nancy cordes is on capitol hill where lawmakers want answers. good morning. >> good morning. even some of her allies on capitol hill are starting to say her silence could hurt more than the initial revelations and it's putting white house, the state department,'ve the president as you just heard in a situation where they're trying to defend her when she won't defend herself. in miami this weekend chelsea clinton was asked about her mother's private e-mails. >> as her daughter we e-mails about thanksgiving dinner and plans for friday night. in terms of her official e-mail, you'll have to ask her. >> so far no one has been able to ask her. >> the silence is going to hurt her. >> reporter: senator dianne feinstein is a friend of hers and a fellow democrat. >> i think she needs to step up come out, and state exactly what the situation is. >> reporter: 300 of clinton's e-mails have already been turned over to the republican-led house

7:12 am
follows. so there needs to be something to replace all the bad news. >> so who's giving her advice to stay silent and why is she staying sigh legislate? >> well t reason you stay silent in this case is that -- the thinking is the story -- once you get into a transparency fight, you can never be transparent enough. so the story perhaps goes away and the press moves on because it has a white-hot interest in stories and then gets a new fascination. also, by the way, there's not a campaign -- even though they're prepared for one, there's not a campaign structure. unless she did a sit-down interview or until she did, there would be stories that would grow out of that. >> senator schumer said over the weekend this is going to be a hiccup that goes on as time goes on. do you think that's true? >> if a campaign is launched and the campaign begins perhaps that's true. i think the fact that there's
7:13 am
investigators out there and you have democrats saying there are legitimate questions being raised, it does give a chance to live on. then we never know what's in the actual e-mails. once those get out, everybody will be reacting. >> john, you were in iowa. jeb bush was as well. how was he to you? >> it was his first there. he was well received. he's got some. that's interesting. we'll see him go back to the state a lot more. >> thank you, john dickerson. the chairman of the joint chiefs will visit iraq this morning. general martin dempsey wu was aboard a french aircraft carrier wednesday in t holly williams is in baghdad and highlights some of the problems iraq faces as it tries to fight isis. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. as the battle for the city of

8:13 am
>> thank you, gayle. >> you say there's still a stigma with mental illness and that's something we need to change and rethink. >> absolutely. even though weefrp main tremendous progress in the last 50 years the old adage continues. that was thewhat made me write the book. the fact of the matter is after 30 years of writing the book, treating patients became so upset that millions of people continue to suffer from the symptoms of mental illness either because they're ashamed and embarrassed to reach out for treatment or they don't know how to find it. it's like they have a population of people who are suffering from infectious diseases tuberculosis pneumonia, strep, aids, and we're not using antibiotics, vaccines or protee ace inhibitors and it's due to basically a lack of awareness and prenl dis. >> but it can be treated and
8:14 am
treated effectively. >> it absolutely can. in all candor, though it's a recent development. up until the 1950s if you had a mental disorder there was little any doctor could do to alleviate the symptoms. but that has all changed. be we have treatments whether it's medication or psycho therapy. >> over 248 million prescriptions a year for anti-depress anltss. >> no question about it. anti-depressants, psycho stimulants, adhd but do we overprescribe antibiotics? probably. this isn't a problem with the science. it's a problem with the clinical practices which we have to contain. better diagnosis. more rigorous application of therapies. >> so there can be more diagnosis but less prescription. >> or less diagnosis.
8:15 am
i mean the population frequency of a given disoert is something which can be determined very precisely. and so people who have the disorder, who have symptoms that are distressing and disabling and want treatment should be treated. those that don't or don't have the disorder shouldn't be. >> how do you make that determination? >> yeah. >> it's made the same way your doctor determine wls you need a cardiac stint. >> and how is that? >> it's made by a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation a discussion of patients what the diagnosis is, and what the treatment options are and then selecting a treatment. the difference which i think you're getting at charlie, is psychiatry is a little different. when you get a stint, you get an arteriogram and blood checked. in psychiatry we don't have that yet. it's all clinical. and that's going to change but it hasn't changed yet. >> but how are you going to get people to talk about it freely? i ca a bronchial
8:16 am
talk be but who's going to say i'm having trouble coping and panic attacks and i'm just freaking out. how are people going to get to a point where they can say it and not be judged? >> that's the dilemma. people say it to their family and friends all the time. how do they get to that person. but if i could say one more thing related to it. >> quickly. >> the aversion that our society has had toward mental illness and the stigma that's perpetuated is symbolized in the military's attitude in what's happening with ptsd and suicide and the psychological wounds of war. these have been historically denied. they're now hugely prevalent. we should be all over this just like we should be all over the treatment of mental illness. >> dr. jeffrey lieberman, thank you very much. the book goes on sale tomorrow. some people are worried about robots. nicholas thompson is in our

8:22 am
we saw a robot who can master video games. they can beat any human in chess but they can't pick up a chess piece. >> they're packing improvements. >> they are. >> what about people who say we'd better watch out. people like elon musk and bill gates. >> they're saying this is one of the largest ex-ten chal threats. >> what are they worried about? >> they're worried that they'll have more intelligence than huma on one level we can see this coming. there will be big job problems people who lose their jobs and be dis placed. that's serious. it will create jobs but there's going to be changes coming. the larger concern is humanity will be shunted aside.
8:23 am
that's where the angst comes from. >> something stanley curve rick and many others were worried about 50 years ago. >> right. >> is it a valid concern? >> job concern, absolutely. existential? yes, of course, but it's so far down the line i don't think we can think logically about it right now. what we should think about it is how to integrate them in our society in a way that makes them adjust helps people in hospital and to the extent it displaces people we figure out a way to help them find new jobs. 's what i want us working on. >> what's the most tantalizing thing you've heard. >> most tantalizing thing from robots. >> or artificial intelligence. >> the symmetrical ability, the ability for a robot to take care of a person at end of life. that's a real issue. how are you going to have enough health care workers to make the last years of life. robots could do great work
8:24 am
there. >> the google dog there is not just and moral and help you age though, right, as fascinates as it is? >> it's more like something that can be used in the military. you can see them doing something like that. >> do you see robots replacing ussome. >> you particularly? no. i think you're fantastic. >> i was worried about charlie. thank you. thank you, nicholas thompson. >> easily replaceable. >> i don't think so. when caroline kennedy visited us she wrote something have interesting. she said come to toke yeo. norah o'donnell said okay caroline i'm coming. hey, norah o'donnell in tokyo, good morning. >> ahead, norah is talking with the u.s.
