The Senate Judiciary chairman says ford must decide by 10 00 a. M. Eastern tomorrow morning if shell testify about her Sexual Assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Ford wants the fbi to investigate her claim before testifying. Her lawyer last night accused Senate Republicans of running, quote, not a fair or good faith investigation. Pris words, hard to imagine. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill, talking to senators on both sides of this simmering debate. It seems to be boiling over. Good morning to you. It sure is. In fact, i can tell you that letter from fords lawyers did not sway Senate Republicans. They say she can testify in public. She can testify in public. Theyll even send staffers to interview her in california. The one thing they are not willing to do is bring in the fbi. They say the senate can investigate and already is. Where im focused right now is doing everything that we can to make dr. Ford comfortable with coming before our committee. Judiciary chairman gr sentter to democrats last night outlining his plans for an investigation. The Committee Aides he said were reaching out to mark judge and other unnamed alleged witnesses. Democrats, he added, have thus far declined to participate. Republicans say the committee is more than capable of doing this investigation itself. Well, are they doing it . Nobody knows what theyre doing. Reporter democrats want the fbi to reopen kavanaughs background check. Kavanaugh denies the allegations. Such an outstanding man. Very hard for me to imagine that anything happened. Reporter republicans are wary of a timeconsuming unpredictable probe. Wouldnt an fbi investigation shed light on some of these allegationings . I dont have enough information to make that decision. Reporter the fbi investigated anita hills Sexual Harassment allegations against Clarence Thomas nearly 27 years ago. These fbi reports are extremely important. Reporter John Danforth says an independent investigation is key to a fair outcome. The fbi has a responsibility to conduct background investigations.

Dallas mavericks owner mark cuban is apologizing after a sevenmonth probe found rampant harassment in the business side of his nba franchise. Investigators did 215 interviews and one reviewed 106 million documents. It confirmed cases of misconduct going back more than two decades. Cuban now promises to done aate0 million to womens groups rather than pay a smaller fine. Reporter cuban fully cooperated with the information investigation which was prompted by a scathing article in Sports Illustrated earlier this year. While cuban did not engage in inappropriate behavior himself, the report found he presided over a toxic workplace for women. I would rather work 80 hours a week to make 50k and work for myself than have a 75,000 job working for somebody else. Reporter mark cuban, a brash and controlling nba owner. While he was hands on with his basketball team, investigators say cuban was oblivious to problems festering elsewhere in the organization. This is a story about the countless women in the organization who had their ability to work for the mavericks or to work in sports deeply impaired by what happened here. Reporter a 43page report said terdema ussery, ceo for 18 years, forcibly touched and kissed 15 female oem plemployee. Cuban says he was unaware of the allegations. Cuban did know that ticket sales employee chris hyde viewed pornography on his computer and lempt office. Investigators said cuban failed to fire both men immediately. Employees just did not believe that acts of misconduct would be taken seriously or that people would be held accountable. Reporter ussery and snead have previously denied allegation against them but snead did plead guilty to assaulting a domestic partner he says to defuse the situation. On wednesday, cuban apologized to the victim. The pain that people went through, the pain that people shared with me, that this happened, the tears that i saw. It hurts. Reporter chris hyde did not respond to cbs this mornings request for comment. Cuban started cleaning house before the investigation was finished. He hired a female ceo, put women and minorities in senior positions and overhauled workplace policies. Nba commissioner adam silver praised cuban for his response but called the reported findings heartbreaking. California police are trying a unique tactic to catch a dangerous murder suspect. Yesterday, Newport Beach police announced theyre releasing a sixpart podcast centered on Peter Chadwick. The wealthy businessman is charged with murdering his wife of 21 years, then running away. Police are offering a reward of up to 100,000. Tony dokoupil is here. Its an unusual step. Police say chadwick had millions of dollars when he vanished and they believe hes still hiding with all that money. Investigators say they have the evidence and they have the witnesses needed to prove their case in court. The only thing they need now, of course, that suspect. You can run, but you cant hide much longer so do yourself a favor, mr. Chadwick, and turn yourself in. Reporter authorities first noticed Peter Chadwick was missing in january 2015 when he failed to appear in court on murder charges. Officials say the father of three strangled his wife quee in their Newport Beach home in october 2012 before placing her body in a trash dumpster in san diego county. The case is now the subject of a podcast from the Newport BeachPolice Department called countdown to capture. Suddenly, the otherwise pristine master bathroom looks like a crime scene. Reporter episode one details what police found when they entered the home after the couple failed to pick up their children from school. On the side of the tub, theres shards of broken glass. The family safe is open and empty. Reporter investigators say these grainy images from Surveillance Videos show chadwick at the Santa Barbara airport where he reportedly changed clothes before leaving in a cab. Authorities had confiscated his passports but discovered hed been reading books about living off the grid and he withdrew millions of dollars from bank accounts. He does have money. So hes able to do some things that other fugitives cant as far as false i. D. And things like that. Reporter while chadwick has evaded detectives so far, police hope renewed interest in true crime podcasts will be the key to tracking him down. Its not a matter of if we catch him, its a matter of when. Chadwick pled not guilty at his arraignment. Hes now on the 15 most wanted list compiled by the sheriff. Police want his podcast to be on the most downloaded list. His attorney tells cbs news he does not believe its appropriate for him, the attorney or the prosecution to comment on a pending case. Seems like a different version of americas most wanted. Enforcent officials said inotitrk yll so police producing their own podcast.

The trial of the attackers charged with killing a Young American in greece is all set to begin tomorrow. Only on cbs this morning the parents of Bakari Henderson are speaking out. A mob chased down their 22yearold son last year while he was on vacation in the summer and beat him to death on the greek island of zakynthos. Six could face a life sentence if convicted of voluntary manslaughter. Three others face lesser charges. Cbs this morning cohost Michelle Miller spoke with hendehen hendersons parents as they prepare to face it. Tragic on so many different levels. Good morning, everyone. The brutal beating of Bakari Henderson was captured on video and prosecutors are said to be confident they have a strong case, but cbs news has learned an important witness likely wont be in court to testify. We spoke with bakaris parents about how theyre feeling as they set out to attend the trial bill and Jill Henderson kept a positive outlook this week as they began their journey for justice. What does justice look like for you and your family . Justice for me and my family will be that the guys who did this will definitely get the max sentence for what theyve done to this family. Reporter Surveillance Video shows what the defendants allegedly did to their son bakari in greece, chasing him down the street, knocking him off his feet and beating him to death. His face was bruised and swollen to the point where we put sunglasses on him when we buried him. A serbian woman told investigators it started when she posed for a selfie with bakari. She claimed a man nearby said, quote, there are a lot of serbs in the bar. Why are you talking to a black guy . Security footage shows a man struck bakari in the face and moments later bakari hit back and others got involved as the scuffle moved outside. Video from another, ra which has not been seen publicly until now shows bakari backing up, kicking one of his attackers and walking away before another man began throwing bar stools at him. According to a court filing, a witness claimed bakari was verbally provoking the attackers shouting come here. Come. What does that tell you . Does it tell you anything . Does it even matter . In my mind words dont kill people, so, yeah, thats not justification to kill anyone. The court has called Phil Henderson to testify about his son who only weeks before the attack had graduated from the university of arizona with a degree in Business Finance and entrepreneurship. Bakari was in greece last year on a photo shoot for a clothing line he was launching. Three friends who were with him have also been summoned to testify, but multiple sources tell cbs news one of those friends is unlikely to show up. We know from speaking to the family that hes been having a hard time. Yeah. I think hes fearful. Fearful in what way . Probably just based on, you know, what he saw happen to bakari and to know that you have to testify against those same individuals. I think its causing him some fear. Neither the friend nor his family responded to messages from cbs news. We need that witness. The hendersons lawyer earl ward says the video gives prosecutors a strong case, but firsthand accounts would add invaluable context. Hes an eyewitness to the vicious assault on bakari. He saw what happened to this young man, and so hes necessary. I see you guys have your passports ready to go. Yeah, we do. Jill and Phil Henderson have waited 14 months for this trip, but even now they say it still feels unreal. Do you imagine looking at those mens faces while you sit in court . I havent gone there yet truthfully, so how about you, phil. Have you gone there . Yes, and its going to be hard. Its going to be very hard. All of the defendants have the been or have denied the charges. Their fate will be determined by a panel of three judges and four citizens in the greek city of petras. Two of the nine defendants were released before trial and are believed to have returned to serbia. Cbs news has learned they wont be coming back for trial and will instead be tried in absentia. The hendersons believe race had a role in his death. I have enormous sympathy. Im just glad there is a trial in a foreign country whether there would be a trial for his sons death. Hes 22 years old and hes 65, and i talked to the family, too, he died in 20 seconds. 22 years of life and you die in less than 30 seconds. I dont care how many times you look at those pictures. Theyre so upsetting. The video is condemning. You see that crowd and you say, whoa . Michelle miller, thanks.

An investigation by the Canadian Broadcast Corporation and the toronto star claims the Box Office Giant is helping scalpers buy tickets and resell them with sec program. Vladim Vladimir Duthier is here with more from one of the reporters who went under cover in the investigation. Good morning. Good morning. No federal law against ticket scalping and ticketmaster has publicly opposed the practice in the past. Privately, it may be turning a blind eye and making a profit. Wearing hidden cameras journalists from the toronto star and cbc went to a conference in las vegas in july. Thats where they found ticketmaster representative pitching a program used by ticket scalpers. Its extremely small and just a few tickets and they become pretty good partners for me. Doing half a million or whatever. Half a Million Dollars . Or half a million tickets . In sales. Dave seglins is one of the reporters who went under cover. They have trade desk which is an Online System designed for professional scalpers and helps manage large inventories. Heres how it works, scalpers set up fake accounts since the website limits how many tickets one person can buy. The scalpers sell those tickets at inflated prices on trade desk. How will ticketmaster will be policing us using multiple accounts. No. I have a gentleman who has over 200 ticketmaster accounts. Ticketmaster makes a fee. For example, cbc analyzed ticket sales for a bruno mars concert and calculated that ticketmaster can make up to 658,000 in fees, half of that coming from scalped tickets. Im hoping from an investigation like this we are really bringing transparency so that people can look at this and ask whether this is right, moral, ethical, legal. In a statement to the toronto star and cbc, ticketmaster says in part that it offers a safe and fair place for fans to shop, buy and sell tickets and that it operates at marketplace more transparently and securely than any other. Ticketmaster and its Parent Company live nation have not returned our own requests for comment. Norra . Thank you. Ive never bought a particularet from a scalper. People are upset about ticket prices already and this is not going help. It is so hard to get tickets as it is to concerts in demand and to trust who youre buying from.

Suspect. They set 10 00 a. M. As the deadline for ford to respond to his request. Kavanaugh has categorically denied the allegations genl him and one of his mostardened defenders is kavanaugh who released a letter that 65 women attested to his integrity. What 16yearold boy knows 65 women . Im 54 and i know like five. Announcer this mornings eye opener at 8 00 is presented by Liberty Mutual insurance. He raises some interesestin questions, 65 women in high school. Im gayle king with norah odonnell. We begin with this, a woman accusetion Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh in high school has to decide by tomorrow morning if she will testify before senate committee. Chuck grassley says Christine Blasey ford can tell her story in public or she can tell it in private. He also says judiciary Committee Aides would travel to interview here. Her lawyer said last night that ford believed the full nonpartisan investigation of this matter is need and shes willing to cooperate. But the lawyer said the committees stated plan to move forward with the hearing that only has two witnesses is not a good investigation. President trump could order the fbi to launch an investigation but he says the senate should handle it. The president said yesterday he want to hear from ford. Joining us now is Fran Townsend. She was Homeland Security and advisor to george w. Bush and worked alongside kavanaugh. Fran, good morning. Morning. So what role should the fbi play in this . You know, the fbi, even if you were to reopen the background information, under no circumstances will they take a view on kblt. Its actually part of the regulations the Justice Department regulation, thats not their job. They would interview dr. Ford, interview kavanaugh, they would probably try to interview mark judge, the third person that dr. Ford says was present. But in the end, this is going to come down because its more than its almost 36 years old the allegation, its going to come down to credibility. So in the end the American People are going to the judges of this. Im not sure what happens with this to have the fbi do the interviews. How long does an investigation like that take . Look, if you did order an investigation, we shouldnt worry bay delay, right . You have the three interviews, you moi splai two or three others if theres some allegation that others might have some memory of it. But theres a half dozen interviews to be done, each will have a 302, thats the fbi written report behind it. This is a couple of days in the is not weeks or months. As a former federal prosecutor, would you put a witness on the stand without some type of investigation . You know, gayle, if this was if you were talking about a criminal trial, my view might be different, right, where id want to know in advance because i would have the opportunity to crossexamine witnesses. But i take it back to the anita hill example, right . Thats an example where president george h. W. Bush did reopen the investigation based on her allegations and look at how those 302s were used. They were used it was a brutal, brutal crossexamination of her in public. Im not sure thats something thats a model we really want to follow. When you say 302s, what is that . You said how those 302s were used. Sorry. When the fbi does an interview, they write a report and its called the number of the form they fill out is called a302. Thats what would then be handed over to the Judiciary Committee if the fbi did it. And they would have that as a business sis upon which to question her. Are you saying an fbi investigation might not be helpful to her at this point . Thats exactly right. I dont think its helpful shes asked for she through her lawyer has asked for this fbi investigation, and i think it makes her look political. This is very difficult. Shes come under incredible scrutiny and criticism. I feel for her, its taken real courage for her to step up here. But i think she ought to tell her story. Shes got a story it tell and whether thats publicly or privately, she ought to be given the opportunity to tell that will story. And she ought to want to avoid as much as possible the politics of this. Well thats why she wants to do it to an fbi agent and not Senate Investigators, fran. Well, thats right. But in the end, norah, this is going to be about her telling her story. And to the extent shes telling it to anybody else, whether its a Senate Investigators or the fbi, shes going shes her own best advocate here. If she can get the opportunity to get her story and get it out there, its up to kavanaugh to be able to refute that. Fran townsend, thank you very much. Two South Carolina sheriff easy deputies are on paid leave after two women died in a flood van the deputies were driving. Nick let green and wendy newton were being transported to Mental Health facilities when floodwaters overtook the van tuesday night. In South Carolina, Law Enforcement officials are responsible for taking people to facilities where they are being involuntarily committed. The county sheriff said the deputies tried to free the women but could not get them out of the back of the van. He said theres no sign that the women were in any restraints. The deputies were rescued from the roof of the vehicle. The sheriff said it appears they drove around a barrier blocking the road. There are a lot of Unanswered Questions with that story. Youtube bonham met with the pope to discuss the church. They spoke at the vatican yesterday. The two discussed the public outrage over the way accuse priests were pro pekted. Bono said the pope was agassed about the abuse. You can see the pain in his face and i felt he was sincere and he think hes an extraordinary man for extraordinary times. The pope gave bono an olive tree to symbolize peace. So this is extraordinary and this is what bono does. He is in many way a humanitarian and Bridge Builder and we havent heard the pope really talk openly with anybody about whats going on inside the catholic church. So for bono to give us a little bit of wind did he and maybe address the pope what about whats going on, its important. Wouldnt we have liked to be in that meeting. No kidding.

He tells the boston globe, he had no intention of keeping it. First thing i said, this belongs to the red sox. This is for fenway park. Yeah. How do we have this . Like nobody made this.

The man was hoping to get something in return like tickets or a meet and greet with some of the players. The team says he got nothing. The reason why he got nothing the original story is they were holding the banner hostage until the red sox offered them something. I think if they just returned it out right, they might have said, here, thank you very much, guys. Come to the game. I hope it gets to fly in the park on the monster. Much more news ahead.

One year ago today, if you can believe that, Hurricane Maria slammed in puerto rico with sustained winds of 155 miles per hour. A recent stud i can from George Washington university estimates nearly 3,000 people died from the hurricane. President trump believes the death toll sin flated, though, and later today there will be a ceremony to commemorate the storms anniversary. David begnaud was in puerto rico when the deadly category four hurricane made landfall. Reporter the winds are ferocious right now. Well, for the past year caved has been follow the Recovery Efforts and recent return to the island for a documentary about the disaster. Good morning. I know we say can we believe its a year, i bet you can believe its a year. Its a somber day i remember so wellbeing in front of that hotel a year ago. Good morning. Our team started work thong documentary some time around the spring. It was driven by the fact that after all the reporting we had done one to two minutes on television, it just didnteem like enough to convey how bad things really were. We saw an unbelievable struggle and a determination to be heard. Puerto rico is a commonwealth of the United States, so its residents are american citizens. Now can relocate without any restrictions. Its estimated that nearly half of the people who have left the island so far are under the age of 24. Thats a demographic that is the lifeblood of any labor force. But despite that, we met some residents that believe its still possible for puerto rico to get back on its feet. I like your gray hair. Finally somebody else whos young with gray hair. This group of inspiring Young Professionals and artists believe that right now may be puerto ricos best chance to reshape this island for the better. Someone said to me maria may be the best thing that happened to puerto rico. You know, thats a very bold statement. It shocked me to hear that. I think you think its true . I think its true. We have gotten stronger. If anyone had a doubt, any doubt that Puerto Ricans are struggling on their own, this is a dhaunt hcountry that has beeng for its freedom forever. It unveiled what does it mean to be Puerto Puerto rico is a colony of the United States. So you can separate that. Its part of you were born in a colonized country. Its the fact that youre on your own, the government wont do your work, the country that has colonized your country wont do the work. Would you rather be an independent country . Yes. All of you . Yes. But the u. S. Has already committed i think close to 50 billion, right . So, i mean, its huge. A lot of people contributed money towards puerto rico and its recovery. Wheres the money . Were still without power or portable water for that matter. So that clip shows Puerto Ricans who are saying they dont want to leave the island. But there are a lot of people who are leaving because for them its just too difficult to stay. I have to tell you ive never experienced an endless emergency like the one that maria left lot of the people who are leaving are single parents, moms and dads, and were going to profile a single nom in our story who decided to leave with her daughter with no promise of anything on the mainland. She said i gotta go. I gotta go. Do you have any idea of the numbers of people that left puerto rico . What that number is and what are you hearing of their plan to return . Close to 19,000 did and about 40,000 kids have not reregistered in school. Its dr. To hear them say they feel like theyre on their own and in some cases they would prefer to be on their own. I was surprised because the governor will tell you we support statehood. The voter turnout was near 23 so its hard to say the majority claim that. Ways surprised at this people at the table who said i think i want independence because everything that ive grown up with, im not sure i want the u. S. Im not sure i want to be a part of the u. S. I was surprised. I didnt expect to hear that. Theyre still asking for a bailout from the u. S. Government too and the fair, but remember they pay taxes. Its their money, its not a gift. They pay taxes, its theirs too. Where did those people relocate. Orlando, new york, massachusetts, 38 different states but theres such a large contingent here in florida and new york city. Wed like to see it back to its original glory. Thank you, david. Puerto rico the exodus after Hurricane Maria will stream on cbs. Ahead, how could boost the number of women in board rooms.

Best selling author is now take on a much bigger topic, the entire history of the United States. Its called thee truths. It starts with christopher columbuss voyage, to the civil war, Civil Rights Era and President Trumps election in 2016. And she is with us now. Good morning. Good morning. This is kind of an epic job you took on, but it seems to me we couldnt need it more than we need it now. One of the things i was struck by just in looking at this book is that a lot of us believe were living in very polarized times. But this book shows us, in fact, thats been going on for a long time. It has been going on for a long time. That doesnt relief us of the obligation of why were stuck in this now and how to get ourselves out of it. I really wanted there to be a book like this so i thought i guess ill have to try to write it. Its understandable the day to day news is completely consuming and its covered in such incredible detail, but its worth pulling back and trying to look across the centuries at the origins of these patterns and how people got out of similar jams in the past. Thats one of the reasons i wanted to try to cover the whole sweep of american history, all its contradictions and complexities. The bipartisanship and inability to get along in congress. They were beating each other in the 18 hundreds. They were. And we thought a civil war in which 750 people died, but it was a war of emancipation and to be celebrated as well. I think whats different about our contemporary moment of polarization is that the polarization were experienc political constants people o0s abortions. That right. That was the work done by Political Consultants for a shortterm lets win this election next week. You said the difference is essentially automation. Right. So it was done by hand. This was built manually. But after the opening of the internet in the late 1990s and especially after the rise of social media, that polarization really is now done by automation. Its very difficult to figure it. I think so many people of great good will would like the country to be less polarized. Would like to have conversations across partisan divisions. Even some of the more that nair ferrous of our elected officials i would like to think they would. But its very difficult to do because of the way the internet was opened up and is in a wholly unregulated way. You highlight the female voices that are missing from our history books. Why so important to include them in sort of that story . Yeah. Shocking, youd be shocked to hear that there arent a lot of women you know, womens historians have been writing incredible work for the last helpful century recovering the lives and voices of women. It hasnt made it into the big story we tell about plaques, theres womens history and political history. I wanted to i didnt want a segregated history, i wanted to integrate those stories. If you dont Pay Attention to the womens history in politics, you miss the moral crusade. Women were denied the vote so long that the way that they acted politically was to crusade as it came out of the second great awakening, out of evangelical revival of the 1830s, it brought that further to the ab bowlishist movement, a moral crusade that women and men want, they brought us to the womens rights movement. In the 20th century they brought to the campaign against the eras with i moral cru. Itse werin tonheil whe presidyou sat planned end we rcerion ofacama. But in the middle of that you said i need to change the ending. I need to change the book. Yeah. Its tough because the incarceration of barack obama, its a dramatic, its a great ending. Whoever you voted for, just tahdah, theres been something is involved about the american agony of racial bondage and discrimination, segregation there or seems to be solved that the moment. And its also a little distant in the past and we have some vantage on that election. But when the election happened in 2016, it just seemed to me a dereliction of duty to not cover that election. People who came out to vote for trump, supported him, felt themselves to be part of the political revolution. Its also clearly realigning revolution. I think i think truth matters still, though. Truth matters. And your book points that ute very well. Absolutely matters. Its a struggle. Thank you so much. These truths is on sale now and our series a more Perfect Union aims to show that what unites us as americans is far greater than what divides us. And as schools start we talk about pressures that can lead to anxiety. We, to deuced to one teacher who is working to bring the comfort of home into the classroom. Dana, good morning. Good morning. 32 of adolescents in the United States suffer from anxiety according to National Institute of american health. To help his students, one teacher at the academy in charlotte, North Carolina, had their parents write a special note to their kids to read on an especially hard day. We went down to see how this small gesture is making a big difference. Anyone who remembers middle school knows the difficulty of balancing schoolwork, peer presure, and growing pains. Were kids ever mean . Yeah. So im curious what the connection was between the character. Seventh grade Language Arts teacher asked his students parents to compose handwritten notesettes to help ease those anxieties by bridging the barrier between school and home. This is an activity that hetr a little bit and bring parents into the classroom in a way and show the child that we understand you need support in a lot of different ways. What did you think when you saw this idea of writing a to your child . Note to your child . I thought its a fun idea but then when i saw what my wife and i were putting down on the card and thinking through what impact this could have on my daughter when shes having a bad day, hopefully shed love to hear from us at home. This card says im so happy for you which might seem funny on a day that isnt best. Knowing that he was going to get this card and i was going to have the opportunity to Say Something to him that i probably wouldnt have, it was just special to me. You shine, son, and injury dad and i live you forever. Mom and dad, xoxo. How does that make you feel . Makes me feel very supported. I think its very thoughtful and it really tells me a lot about that teacher and how he sees the kids not just the student, but he sees them as a whole. This schools emphasis on language diversity is reflected in the notes these children received from their parents. This note was written in spanish. Why does that mean so much to you, sweetie . Because she wrote it with love and it says you can always count on me and i have to fight hard for what you want. Why did it matter that it was from their parent and maybe in a different language or calling them by a nickname . I knew at that moment when they needed a boost that theyd be able to hear it in their parents voice and that it woul telling them what they needed to hear. No matter what happens today i will always there and waiting for you. My hug is waiting for you when you get home. How does that make you feel . I almost cried. Voices, but also their parents writing in this email society its a handwritten note. He says hes received support from all over the country since doing this. Teachers from as far away actually in the world of india and australia said they were inspired to do the same in their classrooms. Gayle. Its a lovely idea. Make it a movement. Nothing means more to a child than to know your parents are proud of you and viceversa. And to put it in writing, very powerful thing. Thank you, dana. We love that story. The star of the hit cbs drama Michael Weatherly, they is. Hello, Michael Weatherly. We love when he comes. Ahead of the shows season 3 premier. But first at 8 40, time to check Michael Weatherly stars in the cbs drama bull. He plays bull, dr. Jason bull, who runs a Consulting Firm who that use psychology to pick the perfect jury. So in the season three premier he returns to work after suffering a heart attack and hes taking on a new case. Youd raeth be representing the woman who through no fault of her own lost her liver and is most certainly going to lose her life. You want to go home at night, feel good about yourself, plus its kinda a slam dunk. Its not hard to find a jury, let alone mount a case against a big, bad Insurance Company. Of course, one problem with that. She didnt hire us. The big, bad Insurance Company did and this is a business, not a charity. Ooh, Michael Weatherly joins us at the table because we should say youre team heartless. Heartless is right. Your team was not happy that you took this case and people are wondering after the heart attack on steps, is jason bull going to be a kinder, gent lettler perso . It looks like no, he aint spli think he has dealt, as any of us who are confronted with a lifechanging event, like a myocardial event on the steps of the courthouse, you are given this moment to look at everything. In our show, bull has gone and spent three months getting his health together, but also getting his mental landscape more mapped out. And i think what hes found is that hes going to White Knuckle it. Hes going to White Knuckle being off sugar and alcohol and whatever things that he coffee. And its no easy feat. Your show runner said that the idea for the heart attack in part was inspired by what you went through at the end of the first season. I did not have an actual heart attack, but i had been flying back and forth and we did a short break and did press the whole time. When i came back for season 2 people were coming up to me and going are you okay . You look terrible. You know, temperatures all. Really good to hear. Wow, thanks. Is that makeup in and im not wearing any makeup. Yes, this is its the walking dead makeup. Im a zombie. But you lost 20 pounds in between the season. I found five of them, which was nice. Look. Michael, you lost 20 no surgery. And no. In a short period of time. There was no cool skulling, nothing like that. Gastric bypass. How did you do that . I went to i had every day a schedule and at first i would work out in the morning and then sort doff fun stuff in the afternoon. I realized wrong. Because by Late Afternoon im like, lets just have a glass of chardonnay. Swoi build my workouts at the end of the day so by the time 5 30 rolls around youve got to put the kids in the badge. Did you think you had a weight problem . I think bull just got bigger. We sort of rode that wave, which whaent a wasnt all bad. And there was a time change coming.
