action and try to wear him down, although they have to give him four hours' sleep every 24 hours. but meanwhile, because of his capture, the reaction to it, the u.s. is moving 200 marines to a base in italy as a precaution in case there is any threat to americans in africa. >> talk about a high stakes interrogation. have you learned anything more about that other raid, the navy s.e.a.l. in somalia

>> well, yes. but the issue is if there's more than one controversy, more than one arena where we need to respond, that could become a problem. what the military says is this, they want to keep enough people on hand to defend the homeland and fight one war at a time. the army would lose up to 80,000 soldiers though special operations forces would grow. the f 35 would replace slower machine expensive a-10s. drones would replace the spy planes and army training helicopters could be retired. >> we must innovate and make difficult decisions to ensure that our military is ready and capable. >> reporter: they would have to use 1% pay rising toward housing and other subsidies being cut. >> we're trying to solve our financial problems on the backs of our military and that can't be done. >> reporter: governors are concerned about the impact on their national guard. >> it could weaken our ability as commander and chiefs of the national guard. >> reporter: the pentagon plan gets a stamp of approval from the white house. >> this plan is responsible and realistic and supports the president's defense strategies. >> reporter: one governor described the president's tone as aggressive. >> don't start coming in and now complaining these cuts are effecting you. you said you wanted it. now you're going to get it. >> reporter: military families are concerned it could make it harder to recruit. >> they might not even want me as a pilot which, in-turn, scares me because that's what i want to do. >> reporter: if congress renews the sequester in 2016, expect even deeper cuts. deeper cuts like slicing another 20,000 soldiers on top of these cuts they are looking at right now. so it looks like the pentagon is trying to look forward and let congress let lawmakers on capitol hill here know they could be looking at even more. >> it will be interesting. thank you tracy. the hunt is on for ukraine's fugitive president. he is wanted for murder in the deaths of scores of antigovernment protestors last week. this as the world watches to see how russia reacts. jim is live in moscow for us this morning. what's the latest on his where abouts?

>> look, don. donald trump is reverting to two things that are comfortable tare for him. one is talking about money. and he was exuberant over the jobs report today. and the other is racial conflict and division. that's been shot through his political career. to some extent, to his life before he was in politics. he has a model for his approach, and that's richard nixon. he uses some of the same phrases. law and order. the silent majority. richard nixon got himself elected in 1968 and, then, again in 1972. the problem is twofold. first of all, when richard nixon got elected in 1968, he was not the incumbent. he was running against the party that was presiding over disorder and chaos. now, donald trump is presiding over it. so it doesn't work as well way. second problem, it's not 1968 anymore. political attitudes change slowly but they do change and we saw that today with roger goodell in the nfl. we saw that with leaders of the u.s. military and the president is on the wrong side of those changes. >> speaking of roger goodell, let's play that video. here it is. >> we, at the national football league, condemn racism and the systematic oppression of black people. we, the national football league, admit we were wrong for not listening to nfl players, earlier, and encourage all to speak out and peacefully protest. we, at the national football league, believe black lives matter. >> how significant is this reversal from goodell, dante? >> i think it's a decent first step. but, what a lot of people have said, all day, since this video has come out, is roger goodell should have mentioned colin kaepernick's name. colin kaepernick, by name. and they haven't done that and i think that is the thing a lot of people still don't trust the nfl's words because their actions have shown and proven otherwise. that they do support -- or that they don't support the nfl players, even though they did start the players coalition or start to help the players coalition. i was pleased to see a lot of the young nfl stars get together and say, you know what, this is our league. this is our league. the league is three-quarters, three-fourths, black players. and i'm glad that these guys got together, and decided to wield their powers in ways they, necessarily, haven't done before. because, as you saw, immediately, roger goodell came out with that video, and said what he said. he said -- he held to the players' demands of what they wanted to hear, and he said it. it's a decent first step. but those first steps, now, need to be followed through with action. with concrete action. >> john, we saw some top-ranked military turn on trump this week. now, the nfl. do you think people are realizing that his moment is more powerful than their fear him? that this moment, i should say, is more powerful than their fear of him? >> yes, and i think this moment has been exceptionally powerful. and, for the u.s. military, there are a couple aspects to it. one, is the way they were used to deploy force against americans which made military leaders uncomfortable. but the backdrop for that is, the u.s. military, don, is one of the most successfully integrated major institutions in the country. it's more diverse than the whole country as a whole. u.s. military does not fear diversity. in fact, it needs diversity. it strikes me that the national football league is also a pretty successfully integrated institution in american life. and i got to say maybe dante can explain it to me. i have been astounded that it's taken the nfl so long to move to this position. astounded that, for four years, colin kaepernick, for simply kneeling in peaceful protest, was blackballed by every team in the league. i don't get it. but, in any case, roger goodell, has clearly felt the heat of this moment and adapted. and the u.s. military and national football league, pretty significant in this election year. >> can you explain that, dante, what he is talking about and the pressure and all that from the football league? >> yeah. well, i think, initially -- yeah. well, you have to look at the -- the honest truth. and that honest truth is that a lot of the owners support donald trump. a lot of the owners have given him money for his re-election campaign. they have given him money for his inauguration. so, until we can get past that, then the conversation of, you know, why -- why the nfl is just now coming out, after years of seeing, not only colin kaepernick but, players all over the league, kneeling. and this has really become an international issue because, as everyone else in the world understands, this is a human rights issue. this is not a political, left and right issue, conservative or liberal. it is a human rights issue. >> thank you so much. appreciate both of you gentlemen. see you soon. now i want to go to cnn correspondent kate bennet. you have new reporting that the west wing is frustrated with the first lady's response. >> >> i think as usual, the first lady is somewhat out of step on her messaging. and this time, really, there is quite a big difference. you know, when the governors prs talk to the governors on the call. the first lady was actually calling for peace and healing. and, you know, it didn't go unnoticed by the west wing. that find that her opposing structure to this law-and-order structure the president's putting forth is really counterintuitive. when the president tweeted when the looting starts, the shooting starts. that very morning twitter put a warning on his tweet, the first lady said this is a country that allows for safe protests. this is a country that needs to come together and unite. so, certainly, there are frustrating moments for the president and his aides, as the east wing keeps doing their own thing. >> you always say melania trump doesn't do anything by accident. do you think this is a deliberate attempt to undermine her husband? >> you know, it's hard to say. it's certainly interesting to look at the timing and the specific messaging. and when he says one thing, that makes headlines. versus, when she decide to speak out. listen. this isn't a first lady who is doing a ton of heavy lifting on this really important, you know, thing that is he happening in our nation. she's not handing out water bottles, you know, to people protesting in front of her house, by any means. however, it is interesting she's chosen these moments to really contradict the harsh and the real mean streak coming out of the west wing, with language that does feel, in a certain way, that it's purposefully opposed to what the president is saying. >> kate bennet, thank you so much. appreciate it. bring in now former white house communications director mr. anthony scaramucci. earlier today, he interviewed former white house chief of staff john kelly. nice job, sir. how you doing? >> good to see you, don. >> good to see you. >> good. >> let's talk about your interview. but -- you -- you -- you just thanked drew brees on twitter for disagree being trump, and being a role model for others to see his sort of callousness for what it is. that's huge. wow. >> i sank him or i praised him? i think it's awesome he's doing that. at the end, you need the world to show light to other people. the president is a tribal leader, and he is trying to split the country. you know, the first name of the country is united. he is trying to disunite the country and split it. so he wants people like drew brees and the nfl to help him do that. and i think they've capitulated. they don't want to do that. i think it's wonderful. >> you asked general kelly about the former defense secretary, james mattis's jaw-dropping statement, essentially saying trump is dividing the country, violating the constitution, and isn't mature enough to lead. kelly agreed. i mean, that is a big deal, coming from the president's former chief of staff, anthony. >> yeah. well, listen, i mean, if you saw the interview, i mean, it was very straightforward. i don't -- i don't necessarily think the general was trying to break news, as much as he was just trying to express his patriotic feeling about the country. and also to explain to people that the american military holds the constitution sacred to its heart. and they take an oath, every time they're promoted, to that constitution. and i think the point that him and general mattis, admiral mcraven, these great men in our country are making, is that the institution of the constitution and the great institutions of the united states are more important than one man. and so the notion that our military or national guard would be used and we're pursing between smoke canisters or teargas to clear way for a photo op. i think was a real low point of the presidency. and so i think that was a very important statement for him. but it was a very predictable statement because if you asked all of them and they came out of that apolitical shell, don, i don't think there's very, very many of those great men that would agree with what the president did. >> i want to get to that interview that you did. i'm going to play some of it, a moment from the interview, here it is. >> i think we need to look harder at who we elect. i think we should start, all of us, regardless of what our views are in politicings. i think we should look at people that are running for office and put them through the filter. are they -- what is their character like? what is their -- what are their ethics? are they willing, if they're elected, to represent all of their constituents? not just the base but all of their constituents. and then, looks at the politics. >> i think maybe that was my favorite thing that he said the entire interview. i mean, general kelly, basically, went there. why does it seem that he is still unwilling to be 100% frank, though, about president trump? >> well, i think it's a very tough spot. he worked for the president. listen. it's a tough spot for me. i got -- i got fired, after 11 days. i thank general kelly, actually, for saving my marriage. for doing that for me. but, you know, listen. i got fired. i tried to stay loyal to the president. you are trying to help the country. you are a patriot. for two years, i tried to stay loyal to the president and he's done crazy things. to disavowing our intelligence agencies to asking our congresswomen to go back to the countries they originally came from. you know the list. i know the list. and, now, we're at this great moment where he would really like to divide the country, and he would like to focus on a certain basis of people. try to gin up that base, get them to turn out so that he can win re-election. and i think it's disgusting. >> i have got limited timeand i want to get another part of your interview. i think it deserves a lot of attention here. >> all right. go ahead. >> so the president likes to call himself a stable genius. you asked kelly about that assessment. watch. >> is the president a stable genius? or is he a very stable genius? >> he's -- what's a genius? i don't know what that is. i don't think i should comment. i'm -- you know, i'm not -- not qualified to comment on stable or unstable. >> i mean, that was a very long and telling pause, anthony. he won't even say if the man he served is stable or unstable? what's he going to do? you know he's unstable. the guy is unstable. he swore an oath to the constitution, the general did, for 40 years, he needed to be apolitical. in the united states marine corps. and so you're not going to break out of your shell in two minutes. it's just not going to happen. although, i did ask him that question at the salt conference a year ago in las vegas, and he had a more funny kwquip. it was funny. everyone laughed but i guess it's uncomfortable because he is disavoii di disa-avowing the president. he is agreeing with his great friend general mattis. and trying to be a balanced and fair guy. over the last year, i have learned a lot about general kelly. enormous amount of respect for him. 40 years in the marine corps. he is a gold-star family member and he is a brilliant guy. he's a very well-read guy, and i wouldn't mistake that cautiousness for anything other than the fact that he's had 40 years in the marine corps, and wants to stay true to that apolitical nature. >> i appreciate you sharing thoughts on this interview. nice job, anthony scaramucci. thank you so much. >> good to be here, don. >> a week that began with peaceful protestors gassed so the president could have a photo op, ends with him having lost support of some of his military former top brass and the nfl. what will the impact be with election day, just five months away?

>> i think one of the most reprehensible and one of the dumb educate days. he has given the opposition so many video clips now that are memorable, i think the history, if written today, would be quite harsh. we have three crises, all merged into each other. we have the pandemic crisis. we have a jobs crisis. and we have a moral crisis over -- over racial justice. and, of those three, in my judgment, the president has botched two of them. he botched the pandemic. you know, we have these studies out say had you moved earlier if the administration paid attention, 35,000 people might not have perished. and he is botching this whole question over racial justice. that dumb photo op. so, the result of all this is he's politicized the pandemic, and he's militarized the racial justice question. i think that speaks very ill of him. and as i say, i think if historians were to write today, they would condemn. historians may look back upon this as a turning point. certainly, the dam started to break when these generals came out against the president as they did. and we saw the nfl movement today. the dam is breaking against him. when there will be a turning point for voters is still up in the air, don. we have to -- democrats should not be complacent. a lot can change, especially if the economy comes bounding back. as it -- >> yeah. danny, if we can please put that photo back up. i mean, that photo is so ridiculous. and so embarrassing. i mean, look. it's just -- it's laughable. it's just -- anyway, instead, you know, the president, today, reiterated the need to, quote, dominate any violent protestors. which he did on that day, when he took that picture. but he totally -- or for that photo op. he totally ignores the issue that everyone else is talking about. and that is this systemic racism and how law enforcement treats black people. why can't he address the real issue? >> you know, there are things that president trump has changed on. has flip flopped positions on, throughout his political life. but this is not really one of those things. he had been fairly consistent in terms of encouraging police officers and law enforcement to be rough, to dominate, without care about civil rights or brutality complaints. he famously encouraged that in the campaign stop. but he's also really shown no interest in terms of looking at the question of systemic racism, by itself. you know, i am thinking of today when reporters pushed him on what he would do for a plan about systemic racism. and he said, oh, we're going to have a good economy. well, you know, the cam pain's position is that the economy was doing well and fine before the covid crisis. and certainly, these issues were persisting beyond them. this is an issue that requires a very specific look at addressing inequities, racial and economic inequities. and that is not something this administration has shown consistent willingness to do or that president trump has shown interest in throughout his public life. >> that's got to be the last word. david, quickly. i know you want to get in. >> he does not understand how culture has changed. 30 years old and younger, more than half that population, now, people of color. president doesn't understand that. politics has changed dramatically. the culture is changing thank goodness. >> i appreciate both of you appearing tonight and thank you for your comment ts and words of wisdom. on this day in 1968, robert f. kennedy made his last speech. and his words on division and violence in our society still ring true. his daughter carrie kennedy is here to talk about this moment in history, and the lessons from her father. our business we were paying an arm and a leg for postage. i remember setting up shipstation. one or two clicks and everything was up and running. i was printing out labels and saving money. shipstation saves us so much time. it makes it really easy and seamless. pick an order, print everything you need, slap the label onto the box, and it's ready to go. our costs for shipping were cut in half. just like that. shipstation. the #1 choice of online sellers. go to shipstation.com/tv and get 2 months free. shipstation. the #1 choice ofwe hwe help you make it.oods: you, the independent restaurants of america... we've always got your back, but through all of this... you made it happen. you made our friday nights. you even made us dessert. ♪ so, to help you get back to full strength, we're giving away free re-opening kits at our website so you can safely re-open your doors. for all you do, from all of us, let us help you make it. ♪ this virus is testing all of us. and it's testing the people on the front lines of this fight most of all. so abbott is getting new tests into their hands, delivering the critical results they need. and until this fight is over, we...will...never...quit. because they never quit. we have seen protests all across this country after the death of george floyd in police custody. back in 1968, on this same day, robert f. kennedy made his last speech. and his words are still relevant, to all those protesting today. take a listen. >> what has been going on in the united states, over the period of the last three years. the divisions, the violence, the disenchantment with our society. the divisions, whether it's between blacks and whites, between the poor or more affluent, or between age groups or the war in vietnam. we can start to work together. we are a great countries and a compassionate country. >> joining me now is keri kennedy. she is the daughter of robert f. kennedy. keri, it's so good to see you. >> so great to be with you, always, don. >> thank you. you know, we hear those words from your dad's last speech. and his message, i mean, it still rings true today. maybe now more than ever. >> well, you know, the thing he -- he talked about institutional violence and, especially, in cleveland. the night after martin luther king died, he talked about the antiblack violence that has been in this country, now, for 401 years. and the need to stop those stugzs stug institutions of violence and that's what we need to focus on today. we need to defund place. we need to redirect those funds to community-based programs, housing, education, and healthcare, and mental healthcare. we need to decarcerate. we need to end cash bail. there is so much that needs to be done in this country to stop this anti-black violence that's been here since the start. >> you know, i saw kamal bell. something so profound. he was just on my show and he talked about how we are living in the part of history, right now, that people will write about. right? i mean, just look at all that has happened, just this week, it's true, isn't it? >> you know, to me, this is a time of profound pain. and -- and sadness. but it's also a moment that we have to harness. we have to harness the momentum of this moment. and push forward. and, you know, there is going to be a time when protestors are going to get off the streets, and people are going to go back to their lives. so this is it. and for those of us who care about these issues. for those of us who want to stop this anti-black violence in our country, we need to seize this moment, and we need to seek out those local, black-led institutions, and support them. we need to educate ourselves. we need to support these organizations. and that's what we have been doing for 52 years and that's what we are going to continue doing. >> i'm so glad you said that. thank you. we all needed to hear that. i needed to hear that, sms especially after this -- this last week. keri, i just want to play part of another speech from your father, that is probably one of the best american speeches of all time. and then, there is some sadness, obviously, in that speech. it's 1968. he is speaking to a largely black crowd this indianapolis, and he actually had to inform many of them that martin luther king jr. had been assassinated. and he said this. >> we can do well in this country. we will difficult times. we've had difficult times in the past. and we will have difficult times in the future. it is not the end of violence. it is not the end of lawlessness and it's not the end of disorder. but the vast majority of white people and the vast majority of black people, in this country, want to live together. want to improve the quality of our life. and want justice for all human beings that abide in our land. >> gosh, we need that so much today. the level of empathy and compassion. as you -- as you -- well, you well know, riots swept the country from mlk's, for martin luther king's assassination but not in indianapolis. where is that level of compassion now, keri? >> you know, don, i just want to point something out about that. my father had beautiful words that night, and expressed incredible compassion and emotion and empathy. and talked about his own brother dying, at the hands of a man with a gun. a white man with a gun. but the reason his voice was heard in that crowd was not just because of his beautiful words, but because of its years and years and years of working with people in communities. of going to mississippi delta in bedford and working hand in glove with leaders like john lewis. john lewis is the person who organized that rally that night. so i think, you know, there is an outpouring right now of -- of white people who are saying i want to help. i want to get involved. but you can't just, as a white politician, stand up there and say i'm for better policing. that's not going to do the trick. you go into the communities. you need to sit and listen. you need to take the lead from the black leaders, who have felt this pain and need to lead us in what the priorities need to be. and then, you have a platform to give a speech like my dad gave. >> keri, thank you so much. thank you. you are the perfect -- you are the perfect person to have on right now, and at the end of the week. thank you. >> i love you, sweetie. >> i love you so much. kari and i are friends. i love you. and i can't wait to have more conversation like this and learn more from you. just when we don't have to socially distance. thank you so much. this is a big hug from me. you take care. bye-bye. >> bye. >> protestors have been blasted with pepper spray, shoved by police, and even shot with foam and rubber bullets. i'm about to cry, sorry. and the damage is brutal. take a look at -- this is my next guest, after she was shot with a foam bullet. she speaks out, right here, after this break. i got an oriole here. eh. common bird. ooh look! over here! something much better. there it is. peacock, included with xfinity x1. remarkable. fascinating. -very. it streams tons of your favorite shows and movies, plus the latest in sports news and... huh - run! the newest streaming app has landed on xfinity x1. now that's... simple. easy. awesome. xfinity x1 just got even better with peacock premium included at no additional cost. no strings attached. just say "peacock" into your voice remote to start watching today. we have seen incidents across the country with violent police encounters at demonstrations. joining me now is latoya ratliff who was hit in the head by a foam bullet at a protest in ft. lauderdale this weekend. look at you. oh my gosh. you were shot in the face with a foam bullet. you say you aren't able to open your right eye yet. is it permanent damage, do you know? >> i'm not sure yet. over the next few weeks or so, i have to go back and visit additional doctors to see if there's any permanent damage or adigle dama additional damage beyond what i'm already aware of. >> why did you want to be out there, la toya? >> for me, growing up, i always heard about my great ant fannie may and she was a civil rights activist. and one of the messages my family told me about is that, for her, she always said it's the responsibility of everyone, to ensure that everybody has equal rights, in this country. and that if that's something that we all want, then you have to get out and do something. so this past week, you know, seeing videos of george floyd. seeing and remembering other videos of individuals that look like him, going through those experiences, it made me realize i don't want to be home when people are out there voicing their opinions. i want to be out in the streets with them because we are all on the same page, and we all understand that something needs to change. >> i want to show and it's graphic. this video of you. it's just moments after. you are bloodied and being led away by protestors. what were you feeling and thinking, in that moment? >> honestly, you know, everything slowed down for me. i -- i -- i -- when i was hit, i felt this pressure, and i immediately hit the ground. and all this was done within seconds. and, you know, there were people around me that picked me up. and got me to a car, and got me to a hospital. and, throughout this entire time, you know, especially once i got in the car and i saw the blood, and i'm thinking have i really been shot? is this the end of the three hours i've been at this protest. and everything has went well and i've met so many wonderful people. this is how it ends is me being shot and in the hospital. >> where do we go from here? >> for me, it's important that we recognize that there is a systematic issue with excessive use of force in this country. what i want, and the people i stand shoulder to shoulder want, is for the systems that have their knees on our necks, to get off. this can't happen again. this can't happen to anyone, including people that don't look like me. what we want is someone that's going to be put in power of this country, that is going to be elected, that's going to understand that black lives matter. and understand that because we're saying that black lives matters, it doesn't mean that other lives don't matter. it just means that, currently, and throughout history, black lives haven't been valued. and that can't happen anymore. there never should be another time where someone is attending a peaceful protest, someone is exercising their rights as an american, and someone leads that event with a bullet -- shot -- shot with a bullet. and, beyond that, i got to go home. you know, that's one of the things that i -- i keep, you know, telling my family and my friends that are concerned. is i'm in pain. you know, i don't know what -- you know, i don't know what further damage i have. but i was able to go home. and there are too many instances where people, that look like me, don't get that opportunity to go home. >> well, i got to say your great aunt would be very proud. la toya, thank you, so much, i really appreciate it and you be well. keep us updated on your progress. thanks. >> thank you so much for having me. >> so, everyone, the moment that you have all been waiting for. and that is "black-ish" actress jennifer lewis writing a powerful song about the death of george floyd. she is going to join me, live, and she is next. >> everybody knows what goes around comes around. how would you feel if someone you loved was taken down?

richard besser who for years led the cdc's response to the nation's outbreaks has been tracking this illness all day. >> reporter: this sweeping salmonella outbreak is so serious, the centers for disease control is bringing back workers furloughed in the government shutdown to respond. almost 300 people are sick in 18 states. incredibly, 42 percent have had to be hospitalized which may mean the outbreak is larger than we think. the likely culprit, the usda points to raw chicken from a company called foster farms in california. they haven't said how many packages are effected. they warn people to steer clear of chicken with these three specific codes on the package. some of that chicken made it onto tara's loundsbury's dinner table. >> just wondering what if my kids get sick, what, what, what. >> reporter: foster farms said it's taking additional steps to control salmonella in their chicken. chicken is safe if it's thoroughly cooked. but remember, salmonella can spread if raw chicken isn't properly handled. we coated this chicken with the glow in the dark powder to stand in for salmonella. into the sink for a rinse, then onto the cutting board. finally into the pan. looks clean, right? cue the lights. the board, your hands, the salad covered in germs that get transferred to the rest of your meal. you may not know but there are many strains of salmonella. one of the things that concern the cdc is that this outbreak alone has 7 different types of salmonella causing disease and some are resistant to antibiotics. >> 7 kinds? >> 7 kinds. >> if you start to feel sick what can you expect? what do you do? >> your symptoms would develop within three days of eating the chicken. if you have severe stomach symptoms you have to get checked out because antibiotics may shorten the course and in some people may save their lives. >> thank you, dr. besser. on a big cautionary warning tonight. that team of medical experts called back to work in the middle of a shutdown, the second full week of the government shutdown and a new crises is bearing down on the u.s. economy as well, that showdown over the debt ceiling. the market in a slump tonight, the dow falling 160 points. what else can you expect in your life and your pocketbook in these nine days before the big crises on the debt ceiling hits. abc's chief white house correspondent jonathan karl now. >> reporter: d-day for default is nine days away but already the markets are spooked. the dow down 900 points over the past three weeks. it could get a whole lot worse by the middle of next week. just look at what happened the last time congress flirted with default. america's credit was downgraded and the dow had its 6th biggest drop ever, over 600 points in a single day, a huge hit to 401(k)s and college savings plans. economists are also warning that as we inch closer, you're likely to see higher interest rates on new mortgages and car loans. nobody knows exactly when economic disaster will strike but the pain would begin with the fear of default before it actually happens. >> insane, catastrophic, chaos, these are some of the more polite words. warren buffett likened default to a nuclear bomb. a weapon too horrible to use. >> reporter: some house republicans say the warnings are exaggerated. >> it's a big deal but it is not an economic collapse. >> reporter: most economists disagree, warning congress is playing with fire. and the impasse has already caught the attention of china and japan which together own $2.4 trillion of u.s. debt and warn today that the u.s. must deal with this issue quickly. but the divide between the two sides is as deep is ever, the president saying again today no negotiations before the debt ceiling is increased. republicans demanding spending cuts first. >> the president said today if there is unconditional surrender by republicans he'll sit down and talk to us. that's not the way our government works. >> reporter: we've just learned the president will make a major economic announcement tomorrow. he will nominate janet yellen to be the new fed chair and replacing ben bernanke becoming the first woman to hold that job. >> jonathan karl at the white house again tonight. now we want to bring you up to date on the first week of obama care and the government website giving americans insurance options. department of health and human services secretary kathleen sebelius said today the average wait time has now been cut in half and hundreds of thousands of americans have gone online to create new accounts, even if they've not yet chosen a plan. and tonight the u.s. says it is trying to learn the secrets held by an al qaeda terrorist held on a u.s. battleship at sea, the man seized in that bold raid in libya. abc's global affairs correspondent martha raddatz is here with the latest. >> reporter: the most urgent information they want to get from al libi is whether there are any more attacks planned. right now a team of interrogators is on the ship with him. they cannot use torture or degrade him but they can play good cop bad cop, threaten him with very serious legal action and they will try to wear him down although they have to give him four hours' sleep every 24 hours. but meanwhile, because of his capture and the reaction to it, the u.s. is moving 200 marines to a base in italy as a precaution in case there is any threat to americans in africa. >> talk about a high stakes interrogation. have you learned anything more about that other raid, the navy s.e.a.l.s in somalia during the middle of the night? >> reporter: yes. when the s.e.a.l.s went to grab the al shabab senior leader, they got lots more resistance than they thought. there was a fire fight and in the midst of all that, the s.e.a.l.s spotted children inside the compound and the commander decided to back off rather than to risk harming the kids. that is the advantage of having troops on the ground, diane, they can make that kind of instant decision. >> martha, thank you so much tonight. we move on next because we reported here about the concern over those detergent pods, brightly colored pellets that look so much like candy and kids can't tell the difference. they've made a lot of children sick. tonight the story entered a new chapter because a determined grandmother says this has to change right now. abc's linsey davis with it. >> reporter: detergent packets like these are advertised as an end to messes, spills and heavy just but they're also sending more and more children to the emergency room. children like 1-year-old alexander klienschmidt who spent the past ten days complaining to life in a minnesota intensive care country after his family says he miss took one of these tide pods for candy. same for 15-month-old dakari byrd. >> he started to go blue, got lethargic. >> reporter: as this product gross in popularity, so are the calls to poison centers. from the beginning of of january to the end of august of this year, there were more than 6,700 reports of these incidents, roughly 450 cases more than in all of 2012. proctor and gamble, the makers of tide pods, have already changed their packaging twice, most recently in july. some complained that the old containers looked like candy jars. they're now no longer see through. they have also not only increased the number of warning labels but the placement of them, like this right across the top. >> children aren't going into the packaging to get the product. they're intercepting it from when the parent is actually transporting it. >> reporter: she's demanding in an online petition that the company stop making their pods look like candy and wrap each one in a separate wrapper. it's gotten 34,000 signatures. but proctor and gamble tell abc news the company has no plans to make additional changes, saying we're confident in the positive impact of the many actions we've taken. linsey davis, abc news, new york. we have news tonight that carrie kennedy, the daughter of robert kennedy, is going on trial for that car accident last year. she is accused of driving while on drugs in new york state. she claims she

road rage attack involving a motorcycle group in new york city. abc news has learned an undercover police detective is in custody in connection with the case. you'll remember that driver of an suv was beaten in front of his family after they were surrounded by bikers. off-duty police officers riding with the group. police are investigating why they apparently did not stop the attack, and there is a question whether one officer may even have participated in the assault. and next tonight, our washington watch dog is back. today the federal government introduced its new $100 bill, a bold new look, even a 3-d image. but abc's david kerley explains how the government managed to lose money while making money. >> reporter: here it is, the new $100 bill delivered across the country today and there is a lot to see on the new c-note. a 3-d hologram ribbon, the liberty bell and ink well that changes color and micro printing on his collar. what officials aren't saying is that all this high tech anti-counterfeiting came at a high price. tonight more than a billion of these bills are in storage, rejected by the federal reserve because there were creases on the front and back and then too much ink used on another 300,000 bills. >> there were major screw-ups at the bureau. people batched it, wasted your money. >> reporter: government investigators say the bureau of printing and engraving didn't do enough testing of printing presses and questioned project management. so we went to the director. >> clearly we will have to shred some notes. >> reporter: getting rid of money costs money, a lot. the bureau can't give us a total number but using their estimates to inspect, reproduce and destroy bad bills, it could be as much as $50 million or more. >> it has presented a significant challenge to manufacture this note. but we took the time to get it right. >> with all due respect though, millions and millions of dollars are down the drain. >> i don't want to see a substandard note goes out in circulation. i don't think the american public would wants to see a substandard note. >> reporter: frugal ben franklin, a printer himself, might have been impressed with this bill but his own quote offers a scolding, waste nothing. david kerley, abc news, washington. next in china where a lethal swarm of huge hornets is being blamed tore killing dozens of people. the scene from the

the source learned what bin laden was looking to finance attacks inside the united states and that the information helped foil a plot against a target in los angeles. let's bring in our national security analyst, the al qaeda expert, peter bergen, who actually met with bin laden back in 1997. pretty explosive indications here. the fbi was sitting on a source close to bin laden but apparently never shared that information with all the committees investigating what happened. >> yeah. it's extraordinary, wolf. think about literally hundreds of thousands of man and woman hours that went into the 9/11 investigation. this seems like an important thing the commission should have known. the u.s. government was aware that bin laden was a problem in '93. we know that already. the state department issued a report about him. but this kind of -- you know, the idea that they can cite a source inside his inner circle is unusual. >> when you met with him years later you had no clue the u.s. had a source that was planted inside. >> i would have been deeply surprised. you know, very hostile to westerners, to americans in general. the question is we don't know who this source was. it's not clear from reporting if the source was in afghanistan, was he insaudi arabia, it's not clear. >> it's coming to light now because of an obscure legal case that all of a sudden this information is coming to light. >> you know, thinking about it, 1993 bin laden was living in sudan so my guess is the source would have been in sudan. there are number of people i know who have either been indicted or have been of interest to u.s. authorities who might kind of correspond to this source inside al qaeda at that time. >> very sensitive information, obviously. all these many years later osama bin laden is dead, we know what he organized on 9/11, but it's still i guess indicative if, in fact, they didn't share this information, the fbi, with all the congressional committees investigating all the supersensitive outside committees that we're investigating, that's an embarrassment to the fbi. >> yeah. i mean, you know, there's plenty of embarrassment to go around. the cia didn't tell the fbi about people that were associated with al qaeda inside the united states before 9/11. and if those names have been known, they could have been detected. but the fact is is that this sort of changes our view a little bit of how -- actually, i think the big story here is an attack in 1993 that was averted in los angeles, because of this source, i mean, to me that's extraordinarily interesting news. >> yes. very interesting. quickly, you have a piece you just posted on cnn.com on terror levels and threats that are out there right now. and you're suggesting what? >> well, you know, i mean, i think there's a tendency to hype the terrorist threat in certain circles. sochi, a lot of discussion. >> going into the winter olympics. >> yeah. reason to be concerned. but, you know, it went very smoothly. and i think it's not the only example where we have seen sort of dire predictions of things that just don't happen. usually people say the sky is falling and it doesn't fall, nobody really holds them to account. much easier to say things are sort of okay rather than saying the sky is falling all the time. >> important article you posted on cnn.com, peter. thanks very much. >> thank you. >> the russian combat troops, they are now on high alert as president vladimir putin ordered surprise war games right on the doorstep of ukraine. it's the latest disturbing fallout from the violent upheaval in ukraine and it comes as thousands of pro and anti-russian demonstrators take to the streets in ukraine's southern region of crimea, and where russian bases its own black sea fleet. frederik pleitgen is on the ground for us. tell us what's going on. >> reporter: hi, wolf. yeah, there's a big russian population here in the peninsula, and a lot of those russians want crimea to be part of russia rather than ukraine. that's why you had this massive demonstration today where both sides faced off against each other. take a look what happened there. there. when tensions fly this high, there's very little room for debate. thousands of pro-ukrainian and pro-russian protesters faced off on the peninsula, an area with a substantial russian population. the question, should it remain ukrainian or join russia? crimesashgs a ukrainian territory, this man says, and all the demands handed to russia are totally baseless. on the pro-russian side, a very different view. crimea should be russian, he says, in russia there are many cultures and they all have rights. in ukraine, languages are banned and marginalized. a line of police and local leaders tried to keep the two sides apart. the situation here shows the deep divisions in ukrainian society. on the one hand, you have thousands of pro russians and on the other thousands of pro ukrainians. right now they're screaming at each other, there's pushing and shoving but no violence yet. a large russian population in southern ukraine fears they might suffer under the new leadership in kiev, but the russian language and russian culture might be banned. and some are taking the law into their own hands. as we drove past the many russian military bases near the garrison town, we saw this -- a pro-russian militia manning check points together with local police, who are clearly not local to the government in kiev. the men had an armored vehicle. they didn't let us film. we took these pictures with our cell phones. the militia answers to this man, the new mayor, elected sunday in a vote the central government says was illegal. many here hail him as a champion of russian interests. he says his new force is an anti-terror unit. "because there is great danger, we are finding an anti-terrorist center that will coordinate all of our security forces." fear, uncertainty, and anger are drive manager people in ukraine out into the streets these days. they feel these are decisive times and may determine the future of their nation. >> as you can see, woman, a lot of fear, a lot of anger, and of course always the danger that all of this could get out of handle. and then of course there is that specter of perhaps russia getting involved if things get worse here. wolf? >> as you know, fred, ukrainian authorities have ordered the breakup of one of their elite security police forces accused of randomly shooting into crowds in kiev. we're now learning that many of these police units, they're moving into crimea, where you are right now. how significant is that? >> reporter: it is very significant. as you said, that force was disbanded on tuesday by this new interim president. and now what's going on is this mayor that you just saw in that report, he says that he's actually willing to continue to pay those people. he says he's gotten money from somewhere. he didn't say where he'd get it from. he was going to continue to pay them. when those forces came from kiev back to the region, they were cheered by the people there. certainly they will have to face any repercussions and there are some people who want to actually still keep that force alive. one of them is that new separatist mayor there in the town. so very charged situation right now. that is certainly something that the central government in skooef not going to let happen, wolf. >> be careful over there. we'll check back with you. thank you. up next, chris christie cracking some jokes act his own political troubles but the democrat he beat in november says christie's troubles could end his career. and just ahead, a chilling video dramatizes just how quickly terrorists could actually breach an airliner cockpit. is the video realistic? no matter how busy your morning you can always do something better for yourself. and better is so easy with benefiber. fiber that's taste-free, grit-free and dissolves completely. so you can feel free to add it to anything. and feel better about doing it. better it with benefiber. like carpools... polly wants to know if we can pick her up. yeah, we can make room. yeah.

>> this is chris christie's 111th town hall since he's been governor. certainly a lot. it was an hour and a half of vintage tell it like it is chris christie. it was easy for him to do that, though, since the people who asked the questions steered clear of the scandal that's plagued him. >> reporter: a town hall in the part of new jersey where his political career began, and chris christie got a question about traffic. >> traffic lights, especially at the holland tunnel. >> reporter: about the holland tunnel, not the g.w. bridge scandal. >> i can't speak to the holland tunnel lights but i'll look into it. >> christie still has a respectable approval rating in new jersey, 50%, but it's plummeted 20 points since this time last year when it was a sky-high 70%. in a new national cbs/"new york times" poll ranking potential gop presidential contenders christie stands out but not how you'd like. more republicans think he should not run than should. 41% opposed, more than anyone else. perhaps he saw that before saying this. >> the only two professions in america where you keep getting paid even when you're always wro wrong affect my life every day -- pollsters and weathermen. >> reporter: the only reference to his political problems was a constituent plea not to let it distract hip. >> you cannot allow it to distract you from the core job you've been elected to do and i will not let that happen so, don't worry about it. he may have avoided a tough scandal question because he picked the questioners. he did admit he's a discerning politician. >> you will recall that was the woman raising her hand from the beginning. something told me to stay away from that. >> reporter: the toughest question from a 10-year-old girl about education. >> he called her up, creating a moment. >> did you type this? tomorrow. just by coincidence. i'm meeting with the commissioner of education. so i'm going to make him answer this. >> reporter: this was all about christie trying to reclaim his straight-talking persona that made him a different and appealing politician. >> my job is to be the adult in the room, to tell you folks the truth about what's going on. >> now, as part of his promise to tell the truth, krissy reminded constituents that he is now in his second and final term as governor, the back nine as he put it, and that means he does not have to worry about politics anymore. a christie aide i talked to afterwards emphasized he was talking about new jersey politics. he didn't mean to have any kind of comment on presidential politics. >> dana bash, thanks very much. >> thank you. joining us now the former majority leader of the new jersey senate, senator barbara buo buono. she lost in her bid to become the governor of new jersey to chris christie. senator, thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having me. >> i want you to listen to what chris christie said today at the town hall meeting about his future in politics. listen to this. >> i'm not worried about politics anymore, everybody. this is it. i'm on the back nine. and when you're on the back nine and you don't have to worry about playing another front nine, your only obligation is to tell people the truth. >> how do you interpret that comment? >> well, i'd be interested to see what the question was. obviously he's embroiled in everything he says is really shaped by the scandals that his administration is engulfed in. you know, whether it's the nixonian dirty tricks associated with bridgegate or allegations of extortion with regard to sandy relief funds, i think the governor is very interested in addressing those issues even though he's making it appear as though he's not. >> his aides say he was talking about being finished with politics in new jersey but not necessarily nationally if he were to run, for example, for the republican presidential nomination. do you think he has a future as a potential republican presidential candidate? >> look, this is a -- i'm not a political pundit, but i will say this. this is a man who really never wanted to -- never planned to serve out his full term as governor of new jersey. he was using it as a platform to run for president of the united states. in fact, when he was running it seemed like almost a sure thing. and now that it's become a pipe dream -- i mean, if you look at his budget address yesterday, it reflects someone who has almost given up. i mean, i've almost felt like i was back in college listening to my political science professor, a sermon on what was wrong with 40% of the speech talked about the public employee pension system. but he offered no solutions. >> you tweeted yesterday, and i'll put it up on the screen, you tweeted mab it's just me, but chris christie's delivery of budget address seemed like he sensed it would be his last. his last means he'll be out in a year? is that what you're saying? >> you know, i think it's entirely possible. but if you look back at his election night speech, back then it was a different chris christie. he talked as if he had big plans. he said, you know, i didn't seek a second term to do small things. i sought a second term to get the job done. and so just watch me do it. and yet we had a speech yesterday where he really outlined the issues facing new jersey with pension, meeting our obligations regarding our increased debt load that he contributed to, and yet again he offered no solutions. he talked about -- he equated new jersey to detroit suggesting if he we did nothing we could head down that road of bankruptcy, yet he offer nod solutions. i think what we're seeing here is an administration that was really built upon an outsized cult of personality that's coming tumbling down before our eyes. >> do you believe him when he says he knew nothing about the closure of those lanes going to the george washington bridge? >> well, what i believe is irrelevant. it's what, you know, the people of new jersey believe ultimately. also through the u.s. attorney's office is handling that, and i think that one thing is for sure, this governor has lost all if not most credibility. back when -- a year ago when anything he said, everybody believed it regardless of whether or not there was any validity it to, now, you know, he's lost any credibility, so that anything he says, nearly everything he says is not believed. that's why he hasn't even proposed his pet project of an income tax cut. i mean, that's something that requires a lot of belief, a lot of credibility that new jersey can actually afford. he didn't even mention it. and that's something that really appeals to his base. >> you heard from a whole bunch of prominent democrats only after your defeat in that election for governor of new jersey, whether it was the vice president, debbie wasserman schultz, the chair of the dnc, all these democrats, they basically did -- and correct me if i'm wrong -- nothing to help you beat chris christie. do they owe you an apology? >> i think it was a miscalculation on their part. i think people were taken in again, by his cult of personality, but even if you didn't buy into the fact that i could win, which i believe i could have, the fact that there was -- these issues were out there. my campaign drew attention to the fact that this administration was bumbling distribution of sandy funds. we didn't have the money to go up on tv as much as we needed to communicate that message, but we had a very robust online presence and we brought attention to that. the issue with respect to the bridgegate, that was in early september. you know, when the two debates that i engaged in with the governor, i drew attention to that, the unexplained -- at the time the unexplained lane closures over the g.w. bridge and unfortunately no one was willing to take this governor on just then. >> yeah. congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz, chair of the dnc, showed up at the end of your campaign. hillary clinton didn't show up, joe biden didn't show up, vir chilly no one came in, didn't really raise money for you, did injure actually nothing to help you try to beat chris christie. is that fair? >> essentially, but you sound like you're reveling in it. >> not reveling in it. just looking back and i'm wondering if it might have been different if you would have had some support from some of your the fellow democrats. >> there's no question. it was a matter of resources. back in august we lopped ten points off his lead in the polls without spending any money because people were focused on the election. you know, i had a call from one of the political bosses in september saying to me, you know, barbara, i can't tell you who told me this but the internal polls are closing, and i said i know that, i knew that was going to happen when people started focusing on the issues. he said to me too bad you don't have money to go up on tv and, you know, make sure that people know who you are. and i said, you know, that takes money, so on the same polls that showed that this governor was popular with respect to sandy relief at the time, they also showed that people disagreed with him on all the issues, whether it was creating jobs, whether it was social issues. it was a matter of communicating that to the people of new jersey. because they're smart. they want to know who's running against chris christie. and unfortunately we didn't have the resources to convey that. >> senator buono, thanks for joining us. >> thank you. coming up, a chilling dramatization of just how easily terrorists might still be able to storm an airline cockpit. i'll talk to the woman behind the video. we'll discuss what she's asking congress to do.

>> what does the tsa have to say about this? >> well, we eno that the tsa believes this should be a decision left up to the airlines as to whether they will install these barriers. but they said in a statement that tsa applies a layered risk-based approach to security. that means hardened cockpit doors, armed pilots, crew self-defense training as well as air marshals. >> rene, thank you. let's talk about this video. why did you decide to do this? >> because nobody is moving quick enough. it's 13 years later. and we seem now to have airlines -- we had one airline, united airlines had installed these secondary barriers on a lot of their aircraft. now the merger happened between united and continental, the new ceo has decided to remove the secondary barriers from the oncoming aircraft and it sets a dangerous precedent. we have our airline companies that are minimally complying with what is recommended by the tsa for procedures and by removing the secondary barrier the only thing that is prove on the protect the cockpit during those times when the door is open, if that is being removed from the aircraft, we have no form of protection during that time. >> and you don't think that beverage cart that they placed in the aisle over there and the flight attendants stand behind it while the pilot walks out, they go to the lavatory, whatever, and then they close the door, you don't think that's good enough? >> well, you tell me whether that's good enough. that was just depicked. that's the most robust form of protection that the airlines have. and the cart did not disappear. the cart was pushed over. the carts are top heavy. they are easy to move. that cart was pushed over and so was the flight attendant by one of the intruders, and the second intruder just went right into the cockpit. >> basically what you're saying is when they saw the pilot walk out they stormed that cart and just ran over the cart and got into the cockpit? >> absolutely. study results showed 100% time cockpit was protected once the secondary barrier was installed and up. but using the most robust form of protection that the airlines have, which is the cart and the flight attendant, the cockpit was able to be breached in under two seconds. >> and who prepared this video for you? walk us through the process. >> well, the faa requested and commissioned the rtca to do a study. it involved the faa, the tsa, airline companies, boeing, security experts, the cia, the fbi. this study is now complete and came out with these results. moving forward, we have gone and now we need legislation. the legislation has to happen because none of the airlines are complying with the best method in order to protect the cockpit and through legislation we're hoping to make sure that the cockpits get the appropriate barriers. >> in memory of victor, your husband, a pilot of 9/11. >> yes. and 2,973 others who are not here with us today. >> ellen, thanks for coming in. >> thank you. >> ellen saracini, doing important work. just ahead, a kennedy on trial. rfk's daughter, carrie kennedy, testifying in her dui case and getting drilled by prosecutors. we have details of the mistake she says led to her accident. to manage your money. that's not much, you think except it's 2 percent every year. does that make a difference?

>> pretty good. >> kerry kennedy's legal team showed up in court acting like the charge against her is no big deal. the case is simple against the 54-year-old niece of president kennedy and daughter of the late senator robert kennedy. prosecutors say she was driving drugged in 2012 when her lexus sideswiped a truck, kept going and was found by the side of the road with kennedy incoherent behind the wheel. on the stand, however, she said what she's claimed all along, that she accidentally mixed up prescription medications. >> i told the officer that it was theoretically possible that i had mistakenly taken an ambien rather than a thyroid pill earlier that morning. >> reporter: kennedy's connections have drawn tremendous attention to the case. in the audience, her friend diane neal, an actress who used to be on "law & order." and ethel kennedy. the lawyer is famous for his famous clients including michael milk milken. she's also the wife of andrew cuomo. still on the stand prosecutors pounded her asking how she could not realize she took the wrong pill? how could she claim she remembers nothing from the accident. you've taken this pill for ten years, a prosecutor said, and you can't tell me whether or not it makes you feel tired? i guess i really don't feel about how i'm feeling when i take it, she replied. i take it, then i'm asleep no one was hurt in the accident. in the worst case she could lose her license and spend up to a year in jail. >> for a misdemeanor, not a felony. >> but a serious misdemeanor. >> our legal correspondent jean casarez was inside the courtroom before kennedy's testimony, she's joining us now. what did you see inside? what was it like, jean? >> it was an amazing dynamic. the courtroom stood still, as it always does, when the defendant was called to the stand. but in this case, as she takes the stand, her character's put at issue and she can talk about all the good things she has done. and she's an advocate for human rights. she's the director of the robert kennedy center of justice and human rights. she really is a jet setter. last week she testified and she turns to the jury and just starts to tell them that she was in france last week, she met with john kerry. she then went to brussels, belgium, and met with the director of parliament and it went on and on. but then as far as the facts of this case because this is a dwi case, not a case about human rights and all the good she has done, she talks about she had both bottles side by side and she now believes that she took the ambien, but she said she just doesn't remember at all when she veered off the road. and the prosecutor is trying to combat this mistake of fact by saying, you took the pill for ten years, you do know that it has some effects. you start to feel drowsy when you were at your apartment. you could feel the drowsiness, and she would not admit that because they're trying to show that she had knowledge she was getting sleepy, something was happening, and she still went out and took the wheel and continued to drive even when she veered off the side of the road at one point. >> you would think that since no one was hurt in this accident, it is a misdemeanor, the two sides could work out some sort of deal that would avoid this kind of spectacle, this kind of trial that's going on right now. >> you know, that's so interesting because there is a lesser included here, which is really sort of like a traffic citation. now maybe that wasn't offered by the prosecution, maybe she didn't want to accept it. she got visibly frustrated on the stand when the prosecutor continued to say, but you did not feel anything? no, i never felt an effect from ambien. i'm just out when ambien hits me. there were inconsistent statements she made after this all happened that she believed it was something medical with her brain that had happened, a type of seizure, but then she retracted that. she said at one point to the judge, judge, can i talk to you a minute, can i ask you a question? this is in front of the jury and the judge said, no, you have to answer the questions. we are in court. this is a working class jury. as they heard about the jet setting and just the lifestyle that she leads, how will that affect them because this is a dwi case? but it was fascinating, as she said, my father was killed as he was running for president. daddy was the attorney general. it really is testimony you just don't hear in court. >> it really sounds like it. jean casarez reporting for us. just ahead, like something out of a spy thriller. how it helps some wealthy americans dodge billions in tax taxes. ♪ every now and then i get a little bit hungry ♪ ♪ and there's nothing good around ♪ ♪ turn around, barry ♪ i finally found the right snack ♪ [ female announcer ] fiber one. go!

obama said it was going to be closed. no, of course, it's not. >> reporter: begg is now back in prison as police investigate whether he could be an alarming number of syrians. they're calling it politically motivated saying, quote, we're disgusted that begg is being retraumatized by the same guilt by association accusations that resulted in his unlawful incarceration in guantanamo bay. they say he was there for humanitarian work. there was one more word from jeh johnson that the boston bombings may be a sign of the future, a real fear not just of fighters returning from syria, but so-called lone wolf attacks here at home, wolf. and that's really the issue. it's a diffuse threat coming from so many directions, creates new challenges for our homeland security officials. >> all very, very frightening. a giant international bank is now apologizing for helping a wealthy american clients dodge billions in taxes. congressional investigators say bankers at credit suisse used cloak and dagger tactics that sound like something out of a spy thriller. brian todd is up on capitol hill with the details. >> reporter: wolf, top officials at this swiss bang hadk had a l tough questions to answer. they helped thousands of rich americans skip out on their taxes to the irs. and they used some pretty creative cloak and dagger to do that. an elevator with no buttons operated by remote control whisking clients to secret banking rooms. a wealthy customer hiding a quarter million dollars in pantyhouse wrapped around her body on flights. this isn't a crime thriller. this what a senate report says switzerland's second largest bank was doing to help rich americans hide their accounts from the irs. >> you don't want to be in the dirty business any longer of helping u.s. clients cheat on their taxes. >> reporter: big wigs of credit suisse were grilled before a senate subcommittee. the report found between 2001 and 208 credit suisse held more than 2,000 accounts for rich american customers totaling up to $12 billion. nearly all the accounts never reported for tax purposes. >> you can have a bank account, it just can't be a secret bank account. >> reporter: but secrecy was an obsession. there was the swiss banker, who according to the report, traveled to the u.s., had a discreet breakfast meeting with a client where he handed the client bank statements hidden inside a "sports illustrated" magazine. to entice rich americans to do their banking in switzerland, the report says, credit suisse set up a special office at the zurich airport. clients could fly in, service their undeclared bank accounts, then fly out or hit the ski slopes. >> so it really didn't mean much that you had an office right there in the zurich airport? >> it was really an office, where as you say, an office of convenience. >> it certainly was. >> for clients that would come in, but basically they held relative small amounts of money. >> reporter: quote small amounts most of us couldn't dream of. between 30,000 and $70,000 per account. credit suisse officials say this was all done by a small group of bad bankers. they say they'll get to the bottom of it. but so far the bank has handed over 230 names out of those accounts. why? >> is the swiss government going to prosecute you if you comply with our laws and turn over those names? are you going to be prosecuted? is that your fear. >> yes. >> that's your fear, that the swiss government. >> reporter: now, to all the fingerpointing at the swiss government for its secrecy law, an official tells cnn, hey, don't look at us. there's an amendment to a swiss/american treaty calling for the two countries to share more information about bank clients that evade taxes. that amendment is now held up, blocked in the u.s. senate where all those tough questions were asked today. >> brian todd up on capitol hill. a powerful story indeed. congresswoman michele bachmann is live here in "the situation room." she's suggested a lot of americans may not be ready for a woman president. i'll ask her about that and more. and "argo" star, the director, ben affleck. he goes inside the real life halls of power here in washington. ♪ ♪ ♪ ben! ♪ [ train whistle blows ] oh, that was close. you ain't lying. let quicken loans help you save your money with a mortgage that's engineered to amaze. in fact, they depend on a unique set of nutrients.

>> like so many things the president says, it's just not true. we are paying for roads and bridges. i'm very proud, probably the two greatest accomplishments during my time in congress we built the longest unfinished bridge project in the history of the united states and we're expanding the interstate highway 94. >> in minnesota. >> in minnesota, i'm extremely proud of getting that done. >> but there's a lot of infrastructure that needs -- >> sure, we need it. >> schools, hospitals. so many people e-mail me, they tweet me, they say, why are we spending so much money on infrastructure development, for example, in afghanistan, when we should be spending that money in the united states? >> that's exactly what we need to do, spend about a trillion dollars in afghanistan nearly that much in iraq. we need to put that money into roads and bridges here. >> the two wars in iraq and afghanistan were a u.s. blunder? >> that requires more than just a yes or no answer, and let's have that conversation some day. for now, we do need to build roads. we do need to build bridges and i'm all for it. >> remember that bridge that collapsed in mississippi -- excuse me, minnesota. >> i-95. >> that bridge was rebuilt? >> yes, the good news is it was rebuilt in one year's time. the reason it got up so fast was we waived all the regulatory burden and just got the thing built. they came together and said let's do that with every project out there, let's get them built. >> you agree with this? >> i'm not just for spending money for the sake of spending money, let's put it into bridges and roads that will prove products. >> don't build any bridges to nowhere. >> that's right. >> you suggested a lot of americans aren't ready for a female president, saying this, and i'll put it up on the screen. i think there was a cachet about having an african-american president because of guilt. people don't hold guilt for a woman. i don't think there's a pent-up desire for a woman president. i'll give you a chance to explain because it caused a little bit of a buzz. >> no, i'm thankful for that because i had the experience, obviously, i believe a woman can be president. i ran for president of the united states. but pi lived through the experience. there are some americans who just aren't ready for a president. it's a small distinct minority. >> democrats and republicans? >> democrats and republicans. there are some people who just don't think -- >> how did you because at one point going into the iowa caucuses you were atop the field with cover stories in "newsweek" and "new york times" sunday. >> i won the iowa straw poll. i'm the first republican and only republican woman ever to win a presidential contest, i'm very proud of that. it shows that a woman can win. and the overwhelming number of americans have no problem with electing a woman, but the fact remains there are some, but the main thing is people will be willing to elect a woman for president. i don't think it will be hillary clinton who will be our first woman president, but i do believe there will be a woman president. >> when? >> it could be in 2016, if we have a conservative that will run. >> why don't you think it will be hillary? >> she has serious challenges to overcome. she has to answer the question of being fit to be commander in chief. does she have experience? absolutely, and she has the qualification, but she has a very serious hurdle because when the time came for her to demonstrate ability as a commander in chief, she failed that test. she didn't see the run-up to what happened in benghazi, despite giving warnings over and over throughout that year in 2012. during the event, our understanding is that she didn't request that the defense department would come relieve what the individual were under. she was continuing the false narrative that it was a video that caused the problem. but also obama care will be an issue. remember, she's the godmother of obama care. >> during the bill clinton administration it was a different health care but. >> that's right. >> let's talk about a republican woman. >> she'll be the third term of barack obama and that could be trouble. >> a republican woman elected in 2016? who? >> if there's a republican woman out there. >> who? >> no one is making the moves to say they might run. we don't have that right now. it's very early. i hope we don't spend the next two years focusing on who the nominee would be, because the country would be better if we have a conversation and a narrative about what we can do to fix our problems as a country. >> a woman to run for the president of the united states. >> we have excellent republican govern governor. mary fallon in oklahoma, susan martinez, we do have candidates out there including republican women who are members of congress and the u.s. senate and women who are prominent in business. we have a number of candidates, any of whom would serve us very well. >> what do you think the governor of arizona jan brewer should do with this legislation passed by the state legislature that the supporters say is a religious freedom piece of legislation and the critics say it gives an opportunity to discriminate against gays and lesbians. >> i think what we need to do is respect both sides. we need to respect both opinions. just like we need to observe tolerance for the gay and lesbian community, we need to have tolerance for the community of people who hold sincerely held religious belief. >> she shouldn't veto that legislation? >> i don't believe she should. >> won't that open the door for less tolerance for gays? >> just the opposite. this is a decided legal of intolerance, it's effectively eviscerating the rights of freedom of speech, expression and religious expression for the people of arizona and it sets a terrible precedence. >> les beans won't be able to get services like all other americans, that's discriminatory against them. >> we need -- again, we need to respect the gay and lesbian community and they need to have access to services. >> but if they're treated differently than other americans, that certainly isn't respectful. >> but remember we're treating people who hold sincerely held religious beliefs differently than other american either. this isn't one side or another. what we're talking is tolerance on both sides. it is not tolerant to force people to violate their religious beliefs. >> i think you're going to be disappointed because i think, i think she's going to veto. >> it looks like she may veto it, but i think that will prove to serve us not very well in terms of tolerance in the united states. >> there's a lot of tolerance. americans are very tolerant people. and there is religious freedom. >> this is not tolerating people's religious beliefs. we need to do that. >> michele bachmann, thanks for coming in. >> thank you, wolf. just ahead, celebrity day up on capitol hill. you'll find out what the actor seth rogen was promoting to members of congress. his is the cat that drank the milk...

>> often hearings in congress are not about members of congress learning something that they don't already know. it's performance art. if they wanted to really learn about issues, they could get it from a briefing book. >> reporter: today oscar winner ben affleck arrived in washington to speak about the crisis in the congo. >> just a pleasure to be back here in the real state department. i had to fake it for "argo." >> reporter: the "argo" director has brought his cause to the table time and time again. >> my name is ben affleck. fought on congolese soil. i'm working with and for the people of eastern congo. >> reporter: and a few marble pill ars away the actor seth rogen testified about the effects of alzheimer's which his mother-in-law suffers from. sure, these appearances bring some buzz, but ultimately does anyone remember why stephen colbert testified before congress or elton john? or does anyone remember that they did with the cause lost in the flash of camera lights? truth is that's up to the celebrity's commitment to the cause and the journalists covering them. to be completely candid, congo and alzheimer's would not be mentioned on my show today without affleck and rogan, telling some stories without obvious news events is tough to do. water shortages in developing nations got our attention last year in part because of matt damon's involvement. you attaching yourself to this means i will be sitting here interviewing you, talking about an issue i probably wouldn't and people at home, viewers, will be paying attention to an issue that they wouldn't otherwise pay attention to. >> yeah, that's the hope. >> reporter: affleck's co-friend co-founded water.org. and george clooner is a longtime advocate for peace in sudan, even getting arrested outside the embassy in 2012. >> i think we all individually felt that if cameras were going to follow us around, why not, why not make something good out of that? >> celebrities the bring attention to an issue, especially in that issue is not the sexiest issue. to get ben affleck involved, all of a sudden it's a little more interesting. >> reporter: that's somethng most politicians have known for a while. jake tapper, cnn, washington. >> i want to thank these celebrities for doing what they're doing because almost all of these causes are extremely important. that's it for me. remember, you can always follow what's going on on twitter, tweet me @wolf blitzer, you can tweet the show @cnn sit room.

the president obama calling karzai's bluff here? >> well, you know, you might wonder that. you might think that he's plague sort of a game, but let's remember, the president of the united states' statement about all of this, seen and heard by al qaeda, by the taliban, by the taliban over in pakistan, in that safe haven. it doesn't get more serious than this. what is going on is hamid karzai has made clear, publicly, he will not sign the essential security agreement that the u.s. needs to see in place to keep troops there after 2014. without that security agreement, without that legal framework, there is no choice. u.s. troops have to leave at the end of 2014. the president of the united states, out of patience with karzai today, after talking to him, seeing that he's not going to side, the white house was ready to go with a press conference, saying, okay, now the president is ordering the pentagon to plan for that zero option. no security agreement, no legal framework. the u.s. has no choice but to pack and go. if, if there is a change in the plan, and that security agreement is signed, the u.s. might still keep several thousand troops there to help train and assist afghan forces. but, brooke, already, a senior pakistan official has said the zero option could lead to civil war in afghanistan. he predicts 30% of afghan forces will defect. this could be a very serious security situation. karzai dsn't look like he has any intention of signing this essential document. >> we will be debating the so-called zero option coming up a little later in the show. barbara starr, as always, thank you. >> fresh off his appearance on seth myers' debut as late-night host, the vice president, joe biden, sat down with the ladies of "the view," talking about the president's affordable care act, and he took full advantage of the largely female audience today, encouraging moms to talk to their adult children about enrolling in obamacare. >> no matter how old we get, we still listen to our moms. i know that sounds corny, but it's true. and there's no influence on a son or a daughter, that's 28 or 29 years old, feeling physically invincible, why should i go out and pay, even if i can afford it, at $300 a month or $400 a month. why should i go get health insurance? i'm invincible? >> when asked about running for the white house come 2016, the vice president said hillary clinton will not affect his decision. spring is just two days away, but by the looks of these pictures, it doesn't feel like it. the snow is falling, the northeast and the nation's capital getting even more snowfall over the course of the next couple of days. we're told about 1 to 3 inches and that whole arctic plunge, that will stretch from the midwest to up and down the east coast. temperatures will drop 10 to 30 degrees below normal. right now, the u.s. is sending an elite team of marines to beef up security at the embassy in ukraine's capital, kiev. this after last week's deadly anti-government protests, and what is now expected to be a turbulent transition to replace a disposed president, victor yed yedakovich, who is still on the run. in his place, heavyweight boxing champ, natli clichko. he has just announced he's tossing his hat in the ring to become the president of ukraine. and a veto is expected for the controversial religious freedom bill in arizona. but arizona governor jan brewer isn't quite saying that on the record yet. in a cnn exclusive, governor brewer says she won't go by instinct, but information when it comes to the senate bill 1062. >> and i don't rely a whole lot on my gut, because i have to look at what it says and what the law says and take that information and do the right thing. but i can assure you, as always, i will do the right thing for the state of arizona. >> now, those who know the governor well, they say when she says doing the right thing, almost surely means a veto, and she has to decide by saturday morning. sb-1062 expands state definitions to have religious freedom, allowing not just people, but businesses and associations to deny services if providing them goes against their own religious beliefs. critics contend, that's really just a legal way to allow discrimination against the gay community. and while debating that point, one bill's supporter would not or could not explain how sb-1062 prevents discrimination from happening. he is state senator al melvin. he's actually candidate for governor, and he talked to anderson cooper. >> can a society exist where everybody gets to decide who they interact with and who they don't based solely on their religious beliefs? and if for whatever reason, if somebody doesn't like somebody else else, under your law, they dona don't have to deal with that person. >> the bill is designed for religious freedom. no matter how you twist and try to turn it, that's what -- that is the bottom line here. >> you can't answer -- >> there is no belief perceived -- it was nobly voted on. and we hope the governor signs it into law. >> if somebody is fired because they're gay or lesbian in your state, is that discrimination? would you say that's discrimination? >> i -- i don't know of anybody that discriminates in our state -- >> okay, but i'm just saying, if somebody is fired, a boss doesn't like some guy on their staff or a woman on their staff because they're gay or lesbian and they're fired for that, which is legal, because there's no protection for sexual orientation, is that discrimination? >> you know, you're trying to distort a religious freedom bill -- >> sir, you're running for governor of the state of arizona -- sir, you're running for governor of the state of arizona. >> yes, i am. >> you're going to be governor of gay and lesbian people, and you can't even go on the record and say, if a gay and lesbian person is fired simply for being gay or lesbian, that's for discrimination. you can't even make that leap and say, yeah, that would be discrimination. >> i don't know of any case like you just cited -- >> i want to give you one more opportunity, because i think this is going to come back on you. if somebody, anywhere in america, is fired because they're gay or lesbian, and that's the reason they're fired, because somebody doesn't like them, and it's legal in that state, is that discrimination? >> i'm against all discrimination and i want maximum religious freedom, sir. >> okay, you can't answer that question, then. i'm -- i gave you the opportunity. >> that's my answer to you. >> i hear you. >> i know you're trying to set me up. and i'm not going to stand for it, sir. >> whoo, it appears the state senator is facing a growing opposition, because now a band of 80-some arizona companies just wrote a letter to governor brewer, calling for the end of 1062, and my next guest signed that very letter. he is glen hammer, president and ceo of the arizona chamber of commerce and industries. so, glen, welcome. >> thank you for being on -- giving me the chance to be on the show, brooke. >> you got it. >> glen, do me a favor, just begin, give me the top two reasons why you signed that letter. why you want governor brewer to veto this bill. >> arizona is a welcoming state, and there is no -- you just showed a clip. there is no problem that has been identified to us or to anyone in the state of a problem with respect to practicing one's religio religion in arizona. we're a welcoming state. we're a state that relies very haefl on tourism. and we believe, virtually, now, every major business group in the state of arizona has come out in support of the governor vetoing 1062. >> i mean, the pressure is mounting from corporations, specifically, small, big, apple, marriott, but it's not just that, glen. >> oh, across the state. and i would mention, you had senator -- one state senator on, who's running for governor. five republican candidates for governor have come out against 1062 and have asked the governor to veto it. in fact, there was just a poll released yesterday, that among likely republican voters, two to one, they want governor brewer to vote 1062. >> and again -- >> so the momentum continues. >> the momentum continues, it is looking likely, from what we are getting from governor brewer's office, but she stopped short, thus far. the deadline for her is saturday. but in addition to the corporations, glen, you have the nfl. because, hello super bowl and phoenix, they say they're also watching right where this bill goes and every part of the statement we got, our policies emphasize tolerance and exclusive sns and distribuprohis based on age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation or any other improper standard. we will decline further comment at this time. here's my question for you, as we know your great state is supposed to be hosting the super bowl next year, you know the business community. if the super bowl pulled out of phoenix, how bad would that be for you? >> the super bowl is not going to pull out of phoenix. i'll make two predictions to you, brooke. the super bowl will be in phoenix. we'll have great weather. by the way, there's no polar vortex here today. and i'm also going to go out on a limb and say i believe the cardinals will play in that game. >> okay, cardinals and phoenix aside, though. let's say even now, let me take your prediction and say, all right, let's stay that this bill dies. let's say that, you know, the super bowl is played, still, this has been bad pr for your state in the last couple of days. and it probably will be until saturday, if and when brewer vetoes this thing. what kind of damage is already done, glen? >> the important thing is for the governor to come to the right conclusion, and we strongly believe that's a veto. and then to explain it. i mean, given the amount of national and even international attention this bill has received, this is ant bill that you simply veto. it's going to require an explanation. >> what do you want to hear her say, glen? >> well, she's a very thoughtful person. and i believe -- you know, i have no idea what she would say, but i'm sure that she would mention things such as that arizona is a very welcoming state. that this is a state that where you could come from anywhere in the country, anywhere in the world, and really climb the ranks. i'm a guy from new york. i don't think if i grew up in arizona, i would have had the chance to have, say, run the equivalent of the state chamber in new york. this is a merit-based society where a welcoming society or an inclusive society, and it's just very important for the governor to veto this bill, so we can get back to regular programming, talk about our great weather and our great climate for jobs. >> and sports, too, according to you, glen hammer, president and ceo of the arizona chamber of commerce and industry. glen, thank you very much. we'll be watching what happens in the next couple of days. >> thank you. meantime, coming up, this murder attempt at the second largest private residence in this whole country. find out what happened at this castle, a mecca for the rich and the famous. plus, we are finally hearing what president obama and john boehner discussed this morning during their first meeting in quite a while, and the list of topics, it's somewhat surprising. we have that for you. also, heading to disney world anytime soon?

will your typical middle class family finally be able to say, sorry, can't go? >> so far -- >> which is sad! it's a wonderful place. >> so far, that hasn't happened yet. attendance apparently keeps going up and up. i took my family there recently. and there are a ton of families there. you do get the sense that a lot of families save up and up and up. and make this sort of the annual trip for their family. they know they're going to spend a fortune, but they save their money to do it. i just hope it doesn't get to that point, where families can't do it. that would be a crime. >> is there any way, and i'm asking, i don't have kids, but i'm the gal that goes to the movie theater and goes to cvs ahead of time, and buys her sour patch kids there. >> now we know! >> is there anything you can do to, i don't know, multi -- you know, what is it? >> it's a multi-day pass. you can certainly do that and take advantage of discounts. you're not paying that one-day cost. you can spread it over a number of days. they have all kinds of packages, especially for, you know, the height of the summer, when it's so hot, nobody wants to go, or when it's really crowded. they might have certain packages that families can take advantage of. >> look into it. do your homework. >> exactly. but know you're going to spend money. i mean, we have -- and also know, i said, our kids had an amazing, amazing time. >> cinderella still is fun. >> they loved it! and i didn't think we would have as much fun, but we did. although, recringed wondering how many european cities we could have visited for the same price. >> oh, the children! >> the children. kelly wallace, thank you very much. appreciate it. the wolf of wall street, that is up for a number of oscars this weekend. and now its producers are up for a lawsuit. one of the real-life executive's brokerage firm portrayed in a movie suing paramount pictures for a cool $25 million. he is speaking exclusively to cnn. you have to hear this interview. plus, former president bill clinton hitting the campaign trail. why kentucky?

[ male announcer ] if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. got some breaking news here at the bottom of the hour. i'm brooke baldwin. this is what we're learning. word of a massive recall from general motors. more than 1 million vehicles are affected. and here's the issue. it's an ignition problem. let me go straight to our money car expert, peter valdez. peter, what exactly is the issue here? >> well, the issue here is that the ignition switch can accidentally come out of the run position while the car is driving, shutting off the engine, that also shuts off power steering, shuts off your power brake assist, also shuts off your airbags. it's a bad situation. gm had already recalled 780,000 cars roughly for this, but now they've expanded it to 1.4 million cars total. >> which cars, specifically, peter? >> all right. well, they had already recalled the chevrolet coballot and the nearly identical pontiac g-5, they're recalling the chevy hhr, pontiac solstice, saturn sky and saturn ion in addition to those other cars. >> how many issues had gm had in recent years? >> i mean, gm -- these days, all auto manufacturers, and i don't want to single out gm, many automotive manufacturers have had a number of recalls. toyota has had a number of recalls over the years, so has chrysler. these days, especially, auto makers are really sensitive to wanting to jump on issues as quickly as possible. now, this issue dates back some years and they're finally getting on top of it. but auto makers are much more sensitive these days the about jumping on recalls, because there are serious penalties. an auto maker can be fined about $35 million for failing to recall a car in a timely fashion once they know of a safety problem. >> okay. peter, thank you very much. i'm sure you're going to have this right up on cnn.com. i know we blew through that. for people who want to read about specifically these cars, cnnmoney.com. i want to move along and talk about former president bill clinton, because he is back on the campaign trail. and it's not for himself, not for his wife, hillary clinton. he is, in fact, campaigning for a long time family friend, trying town seat kentucky's mitch mcconnell, the most powerful republican currently sitting in the u.s. senate. and it is clear the former president still enjoys being on the stump. >> politics is not rocket science. it's either creative cooperation or constant conflict. it's either a focus on people or a focus on keeping yourself in power by keeping people torn up and upset, so they can't think anymore. and, you know, when allison got in this race, retalked about it, i said, your point is a genius at that latter course, he's skated a couple of elections here doing that. you can't beat that. you've got to beat it with this. give the people something. >> let's talk about this kentucky trip with this man, our chief national correspondent, john king, and host of cnn's "inside politics." and john king, i mean, here you have this 35-year-old, you know, young woman, allison grimes, democrat in a red state. she is taking on, you know, as we mentioned, the number two in the senate, the tip-top republican. how did she get bill clinton to campaign for her? >> you mentioned the family relationship. bill clinton is very close to her dad, who was once a state party chairman, was in the legislature in kentucky. i met him way back in 1991, when bill clinton was gearing up to run for president. and bill clinton, you know, campaigned in kentucky. we view it now as a red state, but bill clinton carried kentucky. that's why he's there, family history, family friendship. but this is also, for democrats, brooke, this is just the premiere challenge. they want to get mitch mcconnell. they see him as vulnerable. now, mitch mcconnell has a tea party primary challenge to get through first, but democrats see a remote opportunity, they're honest about it, a remote opportunity, but they think this young female candidate is the right profile to run against mitch mcconnell. i will say this, though. this was a fascinating snapshot of 2014. now, allison grimes gave this long speech about the bill clinton economy. she never mentioned barack obama. that's one of her problems. he's unpopular in the state of kentucky. and mitch mcconnell was just asked about bill clinton being there, and he said, he came down my last two elections and i won, so keep him coming. >> some of the dems would like bill clinton rather than barack obama by his side. what about the fact that currently, barack obama, not very popular there. do you think kentucky, though, would actually dump mitch mcconnell for this young woman? >> mitch mcconnell has a problem that all incumbents have. and mitch mcconnell has been magnified, because he has the title, leader. voters everywhere don't like incumbents. they especlly don't like incumbents with titles, because they view them as responsible for the problem. i've seen some of the internal polling in kentucky, and the voters in kentucky are mad at mitch mcconnell, because they view him as part of the problem in washington. now, bill clinton said it himself, mitch mcconnell's a very crafty politician. if you go back, there have been many times in his career he's been counted out. he has a tea party challenge to deal with first. he hasn't spent a lot of money focusing on the democrat yet. but if this race right now, february, so, in some ways, discount this, but this race right now, if you match up allison grimes and mitch mcconnell, it's a toss-up, which tells you mitch mcconnell is going to have to fight, assuming he survives this primary, and it tells you, brooke, that a boat load of national money from republicans and democrats is going to come into this race. because if democrats see a chance to knock off the leader, you have to go back in history a little bit, when the republicans knocked off tom dashel when he was the senate democratic leader. there's a little bit of a grudge match here. trust me, this is a big one. >> okay. we'll watch that. but also this. because we're finally getting some details from the john boehner/president obama meeting, you know, early this morning, the first meeting in months and months. we know it happened for about an hour. and just looking at the list, john king, they talked about manufacturing, trade, flood insurance, immigration, health care, afghanistan, california drought. the list goes on. do we have any idea what they talked about the most? >> no, we don't. what we're getting from both sides is that it was a productive meeting, it was a cardial meeting. but when you don't have a very long meeting and a long list of items, what does that tell you? they pretty much went through, we've got to do this, do this, and a readout from speaker boehner, one of his top aids, where they can get things done, they will try to get things done. that was the end of the meeting, there are some like drought and farm policy, where you can see compromise. if you want to talk immigration, budget, taxes, big things, health care, don't count on the it. >> manufacturing, president talking about that from the east room of the white house in about a half hour are now. we'll take a little bit of that. mr. king, thank you so much. and make sure we watch john king, "inside politics," right here sunday mornings on cnn. a big boost for trendy, all-electric tesla cars. "consumer reports" has just named the tesla model "s" its top-rated car for 2014. the magazine apparently can't get enough of tesla, because last year it described the model "s," as the best car it has ever tested. if you want one, start saving now. this thing is not cheap. it goes anywhere in the neighborhood of $70,000 to $90,000. a home was a good investment for most of us in 2013. nationally, home prices surged 11.3%, according to s&p case-shiller. its home price index had its best year since 2005. so it's been a little while, but s&p also warns, the strongest part of the housing recovery may be over. home sales have fallen recently amid bad weather and higher mortgage rates. coming up next, judy garland's, ugh, her children, not so much children anymore, but they include liza my nellla, reportedly set to unite on stage this weekend at the oscars. we'll tell you why. plus, he is the rare person whose movie hits are known for folks of all ages, from "animal house" to ""ghostbusters"," we'll continue talking about harold rames' legacy. next.

>> only himself. >> well, the defendants in this lawsuit maintain that rugrat is not green, but a combination of characters. and the academy awards, nearly days away. and while everybody is talking about who will take home a trophy, there is something even bigger brewing, as in, a "wizard of oz" tribute. the iconic 1939 musical will be marking 75 years. ♪ somewhere over the rainbow ♪ way up high ♪ there's a land that i heard of, once in a lullaby ♪ >> i don't care how old you are, doesn't that just still kind of give you the goose bumps? there is more to this story. hollywood reporter has the scoop, they're reporting that garland's three kids will reunite at the oscars for the tribute. liza took home a best actress oscar back in 1973 for "cabaret," so joining me live, her and her classic movie host, ben makeowitz. do we have any idea what they'll be doing this weekend on stage? >> yeah, oddly, they're not consulting me for what they ought to do on stage. >> they're not? >> i've got a lot of really good ideas. that's crazy. you just heard "over the rainbow." i imagine these are three people who could give a fairly nice rendition of "over the rainbow," but we don't know what they're going to do. it will be something of a surprise. but it's merely a surprise that the three of them are ready to appear on stage together, to celebrate, perhaps, their mother's signature film. >> do we know, when was the last time all three of these judy garland children shared a single stage? >> i don't know when they all were together, because, of course, they didn't get along for some time, although reportedly, things are now good between them and lorna luft, who was a singer and actress in her own right, performs secretly, and liza appeared with her at a performance as late as last year. so they have been together, and things are now good, which, of course, warms all of our hearts. they clearly all loved their mother, but those were difficult years to have to deal with what their mother was going through, and to know now that as they've reached into their 50s and 60s, that they're get along is really nice. and somehow that comforts me and all of us who love "wizard of oz," is comforted by that. and that's something i want to see at the oscars. >> i'm excited too. let me ask you now about harold ramis, the great hollywood director and actor, passed away. we talked about this yesterday, age 69. but i wanted to ask you today, just thinking about, i mean, this is a man, both in front of the camera and behind the camera, this man appealed to all generations. for me, it was "ghostbusters," for others, it was "groundhog day," "as good as it gets," "national lampoon," >> and you're leaving out the one that appeals to me most, which is "stripes," which i can quote almost line for line. when you start looking at the movies that he either wrote or directed or starred in, and in many of them, he did one, two, or three of those things the. you start to get an idea, "animal house," kaddy shack, "stripes," "analyze this," "ghostbusters," "meatballs," these are movies that mattered and ushered in, in many ways, this new era of comedies, the jud apatow comedies, the will farrell movies, these are movies that owe a bit of debt of gratitude to the movies that harold ramis played such an important role in. and i think that for many film fans, i don't think we fully appreciated his contribution, in part because as an actor, following the "ghostbusters" movies, he didn't appear much, except in bit roles, and we sort of got the sense that he went away, when, of course, he didn't, he just sort of went into the background as an actor. but that's exactly what he was. he was a background player, would lob in a few funny lines, background player on screens, but behind the scenes, he was a driving force. and i didn't appreciate harold ramis enough. i count myself with the masses who read these obits and appreciations today and thought, oh, my goodness, the level of the quality of these films, the lasting quality of these wonderful comedies, he was sensational. >> the laughter to tears in some cases. ben makeowitz, turner classic movies host, thank you so much. and a quick reminder to all of you, turn in thursday night when cnn films brings you, "and the oscar goes to," airs thursday night, 9:00 eastern right here on cnn. right now, states are racing to be the first to prosecute el chopo, the drug kingpin locked up in mexico. and while we wait to see if and when he's coming to the u.s., we are giving you a look at the mexican cartel that you have never seen. that's next. hey guys! sorry we're late. did you run into traffic?

[ male announcer ] truth is that won't relieve all your symptoms. new alka seltzer plus-d relieves more symptoms than any other behind the counter liquid gel. oh what a relief it is. in a clear example of the wide reach, mexican drug lord, joaquin el chapo, several districts in the united states have brought indictments against him, and they are racing to be the first ones to get to prosecute him. but there are still a lot of doubt as far as whether or not he'll ever set foot inside a u.s. courtroom. because lawyers for gusman have filed two appeals against his possible extradition. keep in mind, he is being formally charged in mexico. el chapo was captured in this area where cartels have instituted fear, but in this bizarre twist, have also inspired respect. cnn's gary tuchman goes to mexico, shows us these two very different sides of the drug trade, and just let me warn you, some of the images you're about to see are graphic. this is one of the most dangerous spots in mexico. a place where few outsiders go. >> reporter: we're driving through the heart of the mexican state of sinaloa, which is home of the multi-national business known as the sinaloa cartel. one of the most powerful, wealthy, brutal, ruthless drug cartels that ever was. its leader is a man by the name of joaquin guzman, better known as el chapo, and this is his home. this is el chapo back in 1993, after he'd been captured. but in 2001, he escaped from prison in a laundry cart. marijuana, cocaine, method, heroin, and murder are all part of his business. violent scenes like these, garbage stuck in garbage bags, are directly connected to the wrath of the sinaloa cartel. much of the blood is spilled here, in the largest city in sinaloa. and the violent nerve center of the cartel. his rumors spread that el chapo was killed in a gunfight, no one here seemed to believe it. >> translator: around here, he is the legend of sinaloa. >> reporter: and that mystique is part of the reason that people are protective of him. el chapo was seen as a modern-day robin hood, helping churn the sinaloa economy with drug money. a common feel iing, leave el cho and his cartel alone, and he'll leave us alone. >> reporter: at this sinaloa cathedral, one of the priests says it's commonly understood that people mind their manners when it comes to el chapo and his bloody exploits. >> translator: people from around here know not to speak about el chapo. we don't talk about it. >> reporter: just drive around here, and you'll see how the drug kingpin and members of his cartel are idolized. storefronts bear the name of the cartel leader. and it's not uncommon to see el chapo printed on the tops of license plate frames. but nothing idolizes the narco trafficking trade more than here. money lines the walls and ceiling of a business and place of prayer that celebrates the drug culture and the life of a man who many compare to el chapo. >> this is a site you'd never expect to see in a law-abiding society. this is literally a chapel dedicated to a man by the name of jesus mall verde who died in the early 20th century. he is considered a patron saint for drug dealers and those who sympathize with drug dealers. he was considered a robin hood back in his time. drug dealers come here, families of drug dealers come here to pray for people who died and also to pray for good transports of their drugs up north. here's a sign, for example. this is a chapel right inside here, and here's a sign, and in spanish it said, thank you to god, thank you to st. jude, and thank you to jesus malverde for the favor of protecting our family. and signed by a family here in sinaloa. but the most bizarre scene in sinaloa might be this. driving down this street in, it looks like you're entering a neighborhood, but this is a cemetery where cartel members are buried. this looks like a house, but it's not. there's a body buried in here. it's a tomb. there are scores of similar mausoleums in the cemetery, with the faces of the drug kingpins posted outside the crypts. narco traffickers who likely grew up in poverty and homes much smaller than their final resting places. and when the drug trade is glorified like this, it's easy to see how someone like el chapo could elude capture for so long. gary tuchman, cnn, kulkaun, mexico. >> gary, thank you. smiles, a standing

expected to veto the state's controversial religious freedom bill. and you will hear directly from the governor in just a moment. but first, brewer herself has been hearing from a growing number of businesses, vehemently opposed to senate bill 1062. it's this proposal that was specifically written to protect them from lawsuits. her office received this letter just today, signed by 80-plus arizona companies, all of them want her to veto this bill. 1062 expands state definitions of religious freedoms, allowing not just people, but businesses and allowing associations to deny services if providing them goes against their religious beliefs. now, critics, and there are a lot of them, say 1062 is a way to legally discriminate against gay people. and while debating that point, one will's supporter would not or could not explain how sb-1062 prevents discrimination. you have to hear this. this is state senator al melvin. he's actually a candidate for governor, talking to anderson cooper. roll it. >> and around your law, under this law, if i'm a catholic loan officer, say, in a bank, and i don't like the idea of loaning money to a divorced woman, because jesus spoke against divorce very strongly, or i don't want to loan money to an unwed mother, even though she may be able to pay me back as a loan officer, just because it's against my religious belief, and my religious belief is sincere, under your law, i could refuse to do business with an unwed mother or a divorced woman, correct? >> i don't know where you're getting your hypotheticals from, sir. divorced women and what was the other one you cited? >> unwed mother. >> i mean, who would be against an unwed mother. i wouldn't be. i wouldn't be against a divorced woman. >> but, sir, as you know -- sir -- >> you're trying to take discrimination to the nth degree. >> no, sir, i'm talking about what jesus spoke. jesus spoke against divorce. >> if you want to watch the whole interview, cnn.com. here is dana bash, our chief cnn correspondent, and you talked to the woman, really, of the week here, jan brewer. tell me, why is it expected that she will veto this bill by saturday? >> well, first of all, the answer to that is, according to people who are familiar with her thinking, know her well in arizona, the answer is what you talked about at the beginning of the segment, which is primarily the business side of this. she considers herself a pro-business governor. she has spent years trying to build back up the economy of her state and she understands very well the kind of backlash against businesses in arizona, that this could have. having said that, that is certainly what i'm told she is thinking behind the scenes, in private, when it comes to her public comments, she is still very cautious. and especially cautious because she's been here in washington. she's on a plane right now, going back to her home state of arizona. so she was reluctant to say much specific about where she'd go, but, i think, some of what she maybe didn't say is telling. listen to at least part of our conversation. >> and i don't relay a whole lot on my gut, because i have to look at what it says and what the law says and take that information and do the right thing. but i can assure you, as always, i will do the right thing for the state of arizona. >> i'm going to do the right thing for the state of arizona. now, obviously, that can be read multiple ways, depending on where you sit. but from the perspective of the governor, and again, the perspective of somebody who considers herself very pro-business, every tea leaf that i am being told to read from people who are close to her is that that means she is not going to sign this. that she is going to veto it. you might ask when. well, she is going to go back today. the original plan was to at least give herself a full day to deliberate, to read the bill, to look at it, and then perhaps do it as early as thursday. but, you know, you never know, because this has become sort of taken on a life of its own, that she might want to take the advice of that senior senator from arizona, john mccain, and just veto it and move on. >> i hear you loud on clear with the issues about the corporations piling on and signing this letter. but i'm also curious of this other story line, which is this little football game called the super bowl that is supposed to happen in phoenix next year, and we know that the nfl, they've released a statement, they are watching very closely, you know, what happens with this bill. do you think, dana, i don't know if you got a chance to ask her, if the super bowl at all affected or will affect her decision. >> i asked her that specific question. i only got a couple questions in, and that was one of my big ones for her. because, obviously, the super bowl, in any state, brings in or should bring in so much revenue. and you know, little-known fact that i actually forgot about, was one of our colleagues brought up earlier this morning, the super bowl was supposed to be in arizona years ago, and the nfl moved it because of the controversy over mlk day. so there's no question. she didn't directly answer my question about the super bowl, but that was the point where she wanted to emphasize that she's very much for growing business in her state and doesn't want to do anything to jeopardize that. i think that was the answer. >> glad you got a chance to ask her just those few questions. dana bash, we'll be watching for the deadline for her to veto saturday. dana, thank you. and just a heads up for you. we are standing by, we're watching for the president. any moment now he will be speaking at the white house in the east room, announcing new plans to boost american manufacturing. so we're watching for that and wii take some of that live for you. so, standby. but i can tell you that former vice president dick cheney is taking issue with the president, and yes, he has done this before. but this time, it's those planned defense cuts that we talked about yesterday. cheney uses some pretty harsh language to argue that president obama is making america less safe. >> i'm driven by budget considerations. much rather spend the money on food stamps than on a strong military or support for our troops. >> tough talk from the former vice president. let's talk about this with van jones, co-host of cnn's "cross fire," and bob sexton, and also former cia officer, who served in both iraq and afghanistan. gentleman, welcome to both of you. and, van jones, you up first. just your reaction to what dick cheney said. >> well, you know, it's ludicrous. i know that he's a big champion of welfare, corporate welfare, for halliburton. i'm sure he would love for us to get in some other big land war where halliburton could make a lot of money. but we're going from having about a little more than half a million soldiers to a little bit fewer than half a million soldiers. people can jump up and down and say that's ridiculous, but the reality is we've got to right size our military so we can fight the wars of the future, which will rely a lot more on technology, being agile, closing some of these bases are make us stronger, not weaker. he threw in that food stamp reference, because that's what dick cheney does. but, obviously, that part of the budget has nothing to do with the defense budget. >> i hear the word "ludicrous" from you, van jones. but buck, here's why i really wanted to talk to you, too. because you srerved in both ira and afghanistan. and tell us why we shouldn't have more drones and lasers and driveless tanks? >> well, we should, absolutely, have those things. but you bring up, for example, two major land wars the u.s. has been involved in, in recent history. and the idea that the u.s. government can project accurately into the future what troop strength we would need in order to address those threats. now, the obama administration's essentially getting away with using budget policy in order to determine at some level what military strategy is going to be. the reality is they're saying, we don't want a force of this size, because we won't need to do these major land occupations in the future. but the truth is, the same soldiers that may be building houses or wells in afghanistan, whether or not someone agrees with that, those troops would be necessary for a war that we can't see coming. and it takes a lot longer to train a combat pilot or train a veteran soldier than it does to say, wibuild a tank. these are the issues they have to be looking at going forward. a 20% cut in army forces is not nibbling around the edges. that is a bite down the middle. that is a serious drawdown in our force strength. >> again, we are talking about the u.s. military. don't you think there is a call for boots on the ground, we will be ready with enough forces. >> let me just add one thing. i would love to hear buck's response on this. we're going from talking about having the biggest military in the history of the world, bigger than every other military, by a couple of factors, to having the biggest military in the history of the world, bigger than every other military by a couple of factors. in other words, it really does not make sense to me. we were planning on going, to having 490,000 soldiers. now they're saying 450,000 soldiers. we're still bigger than everybody, by far. why is this some reason for us to jump up and down and act like we're going to be invaded by canada tomorrow. >> go ahead, bob. >> this is where the administration and i and many others have a separation of ideology. i actually think the projection of u.s. military power abroad is a good thing for the world. i actually believe that the united states is a force for stabilization and for good, and while the administration may love the trillion-dollar welfare states that we hav and the leaps and bounds we're taking towards socialized medicine, the truth is that unlike our friends in europe, we don't have an american to count on, to keep the sea lanes open. we don't have an america to count on to make sure that the dictators of the world can at least sit up and take notice, or like they did until this president took office. these are the issues that come to the fore when people ask, why this drastic reduction. meanwhile, if you try to cut anything this administration a believes is sacred, like entitlement, nothing can ever be cut. there's nothing that can ever be cut from that budget. >> let me pivot. van, speaking specifically of troops, we have just learned, we know that president of afghanistan, hamid karzai, was on the phone with obama this morning, and talking to our pentagon folks, they tell us, according to a senior u.s. official, they tell us for the first time, here we have the commander in chief to begin planning for this complete withdrawal. there will still be an option to stay. but, quote, reached a point where the pentagon has to begin planning for zero troops. my question to you, is the president calling karzai's bluff? >> well, he may well be calling karzai's bluff, but he's also delivering on what the american people want. the american people, you know, after 12 years, want our troops home. nobody, now, can explain to anybody, what we're doing over there, why we should be there, you know, if karzai doesn't want us there, the population, apparently, is more mad us than glad that we're there, if you look at the polling data. it's not clear to me why we should be there. i think people want our troops back home, and this is part of the process. eventually, we're not going to have troops over there. we can't be an occupying force for decade after decade. >> van jones, we watch every day, 6:30 p.m. eastern on "cross fire," and buck sexton, thank you both very much. now to this, an elite team of marines is on its way to ukraine to beef up the security of the embassy in kiev. this after last week's deadly anti-government protest. and what's now expected to be really a turbulent transition to replace the now-deposed president, victor yanukovych. keep in mind, this man is still on the run. he is wanted for mass murder, fleeing his opulent palace, that opened to the public just a day after he took off. former president bill clinton using the unusual situation to get a few laughs. >> you follow what's going on in ukraine? it's the darnedest thing i ever saw. the politicians didn't throw the president out. the people did. they say, this guy is not in it for us anymore. then they went into his presidential residence, which they had privatized for himself. can you imagine what somebody would do if the president or any president tried to say, i think i'll privatize the white house and keep the paintings if it's all the same to you? >> in the absence of viktor yanukovych, the seat for presidency in ukraine and vacant, and former heavyweight boxing champ, vitali klitschko, just announced he's throwing his hat in the ring. the violence may have calmed in ukraine for now, but in venezuela, anti-government protests are becoming deadlier by the day. >> the death toll is now up to 13, and the u.s. is resorting to tit for tat, expelling three venezuelan diplomats in response to the expulsion of three diplomats from venezuela. as for the political chess game happening, look at this, in the streets of caracas, people filled the streets with chaos. they want president nicolas maduro to step down, to leave. but he has strong support from the military, and many of the nation's poor. coming up, ted nugent says his controversial comments are not racist and he's given up on calling people names. but that didn't last very long. we'll show you, and talk to erin burnett, who interviewed him last night. also next, a twitter account claiming to be a fly on the wall at the elevator of goldman sachs, making extra obnoxious comment at the big

transportation is going to fine aseana airlines, the airline that crashed in san francisco last year, so the d.o.t. is fining them $500,000 for not adhering to the family assistance plan. let's talk to alison kosik, who can explain what this means. alison? >> this really caught our eye, brooke, because this is the first time that the department of transportation has issued a fine under this statute that you mentioned. it was put in place in 1997. and what this law specifically does is really outline specific guidelines that airlines have to follow after a crash. and what d.o.t. is saying, that as aseana didn't provide many of them, including a special phone line for family members to call following the days of the crash. all family members could do was call reservations. you can only imagine what worry these family members were going through. the d.o.t. also says aseana also took three days to contact some family members of the passengers. the airline also failed to send personnel to san francisco to deal with the aftermath and communicate in various languages, spoken by passengers on the flight. now, just keep in mind, aseana did comply with all of this eventually, but it took almost a week. one thing to keep in mind, this $500,000 fine, not huge when you think about the revenue from aseana back in 2012 was reportedly $1 billion. so not a huge fine. i think more of an example that d.o.t. is making of aseana, you know, telling airlines, you've got to comply with this federal law. >> saying, it's not okay to let family members know two, three, four, five days after the fact. alison kosik, thank you. >> sure. you have probably heard about this twitter sensation, this presumed wall street insider. this guy was just checking his twitter feed when 600,000 followers sharing salacious conversations and juicy gossip allegedly heard inside of a goldman sachs elevator. let me show you one tweet to set the tone here. suit number one says, was that an earthquake? suit number two says, no, i just dropped my wallet. it turns out this twitter handle, @gselevator, is a fake, and he has been unmasked. he is john lefevre, and these gossipy tweets were not, in fact, coming from inside a goldman sachs elevator, they were coming all the way from texas. joining me now is cnn money's emily fox. and i see this guy hasn't tweeted since february 16th. what about goldman sachs here? can they take any action? >> well, actually, goldman sachs has been pretty lighthearted in their response to this. they told "the new york times" yesterday that the official ban on elevator chart has the actually been lifted now that the identity has been out there. and for everyone to hear. >> okay, who is this guy, this lefevre? you've interviewed him. isn't he writing a book? >> he is. when i interviewed him back in may, he seemed like he was pretty into all the fame he was amassing on twitter. we talked all about the famous celebrity who is follow him from yahoo!'s marissa meyer to swimsuit model kate upton. and when i most recently spoke to him a few weeks ago, he was really excited about all the publicity his new book deal was bringing him. i haven't been able to reach him since the revelation came out last night, but i would imagine he's still basking in the glow of his internet celebrity for as long as that will last him. >> mm-hmm. emily fox, things not to do. thank you very much. >> thank you. as we mentioned, we've been keeping a close eye on the white house, because the president now speaking. let's take a listen. >> -- is responsible for trimming my trees and potholes in front of my house and shoveling snow. and i haven't been back for a while. i don't know how it's going, but i'm assuming he's handling his business. the mayor of the great city of chicago, rahm emanuel, is here. we've goth phil la joy, the supervisor of canton township, michigan, is here. there he is. good job, phil. and we've got some outstanding members of congress who are h e here. especially someone who just announced that this would be his last term in congress, but is somebody who so many of us have learned from, have admired. he is a man who has every single day of his life, in office, made sure that he was fighting on behalf of people who really needed help and he is going to be very missed. john, you are not just the longest serving member of congress in american history, you're also one of the very best. michigan's own john dingell is here. we are better off because of john's service and we're going to miss him. now, today i am joined by researchers who invent some of the most advanced metals on the planet, designers who are modeling prototypes in the digital cloud, folks from the pentagon, who helped to support their work, basically, i'm here to announce that we're building ironman. i'm going to palast off in a second. this has been a secret project we've been working on for a long time. not really maybe. it's classified. but, keeping america, the cutting edge of technology and innovation is what is going to ensure a steady stream of good jobs into the 21st century. and that's why we're here today, to take new action to put america at the forefront of 21st century manufacturing. now, this is a moment when our economy is growing, and it has been growing steadily for over four years now. our businesses have created about 8 1/2 million new jobs over the past four years. the unemployment rate is the lowest it's been in over five years. our manufacturing sector is adding jobs for the first time since the 1990s. so, there's some good news to report, but the trends that have battered the middle class for decades have become, in some ways, even starker. while those at the top are doing better than ever, average wages have barely budged. too many americans are working harder than ever to barely keep up. and it's our job to reverse those trends. we've got to build an economy that works for everyone, not just a fortunate few. we've got to restore opportunity for all people. that's the essence of america. no matter who you are, where you come from, what you look like, how you started out, if you are willing to work hard and take responsibility, you can get ahead in america. so i've been talking now for months about an opportunity agenda. and let me break it down into four parts. number one, more jobs that pay good wages. jobs in american manufacturing, rebuilding our infrastructure, innovation, energy. number two, training workers with the skills they need to fill those jobs. number three, guaranteed access to a world class education for every child in america. and number four, making sure that hard work pays off. with wages you can live on and savings you can retire on and health insurance you can count on when you need it. now, i'm looking forward to working with congress, wherever they're willing to do something on any of these priorities. and i have to say that the members of congress who are here all care deeply about these issues. >> you can keep watching the president speaking there from the east room, talking about this partnership he's announcing with the private sector to grow jobs, grow the middle class, specifically, in the advanced manufacturing sector. keep watching cnn.com and also a quick little shout-out to john dingell, who has announced he is leave congress after 59 years. longest serving member of congress in the nation's history. coming up, we see the president here. president obama, this morning, actually met with john boehner, speaker

house speaker talking about broken promises, a sucker punch, hours after he met face-to-face with president obama. ted nugent, he says he did not mean for his recent insults against president obama to be taken as racist. that's what he says. but he's not backing off on his criticism as anyone he sees as a political adversary. in this extended interview with erin burnett, he says he should have chosen his recent comments more carefully, yes, but that the president in his view is simply ruining the dun. >> i think the president is intentionally disassembling the greatest quality of life in the history of the world. i believe that he is creating class warfare intentionally to get americans to draw this line in the sand, where i've never seen such political discourse in all my life. and yes, i do apologize for being part of that political discourse, because greater men than myself have advised me that that kind of street language in a volatile interview, as you played earlier, is not appropriate when we're trying to get some upgrade here in america. but i cannot put into adequate terms the condemnation i feel and so many americans feel, that this president's fundamental transformation of this country is, indeed, the destruction of the american dream of being compensated based on being the best that you can be. the concept of social justice and economic equality is true bizar bizarreo. the president's a bad man. i want to make sure that americans are encouraged to be the best that they can be, not to be compensated for not even trying. i really believe history will show that i have been right and the president and cnn was wrong. >> i want to understand, because a lot of people want to understand. and look, i understand, you're saying now, i want to elevate the discussion. a lot of people will say, that's great, if you started to do that. but i want to understand why you used the word "mongrel," when you did, okay? because, obviously, i looked it up in the dictionary, i'm sure you have as well at this point, the definition is a dog of mixture or indeterminant breed, and the only use of the word mongrel in street talk was the aryan membership form, you have to confirm that you're of a certain origin. i agree with aryan's nations' biblical seclusion of jews, negroes or mongrels. >> i've never heard that reference before. i've been a cop in lake county, michigan, since 1982 or thereabouts. i conduct federal raids with the atf and u.s. marshals and fbi and texas rangers. and the heroes of law enforcement. and we're re-arresting fugitive felons who are let out of their cages after murdering and raping and molesting children, carjacking. we keep going after these guys. the adrenaline is something like you'll never experience. i hope you never have to experience it. but when we're done with these kinds of raids, we get together and our hearts are broken that we have to face these monsters. and we call them mongrels. we call bad people who are destroying our neighborhood mongrels. i knew of know racial reference. i think the president is absolutely correct. whites, blacks, hispanics, yellow, red, we're all mongrels, basically, because we're mixed breeds. i concur with that. so i learned something there and i learned something from your research into history. >> wow. erin, that was quite the roller coaster. and you talked -- >> yeah. >> -- for quite a while. >> mm-hmm. >> and i know he apologized, he said he was not being racist, said he was going to back off the whole name calling thing, but do you believe he was sincere? >> i mean, that's the question, brooke. and i think, you know, i guess the context i would put around it is this, ted nugent wants to come on and talk about things he doesn't like about the president, in particular, things that have to do with guns and gun control policy, yet we had an entire interview that went about 15 minutes, and that didn't come up once. the entire interview was, in what context did you use the word chimpanzee, and was about the use of the word, sub-human mongrel, and in further, was about words i'm not going to refer to here, which he called hillary clinton, one of which begins with the letter "c." so a problem for ted nugent, including key republicans, including the front-runner for the governor of texas, which have refused to denounce the statements and refused to say that they won't campaign with him. look, he says that he's not going to use these words again. i find that -- haas hard to believe, because then in the same sentence, he went on and started talking about the president being a liar and engaging in criminal acts. it seems it's very hard for him to keep that to himself. >> you mentioned -- going back to hillary clinton, and this word of which we will not speak, a word that, you know, i don't care who you are, it's a horrible word, it's an offensive word. >> right. >> what did he say when you asked him about that? and were there any apologies there? >> you know, that's -- he didn't directly apologize to hillary clinton, no. but he did -- he just said, that was where he made the moment, he said, you know what, he tried to sort of make light of it, which in the interview, i said, i don't take this lightly and i don't think people watching take this light we, but to make a comment, this is the alamo, and on this date ted nugent says, he'll never call anybody names ever again. that's how he responded specifically to the "c" words and other words he's used to describe hillary clinton. and he brought up bill maher also using the "c" word to refer to sarah palin, which, of course, was utterly inappropriate. the whole point is, it's inappropriate and horrendous no matter who's using it, regardless of your political party. >> i don't know how many times, i guess you've interviewed him in the past, but were you surprised he agreed to come on and to talk for 15 minutes? >> i was, brooke. i have interviewed him before about guns, and as you know, our colleague, deb feyerick, has been down to his average in texas and done extensive reporting on the cult of ted nugent, which is a significant -- he's a significantly influential individual, especially in a poor group of people, who care deeply about gun rights in country, and i was surprised. you know, last week, as you know, he was scheduled to come on the program and he canceled -- >> and he bailed. >> -- a couple of hours before the show, yeah. and then decided he was going to come back on, and he came on, and yes, i was, to be honest, surprised that he did. you know, he clearly felt the pressure that he needed to come on and talk about this more. and when i said, was it greg abbett, rick perry, or anyone in the gop who has said, you've gone too far, you need to dial this back. the answer to that was, categorically, he said, no. it was his wife, his brother, who was going to be on our program tonight, and it was his daughter who said, this is utterly inappropriate and you need to dial it back. >> his daughter. >> his daughter, yeah. >> we played a clip, but i want people, if they want to be able to watch this whole thing with you, go to cnn.com. erin burnett, thank you so much. we watch you every night. >> thank you, brooke. >> "erin burnett outfront," 7:00 eastern only here on cnn. >> see you, brooke. coming up, carrie kennedy in court for her dui, but she's using the so-called sleep driving defense. the question we're asking is, will it work?

>> you know, i think it could be. being in trial really is about relating to the jury. and i don't live too far from where this trial is taking place. you're talking about westchester county. a lot of soccer moms there. a lot of people that do take multi-pills, take thyroid medication, take ambien, because they have trouble sleeping. i think it could be very credible to a jury that, hey, i didn't mean to drive under the influence. i just took the wrong pill. i actually think in this case, especially if she testifies, barrack, which according to many, she will, i think it could really work out for her. >> and it's sbraegs, because you talking about playing to the jury and the soccer moms, i don't know who the jurors are, but when you have other members of the kennedy family sitting in that courtroom, what kind of impact do you think that's having? >> it always has an impact when there is a family presence behind the defendant, in any case. we're not only talking about a family -- >> not just a family. >> -- we're talking about a famous family, as you mentioned earlier. sort of the royalty of the united states. so so i suspect that these jurors will know ethel kennedy, they'll recognize carrie kennedy, it is the kennedy name. you have to be living under a rock not to know who the defendant is. and i think it's also going to help her. i really do. i suspect that we are not going to have a guilty verdict here. >> sunny hostin, we'll continue watching it. thank you very much. coming up here, this mystery illness in california affecting as many as 20 children with polio-like childre. it has doctors wondering what's happening. coming up next, we'll talk to our chief medical correspondent, dr. sanjay gupta.
