welcome welcome to cbs "this morning." hillary clinton is on a road trip after launching her second presidential campaign. she is trying to reach out to what she calls everyday americans. some of these voters were featured in sunday's online announcement. >> the former secretary of state, senator, and first lady began her trip in her hometown of chappaqua, new york and is riding to iowa in a van nicknamed "scooby." she tweeted a picture of voters she met. nancy cordes is waiting for her in des moines. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it's more than a thousand miles between new york and iowa so i suspect we'll see several more pictures of clinton with average americans she meets on the road before she makes it here to iowa. like her announcement video, this trip is designed to show that she can connect with voters and that she doesn't expect a coronation. >> i'm getting ready for a lot

of things. >> reporter: clinton doesn't appear in her own announcement video until it's almost over. >> my daughter is starting kindergarten. >> getting married this summer to someone i care about. >> reporter: she's preceded by a diverse group of americans sharing big and small plans for the future.

"we are humble" it reads. "we take nothing for granted." in fact, advisors say this campaign is likely to lookless like her first white house bid and more like her run for new york senate in 2,000 when she
7:05 am
went on a listening tour of the state and even sometimes spent the night in supporters' homes. >> i'm hitting the road to earn your vote because it's your time and i hope you'll join me on this journey. >> reporter: republicans shot back with videos of their own. >> hillary clinton represents the failed policies of the past. >> she doesn't have a track record of leadership or trustworthiness. >> i have a message. >> reporter: this ad from kentucky senator rand paul will start airing today in four early voting state including iowa. >> hillary clinton represents the worst of the washington machine. >> reporter: clinton's decision attracted the attention of "saturday night live," too. >> my gosh i don't know if i have it in me. i'm scared. i'm kidding let's do this.

7:06 am
community college students she'll be visiting a local small business, her campaign says she's going to be doing these small events for a while before she holds her first real rally some time in may. >> all right. it's just beginning. thank you, nancy. a potential republican rival is expected to join the presidential race later today. florida senator marco rubio makes his announcement in his hometown of miami. the 43-year-old senator is risking his job here. his seat is up for reelection in 2016 and under florida law he can not run for senate and president at the same time. rubio would join fellow senators ted cruz of texas and rand paul of kentucky as a official candidates. john dickerson is here. he was just named the new anchor of "face the nation." he takes over as bob retires. good morning and congratulations. >> thank you. >> let me begin with hillary clinton. tell me what she has to do and how is this different?
7:07 am
>> well, what she has to do in this announcement is change the perceptions but people already have of her. she's got a lot built up over the years, perceptions buts people filling in the blank of why she's running. it's the third term of obama, she thinks it should be given to her. so she's trying to so something different. how elastic are the views about hillary clinton? everybody knows who she is. if she can change that conversation, make it about what she's running about, how to sustain that over 16 months when the entire republican party is going to be going after you. >> does she, will she have to distance herself from president obama, do you think? >> she will. the question is how far can she get? she was in the administration and the president has some important constituencies in the democratic party that she needs him to help her with. so that will be a constant delicate balance because every time she tries to distance herself people say wait you're just being political. that's a challenge that as a problem for her. >> there was a lot of ink spilled over the rebranding of hillary clinton. we see the van named "scooby" at
7:08 am
the rallies. what is this about. >> not the mystery machine which was the name of the the van they had in scooby do for those of you who are aficionados. >> believe me i watch it just about everyday with my kids. >> you're living the scooby. well, this is about looking different. this is about looking regular. people know what it's like to drive across the country and decide to stop at the sheets or the pilot. now, if she starts hanging the pine tree air freshener in her car and the fuzzy dice she will have gone too far. >> but this idea about being humble. >> that's right. and that was in the campaign manager's memo to his own staff which they leaked. so when you're humble people say "boy, he's humble." you don't say it about yourself. why humble? because we've seen so much drama in previous clinton campaigns. they want to say this is new. this is -- she is not taking anything for granted. she's going to be out there working hard like a regular person because, as she calls
7:09 am
herself or as she'd like topor portray herself, she is the people's champion. so do stuff regular people do so she can be their champion. >> we'll hear from marco rubio this week. >> yes. now it's interesting, on the one hand you could say the hillary clinton-palooza will step on the message but a lot of candidates are trying to get in the same conversation with hillary clinton, be seen as the republican alternative to her. so in a sense his announcement tonight is something that he wants and also they think the generational contrast is something they want to play up. hillary clinton is from the past, they would say, marco rubio of the future. >> john thank you. we're tracking an unfolding story in north carolina. a college campus is under lockdown at this hour. police are at wayne community college in goldsboro 50 miles southeast of mall reeg. the goldsboro city manager tells cbs news one person was shot and killed and the suspect is still missing. the deadly shooting of an unarmed black man in oklahoma

7:11 am
>> he shot me! >> reporter: tulsa police say bates intended to tase harris but grabbed his gun instead of his taser because of a stress-related policing phenomenon when the brain tells the body to do one thing but does something else. >> reserve deputy bates did not commit a crime. reserve deputy bates was a true victim of slips and capture. >> reporter: the arrest was reported on multiple cameras, a sting operation targeting illegal guns. >> that's a lugar. a german lugar. >> reporter: tulsa police say harris attempted to sell a gun to an undercover officer but when police vehicles pulled up harris run. >> stop right there! >> an officer wearing a body camera chased down and tackled harris and other officers joined the struggle. harris was handcuffed after he had been shot. he complained he couldn't breathe. >> i'm losing my breath. >> [ bleep ] your breath. >> reporter: harris was treated at the scene by firefighters but died at the hospital.
7:12 am
in a statement provided by to cbs news, an attorney for the harris family said "perhaps the most disturbing aspect of all of this is the inhumane and malicious treatment of eric after he was shot." tulsa police placed bates on administrative leave and have filed no charges against him. an investigation of the incident will be submitted to the tulsa county district attorney's office for a full review. the tulsa county sheriff's office has also asked the fbi to conduct an independent assessment which could look into potential civil rights violations. gail? >> thank you elaine. critics are questioning whether more charges should be brought against officers after the deadly south carolina police shooting. disturbing video captured the moment walter scott was gunned down after a routine traffic stop. vicente arenas is outside the detention center where he is being held. >> reporter: slager was charged quickly but there's still questions as to whether other
7:13 am
officers did enough to save scott's life. those questions come along with newly discovered audio from slager's dash cam. following the deadly shooting michael slager's dash camera continued to roll and appeared to capture another officer talking to him off screen. >> by the time you get home it would be a good idea to jot down your thoughts of what happened. once the adrenaline quits pumping and stuff? it's pumping. [ laughter ] >> reporter: more than a week later, questions continue to mount over whether other officers at the scene gave full accounts of what happened to 50-year-old walter scott. >> this is not about black and white it's about right and wrong. >> reporter: some of the attention is focused on a black officer who arrived shortly after the shooting. in a police report haversham reported that he rendered aid to the victims but applying
7:14 am
pressure to the gunshot wound but nearly four minutes of video say he did little to help scott and left out critical information. at a video sunday north charleston mayor keith summey said the tape seemed to back up the account. >> i saw him stand up in ex-to his body pull up the shirt, put pressure on the wounds. >> reporter: saturday, hundreds attended scott's funeral, family and friends surrounding his flag-draped casket. the scene where the father of four was gunned down is the site of a growing memorial in his honor. when you walked up here today, what was going through your mind? >> i'm -- i need so space. thank you. >> reporter: is it emotional for you, this situation? >> i think it's emotional for everybody. >> reporter: a preliminary hearing for slager could come within the next two to three weeks. an indictment is expected next month. >> vicente, thanks. authorities in florida are

8:01 am
questions as to whether other officers did enough to save scott's life. >> what they are doing illegal? >> no. maryland law is really specific as opposed to a lot of other states. >> scotland yard is under fire this morning, and they're calling a highly audacious robbery. >> you just smile when you read the story. great to see people's dreams come true, at 14 he said this is what i'd like to do and he's done it. >> there it is. >> we thought it would be fun if you filmed the video yourself. now hold up your phone. look natural. okay. >> i am running because i want to be a voice for women everywhere. >> did someone say women everywhere? >> i'm chary rose with gail kij and nora o'donnell. hillary clinton is traveling to ireland. her announcement on sunday was
8:02 am
no surprise, but the many did not expect to find her traveling by van. she's tweeting from the road. >> clinton launched her second campaign with video highlighting everyday americans. today, senator marco rubio expected to enter the republican presidential race. john heilemann is with us co-author of a pair of books of the last two presidential campaigns, game change double down. good morning. >> hello. so far, is it a humble rollout? >> you know it's -- there's no -- there's possible further humble rollout -- >> the van's called scooby. >> there's a little humility to that, road tripping. but it's other focus, a we focus rollout and that's the thing they've been trying to do in the video. she's trying to say this is about voters and not about me. and that video expresses that. this low key, i'm going to iowa talk to the folks not be on the big stage, not be over the top, is conveyed pretty well.
8:03 am
>> everybody's fighting for the middle class. >> everybody's fighting for the middle collapselass. everybody thinks they're middle class, even the super rich and the poorp everyday americans is the term. people think the term middle class is freighted with insecurity rather than solidity. they're trying to take the discussion away from that. >> there are many people voting today that have never voted for clinton before so she can certainly attract those voters. i was -- were you surprised yesterday about bill de blasio? a lot of people were surprised when asked, would you support her? he said not so fast. >> surprised. they have been -- they have been very close for a long time. >> he ran her campaign. >> he ran her campaign at one point. a lot of the democrats immediately endorsing her. for him to take that posture, i think, not only i was surprised but abarndtpparently the clinton people furious. people on the progressive side

minutes." the devastating attack on sony pictures. croft asked cybersecurity expert kevin media about future threats. this is an exchange you did not see last night on "60 minutes." we had a nation state, for ideological differences or whatever reason attack the private sector. this is a demarcation and it's clear to me we'll have rogue nation stated that have embraced the asymmetry of cyberspace. the united states is in a glass house in cyber. they've got great ships, powerful planes and missiles and they've got great troops but in cyber, they're a glass house. there are nation states that have recognized that asymmetry, we can do harm in cyberspace we've seen that in 2014. >> you expected something like this to happen? >> if i had been asked last october, you said what's the worst thing that can happen in
8:06 am
cyberspace coned, utility going down we knew sooner or later a nation state would delete something. i didn't see the release of private documents, i wouldn't have guessed that at all. >> what is the next battle? what is the next demarcation? >> so great question because this last was so shocking and predictable, it makes the next one potentially harder to predict. the capabilities on the offense, i think, are going to continue to keep getting better because they're getting lots of operational experience. when we have ideological conflict cybercomponent is coming. what i couldn't predict is the trigger. potentially a move unpredictable. >> steve kroft weighs in on the hacking threat online. logon to 60minutesovertime.com. the new masters champion

resume they say after you are dead were you honest courageous. our society and a lot of the way we raise our kids put more emphasis on the resume virtues and that leaves us inarticulate. >> and are we teaching that in schools? >> i teach. i'm a professor. and my students know how to get jobs and internships but they're so hungry for the inner life. they don't have a vocabulary so the book is an attempt. i can show you people who've done it and i can give you a forum for your own life. >> heard people say think about the end of your life and what you would like for people to say about you at that time and dedicate yourself to reaching those virtues. >> you can write, the eulogy you

groups practice in the parking lot. and memorize in front of the mirror. then they kill it on stage. that i would call the singers here tonight like equivalent to acapella olympians. there's really a deep emotional connection, too, that's happening as opposed to feel-good oldies. you don't see much of that snapping and clapping kind of song anymore. >> reporter: and this is much more than simply singing. the groups also arrange their music music, choreograph their performance s performances, and even provide the beats.
8:48 am
♪ you make it look easy on stage but how much work goes into this? >> we've calculated i it. it's been over 275 hours we've put in this semester. ♪ does that make me crazy? possibly ♪ >> reporter: all that practice paid off at the semifinals where the socal vocals riffed rapped, and rocked their way to the championship. >> and our semifinal champions the usc's socal vocal. >> reporter: now they head to the championship. but no matter the outcome, acapella is the winner because organized nerd singling has definitely changed its tune.
