captioning funded by cbs good mornings to our viewers in the west, it is friday, january 27th, 2012. welcome to studio 57 at the cbs broadcast center. i'm charlie rose. mitt romney and newt gingrich go at each other. latest florida debate. bob schieffer will break down the field. this too, hillary clinton says, she's ready for a rest after 20 years. >> i'm gayle king. is it really dangerous to keep your electronic devices on during takeoff and landing. when i see you at 8:00, the master of music calls himself, andrew lloyd weber is here. >> i'm erica hill, as jessica buchanan is reunited with her parents, we'll talk to them. >> we begin a look at today's eye opener, your world in 90 seconds.

>> mr. speaker, i'm not anti-immigrant. my father was born in mexico. my wife's father was born in whales, the idea that i'm anti-immigrant is repulsive. >> reporter: mitt romney and newt gingrich battle over immigration and personal finance. >> maybe governor romney should tell us how much money he's made off of how many households that have been foreclosed by his business. >> what is left to know about these candidates? is one of them going to confess to a murder? >> i don't think we should go to the moon. i think we should send some politicians up there. >> and that's why i'm going to make ron paul my first ambassador to moonlandia. >> i would expect him to be the next albert einstein, not a bomber. >> utah students in custody after an alleged plot to bomb their own school. >> there was preparation that we know started months ago. >> reporter: if president obama wins re-election, he may very well have to find a new

secretary of state. >> after 20 years, it would be probably a good idea to just find out how tired i am. >> twitter can now sensor messages on a country by country basis. >> michael jackson's three kids helped immortalize their father in hollywood. >> a pony was on loose and on the run in a res dengs al neighborhood. >> all that. and all that matters. >> how can i handle work on a day like today? >> on "cbs this morning." >> have you ever done "wheel of fortune" a little bit drunk. >> we would go across and have two or three or six. >> was the show or better or worse? >> like heaven on earth. welcome to "cbs this morning." we begin with the final republican debate before the all

important florida primary. last night's event may have been the most substantive of all of them. >> definitely heard a lot from the candidates. political correspondent jan crawford is here to break it all down for us. >> good morning, guys. good morning to the west coast. everyone thought this was going to be some death match between romney and gingrich last night. there were some parts. the interesting thing about the debate is all the other candidates on the stage really brought their a game. >> reporter: moments after they took the stage the expected fireworks between romney and gingrich went off. >> maybe governor romney in the spirit of openness should tell us how much money he's made off of how many households that have been foreclosed by his investments? let's be clear about that. >> mr. speaker, i know that sounds like an enormous revelation? >> reporter: the two front-runners immediately sparred over the government mortgage giant freddie mac. gingrich has done work for the company but he said romney at one point had investments in t.

romney said the former speaker did too. >> you also have investments from mutual funds that also invest in fannie mae and freddie mac. >> reporter: texas congressman ron paul spoke for many when he said. >> that subject doesn't interest me a whole lot. . the question is what are we going to do about fannie mae and freddie mac. it should have been auctioned off right after the crash came. >> reporter: former pennsylvania senator rick santorum hammered the point home. >> can we set aside that newt was a member of congress and used the skills that he developed as a member of congress to go out and advise companies and that's not the worst thing in the world and that mitt romney is a wealthy guy because he worked hard and he's going out and working hard and you should leave that alone and focus on the issues. >> reporter: on many of the issues there aren't a will the of differences except on this question and, yes, this came up, exploring the moon. >> i'll tell you, i do not want to be the country having gotten to the moon first turned around and said, it doesn't really matter. let the chinese dominate space. what do we care? >> i spent 25 years in business.

if i had a business executive come to maine and say they wanted to spend a few hundred billion dollars to put a colony on the moon, i'd say, you're fired. >> reporter: romney owned that phrase last night and he also was blunt about his wealth. >> i'm proud of being successful. i'm proud of being in the free enterprise system that creates jobs for other people. i'm not going to run from that. >> reporter: now this was the 19th debate, and it was one of the best. maybe it takes 19 of them to get it right. all those candidates did a nice job explaining their positions on the issues, how they're different from one another. that was not good news for newt gingrich. he really needed a standout performance here to show that he alone could best take on barack obama and he did not have that. >> so what does he do now, jan? what does the gingrich campaign do between now and election to regain some of that surge, momentum they thought they had coming out of florida? >> reporter: well, that's right. voting here is only four days away, that's why he really needed that strong performance last night to keep that momentum going. it's going to be a bigger

challenge. we're seeing him starting to slip in those polls. when he gets out on the stump he's going to have to do what he's been doing all week, that is firing up these crowds, turning out the base. i think you're going to see him do that throughout the weekend. they have an event in miami today. that will be pivotal. key to hispanic community. early in the weekend he'll be in the panhandle. a big challenge ahead. >> thank you very much, jan crawford. >> this morning secretary of state hillary clinton says she is ready to leave politics. despite those rumors that she might replace joe biden as president obama's running mate. we're in washington where secretary clinton spoke openly. >> absolutely. erica, good morning to you. secretary clinton made the remarks at a state department town hall. this isn't the first time she's talked about stepping away from politics, but with every question she answers about her future, more questions seem to follow. >> reporter: two decades as one of the most recognizable faces of the democratic party may have

finally caught up to the sent of state. >> it would be probably a good idea to just find out how tired i am. >> reporter: she also claimed that political fatigue has kept her from watching any republican debates. still, she says she's committed to her current position. >> i have made it clear that i will certainly stay on until the president nominates someone and that transition can occur. >> reporter: but speculation that perhaps clinton and vice president joe biden will swap jobs continues to swirl albeit with minimal sourcing. so it's not impossible says bill clinton's former labor secretary robert reich. >> it would be good for the president, the party. >> reporter: clinton and biden have rejected the idea. >> i have absolutely no interest and no reason for doing anything other than just dismissing these stories and moving on. >> hillary likes her job where

she s. i like my job where i am. >> reporter: clinton's close friends call it highly unlikely. >> i know her for 40 years, that's what i know, and i know that when she says something, she means it. and i know that she's had a great time as secretary of state. and i know that she wants to be with chelsea and president clinton and relax a while. >> reporter: but always the clever politician, the secretary gave us just enough to keep on guessing. >> everyone always says that when they leave these jobs. >> a recent bloomberg poll shows that nearly 2/3 of americans have a favorable view of mrs. clinton. she has said she will not serve a second term as secretary of state and she will not run as president in 2016. >> thank you. we now go to miami. bob schieffer, bob, good morning. >> reporter: hey, good morning. >> let me turn to hillary clinton before i talk about florida. do you think there's any circumstances in which the

president of the united states might decide that he'd rather have hillary clinton as his running mate rather than joe biden? >> reporter: yeah. if he decided that was the only way he could possibly win. i don't think many people thought that jack kennedy would put lyndon johnson on the ticket, but he came to the conclusion it's this way or no way and so he did. i don't think that's going to happen. i think that's remote, but every presidential candidate is going to do exactly what he thinks he has to do to win. and i guess if it came down to that, he would do it, but i don't think that's very likely. >> we saw a little bit of that last night in the debate. people are saying that this was a more aggressive mitt romney and that's what they want to see on the part of romney to stop this surge for newt gingrich. >> reporter: well, i think that's exactly right. what has happened here, charlie, is newt gingrich has made a much better debater out of mitt romney. romney just doesn't like this

kind of thing. he doesn't like to get in there and mix it up. he's now got him a new debate coach. gingrich has kept just slamming it to him, and tonight he came up with -- or last night, i should say, he came up with some answers. i think this was probably the best he has done from the standpoint of a debate, but gingrich, i don't necessarily agree with jan where she says that all four candidates -- it's not a four-man race. this is still between newt gingrich and mitt romney. and gingrich has been drawing very, very big crowds. all the polling shows that this is very, very close. and i don't think anybody thinks that ron paul is going to somehow be a major factor down here. >> but did newt gingrich -- >> reporter: he provides relieve during these debates. he'll get his usual percentage, but he's not going to threaten either of the candidates i don't think. >> some are saying this is a last chance in the debate for gingrich to make a difference.

did he lose an opportunity that he has to regain? >> reporter: well, look, there were no knockouts in this. this was a debate where neither of the candidates knocked the other one out. i think there were some good moments for both of them. i would kind of call this a draw. i haven't been here long enough to really get a sense of how the voters are taking all of this. i have a pretty good sense of the candidates. i thought gingrich and romney mixed it up pretty good. i thought romney was the best that he has been thus far, but i don't think this is over yet. >> bob, i do want to ask you quickly about rick santorum because he did have a good performance last night. he's been pretty consistent. he called to focus on the issues and forget the needling that's been going on. is it too little too late for him? >> reporter: probably. i think he has run a good campaign. i thought he was quite good. i thought he did a good job last night, but i do not see rick

santorum finishing between mitt romney and newt gingrich however this comes out. i think it's going to be gingrich and romney or romney and gingrich at this point. >> thanks so much. this sunday bob will have more from florida as face the nation debuts its new hour long format. it focuses on tuesday's primary. thousands gathered at penn state university on thursday to say a final good-bye to joe paterno. >> as cheryl brown reports, the memorial service was a tribute to the beloved coach. it was a chance to defend his legacy. >> reporter: coach, educator, devoted family man, and hero wronged. that's how former penn state head coach joe paterno was remembered yesterday at a public memorial on the university campus. his son jay addressed the crowd of 12,000 students, alumni, and fans who packed the school's basketball arena. >> he wanted to use his

remainig time on earth to see penn state continue to thrive. he never spoke ill and never wanted anyone to feel badly for him. >> reporter: paterno's death at 85 came less than three months after his stunning dismissal as head coach. the child sex abuse charges against his retired assistant, jerry sandusky, ended his career and may have tarnished his decades long legacy. so yesterday's memorial was not only a chance to remember paterno, but to varnish his memory. nike chairman phil knight brought the crowd to his feet when he called paterno his hero and said the coach was treated unfairly. >> whatever the details of the investigation are, this much is clear to me, if there is a villain in this tragedy, it lies in this investigation, not in joe paterno's response to it. >> reporter: former players spoke about the impact paterno had on their lives. michael robinson talked about the promises paterno made, not

money or a car as other schools did. >> he promised that my education would be second to none. he promised me that i would play in front of the best fans in college football. >> reporter: and yesterday those fans said a final good-bye. >> dad, you won. you did all you could do. you've done enough. we all love you. you won. you can go home now. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning", terrell brown. in utah two teenagers accused of a plot to set off a bomb at their high school. >> police say one of them was so fascinated with the columbine disaster he went there to meet with the principle. kutv reports from utah. >> reporter: neighbors left in shock. >> i had no idea that he was even thinking of this, and i don't think his parents knew either. >> reporter: classmates scared about what could have happened. >> i would expect him to be the

next albert einstein, not a bomber. >> i was like shocked. it was like, i can't believe that was him. >> reporter: tail ler bell lived down the street. >> i was pretty close to him. >> reporter: once they entered high school, things changed. his friend became withdrawn. neighbors noticed it too. >> he just didn't have any friends around. >> reporter: still, they didn't suspect anything, especially not a high school bomb plot. >> he was always polite. >> reporter: an only child, neighbors say they never saw any red flags or exerr p iments with explosives. >> if he and this kid ever tried to blow anything up, they did not do it here. >> the family's nice. i don't know where it came from. >> reporter: as for flying to denver to visit columbine, police say he flew on his own skipping school without permission all with the intent to learn more about the school shooting massacre. when interviewed by police he said, those killers only completed 1% of their plan and i'm much more intelligent than that. >> he was smart. he was really smart. >> reporter: as for the other suspect, neighbors and friends say 18-year-old dallin morgan

was a good student taking ap classes. >> just a shocker. >> reporter: in the end, roy high school is just glad that concerned students came forward before the plan could be carried out. >> we commend the student that came forward. we hope in similar situations that students will have the courage to do the same thing. >> a follow up for you on the grounded cruise ship in italy. this morning the passengers are being offered nearly 14:500 thousand dollars a piece. they call it compensation. the ship fell over two weeks ago of course after the captain ran off course. 16 people are confirmed dead. another 16 are still missing. now passengers can still sue if they are not happy with the compensation deal. taking a look at weather. parts of alabama can't catch a break it seems after being ravaged by tornadoes, the central part of the state is now dealing with flooding. here's what it looks like near

birmingham yesterday. high water closed streetsz, damaged businesses and homes. there was a little bit of good news here though. clear skies should be back today. >> this national weather report sponsored by the home depot. more saving, more doing. that's the power of the home depot.

former hostage jessica buchanan's family is rushing to her side this morning. we'll take you to italy to find out why her rescue is making other pirates in somalia so angry and why there's concern it could put another american in danger. captain sully sullenberger has the final word on why we have to turn off cell phones and other devices had we take off and land. er inbrockovich, that story ahead in the headlines. you're watching "cbs this morning."

charlie. what do we know about her health that caused the united states to go in when it did because tom done know lan told us last night that it was her health that caused them to move when they did? >> reporter: well, we understand, charlie, that she may have had something of a kidney problem. they're not giving any details about her health other than to say she may have had a medical problem. also, the timing was geared to what the navy s.e.a.l.s wanted. it was a clear night with a new moon. that's good for them for night vision fighting, bad for the enemy because they can't see very well. a combination of factors. her health was one of them and we think it was a kidney problem. >> are they worried, the united states forces and people there, that there might be some kind of retaliation because of this raid? >> reporter: well, there is a lot of debate over that, charlie. the armed rescue of hostages does put the wind up, if you will, of the kidnappers.

there is another american held, journalist, that's being held. it's been reported by a spokesman for the pirates that they moved him three times immediately following the raid that rescued jessica buchanan and poul thisted. the military, of course, says, look, if they're there, we can get them, we will. there are nearly 160 foreigners being held by pirates. it is a concern there could be violent retaliation against them if there is another raid to rescue hostages. >> alan, thank you very much. senior correspondent mr. miller is with us. bob simon is with us. bob was captured in iraq in 19916789 he was held prisoner for 40 days. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> give us the sense of what it means and what you're going through, how do you recover after coming back from that kind of horrific experience? you, of course, wrote a book about that. >> the first few days you're just ecstatic. you're free. you didn't think you were going to survive so it's pure ectasy.

that lasts 48, 72 hours, and then reality sinks in. you don't really feel so good anymore. you're more fragile than you think you are at first. and it's good to go far away, go skiing or go to mountain climbing in nepal, take a sled. >> get your mind off everything you've been through? >> yeah. >> what do you need in terms of support? is there something that you need beyond that sort of the clearing of your mind? >> oh, first of all clearing of your mind doesn't really work. it's just fun to do that. you don't ever really clear your mind. i think the best thing is to be with somebody you really like or love. >> exactly. >> after that. it's also good to be on your own for a while. >> even now, do you think about this? >> it's always there. always there but i don't think about it much. >> what about the process? we'll touch more on exactly the process in a second with john,

but the process you went through into a reintegration that jessica buchanan is going through now. how much did that help you? >> i didn't have a process. i did everything wrong. nobody told me very much. all of a sudden when you get out of a situation like this you're very famous. you have your 24 hours so i was in bed in a hospital where they were checking me out and, you know, for 40 days people are really unfriendly. i was getting all these friendly, warm, humane, sympathetic calls from lecture agents, publishers. you know, they were all concerned about -- >> your welfare, weren't they? >> they were. i was working the phones which was exactly the wrong thing to do. >> all those television producers who wanted you to tell their story only with them. >> there was that. >> mr. miller, what do you think about this whole process? because you have been involved in sort of anti-terrorism efforts. >> i think bob touched on it,

which is there actually has to be a process. people who are in captivity for a time and then get thrown back into normal life, really to pay the price for not having had that organized for them, a lot of this was developed under the military for p.o.w.s, but it increasingly applies to hostages. >> what would be happening today for jessica and poul? >> the military has adopted this, the fbi and all agencies use, this it's the personnel recovery agency doctrine. it's a three-phase process that they go through speaking generally. phase one is the initial heckout, what is your current physical condition, psychological condition? phase two is really a decompression where they let you tell your story. they let you have some contact with family. and they do an assessment of how you're doing. phase three is your action plan. your action plan to get back to your normal life. >> did you have an action plan,

bob? >> i went back to work immediately, which is a very dumb thing to do. >> why was it a dumb thing to do? >> because you're not ready. your head is in a million places and none of them are good. you shouldn't get back to real life right away because you have no idea what's been going on with you. >> you're probably the only person that knows internally because it will be different for every person? >> exactly, sure. >> thank you. don't forget you can see "60 minutes" this sunday night right here on cbs. plenty of attention paid to alec baldwin when he got in trouble on that flight recently. turns out he's not the only one that doesn't want to turn off his phone on a plane so do you really need to? is it dangerous? we'll answer the question once and for all when we return. you're watching "cbs this morning." ♪

are navigational radios that are affected when you're trying to land. >> reporter: for all those who hate switching off their devices, here is the guy to blame. dave carson, an engineer at boeing and co chairman of the faa committee that made the rule. >> it's easier to say turn them all off. if they have a battery, turn it off. if they have a switch, turn it off. >> reporter: the ban on cell phone use has as much to do with the cell phone network as it does with air safety. on the ground a phone signal usually reaches just one or two cell towers, but from the air one phone can blanket hundreds of towers, potentially disrupting the entire system. in the huge factory where boeing builds 747s carson says the potential for interference can depend on how close a passenger is sitting to an aircraft antenna. >> with the antennas you can see on top of the airplane, those are the ones we're talking about with potential interference. a passenger sitting by the window, a signal can get out.

this morning off good morning. 7:56. i'm grace lee with your cbs 5 headlines. this morning, officers are at dorms at san jose state university. they are looking for a man who they say entered a room in the joe west dorms and groped a female student. police are warning students now that they need to lock their doors. no suspects so far in berkeley's first murder of the year. police believe that the man killed in an apartment on shattuck avenue last night was specifically targeted. several neighbors had reported hearing a lot of gunshots. and "occupy oakland" is planning to take over a vacant building tomorrow. the group says if they are evicted, they will block the oakland airport, "occupy" city hall and shut down the oakland ports. we'll get an update of your traffic and your weekend weather, it's all coming up. ,,,,

good morning. we have a new accident now along the peninsula. it's southbound 101 just before highway 92. one lane is blocked because of

an accident there. we have brake lights as far back as sfo. this is the san mateo bridge. it continues to be socked in with fog even more difficult to see now than an hour ago. the right side of your screen, maybe you can see a few taillights. sluggish in the westbound lanes of 92. 880 by coliseum, drive time is about 19 minutes between 238 and the maze. it's sluggish near the downtown oakland exits. all socked in and fog about every traffic camera we have. we used to be able to see 280 in san jose. not any longer. >> yeah, a lot of that fog sitting right inside the bay but more sunshine in the valleys already beginning to mix that fog out. let's take you out there now. and you can see, over the bay, yup, under the bridge we have that fog but already sunshine into san francisco. and what an afternoon we're going to have, sunshine all the way to the coast into the upper 60s in many spots inland. next couple of days look spectacular. cooling off a little bit into sunday, more clouds on the way next week.

taco bell has introduced a new breakfast menu. yeah, yeah. taco bell says it's a good idea because breakfast is the most important bowel explosion of the day. it's 8:00.our bacon and eggs. welcome back to "cbs this morning." i'm gayle king. >> and i'm charlie rose with erica hill. a brand new poll this morning shows mitt romney gaining ground in florida's presidential primary. >> that follows a solid performance by romney in last night's debate. >> we discovered to our shock, governor romney owns shares of both fannie mae and freddie mac. >> have you check checked your

own investments? >> the biggest issue is these two gentlemen are distracting by playing petty, personal politics. >> i don't want to be the first to get to the moon and turn around and say it doesn't matter. >> i'm willing to challenge any of these gentlemen up here to a 25-mile bike ride any time of the day in the heat of texas. you know, there are laws against age discrimination. >> mr. speaker, i'm not anti-immigrant. my father was born in mexico. my wife's father was born in wales. >> those are not the clear contrasts we need if we're going to defeat barack obama. >> how about the rest of us agree for the rest of the evening? >> jan is with us from miami. we also have our chief white house correspondent who's in ann arbor, michigan. good morning. >> good morning. >> jan, let me go first to you. what's happened to mitt romney after having a couple of bad weeks, at least? he now seems to be more

aggressive, more pointed, more precise, and on the move as these polls may indicate. >> reporter: i've just got to say, we've seen such a different mitt romney this week in the debates and on the stops on the campaign trail. i think there are two reasons for that. number one, he got whooped in south carolina. he knows he has to perform. this state is critical. if newt gingrich wins here, it's he's got to get down to business and win this thing. number two, charlie, he has a new debate coach. this guy came in over the weekend. he's considered one of the best in the business, brett o'donnell. he's been working with governor romney. you see a crisper, sharper, more authoritative romney, answering those questions and not backing down when gingrich tries to land a punch.& it's made a big difference. now he's communicated his message. >> jan, we can no longer say the debates don't matter. people are saying 19 and counting, how many more? but they've certainly made a

difference. >> reporter: that is absolutely right, gayle. especially for newt gingrich. think back to south carolina. romney won new hampshire. gingrich came in at bottom. you had two debates where he took on the moderators, where he blasted the media and went after barack obama. people loved it. we saw gingrich skyrocket to the top and crush romney in south carolina. his campaign has really been fueled by these debates. but this week, it's been a different newt gingrich, a different mitt romney. these debates have not given gingrich the opportunity to really take on romney and show the voters that he alone is the best candidate to take on barack obama. that just hasn't come through yet this week. >> erica. >> jan, he looked like a different newt gingrich last night. he missed some opportunities. there's been a lot of talk about people like bob dole coming out saying he's not the guy. could he be listening to that? >> reporter: that's a great

question. i would say probably not. i mean, newt gingrich is a warrior. when he sees these guys coming out against him, that's going to make him more determined to stay in this thing and win this thing. out on the campaign trail, talking to voters, he is feisty, in your face, not backing down at all. when he got in these debates where he seemed to pull his punches a little, it's hard to understand. i think a lot of it was that romney was not backing down. so you really had this back and forth. gingrich lands a punch. it doesn't knock romney down. he pops right back up. i think that was a big difference. we also saw gingrich trying to get back in this thing and try to go after wolf blitzer last night. blitzer wouldn't allow it. >> nora, it's said that in chick where they are running the obama campaign that they're so giddy they want to run in millennium park. >> that's a visual. >> reporter: they don't want to interfere with these debates. they think the more the american

people watch these debates, they get a better understanding of their opponent. the republicans. this president is trying to stay above the fray at this point. we're on the final stop of a five-day, three-day tour. it's a tour where he's been talking about education, today. energy, the day before. manufacturing. all things he talked about in the state of the union address. certainly, politics is incredibly important. the states we've been to are all important. we were in arizona and nevada yesterday. those are part of the president's western map tour to victory. that's why the issue of immigration came up. >> nora, i heard the president saydebates. someone in the white house is clearly watching. do you think they're pulling for w one candidate or the other? >> reporter: they say publicly they all have pretty much the same record. i think that they're betting that mitt romney becomes the republican nominee.

michael jackson has been gone for three years now, but last night jackson's children put his hand and footprints in cement at the famous hollywood shrine. we're going to take you there. you're watching "cbs this morning."

got to be starting something. michael jackson never got to leave his hand and foot prints at hollywood's famous chinese theater. more than two years after his death, his children did it for him. >> and some very famous fans were there to see it as well. ben tracy in in hollywood this morning. ben, good morning. >> reporter: good morning from hollywood. here is the famous grauman's chinese theater. they have hand prints and foot prints from all sorts of famous people. this will be the latest. michael jackson. the imprint of his famous seq n sequinnsequi sequinned glove over there, his footprints and the hand prints of his three children, who took steps to ensure their father's immortality. >> i speak for him as well.

this right here is his lifetime achievement award. >> reporter: in his lifetime, michael jackson had been celebrated with gold records and grammys, but this was a recognition like none other. for the first time ever, a celebrity was honored by grauman's chinese theater after their death. michael jackson's children took their father's shoe and famous sequinned glove and left an impression that will never be erased. >> it's only fitting that michael be enshrined here today in front of grauman's chinese theater alongside -- >> reporter: jackson's long time producer quincy jones joined thousands of fans to pay tribute. >> i think he deserves this. and so much more. >> it's a very good celebration. i know if michael was here, he

would agree. >> mike the meant so much to me. >> reporter: singer justin bieber said he drew inspiration from one particular song, from michael's jackson 5 days. you may be wondering why this event is happening now. well, it's being produced by michael jackson's estate. michael jackson's concert hits los angeles this weekend. and fans got a preview of that show after the ceremony. jackson's children were immortalized as well, leaving their hand prints alongside those of their famous father. now, this thing weighs about 1,000 pounds, so it needs to set for a good ten days before it can go out into the courtyard. the folks here tell us it will be on public display about the middle of next month.

until then, it will have 24-hour security. so erica, gayle, don't get any ideas. >> darn. i was just getting ready to get on a plane and come to l.a. ben, you just mentioned it's very heavy, 1,000 pounds. does that mean it's going to stay there forever? >> reporter: well, as we all know, nothing really lost lasts in this town forever. they started doing this back in the 1920s. those very first footprints and hand prints from 1927 are actually still here in the ground. >> good to know. thank you, ben tracy, reporting from los angeles. i can't get over, erica, the jackson kids. paris, in particular. she's so gorgeous, so pretty. they've grown so much in two and a half years. >> so grown up. it's wild. >> they seem okay. >> they seem like they're doing really well, which is nice to see. >> working for a wine maker, turns out, is not just a bowl of grapes. that's what the ceo found out when he became an undercover boss. this is one of our favorite series here on cbs.

never go wrong when you start the day with bruce springsteen. recently, the president of kendall jackson wine in california got down in the trenches to see what life is really like for his employees. he's the latest "undercover boss." >> one case right there. >> okay. >> you got to push it forward. >> yeah, i got it. i got it. >> there you go. >> that was my fault. i keep an eye over there. >> keep going. keep going. >> all right, all right, all right. i got it. a little clumsy here. >> i'll do it my way so you can see. >> woo, double.

>> the boss man is rick tigner. he joins us now. >> great to be here. >> what did you learn? >> i learned a lot. going undercover gave me a great opportunity to really see the passion and commitment, you know, that we have with our employees. i have this one concept i call look, listen, and learn. it really is, you know, a lot of bosses want to go to meetings and want to talk a lot. i think you get more from your employees if you actually give them a voice and listen to what they have to say. going undercover for me gave me a great opportunity not just to, you know, see the passion and commitment, but actually just to hear their stories. >> did you learn things you didn't know about your company and their attitude about you? >> well, you know, i've been with the company for 20 years. i ran sales and distribution for the first 18. really, when i first became the president, you know, jess jackson, who founded the company, really mentored me for the first six months. i hadn't had a chance, really, to get in the production, fields.

i learned a lot about our employees. they're passionate. they're committed. they're intelligent. they want to learn. >> you know what i learned about you? you're not very good on the bottle line. >> no, i'm not. >> you need bottle line lessons, my friend. so what was it like? normally the boss doesn't take direction from the employees. what was that like for you? was that a humbling experience? was that an enriching experience? >> i took it all in. it was a humbling experience. on the bottling line, i was trying. >> that was you trying? >> that was me trying. i actually think i'm pretty coordinated. mark is an expert. people who work on the bottling line are experts at what they do. i was trying to look, listen, and learn. the reality is i had an "i love lucy" moment. mark turned out to be a great supervisor, great trainer. he's a friend of mine. >> you can see that. i became so smitten with you because you showed so much emotion. you got choked up talking about

your lovely wife wendy. you got moved by an employee's story. you got moved when you were talking about your mentor. you really showed a lot of emotion. it wasn't boo-hoo crying. but you could tell. do you regret showing that much emotion? men, most of the time, rick, don't do that. i love it. >> you have to be who you are. it is what it is. i love my wife. i love jess jackson. the show happened right after jess passed. so the emotion that i had personally with the family, you know, because we're a family-owned company. i've always been a part of a that, what i would call, extended family. my connection with jess, after he had passed, there was a lot of emotion. obviously, my wife and being away for seven days, i missed her. >> you showed it. >> so what's your action plan now that you've had this experience? do you want to do it with other people within the company? they go do it and find out what it's like. >> exactly. a lot of ceos or bosses want to fly at 30,000 feet. my whole goal and what jess taught me is you have to fly at three feet. what we've done since the show,

and that's what's valuable about the show. it's not the show that's great. it's what you do afterwards. things we've already done, language classes. we have over 200 employees taking language classes. >> that's crucial because you had a 24-year-old supervisor who couldn't communicate with the spanish-speaking workers. they couldn't communicate with her. >> right. i knew we had hispanic workers who couldn't speak english. i really didn't know our leadership team couldn't communicate with them. if you are going to be a great company, you have to have great communication. it's what we've done afterwards to improve that communication, with which makes it a great place to work. >> it's the truth about life and companies. you have to communicate. >> it takes all kinds of people to make a world. it takes all kinds of people to make a great company. >> you are a really nice guy. really nice guy. >> i've never seen us so taken with a guest. >> i'm trying not to gush, but he was something. thank you, rick. >> well, thank you. >> you can see "undercover boss" this sunday night at 8:00/7:00

good morning. if you are a caltrain rider we have some delays to tell you about. train 313 has to make additional stops in menlo park, redwood city and south san francisco due to a train taken out of service. also, trains 215, 208 and 210 are also behind schedule. if you are hitting the roads this morning, this is what it looks like on a lot of bay area freeways. fogged in, including here at the bay bridge toll plaza, where chp still has that fog advisory in effect here and just about every bridges across the bay area. by the way, it is stacked up well into the macarthur maze, still a good 20-minute wait or so to get on the span.

that's traffic. for your forecast, here's lawrence. >> low clouds and fog beginning to break up around the bay area over russian hill right now. looking back toward the golden gate bridge, you can see how low the clouds are. fog breaking up this afternoon, looking great, mostly sunny skies. how about the valleys, though? plenty of sunshine there already. and by the afternoon, that's where you're going to find som of the warmer temperatures. 67 in santa rosa with some down slope winds, 65 degrees in livermore, and 67 degrees in san jose. those offshore winds already gusting over the mountaintops, so a little breezy there but should clear out your skies all the way to the coastline. offshore winds will continue to blow right in through saturday. then it looks like things begin to change a little bit, more of a sea breeze sunday. weak system slides in across the bay area late sunday night into monday, maybe some sprinkles north of the golden gate bridge. otherwise, some partly cloudy skies next week and no major rain.

hello, dallas, texas. welcome back to "cbs this morning." we begin this half hour with a story about a type of car insurance fraud that's hitting an all-time high. >> in florida, authorities say consumers pay an extra $1 billion a year because of it. our chief investigative correspondent shows us how scam artists collect. >> reporter: in tampa, security cameras captured an accident.

an suv slammed into a car. but rewind the tape, and you see it's no accident. instead, the car was driven into the middle of the street. the driver got out. a collision. then five people climbed into the damaged vehicle. the passengers later claimed they'd been injured. the start of a scam to rip off their car insurance company. >> they are organized and ongoing criminal enterprise, racketeering to defraud insurance companies out of millions of dollars. >> reporter: today, 12 states have what's known as no-fault auto insurance. that means no matter who's at fault, everyone involved in an auto accident is entitled to insurance money, if they're hurt. in florida, it's up to $10,000 a person. in new york, $50,000. opening a door for scammers like this man, who asked we conceal his identity. >> why this scam? is it because it's just so easy? >> it's easy money.

it's a lot of money. >> reporter: here's how it works. it's run by organizers, who own bogus medical clinics. they in turn hire recruiters, who find people willing to stage accidents for hundred. the people involved are taken to the phony clinics. w this person is then paid $700 in cash for taking an accident and injury. >> is it always the same thing? is it a back problem? >> that's what's easy. no matter what you do, you have a back problem. >> it's very organized. in tampa, especially, there's one organization that allegedly controls 50 or 60 clinics with a hierarchy of people who owned clinics down to people staging accidents, participants. >> reporter: investigators say crooked clinic owners can rake in as much as $2 million a year.

these scammers were arrested and convicted of staging a car accident. >> hello and welcome. >> good morning. >> i'm always so surprised people aren't aware. there's cameras everywhere. why do people think they can get away with it? >> well, because they are getting away with it. this is amazing. that one there we saw, you know, people got out of the car. in the other cases, they actually go up to a stop sign or to a light. somebody will flash their lights, which is the signal to start the scam. somebody will run into them. everybody in the car -- you could have five people in the car. in florida, that's potentially $50,000. you have doctors, lawyers, physicians all in on this stuff because the insurance companies have to pay within 30 days in florida. >> wow. it's so expensive. don't you, though, have to call the police when you have an accident? wouldn't that stop this scam? >> no, i think it starts the scam. you have an actual police report that then you can file with the

insurance companies. it's gotten so easy down there now, a lot of people are just going online, downloading a form for a police accident, filling them out, and then taking them to these fake clinics. >> without ever having the accident? >> without ever having the accident. >> so much easier. >> i know. it's amazing. new york and michigan, it's rampant there as well. >> hopefully they saw you this morning and will rethink that strategy. thank you. >> you're welcome. moving now from fraud to murder. tomorrow's "48 hours mystery" has a story about forbidden young love that ends with a mother's killing. richard reports now how investigators had to answer a tough question. did the victim's daughter really do it? >> you've been arrested for murder. >> what? who did i murder? >> your mother. >> my mom's dead? >> reporter: this is 14-year-old tyler witt.

she and her 19-year-old boyfriend were charged with killing her mother in 2009. joanne was a single mother who lived with tyler in el dorado hills, california. the prosecutor said the killing was especially vicious. >> joanne had 20 stab wounds over her entire body. >> reporter: the crime of matricide, when a child kills his or her mother, is extremely rare and tyler vehemently denied killing her mother. tyler eventually admitted she planned her mother's murder but insisted steven did the stabbing. he says she did it. the prosecutors believe tyler. >> you asked why i ultimately believed her. all the other evidence in the case that we have independently supports what she says. >> tyler witt made a deal to

testify against her boyfriend in exchange for a lighter sentence. richard is with us now. good morning. >> morning. >> a little disturbing. >> yeah, not great. >> no. you mentioned matricide is rare. >> it is quite rare. >> are there numbers on this? >> yeah, there are. they're just starting to collect numbers. unfortunately, this is one area of crime that's growing. the latest figures were available from 2008. 260 mothers were murdered that year. those are the latest figures. the thing that's disturbing is that while other types of crime are going down, this is rising as a percentage of family crimes. so people are really starting to take a look at it. >> as a mother, you too, erica, we're glad to hear the numbers are rare. is it more common with sons versus daughters? >> it's extremely rare for daughters to kill their mothers. i think the figures are seven to one, boys versus girls. so not only is matricide very

rare, but the incidents of daughters killing their mothers is even more rare. >> the question when you look at these numbers is why are these numbers going up? >> this is all so new. they think it has to do with stress. this is what criminologists say before they know what's causing it. what they do know is it's rising. these crimes are typically unbelievably violent. joanne witt was stabbed 20 times. i did a story a year ago where the mother was stabbed 50 times. so they're looking at that too. >> i don't know, richard. i've had enough of that. >> sorry to bring down your morning. it's an important -- >> good to see you. >> always fun, huh. it's an important issue they're looking at. >> i watch every saturday. >> there will be a quiz. >> when you watch this saturday, richard's full report will be airing on "48 hours mystery" tomorrow at 10/9:00 central.

it's tough to imagine broadway without andrew lloyd webber. he's here with us this morning in studio 57. we'll talk about ♪ [ dance ]

what are we listening to? music, grandma. it doesn't sound like music to me. ♪ [ stops ] these fries are pretty good. they're gonna go right to my rear though. [ man ] are you excited to see the place? [ grandma ] you just never know. you think it's gonna look the same, but you never know. grandma, wait. grandma, wait up! [ chuckles ] the leap list. get going on yours... in the completely redesigned cr-v. all new, from honda.

♪ >>u kn you know the music. a little more than 25 years ago a musical about a disfigured, mysterious genius opened in london. today, "phantom of the opera" is the longest running show in broadway history. its creator, andrew lloyd weber, is with us this morning. first, let's look at his remarkable career. ♪ >> reporter: a famous line from one of theater's most famed

production. written, produced, and composed by london native andrew lloyd webber. >> he's a real perfectionist, which can be a pain for some people, but i happen to like that. >> reporter: and so do millions of fans and critics around the world. webber's shows have won seven tonies, three grammys, an oscar, and a golden globe. over four decades, he's transformed musical theater. his initial success came in the 1970s with the production of "jesus christ superstar" and "avita." in the '80s, he created "cats." >> prior to "cats," a successful broadway show would run for two, three, four years. "cats" running for 18 years is unprecedented. >> reporter: until, of course,

the phantom came to town. it's known as the most successful piece of entertainment of all time. 130 million people have seen it to the tune of $5.6 billion in revenue. >> it becomes a destination as opposed to just a show you go to see. >> reporter: but even if you ka can't see the show, webber's music of the night might find you. >> we don't often get to introduce a guest this way, but lord andrew lloyd webber is here. good morning. what is it you have that other people don't have? what is this genius that enables you to do this kind of work that so resonates with the public? >> i can't really answer that question. i mean, i'm just very lucky. i love musical theater. i'm very lucky, really, that i've been able to make a career

out of it. >> do you buy that, gayle? >> no, charlie. i was just going to say, i'm thinking it's more than luck. would it embarrass you to know i've seen phantom nine times. every time i go to see it, i get something different. but i'm told i'm not alone. you have a lot of repeat customers. >> there are a lot of people who are a bit crazy, i think. >> you think i'm crazy? >> it's a bit strange to me. the phantom has been extraordinary. you know, i've been very, very lucky. >> does that make it your favorite? >> you know, i'm always asked, you know, what's my favorite. i think the truth is they're all a bit like kids. you know, they're like your children. >> hard to pick a favorite. >> it's really hard to pick one. "jesus christ superstar," i'm

happy there's a production of that coming. i'm pleased about that because i never really liked the broadway production of "superstar" before. >> why not? >> i just thought it's completely alien to what i really intended. i always wanted it to be quite gritty. i think they've given it that edge, which i am pleased about. >> have you ever failed? >> oh, yes. hundreds of times. >> failed wildly? >> yes, i mean, things in london didn't work. i'm very happy to say it's worked in australia. the fine line between success and failure in musical theater is terribly small times. if you think about it -- say "chicago." that failed the first time out. now, you probably think of

"chicago" as one of the biggest hits. >> and the movie helped make it more famous. so what's that difference? what's that fine edge that makes one thing look like a failure at one time and another time a success? >> put it in another way. if maria hadn't done the wonderful designed for "phantom of the opera," we might not be here talking about it. i always remember prince saying something to me just before i started out. he said, you can't listen to music if you can't look at it. i thought about that. what he actually meant is the design of a show wasn't right, it can absolute lly ruin something. >> you keep saying, mr. webber, that you're lucky. your friends say you're a wor a workaholic. >> i enjoy what i do.

what we've been doing in britain is reality show casting. we've found some fantastic people. >> you like the casting of it. >> i like working with young people, i must say. it's great to have an opportunity to do that. >> you write such beautiful, beautiful love songs. are you a hopeless romantic? you've been married. you have five children. are you a hopeless romantic? >> i'm a romantic, yes. i care very much. let me put it another way. i find it very difficult to write about a character i don't care about. i mean, the most difficult role, which i've ever really had to do, was "evita." >> you didn't like her? >> no, but i found a way of doing it, which i think, you know, made that one. >> isn't ricky martin going to be in "evita"? >> yes, he's going to play trey. >> it's great to have you at this table. >> thank you very much.

>> andrew lloyd weber. we hear this morning that jay-z and beyonce's baby may have a very important godmother. we hope gayle will set the record straight for us. you're watching morning morning.

♪ the buzz on the internet this morning that the godmother of beyonce and jay-z's daughter is none other than oprah winfrey. i don't know if anybody at the table would know about that. charlie? >> let me just say, if that's true, it is news to her. it is news to her. you know, she was heading to south africa when the baby was born. it's absolutely not true that she's the godmother. she friends with them, of course and likes them both very much. she's working on sending a baby gift. she hasn't had thyme to do that because thooes been away. >> she's sent one.

>> what's a perfect baby gift? >> that's hard, charlie. i have a great gift. i have one. let me talk about this for a second. when i sat down, america, charlie said what is on your neck? i said, it is a necklace. >> i did. >> what did he say, erica? >> how many did you have on when you sat down? >> i did have two. erica, what did he say? >> shiny or not? >> they were very shiny. >> it wasn't about the shine. >> he said it looked like lady gaga's sausage. >> he said it looked like sausages around your neck. i said that's not the look i'm going for. >> you want to be lady gaga elegant. >> i said i was going for elegant. >> she is that. >> i said i was going for elegant and classy and charlie said, well it's that too. sausage -- saturday,

interesting things. watch that as well. >> goodbye. >> i will step down this week. >> all of us come to the floor today to salute her. >> gabby, we'll be friend for life. >> the president of the united states. >> no bailout, no handouts and no copouts. >> asking a billionaire to pay as much as his secretary in taxes? most americans would -- >> won't you blow your horn ♪ >> good job tonight. >> extremely excited that she was safe, out of there. >> mother nature is the baddest thing on o the planet. >> a massive solar flare. >> hits an all-time low. >> the news we've been waiting for. >> artist. >> michelle williams was fantastic in my week with marilyn. >> legacy is going to be in his five children and his 17 grandchildren. certainly the hundreds of players that he's coached over the years. >> joe paterno just represented the best parts of this place. the soul of what it's about. >> president kennedy died at 1

p.m. central time. >> when i say florida. >> the speaker was given an opportunity to be the leader of our party in 1994, at the end of four years he had to resign in disgrace. >> when there's a fire in romney, it's a weird electrical fire. >> be nice he had the same standard for other people that you want applied to you and didn't enter into personal attacks. >> when it comes to sex scandals, he's not as bad as bill clinton. >> he knew he was lying under oath. i didn't do the same thing. >> after hearing this, bill clinton said, you got that right and high fived every guy on earth. >> you could come back here next january or next february with a president gingrich. >> that will never happen. >> i won't be ignored, charlie. >> she's compassionate, yet firm. she's not afraid to shoot a gun. >> this ought to be an outstanding matchup. i'm looking forward to it. >> look out, look out! it's no good.

program. what's going on weather-wise? >> a big weekend clearing out the skies, still patches of fog, let's get you out there. still, seeing some fog moving about but it's a thin layer near the surface so it's breaking up. that means we're going to see more sunshine as we head towards the afternoon. the temperatures are going to be running above the average, very mild for this time of year, as high as 67 in san jose, 67 with down slope winds in santa rose, 63 in san francisco. even sunshine all the way out to the coastline today. that will continue tomorrow. a little breezy over the mountaintops through saturday morning, then that should begin to subside. more clouds with an onshore breeze on sunday with cooler temperatures, partly cloudy skies, no major rain in sight. we'll check out your time saver traffic next.

>> good morning. we're starting to see peeks of sun. it's stacked because of stalls on the upper deck, one near the incline. they are working to clear them now but it is 20 minutes to get to the span. some other cameras still obviously socked in, including the nimitz, a live look at 880 through oakland, looking good towards downtown. we couldn't see this earlier. we have brake lights on westbound 237, from 880, and they have to take a caltrain out of service so there are still delays.
