chris christie is fifth. the poll came out as trump defending use a rude word to describe hillary clinton's first presidential run. trump tweeted last night that media reporting was, quote, demonstrated, he said that the word was not vulgar and only meant that clinton was beaten badly. major garrett has reaction from both campaigns. >> reporter: good morning. hillary clinton described trump as a bully, a dangerous one at that, whose campaign will probably continue to inspire isis recruitment. >> his bigotry, his bluster, have become his campaign. >> reporter: hillary clinton said she wasn't surprised by gop questionable use of this yiddish term. >> she was favored to win and she got [ bleep ]. >> reporter: hillary clinton criticized his unfiltered campaign style. >> it is not the kind of style somebody running for president of the united states should be using. >> she's great at being the victim, the victimology status. it's not a sign of strength to insult people with profanity. >> reporter: ted cruz is also showing momentum nationally, drawing within 4 points of trump in the latest quinnipiac poll. >> this is turning more and more into a two-man race between donald trump in me. we're seeing the washington establishment in utter disarray because the american people are >> reporter: with cruz's climb in the polls has come increased scrutiny. this "washington post":" cartoon drew cruz's wrath, satirizing this cruz commercial using his children. cruz demanded that "the washington post" leave his children alone, adding his league." the "washington most" depended the cartoon at first, then said it didn't live up to its standards and retracted it. marco rubio tweeted that the cartoon was, quote, disgusting. cruz's campaign asked for donations saying, "they attacked my children." targeting the southern u.s. they're capable of producing tornadoes and damaging winds. storms have already sit how to west louisiana. one man there was hurt when his trailer was torn apart. meteorologist danielle niles is tracking more snow and rain plus the severe weather threat. >> good morning, everybody. storm warnings and advisories are up for a series of storms. we just can't catch a break here. storms from the coastline of northern california back up through washington today. these showers extend south. notice snow extends into the rockies as well, over the next 24 to 48 hours. measuring snow in feet in the deeper purples here, and a white christmas for areas in blue. snow in the west and severe weather in the east. louisville, kentucky through mississippi. isolated tornadoes possible and record warmth from texas stretching back up to maine for christmas eve. >> danielle, thank you so much. iraqi forces are reporting progress in their battle to defeat isis fighters in the key city of ramadi. isis has been in control of ramadi west of baghdad since may. the iraqi offensive is winning back part of city amid fierce fighting. the army says it will regain control within days. cbs news's security analyst michael morell has more from washington. michael, good morning. >> good morning. >> what's the significance of this setback for isis? >> norah, i think this is very significant for two reasons. one is, what is being attacked here, which is ramadi. it's the capital of anbar province, the home to the majority of sunnis in iraq. it's only 60 miles from baghdad. iraqi government early in the year. it's on the main highway to syria. it's on the main highway to jordan. this is an important target. and then secondly, it's who is doing the attacking. most of the gains in iraq have been done by shia militia and the kurds. in this case we have iraqi military working with sunni tribes men. the success here could become a model for the rest of the country. it's very important. >> what does it say about the iraqi army? >> it says that they believe and the united states believes they can conduct this kind of fight. the iraqis may be a little optimistic that this will take only a few days. the american military is being a little more cautious. we're talking about 300 isis fighters in a heavily contested downtown area. street to street fighting. this may take some time. >> perception is obviously very important in all of this. how important is the perception >> so i think that is one of the most important things here. isis has had the perception for over a year now that they're winning, and that gets them recruits, both in iraq and syria and overseas. it gets them money. so to the extent we can begin to turn back that perception and take the momentum away from them, that could be really important. mosul, the second largest iraqi city, comes next. >> thank you, michael morell. flags are flying at half-staff to honor a new york city police detective killed in afghanistan. joseph lemm is one of six service members who died yesterday. margaret brennan is at the pentagon as we learn more about the

leader. air force major adrianna vorderbruggen was the highest ranking officer killed in monday's attack. >> she's a hero. i hope she's a hero to all of us, not just to me. >> reporter: older brother christopher said his trail blazing center was charged with protecting the largest u.s. military base in afghanistan. >> she intentionally would go on these patrols with her men, because she wanted to show them that she would do what she was asking them to do. >> reporter: vorderbruggen is one of the first openly gay female officers killed in action. she had openly challenged the military's don't ask don't tell policy, a change that lets her military benefits. >> she was herself and proud to be who she was. >> reporter: on his first tour of afghanistan, joseph lemm returned home to his wife and children. but his second tour came to a tragic end this week. the 15-year veteran of the new york police department was a member of the air national guard, killed by a taliban suicide bomber who drove a motorcycle packed with explosives into an air force patrol. peter taub was also killed. his mother runs this restaurant, now closed so she can mourn the horrible loss. three other airmen were killed. the taliban has gained strength since the end of the u.s. combat mission. they proudly released a photo on tuesday of the bomber they claimed killed the americans. today american and british forces are once again coming to the aid of the struggling afghan taliban offensive to try to take over a crucial helmand province. >> margaret, thank you so much. a newly released document this morning shows how one of the san bernardino shooters helped the other get a visa to enter the u.s. syed farook writes, after several weeks of emailing, the two decided to get engaged at the hajj pilgrimage at mecca. they showed officials visa stamps to prove they both went to mecca. the u.s. says there's not enough evidence to show they met face-to-face, which is required to get this type of visa. malik underwent many investigations that did not raise a red flag. triple a says for the first travel over 50 miles over the holidays. they may not have a chance to avoid controversial airport body scanners. officials sell cbs news the tsa is changing its passenger screening protocols. jeff pegues is outside reagan national airport. jeff, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. tsa officials stepped up security after the paris attacks. this is another change. more passengers will likely be funneled through those body scanners whether they like it or not. late last week the transpouration security administration wrote that it was updating the ability of individuals to want to out of advanced imaging technology screening in favor of physical screening. that now clears the way for the tsa to direct mandatory screening for some passengers as considerations. over the years the technical has evolved. those body scanners that some critics label virtual strip searches are gone in favor of machines which replace an individual's image with that of a generic figure which officials believe lessens privacy concerns. airport security has been under the microscope. over the summer, a scathing dhs inspector general report uncovered major gaps. investigators discovered that 95% of the time they were able to smuggle mock explosives or banned weapons through checkpoints, in so some cases cruising through tsa patdowns. it led to an overall that homeland security secretary jeh johnson talked about last week. >> in july i gave the new administrator of tsa a ten-point plan for improving aviation security and airport screening domestically. implemented on schedule. >> reporter: those body scanners are extremely sensitive. the experts say they can pick up a handkerchief stuffed into your pocket, which is why you have to take everything out of your pocket when you go through those body scanners. most importantly, the experts say the scanners can pick up non-metallic explosives, the kinds terrorists are trying to sneak on planes, vinita. >> thank you. a thief broken into an agent's car in broad daylight. the secret service agent got back to his car and a bag was missing from inside his car. the bag contained the agenties handgun, badge, i.d. card, radio, and an encrypted thumb drive. the secret service is not saying anything about the incident. a glimmer of

space debris returning to earth. anna werner is here with details of the celestial light show. anna anna, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, anthony. it wasn't a bird, a plane, or superman, or even supergirl. and no, it wasn't a meteor. but it could be seen for hundreds of miles and appeared alarmingly close to those who got a glimpse. >> what is that? >> reporter: it was the midnight mystery, keeping people awake in parts california, arizona, and nevada last night, a blazing bright light streaking across the sky. >> it's all over facebook. >> reporter: local news stations were baffled. >> we have been getting all kinds of phone calls. >> we're hearing reports of a bright fireball. >> reporter: but what is it? we still don't know. >> reporter: witnesses offered a variety of theories. >> is that a really long shooting star? >> might be a meteor. >> santa claus? >> reporter: others just watched in amazement. >> wow. >> reporter: according to u.s. strategic command which helps monitor thousands of items orbiting in space, the object was the remnant of a used russian rocket, which may have helped launch a soyuz supply vehicle to the international space station on mondnd, scheduled to dock this morning. >> every day, hundreds and slam into the earth's atmosphere. but we're quite fortunate that most of these objects that are produced on earth are tracked and we can control to some extent what their characteristics are going to be when they come back to earth. >> it's coming apart right now. >> reporter: the russian rocket is one of 16,000 space objects tracked by the joint space operations center, which had predicted the spacecraft would fall over arizona tuesday evening. it's unclear for how long the joint operations center knew about the rocket reentry, as well as where any of the debris may have landed. many thought that fireball was part of the persid meteor shower which was also scheduled to appear last night. >> a nice light show. >> a

>> no, we don't. >> reporter: you're sowing the seeds of your own destruction? >> no. we want fact. we think the facts will help us develop better solutions and that is why we are advancing medical research, that's why we are funding directlyo boston university on some of this research. >> reporter: repetitive head trauma chokes the brain. >> reporter: espn's report comes just days before the release of nigerian born pathologist who came under fire from the league when he first diagnosed cte in a deceased football player in 2005. >> if it's shown that large number of players get the disease it will have a large impact on not only the sport itself but the business of professional football in this country. >> reporter: the ni irksnih released a statement saying the nfl is currenting funding eight ongoing studies in the area of traumatic brain injury. any questions about the donation from the nfl should be directed to the nfl. with just two shopping days left before christmas, a new study shows a possible gender gap in pricing could be more widespread than many people think. the new york city department of consumer affairs revealed a sharp price gap between products aimed at women and girls versus men and boys. from toys to clothes and health care items the research shows an average cost difference of aut cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger is with us. >> good morning. >> this is an alarming study. not only are women paid less but it appears we have to pay more for the products we want to buy. >> this study was interesting. what they were trying to do is differentiate between something that is pretty much the same product and something that is really different. if you have a cool shirt with lots of ruffles and that is marketed to women that is different than a straight-laced shirt for a man. they took all of these product categories and narrow it down and found pretty big different shals. >> specifically, let's talk about helmets and scooters. one helmet had a unicorn and one had a shark and how much more was the one with the unicorn? >> okay. so unicorn you have to spent, get this? are you ready? about 28 bucks. you want a shark? it's $15. now let's say -- all right, i know that both of your kids could like both things no matter what the gender is. but if your daughter really going to pay almost twice as much, right? if your son wants it also. but i think the problem here is that we are really seeing these massive differentials essentially the same product. not in every category but in this specific category, it's the same with a helmet. >> we reached out to target about the findings here. scooters we are talking about there is a big price differential in. they blame a system error for that and other findings they say a difference in price can be related to production costs or other factors. does that make sense? >> maybe. and sure, i'm going to believe them there are certain products that cost more to make for a boy versus a girl. what i think about this is. i remember when i was a kid and they had bicycles and bicycles were different. you had the bar across for the boy and the girls didn't. i thought the boys bike was cooler, no doubt and that was cheaper. it's a funny thing to come back and see these differentials. >> specifically, when you talk talk about the scooter. here is the red, boy scooter is $24.99 and pink scooter, virtually the same! it's $50! it's a color differential. >> target says this is a system, coding error. okay, let's take it a face value and maybe it was and maybe it wasn't. what is interesting here there is real interesting pieces about the law. in new york city, miami-dade county and as well as in california, there are some differences around the pricing of services. you can't differentiate around service. product, you can. that is a huge difference. be on the lookout. you know what? you know how to change this, ladies? buy the men's version! one says i bought men's body wash on wednesday and saved three bucks! >> go for it. >> we take our frustration our on anthony. >> i actually think there should be a movement and a hash tag #the price differential for similar products in this market for boys and transparency. >> women influence 73% of the income in households. >> i think we should be a much smarter shopper. you need fast relief. alka-seltzer plus severe sinus congestion and cough liquid gels rush relief to your tough symptoms. to put you back in control.

never going to be perfect. >> here we go. we are going to answer that. do you think it's gotten worse? >> do you think it's gotten worse? why has it gotten worse? >> the racism in this country? >> yes. >> the fights, the riots, people getting killed. >> i think unemployment has a lot to do with it also, because whether you're black or white, just going to lead to problems. >> we easily identify all of our problems but we don't provide each other with the proper solutions to overcome them. we are so quick to label, i got held down here or held down there. instead of, you know, putting our nose to the grindstone and saving money. >> we have to learn how to take responsibility of our own self. and don't -- you can break the curse. you don't have to be with your mother if she was a crack head and your father was a drunk. you can break the curse and become better and want better. >> by extension you have to extend that to the muslim community also and it's not about racism. it's about culture. it's about a culture where you speak up if you see something that is worrisome and is suspicious. >> a large percentage of the muslim population in new york city are african-american people. when trump comes out and attacks an entire religion, it just inflames a problem that is already burning. >> burning. >> instead of dousing it, do you know what i mean? he is throwing gasoline on it. >> the people are saying black like black lives matter only when they are killed by white cops. >> exactly. >> as someone who grew up in chicago a lot of this is black on black crime. >> absolutely. >> we need to be just as outraged about that and protest as much as we do when someone that is killed by a policeman. i also want to add and some of these people were in the wrong place at the wrong time doing the wrong thing at the wrong time. >> nobody is on tv telling young black people when the cops tell you something, don't fight them! >> exactly. >> don't fight! don't grab their gun in the car! >> don't do nothing like that. just cooperate. if you go to jail, you go to jail but i bet you won't die or you might not die. >> that was frank luntz with that focus group. coming up, out of control drone narrowly misses a world cup skier. we will see you howthis morning with just a few clouds off to the east around the sunrise. temps have droped to the low 40s and some upper 30s around the fringes of town. ............ some afternoon clouds here and there. highs should make it back up to near 60 degrees again. ...................... and then some wet and cooler changes rolling in for christmas eve and early christmas day. ................... northerly breezes will return and the weekend is going to be back to chilly days and cold nights. ........... it's 7:26 ... announcer: this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by toyota. let's go places. no-cost maintenance plan. what's toyotacare?
