7:03 am
welcome to "cbs this morning," gayle king is off. we're happy to welcome soledad o'brien to the table. pleased to have you. >> thank you. >> today could be an historic super tuesday. it is the biggest day in the presidential race so far. people already are voting in some of the 12 states, holding primaries or caucuses. 595 republican delegates are at stake, polls show donald trump is favored to pick up most of them. >> in the democratic race, 859 delegates are up for grabs and hillary clinton is predicted to win a big majority. nancy cordes, peggy noonan, john dickerson and major garrett are covering every angle of the super tuesday contest. we begin with major at a polling station in valdosta, georgia, near the florida border. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we're inside trinity presbyterian church as voters trickle in to determine if donald trump will emerge tonight as the likely republican presidential nominee for president. not so long ago, super tuesday looked tailor made for ted cruz.
7:04 am
no more. cruz and marco rubio trail trump badly and after tonight they could lose 10, maybe 11 states, given trump in terms of delegates and momentum, elements of his campaign that could prove unstoppable. >> trump 49%. little lightweight marco rubio, 16%. lying ted cruz 15%. >> campaigning in georgia, donald trump sounded triumphant as the tone of the 2016 republican campaign turned uglier. >> there is no room in the republican party and there is no room in the conservative moment for the kkk or david duke or anyone who will not condemn them. >> both marco rubio and ted cruz tried to turn trump's initial refusal to disavow an endorsement from former ku klux klan leader david duke into a disqualification for office. >> it is revealing of a willingness to traffic in some very ugly sentiment. >> reporter: his closest rivals also pounced on rumors that
7:05 am
trump took a softer line on immigration during an off the record, therefore, unreleasable session with "the new york times" editorial board. >> apparently he told them his real feelings about immigration which apparently are different than what he says in his speeches but it was off the record. so "the new york times" won't release it. >> donald, if you're sitting in th there, telling "the new york times" you're lying to the voters, the voters have a right to note. >> reporter: "new york times" refused comment. trump said this last night. >> we had a board meeting, it was off the record. all of a sudden they leak it. >> it's negotiable on the law. >> it is negotiablible. things are negotiable. i'll be honest with you, i'll make the wall two feet shorter or something. >> reporter: his anti-media rhetoric goes far beyond "the times." >> the political press is worst of all. >> reporter: a photographer trying to leave the media pen to cover black lives matter

7:07 am
chance, even a small one, to catch up in later states? >> virginia is clinton country! >> reporter: clinton country could stretch from virginia to texas today. she's leading by 20 points or more in polls of all of the southern states holding primaries. one of those states is arkansas where clinton was first lady when her husband was governor. >> i think it would take a woman to straighten this mess out. >> i sure like bernie but what he's suggesting, i can't see any way it's financially possible. >> reporter: sanders looks strong in colorado, minnesota and oklahoma. plus his home state of vermont. but those states contain less than a third of the delegates up for grabs today. >> i look around this crowd tonight, i think we're going to win here tomorrow. >> reporter: he and clinton are neck and neck in massachusetts, sanders made a late-night appeal to the states' voters. >> please come out to vote. please bring your friends, your family, your neighbors.
7:08 am
>> reporter: and he insisted the race is still just getting under way. >> last i heard we have a lot more than 15 states in the united states of america. >> he has promoted free college for everybody. >> reporter: clinton does still mention sanders in every speech but she has amped up her criticism the gop candidates as she looks to portray herself as their most likely rival. >> the republicans, i have to give them credit, they are persistent. persistently wrong. at some point you can't just say whatever pops into your head if you want to be the president of the united states of america! >> reporter: last night on the eve of super tuesday, the state department released its final batch of clinton's 30,000 private e-mails. in the end, more than 2,000 of those e-mails were deemed either partially or completely classified. the clinton campaign will be glad to get the drip, drip, drip of these e-mail releases behind
7:09 am
them but the larger issue isn't behind them, the fbi is still investigating her use of a private server and a federal judge said last week that some of her top aides should testify about it. >> nancy, thank you. cbs news election director anthony salvonto is here. could this be a clean sweep for hillary clinton tonight? >> it looks like it could be a super tuesday for her. she starts with the delegate lead over bernie sanders and she's got the lead in the polls, big states in georgia, in virginia and in texas, thanks largely to strong support from african-american voters who are so crucial in those states. bernie sanders hasn't been able to make inroads there. with 859 delegates at stake in 11 states, her lead could become insurmountable. >> could donald trump sweep the board? >> he certainly could. trump starts today with a delegate lead, 81-17 over cruz and rubio. this could be a make or break
7:10 am
night for both cruz and rubio. we start with two big states, georgia and virginia where trump leads because voters think he's their best shot at winning back the white house in november. watch for whether rubio and cruz have been able to change minds about that. the big state in play, texas, 155 delegates at stake. even more important is the politics. it's cruz's home state. he needs to hold it. he's leading in the polls but if trump wins there, it could be a knockout blow to cruz. >> john dickerson is here along with peg ngy noonan. >> good morning. >> what's happening behind the scenes within the republican party as they try to stop donald trump? >> there's a lot of panic. in conversations yesterday with republican veterans from campaigns and staffers on the hill, they're terrified about what it would be like to have donald trump as the party nominee. they would wake up every morning and members who are in their own
7:11 am
races would have -- be asked do you agree with what donald trump says, do you stand behind this? what changed it, they were pretty darn worried. what changed it was donald trump's inability to come up with an answer when he was asked about the kkk and white supremacists. not just what he didn't say but what he did. what lawmakers are noticing is an almost excessive political correctness. when asked about white supremacist, he didn't want to offend and suggest anyone was being a bigot. that's what shocks lawmakers. he has an unpredictable instinct the. >> does it go so far as look for another candidate. >> the only two options are trying to beat him at the convention and that would only work if he didn't get the right number of delegates. the other thing people are talking about is launching a third party ns candidate. running a third party candidate and giving conservatives a candidate to back that wasn't the republican nominee. >> even before the polls open today on super tuesday, 40% of
7:12 am
the vote has been cast in early absentee balloting. >> yes. >> are these attacks by trump, by cruz, too little too late? >> the attacks by trump and cruz -- >> cruz and rubio. >> cruz and rubio against trump, you know, the republican consultant class and the republican party decided nine and six and even three months ago this whole thing is going to go away. we don't have to take it on. we don't have to attack. when they finally realized, oh, my god, trump and trumpism are real, he could win, they suddenly thought they had to adopt his style and go aggressive and be tough and pugilistic. my sense of it is, it doesn't make anybody look better. they also -- i always thought rubio and cruz ought to be going at trump, having a conversation about policy as opposed to insulting each other. i'm all for consultants beating themselves up but i'm not even sure if they moved earlier it
quote
would have worked. >> the party is clearly in chaos. couldn't trump realistically bring down the gop? >> he could break it. you know, he could break it. imagine what would happen if he racks up a lot of delegates, they get pot convention, it looks like trump has won and is about to win and the party machinery finagles it away from him. trump supporters would bolt the republican party. at the same time, if trump waltzes to the nomination, wins, is crowned at the convention, there is a major sliver, maybe not just a sliver at the top of the party, that will start a republican party in exile. you can quite imagine that happening. we're seeing something big. >> and given that, if trump has a great night as is projected tonight and hillary clinton does as well, does this increase the chances that we will see mike bloomberg enter the race, that we will see another republican, whether it's mitt romney or someone else enter on a third party ticket? >> the think the second option is more likely.
7:13 am

democrats joining in? and are they actually generations past, we're talking about the grandchildren of the reagan democrats. >> thank you, peggy. thank you. >> thank you. >> norah and i will join our entire political team to bring you super tuesday results tonight in prime time special. coverage begins at 10:00, 9:00 central on cbs and cbsn will have continuous super tuesday coverage throughout the day. tune in on roku, apple tv, amazon fire tv and other supported devices. >> i wish i had all those tvs. >> i confess i do. >> how do i get those? fbi director james comey and the top lawyer for apple are set to testify today about digital encryption before the house judiciary committee. a federal judge handed apple a big win. he ruled the government cannot force april toll provide investigators access to a locked iphone in a drug case. the judge rejected the heart of the government's case, relying on the 1789 all writs act.
7:16 am
the decision could affect apple's standoff with the fbi over the san bernardino gunman's iphone. supreme court justice clarence thomas has broken his decade-long silence from the bench. thomas peppered a government lawyer with questions yesterday in a gun rights case. he last spoke at length in february, 2006 and his questions drew gasps from the audience. this is the court's second week of arguments since the death of justice antonin scalia. president obama hosts senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and judiciary committee chuck grassley today for a discussion at the white house about replacing scalia. republicans have vowed to block any nomination until after the president leaves office. sports caster erin andrews faces another emotional day in court. testimony resumed this morning in her case against a tennessee hotel. she is suing its owner, operator and the stalker after she was secretly filmed in her room in 2008. the online video has been seen

7:18 am
>> reporter: the 37-year-old tv sportscaster is suing the owner and operator of this nashville marriott, claiming the hotel failed to protect her privacy. >> national marriott could have called me and said we're putting this man that requested to be next to you, is this okay? i would have called the cops. >> reporter: in a recorded deposition, her stalker michael barrett described how he secretly filmed andrews in 2008, choosing her because she was trending online. he said he used a house phone in the hotel restaurant and asked to be connected to her room. >> they connected me. the house phone, concierge phone shows the room number. i knew what room she was in. >> reporter: he requested the room next door and rigged up peepholes sew could take andrews with a cell phone. >> my naked body was on the front page of "the new york pos post", like they put bars over my body parts. my girlfriend said she was
7:19 am
running around new york city throwing coffee on all the papers because she felt so bad. >> reporter: barrett pled guilty in 2010 and was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison. >> i never thut thought this wo happen. i never thought a hotel would let somebody next to me without telling me. >> reporter: lawyers for the marriott maintain there's no evidence showing the hotel deliberately placed barrett into that room and that he tricked his way in. he testified that he posted at least ten more videos of other women online. norah? >> disgusting. terrible. anna, thank you so much. donald trump's campaign thrived after being declared dead by political pundits. how the billionaire from our kpix weather center good morning everybody. see these clouds? watch what happens now. the clouds are drifting over the bay area and that is what we have today.

♪ good morning to our viewers in the west. it is tuesday, march 1st, 2016. welcome back to "cbs this morning." more real news ahead including super tuesday voting in 12 states. we'll ask new york daily news columnist mike lupica if anything can stop donald trump. here's "eye opener at 8." even bernie sanders would not dispute hillary clinton is going to win a majority of the states. the question is, how many? >> she starts today with the delegate lead over bernie sanders and she's got the lead in georgia, virginia and in texas. >> cruz and marco rubio trail trump badly and after tonight, they could lose 10, maybe 11 states. >> what's happening behind the scenes within the republican party? >> they're terrified about what
8:01 am
it would be like to have donald trump as the party nominee. >> the party is clearly in chaos. couldn't trump realistically bring down the gop? >> he could break it. >> if you told anyone a year ago that donald trump on super tuesday was going to be the republican front-runner, i mean, people would have laughed at you. >> we're going to win, win be wi with, win, win. >> coverage begins at 10:00. tune in on roku, apple tv ab am score fire tv and all other supported devices. >> i wish i had all those tvs. how do i get those? the long-awaited primary event super tuesday is tomorrow, yeah, well, so is "ncis" yelled jeb bush. there's a lot of stuff happening on tuesday! >> i'm charlie rose with norah o'donnell and soledad o'brien. gayle is off.
8:02 am
americans are voting right now in super tuesday states across the country. bernie sanders went to the polls in his home state of vermont earlier this morning. he looked strongest in colorado, minnesota and oklahoma. those states have less than one huff third of today's delegates. hillary clinton is poised to pick up most of the 859 delegates up for grabs. polls show her leading by 20 points or more in all the southern states holding primaries. clinton's campaign speechers are starting to focus more on the republicans than sanders. >> you get two americans together and they start talking politics, you know there's going to be differences. but that's part of our great democracy. what we can't let happen is the scapegoating, the blaming, the fingerpointing that is going on on the republican side. >> clinton will be in miami tonight as the super tuesday results come in. florida's primary is two weeks from today. republicans are handing out 595 delegates in 12 states, donald trump is expected to win
8:03 am
most of them. and the gop establishment is getting more nervous that trump will win the nomination. former senator and republican party chairman mel martinez told "the wall street journal," quote, if there is any, any, any other choice, a living, breathing person with a pulse, i would be there. tell us how you really feel, senator. >> 2012 nominee mitt romney hit trump for missing a chance to disavow support from white supremacist. on twitter romney called it, quote, disqualifying and disgusting response by donald trump to the kkk. that was ek code choed by south carolina governor nikki haley. >> the kkk came to south carolina from out-of-state to protest on our statehouse grounds. we saw and looked at true hate in the eyes last year in charleston.
8:04 am
i will not stop until we fight a man that chooses not to disavow the kkk, that is not a part of our party, that's not who we want as president. we will not allow that! >> trump was asked again this morning if he's ready to renounce all white supremacist support, he said, of course i am. mike lupica, syndicated columnist for "the new york daily news." is covering the presidential race. good morning. welcome back. >> good morning. >> the republican party, is it splitting apart in front of our very own eyes? >> i don't even think he's running as a republican. i think he's running from the party of trump. i wasn't aware in presidential politics you could use the dog ate my ear piece defense when you said something. and how about this word disavow? did disavow sounds like a sublanguage. no. i find him repugnant. he got asked three times the other day. i wish every time i said
8:05 am
something stupid on television could just, you know, blame it on the ear piece. >> blame it on the ear piece. what about this idea that the attacks started too late from ted cruz and marco rubio? >> you know, think about where we are, norah, with this campaign. what you're hearing now is that rubio should have gone after trump on things like spray tans and size of hands and which one of them sweats more before this. what sort of way is this to decide the leader of the free world? i always wonder what people outside this country are looking at now. >> we heard nikki haley, one of the other aing to she made yesterday, whether it was trump vodka or trump university, that all of these had been failures, that we're not a project the republican party, this is a race for president. the idea that some of the support behind trump is that people think he's a great businessman, and that he will bring that great business to the governing of washington. >> yes, but this information has been out there all along. i look at all of this outrage now and think, wait a minute, now, we're getting religion a little late in the church
8:06 am
service. and now we're at super tuesday and you're wondering, can anything happen tonight that will change the narrative? because eventually it's not about truth or beauty or these real housewives fights. it becomes simple math. if they don't stop them tonight or in the next couple weeks, you can't stop them. >> why do you think nothing sticks? even the kkk to business dealings to the pope to john mccain, the wllist goes on and and on. >> i asked the basketball chuck chuck daly why people like shaquille o'neal? he said this country loves great big action heroes. he turned himself into the great big action hero of this thing. here's the thing. i don't know if he thought the wall thing would resonate. he talks about a ban on muslims that he could never ever put into effect and they scream again. as long as he keeps carried by the roar of the crowd, why would he stop doing what he's doing? >> so the fault is with the voters and fault is with us?
8:07 am
>> yes, i think a little bit. we can talk about how dumb the campaign has become. i mean, i remember an old story in "psychology today," where did my iq points go? i know where they went. they got sucked into the republican race over the last three or four days. if people go for this, i do believe we always get the kind of leadership in this country that we deserve. >> i do, too. >> so now we're going to find out what happens if it's ever mr. trump and mrs. clinton on the stage. >> we have been fascinated by the spectacle and not the assault? >> charlie, it's a show. he has mastered the show. he has gained the system here. he has figured out that this is a great big, unfortunately, reality show in which he's starring now and so far, he's gotten enough people to go along with it. the other day when he was asked that question three times about david duke, okay? i don't think he misspoke.
8:08 am
i don't think he misunderstood the question. you could see him calibrating whether or not he was beginning to hurt himself with a large part of his base by what he said next. >> his first response was i don't know him, i don't know him. >> how can you not know david duke. >> the republicans i talked to say this is an student for us to remake our party. is this overstating it, that we may be witnessing something like 1856 where the republican party splinters, that you have a conservative party or something that comes out of the republican party? are we making of the conservative movement? >> think how upside down this thing has become. at the start of it, everybody was paranoid that trump would run as a third party candidate. now the republicans are wondering if they have to run their own third party candidate. oh, wait a minute, out of their own party. >> great to have you, mike. >> thank you very much. >> can we point out the cover of the "new york daily news"? >> the apocalypse is here. >> we will see tonight. we'll see tonight.

", be increasingly defined, dominated, and controlled by women. he's here. you don't mind being controlled by women do, you, charlie? >> i don't want to be controlled by anybody. >> he's here at the table along with jodi kanter. she's written extensively about gender and workplace issues. good morning to both of you. jack, good morning. >> good morning. >> how did you come to that conclusion. >> it's generational. statistically young men are defying gender norms. they're underit indicated, they're being outlearned by women, being outeducated, economically outperformed by
8:36 am
women, the jobs that are being created now in the workplace are requiring college ed indication, only 40% of college degrees are going to men versus 60% going to women, which is a flup of where we were in the 1970s. economically under 30, single unmarried women are outearning single unmarried childless men under 30 by almost 20%. >> so how does that -- >> it's a generational flip. >> right. how d us that change our concept of masculinity? >> these young men are not their fathers or grand faers. young men who are growing up more and more in fatherless home, growing up in homes where the woman is outearning her husband where they're both working. they're not just defying traditional gender norms, they're not learning traditional gender norm, but yet when they come into the work-force, their
8:37 am
adult years, these traditional gender norms are kind of being imposed on them. >> jodi, what do you see? >> really we see the gender rolls o r converging more in society, whether you look at women taking combat positions in the military or fathers staying home. almost nobody is living out the gender script or marriage script that their parents did and we find a lot of social confusion. i once interviewed a stay-at-home dad whose wife made a lot of money. he confessed to me, i'd like to buy my wife a piece of jewelry but i can't figure out to spend because she's the one who makes the money. people are trying to figure out this new money. >> and that stay-at-home dad when he goes to the party or an events with his wife, the first question asked is what do you do and that's the a greatest fear because they're not being supported. they don't have the support group, the 60 years of support that the women's movement has had. we're starting a whole new generation that doesn't get the
8:38 am
kind of support they need to help them as we're moving into this new world as they're moving into a world where two-thirds of all the -- >> isn't that how women have felt for so long, that we haven't gotten the support we need? >> women have had three periods of women's movements. you back 60 years and you have support groups being formed. almost every corporation has a women's group, there are no men's groups. churches, local organizations, community groups, they're not supporting men the way they're supporting women and men are not supporting men the way women are supporting women. >> the numbers, women are in this. if you look at the top ceo list, politics, men are doing just fine. >> until you get into the under 30. what i focus on in the book is
8:39 am
our sons and the trends that we're seeing and the patterns we're seeing and what our sons are coming into in terms of the opportunity they have. they're not -- they're underis indicated. they're more likely boys in high school. they're -- 50% more likely to be failing math, science, and reading. they're less likely to get into the colleges because economically a college degree doesn't mean as much to them. they only earn 10% more in a lifetime with a college degree. >> so, jodi, we're hearing more and more how women are becoming an important force. how does society sort all this out? >> some of this i think is experienced as very welcome. for instance when i interviewed younger men, some have been grateful and happy to have the expectation of having a spouse who will learn. when you look at the fact that a private school college education
8:40 am
costs $250,000 now, there are a lot of younger men who don't want to assume the burden of providing solely. but i think soledad is right to point out that ta barriers for women are especially stub board in many cases and so we've got this sort of complex duo situation but it often ends up feeling less like men are dominant or women are dominant but that people are sharing the anxiety of earning money and raising a family more easily than ever before. >> is the flip side of anxiety the opportunity to spend time with your children? you look at someone like mark zucker berd who takes a paternity leave. i don't know that there's a lot of bhoen do that. >> i do acknowledge in my book that even where both parents are working, women and even where the woman is outearning the men in 50% of the homes women are still doing more housework and doing more child carry.
8:41 am
that's changing with younger generations, but we really need to support the men and create a better dynamic and a better narrative, especially in media and advertising which portrays men often acid yachts and buffoons. we really in advertising often portray men as not able to change the baby's diaper or pick out their own analgesic. we need to change the nair tish around young men and we need to create a better sense of a man's role in the relationship and help him understand. 85% of all heterosexual relations that end are ended by the woman. >> jack myers, jodi cantor, thank you very much. the book's called "the future of men." it goes on sale today. a woman offers one of her kidneys to a stranger after seeing a facebook post. >> why did you up want to do it? >> it literally boils down to the fact that it's the right thing to do and this is the right thing to do.
