we wanted to know why so many pro football stars end up bankrupt. first as we do every morning, we begin with a look at today's eye opener, your world in 90 seconds. >> we are looking to see and make sure this was not some kind of systemic problem. >> reports surface of a new secret service scandal. >> cbs's seattle station reports agents took prostitutes back to their hotel room in el salvador. >> there are open positions and seems like a fun place to work. >> andrew young, once a close friend and aide to john edwards, testified in the federal criminal trial. >> the john edwards defense team attacks the prosecution's star witness. >> young said he had evidence of everything that had happened, edwards looked at him and said you can't hurt me, andrew. you can't hurt me.

>> the u.s. supreme court appears to be poised to hold out parts of arizona's controversial immigration law. >> just as sonia sotomayor told the top attorney you can see it's not selling very well. >> free to become -- >> does anyone have my last page. >> you got to hold it. >> all of that. >> my god. they can't give it to the kid. >> they are rubbing it in the kid's face. >> and all that matters. >> time lapse video showing the construction of one world trade center. >> on "cbs this morning." >> do you ever feel temptation when you see a woman? >> yes, sometimes. isn't that nice. that's a problem. dirty things like that. captioning funded by cbs

>> welcome to "cbs this morning." we begin with serious charges of another secret service sex scandal. >> a report from cbs seattle affiliate says last year in el salvador before a visit by president obama, an advance team of agents picked up women at a strip club and brought them back to their hotel. >> a reporter broke the story which you will see only on "cbs this morning." he's just come back from el salvador. what did you learn? >> we flew down there to speak with witnesses who say that secret service agents partied hard the week before president obama and his family arrived in march of 2011. that's much earlier than we heard about the partying that happened in colombia this month. in fact, the government subcontractor who came forward to speak with me on the record about these activities wouldn't really go on the record until after this story started

breaking in a bigger sense. he now felt comfortable to tell me what he saw and this is it. he says about a dozen secret service agents plus some of the military specialist that accompanied those advance team members got in vans and went to a popular strip club. the owner of that strip club when i went to speak to him verified that indeed secret service had been there that week. had it been a popular week. he hosted high level staff of u.s. embassy down there and dea and fbi agents. now the owner says that he does not allow prostitution inside his strip club. however, our witness tells us he repeatedly saw the secret service agents exchange money for sexual favors within the club and on at least two occasions those agents took escorts back to their hotel rooms. >> what is the response from the secret service? >> for a few days when we first

told them, secret service didn't call at all. no response. this morning as this news is starting to break, they did issue a short statement. i'll paraphrase but essentially they say they are starting to get reports of behaviors of secret service agents in other countries but it's always from unnamed sources. they say if they can get credible information, they're glad to check it out. i can tell you our station is working hard today on a story that is going to be breaking as we go that will name some names. >> so you will name some of those names. i'm sure that's part of what you're asking the secret service about. in terms of this being a bigger deal in which there have been allegations of from the beginning, do you have any sense how many more widespread this could be and whether or not it is a problem? >> i can only go from the comments from our subcontractor who worked closely all week long with the secret service advance team in explosives detection and canine units, snipers.

he says the talk around him was open. they openly bragged that they did this all the time is what he said meaning that in other countries, especially third-world countries, they sought out prostitutes, went to strip clubs and partied the same way and had been doing so for a long time. our source says he felt it was a culture within the institution. >> thank you. on wednesday the cabinet secretary in charge of the secret service told the senate hearing she's heard no other reports of similar behavior. >> meanwhile as bill plante reports from the white house, there are new questions about u.s. troops connected to the sex scandal. bill, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. and good morning in the west. the incident in colombia involved members of the u.s. military as well as of the secret service. while one group of senators questioned the head of the department of homeland security, others are in a briefing from the military and they're not happy. >> it's a waste of time because

they had no information. >> reporter: pentagon officials briefed senators on wednesday on the status of a dozen members of the u.s. military implicated in the same partying and prostitution incident which involved members of the secret service. >> i expressed my extreme dissatisfaction with the lack of any concrete information that was provided to us from a national security standpoint. >> reporter: the troops from the army, navy, marine corps and air force including five special forces were working in colombia in advance of the president's trip. secretary panetta said they had security clearances suspended and could be revoked but no further action has been taken. janet napolitano assured senators that their investigation continues even after nine lost their jobs in the wake of the scandal. >> we are going to get to the bottom of this. we are going to make sure that standards and training if they need to be tightened up, are tightened. >> reporter: as questions

continue to rise over whether this may not have been an isolated incident, senators pressed napolitano for more information. >> to your knowledge, is this the first time something like this has happened or have you had reports of similar incidents in the past? >> over the past 2 1/2 years, the secret service office of professional responsibility has not received any such complaint. >> reporter: sources tell cbs news that there have been past incidents of secret service partying on the road and that some of the agents pushed to retire this time may fight back saying that supervisors have been aware of past rule breaking and done nothing and maybe as many as 50 interviews still to come. charlie, erica? >> bill plante, thank you very much. we just heard from senator john mccain in the hearings that took place. arizona republican is with us now from capitol hill. senator, good morning. >> good morning charlie. >> so looking at the response you've heard so far from janet

napolitano as well as the secret service, what's missing here in your assessment? >> as far as i can tell, secretary napolitano and especially the director of the secret service has been pretty forthcoming in many aspects of this unlike the pentagon which has completely stone walled using the excuse that a uniform code of military justice as you know, that's the military law, somehow is a barrier to us receiving information. this could be -- i emphasize the word could -- could be a situation where national security could have been compromised. that's the responsibility of congress in general and senate armed services committee in particular as far as military personnel. this admiral and general that came up to brief us didn't know when the president arrived and i'm not making that up. they didn't know whether the head of the joint task force was

in the united states or not. i've been in thousands of briefings. i've never been to any one quite as stone walling as this one was. the american people needs to know and the congress needs to know because there if there are security problems we need to address it and address it quickly. >> what would you want the pentagon to say and do? >> what they have found out in terms of security of information that could have led individuals to threaten the life of the united states. for example, the president's schedules, he was arriving the next day after this happened. were the president's schedules there? were there weapons around? what was the situation security. as far as behavior part of it is concerned, that's another issue. they do have their rights. we also have to address the situation as to whether the president's security was compromised. >> in terms of that behavior,

senator, as we just heard from bill plante, there is some talk about supervisors being aware of past rule breaking and you just heard the report from our reporter out in seattle what he found about similar behavior a year ago in teel salvador. have you heard about past behavior? >> we hear rumors. i don't know anything about that obviously my emphasis because of being ranking member of the senate armed services committee is on the military side and the military as you know work hand in glove with the secret service. i don't know anything about those or any concrete evidence but this is a situation i think that congress and the american people need to know about as far as a security standpoint is concerned. >> the supreme court is holding hearings on immigration, arizona's immigration law.

you have said that that bill came out of necessity. senator schumer said it's an assault on domain of the federal government. do you expect the supreme court to rule it unconstitutional? >> you know, i don't know. i understand from questioning that at least parts of the law seem to be legitimate in their ideas. i learned not to trust the questions the supreme court ask. there is one thing that's clear because i am a citizen of the state of arizona is there was extreme frustration about the fact that our border was not secured, that we had drop houses in phoenix, that we had drugs that came across our border up to phoenix, and distributed throughout the country. phoenix was a distribution and is a distribution point for drugs throughout the country and there was great frustration. when we have border patrol agents killed with weapons used in fast and furious and people not feeling secure in their homes, you can understand, i hope, over time the frustration the people of arizona felt which then triggered the action of the

legislation they passed. >> thank you for joining us this morning, senator mccain. >> thanks for having me on. battle is unfolding in greensboro, north carolina, courtroom at the trial of former presidential candidate john edwards. defense attorneys are turning up the heat on his chief accuser, former campaign staffer andrew young. we go to greensboro where young returns to the stand today and good morning. >> reporter: good morning. good morning to our viewers out in the west. this will be andrew young's fourth day on the stand but now it's edwards' lawyer's turn to question him. >> defense attorney boabbe lowe zeroed in on him. you hate him, don't you ask, lowell? i have mixed feelings. earlier the prosecution tried to plug potential holes in their star witness's testimony

pointing out inconsistencieies chief among them why young said they were gifts and entirely proper and not subject to campaign finance laws. young said at the time he wrote donations were legal for a simple reason. i was scared to death, said young. i did this to cover my butt. the prosecution's case hinges on whether the money, nearly a million dollars in donations from wealthy donors, was used to simply hide a mistress or to help keep edwards' campaign afloat. >> mr. young has testified very much to the detriment of the edwards defense in the sense that he's said there were a lot of conversations with people about this coverup and how it was campaign related. >> reporter: as edwards attorney dig in with attacks on young credibility, edwards seemed upbeat as we left the courthouse

wednesday afternoon with his daughter. and this promises to be a lengthy day of questioning ahead for andrew young. edwards' defense attorney says the cross examination will go on all day long. charlie and erica, back to you. >> thank you very much. you are both following this case. welcome. let me begin with you, jack. can andrew young survive this kind of credibility test? >> that's going to be a big question inside of the courtroom. they have ammunition to use against him. the jury will have to decide is he telling the truth or not and they'll come after him with all sorts of things. one of the things the defense has here that you don't often have is a book. this guy has a book. >> i just happen to have it here. i've gone through it all. normal you don't have depositions in a criminal trial. here they have this printed

deposition and there are real contradictions. one of the biggest ones i noticed is when he testified in direct, he said john edwards was concerned about these and didn't want to know about them and in the book he specifically says on page 214, these funds and money that came from fred were actually gifts and were entirely proper and were actually not subject to campaign finance laws. >> my question still is can somebody lie and get away with it? >> you can if you can explain it away. the best way to challenge somebody's credibility is say they showed other things in the past that was different. the question is do they have an explanation and is it enough for jurors to say we'll buy into it. defense will argue that you lied in the past when it has been convenient for you, right, so when it came time to sum up their case, they can then say the jury is there any more convenient time for andrew young to lie than right now for his

immunity deal? that book gives the defense a great deal of ammunition. >> it's complicated that andrew young when he wrote this book signed a document with his publisher saying that everything in the book was provably true. he signed that. now they'll say were you telling the truth in the book or are you telling now the truth when you are under oath? i think there's a real problem with credibility. >> another big question is going to be looked at here is what elizabeth edwards knew and when she knew it. how important is that to this case? >> it helps to give a perspective to all of this. the defense is saying she knew really early on and as a consequence we're trying to protect her and to try to make sure that humiliation level is not so bad. that's again another one of those factual issues. >> thank you very much. it's now time to show you some of this morning's headlines from around the globe from a chinese leader spying on top chinese officials according to "the new

york times." china's president had his phone tapped as part of a scandal that rocked the chinese government. his wife is accused of arranging the murder of a british consultant. miami herald reports on a flap on the city of miami to bring in more money city officials are considering selling ad space on public property. that includes lamp posts, fire hydrants and side of public buildings. there's a breakthrough in talks of a college championship conference commissioners. it helps to decide who is number one. new proposals are expected to bring significant changes. and britain's daily mail reports prime minister david cameron's secret meetings with rupert murdoch. murdoch is under a second day of questioning in the phone hacking accusation. there were four meetings not previously known. we'll have more on the murdoch

campaign rallies next saturday. >> this morning we're talking politics and more with bill o'reilly from the fox news channel, author of several best selling books, including his latest "killing lincoln." and the upcoming "killing kennedy accounts. good morning. vice president biden said general motors is alive and bin laden is dead. is that news? >> no, but is that the theme of this campaign? economics and foreign policy and touches of success on the part of the obama administration. >> two good things the obama administration did. their bet on the car companies paid off and they got bin laden and we should be happy about both of those things. >> what is your advice -- i know you don't give advice to presidential candidates. >> sure, i do. >> of course i knew that would be your response. what should romney do now? you have also said that this guy

is cool and romney is not. >> well, romney basically is going to channel ronald reagan. he's going to run the exact same campaign that reagan ran in 1980 against carter. he started this week, are you better off than you were four years ago. i'm sure they're watching tapes right now of how reagan handled carter. it's eerie, the economy, liberal president, gas prices through the roof, gas lines back in carter, and here comes romney, he looks like reagan, got the hair going on, he's got the authority, he's a governor. it's eerie. so, whatever reagan did in '80, you can count on romney doing this year. >> some have said that that, in fact, is good advice but this nominee had been too negative and he has to adopt a much more sunnier attitude and not be so shrill in the criticism. >> maybe that's true. i think he's got to go after barack obama because obama is not carter. carter was kind of hapless. if you look at the tapes back

then, he was kind of hapless. almost defeated. barack obama is not defeated and a much better campaigner. i expect it's going to be a nasty campaign but done by surrogates. romney's not going to do it, obama's not going to do it. they will take their little jibes. their pacs are going to go in and slaughter the opposition. so, it's going to be very intense. >> in terms of people helping out with the campaign, how involved do you see rick santorum being? the other night he was asked a question by piers morgan, dancing around the issue of endorsing mitt romney. he didn't want to say the word. >> i don't think rick santorum will have a big role in the campaign, number one. number two, i think he'll endorse mitt romney. you know, he has to if he wants to maintain that republican connection. he has to do it. does he like romney? probably not. >> what does that say, though -- we talked so much about this in the last few months leading up to this point about the seeming division within the republican party in terms of uniting behind someone and this division, with conservatives as well, is there still a --

>> erica, erica. they despise barack obama so much, they being the gop, it doesn't matter who it is. they're going to vote against -- the republicans are going to vote against barack obama not for somebody. >> they'll have the same enthusiasm if there was a conservative candidate -- >> it doesn't matter. the lever, whether you pull it hard or pull it slow -- >> there's a thing about enthusiasm and the ability to get all the people out. >> the polls show that the republican voter is more enthusiastic right now than a democratic voter. that's all i know. >> what do you think will be decisive, whether this is a referendum on the president or a referendum as the president has said, this is what he said in a speech in washington we all covered and romney followed the next day. instead of moderating their views even slightly, republicans running congress right now have doubled down, obama said, adding he believes proposal, talking about ryan, is so far to the right makes the contract with

america look like the new deal. >> nobody's going to pay any attention to that. what's going to be decisive are the three debates. whoever does better in the three will win. that's how close it is. >> so far who's the better debater? >> it's hard to say. i've interviewed barack obama twice and the guy is quick. i've interviewed mitt romney maybe four times. the governor is much more studied, much more rehearsed. >> studied or quick wins? >> it's hard to say. this week has been romney's best week. all of that, you know, i'm getting attacked by gingrich, this one, that one, that's all gone. he's much more confident. his speech writers are good. whether he can bring his "a" game up against a guy that's naturally quick, obama, he's quick, i don't know. >> if it becomes a referendum, the debate and everything else on the president, he loses. >> he loses. >> because of the economy? >> yeah. and gas prices are killing people. that's pain that you feel, all right? but they've been ticking down, as you know. >> you can't tick down from four

bucks. >> why can't they tick down -- >> they tick down two cents. you're ticked off. if it ticks down a buck and a quarter, maybe. but it won't. >> you can make the satisfaction if it goes up a penny or a nickel. >> all i know is, and i know there's these guys, is that people are angry when they go to the gas station, okay? they're angry right now. and it's april. if they're angry in november, he loses. >> do you believe the president -- there's this ongoing debate within the country about can the president really do something about gas prices -- >> pass law against speculators. >> you believe the president and the administration could make a significant difference when it comes to prices we all pay at the pump? >> if they pass laws against speculators at least it shows he's doing something. right now it's like the bp oil spill. not doing anything. and people are going, okay, do something. and he doesn't know what to do, barack obama. look, people vote about emotion. they vote on emotion, most people.

they're not analyzing what paul ryan's saying. right now they're tee'd off and that's not a good thing for an incumbent president. >> you can't make arguments about what paul ryan's budget would do to individuals -- >> who are you going to make that argument to? to america. >> okay. >> they're watching "dancing with the stars." are you going to cut into that program and make that announcement? >> "dancing with the stars" is up against you. >> tell me about it. people vote emotion. >> who can touch emotion of where america is the today. >> who can scare you the most or give you the most confidence will win. >> let's talk about abraham lincoln. >> yes. best president ever. >> and your book is number one, for 30 weeks. >> is this about bill o'reilly or abraham lincoln. >> i wrote the book because i wanted to show america what true leadership is. because we need true leadership. this isn't a party thing for me. i'm an independent. i selected abraham lincoln, i'm a history major, because i admire the man and i know the

pain he went through to lead the country out of the division it was in and to win the civil war. and i wanted to write it in a way that was accessible, that the people would read it. it's not 1800 pages and you go, oh, my god. it's 300 pages. when you get through with it, you'll know abraham lincoln and the brutal things he went through. >> what will we know about him? >> he was a man of courage, an honest man, that he had a horrible life, that he was -- his children died, his wife was insane. but he -- through it all, he alone kept it together. he kept it together. that's true leadership. >> because he understood the essence of america and preserving the union with it. >> that to him was more important than his own life. and when you see that kind of self-sacrifice abraham lincoln made and the heroism he brought and the humility he brought, he was such a humble man, you can't help but say, gee, i wish we had somebody like that now. >> do you see anybody that could fit that bill? >> nobody can be compared to abraham lincoln or george washington or the icons. i'm hoping that people, younger

people, will read the book and say, you know what, i want to be like abraham lincoln. i want to put my country first. >> how about you for a moment. >> here we go. >> you just signed another deal with fox? >> yep. >> how many years? >> three years. i'll be 87 at th

although berries showed positive effects despite what kind they were, blueberries and strawberries slowed brain aging the most. berries benefits resulted from flaif noi flavin flavinoids. it's thought stress and inflammation cause brain dysfunction. other lifestyle factors of berry eaters may have also contributed to healthy brains, such as exercise. but overall, adding berries to your diet is a pretty easy change for a healthier brain. i'm dr. holly phillips. >> announcer: "cbs healthwatch" sponsored by advil. make the switchto advil now. here's one story. pain doesn't have much of a place in my life. i checked the schedule and it's not on it.

>> it looks like she's almost holding the ball, taunting the poor kid. i don't approve. >> obvious bottom line is they should have given the ball right away. >> absolutely right. but their backs are -- i'm just saying their backs are to the little kid. looking at the people behind. we're spending -- we'll move on. you're right, we don't approve. 8:00, welcome back to "cbs this morning." hello, i'm gayle king. >> i'm charlie rose with erica hill. in an interview president obama tells "rolling stone" magazine that mitt romney won't be able to get away from the conservative positions he took in the republican primary race. >> it's not the first time "rolling stone" got into presidential politics. the magazine has been at the heart of pop culture and current events for more than 40 years. >> reporter: by the late 1960s san francisco's counterculture movement was growing stronger and jan, a 20-year-old college

dropout, wanting in. in 1967, sensing a growing appetite for all things peace, love and rock 'n' roll, he created "rolling stone" magazine. >> it was done out of a love of music and rock 'n' roll, a desire to play a part in it, to celebrate it and be a part of that culture. >> reporter: the biweekly became a rock 'n' roll bible and gracing its cover became a rite of passage for music's biggest names. but the mood of the country was rapidly shifting. >> "rolling stone" was at its core a music magazine but also covered student unrest and various political things. >> reporter: in anticipation of the 1972 presidential election, jann tapped the godfather of journalism for richard nixon and his opponent george mcgovern. >> when thompson came aboard,

that changed everything. he refused to go in the same direction as more seasoned political reporters would do. >> reporter: it's still a music magazine, but "rolling stone" remains firmly entrenched in politics. drawing from its liberal roots, it sticks up for the left while challenging the right. and the latest issue features a wide-ranging interview with president obama, according to jann, who's gearing up for the fight of his life. >> the new "rolling stone" with president obama on the cover will be out tomorrow jann rarely gives interviews but we're proud to say he's in studio 57. >> good morning. >> i love the piece because i love how you set it up. president obama giving you an hour, which is very, very rare. even starting the interview, you start negotiating for extra time.

>> he started off by saying, well, call -- call secretary of state's office and tell them i'm going to be ten minutes late. i knew i wanted extra. i said 20. he said 15. we compromised. when i left, hillary was sitting outside in a tiny chair in the secretary's small office squeezed in, waiting for me to be done. >> well, clearly there's something because, listen, in four years "rolling stone" has done the interview, last three years you've had it with the president. there must be some type of rapport between the two. you said he seemed to be a little somber this time. >> well, he's -- i think, just really stressful and he looks worrisome and tired. he's been pounded back and forth. but not that he -- you know, he's more somber. stakes are higher. i don't know how to describe it. it's tough. hillary looked tired. three years, a job you can't imagine. >> you also point out their relationship, too, you think

their relationship, hillary clinton, and barack obama, is in a very good place. >> he was smart to hire her because she represents the united states like no one else can. she has double duty of the diplomacy and symbolic. no one has traveled as much as she has. it was a brilliant pick, you know. >> what does he think of mitt romney? >> well, he -- he didn't want to really say what he thought of him personally. he really ducked the question. but he gave i think what he -- his answer and thought he's worked out in a way he wants to campaign is to say, this guy is not going to be able to escape the conservative stand he took during the primary. he must mean what he says. we'll take him at his word. so, i think he indicated the plan will be to make a sharp contrast. >> do you think they're running scared or not? >> the obama people? i think everybody is running scared. you have to.

if you're not running scared, you're crazy. go in with overconfidence, you'll make mistakes. you go in like every last vote counts and that's the way they mean to take it. they're confident -- i think they think they're going to get it. >> your impression of him, having watched him in office, changed over the last three years? >> of him personally not at all. he's still one of the smartest, self-confident people who's really sure-footed, knows -- he's intelligent. he's got to be as good as it gets in history in this job and he's really suited. i think he made one fundamental mistake at the beginning, which he misjudged the nature of the republican opposition. i think he went in there a little overconfident of his own skills as a negotiator and as an organizer and a guy who's able to reconcile, but the stakes, they were unreconcilable and they were obvious. >> as good as it gets in the oval office? bill o'reilly was saying lincoln, the hero of the president, was the greatest president we've ever had. are you comparing him -- >> well, it's a little early to judge against, you know, all of

the presidents but he appears to about as capable and competent and intelligent and thoughtful and committed and with a vision as about anybody we've seen in recent years. here's a man that could be a great president. >> he clearly has a feeling for popular culture, music especially. >> and not afraid to show that side, either. you talked to him about -- >> he had his one-liner worked out about his singing. my idea is do it as little as possible therefore ticket prices don't go down. but he's a gift -- he's natural at that. an easy -- at ease man with that. and i think popular culture is more important than it ever has been. >> did you see him on jimmy fallon. >> i did. >> the fact he would do that publicly is, okay --. >> he's confident at all of it. he's very self-assured and natural. >> and took a mike handoff from mick jagger.

>> well, what i wanted to get at was most people when asked to sing in public get nervous or don't want to do it. what he said to me is that he knew he could sing. there wasn't going to be a problem there. >> it would be just fine. he just needed the mike. you talk about him being very self-assured. you talked to him about the military. one thing that stuck out to me is he says, i very much believe in civilian control of our military. military decisions are in service of tragedies and the broader conceptions of diplomacy made here in the white house. it's an interesting stance to take. how does it seem that will play? >> well, i think in a very careful and non-inflammatory way, he's saying, when i got in here, the pentagon was used to having its own way and dictating policy and just -- their

relationship with previous presidents, bush, was such that they dictated policy. bush didn't dictate. so, he indicated he took the time and the effort, you know, to reassert himself. >> do you get the sense there really is that mutual respect and -- >> he fired, due to our coverage, a commanding general, a theater general in the war in afghanistan. he fired that guy after -- now, the last time that happened was truman and macarthur. he's confident of his decisions and he went in and wrestled with the troop level decisions and like it or not those are his decisions. >> let me quote. there's no one who would doubt the bush administration policy was run by cheney, bush and rumsfield, not by the generals. not really a military acting and making the civilians cow to their demands. >> well, i grant your point. i overspoke that. it was bush and cheney's war. i don't know that the pentagon wanted it. once in there, they let the pentagon run the thing and dictate troop levels and dictate the strategy.

i'm saying cheney was a seasoned vet there and knew how to work with the generals and whatever. obama walks in, just a guy who's been a community organizer and a two-year senator, all of a sudden he's in charge and he had to show his stuff and show that he's reasonable and thoughtful and also going to be commanding and make the final decisions. and i think -- >> one of the interesting things he has done -- >> i'm not done. meanwhile, he walks in with two wars going on under him. >> as a young leader. >> run by generals. he says, things aren't going to be working out and i'm going to shift strategies. >> and has made difficult

>> did you keep yourself in check? >> not really. i had a little bit of a scare, p>> what was the scare? >> what happens with me is that i start to almost lose my words. i almost can't sing, i can't get words out. i start to stumble a little bit. so, those things were happening. i thought, big trouble. >> that's ann romney. the more i see ann romney, the more i want to get to know about romney. >> we could have her here at the table with us. >> she does have an open invitation. >> indeed she does. you can see more of nancy o'dell's interview. welcome back to "cbs this morning." half past the hour. >> when the nfl draft begins tonight, all 32 first-round picks might feel as though they are set for life but not so fast. it doesn't always turn out that way. >> just this month we learned former nfl superstar warr ren sp filed for bankruptcy. as rebecca jarvis reports, he's

not the first big star to go broke. >> reporter: each spring hundreds of young men from across the country spend anxious hours waiting to hear their names called at the nfl draft. for some it's the beginning of a career that brings the fame and fortune they've always dreamed of. but for many, it's the beginning of a financial nightmare. >> this is alpha male sport. you think you'll be on top of your game forever. >> reporter: moose mohammed knows about longevity. he spent 14 seasons as a wide receiver in the nfl, earning millions of dollars in salary and endorsements. in 2010 he left the locker room for the boardroom and today helps run an investment firm. >> could you send this -- >> reporter: still, his business savvy couldn't protect him from a financial fumble. three years ago he was sued by wachovia for nearly $25,000 in unpaid credit card bills.

>> there was some debt run up by a family member. and i was a guarantee on it. so, it wasn't my responsibility but at the end, i took responsibility for it and it was settled. >> they're perceived of having a great deal of money all of a sudden so people think they can take advantage of that, family members, financial advisers and others put a target on their backs for potential scams. >> reporter: the nfl is keenly aware of the threats to their athletes' bank accounts. in 2009 "sports illustrated" reported nearly eight in ten of former players find themselves bankrupt or in financial trouble. that's partly because the average career lasts just six or seven years. and while the league takes in 'b minimum salary is $390,000. >> the nfl approached fenra about two years ago to find out about tools and resources that we had to help nfl players

better protect themselves when it came to their investments. >> reporter: jeri walsh runs that program. she starts her outreach months before the league starts calling names. here at the predraft east/west shrine game and senior bowl, walsh says she meets players who are already in financial trouble. >> what they do is they try to better position themselves in the draft by taking out loans to engage in programs that might further their chances of getting a higher number in the draft. >> based on those numbers, you would often see players going out, getting loans, you know, lots of credit and building up debt prior to getting that first check. >> reporter: and once they're in the league, it doesn't necessarily get better. when superstar warren sapp filed for bankruptcy earlier this month, he reported owing $6.7 million, including back payments in child support and alimony. >> i think it's an epidemic that, you know, players that

three to four years out of the game are either divorced or bankrupt. i think a lot of it has to do with lifestyle. >> reporter: in sapp's case, the lifestyle included more than $6,000 worth of shoes and a $1200 lion skin rug. but it's not just big spending that's a problem. mohammed says an even bigger lifestyle flaw maybe not preparing for life after the league. >> what about football applies to any other profession, you know? i just -- i don't think there are very many, you know, resumes you can put, hey, i was an nfl football player for ten years and someone's going to say, hey, okay. >> hey, okay. rebecca jarvis. it's still hard to believe that somebody who has made millions or thousands of dollars, and in your piece you said the minimum salary is $390,000 which is a very, very good salary. it's hard to believe people would go broke.

how does that happen? >> well, it's sort of like the lottery syndrome in some respects. you have somebody who relatively speaking has just come into the biggest amount of money in their lives. >> and they're too young, you think? >> not just too young but inexperienced. because you have fenra now actually helping and trying to help these individuals learn about it, but in many cases, the people who are going into the nfl, they don't have that education leading into it. they come in, like i mentioned, with debt. in order to get there in the first place. and then they have all of these scam artists that come out of the woodwork, looking at them, selling them investments and they have relatively little information to differentiate between what's actually good and what's a scam. >> of course, they have that information but it depends on wlo they take it to heart, that education. >> i don't know that they get a lot of new friends. >> friends they never knew they had. >> the lottery syndrome. >> thanks, becky.

>> it's my turn. i thought erica was speaking. we knew her first as a supermodel. christie brinkley, i can't get over how great she looks. actress, author and activists to her resume. we'll talk about her new role on broadway.

♪ uptown girl you know i can't afford to buy her pearls ♪ >> the uptown girl herself is with us, christie brinkley. looking so fine, as the song goes. she was the first model to make the cover of "sports illustrated swimsuit edition" three years in a row. >> i love that video. 30 years later she's on broadway starring as roxie hart in the hit musical "chicago". hello, christie brinkley. >> good morning. >> it's so funny, we were talking about you this morning. tony, the stage manager -- say hello to tony. right there. >> hi, tony. >> tony says to me, when did christie brinkley start singing

and dancing? so, everybody who wants to know, when did she start singing and dancing? what do you say, christie brinkley? >> i say, come check me out at the ambassador theater. i'm there till friday. and then i'm heading off to san diego, may 8th and we'll be there a week. >> is singing something you've always wanted to do? i think tony mentions a point -- >> and the theater in los angeles. oprah said she was going to come see me. >> i heard that, too. i think tony raises a good point because most people -- we know you in "up town girl" video, bu he does raise a good point. >> i think the first -- my first run in "chicago" last year, i think a lot of people came to the theater to see the -- but i think the fact they asked me to

go on and do the show in london and then asked me back this year for an encore performance -- >> means you can do it. >> -- means i was capable to carry that role to a certain extent. everybody brings something to the role. i have more of a comedic take on it. so, if i mess up, i just -- >> that's okay. >> hopefully they laugh with me. but i actually am -- i've worked with the top professionals in the industry. >> you're clearly having a good time. you're certainly having a good time. >> absolutely. we talked in the green room, but you were joking around saying you have two left feet. but as you said, you've worked really hard on these numbers. of course, dancing and singing at the same time and doing it well is not easy. >> that's what's so -- >> which was harder? >> first of all "chicago" the show i'm in, the longest running

revival on broadway. they have guests come in occasionally to play the part of roxie. and they work with you. and i got to have dance lessons from ann reinking. i mean, come on! and gary crist, one of the leading choreographiers on broadway, and david kent works with me every day on the show. there's room for improvement, for sure. >> i read -- >> where you put your hands matters. >> i read for the first time that someone told you you're too thin. i don't get that. i look at you at the age of 58 -- i've been marveling about you. really, i think you look so fantastic. i'm doing jenny craig. i said, what are you doing? christie says to me, oh, gayle, i had a croissant this morning. good for you. >> i ate the whole croissant and then i was eyeing the next one, too. >> you look great. >> the only time in my life that i ever heard the words, you're too thin, was after the broadway

run in london. and that's because it is -- this show is very, very physical. i crawl up a ladder. i slide across a chair. i dance through numbers. i run up and down to my dressing room for costume changes. and i -- when i left the role after 11 weeks on broadway and four weeks in london, i was actually a size 24 jean. i'm a 27 now. >> i'm a 32. >> so, the trick is -- >> i'm not saying what i am, ladies. >> but the fact of the matter is, dancing is great for your figure. >> i heard that. >> i mean, if you look at the women that are on stage with me -- >> gayle, we should start doing zumba after the show. >> one of the girls in our show, melissa, she comes out in the skimpiest outfit. the second she walks on, a friend of mine who is in the audience said, the entire audience starts going, abs, abs,

abs -- >> i know that, too. >> i've seen you and peter recently in the news. there's a lot of back and forth. i say this to you as someone who's divorced myself, and i know in the heat of battle we can say really unkind things, i plead guilty to that, too. i also know what it's like to live with a cheater, cheater, pumpkin eater, i understand the pain of that, but i wonder how you two are going to move forward and navigate this? because you and i -- >> can i just say -- i have never -- i have never engaged in the name calling. i want to make that perfectly clear. you cannot find a quote attributed to me -- >> you called him a name, you're right. >> i have never called him a name and i did not engage. this whole last round of press about this whole thing was totally one-sided. and i went on -- >> but you felt the need to respond -- >> i did not feel the need to respond to it. >> you did not? >> i totally did not. six years since my divorce has

been final, i have said nothing except in court where i have to -- there i had to get a divorce, so i had to go to court. >> i saw you talking about it, whether you felt the need or not, i saw you talking about it. i want to advance the story and find out from you how you guys are going to navigate? you have children you have to raise together. i know it's tough. number one, you look great, sound great. do you feel as good as you look? and how are you guys going to navigate going forward? i'm curious. >> well, i'm heading to california to sing and dance with "chicago". >> at the pantageous. >> i grew up in california. i'm so excited. that's where i went to see all the plays as a kid and i would sit in that seat. it's this gorgeous, like -- i don't know if it's the still deco mission or whatever but an old-time theater with 3,600 seats. >> can i take this to mean you're going to navigate just

fine? >> well, i have been navigating. that's what's been upset being this whole thing is, you know, everybody's like, she needs to move on and not discuss this. i haven't discussed it. i built a home for my parents. i've started a beauty business from the ground up, christiebrinkley skincare.com. i have wonderful products. makes your skin luminous. i've done 11 weeks on broadway. last year i learned an entire broadway play. i never acted before. i never sang. >> we have to let it go there or we'll get in trouble. >> yes, i'm going to sing and dance my way through any trials and tribulations. >> where are you in l.a. again? >> pantageous theater, may 8th through theed end of the month. >> thanks. >> we'll be right back. you're watching "cbs this morning.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

>> bruce springsteen, never a bad day. movies like "gone in 60 seconds" show us high octane of sports car theft and now police have uncovered a smulging ring in los angeles. >> it involved a ferrari, federal agents and a very savvy businessman. >> reporter: they're fast, furious, exhilarating. ask anyone at exotic racing school in las vegas as they test drive some of the world's highest performing cars. there's nothing like it. for businessman eric bloomberg, it's also a place to score new clients for his luxury auto rental service. >> definitely an amazing car. >> reporter: broom berg is missing a car in his fleet these days, a 20 10 black ferrari italia. he noticed something was wrong almost immediately after renting it out to a seemingly legitimate

customer for the going rate of $2,000 a day. >> in the cars we have a few different tracking systems in place. i found this car wasn't moving for a few days which is rare because of the cost per day. >> reporter: using gps he tracked the car to the last known location, a nondescript warehouse. by the time bloomberg called cops, the car was loaded on a container at the port and delivered to hong kong. u.s. customs agents tracked it down and had it delivered to the u.s. by then they realized they had stumbled onto a case far more complex than that one stolen and smuggled vehicle. so how much would this car fetch in hong kong? >> a little over $200,000 here in the united states and probably double that in hong kong on the black market. >> reporter: so about a half million? >> half million for this single vehicle. >> reporter: a lot of money but still cheaper than buying it legally overseas, when you figure in taxes and shipping costs. using tracking data from the

ferrari's container, customs agents recovered a total of 20 stolen high-end cars exported or about to be from this port. law enforcement officers believe they had been driven off car dealership lots by people with fake i.d.s. >> some will be just false social security numbers. some will be fraudulent names, enough to prevent us from trying to find out who the actual person is that walked into that dealership on that day. >> reporter: according to investigators, finding stolen cars, many shipped in pieces, can be like finding a needle in a haystack. more than 20,000 containers pass through the ports have day. more than 500 vehicles are exported daley. last year customs officers here seized 61 smuggled vehicles worth $1.8 million. this haul alone is worth almost that much, $1.5 million. >> like cat and mouse. you raise your game, they raise

their game. and you end up with 20 vehicles. >> absolutely. we try to stay one step ahead of them but more times than not it's very difficult. >> reporter: no arrests have yet been made in this, the biggest seizure of smuggled cars in recent memory. and no one expects the illegal traffic to slow down any time soon. >> there's movies we've seen since we were much younger that show these intricate theft plots. they're so exciting. but, yeah, it feels like a motion picture, doesn't it? >> reporter: the investigation continues, but eric bloomberg just wants to get his car back. and his business back on track. for "cbs this morning," bill whitaker, los angeles. >> all i can say is ferraris are one very fine machine. >> i thought you were going to say christie brinkley is at the theater -- >> are you serious? where did you hear that? >> yeah. i heard it a couple times. >> she's actually in "chicago" right now and taking that role -- >> she's so great because she's 58.
