>> thank you for joining us. have a great day. "the early show" is next. stay with us. enjoy your weekend. >> caption colorado, llc comments@captioncolorado.com good morning. republican leaders put off a vote on speaker john boehner budget cutting plan after failing to get enough gop support to pass. a final deal to raise a debt limit is still far away with four days left until the deadline. we will get the litteatest from capitol hill state suffering from worst drought in decades in texas but there could be a downside to tropical storm don. live in the lone star state with the latest. a pilot crashes his plane into the great lakes. not only does he survive but somehow manages to tread water without a life jacket for nearly 18 hours before being rescued. he is going to tell us about his ordeal "early" this friday

morning, july 29th, 2011. captioning funded by cbs good morning. welcome to "the early show." don't be discouraged by that fog here in new york. we are just happy it's friday. i'm chris wragge. >> i'm erica hill. i'm happy it's friday and looking forward to hearing from the pilot. incredible story. more for you this morning on tropical storm don which is, of course, making its way to texas and this is not something you often hear when we talk about a tropical storm but folks there are actually looking forward to the storm's arrival. it's less than 300 miles from the texas coast and top winds 50 miles an hour. not a lot of focus on the winds. of course, the rains that people want. don could drop 4, maybe 5 inches of rain in some areas. it will take much more than that to fix the worst drought in

decades. more on that in a few minutes. speaking of drought. >> tell me if this strikes a familiar chord. good morning once again, everybody. not enough votes on capitol hill to pass any spending cut bill. four days left until the deadline to raise the government's debt limit, house republicans meet again this morning after hard-line conservatives handed john boehner a major setback. nancy cordes has the latest for us this morning. good morning, nancy. >> reporter: good morning to you, chris. one of the wildest nights we have seen on capitol hill in quite some time. the house was set to vote on a bill put forward by speaker boehner at around 5:45 last night, but they pulled the bill from the floor at the last minute saying they didn't have the votes. hours of arm twisting followed behind closed doors. at 10:30 they threw in the towel saying they would try again today. >> designate the facility of the united states postal service -- >> reporter: members of congress had to turn to naming post offices after republican leaders yanked their debt ceiling bill from the floor right before the

vote. >> further consideration of 627 is postponed. >> reporter: embarrassing turn of events for gop leaders who spent days brow-beating conservative holdouts into voting yes. >> the bill is not perfect. i never said it was perfect. nobody in my caucus believes it's perfect. >> reporter: speaker boehner krafed the bill after walking away from talks with the president a week ago. the bill cuts more than $900,000 in spending and raising the debt ceiling by less than six months. democrats are united and against it. >> the notion to have this again in six months is reason enough for every member in chamber to reject that bill. >> reporter: boehner hoping to send his bill to the senate and dare democratic harry reid to kill it with days to go until the august 2nd deadline. >> they will be defeated. they know that. >> reporter: the nation's biggest banks are begging both leaders to go back to the bargaining table, warning a downgrade or a default will

raise interest rates for everyone. >> well, i think investors, small and large in america, should know that despite the fact we are not there yet, house republicans objectives remain the same. we are going to rest up over the evening and go right back to work in the morning. >> reporter: this mess shows how difficult it is for either party to go it alone at this point in the situation. only about 24 republicans can gop leaders afford to lose on this bill because they have not no democratic support and more than that feel the bell doesn't cut deep enough. we are told they offered to add a balanced budget amendment. they said no. the arm-twisting will continue today. >> still not enough. nancy cordes on capitol hill, thank you very much. also on capitol hill this morning is democratic senator michael bennet of colorado with more on what is next for this congressional stalemate. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> your a common sense guy so make sense for this me, please.

the deadline sander the corner. world markets suffering right now. what can be done between now, friday, and tuesday? >> i think nancy put her finger on it, which is that go it alone strategy is not going to work. and the american people, people of my state and colorado don't have any confidence in either parties go it alone approach. they want a bipartisan comprehensive solution that shows we are all in this together and they want us to knock off the political games. >> doesn't seem like everybody is in it together right now. i know they are waiting for the boehner plan to be struck down when it gets through the house but can't get the house right now. is this a chance to take the reins here? >> i think the senate democrats and the senate republicans need to come together around a bipartisan plan. you know, i deeply regret the fact we are not going to get something comprehensive in the next four days. that's where we should be but i don't think we should have a temporary lift in the debt

ceiling because washington has known no way to deal with these problems. we have in the end put this country on a fiscal path that is rational and makes sense or else we face the first credit downgrade in this country's history. it's tajjic. >> you're new to d.c. and always deadlike before -- >> thank you for observing that! >> how disappointed are you? all kidding aside, being new to this, how disappointed are you that both parties -- the way they have handled this already probably is not polling very well with the american people. >> i'm enormously disappointed. you're seeing why there is. not a mayor in my state in colorado, not a single one that would ever threaten their credit rating over some -- or to make an ideological point because they know it would make their borrowing more expensive which is exactly what we are facing here in washington today. not to mention the fact that we face severe structural problems

in our economy, we have no energy policy in this country. we're not educating our kids for the 21st century and we can't even get to those tauopics becae we are fooling around with this. >> this is the biggest problem right now. senator, thank you for the time. >> thanks for having me this morning. >> also with us here in the studio this morning is cbs news chief washington correspondent and host of "face the nation," bob schieffer. we heard from senator bennet which in many ways he sounded like a lot of the american people saying he seems fed up with the way things are going and they are not going to get anything comprehensive done he said in the next four days. we talk about how the vice of washington is right now. the republican party, how fractured is it on this friday morning as they try to get something done? >> they can't get enough votes together to pass its own bill. the leader of the house republicans is john boehner. he went to the floor yesterday with this bill.

this was the republican bill and about 6:00 last night and this and this was 10 minutes before the vote was to start they pulled the bill down and said we have to go back into conference which means they didn't have the bills. this is enormously embarrassing for the speaker when he can't bring his own people along. it raises the question is he able to survive this? where are we right now? we are this far. if republicans can't pass their version of a bill, what do you think they are going to do when a democratic version of the bill gets there? we are not back to square one. we are back behind square one in a hole below square one. >> three right now. >> your explanation. i mean, how the markets are going to respond today is yet another question down 500 points this week alone. let me get back to speaker boehner. you brought it up. can he survive something like this? it looks as though factions of his party making him look foolish right now. >> not embarrassed to do that,

that is the part. i don't know if he can survive or not. but, i mean, this is a real setback for him and a real set shortstop back for the leadership. >> it's also a glimpse into how things have changed in washington and a lot of that change has come about with this new freshman crop. not exactly though the change some folks were talking about. the tea party is a very important part of this division within the republican party. >> but, you know, and that is absolutely right, erica, but, you know, what they are telling me is that this goes beyond the tea party. there are some old line conservatives that just want more than the leaders have been willing to get them. they want a deeper spending cuts. the reason that wasn't in this bill, as the leadership knew, they couldn't pass anything. they thought this was the best they can do and even this is not good enough. it's just a mess, i mean, no other way to get around it. >> larry summers was on our program two weeks ago and compared this to not meeting the deadline to financial arm a g

getton. are they willing to let this happen? i hate to bring it back to the market but affects the american people and see their 401(k)s and personal wealth, sacrifice that? >> one would hope not but here we are. merns i mean, no question where we are headed. we see what the markets have done already. this is -- we're in unchartered territory right now. and that is the dangerous part about all of this. you and i were talking about this earlier this week, erica. it's not the leaders. the leaders are ready to deal. it's the followers and they can't get anybody to follow them. i mean, this is just -- >> close to a compromise or could be at least. >> danger for the american people it is frightening and we are talking about the republicans this morning but a lot of talk about whether democrats are any more united and seems like a few days to keep talking about it. bob, thanks. >> thank you. >> bob will have the latest on the debt limit talks on "face

the nation" this sunday morning on cbs. tonight on the "cbs evening news." latest on tropical storm don expected to be the first big storm to hit the u.s. this year. don is packing 50-mile-an-hour winds and could reach drought-stricken texas within 24 hours. kevin reece of khou is on the coast in corpus christi, texas, for us this morning. >> reporter: corpus christi bracing for tropical storm don and the first tropical storm i can remember covering most of the people are glad this storm is arriving. some precautions are taken but corpus christi hasn't had significant rain in at least four months so people aren't afraid of this tropical storm and welcoming its actively. some recautions are being taken and going through the marina making sure the boats are secure but not worried about moving any of those boats. no evacuations planned. convention and visitors bureau say no extra precautions out of

the ordinary are being taken and hotels are still filling up for tourists for the weekend. locals tell me they hope the tropical storm brings what corpus christi desperately needs, 3 to 5 inches of rain. they hope don stay too long but long enough to remind everyone here what rain looks like. it's been that long and conditions here are extremely dry. right now, everyone here in corpus christi hoping that tropical storm don can actually bring something good this time around, some badly needed rain for this part of texas. in corpus christi, i'm kevin reece. back to you marysol castro is also watching don this morning and she joins us now. >> here is tropical storm don churning in the gulf of mexico. roughly 300 miles off the coast of corpus christi. 50-mile-an-hour winds and gaining some speed as it moves over the warmer waters. it does start to organize a little bit more. expect it to make landfall as a tropical storm. in the overnight hours. heading straight for corpus christi and as we have been

mentioning the past 24 hours the country needs the rain. looking at about 3 to 6 inches of rain. we keep an eye on this and tell but your national forecast later on in the show. back to you guys. >> thanks. check in with you for that with a bit. jeff glor is at the news desk with the check of today's other headlines. good morning. happy friday morning to everyone at home. also in texas this morning, police are holding a soldier they say has confessed to plotting an attack at ft. hood. the same army base where 13 people were killed in 2009. this time, a call from a store clerk may have prevented a second tragedy. cbs news justice correspondent bob orr has more. >> reporter: private first class naser abdo has made no secret to for his contempt of the u.s. army. the 21-year-old muslim born american refused fight what he called an unjust war in afghanistan. >> i refuse to go to afghanistan because it was against my islamic conditions. >> reporter: he accused the army trumping up charges he possessed child pornography and three

weeks ago awol from ft. campbell, kentucky. on tuesday his anger took a more ominous turn when he went to a gun shop in texas and bought six pounds of gun powder and asked a strange question. >> what is smokeless powder? if you don't know what it is, why would you buy six pounds of it. >> reporter: police arrested abdo at this nearby hotel with gun powder, a pressure cooker, batteries, clocks, semiautomatic handgun and more than 100 rounds of ammunition. sources say abdo has told investigators he wanted to attack soldiers from nearby ft. hood, perhaps by bombing a restaurant outside the base. abdo explained he was, quote, seeking revenge for what the army did to me. abdo's alleged plot comes less than two years after a shooting spree at ft. hood left 13 people dead. the accused gunman nidal hasan who is waiting trial. investigators see no signs of a

broader plot in abdo's case but a warning that the threat of home-grown terror has not diminished. bob orr, cbs news, washington. one week after the bombing and shooting massacre in norway, oslo police are questioning breivik for a second time today. he was taken from police headquarters this morning and charged with terrorism and prosecutors say charged later with each of last friday's 76 killings. also in oslo this morning, memorial services are held for victims of the massacre. you are looking at one of the smaller services right now. one is also hosted by norway's ruling labour party sponsor of the youth e treat that was targeted in last week' attack. tiger woods is back to tournament golf after 11 weeks off with injury, he tweeted he is feeling fit and ready to tee it up, excited to get back out there, he says. he will play next week at the bridgestone invitational in akron, ohio, where he has had some success in the past.

>> reporter: we heard the parliamentary committee has decided not to recall james murdoch in person but, instead, to ask for a written explanation after accusations that he didn't tell the truth last time he spoke to them ten days ago. when james murdoch last answered the committee's questions, he sat next to his father, the media tycoon rupert. >> this is the most huvenl dmbl of my life. >> reporter: two men employed by the paper had already gone to jail. james specifically denied having seen an e-mail that indicated the dirty tricks were, in fact, much more widespread. >> did you see or were you made aware of the transcript of the message? >> no, i was not aware of that at the time. >> reporter: oh, yes, he was say two company insiders including the editor of "news of the woshled" at the time and the paper's lawyer.

now british lawmakers want to follow-up. >> if, therefore, james murdoch was made aware of this in 2008, it means that the entire evidence given to the initial inquiry was not just misleading, was completely factually inaccurate and also could mean that a crime was covered up in the company and that is a very, very serious matter. >> reporter: but across town yesterday in the world of business, james murdoch got a thumb's up, reconfirmed as chairman of the board of britain's biggest satellite television network. after the company reported record profits. the news was hastily shut down by the murdochs earlier this month but a fresh allegation is making headlines today. the voicemail of sarah payne may have been hacked the mother of a little girl who in 2000 was killed by a pedophile.

that the prosecutor, if they were going forward, would have told her to stop talking to the media. >> reporter: according to manhattan district attorney cyrus vance that she lied about her background including a false story of gang rape in her native guinea and mentioned that strauss-kahn's wealth and recorded conversation with an incarcerated friend. >> diallo was not concerned about dominique strauss-kahn's money on may 15th. she was concerned about the fact he had tried to rape her. >> reporter: while the 62-year-old former head of the imf has not spoken publicly, his attorneys want the d.a. to drop the case, but diallo said she told her daughter she would fight on. >> what happened to me, i don't want that to happen to any other woman. >> reporter: michelle miller, cbs news, new york. at that news conference,

ssiv a massive drought across east africa is creating a huge refugee crisis seen in years. the drought in somalia is the worst in 60 years and leading to massive famine and sending hundreds of thousands of people fleeing across the border to kenya to what is a safe haven to rev fugee to save their lives. war lords are fighting for control and if the story sounds somewhat familiar, it should because it's the situation very similar to the early '90s when the u.s. sent both aid and troops to somalia. >> reporter: even for a continent sadly awe cuss to mind to familiar inand misfortune, the situation in east aver is

dire. these are some of the thousands fleeing somalia on foot. many of the refugees find their way to the camp in east africa. >> thousands are suffering from the worst drought in 60 years. >> relief organizes are doing their best to bring attention to the plight of these refugees. in the meantime, in somalia, the first shipment of food was delivered wednesday to mogadishu, the first since the declaration of a familiar inover a week ago. the u.n. cannot get aid to more than 2 million people unable to flee the country's south. territories controlled by rebels linked to al qaeda and where some of the most desperate can be found. joining us now from kenya's camp is a spokesman christopher tidy. the pictures are tough to look at. give us an idea what is it like

for you on the ground there as you walk through these camps? >> well, i would say it's pretty difficult. there's no question about that. the hardest thing for me really is going into the camps and seeing the children in particular and what they are going through. particularly the new arrivals. a lot of the children are battling malnutrition and to see that up close is tough. these kids have been through a lot, no question about that and they need a lot of time and help to recover. >> 90 children a month, i'm told, die of malnutrition. you have so many people streaming into these camps, 1,300 a day was one estimate. is there ever a fear you're going to get to the point you would have to turn someone away? >> no, we are definitely not at that point and i don't expect we ever will be. the fact of the matter the camps

have been here two decades and have the structure here to provide the medical services these children need. what we knee to do now, given the rate of the influx, we need to scale up our efforts so that includes procuring more vaccines and help from international donors to get the supplies we need to give them the care. >> given the drought and the familiar inconditions we see especially across the border what is your biggest challenge? is it getting the medical supplies? getting enough food, enough water? >> i think that, right now, our biggest challenge, particularly given unicef's focus on children, is to make sure that we don't have an outbreak of disease. obviously, children that are suffering from malnutrition, they tend to have compromised immune systems and that is ripe ground for an outbreak of an opportunistic disease like measles or polio or pneumonia or something like that. that is a big challenge. we just launched an emergency

vaccination campaign to get the children vaccinated between measles and polio as quickly as possible. >> what happens to the children? the camps have been there for two decades you mentioned. are these kids who will ultimately spend their life in a refugee camp or will they move on to somewhere else? >> well, i think as you said, a lot of children were born here and have been here for a number of years. we have new ones coming in. it's part of an ongoing process in terms of being registered as a refugee and spending time in the camp and whether or not they move on. ultimately what we try to do is provide them with the services that they need here so we're supporting schools in the camps and helping kids get an education and providing them with medical services and also the opportunity to engage in recreational opportunities. as long as they are here, we are working to make sure that they have what they need to live quality lives. >> they are lucky you are there with them. chris tidy, thanks for your time this morning. >> thanks so much for having me.

need. as much as texas needs the rain, tropical storm don is not expected to impact the drought. as parts of the southwest texas coast brace for tropical storm don, more than 95% of the state is feeling the stress of record setting heat and debilitating drought. foundations cracking. >> there are cracked ceilings and walls. >> reporter: the land is splitting. >> they've been in this weather, they look pretty good. >> reporter: ranchers are bracing for what is shaping up to be the worst drought in texas history. >> another 30 days i think all of our cattle will be very stressed because of the heat. >> reporter: the beaty have been cattle ranch for 50 years. their pastures are brown, their hay production cut in half. >> every time we buy feed it's more, it's more. >> reporter: that has to be frustrating. >> it is, you know.

we have a lot invested in them, so we don't want them to lose weight. >> reporter: don is expected to dump three to five inches of rain in the far southwest but for most of texas it will be just a drop in a very dry bucket. now ironically one of the crops that is doing okay, cotton, in that far south area, could be hit by this storm because it could be directly in the storm's path. the cotton could drop on the ground which would render it useless. >> thank you. french investigators blame the 2009 crash of an air france jet in the atlantic ocean mostly on pilot error. all 228 people died when the plane went down from rio de janeiro to paris. the pilots didn't realize the plane was in a stall despite warning signals. the plane crash last year that killed the president of

in this morning's "healthwatch," ask it early. we've been collecting your health related questions for our medical correspondent dr. jennifer ashton who is here with answers for you. i love when we do these segments, exactly what our viewers are asking for. the first facebook from max. "my 19-year-old athletic son has high blood pressure. what will be the long-term effects of this disease." especially in a 19-year-old. >> mooes people of hypertension or high blood pressure with the elderly, not true. we're seeing it in children and teens. when you see it in an athletic teen you have to ask, using any steroid supplements or bulking supplements to increase blood pressure. you also want to find out why the blood pressure is elevated,

make sure they have a full evaluation and don't check their blood pressure when they're doing sports. it needs to be checked at rest. in terms of long-term consequences it can affect the eyes, heart, kidney, blood vessels and controlling it with diet, lifestyle factors and medication if necessary is the key. important to get it under control. >> we also hit the streets, kevin in l.a. has this question for you. >> dr. ashton i have a question for you. with the hot temperature, how can we stay hydrated during the summer? >> so important. >> right the heat wave affecting a lot of the country for a lot of this summer, a lot of people are under the misconception if they're young and healthy, they can tolerate the heat. only the very young and very old at jeopardy. not so. hydration is the key. the key tips are you really want to drink a cool beverage every two to four glasses per hour every 15 minutes and drink before you're thirsty. if your body is sending you the signal you're thirsty, you're

already behind the eight ball and too late. you want to try occasionally some beverages have electrolytes. only an issue if you're exercising strenuously or doing work outside for more than an hour and avoid alcohol and the sweet sugary drinks. they dehydrate you more. >> the electrolyte drinks have the sugars. >> your urine should be clear. that's a key you're well hydrated. >> don't want it yellow. barbara in new york also asked it on camera. >> my question is what are some of the symptoms of lyme disease. how would you know if you had it? >> lyme disease is caused by the deer tick, a bacterial infection, and sometimes people after they're bitten can get a bull's eye rash, pale red rash with a central clearing. 25% of people exposed to lyme disease never get this characteristic bull's eye rash. you can have symptoms ranging from fatigue to joint pain to headache, very, very vague

symptoms. if you're in an area where you could have been exposed ask your doctor to test you for it. simple blood test and the treatment is antibiotics. you want to treat it before it's been in your system too long. >> the last question from catherine via twitter, food allergies, "is there a difference between allergies and intolerance?" you know a lot about this on a personal level. >> i sure do. both are increasingly common. we don't really know why, but really when you talk about food intolerance, that's really a digestive problem so you might have a little sensitivity to certain foods, might notice it appearing gradually. a real food allergy is an immune reaction, a histamine response, can be immediate and life-threatening. i had an anaphlaylactic reactio throat closed, face swollen. an epipen is life saving, have

it at your house, work, bag, it could save your life. >> never go anywhere without it. if you're at a restaurant say you have a severe allergy. >> mine developed at age 37. doesn't have to be from birth. >> great answer as always. >> you bet. >> submit your question as well to dr. ashton. log swon to our website at earlyshow@cbsnews.com. first he survived a plane crash and then managed to stay alive for 17 hours in lake huron, no life jacket. we'll speak with this pilot who cheated death twice. he's going to share his story with us this morning on "the early show." quite a tale it is. >> "healthwatch" sponsored by pfizer. i've been in your shoes. one day i'm on p of the world... the next i'm saying... i have this thing called psoriatic arthritis.

i had some intense pain. it progressively got worse. my rheumatologist told me about enbrel. i'm surprised how quickly my symptoms have been managed. [ male announcer ] because enbrel suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, and nervous system and blood disorders have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if, while on enbrel, you experience persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. get back to the things that matter most. good job girls. ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you.

that to. >> what was it, what did you think about? what kind of kept you going? you've got no life preserve are on, in the middle of the water. >> just the will to survive i guess. i'm not done yet. i'm not ready to die yet. i wanted to keep going and see if i couldn't get myself back to shore and try to salvage something out of this disaster. >> were you a good swimmer before this? >> i don't swim a lot. i'm not that active. i don't walk a lot. i guess i'm just fat enough where my body stayed warm in the water, i kept my core temperature up enough. >> all that dieting people told you about, good thing you avoided that. on the plane you had a homing beakon. where was it relation to your pilot seat? >> observing, right in my left hand. i'm flying the plane it's six inches away from my left hand. >> after you hit the water where was that homing beacon?

>> six inches away from my hand. >> could you have grabbed, removed it from the plane and taken it with you to help the search teams find you? >> oh, simply i could have, but that was not, i wasn't thinking of that. i was underwater when i got out of the plane, i had to swim out of the plane and my biggest concern was getting out and getting some air. >> you had a couple of opportunities where there were some passing boats that passed you by, there was no way for you to get their attention. how frustrating was that for you to know that could have been my last opportunity or that could have been my last opportunity to be saved? >> well it wasn't so important at first but as time went by it became more and more crucial and 12 or 13 boats went by before the 14th one picked me up. >> lucky number 14. is it safe to say you'll be driving back to new york? >> yes, one of my best friends came out and they offered to fly me home. i think we'll stay four wheels on the ground and drive back. >> i'm sure you feel pretty
