let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." in a historic move, president obama has lifted an arms embargo on vietnam. the president announced the move overnight at a meeting with vietnam's president in hanoi. the embargo has been in effect since the vietnam war. >> the two leaders put on a show of solidarity in the face of growing tension with china. margaret brennan is traveling with the president in hanoi. margaret, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. president obama is here to build stronger economic and security ties with vietnam. that decision to lift the arms embargo is aimed at sending a message to china that the u.s. will not let it militarily dominate asia. with a warm welcome from vietnam's communist government, president obama tried to put to rest the ghosts of the brutal war with the u.s. that killed

tens of thousands of people from both countries. >> just a generation ago we were adversaries and now we are friends. should give us hope. >> reporter: the vietnamese are eager to build ties with their cold war era foe in large part because of the threat posed by militarily aggressive china, which is seizing territory in both the east and south china seas. in an effort to stop that land grab, president obama made the decision to sell vietnam american-made weapons, removing a ban that's been in place for over four decades. a controversial decision since vietnam is controlled by an authoritarian regime. >> but this change will ensure vietnam has access to the equipment it needs to defend itself and removes a lingering vestige of the cold war. >> reporter: in exchange vietnam will give us us ships more access to its ports. mr. obama's next stop on the trip will be to another former enemy, japan. he'll make a historic trip to

the city of hiroshima -- the first sitting president to do o so. that city was decimated in 1945 when the u.s. dropped the very first atomic bomb during world war ii. more than 100,000 died. president obama told japanese television that he will not apologize. >> because i think that it's important to recognize that in the midst of war, leaders make all kinds of decisions. >> reporter: now the white house says the president will not revisit the decision to drop the bomb, but he will say, norah, that it gives america the unique responsibility of making sure that a nuclear weapon is never used again. >> all right, margaret brennan in hanoi, thank you so much. new polls show the race for the white house has dramatically tightened. in are march and april hillary clinton had a big lead in a head-to-head match with donald trump. that advantage has evaporated. one poll shows her losing to donald trump.

another shows her ahead by just three points. near ly half the voters say the want to consider a third-party option in november. nancy cordes has a closer look at the changing race. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, clinton says she doesn't pay attention to the polls, but clearly her campaign is feeling some pressure to begin focusing on her general election candidate as she and her husband unveiled some new attacks on trump. >> make america great again really means, hey, i'll make it the way it used to be. you will be better off. and if you're not, at least you'll have somebody else to look down on. that is a dumb idea. it will not work. >> reporter: campaigning in california, bill clinton mocked donald trump's slogan -- make america great again. previewing one of his wife's key strategies. >> we're not going to let, at least my campaign, is not going to let donald trump try to normalize himself. >> reporter: new cbs battleground polling shows voters think clinton is far more

prepared than trump to be commander in chief. but they said trump is far more li likely to tell it like it is. they were more likely to say he is too extreme. clinton may be ready to focus on trump but sanders reminded his supporters sunday that polls show he would be the stronger challenger. >> if we win the nomination, i assure you, donald trump will not become president. >> reporter: clinton argued sanders only polls better because he hasn't been subjected to republican attacks the way she has. >> i don't think he's had a single negative ad run against him. >> reporter: campaigning in california and in interviews sanders continues to lump clinton in with trump. >> i don't want to see the american people voting for the lesser of two evils. this campaign -- >> reporter: sanders, who only recently became a democrat, has repeatedly clashed with the party's chair, congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz. this weekend he began raising money for her florida primary opponent.

>> i've known debber for many years. personally, i like her. do i think she's the kind of chair the democratic party needs? no, i don't. >> reporter: he has long argued she favors clinton over him while criticized him just last week for not doing enough to calm unruly supporters in nevada. in that fund-raising e-mail, charlie, that his campaign put out last night, they pointedly said that electing her progressive opponent will send an unmistakable message to the democratic party. >> nancy, thanks. gun rights is the newest issue dividing donald trump and hillary clinton. trump picked up the national rifle association's endorsement over the weekend. clinton spoke to a group of mothers who lost children to gun violence. chip reid looks at how both candidates have changed positions on the issue. chip, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. both trump and clinton think they can win on the issue of guns and over the weekend the second amendment became one of the first topics to get the candidates to engage each other in what could be a preview of a general election campaign fight.

>> ladies and gentlemen, the next president of the united states, donald trump! >> reporter: when donald trump accepted the endorsement of the national rifle association, he wasted no time firing shots at hillary clinton. >> hillary clinton wants to abolish the second amendment. just remember that. >> reporter: lyclinton certainl hasn't proposed getting rid of the right to bear arms, but her campaign is seizing on trump's past position on guns in schools. >> i will get rid of gun-free zones on schools. my first day it gets signed, okay? >> that eidea isn't just way ou there, it's dangerous. >> reporter: at an event clinton fired back. >> parents, teachers, and schools should have the right to keep guns out of classrooms. just like donald trump does at many of his hotels, by the way. >> reporter: trump tweeted clinton was wrong regarding his position on guns in schools, but

he struggled to clarify sunday. >> i don't want to have guns in classrooms, although in some cases teachers should have guns in the classroom, frankly. >> reporter: the issue is tricky for both campaigns. many democrats say bill clinton's assault weapons bans is one of the reasons they lost big in the 1994 elections, and in 2008 hillary clinton struck a much different pro-gun tone in her presidential run. then-candidate obabarack obama called her out. >> how she values the second amendment, talking like she's annie observiakley. >> reporter: trump hasn't always sided with the nra on gun policies n. 2000 in his book "the america we deserve" trump wrote i support the ban on assault weapons and a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun. two positions he now opposes. "cbs this morning" checked with several hotels and resorts bearing the trump name. some claimed to be gun-free throw zones while others allow guests to carry a firearm with the proper permits. norah? >> chip, thank you so much. isis claims responsibility for several deadly bomb attacks

that's been safe enough that on our last visit we found syrians on the beach convinced that they were secure enough to forget at least for a while their country is at war. well, not anymore. these isis bombings also send a very provocative message to president putin. the russians have two military bases in this area which they've been using to support the syrian army in its battle against the various rebel groups. gayle? >> thank you, elizabeth. iraq's military is attempt iingo take the city of fallujah back from isis this morning. the terror group controlled the city west of baghdad for more than two years now. iraq's prime minister announced the new offensive last night. his government has told residents to get out. our david martin reports up to 1,000 isis fighters in fallujah compared to more than 20,000 iraqi forces. u.s. advisers will not go forward with the troops. president obama confirmed this morning an american drone

the first audio recording to be released from the plane's flight deck is a standard check-in between the pilot and air traffic control over zurich and switzerland. >> reporter: around 2 1/2 hours later, the plane began to move erratically and then plummeted, disappearing off radar screens and plunging into the water. the certificasearch area is aro miles north of the egyptian coastline where the american team spotted wreckage from the plane and the egyptian military retrieved debris from the crash. data published by an aviation industry website shows automated transmission from the plane in the minutes before it crashed indicating there was smoke

onboard, though experts say the smoke alarms could also have been triggered by a sudden loss of pressure. alistair rosen stein is a former pilot with british airways. >> multifailures mann they're in serious trouble and that is not a normal situation. it could be caused by an explosion or by a fire. >> reporter: no possible cause has been ruled out at this stage including terrorism. though u.s. investigators have told us that so far there's been no credible claim of responsibility. gayle? >> holly williams in egypt reporting. thank you. a man suspected of killing a massachusetts police officer is dead this morning after a shoot-out. police say that jorge zambrano opened fire. a state trooper was injured. he was wanted in the shooting of officer tarantino. he was killed early sunday during a traffic stop an hour west of boston. breaking news on deflate gate this morning. patriots quarterback tom brady will appeal his four-game

business people, especially really successful business people who are really successful as opposed to pretend

successful, i vng a lot to offer. >> in a weekend interview, hillary clinton said the only way to know whether donald trump is really successful is if he reveals his tax returns. "forbes" magazine estimates trump is worth $4.5 billion. trump's latest financial disclosure filed last week says he's worth more than $10 billion. julianna goldman shows how trump responded to another direct challenge over his assets. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. in 2005, "new york times" reporter tim o'brien claimed in a book called "trump nation" that donald trump was worth at best $250 million when trump and others said he was a billionaire. trump sued the reporter for over $2 billion, but the lawsuit opened him up to a close scrutiny of his finances. when he filed the 2006 claim, donald trump claimed a major part of his success was based on the accurate perception by the community and public that he's a billionaire. during a two-day deposition he was called out for exaggerating

his wealth like when trump told larry king he was paid $1 million for a speech to the learning annex. >> i'll be teaching you how to make serious money in real estate. >> reporter: in the deposition, trump conceded the actual payment was $400,000. the rest he attributed to the learning annex's promotional expenses felt during questioning, he acknowledged he didn't fully explain how he came up with the $1 million value, "i don't break it down," he said. >> you have the water. you have the sticks. you have the airline that i sold -- >> reporter: the discrepancies between what trump says his net worth is and what others estimate it to be often rest on the valuation of his brand. over the years, trump's international real estate developments have grown, but many of those buildings are licensed and not owned. in 2014, trump said his brand was worth $3.3 billion. last year, "forbes" magazine listed it at $125 million. behind closed doors, trump conceded property values are often subjective.

"you said at that net worth goes up and down based upon your own feelings?" "yes, even me own feelings as to where the world is going, and that can change rapidly from day to day." in the deposition, the attorney presented estimates of his net worth by two banks where trump had applied for lines of credit. both concluded trump was worth about one-third of the $3.5 billion he claimed in 2005. trump said the numbers were wrong, and the banks did not do an exhaustive search of his assets on. the campaign trail, trump boast this he's not a politician -- boasts that he's not a politician. >> i've never done this before. i've been a politician forrer it months. these guys have been politicians for 30 years in some cases, right. >> reporter: under oath, he said he spends his business like anything. "have you ever lied about your properties?"

>> i'm so good at business. you people are going to be so rich so fast. >> reporter: one area where trump has broken with previous presidential candidates is refusing to release his tax returns which would provide a fuller picture of his wealth and document his income in far greater detail than the financial disclosures he's already released. >> i think that to get a full idea of who he is, those returns are an essential piece. >> reporter: former irs commissioner mark eberson served under president george w. bush. he says trump's excuse doesn't pass muster. >> he doesn't have a tax reason in my opinion to fail to release the seven years that have been audited and cleared. i think this is a political calculation by the candidate not to release returns. >> reporter: a spokesman for trump said the original book wasn't relevant then, and it's not now. he pointed to trump's financial disclosure which cites, "the greatest real estate assets in the world." trump's 2006 lawsuit was dismissed, so he appealed which he lost because the judges

concluded the information that trump gave to the reporter to prove his net worth could not be verified. >> all right. thank you. performance of the national anthem hits all the wrong notes. ahead, a call for a bias investigation. plus, how a journey across the sky came to a dramatic c1 good morning. grab that jacket before you head outside. there will be a lot of gray skies over san francisco. temperatures later this afternoon will be slightly below average with a lot of 60s. places farther inland approaching near 70. 65 the high in san receive -- rafael. a chance of rain tomorrow and then warming up mid week.

unite a country that seems so polarized. >> just like i did as a senator. i have a track record. hillary clinton called for donald trump to release his tax returns to prove that he is as successful as he claims. a group of veterans this morning is protesting trump's fundraising for their cause. reports thousand that mr. trump and his campaign have been lying about the total amount raised for our nation's veterans. before the iowa caucuses, he organized a veteran's fundraiser. we have just raised $6 million. we picked out some amazing veteran's organizations. >> now the washington post asked trump's campaign manager about that event.

he told the paper the fundraiser actually netted about $4.5 million. lewandowski blamed the shortfall acquaintances. the funds had not been distributed. >> i don't know the final numbers, but the number we raised for veterans has been mostly distributed and we're looking for some other really worthy places to distribute, but for the most part it has been distributed. >> cbs news has only verified that just other $2 million went to veteran's organizations. new polls show that bernie sanders fairs better against donald trump in the general election. sanders plans to stay in the race until every vote is cast. but hillary clinton leads him in votes and super delegates. their battle made it to the season finale of saturday night live.

>> good to have you here. >> thank you. >> so these changes are going to make it easier, simpler, and clearer for consumers to make healthy choices. first, you can take your reading classes off because the calories and the serving size will be bolder and in a bigger font so it jumps out at you. the serving size itself has been made more accurate. a serving size of ice cream was a half a cup, now it is two thirds. packaging that has more than one servings in it will have two columns. per serving and per package. they added vitamin d and potassium, and also added sugar. >> here is what i would like to note. what level of all of these things is good for me and what is not? >> yeah, it's the percent daily value you should be paying

attention to. so you can look at the total amount of grams and the percent daily value that you're getting, and you don't want to exceed 100%. >> i think the idea of added sugar, for moms and juice, what is natural sugar and what is added. so sugar is a carbohydrate that is a form of energy your body uses. natural and added sugars are the same, but natural ones come from things like fruits and dairy. with added sugars, you're just getting calories. more than two thirds of americans want to drop their added sugar amount, but we're still getting way more than we should. it should be less than 10% of your total daily calories. most of us get over 13%. >> i want to go back to charlie. i'm still confused. it says total fat, 8 g, 10%. so are we supposed to have 10%

of fat, or that that amount of fat -- >> 10% of the total daily amount that you should be getting. you're allowed a certain amount pday.t in your diet every single but if you eat that amount per serving, you will be getting 10% of your total daily value. >> 10% is what you need? no, of 100%. >> okay, i'm still sitting here going -- >> no, the most poimportant thi i look at is the calories. >> they're all important. >> they're all equally important? >> are they? >> i pay attention to sodium, saturated fat which is not the healthiest form of fat, pay attention to the total calories. people don't have any idea what they're eating on a daily basis. >> how much of my diet should include fat? >> so you're allowed to have a

certain amount of fat every day. it's not so much of the amount as is it the type of fat, you want mono unsaturated fats, no tranc trans fat. >> there are a lot of online trackers, under armor has one too. all of these things can do it for you, they enter in, and they know how much you weigh, how old you are, and a lot of it is very helpful. >> i a weight watchers and under armour. thank you. he said we have to go norah. we go behind the scenes to show us the growing power of podcasting. how it is giving food loving something new to chew on. like country crock's recipe made with real simple ingredients. and no artificial flavors or preservatives. real country fresh taste

hello. >> great to be here. >> are you glad you're here? >> yes, i am. who knows? >> let us know later. >> let's talk about your experimentation with pot and naked selfies. you do recall that incident in the book. >> it's a long book. >> you shared that story why? you wanted us to know what about you? first tell them what happened. >> well, the -- i wanted the book to be authentic, grounded. >> honest. >> i put in stuff most people would edit out. i set up a tripod in college and took a picture of myself. >> naked. >> naked. i was in the booth -- in the bathtub. >> where are the pictures now is. >> lost to the archives of history, i'm sure. we tried to put everything in the book. >> you describe it as a call to action for nerds and geeks. i hear nerds and geeks are

having a good resurgence this time of the day. >> the idea behind the book is i felt i had a story to tell, strange, unpredictable life. when i was growing up, in the book, i had thick glasses, acne. no confidence. my dad died when i was a kid. through the evolution of life, you know, it -- nerds and geeks, that's who i was. if you work hard and have the right attitude and don't quit, in the end, you can play a roemp that's part of -- a role. that's part of what america needs. more people coming in to be mayors and city council members. everyone is frustrated by all forms of government. in their is us. >> this is america, this is politics. trump flies in survey s. that the way you think now? they're pretty much even? >> i don't think so. it's hard to predict these polls this far out.

it's great -- exciting, like it's reading drama. i think in the end -- in the book we talk -- >> that's a snapshot today. where it is today. >> i agree. probably. in terms of how people think. i talk in the book about agnes nixon who was one of my mother's closest friends. wrote amazing soap operas, "as the world turns," "guiding l.a." they would have a wedding and fill up an office with gifts. people take it as reality. i think that what donald trump has been presenting -- like "the apprenticesh apprenticeship," people think it's real life. that's not a vision for america, that's not a plan of how we should be approaching problems. >> it's also nasty, the campaign. you don't like negative campaigning. >> i also group as a skinny kid in elementary school and got bullied. and when someone's a braggart and bully, it makes me on edge because i lived that. i don't think that's the model we want for our kids in this country. obviously, this is my opinion.

i hold it pretty strongly. >> one of the debates going on now is over guns. donald trump has changed his position but just received the endorsement of the national rifle association. he says we should end gun-free zones in schools. you've done a lot in terms of guns in colorado. explain what you talk about in the book. >> in so many ways we tried to get the facts and listen. trying to persuade someone, telling them often what you think makes things worse. by asking questions, things like universal background checks, we got the facts. in 2012, we got half the gun purchases, 38 people convicted of homicide tried to buy a gun, and we stopped them. 133 convicted of sexual assault tried to buy a gun. 1,300 people convicted of felony assault. universal background checks work. you keep guns out of the hand of dangerous people. that shouldn't be partisan. that should be something we can all agree to.

it became a huge battle and a challenge. >> what's the difficulty in explaining on the one hand that certain kinds of guns you don't want people to get. you won't do certain procedures and convincing people you do not want to do away with the second amendment and you do not want to do away with guns? >> to look over the mass shootings we've had over the last 25 years, say, and there's about 35, i think. of those, three-quarters had magazines with more than 15 rounds. that becomes -- we couldn't find a single example of someone ever needing more than 15 rounds to defend their home ever in history. it's a benefit on the shooting range. a large capacity magazine. long term, that's probably -- like when we banned off sawed off shotguns in the 1930s. sometimes we modify our regulations, our well-regulated militias, what the second amendment says, for the overall public good of the country.

>> there's a lot of gun owners and second amendment supporters in colorado. how do they respond to the gun control measures that you signed into state law. >> many were unhappy. especially the magazine one. universal background checks is -- people can accept it more easily. >> so you want to be vp because malcolm glad dps-- gladwell says, "read and reflect on how thoughtful and charming john hickenlooper is and hope to god he runs for president one day," and that your name is being floated as a vp candidate. what say you? >> i have the greatest job in the world. >> everybody says that. >> i think that list is very long, and i'm toward the bottom. that's not a point of contician or really discussion. i look at -- malcolm is a brilliant writer and generous spirit to write such a nice thing. >> he deeply appreciates the dinner you took him to. in a sentence, what ought this
