7:04 am
the status with a blowout that left ted cruz on the edge of elimination and john kasich as far behind as ever. probably not surprisingly, trump celebrated in classic new york style. ♪ king of the hill >> reporter: donald trump strolled trump antly tuesday nightcasting himself as presumptive nominee. >> we don't have much of a race anymore. based on what i'm seeing on television, senator cruz is just about mathematically eliminated. >> the jubilation did not diffuse trump's ongoing fight with the republican party. >> it's really nice to win the delegates with the votes, you know, it's really nice. the people aren't going to stand for it. it's a crooked system. it's a system that's rigged. >> cbs news exit polls showed almost 70% of republican voters said the candidate with the most votes should be the nominee, even if he fails to win a majority of delegates. in philadelphia ted cruz looked
7:05 am
past the new york shellacking and tried to condense his uphill campaign into a single somewhat halting message. >> merge has always been best when she is lying down with her back on the mat and the crowd has given the final count. >> after a week of staff pteam is finally positioned for the weeks ahead. >> my team is amazing. it's a team of unity, evolving but people don't understand that. >> trump's new campaign team, of course, is focused on winning primaries. also woo delegates alipd with marco rubio and those attached to kasich and cruz. >> hillary clinton has about 80% of the delegates she needs. she could go over the top by the
7:06 am
middle of next month. a victory that has clinton looking toward november. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. decisive 16 point win put sanders into mathematical reality. not to go negative on the party's likely nominee. >> there's no place like home. >> reporter: celebrating in times square clinton extended an olive branch to sanders supporters. >> to all the people who supported senator sanders, i believe there is much more that unites us than divides us. >> but sanders arriving home in vermont wasn't as eager to make nice. >> i am really concerned about the conduct of the voting process in new york state. >> reporter: he criticized new york's primary system, which did not allow registered independents who often favored him to vote. >> that makes no sense to me at
7:07 am
all. people should have the right to participate in a primary and vote for their candidate. >> sanders carried most of new york's counties but clinton won in metropolitan new york and the surrounding counties which were home to about 70% of the state's vote. clinton's aides argue the tough new attacks on clinton back fired. >> i don't question her judgment -- >> reporter: sanders insisted he can still catch up. >> when we stand together, there is nothing that we cannot accomplish. >> reporter: but with a nearly insurmountable lead, clinton sounded more confident than ever. >> the race for the democratic nomination is in the homestretch and victory is in sight. >> reporter: there were some issues during tuesday's primaries. some irregularities at voting sites in brooklyn which led to some voters turned away from
7:08 am
polling stations. hundreds of complaints were filed and an audit ordered with the support of mayor bill de blasio. >> thanks so much. john dickerson in washington. good morning, john. >> good morning, charlie. >> trump is winning primaries. he's better organized. he has better leadership in his campaign. is anything likely to stop him now? >> it seems awfully hard to see how he would get stopped. even if he doesn't get to 1237 that would give him a majority, every one of these big wins is a chance for him to come out and make a claim for fairness. he's turned into the fairness candidate who is saying if i go to the convention and have the delegates and votes, i should get the nomination regardless of this threshold. that's a huge moment for him to make that argument in the debate he's been in with the republican party. every one of these victories he gets. he's building momentum toward that number he needs to get but also building points in an
7:09 am
argument. >> go ahead, norah. >> what are the challenges for him now, john? >> well, the challenges are for him to keep draining the never trump movement from getting any fresh new anecdotes. he stopped the eruptions we used to see every couple of hours. he's got a new campaign team that's obviously added some discipline to the process. he needs to basically keep making his fairness argument, which is really one of the best cases he can make for future contests, telling people to rally around him because he thinks basically that the voice of the people should be heard. that's a great pitch for him to make for the rest of the contest. >> bernie sanders outspent hillary clinton by millions of dollars here in new york. he had huge crowds and yet she crushed him on election day yesterday. will today be remembered as the day she clinched the nomination? the next three contests, pennsylvania, new jersey and california, in which she's expected to win handily. >> i think you're right.
7:10 am
it was a decisive win, proved underlying rules clinton team and most democratic strategists are in place, which is to say in a closed primary with multi-diverse electorate she does well. and she did very, very well. it's mathematically you can add the numbers up to get a way for sanders to survive but you almost need to do some voodoo to make it work. she's really on her way. other than some miracle happening for bernie sanders, she's going to have the nomination. >> back to donald trump, is it possible the party now will understand he is inevitable and it's necessary for them to rally around him? by that i mean his competitors in the primary process and party leaders? >> i don't know about competitors in the primary process. they don't necessarily lose anything by staying in the race. that's different than the case for bernie sanders. it will be interesting to see how he behaves. in terms of party leaders, i think there are a lot of people
7:11 am
who write big checks for the party who don't want trump to be the nominee. but these victories make it very hard to go at him. >> john, thank you. in the next half hour, how republican campaigns nail down support of party delegates in case there is a contested convention. we'll look at the questions raised by offers of free flights, lavish meals and hotel stays. president obama is in saudi arabia at the start of a week long trip to the middle east in europe. "air force one" touched down this morning in riyadh. the visit comes amid growing uncertainty in u.s.-saudi relations. margaret with what the president is trying to accomplish. >> reporter: it's the fourth visit to saudi arabia but tensions have never been quite this high. he will meet with the king to try to heal the rift, after free riders too reliant on military. also said saudi needs to share

neighborhood with long time foe iran. that is easier said than done because two countries are on opposite sides of brutal wars. president going after saudis to pull back. saudi royals are deeply skeptical of the president's intentions. they already felt betrayed by u.s.-brokered nuclear deal with iran, which gave it new influence in this region. today the u.s. tried to reassure saudis by offering more military support. they are already the largest buyer of american-made weapons. despite these differences, the two countries still need each other. most importantly, gayle, in that fight against isis. >> all right. margaret brennan reporting from riyadh. we thank you. first criminal charges relating to flint lead water crisis are expected today in michigan. at least two people connected with state department of environmental quality and city of flint could be charged. michigan's attorney general began investigating after they switched to the water source of the flint water in 2014.
7:13 am
the water was not positively treated. many children tested positive for elevated levels of lead. paul egan says this investigation is far from over. >> investigators talk about gross negligence-type charges. but what we also have are false reporting charges that can lead to charges such as mail fraud and wire fraud. >> more charges could be filed at the state level. u.s. attorneys office and fbi are also investigating. more rescues overnight in houston. flooding is blamed for eight deaths in texas. a research scientist estimates almost 9 trillion gallons of rain fell on the state in the last three days. omar live in houston where the flood threat exists. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. parts of this neighborhood as you can see are still under water. residents at this apartment complex behind me have been evacuated and aren't sure when

videotape. something to think about, mr. ryan. welcome back to "cbs this morning." coming up, some call it a wild west of conventions. a contested convention means candidates would need to earn the loyalty of delegates. how campaigns and their supporters could sway delegates with lavish offers. plus, melody hobson with how cbs is trying to transform its business with drive-in service. customers may never have to walk inside the drug store again. can you imagine? ahead, questions about when the strategy could backfire. time to show you some of the morning's headlines. "usa today" reports the pentagon has approved new rules for air strikes against isis in syria and iraq. they could increase the risk of more civilian casualties. that risk will be weighed against a threat posed by the targeted militants. the pentagon says commanders go to great lengths to protect civilians. "the miami herald" reports on former leader fidel castro bidding farewell to his communist party leaders. the 89-year-old appeared at a
7:32 am
meeting of the cuban communist party. he said he would die eventually but communist cuba ideas will endure. his brother, raul, will continue as the country's president. and "time" reports the government will study when it's safe for kids to start playing tackle football. the centers for disease control and prevention will collect research on concussions. some experts suggest beginning tackle football at age 14 could lower the risk of brain trauma a. the gop campaigns are fighting to win and keep nearly 2,500 delegates who will go to the republican convention. donald trump still needs 393 to clinch the nomination. if he comes up short, that would trigger a contested convention. delegates would be free to vote for anyone. julianna goldman is outside the future trump international hotel in washington with the effort to security delegates' loyalty. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. now, donald trump says he won't woo delegates by putting them up at his hotels. the art of courting delegates takes many forms and pushes
7:33 am
boundaries. since the last republican contested convention was 40 years ago, campaigns and their lawyers are trying to figure out just how far the law can take them. >> you're basically saying delegate, listen, we're going to send you on a boeing 757 -- >> reporter: donald trump has been lashing out at his rivals, suggesting they're essentially buying delegates' votes. >> it's a rigged system. it's a crooked system. it's 100% crooked. >> reporter: campaign finance experts like attorney kenneth gross say he has a point. >> i don't think you'll see any brown paper bags with cash in it. but certainly you're going to see some efforts to influence these delegates in some way. >> reporter: federal law allows delegates to have their convention trips paid for, as long as the money isn't from businesses, labor unions, foreign nationals, and federal contractors. generally, there are no limit on how much delegates can accept, and they don't have to report any of it.
7:34 am
that means flight on private jets, nights in five-star hotels, and dinners at gourmet restaurants paid for by wealthy donors, super pacs, or campaigns themselves, is perfectly legal. >> some of it may be innocent, you know, let's go out for a drink. or it could be a lavish weekend somewhere. or it could be a promise for a specific position. >> reporter: at the last contested republican convention in 1976, gerald ford wooed delegates with promises of trips on air force one and invites to state dinners. ronald reagan countered with calls from his hollywood pals, pat boone, jimmy stewart, and john wayne. delegates tend to be lifelong political junkies. and in the end, convention veterans think they will be swayed not by the wining and dining but by good old-fashioned horse trading. >> would you like job at the national committee? would you like to be national
7:35 am
chairman? all these patronage jobs within the party and campaigns are going to be part of the conversation. >> reporter: does it raise any corruption questions? >> sure. it's a narrow band walking. you're not supposed to promise a job for a vote. >> reporter: election lawyers say this really is the wild west. there is work that apply to anti-corruption laws that apply during elections, but it's unclear if they apply to votes during political conventions. >> thank you very much. the nation's second-largest drug store chain, that's cvs, is launching what it hopes will be a more convenient way to shop without even going in the store. cvs express is a free, curbside pickup service. the program is already available in san francisco, atlanta, and charlotte. the chain plans to roll out the service to most of the stores by the end of this year. cbs news financial contributor melody hobson is in san francisco. good to see you. >> reporter: good morning. >> half the fun of me to going to cvs is buying that you will unnecessary stuff you don't need.
7:36 am
how is this going to work? this program? >> this is the first of its kind. the pharmacist industry's real attempt to allow you to buy on line, pick up at the store, but take it a step further -- use never get out of the car. they deliver to you curbside. they've developed this app with a company called curbside which uses gps technology, much like uber, to alert the store when you're one minute away. they have you spark in a specific spot and -- park in a specific spot and deliver your order to you. >> any reason it's happening now? >> it's happening now because they're going against the all things to all people retailer, amazon. this is one way to try to establish a different kind of service and convenience to customers. >> i'm with gayle, i like to browse and pick pup extra stuff. what stuff will be offered curbside? >> 75% of the inventory. you won't be able to buy alcohol this way, and you will not be able to pick up prescription drugs this way.
7:37 am
in many stores, they have a separate drive-thru window for picking up prescription drugs. in that situation, it's too ii stops. >> in terms of amazon and how they threaten to disrupt a variety of companies, has anyone found a successful way to do something like this to impede the amazon erosion of their customer base? >> certainly, many, many retailers are trying everything, throwing everything and the kitchen sink at amazon. the one barrier to entry that helps cvs and other drug store retailer is specifically related to the fact that they sell prescription drugs. it's a highly regulatedistry that creates barriers -- regulated industry that creates barriers, something that amazon does not do. that helps in this situation to wall themselves off from this onslaught of online competition. >> do you see any downside for the store? see it backfiring at all? >> well, it's the impulse purchase issue that you talked about. when you go into a drug store,
7:38 am
most people stroll the aisles and discover lots of things, throw in that pack of gum, that magazine. >> yes. >> or when you're waiting for the prescription to be filled, you spend your time walking up and down the aisles. the question is, tell cannibalize that im-- will it cannibalize that impulse snrch. >> yeah. i bought some baby bubble bath the other day, and i don't have a baby. i thought i'll try. >> i don't believe that -- >> if you come to my bathroom, you'll see it right now. johnson's baby bubble. yes, i'm going to take a picture. >> you are. instagram. follow her. the picture is coming. >> charlie, i don't make stuff up. >> great to see you, melody. >> thanks. did a best-selling author

>> if i could talk to my 19-year-old self, i'd say, hey, you're going to date just like a normal 20-something should be allowed to, but you're going to be a national lightning rod for s shlut shaming -- slut shaming. >> she shared lighthearted insight into her world. >> reporter: what advice would you give to anyone who wants to be a finger? >> get a good lawyer. >> reporter: what's your favorite food? >> i mean, if we're just saying like what i wish i could eat every day if calories didn't count is like chickenten tender. >> reporter: what would you order at a drive-thru? >> cheeseburger, fries, chocolate shake. >> reporter: what's goal you want to acleave? >> i want an -- achieve? >> i want an honorary doctorate degree because i think ed sheeran looks down on me for not having one. >> and my parents used to plant
8:35 am
trees on our birthdays. >> someone said the thing to do before you die, plant a tree, have a b.w. parkway and write a from their garage. we're pleased to have him on the program. great to see you. >> good to see you. >> good to see you. tell us what the clouds does and why it's important and where is the future. >> yeah. what the cloud enables is the ability for people, when in your personal life or in a business context, so going to work, to allow you to access any information that you have from any device, anywhere you are, to share with anyone. what we do at box is we help businesses take their most important information, their documents, their financial data, their marketing assets, and be able to securely store and share
8:36 am
that data from any location that they want. >> is there emphasis on the word "secure"? there's a movie, "sex tape," if you've seen it. there's a funny scene that involves a sex tape. and jason says, "nobody understands the cloud, nobody knows where it goes." you're saying with box it's secure? >> yes. we tend to store different kind of data -- >> you're laughing nervously. >> we're in a very different business than probably what was portrayed in that movie. >> yes. >> you know, the most important thing when an enterprise is going to use the cloud or in our personal lives, if we're going to store photos or personal communications in the cloud, you have to be able to trust the security and reliability of the service that you're using. so when that's sharing photos or your most precious and important business documents, you fundamentally have to make sure that the technology is secure. >> how are you able to keep it secure? >> this is something that we invest in pretty significantly compared to everything else at box. and so everything from the
8:37 am
security of our systems to the kind of analytics that we give our customers so they can ensure that they see what's going on with their data and who's accessing it and where it's being accessed from. so that's -- that's how we focus on security. >> when you look at change in technology, people talk about mobile, people talk about the cloud. and people talk about what else when you guys are thinking about the future? >> yeah. i think right now, if you look at silicon valley, there's focus on things like artificial inteigence, virtual reality or augmented reality. it has the impact of technology working more for us as opposed to us having to spend more time with technology. so can we actually have the underlying tools that we're using become smarter? in our personal lives, that might be daily benefits from a utility standpoint -- >> cleaning house and thing. that's the most difficult thing, they say, the people involved in artificial intelligence, is it involves so many movements. which are the hardest things to
8:38 am
do in robots. >> yes. it probably will be a while until you have a robot who can clean your house in a proficient way. in the meantime, things like checking in to flights and knowing what meeting to go to next, knowing what's on your agenda, that's the simple stuff. where it gets powerful is where we apply artificial intelligence or machine learning to things like how do we solve, you know, different kinds of cancer issues -- >> it's already being done. >> yes. we can actually apply technology to our most pressing problems like education, health care, life sciences, even the government. >> i think one of the most important debates is security. it's not personal security. it's secure from the government and legislation. as you know, your industry is under pressure from law enforcement to share more data. there's legislation in congress that would force you to do that. >> yeah. so one of the biggest issues we're seeing is this collision between our legacy laws, the laws that were built up the past couple hundred years, designed to protect information and
8:39 am
protect consumer and protect citizens in the physical world. and give the government certain access to data in the physical world. the problem is is in the digital world, that information needs to be protected in a very different way. and our laws and policies and the way the government interacts with the technology industry sort of assumes that we're still in that physical era. that physical world that is defined by borders and boundaries. and we're not there anymore. so in a world where billions of people are going to be on the internet, where we're going to be accessing and communicating with anyone in the world from any device, we need a different set of laws that are going to ensure the protection of our information. that is going to ensure the protection of data for consumers, brksz and even the government -- businesses, and even the government. that's what we're running into with the fbi versus apple or microsoft versus the government. we're in the very early stages of probably what is going to be a decade of change that's going to be necessary in our laws and practices. >> good on you, aaron levy, 31. you dropped out of college. you have a $1.5 billion company. your parents said, great, son,
8:40 am
you're quitting school. >> it was more dramatic than that. but ultimately, they were fine with the proposition. probably up until about five years in, my mom kept asking me when i was going get a degree. that's since subsided. >> doing a-okay. thank you. best-selling author john grisham offers up a plot twist. >> i don't view my books as important. i view my books as entertainment. first and foremost as entertainment. "the tumor" is the only book i've written with the potential of advancing some technology that will have a profound impact on the lives of millions of people. >> ahead, john grisham talks with chip reid about the

john grisham has told more than 300 million copies of his books worldwide. while he's popular for his legal thrillish, his latest explores mo modern health care. chip reid talked about it and his efforts to share it with everybody. chip's in a washington book store. >> reporter: john grisham's books are usually found in the mystery section. his last book, "the tumor," is more likely to be found in a medical section. it tells the story of a young husband and father with a brain tumor.
8:45 am
he's treated with radiation and lives a year. in an alternate ending he's treated with focused ultra sound and lives five to ten years. >> i don't view my books as important. i few my books as entertainment. first and foremost as entertainmentment. >> reporter: that's how grisham feels about his legal page-turners that have entertained millions of readers. >> i'm trying to figure out how far you want to invent. >> reporter: and inspired several blockbuster movies. >> want to talk about the brief? >> everyone i've told about the brief is dead. >> reporter: now for the first time, grisham has written a back that he calls important. so important he's giving it away for free. >> "the tumor" is the only book i've written that has the potential of advancing some technology that will have a profound effect on the lives of millions of people. >> reporter: the focused ultrasound sfoingz based at the university -- foundation is base ted university of virginia. grisham is on the board. he decided he could have a much
8:46 am
bigger impact by writing a nonlegal thriller than doing what board members usually do. you didn't want to sit down and call people and say can you contribute money? >> not going to do that. i've learned a value lesson. when i ask somebody for money, it normally doesn't take very long for them to return the favor. >> reporter: focused ultra sound is a non-innovative outpatient treatment that targets diseased tissue with multiple beams of ultrasound energy with extreme precision. so far, it's approved by the fda to treat prostate tumors, uterine fibroids, and bone metastases. but it could eventually be approved to treat dozens of diseases including parkinson's, alzheimer's, and a long list of cancers. >> the vast majority have never heard of focused ultrasound. >> reporter: grisham met retired brain surgeon dr. neil cassell 15 years ago in virginia where they both. cassell runs the targeted
8:47 am
ultrasound foundation and asked grisham to join the board. >> one of the key development to the technology is lack of -- key blocks to the development of the technology is lack of knowledge. we have a celebrity on our board who's got a brand, who can tell a story, and who has a following. this is the brain here. >> reporter: cassell admits the technology is in its infancy, and ongoing clinical trials need years more data to prove the procedure's effectiveness. >> it may not work. needs to be demonstrated. for malignant brain tumors, it's only going to improve longevity. for benign tumors, it will be an alternative to surgery and radiation therapy and forms of keep tla-- chemotherapy. >> reporter: you're saying it may not work at all on malignant tumors? >> may have flow value compared to traditional -- have no value compared to traditional treatment. it has to be proven. the technology is revolutionary. the challenge is getting there.
8:48 am
>> reporter: grisham is well aware of the hurdles ahead, but the potential to improve the lives of millions keeps him going. >> after 37 books or 38 books, i can look back and say, yeah, that was a good one. i'm proud of that book. others i can look back and say, well, you know, i'm not too sure about that one. i'll never do that with "the tumor." >> reporter: you won't? >> no because it is what it is. if it finds a much bigger market, if it finds people to push our research to get us there, that's the purpose of the book. >> reporter: focused ultra sound is not cheap. grisham put the price of a treatment for a brain tumor in this book at about $75,000. and it is not covered by insurance. grisham and dr. cassell hopes that will change over time as its use becomes more common. norah? >> thank you. i love it -- john grisham such a good guy. >> bravo. >> glad he's bringing attention to this.
