and the love drug. a new study says passionate love may be the best painkiller there is so, this morning, we are sharing the love and hoping to ease the pain, all that and more early this saturday morning, okt ease the pain, all that and more early this saturday morning, okt oblst 16th, 2010. captioning funded by cbs hi, everyone. welcome to et show. right to breaking news, news out of washington the pept gone is bracing for the possible release of as many as 400,000 potentially explosive secret military daumts on the u.s.-iraq war by wikileaks. the self-described whistle-blower website could release the files as early as tomorrow. our national security analyst is in our washington bureau to explain what this means. juan, good morning. >> good morning, chris. >> the pentagon's greatest fear with now 400 thousz new documents being leaked, what would their greatest fear be at
5:02 am
this point. >> part is the fear of the unknown. they are not sure exactly what droumts wikileaks has and trying to determine what that may be. in the context of iraq they may be concerned information about military operations, prior and current sources methods, people who may have cooperated in the past. as well as things that may be revelatory about what we know about the iraqi government, as well as other actors acting within iraq like the iranians. >> trying to align ourselves with certain people in afghanistan and iraq, does this hurt being able to forge those relationships? it seems as though the government it is tough to trust them with all these being leaked time and time again? >> i think that's absolutely right. i think this is the long-term cost of having these constant leaks come out. you have a building of distrust with the u.s. government, can you trust the ugs u.s. government to not only hold information but to, you know, keep it safe. internally, this also creates a
5:03 am
chill in terms of information sharing within the u.s. government between intelligence services and the military, for example. >> let me ask you about that, my next question, does that somehow kind of cut that off amsts bit? i know post-9/11 that has been essential the information sharing between agencies. but there is a leak somewhere something is slipping through the cracks somewhere. >> i think, absolutely. some suspicion on private manning, arrested and charged with a prior leak of a video from 2007. so, people assume he may be behind some of these leaks. but, it is still total clear exactly. but, i think what this does is really does create a sense of lack of sharing of information, which has really been the great reform post-9/11, a desire to have agencies share more intelligence so that we understand the threats that we're facing, not just to the homeland but in places like iraq and afghanistan. >> can i ask you this, 77,000 documents were leaked in july about the war in afghanistan, are the results and effects of that still being felt right now.
5:04 am
>> i think the military is still trying to determine that. we've seen a letter from the pentagon, the congress report, indicating we have not seen evidence of the type of damage we were anticipating, cooperateerators, for example targeted by the taliban but i think it is too early to tell and i think there is a cumulative effect to all of the leaks that will have an impact long term as you mentioned with potential cooperate raters and those aligned with us. >> some of the things they are talking about are things called sigacts, any idea what those might entail? >> these may be major military operations, movement of personnel, as well as alliances with key tribals and allies on the ground. this comes at a time when there is some political volatility in iraq. we still have 50,000 troops and the military should be concerned what may be in the documents knowledge the for the safety of
5:05 am
our troops but also the political stability or instability in iraq at this moment. >> juan, thank you so much. as of this morning, wiki leaks with no official comment on the leaks but some are saying, reports allegedly say 400,000 wort could be released as early tomorrow night. juan, nain you. now rebecca with this morning's other top stories. thank you. after more two harrowing months underground 31 of the 33 rescued chilean miners are back home after being released from the hospital. our correspondent seth doane is live from copiapo, chile. good morning, seth. >> reporter: good morning, rebecca, the first weekend above ground for the miners in ten weeks. it was winter here in the southern hemisphere when they went into that mine and now is spring but there is the freedom of being released from that mine and then there's the freedom of being at home. most of the 33 rescued miners are waking up this morning next to their loved ones. all left the hospital friday,
5:06 am
some in cars that pushed through crowds, others through a side door to avoid the media frenzy. two miners were transferred and will be kept under medical observation. late yesterday, she got her barbecue ready to throw a welcome home party for her boyfriend, yoen barrios. the sign reads, i love you, my tarzan. when he was trapped both his wife and his mistress came to the mine looking for information. and both learned quite a bit. there are celebrations planned across the city but this is a homecoming that has interested people around the world because when miner yoen barrios comes home, he'll be coming here to his mistress's house, not his wife's house just down the street. when barrios was lifted to the surface, it was valenzuela who was there. he and other miners are enjoying their welcome home celebration, revealing both their great
5:07 am
happiness and great relief. the good thing about being outside, said one of the miners, victor segovia, if you have a nightmare and wake up, you realize you're outside. if you are inside and you have a dream, you wake up in a nightmare. now, the miners have not said much about their ordeal and it's not clear if it's just too soon to talk about it or if there is, indeed, a secret pact in which was discussed that they would share all of the earnings from sharing their story. them in their hospital stay. he joins us now from copiapo, chile. good morning, jonathan. >> good morning. >> jonathan, how are all of the miners and their families adjusting to the new-found freedom? >> it's been very difficult for
5:08 am
the miners, they've gone from one strange world to another, first they lived 700 meters underground in a dark, dank cave now they have the spotlights of the world on them. they are really not quite sure about this. they're confused. they're a little bit nervous. they've been besieged by the press and folds by hordes of people. deep down, they are wondering what this is all about. it will take some weeks for the miners to come back to reality. they are not the same people that went down that mine seven or ten weeks ago. one of the miners' wives said my raul who went down there is not the same rowell who came out. >> very interesting. everybody wants to know, really, what took place in those first 17 days before they heard from all of us up above. what's your sense about the inside details? you've spent time now with the people, as well as their families. are you hearing anything new about what took place in those first 17 days?
5:09 am
>> one of the hardest things for the miners is going to be coming to grips with what happened down there. they really are very, very in shock, still. >> do you think those first 17 days, the things that took place underground, are going to create potentially more issues above ground as they go forward in their lives? >> well, some of the miners -- what the miners are really looking for is a sense of union. they are feeling scared. when they were underground they were a unified group. it was them against the world and they could do no wrong. now that they are up here it's kind of every man for himself. it's been very difficult for the miners to adjust to this idea of being alone. the miners, they, as strange as it sounds underground, they had a sense of union, a sense of purpose. now, each one is home with his family, with the tv, with all the pressure. and it's just been a very difficult transition. what we're seeing the miners are almost longing to be back in that group together. >> very interesting. do you think there is going to
5:10 am
somebody fallout, do you think some of the individuals among those miners are going to break off from the group and potentially tell parts of the story they agreed underground wouldn't be told? >> i think -- i think what we're going to see the miners are going to get together probably today or tomorrow. they just have this longing to be back together. it's not going to be easy. they're going to probably get together every year and they want to create a foundation. they talk about all the good things that came out of this. as strange as it sounds, we think that maybe they suffered the whole time but the miners talked about how they had a great sense of humor underground. they bonded with each other. it's been a remarkable experience for all of them and being alone on the surface is becoming very difficult. >> a remarkable story for all of us to follow. we look forward to hearing about their reunions and continuing the story with you, jonathan franklin, thank you so much. back to chris. >> rebecca, thank you. just 17 days away now from an election that could have huge implications for the nation.
5:11 am
the possibility of losing control of congress, democrats are sending their biggest names on the campaign trail. our senior white house correspondent bill plante at the white house this morning has the latest. hi, bill, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, chris. the president will be going coast to coast next week to try to whip up support for his party's candidates but he will not be the only superstar democrat out on the campaign trail. >> we're moving forward, not backwards. >> reporter: in delaware friday the president tried to rally the faithful to keep tea party-backed candidate christine o'donnell from taking the senate seat that used to be vice president joe biden's. >> really, really important that we keep this momentum going. >> reporter: in his home state, vice president biden is a powerful voice of support for chris coons, the democrats' candidate for senate but biden's reach stretches well beyond delaware. the vice president has been a much sought-after speaker on the campaign trail, appearing with 43 candidates. he can often go where the president, with low approval
5:12 am
ratings due, in most part to the economy, cannot. but neither of these current party leaders is as much demand as a figure from the past. this was bill clinton's 75th campaign event of the year. >> right now what bill clinton has, he's got all of the halo of the '90s which were a great economic time and none of the baggage of a few millennium. >> all are sprinting to the finish line, storming largely from the grass roots energy of the tea party. projections by the "new york times" show the tea party candidates are a viable threat in 33 house races around the country. big rally tomorrow in ohio. the first lady will be with the president on the campaign trail for the first time since 2008 but the republican lead among independents and others is expanding and democrats have now pulled their money of at least ten house races and put it where
5:13 am
it is more urgently needed elsewhere. so, things are looking bad for o democrats at the moment. chris? >>. >> things are leeting up. bill plante for us live in washington. thank you. for a political look ahead what to expect the next 17 days now our political analyst joins us from washington, as well. john, good morning to you. >> good morning, chris. >> let me ask you, off bill's piece, the star power will it have the ability to stem the excitement cattied by the tea party? >> it's the best democrats can do at this moment. no, it can't match the power and enthusiasm in the tea party. but, right now, democrats are just trying to build something within their core base which has come home, as they say, in the last few weeks but which democrats really need to turn out in order to save themselves in some of these tough districts so democrats can hopefully keep control of the house and senate. >> let's talk about this, too bill mentioned a second ago. some candidates throwing their hands in the air. according to the "new york times" estimates 33 running toss-up races and on the senate
5:14 am
side about six candidates could potentially win handily there. so, what happens when these tea party candidates become congressmen and congresswomen, how will these things change? >> well it will be evermore exciting in washington when they get here t. depends whether republicans gain control of the house or senate, in terms of their influence and also will be different in the house and the senate, even just one member of the senate can really box things up. and that's already been the case with some conservative republicans, who sort of were tea party before it had a name. and so, it will be exciting and complicated for the republican leaders, who still have to balance their party and all the members in it in washington. but, it's clear that these tea party-backed candidates are coming to washington not to play along and so we should see some early indications of conflict between the leaders and the new tea party members. >> let me ask you this, do these tea party members become their
5:15 am
own caucus or have to move more mainstream, what do they have to do? >> well, the tea party members will come to washington and, yes, there is a tea party caucus in the house and they will have an early notoriety, particularly if they are seen as responsible for giving republicans control of the house or the senate or both. and so, yes, they will get a lot of notoriety and they will be able to dictate, in some sense, the direction of the new leadership if republicans do take control. but again, it's about getting the votes and so the republican leaders will have to balance the needs of all their members. >> how do they do that, in your estimation? they have to be saying to themselv themselves, we have change on the way but maybe not the change we thought we would have. >> it is tricky, particularly in the senate, where the majority leader if republicans take control, which is looking less likely, but it is quite difficult because senators go off and do their own thing and the majority leader has quite a tough time.
5:16 am
so, this will just add more headaches to the republican leader whether the republicans are in charge or not. if republicans take control of the house, it's a little bit easier it keep people in line. >> i want to talk about this interview tomorrow coming out in ""new york times" magazine" the president says i quote giving how much stuff was coming at us we probably spent much more time trying to get the policy right than trying to get the poll tigs right. so, let me ask you this. why is the president speaking like this at this time? >> this is a great piece by peter baker, really gives us a look inside of the president's find. and the reason he's talking like this, he's trying for put a frame, to use a washington cliche, around these difficult election results. and so that basically people have a sense and a way to think about the presidency when the bad news comes in on election night. >> i was going it say he sounds as though he is bracing for a rough morning on november 3rd. >> he knows it's going to be a rough morning sew wants hopefully people to think, instead of thinking, boy what a terrible job barack obama does d and this is a referendum on him, he would prefer them to think,
5:17 am
you know, he was in there doing just the right thing and paid a political price no it, a little more gentle of a story than perhaps some of the others that might come out. >> the article goes on to talk about the president already kind of beginning to think about how to reinvent himself like an obama 2.0 here. can i ask you, do you have any idea what this new model will look like. >> the white house knows and has known for some time they are going to have a lot more republicans in town and, in fact, may have to deal with republican leadership. basically, it means reaching out and the president still does now how to put on a good show and you could expect kind of an effort to reach out and sort of redefine washington on his terms because everybody will be talking about the new republicans in town. >> all right. john dickerson, thanks again for getting up early and joining us this morning, appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. now the rest of the morning's headlines kendis gibson joins us now. >> good morning. we're going to start overseas. coalition forces in afghanistan have allowed taliban

been a case of mistaken identity and this week, the lead mexican investigator in the case, he was also murdered, chris. >> another twist in this case right now. and now to add to that, we have new developments this morning. we find out last night the fbi is now further involved in this case, rather, talking with david's wife. also, we're going to talk with his mom and dad in the next couple of minutes obviously a very difficult time for them. but this case, you know, again the mistaken identity, which kind of brought to our attention the last couple of days just adds yet another sad twist to this case. >> so many layers and the parents, of course, have now reached out to the secretary of state hillary clinton and are hoping for some sort of action some, sort of closure, i'm sure. >> exactly. we'll talk with them up next. you are watching "the early show" here on cbs. st [ male announcer ] how can you retire at age 55? just ask jerry brown. he gave california state employees collective bargaining powers. since then the unions have grown stronger and stronger. now state employees

5:31 am
>> everybody loves to be in love, right. >> absolutely. >> first the latest on the case of an american murdered while jet skiing on a lake along the u.s.-mexican border. here is our correspondent don teeing. >> a disappointing toned a tragic series of events on falcon lake after the lead investigator in the murder of david hartley was himself murdered by members of a brutal drug cartel, the search for hartly's body was called off this week, according to the state department due to the tragic death of the investigator and dangerous conditions on the ground. mexican officials say the fbi is now involved in the investigation of hartly's murder. authorities on both sides of the border have spent two weeks searching for hartly's remains. he was shot in the head while jet skiing with his wife tiffany on the mexican side of the lake in what some experts believe was a case of mistaken identity. enforceres from the drug cartel may have thought the hartleys were rival drug smugglers,
5:32 am
tiffany's heartache made much worse knowing her husband will probably never have a proper burial. >> i know what they are hiding what they've done but have some compassion sgort and who is really in coal of the border. that's a question u.s. lawmickrs want answered. >> the falcon lake homicide committed against david hartley explains and shows in detail, first of all that, the drug cartels have operational control of portions of the texas-mexico border. the second thing it shows us is that the mexican government, unfortunately, because of corruption and incompetence, is not able to handle the drug cartels on their side of the border. >> reporter: today, tiffany hartley is preparing to move back to colorado and looking for ways to rebuild her shattered life. don teague, cbs news, dallas. >> david hartley's parents, dennis and pam hartley join us from denver this morning. good morning to the both of you. we thank you for joining us. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> i know this is difficult.
5:33 am
pam, i'll start by asking you, the fbi we're hearing reports now they are playing a supporting role. do they plan on reaching out to you, as well? we know they've been interviewing tiffany, but what can you say to this? >> we have been in contact, when we were in mcallen, with the fbi, that, you know, you have all the authority, the agencies down there involved in trying to resolve this. >> dennis, let me ask you this, were you surprised to learn that the mexican authorities have called off the search for your son? >> not really. it's -- they're really not that well equipped to carry out a good search and be safe during a search. it would take a fairly good force of people to secure the ar area, so it does not surprise me. it is a dangerous area for them
5:34 am
to conduct a search. >> do you feel, though, with the fbi's help that this is going to aid greatly in the search for your son? >> i think anything will help at this point. to have the fbi involved in any other federal agency to keep the communication lines going with the mexican government. >> when you had heard that the mexican investigator had been killed, who was one of the lead investigator in the search for your son did you, at that point, think, boy, this obviously is not good but this is really going to mean people are going to kind of back off the search for our son? >> yes. when i heard that, i was just shocked and sad in that another son or father or husband has been lost and it's just very tragic event that took place there. >> david wouldn't want anybody putting their life, you know, in danger to hunt for him. i know he wouldn't. >> pam, when you had first heard
5:35 am
this story, could you believe that something like this could happen and now to hear that there is a potential mistaken identity, i mean i guess to now fully understand the violence and the climate down there on the u.s.-mexican border, has this been kind of all very not only tragic but surreal? >> yes. i mean, it's not like they were tourists, you know. they lived in reynosa for like two and a half years and they knew the areas. and to know that they were almost home and this happens and that they were just out to take pictures of the church, i mean, david loves history and that was something he wanted to do before they came home. they've wanted to do this for a long time. and just to know that they were down there taking pictures and that, it just -- it doesn't seem real. >> pam, i know you've appealed to secretary hill larry clinton
5:36 am
mother to mother for authorities to search for your son. have you been satisfied with the american government's response to this? i'll ask you both. >> i know that the communication has to come from upper level in the government, and that's what i was pleading from hillary clinton and obama to -- it's like, please, you know, talk with mexico, try to resolve this, get david back. and alls i wanted, what we wanted, is just to know what they're doing, you know, what information can we get so we know what's being done in. >> dennis, let me ask you -- >> why, i think the -- >> go ahead. >> -- i think the information was just slow in coming and very delay
5:37 am
delayed. sometimes we would hear things going on and then a few hours later hear that it wasn't and it just seemed like it was just -- just really not hearing a lot of, you know, good information or as to, at that time, what involvement there was of any u.s. agencies at that time. >> dennis and pam hartley, we know this is a difficult time for you. we do thank you for talking with us this morning. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> we do wish you the best. all right. now time for another check of the weather, for that we join lonnie quinn. lonnie? >> good morning, everybody. lots of nice people on the plaza today, all kinds of signs. i'll point this one out because, oh, yeah, i nailed this one, i was looking at this before and thinking can we wear tutus in class. what's your name. >> julie. >> it doesn't say that, does it? >> no. >> it says? >> tutus. >> but to my credit isn't there to be a hyphen? hello to the columbus youth ballet, both the gals there,

for just $2.50. americans are starting to spen money again. retail sales posted a third monthly increase in september with solid gains in autos, furnts and hardware store is it a good sign for our economy rebounding? joining us to help us answer that question fox business network anchor brian sullivan. great to see you, brian gimplsts morning. >> drew: have positives on the one handing but still also have 9.6% unemployment in this country. home sales haven't yet rebounded. the stock market's rebounding a little bit, though. how does that all shake out, in your opinion? where are we really in this recovery. >> i think the retail sales number as you pointed out, rebecca, probably the buzz thing we've got it in a while. like it or not the economy is about 70 to 75% consumer spending, were rea consumption economy. if we spend money we can take ourselves out of the economic malaise. people are nerve slous, joblessness is up people want a
5:43 am
good job maybe have a part-time job, that's also up. housing is down. the retail sales number probably the best piece of economic data and revision up in august we've had in a long time. good to see. >> in terms of where things stand at the federal reserve, we know the federal reserve is the governing body overseeing the economy right now. they may actually do their own form of stimulus to try and stimulate the economy but what will that really mean? >> well it's a double-edged sword because what you are talking about is quantitative easing and i promised i wouldn't say that, but i have to basically the federal reserve buying debt to drive interest rates down. we think lower interest rates are good. you go to buy a house, you would like to pay less of an interest rate, right? the problem, if you are a senior citizen, a retiree on a fixed income maybe a bond investments as your income it's bad for you. the fed is in that rock and a hard place. we want low interest rates to spur people like rebecca jarvis to buy a home but at the same time if you are 70 years old and need the interest income from
5:44 am
government bonds, now you are making pretty much nothing i think is the appropriate term. so, there's your battle. >> the fact of the matter is, even though mortgage rates are at all-time lows 4.17% this week for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, most people aren't going out and using that to buy a new home. at best, they are using it to refinance it. >> i call it the flat-panel tv sen drome. you go to best buy and think, i would really like that tv but know months it will probably be lower priced. that's how people are viewing the housing market seeing housing as a declining asset and think things may get worse in housing before they get better and hear the foreclosure scandals this moratorium, foreclosure-gate, whatever you what towant to call it. interest rates are great but the other two things will supersede how i feel, that's hurting the market. >> in your view, what ultimately does wall street want to see and is that also going to be
5:45 am
beneficial to the american people? >> wall street needs to see three things, jobs, jobs, jobs. >> yes, the same thing the american people want. >> that's it. you mentioned at the top 9.6% unemployment. we need to see the job market come back. if we do not seat job market come back, the economy will not come back. >> thank you so much, brian sullivan. >> always a pleasure. >> i think that really is the bottom of it all, the bottom line, jobs. thanks to being with us. >> rebecca, did i hear you are buying a house? >> absolutely not. absolutely not. >> thank you. just ahead love can break your heart in two. now science says it can act as a powerful pain reliever as potent at morphine. can you believe it? we're going to prove it to you next. we've got the latest. you're watching "the early show" here on cbs. love is in the air. ♪ where'd you learn to do that so well. ♪ ♪ where'd you learn to do that so well. ♪

5:49 am
feelings of love may be more potent than morphine in relieving pain. jennifer ashton, kind enough to get up and join us this morning. i love this study from stanford, undergrads at stanford, wildly, recklessly. >> madly in love. >> can you describe that before we get started. >> we've all been there. >> let's talk about. this they say this can mimic kind of the effects of morphine. >> well, i don't know if we are quite there yet but in theory, yes, this is really something that looked at mind versus body, pain versus pleasure. thinking versus feeling, small study out of stanford as you said looked at 15 undergrads madly in love, gave them a painful stimulus, they had to hold a hot temperature while they looked at a picture of their lover. the others were just shown a picture of someone that they knew but weren't wildly in love with. guess what they found those who looked at their lover really did not feel the same pain. they had a 45% reduction in their perception of moderate
5:50 am
pain and a 12% reduction in their feeling of severe pain. >> wow. i guess the picture of the person they were not that fond of, that hurts. i was barely touching you. relax, please. >> exactly. >> what's the theory behind all this? >> they are not really sure but involves a chemical in the brain known as dopamine. areas in the brain called reward or pleasure centers, they are really stimulated as you experience feelings of love, of the same as they are with gambling or even exercise, chris. so, this is an area that could, in the ture, be targeted by certain medications for people who have chronic pain. >> i mean, is that how it helps you and? i it sounds, i guess, kind of a fun study one of those undergraduates lining up around the campus dorm to get in on this but how does it help? >> in theory, this is something that could be targeted for more areas of research because we know people who live with chronic pain really suffer and would like to offer them more than medication. the other continuing shows and
5:51 am
really underscores this, chris, if you are dealing with pain, whether chronic or acute, you really don't want to withdraw from the people around you who give you the most loving and supportive social relationships. that can be very easy to do when you are in pain. you don't want to be with those people. this study really suggests actually you do want to be with them. >> i guess kind of goes, hey, carry pictures of people you love in your wallet. >> and be around them. >> let me ask, i guess the flip side if you don't have that real -- >> not madly in love. >> exactly. i mean, especially like with the example you showed us of the dopamine, the chemical reaction in the brain can, that still happen, mimic that without being in love. >> excellent question. two things can stimulate that center, one is exercise, you know this feeling very well, the endorph endorphins you get with exercise. some people dealing with pain say i don't want to exercise, actually if you push that you can get this stimulation. the other thing the study found, distraction, if you take your mind off the pain, the stimulus they were holding, you actually
5:52 am
can get the same result. if you are not in love, either exercise or distract yourself. >> whatever it takes, folks, different strokes for different folks. thank you dr. ashton. >> you're welcome. >> for more go our partner in health webmd.com and search "romantic love" pretty easy. coming up, the inside story behind the speech everyone has been talking about. wait until you hear this. that's coming up. this is "the early show" here on cbs.

6:10 am
the norman, oklahoma city council meeting at which some anti-gay rhetoric was baentsed about and after which he took his life and i thought, you know, if this kid in oklahoma commits suicide after going to a city council meeting, i certainly am warranted to utilize my time at my city council meeting in texas to talk about this issue. i literally wrote it out during lunch, it was very raw and very fresh. i think if i had given myself some time to kind of self-edit i might not have had such an emotional speech or talk but i think that that was part of the poi nancy of it. >> you spoke from the heart, it seems. that's probably what counts the most. the reaction that you got from your fellow council members and other people that were there, did that surprise you at all? >> a little bit. i have an older council member colleague in his late 70s, very, very conservative. he and i don't always see eye to eye on certain things. at the end of my talk he was crying and he hugged me and that was a nice feeling. >> this has gone viral over the internet right now over half
6:11 am
million views in a short period of time after you did make this speech does. that surprise, at all, it's gotten to be as big as it is? >> yes, very much so. you know, i was really focused, the goal for me was two-fold, one to tell kids in ft. worth or wherever they were watching to give them hope in a dark time, things will get better but they just have though hang out and stay put long enough to make that happen and also a message for the adults to remind them we have a role and responsibility, as adults, to make sure that the schoolplace and otherwise bullying our teens are facing is addressed. and so, that was the goal. it's been an amazing couple of days since. >> yeah. the reaction that you've gotten, obviously sounds as though it's been very positive. has there been one message that stood out from whether from like you said the hug from the fellow councilmember or a teen that has reached out you to? >> i have talked for a number of teens on phone. i gave out my phone number during that speech and have gotten something like 800 phone calls since. i've had to enlist an army of
6:12 am
friends and family to help volunteer to make sure the calls get answered and, obviously, i've got other roles to do besides in this week. but, this has been kind of all-consuming. but, the most poignant one, i think, was a young teenager in australia. and a friend of his e-mailed me and she and i have had a conversation back and forth about how he was -- she knew he was in a dark place, in a bad place and asked him to watch it and he said i was planning this weekend to kill myself and i've had a number of kids like that i've talked to. >> we appreciate you coming up here talking to us. >> happy to be here. >> we thank you very much. >> thank you. >> councilman burns, thank you. rebecca. >> coming up, five tricks of the trade restaurants use that have you eating out of their hands and dishing out your dollars. we're going to show you how to take care of it. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. the tissue beneath the enamel. the dentin contains these channels that lead directly to the nerve center. cold and heat travel through these channels

6:18 am
going with a protein like chicken. >> absolutely. >> speaking of the proteins, seafood, it is always way more expensive, in my opinion on other things in the menu but you say restaurants are replacing certain seafoods to save a little money? >> here and there you will find restaurants every once in a while will swap a fish, for numerous reasons it could be that that one fish is a little fresher than the other. but, you know, for example, this is snapper and this is talapia. >> one is much less expensive. >> this is about $15 and this is about five. just buying it from a grocery amplsts company could be trying to make a lot of money off of you. also, we have the specials, very enticing when you walk in but you say be ware. why. >> again, like at home we take our leftovers and toss them into a pot and make things like chicken pot pie or stews and soups, restaurants do the exact same thing. it doesn't mean it is not tasty or good. it just means that they are
