7:34 am
you facing reports of pointed attacks against any of the people, especially the pope? >> well, the good news is that as we're speaking this morning, charlie, that there are no threats that we are aware of directed against this event or for that matter the events in walk or philadelphia. >> commissioner, how do you protect someone who believes he has the ultimate guardian an gem and in addition he likes to get out and shake hands with people spontaneously? >> here he will have 6,000 additional guardian angels we will have on duty. i'm assuming he will bring a few of his own. we will take all the help we can get. >> one of the magazines that features isis propaganda put pope frances in there. does that raise concerns about an attack on him? >> that's a concern going in, norah. yesterday, we published a joint intelligence product with philadelphia police and washington metro police with
7:35 am
chuck ramsey in washington and in walk. >> that went over the threat picture here with isis, al qaeda, the terrorism overlay. but it also went back through every attempt on every pope's life, going back to the late '70s not because we have specific information on the threat, but because we wanted to remind everybody on these details in all three cities about the way these things have happened in the past the different ways they have been put together and when you look at -- and these are contained in the threat assessment. the threats from groups like isis and al qaeda, where he's been mentioned in those publications. you have to know in the back of your mind, there's people on the other end of that message who are probably thinking about it. >> john, what worries you the most? what is the imponderable fact that you can't necessarily handle? >> so, i think if you get down to what worries us the most in this six, in any of these situations, it's, it is in a lot of this now is internet driven.
7:36 am
in terms of the threat picture, and that means, you know, if the conspiracy is just between a growing laptop screen and somebody's bedroom in their mind, it's very hard to penetrate from an intelligence standpoint. so the flipside is, this layered approach, which is, we've got layers and layers and layers of different kind of security on the idea that you have to be not just on the intelligence side ready to know, if you can, but ready to react, if you don't. >> i assume it goes without saying, you back up everything the federal government knows and the coordination with the fbi? >> fbi, secret service. secret service is actually the lead agency for providing security for the pope. we're in support with them. and we are pretty tightly coordinated on this, charlie, as you might expect, that it's a celebratory event for everybody else, for us. this is a security event. one of the highest levels. >> have you all been advising security teams in d.c. and
7:37 am
philadelphia? >> that's correct. we have people down there. we have been working with them. we met with chief chuck ramsey in philadelphia up in my office about a week and a half ago. we had a conference call with kathy down in d.c.. the three cities are closely coordinating with each other t. report that john miller talked about was specially prepared so we, in fact, have a seamless operation between the three cities. >> john, can i ask you about the specific report from the police sending out a memo they're concerned that terrorists could pose as first responders. how concerned are you about that? >> so we're always concerned about that. that is based on a joint intelligence bulletin from the fbi that came out several days ago. what that report did is it looked at around the world the number of cases where terrorists have either used ambulances or police equipment. we saw that in "charlie hebdo" in paris. we saw that in the belgium plot,
7:38 am
where they have gotten police emergency lighting and used them on their vehicles or some semblance of police uniforms and what that says to our people, which is, you know, when you look at these 1173 police cars laid out here or the 6,000 police officers, everybody is going to be challenged. you can have a uniform. you can be in a marked auto. if you come up to a checkpoint, you got to identify yourself with the right credentials around largely because of what you are talking about. >> commissioner, before you go, i want to ask you about your one-on-one meeting yesterday, in the paper he is calling it productive. how do you describe it? >> i think that was clearly the case, he talked about some of his thoughts about what was needed going forward and i explained that literally everything he discussed already is in place or will be put in place. we have quite a lot that we have been working on over this past 20 months and fortunately, there was a very good discussion yesterday and i think he left
7:39 am
satisfied that many of the issues that he had identified were being addressed and about to be implemented. >> he wants a police officer fired. have you made a decision on that? >> that decision is much farther down the line. we have a process in the department and that process right now is in the hands of the civilian complaint review board, which will conduct their investigation. so that investigation is one that we will follow closely. i will ultimately make final decisions as to discipline, if discipline is necessary in this case. >> thank you both so much. new backlash over alleged price gougeing of prescription drugs. ahead how the maker of a life saving tab is the defending a 5,000% price hike for a single tablet. if you are headed out the door, set your dvr to watch us any time. we'll be right back. ♪ i don't want to live with

8:03 am
say pope frances is sewing seeds of confusion, especially on moral issues. >> they worry that perhaps he is devaluing marriage, perhaps he doesn't recognize that homosexuality is a sin. . frances hasn't changed anything doctrinally, just the shift in tone gives conservative calls for alarm. >> reporter: his turn is understanding. a priest could forgive the sin for women that say they're sorry. on divorce, a projected priest could allow remarried couples to take communityion, homosexually, he said in italian to supporters. if a person is gay and seeks god and has good will, who am i to judge him? for conservative catholics like cardinal raymond burke, frances is taking his message of mercy too far. >> all day long we make judgments with regard to certain acts. this is what the natural law is to avoid evil.
8:04 am
>> reporter: this fall, more than a dozen cardinals and bishops from around the world will publish books defending church doctrine, nearly 500 priests are urging church leaders to issue a clear and firm progress la makes against communion for divorced couples. but the pope has yet to change church policy. he called abortions an abominable crime and marriage he emphasizes is a bond between a man and a woman. frances roon years a former ambassador says the pope is calling for a less judgmental attitude. >> i think the pope is looking at realities of life saying, whoa, you can't ban these people to the basement. you got to embrace the differences without changing your theology. >> now, rooney says the pope's focus is on the disadvantaged and the vulnerable. that's why he's also sounding the alarm on issues like immigration, climate change, income and equality. other areas where he may part ways with conservatives.

8:06 am
the moral life and some of those implications are the economic and political realm. so even though he doesn't come as a politician or an economist, obviously, in the articulation of basic biblical principles, he is a pro at that, there is going to be implications for the economy, for the environment. for morality. for politics. it's a little bit of both. >> you will address congress in washington and those who have seen his remarks say he will talk about climate change, the need for climate change the need to address immigration reform. >> good go these are issues that are more aligned with democrats than republicans. how political will it be? >> well, i would, i think we'll see a different reaction on both sides of the aisle. you can bet the republicans will be vigorously applauding on some of the things he said, while democrats might be a little somber. in the other, you will see democrats that will be enthusiastic on some of the things he said, while the republicans are sitting on their
8:07 am
hands. he isn't there to please anybody. his job is to please god. >> are you concerned he may alienate some because of his progressiv views? >> he will alienate some on the other side, gayle. there is a beautiful phrase back in the 1930s, t.k. chester said the role of the leader is to comfort the aflicked and afflict the comfortable. he will do a little of both. those who are kind of secure around comfortable, who might be very even tempted to be self-righteous in their beliefs, they will be afflicted. those looking for some consolation in the touch of mercy and grace, they will be comforted. >> it's huge, so much so people are scalping free tickets to go and see him. you've spoken out about that. >> that's not good. everything by pope frances is free. everything about pope frances is gracious and inviting. he would cringe if he thought somebody had to pay to see him.
8:08 am
>> this is an aggressive travel schedule. he is going from cuba, to walk to philadelphia. he is 78-years-old. he has one lung. are you worried about him? >> i am a little. thanks for bringing it up. you are gracious to do so. an exhaustive schedule in cuba. hardly less hectic in washington and in philadelphia, which is the main evented for him. we're sandwiched between all of that. i am a bit worried he will be exhausted. >> let me ask you about his safety. there is a report this morning in the main isis magazine there is a picture of pope frances in there. are you worried about his safety? >> i have say i'm concerned. there is a difference between concerned around worried. i have been talking with the new york police department and the service. he's not. i should take my queues from him. he has a good stern guardian angel. i guess i should relax. >> what does he say is miss main, what does he hope to accomplish beyond the pastor am, beyond the message, what is he hope will result from this
8:09 am
visit? >> he wants to reawaken spiritual sentiments and remind us of god and remind us we are destined to spend all eternity with good. that's a basic rau meat and potato message that very often we forget. >> how is he handling the fact he is the most famous, the most style us, he is the main man? >> i will say, this has got to be a great paradox for him. have you noticed, the more he tries to de-emphasize the prestige and the power of the papacy, the more he trials to pull away the trappings, the more people pay attention. he doesn't want to be the center of attention, gentleman vous is to be the center of attention. >> that has to make him nervous. even though he rises to the occasion. he loves to be with people. if he senses adulation, he gets a little nervous. >> everyone says there hasn't been anyone like him. that's what's fascinating. people of all faiths want to
8:10 am
touch him. >> yeah, that's an appeal, too. we calm him the holy father. he's not just our holy father as catholics, my jewish rabbi said, hey, wait a minute, he's our pope, too. >> thank you for bringing him here to new york. >> my honor. i look forward to next week. okay. >> thank you so much. >> and when the pope lands in walk, "cbs news" will bring it to you in a special report. it begins at 4:00 p.m. eastern time, 3:00 central right here on cbs. >> here's a question, can the new york giants pull out of a fast start this season?

8:17 am
sir? >> could i fix them? >> there is not much wrong. i think of it this way. thursday night we had two games leading with the last drive of the game coming up. with the opponent having the football. i think of it this way. if jpp could not have been in there with the fireworks and that, they'd probably win both games. they have all those chances and all they need is one pla i to make them have a penalty, to throw an incompletion. anything probably wins the game. >> that guy, jpp not being there calls for the new york giants. >> he is as good as he ever was? >> absolutely t. mistake he made there, that will happen once in your career. >> did you ever have a coach call you stupid? >> yes, i did. >> how would you do it? >> well, he wouldn't say stupid. he would say. >> there is when you were with the joints? >> and bill parcels was my co. he'd always get, i couldn't keep

8:33 am
women of color in hollywood. >> do you think we're at some sort of tipping point? is there some sort of break-through happening? >> yes, absolutely. ba us the world is changing. we have a different perception of what love and life looks like. women of color actresses, we sit around and talk about it all the time. we want to get past that line. we want people to know we are not monolithic. we are multi-facetted. that we're talented. it's not like there has been a plethora of leading actress roles and you didn't recognized our talent. there's been nothing. >> meanwhile, another tv actress is apologizing this morning for her tweets criticizing davis' speech. "general hospital" star nancy lee grahn wrote davis has never been discrim nailt nated against and emmys are not the venue 4 racial opportunity. she later said it was badly

8:35 am
inheritance, i want to open up the conversation to encouraging people. >> is there a way you can make it happen? >> what you have to do is follow your curiosity. your curiosity is through which the bred crumbs of inspiration come. i think everyone is looking for the tower of flame. it's a smaller hunt than that. that's one of the things i explore in the book. >> you say curiosity is the secret and the truth to creative living. most people are afraid of creativity. because all daunting ideas you say are scary at first. >> if you engage in creative living of any kind, you have to learn to deal with your fear. creativity asks you to enter into realms of uncertain outcome. what i see happening is people want to create a safe life, a life with no fear. they end up killing their creativity in the process. >> it can happen anywhere, anyplace by anyone. i did an interview with the
8:36 am
president of russia vladimir putin. i said what do you had mire about americans? he said their creativity and innovation. >> it is a country that gives per mission to explore and advantage things. i feel there is something that happens in the schools very early on where a couple kids are singled out as being the creative ones and everyone else is shuntd away to sort of live lives where they're nothing but consumers, producing, pay bills and di. i feel like that's not what we're here for. unused creativity is not benign. >> how do you nurture your creativity every day? you talk art your friend susan. >> i had a friend hit her 40s was feeling drab, plain, bored. she asked herself, when was the last time she felt free in her body, it turned out when she was a teenager quitting figure skating. she quit because she wasn't good enough to be a champion. we live in a culture that says if you can't be the best, do
8:37 am
endoit. she didn't skate, decided to pick it up. didn't hire an olympic coach or win medals, but gave back permission to herself to live in a way that made her feel unfolded and more than an accumulation of her daily things. >> if you want to do a movie, do it. true peniss on the wall. eit makes me wonder, what is going on in your life? >> that's my next. >> why are you saying that? >> it did make me wonder that, sorry. >> when you were first starting out the professor said to you, you will never be a great writer, you haven't suffered a lot. you talked about a writer in the book that went through one of those same things. >> i'm trying to dismantle the stereotype. we're really addicted to this idea. it makes for good biopicks. i believe it is possible, in fact, better to live a life where you are constantly exploring your curiosity, you are not married to this idea that you have to be a martyr
8:38 am
about it. >> you talk about moving beyond fear. >> not fearless inside, i have actually met a few people in my life i would genuinely describe as being fearless, they were psychopaths. you look in their eyes, there is something dead, right? or taurd letoddlers. >> there is a difference between bravery and fearlessness. >> moving beyond you must know it. >> bravery is saying this is really scary, i want to do it anyway the alternative is a smaller, less interesting lie. i want to have the most interesting life i can have. >> it was a really good read. >> thank you. >> as always, thank you. it's called "big magic." it goes on sale today. can a man taking a pill fight crime better than the fbi? jake mcdorman and jennifer carpenter star in the new -- i don't know about you, jake, they're in studio 57 with

8:44 am
can see you, i think you can get pretty close 90% sure. maybe 80%. >> oh, no. you and your co-star. welcome to the cbs family. i have to say, i've never seen a pilot like this. i thought it was just me. then forbes said this, as far as broadcast, "limitless" is a perfect example of how to do it right. it has narrative ability this year. that's a great start. >> a great what i to start. even your parents must be excited by this. >> you know what, i have done tv show, 13 years, all my mom wanted to see me on the side of a bus. that's like her -- winning an academy award doesn't matter, as long as i'm on the side of a bus. so i sent her a few pictures of that. >> they seen the premier?
8:45 am
>> i saw a pilot earlier. i sent them a dvd. the pilot starts, it's put together in a clever way. it throws you in the action in the middle of the episode. it starts in the middle and explains how you got there and finishes at the end. they put it in a dvd player. why is it in the middle? >> trying to go back. great, guys. i play a genius on tv. >> is that when you said all, an acting role? >> he's reprising his movie. he is back four years later. running for senator, now he's a presidential hope. . you find out he has been very much involved. which is great, to have bradley involved in front of the camera. >> in a tv show. isn't that nice? he walked in, i went, whoa. so is he going to be on, on a regular basis? >> i mean as much as we can
8:46 am
wrangle bradley cooper. but, yeah, no, he has every intention of returning. he's kind of in the pilot. it sets him up as odds, like the man behind the curtain. you don't quit know what his intentions are and what he wants to do with this kid. >> jennifer describe your reaction when you first tried out for this role and what happened. >> well, i read the pilot. it was sort of hard to get ahead of. which is what i admired about it. i was living in north carolina at my kitchen table, encore. >> shoutout. >> plus eight-and-a-half months pregnant. i thought i'll make a tape and send it in. throw my hat in the ring. of course, there are plenty of actresses in hollywood that aren't pregnant. they wouldn't have to hide their stomach. i don't know how it happened. but i got a call that they wanted to see what my stomach really looked leak. so i took a few picture. then all of a sudden we were
8:47 am
moving to new york. >> so you shot a part of this in the late stages of your pregnancy? >> i was eight-and-a-half months pregnant in the pilot. great picture. >> it's for people saying i remember her from dexter. i remember her. >> much happier character. >> and sensor. >> for those that i haven't seen the movie, explain sort of the whole pill in knowing everything. >> okay. it's a pim. it's completely fictional. it's loosely based. ndt is a drug that allows you to have 100% recall all the way to basically your first memories ever. >> at first glance sounds like a good. . maybe you don't want to remember everything. >> yeah, no kidding. you have cognitive skills, too. and it's all pretty much at your
8:48 am
