stood by his decision not to correct a supporter who said this at a new hampshire town hall. >> it's called muslims. we know our current president is one. >> reporter: trump even echoed the bogus claim when asked if he would be comfortable with a muslim in the white house. >> some people have said it already happened, frankly. but, of course, you wouldn't agree with that. >> reporter: on "face the nation oi oi democratic front-runner called trump's views appalling and potentially dangerous. >> he is fueling a level of paranoia and prejudice against all kinds of people and when you light those fires, you better recognize that they can get out of control. >> reporter: but trump's gop rival neurosurgeon ben coordinates went further on sunday saying muslims don't belong in the oval office because islam isn't compatible with the sxigsconstitution. minnesota democrat keith ellison, one of two muslims in

congress, accused trump and carson of fear mongering. americans he said should be disturbed at these blatant act of bigotry. marco rubio dismissed the tlors theories for the united states. >> he is a christian and he is president of the united states and we are going to move on. >> reporter: we asked carson's campaign what he thinks muslims is incapable with the constitution. but one gop rival, lindsey graham, pointed out that most muslims reject radical islam and believe it is per version of their religion. hillary clinton appeared on "face the nation" on sunday. she called for the u.s. to lead the world in helping syrian refuges.

at one point john dickerson asked her digital your late friend diane blair wrote in her diary, on her death bed clinton wants to make sure she is true to herself and not doing phony makeovers to please others. knowing that, give us the three words that is the real hillary clinton. just three! >> just three? can't possibly do that! i mean look. i am a real person with all of the pluses and minuses that go along with being that. and i've been in the public eye for so long that i think, you know, it's like the feature that you see in some magazines sometimes. real people actually go shopping. you know? >> all right. >> cbs news political director and "face the nation" moderator john dickerson is with us. >> she got a kick out of the question. >> she did. a great interview where you covered a lot of policy as well in that interview. first i want to ask you a new poll out this morning shows hillary clinton's campaign bouncing back essentially. a wide lead over bernie sanders nationally. >> right. that is probably good news for

them over there. every poll story has been not so great news and so it shows basically that she has got a big lead and, you know, the other thing she can say is that she might have turned the corner, that she has been going through all of these different interviews and that, they think, is helping with these numbers. >> how did she do yesterday? program. >> we will have to see how the this. right? it's the rollout of her in a more longer interviews, different kinds of conversations she is having and the goal here, the reason i asked the question at the end there, what is to present a different side of her and give voters something to grab on to because they are, obviously, grabbing on and hugging bernie sanders. >> i wonder if she gets charged of people wondering if she is a real person. she sits there and say, i am real. >> that is the way people say a normal person would respond to a question like that.

>> but that diane blair quote comes from when she was first lady or running along with bill clinton. so it is this thing that has been dogging her and your response is the one that she has and that a lot of politicians have which is that the authenticity of campaigns is lal artificial. >> she called the effort to train fighters in syria a failed program and said that some of what she had suggested -- what she worried would go wrong had, in fact, gone wrong. basically. that was interesting. she said she wouldn't totally scrap the train and equip program of syrian rebels which they appear to be ready to do in this administration but that was notable she said basically if they had followed what i had wanted, which was train and equip some time ago, we wouldn't be facing what we are now. >> is joe biden closer to getting in the race this morning? >> we have reports that his wife run. the biden family bubble is described to me as something --

somebody who works with him says they have never seen anything like it. if she is board -- >> the bubble or the family? >> i'm sorry. the bubble of the family. they are so tight. it is such a unit that this isn't just about a single man, and so his wife being on board is the part of that unit and so you would think that would maybe suggest he is a little closer but closer to a decision. you know? >> if you're joe biden's campaign right now and you see hillary's numbers strengthening now, how do you react to has? >> well, i think -- as i've been talking to people, every time hillary clinton's numbers get weaker, they say i think he is more likely to get in. and so you would imagine the opposite might be true. because it's going to be a hard run if he decides to run and if it looks like she has righted the ship and we don't know if she has, that would make it more difficult. >> great interview. thank you. >> john dickerson, thanks. this morning, two americans taken hostage months ago in yemen are free. rebels released six hostages yesterday including two americans.

if she is a real person and what she said yesterday. >> some people looked at that answer and said that is the normal way a normal person would react. >> they have been playing the miserable game of pass the refuge throughout this region of southeast europe for days now. each country trying to kick the problem down the road to the next. >> so much for tv fans to smile about. >> i've been on television six weeks, whatever it is. this is the first applause i've heard. it is a barron waste land out there. high snap. desperation heave into traffic and off his horse and into the hands with a crazy carom and a touchdown for the rebels. oh, my goodness! >> i'm gayle king with norah o'donnell and anthony mason and charlie is on assignment and coming home from his interview with russian president vladimir putin.

we will bring you portions of that "60 minutes" interview in the week ahead. i said good luck on sunday with the interview in an e-mail and he said, i'll try my best. i'm thinking he has something really good when he returns can't wait to see. >> looking forward to that. pope francis is spending last full day in go visiting cities of holguin and santiago. he held mass yesterday in front of an estimated 200,000 people. he said service not ideology. >> cbs news will have extensive coverage with the pope tomorrow. we will have special reports from wednesday and thursday from some of the events. the newest presidential poll for the republicans show donald trump still in first place but his numbers have dropped since

earlier this month and for the first time carly feeiorina is in second place among the republican voters. trump blasted fiorina for his record as a tech ceo. on sunday, she was asked criticism about her time of leading hewlitt-packard. >> i led hp during the worst technology session in 25 years. . the nasdaq and heavy stock index dropped by 80% and it took 15 years for that stock index to recover to its dot com boom highs. >> if i may, though, you're kind of selective because you're saying where the stock was. the nasdaq dropped 80% in 2006 '03 when you were let go it only dropped 28%. >> the heavy stock index dropped again. i think if you look at it over the 15 years, you'll see what i'm describing as correct. there are people who look at a stock one day at a time. i never led that way. >> new cnn poll this morning,

finds hillary clinton widening her lead in the democratic race and 57% of democrats would support her if vice president joe biden does not run. she made her first appearance in almost four years with john dickerson on "face the nation." >> some who know you and have worked with you say what this e-mail situation suggests is that there is nobody around you who can say, secretary clinton, this is a bad idea, don't do this. do you have such a person? >> i have too many, actually. you know, look. >> but before the fact, not after. after, everybody is giving you advice. >> john, this is done by prior government officials, including -- >> but not at this level. not solely a server just for you. >> you know, look. it was done by others and let me just say that, yes, when i did it, it was allowed, it was above board and, you know, now i'm being as transparent as possible more than anybody else ever has been. >> they worry that people who are inside are too inside, that that is why the economic situation is tilted against the

middle class, it's why they always feel like everybody can wiggle around the rules and that is something you have to deal with, right? >> of course it is and why i have an economic policy centered on raising income. i want to go back to economy policies where we create millions of new jobs and where people's income rise, not just at the top but in the middle and at the to him like they did under my husband. i'm not running for bill's third term and i'm not running for president obama's third term but it would be really foolish of me not to say that worked better than what the republicans offer. >> really interesting interview there and when asked to describe herself, clinton said i'm a real person with all of the pluses and minuses that go along with being that. iranian officials will likely approve the deal with united states and five other world powers and according to rouhani who was interviewed by

>> since the deal, the ayatollah has endorsed and even praised the chant of death to americans and death to israeli by the friday demonstrators. he continues to call the united states the great satan. do you believe the united states is the great satan? [ speaking in foreign language ] >> translator: the entity that existed between the united states and iran over the decades, the distance, the disagreements, the lack of trust, will not go away soon. what is important is which direction we are heading. are we heading towards amplifying it or decreasing it? i believe we have taken the first step towards decreasing >> president rouhani is scheduled to address the u.n. next week.

(doorbell) what's that? a package! it's a swiffer wetjet. it almost feels like it's moving itself. this is kind of fun. that comes from my floor? eww! this is deep couch sitting.

why there was so much diversity there was a change in vote pregnant. for the first time the ballots were open to all academy members and not just an exclusive blue ribbon panel. >> that's good. >> that sounds like a good idea. >> i think so too. you said at the beginning it was a great night for women of color, including regina king who won and she seemed stunned when they called her name. >> reporter: it was amazing. she actually told me back stage that -- she didn't think she was going to win and when she saw him open the envelope and she goodness, i might win. the two are very good friends and regina game back stage with her son ian and i asked him about his mom's win and she saidhe said she is my hero. she told him we are going to have fun tonight but you're going on a plane tonight and go

time he walked out on stage and nobody knew but all of a sudden the hush came over the media and you know that is something when the media gets quiet. one of the people from the emmys said, watch this, you're going to cry and there wasn't a dry boy. having him there was amazing. was. >> how they kept that a secret i'll never know and it was 106 degrees on the red carpet. >> gayle, it was crazy! it was crazy! >> nothing like sweating when you're all dressed up. thank you, kevin. we will bring you all of the big emmy moments this evening on "entertainment tonight" that is kevin's show. check your local listings. pope francis is coming to the u.s. for the first time in his life. we will remember other papal visits and show you why this pilgrimage will be more important than many of the others. that is next on "cbs this morning." i don't want to live with the uncertainties of hep c. or wonder...

>> reporter: in 1965, pope paul vi made a historic landing in new york. he was cheered on by millions as he made his way through manhattan. >> the pope is in the general assembly hall. >> reporter: where he addressed the united nations and met with president lyndon johnson. the pope's enthusiastic reception was a sign of changing times. for many years anti-catholic sentiment had been widespread in the u.s., fueled in part by fears that a catholic american president would take orders from the vatican. that began to change when john f. kennedy affirmed his belief in the separation of church and state in a historic campaign speech in 192060. >> i do not church for my church in public matters and my church

>> anticatholicism in a sense died with john kennedy. john kennedy became an american hero. so his assassination kind of, you know, put anti-catholicism to rest. >> reporter: more than a decade passed before another pope visited the united states in 1979, john paul, ii delivered 60 speeches and sermons the final stop in washington where he visited the white house by carter. >> own a devoutest president could invite the pope to come and visit the white house. >> reporter: was he well-received or was there some washington? >> the church was changing by that time and americans in general who were very anti-communist saw the pope and john paul as an ally of the united states against communism. >> reporter: in a 1987 tour of america, john paul, ii spoke on

in san francisco he blessed catholic aids patients and in abortion. a message he continued to deliver in a 1993 address in denver and his final address in st. louis in 1999 where he visited with president bill clinton. in 2008 pope benedict xvith highlighted the sexual abuse priests in the united states. during a visit to the white house, president george w. bush in a lighter note. happy birthday to you >> reporter: he and first lady laura bush celebrated pope benedict's 81st birthday. as pope francis makes his way to washington, he will be making history as the first pope to address the u.s. congress. father reeves says his message could also ruffle some feathers. >> this pope is concerned about

is he critical of libertyarian capitalism? he is not afraid of challenging people and sometimes when he challenges people, they get mad. >> reporter: do you expect him to challenge congress? >> i don't see how he can. >> reporter: according to a recent study the number of catholics in america has been steadily decreasing in recent years but they hope the visit by the pope francis will put that trend in the other direction. >> while church attendance has declined our new cbs poll says a stunningly positive assessment. if they can put more seats in the pews, i think that will please catholic leaders. >> people just like him. we are so excited. you want to be in the room wherever he is. thank you, chip. actor scott bakula is here this morning. fans got to know him as a time

traveling physicist in a series that won him a golden globe in 1992. nci new orleans most watched new series. in tomorrow night's season premiere, they are along for a bomber on a new orleans bridge. here is a preview. >> there he is. >> got our suspect. jackson square. he is running! ncis! stop! get down! get down! he has got a gun! everybody, get down! easy. put the gun down. >> put the gun down!

scott bakula is not going to tell us. >> i'm not. >> that would spoil it. let's talk about you, mr. bakula. since you're here, let's talk about you. >> we can talk about you, you if you'd like. >> that with be boring. >> i have heard comments but, right? i just happen to have them here! >> no, that's okay. that's okay. very boring stuff. let's talk about you because it says scott bakula is the best reason to watch and even root for a series. what makes you so great? go ahead and impress us, mr. ba baku bakula. >> do i have to follow that? can i stop there. >> what a great compliment to what you do and i hope you're having as much fun as you appear to be. >> i'm having a great time. we are shooting in new orleans every day. i have today off which is nice. part of the day, then i fly back tonight and get back to it tomorrow. you know, this part is a great part. obviously, the franchise has been so well received around the planet. >> were you nervous about coming on a franchise that had already been established? >> oh, yeah. >> joining it?

i was wondering about that. >> i think that is always a hard thing. certainly something as successful as this, because there -- it's unprecedented in many ways. >> what do you think it is about this franchise has made it so enduring? >> i think people like the kind of show it is. for me, as a viewer, i like trying to solve mysteries, trying to figure out who did it. there is, obviously, there's lots of shows like this and on television right now. a great thirst for that. a little bit of escapism in it. and then these characters are great and they are fun to be with and fun to see how they handle this crazy intense work and then their life on the side. >> but nobody does it like "ncis." and new orleans. this is a city that gives you a lot to work it. >> it sure does, sure does. i had never been there until a couple of years ago and shot a movie down there and people said you'll come back. i said i've never been here my

life and i don't know if i'll be back. i'm back and a couple of ladies on the crew, we told you! weird stuff going on down here because you're right, i'm back. fascinating to get to know the city and why it's so enduring and why people come back to it because you watch some of these events on screen and stuff like that and years ago. you sometimes when you're not there, you look and say, why would anybody return? and then i've spent the time there, and you get it. >> your character plays piano? is that right? >> yes. >> you play piano? >> i play piano. odd. isn't that strange? interesting that they would have picked clara netire clarinet. >> is that going to happen on the show? >> yeah. we have worked it in so i can play some piano. >> will you lay out the musical side of you? >> it's out. dr. john in the first episode that airs tomorrow night and

great musicians from new orleans." perfect down. if you're bringing that out, that is the perfect place to do it. >> yes. my character actually buys an old run-down bar this year and we start refurbishing that so that is a place to potentially do more music so i'm very excited about it that. the music scene down there, as a musician to be in the place where jazz was born and to be around that environment, is breath taking to me all the time. >> what is your favorite thing to sing? because if i could do anything i would like to sing. i'm just a bad singer. >> what would you like to sing? are youing and asking me what style? >> yes. or if you'd like to show us. >> i'm a broadway musical theater guy but i also love all of the standards and so, you know, grew up listening to big bands and so i kind of love everything. and i love jazz. i've seen billie holiday singing

and that was so nice. >> what place in your heart does "quantum leap" hold for you? people see you and say, i remember. >> i do remember. i do remember. it was a unique experience. kind of unprecedented. we ran for four and a half years. i wasn't on the set five days the rest of the time i was there first shot to the last shot. it was kind of a marathon every year to try to survive mentally and physically. but the exposure, the kinds of stories that we did what the show was about and it's longevity has been amazing to me. now we are in this world where people can see things, so i have children of fans coming to me all the time and saying, from russia saying, i saw this when i was a little girl in russia and my mother and father. >> we like it because you're a part of the cbs family me too. >> continued success. you can watch the season
