congress. and he said he's open to more regulations on tech companies. vladimir duthiers of our streaming network cbsn is following this unfolding story. >> good morning. this data scandal has plagued the giant for days. facebook stock is down and the company is facing mounting pressure from lawmakers for transparency. yesterday, zuckerberg finally addressed concerns and began answering questions. >> this was a major breach of trust and i'm really sorry that this happened. >> reporter: in a rare television interview, facebook ceo mark zuckerberg acknowledged his company should have done more to protect its user's data. >> if we can't do that, then we don't deserve to have the opportunity to serve people. >> in 2013, a researcher built a personality quiz app that collected psychological data from facebook users and some of their friends. the information was then sold to a third party. cambridge analytica. and used in targeted political

advertising. >> you can't share data in a way that people don't know or don't consent to. >> zuckerberg said wednesday in 2015, journalists told facebook that cambridge analytica has data from its users. facebook asked the company to delete the data. zuckerberg said facebook believed cambridge analytica had, after it provided them with a formal certification. >> we used to, when people legally certify they're going to do something, that they do it. >> reporter: in a facebook post earlier wednesday, zuckerberg outlined some of the changes the company vows to make. he said facebook will investigate all apps that have access to large amounts of information prior to 2014 when they reduced data access. facebook will ban any developer that does not agree to a thorough audit and take steps to help users understand which apps they've allowed to access their data. >> we're going to review thousands of apps. this is going to be an intensive process. but this is important.

>> reporter: cambridge analytica says it will undergo an independent investigation. facebook coo sheryl sandberg broke her silence calling it a major violation of trust. zuckerberg reveals he doesn't know if there are other groups like cambridge analytica in possession of facebook user data. >> thank you, vlad. cbs news contributor nicholas thompson is editor in chief of "wired." he talkeded to zuckerberg yesterday about the company's giant problem and how he plans to solve it. i'm very curious about the interview. first, i want to know how you got -- especially after this cover. here's your latest cover of "wired" magazine showing him bloodied and bruised. i would think you would be the last people he would reach out to. he very rarely does interviews. how did you get it? >> i think he thought that story was tough but fair. i don't know the internal conversations they had. all i know is yieldesterday i g note from facebook saying we might have an executive available and then they said can you talk to zuckerberg in ten

minutes. >> so after talking to him, did you think his mea culpa was enough? >> i thought his mea culpa was strong and i thought it was the right thing to do. who knows whether they've got enough to undo the damage. there's the larger question of whether structural facebook can be changed in such a way this doesn't happen again. >> nick, one of the things he said in your interview that struck me was, think the feedback we've gotten from our community is privacy and having data locked down is more important than maybe having more data and different kinds of experiences. why did he have to learn that from the privacy that people value privacy over the neat little things? >> it is a complicated tradeoff. if you prioritize portability, facebook works better. you can build better apps. it's very easy to use. if you prioritize privacy, there's much lower risk and much lower downside. the country hasn't really prioritized privacy over the last ten years. it turns out, though, privacy lines that america doesn't like to cross is when your data is used in politicings. >> do you get the sense they

were caught off guard by this? >> they were caught off guard in all kinds of ways. one, they were caught off guard in the story. that popped up in 2015. they thought it had gone away. they thought it was the last they would hear about the misuse of facebook data. then they learned about it from the "times," the guardian observer, and they were caught off guard by how the public responded. over the weekend, i think they thought it would be bad but pass and it was only on monday and tuesday when they realized it was a disaster. >> if you were to take him at his word, though, their biggest mistake is they were naive, right, they thought that data had been deleted. it really is hard to square that with the shrewd business behemoth that they are though. >> yes, that was -- that is a clear mistake, right, so zuckerberg admitted to two mistakes. one, the specific one. when they learned about it in 2015, they should have run a forensic audit. instead, they asked for certification. >> took them at their word. >> they should have

investigated. the second mistake was john just mentioned, the prioritization of portability over privacy. >> all right, nick, we'll have a lot more of this to come. nick thompson. we are learning a new detail about the man suspected of terrorizing austin, texas with a series of bombings over nearly three weeks. police say 23-year-old mark conditt confessed in a 25-minute video. it was recorded just hours before he blew himself up yesterday. as s.w.a.t. officers were closing in on him. omar villafranca is near the suspect's home in pflugerville, where police found more evidence. >> reporter: good morning. police say they found the video on conditt's cell phone but they're not releasing it because it is now evidence in the investigation. investigators are telling us in that video conditt methodically explains how he made those bombs. and police believe all the bombs are accounted for. >> he does not at all mention

anything about terrorism, nor does he mention anything about hate. >> reporter: austin interim police chief brian manley says the 25-minute video doesn't show a motive. but does offer a glimpse into the mind of bombing suspect mark conditt. >> there were also indications of actions he was willing to take in the future. >> a major breakthrough in the massive manhunt came when investigators identified coditt on this surveillance footage in a fedex store, dropping off two explosive packages using the alias kelly killmore. >> he walked into the fedex store with that white wig and gloves and, i mean, he obviously stood out. so he was making very poor judgments. >> reporter: investigators eventually narrowed down conditt's license plate number and linked that to his cell phone, allowing agents to pinpoint his location. that led them to this hotel parking lot north of austin early wednesday morning. where they rammed conditt's red suv as he was driving away. when officers approached the

vehicle, police say conditt detonated an explosive inside. at conditt's home six miles away, federal agents recovered bombmaking materials that matched the components in early explosives that killed two people and injured five others. also uncovered, a list of addresses presumed to be future targets. conditt, who neighbors describe as quiet, was the oldest of four children. he was home schooled and attended community college. eddie harp who has known the family for 15 years, read a statement on their behalf. >> the family's present focus is on dealing with their shock and loss and cooperating with the police investigation. >> reporter: the conditt family says they had no idea what their son was going through. we do know condit had two room mates and police did talk to them and law enforcement sources tell us they have been cleared. but police do not know if conditt had any accomplices. >> just such incredible

investigative work from officials. omar, thank you. a powerful storm is threatening to trigger dangerous mudslides in southern california today as it moves through areas devastated by wildfires in december. 30,000 people across 35 miles are under mandatory evacuation orderings. that includes mont secedo where heavy rain caused mudslides earlier this year. >> reporter: good morning. officials here are worried about creeks just like this one that are already moving at a very fast pace. they're worried they could turn into debris-filled rivers. right now, the rain has already started to come down pretty heavy. but worst of the storm isn't even expected until later this morning. people in this area have been evacuated three times since january. but officials tell me right now they're not taking any chances with people's safety. the heaviest rain started morning, renewing fears of

mudslides which caught many here off-guard in january. those mudslides killed 21 people with two children still missing. huge boulders were swept into neighborhoods by the strength of the storm which officials say could happen again. battalion chief adam estabrok. >> as it gets wetter, we're starting to have some of those boulders come loose and they'll come rolling down the mountains. >> reporter: as many as 10 inches of rain could fall before this storm is over. >> it's almost double the amount of rain that we had when we had the january incident. >> reporter: the rain is already causing flooding and closed roads in nearby ventura county. in los angeles county, the saturated ground caused this 70-year-old pine tree to fall across a street into another property. no one was injured. meanwhile, officials in montceto now just how devastating the storms can be. is there a possibility lightning can strike twice again in this area? >> well, we hope not. just depends on, you know, how much rain we get, how fast we

get it. >> reporter: there are an additional 400 first responders on standby right now in case of an emergency. experts are predicting we could see up to an inch of rain per hour in some areas. which could lead to some flash flooding. right now, there is a flash flood warning in effect that goes through 5:00 p.m. tonight. already this morning we've seen this creek rise pretty fast and we've actually heard boulders coming downstream. >> mireya, thank you. police in california are investigating why two sacramento police officers shot at an unarmed black man 20 times and killed him. new video shows the officers opening fire on 22-year-old stephon clark. he was a father of two and he was in his grandparent's backyard when he was killed on sunday. john blackstone is at the police headquarters in sacramento where the community has a lot of questions. >> reporter: good morning. sacramento police say the two responding officers believed clark was pointing a gun at

them. but in spite of the newly released police body cam and helicopter video, there's still questions about why the officers fired 20 rounds at clark. >> hey, show me your hands! stop! stop! > reporter: police body camera video released by the sacramento police department shows the moment two officers opened fire on stephon clark. >> show me your hands! [ gunshots ] >> 57, shots fired. >> reporter: in the video, the officers unload a barrage of gunfire at clark, at least 20 rounds in all, killing the 22-year-old. >> -- out the -- were uning south running to the south. >> reporter: police believe clark smashed windows and a sliding glass door in a south sacramento neighborhood sunday. officers chased him to his grandparent's backyard. police say they thought clark was pointing a gun at them. >> subject's down.

>> did he have a gun? >> reporter: police never found a firearm, only a cell phone. >> we want everybody to see the video. that's why we made it a priority so that everybody has the opportunity to see what we have the opportunity to see. >> they came from this tresh direction. >> reporter: the family attorney says nothing in the video justify the shooting. >> you see officers saying gun, gun, gun, and then opening fire. >> reporter: for the clark family, they're promising justice. >> you're going to know his name forever, john, you hear me? you're going to remember it like how you know trayvon martin, eric garner, tamir rice, you're going to know him, remember this. >> reporter: clark had prior run-ins with the law before sunday's shooting including for robbery and domestic violence. sacramento police say the two officers involved in the shooting are now on paid administrative leave. >> john, thanks. president trump is defending his decision to congratulate russian president vladimir putin on his re-election. tweeting yesterday, quote, getting along with russia and

others is a good thing. they can help solve problems with north korea, syria, ukraine, isis, iran and even the coming arms race. peace through strength. cbs news has learned chief of staff john kelly and others are irritated that information in a classified white house briefing leaked to the press. it warned the president not to congratulate putin on his election victory. advice the president ignored. the briefing is meant only for the president's inner circle. one senior white house official called leaking such information a fireable offense and likely illegal. another official called it beyond the pale. >> the white house says president trump supports the massive spending bill unveiled by congressional leaders. lawmakers have until midnight tomorrow to pass the bill to avoid a government shutdown. it's $1.3 trillion will fund the government through september. the president slammed democrats in a tweet, saying, quote, had to waste money on dem giveaways. julianna goldman is on capitol hill.

julianna, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. that's right, yesterday the president's aides said mr. trump supports the bill and that was after house speaker paul ryan went to the house and briefed him on the details. the measure would provide $1.6 billion to fund the president's border wall. but that's far short of the $25 billion that the white house has sought. now, on guns, the bill also includes the so-called fix nics legislation which includes the sharing of mental health and criminal records in gun background checks. in return, democrats got a provision that makes clear the government can use federal funds through the centers for disease control to research gun violence. the bill also does not include protections for so-called dreamers. for that, the president blamed the democrats, saying that they just didn't care. the bill also provides funding for the opoid crisis and increases defense spending. senate minority leader chshuck schumer called it a very good

compromise. the house is set to vote later this afternoon before sending it to the senate. >> thank you, julianna. arizona police released video of the first deadly accident involving a self-driving vehicle. ahead, how this video taken from the suv is fueling safety concerns about the cutting-edge

questions over how much oversight is necessary and how ready is the technology. the accident happened in about a second. with its on board cameras rolling, uber's suv was going approximately 38 miles an hour in autonomous mode. a safety driver in the case of an emergency is seen to have looked away from the road before the accident. 49-year-old elaine herzberg jaywalking with her bicycle is only visible with the human eye for a moment before she is struck and killed. tempe police tells cbs news from the early investigation is the accident may not have been avoidable because she appears to have walked directly into the suv's path. national transportation safety board investigators are in tempe. they want to know if the sensors and other technology on the self-driving vehicle should have detected herzberg sooner than a human and they plan to speak to the safety drive about the moments before the crash. >> hope it brings new jobs and convenience and safety. >> reporter: starting in 2016, the arizona governor declared the state open for self-driving business with little regulation.

a report out a report out this morning shows thousands of children are injured or killed by furniture that tips over, and the numbers are growing. "consumer reports" tested 24 different dresser models and is calling for a mandatory safety standard. the consumer product safety commission says tipover injuries for children under 6 rose by 33% from 2015 to 2016. anna werner shows us why "consumer reports" believes the industry standard is inadequate. anna, i can't watch those with kids. >> exactly. it's hard to watch. there are voluntary standards for dressers.

but advocates wanted to know why are so many kids still being injured or killed. now they and parents who have lost children say the answer is voluntary standards that currently exist aren't enough. >> just in this little sliver of time, our lives have changed forever. >> reporter: for janet mcgee, that change came on a sunday afternoon in 2016 as she checked to see if her 22-month-old son ted had woken up from his nap. >> i hoped the door and right in front of me, his dresser i saw on the floor, it had fallen forward. in that split second, i knew he was under there. >> reporter: the toddler was buried under the dresser drawers. he had suffocated. >> his face was purple, eyes half open. it was a horrible vision that unfortunately i'm still haunted by every single day. >> reporter: the accidents can happen like this one seen in a home monitoring video last year as two toddlers climbed onto a

dresser, tipping it over. one boy was trapped for two minutes. both escaped uninjured. many kids aren't so lucky. from 2015 to 2016 more than 15,000 children died from tip-overs of dressers, bureaus, or with a tv on top. so consumer reports conducted tipover testing on 24 different dressers, subjecting each to progressively tougher tests, some more stringent than the current voluntary standard. the result, the group says the voluntary standard is inadequate because it still leaves too many children at risk. across the board for parents, trying to figure out which are safer than others, how difficult is that? >> it's extremely difficult. you can't judge whether a dresser is going to be tippy or not by looking at it. >> reporter: consumer reports is calling for a mandatory standard to protect children.

in a statement, the american home furnishings alliance told "cbs this morning" it is not opposed to mandatory product safety standards but said they cannot be easily revised or updated once passed. consumer reports says by the numbers, most dressers actually passed their toughest test. >> some are already doing a fantastic job. >> what you're saying is, look, they all can do that. >> it's possible, it's achievable, and it doesn't require extra cost. you can make dressers that are very stable at all price points, at all shapes, sizes, all heights, all weights. >> if you want to see the results for specific manufacturers, you can check "consumer reports" and see how those manufacturers responded. if in the meantime you're a parent of young children, the answer is right now, anchor furniture. not just dressers. anything you think might tip over. anchors cost say they say about $5. you can go to cbsnews.com.

we have links to the report with detailed information on all the manufacturers. >> it sounds to easy to do. that happened to me when favorite daughter kirby was 2. i hope she doesn't remember. she pulled the bottom drawer out and stood on it. i left the room for a second. i heard it crash. it was on top of her. does the cost of the dresser matter? this was not a well made dresser, i believe. but does cost matter? >> i'm glad she's okay. >> me too. >> that's the thing, gayle. no. what they found is you can buy a dresser at a higher price, lower price, and you're not going to know. there's no way to know, yes, that dresser will fall over or no, it won't. >> that's heartbreaking for janet who did babyproof her house. >> she's trying to get the word out. >> anna, thank you. up next, look at this morning's other headlines people everywhere

good morning to our viewers in the west. that's you. it's thursday, march 22nd 2018, welcome back to "cbs this morning." facebook ceo mark zuckerberg says he's ready to answers questions from congress about that data mining scandal. ahead, we'll talk to senator john kennedy about what he hopes to learn from mark zuckerberg. plus, we'll take you under the streets of los angeles to see a massive probe of prehistoric fossils. very cool. but here's today's "eye opener" at 8:00. facebook ceo mark zuckerberg is apologizing for his company's role in the data mining scandal. >> facebook's stock is down and the company is facing mounting pressure from lawmakers for transparency. >> do you think his mea culpa was enough? >> i thought his mea culpa was strong. who knows whether they've done enough to undo the damage. in the video conditt describes how he made the bombs.

the rain has already started to come down pretty heavy, but the worst of the storm isn't expected until later this morning. in spite of the newly released police video there are still questions about why the officers fired 20 rounds. the president's aide said mr. trump supports the bill after paul ryan briefed him on the details. the measure would provide $1.6 billion to fund the border wall. hey, the queen of england is planning a huge concert for her 92nd birthday. concert, yeah, yeah. the queen made the decision right after finding out that pit bull was available. or was it gucci? >> having a little fun at the queen's expense. >> a party. >> pit bull puts on a good show. that would be a good thing. >> so does the royal family. >> there you go. i'm john dickerson with gayle king and bianna golodryga. norah is off. facebook's ceo mark zuckerberg says his company will alert users whose data was accessed by

a political consulting firm. zuckerberg spoke for the first time yesterday since the revelation that facebook mishandled data from more than 50 million users. >> the information was sold to cambridge analytica a consultant to the trump campaign. that firm says it will now undergo an independent investigation. >> mark zuckerberg apologized and called it a major breach of trust. several members of congress are calling on zuckerberg to testify. zuckerberg said he is willing if he's the right person from facebook. >> so what we try to do is send the person at facebook who will have the most knowledge about what congress is trying to learn. if that's me, then i am happy to go. what i think we've found so far is typically there are people whose whole job is focused on an area but i would imagine there is a topic i am the sole authority and it will make sense for me to do it. >> zuckerberg said he gave interviews yesterday because he understand people want to hear

from facebook's leader. china says it's ready to respond to president trump's expected announcement today of new tariffs and penalties against the country. they could reportedly total $60 billion. it could make hundreds of chinese-made goods more expensive including electronics, toys and clothing. the president wants to lower the $375 billion u.s. trade deficit with china. ben tracy is in beijing following what could be the beginning of a trade war. ben, good morning. >> good morning. president trump is also looking to punish china for what he views as unfair trade practices. that includes forcing american companies to hand over valuable technology or trade secrets just to do business here in china. if there is a trade war brewing, well, china appears ready to fight back. this video posted thursday by chinese media shows kids talking about a trade war with the u.s.

if they have an eye to us, this child says, we will cut out that eye. and when it comes to retaliation, china is already eyeing american farmers. perhaps hoping to hit president trump's rural base of voters in places like iowa and ohio. >> what brings a farmer from iowa to beijing? >> soybean business. >> reporter: grant kimberly is a sixth generation iowa farmer. one in every four rows of soybeans planted in iowa ends up in china. overall, u.s. soybean exports to china are worth $12.4 billion. chinese tariffs on u.s. soybeans would make them more expensive which could cost u.s. farmers business. >> china buys about 30 to 33% of all the soybeans that we grow in the entire united states. so it's very important to have a strong relationship. >> reporter: major u.s. companies such as boeing and apple and ford could also be hit if china retaliates.

tianjun wu is a beijing-based economist. >> given that the government here keeps saying we don't want a trade war, is there any chance they just let this go? >> i don't think they can let it go. i mean just looking at the domestic politics, it will be showing the weakness to just let it go. china definitely wants to retaliate somehow. >> reporter: now china could retaliate by making it harder for american companies to do business here, but analysts we talked to said they think china will avoid a full-fledged trade war because that won't be good for its economy either. john? >> ben tracy in beijing, thanks. we're less than three full months into 2018 but the number of working legislative days for congress is dwindling. there are still 285 days left on 2018 calendar but the house will only be in session for 88 days and the senate just 126 days. juanna goldman is on capitol hill with whether lawmakers will be able to keep their legislative promises in that

short time. good morning. >> good morning. well that might seem like a long bit of time, but don't expect much legislating during that period. after the spending bill which does include some modest measures on tough issues like guns, there is little motivation to take further action before november's midterm elections. >> we're going to pass the stop school violence. >> ban bump stocks and make ate crime to possess or manufacture them. >> reporter: while member es of both parties are calling for you are eurgent action. >> it's protecting our elections period. >> i hope we can do an infrastructure bill. >> reporter: it's unlikely they will be able to tick through their wish list before the november midterm elections. >> let us do our job and forward. >> it's harder to get bipartisan consensus and get the bills everyone agrees are a good idea passed because of the level of vitriol. >> reporter: michael steele was the former spokesman for john

boehner and says whenever it passes the spending bill will likely be the last major legislative action this year. >> given the lack of harmony and bipartisanship in washington these days there aren't a lot of other opportunities for big bipartisan bills. >> reporter: the midterm elections are on the minds of many, with upwards of 50 competitive races, tdemocrats need to pick up 24 seat out in and 2 in the senate to take a majority in both chambers and despite a victory on taxes. >> we passed the largest tax cuts and reform in american history. >> we all know washington's broken. >> reporter: republicans will face challengers who decry inaction in washington. sentiment echoed by republican senator susan collins this week warned against not moving on legislation to lower health care premiums. >> the focus is on scoring partisan, political points that can be used in the fall election. >> reporter: lawmakers are about to leave for a two-week recess

and now typically we don't really see this slow down until august of an election year, but this year the schedule is a bit out of whack because of the way congress has been passing these short-term, smaller spending bills. gayle? >> a lot of things seem out of whack in washington these days. thank you very much, juliana na. >> new research explains what could cause mumps outbreaks on college campuses. dr. david agus in our toyota green room with why some kids may need another vaccine when they t

new new research could explain the growing number of mumps cases among young adults who thought childhood vaccines would last forever. scientists warn the shots may be wearing off. the answer could be a third mumps shot when somebody turns 18.

oh, no. a mumps outbreak hit the campus of james madison university in virginia this past winter. 19 students and five staff members got sick, starting in january. this is the latest in a series of mumps cases. our dr. david agus is here to explain. hello, dr. agus. >> good morning. >> what does the study show? most think you get the shot i'm done. >> this is kind of a great detective story. two scientists at harvard noticed an outbreak at harvard two years ago and why is it happening. they started to look and say is it because immunity is wearing out or the virus changing and the data showed immunity starts to wear out starting about 8 years, 25% will lose immunity, by 17 years half. the vaccine came out in 1967. a number of cases went down 99%. 20 years later we added a second vaccine to eliminate lower the number of cases. now we need to get to zero because it's bumping up to several thousand a year happening. >> why are younger adults at

higher risk? we've seen the outbreaks at college campuses? >> until the '60s people got the mumpsps and they have strong immunity. the vaccine wasn't as strong as getting the mumps. kids, you know, are living in close quarters together, it's spread by sputum, kids swap stuff when in college. so we see outbreaks on sports team in colleges. >> yes. >> very diplomatic way to put it. >> i apologize. >> a morning show. >> we get it. >> and so you see it in the close quarters. >> remind people what mumps are again. >> mumps -- >> chipmunk cheeks. >> you get these chipmunk cheeks but in 10% more serious things, affect hearing, you can get testicular swelling in men may lead to infertility. we can eliminate with the vaccine. >> if the immunity is wearing off in this case do we worry about other things or just specifically with mumps?

>> vaccines are amazing but they need to be improved and ain't perfect yet. we give elderly two flu shots during the year. if you go to chemo you get a second flu shot also. when the shingles vaccine came out it was good but a better one came out and so we're actually giving that new one even to people who had the old one. vaccines are evolving. i think that's important. it's not a failure. they're tremendous successes but getting better. >> as parents ready to take their kids to college should they be stopping at the doctor's office on the way and giving them the third vaccine? >> not yet. it's not the recommendation. my gut it will be based on this data. the military do a vaccine a third when you get in and they have no cases of mumps. so this data is pushing that maybe we need to revisit what's happening. if there's an outbreak on campus anybody that had been exposed gets a third vaccine and a dramatically lowers your chance of getting it. my gut is that the recommendations will change. >> okay. thank you for keeping this a family friendly show. thank you. >> i do my best. >> lawmakers on capitol hill are

to end his medical career. well, yesterday we heard her side of the story for the first time. >> i was crying and really upset. >> reporter: meghan verikas talked about how it was to pose for these. >> i sat in a chair in a warehouse and jacob tied my hands and feet and put duct tape around my mouth to make it look as if i had been kidnapped. >> reporter: marion "mack" mcdaniel also testified. >> what did you do for them? >> staged my own death. >> was it hard to do? >> beyond majd. >> reporter: prosecutors charged leon jacob along with his girlfriend at the time valerie

mcdaniel. the discussions were captured on undercover police video. but the men jacob and mcdaniel were speaking to last march were not killers for hire. they were undercover operatives including moataz azzeh, a decorated army veteran recruited by police. >> were you ever hired to murder for money? >> no, no, i would never do anything like that. >> reporter: the undercover officer we could onto identify by javier. >> he wanted him killed. she was under the belief that i was going to carjack him and i was going to put a bullet in his head. >> reporter: after the fake hit man said the targets were dead, police went to the couple's houston high-rise apartment where the suspects appeared to

act surprised. >> oh, my god. >> might have been a robbery gone wrong. >> reporter: officers later ended the charade. >> right now i'm going read you your rights. >> me? >> reporter: putting jacobs and mcdaniel in handcuffs. >> i'm looking in the eyes of essentially a killer. what do you want those people to know? >> i'm innocent and as a human being and as a physician, that thought of killing somebody else goes against everything in my nature. >> your attorney said if you never met wellerry mccann yell, you would not be in this jail today. >> that's probably true. >> and the prosecution is likely to wrap up its case today. the defense is ready to argue leon jacob was pressured by the

undercover ajjts to order the murderers and in dramatic twiftd dr. j cobbs will take the stand to argue that point and valerie mcdaniel took her own life last year. >> this is such a chilling story. i told you i want to school with leon. i knew him pretty whole. i want to ask you about valerie and her death. priefr to that she left an audio diary. what did she say? >> in her audio diary she expressed regret about all. this she had a lot of bad things to say about her husband, alleged cheating and things that set her off. she also professed her love for leon. >> wow, peter. thank you so much. >> you went to school. >> just the sight of him, wow. ahead, why scientists are so

compa company. it's no longer a company. it's a country. enormous power. i would like to meet mr. zuckerberg. not his lawyer. mr. zuckerberg in the flesh. come and talk with us. let's talk about this. let's -- let me ask him a few questions. to what extent, if any, when we go on facebook are we living in a controoifd world created by facebook's algorithms. sort of like truman in "the truman show." i would like to know to what extent facebook has been a good steward of our data. i like to talk about the bargain we've made with facebook. we know what we as consumers get. we get free access to the site. what exactly does facebook get, and what are they doing with it?

how do we preserve the good things about facebook, and there are good things. at the same time stopping the corrosive effects of facebook as a social media platform and other social media platforms. >> senator, this sounds like more than just a response to a single incident. this sounds like a full body exam that's going to take a long time to get through. >> yes, and it's worth it. let me show you the game. facebook does many good things. it does in some respects bring us closer together, but in other respects we have discovered it pushes us apart. particularly the data, the amount of data being collected, how the data is being used, whether it's being used with our consent. the cambridge analytica stuff is kind of getting into the foot hills of creepy here, and we need to address that.

i appreciate his apology, but that's not enough. we need to sit down and visit. i'm not looking to regulate them to death, but i can tell you this. the issue isn't going away. facebook and the other social media companies could do it with congress or without. that's their call. i would respectfully suggest they can do it the easy way or the hard way. >> who mastered the art of meaning data on facebook was president obama's campaign. he was a pioneer, and plenty of politicians use facebook to articulate their message. nothing wrong with that. i'm not saying cambridge

analytica did the right thing here. it certainly looks like they're part of the definition of creepy. the issue is bigger than just one media consultant abusing facebook. i want to know if there have been other cases of abuse. snoo he doesn't know if data got in the hands of russian operatives. how much does that concern you, and should president trump bring this up among other issues with vladimir putin? >> well, the issue is not whether mr. zuckerberg knew. the issue is whether he should have known. the issue is whether -- i'm not saying they were. whether the company was negligent or reckless. how serious are they taking data protection? how serious are they vetting their advertisers, or are they just saying, okay, let's see if

the check clears. if the check clears, put them on. they sent their lawyer. all the media companies sent their lawyers to the last hearing. it was a waste of shareholder money for the media companies, and it was a waste of our time because their lawyers did their job. they dodged, bobbed, weaved, stalled, restalled. they didn't say a damn thing. we need to -- we can do better than that, and mr. zuckerberg is obviously a very bright, accomplished, successful young man. i have no doubt that he will sit down with us and we can do something that will improve facebook. >> can i ask you, senator, about another story that has been in the news, though. possible leaks at the white house.

>> yeah, i'm concerned. the president ought to be concerned. mr. kelly ought to be concerned. we all ought to be concerned. it's unconscionable. if you dislike the president that much and you are still working for him, you know, you don't have a soul. you ought to quit. i mean, there can't be more than a handful of people who had access to this information. i'm not saying the american people don't have a right to know. they do. but i'm also saying that a president, whoever the president is, has a right to surround himself with people who at least have a modicum of loyalty and sort of have his best interests and the best interests muof the american people at heart at a minimum, and i think this leak was unconscionable. they need to dig a big old hole underneath the jail and put the person there. >> dual outranl on the leak and also on the action of congratulating vladimir putin. senator kennedy, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. archaeologists find a large
