going occasionally yielding to questions. >> where do chinese berries come from? most would say china, but think again. >> the government cuts money for obama care. >> cruz even reads dr. seuss at his children's bedtime. >> i do not like them, sam i am, i do not like green eggs and ham. if we can resolve the issue of iran's nuclear program, that can serve as a major step toward a different relationship. three days of mourning are now under way in kenya. flags are at half-staff around nairobi. >> kenya's president is claiming victory. an earthquake created a new 45-foot-high island off the pakistan coast. >> the dog bit its owner of the bum. >> all that -- >> one to go. bravo. no.

and michael wacha liwith no no-hitter. >> i guess it wasn't meant to be. >> i must be really easy to make fun of. >> which was a bigger deal in your house, golf our politics? >> baseball. >> -- and all that matters -- >> i eat, drink, and -- >> obama was like really? >> -- on "cbs this morning." >> don't kid yourself. we'd be screwed without them. this morning they tried the ben affleck/"batman" thing. >> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" is presented by toyota, let's go places. captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning." good morning, norah. >> good morning, charlie. >> we begin in war where the lights have been on all night in

the u.s. senate. here's a live look. one republican senator has been speaking for more than 16 hows. ted cruz is uraming his colleagues to cut a bill funding the health care bill. >> but the senate is expected to approve a bill to keep the government running without any changes to obama care. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. nancy, what a night. >> reporter: it sure is, norah and charlie. good morning. it's already the fifth longest senate floor speech of all time, he's still going getting help at this hour from senator marko rubio asking him questions to keep him going. this is a move that some republicans call courageous. others call pointless because republicans don't have the votes to defund the president's health care law. >> cruz took to the floor, ditching his trademark cowboy boots in favor of comfy

sneakers. >> i intend to support this until i am no longer able to stand. >> he's a passionate opponent of the president's health care law. he has detailed his concerns. >> it's forcing america into parts of ee greemgs work. this law is a train wreck. >> reporter: a handful of republicans have joined cruz on the floor. >> i want to thank you for having the courage to stand here and raise the concerns that i'm hearing all over my state. >> but many senate republicans do not support cruz's efforts. they fear republicans will get blamed if the government doesn't get funded in time. >> my own view is it would be to the advantage of our colleagues and the house who are in the majority to shorten the process. >> in a new cbs/new york times poll, more than three quarters of the americans, say it's not a way to negotiate.

cruz says it's the democrats who are to blame. >> we should not shut down the government and i sincerely hope senator reid and president obama do not force a government shutdown simply to force obama care on the american people. >> reporter: he did veer off topic once in a while. >> when your dad makes pancakes it's very cool when he can flip them high and catch them. >> reporter: at one point he read two bedtime stories for his young daughters watching on c-span. >> i do not like green eggs and ham. i do not like them, sam i am. >> reporter: there has been a debate whether this is a true filibuster. because of rules he cannot block the funding bill that's on floor for today. there's no debate, norah and charlie that this is a triumph of the will over the bladder, however, if he wants to nab that first spot for the longest time

he's going to have to keep talking on the senate floor until about 3:00 this afternoon. >> nancy cordes, thank you. at united nations obama made the case for a reboot with u.s. relations with iran. hou three hours later hassan rowhani echoed the same. >> americans are not hopeful about relations with iran. only 22% in the new cbs/new york times poll expect relations to improve, and on the president's handling of relations with iran, more disapprove and that approve, 44% to 39%. margaret brennan is was. good morning. >> good morning to you, norah and charlie. the white house sees the best diplomatic chance for an opening with iran in years and president obama will make it the main foe

kur next year. he announced that the recent pledge that his country does not want to build a nuclear bomb but says the u.s. wants concrete proof. >> i do believe if we can resolve the issue of iran's nuclear program, that can serve as a major step down a long road toward a different relationship, one based on mutual interests and mutual respect. >> president rowhani said he listened carefully to president obama's speech and said he would immediately start to talk about iran's nuclear program. iran seeks instructive engagement with other countries based on mutual respect and common interests and does not wish to seek tensions with the united states. president rowhani did lash out at the u.s.-led sanctions that are cripping their economy but the u.s. says that may be the

real reason they're reaching out. they want them lifted. there were rumors they might shake hands at the lunch. carter met the shaw in 1977 and the first that brought the ayatollahs to power. it didn't happen. the white house offered to have the two meet for a few minutes but the iranians declined. a senior member said even a brief presidential encounter was too complicated for iranians to do at this point. later he had this message to americans in a cnn interview. >> i bring peace and friendship from iranians to americans. >> president obama told john kerry to take the diplomatic lead on these negotiations, and tomorrow the secretary of state will meet his iranian counterpart. that will be the highest level

negotiation between the u.s. and iran about that country's nuclear program. but as you can imagine, there are skeptics of capitol hill and israel who are saying proceed cautiously. >> but does the administration believe this is the beginning? >> they believe in the words of the administration's official this is the best chance in years particularly when you look at the administration that came before rowhani. so you can say these are iranians and there's hope but there's question. >> it clearly opened the door for some sort of meeting, at least a handshake. a chance encounter that was going go set up. so was president obama snubbed? >> well, the white house sort of gestures toward domestic issues back in iran. one, rowhani was elected president. he doesn't run the country. the ayatollah does. he doesn't run it the way the president is. but it's also the optics of

shaking hands, they're difficult. we'll see on thursday. there might be some action. tennessee top republican bob corker. he's an outspoken voice on the president's foreign policy and the vice president. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> how do you see this convenient in united nations in which there was a snub or a failure to shake a hand and to move to perhaps a very fascinating photo op? >> you know, charlie, it's hard to say. you and i may have had this kind of situation. i know norah has where you've had a suitor that was overly aggressive, but, you know. who knows what happens. i can tell you that there's no question that there wouldn't be an opportunity to even discuss diplomacy had we not enacted in a bipartisan way the sanctions that we now have on iran.

so we've had two rounds of those. they've had an impact. that's one of the reasons that rowhani was elected. hopefully we can build off the gains that have been created through the sanctions that were created in a big way but it still has. changed their behavior yet. >> you believe there's real opportunity here and you have to take him seriously in a sense to see what they're prepared to do. >> you know, charlie, i think you always have to hope that diplomacy is going to work. i think at the same time what you don't do is turn off the sanctions that you have in place. you leave the pressure there. look. you know, i do think that we sent some mixed signals into the region recently. i don't know how seriously people are taking these things right now, but, look. i think again we need to continue to try to solve this diplomatically. obviously the iranian ownership of nuclear weapons is

unacceptable. look. i think we need to use every resource we have and see if there's an opportunity here. i will say that while his tone is different than we've had in the past, his actions have been very similar in the past to what we've seen, and that is a continued building toward them having a nuclear arm a meant. again, i think we need to use every resource we have. the sanctions are a best asset to hopefully continue down this path, okay? >> i want to turn now to what's happening in the u.s. senate and what's happening within your own party. one of your colleagues, senator cruz, has pulled an all nighter. it's not a filibuster because the fate of this is already decided. are you concerned about that -- that what your fellow senator is doing could hurt your party's chances of taking back the u.s. senate? >> well, it depends on the outcome. i think that, you know, all of us are unified and hoping that obama care will be delayed,

defunded, you know, that we can do something relative to the individual mandate, that we can do something relative to the medical device. it's obviously the tactics that are being deployed. >> but is senator cruz's speech going to do anything to help delay that for a year which is the compromise you're pushing for? >> well, we still have some time. and, norah, you know, watching washington for all the time we have, nothing typically happens until the last minute. i think the house is already as we know looking at sending something back that's a be little different than a pure defunding. a delay on the individual mandate may be dealing with the opmps. i think you know that congressional members and their staffs have ended up being dealt with a little differently than the rest of the country. so i think there are a number of things we might accomplish over the next week as long as we don't cause this to go beyond the time of the government needing to be funded.

>> senator, no one doubts senator cruz's opposition to obama care and desire to be funded but some people are saying this is about personal ambition and being seen fighting for this because it serves his own presidential ambitions. >> you know, i think it's best for all of us -- i mean people are here for different motivations, and i think to try to ascertain what somebody's individual motivation is, you know, probably it's not a good thing for me to do. but, look. i came here to try to help create our country -- an opportunity for our country to move ahead, put in place good public policy, and hopefully over the course of the next several days we'll have an opportunity to do that. >> thank you. >> thank you very much, okay? >> thank you, senator. kenya begins an official mourning today for the islamic siege. they claim many more are tracked in the rubble.

they're searching for more victims this morning. charlie d'agata is at the scene in nairobi. charlie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie and norah. there's a sense of relief as the siege has come to an end but they're also coming to terms with the shock over what's unfolded in the past few days, the fate of the hostages and what took place inside the mall. flags will flying at half-mast as kenyans are mourning the loss of the hostages at the westwood mall. details are finally beginning to emerge about the assault. what's clear is none of the hostages made it out aliej. this video shows the actions of those who braved the assault. kenyan authorities reportedly tried to negotiation but they didn't even respond. there are also reports that as a helicopter hovered overhead they started executing hostages,

tossing their bodies off the roof. any rescue operation was further hampered by smoke from fire set by gunman. in announcing the siege was over, the president said kenya stared down evil and triumphed. >> we have shamed our attackers. >> they said three floors in the mall collapsed and several bodies were buried beneath the rubble includesing those of terrorists and hostages. the sheer amount of fire power used in the four-day siege have led kenyan investigators to chase leads. some of the ataerks rented a shop in the mall for the last three months, sneaking in ammunition. intelligence reports suggested two or three americans may have been among the attackers but he said he ordered forensic

attackers to examines the bodies to determine their identities. 11 suspects have been arrested. five gunmen were shot inside the mall. presumably the rest were killed in the onslaught. the death toll stands at 61 but the death toll is likely to double as they're able to retrieve more bodies in the mall. norah and charli >> thank you. strong aftershocks continue to shake southwest pakistan this morning after a massive earthquake. it registered a magnitude of 7.7, hitting near the board of iran. at least 210 people are dead. hundreds more are hurt. thousands are homeless, and communication is spotty. and take a look at the true power of this quake. pakistani officials say it forms a new island off the country's southern coast. the land mass is visible from shore. it is about 100 feet long and 60 feet high. incredible. >> i saw this video, and i juld

talking about energy issues and climate change. >> where are we going to sit? >> why don't you sit in the middle. i still remember the v.p. gig. >> all right. so how did this happen? you were just backstage and say hello? >> i didn't think al was going to come. them he had to come to new york and he comes by. then he had this interview with you and then we started talking about climate change and this u.n. report that's coming up in a if days. >> it took you, charlie, to get us to sit down jointly. >> i'll take that credit if you'll give it to me. >> he's a better politician than i am. we do talk a lot. >> about everything. >> mm-hmm. but especially about all this energy business. first of all, when i can't figure out what's going on, i call him and he explains it to me. >> i try. i understand. >> and then i just kind of go

around trying to figure out how to put together probablies that will work. but it's a fascinating issue. you know, i still believe that we're going to do the right thing before calamity hits the earth, but we're pushing it. >> when people feel and understand these extreme weather events, they're way more common and way more severe than they used to be. and even people who don't want to get into a discussion about global warming are looking and noticing and saying, hey, we've got to do something about this. >> what's interesting about this, you and i would both like to sit there with these two guys and talk about politics, talk about life after the presidency, and the respected ways and directions their career has taken. this is the first time, al gore has said to me, they sat on the same stage in ten years. >> incredible. as we know, there was a lot of tension when they left the office and al gore lost.

>> he said the president didn't do much. >> no doubt. it was extraordinary to see them. how about al gore, he looks like he lost a lot of weight. >> he looks good. and he's funny, what he said there. all the things they could talk about. this was specifically to the environment. still don't know why the president wanted to come out. but he did. i had one minute's notice to say the president would like to come out. all the questions you want to ask, you think, god, maybe another time. >> maybe another session. they were talking climate change yesterday and now we're learning that scientists and researchers are looking at how to change the weather on purpose. that's right. laser, now could one day manipulate rain and lightning. cbs contributor michio kaku is a professor. nice to see you. extraordinary seeing bill clinton and al gore.

>> it was. >> lasers, really, to change the weather? >> that's right. as mark twain famously said, everyone complains about the weather but no one does anything about it. well, instead of doing a rain darngs we physicists are firein lasers into the sky to actually bring down lightning bolts. >> but this is experimental. >> it's experimental, however, in the laboratory so far it works. when you have water vapor and dust particles or ice crystals, you can precipitate rain. it condenses around the seeds. these seeds can also be created by laser beams. you rip apart electronilek ee electrons. >> this fascinates me because in part i remember reading stories that china used this during the olympics, that ussr used it

after chernobyl to create rain clouds. do those really work then? they have some capabilities now? inconclusive. even in the '60s they used it to bring down monsoons during the vietnam war to wash out the vietn vietnam cong. >> alleged to. >> lajed to. nothing con cluesive. this time we're bringing in the laws of physics rather than waving our hands and whispering mum beau jumbo. in the laboratory, sure enough, they precipitate rain out of water vapor. sure enough you can bring electricity down the beam. >> what does it mean for drought areas that need to have rain for crops and if they don't have them, the consequences are famine? >> the bad news is if it's a clear blue sky, it's not going to do anything at all. it already takes water vapor in the air and condenses it.

however, for floods, for agriculture, for farmers, for people planning wedding parties, football game, you name it. outdoor events and agriculture and flooding and eve hurricanes, all of them could be subject to weather modification. >> incredibly interesting. professor michio kaku. thank you so much. and some are calling new burger king french fridays low fat a new science. others are calling it an act of desperation. we'll look at that on "cbs this morning." across america people are taking charge of their type 2 diabetes with non-insulin victoza®. for a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar, but it didn't get me to my goal.

so i asked my doctor about victoza®. he said victoza® is different than pills. victoza® is proven to lower blood sugar and a1c. it's taken once-a-day, any time, and comes in a pen. and the needle is thin. victoza® is not for weight loss, but it may help you lose some weight. victoza® is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. it is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza® has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza® is not insulin. do not take victoza® if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza® or any of its ingredients. symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include: swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat, fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat, problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching.

tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza®, including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis), which may be fatal. stop taking victoza® and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back, with or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. taking victoza® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza®. it's covered by most health plans. started using bb cream about a year ago. it's great because it hydrates, it's a foundation, it's a concealer, it's a primer, it has sunscreen... i love it. and it's really quick.

that is very helpful, for me.

the best chance for a diplomatic opening for iran in years and the obama administration will make nuclear negotiations the prime focus. >> there's a sense of relief here in nairobi, but there's also a sense of a state of shock in terms of the events that have unfolded in the past four days. >> team usa roars back to life at the america's cup. >> we are all even. it will be winner take all. >> we can send lasers in the sky to precipitate rain clouds. this is potentially a game-changer. >> where should i sit. >> wherever you like. >> kwhie don't you sit in the middle. i still remember the v.p. gig. >> whether there was a snub or failure to shake a hand. >> it's hard to say. you and i may have had this kind of situation. i know norah has where you've had a suitor that was overly aggressive.

>> i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. the senate votes today on a bill to keep the government running. later this week democrats are expected to strip out a provision that would defund president obama's hem care fund. >> many of his fellow republicans say the texas senator is hurting the gop. a cbs/new york times poll out this morning shows that 70% of americans do not think that republicans are trying to work with the president. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. nancy, good morning to you. >> good morning, norah, charlie, and gayle. that's right. privately there are many senate republicans fuming about this move. they call it grandstanding. they say any move that looks like it's going delay government funding and cause a shutdown could end up hurting republicans but senator cruz says he is aware of the criticism and isn't bothered by it. >> the senator from texas -- >> reporter: cruz took to the floor at 2:41 eastern time

ditching his trademark cowboy boots in favor of more comfortable black sneakers. >> i intend to support the defeat of obama care until i am no longer able to stand. >> reporter: as the hour wore on, he has detailed his concerns. >> the most ee fwreejs parts of obama care have not kicked in yet. this law is a train wreck. >> reporter: in a new c bbs/new york times poll, they say it's not a way to negotiate. as the speech wound into the night cruz did run off topic once in a while. >> when your dad makes pancakes, it's cool when he can do a flip up high and catch them. >> reporter: at one point he even read two bedtime stories for his young daughters watching on c-span. >> i do not like green eggs and ham. i do not like them, sam i am. >> reporter: he also quoted from

the hit cable show "duck dynasty." he referenced "60 minutes." he read a bible story but always brought it back. i have to say at this hour, the 18th hour, he's still going strong and could do it for a while. >> the president opened the door for improved relations with iran, but several attempts to reach out to iran's president did not materialize. there was talk that the two might shake hands at luncheon, but roh hassan rowhani did not . the government is now showing us the price of insurance under the new health care law. the so-called bropz plan with basic coverage would cost an average of $163 a month for a 27-year-old nonsmoker. silver plans with broader coverage would average $203 a

month. the most expensive gold planrun $240 a month. here's good news. the price of regular unleaded gas averages $3.45 a gallon. that's down six cents from a week ago and three cents from a year ago. we're joined at the table. always good to see you especially when you have good news. why is it happening? >> for a couple of reasons. the price of crude has backed down. we're getting reports from the president mr. rowhani that they could more crude on the market. our refinery is running at the highest rate ever, this time of the year. oil crude production is as high as it's been since the reagan administration and we've got an aging population that's driving less and turning over the car

fleet faster than ever. >> i think that's a very interesting story that u.s. oil production is up so much, about how much we're producing our own energy. are we becoming less dependent? >> we are. in a way you can call ben bernanke the accidental architect on this because oil interest rates have kept interest rates relatively high. so there's a lot of oil exploration. on the other hand low interest rates are leading to people buying vehicles. vehicle sales are as high as they've been in a generation and the new cars are get 25g miles per gallon. even though you watch nfl football games and you see them. >> how low can it go? >> i think we'll go lower than last year, which was $3.21 for the year. and i think an awful lot of states will be able to buy less than $3. if you use a gas buddy app, you can buy it for less than $3 in

some states. if you aggressively look, you can do 25 cents better. >> over the long run national gas will be a huge contributor to all of this. >> well, national gas is a huge contributor to the refining renaissance. it's one of the reasons why we can manufacture products like gasoline and diesel much cheaper than everybody else. the point of getting people to use natural gas vehicles, that's a little bit touchier because of infrastructure. >> but they can be used for other structures and therefore have an impact. >> yes. we'll probably see natural gas used for a lot of long haul trucks in the next decade juror amazon's ceo jeff bezos is introduced another form of it. when he sat down with us, we

wanted to know more about his recent acquisition of the "washington post." it is losing ad revenue and subscribers. >> what's happening here is the internet has changed so many things that there's going to to have to be a long period of experimentation, trial and error. you have to try and fail. believe as this continues to develop, it's going to be a whole new golden age for journalism, and i'm excited about that. i'm very optimistic about it. >> jeff bezos paid $250 million for the paper. jim henson's magical world of muppets are now residing in the nation's capitol. those iconic characters will be part of a new exhibit. jan crawford is at the smithsonian exhibit. jan, is it true, could kermit and miss piggy be back together? >> it almost looks like they're

real, like they're getting ready to start talking an laughing. pick up that glass, kermit. it's all part of the brilliance of the late jim henson. they're some of the most beloved characters in television history. there's bert and ernie, cookie monster, and of course, the indomitable miss piggy. now you can say the gang is back together, preserved forever at the smektsonian. >> now they belong to the nation. >> reporter: on tuesday, the family of jim henson, the creative genius behind the muppets donated 25 of their father's puppets. helpson's characters are now cultural icons embracing chelsea

clinton in new york, doing interviews with bob schieffer, and, of course, with the man who talks to everyone who's anyone. brian j. jones, author of a new ought braef of henson explains their appeal. >> his work has transcended generations. i think because it's so warm, so genuine. the there's not mean-spirited about the muppets. >> reporter: another thing. you almost forget they're not real. she said that's why kermit is her favor. he was so much like her father. >> whimsical, send mental, a little melancholy, a little trying to hold it all together. she even refers to a specific scene from the first muppet movie. >> i've got a dream too. >> it's like, i've got a dream and i'm going to make people

happy by singing and dancing. i really feel like that was my dad. ♪ >> so many of us feel like, you know, we grew up with these characters. so i asked cheryl henson what was it like to really grow up with them as the child of jim henson. she said, you know, it wasn't like we were playing with these puppets and they were lying around the house. her dad was this warm, brilliant, funny guy but he was serious about his work and the magic he was creating. charlie, norah, gayle? >> who's your favorite muppets character? >> miss piggy. >> what about oscar, gonzo? >> i just love an attitude. >> i would have loved to have seen the interview of you, charlie, talking with the muppets. i thought that was very niechls were you nervous? >> of course. you know, the interesting thing, the key point kworks you have to

imagine they're feel. some advocates call vitamin d a miracle vitamin. we'll look at new research and what it means for your bone health. that's next on "cbs this morning."

in our morning rounds, two important studies about bone health. one looks at vitamin d and the other looks an bone scans. some 9 million have osteobrother sis and others are affected. let's start with that old vitamin d. >> vitamin d is just the new black. it's in the news every single day for something, but today this study looked specifically

at whether very high dose of vitamin d supplements could prevent osteoporosis, one in particular, bone turnover or bone destruction. what they found is vitamin d supplements taken alone didn't help at auchlt taken with calcium helped and calcium alone helped but taken alone it does not strengthen the bones. >> is vitamin d the new miracle vitamin? >> it's hard to argue that because it's been linked to everything else, but in this context, it's not the only answer. along with calcium it can help our bones. >> where do you get in natural foods. >> it's found in fortified milk, eggs, fish, everywhere. calcium too. in my practice, i recommend women take a supplement because in reality we don't always get all we need from our diet.

we should, but days happen when we just don't. >> yeah. you describe it as a new black and black goes with everything. can there be too much of a good thing taking vitamin d? >> yes, there absolutely can. very high dose vitamin d are recommended against. and calcium, too, has been linked to an increase in heart attacks. you have to go over with your doctor about what your specific needs are. >> is there something we should be taking every day? should we be taking it every day? sniet really depends on the individual. i can't say yes or no. i personally take a vitamin d and calcium every day and a fish oil, but it depends on the person. if you eat very well you absolutely don't need a supplement. nobody needs a supplement if you're eating well. >> okay. dr. holly phillips, you're supposed to tell us about the frequency of bone scans.

>> you don't need to take scans as frequently as you thought. most are having them between two and four years. less is more. before you go for your routine, make sure you really need it. >> thank you. parents are getting new advice this morning. it could be okay to argue in front of your kids but certain kind of arguing. that's ahead. tomorrow, a big day. former first lady laura bush will be here. she'll tell us about life after washington along with women frk education and women's rights. that's tomorrow on "cbs this morning." >> announcer: cbs "morning rounds" sponsored by coffee-mate. coffee's perfect mate. ♪ [ male announcer ] for those who willingly take on the day.

welcome back to "cbs this morning." coming up in this half hour, he's the king of the jungle at the columbus zoo. you've seen jack hanna on tv for years. now he's mark 30g years on the job. you'll learn the surprising reason why he took on this amazing life and why he might have saved the zoo. he'll tell about the committee rise in his new film. that's ahead. >> i love him. right now it's time to show you this morning's headlines from around the globe. "the new york times" looking at 24 men and women receiving macarthur foundation genius awarding today. they're being recognized with a grant of $625,000 each. among the recipients, dancer and choreographer, kyle abraham, fiction writer and.

>> "the "sacramento bee"" jerry browns signs. >> "the moscow times" says anti-gay call on authorities to ban elton john concert. he wants to do a concert there to support gays. >> rolling stone, bieber's got talent. why do we care. blah, blah, blah, blah. >> hello, miss pot. my name is miss kettle. >> maybe we can make this a miley-free zone. >> we know people. >> i was not surprised it was coming. >> because we all know each other well and it's disgusting.

>> which you should do with your kids probably too. >> yes. "usa today" says jeff daniels started filming the sequel to "dumb and dumber." he tweeted a selfy with jim carrey. look at those two. he tweeted, we're back. >> "daily mail" reports a new born circuits to the wave. researchers say it's a natural biological reaction. >> it is a good smell. baby smell. when it comes to arguing with your sense, conventional wisdom says never, ever, ever do it in front of your kids but a new article in the watt streel journalist says it may help people later in life. good morning do you both. andrea, we're going to start with you because this goes against everything that most of

us have been told. how do arguments help? >> basically every person is going to have disagreements in their life, and what child psychologists i talked to said is that, you know, it's better to be able to model constructive conflict. that's a real gift you can take to your kids. >> isn't it hard to expect rational behavior in an irrational moment. sometimes you're so amped up, it's hard to be rational. >> absolutely. they say because it's so difficult you want to keep it behind closed doors. but the key is really -- okay, if you're going to argue, how can you do it in a healthy way that does sort of give these skills but doesn't traumatize them because there's our research that says toxic arguments can be very damaging and lead to anxiety, depression, and behavior problems. >> in fact, doctor, the research is very clear about that. there's effects on children's

brains, even infants. you can see changes in their brain. >> even while they're sleeping. >> yes. >> so the thing that's really important is that high conflict arguments are bad for kids. you don't want your kids to see you're not on a united front. even kids are easy. moms easy, i'm going to ask that. dad's hard. they don't want that. they want parents to be bonded. the problem with fighting constructively is it can get hot very quickly so some of the expert suggested a five-minute rule or if you get to the five on a ten scale, that's bad. i have to tell you, when i fought wi my -- when i still fight with my wife, i don't know when i'm at five. >> maybe you're at five and she's at seven. >> it's a bad idea, especially when there's an audience. the other thing you have to know is if your kids are there, very

often if there's boys in the room, it escalates and that's bad for them and you. >> the other thing i like about your piece, andrea, it's not good to fight in front of your kid bus if you can have a healthy disagreement with a positive outcome that that is a foundation for life and i've seen this in my kids' school, conflict among kids. that is undervalued. >> the thing is i talked to several parents that because of the way their own parents fought or didn't fight, some who never fought at all, they felt twlal ill-equipped and found them very conflict aversed and not been able to handle conflicts so they vowed to do things differently with their children, and that means try to fight in a healthy way. >> i think the teachable moment might be that if parents know it's getting too uncomfortable, either parent can call for a time-out. and that's a good thought. we'll discuss this later or get back to it.

the other thing is what is the reaction your kid has. if he starts to cry, looks scared, more irritable or seems to be really becoming anxious, that's the signal, the red flag, let's stop this discussion right now and we'll come back to it wchl'll tell you your decision afterward. >> it was interesting for me. obviously if your child is crying, that's a no-brainer, but other sorts of cues are a little bit more subtle. the kid freezes or doesn't move for a few minutes or thufrps overed on they try to assert themselves in the argument, try to mediate it or just disbehave themselves to try to divert the attention away. >> there's a fundamental point here, that it's important to be able to argue and differ over issues because there's always conflict in life among everyone. without insults and just -- >> to do it with respect. >> to do it with respect in a

genuine way. >> and to remember they're always listening. i was surprised when you said kids can hear you even when they're sleeping. kids like they're not listening and they're coloring but they're really paying attention that that's how this article came to be. i had a 4 1/2-year-old daughter and i was grabbling with this in my own marriage and my husband and i have tried to remove ourselves from -- we were arguing about something in the kitchen. it wasn't getting very heated but my daughter was playing with her dolls in another room and after it was all over, she said, daddy, when mommy said she didn't do something, she didn't do something. we looked at each other like, oh, my gosh, i didn't know she heard any of this. >> we'd love to have you back and do the flip side of this and the importance of showing affection toward one another in front of your children. the positive concern on this. thank you very much for being here. talking about fabulous, jack

hanna opened a pet shop soon after college but he always wanted to work at a zoo. that dream turned him into a star and now he's marking a milestone. chip reid shows us why he's more than just a familiar face on late-night tv. >> have you ever seen one of these before? >> no, i haven't. no, no, honest to god. >> you probably don't even know what this is. >> it's a new york city rat. >> no. >> with his wild-like antics with david over the last 24 years. >> it's like popcorn. i'll hold his head. ow. >> you may not know that hannah hanna is a world-renowned. >> people are going dom here and think you're in africa.

>> reporter: he came to columbus in 1978 out of desperation. his 2-year-old daughter had childhood leukemia. >> i didn't come here for the zhao. i came here because she had cancer. can you imagine? this is beyond luck. >> reporter: he decided to make columbus home and to dedicate himself to transforming the tiny run-down zoo into one of the best in the nation. >> you can see i love every minute of what i do and i try to instill that in employees here. f. f.u.n. everybody has fun. >> reporter: the zoo has grown from 80 acres to nearly 600, and number of visitors has soared from a few hundred thousand a year to 2.3 million. >> whoa. whoa. ooh, that gave me chills. >> the polar bear habitat

cost 4/million. to those animal activists who oppose locking them up, he said there's no better way to bring attention to the plight of the endangered species. >> unless all these folks you see standing here didn't have the opportunity to see the polar bear, why would they want to save the polar bear. look at the amaze mncht on their faces. kits, come here a minute. >> reporter: do you know who this is? >> jack hanna. >> reporter: jack hanna. you're exactly right. along the way they ask for autographs. >> that's what i love it it. he takes time to talk to everyone. he's not a superstar big shot. >> have you ever walked a

warthog? >> reporter: no. >> he has two tv shows and spends most of his time speaking and traveling, looking around the world. a simple philosophy that's worked for jack hanna for 35 years. chib reed, 35 years. >> we like him that and we like bill hader too. he's here in studio 57. he's coming back to the big screen this week. hello, bill hader. >> hi. >> are you coming to

when i first met bono, he walked into the oval office and

actually i thought it was a member of his own road crew. he wasn't really dressed right. actually i felt like the rock star on that occasion. >> nicely done, bono. that was day one, the clinton global initiative featured a surprise performance by bono. he stepped in when clinton had to leave the stage for his notes. he knows something about that. so do you, bill hader. this is something i hear about you. no pressure. hai haier you do a very decent charlie rose. >> yeah. i did it on your show. he has two speeds. when he starts the show, hi, everybody. welcome to the show. and then he goes to now what do you do. talk to me. very simple questions but they're like -- i watched my tirn view back and i'm kind of

"saturday night live." are you feeling a little ping about that or will you be watching? >> now i'll be watching. it's funny. it's seth myer's wedding in a couple of weeks. now i'm like a finance. what are you guys going to be doing this year. now i'm back to the way i was before i got the show. >> will you miss it? >> yeah, yeah, i will miss it. >> but you were ready. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. i was -- it was -- eight years is a long time. but i loved being on the show. the new people they have i've been watching all their stuff online. the new people are just fantastic. so i think it's going to be good. >> what are you going to miss the most? >> you know what? imitating charlie rose. no kristen wiig and i would call it friday night crazies, because you'd be up monday. basically you don't sleep all week and friday night during

rehearsal we would get really loopy and a lot of great stuff would come out of those. the character i did -- >> jim carville. >> we were just talking about it. that's my very first show. very first moment on the show. >> i heard you don't like to watch yourself. >> no. i'm hating this right now. >> why don't you -- i don't like watching myself whiechl don't you like watching yourself? i legal like when i watch myself, i feel like why does my face look like that and why do i sound like that and you don't want to like get in your head when you're -- you don't want to be performing and going, oh, my face is doing this thing again, you know. you just want to be out of your head. >> you don't want to be self conscio conscious. >> yeah, yeah, and i'm very self-conscious. >> you have a new movie coming out.

>> i'm anxious to ask a question. how do you -- >> when meatballs are thrown from the sky, what do you do? >> i knew it was coming. >> you stamped him. >> how do you know when it's time to go? >> this is the coolest thing ever. how do i know it's time to leave? leave "snl"? >> yeah. >> i don't know. >> stay it in your stefan voice, character. i love him. >> thanks. the guy who i based stuff on, i don't know his name, but he works at a coffee shop in chelsea, and i went in that coffee shop and he wasn't in there. i was like i wanted to go in there. its like my last week on "snl" wanted to say thanks.hey, i jus-
