the man's sash was just a purple scarf. a neighborhood on edge this morning. a new sinkhole just three miles from the one that killed 37-year-old jeb bush. >> all that. >> and there's a dunk. >> staring her down. come on i want a piece of you. >> and some christians have three girls that are 6, a long story. >> and all that matters. >> i don't have the first damn idea of what they're doing down there. real leadership with get this fixed. >> the sequester amounts to catching your kid smoking and forcing them to smoke a whole carton of cigarettes only your kid is dennis leery. >> "cbs this morning." >> the queen is resting at buckingham palace after being released from hospital. >> when reached for comments prince charles said, it's fine. welcome to "cbs this
7:01 am
morning." flying from the west coast to much of the country today will not be easy. many cities face the biggest snowstorm of the season. >> winter storm warnings are posted across the midwest. hundreds of flights have been canceled. jamie yuccas of station wcco is in minneapolis. >> reporter: snowplows were out all night but drivers have a tricky commute this morning. we're waking up from anywhere from 7 to 10 inches of snow. it's not going to stop anytime soon. we could see more than a foot of snow by the time this is all said and done. the flakes are expected to taper off this afternoon but minneapolis will remain in a winter storm warning until 6:00 tonight. blowing and drifting snow is also possible this evening when winds pick up. we've had snow all season. this is one of the biggest storms of the year. the storm is dumping wet, heavy snow which can be a very strenuous activity for those not used to shoveling. flights have been canceled to
7:02 am
places like chicago and while drivers have to deal with the amount of snow they're hopeful that the overnight work will make things a little less slippery. >> david bernard is tracking this storm as it heads towards the northeast. david, how bad is this snowquester going to get? >> it looks like it's pretty bad, norah. we have a band of moderate to heavy snow from minneapolis, as you just saw, and this is rapidly building towards the chicago area. it's going to be a tough day and nice there. that's where some of the heavy snow is going to be certainly over the next 12 hours. we can see this stripe here indicating 6 to 12 inches of snow through minneapolis, through chicago, through parts of northern and central indiana is probably where the heaviest snow will be. late tonight, particularly tomorrow the attention shifts to atlanta. right now the dividing line is going to be the i-95 corridor from baltimore to d.c. somewhere along there we could have 6 to 10 inches on either
7:03 am
side of d.c. or baltimore. you head further west into the mountains, into this purple area we'll be measuring the snow possibly one to two feet. again, that will be through tomorrow and then also tomorrow night. now the other part of this storm is the coastal flooding and this could be a big story on the jersey shore into the delmarva as well. there's great concern for major beach erosion and some flooding. obviously those areas are prone to it because of everything because of sandy and the big storm we had just about a month ago. we'll have to watch that possibility. it's too soon to say what's going to happen in new england but i'm not discounting heavy snow there as we go into thursday, but we won't know for sure until tonight or tomorrow morning how much snow could occur there. >> david bernard, thanks. a new cbs poll finds 53% of americans think they will be personally affected by the government's automatic spending cuts. 46% say those cuts are bad for the country overall. 34% think they're good. major garrett is at the white
7:04 am
house. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie and norah. washington's next crisis is a scheduled shut down. everyone says they want to avoid that. house republicans put together a bill that would do that but it would also shield the pent at that gone through some of the ravages of sequestration that could provide a difficult time for president obama as he begins to grapple with realities of the across the board spending cuts. president obama opened the first cabinet meeting and resigned the fact he will now have to preside over across the board spending cuts. he first suggested in the summer of 2011 but never that you it would come to pass. >> i think everybody knows where i stand on this issue. we are going to manage it as best we can to try to minimize the impacts on american families, but it's not the right way for us to go about deficit reduction. >> reporter: as for what's happening with the spending cuts, no visible disruptions, at least not yet. even so the homeland security
7:05 am
secretary said it will dog travelers, where? >> i want to seau hair i want to say lax, i want to say atlanta but i'd have to check. >> reporter: officials at chicago's o'hare and atlanta's hartsfield airport reported no significant delays. air traffic controllers in chicago did say delays are coming and will coincide with federal furloughs. >> we can only put so many airplanes up safely with less people. when you start taking more people away you've got to take those airplanes away. less size less airplanes. >> reporter: one senate democrat is already feeling the heat and wants lawmakers to cut their salaries, now $174,000 a year by the same percentage of federal workers who will lose overtime pay and may have to endure forced time off. >> you're going to dock federal workers then you're going to be docked your own pay. >> in new jersey republican governor chris christie channelled voter frustration with washington as only he can. >> i don't have the first damn idea of what they're doing down
7:06 am
there so i don't understand it. i don't understand why think haven't fixed it already. seems to me it should be pretty easy to fix. real leadership would get this fixed. get everybody in the room and you fix it and you don't let them leave until you fix it. that's what real leadership is not calling a meeting two hours before the thing is going to hit to have a photo op in the driveway of the white house. that's not real leadership. fix it. >> reporter: house speaker john boehner will talk about this new house republican bill in a few minutes. they will seize what they're trying to accomplish. the white house doesn't like that particular approach but at least for now no one in this building is talking about or issuing a veto threat. >> major garrett, thank you. congress could soon have its first bipartisan agreement on gun control since the sandy hook school shootings. the plan does not deal with banning weapons or limiting ammunition. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, norah.
7:07 am
guns are a very controversial topic up here, as you know but gun trafficking is one area that everyone seems to agree the law needs to be improved. so it's not entirely unsurprising that a bipartisan proposal would emerge first when it comes to gun trafficking. the judiciary committee chairman, patrick leahy, a democrat, is working with a team of democrats and republicans on a bill that would stiffen penalties for smuggling guns out and for giving false information when purchasing a weapon. straw purchases would also be labeled as a crime for the first time. straw purchases for those who don't know are when you buy a gun and then give it or sell it to someone else who you know or think might use it to commit a kriempt it's considered the most common form of i will legal gun trafficking. now this bill is just in its infancy. it's still being crafted, but it would be the first bipartisan piece of gun legislation in a very long time. there is another bipartisan group of senators working on a bill to strengthen background checks and they hope to have
7:08 am
that bill ready, norah and charlie, in a couple of weeks. >> nancy cordes thanks. at the vatican cardinals continue their meetings this morning. this morning, they meet to choose a new pope. 74% of catholic americans are optimistic the new pope will be in touch with the needs of catholics today, but that is a drop from 2005 just before benedict was elected. the cardinals have taken an oath of secrecy, sex abuse, claims of destruction and the future of the church are high on the agenda. allen pizzey is at the vatican. allen, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. by late today all but one of the 115 voting cardinals are expected to be here but there are already signs that the process to elect a new pope may take a little longer this time than it has in the recent past. some cardinals arriving today needed body guards to force their way through the waiting press just to get to the congregations, meetings to discuss the problems of the church and where it needs to go
7:09 am
next. canadian cardinal marc would letouellet says the search has widened. > some day i think some day it is to be expected that a pope would come from asia would come from africa, would come from america, it wouldn't be a surprise. nowadays it wouldn't be a surprise. >> reporter: the sistine chapel was formally closed to tourists today to prepare it for the secret vote and special urns for the ballots were put on display. the cardinals may have to huddle there for longer than the 1.8 days they averaged for the last six conclaves. >> i think we're just feeling our way right now in trying to determine what's the best way for us to proceed. remember, there are many of us in this conclave who were not in the last one so this is all unchartered water for many of us. >> reporter: the recurring theme is the sex abuse scandals. scotland's cardinal keith
7:10 am
o'brien has recused himself from the conclave over charges of sexual conduct. the survivor's network of those abused want others to do the same. >> it's hard for catholics, certainly for victims to have faith in this process knowing that many of the men involved are morally compromised. >> reporter: that's unlikely to happen, but several cardinals have said the problem has to feature high on the agenda of choosing a new pope. the cardinals all seem to agree that the next pope will have to be both a good manager and pastor. they're looking for jesus with an mba. charlie, norah? >> allen, what is this about an impost jer trying to sneak into those secret talks? >> reporter: it's one of those nifty little stories we like to get here. a chap put a purple scarf around his waist and wandered in. he tried to disguise himself as a bishop. the swiss guards didn't notice
7:11 am
him. they tend to salute anybody with a dog collar on. he managed to get up to where people are meeting and they said, hey, he's not wearing the right hat and he doesn't have the right clothes on. he was hustled out. apparently no harm done. it was one of those amusing things that lends a little lightness to an otherwise somber situation. >> allen pizzey thank you. this morning north korea is vowing to cancel the decades long cease fire. the threat comes as the u.n. looks to have new sanctions. even china, the north's only major ally joined the u.s. last night in supporting the sanctions. meanwhile, in chien the annual session of parliament is underway. the economic giant is laying out plans for the future and preparing for a new leader. wyatt andrews is in beijing with how these new moves can affect us. >> reporter: it's a gathering of delegates from every corner of china. they are farmers, local bureaucrats, business leaders, and military officers. it's called the national
7:12 am
people's congress but it's all organized by the communist party and the party is worried about its support among the chinese people. party officials are using this grand stage to admit that in the rush to create china's economic miracle they've neglected china's quality of life. china's premiere acknowledged government mismanagement in every aspect of daily life in housing, health care social security, and official corruption when promised an era of reform. nothing has angered china's people quite like this the unprecedented air pollution. for 14 days this year the air in beijing has been dangerous to breathe. and party officials, like spokeswoman fu ying admits it's a problem they have to solve. >> translator: every morning i check for smog and i have two
7:13 am
masks at home she said one for me and one for my daughter. >> the party is using all of these confessions and candor to argue it is listening to these public concerns. the congress will end a week from sunday with the formal anointment of she jinping as china's next budget. >> reporter: there's massive did he have if i sit spending and a big increase in the china's military. it's china's largest military budget in decades. for "cbs this morning" i'm wyatt andrews on at this enin a min square. a high ranking democrat has been fighting unethical behavior. one of the charges against robert menendez may be false. that evidence comes from a woman in the dominican republic. chip reid is on capitol hill. >> reporter: good morning, charlie and norah. that woman said she was once paid to have sex with senator
7:14 am
menendez and she said so in a video. she now says it was all a lie. she never met the senator. it's turned into an ugly war of words and it's hard to tell who is telling the truth. for months new jersey democratic senator robert menendez has adamantly denied charges he hired prostitutes in the doe dominican republic. the bottom line is it's all untrue. >> reporter: now he appears to be getting support from an unlikely source. a woman who said she appeared in a video, she changed her story monday saying she read the comments from a script after being recruited by a lawyer. >> reporter: in a court affidavit the 23-year-old said the well-known recording that appeared on the internet is of me and of my words but this recording does not represent the truth. i never slept with menendez. >> this woman says that it was all a ploy, that she was hired under the impression that she was going to be providing
7:15 am
testimony in a divorce case and she had no idea this was going to take the proportion it took. >> reporter: just days before menendez' successful re-election, the conservative website, "the daily caller" had video of two women alleging he hired them as prostitutes. they claimed the woman who surfaced monday was not one of the two prostitutes the "daily caller" interviewed for a november 1st report. have i nisio is a lawyer. the fbi has been conducting an investigation into the charges against menendez. >> it's been several months and there's been many, many eye balls on this case. so far those allegations, you know, have been very very hard to coreroboratecorroborate. >> reporter: senator menendez's office had no comment.
7:16 am
we could not reach the washington post. senator menendez still faces a senate ethics investigation. charlie and norah. >> chip reid. thank you. time to show you this morning's headlines. the orlando sentinel salesman slaughter charges have been filed in the band member death. he died after a hazing in 2011. >> u.s.a."usa today" says gunshot wounds are driving up the cost of health care. new study says shootings cost americans at least $12 billion a year, that includes hospital bills, legal and insurance costs. >> the washington post says the white house is backing legislation allows people to unlock their smart phones and tablets. it would allow users to switch wireless networks after their contracts run out. the decision comes after complaints from online activists. "the wall street journal" says the ceo of heinz could leave with a golden parachute. william johnson may walk away from the catchup giant with a
7:17 am
huge amount of money. warren buffet agreed to buy heinz for $23 billion last month. the los angeles times says the melting of sea ice because of global warming could expand the arctic ocean by the middle of this century. that means new shipping lanes coul we're starting out with a few clouds in our skies this morning, more clouds on the way. and yes, we have a storm headed in our direction. outside right now, it is dry into san jose, a lot of clouds there at this time. but as we head throughout the day we'll see more of that toward the afternoon. the temperatures in the 30s and 40s right now. the winds picking up this afternoon, as well. and that's when we are seeing rain moving into parts of the north bay. spreading to the south throughout the evening hours and overnight tonight. showers likely to continue into tomorrow, maybe some thunderstorms on thursday. dry though for the weekend. >> announcer: this national weather report sponsored by the one and only dairy queen

we're getting a better look at the deadly sinkhole in california. it's 30 feet wide and 60-feet deep and swallowed 37-year-old jeff bush last week. workers have finished tearing down the home. officials say it's too dangerous to try to retrieve the body. welcome back. one of the wildest political races in the country is taking place in south carolina. that's where a congressional campaign is bringing a rich cast of characters. jan crawford has some of the better known names. >> reporter: good morning. south carolina known for its politics but this race may top them all. we went to charleston the other day to find out what was going on. let me tell you it is a free for all. you have this huge group of
7:29 am
colorful, controversial characters, and they're slugging it out for one congressional seat. charleston, south carolina, seems luke a gentile, refined kind of place until the subject is politics. specifically the city's special election featuring 18 candidates all slugging it out for the state's open congressional seat. on the republican side, two stand out. >> how are you doing? >> reporter: there's the political novice high school economics teacher teddy turner. the son, you guessed it of eccentric media mogul ted turner. >> people won't let you -- me escape it. >> reporter: and then there's the establishment candidate, disgraced former governor mark sanford, seeking redemption. >> i never failed in life. it's significant. i -- you know i failed mightily. >> reporter: sanford is a
7:30 am
front-runner despite his public admission of an affair which prompted his wife to life the governor's mansion with their four sons and divorce him. he consulted all of them before deciding to run for the seat he once held. >> they said, no you got to do it. here's a chance for you to try and make a difference and you ought to. here i am. >> reporter: the other candidates aren't as forgiving like turner, who used to work for the media company his father founded and sounds almost as outspoken. >> give him one more chance? >> break up with career politicians. the right guy, teddy turner. >> i have no problem with him being unfaithful. that's between his ex-wife and the good lord. what he did do was abandon the state. what he did do is become the highest fined politician in south carolina history. >> reporter: on the democratic side, one candidate brings her own unique star power. >> my name is elizabeth colbert bush. not colbert? >> no, colbert bush.
7:31 am
some of my brothers and sisters some say colbert and some say colbert. >> reporter: the oldest sister of comedian stevenphen colbert. >> holy cow, my sister -- [ cheers ] >> as a broadcast journalist, i am obligated to maintain pure objectivity. it doesn't matter that my sister is intelligent, hard working, compassionate, and dedicated to the people of south carolina. [ cheers ] >> reporter: a single mother of three and a businesswoman, colbert-bush now works for clemson university and, like san storied, knows struggle. >> had i was a young girl i lost my father and two brothers it was a deep sudden loss in a plane crash. when i came home, i saw the most powerful wonderful courageous woman -- my mother. even your struggles become a blessing. this is what my mother told me, keep one foot in front of the
7:32 am
other. he asked his ex-wife, jenny, to run his campaign. she declined but he told me that everything he went through, his public humiliation, that's made him, he says a more humble compassionate person. he says that's going to make him a better lawmaker. we'll see if the voters agree. sanford is expected to face the republican runoff in april. the republican and democrat will then face off in may. charlie and nora? >> great story. jan crawford thank you. we sat down yesterday with former florida governor jeb bush. he has a new book out called "immigration wars: forging an american solution." it is published by simon and shuster, a division of cbs. we asked if republicans need to reach out to women and minorities if they want to take back the white house. >> absolutely. i mean, you know one thing is to say we win off-year elections, that's great and that's true. but in the presidential races, you have significantly larger number of people voting. and you have to make sure that
7:33 am
their voice is heard and that your message, you know is for everybody. and i think this is solvable. i don't think this is a -- an impossible task. wasn't that long ago people were writing off the democratic party. now it's premature to write off the republican party. >> your brother got 44% of the hispanic vote. mitt romney got 27% of the hispanic vote. in his first post-election interview, he said the reason that minorities voted for obama was because of obama care. do you agree with that? >> no, i don't. i don't. i think that if you send a signal that we want your vote but you can't join our club, can't be on our team, you're not going to get as many people as you'd like. >> what was wrong with romney's message? >> it was not an open message. it was one that you know for a guy as good as he could have been as president, i think he got off in the primary, got off to the wrong start and never really recovered.
7:34 am
look, this guy, it's not -- this is not a problem of mitt romney's. romney's a good decent man. i wish he was president of the united states today. it's a problem of our -- of the conservative movement and of the republican party. >> people wish that you would be the nominee in 2016. where do you stand on that process? >> i have decided not to think about it for a while. and i have the discipline to do that. so that's what i'm -- that's the status. in the interim, i hope to have a voice that i can share views that might be -- >> when do you have to start thinking about it? after the mid terms in 2000 -- >> maybe around then. i haven't figured that part out yet. but i've figured out that i don't want to think about it now. >> it's interesting that you're not ruling it out. >> i'm not ruling it out. that, i guess, is interesting. i don't find it interesting, but it's -- you know it's just something that will have to happen later on, not now. >> the book is getting a lot of attention not only because of
7:35 am
jeb bush's political future but his position on immigration which some people say he's changed. he told you a while back that he supported a pathway to citizenship. now he's talking more it a pathway to residency, more in line with what marco rubio and others -- >> picking up on that and looking at the book. >> exactly. we'll have more with jeb bush. he gives us an update on his father's health. we talk about the painting prowess of his brother, former president george w. bush. that's ahead on "cbs this morning." and it's hard to think of a crossing more colorful than the san francisco golden gate bridge. now one of its neighbors, the bay bridge, could be stealing attention. john blackstone shows us the spectacular light sculpture debuting tonight. >> reporter: above san francisco bay last night, the bay bridge sparkled and shimmered light moving across the nearly two-mile span. on a balcony nearby artist leo villareal creates from his laptop using software to sculpt
7:36 am
patterns of light. >> i guess my goal is to create a communal experience. the piece almost becomes like a digital campfire that people can gather around. >> reporter: he is putting the final touches on "bay lights," a work of art that will be officially turned on tonight. villareal's constantly changing light sculpture will run for the next two years. it's as if the wires there are alive alive. >> it does bring a sense of life and animation to the bridge. >> reporter: electricians endured four months of cold nights attaching 2,000 l.e.d. lights on the bridge cables. it's transforming the bay bridge that opened in 1936 but was quickly overshadowed when the more elegant golden gate opened five months later. for more than 75 years the golden gate has been a show show horse. the bay bridge a workhorse. >> the bridges have a slight rivalry. this is a hard working bridge. 28 8,000 trips a day.
7:37 am
i think everybody feels the same way, that this beautiful work of humanity has its moment to shine. >> reporter: ben davis led the fundraising for the $8 million project and brought in villareal, an artist already recognized for large-scale light sculptures but never anything this big. >> it doesn't require an art degree or anything else. just requires being a human to really appreciate it. >> reporter: so many people are expected to appreciate it it's projected to generate nearly $100 million in the local economy. and become a tourist attraction to rival the golden gate. at least at night. for "cbs this morning," john blackstone, san francisco. and do memory foam mattresses give you a better night's sleep? that's one of the questions "consumer reports" put to the test. results ahead on "cbs this morning."

magazine. welcome. >> thank you. >> so the top inner spring inner spring mattress is the simmons beauty rest. what makes it stand snout. >> this provided the very very best of any side support of a mattress we've tested so far. this is ongoing, it's 12 so far but it will grow. freedom of movement, freedom of bouncing from one end to the other so you won't be awakened by a restless sleeper on the other side. those are good and a great price, under $800. >> what about the top memory foam mattress? >> the tempurpedic. it did very very well. the foam can have a sinking sensation. that's the thing. memory foam surround and envelopes you. it can make movement hard. that's a critical problem because most of us shift positions several times. this one made it easy and also again, didn't bounce. those are two great attributes -- >> more spine support? >> here's the deal. that one did very, very well there. what you want is you want the spine to allow the natural

curvature when you're on your back. when you're on your side a bed should keep the spain fairly parallel. this way you don't wake one aches and pains. the most important thing any mattress can supply, that was good for. that all our top picks were good for both. >> what about people looking for the best value for an inexpensive mattress? >> we have one that was only -- a little over $400. a sealy. it wasn't a pick it did provide really impressive back support. the problem there is that it was -- it was really bouncy. and so this is a mattress for those who sleep alone. you know this way if you don't have anyone sleeping with you, it's probably an okay choice. but it really wasn't our top pick. >> why did "consumer reports" do the study? i know when you buy a mattress and go to a lot of different stores, it's hard to tell which is the best mattress. there's no real information to compare them. is that why you did this? >> mostly yes because mattress shopping can be even tougher than shopping for a car. they do make price comparisons

it will be unveiled this month. the fbi released files on whitney houston. there are 128 pages of documents that show houston was a victim of several cases of attempted extortion. it appears her father paid someone off to stay quiet about her romantic life. it includes threatening letters. "the dallas morning news" says the national rifle association is sponsoring a nascar race. the nra 500 will be held in april at the texas motor speedway. the head of the speedway says it's not a political platform but a sports marketing opportunity. and the "wall street journal" looks at stress in the workplace. 1/3 of workers suffer chronic stress related to work. women have higher levels of stress than men. women are more likely to feel underappreciated and underpaid. >> and that's in part why we're beginning this morning. our week-long series "eye opening women." we're talking to women blazing a trail in their respective industries. women have been going to college at the same rate as men for about 30 years, yet 4% of fortune 500 companies have
8:30 am
female ceos, and women make up just 14% of executives. with us are arianna huffington president and editor-in-chief of the "huffington post," bobbi brown, founder and chief creative officer of bobbi brown cosmetics, and tina brown, editor-in-chief of "newsweek" and the dale -- "the daily beast" and part of the women to work summit. there's not any educational disparity for the most part at the top. why are there so few women, do you think, in leadership positions, tina? >> i do think we're stalled in the whole debate. and that whole facts we're somewhat stalled. as i see it, women keep feeling impeded by existing structures. what really is better is if women start their own structures. we're sitting here with two other women who have actually done that. don't wait in a sense for strait of juan de fuca -- wait in a sense structures to approach
8:31 am
you. women at this table have done that and very successfully. i think that's a better way for women to go. >> be more entrepreneurial? will. >> create your own culture and your own patterns of hiring and developing. >> i think a lot of people with making choices unlike men don't have to make choices like staying home with the kids. we're more concerned, how do we do this, how do we balance it. men don't have to worry. i think more companies should offer more support for women that have kids. >> arianna, part of the debate is sparked by cheryl sandberg, ceo of facebook is coming out with a book called "lean in." she has a new take on an old problem. it's not just the institutional things, sexism that exists. it's women themselves that hold themselves back. do you agree? >> absolutely. and also having read sharon's book and -- cheryl's book and those who are criticizing it, she makes it clear that there is institutional bias standing in women's way. there is discrimination. there is a double standard. but also we women are holding
8:32 am
ourselves back. in another book, the obnoxious roommate living in our head who's constantly criticizes us tells us we're not good enough pretty enough, smart enough. and those words are much louder in women's heads than in men's heads. so cheryl's book deals with those voices. and it's very important for all of us to deal with them. at the same time especially after you just showed the "wall street journal" piece on stress i think it's important for women to reach success differently. not just to enter the workplace and reach success the way men did it which meant working around the clock, burning themselves out, ending up with what we're seeing already with women, 40% higher incidence of cardio disease among women and higher rate of diabetes. this is not a price worth paying. i think we should lean in and lean back in order to recharge ourselves and lean in again. >> i think it's important for women to be supportive of other
8:33 am
women in the workplace. we had a brief conversation how uncomfortable high heels were. we were -- we all wear heels when we go to a party. >> it is the burden of that inner perfectionist that you're talking about. >> it is. >> have you noticed how smart i am when women look -- >> you know, what about that argument? there has been such a backlash to cheryl sandberg's book. a backlash to marisa meyer, ceo of yahoo!, who just recently announced no telecommuting blanket. i mean, is that -- is that the kind of policy that helps women who want to work from home and men who want to work from home? >> first of all, i think it's terrific, by the way, that there is an explosion of debate. finally things are subterranean and then all of a sudden it comes bursting out like a geyser. in the case of marisa meyer, i think she was talking about her own company. she needs to get her company together and rebrand it and get everyone out there. i don't think she really deserved the kind of huge attack that she got.
8:34 am
i think maternity sleeve a very interesting case. i personally needed maternity leave when my daughter was 15. the notion that we take six months off and come back into the war zone i actually think that should be rethought. maybe maternity leave should be a month at the beginning, a month when they're 1 1/2, a month -- i mean, there's something to be said for staggering that. >> it's also important to work for a company that really supports a working woman or working mom. honestly, nobody has to lie and say i wasn't there in the morning -- >> and there are more companies doing that. >> yes. >> a growing effort by companies including target including google, of course. but even in middle america, offering nap rooms as we do meditation and yoga exercises. anything that would reduce stress in the course of the day. >> are women supportive of each other? are women mentoring other women? >> not enough. not enough. some are, and i think that often you have to realize when women are being mean to another woman is's because she's insecure. >> and tina and i having known

each other since our days at oxford and cambridge have dealt with that. the minute she launched "the daily beast, "everybody would try and say something to me that's negative or fight. women have to go out of their way to avoid what is expected to engage -- >> cat fight, it's incredibly boring. i think that women are often dependent on other women. my success came from my mother. my mother came to america and lived with us and helped me with the children. i think we depend a lot on that frankly, on other women being supportive of one another. >> a lot of women in our respective age groups have raised a question about millennial women are they ambitious enough? is there an ambition gap? are you concerned? >> i don't think there's an ambition gap. but they do want to do it differently. i spoke last week at etsy.com which has a lot of women who are making things. and then selling them through etsy. and the way they put it is they want to make a life not just a
8:36 am
living. they do have different priorities. and we need to encourage them, not criticize them. >> i think there's a lot of choices for women. there is. a lot of women are starting their own businesses. a lot of women are doing flex-time at companies. there are choices. maybe that's not why there are as many women that are ceos because they're making lifestyle choices. and i think that's okay. >> do you think women bring different skills to the table? >> no. >> i think they do. >> i don't. >> i not there's a lot of collaborative emotional content and so on that women can bring to -- >> sometimes women leaders are tougher than men leaders because they think they have to be. >> i think women are bringing different skills in terms of collaboration, nurturing. but also evolved men like charlie have those skills, too. >> we share a lot of same skills, yes. tina bobbi,arianna, thank you very much. we hold hands a lot, too. our "eye opening" series begins tomorrow with valerie

jarrett and more. we'll talk to angie hicks and caroline kennedy all this week on "cbs this morning." former florida governor jeb bush has a new book out called "grims wars: forging an american solution," published by simon and shuster, a division of cbs. we asked him about george h.w. bush's health. >> so how your dad doing? >> he's doing better, better. frail. he's an 88-year-old guy. so he's not the way he once was. but he's doing significantly better. he's got a fantastic caregiver, my mom, who's keeping him in shape, that's for sure. >> and then finally, we learned that your brother the former president, has now taken up painting. >> yes, he is. i don't know what to say about that -- >> were you surprised? >> yeah. i was very surprised. he takes everything seriously. it's just not the thing that i immediately thought that he would be doing. he's -- >> he never showed this penchant for art before? >> never.

the mission shows the increasing role private enterprise is playing in space exploration. neil degrasse tyson is an astrophysicist and director of new york's hayden planetarium. his book "space chronicles" is available in paperback. we're pleased to have him here. >> thanks for having me back. >> thank you. what does this mean, private enterprise for the future of nasa on the one hand and space exploration on the other? >> that's an excellent question. first, this should have been happening decades ago. let me naught on the table. -- put that on the table. nasa doesn't need to use its own resources to get to low earth orbit. it had been going there since 1962. if we think of nasa as a space agency that is leading a frontier that's where you discover what patents necessary to do what's never been done before. and once that has happened, you cede that to private enterprise which in every case in past has done it measure efficiently. -- more efficiently.
8:42 am
and doneentrepreneur dennis tito has announced he wants to send a married couple to mars by 2018. what do you think the chances of that are? >> personally i think they're low. the takeaway sheer that if nobody else is doing it he's going to want to do it. so it's a -- it's telling how deep the sentiment is within a population that has the resources to want to do it. the difference between the dennis tito case is of course that's not a business model. it's more a stunt. if you have the money and you want to do it, you can try to do it. i think it's a wake-up call to the rest of us. if countries aren't going to do it, if people want to do it whether or not the nations do. >> can we put a man or woman on mars, and should we? >> i think when you do things like that, people always ask, what's the return on that what's the spinoff? it's not even about that. it's what force does that operate. and what way does that force operate on our culture. you have to innovate to make that happen. that makes a hone. and people see these headlines daily. that's what happened in the '60s. every next mission was more
8:43 am
ambitious than the previous one. when you -- when that's the case, the press talks about it. farther, faster longer. >> if you had a moon project, the idea as president kennedy said we'll put a man on the moon in the next ten years, what would it be? >> the project would be let's put a person wherever they want to go in the entire solar system. it's not let's go here now and we'll think about the rest of discovery later. let's go everywhere. line up a suite of launch vehicles. the scientist want to go back to mars, asteroid -- >> where would your curious mind make you want to go? >> as a scientist, i want to go ice fishing on europa which has a thick encrusted ice sheath on its top, but it's kept warm by gravitational stresses of jupiter. there might be life down there. >> we talk on this show about that asteroid which you said buzz cut and is going around. >> yeah. >> you think it's going to come back and hit us? >> you do the calculation, it will. >> when? >> al asteroids whose orbit cross that was the earth will
8:44 am
eventually collide with earth. you want to catalog as many as possible so you can project as as far into the future as you can when they'll hit so that you can do something about it. and i hope that which we do about it is not run. that we are motivated enough using our space resources to do something about it. my favorite cartoon, one dinosaur says to the other, now is the time to build the asteroid defense system. [ laughter ] >> we need it. i know. wow. fascinating. >> great to see you. >> thank you. >> keep looking up. and shaq o'neal is in studio. we'll talk about dennis rodman's trip to north korea, the future of the nba and shaq's new television show next on "cbs this morning."
