nominations for kanye west, bruno mars and some snubs for taylor swift and beyonce. we'll have all the big names and the big performances from last night's grammy concert early this thursday morning, december night's grammy concert early this thursday morning, december 1st, 2011. captioning funded by cbs boy, that's something to wake up to. >> stunning. >> it is. >> good thursday morning, everyo everyone. i'm erica hill. >> i'm jeff glor, chris wragge is off this morning. >> we begin this morning in iraq, one month from today all u.s. combat troops will be gone. this after nearly nine years of war. this morning at camp victory in baghdad, the u.s. is handing over control and pausing, too, to remember all the troops that have died in the fighting. >> back in 2003, as u.s. troops invaded iraq. national correspondent jim axle

rod was the first western reporter to get to baghdad airport. he is back in baghdad this morning with the latest. jim, good morning. >> well, good morning. what we're seeing here in baghdad is really the beginning of this long good-bye that you take a couple weeks as the final troop draw down. 13,000 american troops still in iraq and they will begin reducing a number to a zero by the end of december, according to the agreement. we saw ceremony today. we're seeing them all over the country. there was one in basra, for instance, where flags of the united states at installations that are being guarded by u.s. troops are coming down and iraqi flags are going up as the iraqi security forces begin to take charge of security in a lot of places that have been guarded by u.s. troops up to this point. >> jim, in terms of the ceremony this morning, what exactly did we see. what exactly did we not see?

>> we weren't even allowed at the ceremony this morning that involved vice president joe biden. this is very reflective of what's going on the iraqi are taking control of places like camp victory the command for center u.s. troops for all of these years. now under iraqi control. western media actually barred from watching vice president biden deliver a message of friendship and partnership that he was trying to deliver to the iraqi people. western reporters not even allowed in with the exception that he traveled from washington with vice president biden. so, you want to understand what's beginning to happen here in iraq as the iraqis take over. that's why we're broadcasting from this university in baghdad, instead of out of camp victory where the vice president of the united states was earlier. >> clearly, jim, you're already seeing the changes and seeing the iraqis solidify their position. jim alexrod in baghdad, thanks. joining us now, retired army

general james "spider" marks. always good to have you with us. >> thank you very much. >> give us a sense, this morning, jim lay out what has been going on. what happens now from a security perspective. in your estimation, how safe is iraq once u.s. troops leave? >> well, you know, up until the day that the president announced that we would be departing iraq by the end of this month, the u.s. had been working very, very diligently on trying to establish what's known as a status of forces agreement which would have been the single document immunity for soldiers on the ground so that the united states could stay beyond 2011. that failed. so, the decision was made to leave. so, i think the point is that iraq has made some incredible advances in terms of their security forces and their military forces trying to secure their borders. but there are still a lot of

sectarian-type violence and bad actors in iraq. the u.s. has always provided a real glue over the course of these last couple of years to the iraqi forces, both military and security so that they can stand up and get more mature and be ready to take on these challenges. my point is, iraq is still a dangerous place. iraq is in a very good, is in very good shape moving forward, but the u.s., bear in mind, the u.s. is still going to be very, very close. there will still be a u.s. presence in kuwait, which is just south of the border with iraq. >> there was talk yesterday from the iraqi prime minister of the u.s. still having a role in training iraqi forces. it would happen outside of iraq. you mention the u.s. as glue. but for the american people, there was a lot of debate over the way that this was worked out. is there still going to be enough support in this country to support those efforts which are supporting iraq? >> well, you know, i can't speak

to domestic politics, but i can tell you that the united states has a friend in iraq, although iraq didn't treat us like a friend. we could have walked into this discussion about a status of forces agreement and come out with a different conclusion. and the fact that the prime minister is asking or at least has put on the table the possibility that the u.s. could continue to do training for iraqi forces indicates they understand how we can provide real value going forward. but these are, these are discussions that are going to take place to developments in iraq. >> let me ask you, in terms of taking this u.s. military presence, though, out of iraq, what is the u.s. walking away from strategically in the region? >> oh, it's phenomenal. iraq has oil, iraq has an extremely educated workforce. it has a history, it has a magnificent future. it now has a burgeoning and growing military. and it is a democracy in the middle of the middle east. you don't see many of those. so, frankly, if you were to

compare what we were doing in iraq to what we were doing in afghanistan, we're going to stay in afghanistan until 2014. we have more to lose in iraq than we do in afghanistan. >> quite an assessment, spider marks, good to have you with us. >> thank you very much. moving from iraq now to wall street. on wen, you may have seen stocks scoring not just big gains, but their biggest one-day gain of the year. >> the rally continues after the dow jones industrials soared 490 points. here to tell us what it means is business and economics correspondent rebecca jarvis. rebecca, good morning. >> good morning. >> we've seen rallies before, this is the biggest one. we've seen these rallies before. is this one different? >> it's different because of the underlying reason behind it. we've talked a lot here about the european crisis. the fact that europe's problems are overflowing into our stock market. well, yesterday came the news that a number of central banks led by the federal reserve here in the united states are going to be lending to europe's

central bank. now, what does that mean? europe central bank sends funds out to the banks of europe. the banks of europe are in crisis right now because european countries are in crisis right now. and we want those banks to function properly, that's what allows for a globalized economic system to function properly. that is why the fed is lending right now to the european central bank. >> when you spell it out like that, i would imagine that is not going to sit well with a lot of americans. we have seen a similar thing play out before. jeff and i were talking about it before, in a lot of ways, this is like a band aid. >> not only a band aid. some people will look at it as another bailout. a bailout of the banks themselves. there are risks involved here and there are certainly issues down the road that could come out of this. for example, inflation. when our federal reserve gives money to the european central bank, that means that they are printing more dollars. that could lead to higher invasion.

higher inflation can then lead down the road to higher taxes. those aren't two outcomes but the argument is being made right now that the entire financial system just like we heard the same argument back in 2008 in our financial crisis, the argument is being made that this must be done. >> where does the dow go now? also, we have some other good news. >> we did get some other good news as far as jobs in the united states. the biggest pending home sales boost of the year and also business activity is bouncing back. however, i just want to make the point, you said this, band aid. this is a short-term solution for the banks of europe. the underlying countries in europe like italy and greece, the european union still has to deal with those countries and that's what the market is waiting for. >> for now the dow continues its ups and downs, we think. >> volatility is here to stay. >> thank you. >> thanks, guys. turning now to campaign 2012. herman cain holding a late-night news conference in which he accused his critics of character assassination.

>> he also said he needs to speak with his wife about staying in the race. jan crawford is in ohio with the latest on this. jan, good morning. >> he is reevaluating his campaign after an atlanta woman said they had a 13-year affair. some people say that is a blow to his campaign, but in ohio he was not sounding like a candidate that was thinking about quitting and still drawing big crowds. telling new hampshire supporters not to give up. herman cain channeled legendary baseball player yoga barra. he admitted since the latest allegations were leveled against him, his fund-raising has fallen off and he must decide what to do with his campaign. >> i have told people that over the next several days, i and my team, but particularly with my family, we're going through a reassessment. >> we woant cain! >> reporter: but in ohio he

didn't look like a candidate on the ropes. >> obama might raise a millibil dollars, but the american people will raise some cain in 2012. >> reporter: cain held strong and struck a defiant tone. >> the establishment does not want herman cain to get this nomination. the liberals do not want herman cain to get this nomination, but i happen to believe that the american people have a different idea about who all are getting this nomination. >> those people include supporters like veterinarian linda truman. >> i think he's telling the truth. i think he's a godly man and he's telling the truth. he's a leader and i love that in him. >> reporter: retiree dave tuckerman echoing sentiments of others blaming the media and political establishment. >> they are going to try to destroy the man. >> reporter: but, cain, once a frontrunner has slipped in polls since reports he sexually harassed two women in the 1990s.

the man who benefitted most from that slip, newt gingrich. now at the top of the republican heap and battling with mitt romney. gingrich and romney really started to mix it up. romney called gingrich about the worst thing that you could say about someone. that he was a lifetime politician. gingrich answered back that he was a lifetime citizen that he was proud of the work that he had done to understand what makes america successful. with the iowa caucuses just over a month away, you can expect to hear a lot more of this going forward. jan crawford, cbs news, columbus, ohio. >> we're going to talk about that and more now with our political director john dickerson. good morning to you. >> good morning, jeff. >> let's talk herman cain first. how long does the campaign survive if it survives? >> well, it's a very, very tough hill here for him to climb. the big worry for the cain campaign is money. can they keep the lights on and that's what he is assessing to do well in iowa. cost money to keep that

organization going. so, it looks like it's day-by-day for cain and also what is at stake here, if he is thinking about leaving the race, what is his exit narrative. you can see him talking there about being attacked by the establishment and by liberals so that if he does have to drop out of the race, he could have a future career saying i tried to tell the truth, but the establishment and the liberals just came after me. >> john, you mentioned iowa. mitt romney wasn't going to play there at all after it tripped up his bid in 2008. he has the first ad out there. the blitz for romney. >> a bit of an open secret that romney is trying to run in iowa, but sort of under the radar. at the end of the campaign, he would kind of rush in there and maybe try to even steal a victory in iowa, but never wanting to look like he was running too hard for fear of meeting expectations. that would be a problem for him. well, he has been sending out direct mail pieces to voters and

now he has this ad and chris christie will be out in iowa for him next week. the latest polls in iowa have it as a four-way race between gingrich, romney, cain and paul and now we'll see if romney can make his case in iowa. >> does the romney campaign go after gingrich? >> yes, we heard in jan's piece a little bit of romney is saying that, you know, talking about gingrich as a career politician and the message of his ad is i was in the economy as a businessman and i know how to fix the economy. that is the contrast that he will make. he lived in the real world with the real economy and gingrich is a creature of washington and the establishment and they will make that a little bit gentry for the moment, hoping that gingrich's long history will be what ends up making him fall. >> meanwhile, speaking of going after newt gingrich, how about ron paul who has a new ad out, as well? >> ron paul, who is doing well in iowa takes the wood to newt gingrich going over his various flip-flops and the challenging him as a true conservative, this

is what mitt romney hopes to happen. ron paul will go after gingrich and rick santorum has challenged gingrich and michele bachmann has been beating him up on immigration. romney hopes he will do all the work for him. the challenge for gingrich is to say, i may have had some positions you don't agree with, but a consistent conservative fighting for principles in the republican party for my whole career and that's the most important thing. >> ron paul calling newt gingrich a hypocrite. john dickerson, thanks very much. >> yes, i think it will be very interesting. >> those are fighting words. >> yes, looking forward to it. terrell brown over at the news desk with a check of your headlines at 15 minutes past the hour. good morning. >> good morning to you both. great to see you guys. secretary hillary clinton is at a news conference. she said the u.s. will consider easing sanctions on the long,

isolated country if it makes concrete moves towards reform. wyattand drews is there. meeting burma's elected president in a presidential palace large enough to dwarf the white house. to improve relations with the u.s., the secretary called for elections unimpeded by the army and an end to burma's military ties to north korea. high on the list of what the u.s. wants next from berma is the release of prisoners. they complain they're all criminals but secretary clinton said more than 1,000 people are being wrongly detained. it has released some 200 prisoners. it's allowing limited press freedoms and has cleared opposition leader sue chi to run for office.

good morning. chp has wrapped up a fatal accident investigation westbound 580 before the santa rita road exit. traffic was squeezing by in one lane for a while. all lanes are back open. but check out this backup. we still have a really long

line of slow traffic. it looks like we're still seeing about hour-long delays across this stretch. within the last 15 minutes all lane were opened so hopefully we'll see some improvement soon. in the meantime it is a windy commute. be extra care: we have seen numerous accidents including one northbound 880 at high street just north of the coliseum. that is now cleared from lanes. but it is still slow from san leandro. and southbound 880 at a street new accident popping up involving a big rig and it looks like a couple lanes are block there, slow past the accident towards 92. here's lawrence with the forecast. >> a lot of sunshine around the bay area right now, the fog long gone, the winds have kicked in and really whipping up but cleared out the skies. you can see forever out there this morning. looks like it will be windy all day especially in the mountaintops above 1,000 feet. high wind warnings in the mountains, not as windy around the bay area. winds calm down toward tomorrow.

more sunshine a little breezy over the weekend. ,,,,,,,,

♪ look at. the leaves still on the trees on december 1st. >> how did that happen? >> i don't know. we should investigate. welcome back to "the early show." i'm chris wragge along with erica hill. one area of life that seemed to be off limits to many gangs is organized sports. >> a new investigation finds a growing connection between gangs and sports with athletes getting caught up in senseless gang violence at times. our chief investigative

correspondent armen keteyian has one example. >> and you are? you are what? >> he was a special kid, even when he was little. danny had a heart of god. >> reporter: danny farber was a popular, positive force. he dreamed of one day playing for usc. >> he wanted to live life and not really be fearful. >> reporter: so it was on memorial day weekend, 2009, that farber sat down to dinner at this compton food restaurant. with surveillance cameras running a young guy approached dannie. >> he walked straight up to the table and say, where are you from, cuz? >> reporter: what does that mean in this day and age? >> it means he was a gang

banger. dannie stood up and said, what? that's when he started shooting. >> reporter: when it was over farber was shot three times, collapsing as he stumbled to the door. >> i lifted up his shirt and didn't know what to do. i saw the bullet hole in the middle of his chest. and i knew he was going to die. >> reporter: after an eighth-month investigation arlen watson was arrested, a known member of the crypts on first-degree murder charges. farber was mistaken by watson for a rival gang member, breaking a mother and step-father's heart. >> i just can't believe this. i can't believe this. that's all i was saying. this has to be a nightmare. this is a nightmare. >> it just seems like everything -- your whole world comes to an end. >> reporter: in the end farber was an innocent victim at the intersection of gangs and sports. a play sergeant brandon dean, a supervisor in the l.a. sheriff's department gang unit lives

almost every day. >> a lot of times what happens with the athletes is they get automatically lumped in with wherever they grew up. a lot of times unfortunately they are the victims of crimes whether it be shootings or being robbed. >> reporter: this professor at arizona state university is co-author of a study on gang members in major college sports. >> gang membership in division i athletics is a significant problem. the kind of crimes the gang members are most likely involved in are the kinds of crimes that aught to concern athletic directors, police chiefs, university presidents and coaches. >> reporter: the study was based on a survey of 130 top athletic programs. while the vast majority of college athletes are not involved in gangs, it found that nearly 20% of the 87 campus police chiefs who responded reported direct knowledge of a student athlete who retained gang membership while at the

university. >> it's a recognition that says we need to pay attention to the problem more system atticly so it does not get out of control. >> reporter: as part of the special report in this week's "sports illustrated," cbs news went to compton, california. the birthplace of hundreds of recruits over the years. and today more than 34 active gangs totaling more than 1,000 members. if you want to get away from that pull, how hard is it to remove yourself? >> extremely hard. it is extremely hard. >> there we go, good job. >> reporter: dominion high's football coach keith donnerson counters the lure of the street. >> we try to let the kids know, you have to pick a side. you are going to play football or be a gangster. >> reporter: he focuses his players on family and football. >> even gangs are considered their own family. so we try to create a family-type atmosphere here. kids that come from a good family, we are just the extended family. kids that don't have a family,

we are actually their family. >> reporter: yet sometimes despite two protective parents you simply find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time. like dannie farber. his senseless killer is a stark reminder of the influence of gangs. danger more than ever universities do not want to see. armen keteyian, reporting from california. >> they are making sure that this does not happen to any other children, especially their sown being recruited bay dozen elite schools. they join us this morning. good to have you with us this morning. give me a sense, you actually knew dannie farber. what's the pressure on you as an athlete to be involved in a

gang? >> the pressure for me is very hard. very hard because everybody wants you to be a part of their gang and stuff because you're a big-time athlete and stuff. so they want you to be a part of the gang. it is very hard, basically. >> i would imagine there's a little bit of fear on your part in doing everything you can to stay out of that because could that make you a target? >> yes, because if i turn a gang down, they are basically -- like they are going to pursue me. >> it's a scary thought for any parent. donietta, you and your husband have worked so hard to make sure you have the strong family unit that the coach was talking at and this is not a family to be messed with. how do you send that message? >> well, we just stay together as a family. everything that we do -- when you speak of him, you speak of more than just one person. and my husband is known by his

last name in every naked we go into, neighborhood we go into. when we get to a neighborhood we have moved into, we let them know who we are and who our children are. and if you mess with one, then you have the mother and the father there. and we always try to deal with it in the right way. but if it is a violent situation that may be taking place, then we just try and make sure that we steer away from that. if it is something we thought we can't handle, then we have to go to the authorities. but most of the time it just takes somebody having the courage to talk and let them know that this is going to change your life and mine if you keep going in this direction. >> such an important point, so many lives are affected by this. you have a unique perspective. you were in a good and once a blood, you got out. that's not an easy thing to do. what brought you to that decision? >> what brought me decision to leave is my family.

i wanted to be a better person, a better father. i wanted to be around to raise my children. and i also know having a father in the home is very important. that would be one of the main reasons why my son will be able to succeed, because he has two parents at home. with having the experience of being in a gang, i'm able to instruct him and lit hem know exactly how things operate within most gangs. most gangs operate pretty much the same. the difference in them being in just a different neighborhood or a different color, but the overall rules still apply. with it being so hard to exit the game, the easiest part for me was to simply move myself out of the situation. again, just stay with my family, you know, stop hanging out, stop hanging with the same crowd.

>> sure. and to have that courage that your wife spoke about. before we let you go, you have this incredible offer for you, that you have earned both on the field and in the classroom. as you prepare to finish your senior year to move on, are you concerned at all about what happens when you leave your school? >> yes. right now -- i want to go to a big name school and a good football team. i just want to be a part of something new. >> you're well on your way with quite a support system behind you. kitam, donnyetta, and kitam jr., thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you. >> how about that support system? how impressive is that? you make the choice, the gang or my family? i'm going with my family. >> me too. terrell brown is here with more news at the news desk. good morning to you. >> good morning to you. just outside of baghdad vice

we still have we still have a month to go, it is december 1st, but an active news year to say the least. lots of important and not so important stories capturing our attention. >> well, actually, it is important. yahoo! is out with the list of the top ten online searches for the year, so here to reveal them is heather tappan. nice to have you back with us. >> thank you. >> the lists are fascinating to get a glimpse of what people are after. at numbers ten and nine, very important news events. >> sure. it is significant because we don't typically have a lot in the top ten lists. this is the first year we had three news stories. at number ten, osama bin laden. the death of bin laden broke late at night and a lot of people didn't know what was going on until monday morning. that's a big reason why this ended up on the top ten list. as soon as people heard the news they wanted to know the details, see the photos, and the details

of the story were also a surprise. people sort of thought he would have been caught in a cave somewhere and yet here he was in this home in pakistan, a compound near a military base. >> and the way it trickled out sparked interest as well. one detail one day, a little bit the next day, some of it conflicted -- that kept it up there. >> exactly. that's why it was at number ten. number nine, the japan earthquake. another huge story this year. i think what's interesting about the japan earthquake was the fact that people really wanted to see the photos and the video. you know, last year you may remember the bp oil spill was number one on the list. it was the same kind of a thing where as the story unfolded people turned to their computers and phones to look at the images of what was going on there. so we saw a lot of searches for those kinds of things. >> we have a list of some mega celebrities here that follow that. >> celebrities always make the list. jennifer aniston, first time on

the top ten list at number eight. >> really? >> yes, even after the hairdo. and her hair is one of the most searched things on yahoo!. that's why she's in this list. but also she had a couple movies out there this year, a new boyfriend. american idol is a mainstay on the top ten and has been on the list since it has been compiled. and lindsay lohan, not a surprise. we always see spikes in interest for her whenever she's in court. she was in court a lot this year, so we saw a lot of that. and jennifer lopez first time on the top ten list. she was on american idol and she got divorced. >> she had personal drama. >> and she was the most beautiful person in the world issued by "people" magazine. >> katy perry at four, kim kardashian at three, casey anthony at number two, and the number one overall search on yahoo! in 2011 is -- >> the iphone.

the iphone, yes. think of it this way. it has become a lifestyle. it transcended into gadget status and is the most desirable piece of technology people want. and the fact that earlier this year you could now access this device from any wireless carrier. we saw tons of searches first for sprint and iphone verizon, that whole market when that opened up, we saw lots of people wanting to sign up. a practical way to get an iphone. >> and to get the yahoo! app. >> it is not the number one product on the list. >> it is not. the sony playstation 2 was number one back in 2002. just ahead, a little something funny is happening in washington. >> even for a good cause. serious people can tell a joke or two. we'll tell you who the king of comedy is in the nation's capital coming up. you are watching "the early show." you're w g "the early show" on cbs. look at grover norquist up on stage there.

here are some of the jokes that the politicians made that usually stay behind the scenes. >> it's a great cause and a great way to raise money having people fake money of themselves and laugh at each other. kind of, you know, it happens at the improv states here, i hope. >> here it is. here it is. what did the mother bullet say to the father bull sunset let's have a bebe! come on, let's have a bebe, right? nice clean fun. when you get married things change, you experience new things like abstinence. >> who would have thought newt gingrich's campaign would last longer than the kim kardashian marriage? anybody? >> i think the clear winner of the debates has been the faces ron paul makes. they have been truly, truly outstanding. if there is a close equal, it

would be the looks of consternation and utter contempt that newt gingrich has for his rival. >> he promises a million new jobs if we pass the bill. and at least 50 of them would be in the u.s. >> like all of you, i've been watching the republican primaries or i like to call them the race to beat or be marco rubio's running mate. >> that's like me saying i'm going to reassess my hairline. dude, it is not coming back, ever. ever. >> that was funny. >> i will say, whatever you think of it, it is one of the most -- it can be one of the most terrifying, challenging things to get on the stage. >> you have done this? >> no, but i have seen other people do this. i give them full credit. >> yes. >> one of our producers is an aspiring standup.

>> funny. >> he is. very funny. >> the winner was,,,, state farm. this is jessica. hey, jessica, jerry neumann with a policy question. jerry, how are you doing? fine, i just got a little fender bender. oh, jerry, i'm so sorry. i would love to help but remember, you dropped us last month. yeah, you know it's funny. it only took 15 minutes to sign up for that new auto insurance company but it's taken a lot longer to hear back. is your car up a pole again?

c-net.com is here. >> it used to be simple you buy your music and own it and now so many things you can do. >> there are essentially three categories here, right? >> yeah. first, start with what we know. you go to itunes. you buy your song. and that involved going into amazon to buy your song and now you can go to google music and buy your song and you don't have to save it on your computer and save it on google's computer and access it from any computer. let's move on to the music you don't own. streaming radio like pandora. it is one of many that are gaining popularity where you just basically create a station, kind accustomed to you. let's say you like the beach boys. pandora will make a personalized station that likes the beach boys and whatever artist you say like. now, it basically you have no control over what is being played it's just giving you what you like.

>> pandora. but also spottive continues to get a lot of attention here. >> yes, it has blown up because it got linked with facebook recently so seeing more of it. think of it as a netflix for music. you don't own the songs but you can tap into millions of songs for free and pay them any time. you're the deejay and you pick what songs. >> you have to pick each individual one or it -- >> you go in and get an album. looks like it's stored on your phone or your mobile device but you don't own is so you can't burn the songs. can you stream them and listen to them whenever you want. >> exactly. you can tap into them. a free model you can only tap into it if you're at a desktop and laptop and you have to put up with advertising but if you pay you can get rid of the limitations and ads and take it to your mobile phone. >> how much is spotiff?

>> you have to link it to your facebook account now? >> yes. the thing about facebook you can see what your friends are listening to. we used to comb through our friends cd collections and now clicking on their names and seeing what they are listening to. >> how does it change the rest of the digital music services? >> it raises the bar and makes things more fun. the other day they made an announcement they have apps essentially and made other people be able to create apps so let's say you're rocking out to beyonce's song. now you can go to rolling stone app and say, well, what do they think about the beyonce album or go to a lyrics app and see what is being played and what the words are to the song so you have no more excuses you don't know what the words to the song are. >> you're paying $1.20 for itunes song. >> not that you wouldn't pay that? >> see, this is good for people

who are tired of paying for every song. maybe every month you want to pay a fee to access as much as you want. >> bridget carey, thanks. >> good to be here. one group online is millilineals are more likely to be influenced by people they don't think when buying things. >> we asked some young consumers whose advice do they rely on more? the anonymous online views or their friends like mom and dad. >> i like to look at the reviews and i do trust my parents' comments as much. >> you always listen to your mother but at the same time, when i'm clicking through and scrolling through reviews, i mean, you have to take, you know, a general, you know, consensus into account. >> well, the reviews i'd have to say a lot more are updated rather than your parents because, you know, they were a different generation. >> you want to make sure you have something that is a good quality. i don't think people would lie about that, online especially because it's anonymous and who

cares? friends. i tend not to listen to reviews. >> i probably put out a status message in my facebook asking friends who have -- who have actually purchased and for them to tell me what is it like? >> a combination of all of them. i mean, there is nothing better than getting a lot of feedback from different things, especially if it's a big purchase. it could be anything. >> here to tell us what makes this new generation of consumers tick is jason dorsey, the author of "y-size your business." thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having me. >> we heard some of the people there. some of the things are coming out from this bizarre voice poll, the purchase influence. the people that we trust the most and it's broken down into categories. mainly family and friends take the edge here. they trust them more than the random people online. >> yeah. but what the study show that was so powerful is that 44% of millenials trust unknown consumers more than family or friends and that got a lot of attention because we weren't expecting that. people we don't know who just posted something online, yeah!

that's the one we trust! >> amazing the one woman we spoke to said, well, yeah, i mean, nobody would lie online because they are anonymous. i look at that and say how do i know the company is not putting them up there to put in a good review? >> the good news is people do lie online. we know that. >> no! come on! >> you mean it's not true? >> i'm 6'4" online. they are looking for the number of reviews and quality of the reviews. we think if we see enough of them there is accuracy and truth, right? >> which i think some of that is true. >> oh, my gosh, companies say we didn't get five stars. if you got all five stars, we think it's fake! we need to see some negatives and that gives you a chance to respond and turn into a positive. >> so we not only trust people -- if we are reading this wide range reviews, we trust them and it affects our purchases. >> absolutely. if you do it right it gets us to make a comment as well. oh, this is great. i'd change this next time.

companies are using those reviews to innovate and taking responses from consumers and coming up with new products and services which is powerful. >> new products and services you think that would fall into the social media category. interesting the study found people aren't likely to seek opinions from the social media despite the one guy say i would put an ad out on facebook. why are we so reluctant? >> the study says 22% of millinials go to the internet. there is a difference the younger you get. >> sure. >> but still social has a free for all. it's like is this all legit? we feel a sense of authority if somebody put it on a site that is run by a company and they have a chance to respond. there is the idea it is more true. you go on facebook and you see all sinds of stukinds of stuff. >> who knew. >> the younger you go, we didn't include it in this service the more validity social has because

it's more normal. think about it you're in a store and looking at a tv and going i want to buy that tv. we are not going turn to the person next to us and say what do you this think about this tv? no way! what do you do? you take out your phobe and go -- phone and read the reviews. >> now i realize i've done that. very interesting! >> jason, thanks so much. secretary of state hillary clinton is in the long isolated nation of burma and pressing for democratic reforms after meeting with the country's president. clinton says u.s. is willing to lift economic and other sanctions as burma moves forward. >> any steps that the government takes will be carefully considered and will be, as i said, matched because we want to

be, right? >> absolutely. >> because first season was fantastic. it's a great character you get to play because there are so many different layers. like most working mothers, you know, can see themselves in it. it must be fun for is an as actor as well to splor aexplore these each week. >> we all have so many different layers. this year i think they are able to talk about it more. >> tom selleck, how is he doing? >> he's doing good. >> good? >> yeah. >> what is the number one question you get? what is it like to work with tom selleck? >> that and what about his mustache? >> epic legendary mustache! arguably the most famous mustache in the world. >> it is. it could never go anywhere. >> we want to talk about the charity that you're working with as well because we both think this is such a great cause. >> the hole in the wall gang.

it was started by paul newman in 1988 and at that time they were serving 2 8 children and this year they will reach about 20,000 through the camp and the year-round programs and the outreach programs. >> for people aren't familiar with the hole in the wall gang camp, give us a sense. who are the kids that get this opportunity? >> they are kids who have different kind of illnesses from cancer to sickle cell, met bolick disease and get to sense the freedom from their sickness or however long they are there and just be a kid again. it's all free of charge. they provide these services to these kids free of charge and what is great about the camp is they also service the siblings and the parents which is, i think, unique. this kind of illness affects

everybody and sometimes you feel so alone on what to do or how you're going through things and your peers can't understand, but people when are going through the similar thing are able to support you and so they really -- they handle the whole -- >> we saw a picture there. you've been volunteering too. >> i have. i went up to the camp' got to hang out with some of the kids and meet some of the parents and climb a rock wall. >> so you got to go back and be a kid in the camp too. >> i did. this boy here was so fantastic. he actually had one leg and he pulled himself up the wall just from his arms and got all the way up there and did the zip line and there was just a wide range of kids who were going through so many challenges in their own life. then they were pushing themselves and each other even farther and so you just kind of jump in and become part of the energy and the vibe.

>> it's quite an experience. it brings home a lot of lessons you want to share with your son and just makes you think about the way you do things and talk about things. >> yeah. it's a win/win for everybody. so great if people could get more involved and you can go to hole in the wall gang.org and they have a lot of opportunities on how you can participate. >> great organization. nice to have you here. >> good luck with your little guy as well. >> thanks. >> see you soon, bridget. >> thanks. >> se[ male announcer ]t. for andy, tracking his spending with citibank is as easy as... making breakfast. omelet? sure. scrambled eggs.

[ male announcer ] online bill pay. easier banking. standard at citibank. the nominations for this year's grammy awards are in and leading the pack with seven of them is kanye west, including song of the year. >> there were a few surprising snubs, though. correspondent lee cowan has the list and announced at last night's live concert.

♪ >> reporter: one night, one hour. this year's grammy galaxy was an ek electic mix from lady gaga to the bold moves of rihanna. both in the running for the best album of the year. ♪ >> reporter: but it was kanye west who got the most nods, seven in all. ♪ >> reporter: followed closely by bruno mars, the foo fighters and british sensation adele. ♪ we could have had it >> reporter: there no winners last night but a chance for those nominated to remind the recording academy they have made up but a chance to remember past artists. ♪ when the night has come >> reporter: like niche ashford

and jerry lieber and a cast carrying tribute led by usher. ♪ >> reporter: but beyond those who were nominated, there were those who didn't make the top list. neither taylor swift who won last year, nor tony bennett, who was the oldest person to ever hit number one this year, made the cut for best album. whatever suspense was built up will have to wait until february when the winners of the 54th grammy awards are officially announced. ♪ in the corner of the bar with my high heels on ♪ >> reporter: lee cowan, cbs news, los angeles. >> joe levy is here with his grammy nomination predictions. today the big reveal. how did joe do? >> i did good. >> not too bad. i didn't take too many risks. i went with adele and a safe bet.

she got plenty of nominations in the major category. >> she did. six of them. how do you think she will do, though, on grammy night? >> i think great. did you hear the cheers in the room last night when they announced her nominations? everyone is pulling for her. she's got this great story, not only as the album about heartbreak and getting over it but now she has had vocal surgery. the big story is she going to be able to sing at the grammys and voters are going to be thinking about that leading up to this. >> she she will be there regardless, just a question of whether she sings or not? >> that's right. whether she has recovered enough to sing at that point. >> bruno mars, six. surprised? >> very happy to see bruno mars get six nominations. i am surprised he got six. i'm not surprised he got multiple nominations. he is a multiple threat. he's a great singer and great song writer and great producer and last year nominated for work he did for celo and others. >> he had like seven nominations last year? >> i'm not sure seven but he was up there. >> he is how old? >> 26. >> 26 years old.

>> goodness! goodness! >> there were also -- we can't forget kanye west who leads the pack with seven nominations. >> the story there he has two albums that are eligible. his own and with jay-z the big chatter why didn't he get record of the album of the year nomination. some voted for both. >> has he said anything about not getting that nomination? >> i think he's a little too smart to jump on it right now. plenty of him to type on twitter and tell us what he thinks ich we like bon iver? >> he is a folk artist with a lot of atmosphere and backdrop. song of the year? record of the year? he has six nominations and three in the major categories.

he collaborated with conyea so there is kanye's touch yet again. >> one could argue his previous album was better than -- >> i would argue that. i think we both agree the previous bon iver -- his second album. grammys are always doing stuff stuff like that. >> they are up? ing a few people, too. tony bennett as we mentioned. because he has been around a while? >> i think a major story this year is that there are no old guys in the big category. paul simon had a good record and tony bennett had a record that hit number one. none of the major categories for them. taylor swift has three grammy but none in the major categories. you don't have to be old to be snubbed by the grammys. >> that seemed like maybe the biggest surprise of all of the tight. >> especially after her recent wins in the last couple of weeks. >> all i can think maybe there is a little bit of taylor fatigue. she has won so much, maybe they are just ready to take a pause,

a taylor pause. >> she is, what, 21? >> yeah. >> speaking of the young ,,,,,,,
