>> by that, you mean -- >> i don't think they help themselves by talking about this. in both cases, especially mr. trump, it makes it look like he has devoted too much brain space, two things that are unworthy, unattractive, and creepy. >> they are both doing this, peggy, on the show yesterday. both blaming the other. >> one of them said, i think trump said the other day, i didn't start it, he started it, i didn't start it. i thought, oh, i've heard that before and that is when with you're surrounded by children. i didn't start it, he started it, mom. >> speaking of brain space. donald trump gave a long interview to "the new york times" about his views on foreign policy. what did you take from that? >> i was not scandalized by it as some people were. it burned up twitter and facebook. oh, my god, i can't believe he had so many doubts about nato. to me, this was the kind of

thoughts of a man who he was on the phone with "the new york times." >> is that what you want in a president? >> i'm not sure. trump always acts as if, you know, i'm fooling around now but i swear when i'm president i won't be fooling around. we may live to see if that is true. but the essentials of what he said, certain doubts about the cost of nato and its aplikability to the current terrorist moment set up to deal with terrorism, these are not unreasonable questions. you actually want an outsider asking them and he is the outsider running and kind of his job -- >> the president asked questions about our relationship and whether europe was paying its fair share. >> yes. i mean, he made it very clear in the -- >> jeffrey goldberg. >> jeffrey goldberg piece in "the atlantic" he has questions. i think a certain distancing feeling toward our allies. you know, there is a little bit of a mind melt between obama and

funny way, such as a certain -- i can't think of the word. detachment toward their disapproval -- >> they come from it from different places. >> they certainly do, don't they? >> this sound bite a moment ago this idea he is not consulting with advisers. there are already questions about his advisers but do we or the general population think or care about that? what is the impact of that? >> people like us notice it. i actually think it's a problem. there are a lot of foreign policy big brains on the republican side who could be very helpful to him. i think they don't join him for two reasons. one is that there is a stigma with joining trump. you know? he is a vul garian outsider who is not serious and hurt your career if you go with him. second thing if you look at him as a serious foreign policy thinker, you have to wonder yourself, wait a second. he is serious and reliable and

no one would join him thitat this time. if he would about him a candidate i think he would pick up adviser and then we wonder does he ever listen to them? that is part two of the story. >> to be continued, for sure. >> you got it. >> thank you, peggy. i know we will see you again. millionaire athletes are

granderson's 10,000 dollar donation. >> i thought what a simple, yet impactful, strategy. i mean, when we are dealing with 1.5 million new yorkers who look to us, who depend on us for food and support and other services and you think about someone contributing that amount of money, it's a big deal. >> with curtis, it was, can i overnight a check? do you have information? can i start telling my friend? how do i get my teammates involved? >> from his donation of 10,000 for this one season, it's going to provide approximately 110,000 meals for americans. >> reporter: amazing. >> which is a huge impact just from one player. >> reporter: at spring training, curtis granderson's popularity among fans was overwhelming. but it's his jongenerosity that may inspire that type of support for his newest teammate. >> i haven't had to reach out to people. people come to me asking for this which is great. >> reporter: do you think this

and maybe beyond in other sports? >> i definitely think it has the possibility of catching on in other sports. i don't know what their per diem checks are but i do know what their salary checks are. it's minute work but the reward is still very huge. >> they are just getting started with this so they have 11 baseball players signed up but that is going to be over a million meals by the of the year. the goal is a hundred million players at the end of the season which is their first and a hundred million athletes across the sports to get involved as well, it's word-of-mouth. >> curtis is right. so many get the per diem checks and they don't use them and they are sitting around somewhere. he didn't forget and neither did brittany and her cousin jennifer. >> really nice. a hollywood super hero actor leaps into action. the reference that is earning thanks from the lifeguard. go hugh. announcer: this portion of "cbs

"the new york times" is reporting on the death of writer jim harrison. harrison's love of the outdoors was reflected in his novels and poems. his best known "legend of the fall" was adapted into a 1994 movie. harrison died saturday in arizona and he was 78.

so focused on their smartphones that they ignore the danger ahead. whether it's walking right into a wall or a head-on collision with a hanging plant. ouch. or even tumbling into a fountain! i remember that video. now one new jersey lawmaker wants to get tough with distracted walkers on public roadways in her state. her proposed bill could mean a fine or even jail time. cbs news legal expert rikki klieman joins us at the table to discuss. are you surprised this is even becoming a legal issue? isn't this a common sense issue? >> it's a common sense issue but we understand exactly why it's becoming a legal issue because we need to protect people from themselves! and that is the problem. actually, we also need to protect motorists from hitting someone who is so busy doing this that they are not looking. so, again, technology really has to go ahead of the law and the law is trying to catch up. >> how do you enforce that?

walking and crossing the street. >> part of the problem is it's arbitrariy and the law enforcement has other things to do. if you're in a high crime neighborhood, they are not watching for people who are texting and walking. on the other hand, if you're in a residential area and people are walking, which, by the way, if you are walking and texting, you go 60% off your straight line. people aimlessly wind up in the middle of the street. it's a problem with enforcement. then you look at penalties. it's one thing if they are doing here to deal with it like jaywalking and say, well, okay, it's a 50 dollar fine. but jaywalking also has a 15-day in jail penalty. do we really want to put people in jail for texting while walking? >> no. >> we don't, but, at the same time, when you have a bill like this, we are really looking at public safety. new york, by the way, has a

states have done. they are looking at dealing with the traffic. so you slow the speed limit down. or the pedestrian aisles or pedestrian malls. but, ultimately, these kind of laws are going to keep going forward. at some point i think it's going to be passed. >> you can see at any major intersection in new york four or five people crossing and looking at their smartphone. >> and when you look at these emergency admissions, we are not only talking about somebody taking a fall in a pothole, we are talking about someone getting seriously injured or killed by a car. >> that is why people call it a victimless crime. everybody thinks i can do it but i'm better than that guy. >> the polling is so fascinating about that, that we know people should not do it. and, at the same time, we think that even though we do it, it's okay. >> well, as you mentioned, it's also not just for yourself, it's somebody else. the car that has to slam on its

because you're crossing. >> absolutely. >> and they are trying to get people to do it voluntarily. >> phone companies are terrific about this and done public service announcements texting while driving and can tack this right on we want to make people aware that something as simple cell phone. >> chances of passage? >> chances of passage are pretty >> thank you. a chinese city has been down on its luck. their gaming revenue fell last year to a five-year low in due in part to government crackdowns on corruption. seth doane went to macau and met an american entertainer who is playing an every hand without stepping foot in a casino. >> reporter: he sure goes through a lot in a day. he appears only to disappear

he is burned alive, cut some ladies in half and later makes a car materialize out of thin air. what can you do here in macau, china, you could not do in las vegas? >> everything! >> reporter: american magician franz harare invited us into a multimillion dollar world he has created. you have your name up in lights here. >> i do. >> reporter: and it's in, of all places, macau, china. >> this is where the money is, you know? it's the wild west but if you can make it work, this is where the gold is. >> reporter: macau, a former portuguese portuguese colony was handed back to china in 1999 and nicknamed the las vegas of china but its bright lights have dimmed a bit. china's economic slowdown and government restrictions on gambling caused casino revenues in macau to drop more than 20%

they have plunged more than 20 straight months. in some ways, the drop in revens revenues is not hurting you? >> it's helping me. the weirdest damn thing, you know is in the drop in revenues is a direct result of gambling restrictions. if the chinese clientele aren't coming in to gamble as much, you have to offer them something else and that is what we are. i'm the alternative to blackjack. >> reporter: by 2013 macau was making seven times the gaming revenue of las vegas. but that was before china's president launched his government crackdown and has 160 communist party officials and limited flashy gifts and conspicuous consumption. >> you have to offer more. >> reporter: looking to

customers, lawrence ho built studio city here and financed the house of magic which, by some estimates, cost upwards of $15. it was a bill bet on franz harary who built reputations for michael jackson and usher and justin bieber touring shows. harary explains he wanted to create a place where he and his magician friends could perform and dazzling spectators and while visiting reporters today. >> whatever you do needs to look, whoa. natural, and real. >> reporter: whoa! how are you doing that? >> it doesn't matter how i did it, so longs you think that you can do it. you can. >> reporter: i actually don't think i can do it. >> reporter: later, he made goldfish appear from that dollar bill. thank you.

today, he generates more than four times of the casino takings of las vegas but slowing the slide of profits, they take more than some invisible string and fancy staging. for "cbs this morning," i'm seth doane in macau. >> where there is a will there is a way. >> a performer is saying i got to get to macau. franz harary, got the look and a cool name. from adele to john legend, some of the great music influences were inspired by jeff buckley.

columbia is part of an unfolding legacy, turning this once underground song writer into one of the most recognizable voices in music. with his haunting voice. >> reporter: and boyish looks, singer jeff buckley seemed poised for stardom. >> he was the most extraordinarily kind and compassionate person i ever met in my life. >> reporter: mary gilbert is buckley's mother. >> in the beginning, his songs were very experimental. he hadn't good night gotten song structure. every time he came with a new tape, he got exponentially better. >> reporter: buckley was 25 when he moved to new york in 1991 and became a regular performer in

a year later, he signed with columbia records. >> they weren't quite sure how to present this young man, because everybody was listening to hootie and the blowfish. >> and irvanna. so they thought let's get him into a good studio, a really good studio. >> reporter: so buckley went to new york's shelter island sound, where he worked with engineer steve adobo and producer steve berkowitz. over three days, they recorded six hours of tape. >> this is chapter one. this is the first concrete step past the playing at the club in the village. >> reporter: some tracks were impulsive covers. >> reporter: others, early versions of original song.

>> i don't remember things i did three weeks ago, but for 23 years, i remember the sight of him just throwing his head back and closing his eyes and just, like, the sound would come out. >> it was like that doesn't come into your studio all that often. >> reporter: just four years later, buckley drowned in the mississippi river. he had only released one album. the shelter island sessions sat on shelves for 23 years. until recently when columbia records and buckley's mother, decided they should be released, exactly as they were recorded. >> we want there to be a demand for jeff's work. that sort of part of the cyclical of life in the music

he had that musical history in his bones that he could having any direction and that is what is so tragic. >> reporter: stephanie brooks is a yale professor who wrote a book about buckley's legacy. >> to jimi hendrix, there are questions what should be released, why, how, and when. art should be used, right? it should be used but ethically. >> reporter: buckley continues to inspire an array of artists. radio heads tom york was struggling to record their hit song until he was inspired at a buckley concert. >> reporter: grammy winners john legend. >> reporter: and adele have said they were inspired by buckley's voice. hallelujah >> to me, that this is coming out and it's getting attention and young people are hearing

people can be artists just by walking in a room. and all it is is a guy and a guitar. hallelujah >> and just to see that he can do that with that little bit is inspirational to me still 23 years later. >> good night, everybody! >> it's amazing. the impact on the legacy that jeff buckley had, even off of a single album that people are still talking about him. there actually is more unheard buckley material in the archives that is up to his mother really whether it comes out. >> didn't you tell us that he had one of the great elujah "hallelujah" ever? >> that. there are multiple versions of it. >> his mother said the most kind, compassionate person. nice thing to say. >> you're watching "cbs this morning."
