8:01 am
>> he was a troubled man with a history of angry outbursts. >> critics are asking why a man who reported hearing voices could still have access to a military base. >> this pattern of misbehavior in the navy when he was a reservist, why didn't those red flags reach these contractors who hired him? >> this is something that congress needs to look at and say, do we need to raise this bar? >> this is one example of what they'll have to be cleaning. you realize why so many mountain communities are cut off. >> the search continues for a 14-year-old girl and her kidnappers. two men broke into her home in the middle of the night on tuesday. >> local and state investigators are now working with the fbi. >> it was looked at like the wild west. anybody could say anything about anybody and you couldn't do anything about it. the law's catching up. >> were you afraid? >> yeah. >> you were afraid? >> of course. >> a long way up.

8:03 am
behind me. the pilot and crew say they knew it made them a potential target but they say they didn't have time to worry about that. they had a job to do. when the pilot and his crew arrived minutes after the shooting began, they got word that the gunman was still actively engaged in his deadly attack. what is it like to fly into a hot zone with an active shooter? >> you don't have time to thing too much about the possibilities other than what we need to do and anticipate what can happen. >> reporter: did you worry at all that you were making yourselves a big fat target for this shooter? >> oh we were fully aware that we were a big, fat, blue and white target but that's our job. that's what we're supposed to do. >> reporter: their task was to rescue anyone able to get to the roof of building 197, but they also had to protect themselves. mike abatty provided cover from the open door of the helicopter with his m-16. >> i was concerned about the
8:04 am
shooter firing at our aircraft. thought i'd be best suited you know getting a weapon and at least being able to provide some type of support. >> reporter: down on the roof a woman shot in the shoulder in desperate need of medical attention. the team lowered a basket to hoist her up. >> as we hoisted her up to the side of the aircraft we're hovering and very very vulnerable to ground fire at that point. and we weren't going to stay in that position any longer than it was absolutely necessary, so we didn't even take the time to bring her inside the aircraft. >> reporter: so she's bleeding fairly profusely and hanging outside an helicopter. how did she respond to that? >> she was a strong strong woman. she was bleeding but she was in a better place there than she was when she was on the rooftop. >> reporter: they're being called heroes. >> you feel like a hero? >> no. speaking for myself. we have a job to do. we're proud of our job, we're proud of the role. but it's our job.
8:05 am
it's what's expected of us and what you should expect of us. >> reporter: in all the pilot and crew of eagle one rescued four people from the roof of that building. as for the woman shot in the shoulder, they say she was bleeding so profusely, if she hadn't made it to the hospital very quickly, she might not have made it. but in fact she did survive and is listed in fair condition. >> amazing story. what great first responders there. the gunman bought the gun he used in a gun shop on saturday. the shop refused to sell him an assault rifle. president obama made another pitch for tighter federal gun laws. >> i have now, in the wake of newtown initiated a whole range of executive action. we've put in place every executive action that i proposed right after newtown happened. so i've taken steps that are within my control. the next phase now is for congress to go ahead and move. >> senate majority leader harry

reid said he still doesn't have enough votes to pass any gun control bills. it was no real surprise when william daley entered the race months ago. he'd come from one of the state's leading political families but this week he dropped his campaign to pat quinn. welcome. >> thanks, charlie. >> you say you weren't prepared for the enormity of this. a man who spent his life in politics, number one and coming from the family you do was it that or simply the idea of being a candidate, you didn't feel like you had the stuff of a candidate? >> i think it was a combination of things to be honest with you. i've been around politics my whole life. i enjoy it. i think it's important for people to get involved. but when you get actually in that arena and you look at the depth of the problems that we have in our state and you look at a long-term period from five minimum to nine years if you're successful, that's a long time. and it's probably like sometimes
8:07 am
there are hundreds of thousands of reporters around america today thinking they can come here and do this job and it would be easy. and trying to get up at 3:00 in the morning. >> they'd be wrong. >> they'd be wrong. and it really gets down to a personal decision as to whether this is what you want for the next number of years. >> when you look at the chicago papers this morning people think this can't be the real story. is there a scandal we don't know about, are you in poor health? >> i hope not. >> and i hope not, too. >> on both cases. >> on both cases, exactly. but how difficult was this decision and take us behind the scenes to make this decision did you go meditate somewhere some talk with your wife and family? >> a lot of sleepless nights. you wonder it is this what you want to do. you may think and have a dream that you want to do something and then you get into it and you say, is this really me? my wife and i enjoy life greatly and she's a great partner. my kids are great.
8:08 am
i have three little granddaughters. you do face these questions and say is this the best thing for you. it may be a dream you have. and you may think you'd be pretty great at it. and i know i would have been. it was a tough decision but the right decision tore myself and for the people of illinois and that's what it's about. >> you served in the white house as president obama's chief of staff. i want to get your take on a couple of issues on syria. we heard the past two defense secretaries that served president obama, secretary gates and panetta said it was wrong for the president to seek approval from congress to strike syria. do you agree with that? >> i don't agree with that. it's too easy to go to war. we've proven that in the last number of years. the american people have to understand that not only a sliver of america who are in the military sacrifice but all americans do. and the elected officials should be forced to stand up and make a decision. i believe the president was right in wanting to go to syria.
8:09 am
i think the congress should have backed him. yes, we are war weary, but we've got to draw a line somewhere. >> leon panetta said to me even if he doesn't get congressional authority, he should go ahead and order an air strike assuming the compromise doesn't work. >> i owould agree with that. but i believe especially when the congress was probably going to punt the ball and not make a decision i think the president was right. he stated i have the authority to do. i remember when we went into libya -- >> why go to congress if you're not going to pay attention to them? >> it's not that you not pay attention to them. the american people have to see their legislators stand up and be part of a decisionmaking. but i believe the president has the authority to do what he was going to do. but i think for our democracy and for people's engagement especially when you're going to war, even though it may have been limited, it's the right thing to do. >> let's talk about gun control. the president was not able to get it passed even after sandy
8:10 am
hook. now with the latest shooting at the d.c. navy yard anything more he should or can be doing on this? >> i think until the american people stand up and say enough of this, the truth of the matter is -- i spent time in the banking business. a lot of politicians like to beat up the bankers. this is big business. this is not only about rights of people. sure there's a second amendment. this is a big business multiple billions of dollars. that's what this is about. they're protecting an industry they're protecting of big profits and that's what it's about. and until the american people see that and elective official see that withy won't get gun control laws. and that's a disgrace. >> more important than human life? >> to many people money is more important than human lives. that's the disgrace. >> a new book by richard wolffe and some call you a walking disaster when you were chief of
8:11 am
staff? do you care to respond? >> no i thought many of them were walking disasters. there's also when a new chief of staff comes in. did he have relationships with others. is there somebody else they wanted to get that job who didn't get that job and they're disappointed and the usual sort of politics internal that goes on, not only in the white house, i'm sure at cbs it happens. >> no it doesn't. >> nope. >> we all get along. >> stop talking crazy, man. we'll be

[ male announcer ] enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma
8:14 am
other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders, and allergic reactions have occurred. before starting enbrel your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. you should not start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores have had hepatitis b have been treated for heart failure, or if you have symptoms such as persistent fever bruising, bleeding or paleness.

if you overrotate at a certain rpm the blood has only one way to leave you which is through your eyeballs which means you're going to die. it took me a lot of time to develop that spin. the big problem is there is no protocol. you cannot practice with this. you go for supersonic or you don't. >> i heard you say you weren't claustrophobic but you were concerned about the suit so much so that a ketch came through. what did he do for you? >> the big problem is i had no problem but then later on the big task was to spend five hours in the suit because this was the primary goal and just by think about about spending five hours in the suit, it's really hard to wreath because it takes a lot of force. it started to freak me out, gave me anxious feelings. >> you had a breakdown. what did the coach say to you? >> he talked about how do you feel inside the suit? you have to accept the suit as

8:44 am
but we have a long way to go. >> there is a new study out today about the pay gap, which has been talked about great deal, and yet last year women earned 76.5 cents to every dollar a man makes. why does that still exist. >> because we have a cheap labor source on which the country is running. i mean the biggest economic stimulus this country could possibly have is the $2 billion put into the economy if we had equal pay just for the work that women are already doing >> and yet, jarngs this is about the lilly ledbetter act. this is an issue that's been at the forefronlt for the forefront for three decades. what do you do. >> how do we do it. >> we do it in all kinds of ways. we ask for what we're worth which women don't always do. >> right. >> we sue. we bring actions.
8:45 am
