good morning to our viewers in the west. it is tuesday, january 26th, 2016. welcome back to "cbs this

more real news ahead including a tale of two snow bound cities. david baeg naud and kris van cleave will be here. >> this is grant street in washington. it's essentially frozen in time. >> the city's finally gotten around to cleaning the streets where we are. workers are shoveling out snow. >> the democratic race here in iowa is so close that the candidates were literally trying to tick off each other's supporters. >> it's tie here in iowa, which means a victory could mean trump's once improbable bid very hard to stop. the grand jury does exactly the opposite of what was expected and indicts the people who took the videos. >> all three men are facing federal charges. authorities believe they're still in the area and considered armed and dangerous. >> her physical injuries are

as you're going to see, the emotional wounds are still very fresh. >> two of them came back and saw us and -- >> it's basically a giant ipad that lets you order your meals exactly as you'd like it. >> sausage mcmuffin with cheese and hash brown. you can throw in the pancakes, too, they're light and fluffy. i haven't had it in a while but it is really good. >> how many points is that on weight watchers? >> 15. >> you already checked. >> yes, i did check. >> today's "eye opener at 8" apresented by prudential. i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. the two top democratic presidential candidates are intensifying their battle for votes and votes in next week's iowa caucuses. that race is very close but a new poll this morning shows hillary clinton with a 14-point sanders.

democrats between 18 and 24 years old overwhelmingly go for bernie sanders. one young voter asked clinton at a town hall last night why her supporters are not more committed to her. >> it feels like there's a lot of young people like myself who are very passionate supporters of bernie sanders and i just don't see the same enthusiasm from younger people for you. in fact, i've heard from quite a few people my age that they think you're dishonest. but i'd like to hear from you on why you feel the enthusiasm isn't there. >> well, i think it really depends on who you're seeing and talking to. i'm totally happy to see young people involved in any way. that's what we want. and we want to have a good primary to pick a nominee and then we want to have everybody join together to make sure we win in november. which after all, is the purpose

you have to have somebody who is a proven db proven, proven fighter. somebody who has taken them on and won and kept going and will do that as president. that's why i hope you'll reconsider. >> all right. in new hampshire, a voter asked chris christie why he was campaigning instead of managing the storm cleanup in new jersey. the governor spent the weekend in his home state where there was significant flooding. >> it's already done. tell me why you think it isn't. >> i have family calling me >> where? >> all over the state. >> all over the state. state. i don't know what you expect me to do. you want me to go down there with a mop. >> christie then offered to check personally with the woman's family and friends in new jersey. >> we're tracking two cities, very different recoveries this morning from the massive blizzard in washington, d.c.,

schools are still closed three days after the storm. while in new york city, life has started to return to normal. both cities received similar amounts of snow. kris van cleave is in washington and david begnaud is in new york to show us why there's such a contrast in the two cities. let's start in new york. good morning. >> they're still working to clean the streets here in queens where we are this morning. residents are frustrated by the city's slow response, most people doing one of these with a shovel. they've gotten 25 inches of snow in queens, the average for the year and they got it all at once. new york is a city that never sleeps. and barely flinches in a blizzard. before there was even a dusting, city officials tapped into the $77.5 million annual snow budget and deployed 579 salt spreaders. at the heart of the storm saturday, new york banned travel

that didn't stop some new yorkers from finding creative ways to get around. by sunday, most main streets were clear and monday it was back to work with people ignoring the snow and each other as usual. >> i know other cities struggled and a lot of them are not blessed with the kind of public employees, the number and the quality and the highly trained public employees that we have. >> reporter: i think the struggle the mayor was talking about here may have well been washington, d.c. kris van cleave, anything back to normal there yet? >> well, it depends on where you are. right here is not back to normal. federal workers are not working today. that's not normal. but it's a good thing they're not on the roads. those who are are finding it slow going because of snow removal process. and, look, there's a lot of snow on the ground here. d.c. officials say you have to keep in mind they haven't dealt with a storm that dumped this

since 1922. >> you look at manhattan got more snow than d.c. and they, in much quicker order, were back to schools in session, roads being cleared. is it an unfair comparison? >> it's an unfair comparison. >> reporter: these two cities couldn't be more different. with a population of 669,000, d.c. is smaller than the 8.5 york. it has a fraction of the big apple's cash. washington, d.c. has a budget of $6.2 million a year for snow cleanup. 1/12 of what new york can spend. this weekend, the metro was close and people had to find their cars before they could start big digging them out. schools have been closed and novice sledders became capital ground hazards. >> are you all right? >> reporter: at least one d.c.

politician back at work. >> mr. president, what did you think of snow-poolips? >> boston's mayor said he feels bad for the district and offered to send snowplows. there's pavement right here. you just can't get the car out because of the snow bank. in april we do get cherry blossoms, galeyle. >> d.c. saying let's be clear, compare apples to apples. it's a very different situation. they're working round the clock. >> they'll get it. >> thank you again, chris. washington, you're in washington and david, you're in new york. we thank you both. el nino put some residents in california on the brink of

ahead, how falling cliffs could >> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" at 8:00 is sponsored by prudential.

challenges. thinking of a career change? >> no. are you? are you, charlie? no. no, we're not. go ahead, norah. >> first on "cbs this morning," "u.s. news and world report" unveils what it says are the best jobs of 2016. he'll also reveal which pro-federal governments have the highest salaries. you're watching "cbs this morning." you're watching "cbs this morning." i don't want to live with the uncertainties of hep c. or wonder whether i should seek treatment.

because today there's harvoni. a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. harvoni is proven to cure up to 99% of patients who've had no prior treatment. it's the one and only cure that's one pill, once a day for 12 weeks. certain patients... can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. with harvoni, there's no interferon and there are no complex regimens. tell your doctor if you have other liver or kidney problems, hiv, or other medical conditions, and about all the medicines you take including herbal supplements. taking amiodarone with harvoni may cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. common side effects of harvoni may include tiredness, headache and weakness. i am ready to put hep c behind me. i am ready to be cured. are you ready? ask your hep c specialist if harvoni is right for you. shoulders don't just carry pads. they carry your fans' passions, hopes, and dreams

some residents in a cliffside community in california are closer to losing their homes this morning. several apartment buildings are in danger of falling into the oceans below. the cliffs they sit on are being eaten away by wave ss from el nino. >> reporter: police hosted

to go. danger had become too great as the cliff started falling dramatically into the ocean. >> you have to get out. >> reporter: michelle montoya moved into two months ago to an apartment with an unparalleled ocean view. >> where are you going to go. >> i have no clue. >> reporter: the cliffs can rise more than 100 feet and the base is pounded by high surf, the bluff is undermined. that's why these big bolders have been brought in. but when powerful winter storms hit, the cliffs take a beating. that left the buildings teetering on the edge. two of the apartment buildings have been sitting empty since 2010 when they were deemed dangerously uninhabitable. since then, four years of drought in california meant few storms until this winter when heavy rain returned. pacifica has seen this before.

washed away cliffs, leaving several houses hanging on edge. one collapsed on to the beach below. others had to be torn down. he knew the building where he lived would one day meet the same fate. >> here it is. the old saying goes if you're not living on the edge you're taking up too much space. >> reporter: the order to evacuate the apartment building was criticized by the building's owner at a city council meeting last night. >> to throw all the residents and tennants out in a couple hours is really unfair. it's very hard on them and i'm going to be filing an appeal on this decision made by the city. >> reporter: the city manager insisted the danger is real. >> we knew this day was going to come. we didn't know when. we were putting it off as long as possible, not an action we took lightly. >> reporter: earlier in the day, michael mchenry was anxious to move.

>> how am i supposed to keep my job and eat in the process of this? this is unfair. >> reporter: it's a fate more pacific pacifica citizens could face. half of pacificas businesses are located there, too. john blackstone, pacifica, california. >> the city is right to warn them, they're right to worry about where they're going to go. >> where they're going to live and keep their jobs. >> how to survive. scary situation. he's using comedy to lighten a movie about the financial crisis. the filmmaker hundred "anchorman" shows us how he crosses genres for his oscar-nominated movie, it's called "the big short." that's ahead on "cbs this morning." ...that's clinically proven to help keep me fuller longer. benefiber healthy shape. this, i can do. find us in the fiber aisle. enamel is your teeth's first line of defense.

if you're doing everything right but find it harder and harder to get by, you're not alone. while our people work longer hours for lower wages, almost all new income goes to the top 1%. my plan -- make wall street banks and the ultrarich pay their fair share of taxes, provide living wages for working people,

i'm bernie sanders. i approve this message because together, we can make a political revolution and create an economy and democracy that works for all and not just the powerful few. so how about construction? >> oh, that would be good. sawing, hammering, eating out of a lunch pail as my fellow workers and i are perched on a girder high above a met trop lis. >> no, no. this is putting up sheetrock at a house in rose meade. >> i can do that. >> good. >> one question. >> yes? >> what's sheetrock. >> sheldon. that's very good. first on "cbs this morning," first on cbs, i like when we can

best jobs of 2016. so. going in at number 5 is a physician assistant. coming in at number four is a nurse in charge of anesthesia. i needed a little help with that. three is a computer systems analyst, two ais a dentist and one is an orthodontist. welcome back to the table. listen. people always want to have good looking teeth so orthodontists will never be out of business. . but were you surprised it's number one? >> these move around. it's really health care in general. this is the year of health care. so all of those health care jobs moved up over the health care jobs. dentist was near the top last year. so it's a horse race, but a minor one in the sense of competition. it really is a whole category of jobs that are moving forward. >> other than health care, what?

the health care jobs are dominant. 60% of the jobs on our list were health care related. technology is the big winner the last five years. it hasn't gone away. it's still there but health care has come up relatively speaking. computer science, information tech, all of those jobs that relate to the digital world. >> if you're a parent looking at this and you want to steer your child into a good paying job, what are one of the things you learn, science, right? >> science and math. eat your broccoli. you have to do your math homework. that's one of the things that comes through every single job in the top 20 is science-related. you can't be an occupational therapist without a background in statistics and computers. we're not just looking at a job today. we're taking a look at a longer term horizon. it's not just a job. it's a career? when you do that, what stands

let's go bath to math. they want you to think math and science is a good thing. >> well, it's important. it's the building block. you have to say it. it doesn't have to necessarily be calculus. but algebra 2 is critical. if you don't take it early in high school, you're in big trouble. every one of these jobs that you point to, you have to have that foundation, that's sort of a separate thing we talk about at u.s. news. >> i flunked algebra 2. when you look ahead, what do you see? >> you see the jobs that aren't going to be there. one of the reasons these jobs endure is they're hands-on. they're people who need to work with the elderly, which is going to be a booming population. >> your best paying cities. >> the best paying cities are the most expensive cities. they relate to the technology. >> and the best paying jobs.

francisco. >> right. >> best paying jobs? >> surgeon is the best paying. anesthesiologist is number one, surgeon, dental surgeon. all of those are right up the top and next down would be the really sophisticated technology jobs. >> brian kelly, thank you so much. >> learn to code. >> right. super bowl ads that quench your thirst for entertainment. >> it was one of those commercials that had everything. it had a great music, sexy and hot and then at the end the kids go. >> is that a great new pepsi can or what? >> ahead supermodel cindymetro will be releasing more details about the shooting involving one of their officers.. in front of the bellagio. after asking the public for help.. police were able to identify the suspect in custody as kahleal black. officers say he pointed a gun at people on the strip last friday

to put it down. a metro officer shot but missed and hit a child, whom is expected to be okay. the metro officer who fired the shots is now on routine paid administrative leave, pending the investigation. black now faces a number of charges including assault with a deadly weapon and possession of stolen property./// ((brian loftus)) > thousands of students, parents, and teachers are expected to rally this morning for national school choice week. they'll be meeting at cashman center at 10 am. public leaders, educators, and parents will be speaking.. organizers say it's to show support for educational reform nevada. school choice week is to raise awareness of education options./// now we want to get a check on < >constructio n underway on paraidse. stops. avoid the strip between flamingo and harmon from 10pm tonight to 7am wednesday morning. crews will shut down that stretch to film the new jason < > < > < >

possible presidential run? [ inaudible ] have a good day. >> thanks. >> i heard him say have a good day. mayor bloomberg said i don't feel like chatting about that this morning. former new york mayor michael bloomberg happy to talk about the weather this morning but not a possible presidential campaign. cbs news has confirmed he is considering running as an independent if the republicans nominate donald trump or ted cruz or the democrats nominate bernie sanders. >> a lot of ifs. a new come by is out about the financial crisis, "the big shore. short." see how he turned drama focusing on wall street into a contender for five oscars. >> plus the story about super bowl ads.

the game itself. we'll explore what makes some ads memorable. that's ahead. time for this morning's headlines. the "washington post" focuses on gender when it comes to heart attack. they say it's because women tend to be undertreated. risk factors also have greater impact on women than men. "the miami herald" reports on a safe found at a former home of drug lord pablo escobar. workers found it monday when they excavated his property. he hid his wealth in secret compartments. the new owners will keep the property in the bank vault until they try to unload it. >> who owns the money? >> they did. they bought the house. anything else? >> bodies, you're suggesting?

drugs. >> where's your brain going? bodies in a safe? okay. the "new york post" report ostown fire commissioner of new york taking heat. a man ordered fire crews to clear his home. at least eight were employed to shuvl a three-foot row. the fire department said they did not miss any call while they were helping him. the stars of "friends" except for matthew perry got together this weekend with actors from the big bang theoriy. yts look at that. they got together for the director who directed both of the shows. facebook co-founder mar becoming a dad. he posted this. he joked about what he should wear on his first day back on the job. the ceo is known for his hoodie

he announced the birth of his daughter maxima on december 1st. they're calling her max. i like that. >> good for her. >> yeah. excitement is building for super bowl 50 and its ads. apple introduced its macintosh computer during a game in 1984. everybody say i permanently changed the name. it goes for about $5 million. this is a far cry from the around $40,000 it cost for an ad in super bowl 1i. we spoke too people about the most memorable super bowl commercials. >> that's my stock. >> my god. >> you iraqi got that big viewing audience and everybody has the pressure on it to be the biggest.

>> that's not what your girlfriend said. >> there's something about a super bowl commercial that makes everyone bring their a-game. >> off the scoreboard, no rim. >> for me super bowl was about commercials as a kid it's become must-see viewing for everybody. >> go back and look over the earliest super bowls. it's amazing. >> mint in my menthol shaving cream? >> it's just a completely different universe. >> if you don't buy rca, you may be buying an obsolete color tv. >> if you look at that story, that color tv, that evolution, you start in 1984 with the apple ad. >> the first glorious anniversary. >> from an industry point of view, it completely changes the game. for the first time people

something that has buzz value, is going to be talked about, and we need to have more of a risk. i still get chills thinking about the experience of seeing that ad for the first time. >> many years ago i was invited to do a commercial for pepsi and it launched their new can. it was one of those commercials that had everything. it had a great music, it was sexy and hot but funny. in the end the kids go, is that a great new pepsi can or what. and i think that's why people loved it so much. >> my favorite is a spot we did in 2003 for trident. >> now, then, would you recommend trident for your patients who choose gum? >> why didn't the fifth dentist recommend trident.

>> it's a career-making move. it can introduce new talent. >> for the commercial i was pretty much just modeling and wanting to get my foot in the door for acting and tv, and so that was just like the big boom. during it i was wearing nude underwear and a nude bra. then at the end of the scene and i bite the burger, i'm in a bathing suit. >> what's the criteria for a good burger bite? >> i don't know. but i had it. >> certainly it's bun one of the a great advertisers. >> you think about what's up. >> what's up that what's up. >> what bud started to do is do advertising on the super bowl that didn't just excite people when they were watching the game.

made its way into pop culture. >> one of the most famous ads ever made was the clydesdale ad called the we'll never forget. >> you think about what they did with the clydesdales after 9/11. that was pretty serious for the super bowl but it was the right thing to do at that moment. >> i think for super bowl, you want to see the commercials as much as you want to see the game. >> this is the motor city. this is what we do. >> the first thing i do is look at the super bowl advertising. >> hey, ralph, can i have a dorito? >> sure, when pigs fly. >> i think that would be the best way to understand what we were at any point in time. >> oh. >> i knew that. you just knew that was coming. >> you knew that was coming. it's like taking a walk in time about how we live as a culture. >> that cindy crawford. >> i love that one. >> me too. me too. >> really creative people.

to the super bowl 50 right here on cbs. jim nantz and phil simms of cbs sports will bring you all the action from levi's stadium in santa clara on sunday, february 7th. the president and first lady michelle obama live from the white house. that's all here on cbs. >> i wonder if they know i'm coming. i'd better check. >> all right. you probably wouldn't think a movie about the 2008 financial

the director adam mckay talks

you should be able to get ead and stay ahead. but so many families don't feel like their hard work pays off. that's not the way america is supposed to operate. i want to go to bat for them every single day. get incomes rising... get equal pay for women... cut the cost of health care and child care so people can actually get ahead. hillary clinton, she has what it takes to get things done.

movie fans know the work of writer, director, producer adam mccame he brought us hit comedies like "anchorman." his newest movie follows the events leading to the 2008 financial crisis from the perspective of four men who see what's coming before anybody else. one of them is a tormented hedge fund manager played by steve career. >> hi, honey. >> the therapist called. you did it again. >> there were no cabs.

>> you're running around like you have to right every wrong in the world. >> okay. fine. i'm a mean guy and i'm pissed off. you have no idea the kind of grab people are pulling and everybody's walking around like they're in a damn video. they're all getting screwed. you know. you know what they care about? they care about the ball game or what actress went into rehab. >> i think you should try medication. >> no, no. we agreed. it interferes wu work. >> maybe it's time to quit wall >> i love my job. >> i love my job. oscars. adam mckay. congratulations on the awards >> thank you. >> let's talk about this movie. it's built as a comedy. how could this be comedic. it's very serious issues.

it a tramedy. >> tragedy and comedy. >> yes. >> that makes more sense. >> it's also about group think, too, isn't it? >> yes. >> everybody has an idea. >> that was a scary moment to realize all these professionals, all these professionals that are math me tishens, even leaders, including all of us, i make movies, we completely missed this, and there was a sense that america could do no wrong and i really think the center of the movie is why did we miss this? what was wrong with our popular consensual culture that we all missed this. >> you pitched yourself for this movie. why? >> it was simply i read the book and the story -- i read it in one night and i just thought i have not red anything like this where the characters were so compelling. it's about everything happening now. we're linking in strange

brought all that together and it was informative. >> wasn't it personal for you too? >> i did. i had a close relative who lost their house during the collapse. i had a bunch of friends who lost their jobs. i knew there was a housing bubble, issues with the bank, there wasn't enough oversight. but michael lewis's book lit me up as far as getting a human and informational perspective. >> you tried to do that with sub prime mortgages and synthetic ceos to explain them in a humerus way to explain them to the public. >> that was kind of the big idea. i was an english major in college. i didn't study this stuff. i wanted to make sure when we communicated to the public there was a sense of humor to it. so we sort of looked at popular culture and celebrity culture and had the idea of, like, what would happen if every time kim kardashian were on cram she described the libor rate scandal.

>> margo robbie. >> margo robbie in a bubble bath. it came at poking fun at the celebrity culture and talking about it in a fun light way. we didn't feel it was heavy material. we thought it was exciting even though it's often portrayed as boring. >> didn't you feel you needed the green light? >> absolutely. the best thing about these actors. they're not just big names. they're a great actors. names. you had to have people who could transform in these characters. >> did brad produce this? >> yeah. he was a producer. so when he read the script, he read it and he was just reading it as a producer. so dee dee gardner and jeremy kleiner from plan b came back and said, we have some news, brad read the script. i thought he'd say he hates it.

so i had him audition. no, no. >> what people say about you guy in the room. >> comedians say that. >> comedians say that. >> my mother has said that. >> you iraqi heard it too. so you've got a funny gene. >> yeah. i came from comedy, second city. >> "saturday night live." >> yes, yes. so, yeah, i definitely like to joke around. in fact, one of the interesting things on the movie was i had to watch my tone when we were doing it because there are some heartbreaking scenes in this movie and my instinct is to also keep a very playful set and there were times where i had to go silence on this one. >> you know, there's a lot of controversy this year about the oscars that there were no people of color nominated in the top categories. what are your thoughts about that, adam? you're in the huchblt. >> i think we work in the arts. we're writers, we're artists, we're directors.

debates and i think it's a valid point. i was sad to see some people not recognized. if our filmmakers can't embrace this debate, i'm very sad. i was happy to see the academy make some systemic changes that will help with the future of it. but, yeah, i 100% support all the protests and debate about it. at the same time we've made movies protesting other issues. obviously our movie, the banks collapse disproportionately affected can americans around the country. it's a tricky line and spotline is going for a very big target. at the end of the day, completely supported and i agree. there's a diversity issue in hollywood but i have faith our system will fix it. >> the question is when will they get it done and how. >> yeah. that is the question. if i become an academy member, which i'm not right now, i will be conscious of my voting patterns. >> congratulations.

>> big learning lesson. very well done. >> i appreciate it. theaters.
