7:00 am
end of the week. >> enjoy your monday. thank you for being here with us. >> caption colorado, llc comments@captioncolorado.com good morning to our viewers in the west. it's monday, january 30, 2012. welcome to studio 57 at the cbs broadcast center. i'm charlie rose. mitt romney gains more ground in florida as newt gingrich lashes out calling him dishonest. we'll ask the former house speaker about that and his plans to stay in the race all the way until the convention. i'm gayle king. more than a dozen teenagers in the same town have a mystery illness, but doctors say it's all in their heads. we'll speak with a doctor at the center of that controversial case. and at 8:00, how long hours on the job are hurting millions of americans. i'm erica hill. facebook is expected to go public this week, selling $10 billion in stock. what would that mean for your account? and school kids in l.a. give
7:01 am
new healthy lunches there an f. but we begin with a look at today's "eye opener." your world in 90 seconds. i am in fact the legitimate heir of the reagan movement. not some liberal from massachusetts. newt gingrich tries to slow mitt romney's surge in florida. >> he is now finding excuses everywhere he can. on tv this morning going from station to station complaining. >> he just trying to tear down whoever he is running against. it isn't true. he carpet bombs with wall street money. >> it's a very nasty race. i've never seen anything like this. >> the race against the machine, vote for newt. annoy a liberal. occupy protests flare up. following weekend clashes in oakland. >> there are cops on one end. we turned around, there were cops on the other end. another awful accident. >> 10 people have died. >> drivers were blinded from fog and smoke from a nearby brush
7:02 am
fire. that fire may have been a case of arson. > >> hearing crashes, hearing people scream. big news on wall street is the expected announcement that facebook is going public. >> a man pulled from the rio grande after possibly days of being stuck in the mud. all of that, and all that matters -- >> i got him, i got him, i got it! oh, my god! >> and the actor goes to the cast of "the help." >> on "cbs this morning." >> how do you watch the nuclear response from this airplane? do you pick up that phone? >> don't touch anything, you know. welcome to "cbs this morning." we begin with the final push to the florida primary. there's just 24 hours left before voting begins. >> the latest polls shows that mitt romney is well ahead of
7:03 am
newt gingrich in the race. and jen crawford is in florida for us this morning. >> good morning, guys, and good morning to the west coast. with polls showing gingrich plummeting here in florida, he is going on the attack and getting personal. he is questioning romney's character and his integrity. >> why can't you be candid? you cannot be president of the united states if you cannot be honest and candid with the american people. i don't know how you debate a person in a civil, you know, being civil, when he stands there and just greblatantly doet tell the truth. >> reporter: the attacks infuriated the romney campaign, and he answered back last night in an interview with john dickerson. >> speaker gingrich is not revealing himself to be the kind of person that i think he would want to be seen in this race for president, because we look for qualities in a president, but not for whining and excuses. >> reporter: gingrich came into this state a week ago on top of the polls and with all the momentum. even an interview by his second
7:04 am
ex-wife marianne, who claimed gingrich wanted an open marriage gingricho continue an affair wi woman who now is his third wife, didn't seem to dent his support. he scored a landslide victory in south carolina. but after two weak debate performances here and stepped-up attacks by romney, gingrich has slipped badly, especially with women voters. in south carolina, gingrich won the female vote, but in a miami herald poll, romney is up among women by 19 points. gingrich's personal history is having more of an impact here with conservative voters like francis johnson. >> we all forgive, we do. but i just cannot vote for a man with that kind of baggage. i just can't do it. >> reporter: now gingrich has also been saying that if only rick santorum would quit, he could beat romney. he is saying he and santorum are splitting up that conservative vote. and santorum did leave the campaign trail over the weekend. he went back home to pennsylvania. his 3-year-old daughter was hospitalized for pneumonia.
7:05 am
but he told reporters last night that she really has had a miraculous turn-around and he'll be back on the campaign trail this afternoon. charlie? >> jan, thanks. in last night's interview with cbs news, romney also had this to say about newt gingrich and his campaign. >> unfortunately, when the pressure of a campaign gets a little higher, the wrong side of newt gingrich is being revealed. and it's actually quite sad and pain >> now we asked newt gingrich about that. he is in jacksonville, florida. good morning, mr. speaker. >> good morning. >> you heard what mitt romney said, sad. >> look, mitt romney is a guy who was raised with immense amounts of money. obama's biggest financer. outspending about nine to one here. george sorros yesterday said there's no difference between an obama presidency and a romney presidency as far as he is concerned. he can get along with either one.
7:06 am
mitt romney ran as a liberal in massachusetts. pro abortion, pro tax increase, pro gun control, and bought an mazing amount of ads to pretend he is someone he's not. i think he'll find it a long campaign. i don't think the republican party will nominate somebody whose romney care is essentially the same as obama care. i think we have bigger issues to fight over essentially. he can do all the personal things he wants. on big, philosophical issues, he is for all practical purposes a liberal, and i'm a conservative, and that's what this fight will be about all the way to the convention. >> why are so many conservatives, including people who served with you and people who are part of the conservative media like drudge and ann coulter attacking you? >> well, in a lot of cases because they are part of the establishment. look who they are tied to, look where their money comes from. the washington and new york establishments together want somebody that they can trust. somebody, for example, like romney who praised secretary treasurer geithner.
7:07 am
somebody who is comfortable with his biggest donor getting $13 billion or $15 billion in tax credit money. they'll say and do virtually anything to keep the system alive. i think they recognize i'm a genuine outsider. i know a lot about washington, having served as speaker, but i have none of the establishment ties, and i will shake the system up. they don't want to be shaken up. they are very comfortable presiding over the decay as long as they get to keep playing their games. >> there are those who say that you are i thiangry and want to even with romney. that's what drives you. >> you know, there are people who reduce politics to pettiness. this is about very big issues. the obama administration just launched an attack on christianity so severe that every single church in florida had a letter read from the bishops yesterday, all across the country, cardinal dorman leading the effort to explain that literally freedom of religion in america is now being attacked by obama. the romney care does the same thing. romney care has tax paid
7:08 am
abortions. romney care put planned parenthood the largest abortion provider in america in the bill. no right to life groups in the bill. planned parenthood is. romney himself approved taking away a conscious clause from catholic hospitals. let's be clear. i'm running because there are big issues. do you believe in an america dominated by the new york and washington establishment or do you believe in an america where people matter more than money? >> do you approve of sarah palin talking about what has happened to you as stalinesque? >> i think she's correct to say that all of the elements of the old establishment are in a moment of hysteria. we nominated a moderate for badly. we nominated a moderate for president in 2008 and he lost badly. if we nominate a massachusetts liberal, i don't see how he defends romney care as being different from obama care. i don't see how he defends his gun control as being different, his pro abortion position as
7:09 am
being different, or his tax increases as different. >> where do you expect to win? how do you see your route to the nomination? if not in florida, where? >> well, first of all, i think it's closing here in florida. i think the next 24 hours is going to make a big difference. when floridians learn that george sorros thinks that barack obama and mitt romney are both ok, but that newt gingrich is really a threat because he would be a genuine conservative, i think in the next 24 hours it will change. >> i don't believe that you think that george sorros' opinion will be an issue in a republican primary in florida. >> i think when you have a left-wing billionaire tell europeans that he thinks romney is just fine, because he's just as much a part of the establishment as obama, and that he can live with romney, and you look at gold man saks, the number one funder of obama, and now the number one funder of romney, i think it's easy to make the case that romney the manage the decay, not change washington. >> i have still not come to an
7:10 am
understanding of why so many people that worked with you are concerned about you being the nominee. this is not people from the establishment necessarily. these are people who were with you, including joe scarborough, tom delay, and others who were part of what the resolution that gingrich made. >> look, i can't imagine anybody in the news media is going to say tom delay. tom delay represented a fundamentally different approach to authority than i did. he got in enormous trouble for it. you can argue in many ways he was the architect of the 2006 disaster. i was a very tough speaker of the house. the fact is we balanced the federal budget. >> would you say the same thing about tom cobourne then? >> i think tom cobourne and i have genuine differences. he would not have compromised with bill clinton to get bills signed. i compromised, and as a result bills got signed. we signed a balanced budget act. the first tax cut in 16 years. welfare reform. lindsey graham is a good person to talk to. lindsey graham today will tell
7:11 am
you that his view of what it takes to govern is dramatically different than it was back in the 1990s because he's concluded that the things i did actually got something done. it wasn't just ideological posturing. but if you wanted a balanced budget, we did it for four years. >> i have to go now, speaker. thank you so much. hope to see you again. >> good. >> speaker gingrich from jacksonville. if gingrich is unable to pull off another comeback in florida, that gives romney a big advantage going into the next stage of the gop campaign. >> bob schieffer is watching it all from miami. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. i'm listening to that. >> tell me what's going on with newt gingrich at this moment, and how he's trying to define this election in florida and the rest of the primary process. >> well, what's happened to newt gingrich is he is suddenly the victim of unintended consequences. newt gingrich is a fine debater and built his whole campaign
7:12 am
about debating. but in south carolina, the romney people decided they had better hire a debate coach, so romney could do better in these debates. and lo and behold, he came in here to florida and suddenly became a good debater. newt gingrich has made mitt romney a good debater. i think that's one of the reasons that romney has surged. the other reason, and you never want to underestimate the impact of negative advertising. romney has just loaded up the television stations and the radio here with negative ads abou newt gingrich. it worked against gingrich way back there in iowa. and it is working here in florida. i don't think there's any doubt about that. >> and gingrich is going across florida saying, hey, it's wrong. they are lies, and it's not fair. >> well, he's trying to respond to it. and he has taken this attack. he is also now calling mitt romney a liberal.
7:13 am
he was calling him a moderate before. so he's elevated it up. i mean, that's the worst thing you can say about somebody in these republican primaries now, is to call them a liberal. and that's what gingrich is calling him. >> bob, on "face the nation" this weekend, the new one-hour "face the nation," a very interesting comparison for president obama. let's take a listen. >> we're going to talk about our own little captain schettino, which is president obama, who is abandoning the ship here in the united states and is more interested in campaigning than doing his job as president. >> what did you call president obama? >> i called him captain schettino, you know, the captain that fled the ship in italy. >> of course, talking about the captain of the costa concordia. bob, how is that playing? what kind of reaction is that getting from republicans? >> well, it certainly caught my attention when he said it. if you heard me, i said, what did you just say? because i wasn't quite sure he
7:14 am
said that. i think it raised a few eyebrows. but, you know this is where we are in this campaign right now. this thing has gotten really down and dirty. and it's bringing out a lot of things like that from all sides. and i don't think we've seen the last of it yet. these ads every day they get nastier. and i see no reason that -- or no indication that it's going to get any different. >> bob, there is this. in south carolina, newt gingrich made this anti-establishment, anti-elite narrative work for him. does that have traction in florida and throughout the rest of this process? >> well, so far, we haven't seen that. but i think, charlie, i think one of the most significant things that's happened is the day before yesterday, when sarah palin came out with that thing on her facebook where she really attacked mitt romney for the attacks that he was making on newt gingrich, called it stalinesque and all of that,
7:15 am
what that really shows you, i think, is the tea party still has not totally accepted mitt romney. there is still a great divide between the left and the right in the republican party right now. and that is why i think newt gingrich will hang around. until that's settled, i think he'll stay in this thing. >> thank you. in florida, a very different story this morning. part of interstate 75 south of gainesville is closed again after a horrific multivehicle pileup. 10 people were killed in sunday's crash. transportation correspondent mark straussman is in gainesville with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica and good morning to the west. both sides of i-75 were reopened and then closed again for 24 miles because of visibility issues. the same sort of smoke and fog that caused sunday's massive crash and this horrific scene could become a criminal investigation. the scene ran for one mile along
7:16 am
i-75. the burned out shells of up to 19 vehicles including seven tractor-trailers. in zero visibility conditions drivers headed into a deadly multicar pileup. >> as we were coming through the prairie, it went from crystal clear visibility to nothing in 50 feet. >> visibility was so poor that when rescuers first arrived on the scene, they could locate victims only by listening for moans and screams. throughout the day, firefighters sprayed foam on smoldering wreckage and used machinery to pry victims from vehicles. >> it was a very traumatic and frightening situation to be out there on i- 75 in the midst of that traffic hearing crashes, hearing explosions, hearing people scream. >> reporter: there are many unanswered questions, including whether the accident could have been avoided. drivers were blinded by a combination of fog and smoke caused by a nearby brush fire. and that fire may have been set intentionally.
7:17 am
visibility was so bad, officials had closed the highway for a time, but then decided to reopen it. and then disaster happened. >> we opened the road, visibility was good. good enough that we felt like travel was safe. we opened the roadway. and i don't know exact

7:32 am
outbursts. >> thera's mom brought her daughter to the hospital after she started involuntary ticking after an afternoon nap. since then the numbers have grown to 15 and all of them x except one, are girls. >> to the north of us here. >> over the weekend, the media craze surrounding the mystery grew when famous environmental activist erin brockovich sent one of her investigators to look for possible environmental causes. the team tested local groundwater samples for chemicals that they believe may be left over from a 1970 train derailment that spilled thousands of gallons of industrial solvent. both school and state health officials had already concluded a three-month investigation that determined no environmental or infectious agents could have caused the students' ticks. instead, local doctors who have examined 11 of the teens have determined the girls have a stress induced conversion disorder. it starts as a mental or
7:33 am
emotional crisis. a scary or stressful incident of some kind and converts to a physical problem. >> i think -- >> some parents refuse to accept the causes are purely psychological. >> even if it was conversion disorder and that was the symptoms of it, we don't know ha caused it. >> in their minds, the small town medical mystery is still very much unsolved. for "cbs this morning," michelle miller, new york. dr. jennifer mcvig is a pediatric neurologist. she's been seeing patients in this case since october. good morning. >> good morning. >> explain to me what conversion disorder is, why so many women are affected and why you think that this is the cause rather than environmental disorders as others have speculated. >> conversion disorder is the manifestation of psychological symptoms in a physical form.
7:34 am
so usually there's a stressor that's the onset. somebody has either a lifetime of many stressors that build up or one individual stressor and it kind of brings that out in a physical form. people have seizures or fainting spells. they can have blindness. ticks, loss of motor control. where they can't move a leg or an arm. that's how it comes out. >> what are the psychological disorders it might cause? >> anxiety, depression. >> anything? >> anything, yeah. >> why do you rule out environmental disorder as a possible cause? >> we've been working very closely with the new york state department of health. dr. greg young. they've done full testing of the school, the groundwater, the soil. the environment around the school. and the cdc has been brought in. he's been having discussions with them. from all that we've known, all of this has been cleared. >> you've as we mentioned been treating a number of these kids since october.
7:35 am
what are some -- you said anxiety. what are the specific stresses that you believe they told you about in their lives that led you to this diagnosis? >> i can't talk about specifics. only because of violations. i've been treating them since the summer. but it can be as easy as familial divorces within the family or something else at school. >> how close are all of these kids? are they facing the same stresses that there's this large group all having it? >> they don't all have the same stress. you can imagine as a 16, 17-year-old child or young adult, i should say, there are several stressors within the school situation. i should mention we do suspect that usually with conversion, this is actually mass psyche general i can illness as opposed to conversion disorder because of the fact there's so many people involved. this is what we're believing. usually with that there's an index case. we do believe that there's maybe one individual that may have true motor symptoms or have developed the conversion sort
7:36 am
precipitated the thing. >> erin brockovich is sending people to do what? >> i believe she has found the information about a train derailment that happened years ago and there was a feeling that there was a contamination that wasn't properly disposed of. i believe that. >> you said earlier, you don't think that that is a possible cause. >> i'm unsure if that actually happened. the train derailment. i'm sure that that happened in the history and if there's contamination, i don't believe this is the cause of this particular symptomatology with these particular girls. >> because you've talked to them and treated them? >> i've treated ten of them. >> right. >> thank you, dr. jennifer mcvig. thanks for coming in. you can serve healthy meals in school. but same thing at your kitchen table doesn't mean the kids will eat them. we'll look at what's happening in los angeles and find out why chef jamie oliver is knocking on fast food company. daniel radcliffe will be here tomorrow in studio 57. you're watching "cbs this morning."

8:04 am
>> it's really, really truly amazing. i think that what they're going to try to do -- obviously, the growth is going to slow down in terms of number of users. what they're going to try to do is get people more engaged. trying to get people to spend more and more time. the more time they spend on facebook, the more time the company makes. that's what's going to happen. >> but their success will be how they can use facebook as a selling vehicle. >> that's right. and you know, initially mark zuckerberg and the other people at facebook resisted making it overly commercial because they saw what happened to myspace. they wanted to gain people's trust and get them to be a part of the community. now that they've done that, they want people to be on it more and monotize it. >> although, trust is turning out to be a sticky point for them. many people are interested in seeing this filing because there are more things they want to know about the company. what are we expecting to learn from these filings, and how will that affect things going forward? >> you're right.
8:05 am
people will be poring through these documents. they're going to learn about salaries. how are the relationships between the companies that do business with facebook? what do those look like? how do people get paid? >> one of the big issues coming up, and this was on the cover of your magazine, was this race between google and facebook. how will that play itself out? >> you know, that's really interesting because google represents the data-driven web, search. facebook maintains they are the nur new, the social web. that means that previously we've use the the web to find things. now facebook wants to change the web and have it be a place where you engage your friends and community and you find things through facebook, through social. in other words, instead of just typing in a word, you ask your friends on facebook. the other thing is, google search doesn't really work in
8:06 am
facebook. so it's a whole separate world, which drives the people on go google nuts. >> so the four-letter word becomes like. >> yes, exactly. and there's linkedin and twitter. but facebook is the king. >> i said before, i can do the basics. you just said something interesting. the more time you spend on facebook, the manufacture money they make. how is that possible? what do you mean by that? >> well, because the more opportunities facebook has for you to click on, say, pepsi's new little viral marketing campaign that sits there on the right-hand side and recommend other things to other people that causes them to, you know, click on a little mars candy thing or engage with some other company in some other way. >> and are people clicking? i look at the ads and i find them annoying. are people looking at the ads? clearly, they are. >> they are looking at the ads more than just, say, the ads that were on, you know, on
8:07 am
websites where people click. those don't work as well. because there's so much viral stuff that goes on on facebook and so many cutesy videos, the youtube things, incorporating those ad campaigns into really cool stuff like the old spice guy. things like that, people love that stuff. >> the other thing that gives facebook is money to make acquisitions. is there any sense of what the great vision for the future is? >> the great vision of the future is to connect the whole planet through facebook. you know, you've heard mark say that, charlie. i really think he believes that. he's still only 28 years old. i

florida. all the sunshine and the sandy beaches reminds him of the country where he keeps his money. >> ouch. before you buy anything online, you probably check those online reviews to see what other consumers have to say. we know that companies often put up fake reviews praising themselves. now the "new york times" reports that some companies pay customers to praise their products. financial contributor carmen ulrich is here. i have to be honest, didn't know companies did that, that they put up fake reviews. i'm reading it. me, who's a sucker for an infomercial. i didn't know legit companies would do that. how common of a practice is it? >> it's incredibly common. as much as celebrities tweeting the products they like. here's the thing. the "times" uncovered that basically a manufacturer was offering incentives for folks to put down five-star reviews for the cover of an amazon kindle. up to 300 reviews were up.
8:19 am
let me give you an example. the piece actually costs $59.99. they'd give you a rebate so it only costs $10. they would say, we will refund your order in exchange for a review. we strive to earn 100% perfect, five-star reviews from you. this is a very fine line that a lot of folks are on. the fdc really tried to crack don on this, especially back in 2009, because there's a big difference between editorial and advertorial. if you don't disclose there's a relationship between the person reviewing and the vendor. >> it's so misleading. >> you mentioned this fine line with the fdc. typically, people are starting to realize that sometimes the reviews they see may not be on the up and up and there could have been some incentive. how prevalent is it? >> here's the thing. the fdc has trouble to crackdown
8:20 am
on this. it's up to the consumer. it's up to us to pay attention to these reviews and see and try to find out and discover what's real. a study was found and on average, we can attribute 50 to 60% of fake reviews as fake. we're not that great at it. there are things you can do and look out for to make sure these are hopefully not fake reviews. for example, you can click on the reviewer's name to see what other reviews they have out there. if they've reviewed five different types of stoves, the chances are they probably don't have five stoves. also, the time stamp. you want to see when they're put up. if they were all put up within five minutes, maybe it's a whole office. you want to be careful about that. and look at language. if the language is so iffusive. there's no downside to it. chances are, it's probably not real. >> i had an interesting thing over christmas. i just tweeted, just left banana

8:41 am
difference, but i would have been steve. i would have talked like this i guess, chewed gum and worn jeans. driven a mustang when i was 17. instead of being what i am embarrassingly called the quintessential english man without being the quintessential american. the differences, similarities and if you like, sort of clashes between the american and the english way of doing things utterly fascinating. i put to the bbc, it was never done on british television, somebody to visit every 50 of the states. there is no one america. you ask a mainer who he likes and it's different to a north dakotan or a floridian or an oregonian. norwegian to a belgium. they're all different countries. it was a fascinating experience. >> even though -- it aired on the bbc. so a lot of americans didn't see it. >> i know. strange that. >> so fame levelwise, you're this enormous star in the uk, a
8:42 am
lot of people wonder when you might take over america. >> i don't know about that. i've left that to my partner, hugh laurie. photographs in the background. >> talk about that friendship, too. >> i was very lucky. after an extremely childhood which involved expulsion from a number of schools and imprisonment i managed to get a scholarship to cambridge university. i would quietly grow tweed in the corner and write books on shakespeare which is my great passion. and i was introduced in my second week to this girl who i had seen on stage. she was a first year like me but she had opinion in a play already. it was travesties. i looked at her name in the program and said who is this e. thompson. somebody said emma thompson. we became good friends. you said you should try out. natural actor. i started to be in plays with them. she then introduced me -- you got to meet this guy. he's in the -- she made the

8:44 am
channels. the hideous prospect of i will prisonment and men in rain coats and horrible stories in newspapers. so i discovered through literature that i was not alone. there were extraordinary giants, whether michelangelo or oscar wild. i can say i can't be that ashamed. so it gave me, in a sense, literacy and the love of literature, a love of reading in a way just to vindicate myself. but in the end, it's language. i mean most of my mu humor and insight. my motto is how can i tell you what i think until i heard what i'm going to say. >> who used to say that? somebody wrote me a note. >> the friday chronicles, he's in the movies. he has a lot to say because his core competence is language. >> love it. >> thank you. >> thank you, charlie. it was a pleasure. >> ed burns has a golden movie career and super model wife.

also like newlywed, the new one which is about your family, about your neighborhood and this love affair with new york city. it's the magic formula. >> yeah. you know, it was never the plan. but it's been 17 years and it's a tough business. there are highs and lows. it's just a matter of trying to navigate it and figure it out. i think i've been lucky enough to find this formula that works. i get to act in these studio films and you do a few paul newman had a great quote talking about his choices. saying one for them, one for me. that's what i've tried to adopt here. i'll do the acting gigs, that helps finance or give me the creative freedom to do indie film. >> it only cost 7 -- >> $9,000. >> i thought that was a typo actually. i rereally did. it was 25. i thought it was a typo. >> it is the most exciting time rye now. if you're a kid coming out of
8:50 am
film school, when i was trying to make mcmullen, it was hard. that point of entry was so tough because that film cost 25 and it was just tough to get those films made. these digital cameras now, we shot this film on a camera that i bought for $3,000. the look of the film, mcmullen looks like a gritty, grainy student film. this film looks like a professional film. if you're a kid coming out of film school now, in the way that a novelest needed the typewriter or the canvas for the painter. it's exciting. >> the technology, technology more accessible and more -- ease remember to buy for some people. it's other social networking. you've embraced twitter and this has helped you in terms of your professional life. >> i've used twitter for a couple of things. you're making micro budgeted films. you don't have the marketing budget like a film like man on a
