barbara bush lived with her husband. >> reporter: good morning from a somber city. we're standing outside the bush family's gated community here in houston where the former first lady battled a number of health issues over the years including a thyroid condition and heart and lung challenges. but right to the end her family says she was alert, chatty and she was even enjoying her favorite bourbon. >> here's the thing. she had great faith. she truly believes that she is -- there's an after life, that she'll be wonderfully received in the arms of a loving death and therefore did not fear death. as a result of her soul being comforted, my soul is comforted. >> reporter: barbara bush died tuesday evening surrounded by family and friends. former president george w. bush, her husband of 73 years, held her hand throughout the day. mrs. bush's body left her family home for the last time in a

motorcade later that night. a family spokesman said her husband is broken-hearted but lifted up by his large and supportive family and is determined to be there for them. >> the entire country, especially the people in texas, are going to be grieving for a long time because she's such a presence. >> reporter: neighbor lindy has been friends with barbara bush for decades. >> she had a wonderful sense of humor, was such a lady, an ultimate lady, and she just was so kind and compassionate. i always think if the world was full of barbara bushs, the world would be a much better place. >> reporter: mrs. bush will be buried at texas a&m on the grounds of the george h.w. bush library, next to her little girl. she'll be buried in houston on saturday and the general public can pay its respects on friday. >> thank you so much, mark.

barbara bush was a relentless advocate for her husband and was dedicated to advancing literacy in the united states. she was born in new york in 1925, the third of four children. the bushes were married for 73 years, longer than any other president and first lady. mrs. bush spoke with us two years ago in one of her last televised interviews. >> you are one of the most beloved first ladies in america, if not the most. >> that's not true. i'm the mother of wonderful children and the wife of the world's greatest man. bush was so popular, she surpassed her husband, president george h.w. bush in public opinion polls. they met when she was just 16 and married when she was 19 and he was a 20-year-old navy pilot on home leave during world war ii. she often joked that her success in life came from marrying well. >> what has kept love alive? >> humor.

i fell in love with him practically at first sight. >> reporter: as a young couple the pushes moved to texas and built an oil business. they had six children but their oldest daughter robin died of leukemia at the age of three. in 1966 george bush was elected to congress and the family headed to washington d.c., one of 29 moves that barbara bush organized during their marriage. as first lady, she focused on early childhood education for preschoolers and adult literacy for their parents. >> i honestly believe that if more people could read, write and comprehend, we would be that much closer to solving so much of the problems that plague our nation. >> reporter: she won over the american people with her warm, self-mocking charm. >> speaking of glamour, i want you all to look at me very carefully. please notice the hair, the makeup, designer clothes.

>> reporter: after the bushes left the white house, they saw two of their sons carry on the family legacy in politics. george as governor of texas before being elected president in 2000, and jeb as governor of florida. >> vote for jeb. >> reporter: in 2016 mrs. bush campaigned for jeb during the gop presidential primary. >> mrs. bush, you've been involved in a lot of campaigns. >> too many. >> just a few years ago you said no more bushes in the white house. >> funny, i knew you were going to bring that up. and i said it because it's such a sacrifice for his family, but now i know he's so needed that he has to run. >> what do you want the bush legacy to be? you're watching a campaign -- >> the children and the grandchildren. >> at the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, winning one more verdict, or not closing one more deal. you will regret time not spent with a husband, a child, a friend, or a parent.

>> an incredible life. cbs news political contributor bob schieffer has covered the bush family's political fortunes and private contributions to american life for more than 40 years. he spoke to mrs. bush in 1988, her first interview after her husband announced he would run for president. bob is with us from washington. so good to have you with us this morning. you think about barbara bush and one of the things that comes to mind is her kids calling her the enforcer. >> and she really was. i mean, any one of them would tell you that their father, they respected him greatly and they always worried about disappointing him, but they were scared of her. i can tell you that for a fact. they loved her to death, but she was the one who made the rules in the family, and she was the one who enforced them. i'm telling you she could stare down a grizzly bear, but at the same time she loved children and

she loved to be around them. when visitors used to come to kennebunkport in the summertime, she would sometimes sit a 10 or 12-year-old child next to the president of the united states. she was interested in all children and especially her children and her grandchildren. >> bob, what struck you about that 1988 interview when you interviewed her when her husband was running for president? >> well, she was -- she knew who she was and she was very comfortable with herself and she was not afraid to say out loud what other people might be thinking. i mean, there had been a big story going around. "news week" had run a cover that george bush was a wimp and it said overcoming the wimp factor. i asked her about it in that interview around she said he's not a wimp but if he is, we need a lot of wimps because he is one tough wimp. >> she may have been born in new york but us texans like to claim

her as one of our own. talk about the role she played as a confidante and adviser to her husband. >> well, she was a confidante who gave her advice to the president. she was not going on television and spelling out what he ought to do or ought not to do. what i always remember her for is -- i mean, she didn't suffer fools gladly and she, at some points, could be very off-putting to people if she didn't agree with them. but she was the mom. she was the one in charge of that family. this long life that they had, one of the things that together i think a lot of people don't know about, when george h.w. bush, her husband, was playing baseball at yale, she loved baseball and she used to keep all of his -- she kept score and she had all of his box scores of all the games he played at yale. she taught george w. bush how to keep score in baseball, and then

when the grandkids came along, she taught them how to keep score. she still had -- and i suppose somewhere in her property there she still has all of the box scores of george w. bush's baseball games when he played in little league. she was really a fan right up until the end. >> i absolutely love hearing those stories, bob. in the final days of her life, we learned that while she was battling heart failure, she did also enjoy her favorite bourbon. what does that tell us about barbara bush. >> and i don't think she would be ashamed for you to know that because that's the kind of person she was. she was who she was, and as i say, she was quite a formidable person. >> bob, thanks. may we all have a bourbon at hand after a life like that. thanks, bob. the flag at the white house is at half staff this morning in memory of barbara bush.

president trump ordered flags to be lowered at all government buildings and military outposts. the president and first lady said in a statement that they join the nation in celebrating the life of an advocate of the american family. >> mr. trump who is at his mar-a-lago resort in florida is meeting for a second day with japanese prime minister shinzo abe about challenges like north korea. the talks come as the president confirms the cia director met secretly with north korea's dictator last week. major garrett is in west palm beach. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the cia and state department have been dealing directly with the north koreans for some time but talks to create a summit between president trump and north korean dictator kim jong-un have intensified. yesterday the president appeared to enjoy toying with reporters about what's happening and what it might achieve. >> we've also started talking to north korea directly. >> reporter: president trump hinted he might have had direct talks with kim jong-un.

later the white house clarified the two had not spoken. >> we have had direct talks at very high levels. >> reporter: how high level? cia director and secretary of state nominee mike pompeo met kim in north korea. pompeo who is facing a tight committee vote on his nomination was asked last week about mr. trump's planned summit with kim that the president said will be a chance to resolve the nuclear impasse. >> there is work being done today in preparation for the president's proposed meeting with kim jong-un. >> reporter: the president said five summit locations were under consideration and the two most likely are a neutral spot in the demilitarized zone separating north and south or on a u.s. naval vessel off the korean peninsula. >> hopefully that will be a success. >> reporter: kim will meet with the south korean president amid expectations they could declare a formal end to the korean war. mr. trump endorsed the move. >> they do have my blessing to discuss the end of the war. >> reporter: as for russia, the

president remains undecided about new sanctions to punish moscow for aiding syria's chemical weapons program. on sunday u.n. ambassador nikki haley >> you will see russian sanctions will be coming down. >> reporter: but the president delayed that move. yesterday, chief white house economic adviser larry kudlow said haley got ahead of the curve. >> there might have been some momentary confusion about that. >> reporter: haley later told fox news, quote, with all due respect, i don't get confused. kudlow on the job less than a month apologized personally to haley as lawmakers in both parties said the white house syria policy, particularly the aspect dealing with russia, increasingly looks uncertain and confused. norah? >> well said, major. thank you so much. we're learning new details about the midair engine explosion that killed one passenger on a southwest airlines yet. jennifer riordan, a married mother of two, died yesterday

when engine parts shattered a window. passengers are calling the female pilot a hero while calmly guiding the plane to safety. captain tammy jo schultz is a former fighter pilot. chris van cleave has more details. >> reporter: good morning. pieces of the engine cover were found on the ground 75 miles from here. now the national transportation safety board says they found signs of metal fatigue in an engine fan blade that broke off. that may be the cause of this horrible accident. southwest says that engine, a cfm-56, was nearly 20 years old but had been serviced just three days ago. roughly 20 minutes after takeoff at about 32,000 feet, southwest flight 1380's left engine exploded. the blast sent shrapnel tearing through one of the plane's windows, causing the cabin to lose pressure. >> i thought i was cataloging the last moments of my existence.

it felt like it was free falling. >> reporter: terrified passengers like marty martinez reached for oxygen masks as the plane rapidly descended. jennifer riordan was killed after she was partially sucked out of the window. other passengers pulled her back in and unsuccessfully performed cpr. >> the fan section we're talking about today is designed such that if a part does come off, it would not be catastrophic for the airplane. had this window not been punctured, today's event would have just been another emergency landing. >> reporter: passengers call captain tammy jo schultz a hero for safely landing the damaged plane. according to friends at her alma mater, schultz was among the first female fighter pilots in the u.s. navy. >> she has nerves of steel. that lady, i applaud her. i'm going to send her a christmas card. >> reporter: tuesday's engine failure is not the first for southwest, linked to metal fatigue. in august 2016, a similar event occurred on a flight to orlando.

that 737 landed safely with no one hurt, but metal from the engine sliced into the fuselage. >> we are very concerned about it. there needs to be proper inspection mechanisms in place to check for this before there's a catastrophic event. >> reporter: and after that 2016 failure, the faa has been moving to require enhanced inspections of some older cfm-56 engines similar to this one. southwest says it's going to accelerate its existing engine inspection program. riordan is the first passenger on board a u.s. airliner to be killed in more than nine years. >> thank you, chris. starbucks will close all its u.s. stores for a few hours next month to teach employees how to identify racial bias and prevent discrimination. gayle is covering that story from a starbucks in philadelphia. gayle? >> reporter: thank you, john. 175,000 workers in more than

8,000 stores just like this one will take part in the training on may 29th. the company, as you know, faces heavy criticism after two black men were arrested at another philadelphia starbucks just last week. police released the 911 call yesterday from the now former manager. >> hi, i have two gentlemen in my cafe that are refusing to make a purchase or leave. i'm at the starbucks at 18th and spruce. >> police will be there as soon as possible. >> reporter: starbucks ceo kevin johnson called the arrest reprehensible. he met with the two men who were arrested. in our next half hour, we'll talk with starbucks founder and executive chairman howard schultz. he told me this is deeply personal, and he is deeply committed to fixing it. that's the latest from philadelphia. for now, back to you, guys, in new york. >> gayle, looking forward to that

♪ life really must have joy. it's supposed to be fun. one of the reasons i made the most important decision of my life to marry george bush is because he made me laugh. it's true, sometimes we laugh through our tears, but that shared laughter has been one of our strongest bonds. find the joy in life because as ferris buehler said on his day off, life moves pretty fast, and you don't stop and look around once in a while, you're going to miss it. >> well, that was former first lady barbara bush speaking to graduates in 1990 about what

truly matters in life. after she referenced ferris bueller, she went on to say she wouldn't tell president bush that, quote, you clapped more for ferris than you clapped for george. in a survey, scholars rated her speech as one of the 100 best speeches of the 20th century. that speech was actually controversial at the time. there were wellsley graduates who protested her being there. she took it quite personally, but she delivered one hell of a speech. >> that's right. and one hell of a life. >> sharp sense of humor. ahead, we're going to get insight from barbara bush's personal diaries from "usa today's" susan page. >> welcome back to "cbs this morning." here are three things you should know this morning. americans are getting an extra day to file their taxes. many tried to meet yesterday's deadline. honest, they did. but irs computers were overwhelmed and the website crashed. now taxpayers have until midnight tonight to submit their returns. the white house says president trump filed an extension to file

his taxes. he's not made any of his past returns public. the company that made bump stocks believed to have been used by the las vegas gunman has decided to stop taking orders. slide fire solutions says it's shutting down its website for good next month. last month the justice department proposed banning bump stocks, which are devices that allow semiautomatic weapons to fire like a machine gun. 58 people were killed in the attack last october. it's the deadliest mass shooting in modern u.s. history. and scientists have uncovered what may be new evidence of a lost planet that once roamed through our solar system. researchers examined diamonds found inside fragments of a meteorite that crashed in the sudan desert in 2008. the large crystals required immense pressure to form. that suggests they grew inside a mystery planet that may have been as big as mars. >> wow. we reported earlier that starbucks will close its stores

and corporate offices on may 29th for company wide racial bias training. it comes in response to protests and calls to boycott starbucks. protesters are upset about the arrest of two black men at a philadelphia store last week. gayle is at another starbucks in philadelphia. gayle, good morning again. >> reporter: thank you very much, john. joining me now to discuss the incident and how the company is handling it is starbucks executive chairman howard schultz. it is an interview that you will see only on "cbs this morning." howard, we really appreciate you taking the time to join us this morning. >> thank you, gayle. >> reporter: listen, we have all heard the phrase driving while black, shopping while black, and now, howard, there's a hashtag that says starbucks while black. you see and you hear that and you think what? >> well, i'm embarrassed, ashamed. i think what occurred was reprehensible at every single level. i think i take it very personally as everyone in our company does, and we're committed to making it right.

the announcement we made yesterday about closing our stores, 8,000 stores closed, to do significant training with our people is just the beginning of what we will do to transform the way we do business and educate our people on unconscious bias. >> and it will cost you millions of dollars too. >> it will cost millions of dollars, but i've always viewed this and things like this as not an expense but an investment in our people and our company. and we're better than this. i think people expect us to be at a higher level than in other companies. i understand that. >> reporter: i've heard the phrase racial bias training. what exactly does that mean? people are saying to me, gayle, this is just a big pr stunt. this is an overreaction. what does howard and his company really expect to accomplish in a training session in an afternoon? >> we've had two company-wide meetings. i held one in seattle three days ago. >> reporter: since this happened? >> yes. i held one yesterday here in philadelphia. i think the truth of the matter

is that every one of us has a different life experience. that different life experience unfortunately produces a level of bias or unconscious bias about what we feel as people. and i think we have an opportunity with the help of the naacp, people who have been in this space for a long time, to help guide us, support us. i want to say something that's very important. this is not going to be a one-day event where we're going to do something and leave. we're going to stay with this. it's going to be significant. it's going to endure, and we're going to transform the way we do business. i also think it's an opportunity for healing. yesterday i spent time with the white manager who did make the 911 call. >> reporter: and she's still with the company? >> no, she has left the company. i think there's a unique opportunity for her and the two

gentlemen to sit down and potentially have some kind of reconciliation. >> reporter: do you see that happening? >> i do. i think it's going to be possible. i think she's interested in doing it. i think kevin has spent time with the two young men, and i think we -- >> reporter: kevin johnson, the starbucks ceo. >> yes. so perhaps something good can come out of this. i and by that, i mean this is highlighted for us that we have more work to do as a company. and i think, you know, race is a very difficult subject to discuss. we learned that three years ago. >> reporter: you tried with the race together campaign, and it did not go well for you all. >> it didn't. i think one of the reasons is that many people in america are not prepared to talk about race. i understand that. but this is a systemic problem in the country. that's not to say what happened at starbucks is not an issue. it is an issue. it's an issue that we will address, we will fix. we take it personally. and i can promise you that i am

deeply, deeply committed to comprehensive training for our peopl people. >> reporter: i would like to know more about the conversation with the manager yesterday. what did you say, what did she say, how is she feeling, why did she make that call? >> well, i think for her, she's suffering herself in her own way. i think she recognizes that perhaps that call should not have been made. i don't think she intended when she made the call for the police to arrive and arrest the two young men. >> reporter: what did she think was going to happen? >> she probably thought the police were going to talk to the men about what they were doing and why they were there. and i think you have to say in looking at the tape that she demonstrated her own level of unconscious bias. in looking at the tape, you ask yourself whether or not that, in fact, was racial profiling. >> reporter: is there any doubt in your mind that the call would not have been made had there been two white men? you know, white customers were

in the store saying, i've been sitting here, no one has said anything to me. the two black men, in their 20s, were there to meet a realtor to discuss a business deal. >> reporter: there's >> there's no doubt in any mind the reason they were called is because they were african-american. i'm embarrassed by that. i'm ashamed of that. that's not who starbucks is. that's not who we have been, and that's not who we're going to be. >> reporter: does she now think she made the wrong decision, the manager? >> i think she regrets calling 911, yes. >> reporter: what, if anything, does the company plan to do for the two black men? i know kevin johnson, the ceo, has met with them. have you all had any discussions about what, if anything, starbucks should do, could do for these two young men? think about how they handled it too. >> i think actually not many people have recognize the the fact this could have turned into something much, much worse had th -- they acted in a very passive way. >> reporter: they were very calm

and cooperative. >> what we have tried to do with the two young men is ask them, what can starbucks, given our resources and the capabilities we have -- they have an interest in real estate -- what can we do to help advise them and help support their own business endeavors. i think what will come out of this is that given the resources that we do have that we will provide them with a foundation of learning and provide them with an opportunity to be part of our company, either directly or indirectly, as a result of this situation. >> reporter: howard, i have more questions, but we're on live tv. we're out of time. can you stick around and i can continue the conversation? we'll run the interview at 8:00. >> of course. >> reporter: i know you have another meeting at 8:00. for now, we'll send it back to you all in the studio. >> thank you, gayle. really good interview and new information there that we learned this morning about steps that starbucks is going to take and about a possible meeting between that manager and those two men. thank you so much, gayle. we'll look forward to the rest of that conversation. mow to this. new technology makes manipulating video and images

bush went through and one of the things that affected them the most, the death of their 3-year-old daughter robin of leukemia. they talked about her frequently. >> they not only talked about her, but when i interviewed mrs. bush, it would be in the living room of their house in houston. and the chair that mrs. bush always sat in had a view of the portrait of robin that hung in a corner of the living room. always within her sight. when i ask her about rob on and the influence robin had and the terrible experience, the tragedy of her death to leukemia, tears welled in her eyes even all these years later. >> it will give us all solace to know she'll be reunited with robin, buried at her side this weekend. she was a wife and mother first. one of my favorite stories about her was when george wmpts bush was president. he was visiting her house and came in from a run. put his feet up on the coffee table and yelled at him.

if you were to look at my resume and see that i've had, you know, 25 different jobs, that doesn't look very good. >> see how many military families are making major financial sacrifices and the lawmakers on capitol h

i am extremely proud of jackie, gaby and stephanie. we worked with pg&e to save energy because we wanted to help the school. they would put these signs on the door to let the teacher know you didn't cut off the light. the teachers, they would call us the energy patrol. so they would be like, here they come, turn off your lights! those three young ladies were teaching the whole school about energy efficiency. we actually saved $50,000. and that's just one school, two semesters, three girls. together, we're building a better california.

lawmakers on capitol hill are working to address an often overlooked problem that's hurting our military community. 38% of military spouses are underemployed compared to 8% in the economy as a whole, and 12% are unemployed, three times the national rate, causes financial hardships for military families, and january crawford met with two military spouses, and a u.s. senator who is pushing for a change. she's in washington. jan, good morning. >> reporter: well, good morning. you know there's a lot of demands on our service members. they got the frequent moves, and long assignments away from home. we don't think about how hard it is on the military families, and it shouldn't be that difficult, so now some lawmakers here on capitol hill are trying to do something about it. >> is that good? >> reporter: she is a mother and small business owner whose husband served all over the world in the marines. >> relocated six time, had 14 addresses. >> reporter: 14?

>> yes. >> another, a real estate agent spending two decades on the move as an army wife. >> fast forward, 19 moves later. >> reporter: 19 moves in 24 years? >> yeah. >> reporter: their husbands served our country, these women made sacrifices of their own, especially in their careers, where frequent moves meant frequent job changes. >> i waited tables, worked at a day care center, worked in government contracting. >> i've done everything from sell insurance to work in radio, so if you were to look at my resume and see that i've had, you know, 25 different jobs, that doesn't look very good, right, like, who wants to hire that person who is not going to stick around. >> reporter: have you heard that personally from an employer, like, are you a military spouse? how long are you going to be there? >> oh, yeah. >> reporter: both heard that? >> if they look at your resume, they assume you're unstable. >> reporter: because you had so many jobs? >> yeah. >> reporter: for professionals

who require state licenses, uprooting your career is difficult, if not impossible. >> now i put it on hold because it takes six months to get my license because i'm moving from texas to florida and florida may not recognize texas's licenses. the same thing happens, we know, attorneys who -- >> and teachers. >> reporter: yeah. which all contributes to this reality, in a recent survey, 77% said being a military spouse had negatively affected their careers. more than half of the spouses in the survey said they bring in no income. nearly half the families had less than $5,000 saved. after years of frustration, both cole and ward took matters into their own hands, starting their own businesses. >> i don't know what i would have done had i not chosen entrepreneurship as my career path. i'd probably still be stressed out rolled up in a ball in the corner somewhere. >> reporter: when you heard about the stories, what was your reacti reaction? >> a sadness i had not thought of before.

>> reporter: the virginia senator represents more military families than nearly any other senator. >> there was a patriotic desire to, these people sacrifice, we should figure out a way to help them. we had to create the same patriotic mentality about the military spouses. >> reporter: there are signs that change is coming. >> with my signature -- >> reporter: at the state level, the nebraska governor recently made it easier for military spouses who are teachers for employment, and outside groups like the u.s. chamber of commerce hold career fairs targeted at military spouses. he's pushing bipartisan legislation at the national level arguing addressing the problem benefits the military in the long run. >> i have a kid in the military. the brass tells you it's the soldier or the marine that makes the decision to come in, but usually the reenlistment decision is made by the family. >> we are the backbone of the military, and i think if we had more people standing up behind us and saying, we believe in

you, and we're going to put the money behind you -- >> right? >> it's not enough to talk the talk. we want to see people walking the walk. >> reporter: why should we try to fix it? >> i think we should try to fix it because it's the right thing to do. i like to say we're the heros on the home front. we are home keeping the kids together. we are the accountant, the housekeeper, you know, all of these professions on a daily basis, just so that our spouses can go to work and serve the country. >> reporter: they told us the problem has gotten so bad that more couples are actually living apart so the spouse can stay behind and work. senators and colleagues hope that congress can pass a law later this spring to help fix that problem. norah? >> jan, thank you so much. glad to see that's being addressed. the service that spouses are involved in as well uproot their lives. >> absolutely. the sacrifice we talked about
