Two days after the approval of getting over the fiscal cliff, the members of the 113th congress will be sworn in today. 13 senatorst and 82 house members will be new, theyll struggle with most of the same issues as the old congress from spending to gun control to immigration reform, and they face a nagging question how much can they get done . Nancy cordes is on capitol hill. Reporter good morning, that new congress is set to be sworn in, in about an hour and ill tell you, most lawmakers are only too happy to be shutting the door on the past two years. The 112th Congress Passed just 151 bills. Thats less legislation than in the past 65 years, in fact less than the do Nothing Congress that harry truman ran against in 1948. Weve turned ourselves into a laughing stock of the world. Reporter the 112th congress was filled with plenty of infighting. Speaker bainer is unwilling to negotiate. Reporter but not much legislating. I need a dance partner. Reporter an Approval Rating dipped to 10 twice last year lower than past Approval Rating for the irs, lawyers and paris hilton, slightly higher than fidel castro. No ones more frustrated with congress than the members themselves. They tell me this is the least Productive Congress in the history of the nation. If its not, i would be hate to be in the one that was. I dont think its the most glorious chapter in the history of the United States senate. Reporter arizona senator john mccain served in congress for 31 years. Why cant the house or the senate get more done . I think we have a polarized electorate for one, but also i have to be candid with you, there is a certain lack of courage around here to take steps and positions and move legislation that may offend certain contichstituentcyonstituency, whether on the right or the left. Reporter just ten years ago mccain belonged to a powerful coalition of moderate senators from the right and left who worked together but today their numbers shrunk. Republican scott brown of massachusetts and Richard Lugar of indiana were defeated kent conrad and ben nelson both retiring and because the bill to avert the fiscal cliff did not address spending the new congress will be fighting the exact same battle as the last one. Maryland congresswoman Chris Van Hollen is the top democrat on the house budget committee. The inability to get a comprehensive agreement means well be dealing with the budget issues on an on again off again basis for months to come. Reporter that means there are a couple more cliffs coming. This new congress is going to have to vote sometime in the next couple of months to raise the debt ceiling, and the truth, anthony and norah, is that this fiscal cliff was relatively simple to solve, if congress had so much trouble with that how are they going to tackle more difficult issues that they say they want to work on like immigration and tax reform. Good question. Nancy cordes thanks. President obama signed a fiscal cliff legislation into law wednesday, after reyou nighting with his family in hawaii. Chip reid is traveling with the president in honolulu. Chip, good morning. Reporter good morning, anthony and norah. This is the president s second visit to hawaii this holiday season. He was here for christmas and then rushed back to washington for that battle over the fiscal cliff. Now hes back on vacation after what the white house believes was a major victory. That vikt way was crowned late last night when the president authorized the signing of the fiscal cliff deal. He didnt sign it with his observe hand but used an auto pen back in washington. In a video to supporters, the president hailed the deal which raises tax rates on high incomes. Weve now raised those rates permanently, making our tax code more progressive than its been in decades. Reporter the president pledged to keep up the pressure on congress. What we fought for in 2012 weve got to fight just as hard for in 2013. So when i take the oath of office this month, ill be as determined as ever and im glad ive got you by my side. Reporter with another big battle over spending just ahead, the president is spending over 3 million for his second round trip flight to hawaii and thats only for operating air force one. It doesnt include the costs associated with dozens of personnel and the secret Service Agents who guard his oceanfront compound. The president will be here three more days. Hes getting a National Security briefing every day and spending a lot of time with his family and yesterday, he managed to find time for six hours on the golf course. Anthony and norah . Wow, six hours, chip reid thank you. One of the first jobs for the First Congress is voting on funding for Superstorm Sandy victims, a 60 billion aid bill died in the house tuesday night, sparking outrage and forcing Republican Leaders to back pedal. Elaine quijano is in Trenton New Jersey where the republican governor led that outrage. Elaine, good morning. Reporter good morning, anthony and norah. House Speaker John Boehner now promises a vote tomorrow on 9 billion in sandy aid, followed by another vote in less than two weeks on the remaining 51 billion. It was a move forced in large part by the governors of two very blue states. Disaster relief was something that you didnt play games with but now in this current atmosphere, everything is the subject of oneupsmanship. It is why the American People hate congress. Reporter across the hudson river, new yorks democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo echoed his counterparts call to arms. Ask any family in lynden hurst, in the rockaways, in Staten Island if the delay bothers them and then step back after you ask the question. Reporter mayor Michael Bloomberg was more tempered in his reaction but as the region continues to reel from the devastation of the october storm, cuomo and christie showed they could flex considerable political muscle and pressure republicans to hold a vote this friday. The empire and garden states reliably vote democratic in National Elections but the regions vast wealth fills the coffers of politicians in both parties. In real world terms what does not getting this money now mean for the state of new jersey . Our ability to be able to help Small Businesses on the shore and elsewhere get up and running, huge difference to help people get back in their homes, huge difference. To be able to know can we replenish and rebuild the beaches. Reporter fema said the National Flood Insurance Program will run out of money next week. It has already paid out 1. 7 billion in sandyrelated claims. Flood control and transit repair projects could also be delayed. Repairs to the path trains which link both states and sustained 700 million in damage may be put on hold. Here at the state house in trenton, governor christie noted that after hurricane katrina, it took the federal government just ten days to get a relief package to the gulf coast. It has now been 67 days since sandy made landfall and people here in the northeast are still waiting. Anthony and norah . Elaine quijano, thank you. With us is robert gibbs, the former White House Press secretary and Senior Adviser for his reelection campaign. Good morning. Good morning. Robert you heard the piece, 67 days since Superstorm Sandy hit and it seems that the storms victims are the latest casualty of this fiscal cliff fight. Does the president bear any responsibility for a broken washington . Well, look, i think what the president has challenged members of both parties to do is make sure that our politics fits the moment and the size of the problems that we have. Certainly he has worked tirelessly to bring democrats and republicans together, to try to solve some of these problems and i think you have seen and others have seen that time after time it is hard to bring people like Speaker Boehner to the table to make those compromises. Theres an old phrase someone says dont confuse effort with accomplishment. That should be the motto of washington, but look you know in this piece, we have averted tax rates going up on the middle class right now, which is a huge victory, i think, for the country. The question is again, we have this mini govern by mini crisis and the question is how are we going to meet that moment in the next two months . How are we going to make sure that the people that were hurt and the businesses that were destroyed and the houses damaged in Hurricane Sandy get the relief they need and its really time as you said in that piece, its time to put a lot of the politics of this away come together and start to make some Real Progress on behalf of the American People. Weve been saying that for a long time and doesnt seem like this congress is able to do it. As you point out, there are at least three more big budget battles ahead in the next two months and a lot of democrats in congress are complaining that the president effectively used up all his leverage in getting this passed. So where does he go from here . Well first and foremost look, i think nobody in america is going to miss the previous congress. I think thats fairly well established. When your approval rate something compared to fidel castro, i think that sort of ends that conversation. Look, i think, i dont agree that the president has used up all of his leverage but i think that what is fair is were going to judge the totality of this fiscal cliff deal based on what happens at the end of february. Are we making progress it and making our tax code more balanced doing something that helps to continue to strengthen the economy as well as get our fiscal house in order . Both sides have things that we need to do. The president would like to see more balance in our tax code we would all like to see a reduction in some of the spending that we see coming out of government and we know what we need to do. The question again, can our politics have people sit down at that table and make some genuine compromises to get things done . I am heartened by the fact that as we got up to this deadline we saw republicans in both the house and the senate that were willing to put aside the chicanery for a little bit and finally get something done on behalf of the American People. But robert the president has said and declared declaredhe wont negotiate with congress about raising the debt ceiling. What leverage does the president have to get some sort of grand bargain . Well i think what the president is talking about there is we have to we shouldnt get into a debate about whether or not were going to pay the bills that we have already wracked up as he said. We know we have to pay for those bills. Thats money thats already been spent. So look lets go ahead and assume, yes, were going to not default on the nations bills, because we understand that would be a calamity for our economy, but i think both sides didnt get things in this fiscal cliff deal that set the stage for the next one. Look, there are things that we can do again to continue to make our tax code fair. Republicans would like to see some changes in the way we do some entitlements hopefully in a measured way so we dont end up doing more harm than good but look, i think we all understand the elements that have to be involved to continue again to grow our economy, to get some balance in our tax code to get our fiscal house in order. Again, if we could just put aside some of the screaming and yelling. Robert but this does set up what someone has called these cascading cliffs now, that there are more of these. Isnt this a distraction from what the president wanted to didnt he give in and now hurt himself in terms of going after some of the other legislative accomplishments that he wanted to spend with this new congress in other words immigration reform, tax reform something on gun control . Well look i think tax reform has to be a big part of all of these whatever fiscal cliffs or cascades or what wed like to call them now. Look, i think we understand this, we have a lot of things that we have to solve. Lets take guns for instance. Lets give some assurance as those children go back to Sandy Hook Elementary School that military assault weapons arent going to be on our streets anymore, were not going to give the deranged a gun used in afghanistan and 30 bullets to do terror. I think there are things we ought to be able to in washington have to walk and chew gum at the same time. We have to get our fiscal house in order and do stuff on guns and immigration. Robert gibbs thank you for being with us. Thank you. For survivors of the newtown massacre today is the first day of school since 20 children and 6 Staff Members rp killed at sandy hook element tear.

New figures show after the newtown massacre in december the fbi performed a Record Number of background checks for people wanting to buy firearms. Former cia director john miller is with us this morning. Good morning. Good morning. Were seeing sales shoot up. December was a record right . Thats right. December is always a record. What you have here is three elements that come together. Black friday broke all records. Thats the big sales day. On that one day alone 154 guns were sold in america. But its the saturday before christmas thats always the big sale day. And, of course the third element is the possible of new gun control laws. You bring those three things together and what you have is the perfect storm for gun sales. What kind of guns are people buying . The Gun Store Owners i talked with said the guns that were flying off the shelves and they couldnt keep in stock was the ar15 rifle. This is the very weapon used in the Newtown School massacre the same weapon used in the Movie Theater massacre in aurora the same weapon that was used in the shooting at the mall in oregon just a few days before newtown. Its the weapon chosen by the washington sniper. Its the civilian model of what the military use in afghanistan or police s. W. A. T. Teams in america. We should point out in december there were 2. 7 million gun sales and thats up from eight months ago and that was a record. Right. Were talking millions of background checks. Remember, anthony, a small member of those people may be reject bud another percentage are buying multiple weapon on that one back ground check. Let me ask you this. If congress were to reinstitute the ban on assault rifles would it ban this ar15 . Also unlikely. It might ban the weapon. If it decide thad weapon was an assault weapon which it didnt exactly do the last time what people have done is stock up. What we saw with the last weapons ban is the gun manufacturers used that time and they discussed it for a year before they passed it to really crank out to flood the market with those weapons and the gun buyers saw that and bought those up as well as the highcapacity magazines also outlawed. What were seeing is history repeating itself. Theyre arming up. All right. John miller thank you. And when the 113th congress convenes today, it will be an especially emotional and remarkable return to capitol hill for one lawmaker. You may remember one republican senator mark kirk of illinois suffered a mass ichb stroke last year. Our jay levine is on capitol hill where he spoke with the senator. Good morning. Reporter good morning, norah. Hi, anthony. Very little happening on capitol hill as you know can be considered inspirational as you know. The last few weeks have been spard by infighting and thats what makes the story of senator mark kirk uplifting. Reporter hes used to a grueling schedule and challenging workload. Mr. President id like to take this time to talk on the pending legislation. Reporter but just a year ago kirk faced his most grueling one yet. He checked himself into the hospital after feeling dizzy. He suffer add stroke. It will affect his ability to use his left arm, possibly left leg. With this left side of his body largely immobile recovery will be difficult. He spent eight hour as day in unrelenting therapy learned how to walk and talk. Within months the senator had made remarkable progress even posting updates to his constituents on the website. Im walking again leading to the hope that i can walk the 45 steps from the steps that my staff counted from the parking lot to the front door. Reporter it will be the high point of his rehabilitation. Thanking back to walking on that treadmill and from then to now, did you think this day walking the steps would be possible . I honestly had doubts and at times, you know because i was improving so rapidly, i thought about this day a lot and knew i could nail it. Reporter for senator mark kirk walking those steps will mark the end of his yearlong time away from congress but only the beginning. The big moment will be when i get to see senator tim johnson who suffered from stroke here. And i cant wait to bond with him so that hopefully we can be advocates for americans who have survived stroke. Reporter ive about known mark kirk for many many years, ever since he was an aide to a local congressman. Is he all the way back to where he was a year ago . Not really. Would i venture against him getting there, anthony and norah . No way. Thanks. Jay, hes made incredible progress. Its an amazing story and really powerful. It is. You talk to him and see him and see the old mark kirk you see that spark you see the desire to reach across the party line. He could be the guy, the catalyst for getting something done here. I know from walking those stairs myself its a steam climb for anybody. So good luck to the senator. We wish him recovery.

North Korean Leader kim jongun made headlines for a speech calling for better relations with south korea even though the two countries are technically at war. As ben tracy reports his wife is the true headliner inside north korea. Reporter north koreas staterun Television Just released this video of kim jongun attending a new years event with his wife. Theyre seen with diplomats and later attending a concert where one of the favorite bands performed. It would be a pedestrian appearance in america but its rare in north korea where the leader has always been a oneman show. Both the father and grandfather were the head of state and you never saw the wives. Thats why kim jongun is so interesting because his wife is all over the place. Reporter his wife was thought to be the former lead singer of band. Shes made waves by ditching north koreas bland h style work clothes opting for designer pant suits, dresses, and chanel bags. Even a couple of years ago it was considered western krumgts to have chanel or this type of designer clothing. Now its being flaunted by the first lady so theyre clearly moving in the first nation. Reporter theres also been controversy. His wife was summoned away. Rumors say she was pregnant or she followed the old guard. Some noticed she was wearing broaches instead of the lapel pin featuring the north koreas founder but it was all speculation because the regime is notoriously secret. We dont know how old she is and we dont know how old he is. We guess she was born between 1985 and 1988. Up until two years ago we didnt even have a photograph of kim jongun. So we dont know that much of what is going on. Reporter we know on new years they all appeared to be all smiles at least by frozen start to many of the valleys around the bay area.

And well look back at the long career of patty paige, one of pop musics most memorable voices. With you first but first, heres a look at todays eye opener at 8 00. Just two days after Congress Finally approved a deal to avoid the fiscal cliff were getting a new group of lawmakers. Why cant the house or the senate get more done . I have to be candid with you. There is a certain lack of courage around here. Does the president bear any responsibility for a broken washington. Secretary clinton is home for the first time after three days in the hospital. Her spokesperson says shes eager to get back to the office. One of the first jobs for the new congress is voting on funding for Superstorm Sandy victims. It has now been 67 days since sandy made landfall and people here in the northeast are still waiting. For survivors of the newtown massacre, today is the first day of school since 20 children and 6 Staff Members were killed at sandy hook elementary. As the children return to class it seems like today will be anything but normal. Every time theres a mass shooting in america, the demand for guns sky rockets. History is repeating itself here. People are worried that there might be a ban. By thing on pro football is nothing new in vegas but bookies are losing. Somehow i think theyre going to make it all back. Police report fewer drunk driving arrests this past new years eve. Arrests were down . You know why . Congress was stuck in session. Im Norah Odonnell with anthony mason. Charlie and gayle are off. President obama is picking up his christmas vacation where he left off a week ago after signing the fiscal cliff deal preventing across the board tax hikes and budget cuts. Chip reid is traveling with the president in honolulu. Chip, good morning. Reporter well, good morning, nora. This was the president s second visit to hawaii this holiday season. He was here for christmas, then rushed back to washington for that battle over the fiscal cliff. Now hes back here for three more days of vacation. The president praised the fiscal cliff deal in a video to his supporters yesterday and last night he signed authorization papers for the deal here in hawaii but the actual bill was signed back in washington with an auto pen. The president is spending most of his time here with family and friends at his ocean front compound which is guarded by secret Service Agents. Yesterday he found time for six hours on the golf course. Norah, if history is any guide, hell be doing plenty of that over the next few days before he returns to washington this weekend. All right. Chip reid, thank you. Republicans in congress have taken a beating this week between the fiscal cliff drama and the decision to put off Superstorm Sandy relief. Lets talk about it with frank this morning. Good morning. It has been a very tough week after a tough two years for the gop. I was with a number of members last night and while the wounds have begun to heal the American People are very frustrated with congress right now. Theyre frustrated with washington. They do what senator john mccain has said they want them to get along, get stuff done. The gop is hoping today starting with a new Congress Things will be different. Frank, i didnt even get a question in there. You took it and went. I mean, i didnt have to say a thing. You just start talking. But i want to ask you about the state of the Republican Party. Sure. You heard governor Chris Christie excoriate the House Republicans yesterday saying its disappointing, its disgusting. He said that he had tried to call Speaker Boehner four times and didnt get his phone call returned until the next day. What does this do for the state of the party, this in fighting . It is a challenge. Remember that Speaker Boehner was trying to deal with these issues of National Importance and getting a phone call from a governor youve got to get stuff done first and then you can do things step by step. Part of the issue with whats happening in washington now is that the focus has been on tax increases rather than spending cuts. 70 of americans, norah, didnt want to see taxes go up on the richest americans according to recent polls. 80 of americans want to see washington stop some of its spending and this socalled fiscal cliff did not do anything when it comes to spending. I think where the goop has made a mistake is that they allowed this to be about taxes rather than the various programs that the American People would like to see reduced in some way. Frank, back to norahs point about the state of the party. You had Speaker Boehner going one way on the fiscal cliff deal. You had majority leader eric cantor going another way. There seems to be a split inside the party. And you hear it in the grassroots. You hear it all across the country. The Republican Party historically has been against raising taxes. But viewers should know that 98. 5 of americans are going to get a permanent tax cut and that even Grover Norquist the leader in the antitax movement has said that this isnt a tax increase. Youre correct, that there are schisms within the gop that did not exist before but thats what a new congress does. And if the focus turns from tax policy to spending i think that youll find that the republicans will unite. Yeah, but i think part of the criticism as you know frank, is that heres a Republican Party that agreed to tax cuts but got no spending cuts and no entitlement reform out of this president , that it wasnt a great deal after all. And thats and the American People would agree with that. Norah, youre correct. And so theyre going to come back at this with the debt ceiling and with the budget over the next two and three months and its going to be up to the president to prove, to demonstrate to the American People that he is serious that this deficit cannot be solved just by take increases, that in the end youve got to get entitlement programs under control and youve got to plan for the future. Thats also part of this vote on sandy. You cant spend this is what the gop has said that you cant spend on everything at every moment all the time that you have to set priorities. So if youre going to spend more on sandy, then you have to find an offset that you spend less. Frank, Going Forward here. If youre talking about a schism within the Republican Party and youre talking about a speaker who votes with a minority of his party on a major deal, i mean, what kind of bargaining position is the party going to be in Going Forward here if they cant unite around anything . What youve illustrated the whole problem and you have to give president obama credit, that he put the gop in this situation. Look, if the vote had gone in the other direction and they voted down this compromise then id be on this show this morning and you all would be criticizing the republicans for undermining the economy, for killing the stock market. In the end, this was a nowin situation and in politics you can survive this once or twice before your own voters start to turn against you. So i dont disagree with anything that the two of you have asked about and youve got to wonder will the republicans learn and will they change the focus over the next eight weeks from taxes to spending . Because when theyre talking about spending, theyre on the side of the majority of the American People. Frank luntz. Frank, thanks so much for being with us this morning. Thank you. Today is a new beginning for the students of Sandy Hook Elementary School. Theyre returning to class in a new school in a neighboring town. School Officials Say theyre hoping it will be a normal day.

I remember that song very well. Right now dr. Holly phillips has a suggestion for the new year. Take a hike. Good morning. Today on healthwatch, nature nurtures creativity. Disconnecting from our digital devices seems to become more difficult every day, but theres now one more reason to take a vacation in the great outdoors. A new study finds spending time with nature is good for your mind. It even improves problem solving abilities and creativity by 50 . Researchers looked at 56 people with an average age of 28 and split them into two groups. The first took a creativity test before a backpacking trip and the second took it on the fourth day of the trip. Those who took it before had an average score of about 4. Those who took it on the fourth day scored just about 6. The second group was not only more creative but also better at problem solving. Researchers cant say whether the improvements were due to more nature less technology, or both, but they say extended periods in front of a computer likely has cognitive costs, and going for a hike could help reverse them. It may also be more crucial now than ever. Recent data show young people spend just 20 minutes a day playing outside and almost eight hours a day using cell phones tvs, and computers. So next time youre agonizing over your computer screen consider stepping outside instead and let nature nurture your mind. Im dr. Holly phillips. Announcer cbs healthwatch sponsored by bayer aspirin.

He was free on bond when he allegedly showed up at her house this week. Welcome back to cbs this morning. We start every new year with the best of intentions. The Weight Watchers ceo told us its overrated. Were told you can work on it and its in his new book. Good morning. John, this is great book and you detail through here just about how important selfcontrol or willpower and intelligence are in terms of success. What is willpower . Willpower is what enables you to its this Mental Energy that enables you to expert selfcontrol, risk temptation and follow through on new years resolutions. It gets depleted by lots of things you do all day long. Why is selfcontrol so important in success . Well you know people say selfcontrol, theyre happier in life, they do better at life at work, their relationships are better. You know when psychologists look at the two things that predict success they keep finding its i. Q. And selfcontrol. And theres not much you can do about i. Q. But selfcontrol you can. You talk about it being finite and decision fatigue. How does that affect willpower. Its a source of energy you use and you use it when you make decisions. So when you resist a temptation or decide whether to do something north, its drawing on that same source of energy and it gets depleted when do you it. President obama heard about the research in this book and he tried to cut down the number of decisions he makes. He wears a dark suit every day so he doesnt have to decide what kind of suit do i wear. Hes saving his power for more important things. He doesnt have to decide whether he flies southwest or American Airlines which kind of helps when youre the president. He just flies air force one, which is not a bad one. Even in this book you talk about whether its president bill clinton, eliot spitzer, very powerful men who because of making so many decisions may have given in to a lack of self selfcontrol, right . Yeah. Youre depleted at the end of the day and then you think, you know, tweet a picture of myself in my underwear, why not, what could go wrong. Whats interesting is that willpower is fueled by glucose right . Yes. How does that work . They found that when someone experts selfcontrol it depletes their willpower but it then replenishes it and youve got more selfcontrol again. Were not advocating grow out and drink a lot of sugarfilled drinks. They do that in the lab because its a real fast way to do it. It comes from all the foods you eat. Thats why dieters have had such a hard time because in order not to eat you need willpower but in order to have willpower you need to eat. We should point out too, this is not just your ideas. You cowrote this book with roy baummeister. So theres a lot of studies. One of the studies is the marshmallow study which i love and has something to do with kids. They showed kids marshmallows. You can eat this if you want but if you wait till i come back ill give you two. They discovered accidentally that the kids who had done really well at resisting, they did better in school had higher sachlt scores better relationship they just did better in all kinds of ways. Kids are amazing. The only people like myself im going to do it on my own kids to determine their future success. How long do they have to wait for the second marshmallow . 15 minutes. Thats impossible for a 4yearold. Oh, my gosh. What are some of the tricks we can use to improve our willpower. One of the things you can do is conserve your willpower. They set up their lives so theyre not using their willpower. They dont bring stuck home into their freezer, they have to make appointments at the gym. They outsource selfcontrol to their friends and rely on that. So con serving willpower, building up that and setting realistic goals, simple goals you can achieve and dont make more than one new years resolution. One at a time. You should use it for one thing. Keep it simple. John tierney, thank you. Willpower is on sale now. When combat veterans return home its big and it can carry over to the bedroom. Well look anybody catch president obama on meet the press the other day . Dabd gregory asked him if the fiscal deal was his lincoln moment and obama said no he never compares himself to lincoln. Here, you take a listen. People have been asking me a lot about the film lincoln. Is this your lincoln moment . No. A, i never come pare myself to lincoln and, b and the new congress being sworn in today is likely to take a clois look at a growing issue forthe military and that is the number of troops who are committing suicide. Many of those deaths are committed to another problem for returning veterans and that is breakdown between marriage and to have sex and a lot of it. Reporter mark waddell had a physical desire like any man returning from war but for this elite and Accomplished Navy sael it has upended the bonds at home. I felt much nr comfortable in the combat zone than i did being with my family back in the states. Reporter marring for more than 20 years go his High School Sweetheart mar shell, it had come to a breaking point. On the surface their family of five looked picture perfect. Do you remember when you first saw one another . We were at summer camp in prescott, arizona, and he had on red swim trunks and i thought, i need to meet this guy. I had seen her well in advance, well before the red trunks. Reporter mark worked his way up to Operations Director for all east coast s. E. A. L. Teams. There were years of coy vert missions. He lost dozens of teammates an came home with multiple injuries trauma that slowly chipped away at the heart of his marriage. Reporter what were the symptoms of that mark . Very shortfused temper very shortfused. I had no tolerance for anything seemingly insubordinate or meaningless. It was chaotic and unpredictable. Reporter it took years for marshelle and mark to understand he was suffered from posttraumatic stress and brain injuries. Both can impact intimacy. Once you understand whats going on with your spouse and you become a caregiver to different degrees, sex isnt great with someone that youre responsible for. It seems incestuous. The reality of it is when you come back, a lot of times because of some of the medications, some of the psychological effects, some of the physiological lingerings from the battlefield can create times when that is just not possible. This is the elephant in the room. Reporter marilyn lash counsels the wives of husbands with brain injuries. Demanding sex, cop standly, repeat lid during the day. This is what we call frontal lobe injury. The other thing we see is loss of intimacy. Thats tied into loss ofly bee dough but also depression. Reporter longterm effects can reach beyond just sex. Half of troops who committed suicide had a failed relationship. I department wantidnt want to say anything because i was seeing buries comey sies bodies copping back. I thought with the injuries i had sustained i had no reason to complain or raise my hand and say theres something wrong here. Reporter mark and marshelle eventually sought coming. Eight years later theyre still together. Reporter what enen you look at each other what do you see . Do you see that little boy in prescott with the red swim trunks . Sometimes. Thats what gives me hope. Yeah. I dont see that very often. Sigh e that sadness thats just below the surface. I think that whatever that was in that past relationship has found a new beginning and weve taken that which was salvageable, and its kind of getting to date a new girl again. Boy. I give them a lot of credit for talking about this. This is an incredible long road back and its obviously theyre still working but its really its really tough. Were focused sometimes so much on the physical injuries of war and amputees and not for the psychological injuries and it is true that many military families are focused this as theres now more than one suicide per day and theres a lot of new tension that needs to be focused that and lee woodruff did a fabulous job of bring this couples story to survive. You can see by the wifes face how difficult this is to go through. Speaking of navy s. E. A. L. S which mark was working with when he was in the military we have another story. Chris pratt is a busy actor and well talk about his job from moneyball to Parks Recreation when cbs this morning continues. I i got it i got it made i got it made i got it made i got it made fresh at subway breakfast made the way i say [ male announcer ] at subway, you got it made.

In the controversial new mirror zero dark 30 chris pratt plays a navy s. E. A. L. Sent to find Osama Bin Laden. Patrick, be honest with me. Do you really believe this story . No offense, no offense, i know, but Osama Bin Laden . Yeah. I wanted you to hear it fefrt. You know that thing we talked about . Its going to happen. When . Tonight. Good luck. Its a long way from his loveable and goofy character andy dwyer on Parks Recreation. You were check out our beautiful set. Yeah, i like it. Congratulations on the movie. Yeah, yeah. Its a good one. Very intense. You actually went through some training to play the part of the navy s. E. A. L. Yeah yeah. Yeah. It you know, these guys are in incredible shape and really fit and theyre just theyre true warriors and so we got a tiny taste of what they go through but it was nothing what the real s. E. A. L. S go through. What kind of training did you have to do . We had to do a long ocean swim in incredibly cold water with no rescue suit and took a shot at their obstacle course. How did you do . Oh man. They were like god, are you sure you want to be on parks rec because we need more navy s. E. A. L. S. No no. Terribly i was slow. You talked about moneyball and you were talking about getting into shape for that. You did hiphop abs. Yes. Hiphop abs is very difficult. Not as difficult as s. E. A. L. S training. Take us sort of behind the scenes. As you were preparing for this role, what surprised you about the raid . What did you learn that you didnt know before . I think you know so much of the raid and mission was classified so to find out some of the elements u dont want to spoil it. It didnt go as well as we think. We know that Osama Bin Laden was killed in the raid so that to us equals a successful raid but it didnt go off without a hitch. And, you know despite the fact that we know what happens at the end of this movie, its really interesting to see how it happened. And how it happened really surprised me. You talked about it being intense. That wasnt the most intense. Its very dark hard to watch. Its clear in watching it youre trying to figure out whats going on. You shot this in jord p. Yeah, yeah. What was that experience like . It was it was pretty incredible. You know i was really surprised to see they named a country after a great basketball star. I dont know the nba was big in the region, but no. It was insap. It was insane. And, you know as a kid, i grew up playing army in the woods and this was really very fun. And i got to hang out with 20 or so dudes. There was a lot of a lot of hard work but also a lot of camaraderie and drinking and fistfighting and something every actor dreams of doing. Youre actually from a military family right . Well there are many members of my family that have been in the military. I wouldnt necessarily call us a military family but my brother was in the army and ive got a lot of cousins and nephews that serve. After playing in this role did you gain greater respect of what the navy s. E. A. L. S and others in the military had to go through to carry out this raid . Absolutely. Thats the thing.
