republican marriage roby wants to include clinton why diplomatic requests for more security in libya were turned down by the state department. >> that was an important piece and it happened while secretary clinton was secretary of state so we have to have her answer that question. >> reporter: clointon lost her patience at the last hearing. >> what point does this make at this point? >> reporter: adam schiff says they may make another different approach than a month ago. >> i think the claims dispelled by their own members this is all about secretary clinton, in than effort to damage her. i think initially they will keep a focus on ben gasseghazbenghaz. >> reporter: they said it is to damage the democrat front-runner. they wanted to hold two

hearings. one about benghazi and another about her use of a private e-mail account while secretary of state. something the committee uncovered when they asked the state department with her e-mails. they say her e-mails have nothing to do with the stated purpose to investigate the benghazi attacks that left four americans dead. they say this is not hillary clinton, but democrats say this is the first public hearing you've held with anyone in nine months. >> of course, it's been a while. but the state department has been stonewalling. they are the ones who have been dragging their feet. >> reporter: clinton has not had a public event since the weekend as they prepares for this hearing that could go eight hours or longer. and she knows, norah, even one unfortunate comment will be played in republican ads between now and election day. >> thank you so much, nancy. you can watch gavel-to-gavel coverage today on cbsn. the democratic presidential race folks on hillary clinton

and bernie sanders. joe biden ended months of speculation saying he will not run. a poll shows the latest on the democratic race in iowa, the home of the first in the nation's caucus. the bloomberg poll shows clinton leading sanders 48% to 41%. major garrett is at the white house where joe biden made his announcement. >> reporter: the scene was historic. for the first time ever president obama attended an event in the rose garden and said nothing. the stage was joe biden's, one he will never command again. joe biden said some things about the presidential campaign. he will now watch on the sidelines. among them democrats running to succeed this president, owe him a lot. >> i believe we are out of time. the time necessary to mount a winning campaign for the nomination. >> reporter: biden has seriously pondered a presidential race since august. in september, he appeared to have momentum in a draft biden effort. >> it's about your dignity. >> reporter: aired two tv commercials just in case.

>> you never quit on america! and you deserve a president who will never quit on you! >> reporter: but biden hesitated for weeks. the indecision became a public spectacle. >> have you made your decision equity? >> reporter: biden potential rival hillary clinton turned in a strong performance in this month's first democratic debate and biden's poll numbers slid forcing him to make a decision. biden did not endorse clinton and said this about her half-joking republican mates who are her enemies. >> they are our opposition and not our enemies. for the sake of the country, we have to work together. >> reporter: in a statement biden call-- clinton said the following about joe biden. campaigning in iowa. gop front-runner donald trump

said biden got it right. >> biden is not running. and -- and i think he did the smart thing, because, frankly, i don't know that he would of won. he wouldn't have gotten the nomination. i don't think he probably would have. and, frankly, i really want to run against hillary. i really do. >> reporter: that was always the fear among biden loyalists that his third bid for the white house could fail and that might tarnish his time at the white house and his entire political career. now biden returns to familiar assignments for this president, keeping an eye on ukraine and iraq and seeing if he can cut a deal or two with republicans. a key group in congress says it will back paul ryan to be the speaker of the house. it now appears ryan will have enough votes to be elected next week. the former vice presidential candidate will only take the job if the factions back him and the freedom caucus said support last night but some of the members

are not remember to accept proo ryan's preconditions for conserving. a big shift in iowa today. ben karcarson now leads the gop field there in iowa and according to a quinnipiac university poll out this morning. carson has 28% and trump has 20%. the same poll showed donald trump with a six-point lead last month. "face the nation" host and political director john dickerson is here this morning. we want to talk about biden but first about benghazi and hillary clinton today and what is to be expected and what are the stakes for her? >> imagine a day of dental surgery where you have to keep smiling, that is her task. i think to what to watch for is one moment nancy mentioned which is a full day of testimony and four rounds of questioning. she has to basically become and measured throughout so there is not a moment that is going to lead the evening news that will show her losing her cool. she need the opposite. this is her last big obstacle in

the month of october. >> what was the heart of joe biden's decision not to run? >> i think somebody in june said this is going to the bitter end and the way he makes the decisions. the heart of it was the emotional reaction to his son's dead and i think the very heart he couldn't pull it off. hillary clinton is a formidable candidate and to raise the money in the thick of a campaign is too difficult for him to do. >> on tuesday he met are his political advisers and said can we raise the money in time? my understanding there was a question about whether they could put the fundamentals in place. >> they could actually do it, right. whether you could do the nuts and bolts of running. even if they could do it, they knew it was going to be really hard. it's very hard to build a campaign while you're running a campaign. campaigns that have tried to do have mostly failed in the past. >> he said yesterday he simply ran out of time but a lot of people wondering is that the real story? does his decision to drop out give hillary clinton a clear path to the nomination, you think? >> it would look like it.

she has endorsements within the party and doing well in the polls and has lots of money. so this would have been a challenge to her candidacy, but now with just burny sanders, she has got a lot of support in the future states. tough in new hampshire. close in iowa. but then if you run down the rest of the states in the democratic contest she is doing very well. >> one thing about joe biden as he thinks about what he is going to do he is obsessed and committed to finding a cure for cancer. >> that's right. that was going to be the mission for the rest of his life. he is now putting new mission in front of him. for a candidate, for a person who has been in politics in washington since 1970 and been committed to his assent, this might be a new crusade for him. >> i was asking the same question in iowa. >> ben carson trumping donald trump? >> this is amazing. carson is now on top and means perhaps a conflict between the two of them. also ted cruz very far behind, he is the one who thought he would surprise everybody through iowa. he is even behind rubio there.

ben carson is the headline but what happened to ted cruz in iowa? >> john dickerson, lots to think about and thank you very much. he will be the moderator for the democratic presidential debate next month november 14th on cbs. wikileaks posted information apparently by a hark claiming to be a high school student. the documents include an unfinished clearance application which revealed his wife's social security number. a memo to president obama suggesting he tone down his rhetoric on iran. the memo came before brennan joined the administration. so far the fbi does not see any breach of classified information. secretary of state john kerry met with israeli prime minister benefitiinge minute ne in berlin and called for the

before torrez started shooting at the familiar's vehicle. 4-year-old lily was the only one shot. she was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance but did not survive. >> the officers that were on scene, it was traumatic for them. i mean, they literally saw a 4-year-old little girl with a severe gunshot wound which she died from. >> reporter: authorities had offered a 36,000 dollar reward for information leading to an arrest. and it was a tip that led police to torres on wednesday. >> i saw them talking to this guy with a red baseball cap. all of the police got around and started talking to him. >> reporter: a family member thanked the public for their support on a memorial website page set up in lily's honors. our local cbs station says the father memorialized his daughter on social media light she was the light of my life. my little girl showed me how to truly love. police say that an anonymous caller actually led to the arrest that was made yesterday

hillary clinton gives long awaited testimony this morning to a special house committee. she will answer questions about the 2012 benghazi attack that killed four americans. committee members are also likely to ask her about her private e-mail server. >> we first learned about that server when the committee asked for clinton's state department e-mails. republicans, though, made tread more softly this morning than they did the last time clinton testified about benghazi almost three years ago. the committee's critics and even a couple of republicans now say this investigation is mainly political. you can watch gavel-to-gavel coverage of this morning's benghazi hearing live on our digital network cbsn. some say the presidential race is a little more settled. more than 30 years after he first ran for president, joe biden said he will not seek the 2016 democratic nomination. it ends months of uncertainty. biden said all along his biggest concern whether and his family were emotionally ready after the death of his son beau in may. at the white house on wednesday,

biden said he will keep fighting for what he believes in. >> i believe we have to end the divisive partisan politics that is ripping this country apart and i think we can. it's mean-spirited. it's petty and it's gone on for much too long. i am absolutely certain we are fully capable of accomplishing extraordinary things. we can do this. and when we do, america won't just win the future, we will own the finish line. >> major garrett was at the white house for the vice president's announcement. good morning, major. it's clear the vice president had the passion but did he have a pathway to victory? >> reporter: i really didn't. many here at the white house never thought joe biden would run for president, even those who thought he might, thought he would have announced in early october at the very latest. when he didn't, many here in the white house believed it was just a matter of time before joe biden made that announcement that he wouldn't seek the

presidency. i will tell you, there was growing restlessness here within the west wing about the prolonged nature of joe biden's deliberations and that sort of came to a head earlier this week when the white house was forced to deal with questions about what did the vice president tell president obama right before the osama bin laden raid and how much power definite in the white house and did he have veto power over cabinet picks and all of those sorts of things put the white house in an awkward position and now it's relieved to be out of that. >> i was curious to see what the inner circle how they felt about the process and you touched on that. we just saw a picture that was just released showing president obama and joe biden working on the speech. were you surprised to see president obama at his side when he came out yesterday? >> not at all. these two have been a tandem from the very beginning. one of the reasons president obama picked joe biden as his running mate he believed he had great political instincts and didn't believe he was that hyperambitious about seeking the presidency and one of the reasons joe biden is vice

president because president obama didn't want a democratic vice president he always had to worry about being a potential successor. joe biden did this a lot of serious thought but in the end he knew the calendar and the pathway to victory argued against it. >> what do you think was at the heart of some of the remarks that some took as a veiled reference to hillary clinton and how she is running her campaign? >> i think what joe biden wanted to do, because had he a stage he knew he would never have again say something on behalf of the president's agenda and the accomplishments he and president obama have put before the nation. he knows bernie sanders and hillary clinton are moving away from that saying this president hasn't been aggressive enough and joe biden point was he has been and democrats ought to be more grateful. >> thank you. youtube this morning is betting people will pay to play its video and music ad-free. youtube red costs $9.99 a month and you can save videos to watch offline and gives access to a

the music that people spend more time listening to music on youtube than on spotify or pandora or anything else. >> that surprises me. >> a competitor to bat. once you get rid of the ads some might see it a spokesive replacement and just about the same price and youtube videos strolling in the background while you do other stuff. >> hasn't this always been the conundrum for youtube? one of the most valuable websites out there and has a young demographic and millions of videos. my kids know youtube. they watch youtube. they don't watch original television. they watch everything on youtube. and, yet, they have not found a way to monetize. >> they can't pay the youtube stars and worried some of the youtube stars leaving. their last big effort to increase the quality and was to go with traditional tv players and pull them on to youtube and offer them lots of money. that didn't work. this is a priivot. they are saying let's put the stars behind the pay wall and

"wall street journal" says some companies are trying to force people to save more. only on "cbs this morning," the world's largest investment firm blackrock is out with a new survey that reveals how average investors are holding too much cash and short changing their future. rob kapito, good morning. >> is that trillion with a "t"? >> it's a big responsibility. >> tell us what you found out about cash. >> well, this is a very interesting survey, because we found that people around the globe, this is 31,000 people around the globe in the survey, are more optimistic about their financial future and they actually know what they need to do, but they are not doing anything about it.

and so we see that because people are sitting more in cash than ever before. and cash is not going to get you where you need to get to in retirement. >> so they are being conservative even thorough optimistic about the future. why? >> well, for different groups. some have gone through the financial crisis and they saw what can happen and some of them saw their homes decline 50%, some saw their assets decline 50%. they remember every single time they lost money. the millennials didn't have a lot of assets and are investing and they are spending most of the time on their computer is about financial advice and financial information. they are actually investing in the future. and a lot of people are also nervous and staying in cash because it's a security blanket. and they are very nervous about a lot of the headlines and they just don't want to be in that position again.

>> well, we know where it is and we know how much we got, that is why there is something very comfort baggage that when you have cash. you're saying not a smart thing to do? >> or we need it right away and we have it. >> go under the mattress and pull it out, rob. >> what did you learn about men and women? >> it's very complicated because people know they are going to live longer. when did living longer become a problem? instead of spending ten years in retirement, you're going to spend 14 to 18 and they haven't saved enough. so what is interesting about savings is there is a difference between men and women. men are actually starting to save. women are not saving as much as men and the reason for that is because they control the household financials. they would rather spend today on their children than put away for their own retirement. >> i wouldn't say -- i honestly wouldn't say it's a choice. i mean, of course, you're going to spend on your children. honestly. it's like am i going to get my kids new shoes and new backpack for school or save money?

i'm going to buy my kid the money because they knee shoes for school. >> but you need to save for retirement because you're living much longer. maybe if you take care of your kids as well they will allow you to move back in with them because you're going to need to move back in with them. >> you sound like my mother. she used to say that all the time! >> the average person claims that they need 45,000 dollars of income for retirement. and if you take their assets today and what it's generating because they have so much in cash, they are only generating 9,000. there is a 36,000 dollar gap and you cannot make up that gap by staying in cash. >> where should we invest? >> without respect to stocks or particular things, give us the rules that you think work in terms of what you do. >> so everyone's risk profile is different. your age is different. but, in general, most people in the early stages of their life should be 65% in equities and

35% in bonds and very little in cash. over your lifetime, that equity percentage declines and the bond percentage increases. today, the average household has 65% to 70% cash. you can't invest for the future in the future and what we are trying to create awareness about, it's not timing the market. it's time in the market. so people need to get invested today, especially the millennials. the millennials are actually doing this. they are spending time. they realize they need to use technology, but they also realize they need advice and they are actually going and getting advice and they are teaching the next generations how to do this. >> rob kapito, always good advice from you. thank you for joining us in the studio. this morning we continue our high school honor roll series celebrating super bowl number 50. retired running back and recent

>> 235 pounds, fullback and linebacker runs 4.5, 40. >> i was the number one fullback in the country and i was the number two linebacker. i was a better linebacker than i was a running back. my high school career was, you know, a lot of ups and downs. we had some good players, but we weren't able to ever accomplish the ultimate goal, you know, in terms of winning it all. >> reporter: after 13 seasons in the nfl, bettis' hall of fame football career ended right back where it started. >> three-yard touchdown run by the bus! and it's on to detroit for super bowl xl! >> you're going home! >> reporter: with his hometown of motown watching, bettis finally won that elusive title. >> i played this game to win a championship. i'm a champion. and i think the bus is the last stop is here in detroit. >> reporter: with his golden football in hand, the bus

bryant gumbel on his last day of cbs' "the early show." this morning he is getting ready to host a different kind of live event for the first time on american television. doctors will perform live brain surgery. the patient volunteered after suffering years of tremors. they are related to early onset parkinson's disease. >> putting transit in the brain. pretty scary stuff. walk with a cane. >> bryant will guide viewers through the two-hour surgery on sunday. pleased to have you here. >> nice to see that old video? >> yeah. it looked like i was smuggling nuts in my cheeks! >> a mutual friends of ours who represents him said to me, i'm constantly trying to get bryant to come back to television because everybody wants him to

do one thing or another but this is what he said is he doing. >> charlie scolded me the last time i was on saying you have to do more stuff. this is a live project and live television which i enjoy and gives me and viewers an opportunity to learn. we touting this as not just live brain surgery but also celebration of the brain which remains one of the great mysteries of the universe. >> live surgery brain, is that a good idea? live cameras? i'm a little worried about this. bryant, everybody knows they are on camera. >> right. let me dismiss some of your fears. the surgery has been done on 80,000 people and it's elective surgery. yes, every surgery has if you're thinking we are doing this live because the hook is will the patient live or die, you're going to be sadly disappoint. >> the doctor is not playing one. >> right. we are talking about a surgical team of eight people. two neurosurgeons and another guy who is going to do the mapping. another neurosurgeon will dot mapping so they will be taking

turns. we won't necessarily be speaking with the surgeon who is doing something delicate. we are respecting their views. every time they want us out of the way, we are out of the way. >> the patient will be awake? >> the patient has to be awake. >> to judge whether it's working or not. >> right. they are sinking these elerod e electrodes in. >> deep brain simulation is what we try to do every morning on the show. >> i watch. >> you watch our show? >> i watch your show. >> oh. >> by the way, i had a conversation with matt. >> matt who? >> matt lauer. >> i told matt i would be here this morning. he said, why? i explained. he said, oh, cool. >> did you tell him you're watching our show this morning? >> he knows that. he knows that. >> matt is a very smart guy. >> he is, indeed. >> let me just go back to this estimation too. surgery will last for two hours.

>> the surgery will actually last about six hours. we will have the two hours that we think the viewers will most learn from. >> is this a one. time only event? >> this is a onetime only event. it's going to be broadcast live in the united states. it's going to 117 countries and 45 different languages. so what i think in addition to celebration of the brain we are hoping to demystify the surgery because the surgery has great potential for people who not only sump from parkin son's. if they can figure out which is faulty they have the opportunity to address a lot of problems. >> it's fating. will it be graphic? >> no. >> we won't see blood? >> is there no blood involved. another thing. if you're tuning in for a gore fest, this is not the place for you. >> i want the patient to live. i'm fascinated by this but this is scary.

>> several incisions about the size of a nickel so not talking blood here. the mystery in this is will it work? will we see the tremors disappear? >> what you hope is people understand the possibilities so that there will be much more funding for research and everything else. >> exactly right. in greg grindley's case he was afraid of this surgery. when you think they are fooling with your brain you figure other things i'd rather do but it has the great potential for other people. >> for patients like greg grindley what has been the results? >> hard to tell because the range of people suffer and the extent to which they suffer you can judge it subjectively. it has great success and only government-approved i think since 2002 but it's had great success. >> a what is the most dramatic change you've seen in morning television? i know you have experienced it and watched it. >> charlie, i've told you this. i think every generation that

does morning television thinks theirs is better than the wone that followed an there is truth so that and i take exception of that. i like your slogan. >> do you miss morning tv? >> i'm sorry. what? >> do you miss morning tv for yourself? >> i think rather be like tracey and have fecal matter flowing than do that. >> we are tight on bryant. we have to go. would you like to say happy birthday to chris lake? it's his birthday. i bet he gives us extra time for that! >> here is one for you. i would like to say happy birthday to my ex-intern chris lake. how about that? >> now we know where he learns everything. >> brain surgery live airs sunday on the national geographic channel. you're watching "cbs this morning."
