First, heres a look at todays eye opener at 8 00. He is making up for lost time ande hn eve questioned whether she should be running for president at all. New york values and what do they anme . Not surprisingly, to new york voters. That is tough terrain for ted cruz. Lyin ted cruz came today. He. He couldnt draw a hundred people, im telling you. Firefighters are preparing to head bac tk torohe fnt lines. Again and that is the biggest obstacle. Merle haggard will be greatly missed in the capital of country music.

Bernie sanders congratulated the uconn Womens Basketball team for waning their fourth ncaa title in a row. Now its time to break them up four is too many for one team announcer this portion of cbs this morning sponsored by nationwide. Im charlie rose with gayle king and norah odonnell. The democratic president ial race is turning sharper and more last night, for the first time that he doesnt think Hillary Clinton is qualified to be president. She has been saying, lately, that she thinks that i am, quote unquote, not qualified to be president. I dont believe that she is qualified. I dont think that you are qualified if you get 15 Million Dollars from wall street through your super pac. I dont think you are qualified if you have voted for the disastrous war in iraq. I dont think you are qualified if youve supported virtually every disastrous trade agreement which has cost us millions of decent paying jobs. Clintons press secretary quickly tweeted, quote, Hillary Clinton did not say that Bernie Sanders was not qualified. But he has now absurdly said it about her. This is a new low. He added the taket bernie. Its just as rough we should say on the republican side. Donald trump is trying to bounce back in the New York Primary after losing in wisconsin. He reminded voters in his home state of something ted cruz said about them. Do you remember during the debate when he started lecturing me on new york values . Like we are no good. Like we are no good. Ive got this guy standing over there looking at me, talking about new york values with scorn on his face, with hatred, with hatred of new york. So, folks, i think you can forget about him. Cruz tried to explain that criticism, saying he was talking about new york liberal values but his campaign tripped to the bronx was met by protesters. Major garrett has followed the republicans for months and we are happy to have him here in studio 57. Did everybody get you a warm breakfast and nice cup of coffee . I love dont forget the Fried Chicken and waffles how could anyone forget that . Its not sunny side up for the republican campaign. What is going on inside the Trump Campaign . Voters dont care much about campaign intrigue, especially trump voters. Ill say that up front. It matters right now for the state of the Trump Campaign. Because it is going through a bit of a crisis of organization and internal identity. You talk to Trump Supporters who work at the state level, they want a more coherent and cohesive structure and they want a budget and know what they can do and what the lines of authority are. Trump is trying to clarify that. Paul manafort is coming on ford fully and in charge of the d. C. Operations and all delegate acquisition for the Trump Campaign. Corey lewandowski will keep his job and remain as a body man for donald trump and focus on wing all of the primaries and caucuses on the calendar here. Coreys job is going to be important but he has to share the role now with and interesting to see forward. Trump met with hours with manafort yesterday and gave a paul is the kind of guy he is running against the republican establishment. Lobbyist and bigtime washington insider. But for the Trump Campaign they need someone who has been through this process before opinion professional athletes talk all the time success means slowing the game down and politics is the same way. President ial Campaign Come at awe a mile a minute. You need someone at the top can calm things down and reassure people to stick with the plan and carry it out. When youre the guy like Corey Lewandowski and traveling all around the country you cant do the tasks that this do you think donald trump will take advice from anyone . He seems to take his own counsel very seriously. This is the key part of the Trump Campaign future. The maturation of a Political Campaign and those around trump who believe in him say he did this as a businessman and he is going to have to do it as a political leader. Major, thank you.

Time magazine called Chris Van Hollen a hero to environmentalists, education groups, and gun control advocates for his accomplishments as a young legislator. Now a respected leader in congress and key ally of president obama, protecting planned parenthood and social security. Chris van hollen is the only candidate who fought the wall street banks and the nra. And won. Thats why hes endorsed by the post as the talented successor to senator mikulski who will deliver results. Im Chris Van Hollen, and i approve this message. Cnn anchor Anderson Cooper is in the middle of the action this political season, interviewing the candidates and taking voters inside the issues. Now he is taking us all inside of one of americas most famous families, his own. Anderson and his mom Gloria Vanderbilt open up in a new book called the rainbow comes goes a mother and son on life, love and loss. He talks about losing his father and his brother. Ive grown my entire life thinking im exactly like my dad. I look a lot like him, but i realize now im very much my moms son and i we are a lot a like in lof ways. Some people are sucked under by tragedy and loss. And it destroys them. And some people, it propels them forward and i think it certainly has my mom and it certainly has with me. Gloria vanderbilt famous since her birth 92 years ago, wow. To the multibillion dollar vanderbilt family with a custody lawsuit at the age of 10. Who doesnt have those jeans . I loved those so much. Gloria and anderson join us both at the table. Good to see you. T me with such longing. Neither of my parents were here. I think whoever reads this say i need to do this with my parents. Anderson, you said for a long time you didnt want anyone to know you were not your mothers son. She was not a convention mother to you. Yeah. A long time i wanted people to know me as me and when i started a career i didnt want people thinking the name vanderbilt has such baggage and history with it and im very glad i dont have that name. My mom never felt much connection to the vanderbilt family and i certainly didnt. I felt much connected to the cooper side which is a family from mississippi and poor family my dad grew up in. I wanted that in my career. One day, i think one of the happiest days of my mom. She called me up and said somebody referred to me as Anderson Coopers mom. How did the book come about . We always email back and forth because anderson is on the road so much. And how did it basically, i decided when my mom turned 91, you know, i realized when my dad died when i was 10 i always had this fantasy has had he maybe written me a letter that showed up someday when i turned 18 or 21. And telling me all of the things i didnt know about him. And all of the things he wanted for my life. Of course, there was no letter. But i realized when my mom turned 91 she had a brief illness and i didnt want there to be that same feeling with my mom. I didnt want there to be anything left unsaid between us. I think many Adult Children want that have an aging parent and, you know, dont really know fully about their parent and its nice to be able to, late in life, change your relationship with your parent and i think for an adult to change their relationship with their child. And so it came about as through email largely. But it was all about trying to leave nothing unsaid between us. Gloria, you talked to me 20 years ago in 1996. I cant believe it that far back take a look at you talking then about your life. Here it is. I think without pain, we cant know what joy is. And that is very sustaining for me, because that is what life is, and without that, if we dont have pain, we dont have joy, and if we dont have pain, we dont know that were alive. Boy. You have seen pain and joy. Yeah. I think you were a young reporti reporter and glad you got that great first big interview. It was. Gloria, you talk very candidly about the pain in the movie and the book and you talk to charlie, the death of your husband and the suicide of your son in front of you and a victim of a child custody battle when you were 10. As anderson says, youre strong and not tough but as a reslt nes still vulnerable and very present and looking for love even now. Absolutely. How do you do that . I think its in ones nature to be that way or not. And i think its in my nature to i dont know. I mean, i just im hopeful. I mean, i think Something Wonderful is going to happen. Youve had many lovers. Youve had many lovers, Gloria Vanderbilt and you write about that. Errol flynn and Howard Hughes. And the Howard Hughes. Not like Leonardo Dicaprio Howard Hughes. Well, better better, yes it has been a romantic life for you . Yes. Absolutely. Im always in love. And i think everybody should always be in love and if its not a person a person is ideal, but if not, you have to have joy and looking at a flower and the s you say the next great love is right around the corner . Yes, i do. I really do. And its going to happen when it happens, ill tell but it. Please do. Yes. What was the learning experience for you in this book, anderson . You know, i think there is something any adult kid can have with their parent and i think with anybody in your life, its never too late to change the relationship in your life. You just have to put aside past resentmentses or embarrassments or all of the things we have with parents and see the person in a new way. I learned through the writing of this book, which is essentially a conversation between us, between the time she was 91 and her 92nd birthday how similar we are. I always thought i was my dads son and we look alike, but my mom and i both have the same drive and same sort of relentless determination to move through whatever befalls us. I seem to have one of the coolest moms too, anderson. No doubt. But you said you had trepidation about telling your mom that you were gay and you thought your mom would be so open to that. I knew my mom ultimately would be cool with it because i remember something said to me when i was 11. She always had a lot of gay friends and one director was coming over with his partner nick and i remember asking about them. She said, they are a married couple and this was 1979. Most of the world did not think of a gay couple then as a married couple. But, you know, my mom my moms mom, my grandmother was accused of being a lesbian at the height of this custody battle and a thing at the time and a big scandal. You talked about your mother inviting you to the dinner table. Absolutely. You werent an adult so you met all thefs friends. That was the amazing thing about my mom raised both my mother and i, he were a part of the conversation. We were at the dinner table. There wasnt a kids table. My mom took us everywhere. She took me to studio when i was 11 and 12 what were you thinking . Well, now, explain. One was for a no, one was for her business was having a party there. Grace jones was performing so she wanted me to see that. The second was sidney lament, the premiere of the whiz. Was charlie there . No. It was one of your rare nights off. I think its understanding you called anderson, andy. Occasionally you said to andy, the longer you live the more brilliantly you will soar. Thats what you say about your son. Could you quickly tell us about the report card . Looks like this would reveal things. We were talking about this before we went on the air that my ive been going through these boxes that forms the hbo film that is starting on saturday nothing left unsaid. Its me going through the box my mom has in storage for years. Beyond the letters from hurried hughes and frank Howard Hughes is my kindergarten report card. I urge everyone to find their kindergarten report card. It spells it out. The teacher wrote, anderson apologize his friendships with all of the boys and apologize tries to get their attention by bringing in costumes and toys im like, she saw something early on anderson is still doing it the attention to all of the boys and tries to get their attention. Thank you Anderson Cooper and Gloria Vanderbilt. The book goes on sale tomorrow and the hbo documentary is premiering on saturday. You can join a live chat with Vladimir Duthiers on cbsn. You are your mothers son. And im happy and lucky to be that. Ahead, we look into the holiday phenomenon that on another. The news is back youre watching cbs this morning.

Michelle miller is at the brooklyn brewery in new york to give us a hint about the latest special occasion. Good morning reporter good morning.

Reporter he says businesses are taking advantage of social media platforms and even the smallest marketing opportunities on the most random of days. You know, you dont have to run a tv campaign.

I have a driver. His name is carl. But thats not what we all have in common. We talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto®. Xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. Xarelto® is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. You know, taking warfarin, i had to deal with that blood testing routine. I couldnt have a healthy salad whenever i wanted. I found another way. Yeah, treatment with xarelto®. Hey, safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Ding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto® is the number one prescribed blood thinner in its class. Well that calls for a round of kevin nealons. Make mine an arnold palmer. Same here. With xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. Ask your doctor about xarelto®. The 80thte way this morning in augusta, georgia. There year, marks the 60th anniversary of cbss first masters broadcast. The world of golf, a thrilling final hole mark the masters at augusta. In 1956, this Network Broadcast just two and a half hours of coverage over three days. It only showed the final four holes. Things are a bit different six decades later. The 2016 tournament began moments ago with the honorary ceremony featuring three of the greatest masters champions. Im billy payne, chairman of Augusta National golf club. We want to welcome all of you this morning to this very special way that we begin our tournament every year. The tradition of the honorary starters means so much to all of see these wonderful gentlemen is, indeed, a special treat. Three great champions, three men who have combined for an almost unbelievable 13 masters titles. Not driving this year, but forever a part of the masters tradition, please join me in a welcome, a salute and a heartfelt thank you to our fourtime masters champion mr. Arnold palmer. Next, we welcome back from south africa, golfs great global ambassador, a threetime masters champion who competed in a record 52 masters tournaments. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome mr. Gary player. Gary, the tee is yours wow next on the tee, we proudly welcome, once again, our sixtime masters champion, a man whose record at the masters remains unmatched even to this day. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome mr. Jack nicklaus. Ladies and gentlemen, the 2016 masters has now officially begun. Have fun thank you. How great is that . Jim nantz of cbs sports is at Augusta National golf club and his 33rd year of calling the masters on cbs. Good morning. Good morning, charlie, gayle, norah. Its great. One of the my favorite moments to watch the tournament get started with that history on the tee. This is the 80th masters. A bit cold and windy. What are you looking for this year . This tournament has a way of really kind of writing a script end setting the stage for the last year, no one was really saying this was going to be Jordan Spieths tournament and he went out on thursday, shot a 64, never let go of the lead. In fact, went all the way to record setting performance at 18 under par, tied tigers tournament record, and established himself as the next great thing in the game. They backed it up winning the u. S. Open. You know, we are in a really interesting time for the sport. You know . Its a time where we got a lot of megatalents and young kids can play the game from all over the globe. The expansion of the popularity of the sport is an amazing thing to see and its led by this young brigade all ready to pounce on this first major of the year. Is there a crowd favorite . Im very smitten with bubba watson and i like Jordan Spieth too. Really smitten about that bubba. Is there a crowd favorite out there . You know, i think Phil Mickelson is always a very popular guy around here, gayle, because he has won it three times and now, you know, hes in his 40s. That doesnt mean he cant any more. In fact, he is playing really well. Id actually be surprised if he wasnt there on sunday right in the middle of things and he would have a lot of support. I would say, you know, phil, around here, is enormously popular and bubba was won this tournament twice in the last four years, so bubba watson, if he won it again, i think a lot of people would say, man, that doesnt shock me. Jim, the number one player in the world jason day. Number two, Jordan Spieth, the defending champ. I love what Jordan Spieth said about jason day. He said when jason is on, he is on. And when he is off, he is still on. Yes. Does he play well at augusta . He has finished second here before. He won the last major. Been eight months since we all gathered in wisconsin and won the pga championship and went on an incredible roll. He has the ability when he gets going looks like he can dominate the sport in his prime. Another guy, maybe your question here and watch out for this week because not generating a lot of talking going in and that is rory. Rory mcilroy sat last year on the sidelines and had an injury. He watched how Jordan Spieth and jason day kind of took over the top of the sport. He was never healthy. He just needs this one major now to complete that career grand slam, having won all four legs of golfs major championships. That has only happened five times by five players in the history of the sport. By guys like Jack Nicklaus and tiger woods. So rory mcilroy put himself in the absolute top bracket alltime. He would be up there with those iconic names if he won this week. I think that is the guy im watching more than anyone. Yeah. The Odonnell Family is rooting for the guy from northern ireland, i can tell you that. Youre keeping your eye on a 22yearold amateur as well . I am. Bryson deshchambeau. From the fresno area in studied engineering at smu and has a scientific kind of analyst cal way of approaching the sport. He has this obsession of trying to win this tournament as an am tour. This tournament was created by the greatest amateur player of all time, bobby jones. His dream, some year, sometime for an amateur to win it. Bryson is turning pro after this ends and he is going to be one of the next big things in this sport. He has spent the last six months of his life focused on this one tournament. He has played in some major events around the world and done very well and ready to pounce and we will see. He is playing with Jordan Spieth and playing an hour from now so i cant wait to see what happens. Will the weather make a difference for any particular players . It will. We will have wind here. Its going to be gorgeous and bright and sunny but the wind is the xfactor in golf and its supposed to be very gusty. I know youre getting it in new york and we are going to get it here and could gut up to 40mileanhour at times and will dry up the greens and affect every shot out here. I dont know who favors or hurts but things will be hard to make a lot of birdies. For the second time in three years, tiger woods isnt going to be there because of health issues. We heard earlier this week. What are you hearing about his return, if anything at all . He will be back. Im absolutely convinced, gayle, hell be back. He has been, i think, smartly this time not rushing back to competitive golf. You know, when he is going to come back now, he is going to make sure he is 100 and his body is ready to go and this is not the last we have heard of him. Hes not retiring. He will be back. And i would say that, you know, i really truly dont have any insight on how soon it will be but he is hitting drivers and hitting the big clubs in the bag and i would say some point this summer will be my guess hell be back in competition and it will be great to have him back. Jim nantz, thank you so much. Cbs coverage of the masters tournaments begins 3 00 eastern 2 00 central on cbs. Jim, charlie is coming out there on saturday did we lose jim nantz . Okay.
