and nearly $2 million on industry oversight. >> i don't think the people buying marijuana want the tax money to be used to discourage adults from buying marijuana. >> reporter: while not everyone agrees on how that money should be spent, and although still early, there's no denying the apparent economic boost. that's come from recreational pot sales. right now, colorado and washington state are the only places where recreational pot is legal, and washington is still working through how to regulate sales, but we know at least eight other states from california to maine considering this, and when they look at the kind of money colorado is making from taxing marijuana, you've got think that's going to have some kind of influence over their decision. fred? >> all right, thanks so much, ana. the next hour of the "cnn newsroom" starts right now.

hello again. i'm fredricka whitfield. the top stories we're following. busted again more than a decade after escaping from prison one of the world biggest drug kingpins is back in police custody. plus, the first openly gay nfl draft prospect and michael sam says he just wants to be known as michael sam the football player, not the gay football player. more on his first public comments on the subject. and -- ukraine's president vote ed out but talking tough as the country's former prime minister is released from prison. we're live from kiev. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com one of mexico's most know orrous drug lords is under arrest, joaquin guzman, better noern at el chappo, captured in a joint operation at a resort in mexico. guzman has been wanted on

federal drug trafficking charges, and has eluded authorities for years after he broke out of a mexican prison. as gary tuchman tells us, this isn't the first time he's been captured by authorities. >> reporter: this is el chapo guzman in 1993 after being captured. in 2001 he managed to escape from prison hiding in a laundry cart. marijuana, cocaine, meth, heroin and murder are all parts of his business portfolio. violence scenes like these. bodies stuffed in garbage bags, police executed and all connected to the sin of cartel. much of the blood is spilled here. the largest city in sina. lola. >> around here he is the legend of sin loa. >> that's part of the reason people are protective of him. el chapo was seen as a modern tay robin hood helping the

economy with drug money. a common feeling, leave el chapo and his cartel alone and he's legal us alone. see how they're idolized. storefronts bear the name of the cartel leader and it's not uncommon see el chapo printed on the tops of license plate frameses. gary tuchman, cnn, mexico. full coverage of this story with nick parker in mexico city and anna pa rerz in washington. evan to you first. what took so long? why has this taken so long? >> reporter: well, you know, he's been almost a mythical figure down there in mexico. many times the mexican authorities along with the dea's assistant thought they had tracked him down and found him. in 2012, they thought they came cloeshgs but every time he seemed to get away and there would be almost like, where's waldo-type sightings. he's show up at weddings or restaurants and people would tell these stories. he became the subject of

[ speaking in foreign language ] music in northern mexico. so as you could tell, there's a lot of mythology that surrounds him, and this time it looks like the dea along with mexican police have been tracking him the last few weeks, i'm told my forces and it finally came to a head where they finally were able to capture him. i'm told that part of this operation, again, that has been going on for several weeks, has been surrounding, you know, the capture of several of his most violent lieutenants. there have been several captured or killed in the last few months, and it appears that at least some of the information that they've garnered from those arrests and from those captures of those killings, has helped them track down chapo's men. >> let's bring in nick now. nick parker. what can you tell us from mexico city? what do you know about the circumstances of his jaeft because he's arrested in a place that usually is kind of a resort. was he on vacation, caught off

guard? what do you know? >> reporter: well, at this date we're waiting for a press conference from the mexican government which should happen any minute now and will give us more details in terms of the circumstances of it. what we know from sources in the united states is that mexican marines led the operation, supported by the dea. in an overnight operation, and they were able to apprehend him in a hotel, in this resort. it's an extremely popular city, in the state of sinloa, the base of his cartel and a base many u.s. tourists go to every year. even right now would be a peak time for u.s. tourists to go here. so i think that's one of the most curious and interesting things is that a lot of the mythology that surrounded chapo guzman is that he be found in a mountain retreat with a small, personal army. but it appear that was not the case and that he was hiding at least now in plain sight. fredricka? >> hmm.

and then evan, if i could bring you back into the equation. this isn't the first type captured. he was captured once before in mexico. we mentioned at the very top, he somehow escaped from that mexican prison. so do you have any insight as to how they will try to hold on to him, since clearly you know, he's got lots of friends? >> reporter: right, exactly, fred. this is, as you said, it's happened before. so what i'm told is that authorities are in touch with mexican authorities, u.s. authorities. they vetted out the people who will be able to have control of him. there is an outstanding order for him to be extradited to the united states. that's when he last was able to escape, in 2001. he was about to be sent to the united states as an indictment in california that charges him with obviously with drug trafficking and money laundering and a host of other activities. so right now there's a lot of authorities working the phones

try og to make sure that he stays secure and if possible perhaps get him back to the united states. getting him to the united states to face all of those charges that are outstanding, fred. >> evan perez and nick parker, thank you, gentlemen. appreciate it. all right. we're going to talk a little bit more about that arrest, and what's next later on in this hour. all right. and now let's talk about some sports. shall we? let's talk about the nfl draft, and also the winter olympics. all winding down. earlier, if you were watching cnn, you saw the potential nfl draft, highly publicized one lately. michael sam, he was taking to the microphones in indianapolis today in what's called the nfl combine, where all the college players go to kind of talk or catch the notice of teams or even scouts. joe cart ser is with me to talk more about michael sam. poised and impressive.

this is a big stage, he is enduring a lot more scrutiny than your average college player, right? >> certainly. boots on the ground saying more media attention, more media gathered for this press conference than there was last year at the combine when manti te'o spoke for the first time to a open room of media. he took 12 minutes worth of questions. 35 questions in all. this is a week where you the player, obviously, early 20s, you're under a microscope, being examined both mind and body. i us that michael sam, you said, very impressive when he got up to the podium and took on the question, and really, this was the first opportunity, the first step for him to be that first nfl openly gay player. this is a chance for michael sam to finally talk about michael sam, and here's a little bit of that. >> heck yeah, i wish you guys would just say, hey, michael sam, how's football going? how's training going? i would love for you to ask me that question, but it is what it is, and i just wish you guys would see me as michael sam the football player instead of michael sam the gay football

player. i love my fans. i love mizzou. one of the best, one of the best schools out in the nation, and then out there, what they did, this past weekend, was just amazing, and i wanted to cry, but i'm like, i'm a man. but -- so i didn't -- so i just -- i want to thank everyone who supported me especially mizzou, the students. my coaches. the whole organization, and every missouri fan, i'm a tiger forever. >> and address what michael sam was talking about, the baptist church protested on the opposite side of the missouri campus. the missouri student body through social media gathered thousands, 1,500 students or so, and they went arm and arm and create add human chain around the arena. >> that's what the image was? >> yeah. all wore buttons and shirts that

said stand with sam. i believe sam is wearing a button today that says, stand with sam. an incredible amount of support received from his university, incredible amount of support received from the athletic department and that's the suit the nfl needs to follow. whatever team decides to draft him in may needs to follow that same suit, because michael sam is an interesting project here. it's going to be a p.r. and media mess, as we said. it's a lot of follow. there's a lot of people interested, want to know about his personal life not so much as a football player because he is potentially going to be the first nfl openly gay player. >> seems he's in the driver's seat. he said he'd reveal. he said it's better for me to present it than someone else doing it and digging and later revealed. he's not ashamed, not embarrassed. >> the timeline how it broke down. he came out to his entire team in august. people suspected he was a gay play and so he decided to put all of those rumors aside and say you know what?

this is who i am. accept me for who i am and that football team competed for almost a national championship. in the sec title game and that close to being in the national championship game. it didn't affect how the football team play and showsality of respect for him, how the university handled it the athletic department handled and student body protected him and allowed him the timetable to come out when he was ready to come out tht he stands proudly and it really is impressive. michael sam. yeah. >> see how it works out. it's on the football field. we'll see how the draft combine goes and obviously the draft in may. >> not talking about winter sports. >> no. >> but we will. >> team usa lost the bronze medal game, for those wondering, 5-0. out shopping today, don't worry. not going home with a medal. it's over. men's hockey. >> thanks. a couple more day, winter games over. >> i'd sad. i'm always sadality the end of the games. like it. it's exciting. >> it's a sign of spring. >> oh, that's true. a sign of spring, around the corner. joe carter, thanks.

saying, look, the heroes who died here will never die in our hearts. what they gave in their lives, we must protect. also, trying to sound apolitical, not not part of ukraine's political -- it was a clear political message from her as well. i quote her, no ukraine but the ukraine want, and i am the guarantor of that ukraine. she apologized on behalf of all ukraine politicians and made political statements too. yanukovych, the current president, should be brought to responsibility for what happened here. gunfire from police that happied near the xwesquare and that couy should have an independent future. that suggests were she to get political office, we haven't heard statements, but from what we've heard, it may be headed in that direction, heading towards the european union. the other thing she said, look, you made this chang happen here. not the diplomats, not the politicians. stay here until you get what you want. so the idea of after hearing

her, the people are actually about to go home is perhaps a little distant, but i should add a note of skepticism, fredricka. this is a woman been in ukranian politics a long time. accusations, irregularities. been to jail, called a political prisoner by the united states. been on hunger strike there inn there and emerged in a quite different climate where the elite she was formerly a part of, under suspicion. trying to cast herself as a beacon of hope in a new generation, which is part of the old generation. much of the crowd will be listening to her words of hope and strctransformation recogniz she's part of that past too. definitely an emotional speech and also one which i think sets her up most likely for some future bid or offer. for now in a wheelchair. >> powerful stuff. nick payton wall nsh kiev. still ahead in this country a mom finds her daughter misbehaving on facebook and uses

12-year-old lutecia. >> don't get slapped because you're already in hot water. >> had already snuck back on facebook, talking to some young guy, and plotting a fight with her friend. >> reporter: that fight wound up getting her suspended when her mom lorraine found out that this all began online, then she decided to take action online. >> if you can get a child and expose that child to help that child, not to hurt them. i'm not out to hurt her. i want her to live. i want her to be somebody. >> now tell her that you're sorry. >> reporter: the video took a life of its own on the web garnering more than half a million view, thousands praising the mom for discipline tactics others taken aback by moments like this. >> the next time she's on facebook and i catch her on facebook, i'm beating the hell out of her. >> this mother is on facebook talking to her child like this, but she never said anything about my child on facebook under

the wrong name. never said anything about my child on facebook being a bully. nothing about that. >> reporter: also saying she doesn't hit her daughter. >> she doesn't get whooping. not getting beat or abused. >> reporter: regardless of the criticism, she's not letting up on her preteen calling it tough love for a cruel world. >> we have to save our youth. too many are laying in the street dead, because of gunshot wounds. too many coming up pregnant. >> okay. so was mom right or wrong? depends who you ask. and that's why we've got clinical psychologist dr. jeff gardere to help with those questions. you heard from the mom. she's gotten a lot of criticism. not necessarily about the facebook, not necessarily about some of the action in a her daughter apparently was involved in, but the fact that, you know, it was the second time around. if i catch you on it again i'm going to beat you. what's your take on this? what's right? what's wrong, in your view about this? >> look, i understand lorraine's

frustration with her daughter. certainly it is a very tough world. i don't nknow what kind of environment they live in. might be high-risk. she feels she has to take things into her own hands, but we do know by shaming your child into something, well, while certainly you're going to get maybe short-term compliance, when it comes to long-term compliance, it may not be there. you're embarrassing this child to the world, and, frankly, lorraine, doing her best as parent, is embarrassing herself, too, by making inflammatory statements. so it's not the best parenting, but certainly i understand her frustration. >> so is it your view that, i guess what -- what catches your attention most is that it's very public? had this kind of dialogue or interaction between mom and daughter been taking place at home, you might have less of a problem with it, but it's the fact that it has been showcased for all to see? >> yes. absolutely. i'll tell you what, i'm going to share a very personal story with you. when i was around 7 years old, i acted out and did something, and

my mom spanked me in front of my friends. i'm 57 years old now, and i still haven't forgotten that day. it was very traumatic. it didn't make me comply any better. it made me very resentful, but i think what we need to do here is to find out why this young girl is a bully. what's going on with her? this is something that mom needs to do. have that conversation. figure out what some of the behavioral issues and etiology may be and handle that situation then. i think that's the way that we raise the i.q.s of our children, by being able to talk with them and leading by example. not shaming them. >> sounds like this mom felt like you know what? by embarrassing my daughter in front of everyone, letting her know that, you know, plotting to bully someone, because that's the word to the mom, plotting to bully somebody is just not right. getting on facebook, talking to young boys is just not right in that mother's view and she felt she's already conveyed that to

her daughter and her daughter didn't hear her. if you don't hear me, i'm going to make sure you hear me by embarrassing you. you say that's not -- >> i'm not -- >> -- key? >> you heard what said? you're not going to get on facebook. now you're going to read the bible. really, what's the incentive for the child to do that? in fact, what mom is doing -- again, i don't want to criticize her, because she's doing her best, but she's also bullying her daughter in front of the world. >> hmm. >> the better way to handle it is to do to privately, and learn lessons from that. this young girl needs to learn lessons, and mom needs to model the behaviors. but, again, i don't want to shame mom, because i think she needs to learn a better way. we all do. parenting is a work in progress, fredricka. >> it's a tough job. all right. dr. jeff gardere in new york. thank you so much. >> my pleasure. all right. he is one of the world's most powerful drug lords on the list of "forbes" magazine's most powerful people, in fact, and more than a decade on the run,

it doesn't look like the controversy is swirling around new jersey governor chris christie have hurt his fund-raising abilities. cnn is told $18 million has been raised since christie took over at chairman in november. cnn political editor paul steinhauser joining me now. how does that $18 million compare to previous rga chairmen? >> here's how, a record. most ever in the first three months steering that committee. this comes, you mentioned, during the rga meeting happening right now in washington, and this is the first time chris christie's meeting up with fellow republican governors since that george washington bridge controversy went viral early last month. we know chris christie is considering a run for the white house in 2016 and taking over at the chairman of the rga was seen as a possible warm-up act for a potential presidential run.

the bridge controversy put a business of a question mark on his political future. one thing is for sure, chris christie can raise the money, he can bring in the bucks. >> they like that. so if christie does decide to make a run for the white house in 2016, apparently texas governor rick perry could potentially be a main poeoppone. a bit of what perry had to say to wolf blitzer about chris christie. >> we're on the same team, working together. let me tell you something, he's a kpecompetitor. i'm going to compete against him, against rick scott, against bobby jindal, nikki haley and jerry brown and pat quinn, and those guys are easier to compete against because of the policies they put into place. >> okay. so, paul, what does he mean why in? that he's in? >> what are you talking jab i thought rick per ray wry was ta

about 2016. no. he said he was talking about 2014. it seemed he was talking about 2016. the thing about rick perry, longtime texas governor, seriously considering another bid for the white house is not running for re-election at governor and said it's too early to talk about this. he'll make some decision at the end of the year. stay tuned on that one. >> and stay tuned to this. hillary clinton, is she, is he not in? and apparently just might if she is in, might have a supporter in senator john mccain? >> yes. straight talk from the senator from arizona. the republican senator from arizona, the party's presidential nominee 2008, on piers morgan the other night. get what, the country is not ready for a woman president. mccain disagreed. here's what he said. >> i would bet, my friend, as much as i hate to admit it, that right now this is why we have

campaigns -- but right now if the election were tomorrow, hillary clinton would most likely be the president of the united states. >> and you know, look at all the early polls. yeah. if you look at the early polls and believe them, take them way grain of salt, she is by far the front-runner in the race for the white house. mccain went ton say he wouldn't be her candidate for president. of course, he's republican. she's a democrat. >> all right. all so fascinating. paul steinhauser, always good to see you. coming up, the jury in the michael dunn case couldn't decide if he was guilty of murdering jordan davis. while some say the so-called loud music trial was all about race, one juror sees it differently. >> i never once thought about, oh, this was a black kid. this was a white guy. because that was -- that wasn't the case. >> and an exclusive interview with juror number 8, next. ameriprise asked people a simple question:

overseas assignments. bell brought in more than $800,000 in 2012 to reelect president obama. president obama promised to choose more career diplomats as m ambassador, but they found 37% of his picks since taking office were political o'apoint teens. that's more than president clinton and both presidents bush. the white house defended the pi picks. >> what i can tell you is that being a donor does not get you a job in this administration. >> reporter: career diplomat ronald neumann was u.s. ambassador to afghanistan. so was his father, a political appointee but one who wrote about and spent time in the middle east where he served. >> there's plenty of time for the highly qualified. there shouldn't be room for selling diplomatic offices to the unqualified as a political payoff. >> the nominees still need to get confirmed by the senate.

the foreign service association comes out with their own set of guidelines for ambassador serving overseas. they would like to get more career diplomats in these jobs, but any candidates should have certain qualifications including leadership and management skills and an understanding of international affairs. particularly the culture of and u.s. interests in the country they are serving. cnn, washington. this is something many dog owners have long believed, but new research finds dogs really are a lot like humans. turns out they know when we're sad. a dog's brain processes human voices in the same way that your brains do. and they can tell by the sound of your voice if you are happy or sad. and something tells me, my colleague don lemon is up next. something tells me your dog boo wants to be renamed boo-boo.

>> she's in the dog house right now. she had a little accident in her crate and she knows i don't like that. >> awe, boo. boo is so cute. >> people would never think that i would have a dog. >> i'm like don lemon has a dog? last time i checked you were anti dog. >> no i'm just anti marriage. >> and i can sense you were not a dog lover a few years ago. but i'm happy you have come around. because boo is too cute. >> she's too cute and she loves me when i get home. they are yelling at me in my ear saying get to the show. thank you, fred. have a good one. hello, everyone.

i'm don lemon. we're following a huge arrest affecting the drug trade. we'll take you there in a few medicines. first we want to tell you about a desperate search. an american student has been found dead inside a railroad tunnel two days after he disappeared. he was taking part in a semester long study abroad program and had only been in rome a little more than a month. we want to bring in alexandra field. what do we know about what happened? >> devastating end for this family. what we know now is from police in rome. they found a body in a railroad tunnel in central rome on friday morning. the body had been hit by a train. this morning his family was able to identify their son. his father had actually flown from new hampshire to rome to help for the search. he was at a bar in rome with a

group of students. his uncle tells cnn that some of his friends left. he stayed on. he wasn't seen after that. he's 21 years old from new hampshire. he was a student at bates college in maine studying abroad at trinity college. the family hoping for good news has heard the worst. >> are we hearing more from family and friends? >> they are not speaking publicly, but they put out a statement thanking them for a sport because there was a huge campaign on social media. we're hearing some thoughtful words from his football coach. he was a linebacker on the bates football team. want to read this. "john's commitment to excellence in all phases of his life was inspirational to the other members of the squad and a major factor in the team's success over the past three years." just one expression there of the grief that a lot of people are feeling now. >> very sads, thank you for your reporting. three fraternity brothers in mississippi are accused of vandalizing a civil rights

monument and now the fbi is getting involved. the fraternity is suspending their entire chapter after this. the three white students are accused of wrapping a noose around the neck. now we're learning about another racial incident that happened off campus. alumni say this is not the ole miss they remember. >> reporter: first it was a noose hung from neck of a civil rights statue. then a day later, an african-american student was called the "n" word and doused with alcohol from a moving car. >> when i heard it, i popped my head up and that's when --. >> reporter: police and officials are investigating if the two incidents are connected. but the race-related episodes around campus has jogged painful memories of what was once a

campus where racism thrived. the university's chancellor tells cnn the climate at ole miss is one of tolerance and acceptance. >> we have systemic racism in our country. we have it in this state. and we have it in this university. much less so than in years past, but there's systemic racism everywhere in the world. i wish that it weren't so. . >> why is it such a bigger deal when it happens here? >> because this university was founded on the principles of upholding slavery. >> reporter: she works for racial reconciliation. they work to support racial equality and help communities heal. >> i think quite a bit has changed here. that's not to say we still don't have a lot of work to do, but it's not the same university that it was in 1962. >> reporter: all of the students cnn spoke with say the alleged

actions of the three freshmen students is being investigated are not indicative or reflect everyday life on campus. others acknowledge there are some here who carry the values of jim crow. >> i wouldn't say it's completely gone. it's not like these events show what's not said. sometimes it's still in people. but it's not everybody. it's not an overwhelming majority. >> reporter: the university will seek justice for what happened. that could mean expulsion or arrest. the fbi has taken an interest in the case and are deciding if there will be federal hate crime charges. cnn reached out to the attorneys. one attorney got back to us saying his client did nothing wrong. the others haven't returned our calls. >> nick, thank you very much.

an american family is trapped near the violent chaos in kiev. we'll tell you about efforts to bring them home. first, huge developments in the bitter power struggle for ukraine. a nation that was part of the old soviet union. their president is no resigning even after the parliament voted to boot the president and hold new elections in may. we're not sure where ukraine's president is staying at this moment. the revolutionary hero, a former prime minister was released from prison. she got a warm welcome and told the crowd of 500,000 people you are heroes, you are the best of ukraine. let's go to nick paton walsh. what do you know about the president's whereabouts? >> reporter: we know he's in the east of the country. he release d a video statement calling what happened a cue and saying the laws being passed take him out of power on legal.

we don't actually have a personal guarantee as to where he physically is. there are suggestions that he may have tried to leave the country. that could be possible. i have to say, don, he looks out of the picture now really. there are no signs of security forces here in central kiev. we drove around a lot today. we saw one police car. protesters are running the streets here with sticks and he helmets and running their own local militia and parliament is moving full steam ahead to introduce their new series of leaders here. they have just called for new elections in may for a new president and said that he isn't doing his job and therefore is out of a job. so he's no longer president in the the mind of the parliament. that's what they have done. plus appointing a whole series of new ministers and saying that the speaker will fill the duties of the president until those elections. it seems like the opposition has swept in and used their new

powers on the deal that was signed yesterday with european diplomats. to make a whole host of changes here and render him irrelevant. it's going to be tough for him to come back. now the yes is where do we go from here? the former prime minister was in jail for corruption and litigation that america thinks was politically motivated. she's emerged looking frail, in a wheelchair. gave an emotional speech and i have to say a lot of people in the crowd remember her long history in politics. remember the checkered past, corruption allegations against here. she's not a saint at all, but she did cast herself as someone looking for forgiveness for all of ukraine's politicians trying to suggest that a new future could be ahead and staking a claim for herself in that future saying you people in the crowd will get no ukraine but the ukraine that you want and i'm the guarantee of that new

ukraine. a speech where she was very emotional. talked about the blood of those who died. tried to suggest that she herself was repentant for the decade she's been here. so much of corruption. and then trying to say she might be the person who could take the country forward. two other things she mentioned, the country might head in the european direction and that's been the crux of the issue. is this country going to face europe or russia? and she should face justice. she also appealed for the crowd to not go anywhere saying they brought the change and they should see it through to the end. a roller coaster of a day where ukraine has swep swept the old order away. >> the president is not resigning. not resigning, correct? >> reporter: that's right.

he said he will not resign. the issue is parliament have said that doesn't matter. you're out of a job. they have effectively sacked him bypassing a whole new load of laws today which say it doesn't matter whether or not you say you're president. we are the newly empowered parliament because he agreed to change the constitution when he signed a deal yesterday. we're newly e empowered. you're out of a job. we're moving ahead without you whatever you say. >> nick, thank you very much. an american couple from kansas is holed up in a hotel a mile from the violence. they just adopted four children in that nation. three girls and a 9-year-old boy. don jenkins talked about the ordeal via skype. >> really don't have a means of protecting them other than keeping them off the streets and depending on facilitators to relocate us if necessary. we have to be careful around

them. we can't ak as if we are worried because they will see that in us. >> the adoption process is complete, but the children need new passports before they can leave ukraine. many government offices are closed. pat roberts' office is trying to help the children get new passports so they can leave. a major bust in the u.s. drug trade. back in police custody in mexico. a live report is next.

of planning involving agencies in the skpus mexico. he's only 5'6". our nick parker joins me now from mexico city. how big of an arrest is this, nick? >> reporter: don, this is a hugely significant event. as you say, he's arguably the world's most notorious drug lord and just appeared in the last hour at a navy hangar here in mexico city being paraded in front of the cameras. that's his first public appearance in something like 20 years. a symbolic moment for mexico to see the man who has been wanted for so long finally in custody. they gave us one or two new details on what exactly happened. this morning at 6:40 a.m., mexican marines supported by the d.e.a. were able to apprehend

him without a single shot fired. and what they told us about where they found him is actually quite extraordinary. he was found on a massive development of luxury condos. this development had 16 condos, something like 4 ranches. they discovered more than a hundred guns and 43 cars, a fleet of 43 cars including 19 armored cars. so a huge, huge bust by any stretch. >> he's also wanted in the u.s. will he will extradited here? will he be brought back to the u.s.? >> reporter: that's one of the big questions for sure. when he originally escaped in a prison from 2001, he was expected to be extra indicted. so there is this outstanding warrant for him. what we do know is that the mexican marines led this operation and that he has obviously committed a number of

crimes against the mexican people as well. if you just take a look at last year's arrest of another major kingpin, he is still here in mexico city awaiting trial. it's difficult to say for sure. if he does ever go to united states, it might be long after the judicial process runs its course here. >> real quick, how is this going to affect the operation? >> reporter: in terms of the drug operation, another open question. one could say this about the cartel that he ran. it was particularly known for being semiautonomous. it had a number of lieutenants. some have been arrested in the last few weeks. some are still at large. one can assume with this kind of federal approach to a cartel that a lot of the operations for smuggling will still be intact.

>> nick, thank you, i appreciate your reporting. just to give you an idea of how big these cartels are and thigh this is so important for us. 90% of the cocaine that comes to the u.s. goes through mexico. those u.s. drug sales put anywhere from 19 to $29 billion in the cartel's pockets. we'll be right back. did you know a simple hello could save someone's life? plus how to talk to your kids about sex. that's coming up at the bottom of the hour.

messaging service for $19 billion in cash and stock. the app has more than 450 million users, but is it truly

worth that much? lori seagull joins us. there's an outage. >> the app is down. i just tried it. it's been down just for a little bit. i'm assuming that a lot of folks are very interested in the fact that facebook paid $19 billion and people want to download it. we have calls out. we'll see. $19 billion for an app, pretty unreal. if you look at it, it's a numbers game. 450 million monthly active users. and they are signing on a million users every day. so this kind of growth -- a lot of us here in the the united states haven't even heard of whatsapp. so mark zucker berg is saying my goal is to connect the world. this is a good way to do this. google was also trying to buy the app.

so that probably lit a fire under facebook. i will say that. it's really an investment in the future. it's saying, this company is going to reach a billion users soon and i want them to be a part of us and not against us. >> so the buy was maybe about who else would purchase it rather than -- >> defensive buy. >> as we work to figure out why it's down, but apps do go down from time to time. who are the co-founders? >> one of the interesting parts is one of the co-founders was dirt poor. he emigrated from ukraine to the united states when he was a teen. he came over here, he could barely speak english. he was actually on food stamps. he spent a lot of time at a welfare center with his mother. i had sources tell me when they went to sign the facebook deal, he went to the same welfare center -- you're seeing him there. for him it was very much symbolizing the american dream and the fact he had been able to

build a company with such success. now his co-founder brian, he met at yahoo. he went to go apply for a job at facebook and was rejected. he said facebook turned me down. great opportunity to connect with fantastic people. looking forward to life's next adventure. he was also denied by twitter. he got denied. that's okay. would have been a long commute. i don't feel too bad for him. it looked like it paid off. >> maybe we're in the wrong business. >> i held out. this is what i really wanted. you work to find out what's happening. it's not a good thing it went down with so many users. >> especially with so much interest. $19 billion deal, you want the app to work. >> thank you very much. we'll figure out what's up with whatsapp. let's talk about bruno mars.

scalping. let me give you a back story. there's a new resolution introduced by the hawaii senate president. it's called the bruno mars act. there was a bruno mars concert that sold out in two hours. 6% of the tickets were sold at the box office. all the rest were sold online. and not from folks in hawaii wanting to go to the concert. from people in canada who. ed to buy the tickets, up the price and resell them. so people at the box office had to leave and go home. people were upset. the resolution would say let's limit all the ticket purchases for the next 48 hours. give those people priority. now will that happen? that's the big question. could it work in new york where a scalper could drive a couple hours and buy a bunch of tickets. we talk about interrupt disrupting things for the better. when you look at how many folks weren't able to get tickets, the internet interrupted things for the worse.

>> speaking of the internet, people were talking about the "anchor man" movie. they are recutting it and adding more jokes. so 763 new jokes added to this movie that's already been released. we'll see. thank you. we'll be back at the top of the hour with live news. see you then. ever wonder what it would be like to go inside your own brain? a neuroscientist did just that. what he found was pretty surprising to say the least. >> in a pet scan, james spent hundreds of hours pouring over the brains of psychopaths. >> this is a comparison of this brain to a normal person's brain. >> reporter: over and over, the same thing. >> they all had an underlying path of loss of activity. >> reporter: a lot of activity that controls behavior and
