strewn across. >> the parents of both girlfriends say they never asked kelly for any machine. joycelyn savage's mom wants to but does not want kelly to be present. his father says noah was taking part in a dangerous and longstanding fraternity ritual. >> facebook founder mark zuckerberg is so concerned about his safety that he's had a panic chute installed in facebook headquarters making this the first time facebook has ever cared about protecting someone's security. but being mark zuckerberg sounds pretty amazing. even in the worst case scenario, like, sir, this is serious. we have to remove you from the room. cool! whoopee! i'll gayle king with bianna golodryga, norah o'donnell and john dickerson.

good to see you. we're going to begin with this. a growing number of airlines have stopped flying boeing 737 max 8 jets because of safety concerns. 157 people, including eight americans, were killed when one of those jets crashed in ethiopia on sunday. the faa says it does not plan to ground the planes but will take further action if necessary here. >> the agency says it is not yet drawing comparisons to a crash of the same model that killed 189 people in indonesia last october. it does expect to require improved software and new training guidelines next month related to that lion air crash. u.s. airlines are still flying the max 8 which is now grounded in at least 15 other countries. southwest has 34 of the new model jets, and american airlines has 24. boeing's ceo says he remains confident the planes are safe. president trump is pushing for new border wall fund ngs it $750 billion in t proposal

defense spending, $8.6 billion for barriers on domestic spending, including nearly $220 billion to the program that provides food stamps over the next decade. the former republican senator from arizona, jeff flake, is a cbs news contributor. welcome, senator. we'll get to the budget in a minute. we know presidents' budgets are dead on arrival when they get to congress. i want to ask about something over the weekend. the conversation between two vice presidents. vice president cheney and pence. it was about foreign policy and national security. it was at the american enterprise institute's gathering. this is where the -- this is the republican think tank, or had been. vice president cheney was critical across the board about the trump administration's foreign policy saying it looked more like barack obama's. that's a bigger debate, isn't it? what did you make of that back and forth? >> i'm not sure how much it looks like barack obama's, but it doesn't look like republican foreign policy we've engaged in over the past couple of decades.

republicans have long believed in strong american leadership around the globe so this kind of protectionism on trade policy, isolationism on security policy basically going against your allies, that just is foreign to most republicans. so mike pence, while in congress, republicans were far more like dick cheney than the current trump administration. >> how is it -- >> sorry, john. >> with john bolt op, the national security adviser was from aei. that was putting on the weekend. so this tension exists even within the administration a little bit. but what the president would say is, hey, i was elected to get us out of these foreign entanglements. he said george w. bush should have been impeached for the iraq war. doesn't he have a constituency, too, which is why is america getting involved in all these messy business all over the world? >> not so much getting involved in these businesses but president trump was also very critical of barack obama for

pulling out ofprematy. and so doing or that's what he proposed to do initially in syria. he's now, greatfully, i think, slowed that down a bit. i think that certainly people don't want to get involved in foreign entanglements. but people value american leadership around the globe. and when you involve -- i was chair of the subcommittee on africa and we have a lot of involvement in africa. certainly after pepfar, president bush's program to alleviate human suffering, but it also helped us with security arrangements that we need to deal with al shabab and boca haram and when you isolate yourself, you -- the long-term implications s lpuics. certy m wo about where we are. >> what's the likelihood, if we stay on foreign policy, we see venezuela descend into chaos.

multiple days ofif maduro stays in power that we'll see s? >> i don't think we will. that brings back a specter we don't want to bring back and awakens ghosts that people don't want to awaken in terms of our involvement in central and south america. but i am pleased that the u.s. under the trump administration has strongly said, you know, the maduro era has to go. it has to be a new dawn for venezuela. and so i hope that can happen, obviously, without any military intervention. i don't think that's in the offing. >> you don't? >> i don't. >> what do you think with nancy pelosi saying yesterday that impeachment won't happen. did she provide cover to a number of democrats in trump districts? >> yes, she did. i think that was the purpose. she's been consistent in saying she doesn't want it. i think this is a wise move on her part. she made it very clear this isn't where we ought to go unless the evidence certainly takes us there. >> and the reality is the republican senate would never

vote for impeachment of president trump. >> it's tough to see how it would. >> of all the democrats who have announced they're running and some who have not announced they're running yet, who do you think the republicans are most concerned about? >> well, the one that hasn't announced yet and certainly looks like he will, joe biden. >> chris coombs was here yesterday and said -- >> joe biden is -- i think that strikes fear in a lot of republicans. he can speak to those states that president trump won in the rust belt in particular. and he is seen as more of a centrist. he was a senator for 30-some years. he knows how to work with the senate, with the congress, and i think that that's certainly one that worries republicans. >> and you -- when you were here last time, i missed you last time, but you made it clear you were not thinking about running against donald trump. is there anybody in your party who you have heard is secretly considering it that you would like to share with us today? >> no -- >> that was sort of your wife's

reaction, too. >> all of us think about it, obviously, but i really don't think that there's going to be a serious challenge. john kasich has talked about it. he'd be a strong candidate. he has a strong record as a governor, back in congress as well. but he's not decided to do so. larry hogan has been talked about. he has a strong record. >> do you think somebody should run against him, senator? >> yes, i do. i've said that consistently. i hope somebody does if only to remind republicans what it means to be conservative and what it means to be decent. so i do hope that somebody runs. it won't be me. >> given where the president is polling right now, it's likely not going to happen. >> doesn't look l

maste masters degree. >> i was accepted in new york city. i thought this was going to be great. so easy to get a job in new york city. my dad encouraged me to live off of my loans and not work during grad school, but he said you need to devote 110% of your time and energy to this. >> reporter: combs took out $61,000 in loans and has made nearly $27,000 in payments but because those payments were too small to cover the interest, she now owes $66,000, more than her original loans. >> i will shoulder some of the blame there because i should have read the fine print on every single one of my loans. >> reporter: after pursuing a career in the art world for five years without finding full-time work, colmbs made a career change. she now works at a tech startup, bu her snde. >> i'm able to pay about $900 a month on it. that is really stretching me as thin as i can possibly go.

>> cbs news business manager jill schlesinger writes about student loan debt in her new book "the dumb things mart people do with their money." jill, you are somebody meghan should have called. many people were relate to her, obviously. she owes $66,000 on her loan. what could she have done differently? >> again, if we could turn back time, she may have thought what is it that i can do with this graduate degree. as i said, she graduated undergrad with less than $10,000. we've got so much information about what careers will pay. so, do a little research. will this degree actually allow me to get a job that pays enough. you know, when i look at that being realistic, it really has ve father is y thing. encouraging. at some point, you want as a family to say wait a second, we've got to take a

happen. you want to read the fine print of those loans. don't forget, she did say that. she didn't realize she was getting into a payment program which would kind of freeze the program and have an increase over time. i would say the biggest piece for her is she's going to try to right now, accelerate the paydown of this debt. $900 a month, great. maybe she puts in the max for her retirement account but use all money that pay that loan down. >> do you think heshe's on the right path paying $900 a month. >> i think so. if she can pay more, great. >> for parents getting ready to get their kids ready for college, what are some things that you can negotiate. >> this is a fascinating fact that's not widely disseminated. and that is, when you get your package from various schools you can kind of play one against the other. now, you have to do so as the student him or herself. mommy and daddy, you can't call. what you want to do, you want to

say to the college, hey, abc university has given me a package worth this much. could you match it? can you actually help me out? what kind of work study is there going to be? again, you've got to figure out whether this degree is going to translate into a career and you can pay that debt down. and actually achieve your future financial goals. >> and we know millions of americans will have to resort to taking out a student loan. there's nothing wrong with that. what are some of the things people should look out for? >> the big problem is people taking on gobs of debt. like meghan did. and then saying to yourself, am i going to have a job that's going to make that money. the first job you get out of colleg, let's say you make $30,000, that's the total amount of borrowing that should be done. and for parents, i don't care whether your kid wants to be the most sophisticated artist, artistic collector in the world

rement plans on your part toy put those kids through school. you as a family have to be realistic. you have to be all able to afford these decisions. college degrees pay off, but they don't do so if you have the overhang of thousands and thousands of dollars of debt, either for the parents, the grandparents or the kid. >> think about the questions ab student loan dead, head to the facebook page now. and a woman who was clawed by a jaguar at an arizona zoo and survived. you're watching "cbs this you're watching "cbs this morning."nal congeson,

live with alzheimer's disease but one survey shows that more than 50% of couples dealing with the condition have not discussed their wishes related to having another relationship. this was highlighted when the husband of lifestyle expert bee smith revealed he was in a second relationship while he cared for her. it was a set of circumstances that our barry peter sen is very familiar with. >> my relationship with alzheimer's is personal. 14 years ago my late wife jan was diagnosed with early onset alzheimer's. during part of that time i also had another woman in my life. we called ourselves a family of three. the parallels to bee smith, her husband dan gasby and his girlfriend are uncanny. it's an all too familiar tale for couples dealing with alzheimer's, one where love can be complex, and unconventional. >> what's your dad's name? >> my dad, barbara smith. >> bee smith, lifestyle guru and

restaurateur developed early onset alzheimer's six years ago. >> still makes you laugh, right? >> today husband dan gasby is caring for his wife of 27 years. >> whenealized what we're dealing with, and she understood what the situation is, she said to me i know what i have, i know where it's going to take me. tell the story, tell the truth. >> in january he spoke that truth, and let cameras into his home. the home he shares with his wife and his girlfriend alex learner who also has a bedroom in the house and helps with bee's care. >> if he wanted to have a relationship, alex, you could have chosen a lot easier path. >> yes, that's true. >> why this one? >> i've met dan when he was pretty much at his lowest. i remember going through a time in my life where i felt that way, where i was pretty much at my lowest.

and i saw the pain in his eyes, i did. and i reached out, and thought maybe this man just needs somebody to talk to. you know. or, as humans, sometimes we just need a hug. >> it was natural, it was organic, it was not intentional, but we fell into each other. >> does she still know who you are? >> she will call me dad. she will call me her brother gary or her brother ron, then she'll say, dan out of nowhere and then i say who? dan, he's over there. there may be something in her mind that says that, but then it's gone. it's like trying to drink water from a col anner, no matter how much you bring it to you, there's nothing there. >> something i experienced with my wife j, aft almost5s tether n siste lg a longered m. what's ? >> mr. happy. >> that's when i met mary nell

i want her t marry a better person than me. and i want her to be at peace. i just don't want her to marry someone who's handsome. >> what you said greg is what my wife said to me, i want you to go on, because if you truly love someone, you don't own them. and what you said is the true, to me, expression of love. >> so greg asked if we would -- now that we know you, if we would watch out for you. and the answer is yes. >> yes. >> yes, definitely. >> resoundingly yes. >> so meaningful. >> so the question for everybody at this table is, havd to do it you're young enough to discuss this, by the time the person you love isia mer's, is already too late. >> it's such a very powerful

story, barry, that you're sharing and i think it's so important for people to consider it. a lot of people judge, as greg said, they judge and don't know, i know dan and i've met alex and she's really lovely and very dedicated to helping barbara get through all of this. i'm so glad you told their story. what was your take on them as a couple, the way that dan has devoted himself to barbara in a very, very huge way? >> well, i think that let's give credit to alex because she came into this relationship. >> yeah. >> she's now a co-caregiver, you know, he said he did it because he vowed that he would tell the truth. but there's one other thing that's important. the fact that he's willing to talk about it in this way means a lot of other people who were in this situatio oh god, i'm not alone. >> how important are the bonds? >> you too, thank you for doing that. >> yeah. >> he's taking care of barbara when she's way -- when the disease is really progressing.

isn't that unusual too? >> way past when i would have been capable of taking care of jan. i'd already made the decision to put jan into assisted living. but it's 24 hours. i cannot stress how much this is. you never really sleep. and i just have such admiration for his doing this. but i don't want him to do it to the point where he gets sick. >> how important, and how cool are these bonds? it seemed like it was, watching the piece between the couples. >> well, i think between dan and alex, and obviously between myself and mary nell, i think these are life-saving relationships, literally they keep you from falling under and dying. so i've talked about this for a very long time and i say to people, listen, you can't help the person who has theis bee we don have s help the person who's the caregiver because they're the ones who are struggling to survive. >> and don't judge when you're not in that situation, that's a very important message to send. >> we made a presentation one

time to a group, among them many professional caregivers and one came up afterward and said, you know, it never occurred to me, i only do this for eight hours and i get to go home. >> wow, we are tracking a dry cold front that will kick up the wins for us. we have breezy to windy conditions with a mix of sun and clouds. increasing mid to high level clouds with plenty of sunshine with warm temperatures as we eezy twind and then warm-up, especially by the weekend.

i'm happy. am i ridiculous? >> you like narrating your life. >> you know, there are psychological studies that say when people are happy they look desperately for things to make them unhappy. >> that was emmy and tony award winning actress christine baranski starring on "the good fight," she's best known for playing diane lockhart on "the good wife," and cbs all access "the good fight," baranski's character reflects on life while spending quality time with her husband kurt. what was happening in that episode? >> you could tell from my line a bliss in her newly refurbished bedroom and her husband has decided to cut back on his work

so he can commit himself to the marriage. and it's a perfectly happy and it's all downhill after that. we were doing a tv drama that happens to take place in the current political cultural climate. so how can anyone wake up and say i'm happy, and for that to last for long? so diane's life gets complicated rather quickly. she finds a little blond hair on his jacket and says, what's that? >> and she doesn't ignore it either. >> no. >> she confronts it, very interesting to see who that blond hair belongs to. >> yeah. >> but i love this diane lockhart character because you played her on "the good wife" for so long, i thought how will they make this work in another iteration. se seems to be having a really good time. can we describe that about you as well? >> oh, my gosh, for seven years i played diane lockhart, and she was a powerful woman who, you know, ran her own law firm. and she was always in the room where it happens she was

and you saw this woman, and i feel like the culture's finally caught up with diane lockhart. now there are six women candidates for president and we have nancy pelosi, just answer the questions. and then we have you saying i'm just going to sit here until you answer the question. it's a great time to be a woman of any age, but certainly a woman with experience, a woman with life experience, education, a sense of herself, confidence, and -- >> how are you feeling, christine? i look at you, you seem to be working harder. looking better. doan as an insult. i feel that too about myself. >> it's the best time in my life. i raised two beautiful daughters, i have three grandchildren. i lost my husband four years ago, but my life has continued in aam nowbe onen call sheein myself in the lead of a show,

making more money. and last year i did ""mamma mia!" and singing and dancing with meryl and cher, my life's pretty good. >> is what you're saying that people recognize all of that genius that you just described, or you have -- you don't have to push as hard as you would have 20 years ago? what do you think the difference is now? >> good question. >> the great thing is i never -- maybe because i didn't consider my beauty or my prettiness, i never was the pretty leading lady, i never defined my life by my beauty or my youth. that wasn't my commodity. what i had was, you know, a level of talent and ambition and ability to work very hard. i've just kept doing it. so i would say to young women don't think of, you know, don't think of your life in terms of your youth or how am i going to hold onto it for dear life? ats mostbls the hat as you cultivation of good work, your

character, your life experience, the people whose relationships you are comfortable with who are worth knowing. and i have all that in my life. >> well said. >> so i have -- >> where's the wood? >> i have a good life. >> people are taking notes. >> i marvel at this role, you didn't know what it was going to be and you just said i'll do it without a pilot. >> there's a good reason for that. we had seven happy years of doing "the good wife," and juliana carried that show on her back. about her story, she was the wife wronged by her husband who slept with a hooker and that brought down his political career. doesn't that sound quaint now? anyway -- >> less than five seconds. >> okay. but they conceived of a spinoff for this character. and it's worked out mainly because i wanted to work with those writers. >> you're a bad ass christine, ♪ oh, yeah
