7:07 am
how now is she going to shift her message? >> i think first of all they have to get past this bernie sanders moment. i think they're pretty optimistic they will, that that'll work out well, and barack in your corner in that front is a good thing. i think the election will essentially come down to the economy. there's a very simple donald trump message, which is, you know, we're losing skre ining y not your fault, i'm going to get them back. she needs a counter to that. i think it's going to be an economic message you'll start seeing as a story in "the journal" indicates today in which she says, i can work for the middle class, i know how to do this. >> how important is this meeting with president obama today? >> i think it's pretty important. they need to close this out fairly quickly. at least they want to close this out, this being the challenge. they go into this in pretty good shape because she finished strong. she won california by 13 percentage points, which is more than most people thought. she ended up with almost a thousand more delegates than bernie sanders. she had more than 3 million more popular votes. she's in a good position, but i think that they need to have
7:08 am
this ends the right way. they want bernie sanders not to go away. they want him to be out there as an advocate for her. >> he's been portrayed in a political article that came out last night as quite bitter at this point. >> yeah, he may be. i don't know. they don't believe that at the clinton camp, that he's quite bitter. i think he has to decide how he wants this to end, what the optics are going to be. he could be a rock star in the democratic party going forward. he's very popular. lots of people are going to want him on their side, campaigning for them, bringing these young people out. he has an opportunity here as well. >> claire mccaskill joined us yesterday. she said it's up to bernie sanders to convince young people to support hillary clinton. do you they that's the case? >> well, i'm not sure that's true. i know he can help doing that. i think the clinton people think they're doing actually slightly better with younger people than commonly thought. but there's no doubt that he is an energizer. she needs that energizer because the coalition is going to have to include a big chunk of young people. they can't have them drifting
7:09 am
away into basically -- into donald trump's camp for sure. that's got to be a role for bernie sanders. >> all right. great to have you at the table. >> thanks. appreciate it. israel is retaliating this morning after a deadly terror attack on israeli civilians. security camera video captured the very disturbing scene at a tel aviv restaurant when two palestinian gunmen killed four people and wounded at least five others. both suspects are now under arrest. israel is sending hundreds of extra troops to the west bank. jonathan, good morning. >> good morning. the gunmen targeted a popular shopping district across the street from israel's military headquarters. it was a bold and deadly attack in what has been an eight-month wave of violence violence. the attackers dressed in dark suits had just ordered dessert before starting a deadly assault. surveillance cameras from inside the packed restaurant show people scrambling as the two
7:10 am
gunmen calmly and systemically took down their targets. at one point, pistol whipping a victim. >> i hear them like two times. then five seconds later i start hearing shooting. bam, bam, bam. then i start running out. >> police were quick to respond, shooting down one of the gunmen. a few blocks away, the second shooter was captured. the attackers have been identified as cousins from the west bank. overnight, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu visited the scene and called the attack a savage crime. >> we're going to take the necessary steps to attack the attackers and to defend those who need to be defended. >> retaliation was quick. israeli military teams went door to door in the village where the attackers lived, questioning family. work permits for more than 200 of the gunmen's relatives were

illness or death. only on "cbs this morning" ana werner spoke with the agent working on the audit. >> reporter: good morning, norah. the inspector general's in-depth look at how recalls were handled won't be finished until sometime next year, but investigators felt this was simply too urgent to wait. they are taking the unusual step of issuing an alert, saying the fda took too long to get some food companies to pull contaminated food products off the shelves, leaving some consumers in danger. >> i'm very concerned. >> reporter: auditors are reviewing 30 food recalls between october 2012 and may 2015, but in the alert lay out two case where is they say consumers remained at risk of illness or death for several weeks after fda knew of potentially hazardous food. george nether is leading the audit. >> i think the time these recalls took were problematic, absolutely. >> reporter: the alert says in a
7:13 am
salmonella outbreak in 2014 linked to nut butter, investigators found it took 165 days from the day the product was identified to the date of the firm's voluntary recall. there were 14 illnesses in 11 states. during a listeria outbreak later that same year linked to cheese products, auditors determined a series of recalls took 81 days to complete. at least nine people became ill, including an infant who died and two pregnant women lost their fetuses. >> if you're fda and you know of, as you say, eight people who are already ill or have gotten ill over this, how many days would you expect? how many days would america expect them to take to figure out and get this product off the shelf? >> i think that we have traditionally done a very good job. >> reporter: the fda's doctor defends the agency, saying thousands of recalls are handled successfully each year. >> for us to be able to do the trace backs and identify how this all comes together takes a
7:14 am
fair amount of time in some instances. >> you sound, though, as if you're saying that there's nothing wrong in those two cases. 81 days and 165 days. >> what i'm saying is that there are situations in which it's very challenging to be able to take the actions that need to be taken as quickly as possible. >> reporter: actions netter believes aren't always happening quickly enough. >> unless you get all the product off the shelf, people are still at risk. >> reporter: the fda is already making changes in response to the inspector general's probe, setting up a high-level internal review group that can push for quicker action on recalls when it's needed. netter told us it's only the third time he's aware of in 27 years when investigators have felt the need to issue an urgent alert. gayle? >> thank you, ana. an arizona wildfire is burning this morning near the site of one of the deadliest fires in recent history, threatening hundreds of homes.

i wrote that song. >> which did she say that about you -- >> gayle. >> hopefully she says it about -- >> it's embarrassing. >> when they said diana ross, "i'm coming up," you wrote that, too? is there such a thing as a nile rodgers sound or hook? it's madonna, it's keith urban, it's the current people, too. >> yeah. >> lady gaga. >> when i'm lucky, the nile rodgers sound is a hit. >> you write all the time every day. >> every day -- most days. sometimes i'm flying and i can't write. >> do you have a process? >> it change. varies because there's no specific -- here's a good example, i just got called to work on the movie "trolls." they had a specific scene that they wanted me to do. that was easy because it's laid out. you know what you have to do. it's just because you become more of a tech no-crat than an artist. i artistically did it.
8:37 am
it was great. if it's something that comes from nothing, that's a different process altogether. usually you're inspired by real life. >> you've had pretty unusual collaborations in your career. one of which i think took people by surprise, the david bowie collaboration. you said that literally changed your life. why? >> because i had no record deal, david had no record deal. believe it or not, he paid for that record himself. and we did it in 17 days start to finish. >> "let's dance"? >> yeah. never touched it again. and that's "lens dance," "china doll," "modern love," "cat people." we sold more than 11 million out of the box. >> you knew at 5 that music was what you wanted to do. what happened to you? >> when i turned 5 years old, my grandmother gave me a pair of blue suede shoes, and the record by elvis presley, "blue suede shoes." she said, put on the shoes, and go dance for the company. >> in high school you played with the "sesame street" band. >> right after high school.
8:38 am
i joined "sesame street." >> don't hear you talk about that much. >> no. well, it was a great time. luther vandross was one year before me. he got "sesame street" first and left to go to the apollo theater. i got "sesame street," then i left to go to the apollo theater. the rest is history. >> it's fun to watch when you play your guitar. even in the green room. when i see you on stage, your whole face transforms. what is that feeling that you're thinking about? you are so in the moment. as most musicians are. it seems to really totally take over your body to me. that feeling? >> my guitar -- i bought that guitar in 1973. i was on tour with the jackson five. we were their opening act. my partner made me buy that guitar. i was so reluctant because i was mr. jazz guy, too cool. he said, look, i'll tell you, it's going to improve your sound
8:39 am
immensely. i was like, man, i don't want to play that music. and i bought the famous one there. a couple weeks later i wrote "everybody dance." that was the beginning of chic. >> the role. we had a report on before you about the ed sheeran lawsuit. and there have been a lot of lawsuits, obviously. led zeppelin's involved in one. what do you make of what's going on in the music business now? and do you think there's a copying problem? >> there's always been a copying problem. but anthony, just -- i have to be completely honest. there's simply no other way to compose. we're all inspired by other people. i've always told people the greatest motivation when it comes to music is jealousy. you hear somebody else's song, and you go -- that's great. if it just went like this. that would be cool. man, that's a great idea. >> i've heard so many songwriters say what inspires them is they hear a record by
8:40 am
somebody else and go, let's do something like that. >> does it sound the same to you, the pieces? >> no, no. >> it doesn't? >> no. see, that's the cleverness of being a composer is that what you do is you're inspired by somebody, and then you make it your own, right? you may hear a little lick, but you don't copy them. that's -- no. it's not copying. >> even when you look at the notes? they showed the notes and how they're identical. you can't say -- >> the notes -- melody and notes -- i can take a composition that's close, and i can tribe it and the notes and make the notes look pretty close. i mean, say for instance you wrote it in another key. i transpose it to a different key. i can make it -- >> it's not legit to you? not legit? >> it's hard to prove because the fact is i am telling you now, to the audience, i hear other people's music -- as a
8:41 am
matter of fact, this -- >> we've got to run. i apologize. i want to get this mention in, you're going to be performing live at your second annual fold festival -- >> freak out let's facebook.com/cbsthismorning. congratulations. >> thanks. >> let's dance. and we have more from don dahler in a cab anyone -- cabin in the woods. >> reporter: when you get here, you'll be asked to lock away your cell phone. how one company is trying to ,,volutionize your summer

with the official start of summer less than two weeks away, many americans are thinking about vacations. more than one in four americans in 2014 didn't have pay time. 80% of millennials would rather take multiple short vacation than one long one. don dahler is in the new hampshire woods where a company started by harvard grad students is trying to revolutionize the way we disconnect. good morning. >> reporter: hey, good morning. come on in. the founders of getaway decided to use tiny houses like the one
8:46 am
i'm in now because they wanted people to get outdoors more. they also didn't want their guests to do too much advanced planning of activity, so they keep the location secret until the last possible moment. ryan and meg are setting out on an adventure five months in the making. in january, the couple booked a one-night stay somewhere in the woods. just 24 hours before leaving, they found out where. it's a two-hour drive from ryan's apartment outside boston. a world away from their normal lives. >> it was relaxing just to be together and have nothing else really going on. just kind of back to your roots. >> reporter: meg and ryan's getaway comes courtesy of a company called getaway. the startup aimed at millennials is part vacation, part social experiment. they built three tiny houses that are, well, tiny and placed
8:47 am
them in undisclosed locations in the new england wilderness. >> it was like staying in a cabin you that would anywhere in new hampshire or maine, but on a much smaller scale. >> reporter: each house is made of wood, powered mostly by solar energy, and comes furnished with lofted beds, hanging chair, kitchen supplies, a stove, towels and bedding, a simple shower and toilet, and board games to play. all the creature comforts of home jammed into 160 square feet. did it feel cramped to you? >> no. >> no, not really. >> it's actually comparable if you think about it to a studio space or size in any city, boston, new york, whatever. >> reporter: room service -- not a chance. and out here, expect minimal cell service and no wi-fi. >> it was kind of really nice to not know what time it was. we ended up spending the night here. we made s'mores. weated dinner. >> reporter: -- we ate dinner. >> reporter: you were able to
8:48 am
virtually disconnect successfully for one night? >> yeah. >> reporter: what do you think for a week? >> i think it would get easier as the days went on. >> reporter: that's what founders pete davis and john staff intended. >> i like being connected, i'm always always connected to it unless i actively disconnect. >> reporter: guests are encouraged to lock away their smartphones and trade surfing social media for soaking in the surroundings. >> when you get here, you do nothing. you just are in a beautiful, tiny house, you're in the woods, and you're with the people you love and your own thought. >> reporter: americans today are taking less vacation time than ever. in 2013, 169 million vacation days went unused. the equivalent of over $52 billion in lost benefits. >> it's crazy. there's a lost week for americans where you could be etting away and you're not. and i'm pretty sure it's not because you love your job and want to stay there. it's because vacations are too hard and expensive. >> reporter: that's why accessibility and price are
8:49 am
important to staff and davis. houses are an easily drivable distance and start at $99 a night. >> this is cool. >> reporter: for meg and ryan, it's an alternative to a more traditional vacation, not a replacement. you don't think the resort chains have anything to worry about yet? >> no. >> i don't think so. i not those will always be filled -- i think those will always be filled with some. i see this as becoming a more prominent scene for those trying to get away from the city definitely. >> reporter: getaway is expanding. they're going to open three around new york city and hope to have 15 by the end of summer. they're looking at taking the concept national. anthony? >> don, thanks. i've got a few of those lost weeks, by the way. you're watching "cbs this morning." we'll be right back. ,,,,,,,,,,,, announcer: if the hardest part of your day
