-- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com out front next, george zimmerman arrested and charged. >> he had broken a table and at one point pointed a long-barrelled shotgun at her. and toronto's crack-smoking mayor acts out again and again. >> i didn't push her. plus lady gaga's revelation. >> i was smoking up to 15 to 20 marijuana cigarettes a day with no tobacco.

and her reason why could affect the way that pot is viewed in america. >> let's go "outfront." good evening, everyone. i'm erin burnett. out front we begin with george zimmerman busted again. arrested on domestic violence charges after he allegedly pointed a shotgun at his new girlfriend. he's being held without bail in the seminole county jail. tonight he was acquitted in july of murdering treyvon martin. he's had multiple run ins with police. we want to begin with david mattingly "outfront" in sanford, florida. david, you were in that courtroom every day during the trayvon martin case. george zimmerman seems to have had a lot of trouble staying out of trouble. what are all the charges and allegations here? >> reporter: the one thing everyone was saying about george zimmerman after he was acquitted was that he needed to disappear. and for some reason now he has been completely unable to do that. now he is facing some very

serious charges as a result of this police call that includes aggravated assault, domestic violence and battery. criminal smis mischief. the aggravated assault by itself carries eight years in prison if he is found guilty. so these are very serious charges. right now we are waiting for the sheriff's department to actually finish their search of the premises there. and here's what the sheriff had to say just a short time ago. >> when we arrived the victim in this case told me that she and zimmerman were having a verbal dispute. at one point he pointed a long-barreled shotgun at her. >> i'm told that we do now have the 911 tape recording of the call from george zimmerman's girlfriend in an aggravated state at the time when she was describing to

authorities that george zimmerman had pointed a shotgun at her, barricaded the door behind her. we have that 911 tape now. let's listen to that. >> 911. police, fire, or medical? >> i need police right now. >> okay. what's your address. >> you're the one breaking stuff in my house! >> ma'am? what's going on? >> he's in my house breaking all my [ bleep ] because i asked him to leave. he has a freaking gun breaking all my stuff right now. i'm doing this again. you just broke my glass table. you just broke my sunglasses and you put your gun in my freakin' face and told me to get out the [ bleep ] out because this is not your house. now get out of here. >> authorities say that this was the voice of samantha, the girlfriend of george zimmerman. this was her house where this altercation took place. and the investigators are telling us that george zimmerman they believe had been living at this location since august. erin? >> it's pretty incredible. a lot of people say it makes

think -- may make people feel differently about what happened in july when it comes to the treyvon martin gase. but this is only one of several incidents, right, since his acquittal? >> reporter: right. we've compiled a list. we talked about how everyone said he needed to disappear. well, here is evidence of how difficult it has been for him to stay out of the public eye. he was acquitted, of course, in july. the 17th of july he surfaced almost right away as helping a family out of an overturned suv on the expressway here in florida. then later that month, july 28 he was pulled over for speeding in texas. that's when we learned that he once again was carrying a licensed firearm with him at the time. then, again, in september, he was pulled over for speeding here in florida. then in september, on september 9, police were called to the home of his wife for a disturbance there. there were no charges there, but zimmerman was detained.

his wife claimed there had been an argument there and zimmerman allegedly smashed her ipad in that incident. we found out a few days ago that even the federal government, the federal authorities were not able to extract any files from that broken ipad. so no charges have been filed there. but, again, this, a new chapter now for george zimmerman and new criminal charges facing him as he stays in the seminole county jail again here behind me. >> he's held without bail. thank you very much to our david mattingly who's been covering the george zimmerman trial from the very beginning. and now the latest developments. our second story, developing story in toronto. the mayor. sorry again. this time rob ford's apology game after he started running during a city council meeting and took down a lawmaker in the process. take a look. the embattled leader who has

admitted to smoking crack says he was just trying to get to his brother who at the time was trying to get the crowd to stop taunting him. >> shame, shame, shame, shame, shame! and even though late tonight ford was stripped of even more powers as mayor, he is still not backing down. his canadian tv show ford nation airs tonight. he has a new reality tv show. right before that, our bill weir who has you know has been covering this story from the beginning caught up with rob ford and had a chance to speak with him and some of his supporters. >> that's semantics. >> it's not semantics. >> reporter: a lot of people are worried about rob ford these days. worried that he'll never leave office. that his appetites will kill him. but do you know who's not worried? rob ford. >> i'm not an addict. i'm not an alcoholic. i'm not a drug addict. >> reporter: and in the heart of

ford nation, they believe him. >> people with set him up too, you know that. >> reporter: oh, you think he may have been set up. >> he admitted to smoking crack. >> maybe he just get fed up of everything. >> have you purchased illegal drugs in the last two years? >> reporter: sure he may be a pariah on the city council floor and a punch line on "saturday night live." >> whoa, that's a lot of crack! >> reporter: but out of this suburban housing product, he is a rock star. he may be a fiscal conservative downtown, but out here, they say he's the bleeding heart they call when the eviction notice comes. >> everyone keeps saying rob is a conservative. he's a massive social liberal. he loves obama. >> reporter: counselor doug ford invited us here. and when his little brother showed up, we saw why. almost everyone was thrilled to see him. >> reporter: but do you realize how you're perceived around the rest of the country?

around the rest of the continent. >> they can make fun of me. they can laugh at me all they want. they don't know rob ford. these people know me. they have known me for -- i was born and raised here. >> reporter: why did you decide to finally admit that you had smoked crack? >> i'm not going to run around and be phony and be blackmailed. say they have videos of this and over my head and -- you don't trust what the toronto star -- i was sick of all of the allegations and all the [ bleep ]. excuse my words. that's all it is. sorry, i shouldn't swear in front of the kids. i made mistakes. i drank too much. i smoke some crack sometimes. what can i say? i made a mistake. i'm human. >> reporter: can't you see why some would question your judgment? >> just lie about it? just hide? >> reporter: that would you do it in the first place. >> i didn't say that. i didn't say that. you're wrong. you're wrong what you said. they said, do you smoke crack? and are you are a crack addict? no, i'm not a crack addict. have i? yes, i have.

i didn't lie. i don't smoke crack. i haven't smoked crack in over a year. >> reporter: that's semantics. >> to you it's semantics. typical media. you all are the same. you can spin it any way you want. >> reporter: at this point, doug tries to calm his brother. which as we've seen, it ain't easy. >> do you smoke crack? no, i don't. have i? yeah. i don't like people attacking my integrity. >> reporter: couldn't you be more effective if you were a little healthier? >> i'm trying to lose some weight. i'm working out. >> reporter: why not seek some addiction specialists? >> i'm not an addict. you can spin it. you can tell me whatever you want. this is the thing. have you ever got drunk before? >> of course. >> that doesn't matter. i don't look at myself as the mayor. i look at myself as the normal, regular person.

>> it's not about us any more. >> you know, that's enough. i'm passionate. >> reporter: one more question. and this is the one that really gets it for me. i know a lot of people who would party their brains out. >> yeah. >> reporter: but they're parents. i'm sure you're insulating your children from what's going on? >> absolutely. i'm the best father around. >> reporter: there's going to come a day when they google their dad. >> i can explain what they're hearing. i'm straightforward with my kids. i don't walk away from any one. all these rich elitist people. i'm sick of these people. they're perfect. they don't do nothing. get out of here they don't do nothing. they're the biggest crooks around. sorry. >> we support you. >> we love you. >> all right. so you had a chance to be face-to-face with him. to talk to him. what do you make of today's development, the late development we had which is the city council has voted to strip him of essentially his power?

>> i'm surprised he got three supporting votes. the vote was he and his brother and three our council members. maybe it's because he compared this vote to saddam's invasion of kuwait and vowed an equivalent of operation desert storm. these guys now think they can run enough ford nation populous to unseat all his political enemies. they're not just talking about surviving this. they're talking about annihilating their enemies. >> there's the tv show we have been talking about. a new reality show. >> reality show is the -- it's a talk show. it's a studio version of their radio show. it's a one off. they were given one hour tonight. if it gets huge numbers, you know, we'll see, sort of the fox news equivalent of canada which doesn't do all that well up there. his brother thinks he should be taking some time off and resting, and yet, they've gone on this blitz. including our invitation and all of this. so who knows what is next. who knows. >> still to come, obama care on life support.

our third story out front is the deadly tornados tearing up the midwest. at least seven people killed,

more than two dozen injured after dozens of torns suddenly touched down in five states. the storms left a path of destruction from missouri to wisconsin, knocking out power to hundreds of thousands of people soldier field even had to be evacuated until the storms passed. take a look at the size of the tornado shot by a cnn eyewitness reporter. you hear him praying. that's incredible, this picture. washington, illinois suffered the most severe damage, the f-4 tornado, which is the second most powerful rating, touched down and destroyed as many as 400 homes. i mean completely and utterly leveled. that's where our ted rollins is out front. >> reporter: just before the tornado hit, mary got a phone call that she thinks saved her life, a phone call from her daughter-in-law sue. >> sue rang my cell phone and asked if she could come to the

house. >> reporter: sue was with her ten year old daughter. just minutes after they arrived, so did the tornado. >> and i could see the tornado was starting to come down. and then debris started flying. so we quick ran in the house, grabbed flashlight, got downstairs to the basement. nancy was crying. she wanted to know if she was going to live or going to die. >> reporter: when it was over, mary says she was buried in debris. >> hot water heater, the copper pipes and all different things like that. and the water softener, those parts were all on me. >> reporter: and a concrete piece of her house which was ripped apart by the tornado was on her leg. mary says without sue, she'd have been trapped. >> she's my angel. i don't know how long i would have been there. because i couldn't have moved that concrete block myself. >> reporter: mary lost so much blood that when she finally got to the emergency room her heart stopped. >> and all of a sudden my legs felt like they were paralyzed.

and i hurt something terrible. and then i guess my heart stopped. i kept praying. and they put the paddles on me, and i snapped out of it. >> reporter: throughout it all, mary said she prayed. in the end she needed a blood transfusion, had a broken nose and a lot of bruises. ten year old lindsey had some bruises and a pretty good knot on her forehead. >> lindsey's the one i feel bad for. she'll never forget that. i still can't believe it. i just still can't believe -- i've never been in a tornado before. i never want to go through one again, ever. >> reporter: and mary obviously a fighter. she did not think it was her time to go, obviously. she fought through this. now she has to deal with the new

reality. and that is she's like hundreds of other people here in washington. she has nowhere to go. no home. she's going to stay with relatives until she figures that out. but obviously happy to be alive. >> of course, an amazing story. miraculous. thank you so much to ted rollins on the ground there in the hardest hit area by those storms. >> our fourth story "outfront," camelot takes japan. caroline starts her new role today as the american ambassador to japan. she says she's proud to carry on her father's legacy of public service. but some are angry, saying she doesn't have the diplomatic credentials to take on the job and that she got it as a favor president barack obama. we are "outfront" in tokyo. >> welcome to japan, ambassador. >> thank you. >> reporter: making her first visit to a japanese minister, a throng of cameras greeted new u.s. ambassador caroline kennedy before she even entered the room. since the moment she landed in

japan her every movement has been captured by a captivated nation, bringing a sense of wow to a diplomatic job dismissed as dull. >> for president obama to send her here, what does that mean to japan? >> simply put, it is going to be, it is the best gift heaven could only give japan. >> reporter: lest you think the japan's rep speaks in hyperbole turn on the television. her history and direct line to the white house all dissected and analyzed. but critics say beyond the kennedy glam her job is a crucial one. japan's is the third largest economy and the fastest growing region. japan is sparring with china and sparring with north korea. >> she does not have experience with japan. she does not have experience with asia. she does not have any track

record with any of the central issues that we're dealing with there. that means she's not prepared to play the leading role in japan on those issues. >> reporter: but it is the young caroline, the child of the president who was assassinated 50 years ago that japan remembers. president kennedy had been planning to be the first u.s. president to visit japan, but he was killed before he could make the journey. the very first live television broadcast brought into japanese homes, the very first images japan saw was a nation and two children mourning the president they never met. >> i was small, six years old, but i remember how stunned and awed and frozen the faces of my parents. my elder sister, and my grandparents were. >> reporter: what is it like to see his daughter fulfill his journey? >> well, it is, it cannot be timelier than it is now.

>> reporter: she will be brought in, erin, officially as the ambassador in the eyes of japan through a formal ceremony. she's going to be drawn through the streets of tokyo via a horse-drawn carriage. and this is a ceremony that's usually ignored by the japanese people. this time, erin, a small crowd is expected to gather. >> thank you very much. and something to be said for pomp and circumstance. everyone let us know what you think about that. obviously it does play an important role when it comes to diplomatic relations. still to come, the obama administration has set some lofty goals for the obama care website. we'll explain. why joe biden believes they will need divine intervention to reach them. and 3 million people displaced by the super typhoon in the philippines. this is new image when the storm

struck. these are just unbelievably powerful to watch. and a fan falls from the upper deck during a buffalo bills game. why he is the one in trouble tonight. i'm beth... and i'm michelle. and we own the paper cottage. it's a stationery and gifts store. anything we purchase for the paper cottage goes on our ink card. so you can manage your business expenses and access them online instantly with the game changing app from ink. we didn't get into business to spend time managing receipts, that's why we have ink. we like being in business because we like being creative, we like interacting with people. so you have time to focus on the things you love. ink from chase. so you can. as your life changes, fidelity is there for your personal economy, helping you readjust along the way, refocus as careers change and kids head off to college, and revisit your investments as retirement gets closer.

and welcome back to the second half of "outfront" on this monday. is the obama care website living on a prayer? vice president joe biden speaking with volunteers about healthcare.gov said, the truth is we're going to fix it, god willing. well, sometimes you need god. this comes as the obama administration says it expects 80% of people to sign up by the end of the month. obviously that would be a significant achievement. with nearly 4,000 dead and 3 million displaced in the philippines video today from a drone shows the scale of that destruction. take a moment to pause and look at this. this looks like what you might imagine something might look like after a nuclear war. tacloban city, as you can see, nearly leveled. this was a city of a quarter of a million people. the continued presence of bodies lining the streets in bags is a

krim reminder of the utter devastation. we have new footage by an aid work showing how strong the storm was. this is showing the surge as it struck and came in, washing away home, trees, lives. that aid worker and five others did manage to make it out alive. well, a buffalo bills fan who fell from the upper deck of raffle wilson stadium has been banned from attending future games. there's the fan in the upper left as you can see. looks like he's skating down. and then he tumbles over the side. falls on top of another man sitting on the second level which is miraculous that he was able to be okay. the man he fell on, though, experienced a head injury. the buffalo bills released a statement who said, we work diligently against those who go

"g" -- work against our rules. if the senate votes this week to pass some of the loosest restrictions yet to transfer prisoners from gitmo to the mainland for detention, trial or medical care. our political correspondent chris lawrence is "outfront." >> reporter: gitmo's future could be decided this week on capitol hill. and some of the prison's guards would welcome its closure. >> that is the biggest way to act out. >> reporter: it happens almost every day, the evidence stuck to cellblock ceilings. and along with the splashing comes a vulgar tirade. >> the most common one is [ bleep ], slut, they say things like i'll [ bleep ] all over your face. oh, you've had [ bleep ] on you, you're been disrespected or disrespected, nobody wants you. you're trash now. >> reporter: but many of the detainees say they're innocent and being held indefinitely without trial. pop singer esperanza spalding

released a new video urging voters to get behind the proposal to close gitmo. the song is aimed at a senate bill considered this week which would loosen restricting on transporting detainees, back to your home countries or prisons in the u.s. >> it seems to me that we're losing opportunities to gather intelligence. >> reporter: senator kelly ayotte wants to keep gitmo open. she got the fbi director to admit that his directors prefer long investigations. >> more flexibility, better for us. >> reporter: but james comey also said housing terrorists in a supermax prison like the one in colorado would not make the community more dangerous. >> i don't know any threat around that facility. we've housed some really bad people for a long time. >> reporter: a bigger concern is what happens to dee takenees sent back to their home countries. since it opened, 603 detainees have been transferred.

intelligence officials confirm more than 16% of them, 100 in all, returned to terrorist activity. but of the recent transfers since 2009, the number is much lower, about 5%. >> now this has been obviously a tough situation for the president. and there's a lot of other things going on that he's dealing with, with healthcare.gov the most glaring at this time. is this a fight he can't win? a fight he should be fighting now? >> reporter: the folks on capitol hill say the vote is going to be pretty close. it's going to be tight. the president has less political capital and less trust than he did before the health care roll out. but just this afternoon, jay carney publicly reiterated the administration's desire to try to close gitmo but he used the rationale of drain resources and tighter budgets not on the

humanitarian grounds but saying, this costs a lot of money, referring to the fact that the pentagon spends $2.5 million for prisoner every single year. so he's trying to appeal to maybe some of the republicans who are more fiscally minded to say, look, this may not be something we can afford to keep open for the long term. >> thank you very much. those numbers pretty stunning. >> yeah. and now our iktsz -- sixth story "outfront." cheney family feud. the daughters of dick cheney are clashing over the issue of gay marriage. the younger daughter, mary is married to a woman. the latest spat began this weekend. >> i do believe in the traditional definition of marriage. >> your sister, mary, who is married to a woman, put out this post. she said, for the record, i love my sister, you, but she is dead wrong on the issue of marriage. >> listen, i love mary very much. i love her family very much. this is just an issue on which we disagree.

>> mary cheney responded with another post on facebook saying liz, this isn't just another issue that we disagree. you're just wrong and on the wrong side of history. that's the kind of thing you might thing if you have that disagreement in your family you might have a phone conversation or sit down about it. you might not go to fox news and talk about it to the world. the question is, is this just a public airing of dirty laundry or a calculated political move? anna navarro and gloria borger are with us. public airing between two sisters that somehow went awry and is now in the public sphere or a calculated move to have this debate in the public eye? >> i really think we've been watching too much "scandal" or "house of cards" if we think this is a calculated move. i don't know a single political analyst who would recommend family drama as a good political move to win an election. >> even if it highlights your stance on gay marriage?

>>er erin, i suspect that the same people who oppose gay marriage also oppose family infighting and this scene that is going on. i think it's unseemly. it cut to the bone. it's a personal issue for mary cheney. she's got children. she's got a wife. i think it's hard to reconcile for a sister, your sister saying on national tv, i like you. i love you, i love your family, but i don't believe in the institution of marriage that you are engaged in. would that not upset you? >> it would be -- yes, of course it would. of course it would. i wouldn't talk about it on tv, but everybody has their own way of handling it. gloria, you know the cheneys. what's your take on the situation? >> these sisters are close. they've always been close. and i think liz cheney is stating a view that she has along with her father, which is that this is an issue that should be left up to the state. she personally does not support gay marriage.

this is now not news to mary cheney. i think there's a little of why are you shoving it in my face sort of thing. she has been attacked by a conservative political action committee in the state of wyoming on the question of not being conservative enough on the issue of gay marriage. she was asked a question on sunday. she answered the question. but if i were either of the cheney parents who kind of tried to break it up and sort of sided with liz, i think i'd feel pretty bad about it. >> and the cheney parents did weigh in. back in 2000, dick cheney said that people should be free to enter into any kind of relationship they want. he stood by it. he issued this statement. this is an issue we have dealt with privately for many years and we are pained to beit become public. liz has always believed in the traditional definition of marriage. she has always treated her sister and her sister's family

with love and respect. exactly as she should have done. compassion is called for. and liz's many kindnesses shouldn't be used to distort her position. i guess you have to assume this statement was read to both daughters before. >> i don't know what you assume. i think you assume it is true, they are pained. and the one thing that we know about the cheneys, they have been very supportive of both daughters in their entire history. so i think that for any parent, the public airing, much so at this level of an internal family dispute, has got to be painful. >> i think that statement by the parents was written for conservatives in the state of wyoming, because what it said was her many kindnesses shouldn't be used to distort her position. who are they talking to? they're talking to the conservative pact that's running these ads in wyoming. >> i don't know if you agree, but i think this strikes --

where the vulnerability is, how genuine is liz cheney being? because she's got the issue that also, mary cheney's wife would say that she's a carpetbagger, is she a genuine person from wyoming? is she a genuine person against same-sex marriage. that's the issue that they're going at. and they've struck a nerve. >> here's the issue that mary cheney raised in one of her facebook posts about her sister which is you're trying to unseat an older established senator because you say it's time for a change. you need new blood. and she said to her, well, if you really want to do that and unseat an established senator with new blood, why are you thinking like it was 30 years ago on the issue of same-sex marriage and that the republican party needs to move on this issue. and i would say about dick cheney, dick cheney took on his own running mate in 2000 and said, look, i disagree with him on this.

i think this is an issue that should be left to the states. there should not be a constitutional amendment. so their father has been very much in the forefront on this, i would say in the republican party in a way. >> thanks to both of you. and i have to say, i would love to be, you know, a turkey on the table at that thanksgiving. >> at thanksgiving? >> i don't want to be around them with forks and knives. >> they got to work that out. >> thanks to both of you. still to come, lady gaga discusses the dangers of marijuana. she says she was addicted to pot. you may be scratching your head saying how is that possible. we've all been told it's fine and that's why it should be legalized. dr. drew comes on to talk about whether her claims add up or not. a chilling video of a plane crash in which 50 people lost their lives. what investigators can learn about this video about what caused the crash. so my dog and i we're going to go find it. it's out there somewhere

spreading the good word about idaho potatoes and raising money for meals on wheels. but we'd really like our truck back, so if you see it, let us know, would you? thanks. what? i got this. [thinking] is it that time? the son picks up the check? [thinking] i'm still working. he's retired.

i hope he's saving. i hope he saved enough. who matters most to you says the most about you. at massmutual we're owned by our policyowners, and they matter most to us. whether you're just starting your 401(k) or you are ready for retirement, we'll help you get there.

we go to russia now where investigators are combing through pieces of a boeing 737 which crashed to the ground last night. no one survived. and we have new video into cnn

tonight from russian television stations which show the moment of impact. you see the plane coming down like a fireball. then you see that horrible explosion. nose first crash into the tarmac. i asked our phil black in moscow if investigators had any leads on what caused the crash. >> reporter: russian authorities say they are maintaining a wide investigation to try and determine the cause of this crash. they have confiscated evidence and fuel samples and they are considering the possibilities of boet human error and mechanical failure. clearly the pilot was in trouble in the minutes leading up to this crash. he was having difficulty getting the aircraft safely on the ground. he had aborted one landing and was coming around for a second when the accident happened. russia has a terrible record for air safety, but accidents like this here usually involve old soviet aircraft, in this case it was a 23-year-old boeing 737. boeing is sending a team of

people to work with russian investigators as they determine what precisely went wrong. our seventh story out front, washington state let its residents legally get in on the business of growing weed. the application to grow, process or sell pot is now available online. and despite entrepreneurs flooding the site there were no glitches with this website. and while it could mean a fortune for some, it could mean challenges for others. in fact, lady gaga recently spoke about the dangers of pot. >> with marijuana, you know, i actually decided to speak about this, because although i do think it is the best of the drugs to choose from, in terms of when you're playing around and experimenting i just want young kids to know that you actually can become addicted to it. and there is this sentiment that you can't, and it is actually not true. i have been addicted to it. i was smoking up to 15 to 20 marijuana cigarettes a day, with no tobacco.

>> and dr. drew pinsky is out front, dr. drew, she is confident about what she is saying. is she right? because the whole argument has been it is not addictive. >> oh, that is silly, it would be malpractice to say that cannabis is not addictive. and anyone that has experienced it and been addicted to it knows how profound that addiction is. and lady gaga is speaking from experience. and god bless her for pointing that out. which means it is a relatively safe drug, which means it is addictive and it's easy to tell you are addicted when you love it more than anything else and all you think about and it's what you're going to the. the thing about marijuana, even though some are addicted to it, could do fine for many, many years before they start to have difficulty. but eventually the high starts wearing off and they smoke more to have that high back and that's when you have difficulties.

>> and your point was, 15 to 20 marijuana cigarettes a day that didn't have nicotine in them. so it wasn't the nicotine. there is no way you would be smoking that many a day if you were not addicted. right? >> that's right. and of course she had trouble stopping. that's how you know you are in trouble. one of the comedic aspects of cannabis. it's a plant and an natural herb. has everyone forgotten is tobacco is a plant? people afraid we are going to see big cannabis just hike big tobacco. that's what people need to watch out for. >> what i'm curious, dr. drew, is the mixed messages people are getting, your scratching your head. people are saying wait, i've been told it was not a drug, quote, marijuana is not a gateway drug. marijuana is not physically addictive, anyway. why are we getting mixed messages on this?

>> it is so powerful, the mixed messages on cannabis, i have been treating this addiction for 20 years. and when people are addicted to cannabis, alcohol or cocaine, the drug they have the most difficult time giving up is conditions by. it's extremely addictive for some people. it's a small sub set for the potential for addiction. but for the ones who are addicted it is really tough. >> there was woman in hawaii, she said that tourists next to her we're smoking pot all the time. they were teenagers and had medical marijuana licenses. but that is what we're talking about here in places like washington state and other states. but now that medical marijuana is legal in 20 states, won't that mean more abuse? >> well, i'm not sure that is true, in the last few years, since cannabis has been medicalized in california, i have not treated one single drug addict who didn't have a prescription for marijuana.

so no one is asking a question, when somebody comes in for a prescription, are you a drug addict? of course they're not going to be forthcoming with it, either. i don't think it is significantly affecting my patients. but it is such a sham that all of my patients who are drug addicts have a prescription for marijuana. and oftentimes it is not their primary drug. they use it incidentally. i find it bad medicine that they are not checking the things they should be checking. >> thank you, dr. drew. a major milestone for america tomorrow. the 150th anniversary of abraham lincoln's gettysburg address. with 51,000 soldiers lost their lives during the battle that turned the direction of the civil war in favor of the north. 15,000 people were in attendance

to hear the speech. and this year, the speech is being celebrated across the nation. a project by ken burns invites americans to record themselves reciting the speech, including former presidents. >> four score and seven years ago. >> our forefathers brought forth on this nation, conceived in liberty. >> and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. >> tomorrow, the address will be celebrated during a celebration at gettysburg, where jim getty, will recite the speech that he has been doing since 1977. which brings me to the number of $100 million, the town says they expect to bring in that much money this year, thanks to the 150th anniversary festivities, including the an you'll reenactment of the battle of gettysburg. it is a booming industry. gettysburg is the most popular reenactment locations in the

united states. but there are more across the united states. 30,000 civil war reenactors are in america today. and out front, bringing the internet where it has never gone before. my mantra? family first.

the water. so what happens now? >> so alice will send a message from underwater and bob will transfer this data to the internet. >> reporter: after a few moments a message, first via laptop, welcome cnn. then, the mobile. >> this is the message i was waiting for. >> so when everything works, we're kind of like whoo! that's it. we got it. >> reporter: today lake erie, soon, they hope the internet will finally go where no internet has gone before. for out front, jason carroll, cnn, buffalo. and thanks for joining us, piers morgan is next. designed for men's health concerns as we age. with 7 antioxidants to support cell health. one a day men's 50+. and his new boss told him two things -- cook what you love, and save your money. joe doesn't know it yet, but he'll work his way up from busser to waiter to chef before opening a restaurant
