>> i'm laughing at them. >> who? >> the people asking that question. of course, you know, if everybody attacks that gunman, he is not going to be able to kill everybody, but if you sit there and let him shoot you one-by-one, you're all going to be dead. >> reporter: when asked if he was judging victims he was asked to look at the big picture. >> not judging them at all but these incidents continue to occur. i doubt that this will be the last one. >> reporter: he also appeared on abc's "the view" where he reiterated that kindergarten teacher should have a gun. >> how fast can that teacher go to the locked draw and get that gun? >> i want that teacher trained. >> you want that teacher trained? >> i want that teacher trained

bordering bash al assad's stronghold. holly williams is tracking this. >> reporter: there are unconfirmed reports that that a ground assault by syrian regime troops backed by an intense wave of russian air strikes is targeting syrian opposition forces. russian air strikes have pounded syria for a week. russia joined the syrian conflict saying it would target isis. but many of the locations moscow said it's hit are no the in areas controlled by isis militants. with war planes and helicopter gunships, the u.s. says what moscow is really doing is propping up the syrian regime by attacking some of its opponents including some groups linked to al qaeda and syrian monitoring group says russian air strikes are killing dozens of civilians.

but as to refute that claim, russia released this drone video which it says shows the russian military carefully tracking, but not targeting isis vehicles, as they drive through a civilian area and park beside a mosque. russian media also broadcast this video with a commander showing what he claimed were two accurate hits on isis munition dep podepots. neighboring turkey says russian war planes have twice violated its air space. nato chief jens stoltenberg -- >> this is what we suspected and afraid of. that incidents, accidents may create dangerous situations. >> reporter: with russia seeming

six days into the search for "el faro." the coast guard is becoming pessimistic about finding survivors. >> everything inside of me says my daddy is coming home. >> reporter: karla newkirk's father larry davis is one of the 33 missing. he has been "el faro"'s look out but spent the last 20 years on the water as a merchant marine. >> that is his second home. >> reporter: last thursday, the ship's crew sent out a distress signal. the ship had lost power and propulsion and in the eye of hurricane joaquin was bearing down. were you worried? >> no. i've heard the stories of him being in storms out there on the ocean but, you know, he has always come home. i need him to come home and tell this story. this is a story that i need for him to tell knee now. >> reporter: critics, including some families of the missing crew, have questioned captain michael davidson's decision to continue the ship's route into a storm growing stronger.

>> those ships certainly have the fuel range capable of going around and going around big to minimize the damage due to weather issues. >> reporter: some of them have come to terms of a likely outcome. >> you don't go through a hurricane like that and survive. >> reporter: but karla newkirk clings to hope. >> i just know my dad and he's a fighter and i just know that if there is any way, if god has granted any miracle to my family and to my father, he's still out there. >> reporter: the u.s. coast guard could decide as soon as today whether to end the search for survivors. they have scheduled a meeting with crew families for noon today. charlie. >> mark, thanks. this morning, two of the biggest names in fantasy sports are scrambling to clean up their imageage. new york's attorney general is looking into whether employees at draftkings and fanduel have an unfair advantage at winning prizes by using their company's data. nfl owner jerry jones and robert kraft are both investors in

draftkings. cbs news legal expert rikki klieman is here. >> good morning. >> reporter: >> you say this is a smart move by the attorney general? >> really smart. he got there first because you're hearing noise from representatives and senators all the way up to harry reid that they want to investigate, from the ftc. eric sniderman got there first. why is this smart? well, what happens in fantasy football is this. originally it was a year-long game, a season long game. so that didn't seem so harmful. it was exempt from the 2006 unlawful internet gambling act because it was looked at still not simply champ. but now what has happened in fantasy football is you can make a lot of money because it's daily and it's weekly. so if you're an employee on one of these sites, and you bet on the other site and you just happen to have a good weekend where you make $315,000, that smacks of impropriety.

not power. we don't like insider trading. the same thing when we don't like it on wall street. we don't like the idea that an employee of one of these sites might have inside information that they can use to their advantage on another site. >> what if there are no regulation? >> there wasn't regulation in this industry simply because it was exempt. so the industry says, okay, we will regulate ourselves. we know what happens when that occurs. so what everyone else is saying now is, like, no, no, no, no. you can't police yourself. we are going to go out and police you. it is not going to be any more that someone who appears to have knowledge can be able to bet on the other site. i mean, what were they thinking? none of these people should have been able to bet. >> what is going to happen now? >> i think the danger is ultimately big-time regulation and if it goes further, the danger could really be

indictment. >> rikki klieman, thank you very much. ahead, how sin city is trying to reinvent itself to attract a new generation of gamblers. >> i'm ben tracy in las vegas, where some people are betting the future of gambling looks a whole lot more like a video game. we will show you the technology they hope to lure young people into the casinos coming up on "cbs this morning. announcer: this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by voya. changing the way you think of

nice pass. safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, 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, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for 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 kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. you know xarelto® is the #1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. that's a big win. it is for me. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto®... ...was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®.

that is threatening the water supply. 375,000 people here in columbia, despite the lingering dangers, people are slowly, slowly, starting to go back to their homes, at least to look at what the damage is and they -- it is expensive, we are told. more than 250 roads and bridges remain closed statewide. which is making it tough for people to even get back home. here is the deal for today. there are expecting sunshine, but the threat for the remainder of the week will be the potential for dam failures. we have also just confirmed that earlier this morning, a road, a driver went around a barricade. a truck was washed away. three people were rescued but, we have just confirmed two people are missing. >> oh, my goodness. a reminder not to go around those barricades. they are there for a reason. david, thank you so much for your reporting all this week. this morning, one of the leading republican presidential candidates, dr. ben carson, is facing controversy over comments he made about the oregon school

shooting. >> i would not just stand there and let him shoot me. i would say, let's attack him. he may shoot me but he can't shoot everybody. >> a new poll shows carson in second place to donald trump. he is out with a new book called "a more perfect union what the people can do to reclaim our constitutional liberties." it covers gun rights to freedom of religions. we are pleased to welcome dr. carson to studio 57. good to have you here. >> thank you. >> what did you mean i would not just stand there? >> i want to plant in people's minds what to do in a situation like this. because unfortunately, this is probably not going to be the last time this happens. >> do you believe the victims in oregon just stood there? >> from the indications that i got, they did not rush the shooter. the shooter can only shoot one person at a time. he cannot shoot a whole group of

people. and so the idea is overwhelm him so everybody doesn't get killed. >> do you know who chris mintt is? >> no. >> chris mints a an army veteran and rushed the shooter so someone did actually act heroic. >> that is exactly what should be done. if everybody does that, the likelihood of him killing as many people diminishes. >> you're being accused this morning of being insensitive to the victims because you don't know what you'll do if, got forbid, you're ever in that situation. how do you respond to that? >> i respond to that saying we live in a culture that people decide everything you say, we need to set up battle lines and we need to get on this side of it or that side of it. rather than collectively trying to figure out how we solve the problem. it's sort of an immature attitude but it seems to be

something in america today. >> the question is what do we do about it? everybody expects it to happen again. the president says it's become routine. how does the nation come to grip with this? it's a combination who have is doing it, access to weapons, and the opportunity. >> well, you know, in medicine, we have a tendency to make decisions based on evidence, not on ideology. let's say this were a disease. what we would be saying is let's take each one of these shooters and let's go back and let's study their lives, and let's see if we can see some commonlia commonliality. are there early warning signals for people like this so we can begin to identify them and intv intervene before the tragedies occurs. >> how would you do that, number one? and, secondly, once you begin to see a pattern, how do you make sure that that pattern will help you lead to the next potential

incident? >> i think we have to, for instance, empower the psychologists and number these cases. these people have already been working with mental health professionals, but nothing was done about it. and we have to be able to move to the next step, not just recognizing that they are mentally ill, but being able to take the appropriate interventional steps. >> should there be new laws for people to purchase guns? >> for people who have been declared dangerous individuals by a mental health professional, absolutely we should be looking for a mechanism to keep dangerous weapons out of their hands. now, you know, we need to study all of the possibilities and we cannot do anything that compromises the second amendment, but as long as we keep in mind we don't want to compromise the second amendment, but we also want to keep

dangerous weapons out of the hands of dangerous people, that m >> they weren't talking about the ak 47s and high-powered rifles we have today in the second amendment. you wrote that ban on military assault weapons is a good idea but now you've changed your mind. what changed your mind? >> you'll also see that i talk about the fact that they recognize that things would change. that we would become a more modern society and face different situations, but we had to recognize that it was the principles that were important. so what were the principles of the second amendment? and those principles were we wanted to make sure that the people had the ability to assist the military in case of an invasion and that the people also had the ability to protect themselves from an overly aggressive federal government. that was a very important part

of the reason for it. now, obviously, if we say, well, we are talking about muskets, so, yeah, you can have a musket, but as we advance in terms of our weaponry you can't have any of those things. that violates the principle. >> michael bloomberg, a former mayor, is close to the university john hopkins. he has become a very, very strong advocate for gun control. what is it that he doesn't understand that you understand? >> well, i think we ought to get him to answer that question. >> but let me get with you first and then i'll go to him. >> what i understand quite vividly is what daniel webster said. daniel webster said america will never suffer under tyranny because the people are armed. that's what i understand. so i don't want to see tyranny occur here. adams also said that there may come a time when we do not have

good people at the helm of our country. we can't always assume that it's going to be that case. >> you've criticized president obama who is going to oregon on friday to meet with some of the victims' families. you said it's becoming a political issue. can you change this conversation without politicizing it? >> first of all, let's set the record straight. what i was asked if i were president, would i go? and i said, no, not if it was going to open wounds and inflict, you know, a lot of controversy, i would not. i said i would have probably lots of other things on my schedule that i could do. but the other thing -- this is important. the other thing is i don't think i would have the pushback if i were president because i wouldn't be picking and choosing which groups i sympathize with. i would have gone to the family that was killed by illegal

aliens. you have to be compassionate to everybody. you don't pick and choose who you're going to be compassionate to. >> if you were, in fact, president could play a role and express the nation's grief in going to oregon, you would be pleased to do that and you would object a president whose effort is to console the griever of a nation and the families who have been suffering? >> i wouldn't object to such an objection. >> thank you, dr. carson. >> thank you, dr. ben carson. his book "a more perfect union" is on sale right now. gue

whenclots in my lung,with blood it was serious. fortunately, my doctor had a game plan. treatment with xarelto®. hey guys! hey, finally, somebody i can look up to... ...besides arnie. xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. xarelto® is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem.

for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there's limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. you know, i tried warfarin, but the blood testing and dietary restrictions... don't get me started on that. i didn't have to. we started on xarelto®. nice pass. safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, 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, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for 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 kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. you know xarelto® is the #1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. that's a big win. it is for me. with xarelto®

there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto®... ...was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®. ♪ ♪ how in the world did it go so wrong ♪ ♪ i was cooking good for you and your friends on the weekend ♪ >> maddie and tae went to the top of the country charts.
