york city, i'm jeff glor. this is the "cbs overnight news." >> welcome to the overnight news, i'm jeff glor. they are still digging through the devastation in garland, texas, where an ef-4 tornado flattened hundreds of homes. at least 11 were killed in north texas and many more hurt. part of a massive storm system that produced heavy snow in the southwest and floods in the midwest as well. david begnaud reports. >> reporter: good evening. there is no mistaking a tornado disaster zone. along this residential street where we are every home is damaged. some severely. these vehicles look like they crashed into each other. this one right here, the windows blown out, a piece of plywood came flying through the wind shield, impaled in the passenger

eyewitnesses who lived through this tornado say it blew through here around 7:00 p.m. and lasted less than 45 seconds. >> there it is, i see it. >> reporter: even by texas standards it was a monstrosity. >> oh, i see it, it's crossing the highway right there. business, big tornado. >> reporter: at least eight tornados exploded through dallas county, the hardest-hit areas are garland and rowlett. >> oh! there's stuff flying in the air! >> reporter: damage has been reported along a 40-mile stretch of homes and businesses. in the darkness last night the destruction was hard to see. but by this morning the path of the tornados was clear. entire communities are flattened. many of the houses still standing are without roofs. vehicles are flipped or buried under debris. in garland the storms killed eight and destroyed 600 structures in a two-mile area. in rowlett, the tornados injured 23 people and leveled 40 homes. high winds tossed trailers at this mobile home park and

damaged this strip mall. >> we pray and support those who have lost a family member. >> reporter: texas governor greg abbott says more storms today are complicating recovery efforts. >> i want you to know that texas is doing everything we can to help you piece your lives back together, to help you better deal with the challenges that you are facing right now. >> reporter: this afternoon, mike girard brought his wife nancy back to their home for the first time since they lived through the tornado last night. >> we were on our patio in the back of the house. >> what was that? >> that was the ceiling falling in. we went from being just inconvenienced to -- to realizing that we could have been dead. and in an instant, it hit. and less than 60 seconds, it seemed like eternity, it was

>> no. my boys grew up in this house. everything's gone. >> reporter: mike says when the tornado finally moved out of the area he walked outside to see what was left. and he saw his neighbor, who lives here on the second story of her home. the roof was gone. and there she was waving for help. jeff, she was stranded but she wasn't hurt. >> david begnaud in rowlett, texas. long-time "face the nation" host bob schaffer stepped down replaced by scott dickerson. "the late show" became "the late show with stephen colbert." they sat down to compare notes for "face the nation." >> i'm looking for a theory of this election. do you have one? >> anything goes, i guess. all bets are off. there's a populism to trump that i find very appealing. and it's only this. is that the party elders would like him to go away but the people have decided that he's not going to. >> so you like that?

>> i may disagree with anything that he's saying and think his proposals are a little -- more than a little shocking. but there is something really hopeful about the fact that 36% of the likely voters want him, so the people in the machine don't get to say otherwise. that's the one saving grace i think of his candidacy. >> you have to look at this mess of an election and make something of it, make a joke of it, come to terms with -- >> i always feel bad. i feel bad for the candidates now. you know, because what did we start off with, something like 22 at one point? that's why we did "hungry for power games." how do we talk about them? most of them we know are going to fall by the wayside. it's not literally with an arrow in their chest but certainly massive campaign debt. god knows what's going to happen to george pataki. swept into the turbines of this election. tossed over a railing to a pit full of piranhas.

something bad is going to happen to all the lower-tier candidates. i started feeling bad about how excited i was about each of them dropping out. >> what's your view about the facts? >> facts? >> facts and their salience in the conversation? >> i'm a big fan of facts. i'm not sure they have any bearing on what a person's popularity is. donald trump is like -- i'm not the first person to say this but i completely agree that he's my old character with $10 billion. you know, he doesn't -- he's completely playing on an emotional level. and so beautifully. it's one of the reasons why i just can't do that old character anymore, he's doing it better than i ever could. he's willing to drink his own kool-aid and manufacture and distribute it because he's got all the cash. he's this very interesting -- like frankenstein of the idea that facts don't matter, only money does. because if money is speech, he's got a $10 billion mouth.

and doesn't have to spend any of it because everyone will point a camera at him. >> before you started the show you said you were hoping he'd stay in the race long enough -- >> i really didn't think he'd do this well. i didn't know anything about politics, spoiler, i pretended to know about it. i know something about human behavior. i'm really just an actor and a writer. >> you also have a big heart and you want good stuff to come out of the process. >> well, yeah. no joke for donald trump or anything -- no joke for any individual candidate means more to me than what i think is best for the country. i've tried to be very respectful to -- i try to be respectful to donald trump. the first thing i did was apologize to him. i didn't let my audience get mad at ted cruz or boo him. i wanted kasich to have a good time. i hope all the candidates will come on. >> it sounded like there was a little bit of trump respect in you for his ability to channel the populist. >> well, i mean, i have respect

real audience is. that if you really want to win, you've got to get the people. the people get to make the call. especially now. because the parties are so beholden to big money. that the party apparatus itself has been dismantled in favor of just cash. and so there aren't, you know, wise old people who get to make the call. because that's been farmed out to super pacs. which don't seem to be that powerful themselves, really. but in giving the power over to the super pacs, they've actually completely defanged the parties themselves. that's why you can't stop a trump. that's a real blowback to the idea that we're going to take power away from the party and just give it to cash. what i do respect is that he knows that it is an emotional appeal. and it might be emotional appeals that i can't respect. but he knows that you have to

i made a big deal about, there's no way he's going to win. >> you weren't the only one. >> yeah. again, i don't know anything about politics. >> important message for residents age 50 to 85. write down this number now. right now, people are receiving this free information kit for guaranteed acceptance life insurance with a rate lock through the colonial penn program. if you are on a fixed income, learn about affordable whole life insurance that guarantees your rate can never increase for any reason. if you did not receive your information, call this number now. your acceptance is guaranteed, with no health questions. stand by to learn more. >> i'm alex trebek, here to tell you about a popular life insurance plan with a rate lock

avoid a septic disaster with rid-x. the entire beatles catalog is now available through streaming services. and fans of the fab four can also go online to get a tour of the band's favorite recording studio abbey road. >> reporter: it has become a mecca for music fans the world over where they come to follow in the footsteps of the beatles and make their own mark in the studio where the beatles made their mark on history. i want to hold your hand >> reporter: but in 1969, it was one album in particular that put abbey road on the map and journalist and author andrew mueller says things might have been very different had the band

their long and winding road. >> this album was going to be called "everest." their idea was they would do this publishing tour of the great mountain. and then somebody flying them all the way from the pole to do a photo. a bit of a schlep, why not go outside, take the picture on the crosswalk, call it "abbey road," and be done with it? i really hope it's true this great famous image and title exists because the beatles couldn't be bothered to get on a plane at that point. >> reporter: so from the myth to the mythology. over the years maybe millions of fans have made the pilgrimage to this crosswalk. the most famous in rock 'n' roll. but this is where their journey came to an end. until now. >> welcome to abbey road. >> reporter: thanks to a new collaboration with google, abbey road studios has opened its doors for the very first time.

able to step inside -- >> reporter: a virtual mystery tour offering 360-degree views, games and gadgets, an interactive abbey road experience. the real abbey road isn't open to the public or the press, for that matter. it's a fully operational recording studio. we came early. no self-respecting rock star would be up at this hour. the sound of a room makes the room special -- >> reporter: not much has changed, chief sound engineer stiles told us if it was good enough for the beatles -- >> you start playing around with the floor or walls you're going to change the sound at the end of the day, and we don't want to change the sound, we love the sound. well she was just 17 you know what i mean >> reporter: meant to sound live, as if you were standing there. when the beatles brought 190

right here. and if a band is only as good as its songs, then the band's records are only as good as the equipment used to record them. >> how many microphones have you got? >> oh, thousands. >> these things aren't just for show. >> no, absolutely not, no. they're used pretty much every day. >> reporter: pink floyd's epic. dark side of the moon >> reporter: sam smith. you'd say i'm sorry believe me i love you >> reporter: and amy winehouse's last recording session with tony bennett just four months before she died. >> this hasn't changed. >> yeah, this room -- >> reporter: it's the studio's rich history that lends it such soul. like the steinway piano that's been in use for more than 60 years. maybe one little tinkle couldn't

>> this features quite heavily on -- penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes >> it's also the piano used on -- lady madonna children at your feet wonder how you manage to make ends meet >> you can explore the studio and discover what goes on -- >> reporter: while the virtual tour might not be the same it opens doors to a world most have never seen. and it may help keep some of the devoted, and their pens, away. >> maybe they're thinking that the people can sit at home in front of their computers or their phones and click their way through our building, they won't come here and draw things all over our fence. >> it has been 20 years since pixar made the revolutionary "toy story." john blackstone was invited to

people who make the movie magic. >> i am buzz lightyear. i come in peace. >> reporter: when buzz, woody, and the gang from "toy story" were first brought to life 20 years ago, they seemed more realistic than anything previously created in an animated movie. >> please be careful. you don't want to be in the way when my laser goes off. >> reporter: it was the result of more than four years of work at pixar animation studios. >> we were still kind of doing the same thing -- >> reporter: pete docter was one of the animators. >> you come to work and somebody would have figured something else out that you'd never seen before. >> to infinity and beyond! >> reporter: "toy story's" animators went beyond what had been done before by creating on computers. by getting closer to reality more challenging than they expected. >> almost every scene we would go, that's going to be really hard. but part of the fun of working here was this was a new toy.

out how things work. >> reporter: pixar was owned by somebody else who liked to figure things out, steve jobs. >> how do you think of yourself? >> reporter: when "toy story" was released charlie rose talked to jobs about his role as a moviemaker. >> the things i've done in my life, the things we do at pixar, these are team sports. >> reporter: 1986, jobs bought pixar for $5 million from filmmaker george lucas. gail sus man was a technical director on "toy story" and has worked on every sequel. >> there's no way "toy story" would have been made without steve. he had the belief, the passion, the gumption to fight for us to get us the resources we needed to make the movie. >> reporter: the studio and its arsenal of films about talking fish -- >> i'm coming, nemo! >> reporter: robots -- >> wall-e! >> reporter: and a rat who likes to cook -- has received massive critical acclaim and collected

but when pixar had no movie ready for release in 2014, some in the industry wondered whether the studio had lost its edge. >> pizza sounds delicious. >> reporter: then came the release this year of "inside out." >> what the heck is that? >> who puts broccoli on pizza? >> that's it, i'm done. >> congratulations, san francisco, you've ruined pizza! >> reporter: so far the movie about the inner workings of an 11-year-old girl's mind has earned over $800 million. in spite of the animation technology pixar has pioneered, its films still start the old-fashioned way. >> yeah, it still starts with a drawing. although we do draw digitally. >> reporter: from these drawings and the imagination of all those working on a movie the a pixar, the story takes shape. >> and i can turn like all around, like what's going on? huh? what? >> do you know --

>> reporter: the good dinosaur marks the first time pixar is releasing two movies in one year. originally scheduled to be in theaters two years ago the movie was delayed by production problems. >> the northwest was a huge inspiration -- >> reporter: 2013, peter sohn replaced the first director. >> "the good dinosaur" has had painful moments over many years now. >> a lot of the pixar films go through these challenges of trying to make the story right. >> reporter: "the good dinosaur" is his debut as a director. in 15 years at pixar he has filled many other jobs, from animation to voice-over work. >> my name is russell. >> reporter: in "up" he was the inspiration for the wilderness explorer russell. >> are you in need of any assistance today, sir? >> when you're in a story room with these artists everyone is going to be drawing you. the guys would draw me like a giant thumb with a hat. >> reporter: more than 90 animators worked on "the good dinosaur." >> we start with posing -- >> reporter: three seconds of animation takes about a week to complete.

>> you have to be patient, you have to have long vision. it's all about the long game. >> we're flying! >> reporter: in the 20 years since "toy story," pixar has been playing that long game. >> to infinity and beyond! >> reporter: and winning. john blackstone, emeryville, california. mucinex fast max. it's the same difference. these are multi-symptom. well so are these. this one is max strength and fights mucus. that one doesn't. uh...think fast! you dropped something. oh...i'll put it back on the shelf... new from mucinex fast max. the only cold and flu liquid gel that's max-strength and fights mucus. start the relief. ditch the misery.

missing -- until he found it. steve hartman found his story "on the road." >> reporter: generally speaking, if you're a kid growing up in pittsburgh like jesse and josh lyle the last place you ever want to be is in a courtroom across the table from detective jack mook, a by the book, no nonsense, chew them up, spit them out 22-year veteran of the force. outside of work he's a committed bachelor, a man's man, who would never so much as let a vidalia see his soft side. for fun he hits people. and volunteers at the steel city boxing gym teaching the sport to underprivileged kids. >> mostly kids that come in this gym are street kids. many of them have been born into poverty. >> reporter: kids like jesse and his older brother josh. long before their day in court jack had been working with them. he really liked these kids and knew the feeling was mutual. when they just stopped showing up at the gym one day, jack went

>> he was asking me about it. and then -- i just cried. >> reporter: what jack didn't know, what no one knew till that moment, was just how bad these kids had it. they were in a foster home with foster parents who jack says were extremely abusive and neglectful. >> they have had it as worse as any other kid that's ever lived in the city of pittsburgh. living conditions-wise. and that just -- i had enough of it. >> reporter: jack mook took cashed in some favors and got the kids placed in a new home. >> you want something else to eat? >> reporter: his. for jack, it's been quite an adjustment. >> i'm in here trying to learn my culinary skills, brother. loving this. >> yeah, yes. it's awesome. it's the best thing i ever did in my life. >> reporter: at least it was the best thing. until the day he went to court

adopted the boys. and made them mooks. >> you're a mook, right? you happy? >> reporter: after this story first aired in 2014, we got a lot of e-mail. a surprising amount from women who wanted to meet this guy. did you e-mail us? are you one of those? >> no. no. >> reporter: mary says she saw the story but she met him at a bar. >> did you go to the bar because you knew he'd be there? >> yes. >> ah! >> ah-ha, yes. >> i am answering honestly. >> now we see. >> reporter: they were married last summer. she came with three of her own so now jack and the boys are part of a brady bunch. a family none of them could have ever imagined just a few years ago. jack especially. >> i thought being single was fun. because you don't have no responsibilities. but when you're single, you don't realize what you're missing. i'm glad i let her break through that barrier. and take me away from that life. >> reporter: sounds like it

rescued.

pittsburgh. a singing santa from new york has been cast in a real-life medical drama of his own. this one has a happy ending. from the ground floor apartment to the party up above here's love love love >> reporter: at the john angeman theater in motor port, new york, actor and singer kevin mcguire kris kringle in the musical adaptation of "miracle on 34th street" where his sweet baritone and rosy checks are on full display. it's beginning to look a lot like christmas >> reporter: but that ruddy complexion was an outward sign of a serious problem inside his body, one he couldn't put a name to. >> my skin was very red, very purple. and i started getting joint pain, a lot of joint pain. >> and trouble singing?

>> oh, yeah, definitely. >> you worried about your career? >> of course. your vocal cords are in distress, you don't know why. it's terrifying. >> reporter: in may 2012, a blood test showed sky-high iron levels and a doctor finally figured out the cause. >> he said, kevin, you have hemochromatosis. >> when he explained it? in simple terms, what did he say was the problem? >> he said you're rusting from the inside out. >> reporter: the disorder is caused by a genetic defect that allows too much iron to be absorbed and gradually overload tissues and organs. in addition to joint pain and fatigue symptoms can include abdominal discomfort and loss of libido. more than 1 million americans have the gene mutation for the disorder but many are never diagnosed. left untreated buildup can cause organ damage and even death. mcguire began weekly blood draws that slowly removed the excess iron. it's a simple yet effective remedy that helps restore iron levels to a normal range.

life. i dreamed a dream >> reporter: especially new that his vocal pipes are no longer rusting. as the iron came out of your body, especially out of your vocal cords, what happened to you as an actor, as a performer? >> i can do pretty much just about anything. for a long time. from the land to >> reporter: cbs news, north fork, new york. >> that is the "overnight news" for this monday. for some of you the news continues. for others check back with us a little later for the morning news and "cbs news this morning."
