we begin this morning with a look at today's "eye opener." your world in 90 seconds. we won't be distracted no matter what our opponents throw at us. we are just getting warmed up. right? >> the clinton campaign fires back at the director of the fbi. >> you slammed fbi director comey for going long on innuendo and light on facts. >> to throw into the campaign 11 days out with a break with a president is inappropriate. >> hillary clinton is not victim, by the way. you, the american people, are the victims of this corrupt system. >> another powerful earthquake rattled central italy. >> this tremendouser, the strongest since 1980. the week-long manhunt in oklahoma is now over. michael vance has been killed by officers after a shoot-out. a kaw plcar plowed into a racing fans in martinsville speedway in virginia.

danger. i'm not having fun! you're ruining my chance! dang it. announcer: this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by toyota. let's go places! ? ? welcome to "cbs this morning". the fbi now has a search warrant to review whether newly discovered e-mails passed through hillary clinton's private servers. the messages were found on a laptop used by former congressman anthony weiner. he is longtime clinton aide huma abedin. >> eric holder and other ex-federal prosecutors and officials have signed a letter criticizing fbi director james comey. holder writes in "the washington post" that comey made a serious error and said it is up to the director to correct his mistake not for the sake of a political candidate or campaign but in order to protect our system of justice and best serve the american people. in july, comey recommended no

server while she was secretary of state. jeff pegues is outside of fbi headquarters in washington. jeff, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. law enforcement sources say the fbi is trying to get the technology infrastructure in place to sort through these thousands of new e-mails that they want to review. we are told that the e-mails were discovered earlier this month, but fbi doctor james comey said he didn't find out about them until cbs news has learned that fbi director james comey have been call members of congress who demanded he release more information about the review of the new e-mails. comey is under fire for making the disclosure 11 days before the plex. >> there is no way for the public to make an informed judgment. >> reporter: adam shift says friday's announcement broke agency protocol.

speaking about open or closed investigations, but also the d.o.j. policy about speaking about an investigation this close to an election. >> reporter: in a letter addressed to the fbi director on sunday, democratic senator harry reid accused comey of partisan actions and alleged he may have broken the law by violating the hatch act that bans most federal and some other government employees from participating in political activities that could help or on hurt a partisan group or candidate in a partisan election. investigators seized the laptop belonging to long time clinton aid huma abedin and estranged husband anthony weiner into a separate probe into weiner's alleged sexual communication with underaged girl and comey sent a vagary worded to congress on friday saying he did not know whether or not this material may

disclose the information. officials debated whether they would be accused of trying to manipulate the election by hiding the renewed investigation with evidence was found. officials ultimately concluded that the letter was the most credible approach after comey alleged to inform congress if anything else came up with clinton's use of private e-mail server. >> we would additional information. >> we commend the fbi to keep their word. >> reporter: over the weekend vice presidential candidate mike pence praised comey's decision. >> what the decision this week showed even 11 days before an election no one is above the law. >> reporter: law enforcement sources say that abedin is cooperating and seems surprised that the e-mails were on a laptop. gayle? >> thank you, jeff. 71% in our latest cbs news battlegrond tracker poll say

not change their vote. some of those people in 13 battleground states have already voted. just 5% of democrats say it makes them less likely to vote for hillary clinton. nancy cordes has clinton's response to the fbi letter. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, with so many americans voting right now, the clinton camp didn't have time to dwell on what they saw as an unfair move by the fbi. instead, they are moving aggressively to shape public opinion on this, calling on the fbi to the director to explain himself with the assumptionha offense. >> it's pretty strange to put something like that out this with such little information right before an election. >> reporter: clinton came down hard this weekend on comey's move. >> it's unprecedented and it is deeply troubling. >> reporter: her campaign followed that up with a facebook video. >> the more information has come out the more overblown this all seems. >> it's already been viewed more

>> you're probably as putsled and outraged as we are. >> are any of your going to be distracted. >> tim kaine kaine argued that outrage was helping the campaign. >> it is kind of revved up enthusiasm. a little bit of -- a little bit of righteous indignation and righteous anger. it's revved it up a about. >> reporter: huma abedin was clinton's longest serve aide and stayed in new york over the new york and anthony weiner in august. >> huma. they just found a lot of them. we never thought we were going to say thank you to anthony weiner. >> reporter: campaign chairman john podesta said no changes to abedin's duties in these final eight days. >> shes played a central and vital role in this campaign and she continues to do that. >> reporter: at a church in ft. lauderdale, clinton said the bible had taught her about ri resilience. >> no matter what is thrown our

up. >> reporter: one thing giving the clinton camp hope right now is the fact that so many americans, more than 20 million, had already voted before the fbi took this step. norah, the campaign has been careful to use words like puzzling and confusing to describe comey's move and allowing on other democrats like harry reid they know will go a lot further. >> a close race in three states. within a margin of poll was taken before the latest e-mail news come out. trump holds a two-point lead in arizona and arizona three points in colorado and three points in north carolina and ahead in pennsylvania by eight points. over the weekend, trump lashed out at clinton over the e-mail discovery. major garrett is covering the trump campaign. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. republicans in battleground states tell me they can feel the ground shifting and this race tightening significantly.

predicting a trump victory yet but they say clinton's e-mail woes are rallying trump who is hitting these notes with everything he's got. >> now the fbi has found, you're not going to believe this one. this just happened. another 650,000 e-mails. >> reporter: donald trump placed hillary clinton's ongoing e-mail scandal at the center of his stump speech sunday. >> i think that's called motherlode. i think they found them all. >> reporter: delighted. >> the department of justice is fighting the fbi, that's because the department of justice is trying so hard to protect hillary clinton. >> reporter: prior to friday's discovery, the fbi was a favorite trump boogie man. part of a rigged beltway culture

>> they have essentially corrupted the director of the fbi. what has happened with the fbi is so sad. do they make a deal where everybody protects each other in washington? maybe that's it? i really believe? >> reporter: the agency is now back on trump's good side. >> what happened today, starting with the fbi, may be the system will become a little less rigged. >> reporter: trump is counting on voters' anger with clinton to help win over skeptical republicans and build on his enthusiasm edge. the latest cbs news poll shows a majority of trump supporters in north carolina and arizona are more enthusiastic than in previous election. less than 40% of clinton supporters feel the same way. >> we are leading numerous national polls and those polls

>> reporter: over the weekend, trump continued warning about nonexistent voter fraud repeated his promise to bring back waterboarding and said clinton lacks immigration policy could allow 650 million people to sneak into america in just one week. it's why even newly optimistic republicans fear trump's pension for veering off script could undercut his recent surge in momentum. cbs news political director and "face the nation" moderator john dickerson is in washington. >> reporter: good morning, charlie. >> what impact and what might be discovered that could make this a game-changer? >> well, i'm still trying to handle this first discovery. i can't imagine what might be discovered. we used to have october surprises. it was a single day in october. now the entire month is a surprise. i think, though, the change, of course, is the conversation all about hillary clinton and a damaging thing for hillary clinton, and something that

behave in a way that reinforces people's skepticism or concerns about it, which is why it's really interesting whether they will continue going after comey which is basically all they can do or whether they pivot. but the question is does it move anything? and, you know, our polling and other polling shows that on account surprises aren't what they used to be because everybody sorts new information about their existing partisanship. a lot of partisan sorting and not a lot of people sloshing between the two candidates and 22 milli already been cast. the activity on saturday suggested that early turnout among democrats you might expect a little dampening after this news coming hasn't happened so we will see how it plays out the last couple of days. but the real thing to watch is the republicans who were skeptical about trump that they have been worried about on the republican side, does it change any of those minds and that is what i'm looking for. >> did mr. comey have any other options?

election to reveal this he could have faced other accusations. any other way to handle this? >> i don't know. we don't know exactly what he has and seems to be confusing. you're right. imagine if nothing had been said and it came out after the election. it seemed like this was designed in a way to make nobody happy no matter what the election outcome is people are going to look to the fbi and have complaints. it is curious this idea of if the warrant had not been issued when he put o announcement and, therefore, they hadn't looked at the e-mails or -- it seems mentioning that might have lowered some of the speculation. of course, they might have looked at the e-mails without a warrant. there is no evidence of that. i guess it's quite confusing why there was not something to kind of keep everybody from wildly speculating because a lot of speculation and we see donald trump saying the only reason they did this is because they found some huge bombshell in the new cache of e-mails. >> you mentioned that more than

voted in the early votes so there is some question about how much this may influence the final outcome. what have we learned from those early vote numbers? >> well, we find that -- you know, it depends on the different states how it's working. there is -- it's up in -- north carolina, for example, democrats are up but they are down from where they were in '12. we know there a lot of early voting going on. it will change in its composition. so we -- we don't really have a although the democrats say that they are up in the early voting compared to republicans. >> but down from '12 and they lost in '12. >> right but you have the composition the electorate is different and north carolina voting rules and florida is different. comparisons to '12 you have to be careful about them. >> exactly. thanks, john. in our next hour, donald trump's campaign manager kellyanne conway will be here in studio 57 and we will get her candidate's latest reaction to the fbi letter ahead on "cbs this morning."

leaders. aircraft carrier is said to be traveling to a strike position in the mediterranean. an accident involving an american airlines jet has touched off an investigation into certain engines made by general telectric. this plane caught fire on friday as it was taking off. all people were evacuated. the fire was caused by a disk that broke apart inside the trial getting under way of a former south carolina police officer charged with murdering an unarmed black man. michael slager who is white was caught on cell phone video last year while he was shooting at a black man. uber ex-passengers, researchers in boston found drivers cancel more than 10% of

cancellations dropped under 5% for passengers with white sounding names. the difference was much smaller for lyft passengers. both uber and lyft say they do not tolerate sexual discrimination. the sexual assault scandal rocking baylor university and its football team is far worse than previously disclosed. "60 minutes sports" has learned since 2011, 17 female students had claims again football players and that included four alleged gank rag rapes. ken starr and art briles lost their jobs. armen keteyian has been investigating since may. he talked with top administrators. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. our variationinvestigation reve raymond ramsslaur offer crossed with crawford.

police results including one for a baylor student who claimed she was gang raped. the gang raped encloses armstead and chapman in 2013. baylor university was contacted about the charges. reagan said the baylor campus police department he oversees had a history of bearing sexual assault complaints that came t >> here it is. >> reporter: you'll notice here, baylor university was contacted as part and parcel to the investigation of this incident report. nothing ever happened for well over a year. i'm just wondering what happened there? was there an investigation and, if not, why not? you have a police report. >> there was a police report. i suppose it stayed with the police department. it never came out of the police

a significant failure to respond by our police department. there is no doubt about it. >> reporter: the victim blaming would be one answer. the other answer, i'll go back to it, is protecting the football team, protecting that brand. >> i don't believe that was at all the reason. i really think that it was probably feeling -- i don't know what was said, if they did talk to them. i don't know. >> reporter: they did talk to the victim. there is no question. there was -- it's a detailed police report. >> right. there was a tle was opened up, we opened up that up and that is when i learned about it. and, at that time, we took the appropriate actions and eventually he was found responsible. >> reporter: eventually, he was. but in 2014, travon armstead was all big 12 tight end. >> that th-- that would be true >> reporter: patty crawford has years of investigating sexual assaults but nothing she said prepared her for baylor. in your mind, who is responsible?

right up to the highest level of baylor, and i'm including the board of regents? >> absolutely. there were a lot of people like me at the university that did not want these things happening and fighting for it, but they didn't have the power or the authority and they were not heard. that is institutional. what drives a culture? it's the top. and that was the hardest thing for me to come to grips with after all of this, this report is released after all of this, the discrimination became so clear, even against me. that's power and that is control. what is rape about? power and control. >> reporter: baylor prides itself on its christian values and creating a caring community. but our investigation found a culture where victims who came forward found themselves blamed

strict code of conduct, which prohibits drinking and premarital sex. >> so this is as much about a culture as one particular individual? >> absolutely. we talked to four of the board of regents and i interviewed the interim president and former coach of baylor, who sexual assault allegations were raised to that coach and went forward to the athletic department and that coach was told, "that's not your job. your job is to coach." >> did briles defend some of the member of board of trustees? >> art briles is caught in the middle of this and a lot going on here, charlie, from the victim blaming which baylor now admits for the first time we blamed the victims, to i think what is happening with art briles is it's confusing to say the least right now because just take for a second. if reagan ramshaer said the reports stopped in the baylor police department, i would ask

>> ramsbaer had an interesting verse. >> patty crawford laid out the senior leadership at baylor what was happening and reagan ramshauer who denied saying this, patty said outloud in the meeting that these were not facts, that these women had mental illness. >> mental illness? >> that is the culture that dealing with at baylor. >> can you e armsee armen's ful report on "60 minutes sports" tomorrow night on hbo. >> drivers may help the flow of traffic who merge. a controversial driving maneuver is called the zipping merge.

? last-minute merges on highways are often blamed for causing a little bit of road but engineers and a handful of states are now encouraging drivers to use what they are calling the zipper merge. it's when drivers wait until the final moments to join a single lane of traffic before the construction zones. kris van cleave is driving through the 395 tunnel under construction in washington to explain this controversial move. >> reporter: well, good morning. this construction zone is one where lanes can go away and it can be very congested with

the challenge is getting all of these drivers to understand it's okay to merge at the last minute. >> i stay in that lane as long as possible and then i merge into it. >> reporter: can you really blame deanna graves? when the other cars line up in the right lane, all that empty pavement on the left is just sitting there unused. now some traffic engineers are saying, go! use that space! so it's okay to cut? >> it's okay to take turns. >> reporter: kansas is one of at least eight states to try what is known as system. the state department of transportation put up signs asking drivers to use both lanes and take turns near a bridge construction project outside of kansas city. kdot is finding this brings predictability to the community and know it takes five to six minutes to get through the work zone in peak traffic and from the air you can see the cars keep moving and they come together -- well, like the teeth of a zipper. hence, the zipper merge.

we are moving. traffic engineer chris ty erickson showed us the zipper. >> they made a gap. weren't sure at first. >> reporter: one of the big challenges is retraining drivers not to merge early. some states have gotten creative to explain how lining up ahead of time can increase the backup. >> if they just do the zipper merge, that line wouldn't be so long. >> reporter: several studies t zipperer merging including 50% of shorter lines and reduction in speed and drivers reporting less anxiety and frustration. >> here in california, we are all about safety. >> reporter: mark zinger says his state continues to urge drivers to merge early. >> we don't want those people to cut in at the very last second.

rage incidents but sudden braking which can cause a direct collision. >> reporter: do you see a stday where the zipper merge is a norm. >> >> yes. it's one of those things come along as our cities grow that comes as welcome news to deanna graves. so this is like a life changing day for you? you're no longer the bad driver on the road? >> yes. my life is complete. yes. >> reporter: the zipper merge only works in high traffic, if it's a work zone traveling closer to freeway speeds, experts say it's better to merge early and safely. >> kris, thank you. that makes sense. i feel like when you're on the highway, everybody is going fast and takes a while to get over. >> it doesn't seem to be the safest thing to do, i have to say. someone who has done it a couple times. >> what do you think of the zipper merge? >> i'm for it.

? it is monday, october 31st, 2016. you know what that means? happy halloween! welcome back to "cbs this morning.? there is more real news ahead, including the fbi director criticized for telling congress about more linked to hillary clinton. see how it's changing what the candidates say about him. first, here's a look at today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> the e-mails were discovered earlier this month, but james comey said he didn't find out about them until last thursday. >> the clinton camp is moving aggressively to shape public opinion on this and calling on the fbi director to explain himself. >> hillary clinton's new fbi woes are rallying skeptical republicans to trump who are trying to hit these notes with

>> what might be discovered that could make this a game-changer? >> i'm still trying to handle this first discovery. i can't imagine what might be discovered. we used to have october surprises. it was a single day in october. now the entire month is a surprise. two members of his own family shot law enforcement officers and then posted on social media warning of more random attacks. it ended right here on this county road in rural oklahoma where we are this morning. italy is earthquake that hit the region. >> take a look how these dancers at a charlotte, north carolina hornets game got down during intermission. ? >> i'm charlie with gayle king and norah o'donnell.

warrant. they are on a laptop shared by long time aide huma abedin and her estranged husband anthony weiner. fbi director sent congress on friday a vaguely worded letter saying he didn't know if the e-mails may be significant. >> former attorney general eric holder, along with nearly 100 former justice departments officials on both sides of the aisle said they were aston extinguished and -- astonished and perplexed by come yinch comey's decision. since july, when comey recommended no criminal charges against a former secretary of state, clinton and donald trump have had different reactions to the e-mail server investigation. >> although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable

>> today is the best evidence ever that we have seen that our system is absolutely, totally rigged. >> we did not find evidence sufficient to establish that she knew she was sending classified information beyond a reasonable doubt. >> look at what he said when he testified before congress. because when he did, he clarified much of what he had said in his press conference and i appreciated that. >> but he said it was sloppy. >> no. he did not. >> hillary clinton'san the top secret information was sloppy or represent sloppiness? >> yeah, that's not way to express the same concept. >> the biggest rigging of what has happened with the fbi and the justice department with respect to hillary clinton because she is so guilty. >> is there not a fair basis to say we did it in any way that was honest or independent. >> it was revealed by the finn director that thousands of more e-mails have been discovered on a laptop that was shared by her top aide huma abedin and her

i thought. >> voters deserve to get full and complete facts, and so we have called on director comey to explain everything right away, put it all out on the table. right? >> the fbi may have to check thousands of e-mails so the review is expected to run past election day. donald trump's campaign manager is just arriving here at the cbs broadcast center. we will talk to conway. she is outside getting out of the car. about the fbi e-mail probe and what else could happen.

kellyanne conway, donald trump's campaign manager is joining us at the table. welcome. >> thank you. >> donald trump said, yesterday, this is bigger than watergate. do you all know something we don't know and how could he know

don't know what is in the e-mails yet. >> he is saying this is explosive and i think it reminds people what their hess stations about hillary clinton are in the first place. even for undecided voters, they are quite decided and known her for decades. >> how can it be explosive when we don't know what is in it yet? >> even the democrats are calling explosive and unprecedented. >> saying the fact he made this announcement. >> but, look. sitting on information like that also could have affected the election so i think comey was an i'm reading the reports this morning and yesterday that suggest that others in the fbi knew about it for quite a while and just told jim comey so he was compelled to come forward and dsay -- >> the hillary clinton campaign is asking them to reveal everything. do you agree with that? >> i think the investigations take time. i don't think anybody should force their hand and i think the clinton campaign is asking the fbi to do something they know

rush through because there is an election next week is rush through the normal channels. there are 650,000 e-mails we keep reading in the published reports. >> on anthony weiner's laptop. >> that is a lot of e-mails to sift through. >> if the fbi says we did not go through this by election day that is okay with you? >> we hear hillary clinton having boos at one of her rallies yesterday. maybe asking the wrong candidate and violence at your rallies? are you qualified for president and fit for office? >> if they find out in fact, there is nothing there and go through it before the election day you want them to announce. we looked at all of these things and there is nothing there, we maintain our original judgment? >> if they want, they can say that, i guess. the damage is done. remember. let's go back to the beginning because hillary clinton set up a home private server that you're not allowed to do and her people

do. she put on national security risks and receiving e-mails from the president of the united states on a private server who then president obama apparently happened to notice and told someone is this a private e-mail? this woman has imperiled our national security and what good reason? for her petty personal political gain. she is just unqualified and unfit to be president. that simple. >> let me ask you about the democrat irsenator harry reid. he has written a letter highly critical as you know of what the fbi doctor has done. he explosive information about close ties and coordination between donald trump and his top advisers and the russian government. would you encourage the fbi to release information about that? >> if they want to. but we are listening to harry reid, put him under oath and see if he'll say the same thing. this is the same man who said mitt romney was hiding things in his tax returns. he gives all kinds of allegations about people and people repeat them without

dangerous. >> do you know what he is talking about? some former official in the campaign who may have had some contact with the russian government? >> charlie, i have zero knowledge except what i read in the press like we all do. >> so his claims make no sense to me. >>? >> they make no sense and i think a desperate attempt i saw by the democrats over the weekend. look. a woman who reported last week hillary clinton spent tens of thousands of dollars on polling and focus groups two years before the election to find out what she believes and who she is and how to convey that to the rest ofs a plan b in place. they were told last week the race is over and no path for trump and wait out the clock. look at last week her poll ratings evaporating before some of the swing states before fbi comey made his new revelation and i don't think they were ready for the race to take this turn again. >> let's talk about our battleground tracker poll says people have already voted and this new revelation will not change their minds. >> not 71% have voted.

minds. >> thank you, norah. will this change how y'all campaign, these remaining eight days? >> no. >> changing your strategy? >> no, it hasn't changed the strategy since it was announced. it was around 1:00 or 2:00 p.m. on friday. trump made other stops. he mentions it at the beginning and talks about obamacare and isis and patriotism. the reason he does that this has to go on independent of us and also obamacare is a hugeoi it's people are opening up their mailbox and clicking on their computers and noticing their premiums are exploding out of control. we don't want americans to go through another four, eight years where they are deciding between paying the rent, paying for food or paying for these explosive obamacare premiums. >> can you turn around pennsylvania? she has an eight-point -- >> we don't see it that way. >> you disagree with the polling numbers? >> yes. we see pennsylvania a tighter race. a state where donald trump's

deals and creating 25 million jobs over ten years unleashing energy investment, and also just repealing -- replacing obamacare, including getting rid of obamacare? >> obamacare is your issue? >> a huge issue. it's a signature issue that helped republicans win and 2013 we nominated romney care which was a political cover for obamacare. but people premium increases now. >> new york magazine said you are a mother of four children and he responded how you respond to donald trump the way you would with your children. what do you say to that? >> i love the picture, for once. so many bad ones out of there. that is not a fair relationship with mr. trump and our relationship. we have a great working

candidacy and has to be his choice an advice voice. i love the fact it took donald trump to elevate the first female in history to be a campaign manager. >> do your mothering skills come into play? >> 24/7 situation. not just donald trump. >> eight more days. former drug user is challenging his experience on the streets to help his juice business thrive. >> the addict in me is what i bring to this op greatness and pure authentic self-expression. >> ahead, how focusing on wellness for everybody transformed his life. you're watching "cbs this

>> also, you're recovering too. >> that is true. that's true. i got my abilities back now and have a wife still with me and didn't divorce me so it's been amazingly successful. >> we are big fans of lee's as well. >> thank you, norah! >> i think one of the things both of you have done is because you were cared for at walter reid and you were embedded with u.s. troops and decided to do this and give back to them. explain why you feel a debt of gratitude to the military? this country, we know how much we owe for those who have served in these wars and risked their lives to accomplish what they have in a world that the united states has remained vulnerable. we were invaded back in 2001. they have done so much for the people and also the most skilled military we ever had. probably any military in the entire world what they have been able to do and part of that there is no draft. our kids don't have to serve. that's their decision. and the ones that are doing it,

assumes that our service members are taken care of when they come home. and ten years ago that was not the case. >> what did you see, lee, in particular being that made you say unit? we got to do something about that? >> we saw empty rooms with young injured men and no family members able to be there because that's not something we pay for as a government. and you recover with loved ones around you. right? that is your motivation. >> you hope new things available to veterans including ivf. >> i've bee v about that. we stepped out of our lane. we are not an advocacy secret all. i feel so personally passionate. our twins are ivf babies so i know the heart ache of infertil infertility. we have saw the injured service members come home and not able to have families and the government does not pay for that. if you're active duty, the government pays for it that is just wrong. >> you focused on care for

usually the spouse which also bear a heavy burden. >> i think a couple of big things that don't get as much attention for what they have done, absolutely. medically, the doctors, the nurses, the medics, and the caregivers, the spouses at home, whether it's a wife or a husband. >> anybody that -- >> one of the things, you know, i know about the foundation is bring the caregivers in too. you treat them and give them a full spa day. l'oreal hair and outfits and dior makeup. >> you make them feel special. >> it's like a queen for a day moment. >> it is a queen for the day. >> anyone who knows bruce springsteen and jon stewart, not surprised they are involved. how did you get them involved? >> they moved to new jersey! >> that's right. not far away. early on the new york comic festival, the amazing people from there saw some of the stories we were reporting on

paid authors list. tomorrow the series 11ed book "diary of a wimpy kid double down" hits the book stories. i think we have the whole collection in our house. we are fans in our house. i didn't know you originally had wanted to write this for adults? >> yeah. when i was a kid, i read comic books and comic strips that my father put in front of me, so i always thought that i would be a cartoonist. when i kid." i thought i was writing for my father, somebody who wanted to work back on his childhood. my editor said we think you've written a children series. >> you went, really? >> are you greg? >> i think i'm greg but sort of a tortured twisted version. actually, he is a twisted, tortured version of me and exaggerated form of my worst part, i think. >> lisa who produces this

colton has never been to this program, by the way. you're in today and colton is here. you walk in the room and his mouth falls open. what were trutiying to connect h kids? greg is sarcastic but not a wise ass which i think is fun to read. >> greg has plenty of flaws. maybe he is less flawed than i was as a kid. i'm really trying to look at childhood from every possible angle and greg is the avatar. he is the ki gooi all kids in my mind. >> reporter: when you first started the hrp books were big and you thought i can't be like that or i need to do something else? >> when i was writing "diary of a wimpy kid" i was reading "harry potter" and "harry potter" is a underdog but not in some ways. he is brave, he is famous and magical. he is powerful. he's a good athlete. i was like i wasn't any of those things. i was just a normal kid. greg is the anti-"harry potter" in some ways. >> as you travel around the

this. >> yes. >> in latin. 82 languages. you say kids with autism -- the most? >> i have found that kids who have autism or dyslexia that they really take to my books. i think that what it is is that these pictures in the books, they give the kids little islands to swim to and the pictures provide context. even the pope, if he is learning latin, he can look at the picture and read the text and he gets some context from feedback. >> you're taking this worldwide, though. as charlie said, when you go on the on road, this is the first time you're doing a book tour globally? >> we started that book tour last year and continuing it this year. we went to brazil, china, romania and going to india and korea and all around the world this year. >> the message resonates even outside of america, a lot of wimpy people around the world is what you're finding?

it about this book that about really an american kid that resonates? i think is that childhood is a universal condition, really. is that kids have -- most kids have parents and siblings and pets and homework and teachers. this is the stories of childhood. >> why did you and your wife decide to open up a book store? >> because we wanted something nice in the middle of our com community and now in have nationally known authors visiting us and we are enriched and the greater community is already enriched. >> a book store can be a community gathering place? >> absolutely. book stores are so vital to a community. >> remember that cartoonist career you had wanted had ever worked out for you? are you frustrated it didn't go the way you wanted? clearly have you commercial success, he i get that. >> i was frustrated i didn't

cartoonist because i wanted to be but i think this is a better dream. the fact i'm here with you today is would not have happened if i was in newspaper comics. >> you'll be in movies as well and television? >> yeah, we are working on a fourth diary of "wimpy kid" right now and long haul and next work i'm starting on an animated television series. >> thanks. >> congratulation, jeff kinney. t >> "diary of a wimpy kid double down" goes on sale tomorrow. dogs deserve a treat on halloween!
