>> he didn't, and many here at the white house never thought joe biden would run for president, even though those who thought he might thought he would have announced early october at the very latest. when he didn't, many believed it was just a matter of time before joe biden made that announcement that he wouldn't seek the presidency. there was growing restlessness about the deliberations. that came to a head earlier this week when the white house was forced to deal with questions about what the did the vice president tell president obama right before the osama bin laden raid? how much power did he have in veto power over cabinet picks. put the white house in an awkward position when it's relieved now to be out of. >> i was curious to see what the inner circle, how they were feeling about the process, and you touched on that. we saw a picture that pete released showing him and the president, president obama and joe biden apparently working on the speech. were you surprised to see president obama at his side when he came out yesterday? >> not at all because these two have been in tandem from the very beginning. one of the reasons that president obama picked joe biden as running mate, he believed he had great political instincts and he didn't think he was that hyperambitious about seeking the presidency. that's one of the reasons joe biden is vice president. because president obama did not want to have a democratic vice president he always had to worry about being a potential successor. joe biden did give this a lot of serious thought, but in the end, he knew the calendar and the pathway to victory simply argued against him. >> go ahead. >> what do you think was at the heart of some of the remarks that some took as a veiled reference to hillary clinton and how she's running her campaign? >> i think what joe biden wanted to do, he had a stage he'd never have again, say something on behalf of the president's agenda and the accomplishments he and president obama put before the nation. because he knows bernie sanders and to a certain degree hillary clinton are moving away from that saying this president hasn't been aggressive enough, joe biden's point he has and and democrats ought to be more thankful. youtube is betting users will pay to play its videos and music's add free. youtube red costs $9.99 a month, it allows users to save videos to watch offline and gives access to a new music app. >> viewers can also watch new original programming from youtube's biggest stars like swooed ib gamer, the cast of college humor and blogger lily sing. nicholas thompson is editor of the noker.com. nick, good morning. >> good morning. >> will you make revenue?

>> they do make money from ads, but those on youtube, people can close them and people do close them. the content cost, the streaming cost, infrastructure cost versus the ad revenue, they've never had a great model. >> who's the main source? >> it is pack to. facebook video has been soaring and that has youtube scared. the main competition for this new offering, a um can have things, one of the most interesting is the music bit. people spend more time listening to music on youtube than anything else. >> that surprises me. this is a competitor to that. once you get rid of the ads, people might see it as a replacement. you can have youtube video >> hasn't this always been the conundrum, one of the most valuable websites out there, it has such a young demographic. my kids know youtube, they don't watch general television, they watch everything on youtube. and yet, they have not found a way to monetize this incredible viewership that they have. >> right. >> and because they can't monetize it, they can't pay the stars. they're worried about the stars leaving. at their last big effort to increase the quality was to go with traditional tv players and pull them on to youtube and offer them money. that didn't work. this is a total pivot, what they're doing is saying you know what, let's cultivate the stars. let's put them behind a pay wall, let's try to build them up, let's keep them here. this is a new strategy in that sense. >> thanks, nick. good to see you. >> good to be here. brain surgery may only be starting to solve our greatest health challenges ahead. brian gumball with how one big leap could happen on live tv this weekend. also find out what's his favorite announcer: this portion of "cbs liberty mutual. >> i go, what is tracy going to think?

>> so i did not say bye bye until i finally adopted my dog enzo. and he left the front door open and the dog ran out in the front street, now the dog did not get hit, but at that moment, i realize it's time to go. >> isn't it interesting it took for him to do something egregious to the dog to say -- >> i know. but it's funny, because at that time, that does mark a significant transition in me. in who i was becoming. >> and she credits another boyfriend and future husband, for making her love of animals the focus of her life. it also cleared the way for you to really find to do what you wanted to do too. >> yes. >> because what he was saying to me is, you love animals, you've told me that you dreamed of being a veterinarian when you were young, i still can't figure out why you're not doing that. become a technician. >> the the marriage and your children of course all has to do with a cow. >> so we went up, upstate and we worked on a farm, when we got there, there was a cow that was down, and she was pregnant, and they couldn't get her up and the farmer said, i know of another farmer who has a trailer, and he picked the cow up and put it in a pond, and massaged the legs until the blood was circulateing again. >> but you also were involved too?

>> it's a big responsibility. >> tell us what you found out about cash. >> well, this is a very interesting survey, because we found that people around the globe, this is 31,000 people around the globe in the survey, are more optimistic about their financial future and they actually know what they need to do, but they are not doing anything about it. and so we see that because people are sitting more in cash than ever before. and cash is not going to get you where you need to get to in retirement. >> so they are being conservative even thorough optimistic about the future. why? >> well, for different groups. financial crisis and they saw what can happen and some of them saw their homes decline 50%, some saw their assets decline 50%. they remember every single time they lost money. the millennials didn't have a lot of assets and are investing and they are spending most of the time on their computer is about financial advice and financial information. they are actually investing in the future. and a lot of people are also nervous and staying in cash because it's a security blanket. and they are very nervous about a lot of the headlines and they just don't want to be in that position again. >> well, we know where it is and we know how much we got, that is why there is something very comfort baggage that when you have cash. you're saying not a smart thing to do? >> or we need it right away and we have it. >> go under the mattress and pull it out, rob. >> what did you learn about men and women? >> it's very complicated because people know they are going to when did living longer become a problem? instead of spending ten years in retirement, you're going to spend 14 to 18 and they haven't saved enough. so what is interesting about savings is there is a difference between men and women. men are actually starting to save. women are not saving as much as men and the reason for that is because they control the household financials. they would rather spend today on their children than put away for their own retirement. >> i wouldn't say -- i honestly wouldn't say it's a choice. i mean, of course, you're going to spend on your children. honestly. it's like am i going to get my kids new shoes and new backpack for school or save money? i'm going to buy my kid the money because they knee shoes for school. >> but you need to save for retirement because you're living much longer. maybe if you take care of your kids as well they will allow you to move back in with them because you're going to need to move back in with them. she used to say that all the time! >> the average person claims that they need 45,000 dollars of income for retirement. and if you take their assets today and what it's generating becae ey have so much 9,000. there is a 36,000 dollar gap and you cannot make up that gap by staying in cash. >> where should we invest? >> without respect to stocks or particular things, give us the rules that you think work in terms of what you do. >> so everyone's risk profile is different. your age is different. but, in general, most people in the early stages of their life should be 65% in equities and 35% in bonds and very little in cash. over your lifetime, that equity percentage declines and the bond percentage increases. today, the average household has 65% to 70% cash. you can't invest for the future in the future and what we are trying to create awareness about, it's not timing the market. it's time in the market. so people need to get invested today, especially the millennials. the millennials are actually doing this. they are spending time. they realize they need to use technology, but they also realize they need advice and they are actually going and getting advice and they are teaching the next generations how to do this. >> rob kapito, always good advice from you. thank you for joining us in the studio. this morning we continue our high school honor roll series celebrating super bowl number 50. retired running back and recent hall of fame inductee jerome bettis helped the steelers win the super bowl trophy. he came back home to the high school campus where he once stood. james brown, host of "the nfl on today" takes us to treat. >> reporter: earlier this this year, jerome bettis became a new inductee into the nfl hall of fame. >> i want to take you on a bus ride. >> reporter: that bus ride started at mckenzie high school where bettis made quite an impression. >> i was sitting at my desk and doing some paper work and i heard a knock on the door. coach, my name is jerome bettis and i want to play football for you. i saw this kid that looked like a black superman. my reply to his question was, hell yes, son, you can play for me. >> reporter: by his senior year, bettis was one of the best high school players in the country. >> 235 pounds, fullback and linebacker runs 4.5, 40. >> i was the number one fullback in the country and i was the number two linebacker. i was a better linebacker than i was a running back. know, a lot of ups and downs. we had some good players, but we weren't able to ever accomplish the ultimate goal, you know, in terms of winning it all. >> reporter: after 13 seasons in the nfl, bettis' hall of fame football career ended right back where it started. >> three-yard touchdown run by the bus! and it's on to detroit for super bowl xl! >> you're going home! >> reporter: with his hometown of motown watching, bettis finally won that elusive title. >> i played this game to win a championship. i'm a champion. and i think the bus is the last stop is here in detroit. >> reporter: with his golden football in hand, the bus stopped by his alma mater to inspire the next generation of mckenzie stags. >> i sat in these same seats, just like you. i went to mckenzie. so it's not impossible for you all to dream big. it's not. because that is w people make mistakes. like paying too much for wireless. so switch to u.s. cellular and we guarantee we'll beat the price on your current verizon or at&t plan. that's right, guaranteed to beat. plus, right now we'll give you a $150 promo card when you switch. don't let your next mistake be missing out. switch to u.s. cellular today for a price that's guaranteed to beat your verizon or at&t plan. if you think storm damage is the only cost of climate change, think again. from the rising price of food to higher insurance rates for homes and businesses, the economic damage will only get worse. but with american-made clean energy, we can save money on electricity and spur innovation to create new businesses and jobs. it all starts with 50% clean energy by 2030. you guys stay well and healthy and enjoy the journey. >> good luck. >> thank you so much. i appreciate that. i always say this is not a right and it's not really a job. it's more of a privilege and i appreciate that very much. i really do. thank you. >> indeed, it is a privilege. bryant gumbel on his last day of cbs' "the early show." this morning he is getting ready to host a different kind of live event for the first time on american television. doctors will perform live brain surgery. the patient volunteered after they are related to early onset parkinson's disease. >> putting transit in the brain. pretty scary stuff. walk with a cane. >> bryant will guide viewers through the two-hour surgery on sunday. pleased to have you here. >> nice to see that old video?

live cameras? i'm a little worried about this. bryant, everybody knows they are on camera. >> right. let me dismiss some of your fears. the surgery has been done on 80,000 people and it's elective surgery. yes, every surgery has if you're thinking we are doing this live because the hook is will the patient live or die, you're going to be sadly disappointed. >> the doctor is not playing one. >> right. we are talking about a surgical team of eight people. two neurosurgeons and another guy who is going to do the mapping. anototr neurosurgeon will dot mapping sosohey will be taking turns. we won't necessarily be speaking with the surgeon who is doing we are respecting their views. >> by the way, i had a conversation with matt. >> matt who? >> matt lauer. >> i told matt i would be here this morning. he said, y? i explained. he said, oh, cool. >> did you tell him you're watching our show this morning? he knows that. >> matt is a very smart guy. >> he is, indeed. estimation too. surgery will last for two hours. >> the surgery will actually last about six hours. we will have the two hours that we think the viewers will most learn from. >> is this a one. time only event?
