Penn was on assignment for Rolling Stone played a role in el chapo being recaptured on friday. We begin tonight with meg oliver reporter its an unassuming back drop for an interview with the most notorious drug kingpin in the world. At the first he has given he has given in decades. The questions come from the cameraman. But they are written by Actor Sean Penn who met el chapo for seven hours last october deep in the jungle, and who convinced chapo to send this tape soon afterwards. During the 17 minute recording, the questioner asked, are you responsible for so many drugs in the world. Guzman says no, that is false. Because the day i dont exist, its not going to decrease in anyway at all. As for drug trafficking, thats false. The interview is a remarkable twist in an already convoluted tale. It was just two days ago mexican authorities raided this Seaside Hotel and arrested chapo after a long gun fight. Cameras, perhaps to soften their embarrassment over his escape from altiplano prison last july. The attorney general said it was actors and producers that lead them to the fugitive. Joaquin guzman had the intention of making a biographical film so he reached out to producers. But this article penn wrote for Rolling Stone posted on their website last night, revealed he may have been one of the actors. The other was mexican Actress Kate Del Castillo who had tweeted support for guzman in the past and who brokered the meeting last october. In the article, penn described the crazy and risky journey he took, two flights, a 90 minute drive and bumpy seven hour ride through the jungle. Finally he is right beside the truck, the worlds most famous fugitive el chapo. During their conversation penn says guzman proudly acknowledged his business saying i supply more heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana than penn writes he was sure he was being trapped by the government and says just hours after their meeting Law Enforcement raided the hideout and guzman had to flee. He agreed to tape an interview later if penn sent questions by blackberry. In the tape sent back to penn, guzman defends his work saying where i grew up, there was no other way, and there still isnt a way to survive. No other way to work in our economy, to be able to make a living. The interpreter also asked, are you prone to violence or do you use it as a last resort. Guzman responds, look, all right, i defend myself, nothing more. Do i start trouble . Never. Mexican authorities would, of course, disagree. It is believed guzman is responsible for more than 30,000 deaths. Now theyre working on starting the extradition process, and say they havent taken a position on sean penn. Jeff . Glor meg oliver, thank you. All right, lets bring in cbs news legal analyst rikki klieman. Rikki, good to see you. Sean penn is obviously facing a guy who has met with individuals or states who were hostile to the u. S. Before, hugo chavez, raul castro in cuba years ago, went to iran a decade ago. He faces that public ridicule, he is unlikely to face legal repercussions, why is that . Not only unlikely, he is not going to face legal repercussions. And the reason is really simple. We may believe in a moral code that says if you see something, say something. But thats not a duty imposed by law. There is no duty for sean penn to have to inform authorities when he is going to go meet even with someone who is wanted by the law. If it were a reporter who got this interview, who got to go on a plane and even was blind folded which penn was not, and in the dead of night, and got to get this interview, that reporter would have no duty to have to tell the authorities either. Glor all right, now lets talk about joaquin guzman. Before, mexico resisted, did not want to send him back to the u. S they seem more amenable to that now. Why is that and how might that play out . They are more amenable now probably because they are embarrassed about his escapes, and that is plural, that have happened in the past. And that it appears they wanted to try him to prove in mexico that they could keep him, but they werent able to keep him recently. So now it seems from everything we get to hear, that mexico is more amenable to having him extradited to the United States. The United States wants him badly. An extradition is a long process. It may take six months or more. He has good lawyers, or i assume he does, the best that money can buy. And those lawyers are going to fight extradition. But he will be here, he will be tried. Glor he faces charges in seven states, charges ranging from. Seven federal jurisdictions. So its all under the federal umbrella, they are all through these charges show what this cartel was up to. They were bringing into the United States drugs in the most remarkable numbers. We have heroin, we have cocaine, we have marijuana, we have methamphetamines, but they came in by boats an planes and trains and submersibles. What you have here is one of the largest operations of Drug Distribution that has ever come into this country. What else . Money laundering. Kidnapping, violence. This is probably the greatest defendant in terms of public enemy number one, that people who are involved in the Drug Enforcement administration and the department of justice have ever seen. They want him, and they want him badly. Glor they may get him in a few months at least. Rikki, thanks very much. The Record Powerball jackpot is now estimated 1. 3 billion after nobody won last nights drawing. As Jericka Duncan report, tens of millions are keeping their tonights jackpot has climbed up to a recordbreaking estimated 949. 8 million dollars. I hope you have your powerball tickets within now that the jackpot soar to a billion dollars, even those who rarely play are taking a shot. You never played the lottery before. Maybe once or twice, but not usually. Reporter you got 20 tickets, are those all for you . All for me, yes, yes, absolutely. Reporter but you know the odds are really slim. I know they are huge. If i buy one, the odds arent as good, if i buy ten, maybe i will have nine more chances. Reporter lottery Officials Say the jackpot is the worlds largest. An amount with so many digits, billboards across the country cant handle the figure. Demand for tickets was so high for last nights drawing, stores reported that some machines ran out of paper to print the tickets. Someone purchased 1,160 at one time. One time. Reporter Convenience Store manager alex sharhan says they havent had that problem yet. We have extra. Yes, monday. Reporter the pot started at 40 million on november 4th. And has since rolled over 20 times. The month prior lottery organizers announced a redesign, making the odds tougher for the big jackpot. But saturdays drawing did create 28 new millionaires with smaller prizes. The next big drawing will be wednesday night. A one time payout would amount to around 806 million.

On the republican side donald trump and ted cruz are running close in iowa. More now from Julianna Goldman in washington. Trump said even if he loses iowa, he wont drop out. Theres no im not leaving. Im going all the way. Reporter that prospect has Party Leaders and even some voters grappling with a scenario where no establishment candidate emerges as a trump alternative. I do not believe that trump would put a good face on the Republican Party as president. So you would be prepared to see Hillary Clinton in the white house. Unfortunately. Have i never heard that before. That is how much trump has penetrated and how people now think that he has a real shot, a genuine shot at the nomination. Reporter republican pollster frank luntz along with google conducted a focus group of Iowa Republicans friday night. Iowa voters have become so sophisticated that they know that the people that they choose is not necessarily the people who the rest of america chooses. They think theyre going to choose cruz. But theyre starting to think that the rest of america may choose trump. Reporter according to the most recent poll of likely iowa caucus goers, cruz and trump are virtually tied with rubio a in new hampshire, trump has a commanding lead and the fight for second and third is playing out between rubio, chris christie, cruz, jeb bush and john kasich. On face the nation, House Speaker paul ryan said he would support trump or cruz if one of them is the nominee and predicted republicans would eventually coalesce around the partys pick. I think primaries inevitably have this kind of friction. But once you get through the primary, i think we unify as a conservative movement. Reporter there were some potentially concerning numbers in the polls for Hillary Clinton. They show she beats trump in iowa and new hampshire, but sanders does much better against the republican front runner. And jeff, ted cruz leads clinton in both states while sanders still beats the texas senator. Glor okay, Julianna Goldman. A tornado hit cape coral, florida, last night.
