starbucks ceo howard schultz is here. >> i'm erica hill. why is jetblue pilot clayton osbon still behind bars? plus, the megamillions mystery that gets stranger by the day. first as we do every morning, we begin with a look at today's eye opener. your world in 90 seconds. chaos on a california campus. after a gunman goes on a rampage. seven people are dead and three more are fighting to survive. >> police arrested the suspect at a nearby shopping center. the oakland tribune said he told someone he had shot people and that he needed to be arrested. >> he came here specifically to kill people. he was upset at the administration for the way he's been treated. >> we knew that april would be a very tough month for us. >> rick santorum tries to stop a primary sweep. >> maryland, wisconsin and district of columbia head to the polls. >> as front runner keeps his eye on the white house.

>> he said if he couldn't turn the economy around in three years he would look at a one-term proposition. i take him at his word. >> champions 2012. >> this is about the big blue nation. >> the call for calm in lexington, kentucky. >> there have been dozens of arrest. one person was founded by gunfire. >> james murdoch has stepped aside as chairman of bskyb. >> a driver in norway had a lucky escape after he survived a 200-foot drop down a snow covered cliff. >> all that -- >> now you turned 90. >> still just as horny as i've ever been. >> and all that matters. >> a worker at a mcdonald's in baltimore says she's the winner. >> does that smell fishy to you? >> on "cbs this morning." >> when asked about her job at mcdonald's, she was like -- i'm
7:03 am
leaving it. captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning." we have chilling new details about the mass shooting that killed seven people at oikos university, a religious college in oakland, california. >> witnesses say the gunman opened fire in a classroom telling students get in line. i'm going to kill you all. that suspect is in custody this morning. national correspondent lee cowen is at the scene. lee, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, guys. good morning to our viewers in the west. we're learning a little bit more about what may have been going through the shooter's mind. police say he's identified as 43-year-old one l. goh. he told investigators last night he was apparently upset at being expelled from the school. he was a former student here. he was expelled for behavioral reasons. he told investigators last night that he came to the school looking for a school administrator. she wasn't here. so instead he turned the gun on anyone he could find. students, workers at the school, some of them he shot at
7:04 am
pointblank range. witnesses say it was over almost as fast as it began. a hail of bullets in a classroom and it didn't stop there. >> officers found several victims throughout the classroom, throughout the building. there were several people hiding in locked buildings and doors behind desks. >> reporter: it was a slaughter. seven people killed. three others were wounded. witnesses say it could have been much worse had the gunman been able to get into a second classroom but a student had locked the door and turned out the lights. outside bodies lay on the grass while s.w.a.t. teams combed the body for more even as shots were being fired. >> get down! get down! >> reporter: art richards was across the street and captured the shots on his cell phone. >> when the shots rung out, i got down. i wasn't trying to be in no cross fire or none of the above.
7:05 am
>> reporter: police say when shooting ended, goh stole a car and drove to a nearby safeway and calmly surrendered to police. his motive is still a mystery. >> this is the kind of incident that hurts the whole community and will leave the community asking questions for a long time. >> reporter: the private, christian school oikos university specializes in everything from nursing to asian medicine and caters largely to the korean community in oakland. whatever may have led to one of the former students to snap, police say until now there was no indication of any violence in his past. so far no charges have been filed but the district attorney say those charges could come sometime today or sometime tomorrow morning but they are confident the former student at this school was their one and only suspect in this shooting. charlie, erica, back to you guys. >> lee cowen, thank you very much. a big day in the republican presidential race. wisconsin, maryland and district of columbia are holding their primaries today.
7:06 am
>> the key prize here is wisconsin where mitt romney is trying to put rick santorum behind him for good. national correspondent chip reid is in milwaukee. chip, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. good morning to our viewers in the west. yes, mitt romney would love to put rick santorum behind him. the problem is santorum isn't cooperating. he says no matter what happens here in wisconsin, he's staying in the race and now a new dose of bad news for romney in the head to head contest with president obama. in green bay, wisconsin, monday, mitt romney blamed president obama for economic hardships faced by women including the poor. >> he's responsible for the fact that 30% of single moms are living in poverty with their families. 30%. >> reporter: romney's focus on women follows the release of a new poll in a dozen battleground states that shows the president surging to a nine-point lead, 51% to 42%. a month earlier romney led in those states by two points. what's behind the obama surge?
7:07 am
women under 50. in february 49% of them supported the president. in march, 61%. during that time, romney's support among women under 50 plummeted from 44% to 30%. before he gets to president obama, romney still has to get past rick santorum. >> we might pull off an upset tomorrow in wisconsin. what do you think? republican calls to get out of the race, santorum says a long drawn out process would be good for the party. >> i think it would be an energizing thing for our party. a candidate emerge who isn't the blessed candidate of the republican establishment. >> reporter: santorum's latest campaign ad shows he's refusing to heed calls from republicans to stop attacking romney. instead he's ratcheting up his rhetoric comparing romney with obama. >> what if i told you he dramatically raised taxes and sent taxpayers with a $1 million shortfall. what if i told you the name i'm
7:08 am
talking about isn't him? it's him. >> reporter: "the new york times" today called that ad the political equivalent of the nuclear option and with santorum hitting that hard, the romney campaign has no choice but to hit back. charlie and erica? >> chip reid, thank you very much. with us now, david axelrod. good morning, david. >> good morning, charlie. >> the president today had a message for the supreme court or yesterday. tell me what he is saying when he talks about judicial activism and if he's trying to send a message to the court as it considers this case. >> i don't think he's trying to send a message, charlie. he was answering a question about what his reaction to last week's proceedings. the president believes the supreme court will affirm the law because in keeping with their precedent, not to overturn a law that congress passed of this magnitude certainly on a 5-4 sort of vote. he was just expressing his
7:09 am
opinion on that. the bigger issue and the one the president addressed is what ramifications of such a decision would be in terms of the lives of millions of americans who already are enjoying the benefits of that program. 2.5 million young people on their parents' insurance up to age of 26. tens of millions of people getting preventive carefree as part of their insurance coverage now because of this law. people who don't face lifetime caps on their insurance when they get seriously ill. seniors who are getting more help with prescription drugs. all of that also is in jeopardy here. the president spoke to the human dimension of this. >> there's also this interview yesterday or sunday with bob schieffer, vice president joe biden said a number of times consistently that mitt romney is out of touch. if romney is the nominee, is that going to be the mantra of the campaign by president obama? >> i think it's going to be the
7:10 am
concern of the american people. you have a guy who wants to go back to the same policies that got us into this disaster. he wants to cut taxes for the very wealthy. cut wall street loose to write its own rules and somehow this is going to produce prosperity for americans. we have tested that. it's failed and in his basic orientation toward these economic issues, he seems to be oblivious to the experiences of every day people. he said we should just let the housing market bottom out. we should have let wall street go bankrupt and so on. just day after day you hear these things. that's one of the reasons why as chip reported his numbers have plummeted over the course of this primary campaign. >> he is speaking out more strongly and as you also heard in chip's piece, he believes the president is to blame for the number of single mothers living in poverty. how do you respond to that? >> well, i think the american
7:11 am
people will respond to that as it deserves. the notion that he's going to heap the entire responsibility for the collapse of the economy in 2008 on the president is ludicrous. we're working through problems that were developed over a period of years. it's going to take time to get through them. we're making progress. the last thing we want to do is go back to the very policies that got us into this jam in the first place. you know, erica, this is -- romney seems to look at the world through the rearview mirror. he wants to go back to the policies of the last decade on economics and on other stuff, i mean, he says russia is our greatest foe and thinks employers out to decide whether women can get contraceptive coverage and not any employer. he thinks if we just drill for more oil that will solve our energy problems. no higher fuel efficiency standards. no renewables. i think he must watch "mad men" and think it's the evening news.
7:12 am
he's just in a time warp. >> 2012 race is coming up obviously we're in the midst of that. one question about 2016. speaker pelosi was with me last night. she said her candidate is hillary clinton. she hopes hillary clinton will run. the president said -- former president said yesterday that he would be happy if she ran. do you expect that she'll be a nominee and will be a candidate for president in 2016? >> well, if she ran she would be a very formidable candidate. i'm sure she'll be an early front runner for that race. she's done a spectacular job as secretary of state. she's been a little more about this than everyone else. she's worked hard over the last four years and probably wants and certainly deserves a break from this. if hillary clinton decided to run, she would be a very, very formidable. my concern is the american people's concern right now is this election. we've got a lot of great challenges to face.
7:13 am
we're working our way through them. we don't want to go back. thinks everybody can wait a little while to play the speculation game about hillary. >> david, you are clearly right. at the same time you've been there and you know what presidential races are like and after discussing the issues, it seems like an interesting question to raise at this time. i hope to see a lot of you during this campaign season. >> good to be with you. look forward to it. las vegas is no stranger to wild spending sprees but it's not supposed to happen at a government conference on the taxpayers' dime. bill plante says a scathing new report cost three top officials their job. >> reporter: good morning to our viewers in the west. this is a huge embarrassment for the administration. the general services administration is the government's landlord and procurement officer. it's supposed to lead the way in showing the government how to be efficient and cut costs. didn't work in this case.
7:14 am
the report is jaw dropping. it details page after page of over the top spending by the general services administration. more than $100,000 just to plan the four-day las vegas conference for 300 people. 24 bikes for a team building exercise cost the agency $75,000. one reception cost $31,000. more than $100 a person. the entertainment any conference included a mind reader and also a gsa employee dressed in a rented clown suit and by some accounts a comedian. the conference cost $822,000. taxpayer watchdog groups are appall appalled. president obama isn't happy either. his chief of staff said the president is outraged. he started a program with the vice president in charge to cut government waste. the president even asked agencies to review money spent on conferences.
7:15 am
>> one of the commitments that i made to the american people was that we would do a better job here in washington in rooting out wasteful spending. >> reporter: martha johnson, head of the general services administration, was supposed to help the president keep that commitment. here's what she said last year. >> people are coming in with a lot of energy to figure out ways of saving money and saving resources and getting rid of waste in the system. >> reporter: instead johnson has now stepped down and two others have been fired leaving the government with a mess to clean up. >> these are the sort of things that resonate and stick with people that makes them mad. it should make them mad. >> reporter: one person it's likely to stick with is mitt romney. you can expect to hear more about this in the campaign. the agency says that in addition to the firings, it has put four other people on administrative leave. others could lose their jobs. it also says that it has changed its accounting practices. charlie, erica? >> bill plante, thanks. there's new fallout over britain's phone hacking scandal.
7:16 am
james murdoch confirmed he would step down as chairman of bskyb. he faces heavy criticism over his handling of the hacking scandal. turning to last night's big game. kentucky basketball fans celebrated their victory over kansas things did turn violent. after the win thousands took to the streets near the campus in lexington, kentucky. one man was shot. dozens arrested overnight. police say an argument led to the shooting. the victim is in serious condition this morning. and police are looking for that gunman. >> we still do not know who won the record megamillion jackpot but around baltimore people cannot stop talking about the woman who said she won. this morning lottery officials suspect her story may be a hoax.
7:17 am
>> reporter: mirlande wilson's claim to a piece of the megamillions jackpot has brought more scrutiny than currency. >> i don't know what's going on. >> reporter: the single mother of seven told the new york post that she won the megamillions lottery but has since clammed up after her co-workers at mcdonald's accused her of reneging on an office lottery pool. are they fighting with you? >> yes. >> reporter: she told the new york post the winning ticket was bought not with a pool. the two other winning tickets were sold in northeast kansas and a town called red bud, illinois. the three winners, if they come forward, will split a record $656 million jackpot. maryland's mystery winner would walk away with about $105 million after taxes. >> until someone comes forward with the ticket, we continue to wait just like everyone else. >> reporter: that's maryland's
7:18 am
lotto director steven martino who says he doesn't know who won. the winning tickets was sold at this 7-eleven less than four hours before the drawing and the purchase was captured on surveillance video but several men and women bought tickets around the same time so it's difficult to make out the winner and because maryland doesn't require lottery winners go public, the winner could remain a mystery forever. >> it is time to show you some of this morning's headlines from around the globe. pakistan's daily times reports that osama bin laden's three widows and two daughters face two more weeks in jail in pakistan. yesterday they were found guilty on immigration charges. officials say they will be released at the end of the month and then deported. orlando sentinel reports five people were hurt last night when an experimental plane

this video is crazy. a truck got stuck on this icy road in norway. they sent a tow truck to move it. as you can see from the video, it didn't work out so well. both trucks slid nearly 200 feet down a mountainside. as the tow truck driver jumped out. thankfully we can tell you both drivers are okay. don't know that i'd be going back on that road any time soon. welcome back to "cbs this morning." jetblue captain clayton os mon. we have the story of his first
7:31 am
story. john miller has more. >> the pictures tell a story of a troubled man surrounded by a small group of family, friends, and co-workers. this is the first we receive of clayt clayt clayton os bun out of the plane. he's been under going psychiatric tests. his wife connye was con forted by friends. captain was on his way to his first court appearance where he would be formally presented with federal charges that he interfered with his own flight crew. along with his wife fellow employers with there. a magistrate will decide on thursday whether to release him on bail.
7:32 am
prosecutors have requested that osbon remain in jail because of the violent nature of his crime, adding there are no conditions of release which will reasonably assure the safety of any other person and the community. if convicted, osbon faces up to 20 years in prison. >> flight 491, we're going have to go to into amarillo. we have an emergency at this time. we're going to need priority and need a few minutes. >> reporter: sources tell cbs news that doctors have not yet given a medical opinion to investigators or to jetblue as to what caused the pilot's bizarre behavior in the cockpit or in the cabin where he had to be subdued with the help of passengers. that will be a key factor in determining whether osbon makes bail. >> so here's the question. what happens on thursday? >> well, thursday is going to be, i guess, a much more interesting day than yesterday because that's when the government has to put its cards on the table and say, this is
7:33 am
why we think he should or shouldn't be released. right now they're saying he shouldn't be released, here's why we think he's dangerous and the defense will have to counter with here's what we learned from the doctors at the hospital. this is why we think he's okay. under normal standards, he's great candidate for bail because the standard is he likely to commit the same crime again, is he a danger to others, and short of him getting into an airplane and having this problem continue, it's unlikely. i think thursday we'll probably get our first glimpse at what the doctors at the hospital determined what went wrong with him. >> when will we have access to what was said in the voice recorder? >> it will be a long time for us. if there's a trial, they'll play that there. that will be what goes along with the co-pilot's testimony. i doubt as i sit here right now projecting forward, given the medical issues here, that this will ever go to trial. >> do you think that there will be some sort of a settlement or because of what we find out
7:34 am
metticlmet mettic -- medically -- >> i think you hittist there. if they can make a good enough case that, a, it was a medical proble, and, b, he didn't know right from wrong, the charges go away. you're also following closely the trayvon martin case. there's been talk since day one, why hasn't there been an arrest and where the investigation stands right now. does it change anything in terms of an arrest or investigation when there is so much public scrutiny about the way things are being done? >> we cannot ignore the reality that it puts pressure on the special prosecutor, but this issing two conflicting things. if the special prosecutor is going to go about this right, she's going to redo the investigation from scratch and go beyond that from a new independent team of investigators. if they do it the right way, that's going to take time and they've got to push back on the political pressure. one thing that happened, they could throw it to the grand jury and let 23 citizens decide. the other thing that could
7:35 am
happen and this is what she's indicate shed wants to do. she'll look at the evidence after the reinvestigation and make the call herself. >> which is she more likely to do, do you think? >> make the call herself or throw it to a the grand jury? because it's safer for her to throw it to the grand jury, isn't it? >> it is but because everything is a little counterintuitive, if she puts it in the grand jurks everything is secret. there would be accusations that in the grand jury they threw the case. if she makes the call herself, then at least she knows what she's getting, and then a real jury can decide in public under public scrutiny. >> john, thanks. the university of kentucky is college basketball's top team, and we're going to speak with clark kellogg's big game that he called. and james cameron of "the titanic." we'll talk to him.

superior team all season long, a superior team tonight, and the kentucky coronation is complete. champions 2012! >> as we reported earlier, kentucky survived a serious kansas comeback to win the ncaa championship. it is their eighth national title, their first in 14 years. >> cbs analyst clark kellogg this morning. good morning. >> good morning, charlie and erica, great to be with you today. >> how does this compare to the ncaa winners? >> i tell you, as far as going back 16 years ago when kentucky won, i compare this team, the 2012 version, favorably to that
7:41 am
'96 version. balanced, versatile. the most impressive thing outside of its talent was its togetherness. this was really a team all season long, unselfish, and everybody contributed last night nguyening the championship this year. he's not only a good recruiter but a winning coach? >> he didn't have to prove it to me, charlie and erica. this is obviously validation of that. but he gets guys that are highly talented, supremely talented to play together, to be unselfish, to play hard, to get after it defensively, and that to me has always been the mark of an outstanding coach, and john has been there throughout his college career, and now he's got a national championship to maybe quiet some of the critics. >> some of those critics we'll talk a little bit about. we mention his recruiting practice and his whole idea of one and done and there's more
7:42 am
than one play oren this team expected to be drafted. of course, anthony davis, that everyone is talking about. how does that affect college basketball? >> you know, it's interesting. it's nba rule that requires a player to be removed from high school for one year or more before he's draft eligible. kids who have left right out of high school have gone on to college for the last six or seven years, a small number. but john calipari is about trying to serve elite basketball players while they're at the university of kentucky. that's his focus. he recruits the best player his e can get, he molds them into a team that's looking to pursue a championship. and if they're ready or he feels they're ready to move on one year or two, he'll encourage them to do that. it's not ideal, but it's not outside of the rules, and john calipari has embraced that, unlike any other coach in college basketball. >> and how many of his players will go in the first round?
7:43 am
>> he's got -- i think his top six players are all nba-caliber players. of those six, charlie and erica, four, maybe five would be first rounders for sure. perhaps auld six could be. but i would certainly say at least four. >> anthony davis, we mentioned him. he is remarkably gifted as an athlete. i have rarely seen such athleticism on the part of a college player. >> he's unique, charlie. he was late being a player. 6'2" a few years ago, had a growth spurt and is remarkable. i've watched him. his poise and his discipline, he is really beyond his years in his understanding on testify game and his patience and poise and december palestinian out there on the court, and he's a winner. he's all about his team and
7:44 am
doing whatever's necessary to get his team to win. we sat down with president obama. he's a huge fan. but he got a little more personal. i want to play a piece from that interview. >> watching them play, i want them to do so well. and when something goes right, it is more joy than i ever got. >> no question about it. >> talking there about his daughters sasha and malia, something i'm sure you can relate to, too, watching kids out there. >> no question about it. we had the pleasure of watching our son nick playing for ohio university. nick, a prominent player, a key player, for my wife and i his & his older brother and sister and other family members it was exciting, fun, gave you feelings of pride, joy, gratitude, and more importantly, he's handling his business pretty well off the court, and that's what mom and dad are most proud of.
7:45 am
but it was fun to watch him between the lines as well. >> i think if i remember you played with the president at the it week system sliding through, and if you showers as we head into the afternoon. right now a lot of clouds out

welcome back to "cbs this morning." i'm gayle king. >> i'm charlie rose with erica hill. howard schultz is credited to making starbucks the number one chain in america. ec spooing out on political gridlock in washington. today he's launching a fund to create more jobs in the united states. >> good morning. >> what do you think this can do to create more jobs. this is a big problem in the country. what do you think you can do? >> let's frame the fact. there are over 13 million americans unemployed. a large percentage of hispanics and cafrican-americans and we'r celebrating 8.3% unemployment as a victory. i just can't allow that. so what i'm trying to do is ask the question how can business and specifically, starbucks, use its scale for good.
8:02 am
>> ask a question or demand some kind of performance by business to create jobs? >> i think we can't demand performance. what we're trying to do is show other people that business can make a difference and we don't want to wait for washington. so in the last few months we've asked customers to donate $5 for this wrist band. there are 500,000 people in america wearing this wrist band. starbucks has given $5 million, and multiplied by seven, and today google and banana republic are joining us, and i think over time you'll see other like-minded company, but the real question is the ideology, the partisanship, and i think the lens that everyone is looking through re-election has created a situation where we're not getting anything done. >> and that you've spoken about. i have to ask you about that money because it sounds great. 500,000 people spending $5 to wear this bracelet. how is that helping create jobs
8:03 am
and employ people? >> okay. so what we found is that there's a network across america of small banks that lend money, low-interest loans and this network, we were able to have across the country. we're taking the money that we've raised. we're putting it in the hands of small banks. one of the fallacies in america right now are banks are lending right now. they're not. despite the t.a.r.p. money and the 65% of all businesses in america create these jobs, we're getting the money in the hands of small banks, lending it to small businesses and creating jobs in start-ups and existing businesses and in fact, 80% of the money we raised has already been out, and we can document with great transparency where the money is going and the jobs that are being created. >> we were talking earlier about social and political responsibility in the end of last year, 2011. you called on business leaders and you yourself said i'm not going to donate to any political candidate and in the past you've
8:04 am
donated to both. you said i'm not doing it this time, why, howard? and what do you hope to accomplish with that? >> last year when we saw the debacle take place and saw a crisis of leadership and a crisis of confidence in america, i just thought, if $6 billion will be spent on the presidential election cycle, $6 billion, isn't there something seriously wrong with the country to allow this to go on and not do anything? and so we asked 150 like-minded ceos from both sides of the aisle to join us, and we stopped donating to incumbent, and we did it with civility and respect. i think american people know that there's something not right right now, and i just don't think we can continue to stand by and be a bystander. so starbucks, which is a for-profit business and we understand that. we're a public company, but i also think we have to embrace the conscience of our company, and in a sense, establish a balance between profitability and responsibility.
8:05 am
>> go ahead. >> have any other candidates reached out to you to say hey, let's talk about this or -- >> i did hear from the president. we had a very respectful conversation. he understood what i was doing, and i think we were able to describe the fact that we just feel we can't be a bystander and he accepted it. >> what did he plan to do based on the conversation you had? is there an action plan coming from the white house? >> no, there wasn't. >> are you hiring today? >> not only are we hiring, charlie, we announced we're building a new coffee roasting facility in augusta, georgia, and we'll build a porcelain plant to make stoneware for products and despite the fact that these would cost less overseas, we made a decision that was somewhat less profitable to build a new facility to create jobs. >> do you think other companies ought to follow suit in the same way. -- creative ways to expand and
8:06 am
hire people and find jobs. >> the fact that we're down to 9 million manufacturing jobs in america and we have 30 million people working for government, it's time for american business to do its part. >> is there any pushback from investors who say that's really not why we invested in starbucks. we want to see you make lots of money so that the stock price will go up. and not social responsibility. >> you can do it cheaper overseas. >> i think there would be, but the company in the last 12 months has had record revenue and record profits and the stock was at an all-time high. in large part because we demonstrated that we created value for the shareholders and at the same time embracing values of social responsibility. >> doing good for america is doing good for business. >> exactly right. >> i love the message that it sends, and i have to ask you about, there's a big brouhaha about the strawberry frappucchino. you know where i'm going, howard! the strawberry frappucchino -- >> all right. >> i know it's not as grisly as
8:07 am
it sounds. >> no good deeds any undone. >> maybe grisly is too strong a word. creepy. >> we tried to embrace an all-natural method for this product. in fact, we discovered that most women in america who are wearing red lipstick -- >> what are you talking about, willis? you're saying it's everywhere. >> it's a crushed up beetle that you use for food coloring it. >> we are examining and will probably reformulate it.& >> there's some uproar, because if you get a strawberry frappucchino it's no longer vegan. would you investigate beets or sweet potatoes. >> don't worry. >> this is from a reese not piece that i read about you overseas, nearly a decade after venturing, starbucks is still laboring to lure people to drink your coffee, despite engineering
8:08 am
strong -- a strong turnaround in the u.s. and then growing steadily in asia which starbucks is still a novelty. the company struggled here on the continent to give birth -- to the country they gave birth to cafe and coffeehouse cultures. >> that's true. the success we're having especially in china, we have struggled in europe on the continent. in large part the economic environment there is so tough, but we're in there for the long run. >> good. >> and employees still get their health insurance. >> we've provided health insurance for almost 20 years.

healthy fried food. contrary to just about everything we've thought about the dangers of fried food, turns out it's not always so harmful. according to a new study, eating fried foods even on a regular basis does not necessarily lead directly to heart disease. it's the type of oil used that really matters. >> researchers in spain followed 40,000 people for 14 years and found the amount of oil they consumed made no significant difference in heart disease, but here's the thing. in spain people tend to fry fresh in unsaturated sunflower oil and this is the benefit of switching from saturated fats like butter, lard and palm oil. but don't heat up that deep fryer just yet. fried foods do contain more k l calories and are often loaded with salt. if you node a fried food fix, consider a switch to olive or sunflower oil or just have

wake up this morning and welcome. welcome back to "cbs this morning." we all know how important it is to take control of your life. that's easy to talk about but not so easy to do. >> you have to do it. educator and business consultant stedman graham lays out a step-by-step process to reach your goals. it is in his latest book called "identity: your passport to succe success." >> we want it, so help us. >> most people are stuck in a box. >> that's in every way, not at in terms of the television box. >> they're stuck in a box doing the same thing over and over.
8:31 am
if you do the same thing as yesterday, what do you do? nothing. the educational system teaches you how to memorize and take a test. if you're asked two weeks later what have you got, nothing. nothing plus nothing is nothing. so i con temded you have 6.5 billion people who don't know who they are. that i have no process for organizing their life. >> the population of the world. >> they have 24 hours. that's what makes you equal. the question is how you organize the 24 hours around yourself so you can be a learner. >> but stedman, you talk northbound the book about for many years you didn't know who you were. you were very candid about that. you talk about labels, self-imposed, some of them and labels that others put on you. growing up, what were some of the ways you were labeled and how that led you to your journey -- >> i had a race-based conscience, i thought it was about race and the government.
8:32 am
you turn your power over to them to define who you are. wrong. secondly i thought it was about two disabled brothers. i thought it was about my family. wrong. and my relationship with oprah, you know, people put me in the box, you know, they define me by who she is, and she's a wonderful person and great woman, but that's not -- i'm not oprah. that's who she is. that's not me. wrong. and so the ability to be able to, again, not be defined by your race, your family, your gender, your religion, your house, your car, your job, your relationship, all those things that are socially constructed to make your think that's who you are so that the world can control the way you think. and so the process of developing yourself is a leadership process, which is you've got to transform your thinking from a follower to a leader, from a consumer to a producer, from a slave to an owner, especially in
8:33 am
the 21st century. >> but then how do you -- because as you point out -- we're sew focused on defining ourselves by these titles and categories that are out there, whether i'm a journalist, i'm a mother, a wife, a woman. how do you break away from what we've so long established is, in fact, our identity, to figure out who you are? >> well, you take control of your development. and the way the system is set up, it's hard to really learn. if you're memorizing, taking tests, repeating information bar back, and then you can't source information relevant to your talents, your skills, your passions, what you love. so it's more of an external process, which is how we define ourselves as opposed to an intarrant development process of taking the 24 hours, taking information, the world is a collection of unlimited wealth of information and making that information relevant or sourcing that information so it's compartmentalized in your family, in your spiritual life, in your hobbies, in your skills,
8:34 am
in your talents, in your strength so you can develop yourself. >> so part of that you say is really looking what we read and how that influences -- >> a lot of information today. what are we doing with the information? we're texting all day long. what are we talking about? nothing. >> the central point here is you have to be active in finding out who you are. you have to be active in finding out yourself. it's a proactive process to get there. >> charlie, exactly right up. you have to be conscious. so what i'm doing with this book, identity, is to get people conscious of the in fact you have an identity and not a socially constructed box that people put you in, that label you, that define your existence, your destiny, your family, and who you are. >> you talk a lot, too, stedman, i've heard you over the years, about vision and leadership. over the years, oprah and i talk, vision and leadership, and then the other day i heard, wow, stedman is on to vision and
8:35 am
leadership? she's such an "i told you so" person. >> you have a vision for the united states of america. they're lost. you have a -- >> wait a second. we have to relish in this, stedman, because it's so rare that oprah admits that, you know, maybe she was wrong. so it with us areal sweet moment the other day when she said maybe stedman is onto with something with vision and leadership. >> the good book says where there is no vision, the people perish. so if you can't see beyond your box, then you're going to be in poverty for the rest of your life. you're going to be stuck and the reason you're stuck, you're doing the same thing over and over which give get use the same results. >> when she brings you these kind of handwritten notes, you've got to watch out. >> she's good. you're prepared. >> you always say success is a process. >> right brain is emotional, right brain is big picture, right brain is vision. i need process to succeed. when i discovered that, i said,
8:36 am
oh, my goodness, and having a sports background, which is more structured, said, okay, for my success, i have to have process and structure. i have to force myself to do that. >> you also have to live in the moment. so everybody watching that wants stedman to tell us about his oprah. >> does she snore? >> i think everyone wants to know. >> that's not the question i was thinking. >> everyone wants to know. >> she's from mississippi, abused as a child, a black woman who's now a billionaire, self-made, okay. in this country that's socially constructed not to exactly celebrate your success, okay. that's a milestone. and to be a woman on top of that. and so i mean this is a person who's been number one for 25 years. every book that she has put on the shelf has gone to bestseller. she has her own network.
8:37 am
she's from cause yes co-mississippi. >> it's an easy thing. >> you talk about someone who has talent, skills and smart, she's been able to put that together beyond the labels based on a socially construct prod says that tries to keep her down and has kept people down year after year after year after year after year. >> and o.w.n. isn't where it wants to be right now but i'm not counting her out and neither are you. >> no. it's a process. you can't come in and build an organization and create it in six months. >> as you say, progress begins one step at a time. >> first is understand who you are. >> second is listen to your time cues or you get in trouble and you get fired. stedman graham. thank you for coming by. his book is available in stores
