good morning to our viewers in the west. it is tuesday, january 19, 2016. welcome back to "cbs this morning."

including turm oil on wall street and the oil markets. jamie dimon is in studio 57 looking at how long the financial trouble could last. but first here's today's eye opener at 8:00. they handed out over 1,300 cases of water, but many people are saying this is only a temporary solution. ted cruz is in new hampshire a state he has largely ignored and where donald trump is riding high. this is where they can just start to pick up the normal routines of life. areas of rain and snow spreading in all the from seattle back down to central california. the reports say that more than a dozen players in the top 50 regularly log onner-- the basis for one of the worm's most successful american acts.

row, no person of color was categories. he's choking the life out of the guy, he's drunk as a skunk and now he's suing for $5 million? come on. chipotle is giving out double the amount of food. i'm not sure it was a good idea to call the promotion free-coli. i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. hundreds of people set to protest governor schnieder's state of the state tonight because of the flint water controversy. flint's water supply has been poisoned with lead for months.

dozens of children. >> protesters targeting snyder's home monday called for him to step down, "the wall street journal" compared snyder's handling of the water crisis to hurricane katrina is unfair, saying, it's not a disaster. governor snooityder says he's focussed on helping the people of flint not on politics. in two speeches on monday, trump did mott mention cruz by name. this morning he tweeted that cruz is, quote, a nervous wreck over poll thubs and he attacked cruz's citizenship and criticized cruz's state ads. in new hampshire last night, he disputed trump's conservative credentials for the first time in front of voters. >> he can launch any kind of

policy issues are fair game. donald trump says he thinks imminent domain is fantastic. he's talked a lot about illegalal immigration and amnesty. we were on the verge of losesing this fight and 12 million people here illegally being granted amnesty. donald was nowhere to be found. >> cruz will make six stops in new hampshire today on day three of a five-day visit. 500,000 new barrels offer rainian oil are expected to worsen the glut that has sent oil prices into a tail spin. the cost of crud this morning is under $30 a barrel, it's lowest level since 2003. weak demand for oil and china's slowing economy sent shockwaves through the market.

here to talk got the oil prices seem to be volatile and scared. china's announced it's lowest growth in gdp, does this concern you in terms of where the global economy is going? >> yes, a little bit, but maybe not as much as most other people. the way i look at it, china is confusing people, it's getting slower, they kind of mismanaged a little bit the u yuan and the stock market. i think there's uncertainty around the presidential election, i just think all of those three create a lot of turbulence, but i'm kind of hopeful when the markets

the economy, which is still eeconomy. >> i think china will grow 5% or economy. >> how resilient do you think the u.s. economy is? >> very. in the united states, we export only 12% or 13% of our gdp. 1% is china. 120 million people have jobs in the private sector. we see wages going up, we have added 12 million jobs in the last five or six years, and we have a thing where we analyze detailing how people spend money. the u.s. economy could plow right through this, it may slow it down a little bit, but as long as the u.s. economy is growing, that's probably the most important thing in the world right now.

in vogue on both parties. do you think that banks are easy targets or two you think it's unfair? >> i think we're targets and we have gotten used to it in the last several years. we help schools and -- i understand the political situation, but even the politicians should want jpmorgan do a good job of lending, helping our clients, allocating capital and obviously being safe and sound. we were an absolute rock of gibraltar in the last storm. >> clearly the storm had a huge impact and clearly you have paid billions of dollars in bonds, what do you regret? >> probably buying wamu. probably a bad thing in hindsight. in business, you may do some

we have now paid a terrible price. with we have got on great people from it. we got great people out of bear stearns, but we have paid out $20 billon at this point. >> could that happen again? >> i don't think we would ever prove an acquisition like that again. >> who do you think is stronger, hillary clinton or bernie sanders. >> i think there should be proper, strong regulations, and at one point we'll ned to get into detail what that is. at one point, we were a very strong company, we were a source of stability in the storm. let's talk about the right way to do things through good regulations. i think the regulators should take credit, the system is much stronger, twice as much cappal tall, god knows how much liquidity. the american bank system is very strong.

>> dodd frank was 1,000 different things, i supported 70% or 8 0%. to the same things i was against, barney frank was against. no one's going to agree on everything in a bill like that. i don't think congress is going to agree on everything. >> you talk about banks as being a human pin yacht a that. do in. >> so what do you think is the biggest misconception about wall street? >> we have private equity, venture capital. banks have a role in that, but we're in the exclusively wall street. a healthy financial system includes all of those things. so i think it's a black box to some people. but at the end of the day, we move money for people, we invest

and small. >> i want to talk about you being a good corporate citizen. can we do that for a second? >> of course. >> i too have been to a couple of jpmorgan conferences and i have seen the work you do. you want to reroutecruit students in a different way. not that there's anything wrong with a four-year college, but you want to change that. >> this grant is to get jobs created for kids who are graduated high school, community schools, so when they leave, they actually have a well paying job. so when you guys showed this aviation school in long island city, 2,000 kids go there. they get in, when they get out, $55,000 average job because they're trained in electrical equipment, they're trained in airframes, they're trained in engine control and stuff like that. so this grant hopefully will create ingenovation at the local

schools and businesses work together, and say if you do this, we're going to hire these kids. and businesses should be involved in that training so they get trained on what they want. and if it works there will be rep indication rep indication. >> community cools have a tab louse role to play in high schools, in high school, if you know coding, you're much more likely to get a job. that's a pathway, you can stay in that job, but if you asire to going to college, you should be able to do that too. >> what i like is that it a pays well, you really don't have to do this kind of thing. >> jpmorgan chase is one of the big estebanings in the county etremendous. the minority 20%. it's a disgrace. if you were a business, you would be ringing the alarm bell,

and say you're not leavingal until you fix it. it's great for society, obviously great for jpmorgan chase. it's not a zero sum game. here's one example. east germany and west germany. east germany wanted to be very profitable and west germany wasn't. but east germany to work together. jpmorgan has been doing this kind of stuff for 200 years, so in addition to banking, we try to help every community we're in. this is global too i by 12w5i. >> you had a bit of a health scare, do you feel as good as you look? >> i feel good, i'm happy to be healthy. >> don't go yet.

we have better sanitation, housing, air-conditioning, skreengs screens, so the outbreak will be more local. like we seen in dengue and other viruses. >> do you realize you have it? smr one out of five develop sum thomas. they are fever, joint pain, conjungtitis and pink eye. for many, the symptoms are piled. they're usually not life-threatening or serves they occur two to seven days after the bite and last several days to one week. many could clearly miss they have it. >> the effects for a fetus is terrible. >> sleerly, the recommendation to is postpone it, why? brazil has seen a rise in the cases of something called

on the journey home. his new music conquering life-threatening challenges and answering controversy. that's ahead. but right now, it's time to show you the headline, trader joe's recalling it's store brand r trader joe's stores in more than two dozen states. no illnesss have been reported. the new york daily news reports yesterday's episode of "jeopardy" ended without a capitals. >> a 1957 event led to the creation of a national historic site in this city. signed into law by a president whose library is now there, too. >> hmm. da da da da. the correct answer, what what was the correct answer? >> little rock.

>> arkansas. >> president bill clinton. >> i have been there. >> his presidential library is located there. they said all along, nobody will return on tonight's show. >> that is the first time that has happened in years. the new york post tells us about a supreme misconception. listen to this, a recent survey found nearly 10% of college graduates in the united states think judge judy is a member of the u.s. supreme court. >> oh my gosh. >> the general american public faired worse. 13% say she is a high court justice. this therapy is based on a thousand interviews nationwide. well. >> is judge judy the supreme court? >> that's a little embarrassing. yes, it is,. >> she told me it is range. >> that's the title of one of her books? seriously? >> that's not.

>> oh, my gosh. >> you know everything, tell me it's raining. a good title. the new york -- the new year can bring uncertainty, holiday sales at bricks and mortar sales grew. beat expectations with a 9% vote. examiners are expected to send back 30% of clothing and the shoes they bought online. that's twice the rate of returns in traditional shores. shannon spetty pettypiece. i like that name. i didn't get teased? >> i had the option to change it. i kept it. >> more people bleed guilty, by two sizes, sometimes three. >> people buy nine pairs of shoes online and return eight of them there that's not good. >> you want the make sure it fits you? always dreaming, charlie.

some companies know that you will do it. they have that built into the business model. people buying more online means they are returning and returns kill the retailers. here's an example. if you buy a $100 sweater. return that, after all of the repackaging, shipping fee, then the markdown, they have to put on that sweater because now it's february and no one is buying sweat, they can obviously make $when the want on that sweater they originally sold you for $100 this rise and returns is hurting retailers. >> is there a rift it can be passed down to us the shoppers in the future? >> luckily, it's a buyers market out there right now. there is a lot of competition retail a. lot of pressure on price. retailers can try to inch prices up. they got amazon knocking at their door works is not as worried about price like the retails i tailers are like maesies or target. they're stuck in a hard place. a lot of them seen margins shrink and are operating at a loss.

determine if you are getting a good price. >> shop online. pretty much everyone online is price matching. >> price matching. >> online, everyone is competitively price changing. one lowers, the other lowers, a lot of retailers are getting very savvy about pricing. >> is there one site that does that in. >> amazon is leading it. all the we believe sites target, wal-mart. i was watching over the holiday season. one drops the price, all the others. >> they make it easy for us to return, though, with the free shipping. number one, number two, where do the returns go? >> well, i mean, you think sometimes you send it back, it's going to the gap. they will put it back on the shechl. at love times it goes to a liquidator, a whole saleer who resells it on the sec market. consignment shop, ebay, sometimes overseas. so sometimes it's not going to the retailer. they will get a cut. >> what's your thought here, don't return?

>> i think the retailers need to think a different way, virtual shopping. 3 the modeling, where you enter your measure. s. the world is going online, it's not up to the retailer to do a better job. it's up to the retailer. >> all right. thank you, shan upon the. great to have you here. hundreds of thousands of pets each year take to the sky when they're too big to ride in the plane's cabin. they need to be checked. one of the largest airlines is joining other carriers and changing the rules. we are outside washington with the new pet policy. chris, good morning. >> good morning, charlie, if you have a big dog like buddy here, you want to fly with him. you used to be able to go to the ikt counter. increasingly, the airlines will send you here. this is the cargo terminal. hey, buddy, it is nowhere near

>> for peter, harold,stanty is a part of the family, when they fly, their adorable golden doodle does, too. she is too big for the cabin. she has to be checked. typically, they require carry-on pets an their carrier to fit under the seat in front of you. >> it takes a lot of time. there is a lot of paperwork. you have to go to your vet within a week of the flight and get the health certificate. each time you do it. so it's a, yeah, you have add about an extra hour to the arrival time. >> starting in march, delta will no longer allow them and instead they'll be handles as 48. they need dropped up off and picked up. which may be in a difl different location and the pooch could fly on a separate flight that may arrive at ative time. >> we won't do it with the cargo.

we don't have the confidence and it would be too traumatic for us to thinkf the dogs handles as cargo. >> reporter: delta a united change them ascargo. they run the pet safe program. >> we really have a better equipped facility at cargo and we can probably keep the animals in a safe environment and have professional staff that can look after them when they have a connection rather than leaving them out on the tarmac? programs like pet safe, where animals are kept in climbed controlled conditions, mark a course correction for airlines. cbs travel editor peter greenburg. >> airlines have done a terrible job for over 40 years in transporting pets in the passenger plane and the statistics prove that and the airlines don't want to play that game anymore. >> through november, 33 pets died, 23 injured. three more lost in a possession

>> reporter: the real issue is connecting flights. whether it's a passenger plane cargo holds, it gets down to the chain of custody. who's watching that animal? who's transferring that animal? who is caring that animal. it's a liability issue. >> reporter: southwest and jet blue when lit check a pet. american still does only on certain aircraft and not when it's too hot or too cold. aircraft delayed a trip for two days until seats were available on a pet friendly carrier. on the return to washington, weather delayed the bag annual, leaving peter pacing. >> yes. yes. >> reporter: but from the looks of it, the weight was well worth it. >> oh. delta says it will ultimately insure we have a high quality consistent service for pets when the owners ship them. office animals of all sizes are

experts say they think that that system will be abused by people that want to take advantage of that, instead of checking their pets. norah. >> wow, chris, i'm glad they're planning ahead for that, having recently floerngs it's different when it's a suitcase. but when it's your dog, it's really scary. >> it says emotional dog, i would be afraid. >> maybe not. >> but you can't admit. >> i'm thinking out loud. >> you can't admit on live the system. no, charlie, i wouldn't do that. >> you pay have emotional needs that may require that. >> i wouldn't do it, norah, i wouldn't do it. all right, he is a country music ling end, it's a poet of

[ music playing ] hank, jr. was 3. his mother molded him into his father's image. he gave fans what they wanted. an imitation of his dad, until in his early 20s, the pressure got too much? for a long time, it didn't matter, but, boy, you just start being a young man, you get, it starts working on you.

>> yeah, it got bad, real bad [ music playing ] >> reporter: the doctor who treated him was blunt. >> he said, let me just lay it out there for you. you have been taught from the time you can possibly remember to look like, act like, be like, everything exactly like your ledge enary father. you know, he said, they've done a dam good job and you're going to beat him. he said, you're going to beat him. he died at 29. you're going to die at 26. let me tell you something, folks, from that day on, hmm, all that went out the window.

[ music playing ] >> that song, what does it say? don't call me an icon? i don't care about the hall of fame. i'm going to live my life in my country boy town away. oh, they're real, baby. them songs are real. >> and williams has become a legend of his own by being his own man, his independence, his willingness to basically give the finger to authority.

wow. he has a new album coming out. >> he does, it's out. >> by the way, i was out of the country. i didn't see what happened to alabama and clemson, how'd that go? >> we did have a big win, i'd like to say roll tide. hank is a fan of the tide. >> i thought so. >> 45-40. wasn't that the score? >> it's always good to sigh you. you are watching "cbs this morning." we'll be right back. since 1961, pearle vision has provided the neighborhood with expert eye care. that was dr. stanley pearle's vision and we still proudly carry on his legacy. today, doctors like lisa hamilton perform
