7:15 am
rally for catholic families in philadelphia. no one should expect it to be that simple. in the first place francis record for rallies makes it a major challenge for organizers. speaking to reporters on his flight home from asia francis laid out some of his u.s. itinerary. in a preview of the kind of message he will be bringing francis said he would have liked to enter u.s. by way of mexico border saying it would have been a beautiful thing as a sign of brotherhood and help to the immigrants. francis is expected to address congress and united nations, a message that will probably seize and trouble. >> i think for the vatican the most important goal is to draw attention to social issues climate. they have to get everybody on board with the message.
7:16 am
>> reporter: he has a very untraditional way of making a point. in an unexpected use francis said catholics don't have to breed like rabbits and should instead practice responsible parenting. he also warned against what he termed insidious attacks against the family which was widely interpreted as a reference to gay marriage. there are plans to visit. all those together likely to pale next to the effects francis will have when he hits u.s. shores. >> a lot of people will be waiting for him. this morning marks the official start of tax season. the irs is open for business and today americans can begin filing electronic and paper returns. >> with changes from the affordable care act tax filers should be ready for delays. jill schlesinger is with us.
7:17 am
what are the important changes? >> the biggest is the affordable care act. you have to account for whether or not you had insurance. there is basically four broad categories. one is you were covered by an employer plan or government plan. you qualify for one of the government's exemptions so you didn't have to sign up and get care. the third, you qualify for a premium tax credit meaning you went through the market place. you can get the credit no problem but you have to wait for a tax form to come before you start to file. and then the individual shared responsibility payment is a penalty that you pay for not having coverage. those are your four broad categories for affordable care act. >> we have been talking about the budget cuts here at cbs at the irs. what else can taxpayers expect to be effected. >> there is going to be many fewer people available to help you out.
7:18 am
that is the call and the waiting. it means there are fewer people that the irs help you around fraud. fraud is a huge deal right now. the irs gives five big tips around fraud. first of all, they say we don't actually send e-mail but if you get called by someone who says i am from the irs and they demand payment that is a red flag. the irs will not call you and ask for a payment. if they say we have to pay your taxes right this second the irs does not demand payment from a phone call. the third thing that they do differently is many of the scams are saying you have to use a debit card to pay us what you owe. you don't have to do that. they don't ask for credit card or debit numbers over the phone. >> thanks so much. and two delta planes are clear to fly after a bomb threat grounded both threats last night. more than 170 people evacuated
7:19 am
flight 568 from san francisco. police surrounded the plane and found nothing. they screened another plane with the same flight number. it is 7:19. ahead, bikers riding in the name of peace they say but breaking the law in the process. why police say they cannot c this national weather report sponsored by mercedes-benz.

gps: proceed to the designated route. not today. for patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. plus, with no known dietary restrictions jim can eat the healthy foods he likes. don't stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto® watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems.

astronaut scott kelly will try something no american has done before. he will spend a year in space. his twin is former astronaut mark kelly. mark's role happens here on earth. >> reporter: good morning. this is the international space station mock up where the astronauts do their actual training. there are 4.5 million twins living in the u.s. but only one pair of identical twin astronauts, scott and mark kelly. now as nasa looks towards the possibility of a three year long round trip to mars the kelly brothers have become crucial into understanding what the long-term effects of living in zero gravity are for the human body. >> i am the type of person that
8:13 am
likes challenges. >> reporter: scott kelly will be conducting numerous experiments but his mission -- >> holes here for your arms. >> reporter: is to study challenges long term exposures to extremes of space for on humans. do you think the human body and human mind are capable of long trips in space right now? >> people do really well on space stations. it is the medical stuff, stuff like radiation and loss of bone mass and muscle mass those things that we need to figure out. >> reporter: mark will also take part in figuring it out but back here on earth. >> i'm in the laboratory on earth. i'm in the mri machine tomorrow for like four hours. >> having mark as the control subject is very fortunate not only because we are twins but he is a former astronaut and nasa has data going back.
8:14 am
>> reporter: genetically the brothers are almost identical so scientists will be able to measure how scott and mark change physically and emotionally as months pass. the human body was made for living in gravity. strange things happen to us when we spend long periods of time without it. bones get fragile, heart weakens, eyes lose shape. that never deterred the former test pilots from dreaming of becoming astronauts. >> more time in space now. >> scott did two flights on the space shuttle and six months in the space station. >> reporter: it was scott who was orbiting earth in space when he got word his sister in law, congress woman gabrielle giffords had been shot. >> the chief of the office said to me i don't know how to tell you this so i'm going to tell you, your sister in law was shot
8:15 am
and she is in the hospital. we don't have a whole lot more information. >> it's one of the things that makes this the significant thing to do. you are not getting in a car or on an airline and flying home. that ain't happening. >> reporter: as part of the newest mission the brothers will undergo ten medical and psychological tests each day from measuring bone density to taking sonograms of eyes to counting bacteria in their guts. >> when you get back do you think you are going to look and feel older than your twin? >> i will probably feel a little bit older than i am right now, but i don't think i will feel older than him. i think according to einstein's theories i will be a little bit younger. >> i was born six minutes earlier. it is not going to make that difference. >> reporter: the brothers say they have never been competitive with each other but mark does admit to a little envy. >> it is a big commitment to go into space for a year but i would be lying if i didn't tell
8:16 am
you i wish i would be blasting off in a rocket. >> reporter: because the body grows in zero gravity he may come back a tiny bit taller than his older brother if only temporarily. he will be seated next to the first lady during tonight's state of the union address. that was an honor that his brother mark had in 2012. >> great interview. so interesting to watch. what a great story and fascinating experiment. >> can't wait to see what happens. >> those guys look so much alike. without the mustache it would be hard to tell them apart. mike greenberg will give us his take on the scandal of whether the patriots deflated footballs and more on his new book. you are watching "cbs this morning." n't tell if the paste whitened. well the whitestrips worked. yeah. the paste didn't do that. crest whitestrips work below the enamel surface to whiten 25x better than a leading whitening toothpaste. crest whitestrips. the way to whiten.

the nfl's investigation of the patriots is just one of the big sports headlines you can expect mike greenberg to talk about on the espn radio show. he is a best selling novelist. his new book exploits how one man's perfect life falls apart and the difficult journey to put it together. >> thank you all for having me. i had such a good time last time
8:21 am
i was here. >> we will talk about the book in a second. we have to talk about the sports of the day. how big of a deal is this deflated ball. >> we just had a catch. you cannot possibly tell the difference in the level of inflation of these balls. that doesn't mean there is no difference. i will say two things. there is an old expression that comes from nascar ifou ain't cheating you ain't trying. everybody is trying to find a way to bend the rules. the patriots get caught more than anyone else. the second part is the final score of the game was 45-7. if it was 45-44 i would be more inclined to entertain this conversation. >> are the patriots more likely to try to cheat than other teams in the nfl? >> i don't think so. you look at the stories i work among others you hear stories of guys where they smear crisco on jerseys so no one can grab them.
8:22 am
is that cheating? that is bending the rules. >> before we turn to the book. >> i think it is a fascinating matchup because both sides have history to play for. if the seahawks and this defense win back-to-back champions they may be the greatest defense of all time. if brady beats this defense to win his fourth super bowl then he stakes the claim to being the greatest quarterback of all time. you have enormous historical significance. >> who has the advantage? >> it is impossible to say. the old addage is defense wins championships. >> can we talk about the book? >> i will be delighted. >> when i woke up that morning my life was perfect. happily married. he comes home early. he runs into what he thinks is his wife cheating and off to the
8:23 am
races to discover what is going on. in the middle of that he wants to know his father who is now deceased. the father has five exwives and makes a point to learn about his dad. i think you will like the book. i really like this book. >> if you come home and find your wife with another man is that cheating? whose fault was this? >> the premise of the book is i took a guy a little like me a married guy with two kids and all he cares about is his family and i decided to put him in the worst situation which would be to have my family threatened. the more traditional way. >> cheating didn't happen at your house? >> i certainly hope not. i will be home early today. i decided to throw him into this deep end of a pool and see how he would try to find his way out of it. i think a lot of people were
8:24 am
surprised at the way i ended it. what he chooses to do at the end of the book is what i would have done. >> i was not happy. >> gayle yelled at me for five minutes. >> i didn't yell. it was a discussion. >> it was an intriguing title to think about interviewing them to find out more about his own father. >> he never had a relationship with his father, hadn't seen him since he was 9 years old and his father is gone. he decides he needs to understand who his father was in order to understand himself and his wife. he travels around the world. >> learned a lot about his dad. >> character likes barry man manilow. i take exception to what he watches in the morning. >> i will say this. if he was smart he would be watching "cbs this morning." >> good t to see you. >>

welcome back to "cbs this morning." coming up in this half hour the imitation game is another success story for mr. man harvey weinstein in our green room. we will look at the movie's oscar nominations, the back lash over the academy's lack of diversity. american try to cash in on the craze for spicy condiments. time to show you some of this morning's headlines. the "boston globe" says patriots defensive lineman made a heroic play after the team's win. a few hours after the game he rescued a woman from her
8:31 am
overturned jeep. he used one hand to pull her out. >> i learned just try to stay poised in certain situations. i'm pretty sure she was kind of scared. last thing i wanted to do is have her panic. that's the first thing i told her is don't panic. i will get you out of here. >> reporter: duke university basketball coach krzyzewski is one victory away from reaching win number 1,000. coach k. earned win number 999 yesterday when the blue devils beat pittsburgh 79-65. on sunday he goes for win number 1,000 when duke plays st. john. >> any predictions mr. duke
8:32 am
would be shy, as well. the imitation game has cracked a code of critical and audience success. the movie earned eight nominations including best director and best picture. >> of course that's what you are working on. you also haven't gotten anywhere with it. if you hadn't you wouldn't be hiring out of university. >> you need me a lot more than i need you. >> i like solving problems commander. most difficult problem in the world. >> it is impossible. americans, russians french germans, everyone thinks enigma is unbreakable. >> let me try and we will know for sure. >> imitation game $1 million at the global box office over the
8:33 am
weekend. harvey weinstein joins us at the table. let's go right to the "american sniper" business. what do you make of that? does that effect what happens at the oscar voting level? >> it is a great movie. i think michael moore may have gotten misquoted. i think that he and that team might get together my inside sources tell me. >> he is back pedaling a little already? >> i don't know about that. i would tell you michael's theater is probably the only theater i know that is free to service men. so if you are a service man you go to michael's theaters in michigan for nothing and families for nothing. i think it is something about his family looked at snipers a certain way and that became a quote like snipers are cowardly. it wasn't a reaction i don't think to this movie. i think people put two quotes together. i think michael will come out today and clarify his position
8:34 am
about the whole sniper issue. >> how about the question of diversity in the academy voting? >> you know as i told oprah one of the producers of the film five days before i did an interview with "wall street journal" i was one of the producers of "all the way" which was the lyndon johnson show on broadway. nobody came and said to us you are making lyndon johnson a political animal. there is three hours of watching him wrestle that voting rights bill on stage. he did not look like an idol to me and then research said the same thing. i think martin luther king made his time. i think lyndon johnson was a man of his times so he served the times. i think that there was a right tact on the movie. i think these are people who are close to johnson and want to preserve the memory. i am shocked that they didn't hit us earlier.
8:35 am
i am kind of surprised that they didn't if that is what they meant. i don't think anybody thinks lyndon johnson before he became vice president was -- that wasn't exactly the measure of the man. >> some people say that this is all part of the oscar smear campaign. "american sniper," selma. >> i think in the case of the imitation game it started with a review in the new york review of books and claimed that allen turring didn't kill himself, that we were saying that to glorify him. to me when we did the research it dropped the idea that in 1930 there was a conversation where he was fascinated with the legend of snow white and the poisoned apple. both things that he worked on.
8:36 am
when a biaug rfer dropped an interview one of our greatest war heroes -- all of this is convenient. if i am an editor i was promising you we didn't say let's right a really good story around oscar time and celebrate that bradley cooper in that movie does more for post traumatic stress syndrome or that allen touring 60,000 gay people -- >> let's talk about smear campaigns. i'm not making accusations about you, but there are whispers that when it comes to smear campaigns nobody is better at it than harvey weinstein. >> i love you so i e-mailed five minutes after -- >> you have heard that before. >> people say anybody who wins doesn't win by having great movies. they say they win by some alchem
8:37 am
votes. >> 110 votes. >> there is no way about -- i learned a long time ago because of my success i spend less money than anybody and work twice as hard, maybe five times as hard. i called oprah because david oyeleo didn't get nominated. we found out immediately maybe you did that lyndon johnson. then he said it was another studio.
8:38 am
i don't do that. i will tell you easy. i make the babe ruth statement. the reason i don't do it is because i find it reprehensible and my dad didn't bring me up that way. i love winning. >> for the record we are not saying you did one of these things talking about your ability to influence. you know how to market a film. and you know how to find out the difference between your film and other films. >> when they write the book i have a feeling they will look at the imitation game king's speech and say those were great movies. >> i think they are going to say that he knew how to produce great movies. >> but not necessarily movie of the year. >> what is your choice? >> when shakespeare won i thought -- >> i asked hesten who has politics so the right of my own politics. he told me why he voted for
8:39 am
that movie. >> back to the central question. congratulations to "the imitation game" for getting eight nominations. that morning all the actors and actresses, they are all white. >> last year -- >> reminded me of. [ laughter ] >> last year i did the mandela and none of them got nominated.
8:40 am
"12 years a slave" won. good for that. it certainly deserved it. one thing you have to realize about oscars. amy adams won the golden globe. when you get a movie late it's hard. people are busy. last year i think mistakes made was last year because of the olympics season was two weeks longer. it was a short season this year. if you didn't get the dvds out on time you paid the price. so there is a large part -- i'm not saying it isn't about diversity. >> tell us about what you are doing to digitally remaster classics. >> i always loved great movies of all sorts. surprisingly or maybe not so surprisingly a movie geek in my spare time. i love cinema. with direct television we re-mastered john wayne's circus world. it hasn't been anywhere in 60
8:41 am
years. no dvd version. it's just a big epic. john wayne movie we haven't seen. then we did the one on wednesday promoting that. i think these are two great big movies. >> you are certainly a kid who follows his passion. i loved walking to the green room. mike greenberg is making a pitch to you about you should make a movie out of my book. >> when i was in england the thing that is important to me i was willing to give up my own cd. this guy has not been honored. there are 60,000 gay people who -- >> they pardoned him. and they haven't pardoned the 60,000 other gay people. i would give up mine and i think other people would give up theirs. >> always good to see you.

8:47 am
the hell boy. >> this is insane. >> reporter: and so with the customer's reaction. >> they asked for a go container. initially i was selling people tiny plastic containers out of the restaurant. >> reporter: as demand grew he expanded production beyond the kitchen. >> it is the hardest part of operating a small business is scaling up. >> reporter: found a local that supplies the wild flower honey. >> we run around 4,000 colonies of bees for honey production. >> reporter: beekeeper adds the sting to the honey, as well overseeing production. >> this is the holding tank for
8:48 am
raw honey. this keeps it just warm enough so that we can comp it through this tube and into our mixing tank over here. these are our chili peppers. we are going to dump these into the mixing tank. >> after the chilies have infused into the honey you run it through a special filtration process which ends in this tank which is our bottling tank. >> it is a sweet spot to get behind the bar. >> reporter: tracking the growth of hot cossauces. >> it has heat and sweet. that is a magical combination that i think the american pallet is driven towards. you have influencers using it. >> you don't have a guy pitching the product for you? >> the hot honey has grown through word of mouth alone. it is in retail stores across the country and as far away as kuwait. using it from delved eggs to fried chicken. even bartenders are mixing it into cocktails including at new york city's mandarin. >> where does the pepper come
8:49 am
from and where can i get it? >> unfortunately i'm going to have to keep that close. >> with success comes competition and his isn't the only hot honey on the market. >> we fully anticipated that others would try to copy us. >> which is why he asked us not to reveal his spicy secret. he did let us feel the burn of the pepper. >> cheers. >> >> you like hot food? >> i do like spicy food. >> did you start crying? >> it was so spicy i was like whoa! >> it is a good combination.
