lives. our dr. john laput talked to an expert, dr. justin sinclair. >> one of the things i think is different about this, you know, this threat is that, again, it's ongoing. people sort of can't know when and where or how it's going to happen. it's this thing that never ends, and it's ubiquitous. it's everywhere. >> how does that affect their lives? >> they tend to avoid certain aspects of their lives, fly less, ride on public transportation less, go into public settings less. there's research that shows they

have a tendency to engage people from different cull toweral backgrounds less, they even consume media less, ironically. >> what have you learned over the last ten years of studying this that might surprise people? >> how potent fear can be in terms of altering people's lives and the impact it can have in different aspects of life. whether it's making decisions about a president, supporting different policies that are important socially or even town to sort of, you know, how people live their every day lives. >> is there a danger of society of people changing their behavior over time because of terrorism? >> yeah, i think it changes the structure of our country. changes the structure of our government. i think fear can maybe even change things in ways that weren't consistent with how the country was founded originally. >> as a psychologist, is there some insight into that? >> i think fear moves people to become much more polarized in their viewpoints. and i think that fear motivates people to, you know, go to

further lengths to feel safe. >> in small doses, fear can be a lifesaver, prompting us to react to danger. but it can cause stroke and heart attack. the doctor says it's important to continue normal routine if possible. but if you find yourself anxious and avoiding things, it may be time to get help. >>e. well, a plumber in texas has been anxious to tell anyone who will listen that he is not selling vehicles to isis. >> it was just such a shock when it happened. i didn't know what to say. >> reporter: when houston area plumbing company sold his truck to a local dealer in october of 2013, he had no idea it would wind up on syria's front lines, being used by islamist fighters, with his plumbing company name

and phone number still on the side. >> it hurts my feelings that anyone could possibly think that we were connected to terrorism in any way. >> reporter: he says he was assured by the dealership it would remove his information before selling the truck. but there it was in the photo, which then went viral. >> that country is going down the toilet, but for the first time, they know who to call to unclog it. >> reporter: it was featured on the last episode of the colbert report, seen by millions of people earlier this year. since then, he says he's had threats and thousands of phone calls like this one. >> what the [ bleep ] is going on? selling your truck to isis? who did that? that's not right. >> reporter: here's how the truck left the country, he sold the truck to an auto nation dealership in houston which sent it to an auction near dallas. then a used car dealer bought the truck and the manager confirms with the lettering still on it and advertised it for sale on their website. the manager told us someone then

called from an international phone number to buy it for use in turkey. >> he wired the money and arranged for shipment. and that was it. the car ended up being shipped to turkey. >> reporter: it's not known exactly how the truck then made its way from turkey to syria. >> used to have mark one plumbing inc. on the internet. now it comes up mark one plumbing isis. >> reporter: they did not respond to requestis for commen. but they thought the auction company was removing the details. the auction firm couldn't confirm that they sold the truck. >> thanks very much. on this, the second day of deliberations, jurors said they were deadlocked in the trial of a baltimore cop charged with manslaughter in the death of freddie gray. the judge ordered them to keep

snowstorms dumped nearly 7 feet of snow in 48 hours. the city had blown through its $6 million snow removal budget. do you miss it a little bit? i mean, it copkeeps you guys in business. >> yeah, there's something in me that does miss it a little bit. but it will be here eventually. >> reporter: but tis the season to break records. this is the latest buffalo has gone without snow since 1899. and you can thank el nino. it has warmed ocean water in the pacific that has led to mild air blowing in from the west. at the same time, a polar jet stream is keeping the cold air bottled up and away from the northeast. meteorologist erik fischer. >> last year we had a weak polar vortex and it allowed cold air to move southward. this year it's spinning very tightly around the arctic and that's where it's expected to

stay. >> reporter: these systems have created extreme weather k conditions on both kohl'coasts. lake-effect snow could hit buffalo on friday. the national weather service is saying next week temperatures could be in the 50s, possibly near 60 on christmas eve. jareca duncan, thanks very much. we'll show you a rare view of a raund view in space when we come back.

this is the "cbs overnight news." welcome to the overnight news. the republican presidential contenders gathered at theva knee shan hotel last night for round five of their presidential debate. it is the final political slugfest of the year and donald trump is front and center. he leads his closest challenger, ted cruz, by 27 points, but trump has issues in iowa where two out of three recent polls show cruz in the lead. all that set the stage for the debate. here's what some of the candidates had to say. >> mr. trump, as you mentioned in your opening statement, part of your strategy is focus in on

the country's borders. you want to temporarily ban non-american muslims from coming to the united states, ban refugees fleeing isis from coming here. deport 11 million people and wall off america's southern border. is the best way to make america great again to isolate it from much of the rest of the world? >> we are not talking about isolation. we're talking about security. we're not talking about religion. we're talking about security. our country is out of control. people are pouring across the southern border. i will build a wall. it will be a great wall. people will not come in unless they come in legally. drugs will not pour through that wall. as far as other people, like in the migration where they're going tens of thousands of people having cell phones with isis flags on them, i don't think so, wolf, they're not coming to this country, and if

i'm president and if obama has brought some to this country, they're going, they're leaving. they're gone. [ applause ] >> governor bush, you called mr. trump unhinged when he proposed banning non-american muslims from the united states. why is that unhinged? >> well, first of all, we need to destroy isis in the caliphate. that's, that should be our objective. the refugee issue will be solved if we destroy isis there, which means we need to have a no-fly zone, safe zones there for refugees and build a military force. we need to embed our troops inside the iraqi military and arm the kurds. and all of that has to be done in concert with the arab nations. and if we're going to ban all muslims, how are we going to get them to be part of a coalition to destry isis. the kurds are muslim. this is not a serious proposal. in fact, it will push the muslim

world, the arab world away from us when we need to collaborate to destroy isis. donald is great at the one-liners, but he's a chaos candidate and he'd be a chaos president. he would not be the commander in chief we need to keep our country safe. [ applause ] >> mr. trump. >> jeb doesn't really believe i'm unhinged. he said that very simply because he has failed in this campaign. it's been a total disaster. nobody cares, and frankly, i'm the most solid person up here. i built a tremendous company and all i want to do is make america great again. i don't want our country to be taken away from us, and that's what's happening. the policies that we've suffered under other presidents have been a disaster for our country. we want to make america great again and jeb in all fairness doesn't believe that. >> look, he mentioned me, i can

talk. this is the problem. banning all muslims will make it harder for us to do exactly what we need to do, which is to destroy isis. we need a strategy. we need to get the lawyers off the back of the war fighters. right now under president obama we've created this standard that is so high that it's impossible to be successful in fighting isis. we need to engage with the arab world to make this happen. it is not a serious proposal to say to the people that you're asking for their support that they can't even come to the country to even engage in a dialog with us? that's not a serious proposal. we need a serious leader to deal with this, and i believe i'm that guy. >> senator rubio. i'm going to senator rubio and get his thoughts. you have said banning muslims is unconstitutional, but according to a recent abc news poll, a majority of republicans support mr. trump's idea. why are they wrong? >> i understand why they feel that way, because this president hasn't kept us safe. the problem is we had an attack

in san bernardino, and we were paying attention to the most important issue since 9/11. but this is what's important to do. we must deal frontally with this. this is the most sophisticated terror group that has ever threatened the world or the united states of america. they are actively recruiting americans. the attacker in san bernardino was an american citizen, a health inspector, a newborn child and left all that behind to kill 14 people. we also understand this is a group that's growing in its governance of territory. it's not just iraq and syria, they are now pry dominant in libya, afghanistan, now in yemen. they have jordan in their sights. this group needs to be confronted with serious proposals, and this is a significant threat we face and the president has left us unsafe. he spoke to the american people, i wish he hadn't spoken at all.

he said we're going to keep doing what we're doing now. and what we're doing now is not working. [ applause ] >> hugh hewitt, you have a question? >> senator cruz, you say you disagree with mr. truchlt's policy. i don't want a cage match. you've tweeted you don't want a cage match, but republican primary voters deserve to know, with the specificity you've delivered in supreme court arguments how you disagree. >> everyone has understood why he has suggested what he has. we have a president engaged in double speak, where he doesn't call radical islamic terrorism by its name. indeed, he gives a speech after the san bernardino attack where his approach is to try to go after the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens rather than to ep coo keep us safe. and even worse, president obama and hillary clinton are proposing of bringing tens of thousands of refugees to this

country when the head of the fbi has told congress they cannot vet those refugees. i understand why donald trump made that proposal. i've introduced legislation that i believe is more focussed at the actual threat which is radical islamic terrorism. and what my legislation would do is suspend all refugees from three years from countries where isis or al qaeda controls substantial territory. >> so you're saying because he's too broad and you're having him narrowed the focus. why do you disagree with him? >> i'm reminded of what fdr's grant father said. he said all horse thieves are democrats. but not all democrats are horse thieves. [ laughter ] in this instance, there are millions of peaceful muslims across the world in countries like india, where there is not the problems we are seeing in nations that are controlled, have territory controlled by al qaeda or isis. and we should direct at this

problem, focus on the problem and defeat radical islam eck terrorism. choose to move freely. move free ultra has triple-action support for your joints, cartilage and bones in one tiny pill. move free ultra. get your move on. and now try move free night. the first and only 2-in-1 joint and sleep supplement.

with the holiday shopping season in full swing, the federal government is putting new restrictions on one of the hottest gift the of the year -- drones. the faa wants you to register your drones starting next week. we report from a best buy in virginia. >> reporter: the increasingly crowded skies and reports of airborne close calls means starting monday, neils will have to register his drone. >> they're still a great hobby that can be done safely. >> reporter: under the newly announced rules, all drones weighing 250 grams or more will have to be registered.

they will have until february 19th to registered drones they already own. scott brenner is a former assistant faa administrator. >> it's going to help the faa directly deal with the new drone user about what they need to know when they fly that drone. >> reporter: through that education effort, the faa hopes to reduce the reports of reckless drone use. registration requires a person's name, mailing address and e-mail. each operator will be given a registration number which must be displayed on every drone owned. while the drone industry has been largely supportive of the effort, the academy of aeronautic says it's disappointed saying it's an unnecessary burden for our 185,000 members who have been operating safely for decades. others have questioned the faa's decision to charge a $5 registration fee.

this lawyer advocates for the industry. >> we're concerned this doesn't create a disincentive to sign up for the registry. >> reporter: the faa is going to waive the $5 fee for the first 30 days. the fee is the same whether you're registering a drone or a 787. the nation is anticipating the most anticipated movie of the year. the biggest stars in the galaxy turned out for the world premiere. ben tracy was there. ♪ >> reporter: even if you're not a fan,'s been general possible to escape the force that is "star wars." for die-hard fans, it's a religious experience. and even for casual moviegoers, this is the "star wars" they've

been looking for. >> i'm a "star wars" fan. i pay homage to a film i really respect. so i feel good. >> reporter: the latest chapter features a stable of fresh faces. and some familiar ones too. >> we're home. >> listen, these kids, i'm thinking about asking them for advice. >> jj is a director i really admire. have for a long team. i was pleased. >> reporter: anticipation forethis movie is out of this recalled would. the premiere here in hollywood was so massive they shut down four city blocks, the oscars is done in this very same street and they only shut down one. not bad for a film franchise that many worried about when george lucas sold it to disney. disney paid lucas $4 billion. and then gave the keys to their newest toy to director jj abrams. >> this is obviously as surreal as it gets, and i couldn't feel

more honored or more lucky to be here and be part of this. >> i'll show them the dark side. >> reporter: disney is hoping a massive box office performance is part of this too. the hollywood reporter says the force awakens is being released on a record number of screens. more than 4100. and the movie has already brought in more than $50 million in presale tickets. industry experts estimate it could rake in $220 million on opening weekend. putting the force awakens in a galaxy of its own. galaxy of its own. ben oh no...

what i want. but a director can do it with a lot less money and just say i'm going to create a world where people can fly. ♪ >> reporter: george lucas didn't create a new society. he constructed an entire galaxy. ♪ on its surface, the "star wars" series is a sci-fi space oddity with odd creatures and epic space battles. but its genius lies in the simple story beneath all of that. timeless elements like family. >> i am your father. >> reporter: is the dark side stronger? >> no. no. >> reporter: and the fight between good and evil. >> i felt a great disturbance in the force. >> reporter: as its creator, lucas has been called one of the great innovators in film

history. but in his heart, he considers himself a storyteller. didn't you in the beginning intend to make three movies when you started and then you decided to only take one part of that life story? >> yeah, i took the first act. but then the first act didn't really work. so i said okay. what i'm going to have to do is take the ending of the third film and put it on the first film. what you do, you've got a bunch of stuff sitting on your desk as you're creating. let me take that and stick that in there. i wasn't worried about the sequels when i was making it. because i have to make this the best film. then when i moved on to the other ones, i said gee, ben kenobi's dead, what do i do? and then the death star. but part of it was simply when i got down to some of the other movies, i was able to create an

environment and a world that wasn't possible when i started the first one. so, to me, getting to do a sword fight with yoda, which i'd always wanted to do, but i couldn't do it, because he was a muppet. >> reporter: lucas became a pioneer in the world of special effects. his work forever changed the way films are made. and he changed how they sound, too. ♪ one, two, three o'clock >> reporter: in his 1973 film "american graffiti", he opted out of a traditional composer. he narrated the entire story with popular songs. >> that's the clearest end point for a teenager is the music. half of what a teenager is, is music. the other half is trouble or

raging hormones or whatever you want to describe it. but at the same time, that's what the movie's about. >> reporter: cars and music and raging hormones. >> yeah. i should have called it that. you finally figured it out. studio wanted to call it "another slow night in modesto." but cars, music and raging hormones, it could have been a hit. ♪ let's go surfing now >> reporter: it was one of the most commercially successful films of its time. ♪ some enchanted evening >>reporter: before he was 40, he went on to make the first three "star wars" and raiders of the lost ark. and then he walked away. >> i mean, i gave up directing in order to become a dad. for 15 years. i just ran a company and was an innovator, but it was not doing what i really like to do, which is actually make movies.

>> reporter: because you wanted to be a dad. >> because, yeah. and i never was one of those things that you don't expect it to happen. but once i was a dad, it was like a bolt of lightning struck me. >> reporter: lucas adopted his first daughter with his wife marsha in 14981. after they divorced he adopted two more and became a single dad. then in 2013 he married mellody hobs hobs hobson. >> the thing that is a miracle is that we're exactly the same. >> reporter: together they have a 2-year-old daughter. >> it's a miracle. it wasn't supposed to happen but it did. >> reporter: here george is able to concentrate on being a father. three years ago, he sold his company, lucas films to disney for $4 billion.

>> who are you? >> no one. >> reporter: let me just talk about the upcoming "star wars," the force awakens. how do you feel about it? >> well, it's, you know, i made the decision to sell the company. "star wars." i made that decision, because i looked at the future. i looked at the thought that i was going to have a baby, that i was married, and i looked at the fact that i wanted to build a museum, and i looked at the fact that i wanted to make experimental films. so my life was going on a different track, so that started that ball rolling. so, in the end, when i sold it, they hired jj to come in. >> reporter: so are you at peace with this in. >> yeah. >> reporter: as much as you can be? >> yeah, no, i was, i said, look, i'm fine. fortunately, i'm old enough to have been through all this stuff before. and i'm sure it will do

magnificent business. i'm sure they'll do a great job. it will be different from what i would have done. >> reporter: everything he's done has earned him a prestigious kennedy center honor. >> george lucas, a path finder and pioneer. >> reporter: at the awards, his good friend steven spielberg explained it best. >> he changed movies absolutely forever. >> i'm successful because i made movie every three years. he makes three movies every year. i said when are you going to retire, i'm not going to retire. my ultimate dream is to die on a set keel over in the middle of shooting. i said gee, my ambition is to die in bed watching one of your movies on television. >> reporter: but that doesn't mean he's slowing down anytime soon. because you have worn all these hats, though, film maker, director, storyteller, writer,

innovator, what do you want the first line of your obituary to ,

the recent mass shootings have a lot of new gun owners heading to the range. that includes pastors in northern california. john blackstone reports. >> reporter: god fearing, gun toting. they were jinvited here by a gu instructor. >> some are from church security and they come from different churches. >> reporter: peabody offers the class free to members of any church. he's trained more than five hundred. >> safe and saved.

>> reporter: does it seem to go against the sanctity of the church in any way to be taking guns in? >> not at all. not at all. the bible tells us to be our brother's protector. it's just another tool. >> reporter: micah anderson leads the youth ministry at his church. >> to protect myself and my family. the fact that i also work at the church and serve in that way is an add benefit. >> reporter: many of these trainees say they become more focussed with each new mass shooting, and they know churches have been targeted. most recently in june when nine people were killed at a bible study in south carolina. police training changed for active shooters after the columbine shooting. officers were taught to react more rapidly. but even a good guy with a gun can be a danger. >> you might end up shooting another concealed weapons holder
