welcome to "cbs this morning." as you wake up in the west searches in the mediterranean finding what appears to be the first debris from egyptair flight 804. the airbus a-320 with 66 people aboard from paris to cairo. it went down this morning off the coast of egypt. officials said debris was found 230 miles south of the greek isle of crete. >> the plane swerved violently and plunged before it fell off radar. cbs news aviation and captain sully sullenberger standing by. first mark phillip at charles de gaulle airport outside of paris. mark, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, the ritual of tragedy i'm afraid is being repeated again in paris and cairo. this crash, as we know now, has

taken place and egyptian ministry of aviation said the most likely cause is, in fact, terrorism. the bulk of the victims are egyptian and french. egyptair 804 left on time and regular route through the mediterranean, egypt and cairo. it last checked in with air traffic control while cruising at 37,000 feet in greek airspace. but as the plane was about to enter the egyptian controlled area over the mediterranean, radar images showed the plane went into a series of violent turns. first 90 degrees one way, then a full 360 degree circle the other while dropping precipitously. there was no further contact and the plane disappeared from the radar screen. egyptair said an emergency signal may have been sent from a beacon on board the plane. there were no weather issues at

the time. of the 66 people on board a-320, "among the missing three children, two infants. both pilots were very experienced with more than 9,000 flying hours between them. as families gathered in paris and cairo, a search had begun by air and by sea. some debris has reportedly been seen. ultimately hoped plane's flight data recorders, if found on the seabed, may provide clues to what caused this crash. if it was a bomb, it could have been planted not just in paris but turkey or tunisia where the plane had recently been. transportation safety analyst and chairman of the ntsb -- >> anything and everything is possible here. it could be a catastrophic accident. it could be a terrorism event. >> reporter: the first suspicion in these cases is always

terrorism in these times, and that suspicion is apparently shared both in paris and in cairo. the search is now under way for debris and especially for the flight data recorders, the black boxes, which above all will tell us exactly what happened. charlie. >> thanks, mark. mark phillips outside paris. captain sully sullenberger cbs news aviation and safety expert joins us from reno, nevada. sully, good morning. >> good morning again. >> take into account what egyptian minister said, the possibility of a terror attack as a cause is stronger than technical failure. what do we know that would lead him to say that. >> i wonder what he knows that would lead him to say that. absent information he has t we don't, it seems like every possibility should be on the table. it would only be after evidence is found that investigators would begin to narrow their focus. they will be looking at when

more airplane debris is found and specifically identified to be part of this airplane or when the recorders are found and analyzed we'll begin to answer all the many questions that are in this case. investigators have a lot of tools. one of the things they can do when they find the airplane is see if there's soot on it, expanded with a fire or torn apart for some other reason. they will see if it reached the surface intact organ to come apart in the air. >> the thing frightening, a series of violent turns. i can only think about those poor passengers sitting in their seats realizing the plane is going this way and that way very violently. what can cause that if it isn't somebody at the controls? anything else in your mind that can explain that? you know this plane very well. >> i do. there are a number of things that might cause what seems to have been a lack of control or loss of control.

there might have been a catastrophic event. there might have been a sudden emergency. again, at this point it's hard to know what might have caused these turns. it's also important to know depending on what type of radar was observing these maneuver, sometimes the update rates are only as slow as every five seconds. some more regional radars might update more often than that. these would be a series of snapshots of where the plane was at a certain number of seconds and not a continuous tape of exactly everything -- every movement made. so that coupled with the recorders would be a real important clue about what happened to this airplane and caused it to go off course. >> egyptair has had some safety and security concerns in the past. what do you make of that? >> you know, the international aviation authorities do audits for all the world's airlines.

egyptair in the last audit rated above average in a few areas but below average in most areas of their entire aviation organization and procedures. so they have had have issues in the past. we'll be interested to see when the investigation is more complete, as they look at all these factors, what areas need improvement the most. >> thank you, captain sully sullenberger. as you point out so early in the investigation, there's still a lot of questions that need to be answered. thank you, sir, for joining us this morning. >> good to be with you. >> thank you. flight 804 just entered egyptian airspace when it vanished. earlier this year man with fake explosives hijacked egyptair flight to cypress. no one was hurt. an explosion brought down a russian jetliner over sinai peninsula after it took off from the egyptian airport. 224 people were killed there. isis claimed responsibility for that one. jeff pegues is in washington with concerns about egypt's aviation safety.

jeff, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. u.s. law enforcement sources say fbi will offer assistance to investigators in this incident. its evidence response teams are among the best on the planet. while details are still unclear, the reality is egypt and its flag carrier, egyptair have had a checkered air travel safety record. the two most recent incidents in particular have called the country's transportation security into question. when egyptair 181 was hijacked in march, many assumed the motive of mustafa was terrorism. claiming to be wearing an explosive vest, the 59-year-old demanded domestic cairo-bound flight divert. on the tarmac, it was discovered his interests were personal. he was arrested and no one was hurt. it renewed safety concerns following the crash of a metro jet flight in okay. the russian passenger plane disintegrated over sinai desert

after reporting from sharm el sheikh en route to st. petersburg. all 250 on board were killed. isis soon claimed responsibility for the apparent bomb attack. in 1985, one of the deadliest hijackings in history was on egyptair flight 648 after departing athens for cairo, heavily armed terrorists describing themselves as egypt's revolution forced the plane to land in malta. on the ground egyptian troops raided the aircraft in a move that has since been criticized. at least 58 people on board were killed. fourteen years later egyptair flight 990 crashed off the coast of nantucket shortly after taking off from new york. all 217 people on board died. national transportation safety board indicated the pilot brought down the plane intentionally, something egyptian authorities disputed, instead claiming mechanical

error. egypt says it will investigate the cause of last night's incident and will be joined by french authorities and the plane's manufacturer airbus. there is likely an examination of air safety at airports. norah. >> jeff, thank you so much. we'll continue to bring you updates. coverage continues all day on 24 hour streaming network. now to the presidential race and growing anger between bernie sanders and democratic party leaders. sanders campaign accuses the party chairwoman of favoritism towards hillary clinton. both sides say the other is lying about a disputed nevada convention that ended in chaos. nancy cordes looked how powerful democrats are putting pressure on sanders but he is not backing down. nancy, good morning. >> good morning. sanders told cbs news he is furious that democratic officials would accuse him and his campaign of promoting violen violence. now they are backing off. they are worried about protests

but know a protracted conflict with the candidate may encourage more unrest. >> that is a lie, an outrage. >> reporter: sanders says party leaders should be ashamed for claiming he encouraged supporters to disrupt the nevada party convention. because they were upset about the rules. >> i condemn all forms of violence and personal harassment. but i also condemn democratic leadership in any way, that is what our campaign is about, that we're tinged with violence, we're going to take violence to the democratic national committee. >> reporter: he got some back-up from vice president joe biden who was asked about the incident on a trip to ohio. >> that's not bernie. what bernie is going to have to do if that happens again, he's going to have to be more aggressive speaking out about it. >> reporter: sanders has gotten the same message from several other senate colleagues. >> the crowd was out of control. >> including senator barbara

boxer who got caught in the chaos. >> when you boo me, you're booing bernie sanders. go ahead. >> reporter: do you think he's done enough to make sure it doesn't happen again? >> i hope behind the scenes he's telling people to be respectful. >> reporter: some of the 1968 democratic convention when vietnam war demonstrators erupted into the streets of chicago after the nomination of hubert humphrey. >> i don't want to go back to the '68 convention, because i worry about what it does to the electorate as a whole and he should, too. >> some sanders supporters have begun posting plans to occupy dnc convention in july, something the party share is eager to prevent. >> everybody needs to take a step back and a deep breath. we have to make sure we can do everything we can to maximize the likelihood of being unified. >> she initially called sanders reaction to nevada completely inadequate and said he put fuel

on the fire. but now she says she is ready to turn the page. sanders has accepted an invitation from fox to debate clinton in california, but, gayle, dnc officials tell us the debate and its host are still being negotiated. there's no guarantee it will happen at all. >> thank you, nancy. a new poll finds donald trump is leading hillary clinton by three points in a november election matchup. the same poll last month showed hillary clinton with a seven-point lead. major garrett looks at trump targeting both clinton while reaching out to other republicans. major, good morning. >> good morning. connecting the dots in trump's daily campaign activities can be, well, a challenge. foreign policy tutoring with henry kissinger, the release of the list of conservatives trump might put on the supreme court, followed by yet another social media sizzler about bill clinton's sordid past. >> if hillary clinton for some reason wins, your country will never be the same. >> reporter: in an interview

wednesday donald trump previewed a potential general election attack rehashing accusations made against former president bill clinton. >> in one case it's about exposure. in another case about groping and fondling and touching against a woman's will. >> and rape. >> and rape. >> and settlements. >> reporter: known for being an attack dog, trump is trying to change the perception his policies are not conservative enough. >> i have a lot of people that are conservative that really like me and love everything i stand for. >> reporter: as part of that effort trump released names of 11 supreme court candidates he said were in the mold of late conservative icon justice antonin scalia. >> what i thought i would do is put this forward. this would be the list i would choose from or pick people very close. >> reporter: one person on the list texas don willett, mocked presumptive nominee on twitter, even floating idea trump might be a liberal in disguise and would rip off his face and

reveal a laughing ruth bader ginsberg. met henry kissinger seeking foreign policy advice. but republicans like senator jeff flake aren't convinced trump's policies will stay consistent. >> it's a good sign he's sitting down with foreign policy experts, whether that will stick or have the same position as now, we don't onknow. >> reporter: after much internal debate he picked famous and infamous for leading the effort to put sarah palin on the ticket in 2008. >> major garrett, thank you so much. news political director and "face the nation" moderator john dickerson is here. john, good morning. >> good morning, norah. >> now we're talking about violence at the democratic convention like 1968. is senator feinstein floating this. >> the party flipped, supposed to be the republican convention. i think 1968 that's a little

hot. bernie sanders is saying, wait a minute, stop talking about that kind of violence. you're trying to mischaracterize legitimate complaints about the party. 1968 there was vietnam war, protesters hit in the streets. that was part of the what the violence is about. i think 1980 is a more interesting parallel in the democratic party. you had ted kennedy, carter had the delegate, going to the nomination, locked up but kennedy kept fighting anyway. he had a meeting with carter and said let's have one last debate, same way bernie sanders is calling for debate now. carter didn't want to do it. kennedy took it all the way to the convention and ended up being the liberal hero coming out of the that convention. can you imagine bernie sanders taking the same route. >> here is "new york times," sanders willing to harm clinton in homestretch. >> here is the harm. the harm is you have these fights we're having right now, which take all the attention away from clinton's desire to turn the conversation to a fight about donald trump. it also exacerbates an underlying weakness of the clinton campaign because it continues to kind of dog her, makes her seem like a person who

can't put the race away. we'll see what happens in new jersey and california where she's likely to do well. we may not be having the conversation next week. if he's going to take it to the convention, keeps dogging her while she's trying to make the conversation about donald trump problems. >> you think it would be clear democratic leaders suggest violence that may or may not occur. what does this do to the party? we were laughing but not laughing saying republicans don't have it together and now democrats seem a hot mess. >> find something to unify around it. if they are having fights all the time, it's hard to talk beauty unity. >> all right. thank you very much. tsa struggles to find the right balance between speed and security. ahead how congress could get involved and shrinking long wait

welcome back to "cbs this morning." we're getting new information on the egyptair passenger jet that crashed with 66 people on board. officials say flight 804 from paris to cairo went down overnight in the mediterranean just after crossing into egyptian airspace. >> a greek official said debris thought to be from the flame was spotted near a greek island. flight 804 plunged suddenly before dropping off radar. egypt's prime minister said terrorism cannot be ruled out as a cause. mark phillips is at charles de gaulle airport near paris. mark, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, the exact cause of this air crash, of course, is not known yet but certain bits of

evidence are beginning to emerge that detail the last desperate minutes of this flight. let's take it back to the beginning. the flight left paris at 11:00 last night. it's been in the air alt over two hours over greek airspace, had been in contact with greek traffic control. at that point greek military radar says the plane took a couple of violent turns, turning 90 degrees in one direction at one point and immediately 360 complete turn in the other direction. all this time dropping precipitously from cruising altitude down to about 10,000 feet where it disappeared off the radar. families have gathered -- have been gathering both in paris and cairo looking for news. they now know the news is bad. we also know here enparis and cairo, government sources including ministerial level are saying they believe the primary or most likely cause of this is

terrorism. >> mark phillips, thank you so much. the investigation into what happened put a new spotlight on airport security. stepped up screening is one of the things blamed for gridlock across the country. kris van cleave is there as tsa officials prepare to face reporters today. kris, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, the tsa has about 42,000 screeners an now there are many saying that is simply not enough. the agency says last year less than 2% of travelers spent more than 20 minutes in line. the experience here at midway can be very, very different. never ending lines, thousands of missed flights and passengers forced to sleep on cots, all caused by delayed security lines at chicago's busiest airport. lawmakers on capitol hill are now asking congress to intervene. >> people are missing their flights. the airlines are losing a lot of money. this an economic crisis as well as a passenger crisis that we believe congress needs to step in and fix. >> on wednesday, american

airlines agreed to spend $4 million on additional staffing to take some of the load off tsa. there were also calls for chicago midway international airport and o'hare international airport to hire private screeners. >> privatizing would be huge efficiency and make it safer and easier for passengers. >> reporter: so how did this mess happen? it started with a surge of flyers and now a record number of travelers are expected this summer. an additional 95,900 a day compared to last year. but since 2011, tsa has lost funding and shed thousands of screener jobs. the officers union says there are 5,000 fewer officers now than 2013. >> they are losing people and not replacing them at the same time they have a huge spike in travel. >> reporter: after a series of terror attacks overseas and screeners failing 95% of tests during 2013 investigation, peter

neffenger ordered increased security at checkpoints. >> since it was created, that has been a problem for them, speed versus security and trying to get that right balance. >> reporter: last week congress authorized tsa to pay $34 million in overtime and hire 800 additional screeners by mid june. southwest airlines ceo gary kelly. >> i do believe that the administrator has a good plan but it's going to take a while to execute. >> this isn't even the end of the line. people still have to go through security before they can get to their gates. another factor in all this is tsa precheck. the agency had banged on the success of this expedited screening for prevetted travelers to offset some of the job cuts. instead, lagged by the millions. next week tsa neffenger expected back on capitol hill. you can expect he's going to face very tough questions. >> kris, thanks. time to show you other

new developments on two professional climbers documenting their journey up mt. everest on snapchat. adrian ballinger and cory richards left base camp to begin a six-day climb to the top. in an interview you'll see only on "cbs this morning" they show us their plans for the summit. dana jacobson is here with how they survived a dangerous night on the morning. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. when we last checked in with professional climbers adrian ballinger and cory richards, they had just been hit by a monster storm on the north side of mt. everest. while they were unharmed, it's a stark reminder how dangerous

this mountain is, particularly for two men climbing without the help of extra oxygen. when adrian ballinger and cory richards face a brutal storm, with winds approaching 50 miles per hour. >> we just dug it out. >> reporter: their bodies were already depleted from climbing to 25,000 feet where the air is thin. >> your body is literally starved of oxygen. so everything you do makes you out of breath. >> we made the decision this kind of weather, no break, we've got to go down. >> we were battered the next morning. what you're seeing in the photographs and sort of the snaps is just pure oxygen. >> we just got our -- handed to us. >> if i was thinking anything in that moment, i wish i had become like a beach bum career instead of high-altitude mountain

climber. >> reporter: ballinger has led over 100 climbing expeditions on five continents as owner of expedition while richards named adventurer of the year. both part of eddie bauer mountain team. >> these mountains break us. we figure out if we can achieve beyond that. that's what i love about this. >> here we go again. >> until the very next day we won't back up. the weather looked good. we felt okay. we went as high as we possibly could on the mountain. >> in order to eventually climb without oxygen to the top of mt. everest at 29,000 feet they have to adjust slowly. they do this by climbing in stages with rests at lower elevations in between to let their bodies recover. >> we just go climbing. >> reporter: just one day after the storm they pushed over

time for a traffic update from the "kcbs traffic center." getting busy in the south bay

of the let's take a close look. not one but two separate accidents here from 101 northbound. the first as you see up there, at mckee road the second farther along right past the guadalupe parkway getting really slow. still slow here for the nimitz freeway. the stall is gone northbound and so is the accident at decoto but we're still back up all over the east bay. slow on the approach to both the san mateo bridge and dumbarton bridge. look at your drive time, over 31 minutes here. roberta? >> i want to go back to san jose because about 30 minutes ago i was showing you no sunshine. now the clouds are beginning to break up. but overall today we'll call it partly cloudy skies and it's a cooler start to your day plus it's breezy. the winds currently in san jose are under 10 but up to 14 miles per hour in oakland. later today west-northwest winds 20 to 30 miles per hour by the evening commute. much cooler down from 95 to 75 in concord. additional cooling friday. rain saturday. ,,,,,,,,

good morning to our viewers in the west. it is thursday may 19th, 2016. welcome to "cbs this morning." there's more news, reports of debris spotted. we learned the plane dropped violently. first today's eye-opener at 8:00. >> the crash has taken place. egyptian ministry of aviation says the most likely cause is terrorist. >> absent information he has we don't, it seems like every possibility should be on the table. >> details unclear.

the reality is egyptair has a checkered travel safety record. >> sanders is furious democratic officials would accuse him of promoting violence. now they are backing off. >> what's this doing to the democratic party. we were all saying republicans don't have it together, now democrats seem to be a hot mess. >> the problem is they have to find something to unify around it. if they are having fights all the time it's hard to talk about unity. >> connecting dots in daily campaign activities can be kind of a challenge. foreign policy tutoring followed by yet another social media sizzler about bill clinton. >> ballinger and richards uploading climbing data every day. while they are making the final push you can check in on how their bodies are holding up. >> my goodness, did it again. for the second time this year, the sox turn a triple play. unreal. i'm charlie rose with gayle

king and norah o'donnell. found in mediterranean sea, the debris includes two life vests. greece's defense minister says the plane was flying at 37,000 feet when it suddenly dropped. the plane spun sharply and plunged more than 20,000 feet and then disappeared from radar. >> 66 people on board the plane, 56 passengers, 10 crew and 3 security personnel. most were egyptian and french but there was one canadian passengers. this marine traffic animation showed how ships rushed to the area to take part in the search. law enforcement sources say fbi will offer assistance in the investigation. mark fingertip ips is at the charles de gaulle airport near paris. mark, good morning. >> good morning. well, crash investigators will now be heading for the scene while the search is under way and a couple of pieces of debris have been found. but the evidence thus far, according to ministers in paris

and cairo is that their first thoughts go to terrorist cause for this. this flight left here at 11:00 last night. it was normal as it flew across europe and across greece heading across the mediterranean toward cairo. the greeks say their defense radar shows the plane took two drastic maneuvers while cruising at 37,000 feet. first swinging violently one direction 90 degrees and then doing a complete 360 degree circle, dropping precipitously throughout that from its cruising altitude down to below 10,000 feet where it finally fell off of the radar. relatives of the families had gathered waiting for news now that they know the news is bad. here in paris president hollande said his mind turned to terrorism. in cairo, aviation ministry says that's their thinking at this time, too. >> mark phillips outside paris. thank you so much.

egypt and its flagship carrier have a checkered recent safety schedule, a man wearing a vest hijacked a plane, diverted to vip rece. he was later arrested and no one was hurt. in october an apparent bomb brought down russian passenger plane over sinai desert after the plane took off from an egyptian resort. all 224 people on gorboard were killed. at the time they said no evidence of a bomb but u.s. intelligence officials leaned toward a bomb theory which later and accurate. >> former ntsb and cbs aviation expert joins us. good morning. >> good morning. >> these latest details are horrifying. i can't imagine what it was like on that plane. if it was not an explosion, what could cause the plane to drop like that. >> there are a lot of things that could cause a problem like that. too many to list right now. again, the descriptions we have to actually take a look at exactly what the performance of this aircraft was doing at that

moment and could it have been pilot issues, could it have been mechanical failure, could it have been a bomb. all of these things will be revealed when we're finally able to find the aircraft itself, recover the black boxes, the voice data recorder and flight data recorder. together they will reveal pretty much everything we need to know. >> mark, did you have any thoughts when you heard this was an egypt airplane? >> the investigators are going to have to look at the security history of egyptair, the safety history of egyptair, the maintenance history of egyptair and frankly the pilot training of egyptair. all those things are going to be very important in this investigation. >> mark, you may have sources that we don't sitting at the table. any evidence of a distress signal? >> there's a lot of misinformation that has come out already, but that's not unusual, charlie, given information early in accidents are rarely what we end up having to put a great deal of credibility to. >> other than finding the plane,

what is the first thing investigators need to do? >> well, the most important thing we can find at this time, of course, is any evidence, meaning any of the debris from the aircraft and mostly we're looking for those cockpit voice recorders. accidents are never really one thing. they are a chain of events, which all together create a catastrophic ending. >> we had captain sully sullenberger here in the last hour and he was saying when you're at 37,000 feet, it's normally a very calm time for the aircraft. what does this say to you that it happened then? >> sully is absolutely right. only 10% of the fatal accidents that are operating in commercial airspace occur at that time. 60% of them are really in the descent and landing portion of the trip and 22% are in takeoff. so this is a very safe position to be in, 37,000 feet at cruise and that's level altitude. >> are you concerned about

terrorism? >> certainly that's something that's going to have to be put into the mix. nothing will be discarded until we begin to actually bring up evidence and begin the analysis of what we're finding. >> is there anything else that should be done in terms of being able to provide some kind of information when a plane is in trouble? >> actually, charlie, there are things that can be done. i happen to be on the board of directors of a company that provides continuous streaming. that's something which, in fact, needs to be done. the airlines need to implement these kinds of things. we would actually have a great deal of information already had this airplane been equipped with the ability to stream its flight data and positioning. >> all right, really important information. thank you so much. >> any time. >> coverage of egyptair flight continues all day on 24 hour streaming network, cbsn. >> i keep thinking about that plane. we go to bed and wake up and it's a terrible day.

i think about families we were talking about waiting for word. >> all of a sudden their life dramatically changed. >> the news, not good what happened there. vice president joe biden writes a note to his younger ,,

here's an update from the "kcbs traffic center." as this commute is really heating up through the south bay and the east bay, these are earlier occurring accidents on 101 northbound at mckee and at the guadalupe parkway. and both are in the clearing stages. but leaving heavy traffic, look at the 101 drive time at 37 minutes. and as we mentioned that 280 drive northbound would creep up to about 30 minutes and now it's at 31 minutes for the northbound drive. here's 580 through oakland, san

leandro, jammed up with accidents westbound 580 at 150th. we are still look at residual slowing on the nimitz between the dumbarton and san mateo bridges as well as heavy traffic on the approach to both. here's a look at the weather. >> hey, thanks, george. and good morning, everybody. take a look at the sky. this is your forecast for today partly cloudy skies. right now temperatures are in the 50s from santa rosa to livermore. we will have some pretty breezy conditions today and much cooler, for example, concord yesterday was 95. today 75 degrees. yes, that's seasonal but 20 degrees cooler 70s and 60s today. 79 degrees in one of the warmest locations. west-northwest winds 20 to 30 miles per hour. so pretty blustery day. cloudy tonight. that will set the stage for partly cloudy skies on friday additional cooling, a chance of a shower or thunderstorm on saturday. ,,,,,,,,

don't we need a nice moment? yeah, we do. good morning, state college, pennsylvania. we're enjoying shots from your instagram followers. here's a photo if ipswich, massachusetts. the sky was painted in pink and purple. and let's go across the pond on over to norway. you posted a photo -- it's a misty morning there. that true. misty morning there. post photos with the hash tag #sunrisethis theirmorni #sunrisethismorning. i like pinks and blues and lavender and yellow. mist is nice, too. >> isn't it nice to hear when gayle thinks of all the photos. >> did i say it out loud? it was very beautiful. please don't write me. >> we're live on the show.

>> okay. i'm moving on. welcome back to "cbs this morning" -- i love misty mornings. welcome back to "cbs this morning." coming up in this half hour, the argument between bernie sanders and top democrats telling him control to control his rowdy supporters. we'll talk about it with a key hillary clinton supporter, claire mccaskill, she's standing by. and how clinton can deal with donald trump's attacks against president bill clinton. sorry -- sorry. if you're running low on post-it notes, check the nearest window. inside a battle for bragging rights that's become an internet sensati sensation. now it's time to show the headlines. bloomberg says china's government floods social media with fake posts. a harvard-led study looked at the propaganda workers known as the fifty cent party. they post comments on social media. researchers say the government fabricates about 488 million comments a year. the post judith was an approximately

four-ton plant eater that roamed the worth 76 years ago. >> i want to see what's in there -- >> i wasn't sure how to pronounce it -- >> and the other sign -- >> you're right. bernie sanders says any suggestion his campaign supports violence is ridiculous. some hillary clinton backers are blasting sanders after his supporters disrupted a democratic convention in nevada.

>> i condemn violence of all sort, but i resent very much for any democratic leader to suggest in any way that the sanders campaign and millions of our supporters push violence. that is a lie. that is an outrage. and i hope that that statement will not be made again. >> senator claire mccaskill was an early supporter of the clinton campaign and has criticized bernie sanders in the past for attacking hillary clinton. good morning. >> good morning. >> does senator sanders have a point that he has unfairly accused of promoting -- has been unfairly accused of promoting violence? >> i kind of agree with bern oh this. i think nevada was an aberration. i think that the millions of bernie sanders supporters are not people who want to resort to harassment and threats and throwing chairs. i do believe this was an outlier because i think the millions of

people who support him are passionate and inspired by the message bernie is delivering. that doesn't, however, change the facts or, unfortunately, for the bernie campaign, the math. the math is pretty unforgiving at this point. i'll be glad when we can finally unite behind the issues that i know he cares so deeply it. >> yeah, we've heard you say that you think there something behind the scenes? right now, it looks a little dicey. >> well, i think the thing to remember is that bernie began this because he cared deeply about the issues. i think bernie would be the firefighter tell you, it's not about bern -- first to tell you, it's not about bernie. it's about changing things in this country for struggling folks. and because of that, i have to know that when the math is final, bernie has to look at a potential president trump and go uh-oh, we've got to get busy and make sure that we never let

donald trump, the reality tv star that is reckless and risky and is an anathema to the things we believe in, we can never let him set foot in the oval office. i'm confident bernie will be there when the time comes. >> your colleague, senator dianne feinstein, is talking about 1968. i mean, comparing that the democrat could have a similar convention. is that similar high bushil lbu -- high bushily? >> i think bernie sanders is resenting that he has to stop because the math is so difficult for him. i think he wants to finish the process. i respect that. and i think all of us respect that. so i really think we need to let everyone vote, then count the pledge delegates, and lead off in states he didn't win. i not the only thing i would campaign about in the campaign is saying the process is rigged and somehow closed to voters. where bernie sanders has done well is caucuses, and they are

closed. you can't go if you're working. you can't absentee vote. you can't mail in your ballot. it is a very closed process. that's the majority of the states he's won is the most closed process of all. >> bottom line, hillary clinton cannot win a general election without the supporters of bernie sanders. >> no question. we need bernie and his supporters. most importantly, we need to unite behind these issues. it's the supreme court. it's whether or not we're going to have religious toast get into the country. it's whether or not we'll have a guy that can't decide between noon and 3:00 what he believes in with the nuclear codes. that's what this is about in november. the sooner we can hyperfocus on that, the better off we'll be. >> shouldn't the parties be taking a more friendly stance to senator sanders rather than criticizing him? >> i think people got very upset about what happened in nevada. when barbara boxer, an icon in the progressive movement, is

called vulgar names and booed off the stage and feels threatened and harassed, i think it got a lot of people upset. passions are high. everyone is tired, it's been an emotional campaign. we've had 13 million votes cast for hillary clinton and ten million for bernie sanders. it's time the 23 million come together and convince the rest of the country to follow suit. >> senator, always good to see you. thank you for joining us. >> thanks, guys. post-it notes are finding new purposes this morning in an ongoing war between ad agencies. employees are turning the office stationery into artwork in the windows. the competing designs have spawned the hash tags postitwars and canalnotes. we have more from anna werner and how this began. >> reporter: gorge, as you look through this window, you're seeing one of the salvos fired

in this post-if t war. a battle -- post-it war. a battle over creativity, and these are the weapons. >> our spider-man was up before the other spider-man. >> reporter: high above the streets of old new york city, a war is being waged. the ammunition -- inventive. the strategy, calculating. and the effort, exhausting. are you eating and sleeping or just -- >> barely. this has gotten big. >> reporter: christina is the editorial manager for the advertising agency biolumina. one of the firms entrenched in the post-it note war of attrition. >> a lot of work goes into what details we need to figure out. and what colors we have on hand. then we execute. >> reporter: you're serious about this. >> we are pretty serious about it, yes. >> reporter: the first shot was fired last week. a simple "hi" constructed out of the classic three inch by three-inch stationery supply and snowballing into a competitive

and public display of artistic expression. admit it, you're out to win. >> yes, i am out to win. i'll admit. yes. >> reporter: just the street, alana and lecia are part of a team trying to stick it to their rivals. what it was about your creative vision that led you to batman? >> i wanted to win. batman is large. it takes six windows on my floor. >> there's no sign -- we have communicated with the other building. >> reporter: you're communicating with the enemy? >> we are. it's a friendly competition, i think. i hope. >> reporter: post-it notemaker 3m is staying neutral, sending supply kits to a number of firms on both sides. are you concerned about draining the creative energies that you need to generate great advertising? >> actually, the opposite. i think it's inspired us to be more creative in our day-to-day

work. i think it's helping us along. >> reporter: it's also helping foster friendship in the workplace. among people who would have likely never crossed paths. >> it did bring a lot of us together. we would go from floor to floor. everyone would go, what are you do, what are you doing? you start to help each other. >> reporter: of course, since we were coming this morning, they were kind enough to make us a cbs eye in classic yellow post-it notes, of course. how appropriate. all of this cannot go on forever. the owner says the war must end by may 31st because they don't want post-its on their window for the next year. >> debbie downer. so much fun. hard to pick a team until they put up the cbs. then i go, i like that team. hard to pick. they're both very good. fun. >> great. >> great stair. thank you. more seniors may be finding help for pain relief from pot. oh, no. coming up next, we're going take you inside a dispensary where
