their mother ma has made a public appeal for the three siblings to surrender after the fbi makes a frantic search. it's all "early" tuesday, august 9th, 2011. captioning funded by cbs good morning. i'm chris wragge. >> i'm rebecca jarvis. we will hear from erica hill who is in east africa in a few moments. it's a somber moment when fallen u.s. troops are brought home the last time and multipled many times this morning over dover air force base who is receiving 30 bodies of americans who were downed in a helicopter crash in afghanistan. live to dover in a few moments. we begin with massive aftermath with sell-off on wall street. this morning things are starting

off better and after yesterday a shaky day in the overseas market. jeff glor is at the new york stock exchange with the latest. jeff, already, we are seeing an up and down morning on wall street. >> reporter: it has been. but markets generally opened sharply higher here after overseas markets in europe and asia were both all tumultuous overnight and, generally speaking, down. it follows what happens on wall street yesterday which was a historic drop yesterday. every single stock on the s&p 500 was down. a weekend of uncertainty became a day of fear. and the markets biggest one-day drop since december 2008. >> the drop in financial markets over the past week and a half has just been alarming. >> reporter: just minutes after the markets opened, the dow had already dropped nearly 250 points. reaction, in part, to news that s&p was lowering america's credit rating. president obama took issue with that downgrade monday at the white house. >> markets will rise and fall but this is the united states of

america. no matter what some agency may say, we have always been and always will be a aaa country. >> reporter: but those comments didn't stop the free-fall and by closing, the dow had dropped that staggering 635 points, 5.5% fall. the s&p lost nearly 7%. trader allen valdez has spent 35 years on the floor of the exchange and not seen many moments like this. >> this has long-term effects. not the downgrade per se but the malaise going around the world. >> reporter: with the loss in markets one day all eyes turn to fed chairman ben bernanke. the fed is expected to meet today. >> it's anyone's guess when you have investors running scared as to where the bottom is. and so they will know just how critically important it is for them to address the issue and

give convincing words in their statement that they do have more options and can further help the economy. >> reporter: there is not a whole lot they can do. they could pump more money into the system by buying some of those long-term treasury securities. they have done that twice before, but that move is not without controversy. rebecca? >> jeff glor on wall street, thank you. joining us is mark zandi, chief analyst for moody's. the question on everyone's mind is are we heading into the double dip recession? >> no, i don't think so. i think the economy has its troubles, no doubt. the stock market decline is disconcerting to watch but we are in a much better place than a year ago, two years ago, three years ago. >> on main street it doesn't necessarily feel like we have made that progress and that has really weighed on confidence. even if we are not technically in the recession does it matter

if people in the real world feel like we are? >> yeah, absolutely. confidence is key and that is why we have to maintain our confidence in this current environment. we can't panic because if we panic, then we pull back, consumers stop spending and businesses stop investing and hiring and that is a prescription for a recession. i don't think there is any reason for that panic. i think we should remain calm and if we do, i think those better fundamentals will ultimately come through and the economy will improve. >> stock market dropped more than 630 points yesterday and that instills panic. how do politicians and how does corporate america and main street get away from the sense this is a scary thing happening in front of me. >> it is scary but it's important to remember that the stock market goes up, down, all around. the stock market is has predicted nine of the last recessions in the old adage in economics profession. it is something to watch.

it is nerve wracking that watch. the stock market will turn around. >> is there anything the fed can do now to change the dynamic on wall street. >> this is important to turk confidence around and riding the stock market. they can ease monetary policy. they can lower interest rates again. they can make it very clear that they are not going to raise interest rates for a long period of time and that would also be helpful. of course if push comes to shove, they can do another round of going out and buying long-term treasury bonds. there is more room for them to maneuver and i think they will take that room and do something with that today. >> mark zandi, thank you. >> thank you. president obama on monday speak at the white house trying to restore the confidence. it didn't work.

mr. obama says he has longer range plans and our chief correspondent norah has more on that for us. >> reporter: president obama spoke yesterday to reassure americans but it did not help. the stocks continue to tumble throughout the day. the president yesterday did not announce any any policy initiative but he did renew some calls for some initiatives he has long held on the table which he says can get bipartisan support. >> the most immediate concern of most americans and of concern to the marketplace as well is the issue of jobs and the slow pace of recovery coming out of the worst recession in our life. >> reporter: >> reporter: to combat this president obama pushed for extending the payroll tax cuts and unemployment benefits. subsidizing infrastructure construction and passing patent reform. >> these aren't democratic proposals. these aren't big government

proposals. these are all ideas that traditionally republicans have agreed to. >> reporter: but recently departed white house economics adviser jarrett bernstein questions whether they can get passed in today's climate. >> it's a heavy lift but certainly possible joot president's address came three days after the credit rating agency standard & poor's downgraded america's debt for the first time in history. the president says our issues is solvable and you talk about a new sense of urgency. why not call congress back to work? >> well, i think that what we can do, after the process we just went through is make clear that when congress does get back from its recess. >> reporter: the dow dropped 11,000. where is the sense of urgency? >> look. i think there is a great sense of urgency here about the need to continue to work to get our fiscal house in order, create jobs and grow the economy. >> reporter: and americans seem to agree there needs to be

something done. there is a new "usa today" gallup poll out this morning that shows only a quarter, only a quarter of americans believe that congress deserves re-election. that is the lowest level ever recorded since gallup started asking this question back in 1991. chris, we could be headed for another change election. >> those are low numbers. norah o'donnell at the white house, thank you. we head to britt where violence and looting started in one london neighborhood over the weekend spread to three other cities last night. it is britain's worst rioting in 25 years. cbs news correspondent mark phillips is in london with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this isn't just the morning after the night before. it's the morning after three nights of trouble. a lot of london looked like this this morning. and one image is dominating the front pages here that of a woman leaping out of a burning building into the waiting arms of police. but this place here, this

wreckage here was the scene of last night's most devastating fire. it's been called the battle for london and while that is a bit of an exaggeration it is what parts of the city felt like last night. it is called mindless violence, orgy of looting, vandalism and burning and spread three days running while police and everyone else try to figure out how to stop it. no mystery, though, about how it started. a man shot dead last week. watch what happens as we film one of the riot locations last night. latest round of vlles. >> kill people! >> reporter: that anger has caused angry reaction of its own. >> shopping spree. everybody is having a free for all. this is not right. this is like anarchy. >> i don't know why people do this! >> reporter: as police tried to stamp out the rioting in one area, it would flare up somewhere else literally. this furniture store was a family business that had been in

operation for almost a 150 years. >> a shop like that without incriminating yourself. what do you do? >> reporter: why burn it? >> mindless. completely mindless. we are here, done the damage is my respect. >> reporter: britain's prime minister was forced to come back from a vacation in italy. >> we will do everything necessary to restore order to britain's streets. >> reporter: at least one riot scene was smoldering this morning. all police leave has been canceled. nobody is predicting it's over. and britain is trying to figure out how to end this is now recalling parliament to come up with a solution. it's not just a question of when this is over, but if this is over. rebecca? >> mark phillips in london, thank you. randall pinkston is filling in for jeff glor this morning. >> casket carrying the remains

of 30 american troops killed in afghanistan arrive in dover air force base this morning. chip reid is at dover air force base in delaware with more. good morning, chip. >> reporter: good morning, randall. family members will be here at dover later today as the remains of their loved ones are brought home. two transport planes carrying the flag-draped cass it's arrived at dover air force base this morning. the remains of 30 americans killed when their chinook helicopter was keled killed. the disaster so horrific the soldiers have not been identified. four days since the crash and the loss is still fresh for family and friends including the stepfather of navy s.e.a.l. brian bill. >> we mourn, more than anything else. his life of unfulfilled dreams. >> reporter: the stories of these brave men are shared by their families. the youngest casualty was just 21 years old, spencer duncan.

two were lost from shreveport, louisiana, friends who played on a high school soccer team, lieutenant commander jonas killsaw and chief petty officer robert reeves. >> the war comes home to you when it's a neighbor, when it's a hometown boy. >> reporter: the 30 men included members of s.e.a.l. team 6, on their way to help other u.s. forces who had become pinned down during a firefight with the taliban. randall? >> thank you, cbs' chip reid in delaware. now to diana nyad's quest. she ended her bid at a record-setting bid from cuba to florida on sunday. he she was headed for the florida keys and trying to swim more than a hundred miles without a shark cage but she had to quit after 29 hours. hfway across the florida strait bought of strong head winds and

but your cloud of depression is still with you. maybe it's time to ask your doctor about adding seroquel xr to your antidepressant to treat your depression. seroquel xr is a once-daily, extended-release tablet, which means medication is released around the clock. for many, seroquel xr, when added to an antidepressant, was proven more effective than an antidepressant alone at helping people feel less depressed. call your doctor if you have unusual changes in mood, behavior, or thoughts of suicide. antidepressants can increase these in children,

teens, and young adults. elderly dementia patients taking seroquel xr have an increased risk of death. call your doctor if you have fever, stiff muscles, and confusion, as these may be signs of a life-threatening reaction or if you have uncontrollable muscle movements, as these could become permanent. high blood sugar has been reported with seroquel xr and medicines like it and in extreme cases can lead to coma or death. your doctor should check for cataracts. other risks include increased cholesterol and weight gain as well as seizures, dizziness on standing, drowsiness, impaired judgment, trouble swallowing, and decreases in white blood cells, which can be fatal. use caution before driving or operating machinery. isn't it time to put more distance between you and your depression? talk to your doctor about seroquel xr. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. so we made ocean spray cranberry juice cocktail with a splash of lime. it's so refreshing, your taste buds will thank you.

[ male announcer ] don't pay a change fee on top of a fare difference. fly southwest, the only major airline that never charges change fees. on monday the white house approved another $105 million for humanitarian efforts in east africa, where more than 12 million people are at risk of

starvation. erica hill is in the dadaab refugee camp where refugees have come seeking food and shelter, and more are on the way. erica, good morning. >> chris, good morning to you. that brings the u.s. total for humanitarian aid for this area to $565 million. it's money that is used for food, water, shelter, and sanitation. this morning, we visited one of the food distribution centers here in dadaab. they're run by c.a.r.e. international, and the one that we went to, services about a third of the 400,000-plus refugees. twice a month the refugees living in dadaab's three camps make their way to a center like this. where they receive enough food to give them 2100 calories a day. the bare minimum, made up of carefully measured portions of flour, corn meal, beans and soy-based protein. c.a.r.e. international runs the food distribution in dadaab, where the need is growing every day.

>> probably in about 5,000 per week. we've got upwards of 80,000 now that have arrived since january. >> reporter: while some are just learning to navigate this essential ritual, others have been coming here for two decades. one of the many humbling experiences refugees face from the moment they arrive. >> if you could imagine having to do this thing every two weeks. come and get your food, your dignity, as well, knowing that you're dependent upon food rations to be able to survive, and your family. kind of hard. >> reporter: and a constant reminder of the struggles they face each day. you're here until the last refugee is able to leave. so you're here indefinitely. >> the idea is that we don't want to see the refugees in a more vulnerable position. so we're here for the long haul. >> incredible. erica, can they support these basics with other food?

>> they do, actually. one of the things that sprung up are different marketplaces. and so while they can't really grow anything here in the camp, because the soil just won't support it, there's, of course, drought as well. they can get things from towns a couple -- a couple of hours away, that are brought in and so different markets have sprung up. we're going to give you a look of those in the next hour of "the early show." i also wanted to point out you may have noticed a lot of the workers handing out the food are actually refugees. c.a.r.e. has a little over 1600 refugees who work for them, not only doing food distribution, but also working on education projects, and it gives them an incredible sense of pride. and so important, too, as we talk about giving them hope, and hope of something better for their children. chris? >> erica, real quickly, how many refugees are coming to the carve each day? is it over 1,000? >> you know, the numbers truck u eight. right now we're hearing between 1300 and 1500 on average each day. >> all right, erica, thanks so much. we'll have more on the famine in africa coming up with erica. and scott pelley reports from

states. police believe they shot at a police car in florida before robbing a bank in georgia. cbs news correspondent elaine quijano now has the story. >> reporter: on monday, the search for 29-year-old lee grace dougherty and her two younger brothers, dylan, 26 and ryan, 21, continued to heat up as police released this dash cam video showing their initial flight from justice. >> two male subjects -- >> reporter: a police officer in florida was attempting to stop this white four door sedan for speeding, when he was led on a high-speed chase. >> going over 100 miles per hour at this time. >> reporter: investigators say the doughertys opened fire, first on a residential street. >> fire from the passenger side of the vehicle. >> reporter: then in a drugstore parking lot. >> oh! fired several more shots at me. >> reporter: the police officer was uninjured but the three siblings escaped after shooting out his tires. >> i'm not going to be able to go with it. >> we do know there were points

where they slowed down and attempted to kill this police officer. >> reporter: just hours after the high-speed chase police say the group robbed a bank in valdosta, georgia. witnesses say they fired shots into the air and ordered everyone to the floor before leaving with an undisclosed amount of money. >> people are really bold to come out and do such a thing in broad daylight. >> reporter: the three are now wanted for attempted murder and armed robbery. their mother told police she received a text message from ryan on the day of the robbery, saying at some point we all have to die. later she made a public appeal for her children's surrender. >> please prove me right, and everybody wrong, by doing the right thing now, and turning yourselves in. >> reporter: police believe the group is armed and dangerous, and may have been planning their crime spree. a search of the home where the suspects reportedly lived revealed a sophisticated underground bunker system. >> i couldn't have imagined that they are involved in what they're involved in now.

>> reporter: at this point, the three doughertys' whereabouts are unknown. police are reportedly following tips from as far away as tennessee. elaine quijano, cbs news, new york. joining us now is sheriff chris nocco of pasco county, florida, where the doughertys went on the run last week. good morning. >> good morning. thank you for having me >> they seem obviously brazen but reckless, as well. are you kind of hoping that that recklessness may lead to their capture? >> that's what we hope so. we hope they make some type of mistake and everybody's bound to do that. but as we want the public to realize, these are three, very dangerous people 36 that's why we released the video out there. we don't want people to think that these are just three kids. these are three felonies. they've committed numerous felonies throughout their lives. they're street smart. they know what they're doing and we need the public's assistance to help capture them. >> i guess that's my next question for you. i think if people read about these three siblings, some of the postings they have, i love to farm and shoot guys and wreck

cars. i'm a redneck and proud of it. they don't seem so sophisticated. but the way you're making it out, these are hardened criminals. >> ryan has 14 felony arrests. his sister had at least five. she's wanted also for hit and run battery. dylan has drug charges. but they've actually have a large arsenal, too, besides that bunker that we discovered, you know, these people out there, they're extremely dangerous. and they're street smart. they know what they're doing. and the biggest thing that we're afraid of right now is they have three options. one is that we hope they turn themselves in. that is what we hope ends this. the second thing is right now, you know, they did the bank robbery. so they got a little bit of money. we know they're going to need some more money to survive. right now we think they may go out there and commit another felony. the third thing is that they may end this in a battle with law enforcement. we have a lot of resources and i promise you we will win that battle. >> that text to their mother said there's a time for all of us to die that probably doesn't tell you or your officers that

these folks are going to surrender quietly. >> no. unfortunately, they're suspects in killing a law enforcement officer in florida. they committed bank roar where they have high caliber rifles. they're not afraid to use them.

want to do is unfortunately which is what a lot of folks are doing is panicking. any move you make in a panic or out of fear is not going to serve you well down the road. you want to assess how far away from retirement are you? don't pull all your money out and put it into one asset class like a metal for example. and look at where your money actually is. do you know where you're actually invested? so most 401(k) providers give you access to free financial advisers. call up your administrator, ask to meet with that adviser. also there's a free portfolio x-ray to give you an idea of where your money actually is. if you need to make some small adjustments. but you want to make sure to make no giant moves right now. >> don't just get excited -- >> but -- >> people see numbers like that i think they react on emotion. >> here's the thing, you want to be positioned, before this, for something like this. so, for example, if you're five to ten years out of retirement, you should not have the majority of your 3407bny in the market at this point anyway. so you want to make sure that you're positioned so that if you

need to make a big move today it's going to be 15% of your assets, it's going to be 20%. it's not going to be taking all your assets and moving them into one class because you're going to fall behind. you can try to time your way out but then you're going to time your way back in. and we know that everything that goes down comes up. >> the silver lining here is it does cause people to reassess their allocations. let's talk about now -- >> here's the thing, besides the markets, what we're looking at is confidence, of course. as you know, most people, consumer confidence right now, last month, went down to 2009 levels, you know, two years ago, in the midst of this recession. so consumers are not confident. and consumer confidence -- with consumer spending. consumer spending is 70% of our economy. if confidence takes a dip, spending takes a dip. what that means is less spending. less economic growth. and that means the job market may not budge. i think that's a big, big fear here. >> what about the rates, then, people pay on their mortgage, credit cards? >> down the road, this is not something that's going to happen

this month or even next month, credit card rates may go up, of course. auto loan rates, and home, of course. your mart rate may go up eventually. they were at record, record lows. there really is no place to go but up. if you have debt, continue to dig yourself out of credit card debt as soon as possible. while, as well -- the afterage is like 14%, 15%. also if you're looking to buy or refinance especially do it as soon as you can, so that you can lock in that low rate right now. and before the market, you know, takes a little bit more of a dip. make sure if you're buying you're going to be staying put at least five to ten years. >> don't look at it in a business sense for another two years or so. >> there is that. >> decide. >> no reason -- >> just kidding. carmen, thanks. >> thank you guys. >> up next with all the superhot weather right now, see how to get in a workout and not have to worry about heat stroke. this is "the early show" here on cbs. to be my friend? ♪ ♪ i can run just like the wind ♪ i will hide up in that tree ♪ no one will ever find me

wave that just won't let up, there will be more triple-digit temperatures today, in nearly all of the lone star state, where there is growing concern this morning over one sure remedy for heat -- water. >> reporter: just 50 miles south of dallas, the 1100 residents of camp texas are living through a record-breaking heat wave. and now they have no water. >> huge inconvenience. toilets. brushing our teeth with bottled water. can't shower. >> reporter: the drought has led to dry soil, which caused 14 pipes to crack. the town had no choice but to shut off the water for 48 hours to fix them. at football practice across the state, the water is flowing freely. it must to keep the kids hydrated. >> one, two, three! >> reporter: so far, three football play verse died in the u.s. this year from heat-related incidents. and the risk continues as the heat wave shows no signs of

ending. children can tolerate and adapt to exercise in the heat just as well as adults when proper hydration is maintained according to the american academy of pediatrics. but that doesn't change tom nolen's approach to practice. >> you've got to watch the kids. you never know if they'll come up here sick. all kind of things the heat makes you react to. >> reporter: that's why these football players were on the field at 7:00 a.m. the team got practice out of the way before the afternoon heat made it too dangerous to play. cbs news, dallas. >> and here to help us avoid the dangers of extreme summer heat is medical correspondent dr. jennifer ashton. good morning. >> good morning, rebecca. >> so how does this extreme heat impact the body? >> well, first of all, a little science review here. what happens when it's really, really hot outside is that our body temperature, which normally hovers at a core temperature around 98.6 degrees really wants to balance out with our surroundings. so we can actually absorb heat from the surroundings. the second thing that happens is our best cooling system, which

is perspiration, becomes significantly impaired. the sweat that forms on the outer surface of our body cannot evaporate. that's when you can really get behind the eight ball and get into some real trouble. everyone needs to know the signs of heat exhaustion, because this is a true medical emergency. so this is really when someone's core temperature is above 103 degrees. you can see someone with dry, hot or red skin. they lose the ability to perspire, and sweat. they can have a rapid, thready pulse. nausea, confusion, ultimately suffer loss of consciousness. you want to call 911, get them to a hospital. >> who is most you haver inable here? >> we always hear this, the very old, the very young. we're talking people with newborns should keep those babies inside. elderly people, people with any chronic medical condition should really stay inside. >> how about avoiding it? because that's what everyone is after here. >> it just bears repeating over and over again. you want to go to a cool environment. either cooling centers, stay inside air conditioning. obviously being indoors is best. you want to hydrate as much as

possible. water is best, unless you are strenuously exercising. outside for more than an hour. you really need to take in about a liter of fluid an hour in those situations. and then if you are going to exercise, you really want to do that in the beginning of the day, or at the end of the day, when the temperatures are cooler, or bring it indoors and exercise inside. but this is really, really significant health risk. really to most people. >> and get ultrahydrated. >> absolutely. your urine should be clear. >> dr. jennifer ashton on that note we'll end it. thank you. and for more on the risks and warning cinks of heat-related illness go to our partner in health webmd.com. coming up a legally blind sailor who is ready to circle the coming up a legally blind sailor who is ready to circle the globe. sturizers with scientifically proven soy complex and natural minerals. give you sheer coverage instantly, then go on to even skin tone in four weeks. aveeno tinted moisturizers. our fruit has to be perfectly ripe

investigators say they've finally solved good morning. let's get you caught up with the headlines. i'm frank mallicoat. investigators say they finally solved the pleasanton murder case from way back in 1984. tina faels was 14 when she was stabbed to death and now the fbi says dna links the crime to one of her former classmates steven john carlson arrested sunday in santa cruz where he has been a transient. a vigil in oakland this evening for a 3-year-old boy killed in a drive-by shooting there. police say the two intended targets of yesterday's shoot having being treated for minor injuries. no arrests. the estimated cost keeps rising for california's high- speed rail project. environmental impact studies released today put the cost of building the initial segment between $10 and $14 billion.

that's much higher than the earlier $7 billion estimate for the merced-to-bakersfield section. got your traffic and weather for a tuesday coming up right after this. stay right there. ,,,,,,,,,, ,,

the good news is the traffic alert through the santa

cruz mountains has been lifted but it's backed up. northbound 17 approaching summit. there are speeds below 20 miles per hour even though all lanes are re-opened in the last few minutes. in downtown san jose, it looks okay coming out of downtown. you can see it's sluggish in these northbound lanes of 280 right there approaching the 880/237 interchange. check out these backups through danville. southbound 680 approaching el cerro. it's getting by in the far two right lanes. two other lanes are blocked off. so jacked through walnut creek at 24 interchange. good morning. heading out, we have some patchy fog out toward the coastline. a couple of patches here from our mount vaca in some of the valleys but clear elsewhere. in a means we'll see sunshine this afternoon, midafternoon. 50s and 60s at the coast. ,,,,,,,,

and welcome back to the "early show" here on a tuesday morning, august 9th. of the the hour. i'm chris wragge with rebecca jarvis. erica hill is in africa where she's reporting on a famine that threatens millions of lives there. >> she'll have a surprising look at the world's largest refugee camp. think of it as a big city. the size of atlanta where some people have lived and worked for nearly 20 years. also coming up as well a man on a quest to sail around the world. one slight catch here, though. he's legally blind. and he's going to tell us why that won't stop him from following his dream. he's obviously already overcome quite a few obstacles already in his life. jeff glor will have that story

coming up. >> a very inspiring story. but we begin with the turmoil in the stock market. it has been a volatile start for investors here in the states after monday's terrible day on wall street. so what are floor traders telling you about all this activity. >> reporter: the word, you just mentioned the right one, volatile. that's what people are saying. they're not exactly sure what to do right now or where this market goes next. the market did open sharply higher this morning after a very tumultuous day overseas in europe and asia where stocks were up and down but generally finished down. >> one of the places people will take their cues from is the federal reserve which releases a statement later today. what does wall street need to hear and what do they expect to hear. >> reporter: they want to hear some soothing wordses from the fed chairman and maybe he can deliver those. because the president's comments yesterday didn't -- weren't very

effective. as far as the tools they have, they're limited, as you know. interest rates are already very, very low. the fed could potentially pump more money into the system. this quantitative easing, they've done that twice already. that's a move, as you know, that's not without controversy. >> there is a lot of controversy involved. but it has had the potential to drive up stocks. traders on the floor, they must be expecting more volatility at least for the near term. >> i think they are. all the volatility we've had just for the past three years, keep in mind, the market is still up right now 65% from where it was in march of '09. we'll see what happens next. >> jeff glor on wall street. thank you. we appreciate it. joining us a former hewlett-packard ceo carly fiorina. she's also a former u.s. senate candidate and is national chair of the republican senatorial campaign committee. >> thanks for having me. >> americans when they look at this economy, this market, it sends shivers through the spins

and what can corporate america do to solve the problems. do you think that there's anything corporate america could be doing right now. because the president is out of ammunition and congress south of ammunition and the fed has limited things at its disposal as well. >> i think your question gets to the heart of the matter which is that this economy isn't growing as fast as it needs to and, therefore, there aren't enough jobs being created. so people are having a terrible time with so many millions still out of work. i think actually washington can do some things to help small businesses, medium businesses and large businesses. i believe washington, we now need to step up and reform the tax code. the complexity of the tax code is killing small businesses. we need to lower the business rates so that it's competitive around the world. then we need to close those loopholes so that we gain more revenue. i think also we need to begin to restrain regulatory stress particularly on small businesses. the prospect that small businesses have to go through is

just killing. we do have to get on with entitlement reform so that we are not spending as much money as we are and we make sure those programs are solvent for the long time. these are all long-term solutions. >> what about the $2 trillion that corporate america has been sitting on now for more than a year? what will cause corporate america to use that and spend it on hiring? >> that's part of what tax reform will do. you're absolutely right. corporations have a lot of money parked overseas, and the reason they do is because only this country taxes overseas profits. what we need to do is reform the tax code so that that money will come home. you know, some people will say, let's let them bring it home for one year. i think short-term fixes don't work any more. that's the problem. washington has been focussing on short-term answers, and we need some long-term answers now. by all mean, reform the tax code, let's bring that money home, let's close the loopholes and let's get competitive rates and especially let's reduce the

complex hadty so that tax code doesn't have tens of thousands of pages. >> it seems like there's a chicken and agriculture an egg problem here. you have corporations saying we don't have the demand from consumers to hire and consumers we don't have the reason to hire new employees at the same time that the jobless rate is so high keeps demand low. what breaks that cycle? >> you're exactly right. what breaks that cycle is the creation of jobs. and jobs will not get created in this country at the pace they need to unless we restrain some of all of these encumbrances. i know tax code reform maybe sounds theoretical. it is really not. when you have a small business that has to dig through tense of thousands of pages, when you have a small business that really doesn't understand what regulation is coming tomorrow, they're not going to hire. they're risk adversverse.

we need long-term solutions now not short-term political fixes. >> carly, i'm sorry, we need to wrap it up there. we appreciate you joining us. britain's prime minister is vowing to do whatever it takes to restore order in the wake of spreading riots there. for the third night in a row people rampaged through london setting fires and looting stores. one person reportedly has died as you look at pictures of south london, what remains of a massive fire. mark phillips in london for us this morning. good morning once again. >> reporter: good morning, chris. well, the rioting in a half dozen locations in london and britain is trying to figure out not only why this is happening but how to make it stop. the battles through london streets it's being called. nowhere was that battle more devastating than in what had been this furniture store in london's southern suburbs. it's been called mindless violence. and the owner of this business is trying to find reason in it like everybody else.

>> without incriminating yourself. >> so why burn it? >> reporter: there's no mystery, though, about how it started. a police gun search operation that resulted in man being shot dead last week. watch what happened as we filmed one of the riot locations last night. this latest round of violence. >> going to kill people. >> reporter: and that anger has caused an angry reaction of its own. >> there's a shopping spree out here. everybody is having a free for all. this isn't right. this is like anarchy. >> reporter: as police tried to stamp out the rioting in one area, it would flare up somewhere else, literally. britain's prime minister was forced to come back from a vacation in italy. >> we will do everything necessary to restore order to britain's streets. >> reporter: and prime minister cameron has now recalled parliament here to deal with that very issue, but taking control of the streets again is exactly the problem the british have been unable to solve so

far. >> cbs' mark phillips in london this morning for us. thank you. >> hard to imagine things like that could even be happening in london. marysol castro

this weather report sponsored by twizzlers, the twist you can't resist. >> thanks so much. that's your latest weather. now here is chris. >> every week more than 5,000 refugees fleeing the famine in civil war in somalia cross the border into kenya and arrive at the dadaab refugee camp, the world's largest. you'll be surprised at the things they'll find there as erica hill will show us. erica, good morning. >> reporter: yes, good morning to you. we see so many pictures of refugees who have just arrived and we see them making that journey that you just alluded to. once they get into the camp, it is important to remember that there are people living here since the camps were founded 20 years ago. we want to give aw look at what they made of their life here in

dadaab. tents and makeshift shelters as far as the eye can see. carefully portioned food served from giant sacks of grain. the images clearly illustrate the daily life of a refugee. and so does this. a twisting maze of vegetables, shiny cookware, fresh meats, even a tailor. this is not what people expect when they hear about a refugee camp. this is a town. >> this is a town, yeah. because people have been living here for the past 20 years. and they are not in mogadishu because they accepted life here. they need to make it better than it is. >> reporter: the marketplace here is as nearly as old as the camp itself. some of the first businesses were established just after the refugees arrived in 1991. offering a chance to provide for their families and regain a sense of normalcy. 20 years later, the trend continues. >> he's only 3 months old in the

camps. he's one of the new arrivals. and this is what he's using to make money. >> reporter: mohammed came to dadaab when he was barely a year old. he grew up here along with the marketplace. when he's not this school, he works in his brother's cosmetics shop where he's gaining some real life lessons in global commerce. >> reporter: and so you feel that here, people, the economic crisis you feel here, too? >> why not? >> reporter: feel it with your business. >> we feel it our business. >> reporter: he tells me the price of most items have doubled recently not a result of the drought but the economic crisis around the globe. yet this market isn't crashing any time soon. >> somalis are known for business. >> reporter: and their resourcefulness, for turning this camp into a community. >> i mazing. where are some of the refugees

getting the money to start these businesses? >> reporter: that's one of the first questions we had, too, chris. the somali diaspora is incredibly strong. so many people have emig rated to the united states. there's a large somali population in minnesota. a lot of those people do their very best to take care of everyone back at somalia or in a refugee camp in kenya. y they send money to their relatives, they use that to start a business. here you have a really vibrant economy. >> thanks so much. take care of yourself out there. we'll see you again tomorrow. you can go to earlyshow.cbsnews.com to see more of erica's reports on the famine in africa. selling arou isailing aroun alone is tough enough, this man's goal despite enormous obstacles.

in this morning's "healthwatch," overcoming glaucoma. dennis how 5rd has sailed all over the world, but when that eye disease took away most of his sight a few years ago, he figured his days on the water were over. now he plans to sail around the world. alone. and jeff glor has his inspirational story. >> reporter: a morning sail off the california coast. san diego's skyline the picture-perfect backdrop. but on this clear day, the captain's view is foggy. how much can you see? >> the way i like to describe it is that if you cover your right eye, because that one's blind completely, if you imagine looking through a small drinking straw with the left, that's what i see. >> reporter: 62-year-old dennis howard has only 7% of his vision. legally blind. when did this happen? >> about three years ago. >> reporter: and how did it come about? >> for many, many years i've

known that i've had very high pressures that are related to glaucoma, and suddenly my right eye just checked out completely. it just went black. when this first happened, just walking down the street, i was a bloody mess. i'd fall off of things, run into things. i'd embarrass myself. >> reporter: with his right eye gone and sight in his left eye getting worse by the day, his days at sea appeared just about done. and when this happened, you thought it was -- it was over. there was no way. >> and it was a moment where i was on that don't despair part, i thought, well, it's too bad i can't sail anymore. and i just jumped to that conclusion. and it wasn't true. i just needed to think about it a little more. >> reporter: howard kept fighting but the intense pain from his condition left him with diz zig headaches. his situation so severe no doctor was willing to risk surgery. >> after i'd been to every center along the west coast and they couldn't help me, nobody wanted to touch me because my pressures are so high, and i just by great coincidence ran

into a surgeon that teaches surgeons how to take care of this condition. >> you need to be getting some regular checks. >> reporter: that encounter was with dr. david gritz, now an associate professor of ophthalmology at montefiore hospital in new york city. >> they're situations where if you don't do surgery, he's going to go blind. no doubt about it. in a very short time. >> reporter: dr. gritz successfully made an incision pocket to drain the excess fluid in howard's left eye, relieving that painful pressure. saving what limited vision he had left. and nearly five years later, his sight hasn't changed. now, howard is getting ready for his most difficult challenge yet. what made you decide this is the boat that's going to do it? >> i've known of these boats for 20 years or more. and i -- i've always enjoyed them. >> reporter: he wants to sail around the world solo. on this 20 foot boat.

this is going to be home for two years? >> two years. right. >> reporter: sailing solo is not easy when you have 20/20 vision. >> right. >> reporter: in a 20 foot boat, around the world. what makes you think you can do it? in the condition you're in. >> i know if i can walk across a busy street out here, that i can sail this boat in the ocean. >> reporter: some friends have told howard not to go. that it's too dangerous. he says he needs to. not for himself, but for others. my primary hope out of this is that with the level of our disability, me doing something like this, even the idea of me deciding to do something like this, i think could inspire people. people that have disabilities, that give up. before they need to. they can get out of the house. >> reporter: jeff glor, cbs news, san diego, california. >> definitely inspirational. to a lot of people not only with disabilities, but i mean anyone who's ever thought about it. this incredible feat to try to

do this. so, so difficult. >> i love the point he made, originally he thought he couldn't do it. then he said, i just need to think about it more. i think so many times in our lives there's things you have to think about more. >> that run-in with the doctor. >> thank goodness. >> with the doctor. >> absolutely. coming up still ahead, just about anyone can run a hotel these days. are you aware of this, chris? >> i did not know that. >> we will tell you how you can make some money but also lose yourself by renting a room to tourists. this is "the early show" on cbs. >> "cbs healthwatch" sponsored by prevacid 24 hour. summertime is now a happy time. when we can eat what we want and sleep soundly through the night. prevacid®24hr prevents the acid that causes frequent heartburn, all day, all night.

man accused of running down a child visiting san f good morning. 8:25 your time. let's get you caught up on some of the headlines on this tuesday. the hayward man accused of running down a child visiting san francisco facing a judge this afternoon. andrew vargas charged with several felonies including hit- and-run and drunk driving with injury. police say he was going the wrong way at the time of the accident. he is in court today. lawyers for barry bonds trying again to have his obstruction of justice conviction thrown out. they say federal prosecutors are inventing new legal theories to sustain a verdict. the government said bonds lied when asked if he ever got injections from his trainer. and hundreds of san francisco buses will get new surveillance cameras. "the examiner" reports muni has secured a $6 million federal grant to buy cameras that offer

wireless realtime access to footage. current cameras record on tape kept on the bus. traffic and weather coming right up. stay right there. ,, ,,,,,, ,,,,

good morning. well, we are still seeing huge delays on southbound 680

through danville. this accident finally cleared out of lanes approaching el cerro boulevard. if you see a tow crew there may be activity on the shoulder but the backups extend towards highway 242. speeds below 25 miles per hour. so you're looking at possibly 45-minute delays across that stretch as far back as walnut creek. elsewhere outside, the nimitz 880 through oakland a bright spot. no delay at all past the coliseum. and at the bay bridge, the metering lights are on so it is stacked up to about the 880 overcrossing. that is your traffic. for your forecast, here's lawrence. >> we have some patchy fog around the bay area, we have delays at sfo now to 36 minutes with the patchy fog but looking good in the valleys. out toward pleasanton hazy sunshine and more sun toward the afternoon. temperatures heating up to the 80s in many spots inland maybe low 90s well inland in brentwood and antioch. inside the bay 60s and 70s. 80s toward san jose. patchy fog at the coast, temperatures in the 50s and 60s. more of the same over the next

few days, warmer, then cooling off the latter part of the weekend. ,, ,,,,,,

and welcome back to "the early show." i'm chris wragge with rebecca jarvis. erica hill is on assignment in west africa. coming up, kanye west. >> he knows how to get in trouble. >> he's getting rapped for his comments over the weekend in england. talks about getting too much hate out of respect. saying people look at him like he's one of the worst people ever. actually compared himself to

hitler at some point. >> yeah. >> so, we'll tell you exactly what the gist of his latest rant was coming up in the next couple of minutes. >> also ahead, you may have heard about people using a new website to rent their spare bedrooms to tourists. it might sound like a great idea, because can you make some extra bucks doing it. well, having your home ransacked is not what the hosts signed up for, and we will hear what happens when these short-term rentals go horribly wrong. >> two words, security deposit. >> yes, security deposit and insurance. >> all right. we're going to get to that. but first if you're about to go to work and you're not happy about it, you're definitely not alone. a recent survey confirms what a lot of us have experienced firsthand and that is rudeness in the workplace is up and morale is way down. >> ready. >> you're going to hate it here. ♪ working 9 to 5 >> reporter: for generations of americans, the 9:00 to 5:00 workday was the staple of corporate culture. but since 2007, our economy has lost nearly 9 million jobs, with

remaining employees working longer and harder than ever. and many aren't happy about it. >> i'm also going to need you to go ahead and come in on sunday, too. okay? >> reporter: according to a recent study, the workplace is becoming increasingly hostile. 86% of workers experienced rude behavior this year, while 90% admitted to instigating it. >> it's not surprising that instability is on the rise. because when people are stressed, and they're in triage mode all the time, the first thing that goes is the wayside are people saying thank you and please. they're really not paying attention to their interpersonal skills. they're really just focusing on how to get the job done. and it doesn't really matter who they steamroll in the process. >> people have families, and bills to pay. they're not going out of their way to do something good for somebody else. >> people tend to be frustrated, and you know, attack more of their colleagues, rather than going to upper level management because they're afraid of their jobs. >> reporter: those fears were

recently brought to life in the box office hit "horrible bosses." >> i told you i need to see her because she was very, very sick. you said if i left early i'd get fired. and she died before i made it to the hospital. >> i'm sorry. >> thank you. >> reporter: in many offices, it seems that life is imitating art with an overwhelming 65% blaming leadership for workplace instability while 59% say it's the employees, and 46% point to the economy. >> people who have their jobs think they have to work superhard just to hang onto them. at the same time you're looking around and maybe your co-worker isn't working as hard as you. that makes you annoyed. you feel resentful. >> joining us now is generational workplace expert jason dorsey, author of "y-size your business." jason, not good to see you and you look terrible. how's that for hostile? >> thanks, i want to get promoted. >> there you go. we start things off on -- no.

why do you think workplace incivility is so prevalent now? >> one of the things we discovered during our consulting is there's just so much stress. and it's not overt, necessarily, from the manager or from the executive. there's a feeling that if i don't cut it, if i don't get out there and push everybody else out of my way, i'm not going to get to keep my job. and this is not just from new employees who are worried about the last hired, first fired, these are from very experienced employees who are telling us, they've never felt this feeling of pressure before, and they look at their friends, who have lost their jobs, they see how long they've been unemployed, and they want to do everything possible to keep the job they have. and when you're in survival mode, you're not worried about manners at all. >> and there's a lot of jealousy, resentment in the workplace. let's talk about one of the percentages we showed there. the studies, the largest number of people surveyed, 65% blamed leadership for workplace incivility. how crucial, "a," is good leadership at a company, and why are so many managers bad leaders? >> in the first place a

company's culture is a direct reflection of their leadership. if leadership is not doing their job, you're going to see that in the culture. so whatever is happening in a company, at the end of the day, is on the shoulder of the leaders. and anybody who does anything different just doesn't get it. and the second part is what can leaders do? i mean from my viewpoint the leaders have to step up and model the behavior. one of my favorite stories is when i was at a company and doing a little bit of a secret shopper hanging out, checking out things, like i do a lot. and there was a manager absolutely crhewing out this young employee below the sign that said our company mission is to value our employees. that's the message they're living. >> they all say that. 34% of people blame young people for incivility. i know it's difficult here where i work, rebecca jarvis, we don't talk until we're here on the set, very uncivilized. i'm kidding of course. but does it come down to manners. is that why young people are blamed a lot, they just don't know better? >> it comes down to differences in manners. >> let me give you an example.

>> i was with a lot of engineers yesterday. for them it was very important to be kind of buttoned up and suited and they had their ties and very formal. and yet we had some younger engineers show up and they were in jeans and kind of short-sleeved shirts and yet the dress code was, business casual. and so i asked one of the young engineers, i said, why don't you, you know, dress business casual? he goes, i only have holes in the front of my jeans. >> right. final question for you here. besides placing that placard above employees saying that we're going to value and respect our employees, what can companies do to create a more healthy work environment? >> i think there's three quick steps they can take. they don't happen fast, but the three steps are easy to understand. the first is to have a conversation, really look at what is professionalism and respect look like in our work environment. what i mean by that is, one company where i was consulting was absolutely safe to be nexting while you're talking to your boss. and running around with blue hair and all of that. that was totally fine. where at other companies, the financial services, being

conservative and more formal and proper is expected. so get clear on what is the culture of your company that you want. the second piece and this is also overlooked. kind of alluded to it with the age differences is you've got to bring viversty to the table. what that means is not diversity in the common sense people think of. but different ages, different titles, different places within the company, and let them share what professionalism and respect looks like to them and get them to buy in. >> and what's the third one? >> the third one is to get leaders to actually model the behavior. running around telling people, be professional, be respectful, and then shooting off the e-mails that are rude and insulting, you know what people notice, and what they follow. >> all right. jason, good to talk with you. >> thanks for having me. >> all right. talk to you soon. >> keep modeling that good behavior. >> whatever it takes. >> another model of good behavior, randall pinkston standing by at the news desk with more headlines. >> thank you. no incivility here. >> none. to try to

stabilize the markets. this morning, the remains of 30 american casualties of war are being returned to the united states. 22 navy s.e.a.l.s among the dead, when their helicopter was shot down saturday in afghanistan. their caskets arrive at dover air force base in delaware this morning. oregon health officials say they've traced a deadly e. coli outbreak to a strawberry farm southwest of portland. at least ten people were sickened, after eating berries picked at the farm. one elderly woman died. officials say the bacteria apparently was spread by wild deer, and the farm is not to blame. a funeral mass is planned tomorrow in ohio for dr. bernadine healy, the former director of the national institutes of health. healy was also a former head of the american red cross, science adviser to president ronald

>> thanks so much, that's your latest weather. now here's rebecca. >> marysol, thank you. would you like to settle into a nice, friendly, neighborhood on your next vacation? short-term vacation rentals where people offer roofs in their homes to tourists are on

the rise. but there are some risks for both hosts and guests as "early" show contributor taryn winter brill found out. >> we haven't had the option to watch tv together -- >> tv watchers -- >> oh, no. >> reporter: at first glance, these two might look like roomies. or a couple. while they are, in fact, sleeping under the same roof, they only met two weeks ago. >> have you ever boxed a kangaroo? >> negative. >> reporter: talin ackly lives in australia. she's on vacation in new york city. but rather than stay in a hotel she's renting out this spare bedroom in seth porges' brooklyn condo. which she found on airbnb a short-term vacation rental site. for $90 a night talin gets a home away from home. does it make you feel like you're in the comfort of your own bedroom. >> absolutely. and it helps you to adjust to being a different country almost immediately because it's like home. it's not a hotel.

you don't have a hotel key or anything like that. so it's really nice. >> reporter: another bonus, full use of the kitchen. including food items. free toiletries in the bathroom, access to a rooftop deck, and her own private balcony, with a city view. but it's the neighborhood feel she enjoys most. >> i'm having the local experience. and that's what i was after. i didn't want to be a tourist. i want something like a local new yorker. >> reporter: while talin gets to live like a new yorker, the major benefit for seth is financial. >> when you rent out your room by the night you can make a lot more money than renting out by the month. so being an air bnb host can make a lot more money than renting out to a roommate full time. >> reporter: seth says his spare room is booked about 28 days out of the month, which adds up to more than $30,000 a year. with obvious benefits, airbnb, a $1.3 billion company is just one of many sites taking advantage of the short-term vacation rental market. but there's inherrant risks. these sites don't do background

checks. >> when you look at something like craigslist i think that people don't expect there to be protections there so they do their own extra layer of vetting. that needs to exist for anybody doing a house rental. i would not entrust a company to do that vetting for me. i would want to do it myself. >> reporter: airbnb was recently thrust into the spotlight after a woman blogged about a guest whoburg arized her san francisco apartment. >> she came home and her house was trashed. and she immediately got on the phone, called airbnb and didn't get the response that she wanted. now they have completely step two and they're dealing with her and trying to make it right. after that story came out, a man in oakland raised his hand and said, hey, actually an incident happened to me as well. this one gets creepier. >> reporter: the host says he unknowingly rented his apartment to a drug addict, who trashed the place, took an ax to several doors, and left behind more than one meth pipe. while airbnb declined an

on-camera statement, the company says it's rolling out new consumer protections and will cover up to $50,000 in damages and theft for hosts. >> i don't think there's any huge risk for the vacation rental market. i think it's hugely popular for a very good reason. i think the most important lesson to come out of this is, buyer beware. >> and a representative from airbnb told us these incidents, they are rare. the company plans to implement this $50,000 guarantee next monday, and it has already unveiled a new trust and safety center. now here's chris. well, the appalachian trail runs for 2200 miles from maine to georgia. and experienced hikers usually need months to go from one end to the other. jennifer pharr davis did it in just seven weeks. the fastest time in history. and she had a lot of help from her husband, brew davis. they both join us now. congratulations to you on a successful mission. you had a chance to rest now. >> for us. it's going to take months, i think, to rest. but we're enjoying our time off

of the trail. >> you got some videos, great pictures of it. what was it like when you finally, got to the end, crossed the finish line, you had a nice little welcoming committee there, what was going through your mind, what was the 2350e8 feeling? >> it was completely overchemming. we had worked so hard for 46 days to get there. i think at the end it was just this relief of all emotions. of happiness, of sadness that it was over, of fatigue. i mean, everything could finally just come out. >> yeah, brew, did you have any doubt in your mind that she would be able to do this in record time? >> i would never say doubt. i think there was uncertainty. i mean you just don't know what's going to happen. i mean, the last time she did the trail, the very last day she almost stepped on a rattlesnake. that would have ended the record attempt right there. so you don't want to count your chickens until they hatch. and so when she was about a mile away from the summit of springer mountain, that's when we felt like we could breathe a sigh of relief. home stretch. >> yeah. >> is it more physical, is it

more mental? >> that's a really good question. because it's so intensely physical. but i struggle to say that it's just as much mental. but in the end i think it is. because honestly, there are guys who have gone after this record who are faster than i am. who maybe have more experience than i do in races. but, to mentally wake up each morning, at 4:45 a.m., consistently move throughout the day, not take breaks, stay focused on this final goal, through pain, through bad weather, through hardship, it's a mental game as much as a physical. >> what were you saying to you her throughout the course of the days? >> i just tried to stay positive and when she needed more encouragement, i tried to give that to her when she needed sympathy, i tried to give that to her. >> what kind of brace you keeping? how many miles a day, how many hours? >> well, the average for the entire trip, we averaged 46.93 miles a day. for 46 days. but, you break that down and

really for us, it was just three miles per hour. and that's doable. anyone can do three miles per hour. but we were doing it for 15 or 17 hours a day. so it was really long days and a really consistent pace. >> so what's next for you two, what do you do? what do you hike next? >> well, we rest, first. and then, there's so many trails, all throughout the u.s., all throughout the world, and the great thing is, most of them are free. they're available to anyone, and so, there's a lot of other hikes that we'd like to do, and hopefully focusing on family, maybe one day if we have kids we'll be able -- >> little hikers. >> yeah, take them out, too. go a little slower with them. >> thank you both for being with us. congratulations. and so many other records out there for you to break, as well. jennifer, and brew davis thank you both. >> thanks for having us. >> now here's rebecca. >> chris, thank you. coming up next, kanye west, well known for his music. also his big mouth. this time you won't believe who the ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

on monday, hip-hop fans got their first look at one of the most anticipated albums of the summer, a collaboration by jay-z and kahn way west, two of hip cops biggest stars. >> but as ben tracy reports, the cd's debut is being overshadowed by another controversy involving west. >> reporter: the raw talent that flows so effortlessly out of kanye west's mouth is perhaps only eclipsed by his seemingly endless capacity for sticking his foot in his mouth. >> i am number one human being in music. >> reporter: this past weekend the 34-year-old rapper hit another sour note. in an onstage rant in england, he exclaimed that he often feels as hated as adolf hitler. >> and i walk through the hotel, i walk down the street, and people look at me like i'm [ bleep ] insane. like i'm hitler.

>> reporter: the singer's notorious self-pity, intentioned for feeling persecuted, wungs led to this depiction as a tortured messiah on the cover of "rolling stone" magazine. >> i think kanye is being true to kanye. i don't think that he thinks he's doing anything wrong. >> reporter: west has earned his reputation the hard way. >> thank you so much -- >> reporter: at the 2008 mtv video music awards, he stormed the stage and told a stunned taylor swift that beyonce should have won her award, instead. >> be happy for you, let you finish but beyonce had one of the best videos of all time. one of the best videos of all time. >> reporter: in 2005, while raising money for hurricane katrina victims, west infamously said this. >> george bush doesn't care about black people. >> reporter: the president later called it one of the most disgusting moments of his presidency. of course, creating controversy can also generate album sales. and kanye's collaboration with jay-z is expected to be huge.

>> it's very anticipated. it's an event album near on track with that album to sell first week sales of 400,000 to 500,000. >> i want to take people to understand everything i ever did, ever side, was to throw myself on the blame for the sake of someone else. >> reporter: west, who has never suffered from an excess of humility, also compared himself to basketball great michael jordan this weekend, as he started his show a half hour late. ben tracy, cbs news, los angeles. >> very high opinion of himself. >> yes. >> doesn't he? >> he definitely knows how to say a couple of foolish things. >> he says dumb things. but the tailor swift thing that was just nasty, though, and made so many people so uncomfortable. >> you're going to sell records. that's what he's going to do. >> have a great day, everybody. your local news is next. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
