7:11 am
>> one of the things that happened over the last six months as we conducted air strikes in iraq and syria is their brand is spreading. so there are extremist groups in egypt and algeria and tripoli and now in afghanistan who now are calling themselves isis. so this is happening at a speed much greater than al qaeda's brand ever spread. >> what does it mean for the united states? >> i think these groups which largely attacked local targets, local grievances are now going go after more western targets. a great example happened two weeks ago in tripoli where a group aligned itself with isis attacked a hotel frequented by international businessmen and diplomats, killed nine people including an american. >> what can we do mike? >> the only thing we can do is take the fight to the guys in
7:12 am
iraq and syria. as long as there's a perception that they are winning and doing well there, their brand will continue to spread. success breeds followers in this business. >> michael, how quickly could troops on the ground happen and if needed how long do you think they would be needed for? >> so they are needed. the idea of course is to train iraqi troops to be able to conduct this fight. you need a large number. that training is going fairly slowly at the moment. you need probably 50 to 75 or 100,000 troops to deal with issues in iraq and syria. >> mike what is the situation today with air strikes and on the ground? >> so it seems to me, charlie, that isis great victory over the last six months is the spread of their message like we just talked about and see in
7:13 am
afghanistan. our great victory in the last six months we have stopped their blitzkrieg across iraq. >> thank you. >> michael morell thank you. a wounded man in custody after a wild pursued in los angeles. a car chase turned last night's rush hour into a mad hous. ben tracy has more. >> right there. >> reporter: that was only the first crash in a chaotic chase through los angeles on monday night. l.a. police said the car was stolen. >> on the wrong side of the road. there we go. >> reporter: the man behind the wheel was more than reckless and the car he was driving paid the price. >> look at this. there we go. there we go. he's trying to continue.

7:16 am
unfortunately unfortunately, we are all forced to put information on the network. what we can do is ask these organizations to make sure they are protecting that data. people can change their username and password regularly. they can also often times store data on a hard drive separate from your standard computer and disconnect it from your computer when you are not using it. tax and sensitive information. we will need the government to step up as they have been and try to catch some of the criminals that are operating off our shores. >> what is the earliest sign someone is tampering? >> unfortunately it is when the irs says your return has been filed. once it is filed, it is too late. people need to check their credit reports. you have to be aware and alert to unusual activity on their computer. unfortunately, when consumers find out, it is often too late.

7:33 am
that it's ten women on the jury. what do you make of that? >> well i think it's a bit startling. but we can only deal in stereotypes here. and we understand that we don't know enough about these ten women. however, you have to believe that in a quick jury selection like this that there is a thought on the part of the defense that women would be more sympathetic, more empathetic toward an insanity defense that is being put forth here. so i guess a defense. now, if you look at that why did the prosecution take these ten women? well it's very possible that the prosecution said maybe women are more empathetic and sympathetic, and they are going to feel for this great american hero chris kyle. while saying that i could not possibly be more stereotypical and more sexist by those comments. >> yes. or feel for the widow. >> well feel for the widow, feel for the tragedy of the loss of not only chris kyle but also the loss of chad littlefield's

life when there they are trying to help someone, a veteran in need. >> why do you think prosecutors are not seeking the death penalty? and let's talk about his appearance, it's changed so drastically. >> let's talk about his appearance first, because i am so amazed when you look at him. when you see what he looked like at the time he looks crazy. i mean, he looks like someone who has really had difficulties. >> it doesn't look like the same person. >> does not in any way look like the same person. what he looks like today is a reasonable person he looks like someone who has put on a fair amount of weight. he has the glasses. he is communicating with his lawyers. i say as a lawyer his appearance now, if you are representing him is not in his favor. appearance back then at the time of the crime was really of someone who had a problem. >> because they're pleading insanity. >> correct. and they are pleading insanity which brings me to gayle's first part of her question which is the death penalty. i think that this is a great
7:35 am
move strategically on the part of the prosecution. the prosecution, if it went to seek the death penalty in this case would have the problem that ultimately that the jury would know that he does suffer from post traumatic stress disorder. prosecution has taken that mitigating factor out. it's a smart, smart move. >> all right, law enforcement agencies are looking at ways to cut police shooting cases. mark strassmann shows how the device is meant to save lives on both sides of the gun. >> less lethal less lethal. >> reporter: stopping a deadly threat, but saving the lives of everyone involved. >> less lethal less lethal. >> reporter: that's the goal whenever cops draw their guns. christian ellis thinks his company has a solution, what he calls the alternative. >> if the officer's life or an innocent bystander's life is in

immediate danger they need to react with their weapon. that is their first lethal force option. we want to provide a second one. this goes on top of the weapon. >> reporter: the alternative is that orange plastic bracket that snaps on to the barrel of the gun. when a bullet is fired -- >> less lethal! >> reporter: it embeds in the round metal chamber at the end of the bracket, and propels it toward the target. >> and it hits someone or something at one fifth the speed of a bullet? >> roughly. >> reporter: and what does that difference mean? >> that means we slow the velocity down and make the projectile larger which means the likelihood of penetration and death is reduced greatly. it's going to be like a major league baseball player hitting you in the chest with a hammer. >> that thing is taking a beating. >> reporter: but the alternative did not puncture this strip of leather. the technology has intrigued dozens of police departments across the nation. >> no justice! >> no peace! >> reporter: one is in ferguson, missouri, where a police officer shot and killed 18-year-old

good morning to our viewers in the west it is tuesday, february 10th 2015. welcome back to "cbs this morning." more real news ahead including president obama's campaign strategist. we'll talk to david axelrod about the obama white house and the next presidential campaign. first, a look at today's "eye opener at 8." dumping nearly two feet of snow. this is the third snowiest february of all time here in boston. >> the family of an american woman held by isis confirmed she is dead. passengers are safe after the regional jet landed with its nose scraping the runway. described as judicial chaos, in montgomery they are issuing marriage licenses to same-sex

couples. but in other counties judges refusing to do so. their brand is spreading. there are extremist groups in egypt, in algeria and now in afghanistan who now are calling themselves -- a wounded man is in police custody after a wild and violent pursuit in los angeles. >> of course look at this! when neil armstrong was boarding this command modular on apollo 11 to come home from the moon, he basically grabbed moon swag. what would scare you more, finding out that isis is out to get you specifically or finding out that oprah has turned on you and she wants to destroy you? >> i am much more scared of oprah than i am isis. today's "eye opener at 8" is presented by nationwide insurance. ready seven. cue charlie. i'm charlie rose with gayle king and jeff. norah o'donnell is off.
8:02 am
kayla mueller's family says it has confirmed that she is dead. >> major garrett is at the white house where president obama also released a statement a short time ago. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. president obama released a lengthy statement of tribute, moments after kayla mueller's family in prescott, arizona, confirmed her death. that confirmation by the way came via a photo sent to the family by kayla mueller's isis captors. it confirmed her death but did not reveal a cause. the u.s. intelligence community working with the mueller family throughout this terrible ordeal verified that photograph's authenticity. president obama's statement praised kayla's volunteer efforts to bring aid and comfort to refugees of the syrian civil war, saying in part kayla's compassion and dedication to assisting those in need shows us that even amongst unconscionable evil, the essential decency of humanity can live on. the president vowed to bring
8:03 am
justice to kayla's killers, no marte, he said how long it takes. in summation, the president said isis is a hateful and abhorrent terrorist group whose actions stand in stark contrast to the spirit of people like kayla. on this day, we take comfort in the fact that the future belongs not to those who destroy but rather to irrepressible force of human goodness that kayla mueller shall forever represent. jeff? >> okay. major, thank you. there's confusion this morning about whether same-sex marriage is legal in alabama. a federal order allowing same-sex couples to marry took effect yesterday but the state's chief justice ordered lower courts not to enforce the law. he says the federal courts were intruding on alabama's constitution. with that direction, most license bureaus were empty. a number of couples in other areas of the state obtained documents from judges obeying the federal order. the u.s. supreme court is expected to decide same-sex marriage nationally in june. yes, yes can. it was one of the most iconic
8:04 am
campaign slogans in recent memory. david axelrod wrote the tag line for then illinois state senator barack obama and his run for state senate. he's known the president since 1 92. he was in charge of messaging and strategy for the senate and presidential campaign. axelrod spent two years as a senior adviser to the president in the white house. he then left to go to the work on the re-election. he is the author of a new book called out today. good morning. >> nice it see you. >> let's talk about the president today first. there is some sense that he felt tied down and he couldn't go out and talk to the country in the midterms but he has decided for the remaining two years he's going to be a bit unplugged. he's going to tell the country really what he believes and really where he stands regardless of the political consequences. >> yes i think that's true. it's so funny because you'll all remember the day of the midterm elections, the night of the midterm elections everybody was
8:05 am
reading last rites over the obama administration. he's probably had the best run he's had in years since that time. part of it is his attitude is i've got two years left to make the biggest difference i can. i'm going to go out and do everything i can. he has more of a bounce in his step than i've seen in a long time. >> what can we expect from the obama presidency for the next two years? >> i think you can see some of the things he'll push hard he'll see his immigration reform through, push on climate change. i think he's very charlie, interested in economic issues. this has been a main theme of his entire career not just in politics. that is how you build an economy in which people who work hard can get ahead, people can aspire, strive and get ahead. we're losing that. that's a fundamental challenge for this country. >> that's what everybody is in pursuit of including hillary clinton and others as they gear up for the campaign. >> that's true. he's been talking about this for years. now you hear republicans talking about it jeb bush talking about
8:06 am
income and equality marco rubio talking about the middle class. mitt romney talking about poverty. >> that said though david, you talk about michael bloomberg, barbra streisand nancy pelosi were always hammering you about you're not getting your message across. you guys are not getting it right. >> right. >> why does that keep happening time after time? >> people are generous with their advice when i was in the white house. >> yes. don't you like unsolicited advice. >> was it welcome? >> sometimes. sometimes yes, sometimes no. look, the reality is we were a triage unit when we arrived in the white i described this in the book. we were told there was a 1 in 3 chance of second recession. and that distracted from our ability to deliver the kind of
8:07 am
message we wanted. i regret we used him as an announcer for the government instead of the narrator of the larger theme. that was a mistake that i take some responsibility for. >> you say working in the white house was like working in a submarine, hard to get a read on the pulse of america when you're looking at the country through a periscope. >> yes. i spent my days reading focus group reports, polling data and so on. it is really hard i think it's washington's problem generally, gary hart former senator once told me that washington's all the last to get the news. i think that was right. because it's so insular. the white house is worse. >> one of the criticisms is that guys like you, the political team, had too much influence and a lot of the policy people complained about it all the time. >> well charlie, actually what i remember is telling him that health care was going to be a real political -- politically perilous thing to do telling
8:08 am
him that rescuing the auto industry was very unpopular. i had to give him that. i always joked i like him so much because he listened to me so little. >> david, how would you describe the relationship between hillary clinton and barack obama in the past? how do you think it's evolved and if and when she gets involved in the race when do you think she needs to declare? >> it's had peaks and valleys, jeff. they were friends before they ran against each other. we had probably the most vigorous contest in the history of presidential nominations, went through the entire calendar. and there were some raw feelings after that. the great story, one of the great stories of the administration is how close they grew, though during that time that she was secretary of state. i think the president has huge respect for her. i think she has huge respect for him. and i expect that -- those who say they think she's going to run away from him -- >> yes. >> we saw in the midterms that's not a good strategy.
8:09 am
secondly, i don't think that's her inclination. they have a good relationship. >> she needs to separate a little. >> she needs to define herself and where she wants to take the country in the future. that's the important thing. >> do you think where he's going will push her to the left. >> i don't think it's a matter of being pushed to the left. it is a matter of building an economy where we have a thriving middle class and people can get ahead. >> what will he do after the 2016 election? you're one of them who say you're one of them should put the library in chicago. other people say he wants to come with the family to live in new york city. >> the clinton library is in arkansas. those are two separate issues. the library should go in chicago. he's so much part of the fabric of that community. he had such an interest in reviving the south side of chicago, he can do so much with this one gesture. it's hard for me to believe he'll pass on that opportunity.
8:10 am
>> what was his biggest failure? >> everybody's biggest failure is their weakness. getting things done was the most important thing. his weakness 80% of people in washington, winning elections is the most important thing. he didn't always relate to politicians as well as he could. >> you write in the book you don't miss the action but you miss the main actor. you feel a little bit of pain about your relationship with barack obama today? you say i e-mail him and sometimes he e-mails, sometimes he doesn't. that there is a longing there. is there? >> well, you know, when you're close to someone as i was -- as close to him as i was for years, you see him several times a day and talk several times a day, not just as a boss to an adviser but as friends, there was a withdrawal when i left the white house. i was depressed about it. the truth is we've settled into a good rhythm. we talk from time to time. we e-mail frequently. and you know, i feel of him that
8:11 am
he's a friend not just someone i work for. i'm glad that relationship -- >> i'd love to know what these e-mails are about. >> me, too. >> very quickly, will we see you in another domestic campaign? >> no. what could i do to top this. >> but you're working in london. >> that's not a domestic campaign. ahead on "cbs this morning," more fathers are staying at home to look after the this morning's eye-opener at 8:00 is sponsored by nationwide.

recognition system not only records personal conversations, but may pass them along to third parties. dan ackerman is a senior editor. good morning. we got a new samsung tv a year-and-a-half ago and kept noticing occasionally it would try to pick up what we were saying. and then it would also visual cues as well with your hands. what is it doing? >> that's just your control right there. voice control, whether on your tv or another product, you give it a command you want to watch netflix or change the channel, it takes your voice and sends it to a cloud somewhere where it translates speech to test figures out what you're trying to do and sends back to your product and that's what happens. but for that to work your voice has to go somewhere, and it has to be stored somewhere. so somebody else does have access to it. >> who gets it? samsung says when they say third parties, that's kind of a scary term. what they really mean -- >> yeah. >> it's not an advertising agency, but they're contractors and the company i think is called nuance and does speech to
8:23 am
