7:49 am
you're sitting in charlie's seat. please show some respect. history. >> charlie, for the right price, i haven't. >> okay. >> i'm charlie rose with gayle the new hampshire primary is five days away. the republican field is smaller, but the two leaders are turning up the heat on each other. donald trump has said he was happy finishing second in iowa, but just a few hours later, he launched a twitter rant against ted cruz. >> he now claims that cruz stole the caucus vote and committed fraud. trump says that cruz manipulated voters telling them ben carson had dropped out of the race. cruz said that trump is, quote, losing it and said voters are not interested in what he called a trumper tantrum. bernie sanders leading new hampshire polls, hillary clinton is downplaying her chances. clinton who narrowly won in iowa
7:50 am
because he is from neighboring vermont. sanders said she won the primary eight years ago. after taking wall street money last night, hillary clinton was asked about high price speeches to the investment firm goldman sachs. >> i made speeches to lots of groups. anybody who knows me, who thinks that they can influence me, name anything they have influenced me on. >> do you have to be paid $675,000? >> well, with i don't know. that's what they offered. every secretary of state that i know has done that. >> once they are not in office and running for office? you must have known -- >> to be honest, i wasn't committed to running. i didn't know whether i would or not. >> you didn't think you would run for president again? >> i did not. several times at secretary of state, i said i think i'm done. the circumstances, the concerns i had about the republicans taking back the white house because i think they wrecked what we achieved in the '90s. i did not want to see that happen again.
7:51 am
sanders will debate tonight. stephen colbert knows all about politics. he is the host, writer, and executive producer of "the late show." last night, colbert said good-bye to another white house hopeful who dropped out of the race. >> also talks on the funeral of politics this week was democratic candidate martin o'malley o'malley, or is you may know him -- do i know him? it seems the highest of voters of iowa could not relate to a man in his 50s with abs like that. he'll now return to his natural habitat playing sleeveless guitar in a viagra commercial! >> colbert hosted his emmy winning show for nearly a decade. before that, he was a correspondent on "the daily show." now he is days away from hosting a special live edition of "the
7:52 am
stephen, good morning. >> thank you, charlie. an honor to be here. >> politics keeps on giving and giving and giving for late night comedians. >> well, especially presidential politics, because the nice thing is that people, you can feel the wave of public interests and what is going on in the election right now. sort of like the story is catching fire. the nice thing about presidential years is everybody in the country cares about the story, everybody pays attention. you don't have to explain your joke to anybody. you can just go to the punch line and it's a great story, because it affects everybody and there is no tragedy. >> no surprise and you got people like donald trump and bernie sanders. >> no, you don't have people like donald trump. there are no people like donald trump. there is only donald trump. the only lie donald trump ever told was he is happy being second in iowa. now i don't believe him. everything in retrospect seems true compared to enormity of
7:53 am
he would be more statesman-like. 90 minutes later, he was on what ted cruz is calling his twitter tantrum. >> statesman-like for trump he will only bomb the -- out of him. >> does he remind you anything of the man from the colbert report? >> yeah. donald trump feels like my old character who the old idea behind the colbert report was truthiness. if you just say it with enough conviction and emotion, it's truer than if it's factually correct and that is great politics because an audience wants to be emotionally moved and trump is great at moving an audience. plus he has $10 billion to back it up. the whole thing with citizens united is that money equals speech. he has a $10 billion dollar mouth. >> or so he says. >> well, i believe him. i believe him. >> but i think charlie is right, it's a gift that keeps on giving for you. i'm curious what you're going to do live after the super bowl.
7:54 am
this is live right now, right? we are live right now? >> this is live! >> preview of football. >> there is no eight-second delay. >> no eight-second delay this morning? does that ever get new trouble? >> maybe gayle a couple times. >> we love trouble. we love trouble. >> stephen, you're right. >> we have got will ferrell and we will have surprise guests and have many more and jokes that are written during the super bowl. >> you got megyn kelly too! >> i'm very excited. >> the only person on the planet who scares donald trump. which is fantastic. trump repellant. >> you guys -- that is good. you guys will be writing jokes during the show? during the super bowl? >> during the super bowl. we will be writing jokes about the game. >> how is that going to work? >> very fast, i hope. very fast. >> how do youprar >> 20 minutes later, we do the show so we have 20 minutes to write an hour show. can it be done? they said it couldn't be done. >> i believe in you and your
7:55 am
>> thank you, gayle. >> didn't you already try doing it? >> we tried doing it during one game. >> how did it work? >> i would say great. i'm going to say it worked great. >> i believe. >> how much of it will be related to the game? >> a lot of it. depending on what people want to talk about. >> yes. >> you said what you learned from show business is to love the bomb. >> yeah. i had a teacher in chicago who said you got to learn to love the bomb, meaning not sort of -- if the show doesn't go well, really, improvisation. if it doesn't go well, you got to not just get the fact it didn't go well, you got to enjoy it and once you can enjoy that it sucked, then nothing can till you. i hope not to learn that again on sunday. >> i know! >> our problem is we have had too much show already. like our jokes about the super bowl were six minutes long at this point. we essentially do a morning show because after midnight, it's
7:56 am
can we have some of your monday morning show in case we go a little long? >> absolutely! >> are you a big super bowl guy? >> are you kidding? look at me! stop! don't you think i played ball? >> are you a closet athlete and nobody knows about it? is super bowl a good day for you? >> i enjoy food and fried things and i enjoy dips! >> me too. >> didou play football in south carolina? >> i played one day of football in south carolina. my friends were on the football team and my senior year of high school, they said, hey, man, you're funny. why don't you come out for the team and you'll be fun for the road trips. i didn't realize how hard they hit. one of my friends had the weight-lifting record in school and he had it in eighth grade. our senior year, the coach said to him, first day, first scrimmage looks at me and points to my friend and me. you see that cornerback over there? i want you to kill him. there are no friends on the football field!
7:57 am
my friend, graham, goes, i'm sorry, my friend, i have to kill you. he picked me up and crunched me on the ground and at the end of the day, i said, coach, i don't think it's my game. >> i'm going for comedy. >> exactly. i focused on theater from there on. >> we have pictures from you in your theater days. >> do i have a beard? hey! who is that guy? there i am. >> describe that stephen colbert. >> he was very serious and not started doing comedy yet. he had a beard. that is dave schwimmer up at the top there. had he a beard and wore a lot of black. i described him as a poet/jerk. he was willing to, like, share -- >> when did you lose the beard? >> right after that. right when i graduated. right when i needed to get a job, i lost the beard. this is the '80s and beards are not popular then. you can tell i only grew half of them. >> what was your life goal back there?
7:58 am
it's great a picture of you two. what was your goal? >> i thought i would form a theater company and do shakespeare on the street and now i love it. i'm a suburban dad. >> you love your wife? >> i love my wife and i have three kids. which pair of khakis will i wear today? no, i thought i would be like an artist essentially like half-street artist and half-theater person. >> did you like so many comedians look at johnny carson and say that is where i want to be someday? >> it's a surprise i'm doing one of his jig. jimmy, eddie, mary allow and paul, mary and steven and my elder sisters mary and margo made me wake up to watch johnny carson because they didn't want to watch it alone. i was only 3 and they loved me up to watch johnny carson.
7:59 am
how can you aspire to do that? there is no way. johnny was great because dave was different than johnny because dave was dumb. dave was like the human side. we all wanted to throw things off the building. >> i have to get back to the super bowl. do you have a favorite? you're from south carolina, neighboring neighboring north carolina panthers. >> i like cam newton, you know? >> what do you think of cam newton's pants? >> not as good as charlie's pants. >> all right! charlie fills them out nicely! >> he does. have you heard about the new wedge jeans? irks >> oh, no no. >> levis is putting out a new wedge jean. if you don't have a butt, it gives you one. >> you made baller alert, charlie. >> who made that? >> it's a very popular black website for all of the cool black people and charlie rose made baller alert. it says when you're fine, you
8:00 am
charlie rose looked the best. sorry, cam, but you tried. >> wow! >> that is big! you got street credit. how do you feel about leslie moonves? what will you be doing about les now the chairman? >> i heard the exciting news this morning. i don't know where -- how did you get the exclusive that your boss, my boss. >> our boss! >> has got a raise and a new job? i think the real headline is how young and handsome he is. looking good, boss! >> here is to les. >> sunday! you're not going to see this on any other morning show. no one else has this story! >> you spend your power and wear it well. >> what a lucky girl that julie chen is! >> and their son steven. >> have a great night. on sunday, cbs will bring you

redden will testify for the prosecution in the murder trial of travion smith. he's accused of killing melissa huggins-jones during 2013 break in. we are going to get on over to brian shrader keeping an eye on the traffic situation out there. hey, brian. >> hey there. of course on thursday morning it's going to be busy. we had a little bit of rain to that mix and we have been delays. had an earlier accident on 440 eastbound around wade avenue in west raleigh, that has traffic backed up on us-1 n. and heading to cary. are to see the rain and fog or cloud cover, but there are cars very slowly crawling one from cary parkway to walnut street. and 60 minutes for that trip from 55 to i-40. just say no, a typical delay free trip would be about seven minutes. significant backups this morning. concert using tryon to gorman as a possible alternate route to get around some of those delays.
8:12 am
on, 42 to 440 taking 70 minutes. still looking at a 15 minute ride insufferably through the fortify work zone, 442 us-1. consider business 70 as the alternate getting from garnering to wallet. we have the median plucked and 40 eastbound around 751 on the south side of durham contributing to our typical backups that we see this time of day leaving chapel hill heading into south durham. also slow traffic between ellis road and alston avenue, especially the road trip from i- 42 downtown will take 30 minutes. consider using 55 w. and as an alternate route. something have been noticing this morning, elizabeth, this is not heavy rain, just very light rain. >> is not a whole lot to cause problems out there. let's take a look at dual doppler 5000 radar, which is a lot happening in durham through chapel hill, but from raleigh east, wilson, and roanoke rapids, we are seeing rain. patchy rain starts from holly springs to fuquay-varina, zebulun, wake forest, all the way to rocky mountain wilson,
8:13 am
lewisburg, four oaks. it will be more widespread after this afternoon, more of lunchtime, that rain heads back to the south spreading northward into the area. of course in wilson, that is the place that will see plenty of room. rocky mount to wilson, an inch to an inch and half. right now, 55 in roxboro. everybody else in temperatures in the low to mid 60s with cool air filtering in. temperatures may be mild now, but we will see temperatures dropping into the 50s later today. friday and saturday look nice and dry, but near-normal with temperatures much cooler. thanks so much, elizabeth. this morning we are all about the super bowl.
8:15 am
8:17 am
8:29 am
