than just naked pictures. it pushed the envelope on sexuality and journalism with in-depth articles and high-profile interviews. >> good evening. i'm hugh hefner your host. >> reporter: and his tv show "playboy after dark" helped break down racial barriers. building "playboy" and its bunnies into the empire. the mansions, private jets, infamous silk pajamas, and, of course, the women. >> you have taken a great pride in celebration of pleasure. >> yes. i don't see a lot to be said for the celebration of pain. >> reporter: from magazines to computer screens, "playboy" lost circulation but hefner made a comeback on tv. >> through it all, women will remain your muse. you'll never stop seeing them as beautiful and mysterious.

meantime eight days after hurricane maria flattened much of puerto rico, basic resources like food, water, fuel, and medicine are still hard to find. supplies have arrived but they're not getting to the 3.4 million americans on the island. the lack of power is hindering relievests. fishlgs say more than 91% of puerto rico cell phone sites are out of service. david begnaud is outside a gas station in san juan where people are desperate for fuel. david, good morning. >> reporter: it's been a week since hurricane maria made landfall. this family is waiting inside waiting for fuel. this family slept in their car and they've been waiting since 9:00 a.m. yesterday. this is the gas station where everyone is flocking to. they ran out of fuel last night.

they're going to get another shipment but they're running out every day. officials say the local children's hospital in san juan going to run out of fuel if they don't get more by this morning. thousands of shipping containers are sitting at the port of san juan. >> in these containers, we have medicine, water. >> reporter: he says the stalled supplies could help more than a half million puerto ricans. >> reporter: it's maddening looking out here seeing it sitting knowing that people are desperate for water. >> it's sad and frustrating as well. unless trucking companies start showing up, unfortunately there's nothing that we can do. >> reporter: the governor ricardo rossello told us there's a shortage of drivers to deliver it. >> the bus drivers that traditionally could take these foods, they're not appearing. >> you can't find them or you can't reach them? >> we can't find them.

we can't reach them. >> most roads are blocked and fuel is in short supply. lines stretch for a half mile or more as people wait in the stifling heat for basic necessities like gas for generators. >> this is our third day waiting for gas. with the tanks, they hold very little. one gallon, two gallons, five gallons. it's not enough. >> it's very bad. it's horrible. we're american citizens. we're not better than anyone. we're not worse than anyone. >> if you want to help drive a truck here in puerto rico. if you can get here and have a license to do so here's a number the governor just gave me. 469-4 o 1-9603. call that number. you'll get a text number. they're going to get you ready. that's how desperate they are. they'll take anyone who will volunteer. >> thanks, david. america's military is

boosting its efforts to boost puerto rico. fema is asking for military vehicles to clear roads an bring in supplies. the coast guard said yesterday it delivered 3,000 meals and 4,500 liters of water. omar villafranca embedded with the marines on the u s s"uss kearsag kearsage". >> reporter: good morning. it dodged three hurricanes in the caribbean to help deliver recovery to the islands, dropping off marines and vital supplies to those who need it the most. the nerve center for the military's humanitarian center in puerto rico is floating just a few miles offsore. sailors and marines from the uss se kearsage were near the island that got the most hit.

>> we want to get responder and relief supplies in through the airports as well as seaports. >> reporter: no longer are they doing search and rescue missions. they're now in relief mode delivering food, water, even tarps so people can get their lives back to normal. but getting back to normal won't be easy. during a flight over the northeastern part of the island, we got a firsthand look at the damage, and it's extenextensive. from the air, there were no relief crews in site. this petty officer is part of the relief effort, but this mission is harder for the puerto rican native. he hasn't heard from his family. >> obviously i'm in the military. i have to keep my head in the game. >> reporter: both planes and helicopters are constantly going

from the "uss kearsage." >> we're here for as long as we have to. it's a noble mission and we're happy to help it. >> reporter: more are coming by land and by sea. 4,000 army corps of engineers have arrived and the navy is sending their floating hospital "the comfort" which should arrive next week. gayle? >> can't get there too soon. president trump is promising to deliver what he calls historic tax relief for the american people. the president unveiled details of his proposal yesterday in indiana. he called the plan a miracle for the middle class. >> we're going to cut taxes for the middle class, make the tax code simpler and more fair for everyday americans. >> now, the president's plan would collapse the current seven individual tax brackets down to three. 12%, 25%, and 35%.

the cuts are aimed at corporations. the 35% rate would plummet to 25%. many of the details still remain unclear. democrats say it's a windfall for the wealthy. >> it's unclear how much that plan will help. meanwhile the oversight committee is investigating trump's travel practices. the administration was already under fire by health and human services secretary erat price and now steve manu shann. now we learn they paid tens of thousands for scott pruitt to take noncommercial flights. juliana goldberg has more. good morning. >> good morning. the noncommercial air travel by the trump officials is unprecedent. documents obtained by cbs news shows the environmental protection agency and its administrator scott pruitt have spent more than $58,000 in

noncommercial travel costs since february. on july 27th, epa administrator scott pruitt flew on a private plane from his hometown in tulsa to an event in oklahoma. then he boarded the same 12-seat learjet and flue to oklahoma city. records obtained by cbs news, he spent in total 83 minutes in the air, costing taxpayers more than $14,000. the epa says flight was chartered through the interior department as part of an interagency program. there were no commercial flights available and the drive was five hours each way. >> process, rule of law, and cooperative federalism, that's how we're going to do business at the epa. >> reporter: in total pruitt has spent $60,000 in noncommercial travel since february. they requested the details last month. in june taxpayers shelled out $36,000 when pruitt flew on an

air force jet from cincinnati to new york where he caught a flight to italy for an international summit. in august pruitt took a $5,700 air charter from denver to durango, colorado. on wednesday president trump was asked to address travel costs of other members of his cabinet including treasury secretary steve mnuchin's use of government and military planes and $400 wrapped up by his hhs secretary tom price. >> i was looking into it and i will look into it. i will tell you personally i'm not happy about it. >> inspectors general at the epa, the treasury department and the department of health and human services are looking into it. the epa office approved all of pruitt's noncommercial travel and, charlie, a spokesperson says he's taken one charter and three additional flights and there have been no further

flights. >> thanks. we learned yesterday that a number of tech companies will testify in public sometime next month. members of congress are pressing for an explanation of how russian internet trolls used social media and ads like these during the 2016 presidential election. jep pegues is on capitol hill. jeff, good morning. >> good morning. congressional investigators are still trying to get a handle on how widespread this russian international troll operation really was. what they know that these russian internet trolls were able to purchase ads like these on facebook which were sought to cause division with pictures and incendiary language. we found that at least one in 3,000 ads targeted baltimore, ferguson, and the black lives movement. and james lankford said while

some nfl players wiere protesting, trolls were pushing out. >> they were trying to raise the noise level in america very meanwhile facebook founder mark zuckerberg pushed bay against a tweet by the president in which mr. trump said facebook was always anti-trump. zuckerberg said both sides were upset about ideas and content they don't like. >> a lot more pressure on the social media sites. thank you. meantime the federal bribery into the game of basketball may have cost a head coach his job. pitino was placed on administrative unpaid leave. his lawyer said he was

effectively fired. >> reporter: good morning. rick pitino has not been charged with any crimes but cbs has learned he is referred to as coach 2, someone who may have had a role in providing payments to a highly prized recruits family. rick pitino led the louisville cardinals to more than 400 wins including 2013 ncaa championship, but on wednesday he left the campus in disgrace, the program he led to a power house. >> it is vital for this university to strictly adhere to ncaa rules and, of course, federal law. >> reporter: federal officials say adidas gave funds. a program adidas sponsored.

investigators alleged pitino identified in court filings as coach 2 spoke with an adidas executive on the phone three times in what may have been an attempt to get bowens' family additional money. what has the reaction been among the players? >> they're sad. their parents are sad. all of them now are watching their mentor go. and that's a lot to deal with when you're 20 years old. >> reporter: pitino's attorney says the information disclosed thus far is clearly insufficient end to implicate coach pitino in any type of misconduct. it's important to note here as this is all going on, louisville is dealing with a fallout from previous scandal involving players and prostitutes, one that could cost this team its 2013 national title. as of yesterday, two committed recruits said they are no longer coming to louisville. gayle? >> wow. thank you very much, dana

certainly is not a healthy kind of sex. >> we consider it healthy. >> by 1970 he had more than 70 million readers. he built this idea that sex is important to people. with us is matt bellamy. good morning, matt. >> good morning. >> he certainly changed the culture. that came with some controversial. back in the day there were a lot of protests about how women were portrayed in the magazine. what do the critics say today about the legacy that he's left? >> i think it's a very complicated legacy because on the one hand "playboy" was criticized. it was the first major mainstream magazine to feature nude women and it was in the context of politics and lifestyle and 5u8 these other things, but it was essentially a naked women magazine. people like gloria steinem at the time very opposed. she said playboy could fill a

book about what it doesn't know about women. on the other hand it has progressive politics. it was one of the magazines that interview interviewed mlk and muhammad ali. they talked politics. that u were pro-choice at a time when many were not openly so and very first amendment. these were things the culture caught up to but "playboy" was doing it at a time in the '50s, '60s, '70s when they weren't doing it. >> when i was growing up, there were two magazines you collected growing up, "playboy" and ""national geographic." the circulation has dropped as have many magazines. how does the magazine and the brand go forward in a digital age? >> it's a tough road. recently cooper hefner, hugh's

son, has assumed control of the brand, but the magazine, they've gone through a rocky tenure with multiple editors. they got rid of nude pictures an then they brought them back. they have a licensing business where the brand is meaningful around the world. in the u.s. the culture has struggled. they have to find a way to make the playboy brand iconic. >> everyone will remember that. matt, thank you so much. >> thank you. most of the synthetic drugs at the center of the opioid crisis comes from china. ahead we'll take you inside the biggest national mailing company where we'll learn about the new record of the shipment of drugs. we invite you to live to to cbs podcast. i listen to it every day. you get extended interviews and podcasts.

it's thursday, september 28th, 2017. welcome back to "cbs this morning." puerto rico's hospital patients are in dauncher after hurricane maria. ahead, dr. jon lapook goes to one hospital where doctors have never seen anything like this. plus, the controversial case of a woman accused of killing not one, but both of her husbands. oops. erin moriarty is here with how "48 hours" is investigating the accusations. but first here's today's "eye opener" at 8:00. the playboy founder who led his business empire in his pajamas died last night in his home. >> it was a controversial

magazine with politics and sex. it's been a week since hurricanes made landfall and these are americans sitting in line desperately trying to get fuel. >> the uss sear sarge dodged three hurricanes to help the islands recover from the storm. the noncommercial air travel by trump administration officials is unprecedented. >> rick pitino hasn't bnld charged with any crimes but he may have played a role in providing payments to recruits' families. >> #boycott the nfl and #takea h knee. >> there are rumors peyton manning could run for senate. yeah, sure, why not. expert says there's no way that mixing the nfl and politics could possibly go wrong.

>> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" at 8:00 is presented by liberty mutual insurance. i'm charlie rose with gayle king and bee bianna golodryga is. norah o'donnell is on assignment. hugh hefner has died. h was the pioneer behind sexual revolution for decades. >> he promised this. humor, sophistication, and spice. >> in 2003 on my pbs program i asked hefner how the magazine survived competition. when "penthouse" came along and larry flint's magazine "hustler" came along, did you say to yourself, my god, i'm in trouble because the cutting edge has gone beyond where i am? >> no, i never felt that, quite frankly. you have to remember even in the 1950s, "playboy" was the most imitated magazine out there. so it was really only in the

late '60s and early '70s that "penthouse" and "hustler" were out there. i never thought of it as competition. i thought "playboy" encompassed a whole variety of interests. >> world-famous for his silk pajamas and playboy playmates, he died of natural causes. he was 91. >> he died at home at the "playboy" mansion. >> i think if you're going to die at 91 in your home in your bed, i think what a great life he's had. in the last hour, remember how charlie said you read either "playboy" or ""national geographic"" you know where i'm going. the answer is -- >> you're suggesting the kinds of pictures -- that i'm wondering what you were reading? >> culture.

>> charlie red "playboy" for the articles. >> and the interviews. 69 hospitals on the islands are open for capacity but some are worried they won't have enough fuel and other supplies to keep going. dr. jon lapook is in san juan talking with patients and doctors talking about their fears as the crisis continues. jon, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, bianna. for many of those injured there, the crisis isn't just continuing. it's increasing. they're worried they could soon run out of medications. and there's another problem. the shortage of clean fresh water is especially dangerous for people with underlying medical issues. >> are you looking for help? >> i'm looking for a lot of help. >> reporter: dr. sharee umpierre

is looking for help. >> number one is communications, then our power, how we're going to get things done, when our supplies are going to run out. >> reporter: because of the widespread devastation, many facilities are closed. with resources limited, triage tempts have been set up on the driveway to treat patients arriving by ambulance. every patient here has their own story of adversity. this woman drove her injured husband to two closed hospitals before arriving. 36-year-old marcelina lopez is six months' pregnant. she fell during the hurricane and it took her two days to reach the hospital. she's had four miscarriages and she's concerned about how she'll get to the hospital if something happens. >> this is turning rapidly into a health care crisis. >> a crisis for the patients and the doctors who care for them. >> i see your eyes starting to

moisten as you talk about this. this is very emotional for you. >> this is extremely emotional. this is unparallel. we have never witnessed anything like this before. >> reporter: gayle, doctors here told me they don't even know how many people are out there, stuck at home, unable to call 911. and they also said some pregnant women, even those at high risk have been forced to deliver at home. they walk into the hospitals carrying their newborns. gayle? >> dr. jon lapook in puerto rico, thank you. president trump says that cob has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to pass a sweeping tax overhaul. the republican plan just introduced yesterday would create three individual income tax brackets. they're 12%, 25%, and 35%. republicans say middle-class americans will benefit from nearly doubling the standard deduction and boosting the child care tax credit but senate democratic leader chuck schumer

said the plan of the corporate cuts and state tax largely benefits the rich. secretary mnuchin joins us from washington. good morning. >> good morning. it's great to be here with you. >> tax reform or tax cuts are hard because you have to pay for them. either you have to uncrease the growth of the economy or you have to have additional increases in spending or decreases in spending. and people worry that if you don't produce economic growth, you're going to have to cut spending and that means cutting entitlements. what happens if you don't have economic growth? >> charlie, i think you know we're very comfortable. the president's number one focus is creating economic growth in regulatory taxes and trade. it creates over $2 trillion of revenue and $10 trillion of economic growth. >> you know that's a summary many people disagree with.

you can't reach 3% growth. >> some people disagree. most people agree. i would remind you the obama projections were higher than that, but they were only 2% because of ta various policies coming out of the financial crisis. >> people are speaking up very loudly saying the rich are getting richer. why is not not the case. >> i said before the president has committed this is about a middle-income tax cut, simplifying tax cuts and making our corporations and pass-throughs competitive with the rest of the world. >> mr. secretary, cabinet members like yourself have come under scrutiny for the use of private planes and military planes. can you promise taxpayers for the rest of your time in office you'll use commercial aircraft and flights? >> i can promise people that i

will use them either for national security or we have to get to various different things where there's no other means. with respect to the corporate repape yags, how do you guarantee the funds the corporations will then have will be used for economic growth, to build plants, hire people, and create jobs? >> well, charlie, we're very comfortable with the concept of there's going to be a one-time tax on what we call deemed repatriation. you can think of it effectively of going from a worldwide system to a territorial system. as a result of that, i think we'll get back somewhere between $2 trillion and $4 trillion. it's an incredible amount of money that will come back here. we're very comfortable that the combination of that and immediate expensing is going to create massive investment in the united states. >> can we focus on the lowest tax bracket increases for just a second. we have numbers that increases it from 12% to 10%. how do you justify the increase

on some of the country's lowest earnings? >> it doesn't decrease it at all. effectively the 10% bracket will disappear and i can assure you there will be nobody that was in the 10% that will be paying higher taxes. >> what's the timetable for getting this through congress? >> we're committed to getting this to the president to sign in december. so we're expecting that the house begins the markup in october. th they've got a lot of work to do. the senate will work along with them. with even gotten a lot of people in treasury that are working with us and helping the staff. we're going to move this very, very fast. >> secretary mnuchin, thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you, appreciate it. ahead, a rare look at a controversial case surrounding a woman suspected in the mysterious deaths of her duo late husbands. >> reporter: i'm erin moriarty of "48 hours." prosecutors say two of rayn

"48 hours" is launching its third season. raynella leath is her name. she was charged in mysterious

death of her two late husbands. correspondent erin moriarty was at her last trial. she's got all sides of this case. >> reporter: for 48 years raynella leekt, this 689-year-old grandmother has been under suspicion of murder beginning with her 911 call. inside her home near knoxville, tennessee, investigators found the body of raynella's second husband david lee. almost immediately they questioned whether it was a suicide. after all, there were three shots fired. it was quickly ruled a homicide and raynella became the main suspect and that triggered suspicion about the death of her first husband. eds ed dossett had been found dead in 1992 surrounded by his

cattle. he has been trampled to death. >> she wondered why he was ott there. >> it didn't make sense. >> the toxicologist looket at the report and thought the morphine was suspiciously high. she was charged with murder again and called the black widow. she was charged with the death of david lee first. >> is there a way to describe this case? >> snake-bit because what went wrong will go wrong. >> trial 1, deadlock. trial 2, raynella was convict but the trial was overturned. along the way the dossett charges were dropped. in 2017 raynella was back in court for his murder. >> can you connect raynella to the death, the fin derprints. >> no. >> that's a problem in this

case. >> there's no clear motive. >> everything about this woman was turned around to be evil. >> reporter: raynella's attorney said david leath and took his own life. >> if i were to pull the trigger in this direction, i could strike myself, the left eyebrow, is that right? >> yes, you could. >> just as the case was about to go to the jury. >> ladies and gentlemen of the jury -- >> something unexpectly happened. >> oh, i've got to breathe. that can't be how it happened. >> what happened at the end of this trial is something i've personally never seen before and it's still being debated in knoxville legal circles. you are all going to hate me. i am not going to tell you. i will tell you there's a verdict people are still arguing

about. >> hate is a strong word but -- >> i know there are two grieving families, but we can't make light of it. one woman, two husbands' deaths. it does sound suspicious. >> that's why it's gone on for 14 years. the other side is any case that goes for 14 year, three trials, you've got to worry there really isn't enough evidence and there are sometimes when people are simply unlucky. >> that's real unlucky, erin. >> i know. but we should know that even now, this case may not be over yet because there is, of course, the charges with the first husband. thaw were dropped. but we have learned the prosecutor now wants to go to the judge to ask to body. >> i want to tell you -- >> they're leaving me out. new girl gets left out. thanks, charlie. you can watch erin's new report

welcome back to "cbs this morning." we have breaking news that affects hurricane survivors in puerto rico. the white house secretary tweeted this morning president trump has authorized waving the jones act for puerto rico and it will go into effect immediately. the island's governor made that request. now, this order allows ships flying a foreign flag to bring cargo from ports on the u.s. mainland to puerto rico. officials there had complained that the jones act which says only u.s. flag vessels can operate between two american ports was slowing down aid shipment. >> hopefully it will be a big help. pop star marc anthony and his ex-wife jennifer lopez are raising money for victims of puerto rico and mexico.

their alliance "we are one voice" includes bruno mars, ed sheeran, and lin-manuel miranda. >> i think i voice not only my frustration but the frustration of millions and millions. as soon as jennifer and i knew puerto rico was going to be hit directly we got in contact with each other and said we have to do something. the situation in puerto rico is like nothing we's never seen in our lifetime. that's the god's honest trugts. >> so far together they've raise md than $113,000. this morning it's time to show you some of this morning's headlines. bloomberg said they will set the refugee limit to 45,000. that's the lowest in decades.

starting october 1st, the united states will accept no more than 45,000 refugees. this total is down from 110,000 current this fiscal year. the "washington post" reports inequality persists. the richest americans have gained even more because they have 1u67 an advantage. overall family wealth and incomes increased over the past three years. the median net worth for white household us was $171,000 last year. that was nearly 10 times longer than for black households. the share of americans' income reach 24d% and that is a record high. "the new york times" says champion skier lindsey vonn may get her chance to race against men next year after all. her previous requests were denied by international ski racing officials. yesterday the governing body

will consider allowing her to compete in men's downhill race when it meets next year in zurich. i've lod to see that. nfl kicks off its third season tonight on cbs. the green bay packers will host the chicago bears. this is one of the biggest rooivryes in the nfl. both are coming off overtime wins on sunday. cbs analyst bill cowher. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. it ooh tess long evidence running rivalry. the first game was played in 1920. the series is tied, 94-94. it should be broken tonight on the frozen tundra. it's not frozen but it's cold. >> size up the game. >> obviously it comes down to aaron rodgers. his top three tackles will be out tonight, but it is aaron rodgers and his ability to improvise and extend plays william e look at the chicago

bears. an impressive win. a dynamic one-two punch in the running game. these two guys can run the football. it's going to be a very, very interesting game. again, i think it's going to be very exciting. i think the chicago bears if they keep it close may have a chance. >> are you making any predictions. >> well, listen, gayle. i can't make a prediction yet. watch the pregame show tonight. >> that's a tease. the kansas city chiefs are looking very, very strong and the atlanta falcons and certainly the new england patriots after having lost one. >> i think what we saw last week, guy, was a very explosive offensive weekend for football. when you look at the national football league, only two teams, kansas city chiefs and atlanta falcons are undefeated. there's a lot of parody, a lot of story lines about to unfold and it's very balanced throughout the league.

>> any emerging star who looks like they're going to have one helluva season? >> i would say kareem hunt when you look at the kansas city cheefrs, charlie. this guy is very special. he's able to k567 the ball out of the backfield. with him and tyreek hill, they're the fastest team in the nfl league. >> he's a rookie, didn't you say? >> he is a rookie. and cohen. very fast. he can catch the ball out of the backfield, he's a turner, you couple him with jordan howard. the great 1-2 running attack which you're going to see, a contrast to the other side where you may see aaron rodgers with nobody to throw it to running it all out. >> back to the packers and bears game tonight, can we expect to continue seeing players and coaches and owners taking a knee during the "national anthem"? >> well, aaron rodgers has asked the fans to interlock amongst

themselves in the stands right here. i think as we talk about a lot of things that took place last week, there's been a lot of divisiveness in terms of antagonistic words coming from the president. think i the people want to see football. they want to have balance back in their lives. the three or four hours that they have, a chance to bring normality to them and get away from the social injustice, health care, national security. football is america's pastime. we want to get back to watching this great games. aaron rodgers is asking fans to interlock. he's looking for big bodies too. his three offensive tackles are out. it's going to be a good game. >> let's talk about your old team the steelers. there was some concentration on him because of one player who actually in a sense explained himself. >> yeah. alejandro ville kna knew way va

some tours in afghanistan. they had to make difficult decisions. the bottom line they all attempted to show solidarity with each other. i think for villanueva, he wants to play football. i think it's kind of unified everybody. >> we were talking at the table about what a good guy you are, bill cowher. also good to have you here. >> thank you, gayle. >> you can watch the chicago bears take on the packers tonight. right here on cbs and simulcast on the nfl network.

>> you have a football voice. the longest suspension bridge dangles 28 stories above a rocky ravine. not for the faint of heart,'ll say. you've got to put your bill girl panties on for this. >> reporter: depending how you look at it, the suspension bridge either tempts or terrifies. it was designed as a white knuckle short cut which shaves a few hours off the hike in this popular part of the swiss alps. it spans the length of about five football fields and soars over a valley. >> i love it. i love it. when someone is walking really heavy-footed, then the bridge kind of swings and then like, whoa, where am i. >> nerves dictate whether it takes 15 minutes or longer to cross. she came with a hiking group

from denver. >> i think you should try. >> i will try. i have a little fear of height snas the only way you get that thrill, you have to walk it. >> reporter: paul is on the town council which helped raise money to build this. only adding to the suspension is the fact the previous bridge had to be closed after rocks fell on it. >> i'm pretty sure it will be okay. >> pretty sure. >> reporter: lurkly the engineer is very sure of his work. >> i'm the one to calculate everything and the one to take care of all. it's my bridge, and i am called mr. bridge. >> reporter: it's his 35th bridge and he said it's even better than he thought. and the swaying is by design. >> i hope that people get a bit nervous and a bit upset. >> why? >> there are lots of other

bridges, and this one is a bridge that moves you heart. >> reporter: as you walk out in the middle here, it starts to sway even more. the bridge opened this summer and draws hundreds of tourists today. some more willing than others. >> while we were walking up, i was talking about how this was going to be tough for me because i have a fear of heights. >> you've come to the wrong place. >> reporter: they're from north carolina. >> why are you making him do this? >> i'm not making him do this. i can meet him at the bottom. but i am doing this. >> reporter: they've been married 15 years and like any successful marriage, it's part compromise and plenty of excitement. >> it was fine until she started jumping. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning" seth doane in

switzerland. >> why would you want to do it when the guy who built it says he wants you to be nervous and upset. >> it moves your heart that would you do it, charlie? >> of course. >> the only way i would be going is if you carried me on your back. >> i would go. >> i understand the need for big girl panties. i understand what you're talking about. thank you. playing a navy s.e.a.l. on tv may not require big gift panties but actors are put in risky situations. we go behind the scenes to

after 8 years of chris christie, is kim guadagno the change new jersey really needs? guadagno is christie's hand-picked successor. says she's "proud to be part of the christie administration." guadagno was chris christie's right hand as our schools came under attack, critical services were underfunded,

and our credit rating was downgraded...11 times. from the bridge to the beach, we've seen it all, and we've had enough. kim guadagno isn't the change we need.

this is bravo one. we still have a chance to grab some here. are we good? you can run, but you can't hide. >> that's a scene from the new cbs drama "s.e.a.l. team" which premiered last night. it follows the personal and professional lives of a group of navy s.e.a.l.s as they train for, plan, and carry out risky operations around the globe.

carter ervans went behind the scenes to show how some former s.e.a.l.s helped the cast and crew. >> reporter: the military's elite are put to the test, tackling dangerous undercover missions abrown. abroad and life at home. >> i realize it's a long shot, but it would be great if you could come by one evening. >> it's the first week of new rotation. >> reporter: he spent nearly a decade playing a vampire in the popular series "buffy the vampire slayer." >> don't worry, i don't bite. >> reporter: he starred as an fbi agent in the long-running tv series "bones." >> this is so different from what you've done. >> it's tough what these

s.e.a.l.s do. i didn't fully understand what they didn't when i signed on, i became more aware. >> you're gong to look back. >> reporter: to tell the story of one of the mill tai's most covert unit, the show partnered up with real-life former members of the special forces. >> the majority of our time has been spent in the writers' room crafting stories. >> reporter: they offered their guidan guidance on and off screen. >> what we're trying to do as a group is make something that's not real obviously but make something that's authentic and that feels authentic. >> we basically are coming in. >> reporter: we visited the cast as they prepare to shoot a scene in which the s.e.a.l.s try to rescue a group of hostages on a boat captured by terrorists. >> ready and dive and surface, surface.

>> it's what happens when people don't rsvp. >> reporter: the show also explored life outside the operations, something that gray, a 9-year veteran knows all too well. >> even when i'm in a scene, it's like the skill set i worked on for so long, where do i go with that? now i get to use it. a big problem a lot of people have is finding an outlet for it. this is my outlet. we're all trying to find balance and heroes. if we show they can be heroes but they're humans, just leak the rest of us, that's what we want to do. >> this is bravo 4. 11 hostages secured. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," carter evans, los angeles. >> it's really idea that s.e.a.l.s have taken it. >> people are amazed. >> the mental and rugged

toughness and the missions. >> i had s.e.a.l. aspirations when i was a little girl, believe it or not. i wouldn't have lasted. >> i think you would have. better you're here. >> yeah, better to watch it on television. you can watch it on wednesday nights at 9:00 right near on "cbs this morning." you can also catch up with the series on all access and on video on demand. >> you can hear more on our apple's podcast. tow helen talks about her new book "reset." she discusses minorities in the industry. you're watching
