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! >> 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 injureded 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 gone. >> nancy, are you okay?

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 john schaefer stepped down and was replaced. dickerson and colbert 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

proposals ss 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 itdoesn'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 for trump for knowing who the real audience is. that if you really want to win, you've got to get the people. the people get to make the call.

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 appeal to the voter. and that's why i may be wrong. i made a big deal about, there's no way he's going to win. >> you weren't the only one. >> yeah.

about politics.

phil! oh no... (under his breath) hey man! hey peter. (unenthusiastic) oh... ha ha ha! joanne? is that you? it's me... you don't look a day over 70. am i right? jingle jingle. if you're peter pan, you stay young forever. it's what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. you make me feel so young... it's what you do. you make me feel

great mountain. and then somebody flying 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 i i 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. >> where only legends have been 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 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 songs to the world, recorded right here. and if a band is only as good as its songs, then theband's records are only as good as the

>> 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 stein way piano that's been in use for more than 60 years. maybe one little tinkle couldn't hurt. >> this features quite heavily on --

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 -- p>> 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 pixar's campus to meet the people who make the movie magic. >> i am buzz lightyear. i come in peace.

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 s the result of more than four years of work at pixar animation studios. >> we were still kind of doing the same thing -- >> reporter: peatte docter was one of the an naters. >> 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. i was a kid who enjoyed figuring 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 momoemaker. >> 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 12 academy awards. but when pixar had no movie ready for release in 2014, some in the industry wondered whether

moved cautiously, tearing out buildings once controlled by isis fighters, fearing that some of the structures had been rigged with explosives. the offensive, which began five days ago, has been slow and tough going. iraqi forces were hampered by sniper fire and were forced to navigate roads littered with ieds. recapturing ramadi will not only be a psychological leap for the iraqi military, which suffered a humiliating defeat and were seen fleeing the city when isis took control of it in may this year. but it will also serve as a stepping stone for the iraqi military's plan to take back mosul, the largest city in iraq controlled by isis. tonight a major wildfire in southern california is 70% contained. it destroyed more than 1,200 acres this weekend in ventura county north of los angeles. here's maria villarreal. >> reporter: this is the nightmare southern california

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 r ves 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 gone. >> nancy, are you okay? >> 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

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 --

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 for trump for knowing who the real audience is. that if you really want to win,

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 appeal to the voter. and that's why i may be wrong. i made a big deal about, there's no way he's going to win. >> you weren't the only one. >> yeah.

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 not been nearing the end of 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. >> where only legends have been able to step inside -- >> reporter: a virtual mystery

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 songs to the world, recorded 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.
