George W. Bush on painting a new vision of immigrants

The former president's latest passion is celebrating the contributions of America's immigrants on canvas (as seen in the new book "Out of Many, One: Portraits of America's Immigrants") with the hope, he tells "CBS Evening News" anchor Norah O'Donnell, that a more respectful attitude to those who come to our country will help lead to reform of the immigration system. Mr. Bush also talks about partisanship and adding his voice to current political debates.

Biden looking to close Guantanamo Bay

The Biden administration is conducting a formal review of the military prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. The prison was established by former President George W. Bush in 2002 to house foreign terror suspects following 9/11. President Biden intends to close the prison by the end of his first term in 2024, reviving an Obama-era goal that never came to fruition. Carol Rosenberg, a New York Times reporter, joins CBSN's Lana Zak to discuss the potential closure.

Andy Card, former White House chief of staff under President George W. Bush, joins CBSN's "Red & Blue" anchor Elaine Quijano to discuss the symbolism associated with the inaugural ceremony.
