congress. a live picture of john kerry. we saw the supreme court this is a cbs news special report. hope francis' visit to america. i'm charlie rhodes with gail king in new york. pope francis is about to make a historic speech at the united states capitol. he is the first pope ever to address a joint meeting of congress. >> francis is about to enter the house chamber. it is packed, as you see, with members of congress, senators and other dignitaries. tens of thousands of people are outside the capitol watching on big tv screens right now. norah o'donnell is on capitol hill. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. make no mistake, this is historic not only because this is the first pope ever to address congress, but think about this. he will be on the tableau
7:01 am
flanked by two catholics, the speaker of the house, john boehner, as well as the vice president of the united states, joe biden. almost a third of congress is catholic. there are four justices of the supreme court there, including three of the six catholics who currently sit on the nine-member court. so you have an incredible show of catholic force in one of the three major branches of government. i think it's worth reflecting on that and the fact that -- we are pausing now because we are going to hear the house sergeant-at-arms introduce and announce the pope of the holy see, pope francis, similar to what we hear on the state of the union.

7:05 am
session of congress in the land of the free and the home of the brave. [ applause ] i would like to think that the reason for this is that i too am a son of this great continent, from which we have all received so much and toward which we share a common responsibility. each son or daughter of a given
7:06 am
country has a mission, a personal and social responsibility. your own responsibility as members of congress is to enable this country, by your legislative activity, to grow as a nation. you are the face of its people, their representatives. you are called to defend and preserve the dignity of your fellow citizens in the tireless and demanding pursuit of the common good, for this is the chief aim of all politics. a political
7:07 am
society endures when it seeks, as a vocation, to satisfy common needs by stimulating the growth of all its members, especially those in situations of greater vulnerability or risk. legislative activity is always based on care for the people. to this you have been invited, called and convened by those who elected you. yours is a work which makes me reflect in two ways on the
7:08 am
figure of moses. on the one hand, the patriarch and lawgiver of the people of israel symbolizes the need of peoples to keep alive their sense of unity by means of just legislation. on the other, the figure of moses leads us directly to god and thus to the transcendent dignity of the human being. moses provides us with a good synthesis of your work. you are asked to protect, by
7:09 am
means of the law, the image and likeness fashioned by god on every human life. today i would like not only to address you, but through you the entire people of the united states. here, together with their representatives, i would like to take this opportunity to dialogue with the many thousands of men and women who strive each day to do an honest day's work, to bring home their daily bread, to save money and, one step at a time, to build a better life for
7:10 am
their families. these are men and women who are not concerned simply with paying their taxes, but in their own quiet way sustain the life of society. they generate solidarity by their actions, and they create organizations which offer a helping hand to those most in need. i would also like to enter into dialogue with the many elderly persons who are a storehouse of
7:11 am
wisdom forged by experience, and who seek in many ways, especially through volunteer work, to share their stories and their insights. i know that many of them are retired, but still active. they keep working to build up this land. i also want to dialogue with all those young people who are working to realize their great and noble aspirations, who are not led astray by facile proposals, and who face
7:12 am
difficult situations, often as a result of immaturity on the part of many adults. i wish to dialogue with all of you, and i would like to do so through the historical memory of your people. my visit takes place at a time when men and women of good will are marking the anniversaries of several great americans. the complexities of history and the reality of human weakness notwithstanding, these men and
7:13 am
women, for all their many differences and limitations, were able by hard work and self-sacrifice, some at the cost of their lives, to build a better future. they shaped fundamental values which endure forever in the spirit of the american people. a people with this spirit can live through many crises, tensions and conflicts, while always finding the resources to move forward, and to do so with dignity. these men and women offer us a
7:14 am
way of seeing and interpreting reality. in honoring their memory, we are inspired, even amid conflicts, and in the here and now of each day, to draw upon our deepest cultural reserves. i would like to mention four of these americans. abraham lincoln, martin luther king, dorothy day and thomas merton. [ applause ]
7:15 am
this year marks the 150th anniversary of the assassination of president abraham lincoln, the guardian of liberty, who labored tirelessly that this nation, under god, might have a new birth of freedom. building a future of freedom requires love of the common good and cooperation in a spirit of subsidiarity and solidarity. all of us are quite aware of, and deeply worried by, the disturbing social and political
7:16 am
situation of the world today. our world is increasingly a place of violent conflict, hatred and brutal atrocities, committed even in the name of god and of religion. we know that no religion is immune from forms of individual delusion or idealogical extremism. this means that we must be especially attentive to every type of fundamentalism, whether religious or of any other kind. a delicate balance is required
7:17 am
to combat violence perpetrated in the name of a religion, an ideology or an economic system, while also safeguarding religious freedom, intellectual freedom and individual freedoms. but there is another temptation which we must especially guard against, the simplistic reductionism which sees only good or evil, or, if you will, the righteous and sinners.
7:18 am
the contemporary world, with its open wounds which affect so many of our brothers and sisters, demands that we confront every form of polarization which would divide it into these two camps. we know that in the attempt to be freed of the enemy without, we can be tempted to feed the enemy within. to imitate the hatred and violence of tyrants and murderers is the best way to take their place. that is something which you, as
7:19 am
a people, reject. our response must instead be one of hope and healing, of peace and justice. we are asked to summon the courage and the intelligence to resolve today's many geopolitical and economic crises. even in the developed world, the effects of unjust structures and actions are all too apparent. our efforts must aim at
7:20 am
restoring hope, righting wrongs, maintaining commitments, and thus promoting the well-being of individuals and of peoples. we must move forward together, as one, in a renewed spirit of fraternity and solidarity, cooperating generously for the common good. the challenges facing us today call for a renewal of that spirit of cooperation, which has accomplished so much good throughout the history of the united states.
7:21 am
the complexity, the gravity and the urgency of these challenges demand that we pool our resources and talents, and resolve to support one another, with respect for our differences and our convictions of conscience. in this land, the various religious denominations have greatly contributed to building and strengthening society. it is important that today, as
7:22 am
in the past, the voice of faith continue to be heard, for it is a voice of fraternity and love, which tries to bring out the best in each person and in each society. such cooperation is a powerful resource in the battle to eliminate new global forms of slavery, born of grave injustices which can be overcome only through new policies and new forms of social consensus. politics is an expression of our
7:23 am
7:24 am
here i think of the march which martin luther king led from selma to montgomery 50 years ago as part of the campaign to fulfill his dream of full civil and political rights for african-americans. that dream continues to inspire us all. i am happy that america continues to be, for many, a land of dreams.
7:25 am
dreams which lead to action, to participation, to commitment. dreams which awaken what is deepest and truest in the life of the people. in recent centuries, millions of people came to this land to pursue their dream of building a future in freedom. we, the people of this continent, are not fearful of
7:26 am
7:27 am
nations, from the heart of american democracy, i wish to reaffirm my highest esteem and appreciation. those first contacts were often turbulent and violent but we know it's very difficult to judge the past by the criteria of the present. nonetheless, when the stranger in our midst appeals to us, we must not repeat the sins and the errors of the past.
7:28 am
we must resolve now to live as nobly and as justly as possible, as we educate new generations not to turn their back on our neighbors and everything around us. building a nation calls us to recognize that we must constantly relate to others, rejecting a mindset of hostility in order to adopt one of reciprocal subsidiarity, in a constant effort to do our best. i am confident that we can do this.
7:29 am
our world is facing a refugee crisis of a magnitude not seen since the second world war. this presents us with great challenges and many hard decisions. on this continent, too, thousands of persons are led to travel north in search of a better life for themselves and for their loved ones, in search of greater opportunities. is this not what we want for our own children?
7:30 am
we must not be taken aback by their numbers, but rather view them as persons, seeing their faces and listening to their stories, trying to respond as best we can to their situation. to respond in a way which is always humane, just and fraternal. we need to avoid a common temptation nowadays, to discard whatever proves troublesome. let us remember the golden rule,
7:31 am
"do unto others as you would have them do unto you." this rule points us in a clear direction. let us treat others with the same passion and compassion with which we want to be treated. let us seek for others the same possibilities which we seek for ourselves. let us help others to grow, as we would like to be helped ourselves.
7:32 am
7:33 am
7:34 am
the best, since every life is sacred, every human person is endowed with an inalienable dignity, and society can only benefit from the rehabilitation of those convicted of crimes. recently my brother bishops here in the united states renewed their call for the abolition of the death penalty. not only do i support them, but i also offer encouragement to all those who are convinced that a just and necessary punishment
7:35 am
must never exclude the dimension of hope and the goal of rehabilitation. in these times when social concerns are so important, i cannot fail to mention the servant of god dorothy day, who founded the catholic worker movement. her social activism, her passion for justice and for the cause of the oppressed, were inspired by the gospel, her faith, and the example of the saints.
7:36 am
how much progress has been made in this area in so many parts of the world. how much has been done in these first years of the third millennium to raise people out of extreme poverty. i know that you share my conviction that much more still needs to be done, and that in times of crisis and economic hardship a spirit of global solidarity must not be lost. at the same time i would encourage you to keep in mind all those people around us who are trapped in a cycle of poverty.
7:37 am
they too need to be given hope. the fight against poverty and hunger must be fought constantly and on many fronts, especially in its causes. i know that many americans today, as in the past, are working to deal with this problem. it goes without saying that part of this great effort is the creation and distribution of wealth. the right use of natural resources, the proper application of technology and the harnessing of the spirit of
7:38 am
enterprise are essential elements of an economy which seeks to be modern, inclusive and sustainable. business is a noble vocation, directed to producing wealth and improving the world. it can be a fruitful source of prosperity for the area in which it operates, especially if it sees the creation of jobs as an essential part of its service to the common good.
7:39 am
this common good also includes the earth, a central theme of the encyclical which i recently wrote in order to enter into dialogue with all people about our common home. we need a conversation which includes everyone, since the environmental challenge we are undergoing, and its human roots, concern and affect us all.
7:40 am
7:41 am
congress, have an important role to play. now is the time for courageous actions and strategies, aimed at implementing a culture of care and an integrated approach to combating poverty, restoring dignity to the excluded, and at the same time protecting nature. we have the freedom needed to limit and direct technology, to devise intelligent ways of developing and limiting our power, and to put technology at
7:42 am
the service of another type of progress, one which is healthier, more human, more social, more integral. in this regard, i am confident that america's outstanding academic and research institutions can make a vital contribution in the years ahead. a century ago, at the beginning of the great war, which pope benedict xv termed a pointless slaughter, another notable
7:43 am
american was born, the cistercian monk thomas merton. he remains a source of spiritual inspiration and a guide for many people. in his autobiography he wrote, "i came into the world. free by nature, in the image of god, i was nevertheless the prisoner of my own violence and my own selfishness, in the image of the world into which i was born. that world was the picture of hell, full of men like myself,
7:44 am
loving god, and yet hating him. born to love him, living instead in fear of hopeless self-contradictory hungers." merton was above all a man of prayer, a thinker who challenged the certitudes of his time and opened new horizons for souls and for the church. he was also a man of dialogue, a promoter of peace between peoples and religions. from this perspective of
7:45 am
dialogue, i would like to recognize the efforts made in recent months to help overcome historic differences linked to painful episodes of the past. it is my duty to build bridges and to help all men and women, in any way possible, to do the same. when countries which have been at odds resume the path of dialogue, a dialogue which may have been interrupted for the most legitimate of reasons, new opportunities open up for all.
7:46 am
this has required, and requires, courage and daring, which is not the same as irresponsibility. a good political leader is one who, with the interests of all in mind, seizes the moment in a spirit of openness and pragmatism. a good political leader always opts to initiate processes rather than possessing space.
7:47 am
being at the service of dialogue and peace also means being truly determined to minimize and, in the long term, to end the many armed conflicts throughout our world. here we have to ask ourselves, why are deadly weapons being sold to those who plan to inflict untold suffering on individuals and society? sadly, the answer, as we all know, is simply for money, money
7:48 am
7:49 am
martin luther king, liberty in plurality and non-exclusion. dorothy day, social justice and the rights of persons. and thomas merton, the capacity for dialogue and openness to god. four representatives of the american people. i will end my visit to your country in philadelphia, where i will take part in the world meeting of families. it is my wish that throughout my visit the family should be a
7:50 am
recurrent theme. how essential the family has been to the building of this country. and how worthy it remains for our support and encouragement. yet i cannot hide my concern for the family, which is threatened, perhaps as never before, from within and without. fundamental relationships are being called into question, as is the very basis of marriage and the family.
7:51 am
i can only reiterate the importance and, above all, the richness and the beauty of family life. in particular, i would like to call attention to those family members who are the most vulnerable, the young. for many of them, a future filled with countless possibilities beckons, yet so many others seem disoriented and aimless, trapped in a hopeless maze of violence,
7:52 am
abuse and despair. their problems are our problems. we cannot avoid them. we need to face them together, to talk about them and to seek effective solutions rather than getting bogged down in discussions. at the risk of oversimplifying, we might say that we live in a culture which pressures young people not to start a family, because they lack possibilities for the future.
7:53 am
yet this same culture presents others with so many options that they too are dissuaded from starting a family. a nation can be considered great when it defends liberty as lincoln did, when it fosters a culture which enables people to dream of full rights for all their brothers and sisters, as martin luther king sought to do, when it strives for justice and the cause of the oppressed, as dorothy day did by her tireless work, the fruit of a faith which
7:54 am
becomes dialogue and sows peace in the contemplative style of thomas merton. in these remarks i have sought to present some of the richness of your cultural heritage, of the spirit of the american people. it is my desire that this spirit continue to develop and grow, so that as many young people as possible can inherit and dwell in a land which has inspired so many people to dream. god bless america!
7:55 am
[ applause ] >> and a stirring speech by pope francis here in congress. a historic moment where he talked about the pursuit of the common good and urged lawmakers to put aside political differences. he hit on many issues, including immigration, climate change, gun control, abortion, death penalty. he talked about the evils of capitalism and inequality and about the migrant crisis in europe, the worst since world war ii. it was certainly measured in its tone as we heard the pontiff
7:56 am
talk about wanting a dialogue with the audience. we are going to see pope francis then go to statuary hall and he will pause in front of a statue of juniper sarah and that is noteworthy because he was canonized yesterday by pope francis, the first ever here in the united states. then we will see pope francis and house speaker john boehner on the balcony. a special stage has been built for him, where he will wave at the huge crowds, the tens of thousands of people who have gathered on the west front of the capitol, who for the past 40 minutes, have been watching this speech, listening to this speech on huge jumbotrons that are all along the wall here in washington, almost as big, if not bigger, than some presidential inaugurations.
7:57 am
my colleagues are in new york. i know both of you watched this as well. it was an extraordinary address. >> it really was. he took on so many topics which surprised our guest in the studio. we are joined by a professor of theology from the university of notre dame in new york and monsignor joins me at the table. there is a famous line, you had me at hello. here it was when he said from the land of the free and the home of the brave. he got applause for that. what surprised you in this speech? >> i think openness, freedom and courage, he wants that dialogue on issues. his emphasis on the dignity of the human, that's a very catholic principle, but the abolition of the death penalty and a clear call to stop the arms trade. wow. >> why did it surprise you that he touched on the death penalty in particular?
7:58 am
>> it's even political in the catholic church. we know that throughout the world and even in some states here, that still is a question, that's an issue. but coming from the greatest moral leader in the world today and before the strongest gathering of political leaders, that is huge. >> we have to say that for a man who said english is his least favorite of the six languages he spoke, he did an excellent job. very metered, slow delivery. everything he said, he really talked about so many different topics but he did it with that lighter touch that he is so often praised for. you were even commenting on how he was able to take religious topics and sort of make them less religious by using time references. >> that's right. there's a lot of warmth here. he had broad catholic categories so they appealed to everyone. one is the golden rule. he had the quote, do unto others and you would have done unto yourself. that's something everyone
7:59 am
applauded. >> a large standing ovation. >> yes. >> biggest applause of the speech from congress. >> the golden rule is the underpinning of every religious group and humanists agree this is a good moral principle. he also made the statement that we will be judged by time in the future for what we do that.'s the standard for which we will be judged in the future. we will be judged in the future on what we do now. he could have said we will be judged by god but he didn't, because time and the way that our successors will view us is something that appeals to everyone. that broadening of the message is very important to him. >> the family was a recurrent theme throughout this speech. >> it is, and obviously that's the main reason he's in the united states. he really believes that the church does, the family is the basic pillar of society. he basically called us to defend the institution of the family. he clearly -- >> there's the pontiff right
8:00 am
now, pope francis entering the hall. he hall. john baner. >> it seems like there is a lot about inclusiveness in the past piece, not just to comfort the afflicted but afflict the comfortable. we want to go to you in d.c. now as we watch the pope make the steps. >> that's right. he just passed by the will rogers statue, in the capital, he's approaching an incredible gathering of american leaders and statues of them. no women inside that hall. but rosa parks has been recently added. but he will pause before junipero serra, the saint he canonized there and that's significant because they credit serra with bringing catholicism to the west, he's been criticized for converting some
8:01 am
8:02 am
the picture on the front page of the newspapers tomorrow. and they have built a special stage for him on top of the speaker's balcony so he will be up a little higher and will look out and see the tens of thousands who are gathered on the mall. that's where chip reid has been all this morning. good morning, chip. >> well, good morning. it it is very quiet right now. they're waiting for the pope to come out on the balcony. i have four young ladies here who all just recently graduated from college with us. the best college graduation present you could get? >> yes, being here with these lovely ladies. definitely. >> what did you think about that speech? >> oh, my goodness. one thing he said, he said that the yardstick used to judge others is the thing that time will use to judge you. it struck me. the common good and solidarity of everyone and just seeing how they all just cheered when you
8:03 am
talk about love, it touched me and it is wonderful. >> what is it like right now waiting for him to come out on that balcony? >> very exciting. i love the feeling of anticipation and unity kind of. how everyone is really excited for the same thing here. >> is it the speech or the pope coming out on the balcony? >> well, the speech was great. i'm also excited to see him so. >> quickly? >> we're really grateful to be here. looking forward to seeing the pope come out any minute now. >> i'll let you turn around the other way. i know you would rather do that. norah, very respectful and quiet here. i think i'll join them in silence. back to you. >> thank you very much, chip reid. and, of course, the speaker of the house, one of the most beautiful offices on capitol hill and is granted with this gorgeous balcony where you can see the entire mall, the washington mall, all the way down to the lincoln memorial. so this is an occasion for the
8:04 am
pontiff to see beautiful part of washington, but also the many that have come and gathered to see him. nancy cordes is with me here on capitol hill. really remarkable morning here. >> it really was, norah. to see the pope come here to the home of democracy and essentially lay out his view of the role of government. he says legislative activity is always faced for the people. every issue he talked about, he talked about through that lens. he said we need to open our doors to more refugees. he said they're coming here for a better life, for their families. is this not what we want for our own children? that was a huge applause line. he said we need to protect life at every stage of development. and he talks quite pointedly about his opposition to the death penalty. on climate change, which you could tell was really one of the
8:05 am
issues he was most passionate about, he said he's convinced that we can make a difference and that congress has an important role to play, clearly there are many members of congress who would disagree with him there. but he said that we need to make this world better, not just for the people who live here now, but for the people who will be living here in the future. >> nancy, i mentioned this, it is my understanding there is a special stage built on this terrace to elevate the pontiff higher so he can be seen more easily by the crowds. and that there are two microphones that are positioned so that he could address the crowd if he wanted to. we know there are students, teachers, people who traveled miles and miles to be here today. >> members i've spoken to say they expect him to address this crowd. that it would be very much in keeping with the personality of this pope to speak to them, to bless them. he knows that these are
8:06 am
americans who have come from all over the country and perhaps the people have come from beyond our borders to see him and to share from him and who have been waiting many hours for that opportunity. >> nancy, we talked about previously the decorum inside the house chamber. in a 50-minute speech, we saw 33 occasions of applause. many of them standing applause. >> a lot of applause. from both sides. what we didn't see were any boos. i think that leadership will be happy about that. we didn't see anyone lunging out to try to greet the pope as he walk ed down the center aisle. everyone was very respectful. the only person that he really acknowledged as he was coming down the aisle was secretary of state john kerry, who is catholic. he stopped to shake kerry's hand. he clearly initiated that engagement. and he spoke a lot about courage in his speech. as it relates to re-engaging
8:07 am
8:09 am
8:10 am
8:11 am
>> incredible. i've never seen anything like this, the roar of the crowd for pope francis. you heard him say god bless america. and, you know, i think his message there was what has inspired so many people about him electronic was him, inclusiveness, taking the opportunity to reach out to those who he said cannot pray or
8:12 am
do not believe, i ask you to send good wishes my way. he is not just speaking to those of catholic faith or christians. he is trying to be in some ways an agent of change, a leader of faith, inspired to many in the ideal that common good that he talked about today, that golden rule that he talked about here on capitol hill, do unto others as you would have them do unto y you. clearly an inspiring moment here, gayle. >> we are talking about it in the studio. we all have the same reaction as you. when he's so inclusive, monsignor, and so interesting to watch how in his speech he said he wants to touch the elderly, wants to touch children. his first comment was to the children. so we all see hows' fecting people. how do you think this is affecting him? >> he was clearly moved there, gayle, himself. i think he sees this as a great
8:13 am
moment of hope where we can build on common ground, which ultimately is the human purpose. so let us work together, looking out for the needs of the human person, not doctrine, not dogma, not our own positions, but the other person in front of us and their needs today and into eternity. what a beautiful, beautiful message. >> so beautiful, pray for me as well. >> humble. humble, simple, gentle. and generous. >> we're going to go back to you, norah o'donnell, in washington at the capitol. >> a phrase worth repeating that the pope used here saying the yardstick we use for others will be the yardstick which time will use for us. so now pope francis will leave here and go to catholic charities and have lunch with the homeless and poor before going to new york. our coverage of pope francis' rift to america will continue throughout the day on the cbs station and on our 24 hour
8:14 am
digital network. complete wrap-up of the pope's day on tonight's "cbs evening news" with scott pelley. this has been an cbs news special report. for charlie rose, gayle king, i'm norah o'donnell, cbs news. ♪ in our "eye on money" series protecting your family's finances. this is life insurance awareness month. more than 70 million americans need extra life insurance for their economic security. only 60% of adults have coverage. cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger is here to show us how to get start. i feel like nobody wants to talk but life insurance like it's a depressing topic. >> it is because we are contemplating our own death but if smn someone is relying on your income, your stream of income, you really have to be
8:15 am
thinking about protecting that. so who needs life insurance? it's the people who say i've got survivors who need my income, kids who i might be saving for college, and also think about this. if you're the primary wage earner and you're putting away for retirement you have to get enough coverage to cover your survivor's retirement so these are important pieces of your financial puzzle. >> how much is enough? >> great question. there are calculators and rules of thumb. the rule of thumb eight to ten times your annual salary. >> you know what? it's so much easier now to figure out what you need. you can go to life happens.org. an easy to use calculator and it plugs in here is my income and what i want to save for college and this is what i have saved already. what is important to know not everyone needs life insurance. maybe you got a boat-load of money saved. you don't -- your death would result in no one suffering. maybe you don't need life insurance. but many people do and we want to encourage them to get that coverage. >> what is the age bracket
8:16 am
you're talking about? i know you mentioned dependents and survivors but is there a certain age you say this is something you should start thinking about? >> i think it depends on your circumstance. sure if you're a young parent then you got a survivor all of a sudden you never had before. let's say you were a working couple and both of you were putting money away and maybe one of you were to die the other wouldn't suffer financially. maybe you don't need it. now you have kids, you probably need it. the other group on to consider is for estate planning. i know it's a very small number of americans but, you know, we have an estate tax levy at the federal and the state level and some people who are purchasing life insurance to cover their needs. that is very important, especially in states with low levels of exclusions. >> short answer, is there a kind of insurance? >> term insurance is good when you're young and you're healthy. permanent insurance is good if you need it for rest of your life for estate purposes. check it out. talk to somebody. and be sure to run the numbers. >> that is a short answer. thank you, jill! thank you very much!

8:31 am
anne hathaway, and director nancy meyers, there they are. the girls in our studio 57. their new movie "the intern" puts a new spin on workplace comedy. they will show us how hollywood is growing up and how far it still needs to go. our guy jim nantz is ready to talk some football and he is standing by with a preview of "thursday night football" airing tonight on cbs. right now it's time to show of this morning's headlines around the globe. dalai lama says if a woman succeeds him, she needs to be attractive. >> so you can only have a female dolly llama if they are attractive is what you're saying? you can't have -- >> female come, then female. >> will be attractive? >> must be. >> must snb. >> you're joking, i'm assuming? you're not joking? >> huh? >> you're joking! you're joking? >> you can tell the reporter was
8:32 am
completely caught off-guard. it caught the reporter by surprise. in the past dalai lama has called himself a feminine. the "atlanta journal-constitution." a television anchor in north carolina posted this video to facebook and recommended a black intern at the station should straighten her hair for the sake of her career. that sparked a big old conversation on social media. and the anchor encouraged that discussion. a critic outside the station called the intern's natural curls distracting. britain's "guardian" reports on an american paraplegic who walked again with the power of his own brain. doctors monitored his brennan waves and sent them wirelessly to a computer that determines what the man was trying to do. then it sends an electrical impulse into electrodes installed in his knees that caused muscles to cause him to
8:33 am
move his legs. >> that is amazing. i'm still stuck on the hair story. they call it distracting but i call it gorgeous. "the intern" packed academy award winners anne hathaway and robert de niro. and the director is nancy meyers. >> sure, private benjamin, sir! >> you can see that is the funny thing. i can't have a baby because i have a 12:30 luj meeting! >>. [ screaming ] >>. [ speaking in foreign language ] pleasure. i assume you'll be wearing a black tuxedo? >> it is a black tux deowe. >> how are you doing? >> what are you doing? >> exfoliating? >> i have an intruder in my house. >> i'm dating your daughter! she invited me here for the
8:34 am
weekend. she is in her room right now changing. >> [ screaming ] you're dating my daughter? >> oh, and, gee, i thought he would never leave! >> i am having an affair! [ screaming ] >> that is genius. >> genius is the word. meyer's newest leading lady is the lovely anne hathaway. in "the intern owe owe she plays the founder of a fashion start-up and juggles a young staff and now she has her very own senior intern. >> don't you feel like you have to dress up? we are super casual here. >> i'm comfortable in a suit, if it's okay. >> no, fine. >> at least i'll stand out. >> i don't think you need to do that. >> well, i think we did it necessary nless than two
8:35 am
minutes. i'll wait to hear from you. want the door open or closed? >> it doesn't matter. open, actually. >> look forward to it. >> anne hathaway and nancy meyer. hello! i love this movie. a funny thing he said we did it in two minutes. he has an appointment to see your character and says, jules, be prompt because it's over at 4:00 meaning you have five minutes for that interview. your movies focus on relationships and this is not a typical boy/girl love story. when you think of intern you don't think of robert de niro. >> i thought it would be funny to have -- would you like to be an intern anywhere? >> yes, for her! >> for her! >> very bored.
8:36 am
>> there is something about retired, a retired person who hates her time and what i imagine is going to happen to me and maybe going back into something brand new, start-up. >> you focus on so many people don't focus on what -- they think old people can't do as opposed to focusing on what they can do. >> they are not older so when you're older, you think what -- you still feel the same. >> it's true. >> as we saw when we were looking back at some of your work, i think you're the woman people look to for these wonderful stories about relationships and we still feel that in "the intern." what was the impetus for this particular movie and a what drew you to the role of jules? i heard you say you related to her, especially about having so many public moments in the spotlight? >> yes. do you want to answer for her? >> well, i've written, you know, sort of my share of romantic movies and i just -- >> true statement. >> yes, true statement. and, you know, i just wanted to write something else completely
8:37 am
different but, you know, i was always going to stay in the world of people and relationships. so a friendship movie -- i have great friends, great friends, and a new friendship so you see me like you would in a romantic comedy but it's never romantic. >> the story is always the point, the script and the story? >> yes. and for me, the characters are the story. >> here you have nicholson and >> i like movie stars because they are the best actor. >> good reason. >> working with de niro and hathaway, what is the demand from the director? >> maybe you should ask her that. >> what does intmperative mean? >> what does a actor have to do to bring out the best in good ar actors? >> inspire and trust. you asked me what drew me to
8:38 am
this. i want to be in a nancy meyer movie for as long as i wanted to be an actress. >> i don't think this is true. >> e-mails. >> three times. >> i missed third time auditioning for nancy and i finally got the part. initially, we didn't see perfectly eye-to-eye on the character about every last detail. and we were both people who care about detail. >> how did you do it? >> well, i -- i thought perhaps there should be more outward and obvious expression of jules, address, possibly making her a little bit more more unpleasant and a little bit more unlikable. nancy showed me the strength she is leading from her heart and not always making the best decision and messing up public but it comes from a good place and a reason like people like working there and i saw that. at a certain point, i thought
8:39 am
i'm going to trust your vision with this character which is very different for me and i'm going to be guided by you through this performance, a performance i'm really proud of and happy i made that decision. >> i love how you you said you're working with robert de niro, your words. >> i think he is awesome too. he is playing your intern. >> yes. >> i think the dynamic of that was great fun to watch between the two of you. >> fun to play. he is a quiet man but very affable one. you know, once i learned how to breathe in front of him, i don't know. i just started to feel great affection and warmth for him. i don't know if that translated on screen. >> it does. >> it made it easy -- you made it easy for both of us really. >> that was my point, how do you direct robert de niro? >> well, you know, having worked with jack and merle and annie and bob, they are formidable people. i learned they are all open and they want to be good in your
8:40 am
movie. they want to make the same movie as you you want to make and they want to succeed in it. when you walk over to them, you can tell right away, they lean in to you and say, okay, okay. that he make it easy for me really. >> when i thought about this movie as a whole, it seemed like so many layers and commentary on dot com and work life balance if it exists and commentary how men perceive high-powered women. what did you both want people to walk away with? what was the central message? >> well, i'm, frankly, tired of seeing movies where the woman, who is the boss, is evil or up tight or just not like a natural, normal -- i mean, the women i know that have great jobs are wonderful, they are great people, they have big jobs and it doesn't make them a bad person. so we talked about a lot, even in her wardrobe if something was too sharp, audience comes in and expecting a movie where you are
8:41 am
supposed to be a b itch. can i say that? >> you just did. >> okay, we have to counter that because that is an expectation. i just know it. i know that is what people think. also know from other they think she is that tough. she is not tough. she is working hard. >> she is tough in her own way and what she needs to be but that is not her go to state for everything. she is very amicable person and very passionate about what she does and she is not getting it totally right yet. there is a mixture of confidence and inexperience that she is navigating right now. i don't know. i found that very relatable. >> there is a twist in the middle, i'll just say. >> without spoiling it, right? >> without spoiling it. >> thank you, anne and nancy. >> "the intern" opens nationwide tomorrow. a new week of "thursday night football" is here on cbs. we will take you to metlife stadium where jim nantz will preview tonight's giants/redskins ma
8:43 am
it's intelligent enough to warn of danger from virtually anywhere. it's been smashed, dropped and driven. it's perceptive enough to detect other vehicles on the road. it's been shaken, rattled and pummeled. it's innovative enough to brake by itself, park itself and help you steer. it's been in the rain... the cold... and dragged thugh the mud. introducing the all-new mercedes-benz gle. it's where brains meet brawn.
8:44 am
i'm a gas service rep for pg&e in san jose.. as a gas service rep we are basically the ambassador of the company. we make the most contact with the customers on a daily basis. i work hand-in-hand with crews to make sure our gas pipes are safe. my wife and i are both from san jose. my kids and their friends live in this community. every time i go to a customer's house, their children could be friends with my children so it's important to me. one of the most rewarding parts of this job is after you help a customer, seeing a smile on their face.
8:45 am
8:46 am
jim nantz is outside metlife stadium and he will call tonight's game. hello, friend! >> reporter: hello, friend! i got to the stadium a little bit early, guys. we are about, what? twelve hours from kickoff or so. looking forward to it. it will be exciting tonight. >> quickly give us your assessment of the nfl season so far and we will preview this game tonight. >> well, to me the early season story is some of these real quality teams that are 0-2. >> yeah. >> they are facing a little bit of a desperate situation. you got seattle who won the nfc last year, they are 0-2. i'm going to see them on sunday when we have the bears in seattle and the national afternoon window. and indianapolis is 0-2. there is a lot of really good teams out there that have struggled at the start. >> i tell you who is not the afl's new england patriots. >> the patriots have not missed a beat. affiliate talk in the off-season about thedeflategate we all got
8:47 am
fatigued with that story. here they come out and they have had two impressive wins and they look like the team to beat again. >> tonight, how much pressure do you think eli manning is feeling, jim nantz? >> i like that question. i think that he -- i think this whole team knows that you have to be really careful not to let a season slip away from you. i heard charlie reference at the start the giants are trying to avoid 0-3 for the second time in three years. one time they started 0-6. they should be better than that. they had the cowboys with the opener. they had the clock management issue at the end of the game. then managed to somehow lose that one down in dallas. then this past sunday, they had a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter against atlanta and, again, poor execution down the stretch. gave up big plays. this team should be undefeated right now. here they are 0-2 against the washington team that is much better than anyone thought coming into the year.
8:48 am
>> let's talk about that team. kirk cousins is the quarterback. i mean, is it now his job to lose? >> well, the coach, jay gruden, said, you are my quarterback for all 16 games. this was kind of hanging over this washington squad for the last couple of years. what are they going to do with rg3, robert griffin, iii the former heisman trophy winner and winner of the rookie player. he has not been the same player. every player we talked to it's an albatross for them, they couldn't get away from this story. when jay gruden took head coaching job, he said kirk cousin is my quarterback and that is it. they have gone out and played two pretty good games and lost the opener against miami and had a great chance to win that and beat the rams last week. i think they are going to surprise a lot of people this year. >> let's talk about coach tom coughlin. we mentioned he could be 0-3 and right now 0-2. should that happen do you think
8:49 am
all eyes are on him, his coaching staff and who will people be looking to blame? >> tom coughlin has lived through this kind of questioning and scrutiny really since he came here. all he has done is win a couple of super bowl titles. one day there is going to be a bust of tom coughlin in canton, ohio. he will gg into the hall of fame one day. he has been around a long time and doesn't bother him at all. i know what bothers him the fact when his team doesn't execute down the stretch like has been the case in the first two games of the season. so i don't think he hears all that static, all of that noise. and his team, tonight, is determined to come back here and try to right the ship. they are in the division that has really been hit by some big injuries and some strange circumstances. philadelphia is 0-2. dallas has lost row know and one behind you! >> it will be there tonight! we will. we will. >> we like it.,,,,,,,,,,
