"face the nation" moderator john dickerson is with us this morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> carly fiorina's moment? >> she had two moments. the big moment was played there where she responded to donald trump's comments about her face as was said per persona which nobody really bought. she had another moment that other candidates were looking for too. she made the case for our candidacy when talking. there was an answer she talked about iran and planned parenthood in one. it was a tight compact answer that was -- that showed that she

was well-versed and she had command of the issues and those kind of answers helped her as well. >> she will advance in the polls this week, probably? >> i think so so. she is the person everybody is talking about this morning. >> did it matter that trump spent the debate on his heels, as you wrote? >> it's really interesting. donald trump said a number of things of what people thought would hurt him and a period in the debate he disappeared. who would have thought that would happen? right? donald trump is not just the center of the scrum. the question is and it was raised repeatedly in this debate does he have the temperament and the knowledge for the job? if there was a period when he was quiet it was perfect because it was a high public policy debate. if he can't participate in that is that what becomes a weakness for donald trump? we don't know but that was exposed in that debate, i think. >> how do you think this debate will shake things up? >> well, i think it may shake -- certainly carly fiorina is going to have her moment here and can she take advantage that have? the other candidates, you know, jeb bush and scott walker had

their opportunity the way carly fiorina did. >> ben carson was number two going in. >> his last debate performance where was ben carson and he still did well. the question of this campaign in part who are your supporters and do you get them from television or social media? >> reporter: chris christie? >> he talked about the people and we will see it fthat pays off. it's a crowded field with 11 candidates and all had their little moment and who can capitalize. >> thanks, john. hillary clinton will be john's guest this weekend on "face the nation." this is her first appearance on a sunday talk show in several years. that is sunday here on cbs. >> yeah. looking forward to that conversation. thank you, john. carly fiorina will join us in our next half hour. governor chris christie produced another of the debate's most talked about moments. criticized each other's business

>> carly, carly, listen. you interrupt everybody else on the stage and don't interrupt me, right? the fact is we don't want to hear about your careers and volley who did well and who did people. you're both successful people. congratulations. you know who is is not successful? the middle class in this country plowed over by barack obama and hillary clinton. let's stop this childish back and forth between the two of you. >> thank you. >> the new jersey governor is with us now from the reagan presidential library. good morning, chris christie. thank you for joining us. >> good morning. happy to be here this morning. >> reporter: so what was your strategy last night? did you accomplish it? >> well, it's just to be myself. as i said beforehand, i think in a field this crowded, what you really need to do is let people get to know you, be yourself. that is what i tried to do last night raenel the focus on the problems of the people that were actually watching the debate rather than focusing on the arguments between all of the people at the debate. >> but it's interesting. you've talked so much in the past about your business record, yet you criticize the other two candidates for talking about theirs. how come?

>> they weren't doing proof points last night with each other be, they were getting into a typical personal food fight. in the first debate it was between jeb and donald trump and yesterday, it was between donald trump and carly fiorina and they were, you know, going tit for tat with one another and adds no knowledge what the country wants you to be. who are you caring about? it's about time that i express to folks that everything i've learned on the campaign trail, which is that the problems of regular middle class folks in this country that really should be the concern of this campaign and not, you know, who made more money at what job. >> governor, do you think that after this debate, the second debate, that featured a lot of attacks on donald trump, that will you be declining in terms of polls and in terms of attention? >> charlie, i have no way of knowing that and i'm definitely not a pollster. all i can tell you i think last night was illustrative in terms of who has the right priorities

for this country and who is prepared to be president of the united states. and i feel really good about the way the night went for us. >> governor, your at one end of the stage and seems like a lot of attention was focused on trump. there were a whole 32 minutes your were not called on. were you happy with how this debate was conducted? >> i thought it went fine. listen. that 32 minutes was the most boring 32 minutes of the debate. so i think that is probably pretty clear from the ratings. there is 11 people up there. what you try to do is use the time you get as wisely as you can. listen. when you're talking about other people's issues, the people of the united states problems, that is what they want to hear about. they want to hear about what you're going to do to try to make the government work for them. they are frustrated and angry about the fact the government doesn't work. and i wanted to try last night to address them directly and i'm glad that we had the opportunity to do it as often as we did.

this race now for the republican nomination? >> still very early, charlie. i think what you can see is that the folks who are really serious, the folks prepared to talk about foreign policy, to talk about domestic policy and talk about the intelligence community and defense are showing themselves to come to the fore. what matters the most is those people who are willing to say to the american people, i understand what you're going through, i'm learning from this campaign, which i definitely am, about the things that concern them the most. and i have plans to address what your concerned about, but most importantly, i'm the type of leader who you can trust and who will remember these lessons when he get to the oval office on january 20th. >> you said it's not about us but the voters. do you think you know the voters better than your other opponents? >> i'm getting to know the voters very well, gayle. given where i come from, like i said last night, people are talking about who is an outsider. if you're a republican in new jersey, you're an outsider every

and so i vetoed 400 bills from a particularic legislature and vetoed more tax increases in any governor in history according to american tax reforms so in the end i think i'm getting to know their concerns very well and i think in the end they will pick a guy from new jersey who is like them and who is one of them and who understands them and will bring that understanding to the oval office. >> governor christie, great to see you this morning. thank you for joining us. >> thank you very much this morning, guys. great to be back. this morning, tsunami threatened areas from chile to southern california after a deadly and powerful earthquake. the 8.3 magnitude quake rocked chile last night and killed five people and tsunami warnings hawaii, and 300 miles of the california coast. kris van cleave is actually in manhattan beach this morning. >> reporter: good morning. here in manhattan beach, the

night, do you expect a surge in the polls? >> i certainly hope we will see movement in the polls. you know, going into that debate, half the audience had mever never heard my name and didn't know i was running for president so it was a big opportunity for me to introduce myself to many of the american people and i'm very happy i had that opportunity. >> beyond the polls, what will this add to your campaign? a fund-raisesrsfund-raisers, reaching out to you? >> what we saw in the last debate, august 6th, where less than 40% of the people had heard my name, and what we saw a big bump in fund-raising. we saw a bump in the polls, and i suspect and hope that we will see the same thing out of this debate. >> what happens to trump candidacy based on what happened last night? >> oh, i don't know. that is up to voters to decide. >> carly fiorina, many people are saying you dropped the microphone, if you will, that means she had a really great night and everybody is talking about your performance, in

to donald trump's very unkind remarks to you. you could having many ways and you chose not to go after him. why? >> you know, i think i made my point crystal clear and i think women in america understand that it is still different for women, that we're scrutinized differently. the truth is that a woman's appearance should never be the subject of conversation, particularly in a presidential campaign. >> you were the only one on the stage that said you wouldn't put a woman on the 10 or 20 dollar bill and i think that surprised a lot of people. then when they heard your answer, carly, a lot of people said i like what she is thinking. why did you take that position? >> well, because i think politics is full of empty gestures and people are tired of empty gestures. honestly, it's an empty gesture to put a woman's face on a 10 or a 20 dollar bill, when 3.5

years. it's an empty gesture when the burdens of poverty or single women. it's an empty gesture when we are not yet tapping the full potential of every man and woman in this country and wernts and that is why i'm running for president. >> what would you do as president about the refuge crisis? >> you know, it's a very heart breaking situation, obviously. and certainly if we have people who truly are fleeing persecution, we ought to allow them to go through the processes in this country to receive asylum and we are doing that. on the other hand, we cannot welcome everyone from -- who are seeking economic opportunity if we cannot guarantee that they are not terrorists. however, with regard to the humanitarian crisis which has

been made much worse by the fact that president obama and secretary of state clinton have no strategy in syria, they have done nothing for three years, and so when you fail to lead, your option disappear. but we ought to be playing a major role in a humanitarian relief effort and i do think that the united states needs to lead, and i would lead as president of the united states, a global effort to go after human traffickers once and for all. human trafficking is on the rise all over the world. many of these people are sold a bill of good tragically by human traffickers who then take their money and, unfortunately, in their lives. we need to crack down on human trafficking wherever it is and, clearly there is a lot, moving people from the middle east into europe. >> carly fiorina, we thank you for taking the time to join us this morning. >> thanks for having music icon elton john is

>> officials are suspending ahmed mohamed was in the best interest of school safety. >> president obama tweeted for the boy to come to the white house. unfortunately, he never saw the tweet because his teacher thought his iphone was a gun. >> that 32 minutes was the most boring 32 minutes of the debate when i didn't talk. >> you play one of the spookiest, creepiest guys in all political entertainment. who do you think you're talking to when you talk right to the camera? >> i'm talking to one person and one person only, and that is donald trump. >> ready, 7? cue charlie. i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. the threat of tsunami is reaching to southern california this morning, after devastating earthquakes struck chile.

the waves generated by the earthquake are arriving now along the california coast. it could take several hours for the waves to peak. california is more than 5,000 miles from the earthquake's center. a tsunami advisory is in place along a 300 mile stretch off the coast. the impacted areas are from state beach near los angeles to ragged point more than 50 miles southwest of st. luis obispo. the deadly 8.3 quake struck chile wednesday night and eight people died. people poured on to the streets for safety and along the shores, people headed to higher ground. donald trump got most of the attention at the second republican presidential debate and his rivals attacking him throughout the three-hour event but plenty of substance to be found in between those political jabs. >> to attack people on their appearance, short, tall, fat, ugly. my goodness! that happened in junior high. are we not way above that. >> i never attacked him on his

>> donald trump said the following about you. quote, look at that face. would anyone vote for that? can you imagine that? the face of our next president? >> i think women all over this country heard very clearly what mr. trump said. >> you were giving me name after name, arab name, arab name, and there are few people anywhere, anywhere that would have known those names. i think he was reading them off a sheet. >> these are important issues because look around the world today. is there a lunatic in north korea with dozens of nuclear weapons that and he is threatening to destroy and divide nato. >> the reason it is so important is everyone know that name is because russia is in syria right now because the head of the kuds force traveled to russia and talked vladimir putin into aligning themselves with iran and syria. >> when carly says the revenues

went up, that is because she bought compact. it was a terrible deal and it really led to the destruction of the company. so i only say this. she can't run any of my companies. >> you ran up mountains of debt, as well as losses, using other people's money and you were forced to file for bankruptcy, not once. >> i didn't file for bankruptcy. >> not twice, four times! >> 40 years ago, i smoked marijuana and i admit it. i'm sure other people did it and may not want to say it in front of 25 million people and my mom is not happy that i just did. >> i wouldn't change the 10 dollar bill or the 20 dollar bill. i think it's honestly a gesture. i don't think it helps to change our history. what i would think is that we ought to recognize that women are not a special interest group when women are the majority of this nation. we are half the potential of this nation. and this nation will be better off when every woman has the opportunity to live the life she chooses. >> republican strategist and cbs news contributor frank luntz watched the debate with a group of 29 republican voters and he is in los angeles.

frank, good morning. >> good morning. >> tell us what we are going to see here and how it was done. >> so we have got a couple of clips and it's called instant response. the higher you see the lines climb, the more favorable the reaction. one clip is pretty negative and the lines go down and using the device the size of a remote control and turn it on every word and every phrase. the viewers at home fountain lines go up, it means it's great. if they go down, it means it's horrible. >> talk about carly fiorina. >> she was, by far the strongest and saw her as a leader and being presidential. whereabouts, donald trump was seen as being petty, carly fiorina was seen as a genuine leader. clip. >> the truth is 75% of the american people think the government is corrupt. 82% of the american people think these problems that have festered for 50 years in some cases, 25 years in other cases, the border has been insecure for 25 years. 307,000 veterans have died waiting for health care.

these things have gone on for so long because no one will challenge the status quo. you know what a leader does? they challenge the status quo and solve problems that have festered for a long time and they produce results. >> and that is exactly what the american people are looking for. someone who is going to produce results for them and not engage in that kind of petty politics that she showed in a couple of clips two or three minutes ago. >> let's talk about donald trump because he certainly was a target last night. let's take a look at the graphic that shows how the people responded to him and the way he responded back, frank. what does this say to you? >> it communicates to me that when donald trump is fighting on behalf of the american people, it's incredibly positive and in effect. but when he is challenging and basically sniping at his competitors, that is -- that is the ingredient of his downfall. let's take a look. >> we are just taking a look at it, frank. you talked to the voters after

the debate certainly. did you sense any trump fatigue? >> i sensed a little bit of trump anger. they were very eager to hear what he had to say. they wanted to know some of the details and policies and, in particular, foreign policy. they were very disappointed that too often he seemed to take personal shots the people to his left and right, rather than focusing on the question and answering the specifics what isis. he scored well on immigration and korea but some of the issues they felt he was too personal and too frankliny in your face to the other president schaap candidates. >> let's talk about chris christie at the top of the debate when he tried to turn the attention to the people rather than himself. let's watch. >> hi. my name is chris christie and i'd like you to take the camera off me and put it on the audience. how many of you raise your hand and believe in today's barack

obama your children believe you'll have a better life than you have? you see? that is why i'm running for president. leadership is not about me, it's about our country and what we talk about tonight it's not about us. it's the people in the audience tonight. because in seven short years, this president has stripped away their trust and their faith and their belief that the next generation will have a better life. he has stolen that from us and when i'm president, i'm going to take it back. >> frank, do you think he scored well because he said it's not about me or he landed an attack on obama? >> no, no. it's because -- he said it several times in the debate and the reaction was exactly the same. he is the only candidate of the people standing up there that kept saying, look. it's not about my background. it's not about what i've done. it's about what you need. he referenced middle class voters and people are waiting eagerly and anxiously for a candidate who doesn't try to tell themselves on the voter but instead says to the voter i get you, i understand you and empathize with you and now i'm going to fight for you.

testing, you show that trump did very, very poorly and, in fact, you said on air that you saw the destruction of a presidential campaign over those two hours. trump has soared to the top of the race. >> you're right. that is one of the reasons i'm very careful about what i say about the conclusions. when you all opened up, you said is this the end of donald trump? i don't believe there is going to be an end. i think donald trump is in this to stay and i think it is impossible to pick a front-runner right now. polls aside, that there are several candidates with messages that are really working with voters. really resonating. so let's not focus on the polls. instead, the american people want you to focus on what these candidates are going to do for them and what are the tough decisions that they are going to make that will make a difference for themselves and for the country. >> all right. frank luntz. >> thank you. >> we will have to leave it there. thanks a lot. marathoners are taking on

how they are getting you know him as dr. raj on cbs comedy "big bang thorough. >> he will be joining us coming up. you're watching "cbs this morning."

now called emblemhealth, made sure working new yorkers had quality, affordable healthcare. who's caring for you? emblemhealth: what care feels like... in the neighborhood. this morning, we continue our pushing the limits" series with the hardest race in america it's called. if you think running a marathon is itself a feat. lath doing an ultra marathon up a mountain at the rut mountain race in big sky, montana, nearly 400 athletes around the world gathered to compete 31 miles and cover 10,000 feet of elevation

>> no thanks. i run in the mountains because it gives me the freedom that i can't feel anywhere else. i'm lou nelson and i'm 34 years old and i'm a professional mountain runner. >> sky running is basically really high alpine mountain runners. >> there is generally a lot more elevation gain and lost and the races are a lot more technical. >> you go up and down a mountain. this is what i do. i've been running outside in nature for, like, my whole life so for me it's not hard. i'm yes. elie forsberg from sweden. >> it's pretty gnarly and brutal but it's a lot of fun. it's pretty phenomenal sport and pretty exciting. >> i'm matt king from ben,

i am the world 100 sky run champion. >> sky running started in the european alps in the early '90s and it was to see what people could do with the altitude and see how they can push themselves and we try to get as close as we can. i'm the captain of the sky runner series. at the big rut in big sky we go to the top of the peak at 11,000 feet. >> it's tough and the minutes leading up to it. you've done months of preparation and there is all, the competition is there. >> ten seconds. >> really, i just want that moment to end and to start running. >> we have some of the best runners in the world today competing and it's been inspiring to watch them compete. >> let's go! >> my name is mike foote and i'm the director of the mountain run and i'm an ultra marathon

>> good job, sweetie! >> we are here at the mile 19 station. this is one of the biggest stations on the course as far as refueling. >> i ate too much. >> they got the biggest climb of the day right in front of them. everybody is going to the highest point at 11,200 feet. >> the hike the 50k and 31 miles here would probably take average person more than a day. these people are doing it in about five and a half hours. you'll gain 10,000 feet of elevation. i'm definitely pushing to my limits every one of these races that i do. >> for me, the hardest part is this. it's so fascinating to see the limits where you can go. like, it's so interesting to push yourself. >> the hardest factor of a race

like this are probably downhill. think about running down standing on football-sized rocks and hundreds of thousands of them and you're trying to find foot placement and move quickly. >> i'm pretty comfortable downhiller. i can go pretty fast and smooth. for me, it's like for people running a road, i guess. >> mountain running is probably one of the hardest things you can do to your body. >> we are, gosh, a little over seven hours into the race so people are getting tired obviously. they have been in the heat, they have been in the cold, they have been in the wind. >> i'm from costa rica and i've been frozen all day. >> i think the human body was meant to run, but this is pushing it. >> you hit that limit and you just have to learn how to push through that. >> i think in our modern societies, we don't push ourselves. we go to our cubicles and we do our thing and then we go home and we complain about doing our thing. running gives us a chance to

give back. >> whoa! >> so lucky to run in the mountains. >> 2015 champion! >> and to be able to do it in a short time because it's something bigger than to race against people. >> i am a freshman runner but i also have a regular job and i have a family. >> hey, luke! >> i spend a lot of time running and a lot of time trying to figure out how to spend time with my family. i see my kids at the finish line. hey! they are a huge support for me. i have people ask me, will i run a 5k and you do this so this must not be it. it's impressive. it's a personal challenge and that might be half marathon for

around the block, but taking and pushing your own boundaries is what it's all about. >> not easy but going up rocks and thin air. >> i like what he said about which is why we have done this series is about pushing boundaries. whether personal fitness or science or technology and what we are trying to enlarge in people's minds on this show. >> i'll cheer you both on. we will be right back. and i'm very much alive. now my doctor recommends a bayer aspirin regimen to help prevent another heart attack. be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. johnson's believes that bath time is more than cleansing. your loving touch stimulates his senses and nurtures his mind. the johnson's scent, lather, and bubbles help enhance the experience. so why just clean your baby, when you can give him so much more? flonase allergy relief nasal spray. this changes everything. flonase is the 24 hour relief that outperforms the #1 non-drowsy allergy pill. when we breathe in allergens, our bodies react by

"thursday night football" returns tonight to cbs and kansas city chiefs host denver and peyton manning. both coming off first week wins. tony gonzalez is joining us in kansas city. a former chiefs tight ends and a pro bowler. let's get at it. what do you see tonight? peyton manning back for at least another season? >> yeah. he is back. and got off to a little rough start last week again the baltimore ravens. and i think that is probably the biggest story going into this game tonight is how is peyton manning going to keep evolving in this new offense that gary kubiak and john elway want him to run where he is taking a lot of snaps under the center now which is something he doesn't do. he has been having a lot of trouble throwing it down the field. and they really want him to get that running game going. they weren't able to do that last week.

he has a tough challenge too going against this kansas city chiefs defense! they are really, really good! and they get after the quarterback. >> peyton threw zero touchdowns. how is the chiefs defense going to play against him tonight? shut him down again? >> well, if i were the chiefs defense i would do exactly what baltimore did last week. and is kind of take away the quick throws and stuff he wants to get out of his hands quickly and try to shut down that running game and force him to throw the ball down the field. he has been having a lot of trouble doing that lately. and they got a guy on that defense for the kansas city chiefs named justin houston who almost broke michael strahan's sack record and he is good at geg after the quarterback and he will be in peyton manning's face ought all night tonight and fun to wash. >> you know the chiefs because you played there many years. you know the strategy and the city. talk about travis kelce who is also a tight end. it says here he is the only one in chiefs' history with 100 receiving yards and two

touchdown catches in a game. just like tony gonzalez. so is he the new tony gonzalez in your opinion? are you feeling this guy? >> yeah. i'm feeling this guy. actually, i know travis. i've talked to him. we text back and forth. this guy can be one of the best tight ends in the league. he's a big guy. he is 6'6". runs great routes. he is a student of the game. he wants to be one of the best tight ends in the league which i always think is very, very important. you have to come out and say, i want to be one of the best and he does. right now, the future is bright for the kansas city chiefs at that position. i hope, i hope he breaks all of my records. i would welcome that. >> do you want him to break your record? really? >> absolutely. you know what? a lot of people they come out and i think they don't want that but i do. i want this game to keep getting bigger and better. he's a good kid too. i couldn't think of a better person to come out and hopefully, get it done. >> tony, are we seeing the more use of tight ends as an offensive weapon?

>> yes, you are. if you a lot of the last week the tight ends around the nfl just flat out ball'd. tyler eifert up in cincinnati had two touchdowns and over a hundred yards. the game with the cowboys, jason witten had two touchdowns and had the game winning touchdown. old guys, young guys. >> gronk? >> all of these tight ends are stepping up their game. gronkowski had three toumpedschdowns. the guys are so big and so fast opposing defenses. tight ends to me are the future is now and a lot of teams are getting these big guys involved in their offenses. >> tony. >> i like big. >> gayle like big. i like a tight end myself. >> i'm just saying. >> you know, tony, that gronk has a special. we love you, tony. and gronk has a special place in our heart too, right, gayle? >> yes. when he was here, we had great fun with him. >> we will be watching tonight. thank you so much! >> have fun today. see you. >> see you, tony. we continue our high school honor roll series and

we visited a california high bowl players! two of them, super bowl mvp marcus allen and terrell davis and recently surprised their alma mater with commemorative golden footballs. allen led the raiders to victory in 1984 and davis scored three touchdowns for the broncos in denver's 1988 super bowl win. james brown hosts "the nfl today" on cbs and takes us on their journey to lincoln high school in san diego. >> reporter: in tlerl 50 years of the super bowl history, 43 players have been named the game's mvp. >> step back over the middle. 3-2-1! touchdown, raiders! >> reporter: a small high school in san diego, california, produced two of them, terrell davis and marcus allen. and it was that off-steer community that helped shape their journey to the nfl mountain top. >> the coach came to me and wanted me to play cornerback and i didn't want to play quarterback. i wanted to play defense back. and i remember getting under
