clock. next month, the 30-year-old shuttle program will end with a mission of another shuttle, the at lan hi atlantis. pressure is mounting on congressman anthony wiener to answer two questions posted on his twitter account. how hot is it getting? >> how about you do the questions, i do the answers and this jackass interrupts me. how about that as the new rule of the game? >> let's catch you up on this stoefrmt on friday night, a picture of a man in his jupd wear briefly showed up on wiener's twitter account. it was intended for a 21-year-old woman's site. that many would, a college student told the new york daily news that, yes, he followed her on twitter but the lewd post did not come from the congressman but from somebody who has harassed her before. on monday, he blamed the photo on a hacker. on tuesday, cnn's dana bash asked him, if that was true, why not go to the police? >> you are here, which we appreciate but you are not answering the questions. can you just say why you haven't asked law enforcement to investigate what you are alleging is a crime? >> you know, dana, if i was giving a speech to 45,000 people, and someone in the back of the room threw a pie or yelled out an insult, would i spend the next two hours responding to that? no. i would get back. >> this is into the situation. >> i would get back. >> reporter: this is not the situation. >> you want to do the briefing? >> reporter: you sent from your twitter account a lewd photograph was stoent a college student. answer the question. was it from you or not? >> sir, sir, permit me. do you guys want me to finish my answer? >> reporter: yes, this answer. did you send it or not? >> if i were giving a speech to 45,000 people and someone in the back threw a pie or yelled out an insult, i would not spend the next two hours of my speech responding to that pie or that insult. >> you are the one that said that you were hacked. that's a criminal, potential criminal offense. >> i am going to have to ask that we follow some rules, you ask questions and i do the answer. >> i would love to get an answer. >> that would be reasonable, you do the questions, i do the answers and that jackass interrupts me. how about that as the rule of the game? >> you heard him call a man a jackass. that man was our long-time cnn capitol hill producer, ted barrett. welcome and thank you for joining us this morning. i know you had a long night last night. first of all, congressman wiener said he didn't want to talk about this. he just wanted it to go away to concentrate on more important things. tell us the circumstances of this particular appearance yesterday. >> reporter: well, we had been staking out his office for a good part of the day. prior to this news conference, he did a news conference a few hours earlier where he gave really the very exact same answers that he did at this one about the heckler, about throwing the pie and those answers obviously were not really material to the question about the lewd photograph and the twitter account. because he so clearly was relying on those talking points and we felt strongly we wanted to get the answers to these questions, that's why my colleague, dana bash, and i were pressing him so hard to specifically address those allegations. >> you wanted a yes, no, answer, number one, was that lewd picture of you, yes or no, congressman wiener? number two, if there was someone who hacked into your account as a lawmaker, as a u.s. representative, why aren't you going to the police or should you go to the police? you wanted a yes or no answer to that question. you didn't get that. you got those talking points. why is it important that representative wiener answer these questions like flat out yes or no? >> reporter: well, i think from our standpoint, it is not so much about the salacious details about the lewd photo and the like. that happens to be what this is about. i think that his answers have not been forthcoming. he has not tried to offer any evidence or specific proof as to why this was a prank or a hack, as he had said. so we needed to get at why he wasn't being forthcoming with us. that speaks to, you know, i think a person's integrity and the like. again, it wasn't about the salacious details. it was more about that he was not, didn't appear to be forthcoming in his responses. he wanted to turn it and talk about something else. he kept doing that again and again and again. >> right. it seemed as if he was evasive instead of just telling voters the truth about what happened. you have worked on capitol hill for cnn for years. what kind of reputation does congressman wiener have? >> reporter: well, i think he has a very good reputation. he is a partisan democrat. if you are a democrat you like him a lot. if you are a republican, you probably find him a worthy opponent. he is known to be very media savvy. that is one of the reasons i think that sort of our flag went up yesterday when he kept repeating the same media strategy to dealing with these answers, because he is a very disciplined carrier of messages. he wanted to stay on this message, talking about debt ceiling. talking about you who he wasn't going to be distracted by this. so he is a very talented politician. no question about that. >> ted barrett, cnn congressional producer, thank you for joining us this morning. sarah palin's bus tour has taken an unexpected detour for a quick stop at the trump tower m manhattan. she sat down with donald trump who announced he would not announce a white house bid. they got some tongues wagging with the idea of the pale lynn trump ticket. we had a great time, a great denner. we discussed a lot of things. >> politics? >> politics and other things, marvin. >> reporter: can you share with us what the political discussion was? >> someday, i will. at the bottom of the hour, we will take a closer look of the possibility of a trump/palin ticket. we know it is never going to happen. we will talk about much more with very well think iowa donors traveling to new jersey to try to recruit other republican candidates to head into the republican race. we will talk about that. since the economy tanked a few years ago, many of us have tried to spend less thand pay off more of our bills. a couple of weeks ago, the feds maxed out their credit cards, reached their spending limits. the death ceiling is $14.3 trillion, trillion with a t. they want to bump up their spending limits another $2.4 trillion. lawmakers aren't just saying no. they are saying heck no, by a par jen of more than 3-1, the house has rejected the white house's request. president obama will make his pitch in person to congressional republicans to get them to change their minds. they will arrive at the white house with demands they say are non-negotiable. the white house must make sharp spending cuts and major reforms on how the government sfends our money. it is the end of an error for the space shuttle "endeavour." earlier this morning, it completed its final mission with a perfect landing in florida. have a journey of 6 1/2 miles, "endeavour" landing in darkness, the engeneral knewity of every flight and dreamer that helped it ply. >> it means that nasa's 38-year-old space shuttle program has only one flight remaining. john zarrella is at the kennedy space center in florida. were you there in 1992 for the first flight. how did it feel to see her wrap up her career this morning? >> reporter: book ending it from the first flight to the last flight, "endeavour" probably never would have been built if nor for the tranlg gic challeng accident. watching it come in on that picture perfect landing early this morning, you are thinking to yourself, that's it. it is not flying again and there is only one more left that will fly again. it is pretty interesting feelings that go through your mind. the crew that just wrapped up this mission held a news conference just a few minutes ago and, of course, mark kelly, the commander, was asked about his wife, congresswoman gabrielle giffords, who made it here for his launch but did not come for the landing. he kind of explained why. >> one of the reasons we didn't have her come down here is because it was really late in the night. what she is going through now is very physically challenging and difficult thing, very busy schedule. it certainly would be disruptive. we all have kids right now that are just crashed from being up all night. for anybody, anybody in this room, for us, it is kind of easy, because we have sleep shifted. what i am going to say to her? i really miss her and can't wait to get back there tomorrow to see her. we are all looking forward to spending time with our families. >> reporter: he said that before the news conference, he had not called her yesterday, because he did not want to wake her up. he didn't even know if she had gotten up to watch the landing or not. but that he was certainly going to make the call once he finished up the news conference and got back. in houston, they are an hour behind. it it was a little early to be waking her up. >> i wanted to ask you about "atlantis," it is supposed to launch in july. is everything still on track for that? >> reporter: absolutely. a phenomenal day. as "endeavour" was flying in, "atlantis" was rolling out to the launch pad the last time a shuttle will ever make it, the 4 1/2 mile, from the vehicle assembly building behind me, over to launch pad 39-a. it is out there now. nasa says that they are on track for a july 8th launch. interesting, carol, if they actually get off on july 8th, they would return to earth on july 20th, which, of course, is the anniversary of the first moon landing. carol?

>> exactly, carol. this has been ratcheted up with the poor boy, humza, that was killed in syria. lis stone what hillary clinton said. >> i too was very concerned by the reports about the young boy. i can only hope that this child did not die in vain but that syrian government will end the brutality and begin a transition to real democracy. >> secretary clinton, carol, also added that the syrian regime is weakening and that there has been a total collapse, she called it, of willingness on the side of the regime to even listen or work with its own people. it has been something like ten weeks now of protests in syria and there have been some pretty brutal crackdowns. the boy, humza, who was killed, has become a symbol for so many people in syria protesting against the regime. >> zain verjee, reporting live from london. the world health organization is saying your cell phone might cause cancer. coming up next, a noted brain surgery says you should also look out for memory loss too because of your phone. a tv reporter helps a woman whose suv got stuck on a flooded roll. the dramatic rescue as cameras roll.
