>> do you think you will come back to pitch again? >> at this point, i don't know. >> let's party and have a good time, cinco day mayo. >> i can't believe it has been almost a year since i threw up in a some brare rho. . welcome to cbs "this morning." the united states and china have finally worked out a tentative deal to end a ten-day diplomatic crisis. the state now expects china to let the dissident, chen guangcheng to go to the united states with his family. >> an unnamed american university has offered cheng a fellowship to study. hillary clinton said u.s. diplomates are speaking to chen who left the u.s. embassy earlier this week. >> progress has been made to help him have the future that he wants. we will be staying in touch with

him as this process moves forward. let me also add, this is not just about well-known activists. it is about the human rights and aspirations of more than 1 billion people here in china and billions more around the world. >> bill plante is with us from the white house. good morning. >> reporter: good morning and good morning in the west. the cheng case has become a dipomatic disaster in u.s./china relations and it is generating plenty of political heat in washington over the way the administration handled it. >> the white house under fire for its handling of the chen crisis insists it acted on his behalf. >> let's make clear that that was what mr. cheng said he wanted. >> reporter: from the campaign trail, mitt romney suggested the obama administration was more interested in getting him out of the u.s. embassy than in protecting his mu m

protecting his human rights. >> if these reports are true, this is a dark day for freedom and a day of shame for the obama administration. >> the white house pushed back hard. >> mr. chen also said that reportedly that he felt pressured to leave the u.s. embassy because he was informed that if he did not, his family might be in some kind of danger or under some kind of pressure. >> that's simply not the case. at no time did any u.s. official speak to mr. cheng about any physical or legal threats to his wife or children nor did chinese officials make any such threats to the state department officials. >> the administration really hopes to settle this before secretary of state clinton is scheduled to leave china. the chinese have said that they are going to allow the dissident cheng to have an exit vi if they do, the end maye in sight. erica? >> any more insight into how this deal came about? it certainly seems like it was done pretty quickly. >> both countries were trying to avoid serious diplomatic embarrassment. the u.s. is very willing to go along. >> what about contact.

do we know of any further contact on the part of u.s. officials with cheng? >> reporter: yes, the u.s. says it was able to talk to him twice over the past couple of days. the only real question is whether the chinese security apparatus will play ball with the chinese foreign ministry and actually let him leave the country. >> clearly a story we will continue to develop and evolve throughout the day and likely throughout the weekend. bill plante at the white house for us this morning. thanks. cbs news for continued updates. also in washington, former white house press secretary, robert gibbs, now senior adviser to the obama re-election campaign. good morning. >> good morning. how are you? >> does the obama campaign and does the administration, the administration more specifically, acknowledge that they have mishandled and miscalculated the implications of mr. cheng's visit there? >> well, look, charlie, this obviously is a sensitive diplomatic case. i am not in the white house nor am i in china. i think we are trying, through the state department, the state

department is trying to work out a resolution that honors the wishes of mr. cheng. obviously, it looks like some of those wishes may have changed over the past couple days. i do not want to interject myself or my opinions or anything like that into obviously a very sensitive diplomatic situation that i no he is being worked very hard on the ground in beijing. >> clearly, though, this seems to be an opportunity to speak out on human rights in china. is there a way to do that without worrying about offending the chinese and disrupting the security and economic dialogue? >> well, again, as i said, charlie, the administration brings up the issue of human rights whenever we meet with chinese officials, whether it is in beijing, washington, or in diplomatic meetings that occur outside of each of these two countries. >> is criticism of the administration fair game here, because, obviously, we are in a

political campaign and mitt romney is criticizing the administration for not, quote, defending freedom and that the u.s. embassy should stand for that most of all? >> well, the u.s. embassy in beijing and every u.s. embassy around the world is a hallmark for freedom for everyone to see. i would expect nothing but criticism from mitt romney on this or any issue in the next almost 200 days before an election, charlie. >> you think he would have handled it differently. >> if he wants to outline exactly how he would handle it differently, i'm sure there are people that would write it down. mitt romney, on foreign policy, charlie, has tended to be critical of what this administration has done, whether it is in afghanistan ordealing with iran or here in china without ever laying out what he would do differently. most of the times, when he does talk about these issues, you realize he is handling them either very similarly to what

the administration does or in the case of afghanistan, it appears he wants to keep a huge number of troops in afghanistan for a very long period of time. obviously, the president wants to get our men and women home as quickly as possible. >> although, there will be a presence there after 2014? >> there will be a presence. we are not going to have as you know based on the president's trip and the signing of an important strategic agreement, they are not going to be permanent bases in afghanistan. i think we are bringing troops home. we have brought troops home last year. we are bringing more troops home this year. i think that's a responsible winding down with a large commitment that we have had there in order to make sure that the taliban can't reconstitute and we don't provide a safe haen for al qaeda. >> robert gibbs in washington, thank you. turning to the economy now and the latest jobs report. it was just released this morning. the labor department says hiring in the u.s. slowed last month.

there is also been a significant drop in the number of people who are even bothering to look for work. rebecca jarvis is here with those numbers. the numbers were actually worse than expectations? >> they were worse than expectations. we saw 115,000 new jobs created in the month of april. the winter was much stronger, upwards of 200,000 jobs were created on a monthly basis. now, that 115,000 level, not what we want to see. that 8.1% unemployment rate, why would the number tick down to 8.1%? well, because people are leaving the workforce. they are no longer actively participating in looking for work and as a result of that, they are not accounted for in that unemployment number. >> when people look at the economic recovery, they talk about two things, consumer demand and then they talk about uncertainty on the part of big business decisionmakers. are they expecting congress to act as it looks as this physical clip? >> they are expecting congress to do more of what it has done, which is not act.

when it comes to that fiscal clip, if congress doesn't ac, there are things that will happen inevitably. the bush tax cuts expire at the end of this year. the temporary payroll tax cuts expire. the unemployment benefits for long-term unemployed expire and the mandatory budget cuts that will be in place as a result of what the deficit commission came to agree upon that these $1.2 trillion worth of cuts would begin taking effect in 2013. all of that will happen if congress does not act. that's what has business, every ceo i talk to is concerned about this. it is a $500 billion drain on the economy. in this world of uncertainty of what congress and washington, d.c. does next, it is very hard for businesses to justify hiring at this moment in time. they want to know what washington will do next. like you said, they haven't done a lot. it is a troubling sign that they might not do anything in this regard. >> the big question is whether they will be trending up whether the election is held even if the unemployment numbers are not at a certain point.

it is a good point. what we have seen really is the real unemployment in this country is called new six unploiu unemployment, 14.56 in april. that unemployment rate continues to tick down as people leave the labor force. you have this balancing out of versus them getting jobs. the jobs creation needs to continue to go up. you mentioned consumer demand. part of the issue is the way our economy is structured. >> our growth depends on what we do. the bush tax cuts expiring, what is that going to mean for a family making $50,000 a year? that is a $1700 increase in their tax burden and takes away some of what they can spend money on. that ultimately goes towards creating jobs. it is a consumer economy, something to pay attention to. >> becky, thanks very much. >> good to see you. >> good to see you.

we will have more on the economy and on that jobs report coming up on tonight's cbs evening news with scott pelley and throughout the day at cbsnews.com. at the john edwards conspiracy trial, an interior designer told jurors he funneled secret money to one of his aides. he has pleaded not guilty of using campaign donations to hide his pregnant mistress. they testified he received $725,000 in checks from a wealthy donor made out to a fake furniture business. one year after the killing of osama bin laden, we are now seeing his final words online. captured documents show him concerned about al qaeda's image as he tries to get control of a weakened organization under siege. >> senior correspondent, jon miller, former assistant director after national intelligence, is with us. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> what do you make of the letters they have gotten their hands on? >> it shows a frustrated bin

laden who is trying to micro manage the organization and at the same time realizes the lack of capability that al qaeda central has and is farming that out to some of the affiliate groups. what you also see is him chasing at those very taliban and the arabia peninsula. one reason aqap was getting such a high profile was its magazine inspire. they surprised them by coming out with a double issue this week. >> the glossy highly produced online magazine has become the "vanity fair" of terrorism. it's publisher was anwar alaki. both were killed in a drone strike last year. much of the two latest issues of inspire magazine offer

instructions on how to carry out a variety of attacks. >> al qaeda has now moved to simpler, smaller plots that don't cause as many casualties but which can still terrorize the west. >> the publication calls for all qaeda's followers to set intentional wildfires out west using ember bombs, detailed instructions on how to operate guns and to follow people and assassinate them and how to develop plots using chemical and biological weapons in u.s. cities. >> if you look at the kinds of targets al qaeda wants to hit, you have to look at a couple of characteristics, casualties. not just because the number of dead hurts the west but because it gathering more media attention. >> almost every issue you has a section with detailed bomb-making instructions. issue number 8 had a section on remote-controlled detonators. they believe the instructions came from this man, abraham al

asiri. >> this guy designed the bomb that almost killed the deputy chief of counter terrorism in saudi arabia, the bomb used on northwest 253 in attempt on the united states. he designed the bomb put in parcel post and mailed to chicago in 2010. >> the latest issue of "inspire" magazine came out together on wednesday, that double issue, after a long delay. some of the work to prepare these issues may have come from samir khan, the american who ran the magazine. send he and al alaki were killed a year ago, it is clear they have found some new publishing talent. >> is it good news or bad news you are in this magazine. >> well, i'm in the section called friends and foes where they take quotes from cia counter terrorism officials and all qaeda spokes men to show that people are talking about

them, part of the struggle for rel vancy. >> is there any sense as to how many people this reaches beyond people like yourself who are looking at it for includes? >> well, it reaches way many more people than the government would like. it is hard to get the number. once people get it, they turn it into a pdf and start passing it around. with he know from looking at that that tens of thousands of downloads happen here in the united states. >> just in the u.s. what about in other english-speaking countries like the u.k.? >> many more in those places. they are leveraging the internet and globalization with a pretty high-end product. >> is it clear we know a lot more because of osama bin laden and the raid there than we have ever known before? >> charlie, it confirmed a lot of what we see. it did give us some new insights, not only -- it answered some of our questions about bin laden's real relatives

and running day to day operations. it showed that he had the same questions to his own relatives. >> thank you very much, jon miller. time to show you some of this morning's headlines from around the globe. the financial times looks at facebook's hotly anticipated public stock over on thursday. the company said a price of $28 to $35 a share. that would put a $96 billion market value on facebook. ceo, mark zuckerberg's stock alone would be worth more than $17 billion. >> not too shabby. the "l.a. times" reports that junior seau's family will allow them to study his brain. he shot and killed himself on

>> announcer: this national weather report sponsored by bp. las for many conservatives, ted nugent is not just a guitar hero. he talks to us in his first interview since a fiery speech got the secret service's attention. >> they said, hey, ted, we have to meet with you. somebody said you threatened somebody. pi said, bring it. and michael phelps says he's

i'll tell you this right now, if barack obama becomes the president in november again, i will either be dead or in jail by this time next year. our president, attorney general, our vice president, hillary clinton, they are criminals. welcome back to cbs this morning. that was rocker and activist, ted nugent, three weeksing athe aan nra convention this st. louis. when his speech went viral, some critics called it a threat. >> he got a visit from the secret service. he spoke with jeff glor about that meeting. good mork. >> eric, good morning to you. ted nugent is loud, nonstop, never at a loss for words.

[ applause ] >> ted nugent said that on saturday, april 14th, within days, he got a call from the secret service. >> when you heard from them, were you surprised? >> in this environment, when you have the conditions in our government, no, i'm not surprised. >> what did they say? >> they said, hey, ted, we have to meet with you. somebody said you threatened somebody. i said, bring it. >> tell me about that. >> i feel sorry for liberals who can be that brain dead as to take a clear statement of fear on my part and turn it into a

threat against somebody else. >> nugent says the meeting took place at a hotel in oklahoma where he was on tour. >> what did they say to you? how did that all take place? >> ted, good to meet you here. thanks for giving us the time. hey, we appreciate you responding to our request. i said, i appreciate it back. you guys are following up on your professional responsibilities, even though he are responding to complete idiots who you should probably be investigating. i think i alluded to that. there was a slight smeeirk, a good-natured one. they sat down and said, there are some questions we have to ask you here. i said, good. they asked me if i threatened anyone. i said, never. couldn't, wouldn't. i wouldn't waste a breath threatening. >> how long did that last for? >> 35, 40 minutes. >> that was long. >> that was because i was so open. as you can tell, i'm rather

verbose. >> their biggest concern was that you threatened the president. >> i don't think their concern was that i threatened someone. i think their concern was that someone claimed i threatened o o someone. i've got to tell you and i don't mean to put any professionals on the spot an i don't have the greatest hearing in the world but i thought i heard something to the point of, i didn't think so. >> they said that to you, we didn't think you did? >> something like that. >> when the meeting was over, 35, 40 minutes, was that -- that was the end of it or you heard from them again saying, hey, listen? >> it was adorable. >> you would describe the meeting as adorable? >> i would, because they did their job perfectly. i answered the questions perfectly. >> you were happy with how things went? >> absolutely. >> they were happy with how things went. >> nothing makes me happier than me. >> april was one of the more interesting months you have had. >> jeff, that's where you are wrong. it has always been like this.

>> it has not always been like this. >> you have gotten more boisterous. >> you go back and look at these interviews. it has always been like this. >> politically speaking, you are more of an activist now than in 1970? >> political activism is being accelerated because the conditions demand that. >> you had a conversation with mitt romney? >> i did. >> you endorsed mitt romney? >> i did. >> have you heard from the romney campaign after these comments? >> and. >> i have to say what i say the way i say it. >> were they unhappy with you for saying that? >> no. they expressed support. >> did they say to you, listen, we appreciate the support, tone it down? >> nope. >> they didn't? >> i got the sensation it was not from mitt, himself, or mrs. romney, stan coorsstead, freedom

of speech is a beautiful thing. >> you are many things but you are not moderate. >> if you examine how i conduct myself, i don't think a day goes by in my life for many, many years now that we don't do charity work for children. i offer you this. you done a lot of interviews? >> a decent number. >> call me when you sit down across from someone who has more families with dying little boys and girls who get a call to take them on their last fishing trip in life. call me when you meet someone who does that more than i do, because that's really moderate. in fact, you know what that is, that's extreme. i'm an extremely loving, passionate man. people that investigate me on evidently without the baggage of political correctness, ascertain the conclusion that i am a damn nice guy. if you can find a screaming process more powerful than

that -- how does that sound? >> we have no idea where that unexpected outburst came from. the second part of it directed toward a female cbs news producer who was off camera. nugent did just have one of his midwest rock 'n roll express tour dates canceled by the u.s. army, a group he considers the core of his support. >> these military guys are my blood brothers. >> so when they say, you can't play for them -- >> when i hear that political correctness has somehow metastasized into the decisionmakers of the military, i was really let down that political correctness has any role at all in the military. i stumble perfectly. also, aspire to and accomplish a perfect standing up, dusting off and continue on. at the end of every day and at the end of my life, i will be in

the asset column. i will better mankind. i will better the environment and better america. i am dedicated to it. i can't be stopped. >> we thank you for bettering this interview. >> i will better your interview. god bless you, john. >> we released the romney clip on our website yesterday. the romney campaign responded by rereleasing a statement saying divisive language is inoffensive and inappropriate no matter what side of the political aisle it comes from. mitt romney believes everyone needs to be civil. not exactly the most stinging rebuke from the romney campaign. >> why did he go off like that? >> very good question. his wife, a very sweet woman, did come in after the interview ended, it nearly went on after ten minutes after the explosion and said, ted, you need to apologize to molly. he did. at first, he started to back off after he apologized and then

delivered a full apology and we went on. yesterday, he called me on the phone after we got back to new york and said, after our interview, that he was rushed to the emergency room and had a kidney stone removed. so that's what he said may have contributed to his high level of energy. >> he said it has always been like this. what did he mean? >> he meant that he has always been provocative, always been loud. he has always caused controversy. that's why i pointed it out to him. he acknowledged he has upped the activist. >> if someone cares about helping little kids, the better way to do that is not pointing to criminals. >> did anything surprise you? you expected him to be outspoken and loud and passionate? anything else that was surprising besides the outburst.

>> he is still playing, more known for these outlandish comments he is making. his quote to us was that his guitar eats faces. as only ted nugent can say it. >> translated -- >> i'm very good at what i do. >> thank you. >> yeah, thanks. >> you are very welcome. four years after his eight gold medals michael phelps is back in training. does he have enough left for london? you will see what he told 60 minutes. you are watching cbs this morning.

11-year-old garrett and -year-old gevan, all dead in their bed. chris claims the murders were connected to his work as head of security for world renowned tell evangelist joyce meyer. >> here's a guy who can set her free. >> reporter: reporter, nick p>> we knew early on the family had been receiving threats. >> reporter: the threats started as e-mails, then were hand delivered to the coleman's home mailbox, and then the unimaginable came true. >> a monster. i mean, monster comes to mind. >> those were three precious lives that were senselessly taken. >> reporter: police chief, joe edwards. >> we felt with the prior threats that was going to be a very good lead for us. >> who had such hatred for chris. >> and maureen maher is joining us from chicago. >> good morning. >> working for a tell evangelist doesn't seem to lend itself to

getting threats. i was surprised that's what he did. >> it was not uncommon for joyce meyer to get threats. she's a public figure. they're prone to getting some sort of attention, sometimes negative. what was unusual is that these threats seemed to be the first time that they were directed at an employee and one of her employees that ultimately as police went through their investigation, they discovered the threats led back to chris coleman himself and it was chris who had apparently generated some of these threats and he ultimately was arrested. >> that's suspicious. >> it is a little bit. ""48 hours"" also had rare access to the crime scene. you've been to some crime scenes. was there anything in particular? the spray painting on the walls, what stood out to you here? >> you know, it sounds ma cab, erica, but what i try to do as a reporter is look at the crime scene photos and spend time at the crime scene.

this isn't just television, this is somebody's life. this particular crime was really devastating. as you heard the detective say, it wasn't bloody but it was haunting. for me it was very haunting to be inside this house, to see where these children had lived, where this family had been, to see the words scrawled on the walls. it was -- it was devastating is really the word i can describe because this was just a nice -- i know it's cliche, but a nice, all-american family. to have this devastating crime happen, it really rips the community apart. it was haunting to stand in this house. >> it's so interesting when you talk -- i keep looking at the little boys. gorgeous eyes, gorgeous mother. i can only imagine what it must have done to that community. columbia, illinois, considered a nice, safe suburb. most people think, listen, this is a great american dream to live here. what did it do to the community? >> i think it was -- people were both angry but they were terrified in the first couple of weeks until chris was arrested. they were terrified that there

was some maniac on the loose killing families, but then they really became angry because as details about this family's life started to come out, this was a family that had no history of violence. there was nothing between this couple. they both had been in the military. they had fantastic reputations so it really devastated them, but they were very angry. >> and obviously there is much more to this, maureen. thanks for being with us this morning. maureen's full report, the writing on the wall, airs this weekend on "48 hours" mystery. that's tomorrow night at 10:00, 9:00 central here on cbs. some things you won't see coming. michael jackson fans say an ill fated pepsi commercial ruined his life. why is the soft drink giant now bringing it back in a controversial new campaign? you're watching "cbs this morning." ♪ love you, pretty young thing ♪ you'll need some loving,
