good morning to our viewers in the west. it's friday, september 4, 2015. welcome back to "cbs this morning." there's more real news ahead including did donald trump fail a foreign affairs pop quiz? the renegade republican tangless with another questioner. first here is a look at today's "eye opener at 8." >> the whole process took about ten minutes, and both sides in this issue believe it was a significant moment. >> these weren't his first public comments. he said he's trying to figure out if he has the emotional energy to run. hungarian police would like to send these migrants off to refugee camps, several hundred migrants have escaped. the nfl says it will appeal but will not ask for a stay, meaning tom brady will take the
8:01 am
field here next thursday. >> feels like the plane is getting more crowded, you're not wrong unless, of course, you're flying up front with the high spenders. then you're still flying the high life. u.s. open officials didn't respond when we asked why the men don't get heat breaks like the women. i hear people walk around naked and do fun stuff. >> is that what you did? >> have you been? >> you didn't answer my question. he still had time to poke at his rivals with his colorful trademark style. >> he also supported a kanye run for president. >> he says trump is my all-time hero. kanye west, i love him. maybe in a few years i'll have to run against him. so i'll take that back. >> i'm norah o'donnell with gayle king and anthony mason. charlie is off. the kentucky courthouse is
8:02 am
issuing marriage licenses. william smith, junior and james yates were the first couple to receive them. the deputy clerk shook their hands and handed over the paperwork. several deputies at the courthouse in moorehead agreed to them. >> the judge sent her to jail for defying the supreme court by not issuing the documents to same-sex couples. donald trump is giving new fuel this morning to critics who say he's not a serious candidate. hours after signing the republican loyalty pledge, he faced questions about international affairs from an influential conservative radio host. trump admitted to hugh hewitt he was not prepared. >> so the difference between hezbollah and hamas doesn't matter to you but it will. >> it is when it's appropriate. i will know more about it than you know. and believe me, it won't take me long.
8:03 am
it's just something -- if you ask these candidates, nobody is going to give you answer. maybe one studied it because they're expecting a fresh question from you. but believe me, it won't matter. i will know far more than you know within 24 hours after i get the job. >> trump then accused hewitt of asking gotcha questions and called him a third rate radio announcer. trump's favorable rating is up among republicans in the past two weeks. the poll was conducted before the radio interview. this morning the new england patriots are celebrating a win in the courtroom. quarterback tom brady is celebrating a victory after a federal judge tossed out the four-game suspension. the nfl is appealing. patriots chairman robert kraft said in a statement, tom brady is a classy person of the highest integrity. we are greatly appreciative of the thoughtful decision that was delivered today. now we can return our focus to the game on the field.
8:04 am
cbs news special correspondent james brown, host of the nfl today is in washington. j.b., good to see you. >> norah, good morning, and it will be so nice to talk football again. go ahead, norah. >> i know. we're excited, too, about football. is this over? he's on the field, all done? >> it's not over. as a matter of fact scott pelle said it nicely on the evening news, if you want to distill a complicated situation down to something simple, tom brady won the league 1-0 at half-time. more appropriately it's probably late in the fourth quarter but not over yet. >> how much do you think commissioner goodell has been deflated by this? >> certainly from the player perspective, it's not been a good stretch for roger goodell at all. keep in mind judge richard berman was only focused on the process, that it was unfair. he did not render a judgment as to his guilt or innocence relative to deflate-gate, but it's not been good.
8:05 am
>> he said he's not going to the opening game because he wants to keep the focus on the game. good decision, do you think? what are you hearing from the patriots officially, tom brady and his teammates? >> absolutely the right decision by the commissioner not to go. the focus does return to the game which is what all i have saying. in terms of the players, bill belichick, the coach of the patriots runs a very tight organization. i wouldn't expect to hear anything other than on social media. and rob gronkowski, who you and norah welcomed into the studio. >> i love him. >> i know you do. he loves you guys as well, he's excited about the season because they've got tom brady back in the fold. >> j.b., what does this mean? you've seen the commissioner try and put down a number of penalties, suspensions, punishment for players for different things. it's kind of gotten him in hot water. do they need to reform the system? >> this is about the fifth
8:06 am
consecutive decision that's been lessened or overturned. good question. one would think the league itself would conduct an internal review to try to revamp that. the big question is not so much that he's got the power, but the nflpa, the players association, thought they would defer to him and there would be reasonable judgment and latitude dispensed in this. it's the process that's unfair. mr. goodell as an arbitrator should be viewed as neutral. when he's got his hand in so many different pots, there's anything but neutral when you think about the role that he serves. >> do you think the appeal will likely reverse his decision? >> very unlikely. from legal experts, very unlikely. the league will probably have to review, coming up with a fairer process for sure. gayle, i know norah is trying to get you in better shape. i'll join with you. anthony, by the way, anthony seems to have your number, gayle. i'm loving this, by the way. >> norah is trying to get me in better shape? i do have a call to weight watchers.

thank you very much, james brown. we've got to go. >> i'm glad i got gayle. >> i'm calling weight watchers today. how did la-la palooza become a client among music festivals.,,

8:33 am
genies, flying carpets, and what would happen if i took these stories and throw them at manhattan. >> what do you want readers to experience with this novel? >> first and foremost, i want them to experience pleasure. i think it's really -- these are very enjoyable kinds of stories. so i just want people to have a great time. it's funny. i think even my agent andrew riley said it made him laugh at loud. i thought, if you can do that, then not so bad. but of course, underneath it i'm trying to say something about this very world we live in which is a -- for a lot of people is a very strange place suddenly and bewildering. >> and getting more so all the time. you a lot of experience in dealing with this after what you went through in the '80s and
8:34 am
'90s when there was a fatwa. you were basically in hiding for ten years. you told the french press after what happened in paris with charlie hebdo, you said the world has learned the wrong lessons about freedom of speech. what did you mean? >> i mean there's a spirit of appeasement around, this idea that, if somebody says they're upset about something, that's a good reason for them not saying that thing. actually, if that was a rule, then nobody could say anything. i'm upset about plenty of things that people say every day. >> you say fear is being disguised as respect. >> yes. if people won't say they were upset while they were pointing ak-47s at you, it would be a different conversation. but because it's this so-called offendedness is backed up by real threats of violence, people pretend that they have to be polite when actually they're being afraid. >> what do you think about what's going on in kentucky with kim davis, standing up for
8:35 am
religious believes. >> really, enough with kim davis. if she wants to stay in jail, fine. i'm happy to see the other clerks have said they will issue the licenses from today. that makes her irrelevant and that's the way she should be. i remember, you were mentioning back in the '90s when there were a few people in britain saying they felt the law of god was superior to the law of the land, so they would follow the religious principles, and they were very heavily criticized. they were muslims. >> there was a bounty to kill you, do you still live in fear? >> no, no. i'm okay. you don't look scary to me. >> i want to ask you about what's happening in europe. you're effectively a migrant. you lived in london. you live in new york now. when you see what's happening in
