U. S. Attorney general eric holder cited the cruel and cut a trip short after nearly 700 true and passengers got sick once again. Hard to keep all of them straight. President obama speaking to jake tapper in his first interview since the stun address. The commander in chief promises twout will be a year of action. And hes moving forward with or without congress chl the president revealing his plan right here on cnn. Talking about it, the anchor of the lead, jake tapper. Your last name should be french. Its not. Its not. I have to say ive been covering president obama since he was senator obama. And youve had several interviews with him. I was covering him on the campaign trail. There was a time after he clempled enough delegates. June 2008. He clenched enough delegates. And he talked about his election in terms of this would be the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and the world began to heal. Now hes talking about using his pen and phone to take executive orders, executive actions. That was one of the things i wanted to ask him about. Has he scaled back his ambitions and expectations for what he wants to do with the country. Thaks for doing this mr. President. Great to be with you. Here is whatever you cannot accomplish with congress you will take executive action or issue executive orders. How much can you really accomplish doing that . My big push is making sure were focused on opportunity. Making sure every single day all of us in washington are thinking about ways we can help all of us get good jobs, make sure the jobs pay, make sure the kids are getting a good education. Those are the issues the American People still are very much concerned about. Obviously, theres going to be more that we can do if congress is able to breakthrough some of the gridlock. If were able to pass Immigration Reform, that is going to add growth to the economy. You dont seem confident that thats going to happen. I think we have a good chance. I mean the jobs issue. I think there are going to be some issues where it is going to be tough. Im going to continue to reach out to them and say, here are my best ideas. I want to hear yours. But as i said, i cant wait and the American People, more importantly cannot wait. We know that one of the biggest problems right now is the jobs market. People wont hire them because theyve been unemployed so long. Folks are looking at that gap in the resume and theyre weeding them out before these chance get a chance for a interview. We gathered together 300 Companies Just to start with, including some of the Top Companies in the country, to say lets establish best practices. Do not screen people out out of the hiring process just because theyve been out of work for a long time. We just went through the worst recession since the great depression. Ill be convening a meeting where a number of these Top Companies will be coming in, agreeing to these best practices and have the opportunity to encourage more people to come in. All of these things are going to have an impact. Will we have more of an impact if we can get congress, for example to mass a minimum wage law that applies to everybody as opposed to me just through an executive order, absolutely. And thats why im going to keep on reaching out for them. But im not going to wait for them. Ive been covering you for a long, long time. I remember during the campaign when you talked about your presidency being a moment when the rise of the oceans would slow and the nation and the world would heel. Now youre talking about pen and phone and executive orders. Do you think you were naive back then or have you recalibrated your expectations and ambitions . Part of it is we got a lot of that stuff done. We got in this country a Health Care Reform that already signed up millions of people. And make sure that anybodys whos watching, anybody who has insurance will not be developed. They can et git on healthcare dove. We have made e more mouse strides on the education front. Millions of more young people get student loans. So part of whats happened is, that checklist, we have passed a lot of that. And so in no way are my expectations diminished, but what is obviously true is weve got divided government right now. The House Republicans in particular have had difficulty rallying around any agenda, much less mine. And in that kind of environment, what i dont want is the American People to think that the only way for us to make big change is through legislation. Weve all got to Work Together to continue to provide opportunity for the next generation. Lets talk about House Republicans and Senate Republicans because there has been a large contingency of republicans critical of your new approach. Senator ted cruz of texas who might run for president calls this the imperial presidency. They want to reign in what youre trying to do. I dont think thats very serious. The truth of the matter is every president engages in executive actions. Weve been very disciplined and sparing in terms of the executive actions that weve taken. We make sure that were doing it within the authority that we have under statute, but i am not going to make an apology for saying that if i can help middle class families and folks who are working hard to try to get into the middle class do a little bit better, then im going to do it. I think its a tough argument for the other side to make that not only are they willing to not do anything, but they also want me not to do anything. In which case, i think the American People, whose right now estimation of congress is already pretty low, might have an even lower opinion. The stop act is not something you take seriously . Im not particularly worried about it. Lets talk about areas you might be able to make progress. I know a path way to citizenship through imfwrags reform is very important to you. Its possible you might be able to get an Immigration Reform bill on your desk for legal status but not citizenship. Im not going to repruj what gets to my desk. I think the principle that we dont want two classes of people in america is a principle that a lot of people agree with, not just me and not just democrats. But i am encouraged by what Speaker Boehner has said. Obviously i was encouraged by the bipartisan bill that passed out of the senate. I genuinely believe that Speaker Boehner really do want to get a serious Immigration Reform bill done. If the speaker proposes something that says right away folks arent being deported, families arent being separated, were able to attract stop Young Students to provide the skills or start businesses here, then theres a regular process of citizenship im not sure how wide the divide ends up being. I just wonder if you see this at all in terms of especially the path way to citizenship in the way that you seemed to when you were passing Health Care Reform and i was covering it, the public option. In other words, it would be great if you could do it, its not going to happen and there might be expectations that you have to do. I dont think House Republicans can pass anything that has a path way to citizenship. There is a desire to get it done. And that particularly in this congress is a huge piece of business. Because they havent got an lot done over the last couple years out of the House Republican cauc caucus. The fact that theyre for something i think is progress. I do know that for a lot of families, the fear of deportation is one of the biggest concerns that theyve got. And thats why we took executive actions given by discretion to make sure were not deporting kids who dpru up here and are americans for all practical purposes. But we need to get that codified. Is there more we can do in this legislation that gets more support but solves these broader problems including strengthening borders. And of course, more of the interview will air in a little bit. Kate, you know one of the things i thought was so important and interesting was i asked him pointblank, if Immigration Reform doesnt have a path to citizenship for the millions of undocumented workers will you veto it. He wouldnt play. And it shows the struggle. Its a difficult answer because it could box him in. If he gives you a firm answer stsh. I agree with you, but i do think there are going to be voe indicates for Immigration Reform that are going to be disappointed with that answer. The president is basically saying its acceptable. And as i said in the question to him, there was a time during health care when he made it very clear that he would like a public option government run health care, but he understood it couldnt get through congress, so he threw it under the bus. He he seems to be signaling something similar here. Hes not standing up for it. Thats smart politics though. Is the president entering a second term. On the politics i agree. On the principle, i think there will be people on the left disappointed. Thats the trick in general. You have such convergent ideologies there. Jakes making a strong point. His base is not going to like the answer. Its also good insight into why the interview is so valuable. Usually hes on message. That was very good for you to get him into a dialogue here, jake, where youre unpacking why he thinks what he thinks about things. Its important. Its interesting also because right now the House Republicans are in a retreat and they are discussing this. Just based on reportering, i know, i dont think theres any way House Republicans will be able to pass Immigration Reform with a clear, special, distinct path way to citizenship. I know Speaker Boehner has said he will not bring up a bill unless it will get a majority of republicans. You know na. Yeah. Lots of year of action. Hes going to have to get things done. Hes going to have to take what he gets to some extent. More of jakes interview with the president just ahead. A lot of other topics that jake hits on. The president s thoughts on another global person and also they talk about marijuana. And you can watch the full interview today on the lead with jake tapper at 4 00 eastern. Also news this morning about the italian trial saga six years in the making. Amanda knox vowing to fight wrongful prosecution. We are live in plor recognize with more. Reporter hi, well the victim meredith kerchers brother and sister speaking out this morning saying nothing will bring back meredith. Their lawyer has long argued for this conviction. Meanwhile, outrage among amanda knockss supporters. Theyre saying she and sollecito have been railroaded by the italians. Guilty once again. The amanda knox murder trial far from over this morning after knox was last night slapped with her second conviction of the murder of british student meredith kercher. This is a third time an Italian Court has heard the case. The judge overturned the original conviction due to errors in the investigation. She returned to the United States and made no appearance in this trial. Last night, a woman believed to be amanda knox was whisked away by family members. Knox released a statement saying i am frightened and saddened by this unjust verdict. I expected better from the italian justice system. Now the court has sentenced knox to 28 1 2 year in prison. Knoxs exboyfriend, sollecito was also convicted. He was on hand to hear the verdict. And the kercher family keeping the focus on the victim at the center of the case. When it is finally upheld or not, nothings of course going to bring meredith back. Nothing will ever take away the horror of what happened to her. The best we can hope for is, of course, finally bringing this whole case to a conclusion, you know, and a conviction and everybody can then move on with their lives. Reporter next up, a fresh round of appeals and many unanswered questions. Will italy request her extradition from the United States and will the u. S. Grant it. In italy, youre still actually presumed innocent until that third final stage. The prosecution asked for a questionnaire or provisional arrest warrant today. It was rejected. The court recognized she is lawfully in the United States. Reporter but knox says shes fearful of her future. It would feel like a train wreck if they would order my arrest and the Italian Government would approach the american fwovt and say, extradite her. And i dont know what would happen. Reporter theres been an update on Raffaele Sollecitos where abouts. He has been detained near a northern italian town. He was found in a hotel at 1 00 a. M. In the morning. Police were following him on court orders to seize his passport and other travel documents because he had been deemed a flight risk. Hes telling police that he was not running away. Back to you. All right. Thank you very much for that update. So finally, a break for the people of atlanta. Temperatures inches just high enough for the ice to start melting. But people are still recovering from the mess. Any abandoned cars, they were towed away after most people were able to retrieve them during the day yesterday. Now finally, an apology from georgias governor. Good morning, george. Reporter kate, good morning. It is pressly 26 degrees in atlanta. Its expected to get into the 50s. That is welcome news as the commute here gets back to normal. And we are hearing an apology from the states governor and a personal admission that he could have done more. This morning, the icy roads that froze atlanta to a standstill continued to thaw out. This, as georgias governor tries to alleviate criticism. I accept responsibility for the fact that we did not make preparation early enough to avoid these consequences. Reporter governor nathan deal came out strong on thursday. Im not going to look for a scapegoat. I am the governor. The buck stops with me. Reporter a sharp contrast to his role in the blame game the morning after the storm. The National Weather svrs had continuely had their molgding showing the city of atlanta would not be the primary area where the storm would hit. Reporter governor deal ordered an internal review for the states delayed response to tuesdays crisis. Take a look at the traffic map showing the green smooth flow turning deep red, the color of gridlock. Throughout thursday, people came back to claim their abandoned cars. Your vehicle was towed. Reporter state troopers and the National Guard are helping transport people to the more than 2,000 vehicles strewn along roads and highways. I give them an a inspite of all the fs this is an a and i thank them. Reporter overnight, state troopers scoured the roadways. Today, the cleanup is moving forward. Even though some neighborhood streets are still sheets of size, a 14yearold girl lost part of her leg thursday on one such street after the abandoned car she was standing behind was struck by another car. I think its been a big wake up call. I think its going to cause all of us to be more aggressive in terms of declaring states of emergency. Reporter what a difference a few days makes. You see the commute getting back to normal. All of the cars have been identified and most have been removed from the roads. We also know that the governor has extended that state of emergency until sunday to keep resources on the ground to help folks who need them. Back to you. Getting it right this time. Thanks so much. Preparations werent in place. But in truth, the information about the weather has been. Lets get over to Indra Petersons. The question is, when does this go away. Theres that part as well. You can go back right now and actually see the forecast discussions way back, several days, 48 hours before. But speaking of today, it is still cold out there. Temperatures this morning again below freezing. So the concern any ice that is still out there, still frozen this morning. But theres the difference. Temperatures already ten degrees warmer today than they were yesterday morning. Were going to continue that trend as we go through the afternoon. Not only in the southeast, but above normal. Start to see that recovery very quickly. Same story even in the northeast. Looking at those temperatures climbing. Thats good news. It doesnt mean theres no showers in the forecast. And some good ones. 1 to 2 inches of snowfall per hour in denver. Near 10 inches at the higher elevations. Look at these numbers. 6 to 10 inches of snow in through chicago. There are two, tomorrow being the stronger one making its way all the way in through michigan. You can see the icing from ohio valley back through the plains. The first weather model does not bring us showers for super bowl sunday. But we have several models. The european model does bring the chance for showers right before the game and right after the game. So needless to say, the forecast is still changing as far as super bowl sunday. It seems that its a no go in terms of changing the date. Its important, if its going to be pouring rain, the coaches will have a different game plan. Either way, no one wants to be wet. Coming up next on new day, amanda knox convicted again of murder by an Italian Court sentencing her to 28 1 2 here in prison. The question now, will the u. S. Ever agree to extradite her.

Does it have a dinosaur that can turn into a robot and chop the water like a karate ninja . Yeah. Wait, what . Why would it not . [ male announcer ] its not complicated. Bigger is better. And at t now covers more than 99 of all americans. Amanda knox, the big debate is if theres little evidence of guilt how was she convicted not once but twice. Prosecutors have a lot more freedom to paint a picture and can go further in arguing the character of a defendant. In amandas case, was a picture it was. Thats why amanda knox asked to con front these allegations back in may. Heres her answer. That is simply coming out of the prosecution. No witnesses have ever come out saying anything like that. And the reason why they continue to per pep wait this idea is because they had this idea about me because it would legitimize their accusations against me. I would be the type of person, a deviant who would do this. Would not have been allowed in the u. S. System and wound up being a huge factor in the italian one. Lets bring in steve moore, retired supervisor and special agent for the fbi and joey jackson. Lets play this this way. I will present what the prosecution is putting out there. Steve you deal with it on an evidentiary basis and then what happens with the u. S. Italy relations. My pleasure. The basic case here, steve is, you admitted it, amanda knox, you wrote it out that you confessed you did this. We have dna inconsistencies with your blood and the blood of the victim. We have a nice from the scene that seems to fit. We have rudy gaday that says you were involved. Your behavior troubling. That is my case. Why is it not Strong Enough in your opinion . The knife didnt fit the wounds in the victim. Thats out. The knife had no dna from the victim. Its out. They brow beat her for 53 hours over five days to get her to implicate someone else that they needed to have. There was nothing that you can put down that is in any way, shape or form has survived the appeals. It is also false, its also gone. Joey jackson, i suggest that this was a sex game fwon wrong. Meredith kercher was a young woman of virtue. It wound up in murder and you confessed and you did cart wheels in the hallways afterwards while consisting your boyfriend and an innocent person doesnt do it. The facts are, chris, that in any prosecution you need evidence, you need facts to base any statements that youre making. Absolutely. But when you think about also cart wheels. Lets talk about the consist to the boyfriend. How are you going to base a legitimate prosecution upon evidence that doesnt exist at the scene but that were talking about in terms of how she reacted. You could regard the chris as consist as consoling her. You know, and being held by the police. And so when you look at the actual evidence in terms of the case itself, its problematic. Very quickly, on the issue of the dna and the nice knife. You dont have ed that you leave for seven weeks and then you determine were going to test it then. You dont have a knife that you pick up out of the kitchen and say, lets say thats the crime scene knife. This court however saw things differently. You had two judges and six jurors who viewed evidence. We dont know exactly everything they looked at. But can you just as muchly explain away 12 hours of deliberation . Yeah, i really i do believe that the the decision was made before the jury was empanelled. Thats how the italian judicial system works. Thats why theyre such i dont want to say laughing stock, but they are certainly one of the more suspect journal systems in all of western europe. So the 12 hours was simply to make it look good. Theres going to be review of the sprout. Forget about that process. Its what will the u. S. Do if this conviction is upheld. There is an extradition treaty. Absolutely. Speak to the president as to how each country has treated this treaty. Sure. Well in terms of the provision in the treaty, theres an article ten. The United States can interpret that provision with overturning her conviction, thoughing it out and say look, we had independent experts establishing they werent even at the crime scene and this dna was unreliable. Therefore, there is no reasonable cause to believe they committed this crime. And we do have precedent that italy refused to send someone to us. And sure. Back in 2009. Not that there was an extradition request, there may not be one here. There were 22 cia agents charged with the kidnapping of a terrorist. And they of course convicted. Never spent a day of jail in italy. There is precedent for people convicted in italy not being returned and vice versa. The big question of course, whether it ends in her favor, she has a very long process of trying to figure out where her freedoms exist. The kercher family still hasz to wonder when will there be absolute justice in this. Appreciate the perspective. Obviously this is as much of a debate as it is a case. Tweet us what you think.

Thank sos much. Lets get mow to measure of more of jake tappers extensive interview with president obama. It covers everything from raising two daughters to his thoughts on pope francis. Jake is here once again. We ran through a lot of issues. This is from the lighter section of the interview. I want to confide in you and our viewers that as a white house correspondent, sometimes there was tension between me and the president. So at the beginning of the interview we did this walkin talk. To clear the air, i might ask him about his favorite topic. So the first lady just gave an interview. She said that your daughters not so concerned with whether or not you had a bad between. More concerned about, okay, dad, thats great, wheres my allowance. They have some awareness of whats going on. And we have great conversations although mostly its more about history than it is about whats going on right now. Its true. Look, theyre teenagers. They are fully absorbed with their lives, whats going on at school. Theyre not into your approval ratings. They really are not. Are you bringing them when you go to the vatican . You know, they met the previous pope the last time they went to roam. Im not sure theyre going to have a chance to go this time. One was still pretty young at the time. They see the chapel and going through these various chambers. Each time shed see somebody dressed up in the cloth, shed say, is that the pope, is that the pope, how about that guy over there. No, no, youll know when it is finally the pope. I was thinking about this pope. I was thinking about theres so much excitement. People think hes going to change everything. Do you want to talk to him about the importance of managing expectations at all . I have been really impressed so far with the way hes communicated what i think is the essence of the Christian Faith and that is a true sense of brotherhood and sister hood and regard for those who are less fortunate. And my suspicion is based on what ive seen of him so far, hes a pretty steady guy. I dont think he needs any advice from me about staying humble. Hes not looking at his approval rating. I dont think he is. I think he is very much reflecting on his faith and what he needs to do to make sure that folks not just of the catholic faith but people all around the world are living out a message that he thinks is consistent with the lessons of jesus christ. Thats a meeting im looking forward to. And of course, we got into many, many more topics in addition to the economy and the imperial presidency. We talked about whether or not. We talked about whether or not he would allow his friends to go to the sochi olympics. Its a very complicated answer. He doesnt just say, yes, go. I also think a complicated answer when he has to talk to his daughters about his approval rating. They dont care. I come home, ive had a rough day, my kids could not care less. Its kind of nice to know that same thing happens with them. Even living at the white house. I didnt ask him if the first lady feels bad for him. Thats not my business its not my biznatch. Find out what he says about the nsa and safety at the sochi olympics. You can watch the full interview today on jakes show at 4 00 eastern. Dennis rodmans struggles. Our explosive interview on new day, really just the beginning of the story. We find him in a place thats more dangerous for him than north korea. Hes facing his demons in rehab. , is that true . Says here that cheerios has whole grain oats that can help remove some cholesterol, and thats heart healthy. [ dad ] jan . I have a big meeting when we land, but i am so stuffed up, i cant rest. [ male announcer ] nyquil cold and flu liquid gels dont unstuff your nose. They dont . Alka seltzer plus night fights your worst cold symptoms, plus has a decongestant. [ inhales deeply ] oh. What a relief it is. Welcome back to new day. This morning, former nba star Dennis Rodman is undergoing treatment for his long struggle with alcoholism. He checked himself in after the trip to north career ya which included his out of control interview here on new day. Were going to speak with Dennis Rodman live this time. He made the request saying its part of his healing. What is behind his decades long battle with addiction. And what is hopefully a discussion about his determination to finally recover. First for you now, a look at what brought Dennis Rodman to this point. Fivetime nba champ doctor, the worm. Notorious with crossing lines, cross dressing, even crossing over into crossdressing. But this was the crown july in his career of controversy. I dont give a rats ass what the hell you think. It quickly turned into Something Else. Happy birthday to you a birthday present for kim jongun. This is my friend. The bizarre access rodman has to the much maligned leader with his bizarre behavior. Rodman would later apologize to us, his teammates and to Kenneth Bae Rodman drunkenly accused of wrong doing. Do you understand what he did . You tell me. No, no, no. You tell me. You tell me. Behind all this bluster is a cry for help. Rodman admitted he was drunk in the interview and out of control. He checked into rehab, and its not the first time. Rodman first went in 2008. In 2009, his behavior on the Celebrity Apprentice was so bad, friends and family staged an intervention. Think this is going to help . Later that year, he chose rehab over jail. He was nowhere near bottom, insisting like so many that he could control his problem. Ive already got this under control. Im cool. I can do whatever i want to. Ive got it straightened the [ bleep ] out. Arguably access to north korea could not control his own addiction. He finds himself in a hell that is familiar to more and more americans every day. Rodman is facing those demons in rehab. Were going to visit him there later in the show. Stay tuned for that. Going to take a break, though. Next up on new day, who do you think will win the big game this sunday . I have my opinion. The broncos. Heres a hint, they never worry about the points. Is that about the republicans .

I would recommend that they brush with pronamel. Pronamel is formulated to strengthen enamel and counteract the effects of acid erosion. They dont need to cut out those foods because they are good for them. But you can make some smart choices. Open to innovation. Open to ambition. Open to bold ideas. Thats why new york has a new plan dozens of tax free zones all across the state. Move here, expand here, or start a new business here and pay no taxes for ten years. Were new york.

This is the first interview since the state of the union address. And he sat down with our very own jake tapper. Key issues facing americans including whether the nsa has gone too far and should the federal government be missing people now for smoking pot. Were lucky to have jake tapper here this morning. The president gave an interview a few weeksing a in which he made those comments that surprised a lot of people about marijuana. This really contradicts official Obama Administration policy. If you go to the white house website directly contradicts. Yeah. Marijuana is a schedule 1 narcotic alongside heroin and ecstasy. So the more casual way he talked about it surprised people. Thats where i picked up this part of the interview. Another big issue has to do with the legalization of marijuana. You said that you thought smoking pot was a bad habit but you didnt think it was any worse for a person than drinking. Now that contradicts the official Obama Administration policy both on the website of the office of National Drug policy and also that it is considered a schedule 1 product. Do you think you were maybe talking just a little too casually about it in the new york error are you considering not making marijuana a schedule one narcotic . First of all, what is and isnt a schedule 1 narcotic is a job for congress. I think its the dea. Its not something by ourselves that we start changing. There are laws under those determination. Will you support but the broader point, i understand by my belief, based i think on the scientific evidence, that marijuana for casual users, individual users is subject to abuse just like alcohol is and should be treated as a Public Health problem and challenge. But as i said in the interview, my concern is when you end up having very heavy criminal penalties for individual users that have been applied unevenly and in some cases, with a racial disparity. I think that is a problem. Over the long term, what i believe is if we can deal with some of the criminal penalty issues, then we can really tackle what is a problem not just for marijuana but also alcohol, also cigarettes, also harder drugs and that is try to make sure that our kids dont get dont get into these habits in the first place. And, you know, the encars ration model that weve taken, particularly around marijuana, does not seem to have produced the kind of results that weve set. But i do offer a cautionary note and i said this in the interview, those who think legalization is a panacea, they have to ask themselves some tough questions too. If we start having a situation where big corporations with a lot of resources are suddenly going out there peddling marijuana, then the levels of abuse that may take place are going to be higher. When your director of national intelligence, clapper, testified before congress and said before the snowden leaks that there was no masseur va lance going on, a lot of democrats in the senate think that he was not honest. He said later that it was the least untruthful answer he could give. I know that you have faith in clapper. I know that you believe that these programs protect the American People. But i cant believe that you werent disappointed by his answer because least untruthful is not a phrase i remember hearing on the campaign trail. The i think that jim clapper himself would acknowledge and has acknowledged that he should have been more careful about how he responded. His his concern was that he had a class five program that he couldnt talk about and he was in open hearing in which he was asked, he was prompted to disclose a program and so he felt that he was caught between a rock and a hard place. Do you understand what he did. Subsequently i think he acknowledged he could have handle it better. I think the broader point is that everybody that ive dealt with in our Intelligence Community is really working hard to try to do a very tough job. Protect us when there are constant threat streams coming at us, but doing so in a way thats consistent with the law, consistent with our constitution and consistent with our privacy rights. I am actually confident that we can continue to have the best intel jeps service in the world, but win back the confidence of both the American People and folks overseas. Its going to take time and work. Partly because the technology has just moved so quickly that the discussions that that need to be had didnt happen fast enough, didnt happen on the front end. You know, i think that we have the opportunity now to move forward in a way thats going to make a difference. A lot of members of congress and not just the fringe ones, the ones that are serious lawmakers have said to cnn that they would not let their family members go to sochi, that they are not confident it will be safe. You see all the intelligence. I know youre not going and michelle is not going. But if Close Friends of yours or Close Friends of the girls said, hey, were thinking about going, what would you tell them . Id tell them that i believe sochi is safe and that there are always some risks in these Large International gatherings. Im aulgz going to feel even better if its inside the United States. But the russian authorities understand the stakes here. They understand there are potential threats that are out there. And we are coordinating with them. Weve looked at their plans. I think we have a good sense of the security of that their putting in place to protect the athletes themselves but also visitors there. So what i would say is, is that if you want to go to the olympic, you should go to the olympic. Were not discouraging in any way americans from participating in what is always an amazing and wonderful event. In these large settings like this, there are always some risks involved. And i dont want to completely discount those. As weve seen here in the United States, the boston marathon. There were some risks if you have cells of folks who are trying to do some damage. Thank you for your time. Appreciate it. Believe it or not, there is still some of this interview that has not aired. You can watch the full interview today on the lead at 4 00 p. M. Eastern. We talked about cory remsberg. An amazing moment for the state of the union. Very moving. We talked about afghanistan and then i did make him choose between biden versus hillary or broncos versus seahawks. You twisted his arm . Im wondering which one did he decide. Well see. Its so interesting listening to the president talk about the nsa right now and james clapper. Because on the issue of privacy and intelligence, theres no question that his position has changed from when he was candidate obama. But listening to him articulate it, it doesnt seem theres a lot of clarity if that. He doesnt seem to be where the line is. I ask him about clapper doing what a lot of people would just straight out say, lying to congress. He said something that wasnt true. And clapper himself said that when he was asked about these massive surveillance programs on the American People before Edward Snowden leaked their existence to the world, he said he gave the least untruthful answer he could. I said to the president , i dont recall least untruthful from the pam contain campaign trail he defended clapper. He has to though. That was the first time ive heard somebody in the administration say he was being asked about classified programs in an open congressional hearing, basically excusing it. If it was a senator, he would have had a very different opinion. Why do you think he struggles so much . Its the difference from looking at these programs from the outside than in. I think thats right. I talked to a lot of people who worked for many president ial candidates about this. The moment you become the nominee, the moment you get the briefings about the terrorist threats and other threats in the United States and then the moment you become president and all of a sudden responsible for 320 million americans, it does change your perspective. Perhaps it allows people to rethink their positions on principles they previously held dear when it comes to Civil Liberties and civil rights. Thats the explanation i have. Im not excusing it. The American People do want to know that line because the trust has been broken since all of these leaks came at. He defended clapper. He defended him. And a lot more to come. Thanks for coming on.

Eli facing a new lawsuit alleging fraud. Now that claims that manning and the giants sold fake memorabilia that they passed off as gameused items. But the quarterback is firing back. Were on super bowl would in time square with the latest on this. Andy . Reporter if youre holden onto any Sports Memorabilia thats labeled game used this is something you dont want to hear. The giants from the dry cleaner all the way to eli manning was accused of passing off items as becameused and hes alleging theyve been doing this for years. Ely manning is tachycardia ling a legal battle. Several of his jerseys and helmets were doctored. He filed a lawsuit claiming the giants quarterback participated in the use so he could hold onto some of his most prized items. One of them is his 2008 super bowl helmet. Manning denied any wrong doing in a statement saying, the giants told me this suit is completely without merit and i have no reason to believe otherwise. The giants are going to fight it and so will i. My advice would be to have the collectors do their own research. Reporter a life long giants fan claims he was buying and reselling memorabilia from the team for decades. In 2011 he was indicted for memorabilia fraud. In a statement, his attorney said, he is simply trying to hold those individuals accountable for their actions and the harm it has caused to him. Included in the lawsuit, is an email exchange in which they appear to acknowledge creating fake game worn gear. If that email is le jit, then you could argue that thats a smoking gun. You have someone with knowledge that theres conspiracy to the fraud and to pawn off equipment that is really not lee jit. Reporter these arent the type of questions elys brother peyton wanted to answer. Theres a question that he was involved in fake memorabilia, forgeries. Do you have a comment or reaction to that . No. Reporter so the lawsuit is 77 pages law. It names eli, the giants, the team president. This is not something they wanted during this weeks festivities. They want the attention to go quickly back into the game. Peyton didnt look happy at all to get that question. No. Thanks. Coming up next, amanda knox convicted once again. Sentenced to 28 1 2 years.

Welcome back to new day. Amanda knoxs lawyers are vowing to appeal her stunning murder conviction this morning. She was found guilty once again in the murder of her roommate and sentenced to 28 1 2 years in prison in an italian prison. Of course there are questions if she could be forced to return to italy. Lets talk about whats next and how the knox family is reacting. Her lawyer here in the u. S. , tedd simon. I can only imagine how much of a whirlwind it has been in the last 24 hours and few weeks. So thank you for taking the time. Youre welcome and good morning to you. I know you had been in communication with amanda throughout the day yesterday. Have you had a chance to speak with her and get a reaction since the verdict . True. We were in touch constantly all day yesterday and of course also with her family in waiting in anticipation of this next verdict. I can tell you that upon receiving the news, it was terrible news. She understands more than anyone that a Wrongful Conviction is unjust not just for the accused, but for the victim, their family as well as society. So she feels this very personally. While she accepted that very difficult news, she has rebounded. She has shown great resill yans and forget attitude. We would charkz that as a completely unjust conviction. I know you understand she was previously found innocence. Right. By a jury. Not that she was found not guilty. She was found actually innocent. A verdict that is possible in italy. Yet, there was no evidence then and theres no evidence now. So thats why it becomes so incomprehensible how could there be a different verdict where theres no new or differing evidence. It is more favorable today than it was before. Real quick kind of on what this does to her. Because i was talking with another person whos been in close contact with her, ryan ferguson. He came on the show. He and amanda had been in communication. He says this is so tough for her really because her life is in limbo, she cant move on and live her life. You talk about her resill yans. How does she stay sane. How does she remain resill i cant when this happens . I guess you also have to understand the type of person she is. Shes is kind hearted person. She thinks about other people before herself. That becomes very apparent when you get to know her. One thing that is very clear, yesterday, demonstrated on incredible out pouring and ground swell of support from those people that know her and those that do not. So to that extent, theres a great deal of support. And we know some things really dont change. This was a terrible, fwru some, horrific murder. With this type of murder, there would have been evidence of amanda knox in the room. And we know that was not the case. There was no hair, fiber. Fingerprint, sweat, saliva, dna of amanda knox in the room. That in and of itself tells you its an unassailable truth that she was simply not in the room. No country has a mow moply unjustice and Wrongful Convictions happener where. So this is not a question of nationality or or location as much as it is one of a really horrific miss karnl of justice. And she and her family and supporters are hoping this gets reversed. And were a long way off. I want to get into whats next. How do you have any confidence that you can successfully fight to clear her name when you have seen how this Legal Process has continued . Well, you know, i i use the term hope because i believe she feels and the family feels at someplace there will be a recognition of the truth. And a recognition that there is absolutely no evidence today, there was no evidence before, and there never will be any evidence of her guilt. How far out do you think that is . These next steps are months in the coming. Oh, more than that. Were probably, you know, i would guess probably a year away before the next, you know, proceeding. So you know, again, you know, theres fortitude, theres resilien resilience theres a recognition that shes not guilty. That is a part that remains in the hopeful category. One does not know what the future brings. Two quick questions. Just want to get your take on the reports we have this morning of her former boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito. He says he wasnt fleeing. Do you know anything about what he was trying to do . No i cant speak to that. The first i heard about that was broadcast on cnn. Youre in front of us on that. So i really dont know anything about it. But i can tell you something about amanda. Amanda has been in complete compliance with all court orders. She was not required to attend these new proceedings. In fact, yesterday, the court recognized she was lawfully in the United States and did not issue any kind of cautionary arrest. So theres a recognition that she is here properly she has complied lawfully and will continue to do so and will continue to fight this case with every bone in her body. Her family is fully behind her with a great deal of support and the constant recognition that theres simply a profound loss of evidence. And its basically incomprehensible how could there be today or yesterday any different verdict than the one that issued before from another Appellate Court jury that found her you continue to see this process continue. Understandably so. It is early to be talking about any question of extradition. As you said, we have an appeal you need to focus on first. Today, if it doesnt go her way are you still 100 confident that she would not be extradited . You know, i can understand why that is the question of the day. But its really not a question that is an issue today or tomorrow or for a long time to come. We have to await the motivation that will be generated by the court. We have to see the basis upon which they have rendered their finding. From that, there will be an appeal. A minimum of one appeal. So, you know, again, i understand why you might be posing the question today, but its really not right for consideration. And i wouldnt, you know, comment on that at this time. More than one bridge to cross before that is something that youll have to face. Its always great to see you. Thank you for taking the time this morning. Its going to be a busy few days for you. Yes. Thank you very much. Of course. All right. Back over to john for more headlines. Making news this hour, cnns exclusive interview with president obama.

Firefighters now on administrative leave following reports they ignored desperate pleas to help a man having a heart attack. Officials are trying to find a 77yearold man died when help was just right across the street. Whats going on here . Reporter john, the incidet happened here at this fire station on saturday where theres now on Investigation Underway to term exactly what happened, whether red tape got in the way or bad judgment or just plain negligence. When 77yearold cecil mills collapsed outside this shopping center, his daughter saw one silver lining. They were just across the street from a fire station. But shockingly firefighters refused several desperate requests from the dying mans daughter and witnesses. I even ran to the curb and said are you going to help me or are you going to let my dad die. Reporter they told them they had to call 911 before anyone could respond. Protocol is heartless. Its heartless and thats how i felt. Reporter someone did call 911 later. But to make matters worse, that ambulance went to the wrong location 20 minutes away. Cecil mills died that day leaving his daughter heart broken. They are now investigating, questioning 15 people including three firefighters involved directly. Was anybody who is here today there on saturday . The deputy mayor who oversees the Department Says nothing should have prevented helping mills. Firefighters routinely go into danger. They dont waitment they responsibility. This goes against what Fire Fighting is all about. Reporter its obviously is very sad story. But its still unknown what, if any, role, the delay in response played in cecil mills death. I think they put it pretty well. The callous disregard for a mans life. Lets take another break. Coming up next. A lot of people watching the super bowl, right . Of course. But a lot of people watching the super bowl tuning in just for the commercials. But at 4 million for a 30second spot, you wonder if companies are getting much of a return on their investment. So why are they spending all that cash . Ple a question, how much money do you think youll need when you retire . Then we gave each person a ribbon to show how many years that amount might last. I was trying to, like, pull it a little further. [ woman ] got me to 70 years old. Im going to have to rethink this thing. Its hard to imagine how much well need for a retirement that could last 30 years or more. So maybe we need to approach things differently, if we want to be ready for a longer retirement. And our giant idaho potato truck is still missing. So my dog and i were going to go find it.

No longterm agreement. Really . Really. Ok, so whats the catch . There is no catch. Plans sat 45 a month, with no annual contract. Only from at t. Once again. The super bowl is two days away. Lets be serious. A lot of people are more excited about atds than the actual game. Not me. This year a 30 second spot runs more than 4 million. Makes you wonder. Is it worth it . Lets go Nischelle Turner live on super bowl boulevard in typewriter. Is it worth it . Reporter thats the question were trying to find out. Its been said 36 of the 100 plus Million People watching sundays game will be watching more for the commercials than the game itself. Thats the percentages were getting. The question is why and at the end of the day does it matter . Do people buy what they are selling . Well we decided to find out. [ screaming ] do you remember laughing with this . Feeling really uncomfortable during this or rooting for this adorable little kid . You know you liked watching them but do you even remember what those commercials were for . Believe it or not despite all the buzz a recent study shows 80 of those ads dont make people buy the stuff they are selling. So why are Companies Spending big bucks on ads year after year . They do it because if it is successful the game is tremendous. Reporter some experts say the Super Bowl Ad craze started 30 years ago when steve jobs took a chance by airing a controversial ad for apples debut of the macintosh computer, drawing parallels between ibm computers and the Conformist Society in go, orwells society 1984. Apple saw a huge spike in macintosh sales. That was the benchmark and is still the benchmark today that people use to decide whether or not a Super Bowl Ad is effective. Reporter that ad costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to produce. Since then the cost from duce and air commercials has skyrocketed. In the past decade Forbes Magazine said money spent on advertising in the super bowl has doubled from 150 million to more than 300 million because its one of the few tv events of the year as evidently dvr proof. We dont want to show up the next day and say we want to watch the super bowl on tape tonight, we want to watch it live. Thats why the super bowl with over 100 Million People watching it live commands the price for advertising it does. Reporter since companies are spending that money on a few hours of tv broadcasting some now release teasers weeks ahead of the big game to garner buzz online. David beckham may score points. You go there and vote at the end of this commercial. Everybody loves david beckham. Reporter others may fall short of the goal mine. Two professional teams will be playing a game in honor of my first wonderful pistachios commercial. Thats a flop. Wonderful pistachios will not see a bounce because of that commercial. Reporter will we talk about that or will that commercial fall flat . A lot of questions well be asking. Those 30 second Super Bowl Ads we know they are expensive. Did you know they are more expensive than any other sporting broadcast. More expensive than the world series, game seven of the nba finals, olympics, more expensive. I was giving you some stats this morning. I have stats folks with me. Jonathan becker and alexisgl imi ck. Alexis, i want to talk with you. You partner up with the super bowl for fuel up to play 60.

My first reaction was no, this is wrong, and im going to do everything i can to, to prove that it is. And i felt very determined and my family felt very determined. But it was only on my way here that i really got my first cry. I talked to don sallo, the priest in the prison, weve stayed in contact and he reminded me that people still believe in me and that, like this is an experience that i have to testify to. That that really horrible things can happen and you have to stand up for yourself and you have to believe that its going to be okay. I will never go willingly back to the place where im going to fight this until the very end, and its not right. And its not fair. And im going to do everything i can. Granted, i need a lot of help. I cant do this on my own and i cant help people understand this on my own.

Well talk about the next legal steps for amanda knox later on in the show. First lets get back to our other big story this morning and to chris. All right, kate, thank you very much. Im here now with Dennis Rodman. Were in a rehabilitation facility. You wanted to have this interview. You had some things you wanted to get off your chest. Lets start with the obvious. Why are you here . Why are you here, dennis . Why am i here . I think it goes back a while, a way back. I think the fact all the things ive been going through the last year and a half, certain situations and i figured that this is a great time for me to come here to reflect and try to put myself at ease, at peace about things thats been going on in the last year and a half. And i thought this was an appropriate time to be here to try to gather my thoughts, gather my views about life and which direction i wanted to go. How do you work on controlling alcohol . Well, i wish people wouldnt say it like that. Ive always been a party animal. And ive always said to the media and to the world that, you know what . I dont hurt anyone. I never carry a gun. I never had a gun. I dont have a knife. I dont have anything that would damage anyones, their future about what they do in life. Thats not my job. My job is to do one thing and that is to be a professional entertainer and human being on this planet to entertain people and keep them happy and keep them strong and keep peoples spirits uplifting. I think ive done a great job at that. But i think for me, the reason i drink is because im bored. You drink because youre bored. Absolutely. Ive been saying that for years. Ever since 1993. I need to be active. I need to be productive and keep my mind on life in general. But drinking does all the opposite things doesnt it, dennis . You know, you want to ask all the hard questions. Im the only guy in the world to answer these questions. I come straight at you. I speak from my heart and i speak from my sleeves. You ask me anything in the world. You think im asking you hard questions or obvious one. Were in a rehab center. First step we admit were powerless over alcohol. If you give a person that you give an interview to, an opportunity to speak out. Ive been in rehab, but for me rehab i dont have to drink. I came to the realization 15 years ago, i dont really have to drink, you know. I dont need to go in a bar or a restaurant and go for alcohol. Thats not my job. I did it for recreational purposes. Like most people in the world when they go to the bar or a restaurant 90 have a drink. Could it be a glass of wine. It could be anything thats very simple. And for me its more like i love to have a good time. I love to be around people to have a good time. And for me, yes, i admitted so many times hey i drink and people know that. And am ian alcoholic . Absolutely. I cant deny that. Did you dome rehab to try to control the addiction and try to take it out of your life or Something Else . I said it to dr. Drew. Im a human first. The one thing that people for human beings in america has always done or people in america they always have gave people first, second, third chances. And to redeem themselves and to be a part of society with or without alcohol, with or without drugs people always have that heart of hearts knowing people are trying to get help. Lets talk redemption. Last interview we had were you drunk in that interview . Oh, my god, really . Were you . Thats what ive been told. You know what . I think the fact that when i was in north korea, after the game, stuff like that, yes, we had absolutely we had a lot of drinks. We partied after the game. We went back to the hotel. We had some wine and sake. During the interview were you of right mind . It wasnt about me being in the right mind. I want people to understand this. It wasnt about that. I think the fact when a certain person asks you a question when they are not supposed to ask you that question at that particular time knowing the fact that i wasnt in the state to really properly answer that question, i think it was unfair. But, you know your answer was the way it was because you thought me asking it was unfair. I think the fact that you wanted a story you could have at least asked me first. I think that was the proper thing to do and at the moment, you know, i didnt think too much about it and i told you before this interview i said i dont hate you. Youre doing your job. Ill treat you like anybody else. Ill shake your hand, hug you, go out and have a cigar. I asked the question because its so obvious, they are so important to how people view you and whats going on with this situation. That i cannot ask them. Absolutely. When you call somebody a friend who a lot of people believe is one of the most dangerous people in the world, you got to answer for that. You got to explain it. Absolutely. So the question is now that youve had some time to get your thoughts together here do you believe that trip was something you shouldnt have done. The way you acted in that interview you shouldnt have done . Ill do a press conference next week in new york and like i told you ill have an open mic for any press that wants to come and see this interview they can ask me anything in the world about north korea. Like i said i speak from my heart. Like i said, im a human first. What i said in the media, stuff like that. I said i dont know him as a dictator. With him hes a 31yearold guy and i call him a kid all the time and yeah hes my friend. I look at him as that because he gave me the opportunity to at least come in to the country of north korea to bring a basketball team, to show the world, just show the world that we can actually get along. I wasnt trying to look in the history book and what went on what his grandfather or father, that wasnt my job. Or him. Or him. That wasnt my job. That wasnt my assignment to go over, hey, kim jongun can i come over here and ask you questions why youre such a bad guy. We go into the political stage of this that wasnt my job. I said that from day one. Im not an ambassador. Im not a diplomat. Thats not my job. I agree. My job was to go and do one thing, to go do a documentary with a team from beijing and we did the documentary stuff right there. Did you go over there originally because you were getting paid or out of some sense of purpose or both . Ill explain it like this. I didnt think i was going to north korea at all. That popped out of the blue. This company in beijing wanted us to do a documentary with them about north korea. It was about getting paid also, right . The one thing that anyone in the world especially professional basketball, anything like that, i said guess what . You can pay me a dollar ill still play the game of basketball. Phil jackson, anybody in the world its not about the money. Its never been about the money. Its not about the money. You go there to do the documentary. I get youre not an ambassador. I get that. I get youre not about the politics. I get that. But you have to get that when you call this man your friend, and you seem to suggest that hes not a bad guy, and see theres not to you. Hes eat ear good guy or a bad guy and theres really not a close call on this, dennis, because of the atrocities thats happened there that hes responsible for, the regime, the oppression, whats happened with his uncle. You got to deal with that. He can be whatever you want him to be to you but you have to be open with people being upset with the idea when you call him a friend and a good guy when he does very bad things. Do you get that . I get that. But i say the same thing like wow, you know, i keep dealing people im not there to be an ambassador to try to figure out why did you go why are you doing all these things. Thats not my job. My job is to go there and do one thing. To go there and see if i can bring two countries together for a couple of days. Just avoid it. Just avoid talking about him at all. Dont say hes a good guy. You know what . You know whats amazing. Since ive been in this place here, you know gorbachev . I do. Did anybody say the fact that gorbachev was president of russia and we went over there to make amends and blend us and russia together did anybody talk about that . As ive been saying tv, i dont know anything about plirks tv, russia was the first country to have nuclear wars, Nuclear Weapons while we as americans as we always do. We as americans are on the forefront that would take anyone in because we love people. We love people in america. I love people. Im not judging because, you know, that person did something really, really bad. I dont know. You can know. The answer is yes, he did. You have to judge him by what he did. Hes not a person looking for a new chance. I know that. But, you know what . I think in the bible, everyone reads the bible, right . And . No matter what color, what creed or what bloodline you are we on this planet were human beings first. Im sorry people think im just leaning towards hes a great guy i want to live in north korea. No. The first part is though hes a great guy, i dont know him that way. I dont know what he did. Hes my friend. I look at him like chris, ill ask you a question one thing. Let me ask you a question. Please. You were in north korea . No i havent been there. Ill go with you. You go with me. Ill give you this opportunity now on national tv, on national tv, i will take you over there and introduce you to him. Great. It you to come back here and tell the world, tell the world in person to person is he a nice guy when you meet him. When you meet him. Not politics. When you meet him and sit down and have dinner with him. I want you to come im giving you and invitation. I take the invitation. I take the invitation. I want you to go over there and see with your own eyes. Im not worried about the politics. If he does these things theres no if. I dont go to the camps. I dont do anything. Thats your choice. But they are there. Thats great. Thats great. Im sorry. You dont have to apologize for it. Its not your fault. Im just saying you have to understand when you make this man into something hes not it upsent people. Thats it. I take your invitation. Lets see how i feel when i meet him. Ill go whenever you want. I would be surprised, ill tell you this, dennis as close and as tight as you are with this man i would be surprised if they let me come with you. I would be surprised. You have to ask why. Why dont we want this guy . You know what . Please, people take this in the right way. Im not trying to take the spotlight away from the super bowl. Its a great week for people in new york and around the world. Great weekend. But i want to come on and say this because i want people to understand this. You know, im not a traitor. Ive never been a traitor. I want to make people happy in the world. Thats my goal. Is to make people happy. Ive done everything in the world between the time i was born to 52 years old. Im still living. Im so happy the fact i got great people around me. People believe in you. People believe in me. People think you have a good heart. I have a great heart. My intentions are not bad intentions. I want people to understand that. When i was playing basketball people loved the hell out of me. They still do. They came at me for the last interview. A lot of people support you. Thats not what its about. I want to take a quick break. Well give the show a little bit of a rest. It puts us to where we are right now, youre trying to figure out what comes next four and here and here and in the outside world. Im very interested in where youll go from here. Lets take a break and well come back with dennis. All right. [ tires screech ] [ car alarm chirps ] [ male announcer ] we dont just certify our preowned vehicles.

One pill each morning. 24 hours. Zero heartburn. What comes next four and here welcome back to new day. Were still here with dennis. Youre smiling and laughing. I guess thats good. How is it going so far . Its awesome to be alive. And its very encouraging the fact that, you know, i have an opportunity to speak my mind on national tv around the world, and like i say, i want to say hello to my kids. Hope you guys are watching this. Daddy is safe. Hes trying to get things together. And hopefully ill see you guys soon. Thats all i want to say. That happens to be the most important. When you think why youre here are your kids at the top of the list . I said it all around the world. People respected me from saying what my heart feels and what i said in the hall of fame speech, you know what . The one thing i regret is the fact is i havent been a great dad. Ive been an awful dad because of the things ive been doing and some mishaps ive been doing and stuff like that that i have no control over. Like i said, one day i will be that father and like i said, theres a lot of step i have to take before i die and this is one of the major ones i take to show my kids that im not a dead beat dad, im a cool guy you can come to and we can show the crown. I will be a father one day and like i say, things dont happen overnight. What does it take to you get there . Whats that struggle about . Just release a lot inhibition of Dennis Rodman. They say you create this monster, dennis and you cant get out. I can get out. It depends do i want to get out. Like being in rehab or whatever, trying to face your, you know, your inhibit tmpinhibitions and. What is it like for you its like a seesaw. Ive had the opportunity of all the years to try to balance it out and ive told myself and other people, you know what . Yes, i tell people absolutely if i drink two or three days in a row, yes im an alcoholic. Absolutely. I have no shame in that. I told dr. Drew when i was on the show that, he asked me can you stop drinking and i said i dont think so. Thats honest. What does that mean to you you cant stop drinking. Ive seen myself ive seen myself grow up at the age of 45, 50 years old. Im always a kid at heart first but in the last five years ive really grown up to have my eyes open instead of Walking Around with blinders and thinking im the shit. Were on cable. I said im here to do one thing to keep everything in perspective. To realize that i dont need to put myself in harms way to drink or anything. But people are worried about you. Look, we joke around about what this interview, what are hard questions and what isnt. North korea is what it is. That situation is what is it. Ill tell you what the hard discussion is. Thats the big reason. This is no joke what goes on in a place like this. And i have less concern about what happens with you and Foreign Policy than i do about how you take this opportunity, what it means because people dont come here just to get their head together. If you want to face up, everybody drinks for a reason, dennis. Never just to have a good time. You know that. I dont need to lecture you about it. Its hard. I know its hard. Im not hearing that process. It sounds like this is a little rest point for you to collect yourself and move forward as opposed to taking on addiction. Is that fair . Ive had my addiction for the last 20 years. You dont think it takes effect . Yes, it does. You still drink too much sometimes and make people worried about you. Its like saying to me if i see somebody else if i saw say if i saw you say if i saw you drinking and you drank two or three days in a row, is it my responsibility to tell you i care about you would you stop drinking . Yes it is. Is that going to make you to stop drinking because i said so . No, i have to bottom out. Thats what ive been doing for the last 15, 20 years. Bottoming out . Ive been curbing my addiction. When you come in to a Rehab Facility and the doctor will tell enthusiast, anyone who comes to any rehab no matter what it is, alcohol, drugs, sex, whatever, they want to you come in as an addiction. As an addict. As an addict. When you come in to the rehab, they dont just cut you off completely. They dont do that. They have to do one thing. They wean you off slowly. Understand it. They just dont say hey stop drinking now. Its hard. Way too hard. You got to have a few days to get everything this is important stuff. This is the process. This is what people need to hear. Lets take a break and bring in the doctor. Dennis rodman is a famous man. A lot of people find themselves right here and dont know where to go. Lets bring in the doctor. Well take a break on new day. Dennis and his doctors are trying to chart the course forward. [ male announcer ] what kind of energy is so abundant, it can help provide the power for all this . Natural gas. More than ever before, americas electricity is generated by it. Exxonmobil uses advanced visualization and Drilling Technologies to produce natural gas. Powering our lives. While reducing emissions by up to 60 . Energy lives here. Welcome back to new day and of course with Dennis Rodman. Were with one of his doctors. Were talking about the process what were heepg for dennis and others that find themselves in this process. We were talking about redemption and putting north korea in the past. One thing, youre in here, trying to process thoughts. Do you have something that you feel is important to say to your teammates who were there with you to the bae family. Your words meant a lot to them a lot in a hurtful way. Maybe now theres some healing for to you do. Something you want to say to them. Ill say it again, im not an ambassador and i tried to describe it and tell people just because i know the marshal, that doesnt mean i know the marshal like that. I dont know anything about the guy kenneth bae. I know nothing about him. I didnt know who he was. People thought i knew. You also suggested in the interview that he had done something wrong. I never said what he did because i didnt know what he did. You suggested like he did something wrong. I went back to the question, do you know what de. People respond so badly. You dont think he did anything wrong . To this day i still dont know what he did. I never suggested i knew. Do you want to apologize to the bae family. I dont know the bae family. I dont want anyone if any country or anyone to be hostage for something they did or did not do. Im not in government. I dont know how that works. Dealing with the bae family, like i say i feel for them. I feel for them deeply. Like i said, i will do anything, literally, anything this is Dennis Rodman talking. If they say well take Dennis Rodman and let kenneth bae go, straightaway take me. That offer is very generous. That offer i will do that. When i go to mostly cloudy with you dont say take him and let kenneth bae. I would do that. You would exchange yourself for him. I have no problem. 15 years of hard labor. Like i said, i dont want to get into that. Obama if he wants to address that, stuff like that and just to clear it up, people think i hate obama. I think obama has done a hell of a job. I give him credit. You catch me saying certain things off key like ice my fault. I like the guy. So you own what you said in the past. You apologize for what you said in the past. Now we come forward. Dock, to as we were talking earlier, ive spontaneity lot of time as you know over the years understanding, working in and around the rehab process. This is unusual to have somebody who wants to come in during the treatment and see it as part of their healing process. Explain to it me, doc. Much like he said before its very unusual in the middle of a process for someone to start asking and start probing and taking the focus off what it is you might be working on. You know, i was struck by something that was said before and i just its on my mind i dont want it to get lost when somebody says i party. Theres million americans this weekend, this super bowl is coming up that are going to party from friday to sunday. And monday maybe. And they are going to say i dont have a problem. I just party. They have a problem. Families suffer. People suffer. You know, theres, i think, going into much like you said, going into a place like this, beginning to sort of understand yourself and understand do i have a problem, can i cutback, does it work for me . Some people can. Some people cant. Why do you believe it can be healing for dennis to come out and talk about these issues and put out there how he really feels. How is that part of the process . Well, working your steps, making amends. Its a part of the process. But one of the things that is unorthodox to do it here now but one of the things that was happening with dennis and much like you see, this son his mind. Its on his mind 24 7. Many times you cant start do the work until you take care of some things and i think this is important for him. Does it make stoins . It makes sense. You cant come in and say i want to treat this problem. You have to treat everything thats been a big trig tour over the years. Do you know what those things are . I dont have a trigger. The only trigger i have is the fact that i need to be a better father. I got a couple of things in my life i need to Pay Attention to. And hopefully people will look at me and say at least im trying. Im not coming here and say great hes here for vacatio. Have you seen dennis working the program while hes in here . Sure. Ive spent hours with him. Spent a lot of time with him. What has to happen to go forward . What has to happen . For this to actually work what has to happen on your side and then i want to hear what the doctor thinks about what you say. Well, you know, people see me in public and the first thing people say we just saw him at a club, we just saw him at a hotel. The first picture youre going to see me he had a drink. That didnt work for dennis. Really . North korea and all this other stuff. For me its going to work. The fact i cant go out there and preach the 12 steps of being sober. I cant do that. Youre not following it. Doesnt matter if i follow them in one through 12 or six to 12. If i can do at least half of that, half the battle is won. If i can do half of that, in my own way if i can do it great. At least ive tried. I tried. Can you not drink . No. Can you not drink . Its like saying can i not drink . You mean water . Can you not i dont need to abuse alcohol. Thats not on my mind. If i dont have anything to do yes i go and smoke my cigars and have a good time. Absolutely. I can say that with a straight face . No. If i have a drink great. Am i relapsing . I dont think so. Im telling the world im trying to do it. Doctor, it rarely works that way. It rarely works that way. One thing i was struck by you know, dennis, we have a lot of science now that tells us many thing but one of the first things i learned when i came to this field are people, places and things. Dennis lives in an environment where he is in clubs, he is sort of on the stage. He was telling me he walks into a bar and before he sits down people bought him ten drinks. Even somebody with the best recovery would be a challenge by that. He has a challenge that way. Can you leave this facility, im talk towing directly, can you go in any facility and then go to a restaurant and know youre a drinker and they say heres ten drinks. Every where you go heres ten drinks. Lets have a shot. Lets have a shot all time. Literally all the time. Dennis its your choice. I know its my choice. Im asking a question. I go to restaurants and bars. You cant drink. I was sober for 19 months. I did it by myself. Thats great. My friends took care of me when i was in bars. Hes not drinking. I have great friends. Great friends around me. And you keep wanting to say guess what, dennis is not following the steps. Im one of the people who wants to see you do your best. Im never going to dive alcohol. Im never going to die of alcohol. Guys, if you want to help me, when i come out please be free to say dennis thank you, youre trying. Do that for me. Doctor, thank you for being part of this process. Dennis, i appreciate the opportunity. Ill talk to you whenever you want. Ill go with you to north korea. But we know you got to watch my back. I got you, brother. All right. Well take a break.

Lets talk about the process Going Forward with jose baez and sunny hostin. A lot of questions here. Its always difficult between the italian legal system and the u. S. Legal system so you guys have been covering this really from the beginning. Lets talk about this. Sony we had amanda knoxs u. S. Attorney on earlier in the show and he said this process is far from over. He said the next step could be a year out when they move forward with this appeal. What do you make of it . That makes sense. The written decision outlining why, you know, she was found guilty again is still unclear. That decision is going to come out in about 90 days. We dont know the reasoning. Theres another 90day opportunity to appeal it. The last appeal took quite a bit of time. Were a year out in terms of appeal. Ultimately i think this is going to turn into an extradition fight. I suspect the Italian Supreme Court is going to affirm this conviction and then the fight begins. The real question is a year from now will the United States agree to extradite her to italy. Jose that begs the question even before the United States posed that question i even wonder i think if it gets to this point do you think italy will ask for extradition. I think they will. They are going through a lot of trouble right now to try these cases with or without her being present so, yes, they are going to extradite her. I disagrees slight iwith sony. Granted the process will take a while but theres nothing stopping them for asking for extradition now. Shes been convicted now. Sure there are appellate processes that need to move forward in italy but that doesnt stop them from moving forward and asking for extradition now. Once that happens that process will take an extensive period of time where it goes from the department of state all the way through the entire extradition process but the key will be for amanda will the court grant her a bond while shes fighting extradition. Because if not she will be detained here in the United States and it could be a long drawn out battle where she will have to do that behind bars. Sonic all along we said its unlikely the state department who step in and extradite an american to italy. I would disagree with jose. No way shes going to be held behind bars. Italy wont extradite her now. Its too premature. I suspect the United States will not hand her over to italy. Lot of this evidence wouldnt have passed constitutional or judicial muster here in the United States and we have that constitutional right of double jeopardy. I mean in the United States the fact that she was convicted, but then reversed on appeal and acquit and sent home means this should have been over for her. The fact that theres this tension in the law between italy and the United States, i cant imagine that the United States is going say, you know, italy now you got three times to try her over and over and over again and well hand our citizen over to you. Its just not going to happen. I see jose shaking his head. You know im right. Look, someone who is not an attorney, not smart in terms of the italian legal system. Shes went convicted once, overturned once, convicted twice what stops it from them overturning it twice. 90 kpraft additions is for someone to be extradited to stand trial. Shes already stood trial a couple of times. So there is nothing stopping them coming and asking for extradition. I disagree severely with sonny. The arguments sonny is making is for her to fight it through a habeas corpus violation. Whats unique about this case is a lot of the pretrial publicity. Jurors arent sequestered. That the United States might find is a failure of due process for amanda and that would be a unique argument to this specific case. This is an amazing and complex legal drama playing out. We have to be theres a family still suffering. Meredith kerchers family trying to get some closure to what happened to their loved one. This is interesting. I want to continue this conversation. Well wrap it up. Great to see both of you. Happy friday, guys. That does it for new day everyone. Carol costello and newsroom begins right after a quick break.
