eight-year relationship with audrey's mother sheila potts. he claims photos of her in his home and with his family prove he was the father to her until sheila potts broke it off when audrey was 6, admitting that she was married to another man the whole time. today a superior court judge ruled he cannot join a wrongful death lawsuit filed by audrey's legal parents. the judge said because he is not a legal heir and paternity was established years ago. they filed the wrongful death lawsuit against the three boys who admitted to sexually assaulting audrey at a party and showing photos of her graffitied body at school because they say that drove her to take her own live. the family attorney said his attempt to join that suit is a money grab. he says he just wants the legal right to know what happened to his daughter leading up to her suicide which he found out about on facebook. >> nobody should capitalize on that. tep circumstances that led up to her death. let's expose them, right? let's tell the truth because i know the truth. >> he says no one disputes that he is audrey's biological father but that when he sued for paternity in 2003 the presiding judge, karr, ruled against him because the statute of limitations had passed. at the same hearing the judge admonished audrey's mother saying, quote, i would be remiss if i didn't look you in the eye and tell you what a mess i think you've made for many people. in this court's view lessons is nothing in terms of the kind of consequences your behavior has brought on your daughter. lazarin expects to become a witness in the civil suit and says he won't only give answers but get some, too, including audrey's final resting place. >> my whole reasoning was to find the facts and what happened to my daughter. the very essence of finding out where my child is buried. >> reporter: a trial date for the civil case could be set in july. kris sanchez, nbc bay area news. the bay bridge closed to a crawl because of the a truck

further saying they may introduce local ordinances the state fails to act. >> you really need to happen at a national level. having different rules for different states for devices that sell internationally can be a nightmare for manufacturers. >> for me it's no different than a car. if somebody is driving off in my car and i'm able to stop it, then i'm all for that. >> the industry did

under the new rules some of the cops could still be on the clock tonight. staffing levels dropped that day. here's part of the problem. a patrol officer took this picture a couple of months ago just before the swing shift briefing. it was sparsely attended. >> we have certain mandatory minimum staffing levels in the department that we need to adhere to. >> reporter: chief eddie garcia says his office is forced to audit sick calls to see if there's abuse by officers. the police union says officers are calling in sick because they're fatigued after working long hours to cover shifts. officers working 17-hour days, fatigued and over worked, is dangerous for the officers and the public. >> reporter: and to cover those days when briefings look like this, the department is now also forcing officers to work overtime. >> we'll take volunteers first, obviously, and via reverse seniority that we're working out, we'll hold over that amount of officers that we need to ensure that we have that minimum mandatory staffing levels on patrol. >> reporter: garcia says there have been days when they pull out without meeting the minimum mandatory staffing levels so the department has to act. >> we need to ensure that we continue to provide public safety and we need to ensure that our officers are safe. that's paramount for us. >> reporter: the police union argues no one wants a tired police officer responding to their emergency calls. like these officers who arrested two burglary suspects today after a foot chase. chief garcia told me he is optimistic now because both sides are talking. that's the city and the police union, to try and reach that labor agreement. but he says at some point some action needed to be taken. that day was today. we're live in san jose, i'm damian truillo.

breaking news we've been following since the 5:00 newscast in the san jose foothills east of the 680/280 interchange. chopper overhead. the thick black smoke that we saw for so long is now turned into white smoke. that's a good sign. however, two homes have been destroyed. this fire is under control but it's still an active scene as you can see below. fire crews on the ground and in the air. nbc's peggy bunker has been on the scene for us. peggy, what's the latest? >> we have been watching this transition, raj, and firefighters have done a miraculous job. two homes are completely leveled as fire jumped from one house to the next and started to crawl up the hillside. firefighters overhead, cal fire dropping water from the helicopter did a terrific job. let's show you what it looks like right now. part of the problem is the fire started in the valley here. you can see the white smoke as you mentioned, a good sign sm showing the flames are less active getting to the tail end of the fire looking for the hot spots. however, after it started in this house, the flames jumped to a barbecue that was outside the homes exploding of propane tank. that was not the source of the fire. rather, a secondary sent thereafter the flames leaped then to a second house. then you look at this hillside here in this very populated neighborhood. you see the flames climbed up the side of the house and that's where the firefighters were actively battling back hot spots that exploded. we saw a couple spots go up right in front of these firefighters that they were trying to do some structure protection. mostly for the house so it's on top of a hill. so once again, we saw the cal fire helicopter come in and do miraculous work as well dropping water around the firefighters as they got it under control. we did talk to a couple of neighbors here. they say fire protection and really looking out for this dry brush that we're all dealing with in this drought is part of living here and this part of east san jose. it's always something on their mind. the neighbors that came out said they're very concerned about the homes. they really work hard to help happen to their particular home. they do a lot of fire prevention. nobody home at the time. no injuries to report. so that's the good news here. but once again, the two homes are a total loss. raj? >> peggy bunker live on the scene at the

star attraction. witnesses say the archbishop led the march in the capitol to the steps of the supreme court and he was first speaker. >> the truth is that every child comes from a mother and a father

heavily catholic north beach neighborhood he told me the archbishop has a right to say what he believes. >> i think what's most important a at the end of the speech that he says as catholics we do not hate others. >> reporter: but former catholic ken williams feels it's time for a new church leader in the city. >> maybe when the pope hears what he's doing he might silence him, which i think would be a good idea. >> reporter: many told me they believe the archbishop is acting contrary to the beliefs of pope francis but today the archbishop thanked the pope's adversaries to the united states for attending the rally with this comment seemingly aimed at his critics. >> being pope francis' representative to our country t. his presence here signifies the the support of pope francis for what we're doing here today. >> reporter: the pope's to the united states, archbishop begano was not put in that post by pope francis. he was appointed by the much more conservative pope benedict. it will be

we've got 78 and also plenty of blue sky. and right now in the south bay, 70. we still have our fire concern up there with that fire earlier in the afternoon in the east san jose foothills. winds right now look to remain anywhere from 10 to 15 miles per hour throughout this evening. the good news, in the fire danger aspect of everything, it's, yes, we have the fog at the coastline. it's very wide spread. that will import some humidity across the bay area tonight helping to take down a little bit of that fire threat as we head throughout the next couple of hours. just a little bit of wind with our drought situation. and it doesn't take much. so, let's get a look at the forecast as we head throughout friday. the weekend is almost here. and throughout a lot of this week we have had plenty of 90s. we had them again today. a few isolated spots. what's going to happen again is we head throughout friday's forecast is that onshore flow and the doing continues to remain. 50s and 60s near the coast. that should knock down a lot of our temperatures into the 80-degree category. let's get a look at the microclimate forecast as we head throughout thursday. san jose has got some excellent weather. humidity is lower. fire concern with us. but it is not going to be 100 degrees. 84 for that forecasted high. 86 expected in saratoga. super tin no in the 70s. for the peninsula, 72

end of next season no matter what so the wolves will try to trade him. the problem is warriors don't want to trade clay thompson but it seems the wolves are insisting upon that and now it's part of the discussion. previously clay thompson was not part of the discussion. one of the reasons why he is now is that the warriors are possibly intrigued by minnesota's dangling of their first pick this year 13th overall. if they make that move clay thompson is part of the discussion. they wanted to get kevin love, without moving clay thompson but it does not appear that's going to be possible because the timberwolves seem to be insisting on clay thompson being part of the deal. >> on to baseball, big series in oakland where the as have dominated the red sox at the coliseum to the tune of

what were the possibilities? >> first of all, i don't know how it works at your house, but i can't fix a circuit breaker at my house so when it got dark there, i immediately being a trained reporter said this is not a good thing. only a sick and twisted person would think it had something to do with the halftime show. as a sports writer, you're wondering is this going to change the game. it looked like in all ways jacoby jones had turned off the lights on the super bowl and if somebody told you here's what's going to happen in the next hour and a half, the 49ers will come back and have a ball in the air at the end to win the game you would have laughed. that's what happened. >> the score is 28-6 ravens at that point. clearly something changed during the 34 minutes. what do you think the real impact was on the players as they stood there and waited for the lights to come back on? >> going into the super bowl you hear two week layoff will affect one team or the other. you knew there might be a momentum shift. you didn't know it. it looked like it was going to be one of the blowout super bowls out of the past and instead it turned into one that becomes memorable in about 9,000 ways. they kind of started the resumption of mardi gras early in new orleans last night. >> for all the planning, all the preparation that goes into the super bowls, all the rehearsal, not just in new orleans but any city, the question a lot of people were asking last night and this morning is, how could that have happened?

>> kunta. kunta kinte. >> kunta kinte was played by lee var burton and kunt's daughter, kizzy played by leslie uggams and the slave that became kunta's confidante, fidler, played by louis gosset jr. it had to be, you know, pretty amazing in itself. did you have any idea how enduring and what a reaction this show would have? >> none whatsoever. >> not at all. >> we were in our bedrooms and kitchens talking about it. we didn't know if the world would accept it this way. >> we knew it was something special when we were filming it, but we had no idea what the impact was going to be. it was amazing. america stopped what they were doing to watch this television show. >> and it also had people, not just african-americans, but everybody all of a sudden looking at their roots. >> people forget that the title of alex's book is called "roots: the saga of an american family." it's not the story of black people in america. "roots" is the american story. >> when you were cast in this, did you have any idea that this -- people throw around the phrase role of a lifetime. >> right. >> but this truly was. >> it was. >> did you have any idea at the time? >> not a clue. i was 19 and didn't know a whole lot about anything. it's true. >> doing scenes with a young man like that because fiddler and kunta kinte had a kinship. so i saw levar being whipped. it really got to me. >> it was one of those roles that you became so identified with. what was that feeling like, to know that you had something that was never done before really? >> it's a miracle, you know. this is my 60th professional year. i've seen a tumultuous change. my relationship with kunta kinte and levar, apologized before he did the scene. i'm sorry, i have to go for it. i said go for it. i looked at that boy being beaten. i knew it was just felt and just makeup. your name is kunta kinte. that's what your name is. and i looked at him and said, you know, there's going to be a better day. that's what alex was talking b of course, there is a better day. look at you, look at us, look at our president. it is a better day. >> beside being an amazing role, it had to be, i assume, emotionally draining day in and day out to act these scene. >> it was very painful, especially the wagon scene. >> yes. >> i realized, my goodness, people were torn away from their families and sold and never to see their relations again. and just to have that happen. and you're totally helpless. there's nothing you can do, nothing your parents can do. and it was just gut wrenching for me. >> levar, you have gone on to obviously some other amazing roles, but when you have something like that so early, does it put maybe some undue pressure on you, that you have to try to match something of this import? >> there was a real challenge to me at the beginning of my career. and my decision was that i had no choice but to just do the best i could every time out because you just -- roles like that don't come along but once in every other lifetime. and so i'm just really grateful that 35 years later, i'm -- we're still here. >> we're still here. >> and working. >> that's the best part. >> that's the best part. and working. >> levar burton, leslie uggams, louis gosset jr., thank you very much. >> airing tomorrow night on pbs. head coach john harbaugh, next. but first this is "today" on nbc. back now at 8:45. he is on top of the football world this morning. john harbaugh, head coach of the super bowl winning baltimore ravens is with us from baltimore this morning. coach, congratulations. >> thank you very much. it's great to be with you guys. >> a lot of people would start an interview asking about the game. i'm not going to do that. i'm going to ask about the power outage. what was going through your mind at that moment? >> just stunned. i looked up and i said i think the lights went out. it was really a great observation there. it was just crazy. we haven't seen that one before. that was new. >> coach, did that change the dynamic of this game? you were up 28-6. lights go out. all of a sudden it looks like the 49ers get second life there. >> it did change the whole complexion. they did a great job. they changed momentum. it wasn't the lights, power o outage, it was the 49ers. not unexpected. going against my brother all these years, you had a sense that they would come roaring back. his team has so much of his personality. they came roaring back. i'm proud of jim and very impressed with that team. >> of course, this was all in the family. every game must have a winner and a loser. in this case, you mentioned, it is your own brother. did you have a chance to speak to him? and what did you say? >> we just spoke on the field right after the game. we haven't spoken since then. i talked to my parents and stuff. he's a great coach, great man. i'm so proud of him. and, you know, we'll move on and there will be lots of challenges in the future and they'll be back, for sure. >> is this going to be one of those things where you can joke about it, trash talk over the holidays or maybe not for a few years? >> i don't think that will ever be the case. anybody who has a brother, you have brothers, you understand how that works. there's no consolation. you just move on to the next thing, next competition or whatever. but really more the family. i love him. we have a great family. we all get along, have a lot of fun. there will be more games. i'm just so proud of him. i think he's the best coach in football. what he has accomplished there in the last two years with the san francisco 49ers, what their team has accomplished with their coaches is unparalleled. >> none of us will ever know what you're feeling today, having defeated your brother in the super bowl. we may never see it again in another super bowl. any mixed emotions? of course you're on top of the world winning the game but about beating your brother? >> completely mixed emotions. walking across the field, i was in his shoes and if it had gone the other way, i know he would have been, too. great to see for our fans, players, coaches. everybody did such a great job. it is a great thing, great accomplishment. at the same time when you're talking about your brother, your blood, your family, you're going to feel that, too. >> coach, savannah has been in the film room all morning, breaking down the game tape. she wanted me to ask you if you were surprised that your brother did not run kaepernick on any of those final four downs given what he had been able to do there in the second half. are you surprised they threw the ball and didn't use his legs? >> not at all. that's what they had to do. we set up the defense so that would be impossible. we were bringing everybody pretty much on every one of the snaps from second down on. there was really nowhere for him to run. the play calls were perfect. they did a good job of executing them. give our guys credit on defense. they did a great job playing defense, great job of execute i ing. the job he did, calling the game all throughout the game but especially there at the end. they did what they had to do. colin made the right choices to throw the ball given the defense he was presented with. >> congratulations to you not just on winning, but great story. hope you get some sleep now and enjoy the day. >> thanks a lot. we were watching your show this morning in the room. you guys do a great job. we love your show. >> thanks, coach. >> thanks, coach. congratulations. >> now that he likes us, i think our day -- our day's not getting better after that. >> you're happy with the kaepernick answer?

>> a brilliant advertiser kind of, what i call, co-op an emf i emfamic esos. all that's great about farmers goes into this truck. we sometimes can take farmers for granted. it was beautiful, well done, contrasting the opposite of what jeep did with veterans, which i felt was exploiting. i felt take ownership of all that's great of servicemen and said, hey, here's our jeep. >> i didn't mind that so much. i got a little emotional watching it. >> there was some emotion but then to say, okay, we're selling jeeps with this? i don't know. >> in some way the farm er ad struck me a little bit that way, too, commercializing the farmer with the jeep. i was kind of like -- although you didn't -- not the jeep, the dodge ram truck. although you didn't see it as much throughout. >> which ad did you guys think sucked? >> i think a lot of them. >> come on. we don't want to lose advertisers here, but which ones are you scratching your heads at? >> you know, i think the go daddy thing. >> go daddy. >> but that's a perfect example of, it's interesting. ad that is you like versus effective. we were very deliberate. obviously a lot of people are rewatching our ad. you have a lot of kids watching it. >> if your kids there's a message that, in a strange way, the nerd can win. >> i love that. >> nice going. jeep, you're a little uncomfortable with but, you know, bar refaeli and this kid sucking face, you're like -- well, son -- the chia commercial, i thought that was terrific. >> that was cute. >> hyundai, that was cute. >> mercedes devil ad? >> i liked it. >> worpd what they pay for sympathy for the devil. had to be 3 million to 5 million. >> is that a popular group? >> advertisers have at their fingertips, the music, celebrities. i think contrasting also celebrities, i thought the spot with seth rogan was great, making fun of celebrityies. versus amy poehler, who i love, showed up in best buy. it was just a celebrity endorsement. when you can have fun with yourselves is when it works. >> clydesdale we all loved, though. >> great ad. half time, beyonce turned the lights out. >> literally. >> reunited with destiny's child after six years, came out and absolutely killed it. >> overwhelmed by the performance. >> beyonce is amazing. i thought -- you know, that is theiterally in the world. when destiny's child came out i leaned in further and showed me maybe there wasn't the same level as the stones or some other people. she was great but somehow she didn't seem to be holding as muc much. >> i think she totally speaks to a younger generation, absolutely. in the past, super bowl has gone for the older crowd. >> this is an '80s panel. >> exactly. >> did you notice it when destiny's child came up, the whole thing went up, whole energy went up. it's suggestive of me -- >> no. that doesn't mean there's no energy to start with. >> what do i know?

>> i liked it. >> worpd what they pay for sympathy for the devil. had to be 3 million to 5 million. >> is that a popular group? >> advertisers have at their fingertips, the music, celebrities. i think contrasting also celebrities, i thought the spot with seth rogan was great, making fun of celebrityies. versus amy poehler, who i love, showed up in best buy. it was just a celebrity endorsement. when you can have fun with yourselves is when it works. >> clydesdale we all loved, though. >> great ad. half time, beyonce turned the lights out. >> literally. >> reunited with destiny's child after six years, came out and absolutely killed it. >> overwhelmed by the performance. >> beyonce is amazing. i thought -- you know, that is theiterally in the world. when destiny's child came out i leaned in further and showed me maybe there wasn't the same level as the stones or some other people. she was great but somehow she didn't seem to be holding as muc much. >> i think she totally speaks to a younger generation, absolutely. in the past, super bowl has gone for the older crowd. >> this is an '80s panel. >> exactly. >> did you notice it when destiny's child came up, the whole thing went up, whole energy went up. it's suggestive of me -- >> no. that doesn't mean there's no energy to start with. >> what do i know?

>> kunta. kunta kinte. >> kunta kinte was played by lee var burton and kunt's daughter, kizzy played by leslie uggams and the slave that became kunta's confidante, fidler, played by louis gosset jr. it had to be, you know, pretty amazing in itself. did you have any idea how enduring and what a reaction this show would have? >> none whatsoever. >> not at all. >> we were in our bedrooms and kitchens talking about it. we didn't know if the world would accept it this way. >> we knew it was something special when we were filming it, but we had no idea what the impact was going to be. it was amazing. america stopped what they were doing to watch this television show. >> and it also had people, not just african-americans, but everybody all of a sudden looking at their roots. >> people forget that the title of alex's book is called "roots: the saga of an american family." it's not the story of black people in america. "roots" is the american story. >> when you were cast in this, did you have any idea that this -- people throw around the phrase role of a lifetime. >> right. >> but this truly was. >> it was. >> did you have any idea at the time? >> not a clue. i was 19 and didn't know a whole lot about anything. it's true. >> doing scenes with a young man like that because fiddler and kunta kinte had a kinship. so i saw levar being whipped. it really got to me. >> it was one of those roles that you became so identified with. what was that feeling like, to know that you had something that was never done before really? >> it's a miracle, you know. this is my 60th professional year. i've seen a tumultuous change. my relationship with kunta kinte and levar, apologized before he did the scene. i'm sorry, i have to go for it. i said go for it. i looked at that boy being beaten. i knew it was just felt and just makeup. your name is kunta kinte. that's what your name is. and i looked at him and said, you know, there's going to be a better day. that's what alex was talking b of course, there is a better day. look at you, look at us, look at our president. it is a better day. >> beside being an amazing role, it had to be, i assume, emotionally draining day in and day out to act these scene. >> it was very painful, especially the wagon scene. >> yes. >> i realized, my goodness, people were torn away from their families and sold and never to see their relations again. and just to have that happen. and you're totally helpless. there's nothing you can do, nothing your parents can do. and it was just gut wrenching for me. >> levar, you have gone on to obviously some other amazing roles, but when you have something like that so early, does it put maybe some undue pressure on you, that you have to try to match something of this import? >> there was a real challenge to me at the beginning of my career. and my decision was that i had no choice but to just do the best i could every time out because you just -- roles like that don't come along but once in every other lifetime. and so i'm just really grateful that 35 years later, i'm -- we're still here. >> we're still here. >> and working. >> that's the best part. >> that's the best part. and working. >> levar burton, leslie uggams, louis gosset jr., thank you very much. >> airing tomorrow night on pbs. head coach john harbaugh, next. but first this is "today" on nbc. back now at 8:45. he is on top of the football world this morning. john harbaugh, head coach of the super bowl winning baltimore ravens is with us from baltimore this morning. coach, congratulations. >> thank you very much. it's great to be with you guys. >> a lot of people would start an interview asking about the game. i'm not going to do that. i'm going to ask about the power outage. what was going through your mind at that moment? >> just stunned. i looked up and i said i think the lights went out. it was really a great observation there. it was just crazy. we haven't seen that one before. that was new. >> coach, did that change the dynamic of this game? you were up 28-6. lights go out. all of a sudden it looks like the 49ers get second life there. >> it did change the whole complexion. they did a great job. they changed momentum. it wasn't the lights, power o outage, it was the 49ers. not unexpected. going against my brother all these years, you had a sense that they would come roaring back. his team has so much of his personality. they came roaring back. i'm proud of jim and very impressed with that team. >> of course, this was all in the family. every game must have a winner and a loser. in this case, you mentioned, it is your own brother. did you have a chance to speak to him?

>> i don't think that will ever be the case. anybody who has a brother, you have brothers, you understand how that works. there's no consolation. you just move on to the next thing, next competition or whatever. but really more the family. i love him. we have a great family. we all get along, have a lot of fun. there will be more games. i'm just so proud of him. i think he's the best coach in football. what he has accomplished there in the last two years with the san francisco 49ers, what their team has accomplished with their coaches is unparalleled. >> none of us will ever know what you're feeling today, having defeated your brother in the super bowl. we may never see it again in another super bowl. any mixed emotions? of course you're on top of the world winning the game but about beating your brother? >> completely mixed emotions. walking across the field, i was in his shoes and if it had gone the other way, i know he would have been, too. great to see for our fans, players, coaches. everybody did such a great job. it is a great thing, great accomplishment. at the same time when you're talking about your brother, your blood, your family, you're going to feel that, too. >> coach, savannah has been in the film room all morning, breaking down the game tape. she wanted me to ask you if you were surprised that your brother did not run kaepernick on any of those final four downs given what he had been able to do there in the second half. are you surprised they threw the ball and didn't use his legs? >> not at all. that's what they had to do. we set up the defense so that would be impossible. we were bringing everybody pretty much on every one of the snaps from second down on. there was really nowhere for him to run. the play calls were perfect. they did a good job of executing them. give our guys credit on defense. they did a great job playing defense, great job of execute i ing. the job he did, calling the game all throughout the game but especially there at the end. they did what they had to do. colin made the right choices to throw the ball given the defense he was presented with. >> congratulations to you not just on winning, but great story. hope you get some sleep now and enjoy the day. >> thanks a lot. we were watching your show this morning in the room. you guys do a great job. we love your show. >> thanks, coach. >> thanks, coach. congratulations. >> now that he likes us, i think our day -- our day's not getting better after that. >> you're happy with the kaepernick answer?

>> i think it was an okay night for the ads. when you look at the success of the clydesdale ad, we're going back to human stories. let's have people finish spots on the air and -- >> nostalgia. >> yeah. really, people want back to basics and great human story. >> we'll dig in to some of those ads in a few moments. take one, most memorable moment, jennifer hudson, we just talked to her here in the studio, and the sandy hook choir from the elementary school in newtown, connecticut, singing "america the beautiful." fair to say not a dry eye in the house or any house when that song was going on. >> you can see the football players even struggling on the field. they want to go in there, all ra ramped up for the game. but that was very emotional. >> jennifer talked about how hard the rehearsal was, to be around those kids. she said she went around, hugged them one by one. said i'm praying for you. you combine the stage she's on with the gravity of that moment, that's a huge performance. >> we were chatting before she went on with you and said i don't even know how you got through or even was able to sing. but the kids, i thought, were beautiful. >> they were wonderful. >> the whole spectacle from perspective. >> put it on a human level. >> and then we go past half time. looks like the game is going to be a blowout. 28-6 ravens. people are getting ready to tune out. >> beyonce knocked it out. >> we'll get to beyonce. >> then the lights went out, quite literally. half the lights in the superdome. at least half of them go dark. john harbaugh, he said i think the lights just went out. >> same thing. >> so while this was going on, there are 231,500 tweets, hash tags included power outage, blackouts, super bowl blackout, blackout bowl. just a wild moment for which this game will be remembered. >> this is going to sound weird. i really enjoyed the blackout. that was probably my favorite part of the game. >> you need a life. >> i was like, come on, get back to it. >> it's unexpected. you don't -- reading the funny things on twitter. i watched the super bowl for the blackout. >> that's not supposed to happen. in this world -- you assume at that level -- >> that they test every bulb. >> we live in a time for a split second a lot of people got scared. >> little nervous. >> you think there would be backups. >> wait a second, 2013. so i got scared. thank goodness that's all it was. >> i thought the worst. on twitter, people were hash taging, the reference to the dark knight, there was a scene in that movie. >> i never even thought of that. >> i said to my husband, oh, my gosh, there's a scene in that movie. it crossed my mind for a second. hearing jenna wolfe this morning saying everybody was having fun, being positive and nobody got nervous. that was good to hear. >> some companies actually jumped on the band wagon, like oreo, making that power out, no problem. you can still dunk in the dark. like 10,000 -- retweeted 10,000 times within an hour. >> any time an advertiser can kind of seize the moment and be part of the pop culture, i bet beer -- beer consumption went through the roof at that point. serious. >> i can report that guacamole consumption went through the roof in one household. >> honestly, though, the numbers are going to come out. it's going to hurt. we talked about this earlier. there was a blowout. 35, 40 minutes, they lost a lot of audience. >> do you think people tuned in when they heard there's something crazy going on? >> they were tuned in any how. it's the only time in this country we are all doing the same thing. it's america's town meeting. it's a special, special day. >> and we all watch for the commercial. >> of course we do. >> super bowl commercials. al, you and i, donny, too, agreed on this farmers ad, which was dodge ram truck. what was it about that spot? >> a brilliant advertiser kind of, what i call, co-op an emf i emfamic esos. all that's great about farmers goes into this truck. we sometimes can take farmers for granted. it was beautiful, well done, contrasting the opposite of what jeep did with veterans, which i felt was exploiting. i felt take ownership of all that's great of servicemen and said, hey, here's our jeep. >> i didn't mind that so much. i got a little emotional watching it. >> there was some emotion but then to say, okay, we're selling jeeps with this? i don't know. >> in some way the farm er ad struck me a little bit that way, too, commercializing the farmer with the jeep. i was kind of like -- although you didn't -- not the jeep, the dodge ram truck. although you didn't see it as much throughout. >> which ad did you guys think sucked? >> i think a lot of them. >> come on. we don't want to lose advertisers here, but which ones are you scratching your heads at? >> you know, i think the go daddy thing. >> go daddy. >> but that's a perfect example of, it's interesting. ad that is you like versus effective. we were very deliberate. obviously a lot of people are rewatching our ad. you have a lot of kids watching it. >> if your kids there's a message that, in a strange way, the nerd can win. >> i love that. >> nice going. jeep, you're a little uncomfortable with but, you know, bar refaeli and this kid sucking face, you're like -- well, son -- the chia commercial, i thought that was terrific. >> that was cute. >> hyundai, that was cute. >> mercedes devil ad? >> i liked it. >> worpd what they pay for sympathy for the devil. had to be 3 million to 5 million. >> is that a popular group? >> advertisers have at their fingertips, the music, celebrities. i think contrasting also celebrities, i thought the spot with seth rogan was great, making fun of celebrityies. versus amy poehler, who i love, showed up in best buy. it was just a celebrity endorsement. when you can have fun with yourselves is when it works. >> clydesdale we all loved, though. >> great ad. half time, beyonce turned the lights out. >> literally. >> reunited with destiny's child after six years, came out and absolutely killed it. >> overwhelmed by the performance. >> beyonce is amazing. i thought -- you know, that is theiterally in the world. when destiny's child came out i leaned in further and showed me maybe there wasn't the same level as the stones or some other people. she was great but somehow she didn't seem to be holding as muc much. >> i think she totally speaks to a younger generation, absolutely. in the past, super bowl has gone for the older crowd. >> this is an '80s panel. >> exactly. >> did you notice it when destiny's child came up, the whole thing went up, whole energy went up. it's suggestive of me -- >> no. that doesn't mean there's no energy to start with. >> what do i know? >> and then it was more exciting. >> look, you have handlers that will walk in and grab you. >> baby boomers back out here. >> i'm donny deutsch and i approve this message. >> "meet the press." take three has gotten very ornery. >> strange but delicious things happening over here. cookie or cream oreo created life-size statues of us. >> we've come a long way when i'm the cream and willie is the chocolate cookie. >> is that you, willie? >> you or ronald reagan. >> it's me. >> can we eat them? >> no. >> no. >> that's just not right. >> so are you cookie or cream? >> i don't know. which one is -- >> i'm cream. >> you eat it, right into the cream? >> they belong together, you know. it's like a symphony. >> wow! >> you like that one. >> getting deep. >> they've got this thing for the next three days. you can post a photo with the #cookiethis or #creamthis. oreo, in return, will re-create your photograph made of cookies or cream. >> just in time for the holidays. there you go. >> it wasn't in the budget to have your bust made. donny, thanks a lot. >> large glass of milk to go with that?

evidence to file charges, but the interview comes as she's wrapping up her battle against bernie sanders and focusing on donald trump. >> she raised $68 million in june. if the fbi isn't finished by then, would the democrats nominate a candidate who's under investigation. could she lose momentum going into the general election? clinton says she's in the dark about what's coming and when. >> were you given that indication today that no charges will be filed? >> chuck, i am not going to comment on the process. i have no knowledge of any timeline. this is entirely up to the department. >> joining us now, donald trump's surrogate and political editor at right alerts.com. good to have you back this sunday morning. >> good to be back. >> we heard from the former secretary there. but depending upon the timing, this could be crucial. we're learning that up to this point what we've heard from the justice department is they want to wrap this up before the republican convention. is that excellent timing, shutting down a line of attack potentially from the republicans? or is it terrible timing right before they try to make their case to the american people? >> it's legal timing, if you ask me. remember, under the doj regulations, the timing of this investigation cannot affect a local or federal political election. here, this investigation is going to be wrapped up primarily because of that. because if you were to bring charges or not bring charges, that could impact the outcome of a presidential election, let alone the ability of the democrats to actually nominate whether it's the presumptive nominee or not. it's got to get wrapped up before then. from a political timing standpoint, of course the democrats and hillary want this over as fast as possible. everyone's who's looked at this, other than the republicans of course, have said there may have been mistakes made, but it certainly wasn't criminal. we will get a decision by the democratic convention at least. >> i want to bring in this tweet from donald trump. you heard there from scott that mistakes were made. and we heard from hillary clinton. she apologized several times for using this, but trump tweets it is impossible for the fbi not to recommend criminal charges against hillary clinton. what she did was wrong, what bill did was stupid. there is still the space between those two, that yes, what hillary clinton did was wrong. she apologized for her decisions there, but it may not reach the level of an indictment. >> no. you're right. i'm not as optimistic as mr. donald trump in our judicial system. i don't have as much confidence in it. especially when you're talking about an attorney general that was appointed by president obama. i don't necessarily think we're going to see prosecution. once again, we've had this hamster wheel of problems with hillary clinton. it's been benghazi. it's been her past 20 years. there's always been some sort of little spark. somewhere there's got to be a fire. it's amazing how she continues to escape any sort of justification, any sort of prosecution for any of these things that have happened over the last 20 years. >> these are nonissues. those parks a-- sparks are all being created by the republicans. >> when you say they're a non issue, they are issues for the voters. when we look at the latest quinnipiac poll, donald trump is considered to be more honest and trust worthy when compared to hillary clinton. while individually they may not matter, there is a narrative that's built that she is still fighting. >> after 20 years of those narratives, i'm not surprised at those polls at all. but the reality is there are no criminal charges. these are allegations, allegations that may be mistakemistake mistakes. colin powell used his own private server. >> no, he did not. >> he had his own private e-mail account. >> own private e-mail account. but the reality is that the system at the state department, which is what the fbi is really looking at, was antiquated here. and unless this information classified when or subsequently was used with any criminal means of trying to take that information and put it somewhere like general petraeus and some of the others have been charged, you just don't have that here right now. >> you said they're looking into it. this is a criminal investigation by the fbi. hillary clinton may say this is a review, but this is a criminal investigation. i think we need to be clear about that. you say the republicans created this. the republicans didn't put the private server in her home. while there may be other elements here, let's be clear about those elements. >> exactly. there were rules and they were broken. she was told time and time again even by the white house, by those saying when they realized that she did not have a dot gov e-mail address, they said we need you to eliminate your server and bring it back in and use the government server. that is the law. there is a huge difference between server and e-mail. i have a g-mail e-mail but i'm not using a separate server. there is a big difference on this. we do have 2,000 e-mails that have come out to be classified and 22 at least that are top secret. rules and laws were prbroken. will we actually see prosecution from an administration that is over this? you're basically asking the teacher to police other corrupt teache teachers. >> will donald trump over play his hand? >> absolutely. we all can say there was some major wrongdoing done by the clintons when it comes to these e-mail servers. however, does that make hillary clinton worse of a candidate than donald trump? i don't think so. but this just feed the narrative that she is crooked hillary. >> no one in the history of the state department has ever been criminally charged for this. bangladesh has started two days of morning for the victims of a terror attack that killed 20 hostages and two police officers at that cafe in the capital. >> and three american students are among those killed. two from emory university in georgia. shae she was a sophomore. she was visiting family and friend for summer vacation. the other student was headed into the university's business school in the fall. people who knew the students say these two were in the wrong place at the wrong time and most likely were not targets of the terrorists. >> they had the bright future. they just wanted to be highlighted that they are next to their embassy. >> the university of california berkeley talks about this student, the third one killed. she was a sophomore. had just started an internship at a bank in dhaka a few weeks ago. this massacre of course happening during the holy month of ramadan. there's new video that's believed to show commandos moving in to end the terror attack. that siege did end overnight yesterday. the attackers took hostages. they got into a shoot out with police until soldiers moved in and killed them. 13 hostages were rescued. alex fieander field is with us . i understand you have some new details about this. >> i'm speaking to you from the family members of the 20 people who were killed inside the siege at that cafe. the family members have been doing the gut wrenching job of being asked to identify the remains of their loved ones. these are people who investigators say were stabbed and gassed. isis has claimed responsibility for this attack. there's a website showing pictures of the militants who isis purports carried out these attacks. it also shows pictures of what they identify as the hostages. it certainly suggest that is the people who were carrying out this horrific attack were in communication of others on the outside. we've been at the crime scene this morning. it's still heavily guarded. there's also been the arrival of a japanese government official, a number of italians. family members are arriving in dhaka now to identify these remains and collect those remains. an arizona teenagers is being held without bond for allegedly conspireing to terror attacks in phoenix. a spokesman for the arizona attorney general says there was no trehreat to the public. in baghdad the death toll from two car bombs has risen to 80. isis has taken credit for the first blast. the second bomb went off in an outdoor market. no one has claimed responsibility thus far. still ahead, today we are hearing from residents in a florida beach town who are outraged. this is all about toxic algae polluting their beaches. newt gingrich has people wondering if he's undermining donald trump as he's being vetted. >> trump's job is to quit screwing up, get the election down to three or four big issues, all of which comes down to a single concept, enough. the heirloom tomato. when you cook with incredible ingredients... you make incredible meals. fresh ingredients, step-by-step recipies, delivered to your door for less than nine dollars a meal. get your first two meals free at blueapron.com/cook . the number one definition of the vice president's job is the president. >> right. >> so who knows? some presidents give a lot of power to vice presidents. at least trump has said over and over he needs a vice president who understands washington, because he knows he doesn't. well, if he really means that, again, people often maneuver a lot. i suspect if it did come to anything, we'd have to have a very long talk and sit down with donald and have another long talk. >> it's vice presidential vetting season. that was newt gingrich weighing in on wild speculation that he could be donald trump's pick for vp. >> mike pence and trump spent time at a golf course in new jersey. lots of business is done on golf courses. senators corey booker, labor secretary as well, all appearing on the networks today, all rumored to be on clinton's list. >> so let's talk about it now. thank you so much for being here. we appreciate it. i don't want to listen here to more of -- >> everything the clinton campaign is going to suppress trump will in the short run suppress trump because he's not trying. it has no meaning. >> so he's basically repeating trump's line that trump doesn't understand washington, but then went further to say trump has to, quote, quit screwing up. does a comment like that undermine a candidate? >> one week he's absolutely in love with him. on the other week he's criticizing him. i was a huge fan of newt when he ran for president before. at the same time, i give newt credit. he's not compromising his own personality just to get a job. he's not pandering to the presidential candidate. he also went onto slam joe biden saying he feels like president biden obviously could have stepped up his role as vp. governor mike pence has entered the race. a lot of conservatives are very excited about him. they want him to do kind of what sarah palin did to john mccain back in 2008. she solidified that conservative base. a lot of people are excited about people like governor mike pence. >> corey booker is another name floating around out there, scott. i want to give you a quick prespr preview of what we're going to hear from him. >> two weeks ago you said you were not being vetted to be hillary clinton's vice presidential running mate. >> at this point, i've answered this question, talked about this. i'm just referring questions to the woman who's going to have to make this decision. what i do know is that on the democratic side, there are many fabulous candidates. >> that is not a no, sir. >> that is exactly what it is. it's telling you, if you have a question like that, please direct it to the clinton campaign. >> do you believe that booker has enough appeal to bring some of those sanders supporters that may have been hesitant to come to clinton's side? >> absolutely. he's a rising star in the democratic party. he's smart, he inspires the base. latino voters are going to be very important to the democrats. he speaks spanish. and quite frankly, energizing the base and not just getting support of latino and african-american voters but energizing them to come out in major droves on election day is going to be super important. he does that actually and i think he would be an ideal vice president candidate to support clinton, especially with young people and young women as well. so he checks a lot of those boxes. him referring questions to the candidate that's not a no for sure. that's something that suggests he's being seriously vetted and reviewed by the clinton campaign. now the veep stakes are heating up. you just heard what corey booker was saying. there is more of what he said that you'll hear then. also trump's running mate, will he announce next week as we have heard it could happen? watch state of the union this morning at 9:00 eastern on cnn. we've talked at the people in florida upset about this toxic algae bloom hugging the coastline and keeping tourists away. we've now learn it may have killed one of those prized manatees. >> reporter: that's right. they did pull a dead manatee out of this area. nearly 5,000 residents came together yesterday in protest of this. spokesbox: ♪ go paperless, don't stress, girl ♪ ♪ i got the discounts that you need ♪ ♪ safe driver ♪ accident-free ♪ everybody put your flaps in the air for me ♪ the fourth of july weekend and florida beaches normally are crowded with vacationers on this weekend. instead some are crowding with local residents who are furious with state and local officials for allowing a toxic algae bloom. a young manatee was found dead near the algae bloom, though it's not known why it's died. the town of stuart -- the mosquitos near the water at this hour are a terror. >> reporter: thank got for off. the mosquitos are bad. it smells so bad. it smells about five times worse. it makes your eyes burn. it feels like someone is sitting on your chest. look at this. this is disgusting. it's crowding in the canals, in the rivers all over this part of the state. four counties under a state of emergency. residents are furious. nearly 5,000 people from this area came together on the beach yesterday and joined in arms spelling out the reference to buy the land. that's in reference to an amendment they passed to buy some land south of lake okeechobee to store this water with all the pollutants and the fertilizers from the sugar issues and the agriculture industries. the governor has not come down to tour the area. senator marco rubio did on thursday. and he said she was goihe was g his best to get some answers. i did have a representative from the sugar industry call me late last night. he was saying even if the land is not going to be able to put a reservoir on it because of a lease for ten years and so it is getting mixed up in the big political realm. and the people and the wildlife here in florida are suffering for it. >> i want to ask you what we have not discussed this morning. people can see what it looks like. what they can't appreciate is the smell of this algae bloom. give us an idea of another sense of what's happening there. >> reporter: well, it's hard to put in words what it smells like. i did see someone on social media yesterday describe it as imagine sticking your head in a trash can of rotted meat and cat litter and multiply that times ten. porta potty smells like that, smells like raw sewage, looks like raw sewage. any herbal thing you can think of, that's what -- horrible thing, that's what it smells like mixed together. florida depends on it tourism industry and fishing industry. >> beautiful part of the state. hopefully there's some resolutions soon there for the folks in the tourism industry. hillary clinton questioned for more than three hours by the fbi yesterday. and now the timing of what's coming next is going to be crucial for her campaign. plus, vice president joe biden giving newt gingrich a pretty hard time. tongue in cheek here. over speculation that he's on top of trump's vp list. >> i'd like to ask one question before i begin. newt, are you going to do it?

and if the investigation does close with no charges but maybe a rebuke, could she lose some momentum there? >> hillary clinton came to fbi headquarters behind me to sit for a three and a half hour interview investigating the use of her private e-mail server. out of respect for the investigative process, she will not comment further on her interview. what we do know is this is a routine part of the investigation. hillary clinton's aides have been brought in and have talked to the fbi. and this is part of what happens at the end of an investigation when the fbi brings in a subject for an interview. sources say right now there's not enough evidence to charge hillary clinton with any crimes. and barring any big game-changers in this interview today, they don't expect that there will be any charges brought against hillary clinton. and they may announce that in the next few weeks. that would be welcome news for hillary clinton and the democrats. republicans, though, continue to hit hillary clinton on this issue. in fact, donald trump tweeted this on saturday. he said, quote, it is impossible for the fbi not to recommend criminal charges against hillary clinton. what she did was wrong. what bill did was stupid. donald trump there talking about bill clinton earlier this week meeting with loretta lynch on the tarmac of phoenix international airport. came under huge criticism for that. of course, as the attorney general, loretta lynch is overseeing this investigation. but certainly republicans are going to continue to hit hillary clinton on this no matter what the outcome of this fbi investigation is. let's dig deeper now into the investigation and the questioning. tom fuentes and former assistant director of the fbi. so clinton was questioned for roughly three and a half hours yesterday. our legal analyst says that is a relatively short period of time when compared to other meetings with the fbi for questioning. is there anything that you glean or can be gleaned from three and a houf hoalf hours of questioni >> it's a complicated case. as we know, this has gone a very long time even with a great number of investigators and analysts aside. having said that, oftentimes the subject interview at the end of a case is when it comes. that's one reason why it could be short. it could be -- they already have all the evidence they need. it doesn't matter really what she says. they have physical and documentary evidence to substantiate the case. or they were asking her questions that may lead to additional interviews. we don't know that. but oftentimes a short interview with a main subject at the end of a case usually means the case has already been made and the evidence already obtained and they don't really need other than if the subject can offer reasons or mitigation for the information the fbi already has. >> let me get to something that hillary clinton said to msnbc about the interview. >> it was something i had offered to do since last august. i've been eager to do it. and i was pleased to have the opportunity to assist the department in bringing its review to a conclusion. >> something i'd offered to do since last august. >> you're an expert in this process of course. does that correspond with what you know about the process, that clinton was, as she suggests here, ready to do this in august and she was poeshtentially wait for the fbi? >> no, i don't believe that's true. she may have been offering to do the interview last august when the fbi didn't have all of the information. in the interim since last august, they even gave immunity to one of the people who set up her servers. the fact that that person needed immunity to even want to talk about it was a bad sign for hillary clinton. but they didn't have all of the facts, all of the documents reviewed yet, all the witness statements. when they were ready to talk to her in recent times, she hasn't been as quick to be interviewed. and i've heard discussions about the timing of that. but i must say in this particular case, you know, we're hearing these statements that people are saying there's no evidence, she's not going to be charged. i don't know where they're getting this. this is one of the most tightly held investigations ever. agents that work next door to the agents working on this case have no clue of what they found, what's going to happen, what the recommendations are going to be. the report goes to the department of justice and other people start reviewing it outside the fbi, i think more will be known and that should happen pretty soon. >> important point there you make. one thing i want to pull in, the reporting from justice correspondent pamela brown. the justice department's aim was to wrap up the probe before the republican and democratic conventions later this month. you've characterized the bureau as famously apolitical. that doesn't sound apolitical if they're going to wrap this up before these major political events. >> no. when i say they're apolitical, i mean it doesn't matter whether there's a democratic administration or republican administration. when they work these cases, the facts are the facts and they'll present the facts. the timing of it, the bureau is well aware of the political process and tries not to be used in that process. for example at the height of a campaign, one candidate will make an allegation through surrogates about the other candidate hoping the fbi will immediately open a case and then they can say my opponent is under investigation. the bureau is mindful of the political process in wanting to get this done to not interfere one way or the other with the election. whether they recommend charges or not has nothing to do with a democratic president being in office or the president's appointee loretta lynch. >> quickly, there's nothing that prevents them, legally or otherwise, from announcing an indictment, no indictment, a rebuke, a statement that says there's nothing to see here, during, before or after these conventions correct? >> correct. that will come from the department of justice, the actual decision. >> thank you so much. >> you're welcome. a little bit lighter moment in politics now. vice president joe biden put newt gingrich on the spot yesterday as to whether gingrich would be trump's number two. take a look. >> i'd like to ask one question before i begin. newt, are you going to do it? that's okay. that's all i wanted to know. i want to get to the important things. >> and uh -- the question was should i -- >> should he be vice president? anyway it's a hell of a job. >> we may know the answer soon. trump is expected to announce his vice presidential pick prior to the convention which is just a couple of weeks away. now we're hearing we could hear sooner. let's turn now to the terror in turkey. istanbul investigates the massacre that killed more than 40 people. and now we're learning the identifies of those suicide bombers. life insurance automobile insurance i spent 20 years active duty they still refer to me as "gunnery sergeant" when i call being a usaa member because of my service in the military to pass that on to my kids something that makes me happy my name is roger zapata and i'm a usaa member for life. usaa. we know what it means to serve. get an insurance quote and see why 92% of our members plan to stay for life. wannwith sodastream®er? you turn plain water into sparkling water in seconds. and because it's so delicious, you'll drink 43% more water every day. sodastream®. love your water. we're learning more this morning about the investigation into the attack on istanbul's airport. it's revealing details about the terrorists. two of the three attackers have been identified. and ivan watson is with us with the latest. what are you learning this morning? >> reporter: well, we haven't really gotten any updates on the suspected suicide bombers in some 48 hours from turkish authorities. aside from knowing that they seem to be citizens of russia, kurdistan and uzbekistan. 13 of the total of 27 suspects who have been detained since the airport attacks are now being arraigned in a courtroom here in istanbul. three of those suspects are foreigners. and legal procedures to decide whether or not they will be formally arrested if there's enough evidence to formally arrest them. in the meantime, the turkish military has been carrying out artillery attacks against suspected isis positions, claiming to kill 11 isis fighters and destroying several vehicles. just to dgive you a sense of ho complicated this part of the world is. the same day the turkish military carried out bombing flights to northern iraq against another militant group that turkey is fighting. this is the kurdistan workers party or pkk. >> you mentioned a raid this morning where three more people were arrested. what more do you know about that raid? >> reporter: that's about it. turkish authorities are being very tight-lipped now. if you compare it to the awful nightclub attack, san bernardino, within five days of those attacks we have a much more complete picture of the people who have carried out those attacks. in this case, we know very little except for the apartment that the three suspected suicide bombers rented in a neighborhood just a couple miles from where i'm standing. we know they are believed to have come from syria, from isis controlled syria about a month ago and they're believed to have brought their explosives with them. authorities are giving their cards close to their chest either because they don't want to tip them off, or they're trying to control the message now in a society where the media is somewhat censored by the turkish government. still to come, a powerful voice for human rights falls silent. world leaders pay tribute to remarkable legacy of holocaust survivor i lelie wiesel. toujeo® is a long-acting insulin from the makers of lantus®. it releases slowly, providing consistent insulin levels for a full 24 hours, proven full 24-hour blood sugar control, and significant a1c reduction. and along with toujeo®, i'm eating better and moving more. toujeo® is a long-acting, man-made insulin used to control high blood sugar in adults with diabetes. it contains 3 times as much insulin in 1 milliliter as standard insulin. don't use toujeo® to treat diabetic ketoacidosis, during episodes of low blood sugar, or if you're allergic to insulin. allergic reaction may occur and may be life threatening. don't reuse needles or share insulin pens, even if the needle has been changed. the most common side effect is low blood sugar, which can be serious and life threatening. it may cause shaking, sweating, fast heartbeat, and blurred vision. check your blood sugar levels daily while using toujeo®. injection site reactions may occur. don't change your dose or type of insulin without talking to your doctor. tell your doctor if you take other medicines and about all your medical conditions. insulins, including toujeo®, in combination with tzds (thiazolidinediones) may cause serious side effects like heart failure that can lead to death, even if you've never had heart failure before. don't dilute or mix toujeo® with other insulins or solutions as it may not work as intended and you may lose blood sugar control, which could be serious. toujeo® helps me stay on track with my blood sugar. ask your doctor about toujeo®. today we're hearing a lot of kol do condolences for elie wiesel. he was one of the great moral voices of our time. and in many ways the conscience of the world. >> his work touched people across the globe. his legacy stands as a monument to human dignity, compassion and justice. >> he would become the most famous survivor of the holocaust. but at the age of 15, elie wiesel had no fears when his family was rounded up in hundghy by the nazis. >> i knew something terrible. it was something terrifying was in store for us. >> arrival at auschwitz, the extermination camp. an older inmate advises him tell the germans you're 18 years old, a candidate for work. it saved his life. trapped in a nightmare he sustained himself by keeping his father alive. father and son were later taken to buchenwald camp. >> the gates swing open for german concentration camps. >> this picture was taken after liberation. he's in the second level of the bump. he would later say he didn't recognize himself. he lamented, there was no grave of his father to visit when he toured buchenwald in 2009. >> what can i tell him, that the world has learned i am not so sure. >> he started asking questions after the war, becoming a journalist. it took years before he talked about the horrors he experienced in his book called "night." in 1985 as he received the congressional gold medal he implored president reagan unsuccessfully not to visit a german cemetery filled with members of the ss. he won the nobel peace prize. he would later speak out against over atrocities. >> it's not a matter of war. it's a matter of intervention. i'll tell you this man is a disgrace. >> he was named a messenger of peace by the united nations. he would ask the u.n. security counsel -- >> why am i involved in tragic events that occur to people i have never met on the other side of oceans and continents? it is because i belong to a t m traumatized generation, haunted by the world's indifference. >> in 2008 he and his foundation learned they were among the victims of bernard madoff. he always said he was a writer and a teacher. he said he never spoke for all the holocaust victims, but serves to remind nations not to let it happen again. >> as a teacher i always believe in questions. the question is will the world ever learn? thank you. apparently, people think i'm too perky. so now i'm not being perky, telling you that drivers that switch to progressive save an average of $548! whoo! i mean, whoo. michael phelps makes it 3 for 3. >> he's already the most decorated olympian of all time, 22 medals with 18 golds. phelps had to rally in dramatic fashion on the final lap to win the 100 meter butterfly last night. he's the first american male to swim in a fifth olympic games. he has a chance to be on three relay teams. natalie coughlin failed to qualify in any event. she told reporters she didn't want to continue the heart break. it was a wild nascar race under the lights in daytona. those cars were going about 200 miles per hour when jamie mcmurray gets loose and spin into the wall and triggers a huge wreck. 22 cars involved. brad kmanaged to take the win. he knocked off novak jo djokovic in four sets. the match actually started on friday but was delayed by rain. and coming up in the next hour, we welcome the newest member of the cnn sports family, former super bowl mvp hines ward. he'll join us live for tonight's and the marlins. hines has been there all weekend and will show us how the base is honoring military families. good stuff. >> it's a big deal. >> i'm glad for him. good for him. >> it makes it exciting. because you go and you think we know how this is going to end. you were just at the french open. >> i'm halfway through my grand slam. but yeah that moment when there's a surprise, the unfortunate surprise for the french open was that serena didn't win. but you were so happy for -- and here's the thing, i don't remember who she was. at this point, we will wrap this up. >> thank you for being with us. >> much more coming. next hour of new day starts right now. hillary clinton has met with the fbi. >> sources telling cnn there's not enough evidence to charge hillary clinton. >> i think she should be in jail for what she did with her e-mails. >> newt, are you going to do it? it's a hell of a job. >> none of you should bet on all this. it's wild speculation. >> two weeks ago you said you were not being vetted. >> the former u.s. ambassador to bangladesh believes that the targeting of foreigners was intentional. >> at least three of the victims were college students studying here in the u.s. renowned holocaust survivors and noble peace laureate elie wiesel has died. good morning. >> hillary clinton could be facing really the most crucial stretch of her campaign thus far. and it has nothing to do with what her opponents are going. >> the timing of that announcement could make or break the clinton campaign. she was questioned by the fbi for three and half hours yesterday. sources tell cnn there's not enough evidence to file charges but this interview comes as clinton's wrapping up her battle against bernie sanders and is turning to take on trump. >> clinton raised $68 million in june and she's prepared to accept soon the nomination at the democratic convention at the end of the month. if the investigation closes with no charges but a harsh rebuke of clinton, could she lose momen m momentum. >> were you given that indication today that no charges would be filed? >> chuck, i am not going to comment on the process. i have no knowledge of any timeline. this is entirely up to the department. >> even if the charges are not filed here and the guidance that our justice correspondents have received is up to this point there has not been enough evidence to file charges. what will be the impact of a harsh rebuke going into the conventions? >> i think the first thing is that hillary clinton spent three and a half hours basically answering every single question that the investigators asked her yesterday. let's not forget this is also at a time where earlier last year she spent 11 hours responding to a politically motivated benghazi committee. her spokesperson says they welcome this investigation. we knew for a very long time that she was going to be a part of the questioning. as far as a rebuke, it's something that republicans get very very excited about but i think it's also going to rally democrats around hillary clinton once all the evidence comes out. >> what's your response? >> i do think we have to wait and see what comes out of that. but 175 agents on this, there's something there. they wouldn't be spending the resources to do this if not. but we're just going to have to wait and see. i know that the american people are tired of the political class has a different set of rules than regular people. that's why you've seen this uprising this cycle. it's going to be interesting what happens. on friday or one day last week they sent a thing to the judge requesting for 27 extra months for e-mails for the clinton foundation. they originally said there were 6,000 e-mails. now there's 34,000. what's going to happen with that? they're asking to extend that 27 months. that's part of it. we all want to have that too. >> number one, hillary clinton did nothing illegal. >> that's still to be determined. >> what's being investigated is whether she violated the rules with the e-mails. number two, she didn't hide anything. amy points out these additional e-mails. >> we're waiting for the potential if there's an indictment. the inspector general did the investigation. that part's done. we're waiting to see if there is a criminal indictment. that's what the fbi was involved with. >> right. a lot of experts that have come on the show say it's highly unlikely she'll be charged or indicted for any sort of criminal charges. when i say it's a breath of fresh air, she welcomed this interview. >> only because she would have been subpoenaed had she not done this interview. this whole investigation is about her and her staff. it's easy for her to say i volunteer to go do that, but she really had no other option. >> let's be fair. let's look at the countless amount of people and the staff being interviewed for the last two years. the secretary has been very transparent about what she did. she's apologized for it. while the investigation is going on, she can't really comment because there's a legal investigation. but i think there's been a high level of transparency from her. >> thank you both again. as we wait to hear the outcome for hillary clinton, we're also waiting to here who she's going to choose as her running mate. >> what i do know is that on the democratic side there are many fabulous candidates, people that could really be strong vice presidential candidates. >> that's not a no. >> that's exactly what it is. if you have a question like that, please direct it to the clinton campaign. bangladesh has started two days of mourning for the victims oh of a terror attack in dhaka. three american students are among those who have died. two were from emory university in georgia. the other student was headed into the university's business school in the fall. our affiliate in atlanta spoke to friends of the students about what happened. >> the news and the images out of bangladesh have devastated friends of two students among the hostages killed friday. >> we don't know how to grasp this yet. no one ever could see it coming. >> they were both students at emee emory university. >> he reached out and offered to help. >> they were at a cafe together in the city of dhaka when terrorists stormed in. hours later they were dead. >> i don't even want to think about it. i'd rather to remember her with that smile that she had. >> she had just finished her freshman year at the campus in oxford. hussein was preparing to transition to the business school in the fall. >> the chances of this happening is just so low. unbelievable tragedy. the university of california at berkeley says a student of the school was the third student kill kil killed. it was the deadliest, it was the boldest terror attack in the country. starting today thorauthorities have increased security around the attack site. this is video believed to show commandos moving in to end the terror attack. take a look. the siege ended early yesterday morning. the attackers took hostages, got into a shootout with police. 13 hostages were rescued. cnn cannotindependently confirm the video's authenticity. >> at the crime scene we have seen part of a japanese delegation arrive. we also know that japan is sending in counter terrorism experts. that restaurant is sealed off while investigators do their work inside. japanese family members of the victims with also set to arrive in dhaka where other family members are already doing the very grim job of being asked to identify the remains of their loved ones. >> bangladesh authorities have consistently denied an isis presence at all in the country despite previous isis claims of past attacks. in the past two years a wave of murders across bangladesh have targeted. isis has taken credit for the first blast which ripped through a busy commercial district. the second blast went off in an outdoor market. no one has claimed responsibility. rumored donald trump vice president pick newt gingrich has some advice for trump. he says get your act together. >> trump's job is frankly to quit screwing up, get the election down to three or four big issues. >> he had more to say about the vice presidential role. plus, history will be made at fort brag at a baseball game. but before that, our newest sports contribute hines ward got a feel for the base from above. >> i'm definitely going to scream like a little girl. >> has anyone passed out before?

some presidents give a lot of power to vice presidents. at least trump has said over and over he needs a vice president who understands washington. if he really means that, again, people maneuver a lot. i suspect if it did come to anything, we'd have to have a very very long talk and depending on that talk have another long talk. >> newt gingrich weighing in on chatter that he could be donald trump's top pick for vice president. even vice president joe biden got in on the action. >> newt, are you going to do it? that's all i wanted to know. i wanted to get to the important things off the bat. >> and uh -- >> he needs the help, yes. >> the question was, should i -- >> should he be vice president. i tell him anyway it's a hell of a job, get a big pay raise. it's all work. >> cnn politics reporter eric br bradner with us now. i want to hone in on something mr. gingrich said there. he said trump needs a vice president who understands president because he knows he doesn't. was that a dig at trump? or was that promoting the fact that his spoupporters love him because he is not establishment? >> he's speaking trump's language and saying, look, the message is enough and we don't need to worry about what the establishment says. and then he's speaking establishment washington's language and saying that trump's great, but he needs to really reign it in. and trump has always said he needs someone who can help him on capitol hill. this is a skill that he has not developed. and gingrich is someone who obviously has experience at speaker of the house. he's highlighting a trump weakness that trump personally sees as something he can speak about himself, that he's acknowledged and sort of touts, like it's great that i'm an outsider but i do need someone who can help me play the inside game. >> let's talk about some of the inside names. chris christie, jeff sessions, mike pence. who do you think is resonating most and how important is that vice president pick when you're talking about presidential elections? is it more important, do you think, this time around than it has been in the past? >> i think it's possible, yes, it is more important. but it depends on which direction trump wants to go. this is something that could really help him soothe a lot of conservative donors picking someone that they find palatable. chris christie on one hand is sort of like trump. he's bombastic. he's known for sort of saying, you know, throw out the establishment. whereas mike pence on the other hand is a diehard conservative. but he's also someone that is not really a big fan of raising a ruckus. you'll never see mike pence in an angry confrontation. he's got a really wide range of options here. he has to make the decision on temperamentally who he'd like to go with, what kind of style he wants as his number two. >> eric bradner, good to see you this morning. thank you. let's turn to the democrats now. he's been a top campaign surrogate for hillary clinton for months. could corey booker get the spot on the clinton ticket? you're going to hear his answer just ahead. also in florida take a look at what's happening. thousands of residents are furious and demanding action after their toxic algae bloom is coating their coastline and scaring away tourists. >> reporter: it's disgusting. it looks gross and smells worse. residents are furious. they're hoping that we will come to a resolution on this in the near term. we'll have a full report coming up. oooh! [ brakes screech ] when your pain reliever stops working, your whole day stops. excuse me, try this. but just one aleve can last 12 hours. tylenol and advil can quit after 6. [ cheering ] so live your whole day, not part... with 12 hour aleve. let's think about the florida coastal residents here for a second. they are furious about this toxic algae bloom that spoiled their beaches for the fourth of july holiday and beyond. look at all the people that came out here. 5,000 for a protest in stuart, florida, where thick, stinking scum makes it impossible for anybody to enjoy the water. >> our jennifer gray is joining us from stuart, florida, where it's just miserable. let's just call it what it is. the smell is terrible. i've been watching you in the preview monitor here. give us an idea of what's there and what the response has been from the people who live in that community. >> reporter: it's absolutely disgusting. it smells like a porta potty. it smells like sewage. it smells atrocious. and now that the sun is out, it marinates it and makes it worse. florida, flown for their pristine waters, the recreational fishing, the tourism, now dealing with this in their backyards. those 5,000 people were protesting, spelling out with their bodies by the land. and that was in reference to an amendment that they passed in 2014 to buy the land south of lake okeechobee to store all of this disgusting water that has the fert lieilizers from the su industry to store that. but nothing has been done. they're shouting at lawmakers to say what's going on, we need this fixed. it's spilling into thee estuaries. it's a crisis here in florida. and so the governor has not been down yet to visit. marco rubio did come on thursday. he did say that he was going to do his best to try to find answers and get some relief as soon as possible. i did have someone from the sugar industry call me late last night and he said they can't build a reservoir south of the lake yet because they are in an operating lease. the residents are saying we need answers right now. guys, it's really sad. this has been a back yard to me for the past decade. i'm a fisherman, a scuba diver. >> i lived in florida for seven years there in that community on the palm beaches and treasure coast section of florida. what i'm hearing from you, no answers in the short-term of how they're going to clean this up. hillary clinton questioned for more than three hours by the fbi. what can we learn from the timing of those questions and how crucial will the fbi's next steps be for her campaign? plus, is the hillary clinton/corey booker ticket in the works? two weeks ago you said you were not being vetted to be hillary clinton's vice presidential running mate. is that still the case? >> the answer after the break. ♪ the sun'll come out tomorrow... ♪ for people with heart failure, tomorrow is not a given. but entresto is a medicine that helps make more tomorrows possible. ♪ tomorrow, tomorrow... ♪ i love ya, tomorrow in the largest heart failure study ever. entresto helped more people stay alive and out of the hospital than a leading heart failure medicine. women who are pregnant must not take entresto. it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren. if you've had angioedema while taking an ace or arb medicine, don't take entresto. the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure... ...kidney problems, or high potassium in your blood. ♪ tomorrow, tomorrow i love ya, tomorrow.♪ ask your heart doctor about entresto. and help make tomorrow possible. ♪ you're only a day away ♪ it's a hell of a job. >> none of you should bet on all of this. it's wild speculation. >> two weeks ago you said you were not being vetted. is that still the case? ♪ a time of a bit of uncertainty ahead for the clinton campaign as the political world waits for the fbi's next move on her e-mail investigation. clinton was questioned by the fbi for 3.5 hours on saturday. the interview comes as clinton has wrapped up her battle against bernie sanders effectively and has turned exclusively to donald trump. her campaign said in a statement this, secretary clinton gave a voluntary interview this morning about her e-mail arrangements while she was secretary. she is pleased to have had the opportunity to assist the department of justice in bringing this to a conclusion. she will not comment further on her interview. >> for a closer look, attorney general paige pate is with us. >> i think that was funny. it's always voluntary. no one is compelled to talk to the fbi, even if you're a defendant, you have a right not to talk to them. what i find very interesting here is the timing of all of this. this is an unusual investigation. think about it for a second. we have the presumptive democratic nominee sitting down with the fbi for 3.5 hours this close to the investigation. the way they normally handle this investigation, you will start out talking to witnesses to try to find out more about the facts. if they thought hillary clinton was simply a witness, they would have gone to her earlier. but the other tact they take sometimes is if they're focusing on the person as a potential subject or targeted investigation, then they'll talk to the witnesses, gather the facts and wait until the end of the investigation, sit down with that person and either confront them with the evidence or try to get them to explain what they believe are inconsistencies. >> since she is the last interview, what do you take from that? >> i take that there's something there. if they did their investigation -- they've been looking at this for months -- and they found nothing, then why do they need to talk to her for 3.5 hours? >> there have been a lot of questions as well about the bill clinton and loretta lynch meeting on monday and the timing of that. what do you make of the fact that she has said i have been available to the fbi since august to talk to them. why this week? >> i think the timing is incredibly coincidental. it's hard for me to believe that over the past several months -- i know her lawyers have been talking to the fbi. >> she's been campaigning. >> of course. but this is a priority. you're going to want to have this interview as soon as they are willing to talk to you. i know they wanted to wait until close to the end of the investigation before they talked to her. before this weekend, i think that must have been prompted by the meeting between loretta lynch and bill clinton. >> both have come out and said we would have handled this differently. no doubt about it. if loretta lynch, who has said she will take the recommendations of in this, if she's not the one who is going to make this final decision, who does that fall on? >> right. who is in charge of this investigation? if the attorney general is basically saying i'm not going to make the final decision here, then who is? if there's that much of a problem even if nothing really happened in the meeting -- but there's now this perception that something's wrong. why not have somebody else step in? why not appoint a special prosecutor to come in at this stage and review what's been done and make a final decision? >> we appreciate your insight on this. >> thank you. we're about two weeks out now from the start of the republican national convention and speculation is of course ramping up over who donald trump will choose as his running mate. topping the list, newt gingrich. here's what the former republican house speaker said about the vice presidential job on saturday at the aspen ideas festival. >> the number one definition of the vice president's job is the president. so who knows? some presidents give a lot of power to vice presidents. at least trump has said over and over he needs a vice president who understands washington, because he knows he doesn't. well, if he really means that -- because people often maneuver a lot. i suspect if it did come to anything, we'd have to have a very, very long talk. and depending on that talk, we'd have to have another long talk. >> let's turn to the democrats now and the talk heating up over the possibility of a hillary clinton/corey booker ticket. watch this. >> two weeks ago you said you were not being vetted to be hillary clinton's vice presidential running mate. is that still the case? have you, has your staff provided any personal documents to the clinton campaign? >> at this point i've answered this question, talked at this. i'm referring questions about the vice president to the woman who's going to have to make that decision. >> that is not a no, sir. >> that's exactly what it is. >> last hour we talked with a panel about what booker would bring to a clinton campaign. >> absolutely. he is an inspiring rising star on the democratic party.telegte. he speaks spanish. energizing the base and not just getting support of latino voters and african-american voters but energizing them to come out in major droves on election day is going to be super important. he does that, actually. he would be an ideal vice president candidate to support clinton. he checks a lot of those boxes. and him referring questions to the candidate, that's not a no for sure. and that's something that suggests that he's being seriously vetted and reviewed by the clinton campaign. >> not a no for sure. be sure to watch the full interview on state of the union coming up at 9:00 eastern right here on cnn. history's going to be made today at fort brag. major league baseball honoring the troops this weekend hosting its very first major league baseball game. hines ward has a preview. >> the model and actor hopes to make his greatest story off the dance floor. >> sanjay gupta has his story. >> i had doubts in myself to join "dancing with the stars." i felt like if i failed in the first week, that means people would view deaf people as people that can't dance. >> but he didn't fail. he won. >> i'm a model, an actor and an activist. i was raised in a family that was completely deaf, two brothers, parents, grandparents, great grandparents. it is genetic. so i consider myself very fortunate. my whole family knows sign language. i went to the only university in the world for the deaf. >> then holiday came calling. >> switched at birth and america's next top model both found me on social media. i had to live with the models. i couldn't really communicate with anybody. and i remained optimistic. >> demarco's next goal, to help other people gain access to american sign language. >> there's 70 million deaf people in this world and only 2% of them have access to sign language. to deaf kids, they should always find the ability in a disability. if you do, then you'll do great things in life. a cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming and complicated. that's why at cancer treatment centers of america every patient gets their own care manager to coordinate every aspect of their care. the care manager is making sure everything is flowing well so the patient can continue to get their treatment. we are the link between the patient and the doctor. the care manager coordinates all of the patient's appointments, scans, chemotherapy... we can do paperwork or contact their employers or set them up with home health. that's what brings most people into nursing; you get to connect with people. that's what i love about being a care manager. meet the care managers at ctca. my name is collette... lindsey jodi stacy our nurse care managers are with you every step of the way so you can focus on your fight. cancer is a long journey and i want to do everything in my power to take the stress off of your shoulders so you can enjoy your life at home. learn more at cancercenter.com/caremanager appointments available now. ♪ share the joy of real cream... ...with reddi-wip. history will be made tonight when the first professional contest of any sport will be played on an active military base. the braves and the marlins square off at ft. bragg. >> they're playing in a brand new ballpark built just for this game. construction was completed in less than four months on the site of an over grown golf course. just over 12,000 servicemen and wmen have what's the hottest ticket in baseball. hines ward is also hulucky enou to be there. hines getting up early with that phone call on a sunday morning or alarm. thank you so much for doing so. victor and i were talking about how did they build the stadium for this game?

>> yes. when i jumped out of that airplane, i thought i saw jesus. so i definitely took one for the team. but as far for the game and the stadium, kudos to major league baseball and the players association for making this happen. the atmosphere will be electric tonight. kind of like a super bowl feel to it. i think from that major league baseball, this needs to be an annual event. >> i can't wait to see what they make you do next, hines. >> yeah. we said this was the initiation. i don't know if you know this or not, but no one else had to do this to get this job. i'm glad you did. >> it's all downhill from there. >> hines ward, thank you so much. welcome to the team. >> thank you, guys. still to come -- ♪ over the land of the free and the home of the brave ♪ >> she should be singing tonight at the game. >> hit that whitney houston note. >> that was upon traspontaneous. we're going to tell you more about her. what are you doing?
