7:03 am
morning." good morning. >> it is hot. >> it is getting hot. as you wake up in the west the eastern united states is dealing with the fourth day of punishing heat. tens of millions under threat from the hottest weather of the summer. a dome of high pressure is sitting over a huge area. it stretches from the east coast to the ohio valley to the great lakes. >> highs in the mid-90s are expected in washington, d.c. and virginia with heat indexes in triple digits. meteorologist kate bilo is keeping an eye on it. >> good morning to viewers out west. here in philadelphia and all along the east coast, we're already starting to smoulder on what is day four of an extended heat wave that will only get worse before it gets better. let's take a look at temperatures. where we've been and where we're headed this week. temperatures have been in the mid-90s. this is not atypical for this time of the year. generally, this is the hottest week of the year. but what will be atypical the heat we'll feel thursday and friday. not only are temperatures in the
7:04 am
mid to upper 90s but when you factor in increased humidity it's going to feel as hot as 110 degrees. some dangerous heat especially for the elderly, young children and anyone with respiratory problems. so why is it so hot? we're centered under a dome of high pressure. this ridge of high pressure is usually over the southern plains this type of the the year. there's a storm there that shoved the heat waves further to the north and east and it's not going anywhere for the next several days. meanwhile, moisture continues to pump in from the gulf. that's going to make it feel worse and worse each day. back here live, i'm in philadelphia with our cbs 3 mobile weather lab. our weather tracker on wheels. we will track the heat and humidity conditions right through the rest of the week. stay cool and stay safe if you're in the heat. we'll send it back to charlie and norah. >> a major blow to al qaeda this morning. tarter group says its number two man in yemen has been killed by an american drone.
7:05 am
our senior correspondent john miller's a former assistance fbi director. >> he is said al shehri. he's not the number two man in al qaeda but he's the number two man in al qaeda in yemen. why is that a big deal? these are the saudi loyalists that bin laden trusted the most. they've been in yellmen. they have been the ones most effective about targeting america. they're the ones who developed and placed the underwear bomber in a plane over detroit. the three planes bound for the united states and great britain. they're the ones who publish inspire magazine which gave the recipe and by its name the inspiration for the boston marathon bombings and the bombs they used. >> how do we get him? >> this was part of a joint campaign with u.s. special forces intelligence and the yemeni military to take on al qaeda of the arabian pa numbers
7:06 am
insurance in peninsula because of the problems they make for not only the u.s. but yemen and its instability. >> let's turn to the ship that was seized with weapons on board. what do we know about that? how sophisticated or unsophisticated was the stuff on board? >> this is another chapter in a different and very interesting spy game. here is a rusty old freighter that comes through the panama canal, sticking this far out of the water, then literally goes off the radar. its signal stops blipping. and the next thing they know, it's coming back from the direction of cuba except it's sitting way lower in the water. and they say, we're shipping sugar. it turns out underneath the tons of sugar were all of these old weapons systems. apparently bound back for korea, coming from cuba. >> let me turn back to yemen, if i may. when they turn the number two man, are they easily replaceable, so that they hardly miss a beat? >> not any more.
7:07 am
i mean you've got a -- you've got a limited group there in yemen. what they're looking for is talent that comes with the technical ability, the leadership skills. this isn't about fighting u.s. forces in the field where they're expandible. these are leaders of a complex terrorist organization. this is a significant blow. but the number one guy there is still alive. in california protests continued last night after the george zimmerman verdict. this time, peaceful. in los angeles, police moved in after some of monday night's rallies turned violent leading to 14 arrests. civil rights groups are calling for protests in 100 cities this weekend. >> one of the jurors who acquitted zimmerman is putting sm of some of the blame on trayvon martin. speaking in silhouette appeared with "60 minutes" correspondent anderson cooper last night on his cnn program. >> do you think trayvon martin played a role in his own death?
7:08 am
what happened to him, this is something he also -- >> i believe he played a huge role in his death. he could -- he could -- when george confronted him, and he could have walked away and gone home. he didn't have to do whatever he did and come back and be in a fight. >> and the other jurors felt that as well? >> they did. >> four of the other five jurors put out a statement yesterday. the statement reads, in part we also wish to point out that the opinions of juror b-37 expressed on the at donenderson cooner show were her own. serving on this jury has been a highly emotional and physically draining experience for each of us. the death of a teenager weighed heavily on our hearts but in the end we did what the law required us to do. in a speech the naacp convention in orlando yesterday, attorney general eric holder sharply criticized the so-called stand your ground laws in california and other states.
7:09 am
holder says the law, in his words, senselessly expend the concept of self-defense. >> eliminating the common sense and age-old requirement that people that feel threatened have a duty to retreat outside their home if they can do so safely. by allowing and perhaps encouraging violence situations such laws undermine public safety. unfortunately, has victimized too many who are innocent. we must stand our ground to ensure that our laws reduce violence and take a hard look at laws that contribute to more violence than they prevent. >> you know charlie, this was a remarkable speech. eric holder the first african-american attorney general. he talked very personally about after trayvon martin's death counseling his own 15-year-old son if he is stopped by police. we heard for the first time eric holder talk about even when he was a young prosecutor running
7:10 am
to catch a movie in georgetown, being stopped by police. >> i'm heard that from other african-american fathers talking to their sons over the last few days. >> absolutely. we'll have more on that coming up later in the show. tomorrow on "cbs this morning," trayvon martin's parents, tracy martin and sabrina fulton will join us here. that's tomorrow right here on "cbs this morning." so-called nuclear option to avoid filibuster rules. paving the way for confirmation votes on president obama's nominees held up by republicans. >> today in the house, the gop could vote to delay two key parts of the president's signature health care law. they've done it before. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning norah and charlie. two mandates at the heart of law. one requires individuals to get insurance. the others required medium and large sized businesses to offer it to their full-time employees. house republicans are saying today both mandates are flawed
7:11 am
and should be delayed or killed while democrats say this is yet another attempt to derail the law of the land. >> the law isn't wonderful, it's a train wreck. >> reporter: a pair of setbacks for the president's signature health care law gave republicans the opening they were looking for. first, the white house announced it was pushing the laws employer machine mandate back by a year because businesses complained it was too complex. some union leaders who initially backed the law sent a letter to the president expressing deep concerns about that employer mandate. saying it creates an incentive to keep employee work hour, below 30 hours a week. house majority leader eric canter. >> what you're saying now is individuals and groups from different camps, from both sides of the political aisle, saying wait a minute this thing is going to be a nightmare. >> reporter: the white house says the law's problems are being overblown and democrats are arguing bumps in the road should be expected with a plan
7:12 am
of this size. >> if there are unintended consequences, the answer to that is to work together to solve them. the answer is not let's get rid of the entire affordable care act and throw the baby out with the bath water. >> what's wrong with the white house saying look we had an ambitious time line measure not going to meet it so in order to implement obama care properly we're going to push this deadline off? >> it's so striking that all a sudden the white house has actually come to a point where they've had to admit that obama care doesn't work. and that's the way -- >> they didn't say it doesn't work, they just said they need more time. >> they clearly have a provision that the law will not work and they say it's not ready now. we say it will never be ready. >> reporter: and he and other republicans argue, charlie and norah, it's not fair to postpone the employer mandate but still require individuals to begin purchasing insurance in october. >> the fight goes on. nancy cordes, thank you.

7:37 am
. do you believe a future republican nominee will have that view? >> sure. i believe we're a secularist society now. the more mainstream the more people the republicans can s cans can appeal to the better it is for the party. i believe that needs a big issue for the americans. economy is a big issue. so if there was a good republican candidate who had a good jobs program they could win. >> i want to get back to liz cheney because you know her well. first another position where you admit you changed. immigration reform. >> what's best for the country. tighten the border. let these people who are here illegally pay their fines, do what they have to do. >> the pathway's open. >> i mean fine. if it's 14 year what's the beef? they're here. part of the reason they here is

if you don't want to wait to get beater cell phone, you don't have to. at&t is the latest carrier to announce a new program. you pay for your phone through monthly installments instead of signing a two-year contract.
7:46 am
how does this new plan work? >> instead of buying a phone outride from the company and just paying grour service every month they're basically saying we'll give you the phone, you pay it in installments and then a year late fehr you want to get a new model and everybody does you can just swap it in and the key is we're going to reset those payments so you're starting again. >> consumers say, that's good because i want to change my phone every year but is it more expensive? >> in the long run you have to remember none of the phone calls is going do anything where you end up paying them less money. if you don't have the money up friend to spend $200 or $600 then you can pay a little bit every month but if you swap it out you never end up owning anything. >> what kind of cell phone fits the things? >> if you're one of those people who wants to get a new phone every year that makes sense but in the long run you'll pay more.
7:47 am
>> how is it different from t-mobile? >> it's different. they've lowered their prices but you're paying an extra fee, they add insurance which is nice. that ends up being a bit of a better deal but your best deal is to buy the phone outride every two years. >> why? you have a phone at the end and you can resell the phone and it has a good resale value. >> what have you ever resold your own phone? >> never. >> if you crack one or try to buy one off contract they're 600 bucks. >> there's a big aftermarket especially eye phones that keep their value for a generation or two. >> the problem is charlie usually starting out with a lot of clouds around the bay area this morning all the way into the bay and along the coastline and some of the valleys, too. but by the afternoon, more sunshine and some warmer weather is on the way.

good morning, gayle, good morning charlie, good morning, everybody. it is 8:00 a.m. in the west. welcome back to "cbs this morning." the west and east coast are baking. they say it's because millions of americans are living under a heat dome. four of the women who have acquitted george zimmerman say the juror who is breaking their silence does not speak for them. and five brothers competing at the highest levels of their sports. we'll find out what makes the gronkowskis so good but first, here's today's "eye opener at 8." not only are the temperatures in the 90s, but when you factor in the increased humidity, it will feel like 110
8:01 am
degrees. >> the heat wave comes at a bad time for people in suburban washington. they're about to lose their water for days. >> reporter: officials are comparing this to a major disaster. >> their number two man has been killed by an american drone. >> why is that a big deal? >> these are the saudi loyalists that bin laden trusted the most. >> it's time to question laws that promote self-defense and dangerous conduct. >> today the house gop could have two key pieces of signature law. >> house republicans are saying both mandates are flawed and should be delayed or killed. >> what's surprising to many is the fact that she's going to be challenging a fellow republican and solid conservative who also happens to be a friend of her family's. >> being a watchdog for regular working people, all right? >> nobody at fox is doing that but you? >> not really. there are a lot of people commentating but it's all political commentary

8:03 am
>> michio welcome. how are you, professor? >> glad to be on the show. >> so you have described this heat wave as a dome a heat dome. what does that mean? >> a heat dome is a huge stagnant mass of hot, humid air that can linger for days or weeks and be up to about a million square miles of real estate. now it's a high pressure area meaning that it bears down on lower masses of air creating a dome that seals in the heat. remember that it suppresses cloud formation. that's why the clouds are crystal. it's crystal clear which also means the sunlight can come and make things hotter. the good news is they are temporary. eventually the dome breaks up the jet stream pushes them out to the ocean. the good news is it will pass. >> i don't understand why does it happen in the first place? why does it create the dome? >> we have stagnant pockets of air and we have the jet stream interacting with them. because of the instability of the air you will find irregularities and randomness.
8:04 am
now the bad news however, is that this could be part of a larger trend. last month we had record breaking temperatures hit california, the american southwest, death valley registered 129 degrees. the hottest temperature ever recorded in the history of the united states for the month of june. and this could be part of a larger pattern because, let's face it, summers are getting longer by several days. winters are getting shorter. >> but summers are getting longer, but isn't it supposed to be hot in the summer? you know dog days of summer. and here we are in the month of july. what makes this so different? because to me after it hits 90 something degrees, it's just hot, hot hot. >> what makes a difference is we think that what happened last month was a wake-up call. no one expected these scorching, blistering temperatures to linger so long creating economic damage with crop failures and as a consequence higher food prices. so we think this could be part of a larger trend. >> something we have to live
8:05 am
with you think? >> it could be a new normal. some people say, aha, global warming, but you can't say that because there's no single incident that can prove or disprove global warming. it's the average effect. the average effect is that the earth is heating up by one degree over the last 100 years. the last decade was the hottest decade ever recorded in the history of science. >> so what does that mean for all of us who live on this planet? >> well the bottom line is first of all, air conditioning people are going to buy air conditioning units. consumer electricity. more people are going to die, especially the elderly. in europe over 100,000 people have perished because of the scorching heat waves in the last decade. food prices will rise. we're going to see more casualties. our way of life will change as summer becomes longer and winters become shorter. >> you're always full of sunshine when you come. >> too much sunshine this time. >> good to see you, professor. good to see you.

four of the jurors who acquitted george zimmerman are distancing themselves from the juror known as b-37. she says both are to blame for trayvon martin's death. her comments aired on anderson cooper's program. she is interviewed in silhouette to protect her identity. >> it was so confusing what went with what and what we could apply to what. because, i mean, there was a couple of them in there that wanted to find him guilty of something, and after hours and hours and hours of deliberating over the law and reading it over and over and over again, we decided there's just no way -- other place to go. >> the four other jurors called their service emotionally and physically draining. attorney general eric holder is sharply critical of the florida law at the heart of the zimmerman case. he told a meeting of the naacp
8:07 am
that the so-called stand your ground policy causes more violence than it prevents. holder said the killing of trayvon martin spurred him to have a very difficult conversation with his own 15-year-old son, a talk that holder said his own father had with him years ago. >> trayvon's death last spring caused me to sit down to have a conversation with my own 15-year-old son like my dad did with me. this was a father/son tradition i hoped would not need to be handed down, but as a father who loves his son and who is more knowing in the ways of the world, i had to do this to protect my boy. i am his father and it is my responsibility not to burden him with the baggage of eras long gone, but to make him aware of the world that he must still confront. >> the naacp convention is being held in orlando. that's a short distance from
8:08 am
sanford, the scene from martin's death. i thought it was interesting to see him talk so candidly. many people in that room have had that very same conversation. >> it was a very personal speech. he described when he was a young prosecutor, a young man in washington. he was running to get to a movie. he was late for it. and a police officer stopped him. >> yeah. >> and i think speaking honestly about those experiences helps other people understand. >> it reminds us once again the nation has to have a conversation. >> that's right. you know, people are so afraid of race and to talk about it. we cannot be afraid to just discuss it. that's why i thought it was great that he came out and discussed that. rolling stone's decision to put dzhokhar tsarnaev is sparking outrage. the headline reads the bomber. how a popular promising student became a monster. the 19-year-old is charged with killing four people and wounding more than 260 others. russia is hosting the 20040two

8:37 am
little mobile business. he said i need to open a place. my husband and i put our life savings into this which wasn't much and then michael my brother really funded the business and i think, you know if he were sitting here right now he'd say he probably thought it was money he'd never get back but he was wrong. >> what do you have to have? what do you think you have and what do you think you have and what do most young women entrepreneurs have to have to make it? >> i think it starts with the idea you find -- i was a frustrated consumer. you were a frustrated consumer and you fell a niche or a void and you have the confidence to do it. you're a risk taker, willing to trust your gut. i always tell women what you don't know will become your greatest asset. i've never gone to business class in my life but i listened to my gut and continued to

pursue spanx. find a need. i couldn't figure out what to wear under my white pants. >> how long did it take you before you realized this is going to be okay i'm going to be auk says or really okay? >> two years of trying to get it made. that was the hardest part of my journey. i was cold calling and they didn't quite see the idea or the concept. that's the daunting idea. once i had it made i called neiman marcus, the buyer, dragged her to the bathroom showed her my own butt and she said i'll try it. >> how much money did he lend you? >> in the beginning it was $250,000. to your point, too, when we first started, we talked to landlords we had to guarantee the very first lease. they were like what is this what are you doing? no one believed in the idea. so it took a while to get people. now we have landlords coming to us because we're bringing so
8:39 am
many women. but at the time it didn't exist. >> when you say you have so many landlords coming to you, what do you mean? >> what we found verier on we opened in 2010 and people weren't spending money like they were in the past and so what happened we were see 1g 00 women a day give or take so landlords kind of realized we can get more women in our center shopping having lunch. you know they're doing their daily getting their nails done. >> you say no cut, no color. only blow dries and both of you start when the economy wasn't so good. i would think that would be the bost worst time to start. >> crisis breeds innocent. women are going after not only beauty care and fashion but across all sectors. we seal women growing businesses in construction, in education, in health care even waste

management. and it's because they see the possibilities. barriers to entry are lower. while it takes money and visit takes less than it did in the past. you can do things today in terms of distribution online. get your friends and family to help you out but what really distinguishes these two role models for all women thinking of starting their business, they think big. they're thinking about how do i do something that allows me to support my family but how do i support something that can really fill the need and change the world and you did one other thing that's so so smart. they delegated. it's not all about me. i need someone else to help me get this off the ground. >> great conversation. great to have you here. and next up wrks we're going to
