good morning. house arrest. dominique strauss-kahn is out of jail and in a temporary safe house this morning. now the former head of the international monetary fund begins the fight against sexual assault charges that could put him behind bars for 25 years. lance armstrong. in a stunning new report, "60 minutes" has learned that at least three of cycling champion lance armstrong's teammates have told federal authorities that he used performance-enhancing drugs. we'll have the latest on the revelations in this "60 minutes" investigation. and doomsday. according to scripture the end of the world will happen sometime today. and around the globe a few are preparing. but for others, it might actually be good for business.
5:01 am
we'll have all that and much more "early" this saturday we'll have all that and much more "early" this saturday morning, may 21st, 2011. captioning funded by cbs good morning on a sparkling new york city day. hopefully not the last day of the world. we'll have more on that. >> yeah. >> i'm russ mitchell. >> and good morning, i'm rebecca jarvis. good morning, russ. >> good morning. a lot to get to this morning. the latest on that stunning "60 minutes" investigation, alleging that seven-time tour de france champion lance armstrong cheated by using performance-enhancing drugs. >> armstrong denies the allegations. but "60 minutes" spoke with a former teammate of armstrong's who says otherwise. and according to the report, more teammates, they have come forward to federal authorities. but first we begin with the developing story on the former managing director of the international monetary fund. once one of the most powerful men in the world, he is now out on bail and under house arrest this morning. he was released from jail after being accused of sexually
5:02 am
assaulting a hotel maid, and cbs news correspondent michelle miller is outside the temporary home of dominique strauss-kahn here in new york. michelle, good morning. >> and good morning, rebecca. dominique strauss-kahn will spend the next several days in downtown manhattan, confined to an apartment in this building, watched round the clock by a private security firm he's paying for. dominique strauss-kahn was transported from rikers island to lower manhattan, where he'll stay under house arrest. he's put up a million dollars in cash, and $5 million in insurance, and will have a $200,000 a month security team, with armed guards and electronic monitoring. he was supposed to stay here, but the location went public. and the defense had to come up with another plan. >> the reason that he had to move is because members of the press attempted to invade his private residence. >> reporter: prosecutors had argued that astronaut kahn was a flight risk and should be kept
5:03 am
in jail. last saturday police took him off a flight about to leave for france, a country that doesn't extradite its citizens. >> if he really is a serious flight risk, and we are worried about him showing up for trial, why is he allowed to be on house arrest? >> reporter: strauss-kahn is accused of assaulting a maid in this hotel a week ago. he's been indicted on seven counts of attempted rape and sexual abuse. charges that carry up to 25 years in prison. >> the restrictions, and the conditions for bail have been sort of growing over time. >> reporter: attorney jeff ard leffcourt has defended high profile white collar suspects for years. >> in this type of, you know, situation people get bail. and they come back to court at an appropriate time. this is really bizarre. >> and strauss-kahn could only leave this building under certain conditions. for religious reasons, for medical reasons, to see his attorney, or to appear in court. and he must get permission, in
5:04 am
advance, from the district attorney and the judge to do so. his next court date is june 6th. rebecca? >> thank you so much, michelle miller from midtown manhattan. for some perspective on the strauss-kahn case we turn to defense attorney and legal analyst jami floyd. michelle just sort of painted a picture of what strauss-kahn is going through right now. and you say there are actually some advantages to him being out on bail in this lower manhattan apartment. explain that. >> well, absolutely. if he were behind bars any time his lawyers wanted to consult with him, to prepare his strategy for court, they'd have to go to rikers. they'd have to go through security. it would be very, very limited in terms of their access to him in preparation for trial. which will be lengthy, i assume. because he's probably not going to exercise his speedy trial right. and so now they have unlimited access to him. and he can, as michelle reported, also leave with the judge's permission to go to their offices and prepare for trial. so, in terms of just the
5:05 am
preparation for defense, this is much, much preferable. also, in terms of his psychology, his appearance to the potential jury pool, this is better. so, all across the board, this is far preferable. >> what kind of strategy do you think the defense is going to be employing here? >> well, this is now going to become a battle of images between the accuser and the defendant. they're going to start to portray him as an upstanding man, as a businessman, as someone who, though he may have been, as the french would call him, a lady's man, he is not a rapist. he is not an attacker. and that's part of why they wanted him out of prison, right? i would suggest they think about exercising the speedy trial right and really put the prosecution to its proof and make them get to court sooner, rather than later. but that's what they'll begin starting first thing monday morning, if not today, to start to think about their trial strategy. >> when this kind of case, such a high-profile case, comes up, oftentimes people wonder whether or not there will be a fair trial. do you believe that is a possibility with all the media coverage of the event?
5:06 am
>> well, there sure has been a whole lot of pretrial publicity in this case already. and many people, if you go out on the street and ask them, do you think strauss-kahn is guilty, they're probably going to say yes at this point. but we've had highly publicized trials from the very beginning of our country. you go back to aaron burr, you think about fatty arbuckle, michael jackson, o.j. simpson, but in the end they get fair trials. especially somebody like strauss-kahn who has all kinds of resources. he has the best lawyers money can buy. if anybody can match the state dollar for dollar, witness for witness, expert for expert, it's somebody like strauss-kahn and i think he can get a fair trial in our system. >> speaking of those resources he got a severance from the imf. something like $300,000. are there restrictions on how he can spend that money? >> no. he's innocent until proven guilty. and he can use his money as he sees fit at this point in time. there's no restriction on how he can spend his money. there's just restriction on where he can go. he cannot leave that apartment without the judge's permission.
5:07 am
he can do whatever he wants inside that apartment, within the terms of that bail package. but he can continue to live his life as a businessman within the confines of that apartment. >> jami floyd, great insight. >> appreciate it. >> and now here's russ. >> okay, rebecca, thank you very much. when israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu addresses congress on tuesday he's expected to press israel's case for secure borders. this after he and president obama had a chilly meeting on friday to discuss how to restart those stalemated israeli/palestinian peace talks. cbs news correspondent whit johnson is at the white house this morning. whit, good morning. >> russ, good morning to you. the private meeting between president obama and prime minister netanyahu lasted longer than 90 minutes. more than twice the scheduled time. they emerged for public comments, revealing no major progress, and a relationship that is still clearly on ice. their demeanor was cordial but calculated. >> our ultimate goal has to be a
5:08 am
secure israeli state, a jewish state, living side by side in peace and security with a contiguous, functioning, and effective palestinian state. >> reporter: president obama spoke first. his comments measured and lacking in detail. but israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu followed with a lecture that was laser focused. >> we both agree that a peace based on illusions will crash eventually on the middle eastern reality. >> reporter: his impassioned remarks shot directly at president obama. who sat silently with little emotion. in private, netanyahu was reportedly furious over the president's stunning proposal a day earlier. >> we believe the borders of israel and palestine should be based on the 1967 lines, with mutually agreed swaps. >> reporter: those borders, which are a key palestinian demand, existed before israel's takeover of jerusalem, gaza, and the west bank. >> it cannot go back to these
5:09 am
1967 lines. because these lines are indefensible. because they don't take into account certain changes that have taken place on the ground. >> reporter: while the two leaders acknowledge their differences -- >> and that's going to happen between friends. >> reporter: -- both moved beyond the tension in the room, and reiterated their commitment to at least talk about a peaceful compromise between israelis and palestinians. one that has failed to progress for decades. >> israel want peace. i want peace. what we all want is a peace that will be genuine. >> the united nations, the european union, and russia, are all now backing president obama's vision. he'll face another tough audience tomorrow, though, when he speaks before a top pro-israel lobby group here in washington. russ? >> whit johnson he is white house. thanks a lot, whit. also in washington is former ambassador mark ginsberg, who's
5:10 am
lived in israel, egypt, jordan and lebanon. he served as u.s. ambassador to morocco under president clinton. ambassador, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> you've been involved in a number of these high-level discussions before. i wonder what's you're watching this frosty photo-op yesterday, what do you think? >> i'm more concerned about the fact that there seems to be this theoretical discussion over borders when the peace process itself is completely stalled, and the palestinians are focused on generating a u.n. general assembly resolution calling for recognition of a palestinian state, around those '67 borders. the united states and israel have obviously some disagreement here. but at the same time, it's going to take the united states to help get the peace -- stalled peace process under way, russ. and without direct presidential involvement, the president can make all the statements that he wishes, but unless the parties sit down to actually do the negotiating, we're really talking in the clouds here. >> as whit pointed out, of course, the president made that
5:11 am
1967 border proposal at his speech on thursday, the day before the meeting with netanyahu. why do you think they made -- he made the statement that day, when the white house had to know that was going to be controversial? and who was he speaking to, the president i'm speaking about, was he speaking to the arab world or the israelis? >> i don't think he was speaking to the israelis. in a 15-page speech this one sentence seems to be the fixation of the entire world. and he was speaking largely to the arab world. the speech was about the arab spring. the united states policy to the arab spring. and lo and behold, the president inserts this line, i think it was really, from what i've heard, some sort of compromise, a last-minute compromise between his resigning negotiator, george mitchell, who wanted a comprehensive statement by the president on the u.s. policy towards a comprehensive peace, and the president deciding to insert this sentence, and yet, this statement more or less, russ, has been an accepted part
5:12 am
of negotiation folklore for years. i really don't understand why it's become such a major controversy, when secretary of state clinton and others have discussed this with israel before. i think it comes down to the fact that the president really blindsided israel here, and in a speech which was supposed to be largely focussed on the arab spring, it basically focused on u.s./israeli relations as a result. >> interesting. two quick questions, how do israelis view president obama at this point? >> i think there's concern. i think he is personally popular in israel. i think, however, there's concern that he seems to be focused so much on the palestinian equation. and the president needs to go to israel, talk detectively to the israeli people. he has to gain their confidence that he has their best interests at heart. and he hasn't done that yet. >> ambassador, the relationship between prime minister netanyahu and president obama, is this something that can be saved at this point? >> oh, i think these gentlemen have talked quite a bit behind the scenes. we tend to overexaggerate because of this type of
5:13 am
exchange, and disagreement. but i know that from my colleagues in israel, that the president, and the prime minister talk quite often privately, and that their relationship is not, obviously, the closest and the friendliest, but i think the two of them have a reasonable business relationship. look, this disagreement is not going to undermine the core strategic relationship between israel and the united states. >> ambassador mark ginsberg, as always, we appreciate your insight. we'll see you next time. >> thank you, russ. >> rebecca? >> russ, thank you. the fbi and homeland security have issued a warning to oil and natural gas companies that al qaeda considered blowing up oil tankers to try to create an economic crisis. cbs news correspondent bob orr reports. >> reporter: al qaeda made its terror reputation with deadly attacks like 9/11 and the african embassy bombing. large-scale strikes with massive death tolls. but documents and handwritten notes recovered from osama bin laden's compound reveal the group also hoped to trigger economic turmoil, hijacking and blowing up oil tankers.
5:14 am
a new fbi and homeland security advisory says in 2010, bin laden's group discussed targeting tankers, sought information about the construction of the ships, and considered ways to commandeer the vessels. al qaeda has successfully attacked ships before. 17 american sailors were killed in october 2000, when a small boat loaded with explosives rammed the "uss cole." but sources say there is no evidence the oil tanker idea ever developed into an actual plot. in a statement, the department of homeland security said, quote, we are not aware of any specific or imminent terrorist attack plotting against the oil industry in the u.s., or overseas. tankers are not the only potential target on al qaeda's wish list. bin laden's papers showed to the end he dreamed of attacking planes, trains, and u.s. infrastructure. now the cia is working around the clock to find out if any of those dreams have produced a real developing threat. bob orr, cbs news, washington.
5:15 am
and now here's russ. >> thank you, rebecca. republican presidential hopefuls were quick to pounce on president obama's middle east speech. here with a look at a very busy week for the gop is cbs news political correspondent jan crawford. jan, good morning to you. >> good morning, russ. >> talk about these 2012 hopefuls. newt gingrich, not a great week for him, caught some flak from his own party. we found out about a very huge bill from tiffany's jewellers and he had glitter thrown on him in minneapolis this week 47 how would you assess newt gingrich's week? >> well, it's not one that i think most people would like to relive. it's not over for him. i mean, but it was a significant hit. that he took this week. it started last sunday when he made those comments about republicans, and congressman paul ryan's budget plan, conservatives were furious, and democrats already have taken what he said and criticizing those republicans and put them in campaign ads that they can run against some of the republican contenders. >> again, you say it's not over for him at this point? >> no. >> gotcha. but move on to mitt romney. he seems to be the front-runner
5:16 am
at this point. he's going to be in south carolina today. is it fair, jan, to call him the front-runner at this point? >> well, yes, i think so. and i think we can call romney the front-runner and could have since 2008 when he lost the nomination to john mccain. over the past few years he's really been trying to find of put together his operation with an eye on a presidential bid in 2012. and he's raising a significant amount of money. one day this week he took in more than $10 million in one day. so he's got a fund-raising machine. and he's not really lighting a fire with conservatives. and we've seen some backlash from conservatives directed at mitt romney, too. >> minnesota congresswoman michele bachmann going to iowa on thursday. what do you think? is she going to be announcing something soon? >> my sources tell me that they expect michele bachmann to get in this race, and that we can see an announcement from her as soon as the end of next week. although it will probably be more like june when she jumps in the race. and she could be a real game changer in this race. a significant player in iowa. she's very popular with social conservatives, and some of those tea party activists.
5:17 am
so i think she could really light a spark with some of those groups. >> a lot of action coming out of minnesota this political season. the former minnesota governor tim pawlenty expected to announce on monday. is there a big hole in the race now that mike huckabee has said he's not going to run? >> well, there is. that, of course, opens up a real opening for social conservatives like michele bachmann. tim pawlenty was hoping to attract a lot of those voters and assemble a broad section of conservatives so that he could come in and beat that presumptive front-runner mitt romney. so bachmann's entry in the race may be not really -- may not be so good for tim pawlenty. but some of these other developments that we saw this week will help pawlenty. newt gingrich has stumbled, romney's kind of lack of enthusiasm that conservatives are feeling for him. so he actually does have an opening, i think, and so as bad as the week was for newt gingrich, i think this was actually a pretty good week for tim pawlenty. then, of course, he's going to be announcing officially with a lot of drama and maybe some confetti, not glitter, in des moines on monday.
5:18 am
>> jan crawford, thanks a lot. see you later. a programming note now, former house speaker newt gingrich will be bob schieffer's guest on "face the nation" this sunday on cbs. it is coming up on 18 minutes past the hour. let's go that away to betty nguyen, look at the rest of the day's headlines. >> good morning, guys. good morning to you. at least 15 people are dead in pakistan this morning following a terror attack on a tanker truck carrying fuel to nato forces in afghanistan. the tanker caught fire after a bomb attack. a militant group claimed responsibility. pakistani officials say the victims died when they tried to siphon fuel from the truck after the fire appeared to be out, but then the truck exploded. at least 14 other tankers were damaged in a separate bombing. in syria at least 44 people are dead in another brutal crackdown on anti-government demonstrators. the latest deaths come as thousands took to the streets after friday prayers. it was one of the deadliest days since the uprising began two months ago.
5:19 am
syria blames the deaths on what it describes as armed groups. a three inch gash in the belly of the space shuttle "endeavour" forced astronauts to inspect the damage with robotic cameras. nasa officials ordered a closer look at the thermal tiles near the landing gear and said there was no reason to be alarmed. this is the next-to-last space shuttle flight, and nasa says i wants to be certain the six astronauts on board are safe when they re-enter the atmosphere on june 1st. a five-mile stretch of the mississippi river remains closed around baton rouge, louisiana, this morning. unusually swift currents were strong enough to break three barges away from a tow boat on friday. three barges sank, but there were no injuries. and on the 11th day of jury selection in the casey anthony murder trial, a jury from clearwater, florida, has finally been sworn in. 12 jurors, and 5 alternates, will now head to orlando to hear testimony that will ultimately decide whether anthony killed
5:20 am
her 2-year-old daughter. cbs news correspondent elaine quijano reports. >> reporter: after two weeks of hard questions and emotional displays, a jury's about to hear the murder case against casey anthony. a mother charged with killing her own daughter, 2-year-old caylee anthony, back in 2008. the little girl disappeared in june of that year. but her mother waited a month to report the child was missing. and in that same month, photos later showed she went out partying with friends. from the start, this case has drawn fury and outrage. and on friday, that emotion flared in the clearwater courtroom when a spectator called casey a murderer. >> she already killed somebody. >> reporter: the woman who claimed to be mentally ill apologized for the outburst. >> i'm very sorry. i'm so sorry. >> reporter: but the damage was done. the judge had to excuse a potential juror, who heard the outburst. and after intense media scrutiny, finding a viable jury
5:21 am
was a challenge. even 100 miles from the scene of the alleged crime. >> i think she's guilty. >> i feel she committed the crime. >> reporter: opening statements are slated for tuesday morning in orlando. if convicted, casey faces the death penalty. elaine quijano, cbs news, new york. in other news, they haven't seen each other at fenway park in boston since 1918. but, friday night the chicago cubs and boston red sox squared off for the first time in 93 years. boston won 15-5, behind a 19-hit attack. for generations, though, the two teams battled each other for the title of lovable losers. until the red sox won a pair of championships during the last decade. now, the cubs, they have not won a world series since 1908. poor cubs. hopefully they don't have to wait another 100 years to win a world series. >> thanks, betty. earlier she asked me if i was at that game in 1918. >> i did not!
5:22 am
>> thanks for not going there, betty. >> okay. >> yeah, well i had my money on the cubs so i'm really sad today. >> chicago girl. >> yes, of course. lonnie quinn has our first check of the weather. lonnie, we have some sun finally in new york. >> you know what? all part of my headlines for the northeast. that's right. the sunshine has returned to the northeast. new york city, after seven days in the soup, with the rain, today the sun is back. 90s from south carolina to florida. the mississippi valley, well you have the storms out there. when you take a look at a satellite and radar picture, always our eyes get drawn to the bright colored areas. that's right here along the mississippi. the southern tier, as this front pushes through. so, for places like springfield, little rock, jackson, when that line goes through today, it's going through right now, there will be flash flooding. one to two inches of rainfall. a slight chance that some of those storms could become severe. but for the most part this will be a fast-moving system, better tomorrow.
5:23 am
>> all right, everybody, you make it a great day. >> thanks, lonnie. >> coming up a six-month investigation by "60 minutes" turns up doping charges against seven-time tour de france winner lance armstrong. this time by a former teammates. we'll take a look at these new allegations. and the cash crisis caused by high gas prices. how a simple phone call can help you save on your monthly bills. mary! hey!

5:30 am
nice day here in new york city, waking up to your saturday morning. welcome to "the early show," i'm rebecca jarvis. >> and i'm russ mitchell. >> it might be a nice day, but there's certainly some trepidation starting off this morning. >> buzz in the air. >> for example, the "new york daily news" they have this cover today. they say, some say the world will end today, so buy this paper if it's the last thing you do. well, we're talking -- >> we bought it. >> we bought it right here at cbs news. some are calling this, obviously, the rapture. others are calling it doomsday. no matter how you describe it, a religious broadcaster is predicting that the world will
5:31 am
end tonight. we're going to take a look, however, at how predictions of the apocalypse have yet to come true. but they are really great for business. people love to cash in on disasters, and this is cashing in on the idea of a disaster potentially coming ahead. >> maybe i'll have that big mac for lunch today. >> i already had one for breakfast. perfect. >> all right. also high gasoline prices are forcing most americans to change the way they live. some are cutting back on vacations. others are skipping on prescription drugs. in order to fill their tanks. we'll have more on that. >> you might not even need to know about it, but assuming that the world doesn't end today, how to beat the cash crisis with tips on saving money on everything from your cable bill to your mortgage. and it all takes just a phone call. and believe me, it's one you want to make. >> let's get to our top story this half hour. during his entire career lance armstrong was dogged by allegations that he used performance-enhancing drugs, but now the seven-time tour de france winner is facing his most serious accusations yet, uncovered during a "60 minutes"
5:32 am
investigation. cbs news chief investigative correspondent armen keteyian is here with details. good morning. >> good morning. i've covered the tour for five, seven years. this is by far the biggest mess that lance has ever been in. armstrong continues to deny any legal doping, attack being former teammate tyler hamilton who accuses him on "60 minutes" as not credible. but right now, lance armstrong is in the biggest mess of his life. >> lance armstrong! >> reporter: true to form, when threatened by rival riders, or his now-damning doping accusations, lance armstrong went on the offensive. his current target, a six-month "60 minutes" investigation from correspondent scott pelley, set to air this sunday. one of its most startling new claims, that three ex-teammates of armstrong have provided sworn testimony to a federal grand jury in los angeles that they witnessed the seven-time tour de france champion taking performance-enhancing drugs. >> it appears the federal investigation, with its subpoenas and sworn grand jury testimony, has broken cycling's code of silence.
5:33 am
we don't know how many u.s. postal riders were using performance-enhancing drugs. but we have learned that it at least three have told federal authorities they used banned substances, and witnessed armstrong using them, too. one of those riders is armstrong's other close teammate george hincappie. we're told for the first time hincappie has testified to federal investigators that he and armstrong supplied each other with the blood booster epo and discussed having used testosterone, another banned substance, during their preparations for races. through his attorney, hincapie declined to be interviewed, citing the ongoing investigation. >> reporter: out west where the prestigious tour of california is winding down, fanses expressed a mix of emotions about the armstrong allegations. >> he was tested more than any other athlete's ever been tested. hundreds of times he was tested. and every time he was tested, he was tested negative.
5:34 am
so how you going to prove it? >> but there's a whole bunch of people here. so i don't think it's hurting the sport a whole heck of a lot. >> reporter: for all lance armstrong's charges that the people who are accusing him of illegal doping are not credible, no word yet from team armstrong about hincapie's very damaging grand jury testimony. >> the response from armstrong's team to the piece has been very aggressive. >> absolutely. their default position, time after time after time, whether you're a book author, a magazine writer, a mechanic, a masseuse, has been to attack the credibility of the people making the accusations. i don't know everything in the "60 minutes" piece, but i know a lot of it. this is by far the most detailed and i think the most damaging piece that's been done. >> how potentially damaging is hincapie's testimony? >> he is, for lack of a better term, kind of the rosetta stone here. he's the game changer. george is the only rider to ever race with lance side by side on all seven of his tour de france victories.
5:35 am
he's untouched by scandal. he's very quiet. unassuming. but he knows, if anybody knows, it's george. >> the federal investigation is still playing out at this point. how is that going from what we know? >> well, that's a good question, russ, because it -- the grand jury proceedings could wrap up as early as next month. but i'm having a hard time, as a lot of other people, trying to figure out what the government is really trying to accomplish here. lance last raced in 2005 in the tour. he's been retired for a number of years now. and they're not even going to get him on doping charges. it's going to be something to do with defrauding his sponsors for things that happened in another country. so it's going to be very interesting, if there is an indictment, and that's a big if, just where this goes. >> okay. armen keteyian, thanks a lot. >> you're welcome. >> you can see the entire "60 minutes" investigation of those charges against lance armstrong tomorrow night at 7:00 here on cbs. right now it's time for lonnie quinn, another check of the weather. >> good morning, russ. good morning, everybody. right to the headlines we go. summer starts in exactly one month from today.
5:36 am

5:39 am
don't take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding, and seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if you're 75 or older, have kidney problems or a bleeding condition, like stomach ulcers. or if you take aspirin products, nsaids, or blood thinners. tell your doctor about all medicines you take, any planned medical or dental procedures, and don't stop taking pradaxa without your doctor's approval, as stopping may increase your stroke risk. other side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning. if you have afib not caused by a heart valve problem, ask your doctor if pradaxa can reduce your risk of a stroke.

5:41 am
>> may 21, 2011. is the day of judgment. >> reporter: a prophesy preached by 89-year-old engineer harold camping, a self-taught publical sage. >> you and i are living at the time of the end of the world. >> reporter: he pinpointed this date from newspapererological calculations revealed by his reading of the bible. he spread his prophesy around the world on his family radio network. on caravans, on 1200 billboards around the country. >> it's going to be a huge earthquake that's going to make the big earthquake in japan seem like a sunday school picnic. >> reporter: true believers are ready to meet their maker. >> i'm convinced it's going to happen, 100%, no shadow of the doubt. >> reporter: family radio spent as much as $1 million on the bi billboard campaign. it can afford to. camping's network was worth about $22 million in 2002.
5:42 am
by 2008 it was valued at more than $117 million. >> he's not spending his own money, mind you. he's spending money that's been sent to family radio by people who have believed this. >> reporter: harold camping earlier predicted the world would end in 1994. many believed him then, too. bill whitaker, cbs news, los angeles. >> believers say doomsday will begin at 6:00 p.m. in each of the world's time zones, beginning with new zealand. reports out of new zealand, where it is now 11:00 p.m., they're all good, new zealand is still standing. still some businesses have learned how to turn a profit from today's doomsday scenario, and joining us with more on that is rod kurtz, executive editor aol small business. great to have you with us, rod. good morning. >> hi, rebecca, happy rapture. >> happyrapture. it is a happy day for the businesses that are making money. i first want to talk to you, though, about camping, and the million dollars he spent, according to bill whitaker's piece, on getting the word out. has he turned a profit on this? is this a profitable thing to
5:43 am
talk about doomsday scenarios? >> well, it's interesting. i mean, they are technically a nonprofit. but as you know, nonprofits bring in a lot of money. as you just heard in the piece we're talking about millions and millions of dollars that they bring in in contributions and there are a lot of creative ways to spend that money, as you're seeing. >> give us the sense for some of the ways, you know, maybe harold camping himself is benefiting from this money? >> yeah, i mean we're talking about a very big operation here. a lot of people are just hearing about camping for the first time. he's not some kook with a youtube channel. he's got something like 350 employees. so this is a really big operation with a lot of money coming in, and with nonprofits, as we've seen over the years, especially religious nonprofits, there are a lot of creative ways to spend that money. >> there are also a number of businesses that have sort of popped up as a result of doomsday. >> yep. >> one is called post-rapture pet care. what in the world is that? >> yeah, we've actually seen a number of pet services pop up. i guess we could call this the rapture stimulus.
5:44 am
we see this a lot of times with big news events like this. for people who are really concerned about this, we're talking about they have hundreds of clients, not thousands, across the country. but they charge a fee, and they promise a lot of these people running these companies are atheists who will be around if the rapture does strike and they've offered to take care of your pets when you're gone. >> so it sounds almost like some insurance plan or something like that. >> yes. and people are, you know, buying into it. i think, you know, if you really are worried about this and it helps you sleep at night, at least for the last night, then taking care of the family dog is priority number one. >> you say there are a couple hundred people who have signed up for that insurance. how about these e-mails? there's some program where in the event of an emergency, an e-mail goes out to your lovered wins. >> yeah. it's, again, usually run by atheists, and they're willing to take your money. sometimes it's $15 at a time. and you prewrite this e-mail that will go out to a few dozen people that you designate. other nonbelievers out there who will still be around when the rapture strikes. >> similar thing with preordered letters. what are some of the other businesses that have popped up
5:45 am
as a result of all this? >> i mean there are literally, if you google it, you've seen hundreds of them. we've seen rapture wear which is a jewelry line. people have been capitalizing on this for years. as you mentioned in the previous piece, camping has said this is going to happen before. the funny thing is last night i was looking at some of these websites and they were actually crashing. i'm a little worried about their plans for doomsday. >> yeah, well, the concern also is if it doesn't happen does the business fail going forward? what do they do next? >> well, that's the thing. this is -- they managed to kick the can down the road. >> right. >> if it doesn't happen. this has gotten a lot of publicity which could be great for business. the interesting thing is some of the people running these businesses have said that they're donating the money because they know they're never actually going to have to act on sending the e-mails or sending the letters because they don't believe it in. >> rob kurtz as always, we appreciate it. >> good to see you. >> up next, how to cash in on the cash crisis. the high cost of gasoline is forcing most americans to change the way they live, so we've got tips on how to put more cash back in your wallet. you're watching "the early show" on cbs.

most americans are having a cash crisis. a new poll from the associated press says 71% of americans feel the high cost of gasoline is causing their families some hardship. some have scaled back vacation plans. other s stopped filling medical prescriptions in order to put gas in the car. here with new ways to add cash to your wallet, farnoosh torabi. good to see you. >> you, too. >> trying to save on monthly bills. where is a good space to start? >> your utilities are a fantastic place to start. we spend 6% to 12% of our income on gas or electric. call up your utility company and simply say you're having a tough time or you want to reduce your bill. if you're a senior or low-income family you may equal for an income-based payment plan. you're not going to pay more than you can't afford. and everybody should call their utility company and ask for a free home energy audit. basically a technician comes to your house, looks for leaky ducts, make sure your insulation is okay, your ventilation is working well. and they say that those sort of

inspections can save people about 20% on their bills. >> wow. 20%. >> hundreds of dollars a year. >> that's a nice chunk. another bill that seems to keep going up with the cable bill. you say we can cut back on that. >> you can. just pick up the phone. ask for the customer retention department. there's an actual department at your cable company that is reserved to keep you as a customer. because it is very expensive to lose you, and have to pay the marketing expense to find a new customer. so just be frank. say i want to lower my cable bill. that is the script. and sure enough, they'll find ways to either give you a discount, give you freebies, give you maybe a free dvr so lots of ways to negotiate there. >> a lot of freebies out there? >> yeah, absolutely. just say i would love to experiment with hbo, or cinemax, and sure enough, i've done it, i've gotten six months free hbo. and if you're cash strapped that's, you know, a nice way to sort of lift your spirits, get some free cable. but a lot of americans still are just going totally out with cable. with the internet and with netflix, they're finding that cable is not to be missed. >> interesting.
5:51 am
i guess that's why they have the retention department. let's talk about medical bills. we talked about people skipping prescriptions to save gas. >> not a good idea. there are better ways around it. i would start with calling your health insurance provider and seeing if there's a lower plan that you can qualify for. a lower monthly premium plan. now, the deductible might be higher for copays and doctor visits, but in the long run the lower monthly plan that you pay to maintain that insurance could offset those costs and end up saving you a ton of money. final negotiate with your doctor. i just did this with my dentist. i got an estimate for a dental implant for $1250. i literally went there with this estimate in hand and i was like, i want to save money. and he was a little -- he gave me pushback, but i'm not leaving your office until you give me a skaunt. he told me about a loophole. said that if i split up the procedure between now and next january, which is still a safe way to go around it, i'll save $400. >> oh. >> so camping out at your doctor's office can save you a significant amount of money. >> okay.
5:52 am
interesting. interesting. >> yeah. >> if you have a child in college you say there's a way for folks to save money there, as well. >> a lot of parents if you got laid off in the last year, you had your hours cut back, if you had any sort of financial setback, finaid.org which is an excellent resource for loans and student aid tell me if you've lost $10,000 in income you might be able to qualify for another $2,000 to $5,000 in financial aid. the term you want to use when you call the financial aid office is i want a professional judgment review. i want to requalify for more money. >> all right. very quickly. refinancing. good time to do that? >> i just did it. you know, the interest rates are at historic lows. but freddie mac's weekly survey of mortgages says that at last check the 30-year fixed was at 4.63%. it's the lowest all year. so i just refinanced a few months ago, actually, wish i'd done it now, saved $200 a month. >> farnoosh torabi. free hbo, dental implants. >> i'm rocking it. good to see you. for more on how to stretch your

6:01 am
rape, sexual assault. his defense team says, look, he did not belong on rikers island. the bail should not be a punishment. but prosecutors say, he was a flight risk. he was arrested on board a plane heading to paris. ten minutes before takeoff. that he needed to have insurance -- that they did, that he was going to show up to court. so what the judge did was, he sid said we're going to raise the bar. we'll grant him bail but we're going to give him that 24-hour monitoring. going to make sure that he has -- that he has that bracelet on him, and those armed guards, those cameras set up at the house. we're going to create a jail-like atmosphere so that there is incentive for him to show up to court on june 6th. because that's the key. a highly unusual set of circumstances, russ. >> you said he's paying for this security, as well. correct? >> that is true. he is paying for it. and you know, a lot of people say, you know, that in and off

6:03 am
>> reporter: amanda knox came in to court looking more conservative than in previous appearances. the order of business was to determine how much more time experts could have to examine the dna evidence that convicted her and her former boyfriend raffaele sollecito of murder. the answer was another 40 days. knox spoke out and told the court, thank you for having accepted the review by experts, which is very important. i have been in prison for 3 1/2 years now, as an innocent person, and it's exhausting me. adding, i do not want to stay in prison unjustly for the rest of my life. knox's dna and a minute spec of blood from victim meredith kercher found on a knife and sollecito's on a bra clasp are crucial to the case. the defense hopes the experts will establish that the evidence was so badly mishandled it is inadmissible. the next session will be on june 18. at which point five prison snitches will be called to give evidence. including claims that drifter rudy guide who was convicted in

6:06 am
pigs? "time" magazine executive editor nancy gibbs joins us to shed some light on the issue. great to have you with us, nancy. >> nice to be here. >> the article is fantastic, i must say. but how do you answer the question? >> well, the discouraging answer is often, because they can. you know, there are a lot of theories about this. one is men who are very powerful and successful often are risk takers. they have a different sense of what constitutes a risk. they're surrounded by people who are inclined to protect them, often from their own misjudgment and misbehavior. but in this case, it's very important to note, these are two very, very different cases. only one of these two men was hauled off to jail. but what they have in common was, people watching thinking, sort of, how could you do something like this? how could you be so stupid when you're a man in public life to risk everything and certainly put your family at risk, as well as your reputation by behaving in ways that are just inexplicable. >> there is a fascinating study that you highlight from the psychological science that highlights some of these things, you highlighted in the article and it talks about sort of this nature versus nurture argument.
6:07 am
that as men, and even women, get more powerful and grow in power, they become potentially more likely to cheat. >> the author's theory is, and they were studying people in a business situation, was that the higher they rose in the hierarchy, again men and women alike, the more likely they were to either consider or commit adultery. and their theory was that with that success and power comes a kind of both confidence and sense of entitlement. and that that's what tends to lead to greater opportunity, and inclination for infidelity. >> you also raise in the article the fact that neither arnold schwarzenegger norodom 'nique strauss-kahn, neither of them have this reputation as, you know, upstanding individuals when it comes to their relationships with women, and yet they are still entrusted with massive amounts of power. >> well, i think again in dominique strauss-kahn's place he was sort of famous and almost proud of his reputation as a lady's man. there were headlines in the french papers calling him the great seducer. that was not critical. but, again, in this case, he --
6:08 am
if these charges prove to be true, it is so far over the line from being a lady's man. he's not being accused of being a player. he's being accused of being a predator. a sexually violent criminal. >> that is a good point. >> i don't think he would have been as successful, obviously, if people had thought, oh, he is capable of this kind of behavior. >> it's a significant distinction. it is interesting. even his wife, ann saint claire, discusses the fact, dominique strauss's wife, he finds that her discussion of his seduction makes him more interesting. and a more powerful candidate. >> she said, you know, a politician needs to be able to seduce. but, again, i think she has stood by his side. she has said she cannot believe that these charges are true. and i think we have to take that at face value. that this conduct that he's accused of is of a completely different nature than the notion that he is someone who is very seductive, who women are attracted to. >> nancy gibbs, thank you so much for joining us. fascinating article. go out and get it. now here's russ.

to people that trusted him with money. >> reporter: his attorney, bill russell. >> he stole money. that was something that he didn't seem able to control. he wanted a bigger car. he wanted a bigger boat. he wanted to be out in front. >> reporter: in fact, kissel scammed banks, investors, neighbors, and even his own family, out of $40 million. >> he just engaged in one fraud after another. >> what kind of guy can do something like that? >> a very troubled guy. >> reporter: andrew kissel was arrested and charged with bank fraud. >> he was upset he was caught. no remorse. no self-flagellation. none of that. >> reporter: he agreed to a deal. just days before pleading guilty, andrew kissel was alone at his greenwich, connecticut, mansion. >> my phone rang, and it was a prosecutor from the u.s. attorney's office. she said, it's kissel. and i said, suicide? and she said, no, homicide.
6:14 am
>> he's been murdered. >> reporter: who murdered the brazen con man? erin moriarity, cbs news. >> and you can see the entire "48 hours mystery" report tonight at 10:00 eastern here on cbs. joining us now from newton, massachusetts, is nancy walkly, the attorney who blew the whistle on the andrew kissel scheme. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> when did you realize that something was wrong? >> well, i was involved in two real estate transactions with mr. kissel through his attorney, and the fact that there were two back-to-back transactions, each with some unusual circumstances, led us to be a little suspicious, and caused us to scrutinize some of the documents that were being involved with these various properties he was developing. and ultimately, led us to conclude that something was not right. there was a fraud going on. >> you suspected forgery, is that true? >> well, it was -- it was forgery, and fraudulent releases of mortgages.
6:15 am
so that he was effectively on the land records freeing up his titles so that he could borrow more and more money against them, when, in reality, those were fake releases, and all of the banks involved still had live mortgages on the properties. >> you had been involved in transactions involving andrew kissel before. when you saw what you thought was a discrepancy here, what was the first thing that went through your mind? >> well, because the first transaction was unusual in that a mortgage showed up at the last minute that shouldn't have been there, when the second transaction came up and initially there was no mortgage on the record, then there was a mortgage, we ultimately obtained copies of all of the releases in the two chains of title on these properties and noticed that there were the same notary used for multiple banks. which is impossible. >> sure. had you ever seen anything like this before in your experience? >> never. never. not in this extent. >> what was the first thing you did when you realized that something was wrong? >> well, i contacted his
6:16 am
attorney, and i said, there's a problem here. i had called one of the banks that supposedly had released the mortgage, and they said oh, the mortgage is alive and well, and the balance is $5 million and change. and i called his attorney, and i said, we have a problem here, we cannot go ahead and fund this loan, it was going to be a new loan of $6 million or $7 million, and he communicated then with mr. kissel who ultimately said to him, well, just pay it off. and because there was going to be enough money from this closing, and i said, no, we're not going to pay it off. the closing is adjourned. >> again, this was when a lot of free money was going around. this money was flowing like water, correct? >> the banks just were handing it out. >> when you found out that he was murdered, what did you think? >> i was shocked. again, i'm a real estate attorney. i don't get involved in that side of life, and it just seemed an interesting conclusion to what started out as a bank fraud. >> you did not know andrew kissle personally, however you
6:17 am
had some dealings with him. is there anything you can tell us about him? >> other than that he was a known developer in the greenwich, connecticut, area, and a developer that banks were looking to lend money to. >> and again, this is something you never experienced before, so you're looking at that transaction there, and this is a lot of money, obviously, but again there's a time when a lot of money was being thrown around. did you hesitate at all about blowing the whistle on this? >> i didn't. because finding out that one loan was still alive, when it appeared of record to be long ago released could have been the tip of the iceberg. as it turned out to be. there were multiple mortgages on these properties that appeared to be released and they weren't. he was juggling them and paying them currently so he could keep getting more money. >> nancy walkley, thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> my pleasure. >> you can see the piece tonight on "48 hours mystery." coming up next a look back at oprah's remarkable career and a chat with the man who discovered her. this is "the early show" on cbs. shop for a new pc because...

♪ i need a place to hide away oh, i believe in yesterday ♪ >> and joining us now from chicago is dennis swanson, who took a chance in 1983, hiring oprah to host "a.m. chicago" on the tv station where he was program director. he's now president of station operations for fox television. great to have you with us, dennis. >> thank you, rebecca. >> so, take us back to '83. how does oprah come to your attention? >> well, i'd been named, you know, general manager of wls in early august, and literally my first day on the job, the fellow doing "a.m. chicago" came in and asked out of his contract. and so i let him out. we were in the doing very well. we were up against phil donahue at the time in his home market. and getting clobbered. and so i said let's try and find
6:23 am
an alternative, rather than focus on males, let's focus on females. debbie demaio who worked out in the program department for about the past week, she'd just started, brought down a tape that had oprah on it. hard to tell from that tape, because it was a -- she was the co-host of a show in baltimore where the male was the dominant talent. so, we set up to do an audition. we brought her in labor day weekend of '83 and i told the folks to make it a for-real "a.m. chicago" show, make it difficult, and i'm sitting in my office watching the audition unfold, and i'm thinking to myself, i've just solved the morning show problem. this woman is awesome. >> that's a pretty cool experience to be a part of. you also asked as a part of all of this oprah to put together a tape. we have the tape here. it's the additional tape that she put together. let's take a look. >> my name is oprah winfrey. oprah spelled o-p-r-a-h, and if you notice i'd harpo spelled
6:24 am
backwa backwards. my folks did not particularly like harpo marx. we did not even have a television set in our home for a number of years. >> so, dennis, you watch this tape, you said you think she's awesome. you're watching the audition unfold. what do you think you have your hands on here? >> well, i thought to myself, wow, this is an exceptional talent. it was exactly what you would look for. she was in form, spontaneous, comfortable. able to ask questions easily and readily. made the guests feel comfortable. and i just thought, this person is just a natural television performer, and there's no way we can miss with her, if we can get her here to chicago to do this show full time. >> how did you get her to do it? did you tell her you thought she'd be a huge success? >> well, when the -- when the taping was over, because it was a holiday weekend, literally everybody split. so it was just her and me and so we spent, i don't know, an hour and a half or so together in my
6:25 am
office going over a lot of different issues. and she -- you know, she wanted to do the show badly. she wanted to do it by herself. she didn't want to be in a co-host situation. and i told her i thought that was fine. i told her i really didn't have any concerns, and you know, she talked about the fact that she was black. i told her that wasn't a concern. that she was overweight. i said, so was i. it was okay. in fact, i wanted her to have a vulnerability. i told her i didn't want her to change a thing. i wanted the hairdo, the clothes, the weight, everything, i wanted her just as she was. >> and how did she react to that? >> i think she was very comfortable with that. because it was a very direct, honest conversation. we were at ease with one another. and then i told her i did have a concern, though. and she sort of reared back in her chair, what was that? i said, you know, i just wonder how you're going to be able to handle success? i said, some people don't handle success very well.
6:26 am
they push success up their nose and you see examples of that, you know, today for example. and she said, do you really think i could be that successful? and i said, lady, this is going to cost me money in the negotiation, but you're going to shoot the lights out. >> and how did those negotiations go down? was she a tough negotiator? were her agents hard on you? >> well, you know, she had the best attorney in baltimore, ron shapiro, who was -- handled brooks robinson, a lot of the orioles who were a championship team at that time. the tricky part of it was, her contract didn't expire until the end of the year. but then, the people that had the contract had a 60-day option in there, and i said to shapiro, i said, we'll wait till january 1 because she's worth waiting for, but i can't wait the 60 days beyond that. he negotiated out of that. we put her on the air the 1st of january, and we were in last place, when we put her on the air and we won the february book less than a month later. >> dennis swanson, thank you for

6:28 am
does, there -- there has to be some evolution that it would have to be something completely different. >> oprah became more than just a person. she became a lifestyle. >> she's a brand. she's everything. >> she became a guru. kind of a bigger than life sort of figure. >> and she's been one of the most powerful people in television, hollywood, in anything for so many years. >> and you talk -- go ahead. >> she's just so courageous. remember she had a network deal that she walked away from. she said if i can do this for a network, i can do this myself. >> that's a businesswoman. >> she also figured out is if she owned the show -- >> yes. >> that's what i mean. >> before anybody else had figured that out. >> i love when she talked about her name and harpo and her family reaction to that. yet her company is called harpo. >> right. >> she also has the midas touch when it comes to businesses. i'm working on a story about that for next week. >> rebecca jarvis, a little tease. >> got to get it in there. we'll be back. stay with us. this is "the early show" on cbs.

i'm robin sue joss and my website is big red kitchen. i do believe in standards. cascade was a disappointment because you have dried on food stains. but when i took the finish challenge i realized, i don't need to settle. i like to make roast beef and it leaves a lot of baked on grease. so i threw it in the dishwasher, i did not pre-rinse. but when i open the dishwasher, everything was very shiny and no more gunk left on my dishes. i used to use cascade now i use finish quantum. take the finish challenge for yourself.
