morning." for the third time in five years the san francisco giants are world series champions. this morning the san francisco chronicle calls the team a baseball dynasty. the giants survived a ninth inning scare last night to knock out the royals in kansas city. >> they are the first team to win game seven on the road in 35 years and after the final out, thousands of fans filled the streets of san francisco. but like the other two recent wins for the city by the bay, the hometown celebration turned violent. john blackstone is outside at&t park, the giants home field, one of many areas where the crowd got out of hand. john, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. that victory was a real nail biter. some giants fans were just too excited to sleep. they came down here to at&t park to wait for their heroes to come home. the giants arrive back at about 5:00 this morning in san francisco. they brought that world series trophy right around with them to an excited city.

fireworks were set off over city hall and more dangerously over the crowds in the streets of san francisco. two people were shot as the celebrations turned violent wednesday night. revelers jumped over bonfires at climbed over vehicles. with some throwing bottles at officers trying to restore calm. 1,800 miles away in their kansas city locker room the giants had their own spirited but more peaceful celebration. it's the team's third world series championship since 2010. and for this one, they owe lots of thanks to madison bumgarner. after throwing 100 pitches three days earlier, he returned to the mound in the fifth inning and threw almost 70 more last night. >> incredible to watch. strike three. >> reporter: with a tying run on third in the bottom of the ninth, the pressure was on.

>> sandoval in foul territory. >> reporter: the giants beat the royals, 3-2, and bumgarner was named the series' most valuable player. >> mvp, mvp. >> you know, you're sitting, trying to figure out if it just really happened or not. >> reporter: while the kansas city royals were proud of being able to play game seven they were obviously less than thrilled with the series final outcome. >> as magical as our run has been, you know, to end up, you know, losing the ball game, you know, by 90 feet, you know, it's tough. >> reporter: the giants are the first road team to win game seven of the world series in more than 3 1/2 decades. a giant victory any way you look at it. while the violence last night was unwelcome, officials say it was less than the giants' two previous world series wins.

now the team will have just one day to rest before that big victory parade planned for here tomorrow. >> john, thanks. in hawaii dozens of national troops are going on guard to protect the area around the river of lava. the flow is likely to cut off the village of pahoa as soon as tomorrow. carter evans is at the scene on hawaii's big island where a local business owner says it's like slow torture. carter, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the 30-mile stretch of lava that's flowing down the volcano has actually slowed a bit in the past 24 hours, but it's still threatening dozens of homes and could eventually cut off access to this community. one of the most active volcanos on the planet is setting a river of molten lock on a collision course with the small town of pahoa. lava from the kilauea volcano is inching along. only ten yards per hour. the flow's leading edge stands

close to 150 feet. but it could grow much wider. from the air the lava has cut a smoldering swath through the dense hawaiian rain forest, consuming everything in its path, and it's less than 200 yards from pahoa's main roads, one of the town's key transportation arteries. we're flying about 500 feet above the lava flow right now. if you take a look you see a graveyard that the lava's actually gone around. from this high, you can get a good perspective how close it covers. >> residents have had well over a month to prepare for the lava, but now the reality of what's happening here is rattling this tiny community. >> everybody's on edge right now. everybody's tensions are high because everybody's feeling this pain and even if you're not showing it on the surface, it's just boiling underneath. >> why is this so different than other national disasters? >> because it's taking forever. and it's the uncertainty.

is it going to stop? >> reporter: lava rocks wrapped in tea leaves are thought to bring good luck here in hawaii. that's why we've seen offerings like these all over this community. they are gifts for madam pele, the goddess of fire. the hope is she'll be pleased and spare this town. >> carter, thanks. now to the ebola battle in maine. a nurse is breaking her quarantine this morning. kaci hickox left for a bike ride with her boyfriend. hickox told reporters last night why she wanted to break her state imposed quarantine. >> there are things we know work and all aid workers are willing to do those things. but i'm not willing to stand here and let my civil rights be violated. i'd love to be able to go to the moose shack and get an amazing slice of pizza and, again, not be worried about what people are thinking or if i'm going to get arrested by the state trooper if

i walk outside of my property. >> police remain outside of her home. state officials are tracking her every move. they're considering asking for a court order. it would keep her put for a full 21 days. >> and california is the latest state to announce new ebola protocols. but the obama administration is pushing for states to follow federal guidelines. bill plante is at the white house where the president is trying to ease fears and clear up some of the confusion. bill, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. good morning to our viewers in the west. the president is continuing to promote the federal government's flexible guidelines regarding those who have been near ebola victims over the more confining requirements now in place in some states. the president surrounded himself with doctors and nurses who worked directly with ebola patients, to make the point the disease needs to be stopped at its source. >> if we don't deal with the problem there, it will come here. >> reporter: president obama

praised american health workers who voluntarily travelled to west africa, calling their work the only solution to the crisis. >> until we stop this outbreak in wet africa, we bha continue to see individual cases in america in the weeks and months ahead. and that's true whether or not you adopt a travel ban, whether or not you adopt a quarantine. >> reporter: but the u.s. military has adopted stricter protocols. hagel made it official. a 21-day quarantine for all members of the military returning from the ebola hot zone. >> the military will have more americans in liberia than any other department. this is also a policy that was discussed in great detail by the communities. by the families of our military men and women.

they very much wanted a safety valve on this. >> reporter: dismissed allegations that having a separate policy for the military and civilians sends a mixed message. >> it's apples and oranges. i would say civilians are volen teerns. our military are not. they sign up to do any mission we provide. so it's up to us to ensure we protect them and we think that's important. >> reporter: as more states are now considering mandatory quarantine orders for returning health care workers, they're trying to stoke a very different tone here at the white house. for example, they pointed out that some of the medical professionals who were with the president at the white house on wednesday are still inside that 21-day window where they've been exposed to ebola, but they were here, they were here nonetheless. >> interesting, bill, thank you. and overnight, our don dahler was the first journalist to visit a yale student at his home after he was freed from quarantine. that story is ahead. this morning people are being told to stay away from the

remains of a rocket that exploded just after lift-off. investigators are collecting records from the spacecraft built and operated by a private company. its stock price fell more than 16% on wednesday after the disaster. chip reid is at the launch site on wallops island. that's along virginia's eastern shore. chip, good morning. >> reporter: well, good morning, and good morning to our seers in the west. viewers in the west. the top executive of orbital, the company that owns the rocket, told me they hope to determine the cause within the week. in the meantime it's reached the focus of attention on two controversial issues. first nasa's reliance on private companies and, second, the use of russia's old rocket. it looked like a perfect launch. then the unthinkable happened. it was suddenly engulfed in flames and exploded in a massive ball of fire, sending shock waves for miles.

the company's executive vice president is a former space shuttle commander and was this mission's director. when you saw that explosion, what went through your mind? >> well, my heart went in my throat. i mean, we all have a lot invested in this, both professionally and emotionally, and it's hard to watch a failure like that. >> reporter: tuesday's flight was $1.9 million. another company space x is preparing for its launch to the international space station in december. some critics question nasa's reliance on private companies to supply the international space station. he disagrees. >> nasa can continue to explore further and further into the solar system. >> reporter: executives said they don't know the cause of the explosion, but some outside experts speculate the rocket's engines, made in what was then the soviet union 40 years ago, could be to blame.

>> they've got a long flight record in russia and it was a good deal at the time. hindsight is a 20/20 sort of proposition there. with a failure, you could think twice about it. >> reporter: bill harwood, a longtime space consultant for cbs news, says reliance on russian-made engines is prevalent in the industry because it's more cost effective. just yesterday the atlas 5 which uses a russian engine, took off from cape canaveral in a flawless launch. >> given the heightened concern about the use of russian engines in u.s. rockets, there's clearly a move afoot to replace them with alternatives. however, it's not going to be fast. it's not going to be cheap. >> reporter: russian executives say they routinely test those engines and it's too early to tell if the engines caused this crash, but they don't rule it out. >> all right, chip. thank you. an investigation continues

after a military plane crashed off the southern coast. the pilot died on the scene. the jet slammed into a farm field while preparing to land. thick plumes poured into the air. the plane was on a training exercise. sharp differences between the leaders of israel and the united states are out in the open this morning. an unnamed obama administration official is quoted with insulting israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu. it's clear they're not getting along. major garrett at the white house. >> good morning. president obama's relationship with the israeli prime minister has been tense for years. the biggest flash point, netanyahu's appointment of jewish settlements and the pursuit of iran to end the nuclear weapons. well, those long-simmering disputes have turned profane. it's bad enough a senior administration official was quoted in the atlantic called israeli prime minister netanyahu

a coward. but this disparaging adjective drove u.s./israeli relations to a new low. the white house did not quarrel with the reporting of jeffrey goldberg and showed no interest in identifying or punishing its source. >> the fact is comments like that do not reflect the administration's view and we do believe they are counterproductive. >> goldberg, a veteran of middle east reporting, has collected other unflattering descriptions. of netanyahu. >> is netanyahu recalcitrant? >> why don't you do them all? >> myopic, reactionary, obtuse, blustering, pompous? >> i would say they all fall into the same category, not accurately reflecting this administration's view about our relationship with israel or the president's view of his personal relationship with prime minister netanyahu. >> the israeli prime minister addressing his parliament said if i didn't stand for our national and security interest they wouldn't be attacking me

and despite the attacks, i will continue to defend our country. israeli officials, it's worth noting, have attacked top americans too. defense minister alon accused secretary of state john kerry of pursuing middle east peace with misplaced obsession and messianic fervor. adding, kerry cannot teach me anything about the conflict with the palestinians. >> it certainly complicates it when you have this sort of personal invective on both sides. and that needs to be tamped down. there needs to be a cooling off. >> the house speaker said when the president discusses israel and iran, it is sometimes hard to tell who he thinks is america's friend and who he thinks is america's enemy. the white house says it has no intention of papering over deep disagreements with israel but says when it comes to the jewish state's security, the united states is there. president obama pushed for and delivered $225 million in aid this summer to resupply israel's anti-missile iron dome system. that system repelled most

rockets fired into israel from palestinian-controlled gaza. norah. >> all right, major, thank you. a sign of an improving economy this morning. the federal reserve ended its bond buying programs. pointing to gains in jobs and a lower unemployment rate as reasons to stop quantitative easing. that program saw three phases over the last six years. nearly $4.5 trillion on bonds. that new money helps stimulate the economy. the fed said there's been, quote, sufficient underlying strength in ongoing progress toward maximum employment. and this morning, the maker of the iphone and the ipad reportedly wants to do business in iran. "the wall street journal" reports apple has held preliminary talks with iranian distributors. economic sanctions isolate the country because of its nuclear program. apple would apparently use iranian dealers instead of opening its usual stores. it won't be easy. the western sanctions make it nearly impossible to transfer the money in or out.

can we go back to the game for a second? i stayed up late to watch. i felt so badly for the royals. i know somebody has to lose. they're at home. it's the bottom of the ninth. >> man on third. >> oh, gosh. >> tough rocks. >> congratulations to the giants. it was a great game. >> they've been a team of destiny almost. >> great game. it's 7:19. ahead on "cbs this morning," chris christie fires back. >> if you want to have a conversation later, i'm happy to have it, buddy, but until that time, sit down and shut up. >> why new jersey's big change in the weather coming our way. already seeing a lot of clouds moving across our skies. got a storm off the coastline unseasonably strong. going to bring some heavy rainfall into the bay area as early as tomorrow. for today, you will notice the changes couple of clouds in the skies and a mix of sun. temperatures will be slightly cooler with 70s inside and

americans support this quarantine as a precaution. why is it not a good idea? >> for one case, it's just simply unnecessary. if you're thinking about going to volunteer here, nobody has any idea what to expect when you get home, and that has a really chilling effect on volunteers. >> reporter: he says had the mandatory quarantine been in place before he took the trip, he would have never been able to take enough time off to go volunteer. as for his plans now, he and his girlfriend are going to spend a few days at the beach. norah? >> well deserved, don. thank you. and on the two-year anniversary of superstorm sandy, new jersey governor chris christie found himself in a familiar spot. he went to the jersey shore where he got into a shouting match with a protesters. jan crawford shows us how this went down. good morning. >> good morning. it's been an interesting week. he started on the ebola threat,

christie's critics say he's not moving fast enough but the governor blames federal red tape. >> only just shy of $300 million in the last two years has made its way to the families. if people are heck ling, you can understand why they might be. >> wonderful, absolutely. the heckler asked christie to dinner. >> i'll tell you. there's about a thousand things tonight. going to dinner with you is about 1,001. >> perhaps that's because christie's calendar has been full. he's had a dizzying stretch of travel leading up to next week's election. this week christie has been hit with questions over his response to a nurse quarantined after working with ebola patients in west africa. >> with access to her cell phone, access to her internet, and takeout food from some of the best restaurants in newark,

after hurricane sandy. he's an independent. someone asked if he'd vote for christie and he paused a minute and said no. >> really interesting. >> governor christie's got lots of clubs in that bag but it's never a good sign when somebody in the heat of a battle says buddy. >> or shut up. >> look at mrs. christie's face. it's like you should stop talking. don't poke the bear. >> in this case he used his driver. it was a high stakes bet, but did it pay off?

been legal. according to a motion fired in federal court tuesday, attorneys for the defendants say the fbi disconnected the internet in order to gain access. this is a former u.s. federal prosecutor. >> it would be the same thing as turning off the power or the water and you say, oh, you invited me in. >> reporter: the alleged el legal activity happened in three suites. the ring leader was recently thrown out of china's gambling mecca for a similar crime, raising suspicion in nevada. they warn fbi operations like this could be a slippery slope. >> the best defense is a good offense and the fbi tactics have given the defendants the opportunity to go on the offensive, and now you find that it's the fbi who's in the hot seat. >> reporter: a spokesperson for

the u.s. attorney's office in nevada was unable to comment because the case is still pending and the justice department has until next week to file its response. all defendants pleaded not guilt to both counts. >> coming up, it could have been a fight over necessities. the bears that battled in a suburb. big change in the weather coming our way. already seeing a lot of clouds moving across our skies. got a storm off the coastline unseasonably strong. going to bring some heavy rainfall into the bay area as early as tomorrow. for today, you will notice the changes couple of clouds in the skies and a mix of sun. temperatures will be slightly cooler with 70s inside the bay and 60s at the coast. isolated thunderstorms. showers into saturday. ♪

before dawn with their trophy in hand after flying back overnight from kansas city. they won that third tight until five years beating the royals last night, 3-2. >> the series mvp is madison bum gardner. he pitched the last five games. the final out touched off a noisy street party that turned violent. two people were shot. another was stabbed. riot police were hit with bottles thrown from the crowd outside the giants ballpark. could somebody explain to me, why do people have to tear up stuff after a great game? it seems to be a boy thing though, charlie. you don't see a girl out there doing that, norah. >> yeah. it's because they're having a good time and they're drinking too much. >> can you just say san francisco again the way you said it? >> san francisco. >> san francisco. all right if lava on hawaii's big island is moving slower this morning but still on the move. dozens of homes in the have it

lanlg of pahoa are in danger. they're starting to patrol roadblocks. the main road in and out could be cut off as soon as tomorrow. carter evans is in puna where he got to see the threat from overhead. carter, good morning. >> the lava is still flowing but the homes are still in danger. they're actually right behind this barricade. from the air you can see the path that this lava has cut as it's flowed down the volcano and actually went around a small graveyard just outside of town. the aerial view gives you an idea of just how close it's come to homes in this community. now, the lava is currently flowing through private property and the owner used some heavy equipment to build a channel and build a berm in an effort to direct the lava around buildings. so far, it appears to have worked. now, further up the volcano if you look at the flow from here this portion of the lava actually is a couple weeks old. it looks like it may have cooled off. when you look down you can see some of the red molten lava

oozing out from the rocks below. police have blocked off access to this part of the community and at this point the lava is still a couple hundred yards away from the road here. but it is expected to cross at some point soon as it continues cutting a path toward the ocean. a couple miles away from here. gayle? >> carter, we thank you. there is new light shining on the sistine chapel this morning. new technology will help preserve michael angelo's masterpiece that includes thousands of led lights surrounding the famous frescos. alan is in rome with a massive renovations and the price tag. >> what is widely held to be one of the most beautiful works of art in history just moved up another notch on the scale. michael angelo painted the ceiling of the sistine chapel by the light of the sun coming through small windows. 450 after his death his masterpieces are being seen in a whole new light provided by 7,000 light-emitting diodes, leds for short.

ultraviolet rays from sunlight were fading the colors. standard halogen bulbs do the same thing. leds do not but they do have a tendency to alter the way colors show up. 280 patches of paintings were spectrum analyzed so the leds could be color matched to the paint michael angelo used. not even he could have imagined the halo around jesus in the last judgment could look like this. the lights concealed along the emgs of the ledge which runs around the chapel can be adjusted to various levels. the one for tourists is wonderful enough, but for special occasions they can be turned up even more. at normal intense difficult the energy saving bulbs will cut the electricity bill by more than 60%. but there was another problem. some 6 million people a year visit the sistine chapel often waiting in line for hours, breath and body heat damaged the frescos and the air conditioning system installed 20 years ago could no longer cope. john's connecticut based company

got the job of fixing it. >> what was the biggest challenge? you faced a four-year project, what was the hardest part of it? >> to do the proper ventilation, make this an intelligent air conditioning system that actually counts through three security cameras shs counts the number of people in the cap chapel at any given point and adjust the ventilation and humidity to the exact parameters of the people in the space so we can properly manage the air and save the frescos and keep the chapel open. >> michael angelo was paid a pen tense for his work. the new lighting and ventilation systems to save it costs nearly $4 million. given the effects, the vatican got a bargain on both counts. for "cbs this morning," vatican city. >> great story. >> beautiful. >> you know, i remember the last time i was in the sistine chapel, they don't allow you to take pictures. but to see it, incredible. breathtaking chlktsz hu breathtaking. hundreds of people filmed,

ben bradley died last week. family and friends were joined yesterday. bradley was remembered for standing up to the government during watergate. mourners described him as tough and fearless with a sense of humor and a huge heart. >> he was a journalistic warrior, unequaled and probably never to be matched. >> we knew somebody much better than his very large reputation, even braver, even smarter, much more fun. >> he pulled off being bradlee because he wasn't afraid of presidents, of polio, of political correctness, of publishing the pentagon papers, of making mistakes. >> of course my father had the biggest, most welcoming heart of anyone i ever met. people talk a lot about his colorful language, but in my

opinion, he also had the most helpful heart. >> that was quinn bradlee, his son. and he wore one of his dad's trademark shirts for that. he said one of the most beautiful things i think he said is when he was child and would lay on his dad's chest his heard beat would beat so hard he had to turn his cheek. >> talk about a life well lived. >> it was bob and carl and so many others, don graham we saw, quinn, his son was the most powerful. the shirts were an inspiration from his long time wife and widow sally, son, mother of quinn. i haven't seen a funeral in a long time that was so full of so much. i mean, the speakers were so right on point. the two things that came out was ben's courage and his sense of being a truth seeker. that was what the marks that all converged into these two ideals. plus, he was the most

♪ in our morning rounds, cracking the code of autism. two large new studies identify more than 100 genes involved in autism spectrum disorders. scientists are calling these findings a major turning point in understanding how mutations disrupt nerve networks in the brain. dr. david agus is in ft. lauderdale, florida, this

morning. good to see you in florida this time. >> good morning, gayle. >> tell us why this is such a big deal to the researchers and certainly for the families living with autism. >> so there have been several studies done with small numbers of samples. in these, dozen of labs across the world got together and combined their samples. with newer genetic technologies they were able to identify dozen of genes that are associated with autism and then hundreds more that are probably associated. so we're now getting to learn the map. while that may sound very complicated they all converge on three functions within the brain. >> and, david agus, i thought it was interesting about this study is that through sequencing many of these mutations are not coming from the parents, they happen right before conception. right? >> yes. so there are two buckets, if you will. some come from the mother and father and a big fraction, they happen either in the sperm or the egg before they come together. and so they're new.

and as we get to understand what they do and how they work, the hope is we can then use them to identify early what's going on in autism in a child and lead to treatments. >> so to be clear, so there are some jennetgenetic causes of au and these other ones may be environmental? >> yes. so we know in autism there's genetic causes and environmental. remember, environment doesn't just mean theous side environment. it means anything nongenetic. they are two separate and come together and they're a perfect storm. happens a lot more in boys than girls. what we learn from this study, which is really interesting, is that the genetics of autism in boys and girls who are low functioning, low iq is different from boys, where predominantly is high functioning, high iq. >> is autism on the rise? >> clearly is when you look at the numbers, on the rise over the last couple of decades. this study doesn't really address that because we're looking one moment in time.

they didn't go back and look at the samples from decades ago to understand the reason for change but something is clearly happening. >> how will this help us find a new treatment or test for families? >> well, right now today this data can be used to diagnose children earlynd start behavioral treatments. by converging on the three mechanisms the hope is we can now develop drugs to target these mechanisms and if you are a child with autism, we can put you in a particular bucket with that mechanism and hopefully give you the right drug to change the course of the disease and make a major impact in your life and your family's life. >> these are some big studies. thank you so much. we'll post more of it online for people who want more information. ahead, fireball whiskey is a huge success in this country so why are other nations pulling the spirit from store shelves? you're watching "cbs this morning." his morning." >> announcer: cbs "morning

accident southbound 101. jammed up the works across the bridge. sensors are at least now yellow. they were red a little while ago. coming on the skyway down to 280, still extra heavy all along that corridor through san francisco. san mateo bridge traffic is better out of hayward. that's "kcbs traffic." with the forecast, here's lawrence. we have clouds out there as well rolling on in now. but things going to stay dry but seeing a transition now as it looks like some much wetter weather is coming our way as early as tomorrow which happens to be halloween. so out the door right now, we have that strong system off the coastline. i think it's going to slow down a bit as that low will deepen the system off the coastline so we'll stay dry today. temperatures mild in the 60s and 70s. all that begins to change though as we look toward tomorrow. in fact, expecting some heavy rainfall as the system moves through maybe one maybe two inches of rain in the mountains. looks like showers continuing maybe thunderstorms into the afternoon. showers into saturday, as well. ,,,,,,

welcome back to "cbs this morning." coming up in this half hour, conversation about race in america. pollster frank luntz tells us about the focus group he calls the most heated and emotional in his career. a swan song tonight for "two and a half men" as they enter their 12th and final year. we go behind the scenes with co-star jon cryer. that's ahead. "people" magazine reports a new development in the story of brittney maynard. she has terminal brain cancer. in her first tv interview she told jan crawford why she plans to end her life. she released a video yesterday.

she confirmed what she told us this mornlt. if she's still alive on november 2nd. they'll move forward together and the decision on dying later. >> if she's feeling all right. >> yes. we return to another story of family and life. a couple looks to expect their 13th baby. this time they hope for a girl. they already have 12 months. the afrmgs range from 15 months to 22 years. they do not plan to look at the gender. >> that's a lot of boys. >> the genetics. explain that. >> the gender comes from the male. >> and the chances of vague girl? >> i have no idea. >> you know the -- >> i have no idea. >> you'they're hoping for a gir

>> i'm not the dr. o'donnell in my family. there are two others. victoria's secret is taking flack. the tag line is the perfect body. the controversy is lighting up twitter. someone tweeted stop this body shaming young women with t the #iamperfect. another tweeted i see nothing about the perfect body collection. if you feel that bad about yourself workout. as you know michael brown was shot and killed by a frank luntz brought together 17 people to talk about race relations in america. >> it's one of the most emotional issues and very difficult to have a conversation without that passion coming through, but we're fortunate to

have a diverse group of people here. i need to ask you, are race relations in america getting better or getting worse? >> worse. >> worse. >> way worse. >> and i blame obama for doing it. >> you go right to politics. >> right to politic. swre a president that's made everything political. >> it has to do with us and our separatism and our people and not working together to fill those gaps. >> media and politicians on purpose inflame the issue of racism. >> do you agree with that? >> yes. >> i agree. >> we live common decent lives and once in a while a ferguson accident happens and the media blows out of proportion, portrayed as a result of one race tore the ore and makes them angry orange tated. >> racism happens every day across the board, ballot, white, hispanic, whatever. >> i was in school in ferguson

at the time in the a'70s. guess what. there were no blacks there and at the time they were known for harassing and beating blacks. but now what happens, an unarmed person gets killed. i don't find that acceptable. >> can i ask you a question? you used black instead of african-american. aisle ask you. we're trying to be careful to use the right terminology but you said black. >> you guys make the comments. >> i like the term black. >> i say the powers that be. >> african-american people are people who come from africa. charlize theron, they're african america. i've never been to africa in my life. i'm from america. i'm a black american. why can't we be who we are?

>> by a show hands, is itz more integrated? who thinks it's more segregated. more think it's seg gri gate. what gives you that perception? >> i think it's discreet but still a huge problem. >> it's hard to have a race conversation where it's not peaceful like martin luther king standing up for rights and having a message. now we see looting and shooting and breaking stuff and acting poorly. >> what would you do if the man 24/7 is on your neck. >> he's not -- >> really? >> i've kicked down a lot of white people's doors too. i'm for law enforcement. the bottom line is you teach your children not to assault the police, number one. you have no business putting your hands on a cop and attacking them. if you do that, you're going get what you get.

>> he's not alive and we don't know all the facts. we don't know if that video was a video of him or not. >> wait, wait, stop. you really -- you really don't -- you think that was -- you think that was photoshopped? >> my point is we don't have the facts on the situation, so we're not going to put him on trial today. >> all the facts -- >> you're abusing authority. >> why is it we have had a conversation here that has been brilliant up until this moment? >> because it stirred up anger. >> i could walk down this street and the police would see me and kill me. >> it's not even true. i work with the police every day and the mandate is to deter crime. >> but we're talking about race. with all this talk about race, i would say a minimum of 95% of the people could care less about

race, whether you're black, hispanic, chinese, whatever. it's a tiny percentage over all in america and we're making a big issue out of it. the majority of people could care less. >> so if it keeps happening -- >> it's true the percentage of people who get shot it's a small percentage. >> if it happens one time, it's too many times. >> what needs to be taught so america is a stronger country? >> we need to teach how to be toll rant of one another and celebrate our differences and understand each other's differences. >> frank luntz joins us from kansas city. >> i wish i was in the group. >> why is that? >> i agree with so many of the comments. the african-american comment, i

agree. i was born black. i was born in chattanooga, tennessee. i relate to that girl. >> gayle and i were readling and she said what's aa community. i said african-american community. >> here's white norah o'donnell saying african-american community. why was this the most honest group? it was very interesting. >> they were calm until we got into this issue. you saw several times they truly got out of control. what viewers would be interested in knowing is there would be several minutes where i talked to the cbs producer and the conversation continue and it continued just as he did. viewers just saw the truth and that's what make this job so fascinating to me. >> are you saying race generally or ferguson. >> i'm saying race generally. when they went to politic, they

didn't go to elections. they went to the people in charge and the feels is instead of strieing to solve the problem, charlie, tla're making it worse. the penalty up frustration came flowinging out. >> what did you learn about trayvon martin and the ferguson case? >> i'm very concerned about what will happen when they make the announcement of what they're going to do. the pent-up is just a flow. it may be a precursor to what happens. kit can be led by people in washington if they decide they don't want to score political points and they actually want to listen. i was within of those people who thad f thought race was important to 25% of the population. the way the conversation is happening is not productive and it's destructive for people understanding, respecting, and

appreciating each other. >> people are afraid to discuss it. the group was in l.a. you're in kansas city. what were you doing? >> i was in iowa yesterday morn, kansas afternoon. but yid evening i was at game seven. it was my eighth world series game i've seen and it was a good one. >> lucky you, frank. lung yo you. >>,,

the 12th and final season of two and a half man premieres tonight. only after sparring with the star of the show. >> is it going to be weird not to keep coming to the lot? >> i'm going to keep coming to the lot. >> you're going to be that guy. >> i am going to be that guy. >> jon cryer has been coming to stage 26 in burbank, california, for more than a decade.

cryer is one-third of the original "two and a half men." >> i am the one constant. i'm always here. >> the show debuted in 2003 and has earned cryer two emmys. it's also turned low brow humor into one of the highest ratist sitcoms. >> check out my sweet onion. my bodacious bedale lay. >> how would you scribe it? >> it's a classy comedy, "two and a half men." if there was any warmth, any bit of warmth injected we interject wit a barf, joke, or boobss. >> he's getting married to ashton. two straight guys to up their

odds of adopting a child. >> bottom line i just want you to be happy, baby. >> okay. what is the matter with you? why are you massaging me and calling me baby and dressed like guy cheetah. >> i love the cheetah. >> all right. when they said you guys are going to get married. what did you think? >> alan, he's fine. ashton, i'm not sure. >> he played the iconic role of request ducky in the hit film "pretty in pink." in the season 12 premiere he revisits the role for halloween. >> who the hell are you supposed to be? >> you never saw "pretty in pink?" >> oh, right, molly wingwald.

>> the scene stealer, star of the show. >> what he affectionately called a slightly feminine heterosexual door. >> i've been there all my life. we're not out there. we're not actually gay. to this day the writers said so you weren't playing ducky gay? >> i was like, no, i i wasn't. >> now with the sitcom coming to an end. he's trying to saver every moment. >> i remember right after we shot with highlights they wheeled out a cake for me because it happened to be on my birthday that they were shooting the pilot for two and half men. i blew out the candles and they said what do you wish for? >> i said i wish in ten years all of us are here. they laugh like ha, ha, he's dreaming. it turned out that most of us were here. most of us with one notable exception. >> that notable and now infamous exception is charlie sheen who

had a very public meltdown and was fired from the show. >> when all that was going on, did you worry that this show that you put so much time into might sink under all this pressure? >> oh, of course. mine all during the craziness that was going on, the big thing in my mind is my friend going to die tomorrow. you love him so much and he's capable of being this wonderful guy, but you know he's on that edge. >> reporter: cryer is in a new dark comedy called "hit by lightning." he's less worried about stardom and how his wife lisa will adjust. >> the strangest thing is going to be for my wife who's never been with me. i could be that guy walking around the house in a threadbare bathrobe and bradley alexander and wear sunglasses and watch reruns of the show. that could be me. >> reporter: well, if it comes to that, at least he'll still be laughing. for "cbs this morning," ben tracy, los angeles. >> what great show.

>> he is the last man standing. i thought, how are they going to pull it off after charlie sheen left and they did. bravo, chuck lorre. >> you can watch the final season premiere of "two and a half men" at 9:00 p.m. 8:00 p.m. central on cbs. you're watching "cbs this morning."
