>> welcome to "cbs this morning." newly release video of the man who shot and killed trayvon martin is raising new questions about his claim of self-defense. >> that man's father insists the unarmed teenager was the aggressor. >> reporter: good morning to our viewers in the west. the night of the shooting becomes more vivid when you watch this videotape. it's our first look at george zimmerman right after he shot trayvon martin. this video shows george zimmerman being led into police headquarters the night he killed trayvon martin. video obtained by abc news. he shows no obvious head injuries. an officer inspects the back of his head. zimmerman spent five hours telling police he shot martin in self-defense and in an interview with fox 35 orlando, robert zimmerman said his son told him he spotted martin, called police about a suspicious person and followed him. he turned around and there was

mart martin. he claims martin approached his son cursing at him as younger zimmerman reached for the cell phone he punched him, breaking his nose and knocking him to the ground. >> trayvon martin got on top of him and started beating him. >> reporter: that's when zimmerman's father said martin threatened to kill his son. zimmerman pulled out his .9 millimeter and killed martin. on this 911 tape which one was yelling for help before the sound of the gunshot? >> you think he's yelling help? >> yes. >> there's gun shots. >> everyone that knows george knows absolutely that is george screaming. there's no doubt in anyone's mind. >> reporter: sybrina fulton, trayvon's mother, heard it differently. did you recognize the sound on that tape? >> that's my son calling.

>> reporter: the special prosecutor will hire a voice recognition expert hoping to define which voice it was and establish whether george zimmerman really fired in self-defense. >> ben trump is the attorney for trayvon martin's parents. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> what's your reaction to this video? >> we've heard on 911 tapes can our ears and now we see this video with our eyes and the family's reaction like all of america, we know now from not anything anybody said but from what we see and from what we hear that that police report is a fabrication and when mark was talking about his father, it goes deeper to say that zimmerman told him trayvon martin beat his head repeatedly against concrete and there's no evidence from that video that he beat his head against concrete. there's no visible evidence that his nose is broken. how long is it going to take for

them to be arrested? this was an armed vigilante who killed trayvon martin in cold blood. all he had was a bag of skittles trying to get home. >> the police did examine zimmerman at the scene and then went to the station. what do you make of at that? >> thank god for surveillance video. there was a conspiracy to cover up the truth and sweep trayvon martin's death under the rug. this is icing on the cake. they've been through so much grieving and then personal attacks on their son and all they wanted him to be arrested, charlie. as we talked with gayle yesterday, they talked about all of the stuff they had to do over this and this video is some sense of relief but yet he's not arrested yet. and so they can't rest peacefully because their child is in a grave while the killer

is free. >> there's been a lot of talk about what has been done within the police department. can you tell us, when was the first time that your clients, trayvon's parents, met with police and what was the initial account they were given of the police understanding of what happened that night? >> remember mr. martin called me after the police told him they were not going to arrest the killer of his son. they said based on zimmerman's account, which is very self-serving, erica, he said that trayvon martin -- the story keeps changing. this armed vigilante says that zimmerman was attacked. that's where he said trayvon attacked him at. he says that he beat his head repeatedly in the ground. that he put his hand over his mouth. he used profanity and beat him repeatedly in the face. you don't see any evidence of that, erica. don't believe me.

don't listen to his mother and father. look with your eyes and listen to that 911 tape with your ears and that tells the story. >> mr. crump, thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you all. please give my best for gayle. >> we will for sure. this morning after three days of historic debate at the supreme court, supporters and opponents of president obama's health care law can only sit and wait. >> the justices are expected to announce their decision in june. chief legal correspondent jan crawford was at the high court for the final day of arguments. jan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica. good morning to our viewers on the west. justice breyer yesterday in that courtroom showed what was the line in this case. held up the section of the law that requires all americans to buy insurance and then held up the rest of the law. he said if we throw out this, what do we do with this? the arguments showed what was at stake not just requirement to buy health care but the entire health care law.

the conservatives and moderate swing justice anthony kennedy suggested if the mandate was gone, the whole thing should be scrapped. >> when have we ever struck down what was the main purpose of the act and left the rest in effect? >> the typically blunt justice scalia suggested it would be better if congress started with a clean slate instead of the court deciding which of the laws other provisions could stand and he joked c ed that reading the page law would violate the cruel and unusual punishment. >> you want us to go through the 2,700 pages? why should we say that the choice between a wrecking operation which is what you are requesting or a salvage job and the more conservative approach would be salvage rather than

throwing out everything. >> reporter: the obama administration concedes that without the mandate, popular provisions like banning insurance companies from denying coverage to people with pre-existing conditions would be doomed. there are a lot of people that said this is an easy case. the court will surely uphold this law but after three days of these historic arguments, justices showed it was not an easy case. very complex issues of constitutional law. congress's power in american life. the decision is expected in june. >> the economy remains the key issue in this year's election. new york city mayor michael bloomberg is weighing in today in an op-ed. >> the mayor outlines challenges facing candidates and lays out plan to eliminate the federal deficit in ten years. mayor bloomberg, welcome to "cbs this morning." >> it's a great show. great set. sorry you have to work with charlie. >> we'll talk about that later. >> he's unrelenting. many similarities between you

and george clooney by the way. >> federal budget and class warfare. i support letting the bush tax cuts expire but the obama plan isn't a serious strategy. by the obama plan you mean what? >> the obama plan to raise taxes on the wealthy will only raise roughly a billion more per year. we have a deficit of $1.2 trillion a year. so it may be a political solution to a problem but it is not a solution to our fiscal problem. if you want to balance the budget, you have to raise taxes on everyone and you have to cut programs. you can do them slowly. you can do them intelligently both. you cannot either cut your ways out of the problem or close your eyes and think it's going to go away. >> it's not happening in washington. there is gridlock about this very issue of who is prepared on the republican side to see tax increases and who is prepared on the democratic side to cut

entitlements. >> that's why i wrote this op-ed piece. that's why i will speak later on with alan simpson and bowles. we have to say call your representative, the president, senators congressman, say i want a concrete solution. it may not be a solution i like. you have to come up with something that actually balances the budget and neither party at neither end of pennsylvania avenue have done that. they keep promising everybody something for nothing and unfortunately as you see in europe, something for nothing doesn't exist and eventually countries get into real trouble. we are in somewhat trouble right now. one of the reasons that we have this high unemployment rate is the companies are afraid to make investments. banks are afraid to make loans because they don't see leadership. they don't see a solution to our problems. >> with respect to president obama's proposal and the buffet rule. you believe when the president says it's about fairness, it's not about fairness? >> buffet issue is we want

people to invest. investment creates jobs. investment creates a tax base. we lower the taxes on capital gains to get people to invest. the good news is it works. warren buffett did exactly what the tax code encouraged him to do. his tax rate has nothing to do with the tax rate of his secretaries. if warren buffett has ordinary income on ordinary income, he will pay a higher tax rate than his secretary because i assume he makes higher ordinary income than he does. if she invest in capital gains, she would have the same low tax rate. >> there's no level you think the rich should pay more beyond the fact of the difference in ordinary income and capital gains. >> i think the rich have to pay more. we all have to pay more. if you just raise taxes on the rich, you only raise a small amount of money. most of this country is middle class. that's where most of the tax revenue is. if you want to raise $4 trillion over the next ten years, which

gets you halfway, only halfway to a balanced budget, everybody els taxes have to go up. the nice thing is president has the ability to do this. he can't say congress won't go along. all the president has to do is say i'm going to veto any bill that tries to stop the automatic ending of the bush era tax cuts for everybody. he's got enough votes to sustain a veto. and then everybody's taxes will go up. then he should turn to the republicans and say, you guys always said you wouldn't do anything on revenue. i took that off the table. sorry. i was smarter than you guys were. now let's talk about intelligent cuts. there's a way to slowly decrease the benefits or raise the eligibility age for medicare and for social security. there's a ways to have more co-pay on medicaid, which will do two things. one, users of the service will pay more but two they will think

twice before they use services so services they use are those needed and not stuff that would be nice to have. >> you think republicans are playing class warfare as well as democrats? >> i think anything you say about one side of the aisle, you can say about the other. everybody is trying to pander to their base rather than come up and lead from the front and say, look, there is no easy answer here. we're all in this together. let's make a sacrifice. that's what america always does. i think they will incidentally. winston churchill famously said america can always be depended on to do the right thing after exhausting all over possibilities and that's exactly what you see playing out in washington. >> i want to get you to weigh in other issues. you have been an outspoken proponent of gun control for some time. as you watch what happened in florida with trayvon martin and developments we've seen, what do you think of the stand your ground law in florida? >> it doesn't make sense. you don't want people being vigilantes. they don't have the training. they don't have the expertise. there's no oversight.

that's the police department's job. all statistics show if you have a gun at home, 22 times more likely to be killed by a gun. you picture this. somebody is banging on your door and says i'm going to come in and kill you. wait a second. let me find the gun. where did i put the ammunition. where did i put the key? this guy has the gun out and you're better off not having a gun. >> do you think it will lead to a national conversation? >> you know, hope springs eternal. we have a conference of 650 mayors from across the country trying to give people the right to own arms protected by the second amendment but not have carry on campus and not have minors carrying guns and not have people with psychiatric problems or criminal records carrying guns. we saw a congress person shot in the head and congress didn't do something. let's give more people guns. it doesn't make sense. america is the only country in

the world that has more guns than people. america is the only place where there is a murder rate with guns. other than places have criminal records. they have murders. here it's a unique thing. what congress did is they protected the gun industry as a separate industry and said if the manufacturers know guns will kill people, you still can't sue them. we don't do that for automobile companies. if an automobile company makes a car that they know will run off the road every once in

most care about only three things. one getting re-elected because that's the way they make a living. two, keeping their party in power because that's what makes it easier to get re-elected and number three, see number one. you have to explain to them as the nra does that if they vote one way they will pay a penalty at the ballot box. nra says vote guns for everybody or we'll keep you from getting re-elected. they will kill my kids and we'll keep you from getting re-elected. >> mr. mayor, thank you. pleasure to have you on the broadcast. come back soon. >> we'll do it. thanks. the fbi is questioning a man who was found with explosives at philadelphia's airport this

we have new details this morning from the wild ride of

jetblue flight 191. where the pilot went on a bizarre rampage on tuesday. ,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,

♪ ♪ >> i actually have an announcement. i want to announce this to everyone here in the americas, to our friends in spain, turkey, and the uk, including england, that as of 0900 mountain time paramount pictures and myself, ronald joseph aaron burgundy have comes to terms on a sequel to anchorman. oh, so good news for all of us. will ferrell with the news

america has been waiting for. welcome back to cbs phorpbg. >> we can all rest easy now. >> captain clayton osbon the pilot of jet blue flight is now facing federal charges of interfering with the flight crew of his own plane. it forced the plane to make an unscheduled landing. senior correspondent john miller is here with new details on tuesday's emergency. good morning, john. >> good morning, erica. since tuesday we have heard a lot about what happened in the cabin of that plane between the pilot and passengers. the federal charges, though, give us our first details events into what was going on between the two men who were in control of that plane. >> the federal complaint offers stark details of the pilot's bizarre behavior in the cockpit, talking about religion, saying things just don't matter. yelling at air traffic controllers on the radio. and declaring to his co pilot, we need to take a leap of faith.

and we're not going to vegas. after the co pilot used a ruse to get osbon out of the cockpit, passengers heard this. >> oh, my god! >> now he's starting to say jesus. he started yelling inside to the flight deck. throttle to idle. bring this plane down. al qaeda is here >> translator: criminal complaint against osbon details his behavior from before takeoff in new york. at jfk airport osbon showed up later than he should have and missed the crew briefing. different the flight he yelled over the radio to air traffic control, instructed them to be quiet, then turned off the radios and started dimming his monitors. investigators are seeking to subpoena medical records any prescription drug records. they want to carefully retrace osbon's steps from what he ate to what he said, to how he slept

in the days before the mid-air meltdown. they still don't know what caused it. in a man that, by all accounts, was the quintessential image of a commercial pilot. former chairman of the national transportation safety board says the jetblue incident may call for a new look at pilot screenings. >> what does this incident signal? is it a tipping point? >> there are questions that need to be answered. how do we better screen these people to make sure that they are fit to fly, which not only includes a good heart, good blood pressure but a good, healthy, psychologically profile as well. >> jetblue 191. we're going to have to go into amarillo, declaring an emergency. >> many agree the co pilots careful plan to have any confrontation occur outside the cockpit may have saved lives. >> how do you characterize the strategy of the co pilot? >> he did a brilliant job, in my

judgment. he got him off that flight deck, shut the door, got his other pilot in the flight deck with him so they could take care of this airplane and divert it to amarillo. >> these charges, if there is a medical explanation? >> you know, that was a subject great debate. if you have somebody who is under mental duress, are you going to charge them criminally? but yesterday between the resident agency and the fbi and amarillo, agents in lubbock, the front office in dallas, fbi headquarters, u.s. attorneys office, the question kept coming up, he's on a three-day medical hold, police guard but not necessarily in custody. if a lawyer showed up and said we're checking him out of the hospital and moving him to another facility who has control over this guy while we wait for the medical results. it got dicey to the point that the u.s. attorney and the fbi

agent said let's just drop the complaint on him. then when he's released from the hospital we will know he's in federal custody and we can manage it from there without worrying about where he is or where he's going. >> i want to expand this conversation. chief of psychology university medical center. welcome. >> thanks, charlie. >> is there such a thing in terms of a panic attack in terms of the medical community. help us understand without treating this person and not treating from a distance but help us understand how this kind of circumstance could happen. >> well, panic attacks are a known diagnostic entity, panic disorder. full anxiety with a lot of physical symptoms associated. what this pilot suffered from was not a pilot attack. that was the first word that was put out. but the description of his behavior, the ground and history are not consistent with that. there's three categories of diagnoses without having the background of this person and also being able to evaluate

them. the first is that he suffered a precipitous onset on a psychiatric disorder, psychotic disorder. he broke with reality, had delusional thoughts about disaster. second, he had a neurologic event which compromised his brain function. in a 49-year-old man with no prior history, 12-year history of stable employment, to have a psychiatric illness of this severity so abruptly is very unusual. so one would think of a neurologic event. is this the manifestations of a tumor. is it a mini stroke, is it a seizure, is it infection or something like that. the third category has to do with intoxication by substances, either medicines prescribed by a doctor which he took in the wrong way or he's self medicating with something. >> what do you call the first one? >> the first would be a psychiatric disorder. >> is there a name for that.

>> manic or psychotic mood disorder. >> yes, go ahead. >> more than one passenger told us that as they wrestled him he was foaming at the mouth. is that indicative of one of these three? >> yes. there's several things about the description of his behavior that would point you in the direction of one or two of these rather than the others. he had stigmata of an organic procedure, pointing to the neurologic or drug intoxication. he was foaming at the mouth. he was sensitive to noise. there was too much noise. he told the air traffic controller to keep it down. the third thing is he ran out of the cabin saying i need to splash water on my face like he was having tactile discomfort that he needed to cool down with water. these point to either being drug intoxication or some neurologic event. >> a couple of questions that come up, i don't believe -- and correct me if i'm wrong, john -- that we have heard much in the

last couple days as to what his state is now. so we don't know if this is still ongoing. >> we haven't. and what the fbi people who talked to him at the airport was his behavior was the same off the plane as it was on. they couldn't get a straight answer. he was rambling. he was incoherency. >> did that give you any further indication? >> well, first of all, this is a mystery just because we don't have enough information. but it's nothing that's going to take a long time to solve. they may in the hospital already know the basis of this problem and the diagnosis. because all they have to do is do an examination, take a careful history, run some laboratory tests and do a brain scan and you have the diagnosis. without having that information, my -- if you inside what is your guess, one thing that i noticed is that he apparently had been selling a diet supplement. so one might infer he was in a nutritional program to lose weight or diet.

and there are stimulants or when you go on a diet you tamper with your brain chemistry. and this could have been a factor. >> one quick question, john, quick. >> yeah. >> has there been this kind of incident in the cockpit anywhere else in airline history? >> there have been a couple. air canada from london to toronto. they had to forcibly remove the copilot. and egypt air co pilot downed a play, killing 217 people on board. he was under a lot of stress at the time. >> thank you both. >> still a lot to consider. we should consider that the charges come with a possibly 20-year sentence and $200,000 fine. thanks. you can buy a whole lot today with your smartphone, swipe and an app. but does it also make it easier for crooks to swipe your personal info. we'll take a look at that. and looking ahead to money, oprah winfrey will be with us. you're watching "cbs this morning".

national correspondent dean reynolds reports, they can also backfire. >> reporter: the number is tempting. >> oh, man, i need that. i'm going to play a couple of tickets. >> reporter: in chicago last-minute ticket sales were brisk and hopes were high. >> this could be it. this could be the winner. >> reporter: it's 176 million to 1 that he or anybody else will win the largest lottery payoff in history. so many have joined groups. >> 275 mega million tickets. >> reporter: lowering the odds a bit, spreading around the payment and hopefully the payoff. >> everybody in my job, we go through a pool. i got to share with all them and all my friend and family. >> reporter: last year one group from new york state shared top prize and pocketed $19 million apiece. >> every time the jackpot gets around $100 million we go to our co-workers in the office, ask them if they want to get in.

>> reporter: it doesn't always end well. the woman in connecticut suing her sister for keeping all the lottery loot. the guy in new jersey guilty of trying to cheat five co-workers out of $38.5 million. >> did you feel betrayed? >> reporter: or the woman in california, seen on this convenience store surveillance tape, passing out lottery tickets she just bought last friday, only to demand them back when one turned out to be worth $260,000. and yet they keep buying in groups or on their own. >> mega millions. >> reporter: chicagoan brian thompson has a good reason to go solo. >> i'm not doing an office pool because i need that whole $500 million. >> reporter: when it comes to the lottery, hope springs eternal. >> good number. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," i'm dean reynolds in chicago. >> we sure hope you don't have to turn your hope into heart ache. let's ask jack ford about that this morning, to avoid that. i'm thinking there's so much money, i really don't want one person to win.

i think it's better if it's shared. >> if i'm the one person you would be delighted. >> i did get one quick pick. but i do think it's better if it's shared. i really do believe that. so, should we have a written contract, do you think? >> you don't need one. a lot of people think that you can't have a contract or agreement unless it's in writing. one of the jokes used to be, an oral contract isn't worth the paper it's not written on, right? the reality is, you can have an oral agreement that's enforceable. if the four of us said, let's throw a couple bucks in the pool, we'll buy them, split it equally, we throw the money in. that's a deal. that's enforceable. but is it a better idea to have something written down so you all understand what you're doing? that's always a better idea. put down the names of people, have everybody sign it, up at the top it says we're chipping in two bucks once a week for the next five weeks and split it equally. depending on how many people we have. always a better idea. >> we did that earlier in the

week. the crew -- no, no, the crew organized it and i handed larry my ten bucks and larry handed me pages and pages of every single ticket. i mean that's helpful too. >> the case we just saw a few moments ago in dean's report was the guy said he went -- bought the tickets for everybody and bought his own. he said, lo and behold, what a surprise. >> mine won. >> it wasn't yours, it was mine that won. the answer, if you're in a pool, is it helpful to do that? absolutely. it eliminates that. money, that kind of money, can change relationships real fast. >> really fast. >> take a shot of everyone you know and everybody knows if they're in or not. >> if you're normally in, you play every week, we've seen these stories in the news, oh, you were sick that dat or -- do you have any claims? >> that's a good question. you might. it depends on the circumstances. if you have a deal where you do it once a week, you've been doing it for years, and the plan was if you're out sick the pool covers you and you double your contribution the next week. that's what they've done forever.

the one week they win, you're not there. you could make an argument this was our agreement. you were going to cover for me as we covered for everybody else. you could have a good argument you might be able to get your hands on tho

>> we want to take a moment to get you caught up out of washington. president obama spoke in the washington rose garden calling on doing eliminate billions of dollars in tax breaks for oil companies. >> today members of congress have a simple choice to make. they can stand with the big oil companies or they can stand with the american people. >> the president said oil producers are making record profits and don't need any government help. in his remarks he said oil subsidies keep us trapped in the past. later today the senate votes on a proposal to end oil subsidies and we'll have more on this story tonight on the cbs evening news.

good morning. today on "healthwatch," the weather and your joints. many people claim their joints are accurate meteorologists, even though it's sunny outside and an achy knee or shoulder predicts it's about to rain. is it just an old wives' tale? research says no. a recent study looked for an association between weather and chronic pain in four cities. two-thirds of patients reported the weather affected their pain levels. most said they felt changes in their pain even before the weather changed. scientists say this has to do with shifts in barometric pressure. it drops before cold or rain sets in. the lower air pressure allows tissues to expand and that can put pressure on the joints. and people with arthritis or injuries may have hypersensitive nerves that can pick up the most subtle changes. but rarely is moving to a new climate necessary. some people may need to increase their pain medications during a shift of seasons, but after time, the body adjusts to the barometric changes and the pain resolves. of course, the silver lining is, you may know to pick up an umbrella before anyone else.

you mean we never had a woman of color on the cover? >> how old were you? >> i was 21. >> did you even know what that meant at the time for you to be on the cover of "vogue"? >> i knew that's what every model aspires to do, be on the cover of "vogue." that means you have made it as a model. i didn't know i was the first person of color on the cover. and with that huge responsibility that i as a 21-year-old wasn't prepared for. >> that's a lot, for someone at age 21. when did you realize that the responsibility that you mentioned that you had -- how do you handle that? >> well, it was almost immediate. and what i did was i made a conscious decision to find out who i was and where i came from and what this whole thing is about because i grew up in buffalo, new york. i was very sheltered. 1965, we were just passing voting rights for black people in america. so 1974, that cover stood for

that finally american mainstream is recognizing that black women or black people are beautiful, too. >> yeah. >> so it was huge. and it remains huge. >> i think you look fantastic. how old are you? do you mind saying? >> i'm 59 years old. >> 59, whoa, whoa, whoa. >> yeah. >> this is what my brain has to make a shift that you're a grandmother. >> yes. >> i'm telling you, you make grandmamma look good. >> well, i'm called softa. my daughter and i were arguing about that. she says, ma, i don't think she's going to be able to pronounce softa. and ava says softa. >> how old is ava? >> she's eight months. >> and she can talk? >> yes. >> was softa her first words? >> no, mamma and daddy and then softa. >> softa means grandmother in hebr hebr hebrew.

>> so this is -- i was reading, you've said that this is a constructive reality show. >> yes. >> what do you mean by constructive? >> we went into the show with a purpose, meaning that we wanted to build a stronger bond. we always had a strong bond. but i thought that -- well, it's a way to get my granddaughter and my daughter and the son i never had in my house and around me, which i always loved. but also it was a chance for us to talk about things that we never get a chance to speak about. and i know i have questions with my mother and they never really tell you what was going on, did you and dad ever have a fight? i thought it was a great opportunity because he was an expectant mother then, it would show her some things about herself. i'm always in this self-discovery mode and process -- >> aren't we all? >> yes. >> it clearly show that is you and your daughter had some issues between the two of you.

>> yes. >> and then you're putting it all out there for us to see. >> yes. >> i look at that and go, gosh, i don't know how people can expose themselves that is way. how do you feel about that and what's the relationship with your daughter today? >> well, how i feel about that is that the only way that i could actually get my daughter to go to a life coach and a therapist, because she's like, mom, that's great, you do that but i really don't need it. but when i said reality show -- and because she's a reality show -- yes, this is great, we'll be able to do that. it tricked her into it. and then i found out that there's a lot i don't know. and there's a lot i didn't know about myself. i really didn't know anything about myself. it's an amazing transformation and learning process for me. and what was the other question? >> and you're learning about each other. >> we're learning -- i think we're learning more about ourselves more than about each other. isn't that eerily interesting? >> interesting and always a good thing. >> yes. >> continued success, beverly.

>> thank you so much. >> 40 years to here to here you go. >> thank you so much. >> beverly still has premiers this weekend on the own network. a heated argument is going on over a new book about israel and jewish americans from everything called courageous and honest to immoral. you'll meet him when cbs "this morning" continues.,,,,,,,,,,,,,

a provocative new book is sparking passionate debate among american jewish people and supporters of israel. >> president clinton is calling "the crisis of zionism" -- pleased to have peter beinart here. there's a report in the israeli newspaper that the israeli government has put off any

attempt to stop iran's nuclear effort by military action for at least a year? >> yes, there is a report this morning. there have been lots reports about all this. who knows whether this is right? but there's one school of thought in israel that says if benjamin netanyahu is actually a fundamentally cautious person when it comes to launching wars, he didn't do it in his first term as prime minister and actually he's not as eager to do this as some people suspect. >> the book addresses the question at the heart of the israeli/palestinian questions. why we can't find a pathway to an agreement which would lead to a two-state solution. in your judgment n this book, what's the principle? >> there have been two huge failures on each side. it talks about a corrupt dictator to bring his people where they needed to go. but those of us who support and love israel have to recognize

that the continued building of israeli settlements in the west bank makes the two-state institution harder and harder and imperils israel's future as a democratic jewish state. >> why did they do it? >> i think that just as our own government gets sometimes taken over by interest that are not nervie -- serving the national good, there were interest that is pushed the project further and further. the israeli government has had an enormous amount of difficulty getting a handle on it even though many israelis recognize it threatens what we care about the most. >> it's also a hot topic here in the united states. these settlements. and you're a jewish american, you're an orthodox jew. this has to be tough for you to come out there and take the stance that's not exactly popular. how is that playing? >> i go to north synagogue. we sent our kids to jewish schools. the glory about jewish tradition is all about open debate, being open to a whole range of

perspectives. that's the tradition in which i was raised. there's much more debate under the surface in the american jewish community than some people realize. >> is it that it's tough to talk about it public because it isn't always well-received, perhaps take that side or broach the subject that maybe we need to rethink the way settlements are happening? >> sometimes people take the view that you shouldn't air dirty laundry in front of everybody else. but i don't think that -- i think it actually shows what's best about the jewish tradition and what's best about israel that we can actually have these public debates, both there at israel as a vibrant democracy and also here. >> i think sometimes when you need to have a conversation, when there is conflict -- it was interesting, i don't know if you could see this, but before you come on, you're in the green room. and the lead to you says your work is being called courageous and honest to one-sided and immoral. and you're looking up going, okay. i'm wondering, what does your mother say? what do your grandparents say?

i imagine this caused debate and controversy in your family, no? >> we have a range of views in our extended family and people have made those very clear to me. but i was raised with a belief that what made the jewish state of israel precious was it was founded three years after the holocaust when the stench of death still hung over europe, when israel was in a battle for its very survival and it wrote a declaration of independence that promised complete equality of social and political rights irrespective of race, religion and sex. that's the israel i was raised to believe in. and that's the israel i wrote this book to try to defend. >> is it that israel at risk? >> that israel is at risk if israel permanently occupies millions of palestinians who are barred from citizenship because they are jewish, because that will force israel to choose between its democratic and jewish -- >> there has to be a two-state solution? >> yes, for toirz live up to its

own founding principles. >> is there undue influence on the president of the united states? >> no. i'm very proud that american jews are active citizens. but it's the interpretation of what pro-israel is. pro-american is what is in line with the principles of our constitution and declaration of independence. that's the way i define pro-israel as well. >> you have a chapter called the jewish president in the book. >> i think obama was influenced by jewish cultures coming of age in chicago than any other american president. i think he understands a lot of what i think is the best about the jewish tradition. >> thank you, peter. don't forget to get your mega millions ticket. >> that does it for us. up next, your local news. we'll see you tomorrow. ,,,,
