7:03 am
welcome to "cbs this morning." it's a terrible day in annapolis, maryland, where five people went to work yesterday and did not come home. unfortunately, it's a story we've been reporting on way, way, way too much. norah o'donnell is in annapolis, maryland. we'll hear from her in just a moment. john dickerson is off today so bianna golodryga is in for him. vladimir duthiers is also here at the table. just hours after a gunman rampaged through their newsroom, the dedicated staff at the capital gazette company in annapolis published their regular morning paper today. five of their colleagues were killed in the attack. >> the victims range in age from 34 to 65 years old. they include four journalists, a sales assistant for the newspaper. cbs news has new information on why the suspected shooter may have carried out the attack, armed with smoke and flash grenade and a shotgu >> police say the suspect, who
7:04 am
they identified as 38-year-old jarrod ramos, threatened the capital gazette a few hours before the shooting. he is charged with five counts of capital murder. norah o'donnell is in annapolis. norah, good morning. >> reporter: hey, good morning to all of you, let me just tell you, there's some new information this morning. the suspect will be in court this morning. the police chief here telling "cbs this morning" they do believe he acted alone. the chief also saying authorities are still processing this crime scene behind me, but they believe they will be finished this morning. and of course many are still grieving the five victims after what is one of the deadliest attacks on journalists in u.s. history. now, even though five of the capital gazette staff were killed in this morning, seven of the roughly 30 strong editorial staff were seen working in a nearby garage after the attack. they were covering this story while the fate of their friends and colleagues were still unknown.
7:05 am
we saw one of the editors of the paper tweeted last night, yes, we're putting out a damn paper tomorrow. so, guys, here it is. this is the front page of the capital gazette. this is actually one of the oldest newspapers in the country. and so with a small staff left, they put together this newspaper. they're saying that this capital team will be back to work today, even as they grieve for the five lives lost when the shooter stormed in. >> several shots have been fired. at least ten shots heard. >> reporter: just before 3:00 p.m., the gunman entered the building carrying smoke bombs, flash grenades, a shotgun and headed straight for the gazette newsroom. >> this person was prepared today to come in. this person was prepared to shoot people. his intent was to cause harm. >> reporter: employees hid under ieherontsk while the shooters
7:06 am
me the could hr friends fell around them. >> the door had been blown to pieces. it was in shattered pieces all along the carpet. this guy was moving across the entrance of the capital gazette office, pointing the gun deeper into the office, like he was targeting people. >> reporter: all five victims were gunned down on the building's first floor. a gazette reporter, phil davis, described the frightening scene as a war zone. and said there is nothing more terrifying than hearing multiple people get shot while you're under your desk and then hear the gunman reload. police ct t shooter. in that time, they evacuated 170 people from the building who exited with their hands raised high in the air. >> suspect is in the main office. >> reporter: authorities quickly surrounded the shooter and arrested him without exchanging gunfire. law enforcement sources tell cbs news the shooter was hiding under a desk.
7:07 am
and it damaged his fingertips to make it harder for police to identify him with fingerprints. but federal authorities later used facial recognition technology to determine just who he was. police then searched his home for any clues. >> it's a lot of moving parts. our primary job right now is to make sure that we get enough evidence. to make sure we can prosecute this case. >> reporter: and i should tell you guys, this is also part of the paper this morning. this is the opinion page. look at this. it's actually got me really choked up this morning. it says, today we are speechless. this place is intentionally left blank today to commemorate the victims of thursday's shooting in our office. so i do want to tell you about some of the victims. there were five capital gazette employees who were killed. gerald fischman edited the
7:08 am
editorial page. he was a man with a brilliant mind. he was also the brother of novelist and miami herald columnist hiaasen, carl hiassen called his brother gentle and funny. he just celebrated his 33rd wedding anniversary last week. reporter john mcnamara had a passion for sports. his friends called him mack. he was the author of two sports books and was working on a third about basketball players when he was killed. and rebecca smith, well, she just actually recently joined the paper. she was working as a sales assistant. friends told the baltimore sun she had the biggest heart and loved spending time with family. and features writer wendi winters was a mother of four. her daughter told us her mom believed in never acting or admitting her age. she was a girl scout mom. her son said she once prepared her own obituary because she
7:09 am
didn't like how people wrote about the deceased. gayle, two of these victims, gerald fischman and john mcnamara graduated from your alma mater, the university of maryland. bob hiassen taught news writing there too. you can imagine the school there is heart broken by their deaths because they not only taught so many student, they mentored so many young journalists who come through these smaller papers on to bigger newspapers so it's tough. really, really tough. >> norah, the whole story is heartbreaking. you know, we said at the top of the show, you get up, you go to work, you think it's going to be another day. you think another day on the job. and by the time the day is over, your life has totally and irreparably changed. i saw survivor, one of the reporters yesterday, last night on anderson cooper, she said, i know people are praying for us, we keep hearing people offering their prayers. prayers are not what we need right now. that's not what we want. that's not what we need. something needs to be done.
7:10 am
and she was a victim who had been hiding under her desk. the whole thing is just so tragic and unnecessary. >> right. wanting more than prayers. action. just as you said. the other thing interesting, gayle, investigators say this shooting suspect actually had a long-standing grudge against this newspaper gerald ramos sued after the news reported accurately on his guilty plea to charges of harassing a woman that he went to high school with. his defamation case against the newspaper was dismissed. in an interview you'll see only on "cbs this morning"," chip red spoke to the attorney who represented the woman who ramos harassed. this story dates back a while. >> it's been going on for a decade. in fact, brennan mccarthy tells us his client was harassed and stalked by ramos for years and she lived in fear for nearly a decade. he says she was so afraid of him, she moved out of the state of maryland. and the harassment allegedly did not stop with her.
7:11 am
>> he was as angry an individual as i've ever seen. >> reporter: attorney brennan mccarthy says ramos tormented his client for years. >> she lost her job because of him. >> she lost her job because of this individual. he forwarded a letter to her employer basically stating that she was bipolar and a drunk, which is ridiculous. >> reporter: mccarthy says the harassment and stalking began around 2009 after they became friends on facebook. in 2011, she took him to court where she plehe pleaded guilty criminal harassment. five days later, the capital gazette wrote a story titled jarrod wants to be your friend. it outlined ramos' alleged erratic behavior, including e-mails he allegedly sent telling mccarthy's client, go hang yourself, you're going to need a restraining order now, and you can't make me stop. >> mr. ramos was obsessively angry about this particular story. >> reporter: ramos sued the
7:12 am
paper for defamation in 2012. the case was dismissed in 2015 on appeal. according to court documents, the judge said there is nothing to prove anything that was published was, in fact, false. >> i, foreign would, received what i considered to be a death threat. >> reporter: tom marquardt was the capital's executive editor at the time of the article. he said he went to police about ramos' threat but was told nothing could be done. >> i feared for my life. i feared for my family's life. i feared for my staff's life. >> he wanted to get revenge. >> reporter: mccarthy said on thursday when he heard about the shooting at the capital newspaper, he immediately thought of ramos. >> i knew who did it. he did it. >> reporter: and you said it was inevitable? >> it was inevitable. >> reporter: he would eventually do something like this. >> the only question is, who would he get first. >> reporter: mccarthy said he spoke to his client after the shooting and she said she is still scared for her life, even though he is behind bars. norah. >> chilling. chilling to hear those details,
7:13 am
chip, thank you so much. we spoke earlier this morning with the county police chief about the suspect in this case. what's the very latest in the investigation? >> we're frustrated i think. we know what happened. we're still working on a lot of the whys. this morning, we're at a point where physically we're -- we've done everything we need to do in the crime scene. we have done some search warrants at the suspect's residence. >> what did you find? >> we still have a lot of questions. we didn't find any real motivator. we did find some physical evidence that showed origin of the plan, if that makes sense. >> sure. >> i don't want to go into a whole bunch of details. but we certainly found that there is a continuation of thought bringing him here yesterday. >> the threats. the suspect has a bail hearing this morning. is he cooperating with investigators? >> we are not getting too far on
7:14 am
cooperation. >> you held him in jail all night, he's not talking? >> not so much. >> he's not saying much. you know, we spoke to a number of people. i even spoke with former executive editor tom marquardt. he's been threatening people at this newspaper since 2011. i said to tom, sounds like this guy was a ticking time bomb, and he replied to me, that's an understatement. social media, he's been threatening this paper for years. should the police have done more? >> i don't think that you can say the police should have done more. we had one incident that's documented with us. it was fully documented. it was investigated. the management of the paper at the time, who i believe was mr. marquardt, and my investigators in 2013 came to a shared conclusion that carrying action further might exacerbate the situation. you asked the question was he on the radar. certainly that encounter put him on radar.
7:15 am
but you also asked about social media. i have to tell you that policing in america really has taken a step backward when we lost the collator of information that we had to search social media sites. so it's tough for us to keep up with everybody. >> what do we know about the shotgun he had? >> it is a shotgun, not a rifle. and it is a pump action shotgun. >> so he had to pump it every time to fire a shot, it wasn't a semiautomatic? >> correct. >> when did he buy that gun? >> he's had it for about a year. >> about a year. so he recently purchased this. >> yes, within the past 18 months for sure. >> i know your team was a bell to get on the scene within 60 seconds. very quick response that probably saved lives. >> i have to say it wasn't just county policemen. the annapolis city police were here within 60 seconds with my officers from the county and a sheriff's deputy from the county sheriff's office. all made entry together. inside of two minutes to advance on the bad guy and neutralize the threat. >> all right, chief, thank you
7:16 am
very much. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> gayle, one final thought, i asked the chief if you had a felony conviction in the state of maryland, can you buy a gun, he said no. we checked the records. the suspect did plead guilty to a misdemeanor harassment charge so he may have been able to purchase that shotgun legally. >> that will be interesting to hear more about this particular person and how this all came about. thank you very much, norah. we'll go back to you for more coverage of the shooting in our next hour. president trump hosted a bipartisan group of six senators at the white house to discuss the supreme court vacancy created by the upcoming retirement of justice kennedy. the democrats are up for re-election in states that typically vote republican. nancy cordes is on capitol hill with this story. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. senate republicans are pushing for a quick nomination and confirmation process. they want to make sure that they take care of this while they
7:17 am
still have a razor thin majority in the senate. 51-49. because there is a chance the democrats could take control of the senate in the midterm elections this fall. democrats rallied the troops thursday but they don't have many tools in their arsenal. their call to push off a confirmation vote until next year was quickly shot down. >> ain't going to happen. >> republican leader mitch mcconnell famously held up president obama's supreme court pick, merrick garland, for ten months, citing the upcoming election. democrats say he should do the same thing now. >> too close to an election. let's let the people decide. >> reporter: but mcconnell rejected the comparison. >> we're right in the middle of this presidency. the very first term. to my knowledge, nobody on either side has ever suggested before yesterday that the senate should only process supreme court nominations in odd numbered years. >> reporter: adding to the tension, both sides know this pick could change the balance of
7:18 am
the court for a generation. >> what's at stake is whether or not we will continue to recognize or not a woman's right to choose. >> reporter: republicans can approve the nominee with a simple majority. but only if two pro-abortion rights republicans vote yes. >> i don't think we have a nominee yet. >> reporter: lisa murkowski of alaska and susan collins of maine, who says she wants a justice who views roe v. wade as settled law. >> the supreme court, should nominate -- >> reporter: both senators collins and murkowski did support the president's last supreme court pick, neil gorsuch. mr. trump says he's going to choose from a list of 25 conservative judges and soar 17 of them have been appointed to other federal judgeships. so that list has narrowed quite a bit. >> quite a bit indeed,s on the k

7:32 am
speak to her mom. these videos were provided to cbs news by attorney general michael avenatti. they were recorded by a former employee of cayuga centers who quit because of what she calls injustice. the facility has not commented on the circumstances of her departure. in a statement to cbs news, kayugo center says this, its staff members go far beyond the requirements of their jobs and ensure the safety and comfort of all unaccompanied children referred to their program. pamela baez is her name. she's joined now by her lawyer michael avenatti for an interview you'll see only on "cbs this morning." i want to start with you what did you see that made you think i have to pull out my phone and record this? >> i think what made me pull out a phone is knowing these guys were getting psychologically -- it was affecting them tremendously and physically as well. >> what did you see that made you know they were being affected psychologically? >> by me asking them do you want
7:33 am
to speak to your clinician and case manager? i saw the kids would start automatically crying because they didn't have the opportunity to speak to their parents that have been in detention centers. i had a minor that didn't speak to his mom for a month and a half. because he didn't know the situation. >> we keep hearing these kids are allowed to have contact and communicate with their parents. >> they do, but there's not enough phones in the company to make these phone calls. >> and your former employer says the children there are fed nutritious food, provided essentials such as clothing and toiletries and visited by doctors as well. what did you see that bothered you? >> what bothered me was a lot of these kids through the medical department, they were taking a very long time to get seen. also, the psychological trauma that was going on.
7:34 am
a lot of the kids weren't being seen right away. >> michael whethn we spoke on wednesday, you told me in one of the videos, the little boy leo, his mother had been deported back to guatemala. do the kids understand their parents in some cases may be thousands of miles away from where they are? >> a lot of them, they don't even understand because if you see in the video of jessica, i asked her first about where her mother is. she said in the states. so -- >> she thought her mom was still in the united states. >> in the states. but she has no idea. it took her a while to figure out, yes, it's in virginia, but a lot of these kids, they have no idea where their parents are. >> over 80% of the cases that i'm involved in, and i represent over 60 mothers, in over 80% of those cases, the parents don't know where the children are and the children don't know where the parents are. the government has effectively stolen these children from these parents and have refused to tell the parents where they're at because, most cases, they don't
7:35 am
know where they're at. i mean, this is a travesty that these parents have been separated from their children and vice versa and there does not appear to be a will to reunite these children with these parents. >> we keep hearing though, michael, that the reunification process is under way. that the kids are being allowed to communicate with their parents and vice versa. that's not your experience? >> that's just not true, gayle. i have countless parents i'm representing who don't know where their children are, want to communicate with their children, are not able to communicate with their children, and i see nothing to indicate that there's any concentrated effort to reunite these kids with their parents. how complicated is this? it's not that complicated if there's a will to reunite these kids. >> is that what you're seeing too, pamela, that there is -- is there a system to figure out how to get the children and their parents get back together that you could see? >> well, the system that i know about is that they have this system where it's called like a sponsor where they find a sponsor for the child. but at the end of the day,
7:36 am
that's not whou omehou c should be with.y. not a regular sponsor that they probably don't even know. and i don't think we should be handing in our kids to any stranger, you know, i think that is important for these kids to stay -- >> one of the things we keep hearing is drug dealers and gang members are in some case using these children to get into the country or that they are slipping through the country themselves with these kids. what is your experience with that? >> gayle, there may be an isolated incident here or there, but that's a bunch of nonsense. it's designed by the president and some of his supporters to create this boogieman in a closet and scare people. these mothers and fathers who come to the united states in an effort to pursue the american dream and to pursue a better life for themselves and their children, these aren't thugs. they're not drug dealers. they're not using kids as shields. it's an absolute absurdity. >> were you seeing gang members
7:37 am
and drug dealers coming in? >> no, not at all. the opposite. people are running away from the gangs coming in. and if you see the rates, they're actually lower. >> you knew you could lose your job by doing this. you quit but you knew you could lose your job. >> i knew that but i think it's very important for this to come out because i noticed that nobody was doing anything. i thought that by me actually coming out and showing my face will give the courage to other people to actually do the same. i think right now is now or never. this is the time to reunite these families. and this is what needs to happen right now. >> michael avenatti, we know you were stormy daniel's lawyer, it's like, now michael avenatti's involved in this case. what do you say about that? >> i've been fighting against injustice for 18 years and i'm going to continue to do so and it just so happens that this president is constantly on the other side of the law and outside the bonds of the law and if i see something that bothered me that i think people need support and assistance, i'm

8:01 am
she lived in fear and the harassment did not stop with her. >> he's been threatening this paper for years. should the police have done more? >> my investigators came to a conclusion that carrying action further might exacerbate the situation. >> republicans are pushing for a quick nomination and confirmation process. they want to make sure that they take care of this while they still have a razor-thin majority in the senate. goal! >> colombia needing a win to move on. the header. check it out again. colombia! use of the noggindacoa i think colombia won that game. >> i think you're right. >> i'm bijana golodryga.
8:02 am
john is off and norah is in annapolis, maryland, where 38-year-old jarrod ramos has just been taken to court to face first-degree murder charges in yesterday's mass shooting at the "capital gazette" newspaper. police say he killed five people. at least four others were hurt. >> they range in age from 34 to 65 years old. their colleagues offered harrowing accounts of the attacks in their newsroom. one kept saying, i can't believe i'm going to die. >> the remaining staff members managed to publish this morning's paper as usual. norah o'donnell is outside the capital gazette offices in annapolis. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. the police chief tells cbs news this morning that they do believe the gunman acted alone. he also said that they have physically done everything they can with this crime scene behind us, but they still have a lot of
8:03 am
questions. the suspect has been held in the anne arundel county jail all night long but he's not cooperating with investigators. the shooting began around 3:00 p.m. police responded to the scene within 60 seconds. they were quick. they evacuated about 170 people from the building and took the alleged gunman jarrod ramos into custody without an exchange of gunfire. the anne arundel county police chief told us ramos bought this pump action shotgun he used in the attack within the last 18 months. now ramos has a history with the "capital gazette." he sued the newspaper for defamation in 2012. why? the paper published a story about ramos pleading guilty to harassing a woman he went to high school with. the case was later dismissed with the judge saying that ramos does not appear to have learned his lesson. so he got a big rebuke from the judge as well. there's a twitter page believed
8:04 am
to belong to ramos that includes doens of angry tweets about this case and the paper. chip reid spoke with brennan mccarthy, the lawyer who represented the woman ramos harassed in an interview you'll see only on "cbs this morning." >> he knew thou walk that line where it wasn't a direct threat. it was indirect reverential threat. when there was a reference it was on another thing. like i said, he's smart. >> so you knew he was dangerous? >> yes. >> your client knew he was dangerous but not -- a judge couldn't say he's so dangerous i'm putting him in jail? >> he didn't fit within the definition. it did not fit within the definition of a direct threat. you can keep getting away with it. this is why i said it was inevitable. something tragic was going to follow this man, and it did. >> a sponse to the attack, president trump tweeted my thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. former senior fbi profiler mary
8:05 am
ellen o'toole joins us now. she is the director of the forensic science program at george mason university. good morning. >> ing. >> he had been threatening this newspaper as far back at 2011. what clicked? what made him go off? >> there probably was numerous things that contributed to his decision to take this kind of action. it would not have been just one thing. so during the course of his filing that lawsuit and then losing the appeal in 2013, there were many influences for him. >> you called him a grievance collector. what is that? >> an injustice collector. that's someone that goes through life, it's a behavior that starts early. and they collect injustices, real or imagined throughout their life. the dangerous ones, though, respond disproportionately to what happened to them. and this certainly is a very dispurporoportionate response t what happened to him. >> he damaged his fingertips so
8:06 am
that he could nobt identified immediately. what does that tell you about him from a profiler's perspective? >> for one thing, it's very difficult if not close to impossible to destroy your fingerprints because fingerprint examiners can still get friction rich skin from other parts of your hand. so it tells me he did not investigate that very well. but it also tells me that that, along with not having an i.d. card, he wanted to make it difficult for police to identify him. >> you heard the lawyer for the woman who was harassed say this was inevitable. the executive editor who the suspect said he wished he was dead. this was years ago. the police knew he was threatening not only in person but online. >> you know, unfortunately, there are many people out there like this guy. and he stepped over the line. and right now any more we're seeing more and more people who are like this who are being fueled by things that appear in twitter and who have -- and appear online that are really
8:07 am
fueled and really helps contribute to their making a decision to act out. >> police found the suspect hiding under a desk. >> i read that. >> what does that say about his personality? >> two things. that suggests to me that he may want to -- he may have wanted to blend in with the rest of the people there and walked out. >> that was his way of evading capture. >> could have been. >> and also we have a semiautomatic rifle. he had a pump action shotgun. >> two possible reasons for that. a pump action shotgun is just a terrifying weapon. it doesn't -- it doesn't produce as much lethality, but perhaps he was concerned he was not able to purchase an automatic rifle. and that's why he fell back to the pump action shotgun. >> mary ellen o'toole, thanks for joining us. >> you're welcome. >> back to gayle in new york. >> so admire the people at the newspaper that said we are still putting out a damn paper tomorrow. when you think of, as you said
8:08 am
at the top of the show, this is the deadliest attack on u.s. journalists. you don't think you're in danger when you go to your job. you finishi think you think if you're covering a war area. you don't think you're in danger going to your office every day. that's why this is so troubling. >> troubling indeed and why you saw many of the news organizations step up their police presence certainly in new york and the washington, d.c., area, in light of this. >> thank you very much, norah. >> it doesn't help either to have the president of the united states saying the media is an yf the ople. to lead to one of the deadliest attacks. >> local newspapers like this are the heart and soul of communities. this newspaper was founded in the 1700s. it's not about politics. >> you heard the quick response. >> and the police said we know these reporters. we know them and like them. thank you very much norah o'donnell. more than 100 million americans will feel the effects of dangerous temperatures above 90 degrees by the end of this weekend. it's already hot here. lonnie quinn, chief weather

having this experience and speaking out. that was one of the reasons we wanted to tell that story. i started hearing from some of my sources very soon after the stories were published last fall. the aftermath is a complicated process. and we want to talk about that. one of our sources felt like the attention that came to her after she told her story, after she told the story, not even just the process of talking about it. and the people that came to her and wanted her help as a survivor. she said i needed mental health help to get through that. and another person said after years of going to therapy weekly, i realized what i needed to heal was this. talking about -- >> i don't need therapy anymore. >> so we heard a diverse array of reactions. and that was one of the things we wanted to highlight. people responded to this in so many different ways. and there were implications for their careers. mostly positive. not all. we had one woman drew dickson in the music industry who had to leave the music industry, basically forced out of it by some of this misbehavior.

and now she's back in the recording studio. >> she accused music mogul russell simmons of rape. he's denied the allegations. she says telling her story was like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. explain some of the changes she went through? >> she said she didn't even know how heavy that weight was until she put it down which was evocative. you don't even know what you're carrying in some cases, how big this burden is. and these people have sometimes kept this secret for sometimes 20, 30 years. and all of a sudden to see it exposed in this way, to see it on the front page of "the new york times" is a powerful moment in their lives. >> i'd like to know how you're hearing or what you're hearing from men, either men who were perpetrators or men who say that i'm now looking at this conversation and my actions differently. if that is the case. >> we're hearing very little from the perpetrators on the whole. with other men, there's a big difference between the public conversation and the private conversation. and in many ways it's the private conversation that is the
8:37 am
most powerful. we're hearing about lots of men, groups of men who have gotten together and just had, you know, really searching conversations of, have i ever done anything that's upset anybody? how would i even know about it? what is the set of rules that i grew up with, and how does that set of rules need to be revisited now? >> do you think men are still confused? >> that's certainly what we've been hearing. and one of the other reasons we decided to do this package is for people to understand what the stakes are in coming forward. what the effect is. what the effect of this behavior is. i think one of the things i heard in the fall when a lot of this reporting was going on is people not really understanding why women would want to come forward or what happened to them afterward. and that's what we wanted to talk about to see, this behavior impacts people for years sometimes. it might just be a moment in the office, a moment where you brush up against somebody at the coffee machine but that's something that sticks with somebody and changes their feelings about how their workplace and their professional

ambitions sometimes. so you have to think about all that conduct and the hope is that talking about this so much in the open this way will change people's ideas about what is and isn't acceptable behavior. >> people still wonder, is there a way for men to make amends and move forward so that they can recover or that they can return? i don't know if that is possible. >> it's a question a lot of people are asking. and it's -- you know, heartening to know there are some people telling their stories but so many afraid to tell their stories and afraid of repercussions. >> that's what we wanted to do. we wanted to give people out there a sense of if you actually go forward if you do the brave thing, here's the way you may feel afterwards. >> incredible reporting. jodi kantor and melena ryzik. ahead, john dickerson shares a personal essay on the need for civility in politics. what we should all remember as

8:43 am
politics, the fourth of july next week reminds us our origins were not civil. the tea party was no tea party. the founders knew we'd be uncivil and designed government to accommodate that. they also knew that incivility needed a purpose. the declaration of independence was an explanation of that original purpose written because jefferson wanted to show a decent respect to the opinions of mankind. if they were going to be uncivil, the declaration showed they still had respect for the larger audience. all of mankind. so the founders would ask of our present incivility, is it rooted in anything larger, or is it just impulse? point scoring? and power grabbing? >> she's a l al. >> when the president is uncivil, is it for a higher purpose, or is it confirmation that an impulsive president must be checked? >> they're not welcome. >> maxine waters rails, can we hear a universal value, or is

she just rallying the mob? this test can be applied to our chance at rallies and our behavior at restaurants, too. the fourth of july is not just a celebration, but an assignment. jefferson asked that the annual return of this day forever refresh our recollections of these rights and an undiminished devotion to them. listening to the founders might sound quaint while we're blow torching each other on twitter but even during america's most difficult time, abraham lincoln built the gettysburg address over those values in the declaration of independence. the founders knew we'd sometimes treat each other like dogs. because we're an example to the world that we'd all strive to do better. refreshing that faith is why wednesday should be more than just another day off. >> very good point. didn't your mom tell you guys when you were little two wrongs don't make a right? >> yes. >> and all this clamor and vitriol on both sides.

nobody is getting anywhere. >> you're right. there are some people who will say as we said earlier this week that dr. king said you can't fight hate with hate. others, though, will say, look, this is -- if you are continuing to give space to people who are intolerant, then ultimately tolerance will lose because the intolerance will continue to grow. >> i'm a firm believer a lot of it still comes from the top and that becomes something that the country sees and whether they are conscious or subconsciously starting to act that way, i think we're seeing some of it again. there's an extra burden. forget politics. extra burden for our leaders. >> and they can -- >> you're so right. forget politics. >> and they can learn from our leaders like thomas jefferson and abraham lincoln and john dickerson. >> nicely done. right on point. >> and if you want to hear more of cbs this morning on our podcast on itunes and we talk about public genealogy databases
