for years women have been told it's dangerous to eat during labor, both for them and ththr baby. a new study suggests that may not be true and that food could actually be a good thing. here's contessa brewer. >> reporter: ask moms who've been through labor how they feel about faststg their way through the ordeal. >> it's really impossible, i think, just to feel like ice chips would be enough. >> reporter: for generations the rule was no food or liquid because of the risk of inhaling
2:18 am
especially under general anesthesia. >> good morning. >> reporter: but anesthesia's changed. now typically ananpidural or spinal block. dr. tara sharazian is an obstetrician at nyu langone medical center. >> the rules that have been in place for eating and drinking during labor were intended for practices that have been outdated for generations. >> absolutely. they are practices that do not affect the vast majority of women. >> reporter: a study by the amereran society of anesthesiologists now shows most healthy women would benefit from a light meal during labor. researchers analyzed hundreds of% recent studies and conclude moms in labor need the same kind of energy and calories as marathon runners. when they don't get it, their bodies turn to fat f f energy. that can reduce contractions, leading to lononr labor and lower health scores in newborns. >> in low-risk women some
2:19 am
drinking and mild fluids, light meal is okay. >> reporter: the revised advice should mean most moms come out of the delivery room feeling only pangs of lolo, not hunger. >> of course maybe not a french meal. not a three-course meal. but yeah. yeah. it's physical effort, right? >> reporter: well, not every obstetrician will be quick to change protocols, but exexrts say it should allow for a conversation before the baby's due date about each woman's particular situation, health and risk factors for eating and drinking at the hospital. >> all right, contessa, thanks very much.h.

2:21 am
deductibles, right? the amount of money out of pocket before our insurae kicks in. that's about $1,100 for single coverage. it's up 67% in five years. >> why is all this happening? >> you know, it's a combination of factors. we know that the prices for drugs and medical devices and in-hospital stays has really en soaring. we add to that the demographics. we know we've got more people who are over the age of 60, we're living longer, and in fact obesity, we're getting fatter, that's adding to the problem. >> the question a lot of people ask is how does the affordable care act or obamacare play into all this? >> you know, unfortunately, although obamacare actually enrolled millions of people it didn't do a lot to contain costs. i know that's a bit of a head d scratcher for people. but it really didn't. prices are all over the place. we saw a nationwide study for mammograms. anywhere from $43 to almost $1,900 for the same test. we also know that the price of a hepatitis c drug for a 12-week course is over $80,000.
2:22 am
if you've got a rare disease, that can be up to half a million dollars. more people are enrolled in the health care plans. we just haven't done enough to contain those costs yet. >> jill, t tnks very much. thank you. the chinese artist ai weiwei is feuding with the lego company. in an instagram post he says the company wouldn't sell to him because it "cacaot approve the use of legos for political works." a new lego theme park is in the works in shanghai. weiwei placed some legos in the toilet i iprotest. still ahead, unmasking emotions.

2:27 am
gift than $20. >> a lifetime direction. >> reporter: the line climbs back up. >> you see the emotional journey. >> reporter: el kaliouby is working to expand the use of the app in the mental health field for depression and to bring emotional interactivity to you every day, like this robot that comes to you when you smile and runs when you frown. >> we envision a world where all our devices have an emotion chip. could be things like your car or your fridge or your r rror. thth're all emotion aware and they can sense and adapt to your emotions in real time. >> your car would know if you're about to get road ge. >> yeah. exactly. >> but there's a little bit of a creepy factor. are we losing privacy with this kind of technology? the fact that all of our contraptions will know how we're feeling. >> emotions are very personal. i do recognize that there are going to be ababes of this technology. but i really do believe, you know, the good that can come out of this technology kind of
2:28 am
outweighs the potential for abuse. >> reporter: something to ponder as we face the future. don dahler, cbs news, waltham, massachusetts. that is the "overnight news" for this monday. for some of you the news continues. for others check back with us a little later for the morning news and "cbs this morning." from the broadcast center inew york city, i'm jeff glor. >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." welcome to the "overnight mews," everyone. i'm jeff glor. joe biden said wednesday he would not run for president. so why and what's next? the vice president and his wife sat down with norah o'donnell. >> if i thought we could have put together the campaign that our supporters deserved and our contributors deserved, i would have gone ahead and done it. >> but why did it take you to tuesday to figure that out?
2:29 am
us to decide as a family -- look, dealing with the loss of beau, any parent listening who's lost a child knows you that can't -- it doesn't follow schedules or primaries or caucuses and contributors and the like. it just -- and everybody grieves at a diffefent pace. >> and we had such hopes that he was going to live. and so i think it really wasn't until the day he died that we gave -- well, i don't think we ever gave upupope. >> reporter: the bidens lost their son beau in may at age 46 to brain cancer. the vice president told us that duringngis illness and whilele grieving he put his plans to run for president on hold. >> what was the single most important thing ineciding not to run? >> i said from the beginning that i don'tnow whether our ability to deal with the loss of beau would reach a point whehe
2:30 am
out. and it was nothing we could control. >> were you disappointed or were you relieved? >> no, i think i was disappointed. i thoughghjoe would be a great president. and i've seen his -- in the 40 years we've bebe together i've seen, you know, the strength of his character, his optimism. you know, his hope. >> i'm glad we're doing this interview. i like the way that sounds. >> so i believed he would have been the best president. >> i mean, how much did you struggle with this, about whether to run or not? >> what i struggled with was whether or not we could emotionally -- i could. speak for me. i could emotionally handle this in a way that when i thought of beau i didn't -- it wasn't a
2:31 am
problem. for example, at one point late summer i thought, well, you know, i think we can do this. i can't forget our little granddaughter, we're down by the swimming pool, mom says it's time for dinner. and everybody goes up. and she's lying between my legs with her head on my chest and turns around and puts her arms ound me and starts sobbing, says, "pop, i see daddy all the time. i see daddy all the time. pop, you smell like daddy. you're not going to leave me, are you, pop?" well, when that happens you go, i don't know, man. how -- so there are those kis of ups and dowow. but by the time now, you know, we go till we were home last weekend and we went to her. she's a great little cross-country. she's only 11 years old. >> track meet. >> track meet. and she runs and she finishes and i give her a big hug. she said, "daddy would be happy, wouldn't he?" so it's a total -- it just takes time.
2:32 am
and until you get there you know it's not an appropriate thing to throw your -- and by the way, you can't run for president unless you throw your entire being into it. >> how often did the twof you talk about this decision? every night? >> well, we just looked at each other half the time. like i'd get up in the morning some mornings and i'd say, you know, jill, i think i -- i have to admit to you, what was driving us crazy is you guys, we love you but you know, serious press people would say, well, we have on good authority from a very close friend of joe biden's that he's going to announce tomorrow or we have it on good authority he's not going to run. and that used to drive me crazy. so part of it was i'd get up some mornings and say let's just end this thing, man, we don't have time -- i don't want to keep getting buffeted like this. and so some mornings we'd say -- like i remember about a month ago we're on the porch at home and i saididyou know, maybe we should just -- i ion't know if
2:33 am
we're going to get there in time. maybe we should just say we're not going. and jill said what about the supreme court? >> what about education? what about community colleges? i felt like we were -- everything we'd worked so hard for in this administration, you know, could all -- could just all change. >> now, that's because s's prejudiced. she thinks i have the best chance o owinning the general election. >> but t tt's really interesting to hear that. that you were really pushing him to go forward. >> oh, yeah. sure. >> will you ever run for political office again? >> no. no. i can do so much more, i believe. i hope i leave office as a respected figure who can convene people and bring people together, and i just think the president and i talked about what we'd do together, what we each want to do out of office. >> you said something in the rose garden.
2:34 am
that ended cancer. >> it's true. it's personal. i acknowledge. but you know, cancer affects every single family. and you know, one of the grere advantages and advantage i had of being vice president, i had access to the finest people in the world. and i am confident if we made the decision john kennedy made in going to the moon and we said we are going to cure cancer within the next several years we can do that. that's how close it is. >> reporter: after we interviewed the bidens together,r, jill biden stepped out and we continued our conversation with the vice president. >> believe me, i'm sure she's happy to. >> thank you. >> there was a lot you had to weigh in this run for president. i know you talked to your son beau about running for president. what did he want you to do? >> the first thing i'd like to do -- and you're being very polite the way you'rasking me
2:35 am
the question b bause some people have written that, you know, beau on his deathbed said dad, you've got to run and there was this sort of hollywood moment that -- you know, nothing like that ever, ever happened. beau from the time he was in his 30s, or actually his late 20s, was my -- he and hunter are my two most reliable advisers. and beau all along thought that i should run and i could win. but there was not what is sort of made out as this kind of hollywoodesque t tng that at the last minute beau grabbed my hand and said dad, you've got to run like win one for the gipper. it wasn't anything like that. >> i want to show you a photo of president obama and you. this is in the oval office. this is right before you went out into the rose garden and told everybody you weren't running for president.
2:36 am
what advice did the presidenen give you? >> i called the president early in the morning. he was in the gym working out. and he took my call. and i said, mr. president, i said, we've decided, i'm not going to run. he knew how close it was, what was going on.. and i said, i'm going to go out and announce it this morning or early afternoon.

2:39 am
with ted cruz coming in third. john dickerson spoke to trump about the iowa poll and other topics for "face the nation." >> well, i don't understand iowa because frankly i just left and we had tremendous crowds and tremendous enthusiasm and frankly even to be tied i'm a little surprised. i know that i'm very honored by what's happened in new hampshire and south carolina. it's amazing results. amazing. but i think that iowa, it s that same incredible feeling. we had a rally there the other day, and it was so intense and it was so much love in the room. so i'm actually surprised, very surprised that i'm even tied in iowa. >> you also mentioned d . carson was controlled by his pac, but he has received more small dollar donations than anybody else. so isn't that a sign that he's got grassroots support and not that he's controlledy his pac, people? >> well, the people running his pac are highly trained professionals, i would imagine. and those people are using that
2:40 am
pac difffrently than you're susuosed to use a pac. they are running iowa for him. they are in there. they're doing all sorts of things that are totally different than what you're supposed to be doing. ben is in iowa very little. he does not go to iowa much. the peoplelere doing leaflets. they're doing all this stuff. they're essentially campaigning for him in iowa. and that's not what a pac is supposed tc be. it's not supposed to happen that way. and as you know, i've disavowed all pacs. i had many people setting up pacs for me and we sent letters last week say we don't want -- we respect them, we love them, assuming it's all on the up and up. because i donon know -- you know, these people run pacs. i don't know what they do with everything. but certainly for the runs that are doing it with the right intention. but we disavowed all pacs, every one of them, john. and every candidate should do the same thing. this whole pac concept is fraught with problems, and i think you're going to see tremendous problems with pacs over the years.
2:41 am
i don't want anybody -- i'm self-funding my campaign. other than the little contributions where people send $7 and $50 and $100, we love that because that's an investment, that's a real investment in ououcountry in the mpaign. t other than that i have totally -- i don't want any money. and i think that people should disavow -- candidates should divow their pacs. >> let me ask you about another one of your challengers. let's listen to something jeb bush said d cently. >> i've got a lot of really cool things i could do other than sit around being miserable listening to people demonize me and me feeling compelled to demonize that is a joke. elect trump if you want that. >> so he says you're a demonizer. >> well, look, i'm trying to say it like it is. his campaign is in disarray. he paid one person $1.1.million, back in the pac. but his campaign is a total disaster. he's paid people far`too much. now hegs cutting everybody's
2:42 am
salaries. as a businessmsm if he can cut salaries 40% and 50% why didn't he do it when he started? why is he doing it now? why did he hire them in the first place for so much? that means they would have worked for a lot less money. but his campaign is in disarary. his whole thing is a mess. but he paid one person, as i understand it -- now, maybe that's incorrect. but paid over a million dollars for one persrs, and it's okay maybe after everything's done they get a great incentive. but he's doing very poorly. you don't pay that kind of money. so he's got some problems. >> let me ask you a couple policy questioio here. we're about to have a fight over the government's ability to borrow money, the debt limit. do you think it's an economic problem if the debt limit is not raised? will that hurt the economy? >> well, i think what they should do is use the debt limit as a very strong negotiating tool t tmake other changes and to cut costs elsewhere. the republicans don't know how to negotiate, to be honest with you. i'm a republican. it's embarrassing to watch them

3:27 am
we could do that before time ran out. and it was nothing we could control. >> were you disappointed or were you relieved? >> no, i think i was disappoint disappointed. i thought joe would be a great president. and i've seen his -- in the 40 years we've been together i've seen the strength of his character, his optimism. you know, his hope. >> i'm glad we're doing this interview. i like the way thatt sounds. >> so i believed he would have been the best president. >> i mean, how much did you struggle with this, about whether to run or t? >> what i struggled with was whether or not we could emotionally -- i could. speak for me. i could emotionally handle this
3:28 am
beau i didn't -- it wasn't a problem. for example, at one point late summer i thought, well, you know, i think we can do this. i can't forget o little granddaughter, we're down by the swimming pool, mom says it's time for dinner. everybody goes up. and she's lying with her head on my chest and turns around and puts her arm around me and starts sobbing and says pop, i sedaddy all the time. i see daddy all the time. pop, you smell like daddy. you're not going to leave me, e you, pop? well, when that happens you go, i don't know, man. how -- so there are those kinds of ups and downs. but by the time now, you know, we g g till we were home last weekend and we went to her. she's a great little cross-country. only 11 years old. >> track meet. >> track meet. anddshe r`ns and s finishes and i give her a big hug. she says daddy would be happy, wouldn't he?
3:29 am
and until you get there you know 's not an appropriate thing to throw your -- and by the way, you can't run for president unless you throw your entire being into it. >> how often did the two of you talk about this decision? every night? >> well, w just lkedat each other lf the time. like i'd get up in the morning some mornings and i'd say, you know, jill, i think i -- i have to admit to you, it was driving us crazy is you guys, we love you but you know, serious press people would say, well, we have on good authority from a very close friend of joe biden's that he's going to announce tomorrow or we have it on good authority he's not going to run. and that used to drive me crazy. so part of it was i'd get up someme mornings a a say let's just end this thing, man, we don't have time -- i don't want to keep getting buffeted like this. and sg some mornings we'd say -- like i remember about a month ago we'reen the porch at home and i said, you know, maybe we should just -- i don't know if
3:30 am
we're going to get there in time. maybe we should just say we're not going. and jill said what about the supreme court? >> what about education? what about community colleges? i felt like we were -- everything we'd worked so hard for in thi administration, you know, could all -- could just all change. >> now, that's because she's prejudiced. she thinks i have the best chance of winning the general election. >> but that's really interesting to hear that. that you were really pushing him to go forward. >> oh, yeah. sure. >> will you ever run for political office again? >> no. no. i can do so much more, i bleev% believe. i hope i leave office as a respected figure who can convene people and bring people together, and i just think the president and i talked about what we'd do together, whate each wantto do out of office. >> you said something in the rose garden. you said if i could be anything
3:31 am
i would want to be the president that ended cancer. >> it's true. it's personal. i acknowledge. but cancer affects every single family. and you know, one of the great advaages and advantage i had of being vice president, i had access to the finest people in the world. and i am confident if we made the decision john kennedy made in going to the room and we said we are going to cure cancer, within the next several yearsrse can do that. that's how close it is. >> reporter: after we interviewed the bidens together, jill biden stepped out and we continued our conversation with the vice president. >> believe me, i'm sure she's happy to. >> there was a lot you had to weigh in this run for president. i know you talked to your son beau about running for president. what did he want y y to do? >> the first thing i'd like to do -- and you're being very polite the way you're asking me
3:32 am
the question because some people have written that, you know, beau on his deathbed said dad, you've got to run and it was this sort ofollywood moment that -- you know, nothing like that ever, ever happened. beau from the time he was in his 30s, or actually his late 20s, was my -- he and hunter are my two most reliable advisers. and beau all along thought that i should run and i could win. but there was not what is sort of madeut as thiss kind of hollywoodesque thing that at the last minute beau grabbed my hand and said dad, you've got to run like win one for the gipper. it wasn't anything like that. >> i want to show you a photo of president obama and you. this is in the oval office. this is ght before you went out into the rose garden and told everybody you weren't running for president. what advice did the president give you? >> i called the president early
3:33 am
in the morning. he was in the gym working out. and he took my call. and i said, mr. president, i said, we've decided, i'm not going to run. he knew how close it was, what was going on. and i said, i'm going to go out music throughout unlike ordinary diapers, pampers has three absorbent layers to stay up to three times drier. so your baby can sleep soundly all night. wishing you love, sleep and play.

cbs battleground tracker polls show gop f fnt-runner donald trump maintaining his lead in key primary states. in new hampshire trump has the support of 38% of likely gop primary voters. ben carson is second with 12%. the rest of the field is in sisile digits. ininouth carolina it is trump at 40%, carson with 23%. the rest far behind. but in iowa the republican race has tightened. trump and carson are td at 27% with ted cruz coming in third.
3:36 am
about the iowa poll and other topics for "face the nation." >> well, i don't understand iowa because frankly i just left and we had tremendous crowds and tremendous enthusiasm and frankly even to be tied i'm a little bit surprised. i know i'm very honored by what's happened in new hampshire and south carolina. it's amazing results. amazeing amazing. but i think that iowa, it has that same incredible feeling. we had a rally there the other day, and it was so intense and it was so much love in the room. so i'm actually surprised, very surprpsed that i'm evenied in iowa. >> you also mentioned mr. carson was controlled by his pac, but he has received more small dollar donations than anybody else. so isn't that a sign that he's got grassroots supuprt and not that he's controllele by his pac, as you've claimed about other people? >> well, the people running his pac are hhly trained professionals, i would imagine. and those people are using that
3:37 am
supposed to use a pac. they are running iowa for him. they are in there. they're doing all sorts of things that are totally different than what you're supposed to be doing. ben n in iowa very little. he does not go to iowa much. the people are doing leaflets. they're doing all this stuff. they're essentially campaigning for him in iowa. and that's not what a pac is supposed to be. it's not suppopod to happen that way. and as you know, i've disavowed all pacs. i had many people setting up pa for me and we sent letters last week say we don't want -- we r rpect them, we love them, assuming it's all on the up and up. because these people run pacs. i don't know what they do with everything. but certainly the ones doing it with the right intention. t we disavowed all pacs, every one of them, john. and every candidate should do the same thing. this whole pac concept is fraught with problems, and i think you're going to see tremendous problems with pacs
3:38 am
over theears. and i am disavowing all pacs. i don't want anybody -- i'm self-funding my campaign. other than the little contributions where people send $7 and $50 and $100, we love that because that's an investment, that's a real investment in our country in the campaign. but other than that i have totally -- i don't want any money. and i think that people should disavow -- candidates should disavow theiei pacs. >> let me ask you about another one of your challengers. let's listen to something jeb bush said recently. >> i've got a lot of really cool things i could do other than sit around being miserable listening to people demonize me e d me feeling compelled to demonize them. that is a joke. elect trump if you want that. >> so he says you're a demonizer. >> well, look, i'm trying to say it like it is. his campaign is in disarray. he paid one person $1.3 million, and he's languishing way, way back in the pac. but his campaign is a total disaster.
3:39 am
he's paid people far too much. now he's cutting everybody's salaries. as a businessman if he can cut salaries 40% and 50% why didn't he do it when he started? why is he doing it now? why did he hire them in the first place forro much? that means they wouou have worked for a lot less money. but his campaign is in disarray. his whole thing is a mess. but he paid one person, as i understand it -- now, maybe that's incorrect. but paid over aillion dollars for one person, and it's okay maybe after everything's done they get a great incentive. but he's doing very poorly. you don't pay that kind of money. soe's got some problems. >> let me ask you a couple policy questions here. we're e out to have a f fht over the government's ability to borrow money, the debt limit. do you think it's an economic problem if the debt limit is not raised? will that hurt the economy? >> well, i think what they should do is use the debt limit as a v vy strong negotiating tool to make other changes and to cut costs elsewhere. the republicans don't know how to negotiate, to be honest with you. i'm a republican. it's embarrassing to watch them
3:40 am
negotiate. i mean, john boehnerer said the other day he will not use the debt limit. he will not close. well, i tell you what, when you say that you have now given everything to the democrats and to president obama because thehe haveveheir way 100% -- >> but let me ask you about that question, the debt limit. do you think that if it's breached that that's an economic problem? leaving aside the question of negotiation. because there's a debate -- >> i don't want to say. and i'll t tl you why. we should usese it as negotiation. and the problem we have in this country, we're so predictable. whether it's with isis or with iraq or with the negotiation of a debt limit. boehner should not be saying we will not close because you can't negotiate once you say that. you've given up 95% of your strength when you do th. so i'm not going to say but i will tell you, it's an amazing tool to negotiate because it is a very, very -- i mean, it's fairly catastrophic if it happens, but some people are
3:41 am
willing to go through that in order to win. d by the way, and'm not saying they shouldn't be. in order to win and in order to cut the kind of costs. there's so much waste and so much fat. it's like jeb bush's campaign. there's waste and there's fat. and he's trying to solve the problem. but see, a person like that cannot solve the problem of the country because the country has the same problem that he has. >> donald trump says he doesn't wawa any superpacs supporting him but as of last week at least one was operating apparently with trump's blessing. julianna goldman hashe story. >> they have these things called superpacs. no one knows what they are. what they mean. it's the dumbest thing i've ever seen. >> reporter: railing against the pacs and the candidates who have them are regular attack lines in donald trump stump speeches. >> they w wt to take these people like little puppets and they want to say you do as i told you because i gave you $5 million and you'd better do it. >> reporter: trump made those comments last night amid a flurry of questions stemming
3:42 am
from a "washington post" article on whether one of the groups based in denver, the make america great again pac, was operating with trump's approval. peop familiar with the campaign's initial planning tell cbs news that before trump w w an official candidate his team discussed whether to sanction a dedicated super pac and to call it "make america great again," a phrase trump has trademarked. one republican operative tweeted that she h h been invited to meet with the campaign in jane june, ahead of his announcement. she said in those meetings she was told the campaign was planning to have an allied super pac. then over the summer the trump's daughter's in-laws the kushner family gave $100,000 to the group. they hosted a meet and greet in august at their new jersey beach house. trump attended and some people gave money to the superpac. more connections were revealed later this week in another article by the "washington post," which published an e-mail also obtained by cbs news showing that in early september
3:43 am
the denver-based surpac sent a fund-raising solicitatio to a donor where he said he obtained their e-mail from rhona, trump's long-time secretary. on wednesday trump's campaign attorney sent letters to nine superpacs backing trump including the make america great again pac saying your organization is not authorized to use mr. trump's name and likeness in connection with its fund-rmising activities and we are formally disavowing such activities. by t trsday night the group'p' director said it would be winding down, saying "mr. trump has said he doesn't have a super pac. to erase any doubt, i am closing my sumper pac." and trump insisis that every candidate should follow his lead. >> all candidates disavow your super pacs. run for office and be proud but disavow your super pacs. drop them. drop them. >> reporter: the trump campaign hasn't responded to repeated questions from cbs news about

especially under general anesthesia. >> good morning. >> reporter: but anesthesia's changed. now typically an epidural or spinal block. dr. tara sharazian is an obstetrician at nyu langone medical center. >> the rules that have been in place for eating and drinking during labor were intended for practices that have been outdated for generations. >> absolutely. they are practices that do not affect the vast majority of women. reporter: a study by the american society of anesthesiologists now shows most healthy women would benefit from a light meal during labor. researchers analyzed hundreds of% recent studies and conclude moms in labor need thsame kind of energy and calories as marathon runners. when they don't get it, their bodies turn to fat for energy. that can reduce contractions, leading to longer labor and lower health scores in newborns. >> in low-risk women some

abuse. >> reporter: something to ponder as we face the future. don dahler, cbs news, waltham, massachusetts. that is the "overnight news" for this mony. for r me of you the news contntues. for others check back with us a little later for the morning news and "cbs this morning." captioning funded by cbs it's monday, october 26th, 2015. this is the "cbs morning news." breaking news from overnight. at least five people are dead when a whale watching ship sinks off thee coast off western canada. the oklahoma state community faced tribute tohe victims killed in saturday's homecoming
