7:04 am
facing some six murder charges. he had no criminal record and uber says that he passed a background check. now investigators say that he may have picked up at least one client during the shooting spree. the rampage began just before 6:00 saturday night. michigan state police say dalton first shot a woman multiple times in the parking lot of a kalamazoo townhouse complex and four hours later investigators believed he gunned down a father and son at a car dealership eight miles away. less than 20 minutes later, police say dalton shot five more people in a cracker barrel parking lot and killing four men and critically injuring a 14-year-old girl. at 12:40 on sunday morning, police say the 45-year-old father of two was pulled over and arrested after leaving a kalamazoo bar parking lot and authorities found a gun in his car. you have no reason to think he knew any of these people?
7:05 am
our common denominator here is him. i don't have connections between him and any of the victims. >> reporter: surveillance footage from this car dealership and cracker barrel helped kalamazoo authorities quickly identify the suspect driving a chef hhr. >> said something to him, this isn't the hhr, you're not the guy, are you? he kind of said no. >> reporter: mark dunton and two of his friends say they may have been dalton's last uber customers on saturday night. >> crazy to think somebody gone out and done these horrible things and come in with a straight fis like he is face and looking like he did nothing at all. >> reporter: this couple wish to remain anonymous. >> i half-heartedly joked at him said you're not the shooter, are you? he said, no. i said are you sure? and he said, no, i'm just really tired. >> he had a weapon in the car that he had just killed people with. >> reporter: in a statement on sunday, uber officials said they

7:07 am
he beat marco rubio by 11 points. ted cruz was a very close third. jeb bush suspended his campaign on saturday before they even finished counting the votes. he finished fourth in south carolina. dean reynolds is in las vegas where candidates are rushing to pick up support before tomorrow's gop caucuses. dean, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, history appears to be on donald trump's side in this race, because in recent years, no republican candidate has won both the new hampshire primary and the south carolina primary, and then gone on to lose the nomination. >> i love to win. don't we love to win? love it. >> reporter: in georgia on sunday, trump sounded carried away by his big win in neighboring south carolina hours earlier. >> i tell you what, we are just going one after another. are we going to win georgia? yes. >> reporter: even a temporary blackout was not enough to dim his enthusiasm.
7:08 am
plus, we save on electricity, right? >> reporter: having raised questions about ted cruz's right to run for president, trump turned a similar argument against marco rubio sharing a tweet that questioned the florida's eligibility. though, trump said he wasn't sure one way or another the other. >> i haven't looked at it. somebody said he is not and i retweeted it. 14 million people between facebook and twitter and instagram. >> reporter: rubio said the move was typical trump. >> he says something edgy and outrageous and media flocks and covers that and no one else can get any coverage on that. >> reporter: second place finish in south carolina, rubio argued more than one way to look at trump's win. >> of the people left in this race no one can unite this party faster than i can. >> reporter: with the republican field shrinking, he seeses an advantage.
7:09 am
saw his own advantage. >> we are seeing people come together behind our campaign because we are the only campaign that has beaten donald trump and that can beat donald trump. >> reporter: now some pretty big crowds turned out for marco rubio's three events on sunday and for viewers with a sharp eye, yes, that is donnie e wallberg who showed up in nevada to endorse the florida senator even though wahlberg acknowledged he has never voted for a republican presidential candidate in his life. >> dean, we are big fans of him. thank you, dean. south carolina is the next test in the democratic campaign. hillary clinton hopes to follow-up on saturday's victory in nevada. she beat bernie sanders by six points but the candidates are still arguing over who won a key segment of the voters. nancy cordes is in greenville, south carolina, where sanders campaigned yesterday after
7:10 am
that nevada victory was a huge relief for the clinton camp and preserved her front-runner status and they have no time to dwell on it because 13 contests in the next ten days, starting here in south carolina. shrugging off his nevada loss, sanders told a crowd of thousands in greenville, he's on a roll. >> if you look at national polls and you want to a candidate who is going to defeat donald trump, you're looking at that candidate! >> reporter: tell that to clinton, who blitzed the vegas strip the last 48 hours to beat back a late sanders' surge. >> some may have doubted us but we never doubted each other! >> reporter: older voters, women and african-americans, were all key to clinton's victory. while younger voters, once again, were heavily for sanders.
7:11 am
is disputing entrance polls that showed sanders won the latino vote by eight points. it is not possible that clinton lost the latino vote, the campaign writes, citing her double-digit win in the heavily latino clark county, home of las vegas. as the caucus we attended caesar's pals lass, the women voters were overwhelming clinton. >> amazing [ inaudible ]. >> reporter: the fight goes on! >> reporter: it's not academic. both candidates are trying to prove they have an appeal for minority votes. >> our support in the latino community has gone up and i think you're seeing our spaurt upport in the african-american community going up as well. >> reporter: sanders is winning the money raise according to january fund-raising totals. he outraised clinton last month
7:12 am
her as well which could explain why she is in california today fund-raising. >> thanks. "face the nation" moderator and cbs news political director john dickerson is in washington. john, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> reporter: on the one hand, people say, marco rubio and others say donald trump is only getting one-third of the republican vote. a as well, other people suggest if anybody on the republican side wins new hampshire and south carolina, they are almost unstoppable. how do you bring those two ideas together? >> well, we are going to find out now. the field has will lowed and this is what the anti-trump forces have been hopefully, waiting for. one person that can represent the mainstream republican vote going up against donald trump. but the challenge then, and that person, marco rubio, says, is him, john kasich disputes that, but rubio is going to have to take the case to trump. what we saw in south carolina is what we see with every trump
7:13 am
that he can survive, just quickly what he survived in south carolina, being booed at two debates and taking on george w. bush and getting in a fight with the pope and he survived all of that to win. so he looks in pretty good shape right now. >> let's look forward to march 1st, super tuesday. who is best positioned to do well in those states, huge delegate load there. >> well, donald trump is best positioned. he has got the momentum of these wins. he is doing well in those states. obviously, ted cruz has an advantage in texas. he also -- cruz also has advantage in those southern states that are on super tuesday. but the problem for ted cruz is look at south carolina that was a state with 75 roughly percent of the evangelical voters and a lot of conservative voters and he couldn't beat trump there, after having been in sustained combat with him a month he couldn't beat him back. that suggests it's hard for him to do that on super tuesday.
7:14 am
jeb bush's departure from the race? it was an emotional time for him on saturday night. i'm wondering if you heard anything about that? >> both rubio and kasich said they have talked to people who donated to just about bush and have gotten some support. it looks like marco rubio is benefiting more. it's not so much the voters that will come to those two candidates, but it's the money and so, right now, it looks like marco rubio may be grabbing some of that more than john kasich. >> it continues. john dickerson, thank you so much. work this morning for the first antonin scalia. thousands of mourners gathered in washington saturday for his funeral. scalia's son paul led mass at the nation's largest roman catholic church. jan crawford is at the supreme court where the remaining justices will hear oral jan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. i mean, today really starts an uncertain chapter for supreme court. none of these eight justices have ever served on the supreme
7:15 am
but when they take their seats on the bench this morning, scalia's will be empty the next 30 days and it's going to be covered in a black memorial cloth. now, today's cases are run-of-the-mill. one is a criminal case and one about government contracts but it is hard to imagine an oral argument without justice scalia there. he was such a dominate presence and without scalia, remember, this court is now divided 4-4 along ideological lines. many of the controversial cases will probably end up in a tie and that means the lower court decision will stand, unless the supreme court decides to reset them for argument next term. >> jan, what are your sources telling you about where we are in terms of picking a successor for scalia? >> reporter: well, the president has already started reviewing files on possible nominees but the republicans are saying that, you know, they are not going to confirm anyone that he sends up to the senate with the court in the balance, they don't want him to turn it to the left. the stakes could not be any higher.
7:16 am
the fbi director is making a very personal and passionate plea in the standoff with apple over the san bernardino gunman's iphone. james comey writes we simply want the chance with a search warrant to try to guess the terrorist's pass code without the phone essentially self-destructing and without it taking a decade to guess correctly. that's it. he said we don't want to break anyone's encryption or set a master key loose on the land. we can't look the survivors in the eye or ourselves in the mirror if we don't follow this lead. tim cook says complying with the order would set a dangerous precedent. >> secretary kerry says a cease-fire in syria is closer than ever. bombings yesterday in damascus nd it killed up to 150 people. elizabeth palmer is on a rare

at the scene of one of the attacks. elizabeth, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. i'm standing just a few yards from where one of those massive car bombs went off. and the definite station is epic. the front of the buildings blown clean off. the people who lived in those apartments, the shopkeepers who had their businesses on the ground floor, they are all dead. isis was never party to cease-fire but this proves their commitment to total war. however, the other players in this war, this conflict, do say they are ready for some kind of a truce. president assad said he was ready it over the weekend and the opposition says they are going to try too. but the devil, as always, is in the details. when would it start? who would participate? who would monitor it? in northern syria, the syrian army, backed by russian planes, are conducting a huge offensive
7:18 am
aleppo. at the moment, they are winning. that may be a reason behind the scenes that the assad government is actually dragging its heels on any kind of truce. to talk to russian president vladimir putin to try and add some heft to this push for some sort of limited pause in the war. >> incredible reporting there. thank you, elizabeth palmer in damascus damascus, syria. the cdc said it underestimated the health risks of lumber liquidator's flooring.

8:03 am
the top three finishers will be campaigning in nevada today. trump trump swept the victory in saturday as voter turnout set a record. marco rubio edged out ted cruz for second place by over 1,000 votes and jeb bush's third disappointing loss in a row marked the end of his presidential campaign. he suspended his campaign before all of the votes were counted. peggy noonan is a cbs news contributor and is writing about the 2016 presidential race. good morning. >> good morning. it is monday! yea! >> we love monday. >> it was tough to see jeb bush on the stage pull out of the race. what do you think that says about where we are now? >> oh, my gosh. it says a million things. this was a candidacy that i was skeptical of actually from the beginning. it didn't seem to me that jeb was the answer to any question
8:04 am
i think he proved that there is a lot of people in politics think we have got the money, we have got the money and we will blow you away. he had the money and he didn't blow anybody away. they think we can buy up all of the advisers and consultants and we are going to kill you. he handled all of those consultants and that talent and it didn't work. nothing is sure in politics and that was something that didn't work. >> 150 million dollars didn't work. >> they say i wonder what is left and i wonder where it goes, you know? >> sometimes a right time to run and sometimes a wrong time to run. >> yeah, that's true. also. there was a funny -- joy was a highly successful two-term governor of florida. a while since he had run for office. he was not a great candidate. part of the reason, you constantly saw his sense of unease out there.
8:05 am
mysterious and i wonder what it was about. in a way jeb was really working and on the other side his psyche wasn't into it and his smile i noticed never reached his eyes. you know? whereas a john kasich, he can't stop smiling. he is trying to get his eyes to calm down. >> a happy warrior. >> yeah, i think he is. >> donald trump is now leading in the 10 of the next 14 states, leading in the polls. is he unstoppable? >> well, you know, the proper approach of anybody prognosticating in politics right now is humidity lity. >> this doesn't seem like the year of humility. >> oh, no. i mean for prognosticators! i was to preface everything with, my god, nobody has any idea. but look.
8:06 am
would stop himself with his mouth, with his feeling you didn't know what he was going to say next and he didn't know what he was going to say next. he hasn't stopped himself and he has just grown on. interesting he had 25% of the party and polls and then maybe 30 and then maybe 34. it seems to me as he continues to roll up wins, as we expect he will, that ceiling will probably get higher which will affect things. >> look to the democrats. where do you think hillary is today? >> hillary is saved. she took it right in the face in new hampshire, had a dangerous loss. she just came back in nevada. she can now, i think, sort of subtly or not subtly paint her competitor bernie sanders as not a movement, but a little protest outlet. >> do you think bernie sanders
8:07 am
>> you know, i think so far in two ways -- assuming he doesn't beat her, he has helped her in the fact that he gave her someone to sharpen herself against when she ran but also forced her to come up with a meaning of her campaign, that ogress that is possible. i believe in politics is the art of the possible. that seems to me what she is saying. in other words, she is saying, my promises, i can actually deliver. he can't deliver anything. he is making all of these things up. >> all right, peggy. >> depending on how many new voters he can bring into the race. >> that is very exciting. even as it is on the trump side. new voters are a big part of it this year. >> still very early in the race. remember that. still very early in this race. thank you, peggy noonan. good to see you. pop star kesha is getting support this morning from some of the biggest names in music. a judge last week ruled she cannot leave her recording contract. now the pop star claims her

8:17 am
most of the test takers were juniors and seniors. he was a 14-year-old sophomore. what does it feel like to have been perfect on this test? >> honestly, it's a little overwhelming. it's lots of interviews like this. >> reporter: and the tweet from the president? >> that was pretty cool. >> reporter: pretty cool? that is an understatement, right? >> yeah. >> reporter: his perfect score placed him in the top.004%. that means 1 in what? >> 25,000? >> reporter: i got 2,500. >> that would be -- it's .004%. >> oh, very good! he beat me at math. beating a tv news reporter at math is no big deal but landon's parents say perfection is a big deal for him. mom and dad, were you surprised
8:18 am
>> reporter: not because you don't think highly of him? >> no, no. make a silly mistake? >> i did. >> reporter: even college professors who write the exams make mistakes. >> the professors don't expect this and it's remarkable when a high school student who doesn't have a college degree let alone a h. ph.d. in this subject area does not miss a point. >> reporter: landon credits his calculus teacher ann watkins. >> reporter: can calculus be intuitive? >> absolutely. >> reporter: you come to calculus to push the limits? >> absolutely. one of my t-shirts say calculus students know their limits. >> reporter: that is something cedric understands as well, a 17-year-old senior in lincoln high school in los angeles, he, too, is one of the 12 students with a perfect score on the calculus exam. >> i like to absolutely -- math there is always an answer.
8:19 am
always an answer in upper level math. sometimes there are unsolved problems and just the unknown out there that makes me want to, you know, solve it. >> reporter: cedric's record with rubik cube is 15 seconds and he has a near obsession with avoiding careless errors in math. >> i don't like make is mistakes, i don't. >> reporter: cedric's mother is a nurse foreign in the philippines and his mother is a maintenance worker originally from el salvador. >> this country offers a lot of good things to the immigrants, like us. so i'm just thankful. >> i didn't have the opportunity to -- we are here to help him do whatever he wants. >> reporter: aside from the perfect score, that is another big thing cedric and landon have in common -- parents who encourage their children to do their best.
8:20 am
like landon, his best just keeps getting better, so it's hard to know when he has done his best. >> reporter: as you can see, i've been using the time productively to sharpen my math skills and not sure about the last one. the number of today is 12. the number who had a perfect score on this exam. by the way, both landon and cedric want to be engineers. landon wants to possibly send a rocket to mars and cedric wants to design something that is so cool that his name will be known around the world. >> believe! i believe that is going to happen! >> i believe. >> that's right. >> i love both parents, too. the pride that both parents felt about their sons. >> yeah. >> really good to see. >> that is the american story. >> that's right. >> immigrants come here and their kids take a real place. >> succeed. don't we line it? the best just keep getting better.

8:32 am
one neighbor in new york remembers her as hospitalible and she made them promise not to reveal details about her life. harper was laid to rest over the weekend.

8:33 am
in modern nba history. that is huge. >> 59 is a lot of points in the nba. he has prel real promising potential. tension is on display in the fbi's standoff with apple over the san bernardino terrorist iphone. a powerful intelligence insider is weighing in. retired general major michael hayden says apple is right in principle, but the government has a point. hayden created and oversaw programs designed to keep americans safe. he is director of the national security agency and director of the cia in the past and he is now telling his side of the story in a new book called "playing to the edge american intelligence in the age of terror." general hayden, good morning. >> good morning. >> let's look at the fbi story and make sure we understand exactly what you think. you have on the one hand, the fbi says we ought to be able to look at this.
8:34 am
only asking you to do it one time. >> right. >> ian >> apple says no such thing as one time. it means we are opening up privacy and violating the privacy of those people who buy iphones. what do you say. >> this is a morality play for the theme of the book which i describe is tough choices and not about the forces of light and the force of darkness. this is about balancing two virt things we want, liberty and safety and acting out in this particular sphere. i think apple is right in terms of opposing universal back doors to make it easier for any government to get into encrypted communications. >> but is that what the government is asking them? >> no. but i am not convinced that what the fbi is asking apple to do in san bernardino is that. and i think the burden of proof is on apple to show that there is an inevitable slippery slope
8:35 am
request from the bureau, a slippery slope from that to this thing over here. charlie, look. as you said, i ran nsa. back doors are back doors. if they are in there, good security services around the world will exploit that and take advantage of that. >> government too? >> the government actually wish us no good. >> you also say in the book when it comes to national security and protecting our privacy and our lives, sometimes you have to go right to the edge and do whatever it takes. >> that's right. >> is it a bit of a contradiction to say, well, i don't totally oppose i agree with a back door? do you know what i'm saying? >> gayle, i get it and this is a perpetual gray area and never easy choices but there are lines. i say playing to the edge and you should not go beyond a certain point. in my judgment, in this particular case is that universal back doors, although it may facilitate american law
8:36 am
purposes, on balance, on balance, actually are an overall negative for american security, not just american privacy. >> why would law enforcement or intelligence agencies need the iphone exactly? in other words, you can go through the cloud. they have already checked his phone records, know who he has spoken with and pretty much cleaned a lot of material doing all of that. >> they have. and that is one of the arguments folks like me use for no universal back doors. there are other tools available. but, norah, in this particular case, it wasn't backed up to the cloud. and -- >> for the past 44 days before the attack? >> right. and you can't get it to talk to the cloud without getting into it and changing its cloud code. and so you're back to apple needs to suppress the current ios which will destroy the data if you have unsuccessful attempt to open it. >> can you clear something up for me?
8:37 am
on saturday the fbi put out a blog case and this morning, tim cook e-mailing. a public relations war going on between the two of them. isn't it true in the past apple has been cooperative and worked with the cia in the past? >> i won't get into operational details and apple has made it quite public they have been cooperative with american law enforcement with cases like this one but now apple is drawing this line. >> ios 7 or ios 8? >> i wouldn't get into the specifics. that is one of the detailed arguments that tilts this one way or the other. >> interesting thing is district attorney of new york has said he has got about 170 cases in which he can't gain access to an iphone and he needs that evidence in terms of dangerous criminals. >> no. frankly, charlie, i think the u.s. attorney here making that case undercuts jim comey's
8:38 am
i need your help. >> can we talk about your book for a second? >> please! >> here you are, the master secret keeper. for years you keep all of the secrets and now you're writing a book about the secrets. i'm curious will the process for you and was it difficult for you to do? did you struggle with it? i think the edge is in terms of classification. but everything then has to be cleared and, in this case, by cia, and nsa and the director of national intelligence. and, frankly, gayle, in the conversations, i pretty much got to say everything i wanted to say, even if not in all cases i got to say it the way i wanted to say it. >> what was your process? >> i picked a topic. let's take the syrian nuclear reactor. >> let's take that. >> long airplane rides with my ipad and kind of put out about
8:39 am
consciousness and realized a lot of i don't remember. go to the agency, ask to see documents. ask to talk to people. meet with them. enrich the basic outline that i have. now i'm about 80%, 85% of the way i need to be on that particular chapter. >> can i ask you about the current presidential debate? i know you know bob gates well, the former secretary of defense. he has essentially said it would be -- it's embarrassing the level of dialogue that is going on. when a candidate says they want to carpet bomb isis into possible? >> no and it would be unmoral ourselves. right. remember, i began by saying infin in gray. >> donald trump said he would waterboard. >> he said he would waterboard and a lot worse because they
8:40 am
this was never looking backward. this was trying to keep americans safe looking forward. people can argue what we did but it was never a form of punishment. >> do drones raise any morality question for you? >> obviously, i was intimately involved in targeted killings and in detail in the book and always raises moral questions. when the phone would ring in the middle of the night, charlie, i mean this, before i would pick it up, i said to myself, hayden, listen up. whatever you are going to decide on this call, you're going to live with the rest of your lirve. >> i've been told by cia directors there have been moments they identify where they would get by a drone a leading terrorist and they have decided not to because they knew the family was too close. >> well, you make these value judgments all the time. the laws of war, necessity proportionality and distinction and it goes through your mind. i tell a story in the book with
8:41 am
took a shot at a wmd exert for be al qaeda even though his grandson was nearby. we contributed to the intelligence to that shot. >> you had to make the decision. >> the united states had to make the decision do you take it or not? we tried to avoid the civilian loss of life. >> but the grandson was killed in that scenario? . you had you can live with that? >> i can but without cavalier, i have grandchildren. when you're director of these kinds of agencies, you still have your personal moral self but you're acting on behalf of the nation and you have to realize it's a failure to make a tough decision. the failure to take that kind of shot could actually lead to something catastrophic. >> general hayden, thank you. the book is called "playing to the edge" and goes on sale tomorrow. only on "cbs this morning," inside the designed studios at the american girl headquarters, the company is revealing its new historical doll and what is her name?

8:46 am
faces of little girls. >> i like her! >> reporter: what is it about american girl? >> i think it's that we have stayed true to our mission and our purpose, and while it would be really easy to call us a doll company, we have always seen ourselves as story tellers. >> reporter: vice president of marketing julia prohas ka says their doll comes with books that tap into imagination while providing a rich history lesson. >> we put at the center, stories and advice for girls that really are intended to help them be their personal best. >> reporter: stories like kia, is a native american girl who wants to become a leader for her people. or addie, a child slave who escaped to freedom. what wrol do you think the doll industry has in making sure there is diversity and little girls see that at a very early age? >> i think the doll industry has a very heavy responsibility in reflecting what is true about our society.
8:47 am
company was criticized for discontinuing four characters. two were minorities. african-american and a chinese american. in the 30 years, you've designed over 20 character dolls but only three of them had been black. >> uh-huh. >> reporter: why is that? >> when we launched addie, the universal feeling was that we needed to address the very difficult topic of slavery before we addressed any other experience in black history. >> then the orange one. >> reporter: this summer, american girl is addressing another chapter of black history with the release of melody ellison. >> so here she is. >> reporter: she is a 9-year-old girl growing up in detroit during the 1960s several times era who loves to sing and uses her voice to make a difference. why did it take until 2016 to see a doll that is representative of arguably one of the most important period for
8:48 am
