7:00 am
good morning. it is tuesday, february 14th, 2012. welcome to studio 57 at the cbs broadcast center. i'm charlie rose. a cbs news poll out this morning shows rick santorum is now ahead of mitt romney in the gop presidential race. bob schieffer weighs in on that. we'll go to the white house for a look at the big meeting between president obama and china's next president. i'm gayle king. whitney houston's body is brought home to new jersey. her family is planning what could be a massive public funeral. and at 8:00, why being single costs more than being married. and i'm erica hill. did the government regard the
7:01 am
warning about cigarette lighters. plus we've got jackie kennedy's legendary tour broadcast 50 years ago. but we begin with a look at today's eye opener, your world in 90 seconds. get out there and vote. >> i'm still here, and we're going to come back again. >> mitt romney and newt gingrich try to slow rick santorum's surge. >> you know who's the hot republican candidate right now? rick santorum. >> this guy is the front-runner? oh, man. activists say government forces have renewed their assault on the city. >> we have heard the call of the syrian people for help. she was very well loved, and i just felt like i need to be here tonight. >> whitney houston's body is returned to new jersey as california continues its investigation. >> until we run a tox and see

7:03 am
welcome to "cbs this morning" "cbs this morning." the republican presidential race has been full of surprises and there are more of them in "the new york times" poll. it shows rick santorum in first place leading mitt romney. support has doubled since five weeks ago. the new poll shows ron paul in third place ahead of newt gingrich. >> but the new poll finds 60% of gop primary voters say it's still too early to decide who they'll vote for with the big states not holding their primaries for several more weeks. >> let's look at those numbers and more with bob schieffer. bob, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> looking at these numbers, what do they say to you about this race for the republican nomination? >> you know, i was just sitting here this morning, thinking what is the phrase i've used more than any other phrase during this campaign season and it is, well, here we go again. you know, you don't have to be very old to remember when herman
7:04 am
cain was the front-runner and now we have newt gingrich. i think it underlines that this field is still very volatile and mitt romney still has not sealed the deal with conservatives. a very large part of his party, they just don't believe he's a conservative. they're finding -- searching for their own champion, and this week it happens to be rick santorum. >> and so when the national review magazine with bill buckley said get out, will there will be impact and will they ask newt gingrich to step behind? >> i've pronounced him dead twice during that campaign and i've learned my lesson on this. but i think that is a serious blow to newt gingrich. what's hurting gingrich right now, charlie, is you have no debates going on, and his whole campaign has been built around getting on television and
7:05 am
debating these other candidates. we haven't had any. we won't have any until toward the end of february. so he has somehow got to figure out how to hang in there until you come to these next primaries and the next debate. but right now gingrich is riding low. >> what impresses me about santorum coming from pennsylvania is the fact that he is a blue collar kaencandidate his own words, and he's ahead in michigan, which is mitt romney's stomping grounds, and it's where he -- >> it's where he grew up. it's beyond where he lived. it's where he grew up. it is very interesting to watch the santorum campaign unfold. santorum, his wheelhouse has always been with conservatives, social issues. he has been the one who has been strongly against gay marriage, he's the one who's been strongly zbengts
7:06 am
against abortion. you're seeing where he's trying to get away from that and talk economic issues. but, again, we keep talking about the republican establishment, and who is the republican establishment? this is a very different republican establishment than it was even four years ago. certainly it's a very different republican establishment than it was when mitt romney's father was the governor of michigan. this is a party that has moved to the right, and it appears to me that a larger segment of it is more conservative than it used to be just four years ago than we may have even thought. and the underlined evidence of that is rick santorum is now leading. he may actually win michigan. what does that do to the romney campaign? it's hard to say, but it's not good. >> it would definitely give us plenty to talk about, that's for sure, bob. as you mentioned about rick santorum being conservative as he talks about social issues as
7:07 am
he talks more about economy, does he have a track record that will work beyond that soeshlg conservative record? >> well, it's hard to know that, erica. he's for low taxes. he's pretty much for all the things that the other conservative republicans are about, but throughout his career, that has not been what he's talked about. the other question is what is romney going to do now? my guess is he'll go back to the one thing that seems to work for him in this campaign and that is negative advertising. let's not forget at the beginning of all this way back in iowa, there was a time when newt gingrich was leading this pack. and the next thing you know, romney and his super pac dumped just a load of negative advertising on newt. he went down. he did not really come back until south carolina. he has run some negative advertising against santorum, but my guess is that's going to
7:08 am
be the next thing we're going to see, negative advertising aimed at santorum. >> bob, thanks. >> you bet. there's a big meeting at the white house between president obama and the man who will soon become china's next president. >> not everyone is putting out the welcome mat as we hear from senior white house correspondent bill plant. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. she gjing ping is expected to b the new leader. it comes at a time with severe tension between the two countries on trade and human rights. xi is one of the most important figures in china, in line to become the head of china's communist party this year and china's president in 2013, and he could rule there for the next ten years. his trip to the u.s. is a trade mission, but it's also meant to bolster china's image.
7:09 am
in washington his country is often accused of not playing by the rules. >> it's not fair when foreign manufacturers have a leg up on ours only because they're heavily subsidized. >> reporter: that's just the beginning. the administration has always accused china of currency manipulation, protectionism, and property theft. all of which is seen as giving the chinese an unfair advantage and taking away american jobs. >> we tried to set up rules that are universal, that everybody can follow, and then we play by those rules, and then we compete fiercely. but we don't try to gain the system. >> reporter: republicans running for president try to use china too. they try to one-up each other on who can -- >> i think we're going to have to find ways to dramatically raise the pain level for the
7:10 am
chinese cheating. >> reporter: but the head of the group working to grow china business guys says the hemt of our economy is more closely linked to china's success than we might think. >> it's probably a $200 billion market for our companies now. it's important to our economy, directly or indirectly. >> reporter: and xi jinping is going to florida and iowa. the emphasis there is on trade. trade with china is rising. >> bill, he's going to iowa because he lived there briefly. tell us more about him. a very interesting man who americans will be getting to know for the first time. >> reporter: that's right. he's a bit less formal than most chinese leaders than we've seen before. in 1985 he went to iowa to study leaner pork technology and corn. he'll stay with the fam begin when he's here. his wife who is not here with him is a very big deal.
7:11 am
she's a pop star. but that's not all. she's also a major general in the people's liberation army. and by the way, his name, according to our man in hong kong, jinping means "near peace." there you go. >> and he will be the next president of china. >> bill, thanks. there are new development this morning on both coasts in the death of whitney houston. last night her body was brought from los angeles to newark, new jersey, where she was born 48 years ago. police are tight-lipped about their investigation but there are still new details coming out. john blackstone is in beverly hills at the hotel where she died on saturday morning. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. whitney houston's death remains under active investigation here, but her body was released yesterday to her family, and they are now making plans for a funeral at the end of this week back in new jersey. houston's journey back home
7:12 am
began in a van carrying her body from the los angeles county morgue. then it was put on a private jet for the flight to new jersey where houston grew up singing in a church choir. back in los angeles, there remain many unanswered questions as beverly hills police insist they're treating houston as they would any other unexpected fatality in this community. >> it's only deemed to be a death investigation. it's not prompt by her celebrity or notoriety. >> reporter: but her celebrity is leading to plenty of rumors. the website tmz showed a photo of the remains of her meal. it include both beer and champagne along with a burger and a turkey sandwich. law enforce management services have confirmed to cbs news that prescription drugs were also found in the room, creating speculation that a mixture of drugs and alcohol could have contributed to her death. kevin frazier of "the insider" had an interview scheduled when
7:13 am
her assistants became worried she was still in the bathtub. >> just before the 911 call went out, they were banging on the door, trying to get in to whitney. >> reporter: she was found unconscious by a hairdresser and a bodyguard. >> the hairdresser and bodyguard pulled her out of the bathtub, put her in the room, and she told her niece, and her niece immediately tweeted it out. >> reporter: that message on twitter from the hairdresser's niece said my aunt tiffany who works for whitney houston just found whitney dead in the tub. it's the first they t world would hear of hewn's death and imcame 20 minutes after paramedics gave up trying to revive her. late monday evening her body arrived in a new jersey funeral home where many of her fans came out to say good-bye. houston's family is considering newark's prudential center as the setting for a huge funeral
7:14 am
at the end of this week. that arena can hold some 18,000 people. >> john blackstone in beverly hills this morning. thank you. just up the coast, washington state is now the seventh state in the nation to allow same-sex marriage. the governor made it official yesterday. >> it is signed. ♪ i want to hold your hand ♪ i want to hold your hand >> the law takes effect in june. opponents are already challenging it. they say they're ready for the battle, but they want to celebrate first. >> my friends, welcome to the other side of the rainbow. [ cheers and applause ] >> and yesterday the new jersey state senate passed a same-sex bill. governor chris christie says he will veto it if it does reach his desk. overseas, the situation deteriorating once again. this morning the government resumed its assault on forces.
7:15 am
activists there say hundreds have been killed since saturday. the u.n. warned syria is on the brink of civil war. the united states says it would consider a call for international peace keepers. >> this morning a robbery involved supreme court justice stephen breyer is raising serious question about security for the judges. brier and his wife and some guests were held up at a vacation home in the caribbean. >> they say an intruder with a machete took $1,000 in cash. no one was hurt. good morning. what's going on here? >> this is either a burglary gone bad. he came into a house that happened to be owned by justice brier with a group of three other men, the principal robber wielding the machete or it was a straight up home invasion. nobody can quite tell. but it has stirred that question about when the justices travel
7:16 am
overseas on personal business or vacation, do they need protection. >> and what's likely to happen? >> well, i think, you know, this is a divided job. at the court, they're protected by the u.s. supreme court pol e police. when they make public appearances they're guard by marshals. when they travel out of state, they're on their own. i think you have two or three supreme court justices who have been robbed or attacked. only one who was ever attacked and anything that had to do with his job back in 1982. >> so in today's world that may make them targets. >> that's what they're talking about. the key indication here is there's no indicate their the robber actually knew who he was robbing other than that they watched that house, they saul activity, and thought there might be a score there. but the fbi has attached the legal attaché who's assigned
7:17 am
there. he's working with the local police to try to identify the robbers, bring them in and learn the answers to the questions. if he needs more help, he can call the miami field office and they'll send the cavalry. >> once an incident happens, they say, why haven't we thought about it before. >> they have thought about it before. the u.s. marshals would be glad to provide that protection but the justices when they go on vacation don't want to be traveling on vacation with four burly guys in flowered shirts standing in the corner. >> but that might be happening. >> it might be. today a report that apple stock, it's $500 a share monday, for the first time ever. at the same time apple says an independent group is now checking its factories in china where working conditions have been heavily criticized. according to "the new york times," the owners of the empire state building are filing for an ipo to create a new company.

7:31 am
morning. >> they've just released some of her personal papers including her notes from a famous tv tour of the white house that aired 50 years ago today. chief white house correspondent norah o'donnell is with us with more on that. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. what perhaps is most interesting about these new papers from jackie kennedy is they include her own personal handwriting, notes about how she was intimately involved including sketches of draperies, even notes about this very popular tour, this tour that was actually seen around the world and actually earned her an emmy nomination. >> well, it's the room that people see first when they come to the white house. >> reporter: on valentine's day in 1962 first lady jacqueline kennedy gave cbs news correspondent charles callingwood and america the first tour of the white house. >> they are pretty.
7:32 am
they're rather interesting because they're american as is all the furniture in this room. >> reporter: mrs. kennedy is seen at ease while show casing a $2 million renovation that she launched to restore the home with an eye to returning to its historic roots. i thought it would be interesting for you to see what a room is like when we're starting to do it. >> reporter: the scripted broadcast helped drive the perception that the kennedy white house was different from its predecessors, one of grace and elegance, and it was the public's most extended view of the first lady. >> it introduced jacqueline kennedy to the american people in a way they hadn't seen her. she wanted to show people the entire process she had worked through in the entire year she had been first lady. >> reporter: now 50 years after that historic broadcast, some of mrs. kennedy's personal papers are being made public, among them, her own changes to the original script, changing
7:33 am
indicating that the notice of camelot was hers from the very start. >> camelot was not simply a myth but rather it was an image that the kennedys began before the president's death and before mrs. kennedy ever applied that label, camelot. >> reporter: known for her meticulous attention to detail, mrs. kennedy made sure individual donors were publicly acknowledged. and also made sure to recognize the contribution of past administrations. >> mrs. eisenhower brought all this superb furniture into the room. we added the wallpaper. >> reporter: the papers contain a proposed hairstyle to mrs. kennedy to unveil on that famous 1961 trip to paris. >> i'm the man who accompanied jacqueline kennedy to paris and i've enjoyed it. >> reporter: all proving that half a century later, fascination with that glamorous first family continues to live on.
7:34 am
and you know what's interesting? this white house tour also marks in some ways a turning point in television history. this was seen as the first prime time documentary special that was marketed toward a female audience, and, of course, it helped make jackie kennedy a star not just here at home, but also around the world. >> norah, thank you so much. joining us now from austin, texas, consultant douglas brinkley. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> what are we learning about jacqueline kennedy? >> well, that 50 years ago on valentine's day she became america's sweet hare and 50 years later she still is. people love to listen to her, listen to her diction, watch her poise, try to understand what's going through her mind. that charles callingwood white house tour was just very important in tv history, not just because we're tracking a
7:35 am
female audience and because it was 80 million viewers but it was syndicated all over the world. people saw it in russia, china. and it made the white house, particularly the kennedy white house very in and very chic. we've never had the word "chic" applied to the white house until this interesting tour. >> what's interesting to me is we've had some of the audiotapes of interviews with her, and she comes through with a much stronger personality with opinions about politics that she said she got from her husband but opinions of other people as well. she was not in any way a shrinking violet. >> no. this white house tour, what this new release is showing, just how she orchestrated this. she won an emmy statuette for this performance, really. they had a hollywood director watching it. callingwood would interview her and interview her on the side
7:36 am
and have her talking. she purposely picked out which objects -- you know, the white house was. treated as a national monument before jacqueline kennedy. it was a place with furniture. she pulled in things for the white house. the recent document came out. you can see she saw how things were done in monticello or jefferson's house or mt. vernon's home. >> you could have touched on this as well. she also reviewed the role of first lady and modernized that. >> tv really is a game-changer. we're going to be coming into the convention season late this summer. in 1952 it was television cameras brought into the conventions that changed things. in 1960, kennedy/nixon debate.
7:37 am
tv plays a big role. it coincides this white house tour with callingwood that made them crazy. a week later john glenn orbited the earth. and it becomes 1962, the year of camelot and kennedy. in 1962 she -- her son john jr. was born in 1960. she took the trip to yuch. jackie and jacqueline kennedy, the family didn't have that great a year in '61. bay pigs, and the fighting. it ended in the cuban missile crisis with kennedy outfoxing most historians feel the soviets by '36, that wasn't grail she was pregnant, jackie kennedy, and she lost him.

many people don't realize. patrick only lived a few days and died. >> always greats to have you with us. we're lucky. in the situation like this, we can turn to you, charlie and get some great observations. you were telling us this morning about your relationship with jacqueline kennedy and how you came to know her. >> it wasn't a relationship much but she called me because she was a book publisher. i had begun a television program that i still continue to do. she wanted to meet and talk about the program and have lunch and in other circumstances talk how she saw it. i remembered one conversation that the clinton administration wouldn't go back and choose old kennedy people and would, in fact, reach out to have young people. i later would see her in new york when she dated a very nice man that became the person she

7:47 am
fact that these drugs have become generic so there's not a big margin for them. you can't point to one thing, manufacturing problems, problems with raw materials, problems with, again, the profit margin here, but there is a solution, okay? the solution -- at least one solution is that the fda -- it's a perfect role for them to be the orchestrater, the conductor here and say, you know something? if we just get a heads up, we can predict which companies are going to be at a shortage and try to prevent it. in the last two years they've prevented more than 200 of these shortages, but the problem is there are three bills in congress right now to address this and they have not been brought to the floor to vote. >> maybe this will bring some attention there. john, thanks. rue put murdock is facing a revolt. he's expected in london this week. we'll take a closer look at this investigation. one of his reporters is now

8:01 am
down his flagship paper "the sun." charlie d'agata is in london. charlie, good morning. >> good morning. rupert murdoch will be feeling the heat once again. the arrest came over the weekend and the tip-off came from murdo murdoch's own people. they're making accusations that they're being hung out to dry. he's going to return to london this week in a desperate attempt to contain a crisis that won't go away. in fact, it's got even worse. now he's facing a showdown at the crowned jewel of his british empire. it triggered predawn range in what staffers called a heavy-handed witch hunt. >> if we sep that this is disproportionate and a proportion needs to be restored, then you wind down some of the activities. why do you need 20 police
8:02 am
officers for a single journalist. >> reporter: murdoch may be coming to assure "sun" employees and avoid a mutiny. but the last time his paper was in this much trouble, he shut it down. but those who work for him say the media mogul has a reputation for surviving a crisis. >> he's got battles on his hands, but this is a man who's battled for the last 60-plus years. he's been sued by the queen. he's had to write a check for a million pounds to sir elton jon. >> reporter: however, many wonder what he could do. last july it was saving the skin of rebecca. within days she was gone, forced to resign. the corruption probe is running along sooids the ongoing hacking investigation that's seen murdoch eat humble pie. and later take a pie in the face. it would have been a direct hit too if not for the efforts of
8:03 am
his wife wendy. murdoch's heir apparent, son james, has come under fire too. they're not trying for survival of the empire but the man who built it. his main priority here is damaged limitations. the trouble with murdoch's papers haven't come from a few bad ams but the whole orchard. what is he expected to do? he's quoted as saying, the "sun" has turned against rue purpt murdoch. the sun was a newspaper most loyal to murdoch. it was closest to his heart. he won't be welcomed, and they believe that he's launch add witch hunt to protect himself. so where could this go? >> well, he's going to face a showdown, charlie, when he's expected to arrive here, thursday or friday. it's going to whack through the newsroom at the "sun."
8:04 am
these are names that are known here, ratted out within murdo murdoch's own organization. so we're hearing that the journalists who have been alleged to have used some of these practices and widely accepted at the murdoch empire, they're now scrambling to lawyers and defending themselves. this is the crown jewel. itz's something he built his empire from 30, 40 years ago. so it will be a showdown and it will -- we'll look to see what happens thursday or friday when rue put murdock is expected to arrive. >> he used the "sun" to pay for the times and other public indications that he had. some people ask the following question not about london but whether this investigation might come to the united states where the news corps is head long island. >> although he's had the hacking

a look at st. paul this morning. more than 2 million lighters are sold every day in the u.s. it's a staggering number. many of them are imported from china, and we're learning they could have dangerous flaws. >> it's true. investigative correspondent has a story of a texas couple paying the price for one bad lighter. >> reporter: one spring evening in 2008, ricky klemmer got a frantic call from his brother bill and rushed to bill's work at a nearby machine shop. >> from his waist up he was just burned up. i mean black. and he said, my cigarette lighter blew up.
8:11 am
>> reporter: those were the last words the brothers ever exchanged. bill was rushed to the hospital where he died 28 days later. the family was left to piece together what went wrong. >> billy set himself on fire here, ran over there, put himself out, ran back and called me. how he managed to do that, you know, i haven't a clue how he managed to do that. >> reporter: the klemmers reconstructed it. they included design flaws and they provided this animation showing how. after bill lit his cigarette, the lighter should have shut off. instead the experts say a small flame continued to burn hidden under the flame guard. fuel leaked out, evaporated under his clothes, heated and caught fire. >> i can feel some of the unburned liquid on my hands. >> reporter: one of the investigators provided us his
8:12 am
video. watch the flame continue to burn after it's supposed to go out. >> still not out. still not out. >> reporter: one billion cheap disposable lighters are sold in the u.s. each year. most like bill's come from china. all those lighters and yet the u.s. has no mandatory safety standards as they do in europe and canada. here the standards are vol tairks met by u.s. companies but not necessarily the foreign competition. but there's something that makes bill's story even more difficult. it turned out the very government agency that oversees lighter safety knew of the problem years before bill ever put the lighter in his pocket. in 2006 the consume irproduct safety commission concluded 70% of chinese lighters fail to live up to u.s. standards and lighter malfunctions cause many injuries a year.
8:13 am
the consumers product safety commission took no action. ricky didn't know about any of that until we told him. >> the consumer product safety commission took up this issue two years before your brother's accident. >> see, i -- this is -- i had. heard about that. >> reporter: we showed him the report. >> they had all the information and just ignored it. ignored it. >> reporter: nobody from the consumer product safety commission would agree to an interview. in writing they told us lighter safety is important and yet at this time our hard-working staff is tissuely engaged in efforts to save lives and prevent injuries from many other products. for now they remain on store shelves. our cbs affiliate recently found them on sale in the houston area. >> it sells good? a lot of people buy these? >> what would you like to say to the folks of the consumer
8:14 am
product safety commission? >> do your job. if you're going to make regulations and protect people, make the regulations to protect people and don't be half-hearted about it. you can't pay me for what happened to my brother. i'll have nightmares for the rest of my life thinking about this. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," sharyl attkisson, houston. >> after cbs news contacted the consumer protection agency, they started an investigation. his family meantime sued the company and won, but because no one from the company responded to the lawsuit, the klemmers have no way to collect. it is an important day for the duchess of came britain. katherine better known as kate has big plans. and there's someone getting people talking. she's a hollywood icon, raquel

miss welch, i do need to talk do you about a little problem regarding your performance? >> what kind of problem? >> well, it seems that due to the vagaries of the production parameters, vis-a-vis, the fragmenting of the audience due to cable television, carnivals -- >> out with it. >> you're out because you don't use your arms and you tap dance like a gorilla. >> that classic "seinfeld" moment featured raquel welch.
8:19 am
>> she starred in more than 30 films, appeared on tv shows and appeared on broadway and bake a best-selling author. i read that book. she will star on "csi miami." charlie was hoping you'd wear the bikini today. do you have it in your purse? >> this is a woman whose fantasy goes way wide. >> charlie, what's happened with that costume, for an fyi is in the wings of the smith sohn onwaiting to be hung. >> when you walked in the room, you still had that raquel aura. when did you know you had that va va voom? when did you know, i'm serious. >> at 7. >> tony on our floor -- where's tony. he became a drooling man. oh, yes, i remember raquel.
8:20 am
>> that's why i wore a suit, i wanted to talk. >> when did you know? >> i wanted to be an actress and when puberty arrived, i started getting equipment and realized this could be helpful. >> the len con center of film society, what are they doing over there? >> i have no idea. i've been over there the last couple of days. there are two more days of it. the film society of lincoln center is doing a retrospective tribute to me and all my movies, not all my movies but a number of my movies. >> and among those movies, which was the one that you cherished the most? >> "three musketeers," i won the golden globe. that's, of course, very dear to my heart. and a lot of people i worked in the movie with, faye dunaway and oliver read, god bless him. he's not with us anymore. and dick west.
8:21 am
i loved working with him. >> it couldn't be dub in one afternoon. i think that says something about the work that you do. >> it's so funny because when i first heard they were going to do this, i kind of thought, have they lost their mind? i mean what have i -- my movies? at lincoln center? for real. it turns out there were some very nice moves. "three musketeers," "last of tschida," "hunter rivals. we're already out of time. >> no, no, no. you donated -- your companies donate $5 million worth of wigs. i think that's huge. >> 15. >> i'm sorry. >> it's now built out over a period of years we made a dedication to the american cancer society. it's come out to $15 million
8:22 am
worth of wigs given to the women at american cancer society who have suffered from hair loss because of the treatments and the chemotherapy. >> i had no idea it was a wig. >> yes. well this one is a wig, yes. this one i'm wearing a wig. i wear them quite often. >> yeah, you look great. >> when you look like you do and look like you did as well, was it -- >> it's okay. it's okay. >> charlie, can you speak? >> was it hard to convince them you were, a, a serious act tress, that you wanted to perform in supported roles? was that an argument you had to constantly make with these studio heads? >> yes, in a way. i tell a story in the q and a at the lincoln center about "three musketeers." one of the first days on set i with end to the director and said, mr. chaffry, i've been thinking, and he said don't.

8:30 am
it does not come in generic form. ask your doctor if nasonex is right for you. i love this story, just in time for valentine's day. u.s. olympic swimmer won a gold medal on safrmtd his girlfriend gave him a kiss and she was about to walk away. he dropped to his knee, he pulls out an engagement ring and asked her to marry him and what does
8:31 am
she say, yes. >> don't you love the reaction? >> yes. this is a story, regardless whether you're a boy or a girl, you go, ah. i love the idea of love. speaking of valentine's day, it is today. all you couples when you say happy valentine's day, you might want to say, and thanks for the tax break it's so romanic. it's not that the taxes are lower but married people pay less than single people for a lot of things. carmen wong ulrich is here. >> doesn't sound fair. >> here's the big deal. we're turning into a single nation. for the first time, half of american adults are single. this is a huge tremendous thing. this is not just young people. these are people that are divorced. >> of all ages? of all ages that are single. in 2010, 48% they were single.
8:32 am
in 1950, 29%. >> we can see the day when it's reverse. >> we're within that in a couple of years. if you look at younger generations, they're just not as interested in being married. it ooh's big shift. >> but there's -- even if we're moving toward that, where specifically are they sort of getting the short end of the stick? >> here's the thing. it's the real cost of being married or sing. especially when it comes to insurance, life insurance, auto insurance, you can pay anywhere from fro 10% to 50% more if you're single. this is because the act ware, they crunch the numbers. if there is a big income disparity, they get huge
8:33 am
discounts. 50% of married couples pay a lot less in taxes. >> they think it's kwequals sta ability. what's interesting in the workplace, when i was single, i did not thing it was fair that i was asked to work longer hours, give up micah vags for the married people and when i was married with kids i said why don't you ask erica to do it. it's interesting how your perspective changes. >> it does change. it changes a lot. actually research was done that shows it's pretty drastic especially when it comes to renting. we know the history of renting discrimination in this country. here's the thing. overwhelmingly landlords prefir to rent to folks who are married. 80%. even singles who are cohabitating. and in the workplace, on average, married men controlling
8:34 am
for education control, controlling for experience level, make around 29% more than single men. >> okay. so it is valentine's day. for anybody who may not have valentine or be single. >> here. >> give us a positive. the new normal is being single, whether it's divorce or whatever it may be. >> all these discounts -- you know,ite goengs to have to catch up. as the demographics are changing in terms of the managements and consumer angle, it's got to change. are those actuarial tables going to hold? probably not. we're going to see in the next 10, 15 years a majority of the america. when it comes to the workplace, that's going to have to change too. it's just going to have to. >> carmen has spoken. >> yeah, you got it. >> the ex-leader of china visits the white house later today. we'll ask former national
8:35 am
security
8:36 am
8:37 am
as president's jimmy carter's security adviser brzezinski offer as view of the role in america today as the power shifts from the west to the east. welcome. >> good to be with you. >> good to see you. >> tell me what the vision is that you see today and whether america is truly in decline in its power in the world. >> america's not itself in decline in the sense that many aspects of america are changing positively, although we have some overwhelmingly complex issues to confront. the problem is that others are rising more rapidly than we. >> the rise of the rested. >> exactly. there's a relative decline. that's how power changes over
8:38 am
time. that's challenge the we have to face. but we have to recognize the fact that unlike the recent past, we now live in the age come plexty, of no power being capable of being dominant totally. we have to have foreign policy that competes and at the same time cop fronts the issues. >> are you at odds when the president addressed in his state of the union address, anyone who thinks america is in a state of decline is overthinking? >> the fact of america is there are many aspects of american life of our sort of society that is stagnating. >> there is, some say, a decline in trust between the united states and china and that china got some of the american higher-up when it exercised its veto with the security council
8:39 am
about a resolution having to do with syria. >> well, yes. i think on both sides there are growing resentments. on the chinese side there is a little bit of this sense of gratification, that we have domestic problems and that relative to us, they're rising and expect to surpass us. on our side there is some resentment of that, and also some inclination in my judgment, perhaps misguided, to line up with some asian pours that view china as a rival or as a threat. and to do so in a slightly column city way and therefore convince the chinese that we're already ganging up against them. so we both have to be careful. >> if you were the national security adviser today, what would you be advising president obama to do about syria. >> when he says assad must go, he'd bet very a policy to force him out. first of all, don't make statement use cannot follow up on.
8:40 am
secondly, in this particular case, we have to follow the advice and work closely with the turks and the saudis. these are the two countries with the biggest direct interest and with the possibility of doing something. and that's work with them and through them, but not taking the lead and certainly not just verbally. >> if the world is not able to stop the violence in syria, will the history judge it badly? >> that depends entirely on the outcome and we don't know yet what the outcome's going to be. >> it gets worse day by day. >> we have no way of predicting. look at libya. we were very happy to get rid of gadhafi. do we have democracy? stability? >> no. we have competing forces trying to take power. >> exactly. there are two powers that are indirectly competing against each other within syria but indirectly, iran and israel. >> let me move to iran. will sanctions work both in
8:41 am
terms of oil and in terms of financial transactions? >> they work already to an extent. they weaken iran and they make stability more difficult for the iranian leadership to maintain. i don't think they will work in a kind of decisive fashion if our objective is to deprive the iranians entirely of their nuclear program and to humiliate them to boot. >> the president has said it's unacceptable for iran to have nuclear weapons or the capability to make nuclear weapons. do you believe it's unacceptable? >> we have north korea already possessing nuclear weapons and delivery systems and we find that unacceptable. so the word "unacceptable" is again one of these words that means a lot. at the sam time, sometimes nothing. >> what would you vietz if he comes to the oval office and the prime minister is coming to the oval office within the next month and says we have to go
8:42 am
because bebelieve time is not ott our side with respect to doing something about iran. they're developing an immunity from attack. >> what i would say to them is this. first of all, we deterred the soviet union which was much more threatening than iran ever will be. we deterred china. we're deterring north korea. we will deter i rap. second, we will proclaim from the united states that any threat from iran ininvolving nuclear weapons or other kinds of weapons against any country in the middle east, arab or israel will with viewed by the united states as a threat against the united states. >> but as you know, the problem is not just iran having nuclear weapons, being able to con tame them. is that it will be nuclear proliferation in the middle east. >> not at all. >> that's what they say. >> i don't care what they say. you know, you have to have much more than just the possibility of weapons jouchl to have
8:43 am
delivery systems that are tried and tested and capable of delivering nuclear weapons. you have to have a lot of other systems to make it operative. i think a guarantee from the united states of complete protection which has satisfied the japanese and koreans, which has protected europeans under much more threatened conditions can work in the middle east, but we have to be firm and credible about it and we have to say a conflict is not in our interest because we know there's a conflict, we'll be hit by the iranians. do you want another war in that part of the world? do you want the oil to go up? do you want our troops threatened? i don't know how this isn't in anyone's interest. >> to see iran bombed. >> exactly. what evidence is there except anxiety and fear that they're going do it. >> so the sum total that you believe about it is we can live
8:44 am
with a nuclear iran. >> look. i don't want to live with a nuclear iran. i would like to make it uncomfortable for them to seek it. i would like to promote internal change in iran, which is more likely we don't fuse iranian national lichl with iranian fundamentalism. >> you list a number of things that are at steak. financial stability, national debt, winding inequality, deindication infrastructure, but you want to add specifically american ignorance about the word. >> yes. thing that's a fundamental problem. we can't have an intelligent foreign policy unless we have an ill tell subsequent public. look at the democracy. look at the attack in 20i 3. the public basically supported it. we have set impossible goals for ourselves in afghanistan. we had to go in but the goals we
8:45 am
set are extreme. we don't have a public that really understands the world anymore and in the age of complexity, that problem becomes much more difficult. >> this dialogue in this book will help the public understand and i thank you for coming in. >> charlie, as always, thank you. in britain this morning catherine is getting more attention than usual. find out why. her date with the queen in a few weeks is being called a ground brake moment. you're watching "cbs this morning." whatcha lookin' for hon? ah, these new jeans i want. i've been looking everywhere. new blue jeans? oh, don't be crazy, i've got tons of blue jeans. frank! frank! get my jean bin, susie wants my jeans.

prince william is on military duty in the faulkland islands so his wife catherine, duchess of cambridge, is flying solo. >> soon she'll be appearing with the queen. that's very unusual. victoria arbiter is here with all the news from the palace.
8:48 am
