Actually i was happy because it shows how weak they are. It shows how pathetic they are. Trump fights back against cruz and kasich. You guys are talking about this 24 7, like this is some thunderbolt. Donald trump is going to scream and yell and curse and insult and probably cry and whine some as well. Were in this race to win. Were going to be in california in june, philadelphia back here in july. What he and his supporters are saying just doesnt add up. I have 2. 7 million more votes. Sending 250 special forces to syria. What does that represent . Although we are not going to be sending Ground Troops in to fight, we are going to try to find out what works and then double down. Powerful spring storms in Southern California. Strong winds picking up and tossing a heavy canopy. It was almost like a spro movie. In florida, a small plane crashed onto a home. Three people in Critical Condition. Tom bradys suspension back on after an Appeals Court ruled he should take a seat. Were pleased with that and hope we can move forward from here. Look at him go. A wayward bear caused a big scare in a los angeles neighborhood. I looked out the back door and saw a bear. Purple. No one knew this was coming. How do you keep something this big a secret . I think beyonce should be running the cia. We could rename it the beyoncia. Thrones and alliance to stop donald trump. In a last ditch effort to sink donald trump. Team krasich. Its a crazy plan. As long as they do it three months ago, it just might work. This mornings eyeopener is presented by toyota, lets go places. Welcome to cbs this morning. Voting is under way in a string of primaries that could give a big boost to both president ial frontrunners. Donald trump is favored to win all five republican races in pennsylvania, maryland, delaware, connecticut, and rhode island. These states are not part of the pact where ted cruz and john kasich vowed to Work Together against trump. The billionaire says the Alliance Shows his opponents are weak and pathetic. Major garrett with us in the studio. Good morning. Good morning. John kasich told me this awkward 11th hour alliance is protecting the country against Hillary Clinton, perhaps about protecting the nomination. Donald trump knows this and let go with a barrage of attacks on, well, just about everything. It shows how weak they are. It shows how pathetic they are. Donald trump predictedly pounced on a new pact with ted cruz and john kasich to let the stronger challenge trump in three upcoming primaries. You have lyin ted. Hes a joker. He cant do it. The kasich thing is interesting. Here is a guy who says im just going to stay. Like a stubborn, like if you have a child who is a stubborn brat. I dont care daddy. Trump even mocked his table manners. Stuffing pancakes in his mouth like this. They talk about president ial. I see, president ial. Puts pancakes this big in his mouth, shoving them in. Urged kasich supporters in indiana to set aside misgivings and unite against trump. What that means is indiana gets a straight and direct choice between our campaign and donald trump. In philadelphia kasich first told his supporters to stick with him. Hours later in maryland, kasich told us this. Im not going to be campaigning in indiana. Voters can figure out what they want to do and let them do what they feel they should. You would welcome their votes, right . I would never tell a voter who votes for me that i dont like their vote. You guys are talking about this 24 7 like this is some thunderbolt, like this is something so shocking. The highly unusual cruz kasich gambit, trumps momentum. May have a good night. Then day after tomorrow the race will shift back west. As it shifts back west, there are a lot of states that will be very good. For all their denials, this is an unconventional strategy to take down a frontrunner and let antitrump super pacs to get more money where the test exists. The first indiana. If it succeeds, antitrump forces will have a playbook. If not, they will have trump and no more illusions. Once again, nothing typical about this campaign 2016. To be continued for sure. Thank you, major. Polls show Hillary Clinton is the favorite going into the primaries. The sweep could make her nomination almost a sure thing. Big prize pennsylvania, 189 delegates up for grabs there. Cbs news ballots ground tracker shows clinton leading Bernie Sanders by 8 points. Nancy cordeson in philadelphia where both candidates held primaries before campaign day. Nancy, good morning. Good morning. Sanders may say fancy polling but when we because the up with him in philadelphia last night, he was not willing to entertain even the possibility that he might be all but mathematically eliminated from contention after tonight. If you look at state polling, youre behind in pennsylvania, maryland and connecticut. If you wake up on wednesday and youve lost most or all of these side states, what do you do then . What we do is go to West Virginia and kentucky and head out to california, the largest state in our country. I believe that the people in every state in this country have a right to cast the ballot, to determine who they would like to see as president of the United States and equally important the agenda that they want the Democratic Party to have. Do they want to address the issues of rampant poverty in the country, massive income and wealth inequality. Hillary clinton talks about these issues, too. Is she Strong Enough on poverty to win over your supporters if she needs to . Ill let my supporters make their own decisions. But you have a lot of influence over them. Were in this race to win. Were going to be in california in june and philadelphia back here in july. My job is to win this nomination. If i dont win the nomination, im going to do everything i can to make sure the republican does not get elected president of the United States. Reporter at a town hall last night, clinton noted she didnt place any conditions on her support for president obama back in 2008 the way that sanders seems to be hinting he would place on her for his support. But, norah, hes a different kind of candidate. He got into the race to highlight issues like income inequality so he sees very little downside for holding out on those issues. Nancy, thank you so much. Managing editor of bloomberg politics. Good morning. Good morning. All right. So this cruzkasich gambit. Too little, too late or will it work . The alliance. Its an act of a little bit of panic, a sense that the door is closing, window is closing. Long lasting. Yes, the runway is now shortened to the point everyone is going oh, my god. The key thing here is this is all about indiana where basically at anticruz antitrump forces come to the conclusion if he wins as we expect him to and goes to indiana and wins in indiana, hell basically be unstoppable. The motivating factor in this alliance is ted cruz realizing if they didnt get kasich to stop campaigning in indiana, they would likely get cruz in indiana. If we lose indiana were doomed. Im the only one that can beat cruz here, please stop campaigning. Youve seen yesterday already kasich saying theres cracks. Kasich saying im not telling my voters not to vote for me in indiana. Its not that big a deal. The whole thing has a slap dash feel to it. How do you know voters will vote for cruz. You dont. The whole point is not so much to change anyones mind to is committed to vote for kasich, they probably will still vote for kasich, theres still an undecided vote there. The question was also about signaling the antitrump super pacs about what to do with their money in indiana. So focus on propping up cruz, maybe attack kasich a little bit. Try to depress kasichs vote a little bit and move that undecided vote into cruzs column rather than splitting it between cruz and kasich. Again, its a very thin margin they are playing with here. Trump is about 40 in indiana now. If he gets another 3, 4 points, hes likely to win under any circumstances. Is Paul Manafort making a difference . He says that with a straight face. He went down and said donald trump will be different, president ial, a different guy. Now kasich stuffing pancakes. Talking about lyin ted, 1for38 kasich. This is all an act. It is. Theres some element of what manafort is beginning to telegraph to republican establishme establishme establishme establishment tarrians, the wall, its going to go away this summer, which is a really cynical point of view but could be true. Could turn away some of his right original supporters. It could. I think trump understands hes going to have to pivot to the center in a general election. Manafort is exposing that in an unusually frank way. Thank you, john. Always good to see you. President obama is back at the white house this morning after a week in the middle east and europe. Air force one touched down monday evening in joint base andrews outside washington. We spoke with the president yesterday in germany, wide ranging interview. He had Just Announced 250 more american troops will go to syria. They will help in the fight against isis, also known as isil. Us dismantling isil is a priority. Although we are not going to be sending Ground Troops in to fight, we are going to try to find out what works and then double down. One of the things thats worked so far is us putting special forces in for training and advising of local forces but also intelligence gathering. Let me pivot to china. Secretary of defense has been in the region. How aggressive do you see the action in the South China Sea and do you worry they will cross some line in which youll have to respond more aggressively . Ive been consistent since ive been president in believing that a productive, candid relationship between the United States and china is vital not just to our two countries but world peace and security. Were a lot better off with a china that feels confident. Not a zero sum game. Not a zero sum game. What is clear, they have a tendency to view some of the immediate regional issues or disputes as a zero sum game. So with respect to the South China Sea, rather than operate under International Norms and rules, their attitude is were the biggest kids around here and were going to push aside the philippines or vietnamese. But it doesnt mean that were trying to act against china, we just want them to be partners with us. Where they break out of International Rules and norms, were going to hold them to account. What about north korea finally . North korea is a massive challenge. Our First Priority is to protect the American People and our allies. Create a japan vulnerable to actions north korea is engaging in. They are erratic enough. Their leader is personally irresponsible enough that we dont want them getting close. But its not something that lends itself to an easy solution. We could obviously destroy north korea with our arsenals. But aside from the humanitarian cost of that, they are right next door to our vital ally, republic of korea. One of the things we have been doing is spending a lot more time positioning our Missile Defense systems so that even as we try to resolve the underlying problem of Nuclear Development inside of north korea, were also setting up a shield that can at least block the relatively low level threats they are posing right now. That seems like a little bit of news there, setting up a shield. It is. The interesting thing, too, about the new 250 troops going in, special forces, i said to him, whats the strategy here . He talked about what they are doing, how important it was for them to be there, because people coming in and out of raqqah. He also when i said to him, do they have are they given the right to certainly and destroy . He said, i dont want to talk about that. In iraq, the secretary of defense has said specifically special forces do have that right. Thats an important point, very important point. In our next hour youll hear president obama talk about the threat posed by russia and Vladimir Putin and you can see the full interview tonight on my pbs program. Im thinking yesterday you were in germany, today back at the table. Quickly, as i was leaving it was sort of raining in germany, i could see out my window air force one and they were beginning to load. Its a huge plane. Now youre back here. Thats good. A series of storms lining up to bring wet weather to the west. Winds 65 miles an hour blasted parts of Southern California yesterday. Knocked over kfc sign and tossed an awning on top of cars. Chief weather caster from cbs tracking our severe weather. Lonnie, what do you see . Good morning. You know when im seeing on the west coast not looking bad. Yesterday preceding winds. Im looking at this cloud deck with the wet weather moving in more so tomorrow and into the day thursday. Today the big story is the mid sebs of the country, nebraska down into texas where you see oranges or red, large dancing hail, tornadic activity there. The timing of this whole system is going to be more so later in the day. National Weather Service thinks 70 chance for outbreak in that area. Wherever you see this pink shaded area, you have got to be on alert. You hear the sirens, youve got to move. Here is how we see it one more time. Nebraska to texas, highest probability, 2 00 in the afternoon to 4 00 in the morning. You have got to stay alert. Again, if you live in this portion of the country, you know what to do when you hear those sirens. Just be prepared. Thank you so much. One of the nfls biggest stars tom brady will likely miss the first four games of the Upcoming Season over deflategate. A federal court ruled the patriots quite a bit must serve the suspension handed down by the league. Gillette stadium in foxboro with how its a big win for nfl and commissioner Roger Goodell. Good morning. Good morning. It really has nothing at all to do whether tom brady had anything to do with underinflated footballs and everything to do with whether the commissioner Roger Goodell has the authority to impose a fourgame suspension. Ultimately, the court decided they did. They were very firm in their decision, that it was within our authority. The judgments were based on solid facts. So were actually pleased with that. The Second Circuit court of appeals sided with the nfl monday upholding tom bradys fourgame suspension. Its a power struggle between how much power the nfl really does wield over the players. The court ruled Roger Goodell properly exercised his broad discretion signing 2011 collective Bargaining Agreement between Players Union and team owners. All fans want to know, what happened. But that wasnt the job of this court. Arthur miller, the dean of the Sports Institute at New York University said mondays ruling has little to do with deflated footballs. It doesnt say brady was guilty or not guilty. It really is a decision about process. The league applauded the decision while the Nfl Players Association said they were disappointed. They claim goodell did not serve as a fair arbitrator. I didnt alter the ball in any way. Brady denied allegations patriots staff intentionally tampered with their footballs during afc championship game against indianapolis colts. Last february patriots owner bob craft defended his team on cbs this morning. We won the super bowl 2824 and the League Pretty much had full charge of the footballs. Months later star tight end Rob Gronkowski agreed. Just get the four games wiped out baby. Tom has to be concerned with his own legacy. He says the league is the clear winner. A good day for nfl. People are questioning the game more in terms of health risks. On sunday people want to see the nfl. Reporter the Players Union says they are weighing their options and tom brady can appeal, if he chooses. Norah. All right. Not only sundays but thursdays. We love football many nights of the week. Thank you so much. We will talk with commissioner Roger Goodell thursday about the brady ruling and the nfl draft. Thats going to be thursday right here on cbs this morning. Youre going to be okay . Today i thought you might be wearing black. Because of the brady suspension . The story is not over. More to come. Small plane sla from our kpix5 studios in san francisco, good morning, everybody.
