the death toll growing from a cyclone ripping through fuji winds reaching 177 miles an hour. >> fire engulfed a megabust outside of chicago. >> fire came from everywhere. >> all that. >> 106-year-old virginia mclaurin danced her way into the white house. >> the closest finish in the daytona 500 ever. >> and all that matters. >> bob, do this with me. >> i declare you both the winners. >> bob, it wouldn't be a presidential campaign without you. >> thank you, john. how do you like that job? >> i like it all right. hi a great predecessor! >> on "cbs this morning." >> this is my final governor's dinner, at least my final one as president. i'm just -- i'm just kidding. it was a joke, people.

would react! announcer: this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by toyota. let's go places. welcome "cbs this morning." the uber driver accused of a deadly michigan shooting rampage is expected today to be arraigned on murder charges. jason brian dalton is accused of shooting eight people saturday night in kalamazoo, killing six. >> several hundred mourners gathered at a church sunday night to pray for the victims. they include a father and teenage son gunned down at a car dealership and four women killed outside a restaurant. anna werner is at the kalamazoo county courthouse with a search for the motive. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. as you mentioned, jason dalton is expected to be arraigned here at the courthouse later today, facing some six murder charges. he had no criminal record and uber says that he passed a background check.

may have picked up at least one client during the shooting spree. the rampage began just before 6:00 saturday night. michigan state police say dalton first shot a woman multiple times in the parking lot of a kalamazoo townhouse complex and four hours later investigators believed he gunned down a father and son at a car dealership eight miles away. less than 20 minutes later, police say dalton shot five more people in a cracker barrel parking lot and killing four men and critically injuring a 14-year-old girl. at 12:40 on sunday morning, police say the 45-year-old father of two was pulled over and arrested after leaving a kalamazoo bar parking lot and authorities found a gun in his car. you have no reason to think he knew any of these people? >> no. our common denominator here is him. i don't have connections between him and any of the victims.

footage from this car dealership and cracker barrel helped kalamazoo authorities quickly identify the suspect driving a chef hhr. >> said something to him, this isn't the hhr, you're not the guy, are you? he kind of said no. >> reporter: mark dunton and two of his friends say they may have been dalton's last uber customers on saturday night. >> crazy to think somebody gone out and done these horrible things and come in with a straight fis like he isface and looking like he did nothing at all. >> reporter: this couple wish to remain anonymous. >> i half-heartedly joked at him said you're not the shooter, are he said, no. i said are you sure? and he said, no, i'm just really tired. >> he had a weapon in the car with. >> reporter: in a statement on sunday, uber officials said they are heartbroken and reached out investigation. >> really good person. >> reporter: mia is a classmate

senior died alongside his father at the car dealership. >> it's heart breaking and brings our community together but a long time before we move on. >> reporter: now prosecutor jeff getty says the first victim was surrounded by children when she was allegedly confronted by dalton and likely saved their lives by telling them to run. he also calls what happened with that 14-year-old girl who is now in the hospital in critical condition, a miracle. doctors had pronounced her dead. she was on life support for organ donation when she unexpectedly squeezed her mother's hand. gayle? >> unbelievable twist to that story. thank you, anna. the republican presidential race is shifting to nevada this morning. donald trump path to the nomination is becoming much clearer. record voter turnout lifted trump to a big win in saturday's south carolina primary. he beat marco rubio by 11 points. ted cruz was a very close third. jeb bush suspended his campaign

finished counting the votes. he finished fourth in south carolina. dean reynolds is in las vegas where candidates are rushing to pick up support before tomorrow's gop caucuses. dean, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, history appears to be on donald trump's side in this race, because in recent years, no republican candidate has won both the new hampshire primary and the south carolina primary, and then gone on to lose the nomination. >> i love to win. don't we love to win? love it. >> reporter: in georgia on sunday, trump sounded carried away by his big win in neighboring south carolina hours earlier. >> i tell you what, we are just going one after another. are we going to win georgia? yes. >> reporter: even a temporary blackout was not enough to dim his enthusiasm. >> don't turn the lights on! plus, we save on electricity, right? >> reporter: having raised

to run for president, trump turned a similar argument against marco rubio sharing a tweet that questioned the florida's eligibility. though, trump said he wasn't sure one way or another the other. >> i haven't looked at it. somebody said he is not and i retweeted it. 14 million people between facebook and twitter and instagram. >> reporter: rubio said the move was typical trump. >> he says something edgy and outrageous and media flocks and covers that and no one else can get any coverage on that. >> reporter: second place finish in south carolina, rubio argued more than one way to look at trump's win. >> of the people left in this race no one can unite this party faster than i can. >> reporter: with the republican field shrinking, he seeses an advantage. cruz a close third on saturday, saw his own advantage. >> we are seeing people come together behind our campaign

that has beaten donald trump and that can beat donald trump. >> reporter: now some pretty big crowds turned out for marco rubio's three events on sunday and for viewers with a sharp eye, yes, that is donniee wallberg who showed up in nevada to endorse the florida senator even though wahlberg acknowledged he has never voted for a republican presidential candidate in his life. >> dean, we are big fans of him. thank you, dean. south carolina is the next test in the democratic campaign. hillary clinton hopes to follow-up on saturday's victory in nevada. she beat bernie sanders by sixille, south carolina, where sanders campaigned yesterday after losing to clinton in nevada. >> reporter: good morning. that nevada victory was a huge relief for the clinton camp and

status and they have no time to dwell on it because 13 contests in the next ten days, starting here in south carolina. shrugging off his nevada loss, sanders told a crowd of thousands in greenville, he's on a roll. >> if you look at national polls and you want to a candidate who is going to defeat donald trump, you're looking at that candidate! >> reporter: tell that to clinton, who blitzed the vegas strip the last 48 hours to beat back a late sanders' surge. >> some may have doubted us but we never doubted each other! >> reporter: older voters, women and african-americans, were all key to clinton's victory. while younger voters, once again, were heavily for sanders. in a new memo, the clinton camp is disputing entrance polls that showed sanders won the latino vote by eight points.

lost the latino vote, the campaign writes, citing her double-digit win in the heavily latino clark county, home of las vegas. as the caucus we attended caesar's pals lass, the women voters were overwhelming clinton. >> amazing [ inanaible ]. >> reporter: the fight goes on! >> reporter: it's not academic. both candidates are trying to prove they have an appeal for minority votes. >> our support in the latino community has gone up and i think you're seeing our spaurtupport in the african-american community going up as well. >> reporter: sanders is winning the money raise according to january fund-raising totals. he outraised clinton last month by nearly 7 million and outspent her as well which could explain why she is in california today fund-raising. >> thanks.

and cbs news political director john dickerson is in washington. john, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> reporter: on the one hand, people say, marco rubio and others say donald trump is only getting one-third of the republican vote. a as well, other people suggest if anybody on the republican side wins new hampshire and south carolina, they are almost unstoppable. how do you bring those two ideas together? >> well, we are going to find out now. the field has will lowed and this is what the anti-trump forces have been hopefully, waiting for. one person that can represent the mainstream republican vote going up against donald trump. but the challenge then, and that person, marco rubio, says, is him, john kasich disputes that, but rubio is going to have to take the case to trump. what we saw in south carolina is what we see with every trump victory is that the new things that he can survive, just quickly what he survived in south carolina, being booed at two debates and taking on george

all of that to win. so he looks in pretty goodhape right now. >> let's look forward to march 1st, super tuesday. who is best positioned to do well in those states, huge delegate load there. >> well, donald trump is best positioned. he has got the momentum of these wins. he is doing well in those states. obviously, ted cruz has an advantage in texas. he also -- cruz also has advantage in those southern states that are on super tuesday. but the problem for ted cruz is look at south carolina that was a state with 75 roughly percent of the evangelical voters and a lot of conservative voters and he couldn't beat trump there, after having been in sustained combat with him a month he couldn't beat him back. that suggests it's hard for him to do that on super tuesday. >> who benefits the most from jeb bush's departure from the race? it was an emotional time for him on saturday night. i'm wondering if you heard

>> both rubio and kasich said they have talked to people who donated to just about bush and have gotten some support. it looks like marco rubio is benefiting more. it's not so much the voters that will come to those two candidates, but it's the money and so, right now, it looks like marco rubio may be grabbing some of that more than john kasich. >> it continues. john dickerson, thank you so much. the supreme court returns to work this morning for the first time since the death of justice antonin scalia. thousands of mourners gathered in washington saturday for his funeral. scalia's son paul led mass at the nation's largest roman catholic church. jan crawford is at the supreme court where the remaining justices will hear oral arguments today in two cases. jan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. i mean, today really starts an uncertain chapter for supreme court. none of these eight justices have ever served on the supreme court without justice scalia. but when they take their seats on the bench this morning, scalia's will be empty the next

covered in a black memorial cloth. now, today's cases are run-of-the-mill. one is a criminal case and one about government contracts but it is hard to imagine an oral argument without justice scalia there. he was such a dominate presence and without scalia, remember, this court is now divided 4-4 along ideological lines. many of the controversial cases will probably end up in a tie and that means the lower court decision will stand, unless the supreme court decides to reset them for argument next term. >> jan, what are your sources telling you about where we are in terms of picking a successor for scalia? >> reporter: well, the president has already started reviewing files on possible nominees but the republicans are saying that, you know, they are not going to confirm anyone that he sends up to the senate with the court in the balance, they don't want him to turn it to the left. the stakes could not be any higher. >> jan, thank you so much. the fbi director is making a very personal and passionate

over the san bernardino gunman's iphone. james comey writes we simply want the chance with a search warrant to try to guess the terrorist's pass code without the phone essentially self-destructing and without it correctly. that's it. he said we don't want to break anyone's encryption or set a master key loose on the land. we can't look the survivors in the eye or ourselves in the >> the blast killed up to 150 people. elizabeth palmer is on a rare trip inside the syrian capital at the scene of one of the attacks. elizabeth, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. i'm standing just a few yards

car bombs went off and the devastation is just epic. the fronts of all the buildings have been blown clean off and the people who lived in those apartments, the shopkeepers who had their businesses on the ground floor, they're all dead. isis was never going to be party to any kieshd of cease fire, but this proofs their commitments to total war. however, the other players in this war, this conflict do say they're ready for some kind of a truce. president assad said he was ready for it over the weekend and the opposition says they're going to try too, but the devil as always is in the details. when would it start, who would participate, who would monitor it? in northern syria, the syrian army backed by russian planes are conducting a conducting a huge attack and at the moment they're winning.

asked behind the scenes to drag its heels in any kind of truce. however, in the next couple of days president obama is going to talk to russian president in this some sort of limited pause in the war. >> incredible reporting there. thank you. the cdc says it underestimated the health risks of lumber lick we day torrs flooring because of a mistake. the country's leading hardwood rea tailer sold flooring made in china that exceeded u.s. health and safety limits for formaldehyde. the flooring could lead to 2-9 extra cancer cases. now the risk has been re recalculated to be 6-30 cases. that's about three times higher and that's after scientists pointed out the mass mistake. one of racing's most popular

finish. >> here they come to the line. this is the finish of the daytona 5 hub. bouncing off each other, unbelievable. >> i think it was denny hamlin. >> denny hamlin, oh, my goodness. >> i've got chills up my spine. that's amazing. >> the closest 500 ever. have you ever? no, i've never. >> denny hamlin's number 11 car squeaked by truex jr. for his first daytona 500 win. the victory came by about 10 milliseconds. that is the closest margin in the history of the race. >> you can see it when you put it on pause and look at it but if you're watching it in real time it's hard to tell. beyonce sparked controversy with her super bowl half-time show. now police unions are weighing good morning. patchy dense fog has been reported across the state so watch for changing visibilities over the next

marriage privately is excluded from any testimony including a deposition. that's a big exclusion. >> even though she's the business manager? >> doesn't matter. in massachusetts, despite articles to the contrary, in massachusetts, business matters if they're still between husband and wife it's a public policy to protect those conversations. >> what do they think they're going to get from camille cosby? plenty. her observations, anything she saw, anything she heard other than from her husband. also, as a result of a conversation, mrs. cosby, what did you then do? recall? >> of course she can say i don't recall if she doesn't recall. so what happens here we're going to be in congressional testimony. when someone takes the 5th over and over again, the question is put to her, then she says

good morning. good morning. it is monday, february 22nd, 2016. welcome back to "cbs this morning." there's more real news ahead, including the presidential candidates at a critical stage in the race to the white house. we see how the weekend's results are changing the campaign. but first here's today's eye opener@8.

murder charges. >> in recent years no republican has won south carolina and new hampshire and lost the nomination. >> you are going to say mr. president, we can't stand it anymore. we can't keep winning. >> getting in to a fight with the pope and survived that to win. >> nevada was a huge relief for the clinton camp but they have 13 contests in the next ten days. >> i'm standing a few yards from where one of those massive car bombs went off. the devastation is epic. >> miami police officer say don't expect them to provide security because critics say one of beyonce's new songs disparages police. >> jeb bush dropped out, despite pulling out all of the stops in zk stk. >> jeb has been a great father and husband and one of my four favorite sons. >> i know she's joking but that's what you say about your

>> this morning's eye opener@8 is presented by nationwide. >> i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. the democratic presidential race is turn ing to south carolina where hillary clinton is the favorite in saturday's primary. clinton is almost a quarter of the way toward her party's nomination. she has 501 convention delegates. bernie sanders has only 70. >> clinton's complain was relieved after saturday's win in nevada. the race got tighter after a loss in new hampshire and her razor thin victory in iowa. her six-point win over bernie sanders bolstered her position as the democratic front runner. sanders said they have the momentum for the upcoming pry mars and for the november election. >> nevada's republican caucuses are tomorrow. the top three finishes will be campaigning in nevada today. donald trump swept a victory in saturday's primary as voter

marco rubio edged out ted cruz by just over 1,000 votes. jeb bush's third disappointing finish in a row marked the end of his presidential bid. he suspended his campaign before all of the votes were counted. "wall street journal" columnist is a cbs news contributor and writing about the 2016 presidential race. good morning. >> good morning. >> it is monday. >> yes. we love monday. >> i do. it was tough to see jeb bush on the stage pull out of the race, what do you think it says about where we are right now? >> oh, my gosh, it says a million things. this was a candidacy i was skeptical of from the beginning. it didn't seem to me that jeb was the answer to any question the republican base was asking. i think he proved that there's a lot of people in politics who think we have the money. we've got the money.

he had the money. he didn't blow anybody away. they think we can buy up the talent, advisers, consultants, hae had them all the consultant and talent and it didn't work. nothing is sure in politics and that was something that didn't work. >> $150 million didn't work. >> they say, i wonder what's left and i wonder where it goes, you know? >> sometimes a right and wrong time to run. >> that's true. also, there was a funny -- jeb was a former, highly successful two-term governor of florida, as you well know. it had been a while since he had run for office. he was not a great candidate. part of the reason was you constantly saw his sense of unease out there. that to me is mysterious and i wonder what it was about. there was a sense with jeb that he was work and trying but somehow his heart or psyche

his smile never reached his eyes. whereas john kasich, he can't stop smiling. he's trying to get his eyes to calm down. >> i was going to say donald trump is now leading in ten of the next 14 states, leading in the polls. is he unstoppable? >> well, you know, the proper approach of anybody prognosticateing in politics right now is humility. the year has shocked us. >> this doesn't seem like the year of humility. >> no, i mean for prognosticators like me. >> humility, where. >> donald trump is winning without humility. >> my god, nobody has any idea. everybody thought that donald trump would stop himself with his mouth, with his impettousness, with the fact that not only did you not know

that there was a sense he didn't know what would say next. he hasn't stopped himself. he has grown on. it is interesting to me he had 25% of the party in polls and then maybe 30 and then maybe 34. it seems to me that as he continues to roll up wins, as we also suspect he will, that that ceil willing get higher, which will affect things. >> look to the democrats, where do you think hillary is today? >> hillary is saved. she took it in the face in new hampshire. had a dangerous loss. she just came back in nevada. she can now i think sort of subtly or not subtly paint her competitor, bernie sanders not as a movement but a little protest. >> do you think bernie sanders helped her? >> you know, i think so far in two ways, assuming he doesn't beat her, he has helped her in

someone to sharpen herself against as she ran and he forced her to come up with a meaning for her campaign. that meaning is, i think if i am reading it right, i believe in progress that is possible. i believe politics is the art of the possible. in other words, she's saying my promises, i can actually deliver. he can't deliver anything. these making all of these things up. >> depends on how many new voters he can bring in the race. >> that is exciting even on the trump side. new voters are a big part of it this year. >> it's early in the race. thank you. always good to see you. pop star ke$ha is getting support from the biggest names in music. a judge ruled she cannot leave her recording contract. the pop star claims her producer, who goes by the name of dr. luke sexually abused her. he denies the allegations and has not been criminally charged.

report or any other evidence to support ke$ha's claims she could not rule this contract should be set aside or terminated. >> reporter: both ke$ha's attorney and sony declined to comment. in a statement dr. luke's attorney said the goal of ke$ha's counsel has been to obtain a more lucrative contract through a claim of outrageous claims. outside of the courthouse, supporters voiced anger at the decision. >> it is inhumane, everything about the trial is sickening and disgusting. >> sony, if they have integrity, should not make money off of a person and insult them. >> reporter: female musicians are showing support. demi lovato tweeting frustrating to see women come forward with their past to be shot down. lady gaga said i'm in awe of your bravery. ke$ha could be let out of her

students who not only concustomered it but pulled off an achievement that stumped college professors. in fairfax, virginia, chip reid is adding up the success. >> reporter: when i walked into this classroom this morning, i thought i was walking into a language class, because that is greek to me. but you're about to meet a couple of high school students who know all of that and exactly what it means and a lot more. landon may seem like an ordinary 15-year-old. in many ways, he is. but he also knows what it's like, at least in math, to achieve perfection. the more than 300,000 students around the world who took the advanced placement calculus test last year he is one of only 12 who achieved a perfect score and most of the test takers were juniors and seniors. he was a 14-year-old sophomore.

been perfect on this test? >> honestly, it's a little overwhelming. it's lots of interviews like this. >> reporter: and the tweet from the president? >> that was pretty cool. >> reporter: pretty cool? that is an understatement, right? >> yeah. >> reporter: his perfect score placed him in the top.004%. that means 1 in what? >> 25,000? >> reporter: i got 2,500. >> that would be -- it's .004%. >> oh, very good! he beat me at math. beating a tv news reporter at math is no big deal but landon's parents say perfection is a big deal for him. mom and dad, were you surprised he got a perfect score? >> i was surprised. >> reporter: not because you don't think highly of him? >> no, no. >> reporter: you thought else make a silly mistake? >> i did.

professors who write the exams make mistakes. >> the professors don't expect this and it's remarkable when a high school student who doesn't have a college degree let alone a h.ph.d. in this subject area does not miss a point. >> reporter: landon credits his calculus teacher ann watkins. >> reporter: can calculus be intuitive? >> absolutely. >> reporter: you come to calculus to push the limits? >> absolutely. one of my t-shirts say calculus students know their limits. >> reporter: that is something cedric understands as well, a 17-year-old senior in lincoln high school in los angeles, he, too, is one of the 12 students with a perfect score on the calculus exam. >> i like to absolutely -- math there is always an answer. but i know that there is not always an answer in upper level math. sometimes there are unsolved problems and just the unknown

you know, solve it. >> reporter: cedric's record with rubik cube is 15 seconds and he has a near obsession with avoiding careless errors in math. >> i don't like make is mistakes, i don't. >> reporter: cedric's mother is a nurse foreign in the philippines and his mother is a maintenance worker originally from el salvador. >> this country offers a lot of good things to the immigrants, like us. so i'm just thankful. >> i didn't have the opportunity to -- we are here to help him do whatever he wants. >> reporter: aside from the perfect score, that is another big thing cedric and landon have in common -- parents who encourage their children to do their best. >> the problem with somebody like landon, his best just keeps getting better, so it's hard to know when he has done his best.

i've been using the time productively to sharpen my math skills and not sure about the last one. the number of today is 12. the number who had a perfect score on this exam. by the way, both landon and cedric want to be engineers. landon wants to possibly send a rocket to mars and cedric wants to design something that is so cool that his name will be known around the world. >> believe! i believe that is going to happen! >> i believe. >> that's right. >> i love both parents, too. the pride that both parents felt about their sons. >> yeah. >> really good to see. >> that is the american story. >> that's right. >> immigrants come here and their kids take a real place. >> succeed. don't we line it? the best just keep getting better. there is a high altitude trapeze act you won't see at the circus. the routine two miles above the ground aiming for a world record. you're watching "cbs this

savin' you five hundred i'm savin' you five hundred we have auto-tune, right? oh, yeah. that's a hit! all: yeah! welcome back to "cbs this morning." coming up in this half hour, former cia and nsa director general michael hayden is in our toyota green room. there he is sitting with his brother harry. hello, hayden brothers! harry is here for mental support. we like it.

fight with the fbi. >> american girl is getting ready to release, the first look at the dole months before it goes on sale. that story is ahead. time to show you some of the morning's headlines from around the globe. the "los angeles times" reports on a damming study out today that says hollywood is still largely whitewashed. researchers at unc gave a failing grade to major media companies which when it came to including women and minorities from ceos down to minor character. the report found the film industry, quote, still functions as a straight white boys club. the "new york post" reports that author harper lee kept an apartment in manhattan. her "to kill a mockingbird" was set in the south and claimed alabama was her home. one neighbor in new york remembers her as hospitalible and she made them promise not to

harper was laid to rest over the weekend. "the new york times" says a vaccine, since the government started recommending the hpv vaccine, the number of girls with the disease has fallen 64%. hpv has dropped 34% in women aged 20 to 24. the vaccine is more effective than anyone anticipated. the new orleans times is reporting anthony davis scored 59 points with 20 rebounds. the only player to report that in modern nba history. that is huge. >> 59 is a lot of points in the

he has prelreal promising potential. tension is on display in the fbi's standoff with apple over the san bernardino terrorist iphone. a powerful intelligence insider is weighing in. retired general major michael hayden says apple is right in principle, but the government has a point. hayden created and oversaw programs designed to keep americans safe. he is director of the national security agency and director of the cia in the past and he is now telling his side of the story in a new book called "playing to the edge american intelligence in the age of terror." general hayden, good morning. >> good morning. >> let's look at the fbi story and make sure we understand exactly what you think. you have on the one hand, the look at this. we need you to help us do it and time. >> right. >> ian >> apple says no such thing as one time. it means we are opening up

privacy of those people who buy iphones. what do you say. >> this is a morality play for the theme of the book which i describe is tough choices and not about the forces of light and the force of darkness. this is about balancing two virt things we want, liberty and safety and acting out in this particular sphere. i think apple is right in terms of opposing universal back doors to make it easier for any government to get into encrypted communications. >> but is that what the government is asking them? >> no. but i am not convinced that what the fbi is asking apple to do in san bernardino is that. and i think the burden of proof is on apple to show that there is an inevitable slippery slope from this very targeted focused request from the bureau, a slippery slope from that to this thing over here. charlie, look.

back doors are back doors. if they are in there, good security services around the world will exploit that and take advantage of that. >> government too? >> the government actually wish us no good. >> you also say in the book when it comes to national security and protecting our privacy and our lives, sometimes you have to go right to the edge and do whatever it takes. >> that's right. >> is it a bit of a contradiction to say, well, i don't totally oppose i agree with a back door? do you know what i'm saying? >> gayle, i get it and this is a perpetual gray area and never easy choices but there are lines. i say playing to the edge and you should not go beyond a certain point. in my judgment, in this particular case is that universal back doors, although it may facilitate american law enforcement for very good purposes, on balance, on balance, actually are an overall negative for american security,

>> why would law enforcement or intelligence agencies need the iphone exactly? in other words, you can go through the cloud. they have already checked his phone records, know who he has spoken with and pretty much cleaned a lot of material doing all of that. >> they have. and that is one of the arguments folks like me use for no universal back doors. there are other tools available. but, norah, in this particular case, it wasn't backed up to the cloud. and -- >> for the past 44 days before the attack? >> right. and you can't get it to talk to the cloud without getting into it and changing its cloud code. and so you're back to apple needs to suppress the current ios which will destroy the data if you have unsuccessful attempt to open it. >> can you clear something up for me? it's interesting to me to watch on saturday the fbi put out a blog case and this morning, tim cook e-mailing.

between the two of them. isn't it true in the past apple has been cooperative and worked with the cia in the past? >> i won't get into operational details and apple has made it quite public they have been cooperative with american law enforcement with cases like this one but now apple is drawing this line. >> ios 7 or ios 8? >> i wouldn't get into the specifics. that is one of the detailed arguments that tilts this one way or the other. >> interesting thing is district attorney of new york has said he has got about 170 cases in which he can't gain access to an iphone and he needs that evidence in terms of dangerous criminals. >> no. frankly, charlie, i think the u.s. attorney here making that case undercuts jim comey's argument that i got one off that i need your help. >> can we talk about your book for a second? >> please! >> here you are, the master

for years you keep all of the secrets and now you're writing a book about the secrets. i'm curious will the process for you and was it difficult for you to do? did you struggle with it? >> first of all, i've been doing this for a while. >> yes. >> i kind of know my own limits. >> got it. >> so i write to what i think the edge is in terms of classification. but everything then has to be cleared and, in this case, by cia, and nsa and the director of national intelligence. and, frankly, gayle, in the conversations, i pretty much got to say everything i wanted to say, even if not in all cases i got to say it the way i wanted to say it. >> what was your process? >> i picked a topic. let's take the syrian nuclear reactor. >> let's take that. >> long airplane rides with my ipad and kind of put out about 2,500, 3,000 words stream of consciousness and realized a lot of i don't remember. go to the agency, ask to see documents. ask to talk to people.

have. now i'm about 80%, 85% of the particular chapter. >> can i ask you about the current presidential debate? i know you know bob gates well, the former secretary of defense. he has essentially said it would be -- it's embarrassing the on. when a candidate says they want to carpet bomb isis into possible? >> no and it would be unmoral and unworthy of a republic like ourselves. secretary gates is absolutely right. remember, i began by saying these are hard issues and an infinin gray. >> donald trump said he would waterboard. >> he said he would waterboard and a lot worse because they deserved it. this was never looking backward. this was trying to keep americans safe looking forward.

it was never a form of punishment. >> do drones raise any morality question for you? >> obviously, i was intimately involved in targeted killings and in detail in the book and always raises moral questions. when the phone would ring in the middle of the night, charlie, i mean this, before i would pick it up, i said to myself, hayden, listen up. whatever you are going to decide on this call, you're going to live with the rest of your lirve. >> i've been told by cia directors there have been moments they identify where they would get by a drone a leading terrorist and they have decided not to because they knew the family was too close. >> well, you make these value judgments all the time. the laws of war, necessity proportionality and distinction and it goes through your mind. i tell a story in the book with the united states, where they took a shot at a wmd exert for be al qaeda even though his grandson was nearby. we contributed to the intelligence to that shot.

>> the united states had to make the decision do you take it or not? we tried to avoid the civilian loss of life. >> but the grandson was killed in that scenario? . you had you can live with that? >> i can but without cavalier, i have grandchildren. when you're director of these kinds of agencies, you still have your personal moral self but you're acting on behalf of the nation and you have to realize it's a failure to make a tough decision. the failure to take that kind of shot could actually lead to something catastrophic. >> general hayden, thank you. the book is called "playing to the edge" and goes on sale tomorrow. only on "cbs this morning," inside the designed studios at the american girl headquarters, the company is revealing its new good morning. patchy dense fog has been reported across the state so watch for changing visibilities over the next couple of hours. clouds linger today creating a rather gray

stayed true to our mission and our purpose, and while it would be really easy to call us a doll company, we have always seen ourselves as story tellers. >> reporter: vice president of marketing julia prohas ka says their doll comes with books that tap into imagination while providing a rich history lesson. >> we put at the center, stories and advice for girls that really are intended to help them be their personal best. >> reporter: stories like kia, is a native american girl who wants to become a leader for her people. or addie, a child slave who escaped to freedom. what wrol do you think the doll industry has in making sure there is diversity and little girls see that at a very early age? >> i think the doll industry has a very heavy responsibility in reflecting what is true about our society. >> reporter: but in 2014, the company was criticized for discontinuing four characters.

african-american and a chinese american. in the 30 years, you've designed over 20 character dolls but only three of them had been black. >> uh-huh. >> reporter: why is that? >> when we launched addie, the universal feeling was that we needed to address the very difficult topic of slavery before we addressed any other experience in black history. >> then the orange one. >> reporter: this summer, american girl is addressing another chapter of black history with the release of melody ellison. >> so here she is. >> reporter: she is a 9-year-old girl growing up in detroit during the 1960s several times era who loves to sing and uses her voice to make a difference. why did it take until 2016 to see a doll that is representative of arguably one of the most important period for african-americans today? >> well, we do approach every character very thoughtfully so this isn't something we rush into. we are not looking to address

we are looking to tell stories in the most authentic and genuine way that we possibly can. >> reporter: clinical psychologist dr. charlene jackson supports what american girl is doing, but stresses the importance of seeing more modern stories for african-american dolls. >> as we encourage our children to learn about their history, we want also to teach them and show them that who they are right now in 2014 is fabulous as well. >> probably purchased about 200 different books. >> reporter: mark spells is the senior historian who developed melody's story. >> when we learn about the civil rights we learned about many and important people. >> reporter: to ensure her story was authentic, american girl

board, made up of his toretorians and educators including the late civil rights bond. they worked with the board to bring melody's story to life. >> this doll is different. >> reporter: when it came to choosing her hair, northrop consulted the panel several times to get specifics. she even has her own bed and recording studio that plays music from motown. >> reporter: to build and keep interest in a company that has seen annual sales drop over 9% since 2013, american girl launched a new campaign last year. >> i pledge my strength to the team. >> reporter: encouraging girls to take a pledge to empower each other and american girl, so it will be around for another 30 years. >> for all. >> thank you! we understand that more than 50,000 have taken that pledge and melody will be on stores
