or as we like to call it, "50 shades of gay." welcome to "cbs this morning" one of the president's people is facing problems this morning. john bryson ran into two cars on saturday evening. he faces felony hit-and-run charges. >> details are emerging this morning, bill, what do we know so far. >> good morning to our viewers in the west. the 68-year-old suffered a seizure. he was here in town to deliver a commencement address. he had been sworn in in october of last year. here is what we now know, on saturday at about 5:00 p.m., he was driving a luxus on san

gabriel boulevard. he hit a car waiting for a train and hit the same car again. they say he drove to rosemead. he was fund ound. two of the people complained of ppain, another complained of pan but declined being streeted. he was sited for fron hit-and-run for the first accident. >> bill, how would you characterize or what do people say about his behavior at the scene? >> people say he was accounting

strangely. he asked to exchange information, but he got in his car, put it in reverse, and hit it a second time. >> bill, good morning. >> good morning, the white house really hasn't had anything to say about this today, because i think they really didn't know exactly what was going on until recently and there has been no comment on the pending criminal charges. for the president this wasn't a great weekend politically because republicans continue to blast his remarks on friday about the relative health of the private sector. >> mitch daniels joined the chorus of republicans denouncing the president's statement that the private sector is doing just fine. >> he does not understand where wealth and jobs comes from.

>> mr. obama blamed congress for not moving on his jobs bills. particularly the one that gives jobs to teachers and first responders. >> we created 4.3 million jobs over the last 27 months. over 800,000 just this year alone. the private sector is doing fine. >> that last sentence taken alone forced the president to correct the record later in the day. >> listen, it is absolutely clear that the economy is not doing fine. >> even though the bureau of labor statistics shows that the private sector has grown by 2 million jobs and 161,000 jobs were cut in the same period, the damage was done. the romney campaign quickly

putting out an ad. >> the private sector is doing fine. >> they have been on the defense about leaks of classified information in two recent books. the administration appointed two u.s. attorneys outside washington to investigate and republicans charge that the leaks came from inside sources trying to boost the president's reelection chances. >> this is the most highly classified information and has been leaked by the administration. >> what goes around comes around. the rumor is it was mccain who had a similar gaffe of his own in the 2008 race. his was on the economy. then senator obama's campaign highlighted mccain saying the fundamentals of the economy are strong. and so it goes.

>> thank you, bill. david axelrod is with us here in studio 57, we're pleased to have him here. >> thank you, good to be here. >> tell us one more time on the private sector. >> that again, huh? >> what did the president mean to say? >> what he meant to say, is in the last 27 million months we created 4.3 million private sector jobs. >> why did he say they were doing nine? >> he called a press conference to suggest urgent actions because of the clouds rolling in from europe. he said we need to accelerate job creation. there's no confusion in the minds of most americans. this is what we do in campaigns. the question is what it means. is there a meaning to it in

november? will people will making judgments on this? no, they will jung what the president has done. the one meaningful thing that came out of the weekend was the president suggested a series of steps for jobs, helping people refinance their homes, getting red tape out of the way, and rehiring and helping state and local governments hire teachers, firefighters, and police. romney's reaction is we don't need any more teachers. we lost 250,000 teachers. and i don't know anybody, and you talk to people all the sometime about the economy and the future, does anybody really believe we don't need more teachers? that we'll advance as a country? that's a serious debate. >> should the debate here and now be about what the president wants to do in the second term

verses what president romney would do in his first term? >> i think certainly -- that's ultimately what elections are about. they about the future and there is a very clear distinction because the president believes we need to bring down these deficits. energy, the kind of things that will help the middle class grow, create good jobs and prepare people. governor romney wants to go back to what we did before. budget tax cuts for the wealthy. we have seen this movie before, we know how it ends, that's not a plan for the future that's an echo of a failed past. >> let me turn to the investigation. the president to be upset about the leaks.

where did they come from? >> i sat with the president for two years and watched him make these excruciating decisions, protecting the american people. the last thing he or anyone in the white house wants is to do anything that would jeopardize those decisions. he is as outraged as anybody. we have been attacked for being too hard on leaks and going after leakers. this administration has been tougher on that than anyone. >> you don't think it came from the security in the white house? >> one last question. is this eric holder conflict between you and him basically because you wanted to have political influence at the justice department? >> t

. >> absolutely not. i suggested a communications person -- >> on your staff? >> not from my staff, someone from the outside. he did not want that. and that's fine. but i was very careful about -- >> it wasn't someone from the campaign. but here is the point. in the last administration, the mill white house was reached into by the department of justice in ways that were inappropriate. >> he seems to be up set about it. >> well, charlie, we worked together for years, you're going to have moments like that. the fact is i have a great relationship with eric. we're an alumni from the same high school, i wouldn't make too much of that. >> we need to ask you about this news of day, have you spoke within the president? has the president been in touch

with him at all? >> this news broke overnight, i don't really have anything to contribute to that. it's obviously concerning, but i'm not going to comment because i don't know any of the details. >> it's a tough way to start the weekend. >> you know what, erica, at the end of the day there is bigger things on the minds of the american people. how we can build a middle class. that's how they will judge this campaign, not on veez individual moments or days in june. >> thank you, good to be with you. >> now dangerous conditions in colorado. they are battling a huge wild fire in the canyons 15 miles northwest. >> reporter: good morning

charlie and erica. the fire has now spread to 2700 acres. officials say it was probably not started by humans, more likely a lightning strike. >> it's easy to see why the high park fire has proven to be a tough adversary for firefighters, but it's been even more frightening for those on the ground. >> i had to drive past it, and i kept thinking just keep driving, you know, just keep driving. did you leave anything behind, pets? >> no, that was our first priority. two dogs, two cats, and each other. >> one couple picked the wrong day to get married. the bride and groom decided to shorten their ceremony and flee along with their wedding guests.

>> they got their "i dos" done, and then left. >> they might have to ban fireworks on the fourth of july. >> conditions give indication we will be at risk all summer long. >> we have dozens of engines up there and hundreds of homes. we can't afford to get firefighters trapped back in some of those far back areas. >> hundreds of firefighters are on the ground. the fire is creating it's own weather, pushing and pulling the winds in all directions. >> no containment at this time, just get people out of the way. >> the thick smoke is spreading across this part of colorado and more and into wyoming and 200 miles east into nebraska. back to you. >> thank you, the problem in the

florida panhandle isn't fire rather but rain and lots of it. more expected after a weekend of flash flooding. parts of pensacola were swamped with 15 inches of rain. flooding extends over a wide area of the gulf coast. >> at this apartment complexion, the nearby creek overflowed. the untable retiree without insurance tried to line his sliding doors with towels. >> everything got washed away. my tv, couch, love seat, chair, everything. >> although they have no damage aeszment, the toll on motorist is clear. >> it was deeper than we thought, and watcher watched up and drowned the engine out.

his testimony to february 2001. >> this is very damaging to his testimony because the jury will be asking itself if mike mcqueary who has no dog in the fight, is making up a story, could the others be making up a story as well? >> we learned they are learning toward putting one victim a day on the stand to remind the jury of the alleged abuse. >> thanks, cbs news legal analyst is with us. we start a new trial. >> there's always a new trial. what's the challenge for the prosecution and for the defense? >> the prosecution, you look at it and you have allegations spanning 15 years. here is what the prosecution has to deal with here and we have problems over the years. they have to get the jury to

understand there's real validity in these claims. the prosecution has to get jurors comfortable with their recollections. we have seen issues in the past about issues being raised about young boys being coached or young children being coached about their testimony, or what they calls false recollection where something gets embedded in the mind of a child and they embrace it and tend to believe it. here we don't know what happens, but the prosecution will argument forget about false recollections and coaching. this is real, it happened, and jerry did this to these children. the defense on the other side, there is one of three arguments, there has to be maybe there was contact, but not criminal, awkward an uncomfortable, but not criminal. or maybe it was implanted memories, or maybe the

suggestion that somebody is doing this to make money. you is see there is serious hurdles for both sides here. >> woe talk often about how jurors take their responsibility very seriously. there is a number of people with sighs to penn state, is that a concern? >> it's fascinating, isn't it? people think you can't be a juror if you have a connection to the case. you can say i go to penn state, i work at penn state, but i have not made up my mind yet. that makes you an okay juror. it's still interesting, can you divorce yourself completely from that? the prosecution early on was urging the idea of moving this trial. that's what you hear from the defense? like casey anthony, we have to get out of this county, can't

get a fair trial, for the prosecution to be worried about that is unusual. they think they found people however that will be fair and impartial. >> as always, thank you. >> what needs to happen to get the economy on the right track? we'll talk business and politics with paul krugman of the "new york times" on "cbs this morning."

are translating to more private sector jobs too. that's what he was trying to get at and of course he screwed up the line. >> what do you make of the decision over the weekend to provide some liquidity to those banks? >> europeans have a habit now, they come up to the edge and they do something that buys them a little time, and what they do with that time is nothing. the spanish banks are looking shaky, so the europeans made a loan to the government that pulls them back from the edge, but then what? >> what could go badly between now and the election? that could have repercussions for the economy. >> one is a gigantic fanl crisis. that would be european banks

going under or a break up or the euro. a crisis ever where. something that looks like scenes from the 1930s, but i just think that the europeans will do what's necessary to stop that. the other is a nasty recession which is probably already under way in europe. that's of less harm than people think. when all is said and done, about 2% of what we make is sold in europe. >> so that demand from europe would dry up? >> yeah, which hurts but it's not huge. >> but if there was a lehman like situation -- >> i think that is a given whether it will happen before november or not. >> italy would be even more -- >> yeah. but then even so the question is does that lead to widespread bank failures? and not necessarily they might be able to contain that.

david mccullough is obviously a famous historian and your mother is a remarkable woman. >> well, thank you. they're pleased, i think. >> how about better than pleased? >> i can't speak to that. i hope they're proud of what i said. >> yeah. >> it's been upsetting to me for a couple of reasons. one is that i've become the story, and it was their graduation. we were there to celebrate their achievement, their beginning and now the cam are is on me. they shouldn't be. the other is the distortion of what i said in the beginning. >> how long did it take you to write it, david? >> 26 years and 2 hours. >> explain. >> well, i've been teaching high school kids for 26 years and in that time one comes to see what kids need to be told. >> yeah. >> these are wonderful kids, and one grows very fond of them and proud of them but that doesn't mean you should indulge them

with things with platitudes or false encouragement. i wanted to give them with their privilege comes responsibility. >> do you think they're complacent about their privilege? >> some. some take it for granted. others interpret it as a leg up on the competition. >> are they different men four years ago, five years ago? >> yes. >> how so? >> i think it's the influence of, surprise, surprise, loof electronic media. it's the influence of the blogosphere which i now know. >> how has it been achieved. >> their attention spans are diminishing. their interest in things that don't really matter so much have become more preoccupied for them, i think. >> what about their interest in themselves? >> part of this, too, is the way they're being raised. like i said, they're doted upon.

i'm as guilty as anyone. i have four children, three teenagers. we're raising them the same way people of wellesley are raising their kids. th people of wellesley are good people. people with means see opportunities for their children and they think, great, why not, and they start overscheduling their kids. with these opportunities come expectations. >> yeah. >> the kids feel the strain of those expectations. they understand that what they're supposed to be -- what they're supposed to achieve with all they've been given is an ivy league admissions for the nescac. >> instantly. >> instantly. >> i think it's important to talk about how you wrapped this up. the sweetest stories of life come then only with the recognition that you're not special because everyone is. congratulations. good luck. make for yourself, please for your sake and ours, extraordinary lives. i think in the end if they come away with that message, that's really wonderful. >> thank you. >> if you lead an extraordinary life, if you make life beyond

yourself. & >> precisely. yeah. and it's great for yourself. it feels way better to do something for someone else than something for yourself. >> you think if people listened to the whole speech they would have a different impression? >> yeah. >> it was so overwhelmingly good. >> imagine that. >> that's why i gave the whole speech. i didn't stop. >> i'm thinking, david, you won't be having lunch with donald trump any time soon. he likes to respond to people who take digs. >> i'm sure he's a very nice man. we've not met. he's probably a special person. >> but if shakespeare was alive today he would be blogging and dickens would be blogging. >> no. >> i bet you dickens would. >> not shakespeare. he'd be out in l.a. >> making movies. >> nice to have you,,,,

40 years ago this week burglars broke into the democratic party headquarters in watergate in washington, d.c. that led to the only resignation of a u.s. president. this morning watergate reporters tell us how the break-in was really just part of that story. before we get to that though we'll give you a quick check of this morning's health watch.

good morning. in today's health watch, weight and breast cancer. if you want to lower your breast cancer risk, dropping a few pounds may just do it. a new study involved 439 overweight or obese post menopausal women ages 50 to 75 who were not on hormone therapy. they were divided into four groups. one group dieted, another did intensive exercise, a third group dieted and exercised, and a control group didn't change their diet or exercise habits. at the end of the year-long study women in the diet or diet plus exercise group lost an average of 10% of their body weight. they also saw significant reductions in levels of estrogen and other hormones associated with breast cancer. the study's author estimate a 5% weight loss could lower breast cancer risk by 22%. women in the exercise only and control group didn't lose weight overall and they also didn't

lower their hormone levels. the study shows just a small weight loss could lower your breast cancer risk and of course it comes with a host of other health benefits as well. i'm dr. holly phillips. cbs health watch sponsored by v8, 100% vegetable juice. could have had a v8 hmmm. for half the calories plus veggie nutrition. could've had a v8. when i had my heart event. and i've been on a bayer aspirin regimen ever since.

this week marks the 40th anniversary of the watergate break in. it was part of a chain of scandalous events that forced president richard nixon to resign and changed american politics forever. >> and terrell brown reports, the two reporters who broke the story now say that watergate was only part of the story. >> reporter: bod woodward and carl bernstein were young unknown "the washington post" reporters the day they were called to cover a burglary at

the watergate complex. they remember the moment they realized how big the story would be. >> we would have coffee off the newsroom floor. put a dime in the machine. i felt this chill go down by mac. i said to woodward, oh my god, this president is going to be impeached. >> reporter: it was eight weeks after five men had broke sboon the democratic headquarters at watergate. with some old fashioned investigative reportering they tied the break in to the white house and richard nixon's re-election campaign. sunday the two looked back on the story on "face the nation" and in a "the washington post" article. their first joint byline for the paper in 36 years. >> what we found is his white house became to a remarkable extent a criminal enterprise. such as we've never had in our history. >> people have got to know whether or not their president's a crook. well i'm not a crook. >> reporter: nixon repeatedly denied any involvement in the scandal. >> i neither took part in nor

knew about any of the subs subsequent cover up activities. >> reporter: but his own autopsy capture him discussing hush money. >> that's what began a kind of the unraveling of watergate and the unraveling of who was richard nixon? and you listened to these tapes and it is -- talk about blackmail, cover ups. >> blackmail of his predecessor in office, lyndon johnson. >> reporter: they say most people didn't believe their story until walter cronkite went on the air with it. >> the high level campaign of political sabotage and espionage apparently unparalleled in american history. >> reporter: since then the watergate saga has been retold over and over again in books and films. >> you tell me what you know and i'll confirm. >> reporter: even the mystery of deep throat, the watergate whistle blower lasted until 2005 when mark fell s, a retired

associate director for the fbi finally came forward. >> we saw him on television. and we actually before he died went out to see and this was a man liberated because finally he could tell the truth. >> reporter: to this day nixon is the only president in history ever forced to resign. for the two reporters instrumental in taking him down, there's still one thing that stands out. >> carl and i have talked over the years we keep looking for a tape where somebody says, what would be good for the country? what does the country need? it was always about nixon. >> reporter: for cbs this morning, i'm terrell brown. >> wow. this is such an amazing story. not only because it changed history, but also because it spanned a whole lot of young people that wanted to be journalists because of what woodward and bernstein did. i'm going to be at the watergate tonight where "the washington

post" is sponsoring a whole series and honoring ben bradly and i'm going to interview bob and carl. >> i never get enough of this story. i think what it must have been like for them back in the day to have this incredible story and nobody believe you. it's inconceivable to think that the white house was a criminal enterprise. that's inconceivable to think of the white house in those terms. >> we're still so fascinated by it today. bob schieffer did a great thing about how he tried to get out of covering this watergate thing because he didn't think it was a big deal at the time. >> charlie, what are you going to ask him? i'm kidding. we will have to watch. it's great. >> it's going to be good. these guys have both had an interesting life beyond watergate. we'll talk about that as well. >> also ahead this morning, a little more on the google art project. that's ahead on cbs this morning.

started. essentially sitting there working on a couple of other products, grade schoolle maps, android. we just talking about museums. i loved going to museums. we were trying to do small projects with museums. we realized wouldn't it be awesome if we could bring all the museums together. and we started talking about the tate and moma. they thought it was crazy initially. then they warmed. let's try it. >> it's working well. what's been the reactions of the museums? how many countries and museums signed up? >> initially we had nine countries and 17 museums. the last ten months we added 141. the reactions is pretty fostered. a lot of questions. what is the future of the museum? can this supplement the real thing? >> our view is of course.

it's for people who can't visit these museums that's special. >> that's the extraordinary thing for me. it gives lots of people around the world an opportunity to access the joy of art and the contribution of art. you can really go there and see stuff you can see in books, but to see it there and change the realm. how many museums said we'll pass? >> a few. a few. i think the ones that said no in the first phase, joinsed us in the second phase. there are a couple that think it's a great idea, but not for them. that's great. it's not a problem. a couple european ones have still held out. >> i want to go online and see the mona lisa i can go to google art. >> you can't. we don't have the louvre. >> they haven't signed on. >> no. they said the project is not resourced heavily. we approach them and say we have this idea. they say let's see how this

develops. you can see a different mona lisa. >> not quite the same. >> if you go online and see something, and say i want to send this to friends. you even made it easy for us to share it with other people, twitter, facebook, email. i love this. >> the biggest feature on the site that made me happy is something called user collection. this is any of us now can take collections and take artwork from different museums put them together and and share it. >> you can curuate your own exhibition. >> i try not to use cue rate because it gets me into trouble with the museums. >> you aggregate it. and are there instructional things that come with this as well as seeing the pictures? >> full all the museums provide us with detail about the artwork, there's an education section. it's really for two people. one want todom and get a glimpse

and the others who want to spend an entire weekend. >> is this a profit making venture for google? >> no. that's one of the things we decided early on this was a completely nonprofit venture for us. all the museums don't want us to -- >> make money after their paintings. >> we are totally good with that. we are investing in this and it's working. >> what's google's reaction when you said i want to do this. >> i think my boss at the time looked at me and said as long as it doesn't interfere with your day job. >> you have the 20%. explain how that works. >> you're doing your day job. you're meeting interesting people at google. you come up with an idea. you pitch it to your boss. you say i want to do it. i'll make it work. if if your boss is nice to you, you can get permission to do that. after that now i'm 100% on the project with a small team in london and google is helping all over the world. >> an extraordinary idea. thank you.

>> thank you. >> we've all seen "american gothic", don't you know the house in that painting is real. the woman who lives us will tell us why she moved from out in ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

good morning, seattle. 82 years ago grant wood painted a portrait of a man, a woman and a pitch fork in front of a farmhouse. that painting "american gothic" is one of the best known works of american art. >> the house and painting still stands as michelle miller reports, the woman who lives there gave up life in the fast lane for the values of america's heartland. >> reporter: the little house in eldon, iowa, has come to speak volumes about america's hard working simple past. even just a glimpse of it

between the dower farmer and his spinster daughter in the "american gothic" painting by grant woods. people still stand in front of it dressed up like the pair did some 80 years ago. around here gothic americans still matter. it was celebrated saturday at the gothic days festival. now, though, there's an unlikely tenant living inside the tiny old house. beth howard is an author who makes pies. lots of them. she used to make pies in malibu and counted barbra streisand and steven spielberg among her customers. >> we have one stove, one fridge, you make 60 pies a day. >> reporter: you mean how i make a living? >> no. >> reporter: you can't make a living on pie? >> no. it's passion. it's good for the community. it brings people here. >> reporter: people come from all over to her pitch fork pie stand. >> hi marlene, you're from

minnesota? >> reporter: in a town that has seen better days, before the railroad closed and the population dropped from 2,000 to 950, quiet eldon on the des moines river has received an unexpected jolt from beth howard. locals join her to make the pies. and high school students get to work in a place where there isn't much work. it's addictive. >> you can use a spoon, i like to mix stuff with my hands. >> reporter: beth came here. came back to her native iowa after a long trip in the fast lane. you've been a coffee importer, writer, publicist -- >> web producer. right. that web producing job is the thing that sent me into what i call my pie baking sabbatical. i spent 16 hours a day in front of a computer. >> reporter: but it was the sudden death of her husband in

2009 that caused her to change her life. >> what brought me back here was my grief. it was the one-year anniversary of his death. he died of a ruptured aorta. i wanted to be somewhere that i thought would be grounding and distracting. first and foremost i saw this as a writer's retreat. it's tucked away, very rural and quiet. in the winter, but not in the summer. if you can't beat them join them. >> reporter: her home though not open to the public also is an iowa state run tourist attraction. >> i feel like what i am is a risk taker. everyone tried to talk me out of renting this house. i just said i don't know how it's all going to work out, but i'm willing to give it a shot. that's what i think most people are afraid to just try it. >> reporter: she has been the american gothic house resident for two years. she wrote making piece, a memoir of love, loss and pie sitting here at the table where she

rolls out the dough and overcame her fears. >> i tasted one of your pies last week, it changed my life. >> reporter: the pitch fork pie stand sells more than 80 pies on a summer weekend. she says she doesn't do it for the money. the one thing she's clear on, is she does it for piece. >> great story. >> i've never had a pie that changed my life. i need to go to eldon. >> we need to try them. >> the thing that stuck with me with that story, i always thought that painting was a husband and wife. did you know she said he was the husband and spinster daughter. >> no. >> we learn something new every day. a, the spinster daughter and b, pie can change your life. >> i was struck by the notion of the tragedy and how that affected her. where do you go to seek some relief and some sense of change from grief. >> she figured that out.

>> we now talk about a company that's not having any grief. having lost their founder steve jobs, apple is holding its annual development conference this morning without steve jobs. we'll see what new products are in the pipeline right here on "cbs this morning." now wherever you go, get instant,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

>> thank you. >> what do we expect? >> we expect a lot of focus on mobile. >> mobile. >> people still think of apple as apple computer. they changed their name years ago to just apple. that was very important. we're going to see an emphasis on what they do today, ipad, iphone and the ipod touch. that's the majority of their business now. computers are almost a sideline, which is remarkable. that's how far the world has come in the last few years. everything we do now is on tablets and phones for the most part. they're going to be moving to the point where we're going to be seeing a lot of emphasis on developers, people who write software can do more on the devices. they should be rolling out their own navigation applications. right now they use google. we're going to see them with their own maps. >> do you think they're feeling nervous? do you know they're thinking this is the first presentation since the death of steve jobs, we've got to really be good? >> it's the first of these conferences since jobs.

a lot of people were asking, who's the new visionary? who's the one person? apple is full of vacation their. who's the one? the sharp nose cone on the missile. we haven't identified one. tim cook is a brilliant operational guy. he knows how to run a company, a tech company brilliantly. phil shiler is the head of marketing there. you may have seen commercials with stars in them. >> not everybody likes those. not everybody loves his style. >> they've been controversial. apple seems to be leaning on an implied celebrity endorsement for the first time in ages if ever. this is also trying too hard. the question is is apple taking a new take on their messaging. do they feel they have to do something to scramble? are they the quietly self-confident company? >> what was in the pipeline before steve died? >> everything we've seen so far. his fingerprints are still on

there everywhere. he had his fingerprints on the new ipad, fie phone 4 s. even the new iphone in a few months. once we cross 2013, we'll start to really see the new apple. >> what's the new iphone going to be like? >> we expect it to have a larger screen for sure. that's not coming out today. we expect it to have a larger screen. right now it's a tiny phone. everyone's gone to giant four inch screens. who makes calls anymore. you use them as a tablet. >> you take that around with you wherever you go? >> correct. i carry an apad and phone. >> i'm not huge on the tablet. the smart phone is where most of us have gone because it's more portable. it's more intuitive. i grab it and it's there. >> what's apple tv going to be? >> in your purse? >> apple tv is going to get an update we think to have an opportunity for developers to write programs and new features for it. right now apple controls that

apple tv box. which lets you stream television to your full screen. but developers can't get in there. there are hundreds of thousands of apps for mobile devices. it's not available yet. we expect that may be opened up to those developers. >> i don't know some friends of mine have apple tv, it looks very cool. >> gorgeous. >> do you think the day we all think we need apple tv? >> without a doubt, the concept of over the top you get television over the top of your existing home broad connection is the future. it absolutely is. the question is will it be apple tv or apple television, a google powered tv, one of these current samsung tv's? >> what about the question of when? a lot of these thins sound great, but realistically, when is it going to work for everyone? >> you hear about cutting the cord. this idea of saying forget the cable company, the satellite. i'm going to go to internet. you lose a lot of things right now. you have to work harder to get

content from a lot of live shows and things that aren't available. it's going to take the better part of a decade. but that's not long by the time we get there. >> what do you think the thing is that apple needs to do at the developers conference? >> the thing that i can't identify to wow us. it's been several years since they have changed the horizon. where is the new iphone, the new tablet, the new apple television? they've been evolving very well lately. but not revolutionary. >> i think what they have to do is convince everybody that there's an apple beyond steve jobs. >> and that's for both investors as well as for the consumers that understood jobs is what i was buying into. but they got it. >> to your point, what jobs would always say he created the i think this is you didn't know you needed until it was there. it's not clear that they have that person. >> maybe there isn't one out there. >> there is this notion that facebook and apple and google

and amazon are fighting with each other for dominance. what's the goal? >> the goal right now is to be present on all my devices. in all my places in my life. as opposed to being something i use on a desktop and do this on a phone and this on a tablet. all these screens connect to become constant all the time. >> i'm trying to figure out how accessible i want to be. that's what i'm trying to do. >> that does us for us here. up next your local news, we will see you tomorrow on "cbs this morning." we hope you'll be back. see you then. >>
