that goes on with muhammad, trying to make sure that not only is he well taken care of but that he has quality of life and he's enjoying life and that he's not bored. >> reporter: hours before his death, ali's daughter leila, who followed his footsteps in the ring, posted a picture of the champ holding her daughter, sydney, and thank you fans for their love and well wishes. now ali had lived here in the phoenix area for years, but his funeral will be held in his hometown of louisville, kentucky. anthony? >> carter evans in scottsdale, arizona. thanks. few humans in history have gained the level of fame that muhammad ali achieved by the time he was in his 30s. whether it was his ability to float like a butterfly around boxing opponents or sting his detractors with his lip, ali was a commanding figure inside the ring and out. scott pelley has a look back at ali's legendary life. i must be the greatest -- >> reporter: never

at madison square guaarden in 11 in what was billed as the fight of the century, ali's comeback was stopped by long-time nemesis joe frazier. it was ali's first professional defeat. it would take him three years and several more bruising fights to come back. >> here we go. ali quickly across the around. >> reporter: in 1974, ali regained his heavyweight title. his famous rope-a-dope strategy exhausted the hard-hitting george foreman, and ali gained a stunning eighth round knockout in zaire. then in 1978, he lost the title to leon spinks and won it back a few years later. >> you thought i was gone, but you still have me to reckon with -- >> reporter: ali was no longer invincible and took plenty of punishment before calling it quits in 1981.
8:09 am
>> this might be my last fight tonight. a great possibility you saw last of ali. >> reporter: he was 39 years old with a pro record of 56 wins and 5 defeats. just into his retirement at age 42, ali had to face perhaps the biggest fight of his life when he was diagnosed with parkinson's disease. the most graceful of boxers slowly lost control of his body. it became hard to walk and even harder to speak. >> maybe when we get up there we can sit you down in a chair, and you can talk. that be okay? >> probably. >> probably? >> reporter: during a "60 minutes" filming, ali tried to do an interview. >> you can't talk -- >> reporter: he walked away telling ed bradley later he did not want to be pitied. the fighter's instinct never left ali. he playfully jabbed at his fans from all walks of life, including fidel castro. and in 1991, he did the
8:10 am
impossible when he met saddam hussein and negotiated the release of people who were being used by iraq as human shields. he was later awarded the medal of freedom at a white house ceremony in 2005. the highest civilian award bestowed by the president. he couldn't resist one more playful jab. his unwavering courage in the face of his tough evidence enemy transformed ali into another kind of champion. >> the greatest. >> reporter: one who did not go down easily, who stands evermore as an icon of triumph. >> the tributes to muhammad ali are pouring in this morning. mike tyson, another former heavyweight title holder, tweeted, "god has come for his champion. so long, great one." soccer star alex morgan tweeted, "one was the first athlete i was truly inspired by. he was a true champion and another legend." >> another legend,

8:12 am
the loquacious ali known in louisville as the louisville lip quickly became a legacy. the home where he grew up a few miles from here was recently turned into a museum and just opened to the public. it was inside that home that his mother, a maid, and his father who painted billboards, raised ali and his younger brother. the place that probably captures the most about ali's life is right here behind me inside the muhammad ali center. the multimillion-dollar facility is not just a shrine to ali's boxing ability, but it's dedicated to his work as a political and social activist. visitors here friday were quick to point that out. one woman we spoke to says her uncle was an olympian with ali in 1960 and talked about ali's willingness to sacrifice his boxing career to protest the vietnam war. >> all of these fantastic
8:13 am
and came back and were still treated as second-class citizens. he said i'm not taking it anymore. >> reporter: details about ali's funeral will be announced later today. it's likely a memorial service would be held in the downtown arena. and that place seats more than 22,000 people. >> i'm sure every seat will be filled. thank you. for more, we're joined by longtime booking producer david dinkins jr. now senior vice president for show time sports and a man that spoke with ali. he had time with him before a fight. >> yes. my first experience with ali was before the rematch with spinks. i was a fledgling production assistant with abc sports and was going televise the mega event at the superdome, primetime boxing. huge card. but this was a special afternoon presentation of the weigh-in.
8:14 am
was to get ali in the seat ready for the interview with cosell. he was professional. got there on time. quiet, composed. as soon as the light went on, electric. he lit up the entire room. he was a showman. he was the greatest. >> yeah. a kinetic personality. and i mean, it's hard to explain to young people now because he's so beloved globally what a polarizing figure he was in the 1960s. >> that's an interesting point. when you look at some of the heroes that have come from sport and transcended sport, luke at jackie robinson, althea gibson, jesse owens, at the time that they were making these remarkable accomplishments, people understood what they were doing. >> yes. >> at the time that ali was making his stand, it was very polarizing, as you suggest. in retrospect, people realize
8:15 am
to do what he did. >> you talk about what he did -- refusal to be drafted in vietnam. rejection of racial integration at a time when everyone was saying this is the popular thing. how it was that he was able to be so different in that crowd? >> well, i think he stuck to his convictions. i think when he first converted to islam, people forget that that was a polarizing thing, too. especially in the black community. people weren't sure what tong. to people in the white community, it was scary. you look at what's going on now. back then, people knew even less about the religion. it was something that he felt strongly about. and that's what led him to his stand against the war. >> right. it cost him seriously because he ended up being stripped of his title. he lost the opportunity fight. he was attacked by both blacks and whites. and yet maintained this presence. and what do you think drove that? >> again, i think it's -- the belief, the belief in yourself, e
8:16 am
that you're doing the right thing. it doesn't matter what anybody else thinks because you know in your heart, in your soul that you're doing the right thing. and thankfully, as time went on, his belief was justified. and he got the recognition that he deserved. >> you know, "the new york times" had such a lovely sentence. they said he was more than the sum of his athletic gift. >> yeah. >> when you look at just these athletic gifts, what made him stan stand out so much in the ring? >> at the time he came along, he had a perfect blend of size, speed, talent, tenacity. people think about the float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, but he was a tough guy. the rope-a-dope, you have to be tough to do that. people think that toughness cost him eventually and led to him being afflicted with parkinson's. >> one of the most interesting things i thought he said -- i grew up when he was emerging. w
8:17 am
figure. you didn't know what to make of him, but you couldn't take your eyes off him. you know, after he won -- after he won the supertitle, he said, i don't have to be who you want me to be. and that to me was the thing that stuck out with him. >> yeah. >> he challenged everybody. >> well, but again, i think he stuck by his guns, stood by his convictions. he won us over. people that would have found his positio positions contrary to theirs, eventually they respected him for the courage of his convictions. >> right. amazing how far he came in the end. david dinkins jr., thank you. >> thank you for having me. coming up in our next hour, we'll show a portion of the last major television profile of muhammad ali done by the late "60 minutes" correspondent, ed bradley. and tonight, "48 hours" will present a special for the champ, "muhammad ali: remembering a legend." 9:00 eastern, 8:00 central on cbs. to politics now and donald trump who says if he is
8:18 am
president he will pursue an investigation of hillary clinton for her alleged mishandling of classified information when she was secretary of state. the fbi is already looking into clinton's use of an unsecured private computer for her state department emails compromised security. trump spoke with our john dickerson. >> reporter: what for you is she guilty? >> she is guilty of disservice. she is guilty of if you look at confidential information, all of the information that probably has gotten out all over the world. then you know what she's also guilty of -- stupidity and bad judgment. >> reporter: if that were criminal, we'd all be in jail. >> i'm not saying that's criminal, but she's guilty of that. in terms of this country shooerks guilty of -- country, she is guilty of having bad, bad, how could she do this? >> reporter: what gets to jail, though? what's the difference between rhetoric and law? >> what the lawyers are saying is what she did in terms of national security. there are strict rules and regulations. she's broken all of them. she's broken all
8:19 am
she's broken so much. if you look from the standpoint of why did she do it, judgment. the word judgment. this isn't criminal judgment. you make bad judgment -- although under those rules and regulations, judgment is even criminal. you're not supposed to do it. if you make a mistake, they don't take that into account. why and how can a person with this kind of judgment become the president of the united states? think of this. we're in a cyberworld, a cyberworld. there is a complex world like we've never been in before. if we're in a cyberworld and she can't handle her emails, how can she be president? >> after the interview, trump continued the theme on the campaign trail calling clinton weak, a liar, and a thief. lisa jiang has more on that from washington and clinton's attacks. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. donald trump and hillary clinton are criss-crossing california ahead of the state's primary on
8:20 am
of every stump speech is the same, each other. >> she doesn't have what it takes. >> donald trump is not qualified to be president and commander in chief. >> reporter: dramatically different candidates with nearly identical attacks. >> hillary clinton is a weak person. hillary clinton is totally scripted. hillary clinton is a thief. >> because if he gets anymore year the white house, you -- anywhere near the white house, you know what he's going to do -- he's going to trump you. >> reporter: likely nominee hillary clinton is capitalizing on donald trump's off-the-cuff comments, including those about the ethnicity of the federal judge in the class-action lawsuit against trump university. >> a man who was appointed on his merits, a man born in indiana -- which last time i checked was part of america -- >> reporter: one day after house speaker paul ryan tepidly endorsed his party's nominee, he echoed clinton's concerns about trump's tone. >> he clearly says and does things i don't agree with, a
8:21 am
i've had to speak up time to time when that has occurred. i'll continue to do that if it's necessary. i hope it's not. >> reporter: trump insists he can win over the minority groups he has alienated and those who typically fall to the left. >> look at my african-american over here. look at him. are you the greatest? >> reporter: campaigning in the blue state of california, trump can afford to focus on the general election, while clinton -- >> i want to finish really strong in california -- >> reporter: has yet to clinch the democratic nomination. >> she can't close the deal. she can't close. >> reporter: by clinton's side and often a boost of support among voters, her husband and former president bill. >> i had a front row seat to my husband's eight years which worked out pretty well for our country, i think. >> reporter: trump is using the couple's complicated past against them. >> she's always got problems. whitewater, impeachment, lies. he didn't have sex with
8:22 am
woman. two ii -- two months later he's going, well. >> reporter: president obama who has largely stayed away from commenting publicly on the 2016 race spoke at a fundraiser and called on anti-trump protesters who incited into violence earlier this week to not "slip into the bad habits of the other peter. ." >> thank you. tomorrow, you can see more of the interview with donald trump. coming up, more on the death of muhammad ali. plus, some of the worst floo i

time for "morning rounds" with chief medical correspondent dr. jon lapook and cbs news contributor, dr. holly phillips. first up, growing fears over zika in the u.s. this after the birth of a baby with zika might have related birth defects in new jersey. sounds like she contracted it in honduras. >> she did. it's heartbreaking. right now it seems that between one and 13% of babies born to mothers exposed to zika during pregnancy will develop microcephaly, an underdeveloped head and small brain. there can be problems with vision and hearing. one of the issue is that the complications have a broad range of severity. some babies are born so sick they can't survive more than a couple of days. others seem to have more mild symptoms. there's also one sort of outstanding question -- for the children who are born to mothers
8:38 am
who were infected with zika that seem normal at birth, might they develop clikzs or issues -- complications or issues later? that's something we don't have a definitive answer to. >> months or years. >> the cdc director said the bottom sideline to do everything to protect pregnant women. what does that entail? >> staying away if you're pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant, stay away from areas where zika is actively spreading. it can be a changing map. what i would suggest people do is go to the cdc website, and what they need to do is google zika space cdc. it will be the first thing up, click on it. there will be a whole thing about everything having to do with zika including where you should stay away from. >> are you saying that for just pregnant women? is it specific to this group, or should the rest of us be more aware? >> one of the things, zika can be transmitted sexually. there are considerations for both genders. for instance, if you're a man and have traveled to a place where zika is spreading and your partner is
8:39 am
recommends that you use condoms or abstain from sex for the pregnancy. if you are traveling to a place where zika is spreading and think you have been sick, wait six months before trying to become pregnant or eight weeks if you have traveled to a place with zika and you haven't become sick. so men have considerations, as well. but ultimately, this all comes down to protecting pregnant women. and that's something we also need funding to do. >> yeah. i mean, i think the bigger picture is everybody expects zika to eventually show up in a mosquito in the united states. right now all the people infected with zika brought it in by travel, some sexually transmitted. the question is what are we going do. and congress was asked by the white house at the request of the cdc and nih in february for funding to help combat this in a number of ways. a lot of people in the medical community are scratching their heads saying why hasn't that funding happened. and there's -- i have spoken to officials in houston, people of every level. they're saying where is the
8:40 am
>> we're talk about it -- >> we're well into june, the time is now. >> next, the fda is launching an assault on sodium. it put out new voluntary guidelines aimed at cutting salt in food a third over the next decade. what's behind the recommendation? >> eating too much salt is a high contributor to high blood pressure. and high blood pressure is the main risk factor, the main factor in causing deaths from heart attack and strike. we all eat too much salt in america, 90% of us eat too much salt. the fda is recommending no more than 2,300 milligrams a district attorney, a teaspoon. we each -- a day, a teaspoon. and we eat about 3,400. three quarters of the salt we eat is not from the salt shaker, it's from processed foods and restaurants. we don't know what we're eating. >> right. at the end of the day if these are voluntary, how do you make companies comply and change the way we're eating?
8:41 am
>> there is precedence for that. 36 other countries have done voluntary measures to lower salt. there's evidence that it works. in england over a ten-year period, they dropped their salt intake by 15%. blood pressure went down at this time. this was associated with a drop in deaths from heart disease and stroke by 40%. maybe that wasn't all from lowering salt, but it certainly helped. >> also when you think about the prevalence of high blood pressure in our country, one in three americans has high blood pressure. one in ten children. you can make a huge difference by cutting one of the risk factors for high blood pressure which is too much salt. finally, many new mothers say they can't concentrate or focus like they did before giving birth s. there some truth to the so-called mommy brain? the "wall street journal" spoke with an expert, and the answer appears to be yes. according to the article, changes occur in the mother's brain before and after a baby is
8:42 am
responsible for executive functions like decision making, learning, and emotional regulation. since most of this is positive growth, experts say mommy brain is ultimately a good thing. something else to argue about now. >> even though it might not feel like it at the time, the idea is that the brain adapts to remembering more important things. becomes more efficient, more productive. so as a mommy, you might not remember where your keys are, but you know where the pampers are, you know where the pacifier, is you know everything you need to know for the baby. you forget things about yourself. >> right after birth, of course, you're sleep deprived. memory is a problem. one of my patients said, my memory went out with the placenta. >> graphic -- >> her words. >> became a zombie. dr. jon lapook and holly phillips, thank you very much. coming up, before the caps and tassels are tossed, college grads give a commencement sendoff speech. get a taste of this of the best. you'rech

9:01 am
carter? >> reporter: good morning. we're told ali was surrounded by family at the time of his death. he was rushed here to the hospital a couple of days ago for a respiratory condition. in recent days, we learned that condition was much more serious than first thought. ali was the firefighter win the heavyweight championship three times. he famously described his ability to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. in later years, he battled with parkinson's disease. doctors attributed the illness to the repeated beatings ali took in the ring. his influence transcends sports. he donated millions to charity and became goodwill ambassador for islam and the united states. in 1996, he was chosen to light the flame at the atlanta olympics. nine years later, president george w. bush awarded ali the medal of freedom for his lifetime achievements. it was parkinson's disease that slowed the champ's speech and limited his public appearances
