alps. andreas lubitz is accused of rehearsing the maneuver on an earlier flight the same day. >> charlie d'agata is in london with details. charlie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, investigators say on the previous flight that morning on a trip to barcelona, andreas lubitz repeatedly set the aircraft into a descent and then brought it up again. this is on the same airbus a-320 jet that crashed into the mountainside on the way back to germany. reports said the main pilot appeared to have left the cabin during that flight as well. cockpit data shows he put the plane into a descent mode five times in a four and a half minute period. the data from this earlier flight was found in one of the two black boxes from the crashed aircraft. investigators said the plane was already on descent and didn't nose down sharply during that period suggesting that passengers and crew may not have noticed. the chief investigator said he
7:04 am
couldn't speculate what was happening inside lubitz's head only that he changed those controls for the minimum setting of 100 feet and he did it several times. >> charlie d'agata, very disturbing twist. charlie reporting from london this morning. new clues may explain why two men attacked a texas exhibit featuring cartoons of the pro prophet mohammed. a man who joined somali fighters is linked to one of them. he committed on twitter with elton simpson. watchdog groups that track online terror threats describe him as an important recruiter for isis. >> u.s. investigators are still checking out isis' claim of responsibility for sunday's attack in garland, texas. jeff pegues is in washington where officials confirm they were tracking simpson before the shooting. jeff, good morning. >> good morning. in the last month, something sparked law enforcement's interest in elton simpson. it's not clear exactly what that was, but the arizona man had multiple social media accounts and tweeted out hints of the attack before it was set in
7:05 am
motion. investigators are trying to determine if elton simpson and nadir soofi received specific directions from isis or whether they were simply inspired by the terrorist organization to carry out attacks in the u.s. one anti-terror watch group says the evidence is online in twitter exchanges between simpson and a man named mujaheed misky. david ibsen is the counterextremism's project executive director. >> he recruits via social media, particularly in his case twitter. >> just last month, he tweeted "the brothers from the "charlie hebdo" attack did their part. it's time for brothers in the u.s. to do their part." simpson tweeted back "when will they ever learn? they are planning on selecting the best picture drawn in texas. rasullallah is the prophet
7:06 am
mohammed. >> i characterize that as being evidence of incitement and propagandizing on behalf of extremist groups targeted to individuals located in the u.s. compelling them and encouraging them to commit acts of violence in the u.s. against americans. >> reporter: before the attack on sunday, simpson pledged allegiance to isis and wrote "may allah accept us as mujahadeen." simpson was the subject of a terrorism investigation in 2006 and was convicted in 2011 of lying to the fbi about wanting to join terrorists in somalia. he received three years probation. >> i wonder if he just snapped. >> reporter: christina sitton represented him in that case. >> it never occurred to me he would actually follow through on it. >> reporter: a law enforcement official says simpson and soofi were not considered high priority threats. they are like several thousand individuals u.s. law enforcement is following across all 50 states. charlie? >> thanks, jeff. also in washington, with cbs news senior security contributor michael morrell. he is a former cia deputy
7:07 am
director. michael, good morning. let me begin with your assessment of these twitter exchanges. >> so, charlie, no doubt in my mind that given these twitter exchanges, and there also appears to be some exchanges with an individual in syria as well, that these are what inspired these guys to attempt this attack. >> inspired not directed. >> inspired not directed. >> does it make a difference? >> sure i think it does. there's both a positive and negative, i think. the negative is that a directed a tack gives you the opportunity to do something bigger. because you can put more individuals around it folks in a mall for example. but the positive is that a directed attack there's communication between the leadership of the group and the terrorist so it gives you an opportunity to detect the attack in advance. >> now as you know mike isis has claimed credit for this attack. do you think that helps them recruit more members here and in
7:08 am
other places? >> well to recruit folks to raise money you have to conduct successful attacks, gayle, and this attack was not successful. and i think it's important to remember that. so i'm not sure they're going to get a lot of benefit out of taking credit for this. >> mike, the u.s. has just announced it'sbounties on the heads of four of those isis leaders. do those bounties help? >> norah, they sure do. they generate an awful lot of information. the vast majority of this information is not particularly useful but every once in a while occasionally you come across a piece of information that makes a big difference in finding these guys. and those people are compensated when that has. >> why is the trail so difficult? it's interesting this attack in garland, texas, because there's an electronic trail of tweeting back and forth. doesn't that make it easier to locate the source of where these leadership are and where they're conducting their operations
7:09 am
from? >> it's hard to identify the location of a tweeter if they don't want to be found. but there is an awful lot of information in these tweets the, and we have to start mining it. >> mike one last kwem. there was a piece in the "new york times" today that said that france is taking steps to vastly widen domestic spying. is that what we're going to have to end up doing? >> you know charlie, the way people think about whether we should do this or not almost always depends on what just happened, right? and these attacks in paris happened. people are willing to do more. >> thank you mike morrell. >> you're welcome. more severe weather threatens parts of the south and midwest today. the storms could produce strong winds, downpours, lightning and hail from oklahoma to kansas. some drivers in norman oklahoma, had to push their cars off flooded roads overnight. heavy rain around austin closed several roads and trapped car this is morning. some areas saw five inches of rain. >> mini tornados touched down in texas. this one sucked up debris from

7:12 am
with a rendition of u2's hit song "one." >> dave goldberg represents the heart and soul of who we are in the industry. >> reporter: sales force ceo mark benioff spoke about him. >> you have to look at him as an example of a loving father loyal husband and he was always there for everybody. >> reporter: goldberg died while on a family vacation in mexico. local investigators say it was the result of head trauma after he apparently fell off a treadmill. but cbs news has learned that autopsy results suggest goldberg had a heart arrhythmia that may have contributed to his death. >> this is a huge loss for silicon valley by far the biggest loss since steve jobs. >> reporter: at his memorial sandberg said "dave was my rock when i got upset he stayed calm when i was worried he said we'll be okay." i sure could use him right about now. sandberg also said that as
7:13 am
heartbroken as she is she's grateful for every minute they had. and if someone told her this day would come just 11 years after they married she still would have walked down that aisle. charlie? >> elaine thanks. presidential candidate hillary clinton is pitching immigration reform in the west. she told high school students in las vegas tuesday that millions of illegal residents should become american citizens. and clinton blasted her opponents who opposed that idea. >> make no mistake, today not a single republican candidate announced or potential is clearly and consistently supporting a path to citizenship. not one. when they talk about legal status that is code for "second-class status." >> a cbs news/"new york times" poll released last night shows clinton leads the democratic race by a landslide, 85% of democratic voters in the polls said they would consider supporting her but just 48% of all voters said she's honest and
7:14 am

7:18 am
doing. i didn't know if he was -- you know, went crazy and was going to crash into something. the way he took off, he was speeding. >> reporter: the school district is conducting an investigation, putting the driver on administrative leave. but some parents say it's not enough. >> they're responsible for their lives. all those children are on the bus to get home safely and he did the exact opposite of that. >> reporter: the superintendent of the schools says this was not the bus driver's scheduled route but that all drivers are responsible for children's safety. the driver has since resigned from his position. gayle? >> something tells me he wouldn't have had a job, no injuries, just traumatized kids. >> traumatizing the parents, too. minutes ago in florida, a big leap forward for private space travel. >> three, two, one. we have ignition. it's ignited and they're pushing the sea dragon off the pad. >> there it goes. a spacex dragon capsule survived a survival test.

8:12 am
off the gas and slowly putting your foot on the brake. there's a process that has to occur there and there's a couple different things we can do to help to move it along. >> we're talking about the 4, 7, 8 breathing technique. >> that's right. you breathe in for a count of four, you hold it for a count of seven and breathe out for a count of eight. twice as long breathing out as breathing in. >> and your mom told you about that? >> absolutely. >> explain how it works. >> first of all, breathing in holding it for a little while increases the overall level of oxygen in your system so that's good. more oxygen in your system, less work for the body to do. by breathing out and relaxing it's almost meditative like we were saying before. when you allow that meditation to occur, you start to calm down
8:13 am
and relax. when you breathe out very slowly, it's very similar to what your body is naturally going to do. >> how long does it take to work? >> maybe, five ten breaths maximum. >> tv on or tv off? >> i can sleep with the tv on or off. i'm like the only sleep doctor that says it's okay. >> you also talk about the power down period, which i have to work on because i have young kids and adults need to do that too. how do you do that? >> roughly the hour before you go to bed, take 20 minutes to do stuff you have to do with kids finding back packs, finding shoes and then 20 minutes for hygiene and 20 minutes for meditation. sometimes i have people count backwards from 300 by threes. something to allow the boud body to slowly coast into sleep. >> meditation relaxing.

8:19 am
kayvon beykpour is the ceo. we are pleased to have him here. tell us what exactly it is and how many of your viewers viewed the fight. >> periscope is a live video broadcasting app which means you can take your iphone app and start a live video from your phone and anyone can watch. >> they are at a movie theater watching the fight. >> you can take your phone out and use it anywhere. we don't think people are using periscope to do that. it is not a good experience to watch a movie shot on the iphone in a theater. >> i'm talking about a fight. >> what we saw on saturday some people were taking their phone and filming their television. the fight was on television and they wanted to share it. we don't think that's a very compelling way to engage in that conversation. >> did it happen? >> it did. >> how much? >> it is hard to quantify. the numbers we released. we got 66 requests to take down broadcasts of the fight. folks like cbs and showtime
8:20 am
saying, we found this stream it shouldn't be streaming, can you please take it down. we responded to 30 in a few minutes and took them down. >> kayvon they are using the word piracy along with your company and your name. do you feel you did anything wrong and that you should be in trouble today? >> no. i think we built a tool that allows people to share what they are seeing with the world. sometimes people would use that for things that we have no intention of supporting. piracy is not something that excites us. what excites us is building a tell pore tation machine. >> one of the people had 10,000 viewers looking at the fight. >> yes. we were reach out about that stream and we were able to take that down. again, i don't think it is something that we have inherently done wrong in any way. i think we have built a tool just like twitter is a tool and facebook is a tool. we have built a tool that people can use for a lot of things. the circumstances of saturday were very unusual. you had a very hyped-up event, very exclusive and very expensive. you had cable providers that went down so people couldn't access the content t was very
8:21 am
unusual. >> does periscope say to the pewe not use this for material that is copyrighted? >> absolutely. it is part of our content policy. >> if it happens do you take it down immediately when someone protests? >> absolutely. >> how long does it take to do that? >> it depends. in the case of saturday which was a high volume relative to any other moment it was within minutes. the fastest turn around time was less than a minute. the slowest wasn't that much longer. we're extremely responsible and take it really seriously. we have great relationships with partners like cbs and showtime. we have no intention for periscope to be a place where you stream a boxing match on tv. the exciting thing about periscope is watching hbo boxing's account, take you backstage into manny pacquiao's locker room. we are working with partners like hbo and showtime. that's the exciting content, content you can't see on tv. >> twitter owns periscope and dick costello tweeted after the
8:22 am
fight that the wenner is periscope. "the new york times" says, this sounds like a big corporate cheer for piracy that you celebrated the fact that you stole content? >> i have to make it unequivocally clear, there is nothing exciting about pie ras sichlt what that tweet was in troefrps was the amazing content that happened leading up to the fight. watching manny pacquiao in his locker room. that's not something you could see on television. we saw it through of all people hbo's eyes. that's the sort of thing that excites us as creators of it. >> companies like ustream that have technology that can immediately take down this copyrighted video. what is periscope building or doing to have similar type of control so that copyrighted material isn't streamed? >> we have nfl football and all kinds of sports franchises that are worried about it. >> we are excited to work with our partners to develop those tools. companies like youtube developed those things over the years.
8:23 am
we have been up for a month and are excited to figure out how to work those tools. >> where do you think periscope will be in three years? >> i truly believe that periscope can be a tell he pore tation device. it will allow you to explore the world in real time through other's eyes. you can be on a beach in thailand or in istanbul. >> what the three of us do. you can be somewhere and you see somebody really interesting and you can stream it right then. >> we were watching paul lewis on the ground in paulty more sharing the important things that were p haing around there in the most raw and unfettered way that i have experienced from a journalism standpoint. that's exciting. >> i was at oprah's house recently and somebody said we should periscope this. oprah said yeah let's not. where did this idea come from? i do think you can take us places where we could never get to go. where did it come from originally? >> my cofounder and i were taking some time off before starting periscope. i had a trip planned to
8:24 am
istanbul. right before my trip the protests were happening in turkey. i remember thinking to myself is it safe to go? i want to see what's happening on the ground. you watch the news and look the atwitter. i wanted to see a live feed of the street that my hotel was on. that would be the perfect articulation whether it was safe or not. there are thousands that walk around with smart phones. why can't i see it? >> it will be interesting to see how it changes journalism. >> i think there is a huge potential. >> what do we do about the boring videos of people going to the grocery store? >> don't watch them. >> it is the internet. that's going to exist. it is okay. it is one of the charming things about the internet. we have to sift through. some people like it which is great. >> i have been accused of some boring things too. >> i think charlie has probably seen some cat videos in his time. >> i would bet not. he prefers dogs. >> they are playing those too. >> good job. >> really great to meet you. >> likewise. thanks for having me. >> we like the future.

8:34 am
he's a dear friend. we've got a lot of friends who are running. >> you and walker are a lot a lock alike in that you fought for the unions. >> yes. >> i think he's going to continue to do that. >> reporter: haley is one of only three female republican governors nationwide land no doubt play a larger role in her party's efforts to attract new voters. 2012's presidential election was the largest gender gap ever. mitt romney lost female voters by 12%. >> does the republican party have a problem with women voters? >> no, i don't think so. you look at the republican women governors who are all faef snook but if the democratic party has a woman on her ticket like hillary clinton, is the republican party going to need a woman on her ticket? >> i don't think so.
8:35 am
it's fantastic we're goc to have a woman on the ticket. i don't have a single policy that i think i agree with hillary clinton on but i respect the fact that she's going to put herself on there. >> haley had to put herself out there too. herr parents were from india who moved from the tiny town in south carolina in search of the american dream at a time when she said people there only knew two new two new colors. >> what did you learn? >> black and white and lanls meant something. i didn't want to be a label. very quickly i learned about proving. it's not what you say, but what you do. >> it's that ability to work through differences that served haley well last month when a white police officer shot and killed an unarmed black man in north charleston. >> i want to ask you about the issue of race and police because you've seen what's happening in
8:36 am
baltimore and the issue of walter scott here in south carolina. what's going on? >>. >> the difference between south carolina and what's happening in baltimore is it was all hands on deck. it was transparency and communication. there's always going to be someone that disappoints us. what we can do is how we reresponsibility to it. rerespondenting to it is what's needed in every state. every person deserves to know the truth. >> reporter: now 43 years old and a two-term governor presiding over one of the fastest growing states haley is proud about defying expectations. >> you say being an underdog is the best thing that ever happened to you. >> that said i have never known what it's like to be an underdog. it gives you a passion to want to prove things and it gives people the element of surprise when you do so it makes it fun. >> i think she is sort of
8:37 am
underestimated. she's sort of been out of the national spotlight for a while and she's got an impressive record in south carolina in terms of when she took over the state was $1 billion in debt. now there's a surplus. that state is growing like crazy. i mean lots of new people going to the state. >> what's the downside for her? >> you know, i think the downside is whether she wants to put her family through if she were picked for a vice-presidential ticket and the inevitable criticism of her personal and private life. she's 43 years old, still very young. >> that's very young. i always say it's better to be ujds is underestimated and overdeliver. >> ronald reagan always said that. >> maya angelou has said that too. you know who underestimates

8:43 am
forcy for patsy klein. ♪ i knew some day ♪ >> reporter: but willie's unique rhythm singing slightly before or behind a beat didn't synch with nashville's slick mainstream sound. it was only when he returned to texas and let his hair down that he found his voice. in 1975 "blue eyes crying in the rain" earned willie his first number one sfot on the charts. the hits kept coming. ♪ on the road again ♪ >> reporter: "on the road again" won a grammy in 1980. ♪ but you were always on my mind ♪ >> reporter: and "always on my mind" spent 21 weeks on the boards. willie's free spirit was instrumental in shaping the country's outlaw genre. now 32 years after the poncho and lefty, he's teaming up again

8:45 am
now i don't. so i think substituting pot for cigarettes and alcohol is a smart choice. >> you say it bang a long-time marriage, by far the smoothest of all my marriages. >> it's worked out so far. why be so open about your private life and your failed marriages and everything? >> oh i don't know. i'm not ashamed of anything. i don't think my life has been that much better or worse than a lot of the other people that i know. >> you said even as a little kid, music was always in your blood. you started out writing powe etry and that sort of got you started but music, you said to this day you're on the road 150 night as year. you don't see that as a burden but a blessing. >> i get so much out of music, there's a huge reward just playing music. and to be able to play for a big crowd who enjoy as what you're doing, who would pay a lot of money to drive a lot of money to drive a lot of miles to see you.
8:46 am
there's a huge energy that takes place for any artist who's performing for the audience. >> you also talk about your dealings with the irs. what happened? >> i took a lot of bad advice and ended up owing the irs a lot of money. >> around $32 million. >> in round figures, believe you're right. >> did you have to pay it back or come to a deal? >> we had a big meeting in austin and a big table with 20 30 people there. >> how many people -- >> but it's a funny story. >> i bet you were the only guy without a suit. >> i was. >> willie it's fawny story because you said you decided to take on the irs and people said to you, that's crazy, you can't do that. >> everyone was advising me to go bankrupt you know. >> and avoid the debt. but also it meant avoiding all other debts you had and cheating
8:47 am
all those people out there you owed money to besides the irs and i didn't want do that. >> do you think the whole country will legalize marijuana? >> yeah. >> how long? >> five years maybe. i think the way it's going now. it may be quicker than that. once all the so-called smart people see the money, see the bottom line look at colorado washington, oregon, they'll say wait a minute. >> not everybody supports the legalization of marijuana. do you worry about the use of it because it's now become so widespread in states where it's legal for recreational use. do you worry about underaged children? >> well underaged children shouldn't be putting anything in their lungs. pot smoke or cigarette smoke or any other kind of smoke if they can help it. it's not good for their lungs and probably not good for their brains. you know, let their brains get a little smarter, you know before they start trying things.
8:48 am
