morning." the third republican presidential debate sparked new fireworks from the top ten gop candidates. the two men at center stage, donald trump and ben carson were often overshadowed by their rivals marco rubeio and carly fiorina did most of the test. >> the candidates blasted the moderators saying they did a disservice to our network and our candidates and the voters. major garrett is in boulder, colorado and covered the debate last night. >> reporter: reince priebus said nbc ought to be ashamed. they tacked tax reform and the national debt but overall on the old saying applies. there was more heat than might. >> i told you! >> i got a question! >> reporter: it was hard to focus through the noise. but some moments of this debate

broke through. >> senator paul. >> you're not interested in an answer. >> john? >> answer from senator paul. >> reporter: like this exchange between former political allies jeb bush and marco rubio over votes that rubio has missed while campaigning. >> i mean, literally, the senate, what is it? like a french workweek? you get three days you have to show up? you can campaign or just resign and let somebody else make the job. >> reporter: other misu.s. senators are run for president. >> the only reason you're doing it now is because we are running for the same position. >> reporter: bentrump and carson took fire from cassic for proposals he called unrealistic. >> you just don't makemi proses like this. why don't we give a chicken in every pot while coming up with this fantasy tax schemes? >> i was such a nice guy. he said i'm never going to attack. then his poll numbers tanked. that is why he's on the end. and he got nasty. >> reporter: former

questions. but it just shows that there is such a big difference. >> reporter: the post-debate consusus bush andcon concnbc said people who want to be president of the united states should be able to answer tough questions. >> thanks major. florida senator marco rubio is with us from colorado. senator, good morning. >> good morning. >> reporter: what do you think you achieved last night? some are saying this may have been a moment for you. >> well, you covered this long enough to know. it's one debate and many and another one in 10 to 14 days i think. we are looking forward to that. every one of these is an opportunity oftentimes to introduce ourselves to people that have never heard about us or know very little why we are running for president. >> senator were you surprised that jeb bush attacked your attendance pressure and one of your local papers is raising it as an issue.

is it a fair question? >> look. my campaign is not about attacking nibble. my campaign is who i am and what is important for our country and the future of america and what i'm going to continue to focus on and it isn't going change my feelings toward jeb or anyone else in the race. >> did you make that attack toward jeb bush? he was one of your mentors. >> i said that on the debate stage. i think what we should do is every candidate should run on who they are and what they stand to and let the republican voters across this country decide who the nominee should be. if there policy differences between us, we should discuss those differences. but i've never personally attacked anybody in this race and i'm not going to start now. >> well, well, you called hillary clinton a liar senator. you called hillary clinton a liar. >> well, no. i said hillary clinton lied about benghazi. there is no doubt about that charlie. there are e-mails in which she was talking to her family and she was telling them that there was an attack on that consulate

that was due to a terrorist attack by al qaeda elements and then she was going around the country talking to the families of the victims and to the american people and saying no, no. this is because of some video that someone produced. >> senator, you know -- you know that -- >> she absolutely lied about it. >> the cia was changing its own assessment of what happened there during that time zone. >> that's not -- that's not accurate. it was clear from the very early moments after that attack that it was not a spontaneous uprising. it was a planned attack. well orchestrated by people that brought armaments to that attack you would never see as part of a spontaneous up rising. what was very clear from the very early moments of that attack, she knew that it was a terrorist attack as she shared by e-mail with various people. and yet she continued to perpetuate the lie. >> if you're calling a liar by saying she perpetuated a lie, why do you think she did that? what was her motive? >> it's very clear why. because they were in the middle of a 2012 re-election in which president obama made the claim that al qaeda was being defeated and -- >> you were saying that hillary

clinton lied -- you were saying senator, that hillary clinton lied because she wanted to help barack obama in his re-election campaign? that's a serious charge. >> yes. is that -- well, it's the truth. i mean, that is not only why she did it but why everyone in the administration did it. the nair testify of their campaign at the time charlie, was that al qaeda was on the run and has been defeated. that was nair narrative and this countered that narrative. they didn't want that out there they didn't tell the truth of what truly happened and the families of those victims deserve better. >> do you deny the cia was giving different information as they assessed it and providing different information to the leaders of our government? that was part of the reason -- >> without >> david petraeus -- >> i don't want to violate anything confidential that is classified but i'll tell you this. it was clear from the early moments after that attack that everyone on the ground and everyone closest to that attack knew, almost instantly, that this was an organized effort not part of a spontaneous up rising and there was never, ever

any evidence that had anything to do with a video that was produced by some guy out in california. and for them to further that narrative and continue to do so well after it had become clear that that wasn't the case it was unacceptable. the american people deserve better. and the families of those victims of benghazi deserve better. >> at one point, senator, i want to get back to the debates before you go. it appeared that the candidates seemed to be debating the moderators more than 50e67 other. jeb bush said he did not think it was a fair debate. what is your assessment of the debate last night? >> i was disappointed because i thought cnbc is a station they go into deep conversations on a daily basis about economics and i thought last night was a night we are going talk about what are your plans to reduce the debt and what role the fed should be in our economy and major economic issues and instead of taking up those issues and pressing the candidates on the other specifics we had other questions you had asked. i thought it was a wasted opportunity and made it unfair

and not just to the candidates but the american people. these were issues i was fired up and ready to talk about. this is the reason i run for president these issues i take very seriously and spend a lot of time on and i know the other candidates do too and we wasted an opportunity last night to do that because you have to respond to questions such as some of those posed last night about ben carson and some website or whether donald trump has moral authority. you know? wasted opportunity and what i thought was the perfect forum to go into deep detail about specific and pressing economic policy issues before america. >> all right senator rubio, we thank you for your time this morning. >> thank you. thanks. "face the nation" moderator and cbs news political director john dickerson is with us at the table. good morning. >> good morning. >> you wrote a column saying marco rubio won. >> i think he did for this reason. a candidate wants to grab a moment and they want to grab it when they are on the rise. he was clearly on the rise and a lot of people were talking about him as a kind of the head of that alternative lane. there are two lanes. one lane is trump/carson the

other is the rest of the other candidates. and he grabbed his moment and for him, it was really that exchange with jeb bush. it was not only a moment where he vested a competitor but for a young senator who has no executive experience it was a moment for voters he kind of showed he had some strengths and that is really good for a candidate. >> they say jeb bush needed a good night last night and they say this morning he didn't have it. >> yeah. he didn't have the kind of moment that marco rubio had. so he's -- it's going to be tough for him because there were calls for him to, you know step it up from his funders and those calls are going to continue. >> so marco rubio is now leading the establishment as the establishment candidate. >> yes. although he would hate that term because what rubio has and what they have always said about him he can take some from the tea party and some from the establishment that he works in both groups. but in the sense that he is a politician and so he is outside of the nonpolitician group, he's poised to do best in that. >> any difference between carson and trump in terms of where that

race between the two of them is? >> oh, i think it's still neck and neck between the two. one of the things that surprised me last night is the trump stayed away from him. >> everyone was predicting that trump was going to attack him. >> including me yesterday. i hope no one remembers that! because that -- also because he had done it beforehand. you know? he had gone after carson just two days before and he was clearly not in that mode last night. >> iryouwere you taking notes how to the on to run a debate? you're doing the next presidential debate. >> as somebody doing the next debate i wouldn't be the one to have any opinion on that. bull's-eye on my head. >> nicely done. >> was it a teachable moment? >> i take my teachable moments from this table, charlie. i get my lessons from you. >> thank you, john. john will be the moderator at next month's cbs news democratic presidential debate. you can watch it november 14th at 9:00 p.m. 8:00 central here

guidelines is that they are confusing to the very women that should benefit from mammography. >> reporter: they publicly aired their concerns in this morning's "the new york times," saying we were happy to support the cancer society. now we no longer wish to be involved. the new recommendations suggests women with an average risk start yearly mammograms at age 45 instead of 40. at 55 they can switch to every two years. but the acs adds women can start screening at age 40 if they wish. >> our goal is to empower people to make that informed decision. >> reporter: dr. kevin offenger chaired the panel that issued the new guidelines. >> as a woman ages the best tissue gets more dense and makes it easier to read. >> i've screened women in their 40s and these guidelines are set back to help the health of these women's.

>> cnbc respondsed with one sentence. >> when it says rubio should resign and note rip us off and floridians sent to you washington to do a job when you act like you hate your job, do you? >> yeah. let me say, i read that editorial today with ao amusement. in 2015 john kerry ran for president and missing 60% of his votes and sun sentinel endorsed him. so this is another example of the double standard that exists in this country between the mainstream media and the conservative group. >> when you look at him, do you see someone with a moral authority to unite the country? >> you know, few questions i've got. the last one i need is to give him some more time. i love donald trump. he is a good man. i'm wearing a trump tie tonight. get over that one, okay?

>> such a nasty question. >> you have been very critical of mark zuckerberg of facebook who wants to increase the number of dr. >> i was not at all critical of him. i am all in favor of keeping these talented people here so they can go to work in silicon valley. >> you're in favor of increasing this? >> i'm not at all criticizing him. >> where did i read this? >> i don't know. you people write this stuff. i don't know. everybody said it was going to be three hours, three and a half including them. and in about two minutes i renegotiated it down to two hours so we can get the hell out of here. not bad. not bad. >> just for the record the debate was always going to be two hours. senator rubio? >> that's not right! that is absolutely not right! you know that that is not right. >> nobody watching at home believes that any of the moderators has any intention of voting in a republican primary. >> i just want to thank all of my colleagues here for being civil, not falling for the traps. >> we have 19 trillion dollars in debt.

we have people out of work. we have isis and al qaeda attacking us. and we are talking about fantasy football? can we stop? >> you look at the question. donald trump are you a comic book villain? ben carson can you do math? john kasich will you insult two people over here? marco rubio, why don't you resign. jeb bush why have your numbers fallen? how about talking about the substantive issues people care about? >> republican strategist and cbs news contributor watched the group. frank lund. their dial test reacted to what the candidates said. participants respond second by second and phrase by phrase and twist ago green dial. the green line represents moderates and the red line is the conservative members in the group. the higher the line the more favorable the reaction. frank luntz is with us now.

let me begin with senator cruz. how well did that do? >> it did the best of anything that i have tested since i started doing debate testing in 1996. it got up to a 97 and 98 out of a hundred. to put it in perspective, 26 people in our fox news group and 24 out of the 26 was giving him a perfect 100. now he goes and he lists all of the difference questions. i want to point out he never looks down at his notes. he never has to refer to any -- any text. he remembers every single question that every reporter asked and people were stunned by that capability! but they reacted even more favorably to the fact he said enough is enough. that this is -- these are biased questions. one of the biggest complaint is the questions went too long. in several circumstances, the questions were even longer than the responses that the candidates were allowed. >> clearly, the candidates mixed it up with the moderators quite a bit last night. we saw some vintage chris

christie telling it like it is. let's take a look -- let's take a look at that moment frank, and then get back to you about what that showed on the dial test. >> well, there is no evidence that they can fix anything in washington, d.c. >> what should we do? >> what we should do is be investing in all types of energy, john. all types of energy. >> in government? >> no john. john, do you want me to answer or do you want to answer? because -- because i got to tell you truth. even in new jersey what you're doing is called rude. >> frank, the lines went up there too. >> yes. whoever thought that new jersey would be the -- the epitome of how people should behave but chris christie had a great night last night, because he played on the intensity of conservative voters of republican voters who and had enough of the democrats. and christie's strategy wasn't to focus on attacking the other candidates on stage. it was to focus on challenging

hillary clinton and bernie sanders and did he it very successfully by being to the point, by being blunt and, frankly, by being chris christie. >> the reviews are almost universal this morning that senator marco rubio had an excellent night. let's play this clip where he talks about democrats, the mainstream media, and hillary clinton. >> now, the democrats have the mainstream media. i'll tell you why. last week, hillary clinton went before a committee, she admitted she had sent e-mails to her family saying hey this attack in benghazi was caused by al qaeda-like elements. she spent over a week telling the families of those victims and the american people that it was because of a avoid. yet the mainstream media is saying it was the greatest week in hillary clinton's campaign the week she got exposed as a liar. the week she got simpofedexposed as a liar. >> rubio has the perfect formation in a debate.

you begin the first sentence with what everybody wants to hear. then you tell them what they need to know. then you close with what everybody wants to hear. the key is the first 20 words and the last 20 words. and nobody is a better debater, including ted cruz no one is a better debater than marco rubio because it's plain speaking and rehearsed. he took on some of the toughest challenges and very tough questions but he always had a solid beginning and a solid end and that is why voters liked him. >> what did your group say about the exchange between marco rubio and jeb bush? >> big mistake for jeb bush. i don't understand why the candidate with one of the highest unfavor ability ratings would go after the candidate with one of the highest favor ability ratings. they thought jeb bush was doing the job of the moderators and thought it was an unfair attack and sounded like the democrats have been invited into the debate and rubio had an answer for him and challenged him. never try to kill the king. never try to go after the king unless you can kill him. jeb bush is weaker today bauls

of it and i've heard last night based on responses i was getting, personal responses that there is some big bush fund-raisers who are now looking to move over to rubio. >> frank luntz, thank you. >> thank you. china could be set this morning for a demographic boom. the world's most populous country is dumping its longstanding one child policy. the decision by the ruling communist party opens the door for all chinese family to have two children. barry petersen spent more than a decade covering cbs news and now with us from london. good morning. >> what china has done officially today is approve a policy that's been sort of allowing for quite sometime and like the one child policy it's driven by demographics. the one-child policy was implemented in 1980 to slow china's population growth. it was 969 million that year. it is more than 1.3 billion today. there were exceptions.

families in rural areas could have more children because they needed children as workers on their farms. in 1984 the chinese made a quiet change saying that if a husband and wife are both from a one-child family, they can have two children because that just replaces, not increases, the population. today's move makes that stance official. it's not been a popular policy in china where untold millions had forced abortions for getting pregnant with a second child. the decision today means this controversial policy is officially ended because it's done the child. china's long-term population growth has been stemmed. gayle? >> thank you very much barry petersen. jonathan franzen is a best selling author will be here in the studio 57 and take us inside his new novel called "purity." plus
