8:01 am
>> is this even enforceable? it's the states that control insurance. >> right. so there's the political problem and the policy problem. the political problem is what they're trying to put to bed here. >> the government here in tacloban is virtually paralyzed. the relief is starting to make its way to those affected by this typhoon. >> our position is that assad cannot stay. >> oh, yeah that's our position. >> the midair mystery. the search this morning for a passenger who suddenly disappeared from a plane off the coast of florida. >> you say you have a passenger that fell out of your plane? >> that's correct, sir. he opened the back door and he just fall down the plane. >> we were a very confident country. we believed in our leaders. we believed in our institutions but it's really a time that america lost its innocence. >> by the time we look back on this next year that people are going to say this is working well. >> let me be clear. when i said end of november, i did not say which november.

some remote areas still aren't getting relief supplies. officials hope to reach those areas today. we've been showing you the destruction in tacloban. a gas station reopened there for the first time since the storm, the biggest challenge in that region is restoring electricity. big changes are coming to china. the official news agency says that china will loosen its one-child policy. couples will be allowed to have two children if one of the parents is an only child. the one-child policy slowed population growth in the nation of 1.3 billion people but it has left china with an aging population. china's president and other leaders are very concerned there will not be enough workers to support all of those retirees. china now says it's abolishing its infamous labor camps. they've been used to re-educate opponents of the ruling communist party. according to the recent estimate the world has more than 2,000 billionaires. many of them are being asked to give half their fortunes to charity. the giving pledge was created by

gil gates his wife and warren buffett. they say the superwealthy need to make a big commitment. >> the gates have already committed to giving 95% of their ealth away. warren buffett 99%. they say that kind of extreme giving is needed because the rich have been getting so much richer. tech innovations and rising global markets have produced vast fortunes not seen since the industrial revolution. so what does warren buffett say to convince today's billionaires to give their fortunes away? >> incremental wealth. adding to the wealth they have now has no real utility to them. but that wealth has incredible utility to other people. it can educate children it can vaccinate children. it can do all kinds of things. >> reporter: there are people that i know say i want to give it to my children. that's what i want to do. what's wrong with that? >> i don't really think that as
8:06 am
a society we want to confer blessings on generation after generation that contribute nothing to society simply because somebody in the far distant past happened to amass a great deal of wealth. >> reporter: so far billionaires have bought the document and signed the giving pledge. ages range from 27 to 98. some inherited wealth but most are self-made. their businesses range from technology and social media to pizza, hair care and home improvement. combined pledges so far over a half a trillion dollars. what conditions are there? i mean can they say, yes, i'm with you i'm here but i want to give it to this institution or that institution? >> no. >> we're not endorsing any flavor of philanthropy. we do think we're all going to be smarter and do it better learning from each other, but there's no pooling of money, and we celebrate the diversity of
8:07 am
philanthropy. >> what's interesting about this list of people who have signed on to the pledge includes a lot of people that we know very famous to viewers, michael bloomberg and others. and it's spreading around the world. the net worth of all these people and their commitment to give half of their money, minimum half is growing and it's extraordinary in terms of its power. >> where is it making real change already, where they've given money to? >> bill gates is a perfect example. the fact that he is doing what he's doing in global health. a lot of other people in terms of health in terms of social entrepreneurship, a whole range of issues that impact on people. >> i think people will see, i want to do that. >> that's the hope getting beyond billionaires. you can see this interview with warren buffett, bill and melinda

former president mitt romfully and his wife ann are finding new ways to engage. she is a best-selling author. we're pleased to have them back in studio 57. we're pleased to see you. >> thank you. >> you said you're going do business with your kids and talk about the republican party which we want to talk about. but first, one year later, is there anything within you that you want to say to the american people, i tell you so? >> well, i think a lot of people recognize the flaws in the obama care product, not just its implementation but the more fundamental flaw which is the president promised people could keep their plans. that promise was not accurate,
8:18 am
it was not honest and the whole foundation of his second term, i think, is in jeopardy as a result of that. >> at the same time they look at what happened in massachusetts and they said look massachusetts had problems with their rollout too, give it time. >> actually the real problem with the president's plan is not just the rollout. that's implementation and glitches of various kinds. it should have been done better but it wasn't. the real problem is the broken promise, the dishonesty. that's what's really striking. >> it's more that than bad management. >> sure. obviously the systems aren't working and they're frustrated but when the systems are working, millions of people will still lose the insurance they don't want. they're being asked to buy policies they don't want at prices they can't afford. >> do you think the president lied for personal gain? >> i think the president understands. he under they would loose their insurance.
8:19 am
that was the nature of the entire product that they put forward. they knew that but they said well, you can keep your insurance, period and -- >> characterize that. >> it's dishonest. what starts twisted stays twisted and it's not going to be fixed until we fundamentally reshape obama care or repeal it or reform it. by the way back in our state, the implementation was slow on purpose because we rolled out the effective dates of the program such that there was time to iron out the software problems that would make it be more smooth as larger and larger groups of people survived. >> i know you're both involved in the future of the republican party as well. the republican party has lost the vote in five of the last six presidential elections. how does the party need to change? >> well, the party needs to nominate people who we think has the best prospect of winning and we have to do a better job of communicating our message to the broader folks than we have in the last.
8:20 am
the campaign place where i fell short was probably in being able to speak openly and effectively in minority population. we didn't get as many african-american votes or hispanic. by the way across the board, we need to do a better job explaining why it is our policy will lead to higher wages, better health care and better schools. >> would you say now the republican party the house of representatives john boehner should put forth an immigration plan that provides a pathway to citizenship? i i'm absolutely convinced they must deal with immigration and i do believe those who come here illegally ought to have an opportunity to get in line with everybody else. i don't think those who come here el legally should jump to the front of the line or be given a special deal but i think they should have a chance just like anybody else to get in line and to become a citizen if they'd like to do so. >> paul ryan did an interview recently and he said about you,
8:21 am
governor, that he sees your role in the republican party as an elder statszman. he called you a unifier. how do you see your role in the republican party? you, too, mrs. romney. >> i like the statesman apartment i don't like the elder part. >> i was wondering. >> i'm afraid it applies. what i'd like to do over the coming few years is make sure our party adopts processes that nominate people who connect with the largest number of voters. i'm concerned about a trend as opposed to primaries. i want more people to be involved in the process because i want conservatives to win. not just to fight, but to win because the country's in the balance. i'm very concerned on everything from health care to education to debt policies and spending we're on a track which is making america weaker and the world needs a strong america, and our children need a strong america. >> do the two of you ever think
8:22 am
i wish we were in the white house? i wish that we were there? >> i have to tell you very honestly i'm very frustrated because i know mitt would have been a fantastic president. he's an amazing leader. he has great executive experience. and it's frustrating for me to sit by and watch. >> and in agreement you said i wish people could see how funny he is. look he's very funny. >> he's frustrated. >> very. >> who do you like? who do you like ann romney, for the next 2016? do you like ted cruz? do you like chris christie? >> you know, i think we'll sort through those things. there's a wonderful -- chris and mary pat are great friends of ours. i admire. he's great leader. paul ryan we adore. i don't know if he'll run. with don't even know who's going to run. >> and jeb bush. >> but you know what -- >> would you, governor romney? >> you know, it was a fabulous experience. i loved it. but we're not doing it again.
8:23 am
>> but, but, but there are reports you were reluctant to win. other people in the family were more in favor of it than you. >> this for me was not about i want to be president and have the secret service around and live in the big white house. this for me was about getting country on the right track and the question i had was can i win and am i the person most effective to get the country back on track. as long as i was concerned about winning should i be supporting someone else with a better chance. >> can i say something about christie since this new book came out, "double down," in which information was leaked about the investigate process. i heard you called christie and apologized. what did you say to him? >> i was very upset that the vet progress says had a leak in it that that individual released confidential information embarrassed me and my campaign. i told him i'm very sorry.
