chris kyle and his friend chad littlefield. the jury rejektsed the defense claims that routh was insane at the time of the killings. chad's mother, judy littlefield spoke after the verdict. >> we waited for two years for god to get justice for us on behalf of our son and as always god has proved to be faithful. >> this morning we have a dramatic new look at what unfolded in the courtroom. manuel bojorquez is in the courtroom with what has happened in texas. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it took the jury just over two hours to reach a verdict. for the first time you'll get to hear what happened inside the courtroom including testimony and evidence as judge's restriction on use of audio has now been lifted. >> we the jury find the defendant eddie ray routh guilty. >> eddie ray routh appeared to show no emotion as the verdict was red. chris kyle's brother and parents

embraced outside a courtroom soon after. kyle's mother was not in the courtroom. she was overcome with emotion during closing arguments and could be heard abruptly leaving the courtroom. she did not return. during the trial prosecutors asked her to testify about her life with kyle. >> that's chris, me and our son. i found out i was pregnant with our daughter. >> reporter: she was emotional when she described the last time she saw kyle alive. >> we said we loved each other and gave our kids a kiss and a hug like we always did. >> the defense claimed. the subject of american sniper. he had agreed to spend the day with the troubled marine and took him to a shooting range.

routh's attorney said he suffered from schizophrenia. >> he killed those men because he had a delusion. in his mind he believed they were going to kill him. >> but prosecutors pointed to several key provide owes refuting that claim, including this dash cam footage which showed routh leading police on a high-speed chase after the shootings and a videotaped confession where he was asked if he knew right from wrong. and this video of routh in the back of a patrol car after his arrest. >> i've been so schizophrenic all day that i don't know what to think. i don't know if i'm sane or insane. i don't even know what's sane in the world right now. >> reporter: after the verdict was read the judge immediately sentenced routh to life in prison with without the possibility of parole. prosecutors were not seeking the death penalty in this case. routh's attorneys are expected to appeal the conviction. charlie?

>> manuel thanks. cbs news legal analyst rikki klieman is here. good morning. >> good morning. >> you're not surprised by the verdict. >> no, i'm not. i'm surprised by the speed in which it took. nonetheless what you have in this case, although the defense put up a good show of schizophrenia backed up by really solid evidence that what you still had in the case were a psychiatrist and psychologist and that o, so important jury instruction and argument about voluntary intoxication voluntary drug use the morning of the event, and that that's what caused the psychosis, if there was psychosis. voluntary intoxication knocks out the insanity defense. it's gone. >> but as you said they put on a very compelling case. it seems if anyone was crazy, it would a pie to be eddie ray routh. >> if you look at his motive according to the prosecution, it is crazy. crazy, that is they didn't talk to me and they took me for a

hamburger and i blew them away or they were half big, half people, and that they were going to kill me if i didn't kill them. either way that's crazy. crazy, however does not equal insane under the law because if you knew right from wrong, you are still convicted. >> did the movie impact the trial, do you think? the "american sniper" movie. >> i believe the defense thinks it did impact the trial. they raised that in their motion for change of venue and delay. you can bet your bottom dollar they lodged this appeal and in that appeal, that's going to be one of the big issues. >> he will not face the death penalty. >> no. it was taken off the table but the prosecution to start. as i said it was a smart move. it gave the jurors a very narrow place to go a high bar when it comes to texas and really simply, life in prison without parole, done immediately after

the verdict. >> yeah. there was a tweet this morning that says, texas, swift, just, and sure. a lot of people feel that way about that verdict. thank you, rikki klieman. this morning storms across the south. warnings up are up from texas to virginia. schools are closed in atlanta and hundreds of other communities. drivers aren't ft. worth are dealing with freezing rain. parts of texas will face sleet and snow today. the cold in the north is creating more ice in the rivers around new york city. jericka duncan is south of rochester where a fountain looks more like an ice volcano. jericka, you get to go to all the great places. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, gayle. i've always said working in western new york it's prepared me well for these particular assignments but we've had record cold temperatures, as low as 7 degrees. this is the coldest on record. but all of the cold has created things like this this magnificent ice sculpture if you

will. underneath it is a fountain. that's about 25 inches high. what it does is crees a channel of water that freezes on top of more snow and ice until you reach heights like this. i want to show you a different angle of this fountain. again, all the snow and ice impacted on the side. you can see how tallit is about 50 feet high. the fountain has been here since about the 1950s and in that time it does not reach that height very often. of course, because of the cold temperatures, if you look closely at the top, you can see the water spewing out of the top, only making this fountain grow higher and higher. officials will be out here later today to measure just how height is. charlie? >> jericka, thanks. the icy weather on the coast of maine is swal leeing up lobster boats. some of the fishermen have not been out for weeks. meteorologist danielle niles of our boston station wbz is tracking the weather.

danielle good morning. >> charlie, good morning. it doesn't look like we're shifting heading into early march. temperatures below average expected across the plains. the exception along the gulf coast. speaking of the gulf and the southern plains we're tracking the storms coming out of texas. serious concerns with a flooding threat for severe weather. snow on the northern side will cripple travel and that will spread to areas of the mid-atlantic with several ifrmgnches expects sed tomorrow morning. >> thank you. a driver of a hit-and-run faces felony charge this morning. the impact injure 25d people. it left three trains on their side. omar villafranca is in oxnard where the train made its last stop just before the collision. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. members of the national transportation safety board have

been documenting scenes. they'll send it to their lab for analysis in washington, d.c., but they're hoping to get more interviews from the train crew and the driver of that truck. federal officials say the fiery train collision happened 80 feet from the rail crossing, suggesting the truck traveled down the track. >> it was not stuck, bottom down on the track or something. it had actually traveled down the railroad track itself. >> reporter: police say 54-year-old jose alessandro ramirez said he abandoned his truck after he made a wrong turn and got stuck. the police spotted him about a mile and a half away from the scene. >> he appeared to be out of breath and on the phone. >> reporter: railcars were left scattered as the 51 people on board scrambled to get out.

>> we went at a 45-degree angle and the lights all went out and stuff started flying everywhere. people's baggage, people flying everywhere pet it was crazy. >> reporter: ted malone said he was on his way to work when he saw the fireball and went for help. what did it sound like? >> it was very quiet. one gentleman stood up and pointed to lady and said this woman is bleeding in the back of her head. another woman, i covered her up with a coat. >> reporter: a new commuter railcar was enhanced to save lives. >> i think we can say the technology worked. it definitely minimized the impact. it would have been a very serious collision. >> reporter: a lawyer for the truck driver maintains that his client was stranded on that track, and it has been a problem in the past for other truck drivers. he said santos ramirez when he tried to move his vehicle and couldn't because he saw the

train coming he left to get help. >> thank you. this morning theysouthwest has an agreement. they grounded 128 planes one-fifth of its fleets. the airline failed to check a backup rudder system on the boeing 757. the faa will allow southwest to fly the jets while inspections are completed over the next five days. >> this morning the outlines of hillary clinton's possible white house bid are coming into focus after her first domestic issue of the year. nancy cordes is in washington with how clinton is sharpening her message. nancy, good morning. >> good morning. clinton has been keeping kind of a low profile as she lays the groundwork for a possible run. but over the next few weeks she's got a series dedicated to women, something she lrjly

avoigted in her last campaign. >> our economy seems to still be operating like it's 1955. >> reporter: in the heart of silicon valley, clinton chastise chastised the tech industry for hiring fewer women and paying less and she took on regional family leave policies across the country. >> there are still too many women that want to earn more and work more but are held back by policies and pressures. >> reporter: women's issues aren't a new focus. as secretary of state she wagered for quality and education and got, she said a mixed reception. >> i could see men's eyes glaze over. i could see particularly foreign leaders, but some americans, too, saying, oh yeah here she goes. >> reporter: clinton downplayed gender in her first presidential run as she saw she was tough enough. this time she would likely highlight her experience as a mother and grandmother. >> she will be able to talk

about these issues not in the marginalized women's libya category as they may have been seen several years ago but as mainstream issues of economic security for all of our families. >> it would also be a way to set herself apart from what is currently an all-male republican field. >> but i'm my own man. >> reporter: in a q & a after a speak, clinton gave advice with how to deal with the old boy's club. >> try to think ahead of the smart thing you'll see if someone makes an offensive comment to you instead of what we all do, you sit in shock and then in bed at night say oh i wish i said this. >> you know you're pretty good at that actually. >> well, you know i've about had a lot of practice. >> we saw a laughing joking kind of relaxed clinton at that event, telling stories of her life as a lawyer and young mother. researchers say she's been

working with a marketing team to rebrand herself after decades in the spotlight and so far, gayle, that new brand seems to be more candid and more populist. >> thank you. that paves the way for the fcc to approve rules to support net neutrality. tomorrow they'll regulate the rules like a public you till. they would prevent companies from paying for faster internet speeds or lanes. >> new frustration this morning over the israeli's prime minister next week to washington. benjamin netanyahu declined senate democrats request to come. last night his visit was called disruptive. >> the relationship has always been bipartisan and we've been force gnat that pot ticks have not been injected into that relationship.

what has happened over the last several weeks by virtue of the invitation that was issued -- >> by the speaker of the house. >> -- and by the acceptance on it by benjamin netanyahu before the election i thit's not only unfortunate but disruptive of the fabric of the relationship. >> secretary of state john kerry said he will not be in attendance. critics sayet could allow iran to build a nuclear bomb in ten years. margaret brennan is at the state department. good morning. >> good morning. with just five weeks until a self-imposed deadline the obama administration is fiercely guarding against what some see as israeli attempts to sabotage a deal with iran. before koj yesterday, secretary of state john kerry said he is

making progress on a deal. it would halt iran's nuclear program for at least a decade. but he implored congress not to judge an agreement until it's complete. and we know next week he will meet again with iran's top nuclear negotiator. but at the very same time israel ease prime minister will personally lobby congress to slap more sanctions on iran a move that would scuttle awe of these negotiations. and what israel washlgs is a weak deal. as it stands the agreement would stop short of dismantling iran's nuclear program. instead they say it would dramatically slow down iran's ability to make nuclear fuel for at least ten years and also give the world advance notice if tehran tries to build a bomb. so today expect secretary kerry to get more tough questions on capitol hill because congressmen want any detail of these sensitive talks.

gayle? >> thank you, margaret. this morning four wesleyan students are expected in court to face drudge charges. they were arrested over a string of overdoses at the campus over the weekend. 11 students who took the party drug molly received medical attention. one is still in critical condition this morning. and it is 7:19. ahead, blown free throws intentional

direct of affairs is apologizing. he made the erroneous claim while speaking to a veteran last month on cbs news. >> army? navy? what unit. >> special forces. >> i was with special forces. >> i'm actually touched that mcdonald lied to try to connect with the homeless as opposed to the much more prevalent, no i don't have any money. >> that's an interesting point. >> yeah, i agree with him because he was trying to make a connection to him. i feel bad for him.

>> and the 82nd airborne is not a bad unit. >> that's right. coming up they beg for help but whistle-blowers say how thousands of pleas went unanswered. wyatt andrews talks to insiders and the widow who suffered a tragic delay. on a bath court how basketball players tried to toss away a win on purpose. that story ahead. the "los angeles times" says the united states is offering the biggest reward ever this morning in a cyber crime case. $3 million will be paid for the arrest of a russian hacker who allegedly stole $100 million from american bank accounts. britain's "guardian" talks about it accord to the

"guardian" there are no official recordings. some have been held for up to 24 hours even those as young as 15. chicago police deny the claims in the article and say the facility operates within the law. the "washington post" says the senior state department official is behind bars today charged with soliciting a minor for success. daniel rosen was arrested. rosen is director of programs and policy at the state department's bureau of counter counterterrorism. and "usa today" says the veterans affairs is owning up to his mistake. robert mcdonald's flub answered while cbs camera was rolling. he told a home else veteran in a "cbs evening news" story with john blackstone that he served in special services but he never did. >> in an attempt to connect with that veteran to make him feel

comfortable, i incorrectly stated that i, too, had been in special forces. that was wrong and i have no excuse. we at v.a. are working hard to restore trust, and, again, i apologize to those who may have been offended by my misstatement. >> and this morning secretary mcdonald is facing a new challenge. it comes after last sum 'eers scandal at a phoenix v.a. hospital. it was revealed there was widespread appointment wait times. wyatt andrews is in washington with our investigation. wyatt, good morning. >> good morning. you know the veterans benefit side of the v.a. pays out $5 billion a year. that's in disability benefits, pensions, and even the american flags that veterans receive at their funerals but our investigation has found widespread mismanagement claims

denying the veterans what they've earned with many dying before v.a. gets around to answering the claim. >> why would they take ten years to send me a letter. >> reporter: dory says this letter obtained by cbs news claiming how badly the claims system is broken. it's dated july 29 2014 thanking her for her husband's service in 2004. thing on thing is he died from an accident seven years ago without hearing a word from the v.a. does this upset you? >> it upsets me. why would you after all these years send a letter to a deadman? >> reporter: five whistle-blowers at the oakland, california, veterans benefits office tells cbs news stafford's claims is one of more than 13,000 claims files between 1996

and 2009, all of which were stashed in a file cabinet and ignored until 2012. in it are claims from veterans expressing a desire to apply for benefits and by law the v.a. must respond with an application. >> we were getting letters from elderly veterans and for widows who were literally at the end of their life begging for help. >> reporter: rusty ann brown was part of a team finally assigned to process those claims two years ago and the job began she says, with a disturbing discovery. >> half of the veterans were dead that i screened so almost every other piece of paper that i touched was a veteran who had already passed away. >> and so that means this veteran died waiting for their first answer. >> correct. >> from the v.a. >> correct. >> reporter: but whether the veteran was dead or still alive brown says v.a. supervisors in oakland ordered her to mark the

claim nos action necessary and toss them aside. whistle-blowers say that was illegal. >> they wanted you to hide them? >> absolutely. the v.a. didn't help them. the v.a. didn't care about them. they took them put them in a file and stuffed them away. >> 13,184 veterans waiting for answers. >> begging for help. >> she said she was taken off the project. and this past summer brown and another former employee found a cart full of those same claims ignored yesterday again. >> we pulled 15 indiscriminately to look at just 15. eight of them were owed money. one was owed $36,000. >> and this was a year ago. >> this was just a few months ago. >> a few months ago. >> reporter: last week the v.a. in spelkter general confirmed that because of poor record-keeping in oakland,

veterans did not receive benefits to which they may have been entitled. how many is not known because thousands of the records were missing when the inspectors arrived. lost claims and missing records are a problem nationwide. in the last year the i.g. has found serious issues in at least six v.a. benefits offices including unprocessed claims documents in philadelphia. 9,500 records sitting on desks in baltimore and computer manipulation to make claims look like they were completed when they were not. >> they owed him an answer? >> yeah they owe him a stafford. >> dory stafford now lives in the hills with friends in northern california with no electricity. it doesn't just harm the veteran. it could also hurt the family. typically a surviving spouse is offered a american flag help with burial or modest pension, but none of that happens if

there was no fire. >> i wasn't even aware there was widow benefits i wasn't. >> even if it was a modest pension. >> even a modest pension. even $400 a month. it would so help. >> reporter: to the whistle blowers, they all raised serious questions as to whether the v.a. is accurately reporting the true number of disability claims. >> when they hid all of these thousands of claims that was not in the backlog. >> oh no. >> it tooing the claims out of the backlog. >> they were never in the backlog. >> are you saying part of the reason to hide them was to not have them show up in the system at all. >> yes, sir. >> the v. achlt declined an on camera interview. it blamed that on the transition from a mail-base system to a new electronics system. the v.a. said in this statement, electronics claims processing has transformed benefits greatly

minimizingny risk of delays due to lost or misplaced mail. as for the backlog, the v.a. is promises to physician any problem that comes to its attention. quote, for any deficiencies identified steps are taken to appropriately process the documents and correct any deficiencies. norah? >> it's so important. what do you think this means for the backlog? >> well norah, will it's take what secretary mcdonald said yesterday where he claim thad the backlog has been reduced by 60% to roughly r5500,000. give the v.a. a. credit. everybody tells us they're stepping up the processing of claims. i'm talking about whistle blower grews. they say they've lost inted grit in how they tabulate these claims starting with the number of claims they outright conceal or simply aren't counting.

as bracketology saw they only had one option. to lose. >> terrible sport ssmanship by both teams. >> reporter: it was a competition to see who could play the worst basketball. aimless dribbles missed baskets, and obvious slow play. with a score of just 28-24 in the third quarter just before player was about to attempt a shot into the wrong basket the referees called the coaches to the sidelines. bernard childress, executive director of tennessee secondary school athletic association launched an investigation into the foul play. >> we started getting e-mails and calls saying that no one was trying to win the game two teams were actually trying to lose the game. >> reporter: the smir ta team eventually won, 55-29. the thrown gram is now on the radar of the national sports media. >> kids at that age are going to do what they're told.

it doesn't matter how silly it is. >> reporter: on monday principals from both schools met with the tennessee secondary school athletic association and that they only remove the coaches. >> they took responsibility for it and they were very apologetic for what actually went on. >> reporter: the athletic association found that while the coaches may not have explicitly told the teams to lose they did clearly explain the advantages of not winning. >> i feel bad for the girls who were put in that position and will obviously lose something, but you never know what lessons can be taught from this. >> reporter: in separate letters to the schools the association said the teams made a mockery of the game and included notes from a referee who thought riverdale's players intentionally missed between 12 and 16 free-throws. >> when we determined that that was -- this was tote aally out of

the spirit of fair play and not a message we wanted to say and they did milwaukee a mockery of the game. >> now both teams have been placed restrictive probation for the remainder of the season and both schools were fined $1,500. norah. >> don thank you. >> bad. >> bad. >> i love that they didn't tell them to lose. they just told them the advantages of not winning. >> always play to win. always play to win. >> always. this morning we'll show you how to save money for the big events in our lives. plus

the brand is going to go. >> reporter: while major retailser like target and old navy have added plus size it's high end fashion that has lack. she'll be launching a new bathing suit line. this one averageds about 120 bucks. that's great. >> i like that little fringe number. that's nice vinita. the price point for dresses is very reasonable. she's got coot stuff. >> thank you vinita. your phone will soon become more diverse with new emojis. ahead, why not echbl is texting a thumbs-up. you're watching "cbs this morning." yesterday apple announced that at long last they're putting out what they call diverse emoji, black guy, slightly black guy, brownish guy, white guy i don't know who this guy is to be honest with you and pacman colors guide. there you go. racism is officially over.

same way as heroin and cocaine do. our own dr. holly phillips joins us this morning. good morning. >> good morning. >> what do these studies tell us? >> they involve about 500 people. researchers ask them about their ought attitude. specifically how they felt afterward like losing control and then they honed in on which foods people thought caused them the most problems. >> i know potato chips is on the list. it is not american to eat just one. are they on the list? >> they are. they're in the top five. pizza, chips, cookies. this isn't surprising. these are foods that are heavily processed, high in fat and sugar and refined carbohydrates. importantly they also have some called a high glycemic load and this is in part a measure of how fast and intently the foods raise your blood sugar. that's important because that

acts on reward centers in the brain and directly affected cravings. >> but it's different than drug addictions, isn't it? >> it is. in fact the term sits a little bit controversial. we can't equate it with drugs because for instance we know drugs, say heroin permanently change the wiring of the brain. drugs make permanent structural changes in your branl that cannot beery versed. but on the other hand we do know some foods act on neurotransmitters in our brain like dopamine. and even in studies, elaborates develop bingeing and addictive patterns around double stuffed oreos. so there might be some links, but the science is still kind of out there. >> how do you know if you're addicted? >> well, you know, there's something called the yale food addiction survey. you can ask yourself questions specific how often do you eat more than you plan to. do you plan to keep eating even though you're not hungry do you

eat until you feel ill. according to this survey, 5% to 10% of americans have some amount of what they call american addiction. >> eat more than planned, keep eating while not hungry. dr. holly, i have a problem. i don't eat till i'm ill but i eat when i'm not hungry. you'll see something that's so good. you weren't planning to eat it but it looks so visually pleasing, you go, i've just got to taste it. that never happened to you? >> not that much. >> really? >> norah, that never happens to you? >> the want happens. but i do have the willpower. i do think there's something in cell biology and taste buds that changes and i think that's a very important thing to recognize. it's not just a willpower issue. things change in your cells the more you get attuned to certain types of foods. >> very much so and i think

you're touching on this hot button issue. that's why food addiction is such a topic now. the question is if certain foods are addictive, do food manufacturers play a role? should they be held account snbl we know they should get exactly the right mix of fat and chemicals. should they be accountable to us. >> the brain is a powerful thing. >> we have to go. we're learning so much about addiction and aggression in terms of the brain's chemistry. >> it's not an official diagnosis. got it. >> if you want to know whether you're addicted to food, we invite you to go to cbsnews.com and take the quiz. all right. you'll soon be able to say more in text messages without words. amid criticism over a lack of races represented. cbsn's vladimir duthiers shows us how the pictures have

the add vent of smartphones and young ones communicates. >> they're popular particularly in mobile communication because it's about a shift toward doing conservational interactive communication over text messaging. >> reporter: because emojis do what text can't, they replace the written word with a symbol or better yet a combination of the 722 symbols. so i'm laughing so hard i'm crying simply becomes this or to say i'm taking the train to my parents house, you might send this use of images and their use keeps evolving. >> and the key to this is time. time, time time. >> science guru bill nye used it to teach of all things evolution. emoji's replaced beyonce in a verpgs of her hit single "drunken love."

and there was created emoji dick. now they're going beyond it used personalized avatars. >> it's a lot of emotional nuance that's missing. we add that and add you to it that makes it much more personal visual. >> celebrities like seth rogan, brittney snow and queslo have created their own. even if journalists are a bit mowgy fans including yours truly. remember it's just in its infancy. >> once you see emoji percolating in more diverse graphics in this country and other parts of the world, we're likely to see new and interesting ways to communicate with them that may be unexpected. >> and watch out, kids. parents are already glomming onto the emoji craze

in a race, it's about getting to the finish line. in life, it's how you get there that matters most. like when i found out i had a blood clot in my leg. my doctor said that it could travel to my lungs and become an even bigger problem. so he talked to me about xarelto®. >>xarelto® is the first oral prescription blood thinner proven to treat and help prevent dvt and pe that doesn't require regular blood monitoring or changes to your diet. for a prior dvt i took warfarin, which required routine blood testing

and dietary restrictions. not this time. while i was taking xarelto®, i still had to stop racing, but i didn't have to deal with that blood monitoring routine. >>don't stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of dvt and pe, with no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for me. ask your doctor

about xarelto® today.

joosh duhamel and dean winters both made their mark on hollywood. josh went from a male model and dean was on. now they are teaming up in cbs's new crime drama. it's called "battle creek." >> you know that stuff you said in there about second chances. that's awfully personal. >> battle creek, it's a bluff. >> he gave up because it's up because it's. >> you're a good detective. >> and you, agent timberland you're the devil. >> we're thrilled to welcome

josh duhamel by phone. he's still trying to get here. hello, josh duhamel. >> hi josh. >> good morning, everyone. >> is that death music we hear? >> we were talking about you bad. dean just said duhamel is tardy for french. how close are you? >> yeah. i'm actually very close, so if you want to extend the interview by three or four minutes. >> yeah. keep trying to come because we'd love to see you. but you're here in the chair. the show is called "battle creek" which i thought was an unusual name for a police drama because you think of l.a. new york. but battle creek? >> it sounds kind of trite but he was looking at a sear cal box and it was a frosted flakes bach and he said that would be a great place to set a crime scene show. >> battle creek, michigan.

>> he did the research on the town. it's one of these what was a thriving american industrial town that took a hit and detroit kind of being the greater example of that. so this is like a real microscopic look at one of these industrial towns that's going through a hard time. >> this is great. vince gilligan "breaking bad" and now making this show. >> you know when i got this -- when i got the first script it said vince gilligan david shore who did "house" and brian singer with the usual suspects. as an actor, it was a no-brainer. >> and you got sunday night placement which is huge on cbs. >> "60 minutes," "madam secretary," "good wife," and then us. so hopefully we won't fail. >> you play rough around the edges and josh plays what? the pretty boy -- >> super cop, comic book type.

>> this is how they describe you. you play good hard gruff, and strikingly hand millimeter charismatic milt chamberlain opens an fba field. >> i play this kind of crumpled detective who's had it seen it all, and tired. and to reinvague rate the department they bring in josh's character. he walks in. he's like a greek god and he represents everything that i hate and so it's really -- it's the first buddy cop show where i can think of where the two aren't buddies. we ee see how it takes. >> there's no bromance. >> off screen it's hard not to fall in love with him. he's a sweet guy, terrific person and a terrific actor. >> and he's late. >> he's late. like you said duhamel is french for tardy. he's a great guy to work with.

he's from north dakota and i'm from new york city. so we bridge those dynamics to the characters. you know josh has a real sense of midwest values that's really applaudable. >> you two didn't know each other. >> the first time i met him i was driving on manhattan beach and i literally came within two fight of killing him. i almost killed my co-star. it was a bromance at first sight. >> other than being in battle creek and other than you and josh having this relationship as cops, what's the hook for the series? >> well, you know, it's about a guy who refuses to kind of acquiesce and grow about about technology which is me. i'm refusing the new character. my character is from battle creek. he wants to make his town better and i'm not good at taking help from anyone. so that's kind of where the story comes in. it's about learning to get out of your comfort zone and to grow
