welcome to "cbs this morning." good morning norah, i missed you. >> thank you, charlie, good to be here. >> there is emotional reaction across the country after the acquittal of george zimmerman. a jury found him not guilty saturday night in the shooting death of 17-year-old trayvon martin. in hollywood 64 arrested in a protest this morning. a large group had gathered on sunset boulevard. police in riot gear broke up the crowd. >> in philadelphia, about 700 people marched to protest. we begin our coverage with don dahler in "new york times" square. >> reporter: good morning, charlie, norah, and viewers out west. new york city was a site one of the largest protests. it began downtown moving through times square and on northward to yankee stadium in the bronx. that is a distance of about nine
7:04 am
miles. despite the size of the crowd and the emotions involved new york city police say it was a peaceful protest. protesters started gathering sunday afternoon, a day after the acquittal of george zimmerman. >> the justice system isn't looking out for us. this verdict has set us back in this country. that's why we're all out here today. >> reporter: soon hundreds of people were marching north to types square taking over city streets and bringing traffic to a standstill. many believe it was a clear case of racial profiling that led to trayvon martin's death and say the justice system failed. >> if the roles were reversed that man wouldn't have got off. >> reporter: as protesters took to the street politicians took to the air waves. >> the fact is we have the best judicial system in the world and we respect it. >> if the rule is you got to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, there were plenty of reasonable doubts there. >> i worry about all those young
7:05 am
black kids out there that see a system of justice that maybe doesn't respendond to them. >> reporter: this is just the latest in the ongoing national debate over the circumstances in trayvon martin's death. protest organizers say they're planning more action in the coming weeks. the nypd says there were only minor arrests. the protesters say this is far from over. there is another rally scheduled for 7:00 p.m. tonight in the bronx. charlie, norah. president obama's calling for calm in a statement released yesterday. the president said, quote, i know this case has elicited strong passions. i know those passions may be running even higher. we are a nation of laws. a jury has spoken. >> george zimmerman faces a new series of problems. the case first received national attention when mark strassmann reported it right here on "cbs this morning" in march of last year. he joins us now from sanford, florida.
7:06 am
mark good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie and norah. there are all sorts of he perceptions of george zimmerman. now that this verdict is behind him, he's eager to step back into the world. but not everyone's eager to welcome him back. zimmerman has his freedom back. his gps ankle monitor is off. he can travel abroad and live anywhere in america. but he will never get back the life he led before he killed trayvon martin. >> i'm sure if he could weave his magic wand he would sort get his life back. >> reporter: attorney general mike o'mara defended zimmerman. me says the crime watch volunteer will have to look other his shoulder for the rest of his life. >> he has to be very cautious and protective of his safety because there's still a fringe element who have said at least in tweets and everything else that they want revenge. >> reporter: with his not guilty verdict, zimmerman is now eligible to carry a concealed weapon again.
7:07 am
but to his critics, zimmerman's name has become a racial flash point. >> it boils down to you got a 17-year-old kid who is minding his own business wearing a hoody, and gets accosted, getsful lowgets ful followed by an individual who wants to be a cop. >> reporter: the department of justice has said it will now review the trial records for possible civil rights violations. zimmerman once dreamt of a career in law enforcement. he could again. but first he has to live with knowing he shot and killed an unarmed teenager. lawyer don west helped defend him. >> this is something no one gets other. there's no winners here. there's no monsters here. that's the tragedy. >> reporter: now that the verdict is in, the court will release all the case evidence. commarly ly charlie and norah, zimmerman could reclaim the gun he used to kill trayvon martin. >> legal analyst jack ford joins us.
7:08 am
what's next, what might the justice do? >> they will look and decide whether there should be any federal prosecution. people may say wouldn't that be a violation double jeopardy. the answer is not necessarily. if he was tried again, it wouldn't be for murder and manslaughter. there's certain situations where the same set of facts and circumstances can give rise to different state and federal charges. here's what happens. the justice department is always very cautious when there's been a state level trial. they will look to see -- it's not enough -- >> isn't it a high standard? >> very high standard. it is not enough for people to disagree with the verdict. the justice department will jump in if there's a failure to prosecute or if there was some fundamental flaw with the first trial. there's a lot to look at. including they look at the first trial and say, is there any way to believe the second trial would be any different here? statistically, it's not probable that it would happen. but we've seen in the past the rodney king case. it's certainly possible that the justice department can say we're
7:09 am
going to prosecute the civil rights violation, attacking trayvon because he was black. >> don't they have to show some - sort of animus? >> exactly. it would be the notion that george zimmerman violated trayvon martin's civil rights the right to be safe and not be attacked, because of his race. that's the important part. >> that's one avenue for the department of justice. what about the family in the civil case? >> the family could file a civil case. a good comparison the o.j. simpson trial. found not guilty in the criminal case. the family sued him civilly. first, you're looking for monetary damages, there's no jail involved. it's the families against each other essentially. but there are differences. the standard of proof in a civil trial is much much lower. civil trial, a mere preponderance of the evidence. in a civil trial, they can compel george zimmerman to testify. >> what kind of second guessing will there be about this trial?
7:10 am
>> i think people have to realize -- we've talked about this, from the beginning, this was a hard case for the prosecution. i think you'll see people saying, why didn't you just go with a manslaughter charge? the reality is with trials and verdicts there's always disagreement. but here there shouldn't be real surprise. >> jack ford, thank you. nsa leaker edward snowden has documents he claims detailing how the national security agency actually works. that's according to his main contact in the press, guardian columnist glenn greenwald. he claims the new revelations could show people how to evade nsa surveillance. >> snowden spoke to reporters friday for the first time since he arrived at mosscowmoscow's international airport. >> i had family a home and i lived in great comfort. i also had the ability to search for and read your communication.
7:11 am
>> our senior correspondent john miller's with us. he's a former deputy director of national intelligence. good morning. >> good morning. >> so what -- if he had the nsa blueprints, what does that mean and how damaging could it be? >> well, what that most likely is, is for every big program in the nsa, there's a briefing document, usually a power point presentation on some level of pretty intimate detail that explains what the program is how it works, how it relates to other programs. it won't have the collection platforms, meaning if we had a bug in putin's office it wouldn't list that in the program. but it would say how we collect. if you were the adversary, you'd look at a document like that and say, oh, so this is how all this works. well, let me use countermeasures to close up those vulnerabilities. it would be helpful to enemies of the u.s. >> edward snowden has been seen some as a whistleblower. now he's saying look i know
7:12 am
how the whole nsa works. i have the blueprint for it. what's the motivation behind saying that now? >> that's a hard question. because, you know, our story begins simply enough i want to tell americans that in the dragnet that sweeps up communications of terrorists and spies, some of their communications gets vacuumed up in that and someone may look at it. it's different to say, while we're at it here are the documents that explain how the nsa collects against foreign adversaries, whether they're terrorists in afghanistan -- >> as he's trying to seek asylum in russia. >> exactly. thematically he's made an interesting turn here. it's hard to understand. unless you boil it down to the ideology that either spying is wrong, which at what point all countries are supposed to stop or that spying should be done out in the open, at which point it's not spying. >> what's your best guest as to what happens to edward snowden?
7:13 am
>> we're in a nightmare scenario charlie because, you know, the one likely scenario is that he -- that u.s. pressure against all the places he wants to go succeeds and that in the great law of unintended consequences we push a guy with a bag full of strategic secrets on eavesdropping into the hands of the adversary we're probably eavesdropping against an awful lot which would be russia. >> he claims he has this dead man's pack what's that? >> this is a series of encrypted data drops he has left with trusted associates that if anything happens to him, supposedly, these people have the keys -- or know how to find the keys to open those things and out spill the rest of the secrets. >> one of the top obama administration's top envoys is on the ground in egypt. the highest ranking american to visit cairo since morsi was ousted by the military. margaret brennan is in washington. >> reporter: good morning, charlie and norah. the state department's number two diplomat deputy secretary
7:14 am
of state bill burns, is meeting now with egypt's political leaders and armed forces. it's a controversial visit. as those rulers came to power through a military coup. thousands of mohamed morsi's supporters continued to take to the streets as deputy secretary burns meets with the military regime that ousted morsi from power just 12 days ago. he remains under house arrest. burns will push for morsi's release and appeal for a halt to what the u.s. calls politically motivated attacks. violence has killed 92 people in recent days most of them supporters of the recent president. the main goal pressure egypt's leaders to hold elections soon and to maintain stability. the u.s. provides more than $1 billion in military financing, in part to maintain its peace treaty with israel. it's a worry for prime minister netanyahu. >> our concern is the peace treaty with egypt.
7:15 am
one of the foundations of that peace treaty was the u.s. aid given to egypt. >> reporter: the obama administration is under pressure to remind cairo that the remainder of that aid could depend on their actions. on sunday senators john mccain and lindsey graham called for the administration to suspend assistance in order to force democratic change a threat that may be limited. the senators acknowledge that the u.s. should continue its counterterrorism and security agreements with egypt. secretary burns will also meet face-to-face with activists, religious leaders and the business community, many of whom remain deeply suspicious of washington's motives. >> thank you. an autopsy is set today for corey monteith, the star of "glee," found dead on saturday. the 31-year-old had a history of drug abuse and checked himself into a treatment facility in april. >> a heat wave will bake the northeast this week and texas
7:16 am
will get some much needed rain. meteorologist jeff berardelli is tracking it all. >> looks like low to mid-90s for a good chunk of the country this upcoming week. it is going to last probably at least the next five days or so. during the day today, high temperatures, hottest along the eastern seaboard about 95 on the i-95 to corridor from hartford to philadelphia. notice temperatures out to the west a little cooler but those will heat up as the heat wave expands to the west. the jet stream is to the north. locking all the cool air in canada. temperatures in the 90s. feels like temperatures up to 100 degrees for a good chunk the week. here's some good news for texas. the rain we've seen around 2 to 4 inches already, we're likely to see another 2 to 4 to ease the extreme drought and to ease the heat. today's going to be a bargain in dallas at only 80 degrees. >> jeff thank you. the royal baby batch is
7:17 am
reaching fever pitch. the future king or queen of england could arrive at any moment. prince william and soon to be mom kate seem to be taking it in stride. mark phillips is outside st. mary's hospital in london. mark, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, norah, good morning, charlie. the perceived wisdom is the royal birth could be any day now. the country is doing what william and kate are doing and frankly what we're doing, waiting. for all the talk about how this royal baby will be different from all the other royal babies this royal father to be could be found in familiar regal surroundings waiting for the big day. on the polo pitch. the sport of kings is still apparently the sport of kings in waiting. prince william spent part of the weekend charging around on a pony. although with more modern transport at the ready should the most important all calls come. >> he played great polo.
7:18 am
yeah, i should think it's brilliant. i believe he had a helicopter on standby. >> other people were on standby too. the world's paparazzi have they places staked out at the hospital where kate is scheduled to give birth any day now. this of course won't just be any royal baby. it will be born to the royal glamour couple and is the first baby that will be in line to the throne whether it's a boy or a girl. the old boys first rule is being disposed of. >> i thing a lot of people here think this child will be a girl. i think it will be lovely for the queen to know in her lifetime there will be another queen beyond her reign. >> reporter: reason enough for the expected public to look its bet. in the meantime this is a book maker's paradise. you can bet on when the baby will company, on what sex it will be and of course on what name it might have. the main betting, by the way, is
7:19 am
that the due date would have been yesterday. >> thank you martin. time to show you some of this morning's headlines from around the globe.

sermon from the balcony. pope francis could be seen shaking hands and kissy babies. the move is a big one for tesla. the young automaker sells cars without going through local dealerships. some call it the wave of the future. welcome. >> thank you. >> so what's the significance of this for tesla, and what might they try to do to change the old way of doing business? >> well it's significant because it's so different than the traditional way of selling cars. that's the way it's been for 50 years here in the u.s. what's changed now is the tesla says they can sell direct. they want to be lie -- imagine amazon selling you a car.
7:44 am
they have some stores but only 30 35. you would actually bypass the dealers and that has dealers upset. >> there are laws protecting dealers, right? >> yes. in most states you can't bypass them. they're the guys with the little league teams, that can run a small town and keep legislators from letting people sell direct. it's different for them because they're more of a silicon valley model. they're making an electric car but they're also saying we can get the best technology from all sorts of places. the frame is coming from great britain. it's very high end and very expensive car. >> but the dealer -- they don't need a dealer network is.
7:45 am

utopian news show. >> i have to tell you the difference between writing a show and doing the news is the twirchs between drawing a binlding and doing a building which is to say they're almost always unrelated. >> the thing that i like about the show is when you look at the news today, the zimmerman verdict, ash ya na plane crash, weight for the royal babe do you see any of those making their way on southbound 2 of the newsroom? >> it would be season 3. first of all, no one's asked us to do a third season. >> would you like a third season? >> of course. whou who wouldn't. >> i would like to ask you about cory monteith. you've been very candid about your drus use and he has too. before he died he was talk with friends and before he died he
8:39 am
was in such a good place. that's why it's such a surprise. >> let me be clear i don't know any of the surkss surrounding what happened to cory and i wouldn't want to speculate on anything. i want to make clear to your viewers. i had a cocaine addiction for ten years. this last april, it's been 12 years that i've been clean. being in good mood that's dangerous time. >> how so? >> once you're clean and sober, you don't know how to celebrate anymore. you've forgotten how do that. for me those have been the strarjest times, opening night, winning an award. what you want to do is the stick with your friending frmt but something so fantastic is happening that's the moment that you think, boy, i deserve it
8:40 am
tonight or this is the way i know how to celebrate. frankly what you have to do is go to bed early that night. >> that's why i wut stunning to his friends. he was good. >> yeah. if there's an addict that you love, don't look for them to be in a terribly dark place. it can happen just as easily when you're on top of the world. >> back to "the newsroom," what gift do you have and what's the gift to lie dodger. >> they used to take me to see place when i was way too young to under like "who's afraid of virginia woolf" when i was 9d years old. that becomes your new style.
8:41 am
>> in the news. reus charlie rose jane fonda who plays a character says she thinks her character would have slept with charlie rose. >> yeah. explain this to me please. >> it's a good compliment. >> good choice. i thought so too. >> jane fonda in this season has surprised us with some of the things she's said. she's certainly not done with her life. >> why did she choose me? >> who wouldn't choose you, aaron sorkin. >> back at you. my favorite moment is bill mcavoy listen in the bar. that just got me right there. >> thanks. and lots of times when i'm stuck which is all the time one way is i drive around and listen to music. sometimes i'll listen to a song -- i want to write the segment

. writer mark leibovich has written a new book a piece inside the culture and personalities. it's called "this town plenty of parking and a funeral." good morning. >> hi norah. >> you talk about people trading on influence, being part of the club, which you admit being part of. >> right. >> what's new. >> what's new is there's so much more money than there ever was before. this was not true 30 40rk years ago. and also there's so much more media. people don't know the full sort of extent of the circus that washington has become over the last decade or so. >> here has it become any different? you describe d.c. is that any different than l.a.
8:46 am
or new york? >> not as much as you'd think. there's one big difference. washington is built on service. american people are paying for this. my even this is a city that is fundedpy, you know taxpayers, corporations are just throwing a lot of money into it. and frankly, i mean, there's an expectation that it should be different. so, yes, it has a lot in common with silicon valley wall street. i mean washington is supportedly a different kind of city. >> are you worried about people in washington speaking to you at this point. associate misfit probably teased as a youngster at the gym. magnetism of a dried snail who could pass as an oddball. senator schumer, a bombastic jew
8:47 am
and -- wow, mark, are you worried about the next time you one of these? >> first of all, i don't think it's relevant. >> what's the point you're making. >> as a journalistist you have to write what you see. you know journalism should be uncomfortable. that's what we should be doing. we should be making people and readers uncomfortable. people are focusing on the who news and gossip and what very you but the more serious group, people who run your country and to run your country. >> this chicken and egg issue which is do they give them what
8:48 am
they want and they've told them in a lot of ways and if in fact the public showed it appreciated more analysis and more gative reporting and more foreign news it would be there. i think it would. i think so some degree the marketplace speaks. but i also think in politic as what you've seen recently is america does speak, you know with their numbers. immigration reform is going to get a lot closer now than it ever did because people see the numbers ben fitz there. that your book takes a whack at journalistism is one cocktail awaying being a sellout. is there a thing where they gain access in order to garner some insider information? >> yes there is. >> do you know what i'm saying?
8:49 am
>> i totally do. >> all of -- all of your anecdotes in the book are from you an tends the very cocktail parties that you dislike. >> right. well, now at owl well, not all of them. when you go you're working. you pick up a lot of stuff. you could have a larger fills so calf luxury. i don't have the luxury of being a fellow one. >> you call yourself out when you think i was grinning a little bit too much in that picture and the other title could have been suck up city. >> absolutely. thichlg that's a big part of it. >> good to see you.
