11:13 am
militants here happened sometimes daily if not weekly. it sometimes happens to keep the huge area safe for the whole period of the olympics. that's remote and we will see some violence. the question is does it penetrate the ring of steel where the athletes and tourists are supposed to be going. >> we have talked so much about this ring of steel. give me an example of how they have taken the security concerns seriously. >> we had a remarkable thing today. the torch moving through and you expect to see people lining the streets and they keep them from coming out to celebrate the arrival of the olympics here. quite the opposite. the torch is flown into the airports. the security convoy and it seemed a lot of armed men. it turns out that the stadium, the first people thought of it had a tv screen and it came out
11:14 am
and did all of that. that was the early place where dagestan would have seen it on that television or inside the stadium. they were inside and they were shipped there on a number of buses organized by the governments to the stadium. the roads to the stadium are locked down and hard to move around. they never pass through the main town with the bridge or capital of dagestan. that gives you a flavor of the sheer volume of lockdown. they are able to put into place. that shows you how they are about insurgents. it shows the bizarre determination to bring them right back in and they run the risk of an act occurring and that simply shows the russians and the insurgents too. they won't be riled by the threat of violence. >> in dagestan, thank you. coming up, the first lady reveals a guest list for tomorrow night's state of the

in the hours following. what is it that has this rap community in a firestorm about macklemore's win? talking to you because you also wrote a book with hip hop pedagogy. i know you have been all a twitter on this. when you read these back and forths with macklemore and kendrick lamar, why do you think he felt guilty that he won? >> because first of all he knew he didn't have the best rap album of the year. whether you like macklemore or not and i think he's a great artist and great album, but he didn't make the best rap al mum. kendrick lamar was one of the greatest rap debut albums in the genre 689. it was stunning that he didn't win. last night the grammys reenacted an old emergency ritual of white

11:39 am
that's debatable. we see it with elvis and justin timberlake. i made that word up right on national television. there is a whole tradition in every genre. we see it in blues and rock. it's frustrating. for the same reason that elvis is called the king of rock 'n' roll. it's now macklemore who is a rap artist and made album of the year. he had one of the best of the situation. >> i was reading the articles and brought the conversation out to your point. no african-american artist had a number one hit on the billboard's top 100 chart all of 2013. no jay z or beyonce or kanye. years ago, many had top hits. i'm wondering why. >> there a lot of reasons. i think the genre has bent a little bit. often times artists who would have been making number one rap
11:40 am
songs are making different songs. experimenting and playing and they are deeply seep in the genre. >> he was all over. with daft punk and other artists. justin timberlake was making hip hop stuff. he was embraced in a different type of way. i think that ebbs and flows. i wouldn't be surprised if in the next two years lil wayne will come back with an album or drake or i wouldn't be surprised if you saw eminem coming into number one. that's all possible. i'm cool with that. what i'm not cool with is when people take over a genre and lick wiidaquidate and we have a conversation about whether he is good or bad. macklemore is not the problem. it's the industry that doesn't reward. >> eminemification.

of a young girl in their office, really. then they have the gall to stand up and say republicans are having a war on women? yes, i think it's a factor. it's not hillary's fault. it is a factor in judging bill clinton and his strength. >> gloria borger in washington. you heard a little bit of the exchange with david gregory. when asked if bill clinton might be an issue. he said it's hard to tell the clintons apart. it does sound like he is fair game. >> well, it's things like rand paul seszing a message to the republican base saying i am very willing to go after the clintons. make that a plural. if hillary clinton welcomes a front-runner in the democratic party, that's what the republican base would like. in terms of this so-called war on women that we have been talking about or war for women or whatever it is that coming up

12:01 pm
>> well, brooke, in a situation like this, this is where police try to make sense out of something that is senseless. you are getting frustration from the police. they have the journal and say this individual who accomplishes this expressed general dissatisfaction with his life. speaking with the authorities not too long ago, they told me they didn't find anything that really gave him a clue about motive or why the individual did this. we may have a sound byte from the police chief. i talked to him a little while ago. can we listen to that? >> we received a number of items and included in that was a journal. in the journal, there writings that are clear he is unhappy with his life and where he is right now.
12:02 pm

campaign office, at what pointing the media. the congressman returned today from a 10-day official visit to egypt, israel and russia. he said with state department officials, the press release said he was with the media and conducted press conferences in every city he visited. the press release that was strange said this. reporters knew i was on a state department trip, but refused to admit the truth because it spoiled their stories. we decided to hold out and see how long they would pretend they dnd know i was on official business. we try to get them to verify he was holding the news conferences with them. they told them to call the house committee. we have not done that yet. we called and has not been on the campaign trail. he missed 17 straight house votes. he has been at mia for two

12:14 pm
what's going on? he kept coming and i said don't make this worse than it is. he kept coming. i was leaning in and he turned around and started walking. >> that interview broke my heart watching this on cbs. the treatment advocacy center several times, discussing illness in this country. post 1960s and the larger institutions were closed and the authorities never fully left a lot of mentally ill parents and kids with this one option. >> it's funny you say emergency rooms in the same context. it's kind of like what we have
12:15 pm
done. if we closed the our hospitals for people in crisis and people who need help with mental illness, by doing that, it puts the system into a hospital with noplace for crisis. just a place for people who could walk in and volunteer and say i want elective surgery, but not for people who had a heart attack or a broken leg or a car accident. now what we have is a dismantled system. the system failed his son. thousands of people every year. we closed the hospitals. now where do you go if you have a loved one in crisis? you go to the er. >> i think cbs did a phenomenal job of explaining. the issue is you can only stay there as you prove to be an imminent threat or harm to yourself or others. a lot of times you are out in an hour or a couple of days. they sat down and talked to the
12:16 pm
group of parents. one mother said she was at the er and wanted to keep her daughter there, she said you can do that, but you have to hand your daughter over to the state. that is an example of how broken it is. >> we have several levels of problems. you are honing in. they don't have a system. once you get to the er, there often no beds. then we don't have laws that recognize that people need help and we do have laws on the books that would make it possible to get people like these kids and these ers into treatment and instead of using them, the system throws up their hands and said they are not dangerous. we can't do anything. that's often not true. we put the laws on our website.
12:17 pm
people need to know the laws in their states. there ways. to use your laws to get treatment for your loved ones. >> we can do a whole show on this and we have. here's the other thing. the parents and the 60 minutes people asked what is the difference between your kids who suffered mental illness and those who have cancer. the parent said sympathy. there is no sympathy for the folk who is have a mental illness. how do we change it? >> that's a good question. >> when i was out there, it feels like america doesn't care. they care about lots of people with mental illness. until that changes -- >> we don't want to talk about it. >> we don't want to talk about it. you look at the homeless on the streets. they may not be the most attractive intelligent people so
12:18 pm
we don't help them. it's a combination of things until we say we care. we want a system to take care of our most vulnerable. this is going to happen over and over and over again. >> out of tragedy we know that state senator cares. they have come back out of two pieces of legislation. he went to extend emergency custody from to 24-hours and create a database that shows where available beds are. psychiatric beds nearby. you give me one example of something you would want to change. >> well, i'm thinking it's 24 hours that is not long enough. i would like us to have a set of laws that recognize when people need treatment, they deserve to get treatment. you don't wait for heart attack
12:19 pm
patients to be on the death's door before you give them treatment. they need the treatment laws that said if somebody is deteriorating when they need help, they get help. you don't wait until they are dangerous or dead. >> executive director of the advocacy center, thank you. coming up, announcing resignations today. when we return from his stint in rehab after being caught with cocaine, he is giving congress another go. why is he stepping down? a woman goes missing in a small texas town after two years, he was not a victim of foul play. no one seems to have an answer either. not even her husband. that story is coming up. i pr

12:32 pm
did they agree when they said nazi germany with income inequality is bad news. i don't know if anybody is debating that. that analogy -- >> can i call it that. >> get it out of your system. >> it's more than a bad move. it's immoral. >> got it out of our system. >> the sentiment is real. did you feel like the 1% is under attack this this country. >> it's an easy target and easy for politicians to tell you and sele you that the easy person is keeping you down and it's 1%. it's the constant attack and 1% of the people can relate to that 1%. it is the 1%. everyone else is an easy argument to say it so evil people on wall street.
12:33 pm
they are not paying their share. they deserve to pay more in taxes and they are the cause of your problem. in reality they have done nothing but be successful. >> while taking up a collection for the 1%, i will focus on trying to strengthen it. to build our economy. we want to secure the 1% growing in our society and we have to build the middle class. >> i agree with that rchlth but -- >> hang on. let me jump back in. we know the president in the stayed of the union tomorrow night, income inequality and always talking about people paying their fair share of taxes. are the wealthy being targeted unfairly? >> no question that the political rhetoric has been attacked. i am pleszed by my success in business. i understand some of the
12:34 pm
resentment. i think it has been too heated. we have to our fair share. the only ones whose salaries are declining has been the middle class. the 1% are growing dramatically. >> you can't attack income inequality. >> with research inequality. >> ben? >> i'm in favor of having favor in high school and teaching kids a trade to be in the middle class. here is the problem. if you constantly attack those who are successful and attack the immoral people, i never in my life have been hired by a poor person. i have been hired by someone who was wealthy. they create middle class jobs and the private sector. 50% of americans now for the first time ever don't pay any income tax at all at the end of
12:35 pm
the year. >> let's do a fact check here. people are not paying taxes not because they don't want to, but because their income is not at the level they are paying federal taxes. this is no question. i think my party is time to compete with the rhetoric. the reality is asking those to pay a little bit more in taxes to build on the middle class is not attacking them. >> they are all right paying a lot more. they are paying a lot more taxes. >> gentlemen, we have to go. ben ferguson, thank you so much. now to this. we told you about the scandal at carolina and chapel hill for alth lites at the university of north carolina and targeted by the whistle blower. a third greater reads better than student athletes. the admin has been defensive and may be conceding that it is a bigger problem.

the chairman of bloomberg is also a member of trustees. regardless of all of that, during the interview, they announced that the university will 4r9 them see who is behind the idea for the classes that so many athletes were taking. up until this point, it's significant. officials have told everyone including cnn this was all the doing of man. one professor who has been indicted by now. now bring to the bloomberg report, it seems that unc is admitting things might have been bigger. in light of all of that, cnn saying they reached out to see if they will be reopening the investigation. previously they found that it wasn't something they needed to deal with. it wasn't an athletic scandal. >> this whistle blower said these were created. the athletes with little or poor
12:38 pm
reading skills. >> right. the host attacked that whistle blowerer's credibility over and over. she talked to cnn. he has been attacking her and repeatedly mischaracterized her findings on the reading levels with student athletes. bloomberg took them to task on the way unc has gone after her. saying it was shooting the messenger. she works firsthand with the athletes and her stories she shared with us, they were very, very compelling. >> tough to think of them reading on the level they have been according to you and your reporting. stay on it for us. thank you. coming up, hillary clinton opening up in the q&a session. what was her biggest regret as secretary of state? that's next. sir paul mccartney and ringo starr together again on stage. the performance last night and what they are planning for the future. coming up.

"rolling stone" contributor joins me now. and it was fun to watch, of course, anthony. but i'm just curious in general, how often do sir paul and ringo communicate? >> there was never any feuding between paul and ringo. paul and john certainly had their moments and paul and george as well. but, you know, ringo kind of got

along with everybody and i don't think they are palling around every single day but they are on very good terms and pretty much always have been. >> you bring up john which leads me to seeing yoko ono in the audience. talk about the significance of seeing them together? >> everybody in the beatle camp is trying to make nice. in recent years, in the last ten years or so, mccartney has given some news that has stirred the waters a little bit but in the last year or two it seems like everybody has calmed down and really just trying to concentrate on the band's legacy, concentrate on what their remaining members can do, paul and ringo, and concentrate on the future and the legacy of what this band is going to be. >> we'll be seeing more of these two. i know there's an upcoming show

celebrating 50 years since the british invasion. anthony, what should we expect there? >> well, i think we're going to see a variety of celebrations. everybody is doing, i think, a beatle special. it was huge. it was a massive event when the beatles came to the united states in 1964 and performed on ed sullivan. to use the name game-changer is to completely underestimate what that event went. i think it's perfectly possible that paul and ringo will perform on that special and maybe they will even do a beatles song, which was a disappointment i think last night. >> i a i agree. i thought the same. >> i wanted to hear a classic. i totally agree with you. i wasn't around in '64 to appreciate the game changer nature of all of this but seeing them last night, we'll look

their crew on board and they believe they are dealing with norovirus. more than 600 people and 49 members of the crew have been affected. >> the nurse walked out and looked at everyone and said, if you're not sick, you have to leave right now because this is spreading faster than we can contain it. >> cruise officials making the call to cut the trip short. it's now en route to new jersey two days early. expected to dock wednesday. royal caribbean telling passengers they will be again stated. "closing bell" coming up in a few minutes on wall street. right now the dow is flat. take a look at the numbers. 2013, a great year for retirement accounts but an article today caught our eye because it says this could be the year that you find something a little extra in your paycheck. you like the sound of that, i know. christine romans has more. christine? >> brooke, for months ceos have been saying that they can't find enough workers for the jobs really in demand in america, which is why today's "usa

today"'s story caught my attention. 2014 is the year to ask for a raise. here's why. unemployment is falling, down more than 1 percentage point last year standing at 6.7%. as the jobless rate falls, the pool of available workers gets smaller and that your honor its the table for workers who haven't seen an increase in their paycheck in years. this is especially good for workers in boston, indianapolis, san francisco, cities reaching full employment is a rate of 5.5%. you might be thinking, what, i thought the biggest story in the jobs market was the longest term unemployed. that's true. those out of work for six months or longer, it's tough out there. there's a catch. those with the leverage are the skilled, high-performing workers willing to switch jobs or industries. high-skilled manufacturers, mining, welding, gas and oil business, software and just about anything in silicon valley. that's where you can ask for a
