intentional. one person was killed and nearly 40 were hurt. the driver is in her 20s and had a 3-year-old child in the car. neither of them was hurt. witnesses said victims flew through the air and were dragged down the street. >> the violent rampage started near the planet hollywood resort and reached the paris hotel and casino. the driver who is in custody drove off the street and onto the sidewalk several times. las vegas police ruled out terrorism. presidential candidate bernie sanders has suspended two campaign staffers this morning for the misuse of democratic party voter information. the campaign's data director was fired last week. a glitch in the party's voter database allowed them to read hillary clinton's private campaign data. sanders apologized to clinton at saturday's democratic debate, but the candidates did focus mainly on gun control, donald trump, and isis. >> number one, our goal is to crush and destroy isis. >> we heard from the senator just this week that we must put

the second breach that the dnc vendors have allowed to happen. what we are asking for now is a thorough investigation with the dnc from day one of these campaigns to see what the implications of these breaches have been. or have information, in fact, go both ways. i don't know if that is the case but a possibility. the bottom line is the first time there was a breach when we had access to clinton's camp information, our people said, this is wrong, this is crazy. they went to the dnc. the second time, we had at least one staffer who did not do the right thing and that person is gone. we have suspended several others. but we certainly want to get to the bottom of this. we are working with the dnc to make sure that we have all of the information and we do not want these breaches from dnc vendors to take place again. but i believe that the action of the dnc to basically shut us off from all of the information that

we have put into that base, the life blood of our campaign, was totally inappropriate. that is an issue we continue to deal with them on. >> senator sanders, i want to ask you about donald trump asking for a new apology this morning. i'm sure you're well aware of what i'm speaking of. donald trump basically saying a reference him being a recruitment tool to isis should have never been a topic of this debate. >> let me say this about donald trump and what i said the other day. i fear that donald trump is doing a great disservice to our country internationally and standing for hatred for the united states all over the world and i have to say this. if you know me, you know, i am not the most partisan guy in the world and i don't like taking, you know, harsh attacks against my opponents but i think that donald trump is a pathological liar. when he goes before the american people and says he saw on a television screen thousands of people in new jersey standing up

and being so happy and celebrating 9/11 and the destruction of the twin towers, it never happened. it never happened. there is no -- >> what is your response to donald trump and hillary clinton should be apologizing? >> i think that donald trump, right now, i'll let hillary clinton deal with at. i think donald trump deserves to apologize to the american people. that is delusional. now either thousands of people in new jersey was standing up and celebrating or they weren't. there is not any indication that that took place. any indication that he saw that on television and, yet, he goes around the country talking about it. that is doing a disservice to the muslim people of this country and our relationship with the muslim people all over the world. >> senator, the -- >> and he deserves -- >> senator the battleground tracker poll show you ahead in new hampshire. but trailing behind in some of the other states. we only have a few more weeks now until the iowa caucuses. what is your campaign going to do to set things up here and make a difference in the poll numbers? >> well, look.

if you remember that when i started this campaign 7 1/2 months or so ago, we were considered a fringe campaign, fringe candidate. i was 3% or 4% in the polls. nobody knew bernie sanders and who i am or believed in. talking about why the middle class is disappearing and massive wealth and income and inequality in america and corrupt campaign finance system that buys billionaires to buy elections. our campaign caught on. i think the latest polls has us up in new hampshire and have us not so far behind in iowa. we have a very strong grassroots movement in iowa and new hampshire of volunteers and paid staff and we are knocking on a lot of doors and making a lot of telephone calls. i tell you, i think we have a shot to win in iowa. i'm leaving for iowa in a few hours and we are going to be spending a lot of time in iowa and new hampshire the next five or six weeks. we are speaking to many, many thousands of people. a lot of excitement. if we can win in iowa, if we can win in new hampshire, i think we

are on our way to a national victory and one of the great political upsets in the history of america. look. people want a political revolution. people are tired of the top 1% getting it all and everybody else is getting poorer. people want real change and i think our campaign is a vehicle for that change. >> senator sanders is joining us live this morning. thank you so much. governor chris christie's campaign depends on voters in one state. major garrett is riding with the candidate this morning. >> reporter: chris christie has spent a lot of time on the roads of new hampshire and now he says it's finally paying off. the governor talks to us about his recent rise in the polls and what he has learned about running for the presidency. coming up on "cbs this morning."

stronger and safer community for everyone. >> you're not talking about setting up a network people can post more selfies. you're looking if you need to get rid of a couch, there are safety concerns in the neighborhood, those kinds of things? >> we are a social network but a social network about solving proble problems. it's about coming together with your neighbors to solve problems like finding a babysitter maybe more personal things like finding a lost dog or critical things like coming together in times of crime or natural disaster. >> how do you make sure the people using this are legitimate? >> well, nextdoor is a private social network and privacy to us means two things. the first thing you have to verify your address to join the service. so that when you go and talk with your neighbors you know they are your actual neighbors. the second thing about nextdoor is all of the conversations are private. you won't find them with a google search or shared on other social networks. we try to make it safe to share the sorts of things online you would feel safe sharing i don't have line.

>> i think something interesting in this app you suggest go next door and borrow a cup of sugar or something. what do you say to people this will allow people to isolate themselves even more? >> when we started the company, almost 30% of americans didn't know a single neighbor by name. part of the culprit was technology. technology in our busy lives. now technology can play a role in bringing back that sense of community and next door is an ice-breaker. not a replacement for the conversations that you have with your neighbors. it just makes it easy for those to happen. >> you actually are having partnerships with police departments in some communities. how does that work? >> one of the key cases for nextdoor is for neighbors to get together and create a virtual neighborhood watch to keep the neighborhood safer. one participate in those discussions needs to be the local police department. we have partnered with almost 1500 police departments across the country to create a great dialogue between neighbors and police to keep communities safer. >> how about neighborhoods behaving badly? can you potentially get banned from the site and do you watch

out for that kind of stuff? >> on nextdoor you have to use your real name and verify your address so the incentive to behaving badly is very, very low. at the same time, nextdoor is about solving problems so not about social things like gossip or getting to know your neighbors. it's about tapping into the power of the neighborhood. >> as with so many of these start-ups there is often criticism and one of the biggest criticisms for you guys there could be some component of racial profiling. you've been very avctive. u.s. we consider profiling to be unacceptable. how do you police that behavior? >> it's not up to us to police it but up to the neighbors. we made it clear that racial profiling is completely unacceptable on nextdoor. it hardly even happens but one occurrence is too many. we will do everything we can to remind our members that the constructive dialogue on nextdoor should stay civil and neighborly. >> how do you make money? >> we don't. we have been focused on creating the best member experience. we move forward to creating a business model we i think a

tremendous opportunity to connect neighbors and local businesses. >> you talk about you don't want these gossip sites. how do you prevent that? you're relying essentially on the community to police this system themselves. >> yeah. they don't really have to police the system. because the whole system is built to solve problems. it's about finding a babysitter, about getting rid of a used couch. it's about coming together if there are floods or fires. so the content itself doesn't really lend itself to gossip or people being nasty. the content lends itself to people coming together and helping each other to creating stronger and more tight-knit communities. >> we have heard a lot of about packages being stolen from porches around this time of the season especially. how does nextdoor help that? >> if your package has been stolen you can ask your neighbors if they have seen anything. if you know you're not going to be home when the package is being delivered you can ask a trusty neighbor to take possession of that package instead of you. >> it's a smart idea. it's nice. you should know your neighbors. >> i think it would be very

useful. >> thank you so much for your time. >> thanks for having me. homeland veteran damian lewis brings a different voice to drama but not this one. >> whoa! >> slamming me. lead you down to the rubber dub and ball and chain. >> up next, lewis
