back trump while turning her back on former ally ted cruz. >> cruz needed palin in 2012 when he ran for the senate and would have loved to have her support now. trump has always been bigger than palin as a political nonconformist and reality tv star and now the resilient gop front-runner. >> no more pussy-footing around! >> reporter: sarah palin's endorsement brings energy to trump's campaign in iowa and deprives his closest rival ted cruz. palin is not the political force she once was. in part the tea party movement she helped inspired has matured and moved on. at trump's side she proved capable of amplifying some familiar themes. >> are you ready for a commander

in chief who will let our warriors do their job and kick is sis as? >> nor claims he is a phony conservative. >> well, trump and his -- uh, his trumpers are not conservative enough. my goodness gracious. what the heck would the establishment know about conservatism. >> reporter: palin endorsed trump for the senate in 2012. before last night events he took the blow in stride. >> sarah palin is fantastic. without her friendship and support i wouldn't be in the senate today, so regardless of what sarah decides to do in 2016 i will always remain a big fan of hers. >> reporter: cruz also fended off attacks from another republican, long time iowa governor terry branstad. >> i think it would be a big mistake for iowa to support him. >> it is no surprise that the establishment is in full panic mode. >> reporter: cruz dismissed branstad as part of the problem. >> the washington cartel live on cronyism and it lives on making deals.

>> reporter: cruz retained superior organizational strength in iowa and as the caucuses approach that strength is likely to prove as important, possibly more important than any one endorsement. in a moment out of his apprentice past, trump told his iowa director yesterday, "you better win, or you're fired." charlie? >> thanks, major. >> yes. republican strategist rick davis is with us. he was john mccain's manager in 2008. the senator became a republican nominee and chose sarah palin as his running mate. he is not attached to any candidate. what does this do to ted cruz? >> i think it's a battle for sort of a dwindling carson vote. i think we have seen koors carsy number one in iowa and now slip to maybe three and maybe four. i think the percentage he is sitting on, both trump and cruz look at that like a dog

salivating over a good, meaty bone. they want the people coming off carson on to their ballot and that is why the focus on evangelicals. i think what we saw yesterday between the visits to the liberty university and jerry falwell the nice things he said about donald trump to the sarah palin announcement was a real targeted effort to seek the evangelicals without having to talk the talk, he is walking the walk. >> is there a downside for him in sarah palin endorsing him? >> not in iowa. i think everyone else in the country people are scratching their heads when they wake up saying what is he thinking? i think he has made a bet if he can win iowa he has a shot at sweeping the whole -- >> running the table? >> running the table. >> do you think that this ends up being a contested battle at the convention? >> yeah. . i honestly spent a lot of time looking at the delegates and who is positioned in these republican states. three are battling is out right

now. the sort of outsider segment landed on donald trump and really happy with what they have got and about a third of the vote. then a third of the vote on movement conservatives. they sit squarely in there with ted cruz and they are not going anywhere right now. they are very loyal to cruz. then there is the establishment. that is another third to a little bit more. they are spread over five or six candidates. and so as that consolidates, and it probably will the first three or four states, you have three trains running down the track and if they continue to win at 30/30/30, i don't know how you get to a point where you have one person, you know, with the necessary delegates to be the presumive nominee. >> not a good day for iowa. the governor came out against him and the headlines are with donald trump and sarah palin. >> you lose and win every day at a campaign in this stage down to the wire.

a big win day for trump and big losing day for cruz. >> if trump pulls off iowa and new hampshire there and south carolina, it could be moving towards the nomination. >> well, in the old schedule, that was the case, right? because nothing stopped you. >> right. >> this time, there is a two-week period of time right after south carolina where it's all proportional primaries and everyone sort of gets spread out throughout the south and southeast. what happens is nobody really wins or lose ons. you just collect delegations. >> right. >> it is an opportunity to reset the race and if there is a juggerna juggernaut, i think you see people saying, wow, especially on the establishment side we have to have someone win florida the 15th of march and next big winner take all state and they rally around either a rubio or a christie or a bush and say, we got to stop the trump movement. >> it's interesting to watch every single day. >> every day. >> we thank you for coming in today. >> thank you. the latest poll in new hampshire finds the democratic primary there is turning into no contest at all. bernie sanders leads hillary

clinton by 27 points in that survey released yesterday. the first in the nation primaries less than three weeks away. but the vermont senator is trailing clinton in national polls. nancy cordes is covering sanders big surge in new hampshire. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. yes, 60-33 is an enormous lead. a trump-sized lead, you might say. the campaigns like to say they don't pay much attention to the polls but sanders was celebrating those numbers at each of his campaign events in iowa yesterday, saying that they prove he is a real contender. >> if you run into people and say i like what bernie stands for, but i think he can't win, please tell them that is really not the case. >> reporter: the clinton campaign shot back in a statement saying, senator sanders is trying to make a case on elect ability based on meaningless polls. and they said sanders is gaining because republican groups are talking him up, tweeting about him because they would rather

run against him than against clinton. naturally, ted cruz did say last night, he was asked about this, he would prefer to go up against sanders this clinton because he thinks a socialist would be easiest to beat. clinton, you'll recall, won in new hampshire in 2008 but wasn't going up against an opponent next door back then. sanders is from neighboring vermont and historically candidates from bordering states almost always win in new hampshire. >> thank you, nancy. breaking news. a terror attack on a university in pakistan. at least 20 people are dead. gunmen opened fire on students and staff early today on the campus in the northwestern part of the country. dozens are wounded. holly williams is following developments from istanbul, turkey. good morning, holly. >> reporter: good morning. the group of armed men stormed

white house there will be a pace for sarah palin in his cabinet. that is a let-down for ted cruz as he is battling with trump for the anti-establishment vote in iowa on tuesday, sarah palin -- >> they are attacking their ontario front-runner. now would the left ever, dnc ever come after their front-runner and her supporters? no, because they don't eat their own and can't afford to see the status quo go. otherwise, they couldn't slurp off the gravy train feeding them ofall these years. now they are concerned about this ideology cal impurity? give me a break. how about the rest of us? proud slingers of our guns and our religions and our prostitution. tell us we are not red enough? yeah, coming from the establishment? right. >> you may remember that ted cruz won a senate seat in 2012 with sarah palin's support. he says he will always be a fan of hers, no matter who she endorses. campaigning in new hampshire,

cruz kept pushing his anti-establishment message. >> conservatives are uniting behind our campaign and we will see like the empire strikes back, the establishment will strike back, because they don't want an end to the cronyism and the gravy train from washington. >> a recent poll found 52% of likely republican voters in iowa prefer an anti-establishment candidate and another poll in iowa found 57% feel betrayed by republican party politicians. a new poll of democrats is adding to the drama in the democratic race that shows bernie sanders with a commanding lead over hillary clinton in new hampshire. the senator from neighboring vermont is ahead by nearly 30 points. clinton still leads in national polls in iowa on tuesday, sanders said that voter turnout wins elections and his campaign will be able to better deliver against republicans. >> any objective look at our campaign and the energy and the excitement that it is generating with young people and with working people, compare that to

secretary clinton's campaign. will come to the conclusion that if our goal is to have a large voter turnout, we are the campaign that can do that. >> sanders will campaign thursday in new hampshire. clinton will spend just one day there this week and four in iowa. a new report coming out this morning could fundamentally change college admissions process. administrators from top colleges and universities are launching the document turning the tide. it comes from a harvard graduate school of education. the report xms the application system and offers improvement. frank luntz looks at the growing concern in his new article and the author of this book. we are pleased to have him back in studio 57. welcome. >> good to see you. >> this is an issue you've brin abo written about before? >> yes. >> what is changing in the admissions process from this report? >> the report can't command change but it's signed off and endorsed by so many people at top universities and clearly

indicates a desire and an intention to do things differently. i think what is going to happen you'll see over bits and pieces the coming years the admission process less to the metrics used so far. already you have a lot of schools saying as they tease s.a.t. is optional and schools not impressed by a huge load of courses. they are trying to get kids away from a script following in high school and figure out a way to judge them. >> i think this is exciting and a really big deal. you said it could put an end on that resume packaging that so many have done in the past and levels the field for kids who can't afford the tutors. >> it will pay attention to civic engagement. one of the things this report goes into great length is it's

telling administration officers let's stop being impressed by the name of a charitable organization a kid has worked through and find a way through essays and finds out how the charity works for whether it was just checking off another box. this is what they want to see in cambridge or -- >> to that point specifically, the report addresses the connection between academic pressure and mental health issues. >> yes. >> it says many middle and upper income communities, rates of depression, delinquency and saab stance abuse and anxiety is higher. why is that? >> kids feel they have to nail things in a very certain way. as admission rates have dropped at many top schools and they are competing each other in a more ferocious way and they are getting admissions and parents need to step up here they are getting a message if they don't get into a certain kind of school they have failed in life and forever more behind the 8 ball. that message is so destructive and seen the high rates of mental illness of kids in high school but every university is reporting record numbers of kids coming in for treatment to their

mental health services on campus and that is becoming a bigger problem. >> the bottom line they are looking at how do you look and make sure that you're not leaving behind some really terrific kids. >> right. >> who don't have the privilege that other kids have? >> which is key. the context of this is we are living in a country with yawning income and equality. higher education is asking, very appropriately more than ever what is our part in social mobility and how do we remedy that? one of the reasons you're seeing schools step aside from standardized tests a lot of research what does standardized tests judge is income of your family. they are trying to say what are the markers that spot potential and don't respect privilege. >> paying attention to a kid who family or a part-time job the because he has to help the family and not be engaged in community involvement.

>> so how realistic is this that you think this will actually happen? >> i don't think we will see an overwhelming sea change in one administration cycle. but when you look at the fact the news conference today in new york, someone from yale is there, the dean of admissions and someone from m.i.t. and michigan you're clearly seeing a signal that admission officials are making some changes. i think the next five years we will see big changes. >> you write about a 2014 survey of 10,000 middle and high school students about what they thought was important and what did they find? >> the author of this report is the person who did this search and asked kids what matters most? individually chief achievement or happy for caring for others. they were shocked. when you get a question like that you know you're supposed to say. you're supposed to say something high minded and you're admitting off the bat, i don't care about others, i kay about my achievement. >> did that anything to do with background? >> i don't know if they broke it

down that way. what they are asking in this new report is what extent does the college admissions process bring about those values and exacerbate the problem of excessive focus on individual achievement and where do i rate and what is my status in society? >> thank you, frank bruni. >> vice president joe biden lost his son to cancer and now he is

leading the mission to come up with a cure. our dr. david agus will reveal what the vice president told him announcer: this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by liberty mutual insurance. see car insurance in a whole new

i think that is powerful and we need it in our state. >> this marks the one-year anniversary that they have been in office. realistically what do you think they can get done in that time? >> i think start to put the framework together to free the data and we can be part of that solution. at the same time, they can work with regulatory agencies. the fda, some of the medicare services and work them to get things done quicker. we could develop one drug to treat cancer and fountain the f develop more drugs. he is starting to work with me and many other cancer doctors across the country to make a difference. >> david, the vice president paid you a compliment about your ability to explain science. here is that video. >> you're speaking plainly, straightforwardly, that everybody can understand exactly why it's important in the examples you've given. >> so, david, coming out of -- go ahead. >> you know, it's a privilege to

they are not guarding each other and not in the low post in basketball. interesting to watch peyton play now and to go to another sport, is like somebody who is a great fastball pitcher in baseball and now throwing melons and cantaloupe. he clearly can't throw the ball and he is getting by on guiel. the only advantage they have on sunday, i think, is that the game is in denver instead of foxborou foxborough. >> how about their defense? >> broncos defense, i believe, has been the most formidable in the sport this year. we saw what happened when brock osweiler was the quarterback against the patriots before and the denver broncos defense beat brady. it's hard to do that twice in the same year. >> you're predicting the patriots? >> i do. only for my own twisted amusement. because the patriots make everybody so crazy, outside of, like, a six-state area in new england. so they are always being accused of something and i just love the fact that it makes most of the

country this passionate. >> your twisted amusement is fun to watch. your latest column about the nfl coin toss and you're not a fan because? >> a billion dollar industry, the biggest we have ever had in sports in this country, often comes down to a flip of the coin. you tell me another place in sports -- then they don't use a real coin! >> the question whether it's flipped or not as we had this past weekend. >> all i know is that you can make a case that aaron rodgers might be the best player in football. two years in a row, because of a coin flip, he never gets to touch the ball in overtime. that is a bone-headed system. >> right. what would you replace it with? >> in the regular season, charlie, i see why they have to keep the line moving to television. play until the game is resolved. certainly play an extra quarter. where do they have to be? nowhere. >> let's talk about your new book "the extra yard." >> look at the dedication to your agent.

>> agent to the stars and me. >> it's about an eighth grader, teddy. what are some of the underlying themes in this book? >> norah, i got into this world because one year i took all of the kids who got cut in my town and started a team of my own and gave them a chance to give back. i didn't know what i was doing. my wife now says in retrospect, honey, you writing inside of the mind of a 12-year-old seems like pretty much a perfect fit! but if you start reading my book, you know i'm going to ask my main character to overcome something. teddy in this book has grown up without a father because of a divorce and his father lives on the other side of the country. you would think he would be thrilled when his father comes back into his life. it's not that easy. this is a book that kind of tips the whole father/son and sports thing. >> you coached all of your kids? >> i tried not to screw them up but let me tell you something. these books are written in that spirit. there's not a time, norah, when i go by a field or a gym where i

coached and wouldn't give up a zillion dollars to have one more friday night or saturday afternoon back. >> who is the audience for your books? >> oh, it starts in middle grade. we go from, like, 8 to 15. and the great thing is once i get them, they stay with me. i was telling gayle before the show today, i'll be out in public now and i'll see somebody who i know is a mom and coming towards me. i know they are not going to want to talk about my dopey newspaper column or tv. they are are going to tell me a story how i got their kids to want to read. then they will say, you probably get tired of hearing that. i said, not at all! >> mike, what is so good about the book in this particular book, you have boys talking to each other. you never see boys talking to each other about their problems and their vulnerabilities. i think that is an important message to send to young boys. >> i have three sons and they were like that. i mean, our dinner table was, you know, sometimes sounded like a counseling session. people would say the kids in your book sound real.

i think they ought to because it came out of the back seat of my car, our dinner table, sidelines, and locker rooms. >> do you want your kids to play football? >> man i tell you what, charlie. i would have to think long and hard about that. fortunately, my sons were all pacifists and his uniform never got dirty and my wife never had to wash it. >> bottom line, you have reservations? >> with cognitive difficulties of ex-players, how can you not? >> thank you, mike. >> should we mention the book one more time? >> yes! >> it's called "the extra yard"

and on sale now. congratulations, mike.
