7:03 am
>> welcome to "cbs this morning." erica hill is off. gayle king is here. good morning. >> good to see you. >> it took president obama barely a day to use his support for same-sex marriage as a powerful political tool. at a pair of west coast fundraisers he said it shows a difference in visions between democrats and republicans. >> his second stop was george clooney's house in los angeles where movie stars and campaign donors with deep pockets were waiting. sounds like quite a night. >> good morning, gayle and charlie, and to our viewers across the west. even here in hollywood which knows a thing or two about blockbusters, this was huge. a fund-raiser for president obama pulled in just shy of $15 million. the most ever raised at such an event. the set, george clooney's hollywood hills mansion. a-list actors and producers arrived in style. the star of the evening,
7:04 am
president barack obama arrived at lax in his private jet, air force one and then choppered off to join his group of $40,000 a plate fund-raiser. actor, producer, director rob reiner was one of 150 paying guests. >> the person i want to be president of the united states is barack obama. >> reporter: he says hollywood prague gr progressives buckled under republican pressure but turn off by the heart right rhetoric of republican mitt romney and turned on by the president's endorsement of same-sex marriage, hollywood's excitement has been rekindled. >> you talk about people putting out $40,000 a person and we're raising here now up to $15 million, that's pretty enthusiastic. >> among high rollers, steven spielberg, robert downey, jr.,
7:05 am
barbra streisand, mr. obama needs hollywood's enthusiasm and money. former gop strategist and now usc political scientist. >> four years ago he raised a lot of money from hollywood and from silicon valley and from wall street. this year wall street is not that excited about obama. so raising money from the entertainment industry becomes even more important to the re-election campaign. >> reporter: why? most of unlimited so-called superpac money is going to republicans. >> that's a bit of concern. in terms of his ability to raise money for his campaign, i don't think we have to worry. we may not be funded at the level that the republicans are funded but we'll be competitive. >> reporter: two-thirds of that automatic $15 million came from small contributions. tens of thousands of americans gave an average of $23 a piece for the chance to win a ticket to last night's star studded affair. two winners and their guests got to join president obama, george
7:06 am
clooney and all of those stars dining under a tent on clooney's basketball court. >> thank you, bill. mitt romney is apologizing after reports about an incident nearly half a century ago that one witness calls an assault and battery on a boarding school classmate who turned out to be gay. >> "the washington post" quote other witnesses who say the boy was held down, screaming and crying, while romney bullied him. john crawford is in washington with the latest on this story. jan, what can you tell us? >> reporter: it was in 1965. romney was a high school senior and he and some of the other students had a problem with a classmate who was described as different. on the campaign trail mitt romney apologized for pranks that were said to have committed in school 46 years ago. >> i'm sure like other folks i have done stupid things in high school. if i offended anybody by that, i
7:07 am
apologize. >> reporter: it was at this michigan prep school where a young romney allegedly pulled a prank that some way went too far. in the incident romney and other students allegedly ganged up on one teen described as a nonconformist at the straight laced school. they tackled him, pinned him down and romney cut his long hair. romney says he doesn't remember it. the youthful experience of presidential candidates have been dissected for years. president obama faced questions about using cocaine and marijuana, something he admitted in one of his books. >> i spent the last two years of high school in a daze. drank beer heavily and tried drugs enthusiastically. >> reporter: and bill clinton who side-stepped the drug issue. >> i experimented with marijuana a time or two and i didn't like it. didn't inhale. and never tried it again. >> reporter: romney says he's changed since high school. he got married, did mission work
7:08 am
overseas. but still in an interview with "cbs this morning," his wife remembered a younger romney who liked to joke around. >> i look at him as the boy that i met in high school when he was playing all of the jokes and really just being crazy, pretty crazy. >> reporter: we talked to some of romney's other classmates. they said they never heard of this incident which is weird because it was a small school. they thought they would have heard of it and it was totally out of character for romney and he was funny but never malicious. >> jan crawford, thank you. with us now is john dickerson. does this story damage mitt romney or is it simply what will happen in this campaign? >> i think it is what's going to be happening in this campaign. these little eruptions. it comes at a bad time for him because he's not well defined for broader part of the electorate but to damage it has to sustain and continue on for a long time. his opponent, president obama,
7:09 am
has to work this issue and there's not any evidence that's going to happen. it also has to attach to a current view of him and nobody has been able to find any current behavior that is like this from him. >> you have to, i assume, admire the way the governor came out and said i don't remember it but i apologize so he's trying to put the story behind him. >> definitely trying to put the story behind him. he's in a pickle because on one hand he can't say it didn't happen at all. the reporting in the story seems solid. every detail may not be exactly as it happened but certainly something happened. a lot of people are on the record. on the other hand, he doesn't want to embrace details and have this story go on. he certainly is trying to put it behind him. >> what more can he do? what more can he do other than apologize and should you be held accountable for things you did in high school as you said all of us have made mistakes in high school? >> there's a tension between on one hand george bush said when i
7:10 am
was young and irresponsible, i was young and irresponsible. people bought that. we looked at presidents and their origin stories and stories from youth that have told us something about their character. that's why this is potentially dicey for him. it's only dicey if it continues to go on and on and that means somebody has to keep talking about it. >> john, there's a fund-raising story about the obama campaign. who will have financial advantage in this campaign? >> the president is probably going to have financial advantage in terms of money that goes right to his campaign but republicans have huge outside money going to those outside groups so they will probably have the advantage in terms of super pac money and third party groups but in terms of actual campaign, president obama has an extraordinary fund-raising machine. >> what do we know at this moment one day later about the president's position on same-sex marriage and the fallout from it? >> well, it's helping him with fund-raising. it's helping him with enthusiasm in his party. in a short-term way, it
7:11 am
certainly helps the president and he was able to talk about it last night at the fundraisers. enthusiasm for both candidates is important. he has the better of it on this right now. and he hopes, i think, that basically this will keep his base excited. it's also increased the republican base to the extent conservatives were nervous about mitt romney, this gives them another reason why they don't like the president. >> john dickerson, thank you very much. this morning the manhunt for murder and kidnapping suspect adam mayes is over. the two missing girls with him are safe. >> mayes killed himself last night in alpine, mississippi, after police caught up with him. mark strassmann is at the scene and brings us up to date now. mark, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, gayle and charlie and good morning to our viewers in the west. the manhunt had two goals all along. bring home little girls alive and get adam mayes however necessary. it did both and success game behind this church with a tip, a search and a gunshot.
7:12 am
>> we're very relieved at this event here tonight. we have two little girls that we can return to tennessee to their families. >> reporter: the hunt for adam mayes came to a dramatic end last night two weeks after he disappeared with 12-year-old alexandria bain and her 8-year-old sister kilimanjaro. investigators closed in on an area behind a small hispanic church. alexandria was spotted first and then mayes. >> officers immediately issued commands to adam mayes to show his hands. mayes pulled a semiautomatic pistol from his waistband and shot himself in the head. >> reporter: emergency responders brought the fugitive back to life twice before he died at a local hospital. the girls were suffering from exposure, dehydration and poison ivy and taken in for treatment as a precaution. the ordeal ended just three miles from mayes' home where the bodies of their mother and sister were found last saturday.
7:13 am
mayes' wife teresa said he killed them so he could take the girls. it's believed mayes considered a close family friend of the bains thought he was their father. the fbi crossed him off the most wanted list and his mother and wife are behind bars charged with involvement in the case. >> if we determine there was any person or persons that assisted adam mayes while he was on the run and with these girls, we plan on arresting and prosecuting them. >> reporter: right after mayes shot himself, they went up to the little girls getting up off the ground. went over to them and told them it would be okay and gave them a big hug. it was a huge relief that they were alive. all of this of course came one day after mayes' was added to the list of america's ten most wanted. >> mark strassmann in alpine, mississippi. the latest on the undercover agent who stopped the latest al qaeda bomb plot.
7:14 am
officials say he could have spent another week or two collecting information on al qaeda if his cover had not been blown. >> congress wants to know who did that by revealing the plot to bomb a airliner headed for the united states. >> good morning to you, gayle. congressional leaders who are being regularly briefed on this plot are furious about the plot saying it put lives at risk, hurt the operation and may have tipped off al qaeda to u.s. intelligence methods. the operation involved a double agent who had infiltrated al qaeda in the arabian peninsula and it was under way when someone leaked details to the associated press. >> why would you leak something like this? what do you have to gain from it? >> reporter: the leak forced agents to wrapped up the operation early and put others involved at risk. >> this isn't the ordinary leak where you talk about who mitt romney is going to pick for vice
7:15 am
president or how john boehner is going to support a highway bill or what nancy pelosi -- we're talking about life or death here. >> reporter: house homeland security chairman peter king called the leaker a criminal. >> this was one of the most sophisticated intelligence operations that we've ever run and we were having access to extremely vital information. and such a small universe of people knew about it. >> reporter: the associate press held off on running its story until after u.s. officials retrieved the nonmetallic device at the center of the foiled al qaeda plot. it's an upgraded version of the underwear bomb that this could be terrorist tried to ignite on a northwest flight in 2009. defense secretary leon panetta said the leak may make it more difficult to recruit foreign individuals to provide intelligence. >> when these leaks take place, i can't tell you how much they damage our ability to be able to pursue our intelligence efforts. >> reporter: there is always the possibility that the leak came
7:16 am
from one of our foreign partners in this operation. the british were involved. the saudis were involved and yesterday reports surfaced that a british intelligence officer may have been the double agent. >> with us now, john miller, senior correspondent and former deputy director of national intelligence. good morning. >> good morning. >> where do you think this leak investigation will go? >> right now it is sitting on a desk in the department of justice. they have a complex criteria they have to go through with classified information with leaking be criminal and the answer will be determined yes and yes especially with pressure from congress. when it is done sitting there, it will move across the street to the fbi and will go to the counterintelligence division and they will start down the road of who were the people who were read into the operation, who were the people they told and that can get pretty rough. that can be people holding a grand jury and people put on
7:17 am
polygraph and so they will probably turn the heat up. >> how angered were they over the fact that they may have lost two weeks before a lot of very good information? >> you know, charlie, this was a week of mixed emotions for the people on the operation side. you know, the great joy that comes with closing out an operation where you took a plot that would kill people and shut it down, but the bittersweet side of this leaked out too soon. we could have done more and we don't know what we could have accomplished with a little more time. >> i would think that because the circle is small about who knew about it, it will not be hard to find out who was the leak, is that not true? >> you know, washington can be a hall of mirrors. it's a town where information is e who knew is usually bigger than we know. >> and since the leak is out, do you think it's only a matter of time before we know who he is? >> i think we're going to get that. and i think we're not going to
7:18 am
get it from a government leak. i mean, i think -- that's the bright line, p the bright line is protecting the informant more than the existence. al qaeda of the arabian peninsula know who he is right now and they have his picture. they publish a magazine. i suspect fairly soon they'll have their own story about the informant and their own take on it which will be pretty interesting. >> there will be a real effort to protect him. >> he's going to be somewhere else with his family and new identity and big pile of cash. he'll be all right. >> time to show you this morning's headlines from around the globe. "usa today" says the government is set to release new standards for science education. a report released thursday showed eighth graders knowledge of basic science rose slightly last year. >> have you read about the ancient mayan prediction the world will end later this year? scientists discovered an ancient
7:19 am
mine calendar buried in a house that dates back to 8013 saying nothing about the world ending. >> a fighter plan frozen in time in the desert. it crashed in 1942 and has remained untouched. there are plans to retrieve the plane and put it in a museum. >> houston chronicle looks at a record growth in the number of foreign born residents in america. according to the latest census data, that number grew by 9 million between 2000 and 2010. nearly 13% of the population is foreign born. that's the most in nearly a century. it is now

7:32 am
against him. prosecutors saved their bombshell for the end playing edwards' 2008 interview with abc news where he was asked about the coverup of his affair. >> i've never paid a dime of money to any of the people that are involved. i've never asked anybody to pay a dime of money. never been told that any money has been paid. nothing has been done at my request. >> reporter: jurors will request wednesday's testimony of former press secretary-generaler if palmie palmieri. edwards listened as fred barron discussed keeping edwards' mistress rielle hunter under control spending time and money on her. several of the statements edwards made in that august 2008 interview were lies. for instance, he claimed the affair was over when it was ongoing and claimed hunter's baby wasn't his. former federal prosecutor kieran shanahan says the lies hurt his case but edwards still has a
7:33 am
case to plead. >> if he's able to convince a jury the reason for lying when he did in august of '08 was to protect his family, then he has a chance. >> reporter: shanahan says edwards might successfully argue he lied to keep wife elizabeth from knowing he fathered hunter's child but to convince a jury he'll have to speak for himself. >> i think he wants to take the stand. he believes that no withstanding everything that's been said, he has confidence he will convince the jury to see things his way. >> reporter: as edwards said during that interview, that will be their judgment to make. before that would happen, today the defense is expected to make a motion asking the judge to dismiss all of the charges against edwards if she does not, the defense will have its turn starting monday. charlie and gayle, back to you. >> all right. thank you. on thursday after the stock markets closed, jpmorgan chase, america's largest bank, announced it has lost $2 billion with a b in the past six weeks.

>> the stock is down sharply in the first hour of trading and s.e.c. says it is taking a look. rebecca jarvis is here for a broader look. good morning. >> good morning. >> put this in context. why is this significant coming as it does with this particular bank? >> first of all, this particular bank managed to stay out of trouble throughout the financial crisis. jpmorgan changed to turn a profit in the financial crisis so $2 billion in losses is a significant amount of losses. the other component of why this is important and important timing is we have reached a crucial moment in financial regulatory reform. regulators are looking at wall street right now and saying are these banks still able to take on the type of risks that would destabilize the system, that would allow for wall street to have all of the upside but still keep main street with the downside risk because ultimately here washington, d.c. is on the hook. the fdic insures these banks
7:35 am
like jpmorgan, bank of america, citi, if they fail. i'm not suggesting that they would. if they were to fail, we as taxpayers, would be holding the bag so that they could bail out their depositors. >> my impression is jamie dimon is saying that we sloppily handled this. this was a mistake. risk was not too great. >> that's his objective. if it turns out the risk was too great or they were engaging in practice that goes outside of the boundaries of current regulations, by the way it might not, the regulations as they stand don't have a lot of teeth right now in protecting banks from doing and conducting these kinds of risky things. however, he wants to make this as a one-time affair so we don't go down the road and banks face more regulation. >> do those of us who have chase bank accounts or accounts at other banks should we be worried as we sit here today? >> you shouldn't. banks right now have 250 -- if you have $250,000 in a bank, you are guaranteed by an fdic
7:36 am
insured bank to be bailed out in the event that the bank goes under. nobody is suggesting that right now that any of these banks are in that position. it is the fact that the taxpayer is ultimately on the hook for these losses and of course you're going to see in your retirement savings -- >> they seem to be saying this would have been within the volcker rule. volcker rule which leads people to question do we need something stronger. banks have pushed back saying if we have something stronger or the volcker rule as it stands, we can't stay competitive in a global environment. >> thank you. >> it is stunning that it happened to quickly and happened to chase. >> you take that big of a bet, that's what happens. >> i see. >> thank you, rebecca jarvis. >> a thumbs up to the first new diet drug in years. we'll look at potential risk. fbi agents say a suspected mobster may have something to do with the world's biggest art theft. we'll look at the search for evidence 22 years later. you're watching "cbs this morning."

there may be a new lead this morning in the notorious art museum robbery in boston. for 22 years no one has been charged. >> on thursday the fbi returned to the home of a refuted mobster who may be connected to the case. >> for the second time in three months, fbi agents were back searching the connecticut property. they believe the 75 year old has information on what's considered the biggest art heist in history. the 1990 theft of art work worth more than half a billion dollars from boston's isabella stewart gardner museum. >> they arrested my client for a drug case so that they could execute search warrants for his
7:42 am
house because they believe he has the art work in his house. >> reporter: prosecutors say that he has ties to boston and philadelphia crime families. he's being held on federal drug and weapons charges. his lawyer insists his client knows nothing about the notorious robbery. it was around 1:30 in the morning on march 18th, 1990, when two thieves dressed as cops tricked museum security guards into letting them into the building. the robbers handcuffed the guards, duct taped their hands, feet and heads and spent 81 minutes prowling the building. their take included 13 paintings of sketches. some paintings were sliced out of their frames. the mystery captivated the art world. in 1992, morley safer examined the case on "60 minutes." >> the guards were overwhelmed, bound and gagged and thieves went to work.
7:43 am
>> reporter: 22 years after the heist, there's been no sign of the paintings or sketches. >> i have no idea why anyone would steal world famous paintings like these. it is incomprehensible to me. >> reporter: richard feigen has worked as an art deal for 55 years. it says it would be impossible to sell art work to anyone. have you heard any rumors about what might have happened to these paintings? >> first of all, my ear isn't the underworld. i have no idea. the art world knows no more than what we read in newspapers. i haven't heard a word. >> reporter: the fbi found two guns at the property yesterday. the fbi isn't commenting. the gardner museum is offering a $5 million reward for any information that leads to recovery of the stolen art work. >> they know something. they don't just show up and say let me dig up your yard. >> they are not talking.
