two people who really helped us in linking with nina and getting to know her as essentially a member of our family here. that is nina's mother diana, and her sister kathy. [ applause ] >> okay. so questions? >> reporter: doctor how do you know she is virus free? what did you do for her while she was here at nih. >> well, we know she is virus free because we now have five consecutive negative pcr's on her. i don't want anyone to take from her that that is the norm and the standard. we did five because this is a research institution. but that is not the norm. we provided supported care, and that's something i have been saying all along, that one of the most important things to bringing an ebola patient back to health is to give them the medical general support to allow their own virus to fight off the virus. >> reporter: will nina will be donating blood plasma as well. >> i would leave that up to her. >> reporter: given all the concerns with what is happening with the doctor in new york city right now, should americans or others returning from a ebola zone be forced into a more strict or mandatory screening? >> that is under discussion now. but i want to point out to remember that it isn't just the cdc and the federal government, but the states have a lot to say about that. >> reporter: your take right now, because there is real certain that if he went toe a bowling ally, or sat on a subway car you might be infected? >> we have been saying for a long time the way you get ebola is through direct contact with bodily fluids. and you must separate the issue of a risk to the general public, with the risk to brave people like nina and her colleagues. nina knew it was a risk, but because of her character and bravery, she happened to unfortunately get infected. that's a different story from the general public. she was with a very sick person. >> reporter: what have you learned by treating nina pham, and what experimental drugs if any did you use? and what does it teach other doctors in helping doctor spencer recover for example? >> we did not administer to nina any experimental drugs while she was here. remember this is only one patient. we are in contact and discussion with our colleagues at emery and nebraska. we continually compare notes back and forth. and there's the public health issue, and the scientific issue of understanding what is going on. and that's essentially what we do here. primarily it's the care of the patient first, but together with that is to learn information that might help others. now that's easy to do when you have a whole bunch of people that you can collect day fa -- data on, but when you have one or two or three you have to gather enough information. that's the reason why we may have done more lab tests. that doesn't mean that everybody has to do that, but we're trying to learn from that. >> reporter: why has it taken so long to get an ebola vaccine? there are reports that there was one ready for human testing a decade ago. >> well, when you get a vaccine, you have to make sure you separate that from a vaccine candidate. since ebola is a disease that has outbreaks and then disappears, it's very difficult to prove something except in the setting of disease which we're trying very hard to do right now, when we go through the phase 1 study. we're planning a large efficacy trial to be able to do that as well as some other designs. now in direct answer to your question, you might recall that we started on this ten years ago, and we have done different it -- iterations of improvements. the incentive for a pharmaceutical company to get involved in putting a major investment for a disease that up until this outbreak had less than 2500 people to be infected. we certainly have that now. it was not a scientific obstacle, and the ability to have one, it was the ability to bring all of the cards together to get to it. >> reporter: was it a funding issue? >> i think we should put that off of the table. we're really talking about what we're doing right now. and we're on the way in the sense that we have the capability and resources to do the trial that hopefully will start in the beginning of 2015. >> reporter: can you pinpoint a turning point in nurse pham's care where you saw things turning around? >> well, you know, i don't want to make an absolute statement on that, because remember she was taken care of by very good people in two separate hospitals. so we -- when she was in texas presbyterian, she was in the possess of actually doing better. she came to us and continued to do better and better. we both supported her. so i can't pinpoint in one patient what was the turning point. the only thing that we're happy about is the turning point occurred. >> reporter: was these plasma donation [ inaudible ]. >> that is conceivable. the question was, was it the plasma transfusion from dr. bradley? certainly that could be the case. but when you have so many different factors, it's virtually impossible to say that this is the thing that did it, and this is the thing that didn't do it. it's just impossible to do. that's the reason why you want to do clinical studies when you can actually get that information, so the next time we have an outbreak, we can say this is the recommendation because we know it works. at this point, everything is experimental. and that's what we're trying to do is take the experimental and make it evidence. >> nina first of all congratulations. i want to ask about the experience. the w.h.o. reports about 70% of those with ebola in west africa died because of this virus. what explains the speedy recovery of someone like nina pham and amber vincent? >> again, i wish i could give you the answer to that question, but we don't know. but i can tell you the things as a physician, what goes into a patient getting better. it's anything from she is young and very healthy number one. number two she got into a healthcare system that was able to give her intensive care early. number two, she was then able to be transferred to another healthcare system that gave her everything she needs. almost common sense tells you that that contributed. how can you relate that to 70% versus this percent, it's impossible. >> reporter: what is her prognosis? any long-lasting effects? >> well, first of all, she is cleared of ebola. let's get that cleared. okay. that's for sure. long-lasting effects, i'll give you an example. a few years ago i had bad inflew sa, and influenza is trivial compared to ebola. and even though i got back up and went back to work, i was feeling tired and worn down. so i would think it will take some time to get her full strength back. she will get it back. that's her, and she is such an incredible lady she is going to do it quickly. >> reporter: are there any restrictions on nina's, where she can go, and how does she travel back to dallas? >> i would have to leave that confidential right now. because that's personal and private, because i don't want to have hordes on her. as she asked for her privacy, we'll give her privacy. >> reporter: doctor [ inaudible ] you related to [ inaudible ] >> yeah. we have a system in there that's easy to communicate. you know, the family talks by phone, by face time and things like that. so when i'm not going in the room, just coming by to say hello, she taught me how to use facetime. [ laughter ] >> anything else? one more and then we have to get her off and home. >> reporter: how confident are you that hospitals are getting the proper information [ inaudible ] other healthcare professionals like nina won't end up in the same situation, as we see more patients entering the hospitals. >> as you have probably noticed there is a strong progressive plan going on. we're doing telecoms and a variety of things to educate more people. not only educate them, but also make sure we have people trained, retrained, practiced. all of that is really getting scaled up. thank you all very much. we appreciate you being here. that is a man that has been under a lot of pressure in the last several weeks, questions about the federal go's response to ebola. well today a very up-lifting press conference, because we see nina pham, the 26-year-old dallas nurse walk on her own two feet. there they are, arm in arm walking back into the building. she says she feels fortunate and blessed to be standing here, and she said she can't wait for a reunion with her dog who is actually under quarantine until november 1st. the doctor said they have taken five consecutive pcr's of pham, and she has been ebola free in each of those tests. so we do expect her to return to her home in dallas soon. we should also say that amber vincent who is the second dallas nurse that treated thomas eric duncan, this is a picture of her, that yesterday officialsing in atlanta said her tests on tuesday have shown she no longer has the virus. we have not heard she is being released however. but some good news on a day when there is some degree of concern here in new york city, as another patient has been diagnosed here in new york. so we are awaiting a press conference to learn more about dr. craig spencer's condition. this is a live look in brooklyn, new york, where mayor de blasio is going to update us on his condition. and the congressional oversight committee trying to coordinate on the country's response. let's bring back in libby casey. libby what did i miss? >> well, there has been some heated criticism from republicans who are grilling members of the obama administration over some recent news. the republican from south carolina has called for a travel ban from west africa. he is asking questions about this new york city doctor, and how he was able to live his life in new york over the last few days. go bowling. take an uber ride. be out among friends. and he is asking why weren't people like that working in ebola patients, where aren't they being quarantined. he says self monitoring isn't working, and the bowling ally is now closed as they try to make sure everything is okay. and he asked the obama administration official, why close the bowling ally. and the answer, out of an abundance of caution. and also to asage concern from the public. other republicans jumping on that band havingwagon as well. and we're also getting criticism of the czar who has been appointed to oversee the ebola outbreak response. but he does have a number of doctors and medical professionals that he will be working with, stephanie. >> okay. libby casey thank you so much. again, we're awaiting another news conference on the latest american who has been diagnosed with ebola. we will have more in just a moment. >> first of all, the chairman missed a word in his opening statement, and apologize for and what do they want? >> the stream, on al jazeera america looking live in brooklyn, new york, local reporters, and national reporters, sitting there in that room, are sat down, which means the mayor will probably be emerging in just a moment to give us an update on craig spencer who showed up with 103 degree fever and now in isolation. earlier we heard an extraordinary voice, nina pham who is now ebola free. let's listen to what she had to say. >> i'm so incredibly thankful for everyone involved in my care from the moment i became ill and was admitted up to today, my discharge. i would especially like to thank dr. kent brantley for his selfless act of donating plasma to me. >> dr. kent brantley was one of the doctors who contracted ebola, and was cured here in the united states. he has been donating his plasma not only to pham but to a couple of others. i do want to go back out to erika pitzi. erica, we're still awaiting this press conference. are there any cracks in the system that have been apparent or was this an outstanding response as we heard carolyn maloney say? >> according to city leaders, this was an outstanding r response. the governor said we had been preparing for this not just at the hospital system, but also with transportation systems. the fdny responded right away when dr. spencer reported his fever and they sent their emt's in with their full protective gear. and here at the hospital we have specialized doctors and nurses that are trained and ready for this. we have done stories in recent weeks, about how bellevue hospital has been preparing and drilling. and one of the things that they have really learned out of dallas was the idea of these protective suits, this is something we have seen come up here. and the head of the cdc putting out new protocol. we know the suits these doctors and nurses are working are completely head to toe. the idea that leave no skin cells uncovered. and nay have these quarantine rooms ready to go. they have sliding glass doors. so it really seems like they are prepared unless we hear otherwise from the mayor. >> you bring me to a point that i think a lot of people have this morning, which is that doctors without borders is known to have the best protocol when it comes to be working with ebola patients. i would assume he had the full protective gear. but they have experience with that over there. do we have any idea how he contracted ebola? >> no, we don't at this point. doctors without borders recently put out a tweet that they are just not releasing that yet. we know he was working directly with ebola patients in guinea. so obviously he would have come into direct contact with their bodily fluid, possibly. so we want to learn more about that. we also want to learn more about dr. spencer's own self quarantine. we know he was checking his temperature twice a day, but yet he was out and about in the city, which is causing people here to be a little wrinkled. you can her this woman yelling 21 days. right? so the idea that a lot of folks are supposed to be self quarantining themselves. and why didn't he do that? that is a question that is being raised. he arrived last friday, was not going to work. we don't know exactly why if he was doing that voluntarily or taking a mini vacation. we need to learn more about that. on tuesday started feeling a little tired. wednesday got up went for a run. obviously he felt well enough to be out and about, and thursday morning reporting the slight fever and that's when got into place. >> and we should draw that distinction between self quarantine and self monitoring. the cdc said this week on wednesday that they will monitor people coming in from west africa for 21 days, which is what that woman yelling behind you was probably referring to. but that's interesting when you say he went to a run. i read he felt sluggish on tuesday. this is the first time i have heard he went for a run and went bowling afterwards. every medical expert we spoke to said look if you are having ebola, you are feeling really bad, and it's only at that point that you are contagious. does that message not seem to be coming across. >> i think obviously we have been reporting on ebola for weeks and weeks now. i just think that people are a little scared. this is such a densely populated city, of course. >> yeah. >> you are on top of each other. so i think there's a little bit of heightened fear, concern. yes, these people have been watching the news unfold in west africa, but it seems so far away. and even what happened in dallas, that's still pretty far away. so it's a little bit of a natural reaction for folks, but again city leaders really trying to get ahead of this and stem the tide on this, make sure people know, you have to come in contact with bodily fluids, and you must be showing symptoms. but again more questions. we need to get these things answered. and hopefully that will happen soon. >> can you tell me a little bit more about the rapid reaction force that came in from the cdc, how quickly they were able to respond at the hospital? >> i had read that there were early reports that the cdc actually had a few people on the ground here in new york city, so before this even happened, they already had folks here, and then sent reinforcements to get over to bellevue hospital by last night. so we do know that that was already in place, but in terms of the city, the cdc certainly leading the way to make certain the city was prepared. airports, transportations and hospital systems all a go. we are prepared and drilling for this. and specialized doctors and nursing tending to dr. spencer as we speak are in full protective gear and ready to go. and it seems from what we'll being told that they were prepared. governor cuomo said we are truly as prepared as can be. >> okay. joining me now -- thanks erica, stay with us. i want to drink in an assist important professor of global health joining us now by phone with the mount sinai school of medicine in new york. your reaction to this latest case of ebola? >> well, we did know it was coming, unfortunately, new york city has been prepared for this for months now since early august even, and so all eyes are on new york, i think we're in a very strong position, probably because there's a legitimate fear, of course, and everyone was talking about what craig spencer did the night before he presented to hospital. thomas duncan presented to the texas hospital when he was already sick and had a fever, and then he went home for several days and was much sicker than spencer was. and none of the contacts or any of the children that he was in contact with has become positive. i think that's a very important perspective that if the healthcare workers on the front lines that are at the greatest risk, not the general public. >> other ebola patients have been transferred to these specialty centers, even to the nih where nina pham was just released. would you expected him to be transferred? >> i think bellevue is in a very strong position to care for him extremely well. i wouldn't be surprised if they decided to transfer him to emery, because they are the hospital that has already cared for the most number of ebola patients. but i think he is particularly safe rat bellevue, and as i said, they have been ready for this. actors have been going around the hospital pretending to have ebola for weeks now. so i think the public is safe here in new york, but it would not surprise me in they decided to transfer him. >> and just so our viewers know, we are awaiting remarks from mayor bill de blasio. we're expecting more details on this latest patient, this doctor. doctor -- oh, there is major de blasio, taking his seat. so we will listen in, as soon as he sits down, to his response on -- the ebola response in new york to this latest patient. let's listen. >> i want to give you a briefing and i'm going to start by reiterating some of the items that we raised last night, and then will be adding information. you'll hear from my colleagues, and then we'll take questions from the media. i want to

to take effect in less than a month. >> our economy right now is headed in the right direction. and it will stay that way as long as there aren't any more self-inflicted wounds coming out of washington. >> reporter: last year congress and the president signed off on the automatic cuts to force themselves to deal with the nation's skyrocketing debt. the original deadline was january 1. and when they couldn't reach a larger budget deal then, they postponed it to march 1. the white house wants another short-term fix to head off a hit to the fragile economy and give lawmakers more time to

lawrence karnow in the kpix 5 weather center. the sunshine has a hard time breaking through the clouds right now and we have rain on the way. we'll talk about that coming up. [ applause and cheers ] >> what could have been here. hundreds of thousands of ravens fans turned out to see their team take victory laps through downtown baltimore this morning after a ceremony at city hall ended up at the stadium in baltimore where you can see a capacity crowd was waiting for a celebration with the players and the ravens staff. should have been here. well, it was their final time in front of the cameras this year as the 49ers held one last news conference down in santa clara. and as kpix 5 reporter elissa harrington shows us, the focus is already on the future. >> tough. i mean, we have been through a lot together. we're here with each other all the time. it's like leaving a family. >> reporter: colin kaepernick and the rest of the 49ers cleaned out their lockers at the team's santa clara headquarters ending what was a magical season on a low note. >> after going to the super bowl and not coming back with the victory, you're like, what do you do now? >> reporter: the team fell short of the victory losing 34- 31 to the baltimore ravens. >> it's good experience. we should have won the game regardless. >> reporter: the team arrived home yesterday landing at san jose mineta international airport to a crowd of fans. sunday's showdown was one of the most watched tv events ever. the "har-bowl," a face-off between two coaching brothers and a 49ers comeback in the second half after falling behind 28-6. the defensive tackle described the final moments from the field. >> to me, i was sitting on the edge of my seat. i was looking at every time kaepernick -- it was like everything in slow motion, looking at his mouth move, the snap, everything. we came up short. >> reporter: players say they will spend weeks getting rest relaxing and healing any injuries and rather than think of what could have been, they are focusing on what's ahead. >> being back next year. it's all about progression and next year. >> reporter: the coach spoke with the media for the last time this season. you can see that interview on our newscast tonight. in santa clara, elissa harrington, kpix 5. spring training a week away. new at noon officials at superdome and its utility company say they are hiring outside experts to find out why the power failed for 34 minutes during the super bowl. documents show stadium managers were concerned in october about power lines feeding into the superdome. replacement work was done weeks before the nfl championship game. sunday was a record day for the super bowl betting in the state of nevada. the state's gaming control board says fans spent almost $99 million on the super bowl at nevada casinos. the previous record was set in 2006 when gamblers bet 9 $4.5 million. they are already taking bets on whether baltimore will repeat next year. the odds of 14:1. the 9ers' odds of going back are better at 8:1. so there you go. speaking of betting, you made a big bet with these cbs anchors in baltimore, huh? >> yeah. michelle griego is home now. put your dancing shoes on. we have to do a little ray lewis shuffle, god help us. it's national weatherman day and by fcc rules i have to be nice to you. >> that's one of those rare occasions.

[ laughter ] >> thank you. sunny days may mean less pain. doctors say the sun may help prevent rheumatoid arthritis in women. researchers followed more than 120,000 nurses in the united states for over 30 years and they found those who spent time soaking in ultraviolet b rays had a 21% lower risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis. the sun helps the body produce vitamin d which keeps your bones healthy. a warning to men who take supplements. a new study in the journal of the american medical association finds men who take vitamin c are twice as likely to develop kidney stones. a second study finds calcium supplements can increase the risk of heart disease in men. researchers in both studies say better to eat foods that are rich in vitamin c and calcium and skip the supplements altogether. watching television may hurt a man's chance of having a child. a new study from the university of rochester shows young men who watch 20 hours of television a week had a much lower sperm count. researchers tracked men between the ages of 18 and 22 for two years. they say men can improve their sperm count significantly if they exercise at least 15 hours a week. how videogames are helping brain surgeons practice before they get to the operating room. i'm ines ferre in new york. i'll have that story coming up. before they practice on patients. ines ferre shows us how it works. may look like a vid welcome back. healthwatch now. a new technology is helping brain surgeons improve their skills before they practice on patients. ines ferre shows us how it all works. >> reporter: this may look like videogames but it's actually serious business. >> we need to stop the bleeding with your right hand. >> reporter: first year resident is using a virtual reality simulator to hone his brain surgery skills. >> the machine actually simulates the sounds, feelings, the actual tactile feedback that you would get if you actually were standing there in the operating room. >> reporter: mount sinai school of medicine is the first in the u.s. to use the neurotouch stimulator. it's 3-d software and hand-held controls closely mimicking actual brain surgery allowing residents to practice procedures before they perform them on patients. >> i think it has enormous potential to improve and potentially revolutionize the way we train and prepare for surgeries. >> reporter: the simulator measures speed, accuracy and blood loss and if surgeons are cutting away a tumor, it records how much of the growth is removed as well as healthy tissue. doctors also hope to one day import scans of individual patients on the device before their operations. >> if we can practice that in a virtual reality environment, we might be more accurate and, my guess is and my hope, reduce complications. >> reporter: the doctor tries to use a neurotouch two or three times a week. >> getting added exposure and early training, being more experienced and come for the in the operating room is beneficial to the patients. >> stop the scenario. >> reporter: training to become a for that row surgeon takes 7 years. the extra practice on the neurotouch may be able to cut down on that time. ines ferre for cbs news, new york. when we'll come back, the car park king now has a face. scientist shows us what king richard iii looks like coming up.

New-yorkUnited-statesNevadaCrestviewOaklandCaliforniaTexasBuckingham-palaceWestminsterUnited-kingdomBostonMassachusetts endorsement of former vice presidential candidate and alaska governor sarah palin. she is a favorite, of course, of tea party conservatives. and here is our major garrett. >> reporter: donald trump's endorsement from the 2008 republican vice presidential nominee was a blow to texas senator ted cruz's bid to consolidate tea party and anti- establishment support in iowa. palin backed cruz's 2012 senate bid. today, he took a conciliatory tone. >> oh, listen, i love sarah palin. sarah palin is fantastic. without her friendship and support, i wouldn't be in the senate today, and so regardless of what sarah decides to do in 2016, i will always remain a big, big fan of sarah palin. >> reporter: trump got another boost in iowa today when six- term governor terry brandstead declared he wants to see cruz "defeated." >> i know the governor just made a very big statement that was appreciated by many, and that was amazing, actually. he's a respected man. >> reporter: cruz accused trump of seeking republican establishment support. >> it is no surprise that the establishment is in full panic mode. we said from the beginning that the washington cartel was going to panic more and more as conservatives unite behind our campaign. >> reporter: cruz's attacks will have a tougher time sticking, with palin at trump's side. scott, trump reminded iowa republicans they haven't picked the eventual g.o.p. nominee in 16 years, adding if he doesn't win iowa, they will have picked "another loser." >> pelley: major garrett for us tonight. major, thank you. residents of flint, michigan went to the state capital in lansing today, to protest tonight's state of the state address by governor rick snyder. they blame him for not cleaning up the lead that has poisoned the water in flint, a city of 100,000, predominantly african american. here's adriana diaz. >> what do we want? >> clean water! ( chanting ) >> reporter: governor snyder's address will have to compete with this. ( chanting ) >> inside he said the state can and will do better. >> i know apologies don't make up for the mistakes that are made, nothing will, but i take full responsibility to fix the problem so it will never happen again. >> reporter: it all started back in april 2014 when flint switched from detroit water to water from the flipts river to save money. within weeks, residents began complaining about the smell, taste, and appearance. a year later, the city found slightly elevated lead levels in the water but said there was no cause for alarm. then, in september, a group of doctors found that the number of children with dangerous lead levels had doubled. lee ann walters started noticing physical and developmental delays in her kids. >> we were told by the state nurse, "it's just a few i.q. points. it's not the end of the world." >> dr. mona hanna-attica led the study on children. when you first saw the results of your study... >> right. >> reporter: what went through your mind? >> i think my jaw just dropped. how could we do this? and what was most disturbing was that it was entirely preventable. >> reporter: five days after her study was released, governor rick snyder, for the first time, said publicly, "it appears that lead levels could be higher or have increased." a week later, he called for flint to go back to detroit's water system. in december, the governor's task force blasted the state department of environmental quality, which oversees water. the task force said that complaints by flint residents were met by, "aggressive dismissal, belittlement, and attempts to discredit the individuals involved." today, the governor asked state legislators for $28.5 million to pay for water bottles, upgrades to school plumbing, and even a school psychologist to help with the developmental needs. scott, he'll outline that proposal tonight. >> pelley: adriana diaz at the state capitol. adriana, thank you. lead poisoning is especially harmful to children, and it is irreversible. dr. jon lapook has more on this. >> reporter: the parents of children in flint, michigan have good reason to be worried. >> there's real danger that the injury is going to be permanent and lifelong in them. >> reporter: dr. philip landrigan is dean of global health at mount sinai school of medicine. he's been studying the effects of lead since the '70s. >> the problem here is that no level of lead is safe. even low levels of lead, especially if exposure to low levels continues over many months, is going to cause some degree of brain damage to at least some of the children who are exposed, and that's a big deal. >> reporter: exposed children are at risk for a number of problems, including lower i.q. scores, developmental delays, and behavioral issues such as fitention deficit hyperactivity disorder. even after lead exposure stops, the effects can last for years, or even be permanent. in flint, michigan, a major challenge will be identifying which children are at risk, then tracking them for many years for evidence of injury. >> these children are going to be injured for life. they're going to need remedial education. they're going to need educational enrichment programs. they're kids who may be prevented from functioning at their full level. >> reporter: there are no known effective drugs to reverse the developmental damage caused by lead. something called "chelation therapy" can remove lead from the body, but so far it has not been helpful in treating the behavioral or neurological problems caused by lead. >> pelley: dr. jon lapook. thank you, doc. the water crisis in flint has now spilled into the presidential campaign, and nancy cordes has that. >> it's a civil rights issue. >> reporter: hillary clinton started sounding the alarm last week, sending two top aides to flint. >> we would be outraged if this happened to white kids, and we should be outraged that it's happening right now to black kids. >> reporter: her opponent, bernie sanders, called on michigan's governor to resign over the state's slow response. >> a man who acts that irresponsibly should not stay in power. >> reporter: most of the g.o.p. candidates have been reluctant to criticize a fellow republican. >> i'm sure he will manage this appropriately. >> reporter: that was ohio's john kasich. this was donald trump: >> you know, i shouldn't be commenting on flint. >> reporter: florida's marco rubio professed ignorance. >> that's not an issue that-- right now, we have been focused on. >> reporter: texas senator ted cruz broke from his republican opponents this afternoon: >> it is a failure at every level of government. it is a failure of city officials, it is a failure of the county officials. it's a failure of the state officials. >> reporter: democrats argued the muted response from most republican candidates shows they are disconnected. republicans said it's a state issue and accused democrats of milking the crisis to score political points with the african american community, scott. >> pelley: nancy cordes on the campaign. nancy, thank you. well, new hampshire will hold the first presidential primary three weeks from today, and have a look at this: in the democratic race there, sanders now leads clinton nearly two to one. the new poll, out today, has sanders at 60%, clinton at 33%. sanders is the senator next door in the state of vermont. forecasters say 50 million people in the east could be in the path of a powerful winter storm later this week. eric fisher is the chief meteorologist at our cbs station in boston, wbz. eric, how bad might this be? >> well, scott, this could be a very significant storm up and down the east coast. we're watching the energy that has just come ashore in the western united states, producing some rain and snow here. and it will travel across the country over these next few days. and by friday we'll be watching snow developing across parts of the mid-south, perhaps as far south as alabama and georgia, and then the storm starts to wind up off the mid-atlantic coast, peaking on saturday. bands of heavy snow up and down the eastern seaboard and stretching up towards southern new england, and then very slowly moving its way eastward and out to sea. but it will be a long-duration event, from friday into saturday, and sunday for the eastern corridor. now, here in blue, this is the highest impact zone when it comes to snow totals, including the philly area, down into d.c. suburbs, also into virginia. we'll get a better idea of the totals by tomorrow but it looks like isolated amounts could be over two feet. the other thing to take into consideration here, we have a full moon saturday, high tides, strong onshore winds. and so, scott, we could see coastal surge here comparable to some tropical systems, so anyone near the coast needs to watch the storm very carefully. >> pelley: we'll be watching this very closely. eric fisher, wbz. eric, thanks. the americans freed in a prisoner swap with iran have not stopped smiling. today, the "washington post" released video of reporter jason rezaian sharing laughs over an internet video. and former u.s. marine amir hekmati shared his thoughts on being freed. he had been arrested on espionage charges while visiting his family in iran. liz palmer is at the u.s. military hospital in landstuhl, germany, where the former prisoners are being treated. >> reporter: meeting reporters, amir hekmati looked relaxed and healthy. >> i hope to get home soon. i really want to see my family and be back on the land of the free. >> reporter: how are you feeling yourself physically now? >> right now, i feel great. i have so much energy. like i said, i feel alive for the first time. >> reporter: his sisters are with him here in germany. but he's anxious to see his father in the u.s. who is too ill to travel. freedom, says hekmati, still feels surreal. >> i had accepted the fact that i was going to be spending 10 years in prison, so this was a surprise. they just came one morning and said, "pack your things." >> reporter: did you believe them? >> no. absolutely not. >> reporter: but it was true. and in just hours, he was on a swiss government jet. >> as soon as we got out of iranian airspace, the champagne bottles were popped. >> reporter: hekmati, a former marine and so a high-value prisoner, spent four and a half years in iran's evin prison in conditions that were, in his words, inhumane and unjust. >> i didn't want to let my marines, fellow marines down, and the reputation of the marine corps, so i tried my best to, you know, keep my head up. >> reporter: scott, amir hekmati knew he could rely on support from within the military, but he was thrilled and also a little humbled when he discovered how many other people from across the u.s. and around the world had lobbied to help set him free. >> pelley: elizabeth palmer in germany for us tonight. thanks, liz. match fixing will not be tolerated, at the year's first grand slam tennis tournament in australia. officials made that unusual vow after an investigation was made public that said over the years, some players had thrown matches at the behest of gamblers. don dahler is following this. >> reporter: as the australian open began, talk was about a different kind of racket. eight unidentified players competing there are on the list of suspects who allegedly threw matches. that list was compiled by an investigative unit within the association of tennis professionals and leaked to the bbc, and buzzfeed. the a.t.p. acknowledges their investigation has discovered rigged matches going back years. but executive chairman chris kermode insists there has been no cover-up. >> tennis has invested over $14 million to address this issue of corruption, and it's constantly being reviewed. >> reporter: world number one, novak djokovic, says he was offered $200,000 in 2007 to throw a first-round match in russia. >> i was approached through people that were working with me at that time, that were in my team, and, of course, we-- we threw it away right away. >> reporter: djokovic made $21 million last year. tennis officials say most of the players involved earned far less. more than 70 are suspected of throwing matches. the vast majority have not and will not be disciplined, because their alleged offenses took place before an anti-corruption rule was established in 2009. since 2010, the a.t.p. has disciplined 18 people, including a lifetime ban for five players. none of the names in the report has been made public, which top- ranked players say is a mistake. >> i would love to hear names, you know, and then at least it's concrete stuff, and you can actually debate about it. >> reporter: because the a.t.p. is not a law enforcement agency, it is limited in its evidence- gathering abilities. scott, they have interviewed players and witnesses and analyzed betting and phone records to uncover the foul play. >> pelley: don dahler, thanks. the tax man has a warning about the con man; there are new cases of the mosquito-borne virus linked to birth defects; and the sun puts on a show, when the cbs evening news continues. every dollar count. making that's why i have the spark cash card from capital one. i earn unlimited 2% cash back on everything i buy for my studio. ♪ and that unlimited 2% cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business... that's huge for my bottom line. what's in your wallet?

>> as soon as they get you on the telephone, they threaten you-- if you don't pay us money, you're going to go to jail." >> reporter: tim camus is with the treasury department. he is featured in a new p.s.a. released today warning about the fraud. >> the safest thing to do so you don't get caught up in it is just hang up the telephone. >> reporter: the treasury department has received nearly 900,000 reports of i.r.s. scam calls since october of 2013. at least 5,000 victims have paid out more than $26.5 million. >> they don't care about anything other than trying to intimidate you into paying them money. >> reporter: one tip-off is the phone call itself. if you actually do owe money, the i.r.s. will contact you by mail first. jeff pegues confronted his scammer. >> i think you're a scam artist. and we're gonna track you down and have you arrested. okay? you're gonna tell somebody to go to the bank and get cash-- ( dial tone ) hello? >> reporter: but actually tracking those people down isn't so easy. many of the calls are coming from overseas. treasury was only able to tell us about one recent arrest. scott, many of the victims are asked to wire money through western union or moneygram. don't do it. >> pelley: kris van cleave, kris, thanks very much. still ahead, a few choice words about some really bad passwords. life's simple pleasures. now it's our turn. i'm doing the same for my family. retirement and life insurance solutions from pacific life can help you protect what you love and grow your future with confidence. pacific life. helping generations of families achieve long-term financial security for over 145 years. i tabut with my back paines, i couldn't sleep and get up in time. then i found aleve pm. aleve pm is the only one to combine a safe sleep aid plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. i'm back. aleve pm for a better am. wheall i can think abouthit, is getting relief. only nicorette mini has a patented fast-dissolving formula. it starts to relieve sudden cravings fast. i never know when i'll need relief. that's why i only choose nicorette mini. i use what's already inside me to reach my goals. so i liked when my doctor told me i may reach my blood sugar and a1c goals by activating what's within me. with once-weekly trulicity. trulicity is not insulin. it helps activate my body to do what it's supposed to do release its own insulin. trulicity responds when my blood sugar rises. i take it once a week, and it works 24/7. it comes in an easy-to-use pen and i may even lose a little weight. trulicity is a once-weekly injectable prescription medicine to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. it should be used along with diet and exercise. trulicity is not recommended as the first medicine to treat diabetes and should not be used by people with severe stomach or intestinal problems, or people with type i diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. trulicity is not insulin and has not been studied with long-acting insulin. do not take trulicity if you or anyone in your family has had medullary thyroid cancer or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 or if you are allergic to trulicity or its ingredients. stop using trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of an allergic reaction, such as itching, rash, or difficulty breathing; if you have signs of pancreatitis such as severe stomach pain that will not go away and may move to your back, with or without vomiting; or if you have symptoms of thyroid cancer, which may include a lump or swelling in your neck, hoarseness, trouble swallowing, or shortness of breath. medicines like trulicity may cause stomach problems, which could be severe. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and any medicines you take. taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase your risk for low blood sugar. common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, and indigestion. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney failure. with trulicity, i click to activate what's within me. if you want help improving your a1c and blood sugar numbers with a non-insulin option, ask your doctor about once-weekly trulicity. and click to activate your within. >> pelley: beginning overnight, some of our neighbors will make a rare joint appearance. if you look toward the south, mercury, venus, saturn, mars, and jupiter will line up just before dawn every night for a month. it's the first time it's happened in 11 years, and it will be visible to the naked eye. nasa sent us video of a series of eruptions on the sun, a cascade of magnetic particles shooting outward and arcing back to the surface. and, what on earth were these folks thinking?

LandstuhlRheinland-pfalzGermanyAlabamaUnited-statesAustraliaNew-hampshireTexasIranAlaskaVermontBrazil but should the video ever be released. plus this week we did get to see the damage to the brain of nfl player aaron hernandez, who committed suicide while serving a murder sentence. bob costas made headlines around the country for what he said about the future of football. and he's here. but first, president trump is again declaring that he believes vladimir putin's insistence that the russians did not meddle in the u.s. election. here's what he told reporters on air force one today. quote, he said he didn't meddle. he said he didn't meddle. i asked him again. you can only ask so many times, every time he sees me he says -- i didn't do that. and i believe i really believe that when he tells me that, he means it. well, if in fact the president is accepting putin's word, here is who he is not believing. he's not believing his own ambassador to russia, jon huntsman who said there's no question russia meddled. he's not believing his secretary of state, rex tillerson, who says that the russian election meddling created serious mistrust. he's not believing former director of national intelligence, james clapper, who said there has never been a case of election interference more aggressive. he's not believing former c.i.a. director michael hayden, who says russia's election meddling was the most successful covert operation in history. nor is he believing former c.i.a. acting director michael morell. who called the russian med toll help trump, the political equivalent of 9/11. the u.s. senate voted 98.2 to impose sanctions, a punishment, that the president himself signed. but has yet to implement. and now, the latest evidence of our partisan divide. the reaction to allegations about roy moore. the current republican nominee for u.s. senate from alabama. on thursday the "washington post" published this story. in which moore is accused of sexual abuse of then 14-year-old in 1979. lee korfman, alleges that moore, a 32-year-old assistant d.a. touched her through her bra and underwear and guided her hand to his underwear if true, this would constitute sexual assault, alabama's legal age of consent, then and now is 16. three other women interviewed by the "washington post" who at the time ranged in age from 16 to 18 say that moore pursued them and asked them out on dates. none say that moore forced them into any relationship or sexual contact. moore vehemently denies the allegations. on the left, moore is already being convicted of hypocrisy and much worse. on the right he's being defended and in some media quarters the story is largely being ignored. here's what i find missing. an evidentiary analysis of what's being reported. given the passage of time there will be no criminal or civil determination. but allow me a few observations. first the source, the "washington post," steve bannon tried to dismiss the story by reminding that it was the "post" that first broke the "access hollywood" tape. well that's true. but it overlooks that the "post" got that story right. i also note that the story carried a three-person byline. representing a commitment of resources and investigation. and the "washington post" reports that none of the four women reached out to the reporters. to the contrary, a "post" reporter heard that moore had sought relationships with teenaged girls and contacted the women who were reluctant to speak. only after multiple conversations were they convinced otherwise. the "washington post" says that korfman, the then 14-year-old was consistent in six different interviews. today, she's 53, she says that she's voted republican in the last three presidential elections. including for president donald trump. details of korfman's initial encounter with moore seem corroborated by records of her mother's court appearance the day that she says she met moore. and her mother recalls moore meeting her daughter on that day. also, that moore's office was then just down the hall, that's not disputed. and other details lend credibility to her story. like that korfman remembers being driven a half-hour to moore's home. which had an unpaved driveway. moore has written about living in a rural home 25 miles west of where they met. additionally two friends of korfman corroborated that she told them at the time she was seeing an older man and one of them said she identified moore by name. that friend also recalls being told the detail of moore's tight white underwear. yesterday in an interview with sean hannity moore said the claims are completely false and misleading. he says he does not know korfman. he questioned why she waited 40 years and until an election was four weeks away, before coming forward. he said he never knew, never met her and it never happened. that's what he said. no jury will ever hear these claims. so how is the public to decide what happened? famed criminal defense attorney mark geragos is here to offer his legal expertise. and his street smarts. mark, how are we to make sense of this? he's offered a blanket denial. she seems to have a sufficient level of detail to bring credibility to her claim. >> the idea that he's been such a polarizing and kind of lightning rod figure in alabama politics, i mean remember this is somebody who was the chief justice and then he was basically defrocked as the chief justice. he's been through several campaign, he's been somebody who's been known to the public. his point in his interview is look, why are they waiting until four weeks out of the election after 40 years to bring these kinds of complaints? the counterbalance to that obviously is that the "washington post" reporters were out there, and this is probably front and center, one of the biggest elections around the next four weeks, clearly towards the end of the year. the idea that somehow the defense is that it's the "washington post" or amazon, bezos "washington post" i think that probably something that people who are inclined to believe him, will like. because it gives a bias, if you will. that would never come in in a courtroom. an evidentiary wise that would not come in. what would come in is what you detailed. the idea that her story is consistent. that yes she had the opportunity to meet him. yes, she was there that day. yes, her mother remembers it. his house being 25 minutes away. being unpaved. that she said it took an half an hour to get there. all of those things are consistent with the story. but frankly, if it were a prosecutor looking at this case, the prosecutor would, and you didn't have any statute of limitations issues, this would be what would be called a prosecutorial reject, they would not file this case. >> what aspect of her story, as represented in the "washington post" jumped off the page if any, to mark geragos? >> the facts that i thought were probably most telling, most supportive of her story, is the reporting that was done. and if it's true that she was there that day, she was in the courthouse that day, that he would have been, his office would have been close by, the fact that she then was able to describe in detail some place that she went and the time limit roughly that it took to get there. those are the kinds of things that make, make me say this kind of thing is true. i will say one other fact. and i don't mean this to be facetious. he does look like the kind of guy who would wear tighty whiteys. and so that to me, if i am defending him, i'm going to ask that question and ask him if in fact he's somebody who back then was wearing tight white underwear. because believe it or not, those are the kinds of things that a prosecutor would say are an aha moment. >> i want to play two cuts from the interview with sean hannity. the first of them is one, mark, where he offers pretty much a blanket denial. i don't know her from anybody. roll the tape. >> i don't know miss corfman from anybody. i never talked to her, never had any contact with her. allegation of sexual misconduct with her are completely false. i believe they're politically motivated. brought out to stop a very successful campaign and that's what they're doing. i've never known this woman or anything. >> never talked to her, don't know her from anybody. if anyone can put the two of them together, it will prove that part of his statement to be false. little risky from a defense perspective, is it not? >> yes, it is. you don't want to stake out that ground. you don't know what else it could have showed. but remember, he obviously is as a lawyer, and a former chief justice of their supreme court, he understands that there's nothing that there's no harm so to speak. this isn't a situation where he's within the statute of limitations and he has to worry about those things. so at the end of the day, for him, it's a political calculation. it's not a legal calculation. and trust me, if he said he knew her, if he conceded any kind of a relationship with her whatsoever, that in this present mileau, he would be toast. the 17-year-old or the 18-year-old, that's okay. there's no problem. there isn't anything untoward if there was kissing, that certainly is something that, in that day and age, was not going to be anything that was going to be a real problem. but, he understands, i mean there is the calculus on his part, look, politically, the last thing i can say is i knew her, but i didn't fondle her or anything like that. he doesn't even want to go there. he's savvy enough to understand he has to -- the only thing he's got to say is they're lying and i'm denying. >> here's the second cut i want you to hear. critics of judge more say ah this is at odds with the blanket denial. let's see what mark geragos thinks of it. >> and you can say unequivocally you never dated anybody that was in their late teens like that when you were 32? >> it would have been out of my, out of my customary behavior, that's right. >> out of my customary behavior. how problematic if at all is that for judge moore? >> well that would be what you would call impeachment. it wouldn't be because of the way that sean framed the question was, anybody in the late teens. he can always, his default would be when asked to explain it is going to be late teens. were you asking me about 17 or 18, that's late teens. 19 is late teens. so that's not going to carry the day. at the end of the day, only at the fringes are people going to say -- or is he going to be able or anybody going to be able to change their mind. when it comes to his base core of support. none of these things, as long as he keeps denying it, are ever going, are ever going to present any kind of a problem for him. >> here's what i'm taking away from my conversation with mark geragos, peel will read into these murky facts whatever they want to. in my view the next 72 hours are going to be critical. because whether others now come forward might be the determination of his career. your final thought? >> yes. i was just going to say, what happens in these cases, where the danger lies is if there is somebody else who comes forward. that's when you get some kind of momentum. if there's somebody else who comes forward. i'm not talking about another 17-year-old or 18-year-old who went on a date with him and they made out in the back seat of a car. if somebody else comes forward and says yeah, i was 13 or 14 and he had, he was wearing tighty whiteys and we were, he was guiding my hands here, there, everywhere, then he's toast. but as long as he can say i don't know her, nothing ever happened and by the way let me pivot to the 17-year-old and 18-year-old, he'll be just fine with the group that's going it support him in the first place. >> thank you, mark geragos, i really appreciate it. >> thank you. what are your thoughts? tweet me @smerkonish or visit my facebook page. i'll read some. gayle says think it is a she said/he said and it isn't going anywhere. gail, politically speaking. i think you're probably right. unless there are further developments as i just pointed out with mark. one more? i think that if grabbing by the p didn't matter, then neither will this. they don't care, as long as they beat the dem. sam, what's so frustrating to me and what i tried to say in my opening monologue is how people don't want to engage in critical thinking. they don't want to parse the report and listen to what he said. they suit up in their partisan armor, depending upon who the players are without regard to the facts. the shooting of 26 churchgoers in texas captured on video, should that video ever see the light of day?

joining me now is tony leyal, a former chief of the texas rangers, a unit leading the investigation into the southerland springs attack. chief, in this case, this guy took himself out at the end. thank goodness there will be no trial. so why not release the video? >> you know, the duty of these rangers, police officers, fbi that are conducting this investigation is to answer all the questions, and to be able to tell the story in a way when they're through if someone asks a question, that they can answer. when you release video before that investigation is completed, then you can no longer hold the integrity of what people are telling you, what they may have seen in the video, what they really know. you know these things turn out, we're already seeing this in the las vegas investigation there was a lot of live video there, a lot of people with their phones there. a lot of people posting video. and we're already having conspiracy theories or asking why details change from one day to another. you can't investigate the scene. you can't do it all at one time so you have to go through the evidence. tie it with the video. tie it with the ballistics, with the witness testimony. and what you see there, smell there, hear there. and put the case together so that those questions can be answered. and conspiracy theories don't start. and they're able to answer reasonable questions that are presented to them. >> that makes sense, how about when the investigation is over. >> when the investigation is over, is not a police matter. when the investigation is over, whether that video is released, is a social matter. and it is up to not for the police to make that decision. and i don't even think it should be for the government to make that decision. i think that is the type of the decision we need to make as a society. i can tell you that i have seen these tapes. not these particular tapes, but tapes of individuals in the last minutes of their life. i have seen that occur in real life. and no one that doesn't need to see that will be better off after seeing it. their lives will not be better. it is a, a gruesome thing. and death is a very personal thing. i think what people should ask themselves. i'm not for, not releasing the tape after the investigation is complete. or for releasing the tape after the investigation is complete. i think what people need to ask themselves, if this was me, if this was my baby, if this was my father, my mother, my sister, my brother, my wife, my husband, would i want strangers to see that intimate moment when something like that happens to everybody? you know it's one thing we all have in common. we will all die. do we want that broadcast? >> yeah, i worry as well about giving the next assassin some motivation. because now he knows that even though he may check out, the video will live on. soy think, i think you're right. thank you, chief, i appreciate very much your being here? >> yes, sir, thank you. >> let's see what you're all saying on my smerkonish twitter and facebook feeds. we've got twice as many characters on twitter right now. my producer, tc, who is the first line of defense on twitter, is being overworked today. julia, from facebook in my opinion show the video to lawmakers, but keep it -- wow this is interesting, julia. but keep it safe from public eyes. could influence copycats or induce and trigger trauma. i like your compromise. that maybe in a closed session of congress, that video is available for whoever wants to see it. but never publicly disseminated. if we could keep it under such wraps, you might have the answer there. katherine, can we do another one? no time. all right. more later, though. up ahead, newly released pictures of aaron hernandez' brain injuries reinforce the fact that the nfl's concussion crisis could permanently cripple the entire sport. i will talk to sportscasting legend, bob costas, next. ♪ at lincoln financial, we get there are some responsibilities of love you gotta do on your own. and some you shouldn't have to shoulder alone. like ensuring your family is protected, today and tomorrow, no matter what the future brings. see how life insurance from lincoln can help start protecting your family's financial future now, at lincolnfinancial.com. our recent online sales success seems a little... strange?nk na. ever since we switched to fedex ground business has been great. they're affordable and fast... maybe "too affordable and fast." what if...

>> yeah, you know it used to be -- this is not a matter of being more or less candid. i stand by anything i say publicly. but it used to be understood. you don't have to explain this. that you have a conversation among a half-dozen people at dinner. even if the content is the same, you might express yourself differently. you might express yourself differently in front of 18 people in a class as opposed to 400 people at a symposium. or as opposed to speaking to you now. or as opposed to speaking at halftime of an nfl game. it isn't that i would say anything different. but depending upon how much time you have, you might craft it differently. you might choose different words. so i stand by what i said. but what i said in totality, because i wasn't directing it to your audience or to the sunday night football audience. i was directing it to 400 young journalists at the university of maryland. where i said in totality, it's something different than what some people took from little fragments of it. but again, i give tom shad and "u.s.a. today" full credit. because what they wrote provided context and better yet, they provided the link to the whole thing. so if someone was actually interested enough to really know what was said, all they got to do is click on and spend a couple of hours watching it. and they may have something better to do than that, but go ahead. >> to someone who would say bob costas, you're only finding your voice on this now, the tape and i only showed a snippet of it for time purposes, i think it was four, five minutes long. but the tape says otherwise, for quite some time you've been willing to speak out on this issue. >> you know what happens? and it's not unique to me or to you. it happens all the time now. rather than deal with the merits of the argument, the easiest thing to do is to try to discredit the person who said something you don't want to hear. and try and ascribe to them some sort of unworthy motivation. so i did hear oh, now that costas is no longer hosting "sunday night football" now he says these things. well that's 180 degrees from the truth. i i've been saying these things for the better part of a decade. and often on nbc. in front of the biggest audience, not just in all of sports, but in all of television, sunday night football. and i think nbc sports deserves credit for this. because very often network television as opposed to print journalism, network television, because they're in partnerships with the leagues, can be a little skittish about addressing some of these issues. but nbc over time has allowed me to address significant issues. whether at the olympics, or whether with football. or even this year, i was no longer on the program, but when the issue came up about players kneeling during the national anthem, i thought with dan patrick and rodney harrison and tony dungy, that nbc sports did a very solid journalistic job of covering that story. now sports on tv is not "meet the press," it's not "nightline." but you do have to acknowledge the elephants in the room and you do have to acknowledge that there are some significant issues that are more important than who the seahawks are going to draft in the fourth round. and it's just the responsible thing to do to address those issues. and generally speaking nbc at least occasionally, has provided me an opportunity to do that. and i've never been shy about doing it, even when i was hosting nfl football. >> right, which is why the concussion legacy foundation honored you this week. one final question, and then i hope you'll stick around for a tweet or two. so nbc was accommodating to bob costas, that's good to hear. how about the nfl? did you ever get any blow-back for your outspokenness on this issue from the league? >> no. i never have. i like roger goodell personally. obviously he's on the receiving end of some criticism these days. it comes with the territory. i'm hopeful that this year nbc has the super bowl. and as it turns out, i'm hosting the super bowl this year because mike tirico, who succeeded me in that role, and has succeeded me and i'm sure will did a very good job as the host of the olympics. he's got to be in cree yarks because the games stant only four days after the super bowl. i'm hoping in front of an audience that large that roger goodell will sit for an extended interview. it will not be a softball interview, but it will be fair. it will be pointed, but fair and comprehensive. i would rather put the questions that the public is interested in, to commissioner goodell. i hope that happens. >> me, too. i want to watch it and i want you back here talking about it hey, bob, they expanded twitter to 280 characters. >> oh wow. that should give us plenty of context. >> let's see what's come in put it up there quickly for mr. costas. if the brain damage is proven to come from nfl football, could nfl be held liable for these players' crimes or suicides? i don't know if mr. costas wants a piece of that, but i welcome you to it, if you do. >> i'm not a lawyer and i don't play one on tv. my thought is, unlikely. it's obvious the nfl has now acknowledged finally that there is a danger of brain damage. of cte. connected with the game. and i wouldn't be at all surprised, i haven't seen the fine print that exists now. but i wouldn't be at all surprised if in future agreements with the players association, there isn't a specific stipulation of willing assumption of risk. >> bob costas, always a privilege. thank you so much for being here. >> bye, michael, thank you. still to come, doctors say yes to medicinal marijuana for pain. chris christie and the white house commission say no. and it shouldn't be used to combat the opioid epidemic. was that the right call? more of your tweets and facebook comments. when i look in the mirror everyday. when i look in the mirror everyday. everyday, i think how fortunate i am. i think is today going to be the day, that we find a cure? i think how much i can do to help change people's lives. i may not benefit from those breakthroughs, but i'm sure going to... i'm bringing forward a treatment for alzheimer's disease, yes, in my lifetime, i will make sure. the markets change... at t. rowe price... our disciplined approach remains. global markets may be uncertain... but you can feel confident in our investment experience around the world. call us or your advisor... t. rowe price. invest with confidence. pcountries thatk mewe traveled,t what is your nationality and i would always answer hispanic. so when i got my ancestry dna results it was a shocker. i'm everything. i'm from all nations. i would look at forms now and wonder what do i mark? because i'm everything. and i marked other. discover the story only your dna can tell. order your kit now at ancestrydna.com. trying to fix the opioid crisis, chris cystsie's white house commission on combatting drug addiction has called for wide changes to drug policies. the commission specifically declined to endorse the use of marijuana for pain. despite some studies suggesting access could decrease opioid deaths. christie said there was a lack of quote sophisticated outcome data on dose, potency and abuse potential for marijuana. but the nation's only academic resource for marijuana research, education and practice disagreed. saying that patients who were treated with cannabis were more likely to experience a significant reduction in pain symptoms. so who's right? joining me now, dr. yasmine herd, the director of the addiction institute at mount sinai behavioral health system and professor of psychiatry and neuro science at mount sinai's school of medicine she wrote this recent article in "fortune," under the headline there's a better way to fight the opepioid crisis. why aren't we focusing on it. dr. herd, can pot be a solution to our epidemic? >> it's not pot that's the solution, it's medical cannabanoids. so the lines have become blurred. in recreational marijuana that people have legalized medical marijuana. and when we say medical marijuana, a lot of people, including perhaps governor christie and the president, thinks that it's the marijuana on the street. it's not. these are cannabanoids that are being tested for research and clinical studies that have for example no intoxicating effects. the marijuana plant has over 100 cannabanoids, it's not just thc, the one that produces the high. it's other compounds that being studied in regard to potential beneficial effects, for pain, for treating the opioid addiction itself a and other symptoms. >> said we lack sufficient outcome data. is he right in that regard? >> absolutely. i completely agree. and that's the whole issue. an epidemic, we need more information. we need everybody at the table. we need much more dedication and resources to coming up with alternative strategies. and for that, you need data. there's currently not enough data. but there are some anecdotal evidence out there. and anecdotal is not proof. so we need causal studies to be done. and so yes, there's not enough information to completely give 100% you know, results to say this is exactly what the specific cannabanoid can treat this specific pain or symptom. but that's why we need much more research. and the support by the president and the governor to conduct those kinds of studies. >> dr. herd, governor christie said something else about cannabis users on television. i want to you watch it and then react. play the tape. >> the national institutes of health no partisan organization just came out with a report that said you're two and a half times more likely to be an opioid addict if you smoke marijuana. >> is he blurring the line between recreational and medicinal use? >> again, yes. absolutely. even our studies, if you take an animals and give them thc, they show greater sensitivity to opioids, in terms of their reward sensitivity. but if you give them cbd, the cannabanid used for treating kids with epilepsy. they show a reduction in their opioid intake and that's the cannabinoid brought to clinical trial to show that in human heroin users, this chemical compound does lessen that. it is a blurring of the lines and stop talking about marijuana, and say medical cannabanoids. this is not the marijuana on the street. the marijuana on the street has today app a concentration even 20%. people are making cannabanoid formulations for recreational use that go up to 80% thc, that's not the compounds being used in the clinic. that's the thing that i think that both the person on the street needs to know. and the government needs to know. we are talking about developing specific cannabanoid for pharmaceutical intervention. it's no different from any other medicines that are being developed. you have to know the dosing. you have to know the formulations. that may be best for treating that particular symptom. and without the research, we will not move further. and there are a lot of regulations that unfortunately prevent research being done. >> dr. yasmine herd, we really appreciate your expertise on an important subject. thank you. >> thank you. still to come, your best and worst tweets and facebook comments like this one -- marijuana being illegal in the land of the free, is/would be like wine being illegal in the land of the free. so many proven benefits. national media, the times are a-changing, what we up to, 29 states plus d.c.? give it a bit more time. back in a moment. an my next vacation. japan, how's dinner? this is delicious. i'm sorry. three times points on travel and restaurants. sapphire reserve, from chase. make more of what's yours. america's small business owners. and here's to the heroes behind the heroes, who use their expertise to keep those businesses covered. and here's to the heroes behind the heroes behind the heroes, who brought us delicious gyros. actually, the gyro hero owns vero's gyros, so he should have been with those first heroes. ha ha! that's better. so, to recap -- small business owners are heroes, and our heroes help heroes be heroes when they're not eating gyros delivered by -- ah, you know what i mean. fothere's a seriousy boomers virus out there that's been almost forgotten. it's hepatitis c. one in 30 boomers has hep c, yet most don't even know it. because it can hide in your body for years without symptoms, and it's not tested for in routine blood work. the cdc recommends all baby boomers get tested. if you have hep c, it can be cured. for us it's time to get tested. ask your healthcare provider for the simple blood test. it's the only way to know for sure. amanda's mom's appointment hello mom. just got rescheduled - for today. amanda needs right at home. our customized care plans provide as much - or as little help - as her mom requires. whether it's a ride to the doctor or help around the house. oh, of course! tom, i am really sorry. i've gotta go. look, call right at home. get the right care. right at home. remember you get to participate in this program by sounding off via facebook and twitter and i react in real time without seeing them in advance. what do we have,y ied to influence the election just as we tried to influence politics in other countries all over the globe. chip, i talked about this. went through those incidents able to be documented where we had. meddle d in other outcomes, but it wasn't in democratically collected nations. it was trying to influence leadership change in nations that were being ruled by dictators, but your point is well taken. what's next? we're in real trouble when u.s. believes a russian president over his own u.s. intelligence. george, you know what i was thinking? the senate voted 98-2 to impose sanctions on the russians because of the meddling. and who signed it? president trump. hasn't been implemented yet, but he signed it so was he telling us what he thought then or now? next. smerconish, the moore story was well sourced and details are all we need. shame on any adult, republican or otherwise, so dismiss this as false and misleading. susan berger. hello. i would say this, shame on anybody who doesn't take the m time to at least read "the washington post" story and lend some critical think iing to it, but instead ways in and says well, it comes from "the washington post," it can't be true. really? why? because they're the ones who brought us the access hollywood tape. that was the true story. there's no logic or critical think ng any of this. it's like noise and 20 second sound bites. one more if i have time. football will be done with in 25 years or less. mothers won't let their children play anymore and the love for the game will be over. i have long said for a long time, bob to tas has been sounding the alarm on head injuries. i have been saying suburban moms in the end will determine the fate of football. see you next week. why did you take credit card debt on? second kid. private school. medical bills. moving costs. solid ground. a personal loan from sofi is a smart way to consolidate credit card debt. certain borrowers cut their credit card interest rates 42% and increased credit scores 17 points on average. borrow up to $100,000 with low rates and no hidden fees. find your rate in just two minutes, and take on your debt at sofi.com. you are live in the cnn newsroom. the president like to say america first. unless it's about putin's denials of election meddling. that's cool n. a series of astonishing statements today, the president seemed to take the russian leader's side over that of u.s. intelligence. not sure if you need the word seem there. every time putin sees me, he says i didn't do that and i believe, i really believe, when he tells me that, he means it. he means it. you know who else means it?
