3:18 am
healthcare.gov, there is something new that you can click on. it says apply by phone. you can see it right there. i must say i have talked to these phone operators many, many times. they are very helpful. they do answer quite quickly. kate. >> all right. thank you so much, elizabeth. we will see what the president has to say about these glitches plaguing today. thank you. the new health care law was at the center of a 16-day government shutdown and leaders that vote against it, republican senator ted cruz. cruz received a warm welcome at home in texas, still some real fears of reig fighting a war within the republican party over there. the chief party asked if he will rule down another shutdown next year. are you planning on doing this again on january 15th when the current bill that was just passed to reopen the government, when it finishes?
3:19 am
>> there will be time enough to talk about specific strategies, specific tack techs. what i can tell you is i think we need to keep as the top priority providing meaningful relief for all the millions of people. >> you are not ruling it out? >> what i'm saying is the top priority. there are a lot of plegss who want to put obama care behind us say, okay, fine, in more, no more discussing the obama care. you know what the american people are fought satisfied with that. >> on a practical level, what is frustrating to many of your colleagues is they think that you are turning your ire on them instead of focusing on how to help elect more republicans to do what you all want to do. i know you say you are fought endorsing any primary candidates, but your tack techs are being used as fundraising tools for the very groups na do fund those groups. >> my ire is on obama care because it's not working and it's hurting the american people. i'm not acceptable, i'm not willing to go to the texans who
3:20 am
electled me and said you are hurting because of obama care, i washed my hands, i'm not willing to stand up and fight. i'm not willing to tell my constituents and i am encouraging senate republicans to stand together for the presenceples. >> and those that you say have tarnished the brand, you have set the party b.c. in efforts to maybe retake the senate, maybe get in a position where a republican can when the white house in 2016. >> the single most damaging thing that has happened to republicans for 2014 is all of the senate republicans attacking the house republicans, attacks those pushing the effort to defund obama careened lining themselves up opposite the american people. now, i'm hopeful that will change. i am hopeful there will be some time, some reflection and the senate republicans will come back to the presenceples they believe and they campaigned on. i am hopeful we will put action behind the company promises. >> all right, dana, thank you so
3:21 am
much for that great interview. >> in context from what we are hearing from the senator. what we will talk about when we come pack is, how badly did the republican party hurt itself during the government shutdown a. new cnn poll finds out what you are thinking. we will break down out u all the numbers in a political gut check. also ahead, former vice president cheney revealing what his first words were after making it through the surgery with sanjay gupta. for aches and pains
3:23 am
3:25 am
>> welcome back to "new day." new cnn polls released today. they're showing how badly the republican shutdown has hurt republicans in terms of public opinion. chief national correspondent john king is here to break it all gown u down for us. this for many republicans in the house and senate, these numbers will not be a huge surprise. they knew the shutdown battle was not winning for them. for the first time they won the majority in the house. americans think republican control of the house is bad for the country. >> you will see, you heard senator ted cruz say i don't think this is my fault. look right there, 54% of americans think republican control of the house is bad for the country. 38% say it's a good thing. here's the number here. a majority. 54% now say it's bad a. pretty consistent number since the republicans took over, four in ten think it's bad. now you say a majority says it's bad for the country.
3:26 am
the mid-term election is a year away. plenty of time to work on the brand. they need, let's use the term a bit of a makeover. >> house speaker john boehner didn't come out of this unscathed either. taking a hit in polling, which i found it surprising, it was conservatives he stood with in this fight. what's the message from him coming from that number? >> 63% of americans overall say boehner should be replaced. he's the highest ranking republican. the liberal number doesn't surprise you the moderate number tells you losing a bit of the middle a. majority of the conservatives, are unhappy with their leader. he is the national republican party leader right now. so why are they unhappy? some probably wish he did more to fund obama carement some look more broadly and say why can't we get our priorities through, even though there is divided government. again, a long way to the government. the defacto nationally and the republican brand have taken a bit of a boating here.
3:27 am
mid-terms almost always, kate, are about the president and his party and the agenda. the republicans say that's a warning seen. >> it's still enough time before the mid-terms and a longer period of time before the next presidential election. hillary clinton back on the campaign trail. something for a long time friend and confident, terry mcall lica, why is she taking this time to get back on the campaign trail down? >> this is a case where personal loyalty and ambition go hand-in-hand. virginia is a traditional swing state. for so long, it was a republican state. president obama carried it twiets. in 2008 and 2012 when you look at the electoral map and you say how do the republicans take back the presidency? it is almost impossible without aching the state of virginia. bill clinton raised a lot of money thanks to terry mccauliffe. she is helping a friend.
3:28 am
she is also helping herself. if you look at the polls in the virginia governor race, terry mccauliffe has consistently been ahead for the closing weeks of this company. but there is a big question of energy, intensity, especially among women voters. so if hillary clinton proves she can turn out some votes. she has to make her big decision. >> obviously, you can't take too much from one message, one speech she is making on the campaign trail. what was she hitting on? are we seeing certain campaign themes we might see later on come up in this speech? >> i think you see the outlines of any democratic campaign, certainly the clinton campaign, economic fairness number two, who is on your side campaign a. bit of a, she borrows a bit from her husband in that degree. we will fight for you. terry will fight for you if you elect him governor. she is fought ready to say that quite yet, stressing issues of economic fairness in making a direct appeal to why government matters, especially women
3:29 am
voters. the northern virginia area will be critical in this race. this is a test of really whether she can translate personal popularity into intensity for a candidate. >> john, great to see you. happy monday. we were all over the country on election night 2012. i was in virginia. one of the key swing counties to track how it went that evening. it went quicker to obama than they thought. but. >> but. you never know. >> you never know. you got to watch it all the time. it will change now 2009 now and the budget. a good thing we got john king and you. >> and you. >> a lot of other headlines as well. let's go right to mikaela. >> good morning to everyone at home this morning. brand-new cell phone video showing the moments u.s. marshals stormed the motel room where two inmates in florida have been holed up. they are now back in custody, they're being held on one count each of escape. they are due back in court on friday. the department of corrections mistakenly released walker and

3:32 am
tension not in gen es. question. coming up on "new day," you remember when vice president dick kane was in office, there was so much speculation about his health. he was always dismissable. wait until you hear from he told sanjay gupta, he was afraid terrorists would hack his defibrillator. an incredible piece of art drawn over 11 acres of land. see who inspired the newly unveiled portrait. >> now, that's a report. that's what we're talking about. who's offering a rebate? your ford dealer. who has the low price tire guarantee, affording peace of mind to anyone who might be in the market for a new set of tires? your ford dealer. i'm beginning to sense a pattern. get up to $140 in mail-in rebates when you buy four select tires with the ford service credit card. where'd you get that sweater vest? your ford dealer.

3:38 am
years that cold wendy dry air out there. that's what we will be continually watching. if it is dry, you are fought seeing a lot of rain or snow out of it. in the next day or so, the dakotas, chicago will see a light dusting. >> that story will remain, that cold air spreading farther to the east. in the northeast, eventually all this will come as well. new york city, 65. look at that drop by wednesday. back to you, guys. >> all right. thank you very much. former vice president dick cheney is finally opening up about his chronic heart condition. cheney had his first heart attack at 37-years-old and four more followed until his transplant last 84. so now cheney details his health woes and triumph in a new book, "an american medical odyssey." sanjay gupta spoke with him for cnn's "60 minutes." take a look. >> you were instrumental and many decisions including going

3:40 am
>> no. >> you didn't know about it. you weren't worry about it? >> no. >> both? >> i wasn't worried about it. >> did anyone counsel you on ha? >> not that i recall. >> what about things like depression? >> no. >> that's all he wanted to say about that. what dick cheney was here to talk about was his transplant, detailed in his new book "heart." when you emerge from that gift of life, itself, there's this tremendous feeling of emotion but it's very positive. i think my first words when i came out from under the an set the tick, they said it worked great was "hot dam," literally. >> it's interesting for all we learned about the former vice president in the interview, there are mysteries around what he thinks. joining us now for more on these admissions and what we didn't hear is senator commentator david mad one served as a company spokesman for the 2004
3:41 am
bush-cheney company. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> we have to assume, as any normal person, the former vice president was very aware of his health concerns and frailties. let skip to the more central question. how did he deal with it? when you were around with him, he knew he was weak. it i had to be a ken for him politically and life lines, what hid did he project to you? >> i think that was about the interview how engageing he was and how enformed he was about his own condition. but as far as my working for him, the two things that were really never in question when we worked on the campaign were his stamina and his work load. i mean, that was something that was so obvious during the campaign. when we had company traveling through places like ohio, pittsburgh, really demanding schedules, the vice president kept up with that schedule. he had a lot of time traveling, a lot of time being briefed.
3:42 am
a lot of time being brophied before things like vice presidential debates and never showed any strains on his health. >> i get why he wants to blunt any angle about yes, i wasn't sure about decisions i was making, i get it, politically. from a human perspective, there may be a greater truth here. speak to me about this. cheney wrote a res ig nation letter in march, 2009, just in case he was ever incapacitated. what do you know about that and what was fuelling on it his side? >> i know about what we learned in the interview. i think that particular revelation became as a surprise to a lot of folks. at least those, not those, at least those like me on the company but were not in the administration at the time. i think what was interesting about that particular interview is how resolute he was in answering the question about his abilities to perform the role of vice president. i think that was the key to
3:43 am
those watching him. there was never any question about vice cheney's ability or competency. there may have been a little of fragility we had not known until this point. there are no questions related to his performance. >> you could say, imagine what he had done at 100%. he was more than capable of what was going on, even dealing with these ailments. were you surprised, kevin, to learn his cardiologist took precautions about terrorists who might try to hack his defribrillator. have you heard that? >> i am a fan of "homelands." i remember watching that a similar thing had taken place, i remember thinking it was far fetched. it is interesting to learn the vice president and his doctors and i'm sure many other folks inside the vice president'senner circle had taken that precaution. >> a quebec final thing. with the new heart, there is all
3:44 am
of this romanticism how we are hard, we use it as a metaphor for all time. have you detected, other than new vitality, anything different in the former vice president since the transplant? >> no, i really haven't. i think there is a level of clarity that comes from not having the burden of not being in elective office. with that clarity comes new candor. i think that's one of the things that has been new is that a lot of these revelations he makes and a lot of the personally that you saw during that interview is starting to come out now. he is willing to share his story more with many other american was are also facing similar health problems. >> right, getting that message out. kevin madden, thank you for your perspective. always appreciated. we will talk later with sanjay about the interview. there's the smile. kate, over now. >> let's go around the world now starting in australia where out of control fires have destroyed hundreds of homes and over 200,000 acres of land at this point. let's go to robin.

3:46 am

4:08 am
tactical training is times lost and lives lost the the additional time and training is a good thing, kate, really, let's back up, if are you addressing the problem at the time of the incident, you really already failed a number of other times, why don't we see these problems in mental health screening and employment screening. when you look at the navy yard shooter, there were indications of a problem with his security clearance in the ft. hood shooting in his personnel file, there were indications of problems and those pieces didn't get put zbloeth what we hear from security is that's the harder thing to track. that's not an okay excuse? >> that's right. it is the harder thing to track, there needs to be aware inside inside the system of an obligation responsible to put these pieces together. >> when are you talking about the training that the attorney general likely talked about to police chiefs today, more training sounds, more training of course always sounds better. is it feasible to roll this out
4:09 am
quickly when you talk about how many police departments are across the country? >> kate, most people don't realize. we are here in new york. you think of the nypd, there are little police departments in rural america. it will be much more difficult to get this capably to them, all way out to them. so what you will do is you will see a sort of waterfall strategy from major cities and training centers out, you know, outside the big metropolitan areas to these smaller police department, but it will be an imperfect system. >> what kind of additional training are we talking about? what do plartds do now that they will be doing. >> this is the close quarters, heavy weapons, where you worry about blue on blue, that is police officers shooting one another because they can't see around the corner. they can't see the target they're shooting at. it's the kind of weapons they use. kate the other piece is training people likely to be in the area
4:10 am
of a victim. right? don't be a stationary target. move, take shelter. get out of the way. so it's not just the police who need to be trained but there needs to be an awareness at, you know, in facilities. schools now do this. the shelter in place drills and telling people how to take care of their own safety, in an active shooter situation. >> it's unfortunate. it's true t. work place scenario, everyone nodes to be trained in how to deal with it. thank you so much. we will be following this story of course, a lot of other headlines makesing news. >> kate, thanks, so much. we begin with a collective sigh of relief in florida the late of a capture of two murderers. this cell phone video showing the moments leading up to charles walker and joseph jenkins arrest a. florida law official says it was a tip from a local associate. they are looking at how the men got their hands on these fornld documents to scour the release. france has summoned the

4:19 am
comment and then they posted all of that on facebook and she tells us her daughter would never bully. well, we saw the real truth. >> obviously, this is confusing. there is an arrest in the case. it doesn't have to do with the pane case. it has to do with something else. is in a function of other allegations that you had heard about. help us understand what pattern the investigation is taking. >> chris, we were investigating the bullying case. as you know, we made the arrest on the two juveniles 14 and 12 for stalking. well, energies by national networks of vivienne where she said, oh, my daughter would never stalk. she would never, ever do this we watch her facebook and immediately people from throughout the community were texting and calling and facebooking my staff saying oh,

4:22 am
kids, get on your eing will tyronic devices and say enough is enough. we're not going to bully anymore and if we do, there's going to be law enforcement officers that are going to watch and when we cross that loin to stalking, they're going to put us in jail and that's exactly what we intend to do if the parents don't create the line of defense, if the kids don't create the lean of defense, we're not going to allow them to torment children to the point they want to jump off a tall tower. >> sheriff, a culture of accountability. that's what so many have been calling for so long. we don't like to see kids punished or parents. we do need the bullying to stop. thank you for coming on the show and talking about this investigation. we will continue to follow the story. >> thank you so much, chris. >> all right. >> this is a hot topic. it always is. the solutions are difficult. the conversation is difficult. so let's keep it going. tell us what you think use the hashtag "new day." it's a time

4:30 am
well as falsifying documents. meanwhile, thousands of calls are pouring into a hot line established to try and find this girl's real parents but at this point there seems to be more questions than answers surrounding this child and where she comes from. she is known as maria, the little girl at the center of an international mystery. just who are her parents and why was she found living in a gypsy campsite in greece. investigators were carrying out a routine inspection of an encampment, they noticed maria, her blond hair and blue eyes were striking. she looked nothing like the 39-year-old man and the 40-year-old woman claiming to be her parents. dna tests later confirm the investigator's suspicions. >> they were in bad conditions, poor high giant. i saw the girl was harmed, in a state of neglect, but physically
4:31 am
and psych lonlically. >> reporter: the man and woman were arrested on suspicion of abducting a minor t. campsite is now under investigation t. couple's lawyer don'ts the charges. >> our client's claim is we never abduct this child. we just adopted and with a way, non-legal arrest that's where we can confess. >> reporter: police have lawn laed an international appeal and asked interpol to find her real parents. when it broke, it remained many of the disappearance of madeleine mccann in portugal six years ago. no trace of her has ever been found. >> i had hoped something like this would fwif if mccann's enough hope and encouragement that they renew their strength for the tr fight. >> reporter: now the lawyer for this couple says that a

4:33 am
they have, in 2010, 5,355 victims of human trafficking were identified and 17% of those were girls. so it is a very real possibility. there is no question about that. >> do law enforcement not have the tools or is it just difficult? are these difficult cases to crack? why is it such a problem? why can't they get more of a hand him on it, do you think? what do they ned to do more? >> it's only been identified in recent years as large a problem it is. i think authorities all around the world are doing everything they can to wrap their arms around the issue as it really exists. for instance in the united states, it's only been a legislative providerty isn't it the 842000. we have only identified it as being a domestic priority i'd say in the last five years. so it's a matter of finding out exactly who are these criminals, what are these rings? what are the purposes of the

4:35 am
they say 1,800 calls have come in to help reunite this child with her parents. how important is the community and what does the community need to lock out for in this situation? >> well, the community is everything. we're the eyes and ears for law enforcement. it's been in the last several weeks since the re-investigation of the madeleine mccann case that people have really been talking about child sex trafficking or child trafficking adoption trafficking even in the world. so i mean, this is just another added layer on this. people have to unt we need to participate. we need to get involved. if we see something suspicious, we need to report that to law enforcement so they the get to the bottom of everything, where in this case, obviously the little girl did not lock like the parents. it turned out, in fact, she wasn't. and it turns out these people are hiding something or they would have come back with the truth. >> one situation, it can't be

5:06 am
those are u.s. marshals. >> reporter: for the two convicted killers this cell phone video shows the moment it ended, hand cuffed and shackled, they said little during their first court appearance after being arrested. >> we got information they were here. >> reporter: the two were waiting for a ride to atlanta in this panama city beach hotel when they were busted. they were detained without incident. florida officials addressed the bureaucratic blunder. the two convicts were accidentally released after showing forged paperbourque. apparently this had happened twice before. >> the process and the procedure that will prohibit this from happening in the future. >> reporter: law enforcement launched an investigation to figure out how gen kibz and walker duped the system and
5:07 am
obtained the fake documents. >> there is speculation, an underlying speculation that there was a source where for certain some money that these documents could be constructed for $8,000, whether that is true or not will be determined. >> reporter: cnn legal analyst mark o'meara says they had to have help. >> somebody in the clerk's office, somebody in the courthouse, maybe somebody in a state attorney's office position, a secretary maybe who can actually get paperwork done. >> reporter: standing in his father's grave, robert pugh chokes up while his father's killer charles walker was on the on he struggled reliving his family's nightmare. >> he had no remorse when he killed our father in front of us for the first time. >> reporter: police are promising to hold all those contributed accountable.

5:09 am
the washington, d.c., navy yard, police response was considered extremely fast. >> within seven minutes had officers at the building. >> reporter: that's half the time of the national average response but 12 people still died and from what we know about the horrific school shootings at sandy hook, connecticut, and aurora, colorado and columbine, time is of the essence for officers arifg on the scene because so much carnage can happen so fast and he says the first officer on the scene if he or she is alone is expected to wait for help. >> respond once your backup arrives and use a contact cover approach so you're not on a suicide mission. >> reporter: but sometimes those first officers on the scene end up waiting for more highly trained special weapons and tactical teams to arrive and that adds up to precious minutes which could cost lives. attorney general eric holdler
5:10 am
call on the international association of chiefs of police to consider new training for all officers, so that the first ones to get there can possibly take out an active shooter on their own, without waiting for the s.w.a.t. team to arrive. chris grolnik focuses on teaching regular people what to do to protect themselves before the police get there. he says people who work in places where it could happen could use some training, too. >> get up and move, do not become a victim, react by escaping the threat. >> reporter: despite all you hear on the news, mass shootings are extremely rare compared to other u.s. crimes but it's so horrific when it hands that the attorney general is expected to make his call to law enforcement today to the national association of chiefs of police in philadelphia to try to speed up the time it takes to engage active shooting suspects. back to you guys. >> all right, joe, thanks so much for that. watching that, let's get over to michaela for the headlines making news this morning. >> let's look at the headlines.

5:19 am
the administrations had yet to figure them all out. i'm putting in my county for i think the fifth time. it took me two weeks trying all times of day and night until i finally was able to logon and start filling out my application but the glitches continue. every time i logon, for example -- it keeps putting me back up here. i have to fill out this same page again and again. >> it's been a fiasco. send air force one out to silicon valley, load it up with some smart people, bring them back to washington and fix this problem. it's ridiculous and everybody knows that. >> reporter: the department of health and human services does seem to be trying. on sunday the agency wrote "our team is bringing in some of the best and brightest from both inside and outside government to scrub in with the team and help improve healthcare.gov." the administration released one key figure showing people filed nearly half a million applications for health insurance so far but by cnn's
5:20 am
own calculation, more than half of that total comes from the 14 states running their own websites, not healthcare.gov. in fact, just one state, new york, accounts for more than a quarter of all applications, and yes, they have their own website, too. now if you look at the healthcare.gov home page this morning, there's a green button that says "apply by phone." you've always been able to do it but now they're calling attention to it. i have spent a lot of time on the phone with the operators over the past few weeks. you can see it right there and those operators are very helpful and they do answer very quickly, at least that's been my experience. kate? >> i'll take it. elizabeth, thank you very much for the reporting. still why, why? the question of why, we're hearing about the fwlicglitches why they're going on. obama care was the, if not a central issue in the 16-day government shutdown, leading the charge against it republican

satisfied with that. >> reporter: but on a practical level what is frustrating many of your colleagues they think you are turning your eyre on them instead of helping to try to elect more republicans to do what you want to do and i know you say that you're not endorsing any primary candidates but your tactics are being used as fund-raising tools for the very groups that do fund those primary candidates. >> reporter: look my eyre is focused on obama care because it's not working and hurting the american people and i don't think it's acceptable. i'm not willing to go to the texans who elected me and say, well, you're hurting because of obama care but i wash my hands. there's nothing i can do about it. i'm not going to stand up and fight. i'm not willing to tell that to my constituents and i am encouraging senate republicans to stand together for principle. >> reporter: to those who say you tarnished the republican brand, you set the republican party back in efforts to maybe retake the senate, maybe get in the position where a republican can win the white house in 2016? >> the single most tajjing thing
5:23 am
that happened to republicans for 2014 is all of the senate republicans coming out attacking the house republicans, attacking those, pushing the effort to defund obama care and lining themselves up opposite the american people. i'm hopeful that will change. i'm hopeful there will be some times, some reflection and senate republican also come back to the principles they believed and campaigned on, i'm hoping they'll put action behind the campaign promises. coming up next the form d.c. school chancellor took a lot of heat in 2009 for the groundbreaking teacher evaluation program. did it improve teaching quality, the objective? we'll talk with her next about a very interesting study.

5:29 am
her one of the most polarizing figures in all of education. tasked with turning around a failing school system, where many students had below average scores on standardized tests, rhee started impact, the first education system of its kind, awarding bonuses of up to $25,000 for teachers being highly effective and firing others for sub par performance. these ratings based on student's test scores and classroom observations. >> the mayor's main priority is to make sure that we have a high quality teacher in front of every single child and every single classroom, every single day. >> reporter: since rhee introduced the program in 2009, nearly 500 teachers have been terminated, the shakeup sparking a heated debate. >> all i hear is layoff, layoff, layoff. teachers. >> who is going to teach our kids in. >> reporter: according to a new study researchers at stanford and the university of virginia say rhee's impact system worked,
5:30 am
that it improved the effectiveness of the d.c. public school teacher workforce through its promise of rewards and consequences. the study also found that within two years teachers with one minimally effective rating would likely quit whereas those who ranked as highly effective often stayed, improving their skills, adding up to $27,000 to their base salary for a second top rating. >> let's bring in michelle rhee, joining us live from sacramento this morning. thank you for coming in. >> thanks for having me. >> of course. i remember, i interviewed you years ago when this was first just going into place in washington, d.c. you have been both celebrated and sharply criticized for your methods. now on the heels of this study, what do you hope people take away from it? >> well i think the message here is that investing in teacher effectiveness really does work. the bottom line is that we have to ensure that our kids have the
5:31 am
most effective teachers and one way is to elevate the teaching profession making sure that you're recognizing and rewarding the most highly effective teachers, and that in effect teachers you have to ensure that they're quickly improving their practice. >> what do you say to critics who say the incentive structure is wrong, incentivizing teacher this is way will push some of them to maybe cheat or push the students too hard, having it in such a results testing-based system that the incentive structure is off? >> well, we have to think about what our jobs are, and for a teacher every day, it's ensuring that their student achievement levels are increasing for the kids in their classroom and so by measuring that it makes good common sense. we want to make sure that kids are learning every day, that they are gaining the skills and knowledge that they need and we have to be measuring that. >> so it will not surprise you, this study is has not quieted your critics.
5:32 am
randy weingarten of the american federation is quoted "how can anybody possibly conclude the impact system is good if the evaluation system you create fails to improve student achievement you must question the value of the evaluation system." this study is silent on how the impact system improved student achieveme achievement. it t does not measure that in this study. is it missing that key bit of proof? >> well, it doesn't measure that in this particular study but all you need to do is look at the data. and you know, if you look at the data in d.c., over the last five years from 2008 until 2013, the system has actually almost doubled the academic achievement levels of kids in math, for example, it's gone from 27% of kids proficient in math to nearly 50%. now 50% still isn't high enough. we have to get higher, but it certainly is an enormous improvement over where the district was currently, and you
5:33 am
know, quite frankly i would say that i'm a little disappointed that randy weingarten isn't acknowledging it is her teachers that have seen this growth with the kids and i think they should be celebrated for that. >> since you put this system into place houston, memphis, several other cities have put in place similar systems. do you think the impact system that you have created is suitable for all kinds of school districts? many say a one size fits all approach does not work in terms of how you evaluate teachers. >> well, the obama administration in race to the top have been advocating for states to ensure they're putting place similar teacher evaluation systems and i think systems like this can work but it really requires an investment. it's not just a law that you can put in place. it really requires a tremendous amount of thought, of customization for each state to take this on, but we didn't just
5:34 am
have a system that said well, teachers are either highly effective or not. we had an entire system that incented teachers to do well who were at the top of the range, but we also ensured that for people who weren't performing where they needed to be that there was robust professional development in place for them as well. >> so this groundbreaking program system for how you ran d.c. public schools this is what many associate with your name. you've since left d.c. schools and taken on new challenges. how will you continue to impact students' lives since you're not involved with the school system now is. >> my new organization students first actually advocates to put laws and policies in place across the country, we're active in 18 states across the nation and part of what we're trying to do is get states to adopt teacher evaluation systems like impact to put in place things like pay for performance systems for the most effective teachers, so we're still working harold every day to make sure that every child in this nation can
5:35 am
receive a high quality education. >> that is a goal that everyone should be focusing on, that's for sure. michelle rhee, great to see you. thank you for coming in. >> thank you. >> we want to hear what you think about the new study and how to fix the public schools in our country. make sure to tweet us wit with #newday. chris? remember when vice president, former vice president dick cheney was in office, there was speculation about his heart and health and always had that strong front? he's making surprising revelations about his heart problems. he has a new book out and sat down with sanjay gupta and will tell you things you haven't heard before. also peyton manning returns to indianapolis stomping grounds wearing another team's uniform. he got a warm welcome but the night belonged to someone else -- the jets. l.

♪ just another manic monday never been a big bangles fan but the truth is the truth. >> absolutely right. >> let's get over to indra petersons for a check of the weather. >> who's not a fan of "manic monday." it's awesome. come on. there is a chill out there. if you were in the northeast it was a gorgeous weekend, temperatures ten degrees cooler than last week but all of that is about to change. take a look now into the midwest. temperatures are really going down, thanks to a the love cold arctic air that settles in. we're starting to see that pattern change we typically see in the fall. minneapolis 39 degrees, that is your high. it's actually 17 degrees below average, even for you. chicago today your high 49 degrees, 11 degrees below average and out toward st. louis about 55. so this is something we'll start to get used to here a series of cold fronts continue to make their way across, did want to point out the third one in the line, this is an alberta
5:40 am
clipper. a lot say what is that, it is a low that comes from alberta, canada. cold continues to make its way in. it is dry, goes over land and cool temperatures and not really a lot of snow with it so that's the big story, windy temperatures just a couple of flurries in central and northern minnesota. flurries yesterday and today in the dakotas. the story will remain the mild temperatures heading up toward new york city you'll see by wednesday we'll going from above average temperatures to below average so just some low 50s out there, boston same thing on wednesday you'll go from 68 to 50 and d.c. also looking for highs. so we lucked out. it was nice all season long, we're starting to see where we should be this time of year and a little cooler than that. >> thanks, indra. we're going to talk about dick cheney now. why? the former vice president suffered his first heart attack at age 37, four more followed along with countless procedures and high-tech fixes. there was always mystery
5:41 am
surrounding how he handled it and the impact. now an entirely new heart and entirely new point of view on everything the former vice president is opening up about his health odyssey in a "60 minutes" interview with our chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta cheney said his health didn't affect his performance in the white house. take a listen. >> you were instrumental in many big decisions for our country including going into afghanistan and iraq. >> and terrorist surveillance program and enhanced interrogation. >> terrorist surveillance programs. wire tapping, enhancement interrogation. you had four heart attacks, three catheterization, a defibrillator, bypass surgery. >> right. >> did you worry about your physical health impacting your judgment, your cognition? >> no. >> not at all? >> no.best you could be? >> i was as good as i could be given the fact that i was
5:42 am
60-some years old at that point and a heart patient. >> reporter: cheney didn't want to acknowledge numerous studies that show a connection between severe heart disease and memory loss, depression, a decline in decision-making abilities, and impaired cognition, or that he could be one of the many patients vulnerable these side effects. did they talk about potential side effects because of limited blood flow to the brain on cognition, on judgment, was that something that you had heard about in any way? you didn't know about it, weren't worried about it? >> no. >> both you didn't? >> i wasn't worried about it. >> did anyone counsel you on it? >> not that i recall. >> what about things like depression? >> no. >> reporter: and that's all he wanted to say about that. what he was here to talk about was his transplant, detailed in his new book, "heart." >> when you emerge from that gift of life itself there's this tremendous feeling of emotion, but it's very positive.
5:43 am
i think my first words when i came out from under the anesthetic and they said it worked great was "hot damn," literally. >> hot damn. let's bring in chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta. great to have you with us. >> good morning. >> in the interview you were focused on what he knew or should have known about how his condition could affect his life and his thinking. why was it so important to you? what message do you want to come out? >> well, part of it, there's no formal process for vetting a president or vice president, so even though we talk a lot about their health and other things when they're running, there is no formal process so wanted to find out was there an impact physically or psychological by given the fact he had a significant heart disease going into office did it interfere with the medications he was taking or impact on cognition and judgment. there are a lot of studies in this area and given he had such an important job i wanted to see
5:44 am
what the interplay was between his job and his health. >> at this point, you gained access to the former vice president that many people do not get. take us behind the scenes. what was it like? you went to his home, how does he seem now in this very new phase of his life? >> well you know, there was a time three years ago when he really looked very sick. i mean, he made this mention that people would gasp when they would see him because we lost so much weight. look at him now. he's back to a healthy weight, the color is back in his skin. we walked around, he had no shortness of breath. he looks good physically for sure. there was a little bit of a funny story when i got there, i was told ahead of time as you are sometimes it's going to be casual interview, you should wear a collared shirt and a sweater, something like that, so i show up at the house and of course he has a jacket on and all the producers start to get very nervous and do you have your jacket? i didn't have my jacket, they were trying to find if one of their jackets fit me, all this back and forth and he came down, he said don't worry about it at
5:45 am
all, let's sit down and talk so he was very relaxed and looked good physically. >> he did. >> it's great to hear that his health is back under control. but i do want to finish on this point, very often, sanjay, it's important for people to understand the reality of conditions and there's few things as debilitating as a heart disease. do you believe that the vice president was basically just holding firm to his strong exterior about what he wants people to think about how he handled it and what it meant? do you think there's something there that we're not hearing? >> no. he didn't sort of strike me as sort of thumping on the chest. i sort of dealt with this better than other people. i think part of it was he truly didn't think about it. when you look at the studies that i was talking to him that look at after open heart surgery and cardiac standstill, all of these things what the impact on the body and mind can be, but i think he just truly believed that, a, hard work actually helped him, didn't hurt him in
5:46 am
terms of his health and b that heart disease had no impact. he would have done things exactly the same way if he didn't have a heart problem. >> you said it in the interview, and i think you're absolutely right that cheney is an example of modern medicine at its best and finist. it is amazing how every time he came up against an obstacle, it seemed that a new invention, a new development came about right at that time. >> yes, sometimes just in time for him. and he sort of described it as he would drive down the street and all the lights would look red. as he approached them they would all start to turn green, that was his metaphor for him. >> good metaphor for sure. sanjay, great interview. thanks so much. coming up, peyton manning may have gotten a warm welcome when he returned to indianapolis from the fans but on the field a bit of a different story thanks to a little thing called luck. >> and the new york jets. i'm going to say this every time there's football today. story about the waitress to
