former vice presidential candidate sarah palin endorsed him yesterday in iowa. the "new york post" quickly dubbed them "ladies and the trump." >> they will campaign together today in iowa and oklahoma. major garrett is in washington and looks at palin's decision to back trump while turning her back on former ally ted cruz. >> cruz needed palin in 2012 when he ran for the senate and would have loved to have her support now. trump has always been bigger than palin as a political nonconformist and reality tv star and now the resilient gop front-runner. >> no more pussy-footing around! >> reporter: sarah palin's endorsement brings energy to trump's campaign in iowa and de deprives his closest rival ted cruz.

in part the tea party movement she helped inspired has matured and moved on. at trump's side she proved capable of amplifying some familiar themes. >> are you ready for a commander in chief who will let our warriors do their job and kick is sis as? >> nor claims he is a phony conservative. >> well, trump and his -- uh, his trumpers are not conservative enough. my goodness gracious. what the heck would the establishment know about conservatism. >> reporter: palin endorsed trump for the senate in 2012. before last night events he took the blow in stride. >> sarah palin is fantastic. without her friendship and support i wouldn't be in the senate today, so regardless of what sarah decides to do in 2016 i will always remain a big fan

>> reporter: cruz also fended off attacks from another republican, long time iowa governor terry branstad. >> i think it would be a big mistake for iowa to support him. >> it is no surprise that the establishment is in full panic mode. >> reporter: cruz dismissed branstad as part of the problem. >> the washington cartel live on cronyism and it lives on making deals. >> reporter: cruz retained superior organizational strength in iowa and as the caucuses approach that strength is likely to prove as important, possibly more important than any one endorsement. in a moment out of his apprentice past, trump told his iowa director yesterday, "you better win, or you're fired." charlie? >> thanks, major. >> yes. republican strategist rick davis is with us. he was john mccain's manager in 2008. the senator became a republican nominee and chose sarah palin as his running mate.

what does this do to ted cruz? >> i think it's a battle for sort of a dwindling carson vote. i think we have seen koors becarson city number one in iowa and now slip to maybe three and maybe four. i think the percentage he is sitting on, both trump and cruz look at that like a dog salivating over a good, meaty bone. they want the people coming off carson on to their ballot and that is why the focus on evangelicals. i think what we saw yesterday between the visits to the liberty university and jerry falwell the nice things he said about donald trump to the sarah palin announcement was a real targeted effort to seek the evangelicals without having to talk the talk, he is walking the walk. >> is there a downside for him in sarah palin endorsing him? >> not in iowa. i think everyone else in the country people are scratching their heads when they wake up saying what is he thinking?

can win iowa he has a shot at sweeping the whole -- >> running the table? >> running the table. >> do you think that this ends up being a contested battle at the convention? >> yeah. . i honestly spent a lot of time looking at the delgsegates and who is positioned in these republican states. three are battling is out right now. the sort of outsider segment landed on donald trump and really happy with what they have got and about a third of the vote. then a third of the vote on movement conservatives. they sit squarely in there with ted cruz and they are not going anywhere right now. they are very loyal to cruz. then there is the establishment. that is another third to a little bit more. they are spread over five or six candidates. and so as that consolidates, and it probably will the first three or four states, you have three trains running down the track and if they continue to win at 30/30/30, i don't know how you

one person, you know, with the necessary delegates to be the presumive nominee. >> not a good day for iowa. the governor came out against him and the headlines are with donald trump and sarah palin. >> you lose and win every day at a campaign in this stage down to the wire. a big win day for trump and big losing day for cruz. >> if trump pulls off iowa and new hampshire there and south carolina, it could be moving towards the nomination. >> well, in the old schedule, that was the case, right? because nothing stopped you. >> right. >> this time, there is a two-week period of time right after south carolina where it's all proportional primaries and everyone sort of gets spread out throughout the south and southeast. what happens is nobody really wins or lose ons. you just collect delegations. >> right. >> it is an opportunity to reset the race and if there is a juggernaut juggernaut, i think you see people saying, wow, especially

have to have someone win florida the 15th of march and next big winner take all state and they rally around either a rubio or a christie or a bush and say, we got to stop the trump movement. >> it's interesting to watch every single day. >> every day. >> we thank you for coming in today. >> thank you. the latest poll in new hampshire finds the democratic primary there is turning into no contest at all. bernie sanders leads hillary clinton by 27 points in that survey released yesterday. the first in the nation primaries less than three weeks away. but the vermont senator is trailing clinton in national polls. nancy cordes is covering sanders big surge in new hampshire. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. yes, 60-33 is an enormous lead. a trump-sized lead, you might say. the campaigns like to say they don't pay much attention to the polls but sanders was celebrating those numbers at each of his campaign events in iowa yesterday, saying that they prove he is a real contender. >> if you run into people and

for, but i think he can't win, please tell them that is really not the case. >> reporter: the clinton campaign shot back in a statement saying, senator sanders is trying to make a case on elect ability based on meaningless polls. and they said sanders is gaining because republican groups are talking him up, tweeting about him because they would rather run against him than against clinton. naturally, ted cruz did say last night, he was asked about this, he would prefer to go up against sanders this clinton because he thinks a socialist would be easiest to beat. clinton, you'll recall, won in new hampshire in 2008 but wasn't going up against an opponent next door back then. sanders is from neighboring vermont and historically candidates from bordering states almost always win in new hampshire. >> thank you, nancy. breaking news. a terror attack on a university in pakistan. at least 20 people are dead.

and staff early today on the attacking students and staff members in classrooms and also a dormitory. witnesses reported heard gunfire and explosions coming from the campus. a pakistani military spokesman said people were killed after they moved in. wounded are carried to the hospital. this university is in a loyalist region of pakistan a long haven for militants. it will bring back memories on a

area in 2014 who is behind today's attack. >> holly williams reporting, thanks. health officials in this country reporting new cases of a mosquito-born virus linked to birth defects. this morning, florida has three cases of the zika virus. yesterday, two women tested positive there and texas and hawaii confirmed cases, including a baby born with a birth defect. elaine keyis here with more. >> reporter: a travel alert over the virus warning pregnant women to avoid the most popular american vacation destinations. in the handful of confirmed cases in the u.s., those country and tested positive once they got home. zika virus is transmitted by a mosquito and determined women can pass the virus to their babies causing birth defects.

if you have symptoms, if you're pregnant, get tested for an infection. all of the zika cases in the u.s. involve foreign traveling. a florida victim traveled to colombia. a baby was born with birth defects in hawaii after his mother made a trip to brazil. a texas man was diagnosed after he returned from el salvador in november. >> the two cases cases we have in illinois are in individuals who traveled and came back and were diagnosed. because the mosquito that transmits it is not one we have in illinois we believe the risk to illinoisans is basically zero. >> reporter: cases in latin america and the caribbean and advising pregnant women to avoid travel.

women to wait to hold off until they -- to get the virus under control. there is no vaccine and no course of treatment for the zika virus. a british biotech firm is trying to fight the virus by genetically modifying the insect. >> michigan's governor vows to do whatever it takes to end the water problem. he says he would released his 2014 and 2015 e-mails showing when he knew about the lead contamination in flint, michigan. hundreds of protesters outside the statehouse called on snyder to resign. adriana diaz is in flint where the governor is employing more than a hundred additional national guard members. good morning, adriana. >> reporter: good morning. during his speech last night, governor snyder said that no one

federal, epa didn't address the problem when he knew about it last year. before protesting at the statehouse, this couple showed us their corroded pipes. >> it's almost like we are in a third world country. we have filters that don't work. i don't care what they say, people, these filters, they do not work. >> reporter: governor snyder is now the target of several class action lawsuits. the latest filed tuesday aims to stop flint from all water shutoffs for people who haven't paid their bills. this lady helped identify flint's spiking lead levels. >> there is no safe level of lead in a child, none. it is irreversible potence neurotoxins. >> reporter: lead poisoning in children can cause the following. >> it was highly preventable. these kids did nothing wrong. it wasn't their fault their city was almost bankrupt and this was

we need to get better at this. >> plenty of opportunities to celebrate actors of color, actresses of color. to miss last year is one thing but for that to happen again this year, is unforgivable. >> when you're dealing with a movie that cost a hundred million or more, you don't want to take chances. it's more based on what worked last year and what worked five years ago, let's do it again this year. and so you're seeing that lack of imagination, which also means lack of diversity. >> this has not been a plethora of black movies made because people believe we don't want to see movies with black people in them. >> reporter: whoopi goldberg, an actor and producer, said production companies should lead the charge. >> this happens every year, so there are more movies made with people of color so that people -- >> how -- >> you get the people who have the production companies to hire.

for them. and him. a choice to take brilinta. a prescription for people who've been hospitalized for a heart attack. i take brilinta with a baby aspirin ...no more than 100 mg. as it affects how well it works. it's such an important thing to do to help protect against another heart attack. brilinta worked better than plavix. and even reduced the chances of dying from another one. don't stop taking brilinta without talking to doctor. since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers. a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery and all medicines you take. i will take brilinta today. tomorrow. and every day for as long as my doctor tells me. don't miss a day of brilinta.

[ chuckles ] wait. uh-oh. ibs-d. you know the symptoms when they start. abdominal pain. urgent diarrhea. now there's prescription xifaxan. xifaxan is a new ibs-d treatment that helps relieve your diarrhea and abdominal pain symptoms. and xifaxan works differently. it's a prescription antibiotic that acts mainly in the digestive tract. do not use xifaxan if you have a history of sensitivity to rifaximin, rifamycin antibiotic agents, or any components of xifaxan. tell your doctor right away if your diarrhea worsens while taking xifaxan, as this may be

tell your doctor if you have liver disease or are taking other medications, because these may increase the amount of xifaxan in your body. tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan on becoming pregnant, or are nursing. the most common side effects are nausea and an increase in liver enzymes. if you think you have ibs with diarrhea, talk to your doctor about new xifaxan. look close, werther's is making sugar free caramels, classic hard and deliciously chewy. that are so smooth, rich and creamy you won't believe they're sugar free.

george: my family's lived on this farm for three generations. the bakken pipeline would pump dirty crude oil across iowa. patti: the fact that bernie sanders stands up against the pipeline is one of the reasons we support him. george: bernie sanders didn't hesitate to say no to the big oil companies. patti: bernie knows that if we don't act, we threaten the climate and the health of our children. bernie sanders understands that. patti: bernie sanders has the guts to just stand up for what he believes in. sanders: i'm bernie sanders and i approve this message. good morning. roads are a little slippery this morning after 1-3" of snow fell yesterday, plus there are a few flurries lingering early today. the weather will be quiet this afternoon with highs near 26. more flurries or light snow will fall in western iowa tomorrow

or less expected. warmer temps are on the way for the weekend with off and on snow chances next week. she's always stood strong... ...to get the job done. hillary clinton. she stood up to china... ...and spoke out on women's rights... ...went toe to toe with russia on human rights. the drug and insurance companies spent millions against her... ...but hillary didn't quit until eight million children got health care. i've never been called a quitter and i won't quit on you. she's got what it takes to do the toughest job in the world.

it is wednesday, january 20th, 2016. welcome back to "cbs this morning." there is more real news ahead, including a plan to revolutionize the college admissions process. but first, here's today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> sarah palin's endorsement takes more from ted cruz than it adds to donald trump. >> are you ready to stump for trump? >> the battle for the carson vote. trump and cruz look at that like a dog salivating over a bone. >> campaigns like to say they don't pay much attention to the polls, but sanders was celebrating those numbers at his campaign events. >> a group of armed men stormed the university attacking

classrooms. >> governor snyder said no one in flint will go without clean water. all of these cases will be gone by midday. >> it's a piece of energy and it has a lot of real estate to travel over, a lot of things it will encounter as it pushes to the east. >> george clooney and whoopi goldberg echo the sentiments that there is a lack of recognition on one of hollywood's biggest nights. >> once you got your car, you did a lot of parking. >> you didi did a lot of parking, what do you mean? >> it gave you freedom to go somewhere with someone that you cared about to be on your own. >> oh. >> am i right or wrong? >> you're wrong. >> okay. you're a late starter. >> i was. >> i was precocious. >> this morning's "eye opener" at 8:00 is presented by liberty mutual insurance. i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell.

president will take place one year from today. republican hopeful donald trump said if he wins the white house, there will be a place for sarah palin in his administration. the former vice presidential nominee will campaign with trump today in iowa and oklahoma. her endorsement of the billionaire is seen as a letdown for ted cruz. he is battling with trump for the anti-establishment vote. in iowa tuesday palin slammed the republican elite for not supporting trump. >> they're attacking their own front-runner. now, would the dnc ever come after their front-runner and her supporters? no, because they don't eat their own. they can't afford to see the status quo go, otherwise they won't be available to be slurping off the gravy train that's been feeding them all these years. now they're concerned about this ideological purity? give me a break.

wingin', bitter clinging, gunslingers. tell us that we're not red enough? yeah, coming from the establishment, right. >> now, you may remember that ted cruz won a senate seat in 2012 with sarah palin's support. he says he will always be a fan of hers no matter who she endorses. campaigning in new hampshire, cruz kept pushing his anti-establishment message. >> conservatives are uniting behind our campaign and we will see, like the empire strikes back, the establishment will strike back because they don't want an end to the cronyism and the gravy train from washington. >> a recent poll found that 52% of likely republican voters in iowa prefer an anti-establishment candidate and another poll in iowa found that 57% feel betrayed by republican party politicians. a new poll of democrats is adding to the drama in the democratic race. it shows bernie sanders with a commanding lead over hillary clinton in new hampshire. the senator from neighboring vermont is ahead by nearly 30 points.

in iowa tuesday sanders said that voter turnout wins elections and his campaign will be better able to deliver against republicans. >> any objective look at our campaign and the energy and the excitement that it is generating with young people and with working people, compare that to secretary clinton's campaign. will come to the conclusion that if our goal is to have a large voter turnout, we are the campaign that can do that. >> sanders will campaign thursday in new hampshire. clinton will spend just one day there this week and four in iowa. a new report coming out this morning could fundamentally change the college admission process. administrators from top colleges and universities are launching the document can the turn-- "turning the tide." frank bruni looks at the growing concern in his new article and

you go is not who you'll be." we're pleased to have frank bruni back in studio 57. welcome. >> thanks. >> this has been an issue you've written about before. >> yeah. >> so what's going to change in the admissions process from this report? >> well, the report can't command change, but the report is signed off on, endorsed by so many people at top universities that it clearly indicates a desire and an intention to do things differently. i think what's going to happen is you're going to see in bits and pieces over the coming years the admissions process become less slave to the metrics that have been used so far. already you have a lot of schools saying s.a.t., a.c.t. is optional. schools saying they're not going to be as impressed with a huge load of a.p. courses. they're trying to get kids away from script following during high school and encourage more genuine passions in them and figure out a way to judge them by the way they commit to these passions. >> this is a really big deal, i think, because you said it could

padding but also levels the playing field for kids that don't get the opportunity to get the tutors and they'll pay attention to other things like what, frank? >> pay attention to things like civic engagement. one of the things this report goes into at great length is it's telling admissions officers let's stop being impressed simply by the name of a charitable organization the kid has worked for. let's find a way through essays and letters of recommendation to figure out whether that charity work was genuine, heartfelt and sustained or just checking off another box on this is what they want to see in cambridge. >> specifically the report addresses academic pressure and mental health issues. it says many middle and upper income communities, rates of depression, delinquency, substance abuse and anxiety appear to be considerably higher. why is that? >> kids feel they have to nail things in a certain way. as admissions rates have

against each other and they're getting the message, partly from the admissions process but also partly from their parents, they're getting the message if they don't hit a certain marker, get into a certain kind of school, they have failed in life and forevermore will be behind the eight ball. that is so destructive. it's not only that we see those high rates of mental illness of kids in high school but every university is reporting records numbers of kids coming in for treatment for mental health services on campus and that's a bigger and bigger problem. >> but the bottom line is how do you look and make sure that you're not leaving behind some really terrific kids who don't have the privilege that other kids have. >> which is key. the context for this is we're living in a country with yawning income inequality and higher education is asking, very appropriately more than ever, what's our part in social mobility, how do we remedy that. one of the reasons you're seeing schools step away from standardized tests is there's a lot of research that what standardized tests judge more than anything else is family backgrounds incomes. so they're trying to say what

potential and don't just reflect privilege. >> so pay attention to a kid who maybe has to stay home and help the family or has a part-time job and has to help the family and can't be engaged in community service. >> and recognize the character in that kid. and that character will be his key, instead of a load of a.p. courses. >> so how realistic is this, frank, that you think this will actually happen? >> i don't think we'll see an overwhelming sea change in one admission cycle. but when you look at the number of people that have signed off on this, when you look at the news conference today someone from yale will be there, someone from m.i.t., the university of michigan, you are clearly seeing a signal admissions offices will make some changes. i think over the next five years, big changes. >> you also write about a survey of middle and high school students about what they thought was important. >> the author of this report was the person that did this research. they asked kids what matters most, individual achievement,

they were shocked to find only 22% said carriageing for others. and they said that's enclosurely -- we've got to figure out where they're getting -- >> did it have anything to do with background? >> i don't know if they broke it down that way. what they're asking in this new report is to what extent does the college admissions process bring about those values and exacerbate the problem of an excessive focus on individual achievement and where do i rate and what's my status in society. >> very interesting. >> thank you, frank. always good to see you. vice president joe biden lost his son, beau, to cancer and now he's leading the mission to come up with a cure. our dr. david agus will reveal what the vice president told him at the world economic forum good morning. roads are a little slippery this morning after 1-3" of snow fell yesterday, plus there are a few flurries lingering early today. the weather will be quiet this afternoon with highs near 26.

the union bielieve now about the moon shot, having talked to the vice president. >> so when i initially heard it from president obama, i was somewhat skeptical. you know, there is not going be was an allotment of dollars for this and when biden spoke, he said things that were reasonable. we talked about what were the big obstacles blocking kansas city -- cancer. he said this isn't a one-year project for him. this is his post vice presidency product the rest of his life and came from a personal side which i respect. >> a lot of people had a personal story in addition to joe biden and many people on the pam i understand lost a family member to cancer. was this an agreement on the panel, david?

you had a diverse panel. heads of cleveland clinic and sloan-kettering and several other large constitutions and we said what the big impediment we can impraes can address and all of us said making data with the same terms. you call it a broken leg and i call it a fractured leg. we have to get better at sharing data. something as simple as that is reachable. big data is going to give us the answers. we saw just this year, an amazing study that if you had ovarian cancer and on one particular blood pressure

that is the tip of the hopefully, myself but if not me for my children and grandchildren and here is my data. >> would the effort against cancer happen quicker if the federal government spent more money? >> i'm not sure it's a money issue as a collaboration issue. right now, there's so many different effort across the country. one here, one here, one here. if we all started to work together with a leader, i i think we are going to make staggering process. so i think biden stepping up, in a really amazing fashion, and saying this is my passion for

i lost my son to this horrible disease and i got to see firsthand, he said, that the inadequacies of our satisfactory and data doesn't help us. we can't transfer from one doctor to another. how barbaric some treatments are and use that emotion in myself to help others. i think that is powerful and we need it in our state. >> this marks theg to work with me and many other cancer doctors across the country to make a difference.

marco rubio. he ran for senate saying he opposed amnesty... then he flipped, and worked with liberal chuck schumer to co-author the path to citizenship bill. he threatened to vote against it. and then voted for it. he supported his own dream act and then he abandoned it. marco rubio. just another washington politician you can't trust. jeb bush. he's a leader, so you always know where he stands. right to rise usa is responsible for the content of this message. we lost two of them games. i'm trying to get one with of them. try to walk out of here 1-3. this will be my third game here. >> one and two? >> you know what i mean. >> no, i don't! >> no, wait.

one, that means -- >> that's three games! >> yeah. but you said 1-3. >> if we win! >> one four three? >> that's what i meant. >> usc, baby! >> they must be really good friends! that is kyle lowery of the toronto raptors giving his teammate a hard lesson. he hopes to improve his games played in london but his math, he said it was a bit off. >> for more than 40 years mike lupica has covered will every sport and authored 22 sports theme knowledge for young adults. he sold five million copies of his book oip the extra yard" is his newest novel about an eighth grade boy who deals with challenges on and off the field. the book is published by a division of cbs. great to have you here. what happened to the other eight

>> really? >> we have the playoffs. >> yeah. >> we have peyton manning and tom brady. break it down. >> the funny thing is you always hear about brady versus manning. i always thought about it as manning versus bill belichick. they are not guarding each other and not in the low post in basketball. interesting to watch peyton play now and to go to another sport, is like somebody who is a great fastball pitcher in baseball and now throwing melons and cantaloupe. he clearly can't throw the ball and he is getting by on guiel. the only advantage they have on sunday, i think, is that the game is in denver instead of foxborough foxborough. >> how about their defense? >> broncos defense, i believe, has been the most formidable in the sport this year. we saw what happened when brock osweiler was the quarterback against the patriots before and the denver broncos defense beat brady.

the same year. >> you're predicting the patriots? >> i do. only for my own twisted amusement. because the patriots make everybody so crazy, outside of, like, a six-state area in new england. so they are always being accused of something and i just love the fact that it makes most of the country this passionate. >> your twisted amusement is fun to watch. your latest column about the nfl coin toss and you're not a fan because? >> a billion dollar industry, the biggest we have ever had in sports in this country, often comes down to a flip of the coin. you tell me another place in sports -- then they don't use a real coin! >> the question whether it's flipped or not as we had this past weekend. >> all i know is that you can make a case that aaron rodgers might be the best player in football. two years in a row, because of a coin flip, he never gets to touch the ball in overtime. that is a bone-headed system. >> right.

>> in the regular season, charlie, i see why they have to keep the line moving to television. play until the game is resolved. certainly play an extra quarter. where do they have to be? nowhere. >> let's talk about your new book "the extra yard." >> look at the dedication to your agent. >> agent to the stars and me. >> it's about an eighth grader, teddy. what are some of the underlying themes in this book? >> norah, i got into this world because one year i took all of the kids who got cut in my town and started a team of my own and gave them a chance to give back. i didn't know what i was doing. my wife now says in retrospect, honey, you writing inside of the mind of a 12-year-old seems like pretty much a perfect fit! but if you start reading my book, you know i'm going to ask my main character to overcome something. teddy in this book has grown up without a father because of a divorce and his father lives on the other side of the country.

thrilled when his father comes back into his life. it's not that easy. this is a book that kind of tips the whole father/son and sports thing. >> you coached all of your kids? >> i tried not to screw them up but let me tell you something. these books are written in that spirit. there's not a time, norah, when i go by a field or a gym where i coached and wouldn't give up a zillion dollars to have one more friday night or saturday afternoon back. >> who is the audience for your books? >> oh, it starts in middle grade. we go from, like, 8 to 15. and the great thing is once i get them, they stay with me. i was telling gayle before the show today, i'll be out in public now and i'll see somebody who i know is a mom and coming towards me. i know they are not going to want to talk about my dopey newspaper column or tv. they are are going to tell me a story how i got their kids to want to read. then they will say, you probably get tired of hearing that. i said, not at all!

the book in this particular book, you have boys talking to each other. you never see boys talking to each other about their problems and their vulnerabilities. i think that is an important message to send to young boys. >> i have three sons and they were like that. i mean, our dinner table was, you know, sometimes sounded like a counseling session. people would say the kids in your book sound real. i think they ought to because it came out of the back seat of my car, our dinner table, sidelines, and locker rooms. >> do you want your kids to play football? >> man i tell you what, charlie. i would have to think long and hard about that. fortunately, my sons were all pacifists and his uniform never got dirty and my wife never had to wash it. >> bottom line, you have reservations? >> with cognitive difficulties of ex-players, how can you not? >> thank you, mike. >> should we mention the book one more time?

>> it's called "the extra yard" and on sale now. congratulations, mike. he spent nearly 12 hours unconscious and frozen in a snow bank. next, that remarkable recovery that allowed the college student to thank the rescuers who refused to give up on him! there are two democratic visions for regulating wall street. one says it's okay to take millions from big banks and then tell them what to do. my plan -- break up the big banks, close the tax loopholes, and make them pay their fair share. then we can expand health care to all, and provide universal college education. will they like me? no. will they begin to play by the rules if i'm president? you better believe it.

(donkey sound) (elephant sound) there's a big difference between making noise, (tapping sound) and making sense.

(donkey sound) when it comes to social security, we need more than lip service. our next president needs a real plan to keep social security strong. (elephant noise) hey candidates. enough talk. give us a plan. an incredible recovery last february for this boy. penn state student lost consciousness after falling in a snow bank in subzero temperatures. his dad found him nearly 12 hours later. >> he was laying face up like this. he was lifeless. achecked for a heart beat and pulse and nothing. >> the coroner was doing a death investigation. >> medical team performed cpr two hours and hooked him up to a
