7:01 am
he loved to make you laugh. but we begin this morning with today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> 59 missiles going off in space. >> president trump retaliates against syria. >> i ordered a military strike in syria from where the chemical attack was launched. >> moscow calling the air strike as violation of international law. >> he acted under his authority as commander in chief to target a place that killed babies and children and he made the choice. >> nunes steps down. mitch mcconnell on the nuclear options.
7:02 am
>> this was really the period of the end of the sentence. the united states senate is not what it once because. >> severe weather slammed the eastern half of the country. slammed trees into homes and knocked out power for thousands. >> hillary clinton gave her first interview since the election. >> as a person i'm okay. as an american, i'm pretty worried. >> all that -- >> he can't find the ball. >> it's stuck to his chest protector. >> i have never seen that before. >> charley hoffman takes the masters by storm. >> that was something special. >> and all that matters. >> funny thing about don rickles, the news that he died didn't make people cry. it made them laugh. >> i'm not too crazy about you. >> i know that. >> on "cbs this morning." >> they called him mr. warmth as a joke. that's what he was. he would always ask about my parents, my kids. he would always say keep my name
7:03 am
alive, which is funny because, you know, you're don rickles. you keep my name alive. welcome to "cbs this morning." don auld trump is facing his first international crisis and we know that because he sent a serious message to syria's president bashar al assad. american warships launched cruise missiles before dawn local time. the pentagon hopes the attack made it much harder for syria's president to use chemical weapons on his own people. >> u.s. warships in the mediterranean sea used 59 missiles. they pounded the air base. the president explained his decision late last night. >> tonight i ordered a targeted
7:04 am
military strike on the airfield in syria from where the chemical attack was launched. >> margaret brennan is with the president in florida. holly williams is in turkey. but we begin with david martin. he's at the pentagon. david, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the u.s. tried to avoid causing casualties, but there are reports of several dead following the early morning strike. the pentagon is still assessing the damage but believes it knocked the base out of commission. the pentagon spokesman said there is no need for further strikes unless syria once again resorts to chemical weapons. nearly 60 cruise missiles thunder toward a syrian air base just three days after the regime used chemical weapons in an attack against its own people.
7:05 am
tomaha tomahawk missiles were launched from two ships located in the mediterranean sea. the strike targeted shayrat airfield believed to be the point where the planes took off dropping sarin gas. the ammunitions, air defense systems, and air traffic control radar. the pentagon said the attack was successful and has rendered the airfield unusable. prior to 2013 the base located about 50 miles due south of the location of the gas attack had been used to store chemical weapons. but the u.s. did not target areas where remaining weapons might be stored. the strike comes 3 1/2 years after former president barack obama threatened military action against the assad regime. >> a red line for us is we start
7:06 am
seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons being moved around or utilized. >> but despite air strikes -- >> the threat would be to deter them from using chemical weapons. >> president obama backed off after president bashar al assad said he would back off using chemicals, a promise he didn't keep. >> reporter: the u.s. gave advance warning of the strike and the missiles did not target areas where they were believe to be levering. still president putin's is an ally of assad and the strook will almost certainly damage u.s./russian relations. norah? >> david, thank you. it marks a sudden shift by the u.s. administration. for years he said they should not take action and secretary rex tillerson said just last
7:07 am
week the syrian people will decide the future of assad. president trump is meeting with china's leader again today. margaret, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, president trump has shown he isling to use at least limited military action to enforce that red line against chemical weapons first drawn by his predecessor. the trump administration believes bashar al assad has used sarin gas in at least three attacks over the past two weeks. >> assad choked out the lives of helpless men, women, and children. >> in a late evening statement president trump said small children choking to death on gas moved him to action. >> it was a slow and brutal death for so many. even beautiful babies were cruelly murdered. >> reporter: the decision to strike was made after the president arrived thursday in palm beach for a summit with
7:08 am
chinese president xi jinping. before their dinner he consulted with national security adviser h.r. mcmaster and general mattis. he was considering action following wednesday's meeting with jordan's king. the president worried toxic agents could end up in the hands of terrorists and used that threat as justification for striking without the permission of congress. >> it is in this vital national security interest of the united states to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons. >> reporter: secretary of state rex tillerson said the sarin gauze was a violation of the deal between russia and u.s. brokered to have them hand over the stockpile. he said after president obama turned a blind eye to the repeated violations was not an
7:09 am
option for president trump. >> previousous attempts at changing assad's bafb have all failed and failed very dramatically. >> reporter: now, these syria strikes may help china's president zee jinping to gauge president trump'slei willingnes regarding north korea. next week he's supposed the fly to syria to discuss vladimir putin. >> holly williams is in istanbul, turkey, with the reaction. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. there are no surprises at all from syrian regime as well as its ally russia. they called the strike an active blatant aggression this morning and said it made the u.s. a
7:10 am
partner with isis and other terrorist groups. russia says the strikes violate international law based on a, quote, trump pretext. they deny there was a chemical attack on khan sheikhoun despite all of the evidence. israel and turkey support the strikes. here in turkey they're calling for more action with a no-fly zone in syria. we spoke with many rebel groups very happy to see u.s. military against the syrian regime because they hopet stops them from bombing them. we have senator marco rubio. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> my question is where do we go from here and what are the great risks many.
7:11 am
>> it's an important question, a good one. i believe this is the case, realizes that as long as bashar al assad is there, you're going the have isis oral al nusra. what are the risks? i think risks are an escalation. we don't know what the russians are going to do in response. so far it seems pretty measured but i certainly think if there's an effort to remove assad, they're going to get a little more aggressive. >> how would you remove him? >> first of all he has to be removed from a combination of syrians on the ground. not fighters or foreign forces. again, this reminds me of one those cage masters in professional wrestling. sometimes you fight each other and sometimes you turn on someone else. you have hezbollah, iran, syrian
7:12 am
forces, rebel groups that are nonjihadist and al nusra. ultimately you are to-to-have a sunni nonjihadist alternative and i hope the work begins to carve out a space for them to be able to grow and get more powerful so they can be a clear alternative to assad, whatever happens. hopeful hopefully negotiation, not continued bloodshed. >> he's killed 500,000 of his own people. 5 million have fled as refugee. e's gassed his own people including children. is bombing an airfield enough? >> well, in terms of retribution for what he's done, of course not. he's a war criminal and should be brought to inner national justice. >> are you concerned at all about a retaliatory strike? >> from syria? >> syria, russia, anyone.
7:13 am
>> yeah. well, first of all, syria doesn't have the potential. you do now have hundreds of americanas advisers on the ground. if assad is willing to use gas on his own people, he probably would use it on american people. >> why do you think he thought he would get away with it? >> that's a good question. they feel like they're losing territory. he's prepared to go all the way. he's not fwot nowhere else to go. for him it's a life or death situation. the other day i said i do believe when the sentiment is out there that somehow we have given up on efforts to remove him and, in fact, he's going to stay, do believe it gave him license or incentive to get away with something like this. i'm glad to see that changed. >> you think specifically the comments by secretary of state tillerson gave him license. >> again, i'm not saying that's
7:14 am
why tillerson said it. i'm saying that i believe it's not coincident tall. that he sees these statements out there and within a couple of days he takes action. the important point is that's not what they're saying anymore. they made it very clear last night. i'll say this. i know where the president was. but i don't think you could watch that press conference a couple of days ago where he was standing next o the king of jordan and not see that he was personally moved by the images me got. there's a different between being a president and candidate and having access to this information and having that on your shoulders. both in his statements and the press conference, i think you saw a person, a human being, our president, donald trump, who was deeply impacted, as we all were. >> thank you so much, senator. pleasure to have you this morning. >> thank you. in the next half hour mike morrill and fran townsend join us. they look at the impact of last
7:15 am
night's missile strike and what could happen next ahead on "cbs this morning." this morning the senate is set to confirm supreme court nominee neil gorsuch. it follows a controversial change to a longstanding senate rule. under the so-called nuclear rule, senators just need a simple majority to confirm a supreme court nominee rather than 60 votes. jan crawford joins us. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, norah. the only thing they could agree on yesterday is the nuclear option will forever change the senate. >> i believe our actions will haunt us -- >> reporter: poised to change senate rules, republicans and democrats offered stern warnings. >> this train is running over a cliff. it's taking not just the senate with it but the supreme court, and we need to apply the brakes. >> reporter: it made no difference after democrats refused to end a filibuster
7:16 am
blocking the nomination of neil gorsuch. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell launched the so-called nuclear option to change senate rules. in some ways the horse had already left the barn. in 2013 then senate majority leader harry reed did away with filibusters for lower court nominations. at the time minority leader mitch mcconnell issued a warning. >> my friends on the other side of the aisle, you may regret this and you may regret it a lot sooner than you think. >> reporter: and so on thursday in a vote, 59-48 they changed the rule to allow justices by a simple majority. >> in one day they have lessened the distinction between our chamber and our colleagues across the capitol. >> reporter: they worry there will be -- >> i hope we're wrong but i hope
7:17 am
we s we haven't set the demise of the senate. >> reporter: justice kennedy who is expected to retire in the next year or two is more moderate and now replacement can be done even over staunch democratic placement. >> thank you so much. don rickles the comedian died of kidney failure yesterday at his home. he would have turned 91 years old next month. bob and jenny new hart said in truth he was one of the kindesting care sensitive human beings we have ever known. david letterman added, such a gentleman. i already miss him. >> god bless you, don rickles. >> reporter: late night hosts paid tribute to don rickles moments after he passed away. >> i know it sounds crazy, but he was too young, but he was because he was youthful and
7:18 am
funny and sharp and generous. >> during his more than 50-year career. >> there's no more booing, no more booing. if there are any more outbursts, we're fwoek to let bob get up and do his jokes. >> i have to be honest. i never liked lucille ball. i never did. >> he still got them to laugh along with them. i spoke with him in 2007. it's almost a mark of distinction to be in this that audience and have you pick them out. >> some people to. i have a knack -- i don't know how. i have a knack of making fun of somebody and exaggerating without hurting them. >> reporter: one of the first audience members he insulted was frank sinatra who later became his lifelong friend. >> i'm a jew and you're an italian and here we have what. >> rickles talked about his biggest gig of his life. >> it's only a joke, mrs.
7:19 am
reagan. >> his zingers made him a favorite of late night hosts. he often walked on stage to music evoking a matador about to face off with a bull. >> your wife and you have the same name? >> what are you, a detective? >> his best friend, bob newhart. >> don is saying what the other people are thinking but they're afraid to say. he's their voice. >> oh, wow. >> and his delivery, too, charlie. >> but the turnout across the board shows how much he was loved by that community. >> you could see jimmy kimmel's emotion. you seemed to have a real conversation with him. it wasn't a joke a minute. a very smart guy. >> absolutely. smart and interesting and curious. >> uh-huh. >> he will be missed. he will be missed. >> very much so. silicon valley wants to train you to constantly check your smartphone. ahead, what a tech insider showed "60 minutes" about

7:30 am
we're learning more this morning about the missile attack ordered by president trump on syria. they're praising the movie while syria and russia denounced it. welcome back to "cbs this morning." there's new video overnight that shows the aftermath of the syrian strike. officials say at least seven people died in this this attack. there were two navy destroyers in the mediterranean that fired 59 tomahawk missiles. trump said it's because of the launch of the chemical attack that killed more than 80 people. >> it is vital for the national
7:31 am
security for the united states to deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons. there should be no dispute that syrian used banned chemical weapons, violated its obligations under the chemical weapons convention, and ignored the urging of the u.n. security council. >> cbs news senior contributor michael morell was deputy director of the cia and cbs news national security fran townsend was homeland security adviser to president bush. good morning to both of you. fran, let me start with you. what are the issues with the strike? >> look, in a single sentence. we saw president trump draw a
7:32 am
red line and they enforced it last night. they defied use of chemical weapons. he was with the keng of jordan, clearly was moved, both had pictures coming out, and the tremendous threat that this imposes to jordan. >> what message does this send to assad and to the world in gener general? >> so he will look at the target set, right? it was a single air base used for the chemical weapons attack. so the message assad will take is i cannot use chemical message again. he will get that message. this will deter him. but we did not go after regime commanding control, so that will also send him a message that we are not going to try to force hum out militarily. so he will read both of those messages. >> is it risky for him to read it that way?
7:33 am
in other words, might it mean a change regime plan? >> i believe he'll use conventional sources to go after his own civilians and go after the opposition. that kill willing continue. and if we want that to stop, with hee toad put additional pressure on him. >> fran, should we have done more? he's getting praise from most of the world, secondly, the way it was executed, fast and with secrecy. >> charlie, when you talk to sources inside the administration, you say the driving principle is proportion alt. one, you didn't want civilian casualties when you were retaliating over the horrific civilian casualties. there were six major airfields. we only hit the one. what you didn't want to do is hit potential stockpiles and caused the plume where you caused the release of sarin or chlorine gas.
7:34 am
>> michael, this is a chance for imto see what his relationship is with vladimir putin when he goes on tuesday to moscow. >> this is going to be an important trip. russians bear responsibility for what the russians have done. hay bear responsibility for chemical attack last week and it's going to be very important for secretary tillerson to make that clear to putin and to make it clear that his support for asass has to stop. >> what determines what theess does next? you, too. >> they look at how much of the underlying intelligence are they going to declassify to allow nikki haley to make the case to ton security council. we've seen lots of support from allies around the world, so the question is not only is this a u.s. responsibility, roit, to deal with the civil war and the fallout and the instability it's
7:35 am
causing but what are they doing now? we need more statements of support if we want to change the civil war in syria. and so i think you're going to see pulling together of the coalition and the region, the saudis, the jordanians. what are they going to do to use this as a leverage point to turn the tide there. >> michael, speaking about leverage, what are other ways the u.s. can scare assad, additional types of strike, tactical strikes at his closest asset ps. >> he sent a message to assad and everyone else that you can't use these weapons. he gets very high marks for that. he could get even higher marks that if he uses this as an opportunity to bring the world together, to put pressure on assad to come to the negotiating table and end the civil war once and for all. he has an opportunity to do that, i hope he does it, and it
7:36 am
should start in moscow next week. >> but you talk about bombing presidential aircraft on the ground, his helicopters, his buildings. when i said earlier we did not go after regime command far gets or targets that would send him a message that he has to go. i actually think it would have been good had we done that last night. he didn't. so we're going to have to put pressure on him. >> if it succeeds, it would cause questions about you have make sure if you make a statement you'reling to back it up. >> that's right. i do think this puts very explicit pressure nonon those -- we have international security issues. by the way, if i'm north korea, the timing of this while president xi is here gives
7:37 am
impetus to the chinese. look, we'reling to act alone. that may not be our preference, but we need you to act with us. >> in this particular casing do you think the u.s. should wait for other countries to join in if will are additional attacks against syria if that is the situation? >> one of the important things is the president acted decisively. he didn't take weeks. as frade said around the world, i think that's very important and would suggest they act accordingly. >> thank you. here are some of the other big headlines this morning. the "washington post" said there is turmoil in the west wing between steve bannon and jared kushner is reportedly creating
7:38 am
an atmosphere of tension and panic. they claim bannon is losing ground after being blamed for several policy failures. kushner has been called the trump whisperer. i wonder who will win out in that battle. son-in-law or the chief strategist. >> i'm going with the son-in-law. blood is thicker than water. >> interesting. all right. the "los angeles times" reports on twitter, filing a lawsuit against homeland security. they want to block an order by the government to identify the user behind a twitter account that opposes president trump's immigration policies. he says using it would violate free speech. homeland security adviser would not comment. and "the new york times" reports that hillary clinton believes that russia was responsible for her defeat. she said russian hacking is what
7:39 am
turned voters against her. >> the combination of the comey letter on october 28th, wikileaks which played a much bigger role than i think many people understand yet had the dd dedeterminative effect. >> she also said she does not envision running for political office ever again. people always say didn't your mama say never say never. >> the determinative effect. >> what exactly did she mean. >> yes. your smartphone might be hijacking your mind. ahead in a preview of "60 minutes" how silicon valley verver developers give you rewards when you use your apps. you can find us on cbs podcasts.

8:00 am
it is friday. happy friday to you. april 7th, 2017. welcome back to "cbs this morning." u.s. says an overnight missile attack on syria was proportion at. syria's president called it reckless. see how it could get the u.s. more involved in syria's civil war. but first here's today's "eye opener" at 8:00. president trump is facing his first international crisis and we now know he will not hesitate to use military force. >> the pentagon is still assessing the damage but believes it knocked the base out of commission. >> the president cents a very strong message to assad and everybody else in the world, you cannot use these weapons. he gets very high marks for that. >> are you concerned now,
8:01 am
senator, about a retaliatory strike of any kind? >> you do now have hundreds of american troops as advisers on ground helping to lead in the fight against isis. >> if assad is willing to use sarin gas against its own people, he's probably willing to use it against the american people. >> the nuclear option will forever change the senate. >> the so call ed comedian of venom. >> it's been a great life. listen, let's go have dinner. 8:30 we're on. you've seen it so many years, she'll say to me as we're going to bed at night, a good show. i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell.
8:02 am
they call the missile strike on the syrian airbase reckless, irresponsible, and short sited. two warships in the mediterranean launched 59 cruise missiles overnight. one of them had a gps failure and could not be bound but the rest hit the base in western syria. >> the mission was retaliation for an attack on civilians. tuesday's attack killed more than 80 syrians, many of them children. president trump said it was the images f the innocent people including the children choking to death on poison gase that moved him to take action. >> it is in this vital national security interest of the united states to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons. years of previous attempts at
8:03 am
changing assad's behavior have all failed and failed very dramatically. >> the president says the u.s. targeted the airfield where the plane dropped the deadly gas that took off. all of the missiles were timed to go off within one minute of each other. that's almost 60 pounds of explosives going off in 60 seconds. it rendered the airfield unusable. syria did not move any planes in time to avoid the strike. earlier in our broadcast senator marco rubio praised president trump's quick action but some are blaming the white house for not getting congress's approval. united states was not attacked. the president needs approval as required by the constitution. democratic senator tim kaine said he'll work with the
8:04 am
president but he said his failure to seek approval is unlawful. two members of congress were notified but no congressional approval was needed because it was in order to defend national security. more than 470,000 people have been killed and some accounts put the death toll closer to 500,000. this year the number of syrian refugees passed 5 million and neil half of them are children and around 6.3 million people are displaced inside syria. >> i interviewed syrian president in 2013 after a previous weapons attack was blamed on the assad regime. will there be attacks against american bases in the middle east if there's an air strike? >> you can expect everything. you can expect everything. not necessarily through the government. the government is not the only player in this region. you have difference parties,
8:05 am
different factions, tincht ideologies. you have different things and you have to expect that. >> tell me what you mean by expect everything. >> expect every action. >> including chemical warfare? >> that depends if the rebels or terrorists in this region or any other group have it. it could happen. i don't know. we don't -- i'm not a fortune teller to tell you what's going to happen. >> the founding president of euro as eurasia group. welcome. >> thank you. >> this is the first time that the foreign policy establishment and pretty much the entire constellation of the american all lies of getting on board with the action by president trump. we've seen it from the
8:06 am
canadians, germans, saudis. we've seen it. as a one off attack you're not going to see significant push-off by the syrians. it feels good and i think there's a reason to do it. let's keep in mind if the united states had not responded to these chemical attacks by the syrian regime, no one else was going to. that's a good reason to do it. it's also a good reason not to do it. there's a good reason why obama agonized over not taking the decision. that's precisely because now that trump is saying what he wasn't saying before that assad -- the assad regime needs a quick transition out of power, that's no way for the u.s. to do that. taking out one air base isn't going do that. the russians and iranians are the ones with the military force. >> do you think it was a mistake. >> if it's just the one off strike and they don't continue
8:07 am
into a slippery slope into a military engagement with the syrians, then i don't think it's a mistake. but it's going be incredibly difficult for trump to have changed policy toward syria to resist the extra pull into a complete quagmire. let's be very clear. trump is pulling back on foreign aid. trump is pulling back on support for the state department. trump is not someone who's interested in supporting refugees. with the suggestion of these series of bombs this is not a president who in any way showed h any way to engage from a humanitarian perspective to help the over 5 mull that have died. i don't think that changes with the 59 tomahawk missiles that were used yesterday. >> syria is home to russia's largest military base outside of russia. >> correct. >> this morning the "associated press" wires coming out. russia to prevent air incidents.
8:08 am
how does this change? >> when trump came in, what he wants to do that was at odds with president obama is working with putin. it is over now, right? i mean putin directly condemned these strikes. the kremlin has directly condemned these strikes. and the potential if the u.s. were to further expand its military engagement with syria, the russians want to make clear the direct confrontation between u.s. and russia is significant. i don't think the americans are planning on taking that risk, president trump or no. but the thing is they're antagonistic. u.s./russian relations have deteriorated more in the last half hour than any other period. >> does putin have anything to
8:09 am
gain by responding or simply letting it pass? >> i think they made the statements they need to make. the russians made clear from their perspective this was not the syrian government using chemical weapons. it was them hitting a dae powe and them having the weapons themselves. they have just suspended the air cooperation where the united states and russia are trying to deconflict the area. that's a significant statement. but, look, the israeli government has engaged extra streetic strikes before and the russians have done nothing. this is very similar. if the united states, only world super power decides to bomb a country around the world, we can do that. no one's fw oink to stand up to us on that. but that's very different than trump saying we now want assad out. there's no mechanism for trump to get assad out. this is a sugar high and that reflects trump's diet and the way he's engaged in this this
8:10 am
policy. many a month's time, u.s. engagement in syria is not going to look like it had a win at all. it's not why people voted for him. >> this is being described as his first international crisis. how you do think he's doing? >> i this i the decision to let the russians know in advance was the single smartest thing he's done in terms of foreign policy. i think the fact that he had the right people in the room, that mattis was engaged. hillary carolili clinton yester stating yesterday, let's take out all of the airfields. i think that was seriously ridiculous to do. the only thing i would say that's thoroughly problematic that we need to think about as a country that apparently it is okay for the syrian government to have killed some 500,000
8:11 am
civilians and we don't respond. but hit them with chemicals, we respond. >> but doesn't that change with the pictures? >> i've seen pictures of the refugees washing up on the shores and i didn't see the u.s. respond to that. >> thank you. always good to see you. many teenagers use secret apps to communicate with

"is snooping on teenagers ever okay." also the author of "untangled" guiding girls into adulthood. lisa, good morning. >> good morning. >> are there some cases where it's okay to snoop? >> first let's say what snooping is. it's monitoring without telling them you're monitoring. it's going on under the table. all right we're undermining questions of trust. we want to be really careful if we're thinking about snooping because when parents to it we have research showing it does harm the relationship with their
8:34 am
kids. >> as long as they don't know you're snooping. >> here's what's interesting. you've got be really good about it. but then what do you do if you find something? >> hello, my name is gayle and i was a snooper. just because they want privacy doesn't mean they were doing anything. most of the stuff i found was quite boring. >> did you feel a little bit guilty? >> maybe a nano second. maybe. >> let's start with that. teenagers want privacy for its own sake and just because a teenager wants privacy doesn't mean they're up to something and i think it's important for parents to remember ha. >> you're right. >> is there any way to accomplish the interest of the parents without snooping? >> absolutely. the research also tells us they should probably just ask. we have research showing that teenagers do expect to share information with their parents, especially around health and safety. we also know that teenagers share more parents with their parents that they feel accept them and trust them. so if parents say, look, this is not about you getting in trouble. this is not about me getting mad.
8:35 am
we want to know that you're okay. >> and you can tell me anything. >> anything. >> you can tell me anything. this is about safety. chances are they're going to get an above board response they can really work with. >> we've been talking all morning about your appearance with legal issues and snooping. >> they're very, very murky. here's what we know. you do have a right to spy on your own child. that does not always extend to right o spy on other people's kids which if you're monitoring a conversation, that could happen. >> what are the legal issues? >> it gets tricky fast but parents ought to be mindful they may be monitoring a conversation in involved somebody else's kid and some may not be okay with your spying on them. >> snooping comes from a protective and loving space. >> it always starts from a loving space. >> that's right. >> another thing in the research is parents who snoop don't have

8:41 am
>> it has. >> peter quinn is very cute. >> i think so. >> how did you prepare to play the condition that you're playing? >> it was a lot of research. you know, there's a lot out there actually by people on youtube, on the internet, who have been the victim of a stroke and there are plenty of people who have posted and kind of helped me with videos, sharing in the community, ways of doing everyday tasks like having a bath, for example. how do you do that when you don't have one of your arms. >> it reminds me of bradley cooper on "elephant man," the transformation. it reminds me of that on "homeland." >> yeah. thank you. it was a real journey to go on it with somebody i'm close to. >> do you think everybody wants you and carrie to have some love affair? >> it sounds like you do,
