tv CNN Newsroom CNN April 8, 2012 2:00pm-3:00pm PDT
2:00 pm
here's a look at where the 2012 contenders will be this week. rick santorum is campaigning in pennsylvania. ron paul will be in texas holding town hall meetings and attending fund-raisers. we're still waiting for romney and gingrich's campaigns for their schedules. thank you for tuning in for this special hour of politics. stay right here for the latest news right here in the newsroom. we begin this hour with the death of mike wallace. cbs called him a pitbull reporter. and some people he interviewed probably had their own names for him. the television news pioneer died overnight at the age of 93. mime wallace's family said he died peacefully surrounded by people who love him.
2:01 pm
he was one of the original hosts of the cbs program 60 minutes and hammered politicians, celebrities and newsmakers with his famously tough interviews. >> why was it so important to him at that moment? why was it so important to his father that he wanted to sue this illegitimate and his employer abc for $50 million? i didn't expect you to be a candidate's wife tonight. did you? >> no, i heard it over the television. >> my old friend nancy reagan. >> and with nancy reagan, the feeling was mutual. the statement from the former first lady today saying, quote, my heart is broken today over the death of my dear friend mike wallace. his longtime colleague dan rather says, mike wallace was from the beginning and for many years the heart and soul of "60 minutes." and the chairman of cbs news speaks for his entire network when he says, quote, we loved him, and we will miss him very much. a short time ago i talked to
2:02 pm
mike wallace's colleague on "60 minutes," leslie stahl. she said those close to wallace knew his health was on the decline. >> he looked good. he was physically fine. but he was fading. today, though, is a day to remember the vibrant, thrilling, brilliant mike wallace, who created "60 minutes." >> tom johnson described him formally of cnn, described him as a watchdog. cbs describes him as the pitbull reporter for cbs, for "60 minutes." everyone remembers those dogged interviews, and how he was just relentless, how the four words of mike wallace's hair would have everyone -- would have people leaving by the back door. did he enjoy that part of his legacy throughout? is that something that he, you know, felt pressured to kind of continue to uphold, or is that
2:03 pm
just quintessential mike wallace and his style as a reporter? >> well, number one, i'm positive he enjoyed it. it was definitely mike wallace through and through. he was completely authentic in every conceivable way. he pursued, because he thought that's what serious journalists do. and as i said, he created "60 minutes." he's the first correspondent. the show is in his image. he wanted it to be serious. you know, this came -- this journalistic career came about after his son died. and he wanted to make a difference. he wanted to change his life. and do something that had depth and meaning. and wasn't surfacey. he wanted to make a mark. and he created this broadcast with don hewitt to do that. it could have gone in any direction. they got an hour. it could have been anything. it could have been light and
2:04 pm
frothy. but because mike was there, he wanted to have the kind of high journalistic standards and serious journalism which on television would mean these penetrating interviews. what's so wonderful is, he stayed with the broadcast for so many years, that it became the imprint. it's what we all want to be like now. everybody who came after him. so it was his voice, and his attitude, his thinking, and his integrity that really brought us "60 minutes," and all the other magazine shows on television that followed, probably even your show. >> everyone tries to be like mike wallace in some capacity. >> yes. >> every magazine show, as you say, 60 minutes is the standard. you look at some of the old interviews or this reel of interviews that he's done. everyone from yasser arafat, shirley mclean, barbara walters. >> look what's interesting. he goes to the heads of state,
2:05 pm
and the interview is spectacular, and then he turns around and he does a movie star. and those interviews were almost as wonderful. they were wonderful. they were as wonderful in their own way. everything he did had high energy. and you know, you would watch, and you would say, oh, my god, what's he going to ask next, you know? there was that sort of little riskiness, or he was hanging off the edge. you didn't know where mike wallace was going to go. the person he was interviewing or the audience. he made it almost exciting to watch. >> absolutely. you talk about this whole mixed bag of interviews. but apparently his all-time favorite was the one of vladimir horowitz, that he so admired him, that this was the interview that just kind of knocked him off his feet. >> well, if you ever saw that interview, you saw mike -- you saw him being delighted. you watched him loving this man.
2:06 pm
it was terrific. and it was a side of mike you didn't always see, you know? he just kind of succumbed to vladimir horowitz. >> beautiful memories shared by lesley stahl there about the great mike wallace. mike wallace also helped lesley in a very personal matter and she says, he, mike wallace, saved the life of someone very close to her. she shares that with me later on in the newsroom. republican presidential candidate newt gingrich said mitt romney has the nomination all but locked up, speaking on fox news sunday. gingrich said romney is, quote, far and away the most likely republican nominee. gingrich vowed to support romney if he is nominated but saying he's staying in the race to push his personal platforms. rick santorum won't head back to the campaign trail on monday as previously planned. santorum will stay with his daughter bella, who is being hospitalized and has been since friday. she suffers from a chromosomal
2:07 pm
disorder, and was also hospitalized back in january, if you recall. rick santorum has been campaigning aggressively in his home state of pennsylvania, head of the april 24th primary. at least 59 people killed today in syria, according to opposition activists. both sides of the conflict, the rebels and government troops agreed to stop shooting at each other on tuesday. but the syrian government is now hinting it may not remove its forces by the deadline. a foreign ministry spokesman said they won't wrau withdraw only to have armed terrorist groups attack. north korea is getting ready to make a long-range satellite launch. it could happen anywhere between this thursday and next monday. the u.s. and its allies have warned pyongyang its actions could prompt more sanctions. meanwhile today, "the new york times" is reporting that new satellite images show the north is preparing for another underground nuclear test.
2:08 pm
and disturbing new developments surfacing in just the last few hours concerning the shooting spree in tulsa, oklahoma. two men are now under arrest for the shootings of five african-american men. three of the victims died. both suspects are white. and today tulsa authorities are sorting through the suspects' face book pages where they're finding racial comments. 19-year-old jake england posted a racial slur when commemorating the two-year anniversary of his father's shooting death. a news briefing just finished a few moments ago in tulsa. police and the fbi were very careful about the question of racial motivation, but tulsa city councilman jack henderson said to him, the answer is clear. >> i think that being an naacp president for seven years, i think that somebody that committed these crimes were very upset with black people.
2:09 pm
that person happened to be a white person. the people that they happened to kill and shoot were black people. that fits the bill for me. that's a personal feeling. i'm not trying to speak for anybody else. >> councilman, this morning there had been arrests. describe to me one word how you felt. >> thank god. that's what i said. i got down on my knees, i prayed about it. i prayed last night before i even went to bed. and i think that god was in this, as far as helping this come to a resolution as fast as it did. i think that there could have been some problems with some people that felt that this was not going to be solved. people felt that this was not going to be solved fast enough. and i spent a lot of my time frying to calm the waters, trying to ask people, don't even
2:10 pm
think about trying to take matters into your own hands. >> would people want to do that do you think? >> yes, i think there were. >> an arraignment is set for tomorrow. the suspects face three counts of murder and two counts of shooting with the intend to kill. a group of about 40 people, mostly students, calling themselves dream defenders, are on a protest walk in florida this weekend over the trayvon martin case. they began the march in daytona beach friday and will end up in sanford where the shooting took place. they plan on holding a rally in sanford monday night. and on its website, encouraged other students to walk or stage sit-ins. a turning point could come on tuesday. a grand jury is scheduled to begin. it could take days or even weeks before they decide whether to issue an indictment. special prosecutor assigned to the case, they'll decide independently on charges.
2:11 pm

2:14 pm
a sunny washington morning. the president, first lady, sasha and malia attended easter services at st. john's episcopal church just across from lafayette park from the white house. halfway around the world, pope benedict xvi delivered his annual easter mass in vatican city. the pope prayed for renewed peace effort in the middle east. specifically an end to the violence in syria. and he's not drawing a vatican mass numbers, but nfl quarterback tim tebow delivered an easter message to a crowd near austin, texas. the new york jets quarterback is known as much for his religious devotion as his performance on the football field. a crowd turned out to hear tebow speak at the outdoor easter gathering. we're in the final hours of the final day of the masters golf tournament in augusta, georgia. and there's a lot of flip-flopping over who's on top of the leaderboard. you're looking at phil mickelson there. but in the last 20 minutes,
2:15 pm
leaders peter hansen and phil mickelson made a few mistakes. but south african louis westhisen posted a rare double eagle to move to the top of the leaderboard. get used to the name. while the masters tournament is winding down, the controversy stirred up this year may linger. the all-male augusta golf club refuses to allow the membership to the leading sponsors of the masters, the ceo of the leading sponsor, ibm. the reason the new ceo is a woman. this weekend i talked to martha burke. ten years ago she held a protest outside the masters, demanding the club change its membership policy. and i asked the activist and author what she thinks of this latest controversy. >> strangely enough, we haven't heard from ibm. >> right. >> by letting the club do this, ibm is sanctioning that policy. and i think it's undermining
2:16 pm
their new ceo, virginia, who is a very capable woman. it's making it look like the company is okay with this discrimination. it's a very bad statement to make. >> so do you think -- your feeling is, we should be hearing from her? >> no, i think we should be hearing from ibm's board of directors. and they should be stepping up to say, our ceo is now female. she is certainly equal to any male ceo we've had in the past. and if you, augusta national, want our sponsorship dollars, we want respect for our new ceo. i don't think it needs to be put on her. >> so she apparently golfs sparingly. but what if she doesn't want membership? >> that's beside the point in terms of the rightness, or in this case wrongness of the policy. even if she doesn't want to be a member, it doesn't change the
2:17 pm
fact that she couldn't be a member if she did want to. and that's really the crux of it. she is being treated differently with ibm's collusion, than the male ceos have been treated in the past. that is the crux of the matter. they need to step up. the chair of their board has been a member of the club for years. ibm's pouring a lot of dollars into this tournament. that ought to buy a little respect. >> that's martha burk, who protested the all-men's admission policy ten years ago there at augusta. a skateboarder is an instant legend. and he's only 12 years old. he lands the first-ever 1080. what's a 1080 you ask? you will find out and we'll talk to him next. so why do banks do it ? hello ? hello ?! if your bank doesn't let you talk to a real person 24/7, you need an ally.

2:20 pm
so while you're in the air there, can you -- do you feel the sensation and do you know how many revolutions you're doing do i ing? tell me what's going on in your mind? >> i don't really know where i'm at. i'm just guessing, and kind of at the last moment, i kind of can tell where i am. that's kind of where i get aware of where i'm at. >> at what point did you know that you made those three revolutions, that you did a full 1080? was it because people were cheering, since you just told me you can't really tell where you are? >> well, when i first landed it, i wasn't sure if it was a 1080. it kind of felt like a normal 720, which is one less rotation. i wasn't really sure so i looked over and everyone was like -- was that a 1080? so i don't know. >> oh, my goodness. so you beat, you know, other legends, tony hawk, sean white who have been trying to do that for a very long time. sean white as a kid, he started
2:21 pm
out skateboarding before he became this awesome snowboarder. who has been your inspiration? >> i've always looked up to sean white and tony hawk and bucky lassick and bill burrquist. i've always watched them skate when i was a kid. that's kind of what i wanted to do is skate. >> so now you have bragging rights. what do you do with this giant achievement? >> well, i tell my friends at school. and they're really happy for me. i don't know. i don't brag about it a lot. >> that's cool. if you had a chance to talk a little smack with sean white, what would you say? >> i don't really know. that would be kind of awkward. probably -- i don't know actually. >> well, maybe you'll get an opportunity to reach out to him, or hopefully he reaches out to you since you kind of bested him. you've done something that he hasn't been able to do yet. >> well, i mean, i know he's
2:22 pm
been trying it he tried at the x games in 2007. and i was there, actually, watching. and i saw him trying it, and got really close. i don't know, i always picture that. >> tom, before i let you go, what's next for you? how do you top that moment? >> maybe stepping it up one more and try a 1260. i don't know. that would be in the future. >> well, good luck to you. i'm sure you will be able to do it, because the sky's the limit for you. tom skhaar, thanks so much. we'll see much more of you. congratulations. >> thank you. >> all right. at risk kids in philadelphia are winning accolades in a very unlikely sport. there are not snowboarding or skateboarding, you're going to be very impressed right after this.
2:24 pm
time for a look at what's happening in the week ahead. the easter spirit continues tomorrow at the white house. it is the annual easter egg roll. this year's theme is let's go, let's play, let's move. more than 35,000 people are expected on the south lawn for all of the fun. and to the trayvon martin case now, a grand jury is expected to convene tuesday to discuss whether to pursue charges against george zimmerman, the neighborhood watchman who shot the teen. and on wednesday, a parole hearing is set for notorious killer charles manson. manson was convicted of first-degree murder for a a 1969 killing spree in los angeles. a nonprofit group in philadelphia is offering inner
2:25 pm
city kids a chance to play polo, with winning results. sarah hoy has the story. >> reporter: it's been a wild ride frr the teens from the inner city. that's right, polo. the close-knit team to gain the title earlier this month. for the second year in a row. >> how are you feeling, man? >> it feels great. two-peat. it feels good. >> the team beat california el dorado 20-19 in a nail-biting shootout during the finals held at the university of virginia in charlottesville. >> you couldn't have written a movie ending any better than what that was. it was so close. >> reporter: the story is indeed worthy of the silver screen. but it's less about polo and more about beating the odds. they provide at-risk youth from phillies' toughest neighborhoods a chance to play polo in
2:26 pm
exchange for cleaning out stalls and brushing down horses. >> we don't really have an arena to practice in. our kids only get to practice when we schedule games. sometimes that's once a week, sometimes that's twice a week, sometimes we may not have a game for a couple weeks. really for them to be able to hone their skill, basically done on an ad hoc basis. >> reporter: last week they made history for being the all black high school team to compete in one of the most exclusive sports. this year the pressure was on again. but brandon reese who joined work to ride kept his cool and nailed the game-winning shot. >> i guess it's great. i don't feel too much right now. it will hit me later on. >> reporter: the current team isn't all black. the roster includes julie smith, one of only two girls to play in the tournament. >> somebody's got to win and somebody's got to lose. couldn't be any more proud of them, for sure. they fought their butts off and played hard. >> reporter: for now it's time
2:27 pm
for work to ride to celebrate. >> going home, i feel awesome. i'm happy. everyone's happy. >> reporter: work to ride is back in the heart of philadelphia's fairmont park with their eye on the next prize. sarah hoy, cnn, charlottesville, virginia. >> fantastic from skateboarding to polo, some great kid athletes out there. when we come right back, what some consider a trip of a lifetime. a cruise retracing the titanic's voyage. and mike wallace. they met with the branch manager and they said, "look, we've got this little hot dog cart, and it's on a really good corner. let's see if we can buy the property." and the branch manager said, "all right, i will take a chance with the two of you." and we've been loyal to bank of america for the last 71 years.

in tulsa, oklahoma, two men are under arrest in a shooting spree that left three people dead and two in critical condition. the suspects were arrested early this morning. and we get more details about how it happened when tulsa police and the fbi spoke a short time ago. >> at about 0147 hours, this morning, we did in fact develop enough probable cause to effect an arrest with the assistance and support of our special operations team of the two individuals we have in custody
2:31 pm
at this time. >> tulsa authorities are sorting through the suspects' facebook pages where they are finding racist comments. the suspects will be arraigned tomorrow. republican presidential candidate newt gingrich said campaign front-runner mitt romney has the nomination all but locked up. speaking on fox news sunday, gingrich said romney is, quote, far and away the most likely republican nominee. gingrich vowed to support romney if he is nominated. but says he's staying in the race to push his personal platforms. the "titanic" memorial cruise is on the high seas. it set sail from southampton, england, earlier today. it's carrying more than 1,300 passengers. many are relatives of those who died when the "titanic" went down more than 100 years ago. the 12-night trip will stop where the initial ship sank. friends and colleagues of mike wallace remember him as a
2:32 pm
tough, tireless reporter whose impact on american journalism cannot be overstated. mike wallace passed away last night. he was 93 years old. a little while ago, i spoke to tom johnson, a former president of this network, cnn, and a close personal friend of mike wallace's for more than 30 years. >> yes, we knew that life was not doing well in recent years. but he had fought a very gallant battle for some time. much as he had been an extraordinary force throughout his professional and personal career. >> so many remember him for these kind of dogged interviews. but at the same time they remember the kind of softness, the gentler side. we saw earlier this morning his good friend, morley safther gav a beautiful tribute, and he talked about how for mike wallace, one of his most favorite interviews actually was of a pianist.
2:33 pm
vladimir horowitz. so what was it about kind of that softer side of mike wallace most people didn't seem to be as accustomed to seeing? >> there was a major, just decency about mike. i got to know him in several ways, one of which is he and i battled depression during our lives. along with others, including bill styron, that really had been something that he had battled, as i have. and he showed tremendous interest in those who were confronting that illness. but it didn't keep him from continuing with his career and doing uncommonly well. >> that is extraordinary, because even morley sather talked about it, did an interview with him many years ago and talked to him in a very candid matter about depression, how he kept it inside for so long, and how mike wallace actually considered killing himself. did you all share kind of those parallels of experience together
2:34 pm
in a way that you felt perhaps other people wouldn't be able to understand or connect with you on? >> well, we shared it usually each summer at martha's vineyard, where four of us, art buck wold, mike wallace, bill sty ron and i had the same experiences. yes, it got so tough for mike, as it did for all four of us, that at some deep, deep point, and in our battle we did think about it. mike always reminded me that, really, it's one decision in life, that if you were to take it, you can't reconsider. and also that if you got the right medication, the right physicians, that most of us who deal with it could come out with it. and all four of us did. >> and through it all, you know, how does one try to kind of wrap their arms around the notion of, this is a man who had a seven-decades-long career. he did commercials, he was once
2:35 pm
a reporter for the "chigao sun-times," and he came to epitomize this television magazine reporting. how did he make those turns in his career and become such a mainstay for "60 minutes" for so long? >> well, first of all, he was very competitive. second, he was very professional. third, he surrounded himself with producers, and with talent at the very highest caliber. and then he really drove them toward excellence in everything. mike had a very low tolerance for mead ok trdiocritymediocrit >> do you feel like he was the leader of the pack in the "60 minutes" family? >> oh, he was the leader of the pack. and yet he always realized that it was a team effort, that he needed to be one of the most senior reporters on the show. and of course, i also dealt with him as a competitor during my years at cnn.
2:36 pm
so i saw up front and personal just what a tremendous guy he was in securing the interviews, and often breaking major news. >> that was former head of cnn, tom johnson remembering legendary mike wallace. more memories of mike wallace coming up in a couple of minutes. more from my conversation with lesley stahl, colleague from "60 minutes." she has a very strong personal connection to mike wallace. she said mike wallace saved her husband's life. newcomers to the neighborhood. what are we talking about? chickens. my pet chickens. the trend is really taking off. i'll show you where folks are raising chickens. and why. way the wind is blowing. ttd#: 1-800-345-2550 at charles schwab, we're ready with objective insights about ttd#: 1-800-345-2550 the present market and economic conditions. ttd#: 1-800-345-2550 and can help turn those insights into ttd#: 1-800-345-2550 a plan of action that's right for you.

by the farming bug, raising something eggstra at your home. this easter there are lots of eggs, marshmallow, chocolate, candy, but there's another extravaganza going on. people farming their own organic eggs, in their own back yards. from the city rooftop patios, to the suburban variety, is it all it's cracked up to be or are they yolking? laura saunders. >> come on back. >> reporter: this is serious business back here. >> we're not yolking. there's the babies. >> reporter: in her backyard coup. >> you've been doing this for how long? >> i've had my flock for about two years. about two years now. >> reporter: how did you start out? with just one hen, two? >> six. six came in a box. six came in the box. and it kind of just grew from there. >> reporter: she also runs a pet supply store, selling all things organic for you and your pets.
2:41 pm
from barks to beaks. what are you hearing from people in general about their real appetite for this? >> i think that the little raising your own flock kind of frenzy has caught on, because it's, i think, a fun way to show your kids how to take care of animals. i mean, i have a range of different clientele that come in to buy feed, from families, to single persons, to couples. you know, they just -- it's just fun. >> reporter: in saunders' case, she's created an organic oasis, bringing the countryside to her intown hideaway, a real scramble of all that she loves. >> and this is a suffolk, she's a british bird. >> reporter: as varied as their feathers are, the colors of the eggs are different, too. >> you know, when you go to the -- >> reporter: she's driven more by her passion for pets than appetite for fresh eggs.
2:42 pm
although she says once you taste farm fresh, you'll never want anything else. >> to me, it tastes like there's a watered-down egg you get at the grocery store, or a really deep, rich, flavorful egg that your backyard hens will lay for you. that's my rooster, little packer. >> reporter: funny fowl language always welcome. how does anyone get started with a coup? >> this was custom -- come on in. >> reporter: the other payoff? each chicken lays on average one egg per day. you're not cooking all these chickens. what do you do with all these chickens? >> no, i don't eat my birds. >> reporter: you're not cooking all of these eggs. but ha are you doing with the surplus? you can't possibly consume that many eggs a day. >> i give them away. >> reporter: it's unclear how many backyard coups like this are hatching around the country. but specialists in these
2:43 pm
intimate settings took place five years ago. for the typical person who says, you know what, i want to entertain this. i'm going to think about doing this. what do they need in order to get started? >> you can either have a custom coup built or you can buy a prefab coup and just build it yourself, or assemble it yourself. >> reporter: but first, check if having backyard chickens in your city or county is legal. in all, saunders said it could cost about $1,000 to begin, and about $25 in feed monthly after that. an investment she believes more households are willing to scratch into their budget. all right. so if you're ready to take flight and create your own eggstravagant coup, i talked earlier about the extra special things. >> educate yourself. there are tons of books and magazines out in the market.
2:44 pm
you can buy them on our website, amazon, go to a local feed store. >> how much space do you generally need? >> you know, indoors, you need about two square feet of space, two to four as a rule of thumb. outdoors, you want to provide at least ten square feet of space per chicken. really the thing we recommend is you free range them. because that's the healthiest possible thing for them. >> you can't do that if you've got it indoor. you would want your chickens inside. it depends on your city or county rules would allow. some people have chickens in their house? >> they do. actually this is a chicken diaper. we actually sell these. they have little removable liners. when they poop, you just dump it out and clean it out and replace it with a fresh one. we don't really recommend it. their behavior is operate i mal for outside. and little tiny rocks to help them digest their food. >> that is fascinating.
2:45 pm
so now, most people, when they get into the whole idea of backyard farming, or in their apartment farming, are they doing it because they want to save money, and ultimately save them on the grocery bill? or is there another lure? like lauren, for her, they're her pets. >> right. i think that's the majority of our customers. people come to us just for that. we offer specialty breeds. there are certainly people who keep them for money. but we don't really feel you can save money, unless you're a great carpenter, and you can build your own coop, so for the most part it's not about that. it's about chickens themselves. they have wonderful personalities. as you learn. >> i did. they were all named. the 11 chickens, and a rooster that she had, they had names. they had distinctive personalities. and there were quite elaborate breeds. which means you've got different looking eggs. >> that's right. the eggs are a big driving factor. i'm sort of obsessed with the
