Terrorism and National Security dominated the final Republican Debate of 2015. It was a hardfought two hours. Big name president ial candidates criticized and occasionally mocked each other. Marco rubio took several shots at ted cruz last night and jeb bush was aggressive toward donald trump and the frontrunner gave it right back. Major garrett is at the site of last nights debate. Good morning. Reporter good morning. The debate was an instant time capsule. A prime time event in which the terrorism overshadowed every other tapopic. They clashed over the views but in the end offered an anxious nation a promise and one could phrase. We will keep america safe. Safe. Safe. Your safety and security is safe with me. Security. Reporter the competition to be tougher on National Security running in low single digits, forced his way back into the conversation by repeatedly challenging donald trump. This is a tough business. Guy, jeb. And we need to have a leader that is tough. Youre real tough, jeb. You will never get there. Im at 42 and youre at 3 so, so far, im doing better. Doesnt matter. Ted cruz and marco rubio he crashed. Ted accused rubio for a path for citizenship. Does the ted cruz ruleout ever realize that people in this country senator cruz . I never supported legalization and do not intend to. Reporter Chris Christie said his experience as a post9 11 u. S. Attorney general. This is what its like to be on the floor of the u. S. Senate. I mean, endless debates about pin from people who have never had to make a consequential decision in an executive position. After the debate rand paul told us trumps calls to shut down part of the internet to force isis propaganda and target the families of terrorists were, quote, radical and ridiculous. I think when people discover he wants to get rid of the First Amendment to the constitution they might scratch their head and say, oh, my god. We asked trump what he valid more. Security or the bill of rights . I have always come down on the side of security. To me, its the most important. Even if it means doing something to encroach on the bill of rights . I hate it. I hate the concept of it. We are dealing with very bad dudes. Trump ended months of speculation about a thirdparty candidacy if he doesnt win the gop nomination. I am totally committed to the republican party. I feel very honored to be the frontrunner. Reporter trump senior advisers told us trump had always been clear with them and had been for weeks he would run not consider a thirdparty race. Trump made the announcement tonight after reviewing polling data nationally and sees a clear path to the nomination. Thanks, major. Only on cbs this morning, new jersey governor Chris Christie is with us from las vegas. Governor, good morning. Good morning. With donald trump and senator cruz gaining ground, is it essential now for republicans in the center to come together and coalesce around one candidate as soon as possible . No. Listen. I think what you need to do is continue to make your case to the American People and our republican primary voters about the safety and security of our country and who is best prepared, who is the most tested and is most ready to protect the United States of america and its citizens and i thought we made it clear last night that my experience as federal prosecutor and United States attorney general and governor of new jersey makes me the best last night, governor, did you make a conscious decision not to engage with donald trump . A couple of dustups between jeb bush and donald trump and can you say im going to let this play out and stay above the fray . What was your thinking when this was going on . The most important thing is to remember that our hardwareaddversary was watching last night in Hillary Clinton. Its not for our country to get in the minor dustups that these guys get into and talking about the little petty things they discuss among each other. My idea is keep the eye on the ball and make sure we get the best person to prosecute the case against Hillary Clinton in the fall and i believe im that person. Governor, thank you again for getting up so early with us from las vegas. I know it was a late night for you. I want to ask you about one of the things you have gocketedadvocated you would shoot down that russian plane. What is the rules of engagement . Very clear, if they go into our nofly zone after we have warned them to stay out, then they would be shot down. The fact is we need to have some clarity coming from the oval office and not, you know, 16 pages of rules of engagement that a pilot has to flip through before they make a decision on what with to do. You fly an american war plane, they have very clear rules of engage the and it would be made clear to russia what those rules were and if they decided to violate them, that is what a nofly zone means, dont fly and if they fly there their plane would get shot down. You indicated that that would indicate world war iii. Like senator paul they dont realize we are already in world war iii. I said this in a town hall last week. Where radical islamists are trying to destroy our way of life. If he doesnt understand we are already in that war its just another example of why he is so unfit to be president of the United States. But if russia is our ally against isis, could we be shooting down their planes . Because we are not engaged in world war iii with them. Youre assuming that russia is our ally in i think the secretary of state that makes it absolutely certain im right if the secretary of state thinks that. The fact russia has been dealing our lunch money the entire time from the Obama Administration from Hillary Clintons reset button to going into crimea and ukraine and propping up their puppet, assad. Russia is in syria along with iran to prop up assad. Governor, how would you get rid of assad . Listen. I think that is something that talks between our nato allies with us and our arab allies and coalition. But not russia . Listen, charlie, i know that youre obsessed with russia this morning and im just simply not. I dont think russia has earned the right. No, governor, youre the one talking about shooting down their planes. You asked about a nofly zone and that is the definition of a nofly zone. If that offends folks in the u. N. Crowd im sorry but America Needs to assert itself again and playing the weak hand this president has played with this country we have Russian Troops in crimea and create what has that created charlie, they are aligning with the oniansranians to create an iranian empire. Thank you for getting up with us this morning, governor christie. Appreciate it. John dickerson is in washington and he was at the he joins us this morning. Hello, john dickerson. Hello, gayle. How are you . Im really good. You said last nights debate was about flexing muscles. In your opinion was there a clear winner last night . Well, if its a strength contest and it pretty much was between all of the republican candidates, with the exception of senator paul, then that benefits donald trump. He is running on strength and promoting strength and the voters have shown they think he is the strongest of the candidates. The debate took place basically on his turf. If that is the case it was a good night for donald trump. Youre saying it might have changed something and added strength to donald trump, if it changed anything . Yeah. I dont think it really changed anything. He is at the top of the polls. People are looking to him for strength. That is what he has been running on. So i think it only it only helped him. He has disappeared a little bit in some of these debates which might have been a problem for him as voters started to think about the candidates as commander in chief. Again, took place on his turf so it was good for him. Jeb bush was the only one who appeared to take donald trump on. Did that work for him, do you think . I think it worked for jeb bush but only in a limited way. So it helped his fortunes, but, you know, for the mainstream republicans who are looking for a single candidate to get behind, they have got to pick between christie and bush and rubio and kasich and would like that choice but it didnt win as jeb bush does a a little bit better, it keeps him alive so the nontrump, noncruz candidates are still still too many of them for the mainstream republicans. It probably wont win until after new hampshire, will it . Well, thats right. Therefore, it could be too late. If the other candidate has a big head of steam by that time. What is the most important dynamic of this race right now, john . Well, i think there are two big dynamics to watch. One is trump cruz. They return to their armistice another and both realizing they are looking for the same kind of voters. Donald trump really pulling back because he has gotten some grief for going after ted cruz. The other dynamic is the split vote on the nontrumpcruz camp and keeps getting split. The better the moderate or mainstream candidates do the harder it is to finally coalesce around one. Them. John dickerson in washington, thank you. Defense secretary ash carter is in iraq for an unannounced visit. Morning. He there is talk to u. S. Commanders and iraqi leaders about the fight with isis. The defense secretary will explore new options to defeat the terror organizations. Carter is expected to discuss a plan to deploy a new american Commando Force and attack helicopters who battle isis. The faa is looking into how rolled off a taxiway and into a ditch.

A Terror Threat led local leaders to close all Public Schools yesterday in the nations second largest district. The fbi has determined it was not credible. Ben tracy is at the Los Angeles High School where critics are saying they overreacted. Reporter this high school been searched and nothing suspicious has been found and the doors will reopen to student today. Despite knowing this was not a credible threat, officials here in los angeles say they made the right call. We believe that our schools are safe. Reporter l. A. s Public School system is back in business, but city officials are defending the decision to shut down more than 1,000 schools on tuesday. If you knew what the superintendent and the school board knew at 5 30 this morning when the decision had to be made, would you have sent your child to school . All l. A. S. D. Schools have been shut down today. Reporter the decision to shut down schools impacted more than 64 on0,000 students. The threat came via email. The writer claimed he was part of a cell of 32 comrades threatening to use nerve agents i dont think it was an overreaction because i think everybody would have been really scared going back to school like knowing we had a thread. Reporter new york city received a similar email threat and kept its schools open. Police commissioner bill bratton was critical of the decision in los angeles. I think it was a significant overreaction. It is very easy, in hindsight, to criticize a decision based on the results that the decider could never have known. Reporter with the recent terrorist attack in nearby san bernardino, california, mayor Eric Garcetti said the citys nerves are raw. I think everybody, including our superintendent would probably rather be criticized for overreacting and nothing happening than vice versa. Reporter shutting down the schools was, obviously, a major inconvenience for students and parents, but the students and parents we talked to actually said they thought that officials made the right call. Law enforcement officials are trying to track down the person or persons who sent the emails that started all of this. Indeed. Ben, thank you very much. This morning Global Financial markets are bracing for the First Federal reserve rate hike in nearly a decade. It is a big day. And the fed is expected to lift shortterm Interest Rates to a range of between a quarter and a half percent. The central bank projects a series of increases over the next three years to more than 3 in 2008. Jill schlesinger is here. What is the impact to our economy . The good news if youre a saver and suffering for so long with low Interest Rates on your savings, checking and cds you will see the rates creep up so great news for savers. Borrower, the news is not a good. Youre going to see increased costs for credit cards, auto like an adjustable rate mortgage. Theoretically longer term Interest Rates heading higher and borrowers not so good. The key issue in the economy is growth. Will it help growth or not . The fed has kept rates this low for this long to propel growth. The idea of a rising Interest Rate is usually something that might impede growth. That is the worry. Or impede inflation . Right. Right now we are growing at about 2. 25 annualized the last few years but the fed thinks after seven years of rates at zero its time for the patient, the u. S. Economy, to come out of the emergency room and walk out of the hospital on its own. No more help. Yes, i dont need the chair, thank you very much. Exactly. When you sat down, jill, you said this is like the super bowl in the stanley cup for me today you were so excited. Why is this happening now and how can you get others as excited as you .

People still out of work but not lose onning hundreds of thousands of jobs every month and not seeing the economy strength. Its time no normize policy and im excited for today.

This week, fema sent more than 7,000 gallons of bottled water for the citys residents. Adriana diaz is there live this morning. Good morning. Reporter good morning. When officials tapped into the flint river here for the citys Drinking Water the strong chemicals needed to clean the water corroded the pipes and contaminating the water with lead. By the time the city switched back to its original water source, families here said the damage was already done. When i hear my son get up at night and cry because his bones hurt and there is nothing i can give him, there is nothing i can do for him to take away his pain, i feel completely helpless. Reporter for nearly five months, ma lisaelissa mays and her family drank the water from their tap unaware there was lead in it. Her three children. Convulsions and skin lesions and hair loss. The fact of the matter i handed them the glass of the water. Reporter last may, mays and other clint residents filed a class action lawsuit. In court papers they accuse state and local officials of not properly monitoring or sampling the splint river water and delaying and notifying the public of serious safety and health risks. They went on to call the citys deliberately false denials about the safety of the water deadly and arrogant. They continually said the water is safe to drink. Reporter the citys water problem started in the spring of 2014 when flint moved its water supply from a source in detroit to the flint river. The switch was supposed to save the city about 15 million a year, but the lead levels detected in flints children under the age of 5 nearly doubled. According to a study by a local medical center. In october, city officials declared unfiltered water unsafe to drink. Switch back to the original detroit water supply. Damage from lead is irrevers irreversible. Reporter the new mayor said when we made the switch to the flint water we damaged the pipes. We already have old infrastructure but no Corrosion Control in place.

This morning, a surrogate mother carrying triplets is refusing a request to the biological parents to abort one of the babies. Britt me appeared to be a surrogate for a couples two federalized embryos but one split and produced triplets and twin boys and a girl. The biological parents are asking her to abort the fetus and she is refusing and 17 weeks into her pregnancy in california. Cbs news legal expert Rikki Klieman joins us at the table to discuss. I think this is really tough, because the babies are not hers, but it is her body. What are the surge gats legal rights here . What youre dealing with here you have to remember this is commercial is your gassurrogacy. Youre saying there is a contract . You know im going to say there is a contract. Not only is there a contract, there is a contract and when youre dealing with california in particular which is known as a surrogacs friendly state, that must have legal representation that is separate. So each side should know what is going on. They mandate its notarized and to make people understand the formality and the seriousness of what they are signing. What you have here is a terribly emotional issue and really emotional. The heart of it, can the parents force the surrogate to have an abortion . Abin essence yes but let me finish it. They cant arrest her or bring borings. Ultimately psychologically and monetarily, they can, because what happens under the contract is they can stop paying, this is ramone deal, this is 30,000 for this young woman, and they could a child. Isnt there a provision about this in the contract . Yes, there is. And that is where, in this case, it gets a little sticky p. M. There is a provision in this what you can do is for medical reasons. Right. That the intended parents ask to abort. Now here, the parents say that doctors have told them that in the event of multiple births like three that they didnt expect that you could expect developmental disabilities. The surrogate says, look, my doctors say there is nothing wrong, but we dont know that ultimately there is nothing wrong. She thinks she will adopt the unwanted fetus and murkying up the water . What happens is you have a motion against business. How is this going to turn out, do you think . I think if the surrogate carrier really wants to keep this child, she ought to get her lawyers to go into court and try to get an injunction. If that doesnt happen, you have a mess on your hands financially. Rikki klieman, thank you very much. Conditioner used by millions productive hair loss . That is ahead.

More real new ahead, including the republican candidates fighting over National Security. We look at the key moments from last nights debate with gop chairman reins priebus. First, heres a look at todays eye opener at 8 00. You dont realize we are already in world war iii. Another example why he is unfit to be president. If its a strength contest and pretty much was, then that benefits donald trump. He is running on strength. I know he youre trying to build up your energy, jeb, but its not working. Defense secretary ash carter is in iraq for an unannounced visit. The faa is looking into how a Southwest Airlines plane rolled into a dichl. You just wonder what happened . Did we hit somebody . This high school and more than 1,000 like it have now been searched and nothing suspicious has been found and that is why these doors back there will reopen to students today. The fed thinks its time for the patient, the u. S. Economy, to come out of the emergency room and walk out of that hospital on its own. Charlie showed up wearing my Christmas Card this morning. Very nice card showing the three kids. Really . Did you see him wearing it earlier . No. Im just reacting i didnt get a Christmas Card. Maybe you didnt check your mail last night like charlie did. Norah, im no longer speaking to you. Speaking of charlie rose, please continue. Announcer this portion of cbs this morning sponsored by progressive. Im in the middle of a war. No. This is the part we sing we are family. Go ahead. Im charlie rose with gayle king and norah odonnell. A bundle of love. Candidates came out swinging in the final Republican Debate of 2015. They met on stage last night in las vegas. The questions of toughness and resolve dominated the evening. Sharp words were thrown candidates. We are not talking about religion. We are talking about security. If we are going to ban all muslims, how are we going to get them to be part after coalition to destroy isis . He is a kichaos candidate and he would be achaos president. He has failed in his campaign. Its a total disaster. Nobody cares. Would you carpet bomb iraq, the isis capital, raqqa, where there are a lot of civilianses . Yes or no. You would carpet bomb where isis not a city but the location of the troops. Way, a budget that is called a containment budget and a budget that could would radically reduce the amount of money we spend on our military. You cant carpet bomb isis if you dont have planes and bombs to attack them with. Marco has continued these attacks and knows they are not true. The middle east has been in turmoil for thousands of years. For us to think that we are going to go in there and fix that with a couple of little bombs and a few little decorations is relatively foolish. The middle east is totally destabilized, a total and complete mess. I wish we had the 4 trillion or 5 trillion and i wish it was spent here in the United States. Im amazed to hear from that a republican president ial candidate. For the russian we need to punch them in the nose. I would talk to vladimir listen, mr. President , nofly zone in syria. We would shut them down if they think this is the president is the same one we have in the oval office right now. I think if youre in favor of world war iii you have your candidate. I think a candidate who wants world war iii somebody might shut down a bridge because they dont like their friends. Are you open to closing parts of the internet . I sure as hell dont want to let people that want to kill us and kill our nation use our internet. Yes, i am. Is donald trump a serious candidate . The reason i ask this is if youre going to close the internet, realize america what that entails. That entails getting rid of the First Amendment. If you are going to kill the families of terrorists, realize that there is something called the geneva convention. So they could kill us, but we with us now from las vegas is reins priebus, the chairman of the Republican National committee. Thank you for having me on. We see donald trump is the National Leader in the leading caucus and primary contests. Are you i highly doubt it. I think most likely we will have a presumptive nominee by mid april. End of march but probably mid april. You know, its because the way the primary rules are set. Its pretty difficult to get to a contested convention, but certainly if that happened, we will be prepared but its highly unlikely. Was there a dinner where you discussed this with a lot of other republicans about how to deal with such a convention . Not really. I mean, the idea that ill call a in washington, d. C. , to discuss the idea of engineering a brokered convention, which you cant really do, it either happens or it doesnt, is ridiculous. So this is a routine dinner that we do every month and im a part of it, and in 20 minutes in the twohour meeting, people were asking questions about primary rules which would bore all of your viewers to tears if i got into some of it. But really, its a bunch of nothing is what it is. I beg to differ. Primary rules as you know matter a great deal. You happen to change a lot of them for the 2012 elections and many people argue that barack obama is president of the United States than Hillary Clinton because he understood the primary rules a lot better than her. Because of what . Because of primary rules and how to win in different primaries. Um. Youre saying Hillary Clinton lost because of their primary rules . What im just saying you just said primary rules are not very important but they are clearly very important. Oh, of course of course, they are really important but people asking questions about how does the winner take all primary work and what happens on super tuesday and how many delegates are awarded on march 1st, those are innocent questions that norm people ask. Got you. Its not a meeting to discuss how we are going to overthrow the whole process and take over a convention. That is absurd and i know youre doing the right thing by asking the questions. Im not opposed to that. Its that particular narrative is just ridiculous. May i just ask one question . Is there with some of the comments that came after donald trump made his comment about banning muslims come coming into the country temporarily, is there a serious discussion amongst people in the party youre chairman of who believe he would be disastrous for the party and, therefore, they must do something to stop him from winning the nomination . Not with me. Im sure im sure other campaigns are going to figure out how to win the praer butimary. But that is their job and 13 candidates up there and trying to figure out how to be the nominee of our party. Clearly, we have a frontrunner but i think even donald trump would tell you its early and nobody is taking anything for granted right now. Without talking about the timetable, are there things that come out of his mouth, mr. Priebus, that sometimes youre sitting there with your mouth open shaking your head and saying, boy, i wish he hadnt said that. Not particularly. You know what . Ive been through this as well. Four years ago was the same thing. I remember im not just saying this to skirt the question. Im just telling you four years ago i was in the same place and people saying we are going to have a contested convention and gingrich and mitt romney. Ive been through this. My job is to make sure we have got a much better and far more confident National Party when it comes to the ground game, the data operation, the turnout, the registration. I mean, a lot of boring mechanics, but really at the heart of what a confident National Committee needs to be and that is my job and that is what im focused on. After the 2012 election, you called for the most comprehensive postelection review in the history of any National Party. You did an autopsy of why your party lost and i went back to find the findings. It does not matter what we say about education and jobs and economy if the hispanics dont think we should be here they would close their ears to the policy. Is that still a concern of yours today . Well, sure, but part of our problem, as a party, was because of the way Congressional Senate and state assembly districts. If youre not in in a daily basis in black and hispanic communities kroog the country showing up isnt going to solve the problem. What you saw at the beginning of 2014 was where we almost won the hispanic vote in kromt and got 28 of the black vote in ohio and it was a combination of yes, being good on the issues but also saturating communities with republicans that are offering a different vision, better jobs, choice on education, and that kind of message works. That is what im talking about. People can write all of the books in the world about messaging and how to do a better job but if you dont actually have a conduit in the community delivering that message, its not going to change. And so that is really what that report was all about. Thank you very much, reince priebus. Thank you, sir, very much. You bet. Hurt a lot when he wasnt saying game. I think marco gets it completely wrong. Prime minister netanyahu. We do need our defense capability. Senator cruz . Come in and take advantage of that situation. You know . This president is not trusted. Well, if you might imagine, all that coughing kicked up a physician on twitter and viewers called it distractive and a running count of the coughs. West wing actor rob lowe tweeted the following. He wasnt buying but it was ben carson making most of the noise. According to his campaign his Communications Director told cbs this morning that carson was not sick, just working through his cough. The cough is almost gone. Did you notice the coughing . I actually didnt. I didnt either. I didnt notice it either. Maybe when with you isolate really didnt. Rob lowe did. Did you know a sneeze can blast 26 feet . Dr. Holly phillips is in our toyota green room announcer this portion of cbs progressive. Kennedy Center Honoree act res cicely tyson opens up to us ahead. Her marriage and her surprising answers to story of the tumultuous relationship. That is ahead on cbs this morning.

Holly phillips is how coals colds are so common. Why are they so common . The common cold is an infection. Our upper respiratory tract and caused by a virus. The reason its common 200 strains of virus that cause common cold symptoms. Interestingly, most adults dont actually get the same common cold twice. But because there are so many easy to get two or three brandnew colds a year and kids get between eight and ten. They spread so easily. One is through respiratory droplets through the air. Really interesting video showing what they call a high propulsion after sneeze cloud. You can see from one person sneezing. Holly, that is just gross is that coming from someones mouth . That is a sneeze coming out of their nose. That is gross. It projects 26 feet and can fill a room within minutes. Even though that is gross, the main way we get colts saints through the air but from touching things on surfaces and then touching our face. You touch your eyes, nose and mouth and that is what introduces a cold into your system. How many times an hour do you think people touch their face, dr. Phillips . Hour. We dont know what we are doing it. Right. The common cold is hardy. If you bring it up to your nose and mouth and latches on immediately and within 15 minutes its in your system. One of the ways its overlooked for prevent a cold is sleep. Research finds people who sleep i know im talking to not the biggest sleepers here. But sleeping just five or six hours a night increases your chance of getting a cold by four times. Compared with people who sleep seven hours or more. So seven is the critical number. Try and get it and youll fight off colds. Else. Thank you, holly. So nice of you. Christmas. Dont practice what i preach but that is the science. Thank you very much, dr. Holly phillips.

So we really saw that spike at that point in time. Not like we were wondering what happened to him but when we lost him it became interesting to people. These are spiking, trending searches.

Perhaps not surprising that donald trump is on the list. Some relative unknowns. Most searched or trending or for what . Trending. Bernie sanders and ben carson relatively unknown before this political circle but Hillary Clinton is not on that list. What does that mean . I think it says people knew a good bit about her beforehand and maybe she didnt have a big moment in the spotlight and people turned to search for her perhaps on the benghazi hearings but she is maybe more known than the other candidates.

Reporter they say it was tumultuous, that it was difficult. What do they know . Reporter what do they know, oh, yeah. They are assuming it was because of the kind of reputation that they perceived was this man. You know . Reporter the reputation the alcoholism, the drugs, the women. Yes, all of that kind of stuff.
