8:03 am
is white or black. >> new york city police commissioner bill bratton is with us this morning. good morning. >> good morning. >> do these remarks by the head of the fbi resonate and will they have impact? >> it does resonate both in terms of what he said and more importantly who said it. the head of the fbi, well respected by law enforcement and respected by minority communities. they rely on the federal govrnment so much. what was said as well as who was saying it. >> where do you go from these remarks be i the fbi resonating to communities across the country? >> well, the good news is what he said is really nothing new about that. police chiefs, major cities' police chiefs have been speaking to these inconvenient truths if you will for a number of years, but now to be able to align ourselves with the head of the fbi and to take these conversations into the broader communities because one of the things he said -- this is not
8:04 am
just about police bias or racism. it's about societal racism. we all have it, whether we're white, we're black. these are important truths to speak to. >> is there an urgency about it? >> there certainly is. i think the events in ferguson, new york, there's an urgency ironically in the sense we've been wrestling with this for 300 years. since the beginning of our nation, the issues coming out of slavery. but the urgency now is that we seem to have reached a tipping point once again as we did back in the '60s, as we did in the early '90s, where we need to face up to this. with leadership like the directors and american police chiefs, certainly, they're moving in that direction, this could be a very interesting and positive time for us. >> i once heard a law enforcement officer say it may be awful but it's lawful. are you familiar with that phrase? >> yes. >> you are the prominent police official i'm quoting.
8:05 am
comey quoted in his speech, in the words of bill bratton, we need to see each other. what's the point that you want us all to get that we keep missing? >> we need to understand the perspective of the police officer, we need to understand the perspective of the man of color who feels he is not being treated fairly. we need to see each other, hear each other, engage in dialogue rather than rhetoric. there's too much rhetoric around these issues. we need to find a way as we do here sit around the table and hash it out. >> i have to say, new york city hasn't seen a murder in 11 days. that's a record. >> shhh. we don't want to jinx it. >> that's a record. >> we're on our 12th day. 11 is a record but let's keep going. >> good to see you, commissioner. thank you for coming. >> it is the of the year to put the petals to the metal. vicente arenas goes to south america. 50 million roses. commissioner, are you aware it's

they arrive after an amazing journey. he's in chapel hill, north carolina. that's a long way. vicente arenas, good morning. >> reporter: hey, good morning to you. you know, getting these flowers here so fast and fresh is no easy task. these roses came from bogota, colombia, passion growers more than 2,000 miles from here. this morning we take you to that flower farm to show you how they can get here so quickly. an hour west of bogota near the andes mountains lies one of the largest flower farms near colombia. here busy workers harvest and process 30 millioin flowers for valentine's day. how many of these roses are going to the united states? >> 100%. >> all of them. >> all of them. >> this is the man in charge. >> at this moment we have 1,000 workers. >> 1,000 workers. >> yes. because we need to harvest approximately 50% of our whole year's production in a 10 to 15-day period.
8:13 am
>> reporter: in vast green houses roses are carefully inspected down to the petal before being cut and bundle and then pulled across the farm 5,000 at a time. >> now we need to process them and get them out there in the best possible condition. >> reporter: that means keeping them cold all the way to the store starting the moment they're loaded on the truck. these flowers are off to bogota's airport where box after box of flowers from farms all over the country are bound for the united states. on the tarmac, crates of dry packed flowers stacked 8 feet tall are trucked, lifted, and squeezed into every inch of this chilled boeing 767. >> we're loading about 60 pounds of flowers. that's about 3,000 boxes. >> that's 300,000 roses. about a million dollars worth all packed in 90 minutes.

lan cargo flies about a third of its flowers in time for valentine's day. >> there's wives, girlfriends, fiancees looking at their flowers. if their flowers don't look good, you don't want to be blamed. >> i think this interview could be risky. now people know we could be responsible for that. >> that's a lot of pressure. >> every hour we waste, it's an hour less that the person will enjoy the flowers. >> to keep up with the demand the airline doubles its flower flights from bogota to 40 a week. 91% of all flowers imported into the u.s. come through here. that's 22 million a day. the flowers have to be unloaded quickly to get them out of the florida heat. >> the cold, the temperature is critical.

therefore it takes probably i'd say no more than five minutes for the flowers to get into the warehouse. >> reporter: once inside the 40 degree warehouse, samples from every flight are inspected by federal agents. >> and this i'm told is called spanking the flowers. >> correct. we look first for any signs on the leaves for disease or any insects on the leaves. but there's so many leaves it's hard to look at them all. so we hit them. >> reporter: one bad bug could hold up the entire farm's shipment. then off to the retailers all over the country. waiting for them is joann who is waiting for the flowers. >> this is our super bowl of flowers. we plan all year long and it's finally here and very exciting. >> reporter: right away they're given a much needed drink of water.

"american sniper" has made more money than any other picture combined but some critics say it glorifies war. i talked last night with bradley cooper and screen writer jason hall. >> what did you want to say about war? >> you know, i have to say, charlie, if i'm going to be honest, i wanted to say -- my task was very simple as a
8:33 am
producer, somebody who wanted to tell the story, not just play chris. it was to be as truthful as we could to tell this man's story. that was it. it was a simple chore. i think you would agree with that. it's for someone else to watch and take what they take. if we could get a kernel of what it was like for chris to be in those situations that somebody at home has no idea, that then we could sort of translate that experience because that experience is not one that i really know or many other people don't know. >> it's personal, you know. if you tell his story in a very intimate way, it becomes personal. and instead of just saying, war is hell, war is human and it takes a singular toll on this man and his family. >> just tell me. tell me why you do it. >> and to explore that from the driver's seat of this guy's life then allows you to see how human it is and what exactly it costs. >> why is this film done so well
8:34 am
other than the brilliant acting and screenplay. what's connected out there that's resonated so that there's a diverse audience and this film may gross more than $350 million or $360 million. >> you never know. you don't know what the reason is. if i had to take a guess, my hope is the reason is there's a sense of truth in the film, that people when they're watching it think that they're actually watching this man and this woman and the other characters. they don't just see, oh, he's doing a good job acting. >> i just want to get the bad guy. if i can't see him, i can't shoot him. >> do you think it's part of a longing for heroes in america? >> i think people are ready to examine what heroes go through and hopefully, you know, there's some fatigue of the capes and the tights. [ laughter ] >> bradley cooper talking about

"american sniper." you can see bradley cooper this sunday on "60 minutes." he talked with steve kroft about his toughest role. that's on sunday on cbs. >> that movie is resonating. you can see it's going gangbusters. >> of all things bradley cooper, why was his hair sticking out? >> he came from the theater. >> oh. >> a very busy man. >> a canadian man and his daughter are recovering after a life-saving surgery. he donated part of his liver to his 3-year-old. it's not over yet. the little girl's twin sister also needs a transplant. >> reporter: joann and michael wagner adopted these two twins from vietnam two years ago, knowing they had a disease that could be terminal. the twins have alagille syndrome. it causes failure of the liver.
8:36 am
>> we promised we would do everything in our power to make everything okay. >> after arriving in canada the girls' health deteriorated further. they need new livers to survive. this winter they were put on a transplant list along with 15 -- 1500 others. then the bittersweet news. their father michael is a match but living donors can only give part of their liver once. they left it to science to decide who gets it. doctors said foo-foo needed it most. tuesday after michael's six-hour procedure in toronto his organ was hand delivered to the children's hospital across the street. there doctors worked on his daughter for seven more hours. the transplant was a success. >> thank you, michael, for giving, offering the best present ever to our daughter. >> reporter: now the family is
8:37 am
searching for donor number two. more than 400 strangers from spain to new zealand have volunteered as potential donors. dr. levy is sorting through all the applicants. he's optimistic he'll find a match in the coming weeks. >> when i meet these remarkable people, i would argue the gift that they give is just so magnanimous, the price is worth it. >> reporter: with her husband and daughter in recovery, joann says she's both relieved and proud. >> i've often compared it to a bunch of pencils. if you take one pencil and try to break it, it's very easy. but if you put them together and tie them up and try to break them at once, you're going to have a hard time. >> reporter: they hope their story inspires others to give strangers the gift of life. for "cbs this morning," adriana diaz. >> their story will do exactly that. >> i hope so. it already has. >> i hope so too. building different kinds of

8:42 am
"fifty shade of grey" opens today and charlie rose and jeff glor cannot wait. >> cannot wait to see gayle king's reaction. >> don't drag us into this. >> hundreds of scheduled showings are already sold out. vinita nair shows us how theaters are not the only businesses cashing in. hello, vinita. report they are not alone. so many cannot wait for it to become open. it is officially open right now. "fifty shades of grey" argue ably one of the most hyped movies in a decade. so many marketers want a little peace of that buzz, but are fans ready to buy what they're selling. nicky adamson and her friends all work together at a home improvement store in edwardsville, illinois. they started reading "fifty shades of grey" together and almost all of them have the same reaction. >> it was very difficult to stop reading it once you got into it. >> and then you think you have to go to sleep, okay?
8:43 am
>> reporter: so when they heard the book was being made into a movie, they decided they had to go see it. >> this is definitely the steamiest i've ever read. >> i'm excited for it. >> i know this are parts in there that are very, very x-rated. i'm thinking, surely they're not going to show that part, you know. >> reporter: it's that part that's put it on fandango's top five. while the company doesn't reveal presale figures they expect it to gross more than $60 million. that doesn't even account for the slew of spin-off products everything from nail polish to teddy bears to scantily clad cookies. but it's adult toys where retailers are expecting more. robert is president of jimmie james an adult products manufacturer. what exactly is in the kit? >> well, in the kit comes a blind fold, two leather cuffs with silk restraints. >> reporter: following the
8:44 am
novel's release, sales of toys, videos, and books spiked 75%. that same year adults spent $1 billion on adult entertainment. but he said those numbers were just foreplay. >> now that the movie's coming out, what do you think is going to happen in terms of growth? >> i think we're looking at hockey stick growth here. going forward. our company alone when the book was introduced we saw 40% growth. we're going to see this become a mainstream category. >> mainstream. >> absolutely. >> while mainstream retailer target already has a 50 shades massage oil and eye mask on its store shelves, belinda says most of these products are just marketers' fantasies. >> i'm actually dubious about the connection between sales of items for the bedroom and the book and the movie.
8:45 am
i think you see a little spike as people's curiosity goes up, but i don't think it's lasting. >> do you think there will ever be a movie like this again? >> oh, yeah. the great thing about the movie is it was one woman's vision. she wrote authentically what she liked and somebody will capture it in this way. there will be absolutely another one but maybe not on this subject. >> reporter: when they make movies off the other two books nicky adamson and her friends said they'll be in the front row. to see it. as for buying the adult products, they say they are not tempted but admit it could be a good tease. >> a gift to give a friend to make it funny, make it fun. if they hold true to the book, you will see a lot of increase on tie sales.
8:46 am
>> reporter: now, the movie has already broken the studio's record for sales in france. and, jeff, 85% of the women and men who say they plan on seeing this movie plan on seeing the remaining two. >> why do you have to toss it back to me. can't you toss it back to gayle? >> i want to see the movie. i'm for letting your freak flag fly but i don't want anybody to get hurt. >> the freak flag. >> i'm going to go see it. >> let your freak flag fly. that's the quote for the day. back in a moment. fly, i just don't want anybody to get hurt. >> back in a moment. g fly.
