7:04 am
community and that culture. to see what that culture and the fall from grace within the last few weeks has been painful, so he's been dealing with his own issues resulting from the sexual abuse. on top of that now, he's got to deal with the issues that are surrounding the football program. >> reporter: according to an e-mail obtained by the associated press mcqueary says after stopping the assault he discussed it with police. yesterday a university spokeman said, to her knowledge, to police report was filed. erica s erica. >> thank you. also with us, attorney jeff anderson who specializes in child sexual abuse cases and is representing some of jerry sandusky's alleged victims. these new details coming out, speaking to mcqueary yesterday and also the e-mail he touched on that we learned about in which mcqueary said he did, in fact, go to police. how is that sitting with your
7:05 am
victims? >> well, these new revelations and sandusky's denials really are causing for the survivors and these victims and the families really revictimization and retraumatization. they are suffering confusion and fury because sandusky and those around him remain free to speak and deny. and every time they do speak and deny, they are really putting salt in the wounds. they're really putting a dagger in the heart. they're really wounding the soul even further and in that way trying to work with the survivors with the recovery and protect them and let them know something can be done. >> mm-hmm. >> and will be done about what
7:06 am
has been done. >> we are learning as we learned, more victims have come forward. more alleged victims are being vetted. have you been contacted by more alleged victims in the last couple of days? >> yes, we have. we have been contacted by a number of families and the victims' families. all of them expressing a desire to make the truth known about what happened to them and their families and in particular a desire, a courageous desire to make sure that other kids are not harmed because in the final analysis with the victims and the survivors, courageous survivors we work with want, first, to be believed and, second, to make sure other kids are not harmed the way they were and are. that's why we are working so hard. >> in terms of that going
7:07 am
forward, to make sure no child is harmed there's been a lot of discussion about how this was handled by the university. what do you feel the action should be on a university level? >> well, there is no question that there is here an institutional failure, a cover-up if you will by a trusted authority figure throughout the institution. what this institution has to do is take immediate action to speak the truth, take action to make sure that no further kids are harmed in the future and to reach out to the survivors and to make sure no further harm is done to them. their privacy is respected and action is taken by those at the top on down to make sure they do not allow other kids to be hurt the way so many kids have been by sandusky and the institutional cover-up. >> we appreciate your time this
7:08 am
morning. thank you. >> you're welcome. want to turn to the story involving the white house. the secret service is trying to track a bullet fired into the president's home. >> this morning a manhunt being led by the secret service for a possible suspect. chip reed has more from the white house for us this morning. >> good morning. the secret service says they know who they are looking for and they believe he could be a danger to the president. 9:30 last friday night, police responded in force to reports of shots fired near the white house. they found this car, crashed and abandoned near the roosevelt bridge, about eight blocks from the white house. a semiautomatic rifle was inside. the car belongs to oscar ortega hernandez. he's believed to be mentally ill with a record of domestic violence and drug charges. >> this is a man who discharged a rifle in downtown d.c. it speaks volumes.
7:09 am
>> reporter: there was a cracked window at the white house and ba a bullet that was stopped by bullet proof glass. hernandez has not been conclusively linked to the shooting but police are searching for him, spurred on by evidence that he has a fixation with the white house. he has been visiting the national mall for weeks. now that he's on the run they are said to fear what he might do next. the president is on the other side of the world now in australia. when the shooting occurred five days ago he was in california. chris and erica, back to you. >> chip reed at the white house this morning for us. thank you. speaking of the president, just a few hours ago he announced a new military partnership with australia. >> his trip is sending a message to china. senior white house correspondent bill plante is traveling with the president and joins us from canberra, australia, this morning. good morning, bill. >> reporter: good morning. the u.s. is ramping up its military presence in south asia.
7:10 am
officials say it's about disaster aid and combatting terrorism and piracy. what the president doesn't say out loud is that it's also about countering china's aggressiveness. >> we welcome a rising peaceful china. what they have been able to achieve in terms of lifting people out of poverty has been nothing short of remarkable. with the rise comes increased responsibilities. it's important for them to play by the rules of the road. >> reporter: the new agreement with long-time american ally australia called for u.s. marines to begin training with australian forces in the northern part of the country near the shipping lanes of the south china sea. 250 marines will arrive next year. they will eventually grow to a task force of 2,500. u.s. aircraft will rotate through bases in northern australia. today the president makes his
7:11 am
major speech of the trip to australia's parliament. the message, despite defense cuts the u.s. intends to build up its presence in this region and to remain a pacific power. erica? >> bill plante in australia this morning for us. thanks. let's look now at the fallout from the sunday "60 minutes" report which showed how insider trading regulations don't necessarily apply to members of congress. nancy has the latest from capitol hill for us this morning. >> reporter: good morning. the stock act has been languishing on capitol hill for years, never getting much attention. since that "60 minutes" piece aired they have picked up 19 cosponsors for the bill in the house. for the first time ever it is being introduced in the senate. in the "60 minutes" story steve croft sat down with peter shh wietser who found red flags in the financial disclosure forms of members of congress. >> if you sit on a health care
7:12 am
committee and you know medicare, for example, is considering not reimbursing for a certain drug, that's market-moving information. if you can trade stock and do so legally off that information, that's a great profit-making opportunity. that sort of behavior goes on. >> reporter: the story prompted senator scott brown to introduce the stock act, a bill to prohibit insider trading by members of congress and the people who work for them. >> if we have people dealing with sensitive information they shouldn't take the information and line their pockets with money. >> reporter: a version of the bill was first introduced in the house by former washington state representative brian baird. >> how many cosponsors did you get? >> six. >> that's not a big amount. >> it's not. you could have national cherry pie week and get a hundred cosponsors. >> reporter: house speaker john boehner says there are already guidelines for congressional
7:13 am
investments making a bill like this unnecessary. >> i have not made any decisions on day-to-day trading activities on my account and haven't for years. >> reporter: but senator brown and other supporters believe a new law would send an important message. >> we are just like you. if we have someone in congress using insider trading they should be punished just like you. >> reporter: the stock act would require members to report any trade on which they make more than $1,000. the key to success here will be members who support the act getting the attention of leadership which in the past has been, at best, indifferent, chris. >> cbs's nancy cortes for us this morning. thank you very much. new york democratic senator kirsten gillibrand joins us now from capitol hill. good to have you with us. >> thank you. >> congress has been playing by a different set for a long time and profiting from it.
7:14 am
why does it take a story on "60 minutes" to get action to take place? >> reporte >> i didn't realize it was a problem. members of congress should not play by rules different from other people. we need to have oversight and accountability to make sure the rules are the same for everybody. >> i know transparency is one of your hallmarks. massachusetts senator scott brown is on this issue as well. how do you police the free flow of political intelligence or insider trading, whatever you call it. how do you police it among congress members? >> if it's illegal they won't do it. we have disclosure now. the reason they were able to do this "60 minutes" piece was because this information is publically available. it has to be illegal just like for everyone else. it's not right for someone who gets access to inside information to be able to profit from that. members of congress have access to a lot of information about
7:15 am
different laws being written, who will be regulated, who will get government contracts. they should not be able to profit from the position they hold as a public servant. >> so a lot of powerful people made a lot of money over these lax rules over the years. this legislation, like nancy mentioned, has been dead on arrival since 2006. how do you ensure something will get done this time around? >> we are building some consensus. we are beginning to get cosponsors. senator tester, senator stabenow joined the bill. we'll get bipartisan support for this. i think it is something that's now seen the light of day and we realize it is a problem and we'll make a difference on it. >> you talk about getting support. you saw the report. i think when you look at something like this you would think there would be resounding support because of the 975 federal entities only congress
7:16 am
and the supreme court seem to be free of the rules. why only 19 cosponsors at this point? you would think everyone would want to jump on board with approval ratings for congress being what they are. >> good point. the more we make the case for this and why additional transparency and oversight and making sure this is in violation of the senate and hois rules, i think putting those pieces in place will make a difference and the more we talk with colleagues they will realize this is an important change to be made, especially, the american people don't have a lot of trust in congress. they look to congress and know it's broken. a measure like this can begin to restore trust. it's incouple bent upon us to make the changes that the american people would expect we would make so we live by the same rules as everyone else does. >> seeing a report like this does nothing for trust. with our last 30 seconds here we have been talking about congresswoman gabrielle giffords. i know you are close friends
7:17 am
with her. you said you have seen glimmers of the gabby you knew before the shooting. >> in her most recent interview her laugh, style, sticktoitiveness. she's tough as nails, determined, focused. she wants to make a difference and she knows her big challenge is healing herself. she's so committed to it. when i have read the profiles in the last few weeks i'm continually inspired by her, by how much her husband loves her and is making every effort to will her forward. it's a beautiful story, an american story. it's about what's best among americans, the drive, the pull yourself up by your bootstraps, never giving up. i love her for it. >> senator, thank you very much. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> we have to all play by the same rules. >> imagine that. >> it's borderline ridiculous to see what people have gotten away with. >> people are upset,

. welcome back to "the early show" on a wednesday morning. i'm erica hill with chris wragge. it is wednesday, right? >> today is my day. >> we begin this half hour with a fascinating interview with steve jobs from 1995. the interview was recently discovered, it was thought to have been lost for years, but it is now part of a new documentary opening in theaters today. >> it is very conversational. a co-founder of apple is unusually candid about his many subjects including a rival tech giant. >> the only problem with microsoft is they just have no taste. you were on a mission from god, you know, to save apple. i don't really care about being right, you know. i just care about success. us too.
7:31 am
we didn't know much. we could build the little things that could control a giant thing. the way that we're going to ratchet up our species is to take the best and to spread it around everybody, so that everybody grows up with better things. >> joining us now is bob cringely who did that interview 16 years ago, writer of "steve jobs: the last interview." nice to have you with us this morning. you knew steve jobs pretty well. you worked with him. >> he hired and fired me three times. >> he was probably more candid with you than he would have been perhaps with more people. he seems like a guy who never held back. >> steve didn't have much of an internal critic if that's what you mean. when we did this interview in '95, i knew him for 20 years or almost 20 years. i think he was more comfortable than he had ever been in any previous interview. after he came back to apple, they were guarded about letting him out. >> this documentary is from 1995, shows a side of the apple
7:32 am
founder that many haven't seen before. let's look at another clip here where he discusses himself in rare form. >> i'm also one of these people that i don't really care about being right, you know? i just care about success. so you'll find a lot of people that will tell you that i had a very strong opinion and they presented evidence to the contrary and five minutes later i completely changed my mind because i'm like that. i don't mind being wrong. i'll admit i'm wrong a lot. doesn't really matter to me too much. what matters to me is we do the right thing. >> that was more surprising. the back end of that little bite that we see there that he says i don't mind admitting i'm wrong, that's not really the picture a lot of people have, myself included of steve jobs. >> it is very true. the process of evolving the products was such that there was a lot of discord. my relationship with steve was based solely on screaming. >> that we have heard. there was a lot of screaming.
7:33 am
>> to be fired three times, what were those firings like? did you deserve to be fired or was this him being ticked off at you in. >> steve could interface at any time with six people. and so he wanted to be dealing with the six most important people in his life at that moment. if you were important to him, he would, you know, do anything -- you would hear from him seven times a day. if you dropped off the six, you didn't exist. >> so much talk about steve jobs since his passing. what makes this interview unique. you went back and looked at this footage and dealings with him, what makes it personal? >> we didn't know it existed. we did the interview from '95. it is a 69-minute interview, we used nine minutes of it. and the rest was thought lost because we lost all the master tapes in shipping. and then the director, when steve jobs died, the director said, well, i think i've got a copy of that interview in my garage. and he had never told any of us that he had a copy of it.
7:34 am
and i immediately asked which of the other 124 interviews he had a copy of. and none of them. so pulled it out and we looked at it and were amazed at how it held up over the years. if you know about the -- his return to am, the eye macimac, ipad, the iphone, the itunes, all of those things coming, it really says a lot about steve and his process. >> was there anything in rewatching this interview, 16 years later, that you had forgotten about or that surprised you? >> i had forgotten about everything. you know, yes and no. what i loved about it was that it really revealed steve -- this is an unedited interview. this is not a movie. there is no music in this thing. we have 69 minutes with steve jobs, which has never been seen before and will never be seen again. it is unique. >> it was something that stood out to you, though, you have a favorite moment you take away from this? >> yeah, i think so. he tells a joke. you know? there is steve jobs pretending

january. national correspondent dean reynolds is in des moines with the latest on that. hey, dean, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, jeff. according to the pollsters here, while the race in iowa is still in flux, the top tier of candidates appears to be set. a four-way dead heat in the latest iowa polling with herman cain, ron paul, mitt romney and newt gingrich all within striking distance of each other has a sobering statistic for each one of them. 60% of the survey's respondents say they could be persuaded to support someone other than their top choice. >> things are crowded now and getting more so. i think you're seeing the candidates put on their final push and caucusgoers are responding by spreading out their votes. >> reporter: having raised $3 million since october 1st, gingrich will soon be running campaign ads to bolster a plan to be here for 30 of the next 48 days leading up to the caucuses. >> the news media said i was
7:37 am
dead in june and july. yesterday afternoon in jefferson, iowa, someone produced me as the front-runner. you can't tell what is going to happen. >> reporter: while cain is a percentage point or two ahead in the latest poll, he's setting the bar for success rather low. >> what would be an acceptable finish in this state for you? >> we have set our target of finishing in the top three. now, are we planning to try to win first place? yes. but in politics, as you know, you can't always predict the exact outcome. >> reporter: especially iowa politics. four years ago social conservative mike huckabee won the contest. could another social conservative like michele bachmann or rick santorum pull off another upset? >> this poll says no. times have changed. iowans are much more interested by a 3-1 ratio in the physical issues facing this nation. >> reporter: and finishing in a top tier of candidates does not always carry long-term significance. it was exactly one year ago that

the middle east has always been a flash point in world politics. at this particular moment the region is tense with the u.s. pull out from iraq and iraq's nuclear program and the fall from the arab spring. >> joining us is william cohen. his latest thriller is "blink of the eye." congratulations on the book. we will talk about the book coming up. i want to ask you about a few things first. about what we are dealing with on a day-to-day basis here. in times of war, presidents often look to their commanders on the ground for accurate information. yesterday, during the senate armed services committee
7:43 am
meeting, the chief acknowledged not one commander on the ground advised it would be wise to pull all of the troops out of iraq which is what president obama is doing the next few weeks. what advice would you have given and how do you feel the president has acted in this situation? >> i didn't see the interview. i saw just snippets of the replay and the question for me would be did the top military adviser meet with the president and say here are the options? if we keep a certain number of our troops there, under what circumstances are they under our jurisdiction, our rule, our immunity, are they under the rule of the iraqis? that would be a big issue for the president's side. but, clearly, he has to have a series of options presented to him and from that give and take that i saw, it was unclear to me whether or not he was asked his opinion, whether it's wise, unwise, whether levels of troops from 10,000, 20,000, i heard the number 3,000. at one time, that number was being discussed.
7:44 am
hard for me to make a judgment on that. i think clearly the president of the united states, commander in chief needs to have the advice straight advice coming from t the -- his adviser, principal military adviser in terms of what are the risks involved in keeping our troops there, what are the rewards if we do keep them there, the seeds of democracy settled enough that we can leave and believe that iraq can defend itself adequately? those are issues any president has to have as key advisers give. >> in terms of some of those issues, some of this did come up. a little bit of an exchange between senator mccain and leon pa net a and saying the president should have done a better job negotiating. secretary panetta said you're dealing with a sovereign nation. we can't tell them essentially what to do. i mean, do you agree with that? at the end of the day, you do have to defer to the country are you? >> at the end of the day, that is our position and every country that we operate, we are there at the -- at the
7:45 am
invitation and the severance of the sovereign government and if we want us to leave, we have no choice but to leave unless we intend to occupy a country and this whole effort was set up to create a democracy which means that they are a sovereign country and they will make their own determination. >> we talked about iran last week, finding out they are closer to developing a nuclear weapon than originally thought. what can president obama do besides sanctions to prevent that from happening? >> the sanctions have to be intensified. the key here would be both russia and china. we have been unwilling to really join in serious sanctions, which could present the leaders of iran with an option. either they change their policy or face regime change, because the economic sanctions could be so sever. i think absent that, you're looking at the potential of a military option and, here, you would want the best advice from your military advisers. is this something that would be wise to do and that is something i think the president is in the process of -- >> especially not to take it lightly lp speaking of nuclear

8:01 am
community coming together and in so many different ways which you'll see mathis morning. and new rules for credit cards. this could affect everybody who is trying to get credit, doesn't have income of your own, make good money, kids are in school, maybe your spouse is a stay at home parent, your child is in college. turns out they may not be able to get a credit card in their own name. why have these rules changed? what can you do if you or a loved one falls under the new rules and gets turned down but you need to build credit? carmen wong ulrich is here with the answers. before we get to all that, the latest presidential polling in iowa shows four republican candidates, herman cain, ron paul, mitt romney and newt gingrich virtually tide for the fleet that key state. one time iowa front-runner michele bachmann is trailing all of them by double digits. now the minnesota congresswoman is criticizing her fellow candidates for not being conservative enough. congressman bachmann joins us this morning from storm lake, iowa. nice to have you with us this
8:02 am
morning. >> good to be with you, erica. thank you. >> you have a new website out, you have a new ad on that website. we where you attack the other candidates, the other republican candidates, go on mitt romney for flip-flopping, after rick perry on immigration, and in that ad there is a clip of newt gingrich and nancy pelosi talking about the importance of working together. why attack newt gingrich on that point when so many americans have said, and you have seen the approval ratings for congress, they really want their lawmakers to start working together in washington, to finding some sort of way that they can work out a bipartisan answer to so many of the issues. >> well, the website is called nosurprises2012.com and it highlights the differences between the candidates. i think when we come up to the point where we're going to be having a debate with barack obama, we want to make sure our candidate on the republican side doesn't have any issues where the president of the united states is identical to our
8:03 am
candidate. that's why this is such an important website, nosurprises 2012.com because it highlights the real differences that there are. and our candidates, many of them, are compromised with barack obama. i'm the only candidate in this race that has no compromise and that's why we want people to know about the differences. >> so you want them to know about the differences, want to make sure they're not identical on any issue with president obama. again, when you look at that bit that you put in about newt gingrich and nancy pelosi talking about working together, why is that a bad thing to try to work across the aisle? >> well, this highlights just one of the many examples where former speaker newt gingrich had positions that are really against what the people and the primary states are looking for. he was standing with nancy pelosi to advocate for a national sales tax on energy. that's not what we need now in our economy. he was also the chief author of
8:04 am
the individual health care mandate, and that's what known as obama care. no one wants to see that either. also, he was taking $300,000 from fannie and freddie to influence republicans to support fannie and freddie, which was the epicenter of the financial meltdown. those are just a few of the differences. it is not being personal. this isn't being snotty to any of the other candidates. it is saying where we stand on the issues and the fact there is real differences between the candidates. >> a quick yes or no, you're not saying it is a bad thing to work with people who may have a difference of opinion, especially when you're trying to help issues of the american people, it is okay to have a discussion about different things and work across the aisle? >> well, of course it is. i work with the other side as well. right now i'm working with other members of congress and we're coming together in a big project that is going to affect a couple of states. that is what we want to do to be able to get something done. and i'm in the process of doing that myself. that's a big difference between working together to advance
8:05 am
something good versus working with speaker pelosi to put a brand-new national energy tax on all the american people, which is going to make our country far less competitive with cap and trade. >> let's talk about iowa now. as we mentioned, the latest bloomberg iowa poll is out showing a dead heat for herman cain, mitt romney, ron paul and newt gingrich. you're trailing at 5%. there is also plenty of polling out there that says, look, this can all change. people have not made up their mi minds. you're trying to separate yourself as the more conservative option. are you concerned in some way, though, pardon me, you could isolate yourself from other americans, especially if you do become the nominee because you will need to appeal to a vast range of americans including many moderates up for grabs as we know and independents? >> well, not at all this is an extremely fluid race. quite a few of the polls say 70% of the people are undecided. and here in iowa, when the vote came, i was the one who won the straw poll in less time than any
8:06 am
other candidate. and the only woman ever to win the iowa straw poll. so we're focused on january 3rd. again, i came from a state like minnesota, the first woman ever to win in minnesota, the republican woman to go to washington, and i did that by appealing to democrats, and independents, and moderates, and i can do that because people see me as a straight shooter. i say what i mean. i mean what i say. and i don't dance around. i'm not a politician. i'm a real person. that's what people are looking for. >> speaking of meaning what you say, you have a new memoir due out next week. in it, you talk about president bush. at one point you touch on the t.a.r.p. program saying at this point he and secretary paulson had a kind of, quote, bailout socialism. those are strong words to use, especially the word socialism which does not sit well with a number of conservatives. >> well, i'm looking forward to the new book that is coming out next week. but, again, i -- this is a place where i am very different from the other candidates in this
8:07 am
race in that i stood up and i opposed the $700 billion bailout, just like this summer i opposed the super committee that is coming out now. this is -- this will have very real differences and what we're going to see is that in almost a trillion dollars will be cut out of the defense budget. we just had a letter come out from defense secretary panetta that said, we will see our military at its lowest level of troops since 1940, after ten years we'll have our lowest level of ships since 1914, and the lowest level of aircraft in our air force ever and we will be at a tremendous disadvantage militarily and a tremendous disadvantage economically. i was right last summer when i said that we needed to not form this super committee and instead prioritize our spending last summer. >> so you feel that this current spending as we know is wrong and especially when it comes to defense. there has been a lot of talk about troops.
8:08 am
there was an interesting exchange yesterday in this testimony about the decision to pull the troops out of iraq between senator mccain and secretary panetta. senator mccain felt more negotiating should have been done. i'm having a tough time talking this morning. excuse me, congresswoman. secretary panetta is saying essentially we're negotiating with a sovereign nation. you cannot tell them what to do, you cannot force them to allow american troops to remain there with some sort of immunity. do you agree that everything was done that could have been done, especially after hearing from defense secretary panetta? >> no, absolutely it wasn't done. president obama absolutely failed on this issue of iraq. don't forget, in the amount of time we have been there, we have expended 4400 lives to liberate iraq and $805 billion. iraq will not be able to stand against iranian influence. and already we have seen that iraqi general make his way to iran to try and seek a peace. iraq is not a poor country.
8:09 am
they're a welty country and i'm calling on president obama to go back to the negotiating table. iraq should pay us back. >> can you force -- can you force another country, though, to do what you want? is that the best way for diplomacy? >> there is a lot that could have been done behind the scenes. and president obama failed. president obama wasn't in direct communication on a regular basis with the leadership in iraq. it has been a long time since he had been in communication. he disadvantaged the situation. he took his eye off the main issue in the middle east, which is a nuclear iran. and now we found out last week, an iaea report that iran could have everything it needs to have a nuclear weapon. this is history changing. and president obama has failed us. and when it comes to iraq, if you consider what the united states has extended, at the least the president should have gotten something. we got nothing out of this deal.
8:10 am
president obama completely failed. he had a war that was won, and he's determined to lose the peace. this is significant. >> congresswoman, we have to -- >> give back the trillion dollars they owe us. >> i don't want the satellite to cut us off. so i'll have to do it. michele bachmann, thank you for your time this morning. >> thank you, erica. good morning to you. now jeff glor with a check of the headlines. >> in our news here for the first time since the penn state sex abuse scandal broke, we heard from the assistant coach near the center of the investigation. 37-year-old mike mcqueary has been placed on administrative leave now. he told a grand jury that in 2002 he saw former defensive coach jerry sandusky sexually assaulting a boy in a locker room shower. mcqueary spoke with cbs' armen keteyian and says his life has been in a tail spin since the scandal broke. >> describe your emotions right now. >> all over the place, just kind of shaken. >> crazy? >> crazy.
8:11 am
>> you said, what -- >> like a snow globe. >> like a snow globe? >> yes, sir. >> he said he stopped the assault he witnessed not by physically intervening, but by telling others and he said he had discussions with police about the incident. a university spokesperson tells cbs news that no police report was filed. the hunt continues this morning for oscar ortega hernandez. police say he may be a danger to president obama. on friday, police responded to shots fired near the white house and found the suspect's car crashed and abandoned. they found an ak-47 rifle. the secret service found two rounds of ammunition at the white house, one hit an exterior window. so far the two incidents have not been conclusively linked. police say he is mentally ill and has a fixation on the white house. president obama was never in any danger. that's because he's in australia now where he announced the u.s. will expand its military presence in australia beginning next year. the move is seen by many as a
8:12 am
response to china's actions in south asia. tomorrow the president travels to northern australia where apparently things can get a little bit wild, we're told. he's been given crocodile insurance, coverage of $51,000 just in case he's attacked. in the philippines, secretary of state hillary clinton boarded a u.s. navy destroyer signing an agreement calling for multinational talks on competing claims for islands and oil rights in the south china sea. and secretary clinton flew from manila -- to manila from hawaii where she was startled during a photo-op. a hine dancer carrying a torch wearing a blue loincloth ran past, enjoying a little bit of a laugh.,,,,

>> 52 million uninsured, 49 million say they didn't go to a doctor this year simply because of the cost. one medical center in maine is offering a different solution, which is in many ways an old-fashioned payment plan. >> reporter: getting a little sprucing courtesy of debra. she'll spend at least an hour cleaning the theater, time she'll eventually trade for medical care. >> i never imagined that i would be going to the doctor and paying them by raking leaves at someone else's house. >> may i help you? >> i'm here to see the doctor. >> for nearly a decade true north in maine has been offering patients the option of paying with their time. part of its goal, to make care accessible to everyone. for each hour of service patients offer to the community, like debra's afternoon cleaning, they earn an hour. members of the exchange then use those hours to barter for
8:18 am
different services in the community. at true north, two time credit hours equal one doctor visit. >> it's really a brilliant concept. besides just being able to get care using time credits helps our patients to see themselves differently, to see themselves as human beings with valued and valuable skills and services to offer. >> good to see you again. >> good to see you, dr. knight. >> it's empowerment. >> not me going to the hospital saying i can't afford to pay. i need free care. >> reporter: doctors and patients don't directly barter. both must belong to the exchange. it's up to the physician how they use the time credits they receive as payment. >> i've had people come in and fix my radiators in my house. i've had housecleaning work done, things of that nature.
8:19 am
it's kind of a different way of getting paid for my services. >> you're creating a community where people believe time is just as valuable as cash. >> while the community building is undeniable, it's not the only benefit. both doctors and patients say the accessibility is good for their health. >> i find patients are somewhat invested in their health care, they tend to respond better. >> i would have just stopped going to the doctor. i would have stopped seeking care even though i may have needed it, because financially it became more and more of a burden. >> today debra bard says she's healthier and in many ways so is her community. >> the exchanges that i've made with people, no matter what they are, if it's raking leaves or helping organize, there's camaraderie afterwards.
8:20 am
>> when the folks started true north, they decided they would have to agree 10% of the patients could pay -- either get a reduced rate or pay alternatively with something like the system they used with the hours. they don't barter specifically with the doctor. that's why it works. they put it in and pull it out. >> drives the point home, she said at the end of the piece there, it got to the point where i would stop going tore care. you have to think about that. that's tough for a lot of people. still ahead, new rules say if you don't make any money you shouldn't get a credit card. tell you why critics are calling it unfair to stay at home parents. >> announcer: cbs healthwatch sponsored by prevacid 24 hour. uncer: this portion of "the early show" sponsored by he predvacid 24 hours. all day, all night. go to prevacid24hour.com for a $4 coupon. for the give a hand fundraiser. buy a hand and help support

8:32 am
our spending accounts for 70% of our economic growth. one of those cars that is selling right now is the ford escape. it is on track for a record year. more than 200,000 of them have been sold in 2011 and, today, ford is debuting a new model and we got a sneak peek. >> reporter: ford unveils the new model today, but is there a lot more than profitability riding on the launch. so this car is going to be made in louisville, kentucky? >> right. >> reporter: how many jobs are we talking about here? >> well, we are actually putting on two shifts initially, so you're talking about 29, about 2,900 jobs. and then by the end of next year, depending upon demand, we will add another shift, so it's another 1,600 jobs. so it's really a big commitment. >> reporter: in total, ford plans to add 12,000 new jobs in the u.s. over the next four years. but it might come as a surprise where the jobs are coming from. >> a number of those jobs we are bringing them back from china, from mexico, and japan. >> reporter: so are you saying then you're shrinking work
8:33 am
forces overseas and growing the work force here? >> well, we are growing the work force here and, in many cases, we are taking work back from suppliers that we did on the outside so we are able to bring that back into ford, bring it back here into the u.s. >> reporter: and ford is not alone. detroit's big three are all adding jobs this year. sales are up across the board. and the industry is on track to sell more than 13 million cars to u.s. consumers this year. where do you think we are in the overall economic recovery? >> well, clearly, we still face economic challenges. this year, we are seeing growth in the gdp of anywhere between 1.5% and 2%. not as big a growth as we expect coming out of such a deep recession. but it is growth, nonetheless. >> reporter: the worst is behind us? >> well, for the most part, unless there is some big external impact to the economy, we feel we are going to continue to see gradual growth. >> i asked fields what he meant
8:34 am
by "some big external impact to the economy." he said it could be something like, for example that japan earthquake that hit earlier this year, it hit the car industry particularly hard because a lot of the supplies that come from japan to u.s. automakers were disrupted. however, ford, he told me, has put the worst of that behind it and they are still the human toll we think about. >> the car we saw a quick glimpse of is? >> the ford escape. the 2013 version on sale in june of next year and pricizing between 20,000 and 30,000. >> he mentioned in that interview with you and you pressed on him a little bit. moving some jobs back. so is this one for one? how does that work out? that is the question. because they are not being very specific yet on what those jobs could be. but it's an interesting point that ford gets some of its parts that it puts into its cars from foreign suppliers and he was saying that those foreign suppliers, well, we may actually
8:35 am
be able to source the material from u.s. suppliers and also do some of it internally at ford right here in the united states. that would equate to new jobs here in the united states. so it's actually not just ford that is particularly pursuing this trend, but u.s. automakers in general and one reason behind that is that some of the supplies and the work that comes from out of this country is getting more expensive. and the uaw contracts that ford, general motors and chrysler have pursued with the unions here in the u.s., have gotten more affordable to the car companies and, as a result, they can employ, they say, more people here in the united states. >> which would be great news. >> thank you. >> thanks, guys here is jeff glor at the news desk with a final check of today's other headlines for us. good morning again. >> good morning. facebook has issued a warning to users hackers access some accounts apparently leaving graphic images of pornography and violence. facebook official say they are experiencing a coordinated spam attack. some users have unknowingly be

december and january are the biggest months of the year for new credit card applications. >> the but this year, some applicants have a tougher time getting a card. financial contributor carmen wong ulrich is here with us. good to see you. what are the new rules that could limit the number of cards issued. >> the card act went into effect 2009 part of it in effect october 1st. when you apply for a credit card you can't put household income as getting credit. it's individual and personal income only. you can't apply for a card saying someone else in your household makes money to pay the bills. it's what you're earning. >> on the surface that sounds like a great idea. you're not giving credit to
8:39 am
people who can't pay for it but it could have really serious implications. who is most effected? >> especially nonearning spouses. this is stay at home working parents who, in effect, do work and they actually do help. >> very hard. >> very hard to support the household. but they will be dependent on their spouse in order to get a card. they will not be able to get credit cards on their own. of course, this creates a situation that can be potentially damaging, dangerous if the marriage is not a happy one and you need to book a flight, you need to book a car. it creates this crippling dependency on the person in the household who is making the money and students, of course. >> which seems a little odd if the relationship is crumbling you're going to go to see a judge and a judge is going to award you half of the income anyway. >> in that case but, in the meantime, you don't have access to credit. this was all formed to basically stop the proliferation of credit card applications on college campuses. >> right.

>> to stop students. the other people are affected by this are students. so if you're a full-time student, you cannot get access to credit because you do not have earned income. that is the population they were targeting but, unfortunately, it affects other people. >> which makes sense. i remember in college they say put down what your loans are and that could be income. >> wow. for students as well they can't build credit. i know quite a few new england people who have been working full-time for years and cannot get a credit card. >> you need to build that credit. it's essential for buying a home and getting an apartment. what do you do? >> so here is what you can do. you can get a secured card. now of course, this requires some money you put down a cash deposit. from that catch deposit basically that is your credit line. if you manage that well, they will eventually extend you credit on the cash deposit. shop around. go to low cards.com or bank rate.com to build your own credit. you could be an authorized user on someone's account.
8:41 am
you're dependent on someone else credit but it is reported on your credit reports and fico considers it with your score. >> it seems like it would be much easier for what credit card companies can do, they would be able to decide from between getting back to your point before who is a college kid enwho could potentially misuse a credit card or who is a stay at home parent. >> it's interestings for how this plays out. this came into affect october 1st. we have ten community property states in this country basically the earnings are community income and community property so we have to see how it plays out because i don't think it's sustainable. >> i don't get how a credit card can say that is not your income but yet if you're married it is. >> you're living in the house. >> you are probably paying the bills too. >> there you go. trying to make sense of things, you two. >> i'm trying. >> thank you. this morning, we continue our series focusing on the people who represent the american spirit. every day 30 million students order a school lunch and right now, congress is considering throwing out new rules that would make the lunches healthier. >> we talked about that yesterday a little bit.
8:42 am
french fries would be okay. pizza sauce would be considered a vegetable. i visited a lunch lady you may call her, last week in northern california has changed the menu in her town and turns out the students there can't get enough of it. >> do not take that! it's mine! >> last one! last one! >> reporter: salads and soup. freshly made salsa. not exactly your typical school lunch. meals made from scratch without a processed frozen product in sight. >> i just didn't like the canned cal is a. i don't do that at home. that one is perfect. okay, all this needs is the cilantro. >> reporter: when michelle malm took over the california district school program it was $70,000 in the red and the food she saw sickened her. >> prepackaged burritos and prepackaged chicken nuggets and lots of just prepared boxed
8:43 am
food. >> reporter: which was not real high in nutritional value? >> not at all and very expensive. and very expensive. >> reporter: she found her solution in the school's own backyard. lake county is home to 300 family farms. its fertile hills offering easy access to staples like squash and pears. >> this is acorn squash and s spaghetti squash. these are small pumpkins we will be using for pumpkin bread. >> reporter: today, the program is both profitable and nutritious. >> i like the oranges! i like this! i like -- i like everything! >> you like everything? >> i think broccoli is my favorite, my favorite vegetable. >> really? you like that today? >> it's all gone. >> reporter: when you started to make these changes, was there any resistance? >> oh, yeah, i think so. i think it was hard for the kids because there was a lot of junk food out there. >> reporter: do you think the kids are healthier now? >> absolutely, absolutely. >> reporter: do they like your food? >> they love the food, so that's
8:44 am
good. >> reporter: not much left except you're working on this pear here. i'd say you liked your lunch. >> yes. >> reporter: what did you like when it? >> the salsa was very spicy. >> reporter: kelseyville schools is a part of a movement aimed at putting healthy food in schools. >> got you loaded and ready. >> reporter: one of malm's partner is colleen, a third generation farmer. >> beyond that is the walnut orchard. what has been fun is making the connection with the kids as to where their food comes from. so now apples don't come from the shelf in safeway that this is where it comes from. >> got it! >> i got the roots out. >> reporter: the changes malm brought to kelseyville schools extend far beyond their place. at the elementary school, kids tend gardens. when you're hearing growing things in the garden and then you get to try them or you see them at lunch, how does that make you feel? >> it feels good to know you
8:45 am
made that and that you can eat it and it tastes really good. >> reporter: do you think it tastes better because you made it and help grow it? >> reporter: at the high school, they work in the kitchen. what do you like about working here? >> it's going to teach me a lot of self-discipline out in the real world and working now. >> reporter: the response has been so positive, malm created a catering business ran out of the school cafeteria and staffed by the students. >> i did one of it. it was the big band dinner and it was for -- it was actually for our rival school and it was a fund-raiser for their band. >> reporter: funny. the rival school hired you to do their fund-raiser. >> we still made good food for them! >> can i have a salad? please? >> yes, you may. >> reporter: you know all of these kids so when you see someone you used to try to buy a bag of chips, when they get a salad one day and reach for an
8:46 am
apple? >> it excites me because i know they are making that transition. if we can impact those little kids with better, you know, choices, then they are going to, you know, we will see a change up here at the high school because they will have changed. >> what is great is a lot of the kids told us they bring home new vegetables for their family to try at home. she keeps fruit out available free all day long and provides oatmeal for break fast and high unemployment at 16% in lake county so it's important for the kids to have a good meal. >> it's so vital starting the young kids with a good meal. >> they request things all the time. she is a force of nature and incredible woman and brought about positive change. hopefully, maybe some other ideas and other schools will follow suit. up next, elijah wood has happy feet again.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
8:49 am
elijah wood was popular actor by the age of 9 and the past decades he has surprised to entertain us in a variety of roles. >> in "happy tweet two" he lend his voice for the tuxedo penguin mumble. take a look. >> i think he is asking lie down. >> for a reason. don't you? >> yeah. >> but there are plenty of reasons to dance. >> what is mine, pa? >> well, the only way to find out is to try it. come on, son. it's just one big old foot after the other. no one will laugh at you, i promise. come on. on my feet. >> elijah wood joins us this morning. they are so stinkin' cute! >> aren't they?
8:50 am
let it keep playing! >> not all kids will want those baby penguins. >> absolutely. what is your reason for dancing? >> my reason? >> yeah. >> just pure joy of music. i don't know. i don't know that i'm a very good dancer. >> it's okay. you can still dance. you know, sometimes it's better if you don't dance in front of people. my husband would say it's better in my case. >> does he say that to you? that is such an unkind thing to say! >> don't sell yourself short. >> it's better to dance away from people's eyes. >> congratulations on this. >> thank you. >> erica saw it last night and said it is, right? it's not about what we think, it's about what the kids think. >> my 5-year-old gives it two thumbs up. it's cute. the animation is great. it has a really nice message to it about working together. >> it does. >> and different species coming together to help out. >> the ultimate problem in the course of the film where the penguin community that we follow get trapped by an iceberg so
8:51 am
they can't get out. ultimately, all of these communities have to work together at the end in order to get them out. it is beautiful. that idea of people working together for a common goal. >> yeah. >> you know? >> you guys, in terms of an animated movie, you don't always get to -- sometimes you're in a studio by yourself doing the voice. this was totally different. there we have some shots of it. >> excellent. >> all of you guys. >> george! >> pretty big names there. >> matt damon, brad pitt and pink there. >> sophia is there. >> yeah. >> how different is that for you to have everybody in there to really be doing this together as a collaborative effort? >> it makes a huge difference. when you think about doing voice on your home and you're in the context of a scene and you have to react to other characters it takes a little bit of guesswork and you're solely focusing on what you're doing but a scene kind of takes life when you have other people to interact with and sometimes we were literally sharing a mike or physically interacting with each other and
8:52 am
it takes on a life of its own. you don't then have to imagine the scene. it kind of is happening for real. it's wonderful. >> "happy feet one" didn't do very well in the box office. only won the oscar. >> right. >> do you like this? it's been five years since the first one. you like this one as well? have the same type of success? >> it would be fantastic. it's i think a beautiful film. i think it shares some of the same messages as the first film but not a preachy message film. a film that can be enjoyed by awe dul adults and children. >> you have those jack and jill films out there. talk about the hobbit. everybody wants to see that next one. >> i got to go back to new zealand to reprize my role briefly. he is not alive during the time of the hobbit and not 50, 60 years before the rings time so it was a small little cameo. >> awesome. >> we are all looking forward to it and we know you're a foodie
