Happening now, the United States senator talks about the traumatic day she tried to find a pulse by putting her finger into the bullet hole of a colleague who had just been shot. Now she wants to ban 158 kinds of assault weapons. Dispute all the iphones, the tablets, ipods and a whole lot more there are out there, perhaps in your hands right now, apples day as a wall street darling potentially, potentially could be over. Wait until you hear how the stock got clobbered today and why. And football star manti teo opens up about the hoax that fooled him and the rest of the country. Its the interview that so many people have been waiting for. Im wolf blitzer. Youre in the situation room. We begin with a new effort to ban 158 specific assaultstyle weapons and prohibit other guns from using magazines containing more than ten rounds of ammunition. Those are just two of the provisions of a bill put forward today by United States senator whose own hands were bloodied by one of the most notorious shootings in california history. Dana bash was over at the emotional announcement on capitol hill. Tell our viewers, dana, how it unfolded. Reporter wolf, of all of the gun control measures that president obama announced earlier this month, banning the assault weapons at least reviving the ban is going to be the most difficult to pass here in congress. Even the primary senate sponsor says it will take years. For Dianne Feinstein, its personal. Supervisor harvey milk have been shot and killed. Reporter the death of her colleagues, including harvey milk, the first openly gay public official in america was so traumatic, she rarely discusses it. You were very close to that tragic shooting. But here at the launch, she announced it great detail. I was the one who found supervisor milks body and put a finger in a bullet hole trying to get a pulse. Once you have been through one of these episodes, one you see what the crime scene is like, it changes your view of weapons. She put on an elaborate event. Even getting permission from d. C. To display ten types of assault weapons, including an ar15, the kind of rifle the shooter uses to murder children in newtown. Assault weapons were designed for and should be used on battlefields, not on the streets. Reporter this would prohibit the sale, manufacture, transfer and importation of assaultstyle weapons and ban largecapacity magazines of more than ten rounds of ammunition. It keeps legal most handguns and 2,200 hunting and sporting rifles. How are you going to go hunting with Something Like that . Reporter family members and victims of massacres across the country. I was shot in the jaw. Its one millimeter from my brain stem. If anyone asks today, can you win this . The answer is, we dont know. Its so up hill. Reporter but pushing gun control is now a White House Campaignstyle effort and Vice President joe biden held a social media town hall, a google hangout to rally support. Make your voices heard. This outfit, this town listens when people rise up and speak. Reporter the white house and feinstein know their biggest hurdle is convincing fellow democrats from gun right states to support gun control. The message to democrats is, see what your silence does . There will be more of these. Reporter no surprise, wolf, saying that they dont like this proposed ban. Feinstein is, once again, focused on curtailing the constitution instead of prosecuting criminals or fixing the Mental Health system. We are confident congress will deny the wrongheaded approach. Its not just republicans who are going to be opposed to what senator feinstein is proposing. A whole lot of democrats are going to be nervous about it as well. Reporter precisely. Thats what senator feinstein was saying there in the piece, that her message to those fellow democrats, which they really are her first target, if you will, in terms of lobbying for her legislation, her message is, silence is really deadly. And the number of democrats, though, from those red states are big. Ive talked to couple of these, ted barrett as well. Senators that say just not they dont even think that they could go for the assault weapons ban. Universal background checks, that is something that has the most likelihood of passing but thats a long shot. Well see what happens. Dana, thanks very much. Other news were following, including a dramatic new confession involving one of the best Football Players in the nation. Manti teo, the aspiring story of the player who kept playing despite the death of his grandmother and girlfriend took a bizarre turn a couple weeks ago. Teo revealed that he had been deceived. His girlfriend who he had only spoke with by phone but still called the love of his life never actually existed. Deadspin. Com revealed he was the victim of a hoax. Teo tells katie couric he initially wasnt as forthcoming as he could have been after finding out the truth because he was embarrassed. Did you have any involvement in creating the scam . No, i did not. I think what people dont realize is the same time people found out about this situation, i found out. I got the call on december 6th saying that she was alive and from december 6th to january 16th, my whole reality was that she was dead and all of a sudden she is alive. At that time i didnt know that it was just somebodys prank. Katie couric also asked teo about the phone conversation he had with the alleged perpetrator of the hoax after it had all been revealed. You say he later called you. What did he say to you on the phone . He just basically expressed and explained what he did and why he did it. Did he say why he did it . He didnt say why. He just explained that he just wanted to help people and that was his way of helping people, of being someone that he wasnt and trying to connect with somebody on a different level and help them out. What did you say to him . Obviously it didnt really help me out. Well have more excerpts in a little bit. Lets get more background on this story thats the talk of much of the sports world, even beyond. Our cnn National CorrespondentDeborah Feyerick reports. Reporter for manti teo, every game, every victory led to this, januarys National Championships shaped and inspired in many ways by the personal tragedy months earlier of the 21yearold College Football hero. When i lost my girlfriend and my grandma, that was possibly the hardest time of my life. Reporter the day was september 11th, 2012. Teo learned his beloved grandmother had died. Hours later, a call that his girlfriend who had apparently told him that summer she had been in a car accident and diagnosed with cancer, she had also died. You know, the love of my life, the last thing she said to me was, i love you. Reporter teo dedicated the season to them both, sending white roses and skipping the funeral to play football, as he promised. Everyone, opposing teams, fans rallied around the hawaii native. To see the whole stadium, both notre dame and michigan fans wears leis, you know, thats where i just looked up and said, my father, youre the man. Reporter the relationship began on facebook. In an offcamera interview with espn, teo says he met ka cue wa the winter of his freshman year. He fell in love with this photo and the voice over a secell pho. I just want to say i love you and good night and ill be okay. Teo telling espn that she was a stanford graduate running the family Construction Business because her dad had dead. Every time they tried to meet, something prevented it. Teos first facetoface contact came with this guy, renaiah who claimed to be her cousin. A girl who in reality is diana omeara. He left me messages on facebook that he and his cousin had been in a traumatic car accident. Reporter the story unravelled two days before the heisman trove trophy award. What i went through is real. The feelings, the pain, the sorrow, that was all well. Reporter he references the death and keeps the story alive.

Also, she wanted his Checking Account number. He went to the credit union where he kept his money and said, is it possible to withdraw money if you give somebody your account. They said no. But its a fantastic story. Every time he had an answer, any time there was a little sign that maybe this wasnt right, the person on the other end was able to answer miss question. Wolf . All right. Deb feyerick, thanks very, very much for that. Were going to have more from man ta teos interview with katie couric well also have a recording of the voice who you believed was the voice of lennay. Also, why apples stock is nosediving despite the companys record profits. Whats going on . , your life will flash before your eyes. Make it worth watching. Introducing the 2013 lexus ls. An entirely new pursuit. Another punishing day for shareholders for one of the best known companies. Apple stock loft more than 12 of its value today. Since september, the stock has dropped 28 even though the company just reported recordbreaking quarterly profits. Lets bring our own alison kosik. She is in new york. What is going on here . What apple did after the closing bell, it released its report card, its earning report and apple can na can balancized itself. People bought more iphone 4s instead of the iphone 5. To put it in perspective, apple reported record profits and sold 48 million iphones in the recent quarter and 23 million ipaipads three months. Wall street was unhappy with it. Thats how the shares ended, more than 12 lower. The mantra, buy low, sell high. They wanted to take a profit before the higher Capital Gains taxes can kicked in at the beginning of the year. Whats happening today is investors choosing to get out of the stock because competition is becoming more of a factor. There are these quality alternatives going strong these days. Im talking about the tablet and the smartphone arena. Its getting crowded. What youre seeing is the average price is still around 700. A lot of people are still sweet on apple shares even though it plunged today, wolf. Steve jobs died about a year and a half ago. What does all of this say about tim cooks tenure as the apples ceo . It says you know what, youre going to get the blame, tim cook. Youre the ceo so the buck stops with you. He saw the blowout of the iphone 4s and took the stocks to greater heights. It was around 375 when he took over. The price almost doubled in tim cooks first year in charge. It peaked in september when iphone 5 came out. Since then, the shares have been tumbling. For one, wall street and analysts dont have much confidence that he can deliver like steve jobs did, that he can deliver the hippest, sexiest blockbuster devices. If the next quarter shows more of what we saw last quarter, there may be a reevaluation going on but for now the analyst expects cook to stay. Wolf . Alison kosik, thanks very much. In the wake of yesterdays fireworks, Hillary Clinton came to praise the man that is taking over her job as the secretary of state. Senator john kerry, our Foreign Affairs correspondent, jill dougherty, was watching what could very well be her last public appearance before congress. The waning days of Hillary Clinton as her secretary of state and its time to ask the question, did she put her mark on that job . Hillary clintons last day of secretary of state is almost here. Were all getting a little emotional anticipate sentimental around here. We have about a little over a week to go in my tenure. That is, if the senate, as expected, confirms john kerry by then. John is the right choice to Carry Forward the Obama Administrations Foreign Policy and i urge his sped deacon firm mags. Before leaving, just like her first day on the job four years ago i am absolutely honored and thrilled beyond words to be here with you. Clinton is likely to say goodbye to the diplomat shes led and deliver a major speech on international policy. But her last days as americas highflying top diplomat have been overshadowed by nearly a month of illness, the fallout over the deadly attack in benghazi. I think its inexcusable that you did not know about this and that you did not read these cables. And her impassioned defense. What difference at this point does it make . It is our job to figure out what happened. I dont think it will be part of her legacy. Beyond benghazi, former secretary of state Madeleine Albright says clinton did Something Big for americas Foreign Policy. I think she will be valued greatly for finding other parts than just military power for america the way that we use our influence. Others, while praising clinton personally, charge the administration shes part of, failed on the Big International issues, like middle east peace, iran, and north korea. I think the probably for Hillary Clinton and her legacy has less to do with hillary herself or with her competence and has a lot to do with barack obama and the way he runs this administration. Basically, in his first term, the state department had no role in the making or execution of Foreign Policy. But a former Senior Member of Clintons State Department believes Hillary Clinton changed the relations in the world. You think about Climate Change can or global pandemics or Food Security or water security, all those are issues that involve development as well as diplomacy. They require a different set of tools and secretary clinton understood that and has been systematically building up those tools. And last week Hillary Clinton was asked whether shes ready to retire. I dont know if thats a word i would use, she said, but certainly stepping off the very fast track for a little while, which, of course, a comment that only fueled speculation that she might run for president in 2016. Wolf . This woman is not getting ready to retire, thanks for sure. Jill, thanks very much. The republican senator who provoked Hillary Clintons exacerbated response yesterday tried to dot same to john kerry today as well. Lets listen to this exchange. It makes a big difference whether the people of the United States have the confidence that the administration and president is being truthful with them. So i guess my question is, do you agree with that point and are you willing to work with me or do you agree with Hillary Clinton that thats kind of yesterdays news and lets move on . Well, be senator, if youre trying to get some daylight between me and secretary clinton, thats not going to happen here today on that score. But i think youre not i think youre talking past each other z we could be. I dont think that was the question. I think that if your question is, should the American People get the truth and does it matter . Hillary clinton would say yes. And i say yes. Will you work with me on an ongoing basis so we can get that behind us so we can find out what kpaactually happened . Can you make that commitment to me . Senator, in all fairness, i think we do know what happened. I think it is very clear were you at the briefing with the tapes . No. Well, there was a briefing with tapes which we all saw, those of us that went to it, which made it crystal clear. We sat for several hours with our intel folks who described to us precisely what we were seeing. We saw all of the events unfold. We have a very complete and detailed description. Senator kerry telling senator johnson he does not agree with the claim that the Obama Administration intentionally misled the American Public about what happened at benghazi.
