the one you always do. >> it is early. >> thanks everyone, enjoy your crispy cream in concord. good morning to our viewers in the west. it's tuesday, april 24th, 2012. welcome to studio 57 at the cbs broadcast center. i'm charlie rose. a new twist in the trayvon martin case. sanford's police chief tries to quit but city officials say not so fast. let the stakes begin as mitt romney and marco rubio share the stage. an emotional jennifer hudson becomes the star witness at the murder trial of her brother, brother and nephew. why was a woman fired after giving up a kidney to help save her boss's life? >> i'm gayle king. when i see you at 8:00, the former head of the tsa says

airport security is a national embarrassment. we'll talk with him about what needs to be done plus gary marshall, the guy between "happy days" and "the odd couple" is here today. >> first we begin with today's eye opener. your world in 90 seconds. >> we're better people than this. we're a better city than this. >> sanford, florida, rejects the police chief's offer to resign in the wake of the trayvon martin case. >> george zimmerman, the man who shot and killed trayvon martin is back in hiding. >> after being released from jail. >> his freedom is temporary because the danimage he caused them is permanent. >> if these investigators find that there have been violations by those individuals they will be held accountable. >> i'm hot about this. these are jobs that should have gone to american hookers. >> mitt romney out with florida senator marco rubio. might this be some sort of

audition? >> i'm not talking about that process anymore. >> why does being romney's vice president seem like a dare that no one wants to take. >> an emotional day in court for oscar winner jennifer hudson. >> forced to face a man accused of killing her family. >> a series of explosions sent two firefighters to the hospital and knock out power to thousands of homes. >> in china a teenager walking and then suddenly falling straight through the sidewalk down 20 feet. >> all of that -- >> she agreed to donate her kidney to help her sick boss and then was fired. >> if i donated to my boss, every time something was wrong -- >> you look like the asian girl on "soul train." >> on "cbs this morning." >> olive garden restaurant

firing a restaurant after she served alcohol to a young boy. >> his parents suspected something was wrong when the boy yelled out this is very good italian food. captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning." there is a new twist in the trayvon martin case. one day after suspect george zimmerman left police custody for an unknown location. >> the police chief who was heavily criticized for his handling of the case tried to quit but city commissioners turned him down on monday at least for now. mark strassmann is in sanford, florida. mark, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica and good morning out west. like george zimmerman, sanford's police department has become a divisive symbol since the trayvon martin shooting. the community is looking for a way to get past the dark moment. >> chief lee deserves a better shake than this. >> reporter: city commissioners had to decide whether to accept the resignation of police chief

bill lee. his department became a flash point. they never arrested george zimmerman after the killing. many in sanford agreed lee needed to go. the city manager even negotiated an exit package. >> the whole idea is for the community to come together. what i propose today is one of the ways would move the city forward. >> reporter: the chief's supporters pressured commanders not to scapegoat the chief and voted 3-2 to refuse his resignati resignation. >> approved to deny the memorandum at this time. >> reporter: george zimmerman released on bond has gone back into hiding out of jail police won't protect him. he's responsible for his own safety. his lawyers say zimmerman's family can't afford formal security so they will accept donation. >> i'm hopeful that we can keep him safe and truly hopeful that people will just let it work and let's find out what actually happened because i think when we

do, then the emotions may resolve themselves a bit. >> reporter: across the country the case has struck a nerve. just recently there were two separate beatings, one in chicago, another in mobile, alabama. in both cases the attackers allegedly claimed they were partly motivated by the trayvon martin shooting. >> we have to think is this the way that we want america to perceive us and america to react to it? do we want violence level to go up between people because of this case? he's very concerned about that. >> reporter: diffusing racial tensions is a goal in sanford where there's been a tense history between the police department and the minority community. the department of justice is reviewing the original police investigation here into trayvon martin's shooting. >> mark strassmann, thank you. in the presidential race, there are five republican primaries today in the northeast. mitt romney has some serious competition. romney campaigned in pennsylvania on monday. one of those primary states

along with florida senator marco rubio. >> rubio is believed to be high on the list of potential running mates for romney. with us now john dickerson. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> i'm looking at the "wall street journal" today and the number one contender to be romney's number two? is marco rubio number one? >> he certainly is among a lot of republicans who love marco rubio. they love his story. son of cuban immigrants. he's a tea party favorite. but this pageant has a long way to go and right now the two romney and rubio benefit from this buddy movie on one hand rubio gets to elevate his national profile and romney even if he never picks rubio in the end benefits from being seen with him. rubio's cuban heritage might help hispanic voters be open to him. if nothing else, it helps him in florida, that crucial battleground state where rubio is from. >> do we have any idea as to romney's thinking as to what kind of person, with a kind of

profile would hit him? >> not much. we know from his history he's a cautious person. we know in picking management teams before he likes people with experience who have been leaders before and he has said he wants somebody who can step into the job right away. the political part we don't know that will be important in the end. >> you talk about being able to step into that job right away. former vice president dick cheney weighing in on that. let's take a quick listen. >> it gives the public a chance to watch you operate and see what you think is important and what kind of individual you choose to serve as your running mate. what are the criteria. and i think the single most important criteria has to be the capacity to be president. that's why you pick them. >> dick cheney speaking pis the thinking that marco rubo does have experience to heaven forbid anything should happen step into the number one spot?

>> i think a fair reading of his career would suggest he doesn't. what's really amazing -- remember, dick cheney was an out of nowhere pick for george w. bush. he picked him because he said he had the kind of experience necessary to step into that job. marco rubio has no real executive experience and that was one of the big knocks against candidate obama and one of the reasons republicans say the president has been a failure because he lacked that executive experience. that's a hurdle that marco rubio just can't clear right now. >> jeb bush is promoting him as well when he declined to be on the list himself. will rubio help romney with hispanic? >> this is the big question. romney in the polls right now and some of them he's more than 40 points behind the president with hispanic voters. he might certainly help a romney in florida. that's obviously a crucial state. but the question is does it translate to other hispanic voters, rubio's cuban. does that play outside of florida and that's the big question. romney doesn't need to beat the

president among hispanic voters. he needs to improve and shrink that gap of 40 points. that's the thing to watch in states like new mexico and colorado whether the rubio effect will help romney at all with those kind of voters. >> john dickerson, thank you. >> thanks, charlie. the secret service sex scandal, officials on capitol hill are asking if anyone from the white house was involved. >> reporter: good morning. the size of this investigation just keeps expanding. it now includes 24 secret service and military personnel. the white house says that it has now conducted its own probe and it is confident that none of its own staffers was involved. >> out of due diligence over the last several days that review was conducted and it produced no indication of any misconduct. >> reporter: the white house monday announced results of an personal investigation led by the counsel's office which came

amid calls by some lawmakers for the executive branch to account for the actions of its people in colombia. >> there are no to my knowledge and have been no credible or specific allegations of misconduct by any member of the white house advance team or white house staff. >> reporter: one senator argued that the in-house review may not >> i think it would substantiate what they are trying to say and give credibility to it if we knew it would be reviewed by somebody outside of the white house. >> reporter: on monday another member of the military was implicated in the incident bringing to 12 the number of armed services personnel being investigated. that is in addition to the 12 secret service employees implicated in the night of drunken revelry and solicitation of prostitutes prior to the president's arrival. >> we expect our people wherever they are to abide by the highest standards of conduct. >> reporter: traveling to colombia on monday on a trip

unrelated to the scandal, leon panetta said the military members have had their clearance suspended pending the outcome of the investigation. >> the biggest concern is issue of security which could possibly have been jeopardized by virtue of this kind of behavior. >> reporter: some members of congress continue to ask questions about the possible involvement of white house staff. even though the administration says that it has concluded that none of its people were implicated. senator grassley has a list of 14 questions he wants the white house to answer. the secret service and the military may be out of politics but congress and the white house are not. charlie, erica? >> bill plante, thank you. the phone hacking scandal in britain has taken a new turn this morning. rupert murdoch himself is set to testify this week at a british inquiry where he's sure to face tough questions about what he knew and when he knew it.

james murdoch told a public hearing he did not know his reporters were hacking cell phones. >> i was given repeated assurances as i've said that these practices -- that the news room had been investigated and there was no evidence. i was given the same assurances as they gave outside. i've been very consistent about it. i don't think that short of knowing that they weren't giving me the full picture i would have been able to know that at the time. >> journalist and talk radio host with us from london. a former executive in the media company. good morning. >> good morning to you. >> tell me what you think this inquiry is trying to do. >> the inquiry was set up by prime minister cameron in appalling scandals and allegations and suggestions here. what he needs to get to is the relationship that's been between journalist, the police and politicians. obviously james murdoch is part

of that and one of the newspapers he was in charge of that's been thwarted because of the hideous hacking allegations. it's causing excitement for the media and people turning out as well. >> there's this impression from watching murdoch's testimony so far today he said there were discussions but there were not specifics. is that a general outline you see coming? >> this is now the third time that james murdoch appeared before various panels. he has to stick to the line. the problem for him is now is he just someone who wasn't in charge? is he foolish or was he just naive? he's having to stick to the line that he effectively didn't know whats with goi what was going on and he said he didn't read "the news of the world." his actors are doing it for him and he didn't read it at all. >> are we expected to learn anything new based on him

sticking to this line? >> in reality james is a lot of noise and excitement for his son but wait until dad comes here. father has been obviously at the heart of the empire and whatever was going on across the whole are the world including in the u.s. lands at rupert's door. james is really just for the u.k. the global picture gets even bigger tomorrow. >> any evidence that puts it at his doorstep? >> at rupert's doorstep? no. i think we saw when he appeared before the parliamentary committee, this is man who has around 30,000 employees across the whole of the world. he can hardly be expected to be across every single one of them is doing. what he can speak to is the extraordinary level of access that he enjoyed here in britain. he went to go into the home where the prime minister lives by the back door because he went so regularly that they didn't

want the journalists to know. he could tell prime ministers when he was in town and they would have him by. this is the level of access never before seen in british politics, in british media, and that's what the inquiry will be quizzing rupert murdoch about. >> thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you. >> walmart stock fell nearly 5% on monday over reports the company paid off officials in mexico. the company's mexican division allegedly paid millions of dollars in bribes to speed up building permits and for other favors. "the new york times" reports an internal walmart investigation of the charges was covered up. now to an emotional day in a chicago courtroom for oscar winner jennifer hudson. she took the witness stand yesterday to testify against her former brother-in-law. as dean reynolds reports he's charged with murdering three members of her family. >> reporter: 30-year-old william ba bell fo balfour is accused of shooting hudson's mother, brother and

nephew. prosecutors say it was an act of spite by balfour after hudson's sister, julia, demanded a divorce from him. on monday as first witness for the prosecution, jennifer hudson testified for a half hour choking back tears as she identified pictures of her mother and recalling for the jury how opposed the family was to julia's marriage to balfour. we didn't like how he treated her. earlier this year on cbs "the talk" hudson spoke of trying to recover from the memories though the memory of her loved ones is still vivid. >> i hear their voices in my head every day. hearing my brother's voice saying knock it off or why are you crying? you're always crying. >> reporter: the defense is arguing the murders may have been drug related and carried out by someone else but hudson's sister, julia, testified monday that balfour once told her, if you leave me, you'll be the last to die. i'm going to kill your family

first. prosecutors also argued that balfour was enraged on the day of the murders when he saw birthday balloons in the family home. suspecting they had been sent to julia by another man. in fact, they were sent to julia by her sister, jennifer hudson. i'm dean reynolds in chicago. >> it is time to show you some of this morning's headlines from around the globe.

welcome back to "cbs this morning. i'm gayle king. >> i'm charlie rose. kip hawley says for most travelers flying is an unending nightmare. he blames tsa security measures including those put into place when he was head of that agency. >> now he's written a highly critical book "permanent emergency." john miller is a top fbi official and now he's a member of our team and kip hawley, tsa administrator. each the title of the book "permanent emergency" was unsettling to me. one of the things that stuck out to me is we need to forget about no more banned items, and just allow liquids and that seems to go against everything that have been taught over the last nine, ten years. >> we ran so fast to put in measures to stop future attacks that we kept moving and never pulled out the old measures and what i'm saying is the old measures that worked well in 2001 and 2002 have been well

protected and we no longer need to prohibit those things. >> what other measures are no longer needed? >> knives, blunt instruments and things that can cut people. >> why don't we need to prevent knifes? >> you can't take over a plane. you have 200 passengers onboard and there are air marshalls and you just cannot take over a plane with the knives, and it's a risk management issue. you say, yes. somebody could bring a knife and stab the guy next to him. that's a risk, and when i tried to get small scissors taken off the prohibited items list, there will be screams and there will be blood running in the aisles and what risk management would dictate, is you have to find the bombs because the bombs will take down a plane. if you look for swiss army knife tell us divert the focus.

let's not have the officers look for knives and small things and focus bombs, toxins and things that can destroy the plane. >> one of the things that you point out is that we've got to kind of stop treating people like cattle which is putting them through this mill and use a smarter system where you gauge on behavior and other signals and say i'm going to look at this person more than that person. this is the old 75-year-old grandmother in the wheelchair versus the nervous guy with the backpack, but that kind of gets to the highly charged word "profiling." how do you do one without falling into the trap of the other. >> you do behavior based which is different from appearance based. you don't look for young e middle eastern males and go after this pem you have to understand that al qaeda tried to bring a bomb in a baby diaper onboard a plane. you have to go on, is there something in the physical behavior that's independent of

age, gender, ethnicity that will give you a clue and then you can follow up on it. >> there has to be a better way. we all say we need to do whatever it takes to keep us safe. until they throw away pt unopened bottle of contact lens solution and you go, no! it's not even open. it doesn't make sense and they say liquids can be a deterrent. what do we need to do? do what do your former colleagues need to do? >> i think what the public needs to understand is that there say whole understream of threats and intelligence that's directing the security measures, and what i'm saying is risk management where you say now that we can detect threat liquids and we can now detect threat liquid, but because it produces false positives, the lines will be long, and so whaled say is just open that up to the public and say hey, have a couple of lanes over here and if you want to

bring your big bottles, knock yourself out, and it's a little bit longer line than if you leave them behind. >> john would know the answer to this, too. i've always read the israelis are the smartest about this, if it is, what is it they do? my impression is they have a different attitude about who might be. >> charlie, the israeli seek vet that the public is totally engaged with the security services and that is the power of it. they do questioning. they do a lot of other specific security thing, but it is -- it is the heart of the israeli people and the security services who work together to stop terrorism in their land. >> and that's what we have to do? >> that's what we need to get here, and -- >> isn't the key piece of the israeli security umbrella for flying really in the interview? >> part of it. it's part of it. >> el al employee is talking to you where are you coming from and where are you going, they're

looking at every piece of your behavior and they're very well trained. isn't that what you're talking about? >> yes. we have the capability to do the behavior thing and if you free up officers. these are smart people, remember and they're well trained, but if you tell the workforce get into people's bags and fish for stuff they're not using their brains. >> like the easter egg hunt. >> i found the lighter. >> hey, if you let people back and observe and have conversations and that will give you a much more -- >> it begs the question, is there resistance to being smarter? >> yes because -- >> that's the nature of government, charlie. i want to see if kip will admit it. >> the answer is yes because if you allow people to be smart that means you allow them to make mistakes and then if you allow people to make mistakes then you will end up on the show and others explaining how is it possible that someone in your organization could have done it. >> treating everybody like

cattle, even if something gets through, you can say we're going by the book. >> i always do now when we go through security. do you think we still need the tsa? >> absolutely. we need something. >> that's what i'm -- >> it's calling for the abolishment and it's a bureaucracy. it's thousands standing around. >> he would -- he would privatize it and replace it by people. i have a caveat to meet the over 15 years that will receive $81,000 from companies who would be the privatizer. what do you think of that? >> private security today can work, but the way we do it is we take the tsa method and put a surcharge on it. so if we really allowed private sector security companies to do things like they do in israel that would be real security, but i think just asking somebody else to do exactly the same thing as tsa with the price

mark-up isn't really getting -- >> in that model, what would tsa be? >> tsa could be a regular -- in his proposal it would be tsa is regulator. i think being a regulator in this business is a bad thing because it's not like a mechanical defect that when you find a mechanical defect you fix it, issue a rule and it's done. terrorist, you write down when you think they want to stop and they say that's what you want to defend and a regulatory approach for security

>> we see dysfunction more than anything else. the republican controlled house is basically the tip of the spear against the obama administration. it's a real paradox that the most distinctly democratic indianapolis substitution in america is the most loathed. john dingell is quoted in the book saying i think pedophiles would do better. >> many say, i dislike very much congress but i like my congressman orwom woman. >> they do say that. that's when public opinion started to plummet for this house. they moved in. 87 freshmen on the tea party movement but instead the government came to a virtual standstill. >> you spent a little bit of time with the freshman class, the frebman republicans. pconsidering a lot of them didnt have any kind of political experience. >> about a third of them did not. it's tippypical case.

the freshman are to be seen, not heard. there was a group who celebrated their own powerlessness. they were entertainers. the. >> that's why they came in. part of their issue is people have been in too long and have been doing the same thing for too long. but their influence has been pretty impressive, especially when it comes to house speaker boehner in some instances. >> that's right. i think speaker boehner recognizes it. he has an expression that when you say follow me and you start walking and look over your shoulder and they're not following you learn you're not leading. you're taking a walk. there was no point giving orders if people weren't going to obey them. >> what about the budget. they said they had to deal with the president and the president

didn't follow through but you alluded in your book to the fact that it was boehner who backed down due to pressure. >> what happened is the freshmen and conservative speakers kept pushing speaker boehner farther and farther to the right and he because warned by some of his allies that if he produced a deal with president obama that only got 60 votes, he stood the chance of a mutiny. >> boehner said he was prepared to risk his speakership. do you doubt that? >> i do doubt that. he wins an honor in suicide and -- >> suicide or leadership? leadership takes risks. >> that's true. i think he's temperamentally suited for this job because he recognizes he's got a very conservativ debs.

he can'tlefully ignore the movement that blew them in the tower but at is tame time he's trying to get deals done. >> across the aisle with nancy pelosi. >> were strong-willed individual and in much more control of her caucus than speaker boehner was of his. she, show, very much wanted to have an active agenda in 2009/2010. she was the one who wanted the senate bill, the cap and trade, which was not very popular. and the massive bill that democrats can't explain, much less defend. >> you were taking a look at andrew weiner before this embarrassing kur fluffle. why? >> he's a perfeost perfect mode.

he was the counterthruster as it were. so i knew he was going to be in the thick of things. i didn't know that his life would erupt in scandal. >> you wrote about the new congressman who's a former staffer. >> that's right. >> one last question. former president bush who you wrote a book about, he seems to like being post-president. >> very much so. i think it's true what he said all along. he doesn't crave the presidency. i think he enjoyed being president but he likes his private life, being on his ranch in crawford, being more so than in dallas. i suspect even though he givens speeches he's going to remain a private person. >> before we go, you said there's something about anthony

weiner that even people didn't know that was rough. >> very rough on the star and in a way that was -- not just demanding. he could be pretty nasty toward them. >> does he have a political future? >> doubtful, doubtful. but if it's him versus alec baldwin, we shah see. >> to be continued. thank you. >> my pleasure. do not ask what good we do is available in bookstores and online. john lithgow has played everything from an alien to a killer. but his last performance in the role of a lifetime.,,,,,,,,,,,,,
