On this veterans day. The latest republican president ial debate reveals sharp policy divisions among the candidates unlike their last prime time debate, they did not complain about the questions. And the focus this morning is on their answers. Some of the biggest disagreements of the night centered on immigration. Candidates also argued over tax cuts, military spending and u. S. russian relations. Mainly garrett is in milwaukee where the debate took place. Reporter good morning. After the debate, campaigns certain their candidates had won, that means all of them, conceded the evening did little to upend the fundamentals of this race. That is good news for ben carson and donald trump and presents the same challenge to the rest. How do skilled politicians catch up with the front running firsttimerers . Hold it. They blew up. Wait a minute. Reporter donald trump crashed with jeb douche and john kasich and has a subject has already divided the republican field.

Fiorina did meet putin in asia and said she once described the meeting as a green room. Thanks, major. Florida senator marco rubio is with us from milwaukee. Good morning, senator. Good morning, charlie. Reporter you participated in the debate last night. There was much talk about immigration and a debate about deportation. Some suggested that you might have wanted to wade in more on that because you opposed deportation. Should you have . Well, i dont oppose deporting people that are criminals and i dont oppose deporting people that havent been in this country a very long time. I think we have to have a realistically policy of people here a long time and not criminals but you have to begin with two steps before you do that. You have to bring illegal immigration under control and prove to the American People that has happened. Legal immigration system an only after youve done those two things is move to the third step which is conduct background checks on everyone who is here illegally and if they are criminals they have to leave and if not they have to pay taxes and have to pay a fine. They have to learn english. And they get a work permit and all they will have for at least ten years. I have the most welldefined plan when it comes to grags and an issue we need to confront as a country and my position is well stated and repeatedly stated. Senator, let me ask you specifically. The administration appealed to the Supreme Court yesterday to block the deportation of four Million Immigrants after a court of appeals upheld an earlier injunction. I know you know about this case that she hadded to the Supreme Court potentially. Are you for deporting those 4 Million Immigrants who are the parents of many legal residents here . Yeah. This is a tough issue, because youre talking about human beings and real lives. The flip side of it youre talking about the law. This country has a right to have immigration laws and it needs to. Announcer those laws or you dont have rights. No one has a right to illegally immigrant to the and i live this issue very day and see it and live in a majority immigrant community and my parents and my wifes parents were immigrants and all of my neighbors are immigrants. We have to have a system that is fair to the people trying to come here legally. Can i clarify your position on that . You would see the 4 million plus immigrants deported . We need to enforce our law. Its the wrong way to do this and, quite frankly, we need to begin to enforce our immigration laws in this country or we dont have immigration laws. Every country in the world has immigration laws and america is entitled to have to have laws and enforce them. A lot of supporters last night were giving you a way to go with your commercial before the debate where you have jeb bush praising you. What is your strategy there and what is your relationship like with jeb bush . Well, no. Look. I am close. I mean, i admire him greatly and have tremendous respect and affection for him as a person. Unfortunately the last four weeks, he has chosen to attack me but im not change i my strategy and reciprocate that. Im not changing who i am or the campaign that im running because of someone elses Strategic Decisions and changes in their campaign. I hope we are going to continue to run a campaign that is realistically about our challenges and optimistic about our on opportunities and our future. I think ultimate that is the way to win this nomination and be elected president. There are new questions this morning from the miami herald about your use of a credit card, a state party credit card years ago. Youve addressed it and said it was a mistake but they are detailing that it was used more than once. How do you explain that . Yeah. We have explained this more than anyone cares to know. This is a small this is a bureau down in florida of one newspaper that is obsessed with the story. Bottom line is we have revealed all of the documents and people can see its all there. Its not a big issue and we are moving on. It really is a silly story and they can continue to write about it but as i said, the Republican Party never paid any of my personal expenses. There were personal expenses and the few times there were we paid for them directly to American Express and, as i said, this was all audited by the Republican Party and looked by by the Florida Ethics Commission because of a democrats complainant and we have addressed it and moved on. We talked deeply about issues and im glad we had one and i hope all of the other ones will be like that. Senator rubio, we thank you for your time this morning. Thank you. Face the nation host and cbs news political director John Dickerson is at Drake University in des moines where he will moderate the cbs news democratic debate on saturday. Do you think this debate moved the needle for any of the candidates last night . I dont think so. It didnt move the needle for those who needed to have it move up, particularly jeb bush. I think if youre of the view that marco rubio and ted cruz will probably face off in the final contest, i think both of them had strong moments last night. As far as Republican Voters are concerned. But there was nothing that donald trump and ben carson, the two front runners at the moment but their support is pretty solid and probably stay where it was before the debate. Ben carson spoke the least for those keeping track and only when spoken to. What does that say about what he is trying to accomplish here . Well, he was never the most exciting or flamboyant candidate on the stage ever. And so his support and his rise comes from somewhere else. It comes from voters who take a reading of him and like him for other kinds of qualities. As opposed to donald trump who has that more energetic personality. So i think for ben carson, he will continue to have that relationship with voters and his lane. He is not the kind of person where we will look to him in debate. I think the challenge for him will be if there is ever another an opponent who raises the idea to basically he doesnt have it on the issues and tries to use the debate format to do that. But we havent really seen anybody take that to him yet. Who had the best night, do you think, john . I dont think anybody had a super standout night. I think that ted cruz had a couple of very strong moments on immigration, defending basically the laws of the americans saying anybody who thinks that if you want to uphold tos laws that youre being antiimmigration, he was very strong on that. Marco rubio and rand paul had an exchange over defense in which rubio was able to speak to the defense hawks in the party very forcefully and rand paul was able to energize his voters by talking about the principles of conservatism. Those three had, and Carly Fiorina had a couple of strong moments. I dont think there was a real breakout which it feels like the race will continue along the John Dickerson, thank you. You can watch john moderate the cbs news democratic president ial debate on saturday night on cbs at 9 00 p. M. Eastern. People are on the scene to get answers from a plane crash.

He cant stop somebody from sending stuff and he didnt pass it on. Part of the problem is the idea of receipt. We cant stop peeping sending us things we dont want. If we receive it, should something happen to us . In this case, thankfully, the police did not go after the 20, at least as far as this point in time is concerned because they havent disseminated it further. But what we do have is the active receipt and the school has gone after them. Why . Because the school says you violated our code of conduct. How . You should have told a was wrong. Now, when you look at the process who is going to do that . Especially young students. Yes. If you have a good strong school. Schools have codes of conduct if you see someone cheating youre supposed to tell on them. The idea is share responsibility. I think seeing someone cheating enters a childs mind where they know that is wrong. Receiving a video and gathering around together at the lunch hour and giggling about it, i dont know if it goes through their head that its wrong. But it should. Maybe that is the problem. If youre getting a video of a woman or a young girl in a compromising situation, shouldnt be that alarming . Exactly what the school says. What the school says is that to the parents, dont be angry with us, the school. You ought to be look at what is going on in your households. If youre going to prosecute a kid for Something Like this, then it must be knowing. Other videos that are naked of children, well, then we have to know that you know what it is. It wasnt inadvertent.

They facing a felony of promoting the sexual performance of a child and also disseminating indecent material to minors. Do you think the kids should have been disciplined by the school . I think there is some degree of discipline that would be necessary if, in fact, they have shared. No. If they received this should they have been disciplined. Yonts. Should they have report it to the authorities . They should have reported it to the authorities. Should they be disciplined . I dont think they should disciplined in the sense of discipline.

Children would be terrified and it will not work. 12 million Illegal Immigrants, to send them back, 500,000 a month, is just not possible. For those of us who believe people ought to come to this country legally and we should enforce the law, were tired of being told its antiimmigrant. Its offensive. Are there particular parts of the bill its a disaster. If you look at the way china and india and almost everybody takes advantage of the united states, china in particular we might want to point out china is not part of this deal. And when we talk about the cronyism of washington, Hillary Clinton embodies the cronyism of washington. Even for the average person, every single regulation costs money. It is hurting the poor. Bernie sanders and Hillary Clinton wont tell you that thats the thing thats really hurting the middle class and the poor. Theyll say its the rich. Take their money. The Democratic Party and the political left has no ideas about the future. All their ideas are the same tired ideas of the past. More government, more spending. 40 of all the Economic Activity in the age of obama has come from the Energy Sector and Hillary Clinton wants to suppress that. If Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders were to win this election, my 16yearolds, i worry about what their life is going to be like. We must beat Hillary Clinton. Carly fiorina can beat Hillary Clinton. I will beat Hillary Clinton. We cannot lose this election. We cannot let Hillary Clinton, who is the worst secretary of state in the history of our country, win this election. Major garrett covered the debate and joins us now from milwaukee. Good morning. Reporter good morning. We had a chance to catch up with ben carson, Carly Fiorina and donald trump in the spin room after the debate to talk about some of the revealing moments of the evening, starting with ben carson and questions that have been recently raised about his biography. First of all, thank you for not asking me what i said in the tenth grade. I appreciate that. Well, how can you be vetted if you wont even be willing to corroborate things youve said about yourself. Well, thats okay as long as youre going to do it to everybody else. Lets see if we can get him to prove everything that has ever happened, even if it was 30, 40, 50 years ago. Well, if i buy that, thats what i will be doing from now until the election in november. I would not be talking to Vladimir Putin right now, although i have met him as well. Not in a green room for a show but in a private meeting. Can you describe the circumstances of your meeting with putin . So i met with Vladimir Putin in an apec conference in beijing. We were in a hold area for about an hour before that speech and had a conversation about many things. Hewlettpackard had some business in russia. We were talking about the economy. We have to get smart. We cant continue to be the policemen of the world. Donald is wrong on this. He is absolutely wrong on this. Mr. Trump, accused of being naive on isis and impractical on immigration. You were during the debate. No, im asking you in your imagination. No, thats what was said to you. Hey, in your imagination. Major, this is not your First Encounter with donald trump. What happened . Reporter well, listen, politicians can do whatever they want with the questions i ask. I think the record is pretty clear on that. One thing is, it wasnt my imagination. Donald trump and he didnt want to talk about them. I would merely point out that he might have wanted to stay for the full question, which was you were accused of these things. What did your supporters learn from your responses. Donald trump didnt stay around for that question. He might have wanted to in retrospect. One thing i would say, his demeanor in the spin room was fundamentally different last night than it had been in the previous three debates. He did not seem to be as full of himself or the sense that he had won the evening as he had before. That may be an indication of how he personal lowly felt last nights performance went. And on Foreign Policy, how did he do in the debate . Reporter well, on Foreign Policy he said that there is no problem with Vladimir Putin taking on isis, and he would prefer that to happen. Jeb bush said that is naive and doesnt represent Firm American leadership. On economic policy, he talked a lot about chinese currency manipulation. When rand paul pointed out that isnt even part of the Transpacific Partnership deal that was one of the questions in the debate, donald trump sort of receded there as well. His Campaign Said they thought he did well but there were moments where he was less sure of himself than he had been in previous debates. Major, thank you so much. Hillary clinton is facing criticism from republicans for failing to defend Carly Fiorina at a Campaign Event at a town hall meeting in New Hampshire tuesday. A clinton supporter criticized her time and talked about strangling her. Clinton laughed. Every time i see her on tv, i want to reach through an you know, i know that doesnt sound very nice. I wouldnt mess with you. The Republican National committee swiftly responded and said Hillary Clinton and the democrats have lost all credibility claiming to be a party that stands up for women. Count on Hillary Clinton to stand up for them. Asked if she took the man seriously, clinton shook her head and said no. A clinton spokesman said it was a joke.

The tradition launched in 2009 quickly turned into the worlds Biggest Online shopping day. Its nearly five times larger than cyber monday in the united states. Chinas ecommerce giant, alibaba sold 5 billion of merchandise in the first 90 minutes overnight. Seth doane in beijing shows us how a competitor hopes to win over hearts and your wallet. Seth, good morning. Reporter good morning. The packages are already piling up in front of this shipping facility for jd. Com. Singles day started as a sort of antivalentines day. November 11th, all of those single ones. Now it has been coopted by about shopping and deep discounts. Its show time today at jd. Com which has already seen a Record Number of orders. Chinas government figures that all singles day will generate 760 million shipments. Jd is dispatching tens of thousands of its signature red trucks and threewheelers across china. All to satisfy the capitalist urges of this communist country. Its sort of manmade holiday. Or retailer made. Yeah, retailer made. Reporter a jd executive explained the logistics behind managing so many orders. We prepare for this for a long time. And we have plans for unexpected. What if one warehouse exceed our expectations. Its a pretty complicated math problem for us. Reporter its a complicated math problem with very big numbers. In 2014, Online Shopping on singles day reached close to 10 billion. Compare that to americas cyber monday, with just over 2 billion in sales. At jds hightech warehouse on the outskirts of shanghai, we watched as everything from diapers to compute equipment almost magically whipped into place on a conveyor belt. This warehouse has some of the most sophisticated sorting technology in the world. It has the capacity to sort 16,000 packages an hour, with an accuracy of 99. 99 . All of this sorting and shipping and promising in most cases to get it there in 24 hours is to lure folks like sing on the other side of the order form. Days in advance, we found her filling her online cart. Youre buying shoes . Buying shoes, yes. And they offer big discounts . Yeah. 58 . Reporter sing, who incidentally is single, assured us this is not retail therapy, its just smart shopping. Singles day . Because the price is cheaper than the other days. You get a good deal . Yeah, i get a good deal. Reporter its estimated more than 90 of singles day sales, 9 billion, went to allibaba last year. Its more of a marketplace along the lines of ebay, connecting buyers and sellers. They threw a glitzy variety show to mark the day, with cameos by daniel craig and kevin spacey playing house of cards president kevin underwood. And if i were allowed to shop on your singles day, i wonder how cheap i could get a new burner phone, for example. Reporter in the fierce rivalry for online shoppers, jd hopes to cut into alibabas bottom line. Jd filed a complaint and now chinas government is investigating alibaba for pressuring companies to sell only on its platform on singles day. Overall jd sales are growing almost three times as fast as alibabas, using a different model. Buying from suppliers and shipping to customers. In a lot of ways were similar to amazon. Whats different between us and amazon is we have our own trucks and our own delivery employees. Reporter the idea is the delivery person at your door is a company employee, who can answer questions and manage returns. In this highstakes bid for business, companies try every angle to get ahead. We have loudspeakers in these warehouse and we play very inspirational music. Inspire people to work faster . Work faster and to get that to have that spirit. Because this is such an important shopping period . Yeah. Reporter one popular loudspeakers is wong fong. On this date that translates to a very capitalist concept, shopping. Jd tells us compared to last year, they tripled their sales in the first half of the day. One of the big sellers, imported wine, up 500 . Norah. So on singles day it might be nice to have a bottle of wine to yourself, right . Party for one, me, myself and i. We have a good ole time. Online shopping. All the things we bought today.

The story of my career, by the way. Not true. We will take a look back at tims career. Got a little fight got a little love reporter with his signature cowboy hat and distinctive sound, tim mcgraw has been taking music fans on a journey down country roads for more than two decades. Reporter his vast catalog of songs. I love it reporter have earned him three grammy awards. Reporter and his broad appeal has led to collaborations swift. I look at you and say meanwhile reporter and his wife of nearly 20 years, faith hill. I remember the first picture i ever saw, billboard magazine and i was in love then.

Why cant you hold on to the football. Reporter starring in friday night lights. Forward the light brigade. Reporter in 2009 the blindside alongside oscar winning actress sandra bullock. He has a tour with 14 studio album called damn Country Music. We got love and sitting on top of the world reporter mcgraws current single top of the world has already hit the top ten on the charts. We talked about many title. When i heard it, i was clutching my pearls. Did you mean damn Country Music or did you mean damn Country Music . Sort of it was on purpose. It was on purpose . Those are your three choices. There are other choices as well. It depends on what you feel like the day you wake up where the punctuation goes, right . Sometimes its a different adjective in front of than damn. Did you want people to talk about the title . Yeah, you always try to come up with a title that makes people think and it makes people talk and makes people wonder. I think that is what it does. When i was recording album or finding songs to record for the album, this is one of the first songs that i found. And sort of explained the album in a lot of ways because this song is out of context, you it think of all of those things but in context when you hear the song, its about having passion for something. About love. About sort of hanging it all out there and going to something and leaving home and this is about Country Music for sure but its also in a broader sense about life in general. Anybody that is passionate about something and what it costs you to go after something that youre passionate about but what you get in return. To me Country Music has given me everything good in my life. Everything good come my way has come from Country Music. I would not have met my wife had it not been for Country Music. First thing charlie said when you got here, is your wife here . Good to see you but is your wife here . He didnt care about me. He got to talk to faith over dinner one night so they have a bond. One reviewer said this about your new album. A lot of about authenticity and question that he walks the talk. Thats cool. Yeah. Well, i think for me, any music and any music that moves you is, when can you believe somebody and there is an honesty to it. What i always tried to do music is be honest. Im never going to be accused of every over singing. You have to let the song speak and let song tell a storey and youre a conduit in it. You said the difference between sleeping with someone and someone you love, i love you is not a pickup line, although that could be an effective pickup line, as ive been told, tim mcgraw. What is the meaning . Always be humble and kind. I love the phrase of that. I think the song is one of my favorite songs ive ever records ive ever made and i think its special. In this day and age and people can be so mean to each other its a message that needs to be out there and people need to hear. I was talking to a friend of mine and we were talking about humility and kindness and what is the difference and how do you explain that . Kindness i think we are all innately born with. Everybody has kindness built into them. Even people who dont think they are kind are kind and most of them are. Humility is different and you have to remind ursyourself to being and you have to look in the mirror and have stewardship over it. I didnt know you had three daughters and i met one of your daughters and your oldest her. Shes on the album. She was fantastic. You were nervous about that because sometimes they dont think youre cool . She doesnt think im cool at all. I like to think when im not around she thinks im cooler. When you asked faith, faith said, its your funeral. Go ahead and ask. I thought that was funny. She is a great singer. She has a band and they are allgirl band and they write all of their songs and decidedly different music than mine but she is fantastic. Im a big fan of hers. Tell me this. When youre asked to pitch, first pitch at the world series. Ew. Did you immediately say, man, i got to go practice as i do not want to screw this up . Well, yeah. A little bit of legacy with me and throwing a baseball. So i couldnt just walk out there. You mean your father . Yeah, my father and the mets. He is a member of the mets hall of fame. So i couldnt walk out there and, you know, make a bad throw and get away with it without somebody saying he is just a Country Singer, you cant expect much. I worked on a little bit. I actually threw with faith in the backyard. She was catching . Yeah. We cant let you go without talking about veterans day. This is veterans day and i know you do much to support our veterans. Your thoughts on this day about their service and sacrifice. Well, you know, those guys and gals, they are sitting on the fence right and they are protecting us and they have a service in their heart and everything on the line and their families sacrifice so much. Anything we can honor them every day of the year is a good thing. My sister and uncle are veterans and a lot of veterans that are friends of mine that i grew up with. Just service hearted people that do everything in the world they can for us so i think in turn we should honor them any chance we get. Both ambassadors for the invictus games. Did you get tingly when you met prince harry . Many do . Yeah, we went out later and had dinner. We like harry. Hes a really nice guy. I think so too. Very just you saw that beard and you thought i want some of that . Im letting my grow out a little bit. I think its your best, tim. Is that okay to say . Absolutely. I think so. Your best, tim. Thank you for being here. Damn Country Music is in stores now. Ahead, a historic tribute to our troops. Chris ring is on his way to become the First American to swim the entire length of the Mississippi River but he is not doing it for the accolades. Im dad im on it. Culligan man dude. Dont do it yourself. Dad no . Culligan man no. Anncr leave it to the experts. With a culligan wholehouse water softening system, you get better water, and service you can actually count on. If you think theres no solution to the climate crisis, think again. In iowa, wind energy is already producing enough power for over a million homes, reducing our dependence on foreign oil and supporting six thousand jobs. Im tom steyer. With bold leadership and an Endless Supply of wind and sun, we can do that across america. The goal is 50 clean energy by 2030. So, what are we waiting for . You get better water, and service you can actually count on. Dad hey, culligan man. Culligan man hey dad this is great culligan man i know. Anncr leave it to the experts. With a culligan wholehouse water softening system, on this veterans day the nation honors and celebrates those who served and sacrificed in our military. Five months ago, a navy veteran started his mission to bring attention to the families of the fallen by swimming the entire length of the Mississippi River. Cbs Sports NetworksDana Jacobson met the man behind the mighty tribute. Dana, good morning. Reporter good morning. Chris ring spent six to eight hours a day, six days a week, swimming down the Mississippi River. At his journeys end, chris will go down as the First American to swim the entire mississippi but he say its those gold star families and the memories of their loved ones that made it happen. Those he is a former navy s. E. A. L. , chris ring doesnt consider himself a strong swimmer. But every day, except sundays, since the 6th of june, this decorated combat veteran zips up and jumps into the mississippi that first little chill going up the back. Being comfortable in the water and swimming a Long Distance is two different things. Reporter why did you want to do this . Its a good question. Well, i served my country ten years, and i dont want to put the service behind me. I couldnt imagine any better thing to do than really to raise awareness and to honor these fallen heroes. Reporter chriss swim was inspired by a crosscountry hike last year by army veteran mike vidi Whose Organization live offers support for gold star families. Hello. Hi, chris. The survivors of fallen soldiers. Thanks for coming out here. Thank you so much for doing what youre doing. Reporter like jenny smith and her husband eddie. Jennys son marine Staff Sergeant jason rogers was killed in action four and a half years ago in afghanistan. What are your good memories. Reporter chris wants to know how jason lived. He loved the marine corps. Very sfrenel young man. He loved transformers. Reporter they never get rid yeah. Loved it as a kid at heart. Like to avoid but conversations need to happen and give the families an opportunity to say their loved ones name again and share who they were. Thats the fear of most is the day people forget. Find a spot that you want. Reporter he has met nearly 200 gold star family members so far and many sign the ki yak that leads chris through the water and two kayaks are filled with messages of the fallen. Thank you very much. Reporter the kayak is always in front of me kind of guiding me through the water so whenever im in the water i can look up and see that kayak and know what im doing and how difficult it is that they pay that ultimate sacrifice. Most challenging part of this swim physically . Physically . I think just the general, the physical toll on the body. Its not necessarily the cleanest river. So no matter how much i try not to, some wart gets in and you daytoday. Reporter apart from not being the cleanest or clearest of rivers, the murky mississippi is full of obstacles. Shifting coats and barges and boats to navigate. When you get out there you never know what to expect and no day is the same. Lets go reporter its been 157 days since he started where the Mississippi River begins in minnesotas lake itaska and the 2,350 mile swim will go through ten states and chris hit the 2,000 mile mark on tuesday in matches, mississippi. His journey ends in new mexico. He expects to finish in early december. Mentally what is the most challenging thing about swimming this river . I would say out of physical and just mentally challenging, the mental part is probably the most difficult. Like such an emotional and powerful thing, you know, meeting families daytoday hearing these stories. Reporter how many times have you thought i cant do building any more, i need to stop . Zero. If im having a terrible day on the river, its going to be on over in how many hours but these people have to live with their pain and suffering and their burdens for the rest of their lives but i feel a privilege to do it because i feel its an honor to be able to do it. Jenny and eddie smith and many of the gold star families that chris met along the river plan to be on hand when he completes what, obviously, has been a very significant mission for him. He didnt stutter when he said zero. Other than the obvious what do you think he is getting out of it . His father told me more chris can explain it. He came back from his tours of duty and was sort of a different person and had to wallup a little bit. His dad says as he swims, he has a wonderful story on this veterans day. Great, great veteran. Thank you very much. My pleasure. Have you ever tried to get gum off your shoe . You know how annoying that is. Show you how one city is taking on a supersized cleanup job, you could say. We will be back. I owe about 68,000. I owe 44,000 in student loans. My plan, the new college compact, says you should not have to borrow money to pay tuition if you go to a Public College or university. And you ought to be able to refinance student debt. And i dont believe the federal government should be making a profit off of lending to young people who are borrowing to be able to get their education. We have got to make college affordable. This morning, the famous seattle gum wall is losing its flavor. Crews began tuesday steam cleaning about 1 million chewed up pieces that people left stuck on the wall. The gum will be gathered in buckets and weighed after the cleaning and should be finished this week. They are cleaning it and then say go ahead and chew it and do it again. I dont get that. I dont either. That does it for us. Evenin if you think theres no solution to the climate crisis, think again. In iowa, wind energy is already producing enough power for over a million homes, reducing our dependence on foreign oil and supporting six thousand jobs. Im tom steyer. With bold leadership and an Endless Supply of wind and sun, we can do that across america. The goal is 50 clean energy by 2030. Im its eight55 on this Tuesday Morning.
