7:02 am
swimming pool. >> we need to all get along. that's how i would like to be remembered after i'm dead and gone. northern colorado continues to burn. the crews have evacuated their 330 additional homes. the growing wildfire in san diego county. 150 homes under mandatory evacuation orders. >> i'm getting sacked and the person sacking me is getting down and tebowing. an argentinian player had an all out temper tantrum. >> i think we might have a disqualification here. >> and all that matters -- >> handoff to wade on the drive, the reverse and one. miami will take the 2-1 lead in these nba finals. >> on cbs "this morning." webb simpson is the 2012 united states open champion. >> it was a slow start but i knew that -- [ bird calls ] >> always something to spice matters up. >> enjoy the jail cell, pal. captioning funded by cbs
7:03 am
welcome to cbs "this morning." stocks are opening lower on wall street after losses in european markets. investors may need time to rebuild confidence after sunday's election in greece. >> greek parties supporting budget cuts and bailouts are working to form a new government. that will prevent greece from dumping the euro and touching off a major economic crisis. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie and erica. well, the headline of this newspaper really says it all, a result that brings a breath of relief for the country and that's what the mood here is in greece. it's more about relief than jubilation. for many people new democracy was simply the least worst option. as new democracy lead er an ntonis samaras declared victory, it was a sigh of relief. >> the ability of europe.
7:04 am
>> reporter: for many this election was seen as a referendum on greece's future in the european monetary union, a choice between anti-austerity left wing syriza party and the central right new democracy party who vowed to keep greece in europe at all costs. >> today the greek people express their will to stay anchored with the euro, remain an integral part of the eurozone, honor the country's commitment and force their growth. >> reporter: it will not be an easy road. after five consecutive years of recession, almost one-quarter of greeks are unemployed and the specter of renewed street riots hangs over the country. and the next government will face an emboldened opposition led by charismatic 37-year-old
7:05 am
alexis tsipras who vowed the people would keep up the fight against austerity. now the real trouble begins. new democracy needs to form a coalition government which is something that they were unable to do after the last election but with greece's money running out quickly, there's a sense this needs to get done and it needs to get done now. >> is there a sense of optimism in greece? what's the mood there? >> reporter: there's not a sense of optimism, to be honest, erica. i think there's a sense of impatience. this is a limited mandate. the people of greece have had enough. they can't take any more of this austerity and they need to start seeing changes soon. >> thank you very much. with us jillian tedd of "the financial times." >> thank you. >> what do you make of this election and how significant it will be in terms of not precipitating a kind of global disaster? >> i think the way the markets
7:06 am
reacted in asia and european trading said it all. i mean, people were initially relieved that the worst case scenario didn't come true and there is still a lot of concern about where the eurozone is going. the market went up and fell back in asia. and the catch phrase going around the market this morning is we've managed to avoid grexit, greek exit, for the moment. we're now into spanic, spanish panic, because we see signs are getting increasingly concerned with what's happening in spain. >> so what can they do about spain? >> well, what everyone is looking at right now is this g-20 summit in mexico and they're looking to see whether there's any sign the eurozone leaders can formulate a cohesive package to try and deal with the underlying problems in the y eurozone. and essentially that means moving towards turning europe more like the united states, if you'd like, in terms of how you manage the banking system and the financial system. >> that kind of united action
7:07 am
that prevented a total collapse of our system. >> exactly. what people are saying you need to see now is more like the united states and europe so you have a joint banking system. you have a kind of fdic program for europe, for all the european banks. and most importantly of all, you also see action to try to boost growth in terms of either issuing bonds to try and support projects and things like that. >> the best thing is if you listen to what's happening at the g-20 and they are concerned that the global recovery has stalled and they can't find the growth. >> absolutely. we have a survey this morning which we conducted with the brookings institute looking at what business leaders across the world are saying about growth and there is the feeling that we started the year feeling more optimistic and now the concern about europe, the feeling that things are stalled. if not people are getting panic strict stricken. you have companies across america and out west saying,
7:08 am
we're not going to invest. we're not going to hire people. consumers feeling nervous and saying maybe we'll wait. and if people get into that freezing mood, that really hurts the chance of a proper recovery. >> unfortunately a lot of that here in the u.s. is there anything the u.s. can or should be doing to help influence it? >> if you go back to the asian financial crisis in the late 1990s, back then people talked about the committee to save the world. the american leaders on 0 the world stage say, right, this ises what you need to do. today down in mexico you will certainly see american leaders saying, well, actually this is what you should do. but they don't have very much power to force anyone in europe to actually act. >> not quite the same influence they did. >> we've gone from the g-20 to a g-0 where there is nobody in charge right now. >> nice to have you here. thank you. this morning president obama is in mexico for the g-20 summit
7:09 am
jillian mentioned. >> norah o'donnell is traveling with the president in los cabos, mexico. what is the president saying about the greek elections and what it might mean to have nobody coming out of the eurozone? >> reporter: well, there was a collective sigh of relief among white house officialses but there's still a great deal of concern as one of the top advisers said the european crisis is still the greatest threat to the u.s. economy. so these world leaders from 20 of the world's most powerful economies are going to meet here, but white house officials are trying to downplay expectations. they say don't expect any magic solution. instead, they're hoping to agree on a framework for a critical meeting that comes two weeks from now amongst the european union in brussels. now the obama administration has said this european fiscal crisis is europe's problem and that europe has the compaapacity to e it but make no mistake, charlie, president obama has been actively involved in trying to
7:10 am
prod many of these leaders from the 17 nations that are part of the eurozone to come up with an agreement and do it quickly in order to stimulate not only the global economy but also the u.s. economy as well. >> also vladimir putin, the president of russia, what might he and the president talk about? >> reporter: well, that is the big story today here, charlie. the first face-to-face meeting between president obama and president vladimir putin since he regained the russian presidency at the top of the agenda is syria. russia has blocked two u.n. security council resolutions, and just last week secretary of state hillary clinton upped the game by accusing russia of continuing to ship arms to syria. the two leaders in a few hours from now will meet for more than an hour. also iran is on the agenda. they are trying to blunt eiran' nuclear ambitions. charlie? >> norah, thank you for joining us from los cabos, mexico. more on the summit and the
7:11 am
meeting with obama and putin. tonight on the "cbs evening news" with scott pelley. we turn to the political fallout from president obama's decision to stop deporting some illegal immigrants. >> the president announced that new policy friday so there was plenty of discussion over the weekend. the change left mitt romney in a bit of a sticky spot. jan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica. that is right. and romney talked to bob schieffer just a day after the president announced that new immigration policy and refused to answer bob's repeated and persistent questions about whether he would keep the policy if congress didn't act. >> and we're going to do it here in pennsylvania with your help. >> reporter: for romney, it's a tricky balancing act. courting the spanish vote but with a conservative base that wants tough immigration policy. >> would you repeal this order if you became president? >> well, sit back and look at the issue. >> but would you repeal this?
7:12 am
>> well, it would be overtaken by events, if you will, by virtue of my putting in place a long-term solution. >> reporter: the president's decision would allow some 800,000 people who came to the u.s. illegally as children to stay here if they meet certain conditio conditions. they could apply for work permits. romney said he sympathizes with children who came here illegally through no fault of their own, but says he wants a comprehensive immigration plan passed by congress and not a presidential decree which he said wreaks of election year politics. >> so he did it for politics? >> that's a big part of the equation. >> reporter: david plouffe came under tough questions of his own, candy crowley that the new policy was not driven by politi politics. >> we've been trying to get the dream act done. >> it was not done with political consideration? >> it was not, candy. >> five months before the election? >> who knows -- listen, who knows how the politics will turn out. but this decision -- >> probably pretty good.
7:13 am
>> it was the right decision. well, we'll see. >> reporter: romney plans to return to an issue he is more comfortable with, the economy. he it continues a bus tour monday in states mr. obama won in 2008. now today romney will be in wisconsin with congressman paul ryan. he's a key supporter and a conservative many would like to see as romney's potential nominee for vice president. erica, this is romney's first visit to which isconsin since s walker, the republican governor, won a recall election earlier this month. and that victory was seen as a big win for conservatives as they're now seeing the romney campaign hoping to pick up on some of that momentum during their visit. erica and charlie? >> jan crawford, thank you. let's bring in host of "face the nation" bob schieffer. bob, good morning. >> hey, charlie. >> let's talk about the timing on the part of president obama and what impact it might have on the republicans including the vice presidential selection. >> well, i mean, i thought it's
7:14 am
interesting to see mr. plouffe there saying this decision had nothing to do with politics in an election year. if that is so, i would think that mr. romney's refusal to get specific on what he would do about it also had nothing to do with politics. this is a political year and i think, frankly, that the president's move caught the romney campaign a little bit off guard. if not off guard, certainly it caught them by surprise and i think they're still crafting what governor romney's position on this would be. but one thing is for certain. yesterday it became very clear that we were not going to get an answer from governor romney on exactly what he would do about this. the immigration at the beginning of this year and by november it's still going to be a very big issue in this campaign, charlie. it's an issue that really has one of those things where there's a great divide between
7:15 am
republicans and democrats, liberals and conservatives. it's an issue and will be down to the wire. >> do they believe romney will have to tack to the center and have a different position than he had during the primary campai campaign? >> well, he cannot be unaware of the growing power of the hispanic vote. that is just a matter of fact. there are more and more hispanics now. a lot of them are down in florida. the hispanic vote in florida used to be cubans who tend to vote republican, but now you have a number of non-cuban hispanics in florida, one of of the battleground states, and they do not -- the non-cuban hispanics do not always tend to vote republican. a lot of them are democrats like the vast majority of the hispanics in texas. they generally are the most reliable of the democratic votes. >> one thing about governor
7:16 am
romney, he's using this time now to sort of test out possible running mates. paul ryan is with him. rubio has been with him. how do we know what this is about in terms of the immigration initiative making the chances of rubio more likely? >> well, i think it puts rubio on the short list. i don't think there's any question about that, but i'll tell you there's one thing i came away from all of this with, governor romney has not made up his mind who his vice presidential running mate is going to be. he may know in his heart of hearts, but he's not making any -- getting any hint of who it's going to be. in fact, one of the reasons i didn't even ask him during the interview is because before the interview and, you know, all week i've been talking to people on the campaign. they said, look, he's not going to tell you. you can ask him but you're not going to get any news on that.
7:17 am
so i didn't bring it up. and later when we were just riding on the bus and talking off camera, i said to him, i said, well governor, who is your running mate going to be? he said, if i told you i'd have to shoot you. i didn't think we were going to get anything. obviously he was joking. i always have to stress in this day of the internet and so forth. that was a j-o-k-e, joke. the bougttom line is they haven settled on who it's going to be. i would guess, charlie, they're going to make that announcement some time after the olympics and before the convention because with the democratic convention coming so closely on the heels of the republican one, they want to get a little publicity bump out of it and they wouldn't necessarily get that if they wa waited until the convention. but so far there is no decision made on who that's going to be. >> bob schieffer, thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> thanks, charlie. an islamist candidate is laiming victory.

7:31 am
1980s has been telling an amazing story. he's been hiding in plain sight all that time. he's living in stockholm, sweden under an assumed name. >> reporter: for nearly 30 years, david helmler harbored a secret. his family in america didn't know where he was, and his swedish wife didn't know who he really was. >> i have been living 28 years in lies, lying to my friends and family. >> reporter: he was a fugitive, a desserter. he fled his post at the air force base in germany in 1984, reportedly distraught over president ronald reagan's policies regarding nicaragua, south africa and iraq. >> i started feeling pretty bad. i just left and started fainting. i asked for a discharge. >> reporter: when his request was denied, he vanished and his
7:32 am
family feared the worst. >> i personally believed he committed suicide. he had depression issues back then. >> reporter: but he was not dead. he was actually alive and well, having hitchhiked from his base in southern germany to copenhagen, denmark, and eventually to stockholm, sweden, a journey of over 1,000 miles. as he told the swedish newspaper, he took on a fake name, got married, fathered three children, and even got a job with the swedish government. >> i just waited until i would get caught but the months went, i didn't get caught. >> reporter: even so, the air force says they never stopped looking for him. they suspected he was hiding in sweden and made him one of their eight most wanted fugitives, even releasing an age progressed picture. but he was able to stay one step ahead because no one knew his true identity. not even his wife. still, decades of living on the run eventually wore him down.
7:33 am
this may he finally spoke with his younger brother, tom. >> i understood immediately. so did everyone in my family. not one person in the family was upset with him in any way. we were just blessed and ecstatic. >> reporter: by coming forward so publicly now, hemler hopes his wife and children will not be caught off guard if he is ever arrested. for now though, he's safe in sweden which won't extradite him to the u.s. >> so i hope that the authorities can say that i've already been punished enough. my hope is to be able to return to see my parents in the united states. >> reporter: the air force doesn't quite see it that way. they're just waiting for the moment hemler sets foot outside sweden. when he does, they say they will finally get their man. for cbs "this morning," michelle miller in new york. former airman david hemler is with us now from stockholm.
7:34 am
good morning. >> good afternoon. >> looking back, are you satisfied with what you did or do you look back with regret? >> oh, of course i look back with regret. i got myself in a big mess about 28 years ago. i didn't know how to get out of it. of course, if i have a chance to go back and do things differently. >> what would you do differently? >> i probably would have talked more. i had problems and didn't have anyone to talk about my problems and felt so despaired, i just had to get away. if i could go back again, i know that i have to talk a little bit more seriously and and make more demands about my needs. >> you said you feel that you've been punished enough at this point. yet there could be further punishment. do you feel that you're now above that? >> what do you mean above that. my parents have been -- i've been without my parents 28 years.
7:35 am
it feels like i've been punished enough. the other thing is that i would be punished by sitting in a military prison a few years that would affect other people. it would affect my parents. they would like to see me. it would affect my wife and children if i would have to be away also. >> so if you're concerned about that, why come forward? >> because if i to see my parents and my children have to see their grandparents. >> the question i still don't really understand is, yes, you want to see your parents. and yes, everyone would like that opportunity. but do you believe that the air force believes that you deserve punishment? >> i don't know at this time. it's been a long time. it's hard to understand why after this long time what any punishment would do. it wouldn't try to correct me never to do the same thing again because of course i would never do it again.
7:36 am
basic reason i don't understand why. i know i was wrong leaving the base but i had asked for a discharge and was refused. i think i was recruited at too early of an age also. i didn't really know what i wanted to do then. >> you said part of the reason you did this was for your children. do you believe this is the example that you wanted to set for your children, that you'd like them to follow? >> no, i don't. i want to help them through their lives so they don't have to go through the same mistakes that i have. >> do you believe at all that you're showing them you can do something without consequence? >> i think i've had very serious consequences already. basically what i'm trying to say is the consequences of sitting in a military prison would affect other people also. probably more than myself. my parents not being able to see me and my children and wife also missing me if i had's be away. >> david hemler, thank you for joining us this morning.

diving on friday at the ushlging urge i urging of his wife. >> reporter: sky diving. it tops so many people's list of things they just got to try despite the deadly risk. when 49-year-old manhattan real estate executive david winoker took the leap last friday to celebrate his friend's 50th birthday, he assumed his life was in capable hands. harnessed to his instructor, the husband and father of three jumped out of an airplane. witnesses told police there was a parachute malfunction. moments later winoker and his 25-year-old instructor hit the ground and were killed. the united states parachute association says 3 million people sky dive in the country every year. in 2011, there were 21 related
7:43 am
fatalities. of those, just one was a tandem jump like winoker's. >> nobody will tell that you sky diving is completely safe. >> reporter: the uspa acts as a non-governmental regulatory body in a mostly self-regulated industry. the faa does however set guidelines for tandem jumps. each jump requires two parachutes and each instructor needs a minimum of three years experience and 500 jumps. >> the odds of both parachutes malfunctioning are just so small that they're incalculable and something we just don't concern ourselves with. >> reporter: but experience and equipment are only part of the equation

working out more -- relax. new research shows more may not be better. several new studies suggest that moderate exercise may actually be more beneficial than intense workouts. in one study researchers tracked nearly 53,000 people for 15 years. they all underwent physical testing and answered lifestyle questionnaires. about one-quarter of the group were runners who also reported on their running habits. during that time, runners overall had a 19% more risk of dying from any cause compared to the non-runners. but when researchers look more closely at the data, they found those who ran less than 20 miles a week at an average speed of a ten-minute mile reduced their risk of dying more effectively than those who ran more miles at a faster pace. other studies have shown that extreme endurance sports can lead in some cases to damage to the heart muscle. experts say their best advice is to keep exercising -- but a little bit can go a long way to adding years to your life. i'm dr. holly phillips.

8:01 am
telling us how sandusky's lawyers are likely to vee spond. >> the judge allowed a psychologist to testify about something, charlie, about something called histrionic personality disorder which is described by the national institutes of health as something that draws attention to the person. what they're going to aing gu is that these letters and jerry sandusky's behavior, manipulating these kids into situations was really not that of a sexual predator, it was of a man who was attempting to draw attention to himself by his activities. it's a novel argument, but it is one the judge is going to allow this week. >> so it will require some kind of expert to come in to say the defendant fit that profile? >> yes. there will be a psychologist that the judge here is going to allow to testify in this case fairly early on, i would imagine, in the defense's case. >> suggesting that they will agree with those witnesses that what happened happened?
8:02 am
>> it's hard to say. i think what -- this is -- you know, this is one tact they're going to take. another tact that i think the defense is going to take is clearly to find ways to undercut mike mcquery's testimony. mcquery was the one and remains the only independent eye witness to any of the sexual assault -- alleged sexual assault by jerry sandusky. his father was on the witness stand last week, john mcquery. he did not come off well. he could not remember that he had testified at a very public hearing as part of the case against the two penn state officials and they're going to bring in another doctor, dr. dranoff who was there during the time that mike mcquery spoke to his father about what he witnessed in that february 2001 shower at penn state. >> what are we expecting from jerry sandusky? you told us his sources say he is going to take the stand? >> yes. i think what's going to happen early in the week beginning today, you'll start to see some testimony from people that will say, you know, jerry was just a great guy. i learned he's a father figure,
8:03 am
mentor. you'll have dr. dranoff. he'll move towards, the big question, will his wife, dotty sandusky testify? the belief is she will. she was out of the courtroom sequestered all last week. then jerry. >> this is all expected to go fairly quickly as the prosecution went fairly quickly last week. do we know if they're starting to change at all based on what happened last week? >> we do. it's interesting. last week the prosecution case only lasted four days. and it was a surprise to the defense. they spent the weekend, i'm told about six hours over the weekend, kind of re-arranging their witness list because dr. dranoff who i mentioned was going to be first. he has patients today so he will not testify today as i understand. so it was a bit of a scramble by the defense but clearly what you have here, you have dottie sandusky and you have jerry sandusky. it's going to boil down, if you're asking my opinion, it's going to boil down to jerry sandusky. he's going to go on the witness stand later in the week and testify for his life because

8:05 am
efforts to revive him were unsuccessful. >> it appears that this is a drowning and there are no obvious signs of foul play. >> reporter: born to an alcoholic father, king says he never lost his own need for drink. in fact, he was drunk that night in 1991 when police tried to pull him over and he led them on a high speed chase. the beating that ensued became a symbol of racial tensions. when the white officers were acquitted of using excessive force, los angeles exploded in one of the worst urban riots in decades killing more than 50 people and causing a billion dollars in damage. even king himself famously pleaded for calm. >> can we all get along? >> reporter: it became a rallying cry and for that king said he was the most proud. >> that's one of the main things that i want people to, you know, remember about rodney king. he tried to bring his country together, to be a part of the solution and not the problem. >> reporter: pat harvey covered rodney king through the years

and was one of the last to interview him back in april. >> i will say that he truly felt he had something to do with advancing civil rights in a different sort of way. >> reporter: although king won millions in a civil rights lawsuit, most of it went to attorneys. the rest, he says, he spent. and soon his run-ins with the law went anew. he was arrested close to a dozen times after the beating, everything from drunk driving to spousal abuse. he appeared on "celebrity rehab." >> the fact is your drinking is pit is.o kill you. it killed your dad. it's going to kill you. >> i mean, i'm -- i'm not drinking nothing like i was drinking before. >> he just always kept sort of getting in his own way it seems like. >> we talked about this. i asked him, you know, do you find it difficult to just be normal? he says, yeah, that's a good way to put it. >> reporter: in his memoir released just two months ago king wrote about his demons, how

there are estimates that t there are estimates that the presidential candidates will spend $2 billion in this election. or that the campaign will cost $2 billion. campaign fundraising has hit a level that we have never seen before. >> "new york times" columnist frank bruni says he has received an invitation in the mail to attend one of president obama's fundraisers. just $10,000 a person. he wrote about it on sunday in a column headlined "2012 financial free for all." he joins us in studio 57. >> thanks. >> what's the story coming out of this. >> it's amazing. the pace of fundraising. when you watch it, what worries me is we have candidates who have to spend as much time worrying about the money they're raising as the problems they're going to confront when they get
8:18 am
into the presidency should they get there. we have a situation where to push back on the super pac money you have president obama doing six fundraisers in as many hours last week. that's crazy. is that how we want our lead candidates spending their time? >> what's the answer to that? >> we've all been trying to come up with an answer. there used to be fundraising limits people were beholden to. some people complained that those weren't fair. i don't know what the exact solution is, but i know the situation we have right now i think is untenable and it's not democratic. as it is now, we have billionaires who can contribute tens of millions of dollars to super pacs that benefit one candidate and one candidate alone. that sounds like buying a candidate. >> what's interesting is where the president raised money, a lot of it was small money that added up in 2008. >> this time you have evenings like thursday evening in man hat tan, a $40,000 a head.

each of one gets a yield of $1 million. we're talking about things government can't afford and families can't afford. you have this kind of money being thrown around. >> does the race come down to which side gets the most money. >> each side is worried about that. i personally think that there's a point past which money can't do any good. it can buy you a lot of negative advertising. we've seen numerous campaigns, state and federal level, where it's driven up a candidate's negatives. at a point it becomes gratuitous. >> who uses it better though to their advantage? ultimately they're all using the money. >> the other thing that doesn't get set off enough is what so much of this money goes towards is negative advertising. we all notice and complain about the bitter, bitter partisanship in washington and throughout the country. that partisanship is created in part by all the negative ads. >> the interesting thing and point you've raised, it is the notion that the swing vote is the independent vote, those people who are in play, who will
8:20 am
decide the election. you don't know how they're influenced by this. does it simply appeal to the base or both sides? >> that is an excellent question. a lot of this advertising is about turning out the base because there is some evidence that swing voters react negatively to negative advertising. you may be shooting yourself in the foot. you're sort of deciding we're going to really fire up the base at the risk of maybe turning off some swing voters. >> what is your focus now? we know you from a variety of assign nlts at "the new york times" and you're now on the op ed page on sunday. what is your focus? >> i write two op ed pieces a week. half are about politics and half are about culture and life, whatever else. >> and where does culture and life intersect with politics in this particular campaign year? >> whew. we've seen a lot of the intersection of culture in this campaign. i don't know if you'd call it culture, about a lot of social issues with the way we treat women and gay individuals. these are issues that may move
8:21 am
the needle when it comes to swing voters. >> is there a narrative you see coming out of both campaigns. >> right now? >> yeah. >> the big narrative is a class narrative in this country. the democrats, president obama are saying that republicans want something akin to a plutocracy. they're saying they're wanton with debt and deficit. that seems to be the central theme. >> they're making it more specific. on the one hand you have the republicans saying the president has failed to far -- has failed to demonstrate that he can handle the economy and the democrats are saying that mitt romney has failed to show that he has new ideas rather than old ideas like the bush administration. >> that's right. they're looking back at mitt romney's record in massachusetts and raising some very good questions about that. you mentioned culture before. one of the things we're seeing and going to continue to see, it's hard for obama to run on the economy, we'll hear a lot of
8:22 am
discussion from democrats and obama about cultural and social issues. there was the big immigration decision on friday. it's very important for presiden obama in the absence of a great economy to appeal to some of the groups that like him. >> there's also been talk about appealing in general to voters and whether or not it matters and what you actually want out of your candidate. they're both being criticized for that. president obama more recently for ignoring the realities of the economy. >> his personality? >> how important is, yes, likability? >> i think likability is important when all other things are equal. you know what i mean? the notion that voters are ultimately going to vote primarily on the economy, i think that's true. but if you have a situation where the economy is maybe improving, where voters aren't sure mitt romney is the answer, likability i think could factor in at the margins. >> likability, i should say more understanding of. >> right. >> what gets me is this notion of how these two campaigns see america. how they see the demographics of america and how they see the issue and whether the economy

8:32 am
>> it hit the water in line of flight with a very high acceleration. >> reporter: the final report on the crash is due out next month but many experts believe the pilots were not adequately trained to handle the sudden loss of altitude because they relied too much on the plane's auto pilot system. three seconds before impact, the pilot said, oh, my god, we're going to crash. i can't believe it. mark rosenkur -- >> we must teach our pilots that clearly this equipment that's being provided to them are tremendous tools but they have to keep their flying skills up in case any of these tools fail them. >> reporter: rosenker says in 1996 none of the major plane crashes in the developed world had been attributed to equipment or mechanical failure. they have all been human error or lack of pilot training. colgan air flight 3407 crashed in buffalo in 2009 killing 50
8:33 am
people. the ntsb blamed the crash on the captain's failure to effectively manage the flight. comair flight 5191 crashed after takeoff in kentucky in 2006 when the pilot turned down an unlit runway too short for his aircraft. the u.s. crash in modern history was just two months after 9/11 when american airlines flight 587 went down in queens, new york killing all 260 on-board. the ntsb said it was the pilot's unnecessary and excessive use of the plane's rudder controls that caused the crash. the pilot actually used too much rudder too many times and as a result snapped off his vertical stabilizer, his tail, and thereby providing him no ability to control the aircraft. >> reporter: american airlines has since modified its pilot training program. many aviation experts say a big part of the problem is the outdated air traffic control system. it's based on world war ii era radar technology and many of the
8:34 am
400 air traffic control facilities across the country are more hand 50 years old. congress approved a $40 billion plan to modernize the system. it's called nextgen, replacing redar with gps and it should be completely 2025. some airports like lax here in los angeles are already using gps for some or all of their flights. this system lets planes fly closer together and that allows for more takeoffs and landings and reduces delays. the nextgen system is expected to save on fuel and travel time because flight paths will be more direct. yet safety experts say we need to make sure that more technology doesn't dull human skill in the cockpit. for cbs "this morning," ben tracy, los angeles. >> david soucie was an faa for some 17 years, author of "why planes crash -- an accident investigator's fight for safe skies." welcome. >> thank you, charlie. >> you think there's some risk of complacency because we've had so few accidents?
8:35 am
>> i believe that the safer we feel, the more vulnerable we are to accidents, actually, yeah. >> and what do you think of the things that were reported on in this piece? >> well, i think when we talk about nextgen, we talk about all the advancements that we've had in technology. and as we do that, as humans we want to have a handle on that so we go through a checklist. we rely more an more on check lirss and the more that we do that, the less we really think about our situation and where we are and i call it an atrophy in vigilance. we start to not think about things. we just go down the checklist. >> the clear theme of your book has to do with why planes crash and it's more pilot error than anything else. is there a common denominator? >> i think the common denominator to all accidents is this atrophy of vigilance. as you do routine things your mind starts -- your series on the brain was fascinating on the deciding brain. and in that we talked -- you
8:36 am
talked a lot about -- and your expert -- talked a lot about how is it that our brains become complacent? and what makes us make a decision. and my fear is that we automate the way that we make decisions. >> you talk about the need, too, for psychological training for pilots. how would that impact things? how do you believe it would make a difference? >> well, i think that again, we have so much technology and this thing is so advanced, we have to change the way that we think. i call it dare to repair our thinking about the way that we think, how we fit in to our environment and what it is that we're truly doing. be aware of where you are. is there a light about ready to fall on your head? those types of things. where are you and what is your mind doing, you're being lulled into a false sense of safety. >> you spent almost 20 years -- 17 years i believe at the faa. you see that as a problem, too, because it has this dual role that you say doesn't work. >> that's true. the faa mandate is a dual role. it is not only to enforce and regulate, it's also to promote.
8:37 am
so it's created a kind of conflict within the culture. they're dealing with it in a lot of ways but i think congress needs to step forward and make sure that they clearly define what it is that the faa does. is it a promotion? or is it enforcement strictly? it's like telling a traffic cop when you pull somebody over, make sure they get going faster. >> do they need psychological training for pilots? >> absolutely. absolutely. think about the things pilots face every day. and even in their training. they're forced -- not forced, but they're encouraged to do as much training as they can to suspect everyone of being a terrorist. think about that. how many thousands of people they're confronted with every day and you have to think they're all terrorists. that's got to play with your head a little bit. >> the thing that you constantly reiterate -- and seems to me is true about driving a car, a motorcycle, you've got to be in the moment and you have to be
8:38 am
very careful that you have touched every phase and be sure that you're looking at everything at every moment in order not to miss the obvious. >> that's very true, charlie. and not only that, but it goes into the decision versus the choice. again, in your brain series you talk about the deciding brain. logically we make those decisions but i choose to look at it as choices. when you say i'm making a choice, it is a personal involvement. it is a personal enrollment. when you pick up your cell phone while you're driving because someone's calling you and you decide to text, that's not a decision. that's a choice. and that may just be a choice to kill someone's kid or yourself. that is a choice. and we have to recognize that that's where we are. we're not safe in most things that we do today in a high-technology world. >> david soucie, thanks for being here this morning. crime novelist don winslow is also here this morning with a look at his addict irv new novel. i can attest to that. he had me up late last night

8:42 am
encourage you to write? >> yeah, my parents. my sister, oddly enough. there are two kids in our family, we both became professional novelists. my sister is a prominent romance novelist. there was something about words and soerz tories in our house a were encouraged to go out and conquer the world and tell stories. >> you love his books, don't you? >> i do. i have to admit, this is the first one i've read. i've been read iing it in preparation for this interview. armen keteyian says he's such a fan of your writing and he just couldn't believe he was in the green room with you. a lot of people feel that way about. >> up a lot of people don't want to be in a room with me. >> no, this was in a good way! >> because of the nature of your imagination? >> yeah. i think maybe they're a little afraid. they read the books and i'm such a cupcake really. >> that's exactly the word charlie used to describe you earlier. cupcake. yeah. everyone says you should write what you know. you talk about going out and
8:43 am
conquering the world. you were a safari guide. you managed a movie theater. but you're writing about in this case row houses and the drug trade. how do you move from that to this? >> nobody snaps your passport to be a writer. if you go to medical school, are you a doctor. if you go to law school, are you lawyer. for a writer, there is no such thing. you need to go out and get life experiences. a few years ago i wrote "the power of the dog," the his trip an evolution of the drug cartels and drug problem in mexico and america. that was really the training for "the kings of cool" and "savages." >> you refer to "the powers that be." >> yeah. >> what's that? >> the powers that be in the drug business are all over the place. first of all, it is the government. frankly, we set up this war on drugs. if you ask people what's america's longest war, they're going to say either vietnam or afghanistan, both incorrectly. our longest war is the war on drugs. it's been going on since 1973
8:44 am
with no end in sight. how do you declare victory? when does the sailor get to kiss the girl? you know, we don't know. so we've set up an institution that's set up another institution which are the drug cartels. because without the prohibition, you know, there's not the large profit. without the large profit, you don't have the sort of violence that, sadly, we see now in mexico. >> how would you define what it is that draws these people -- i mean what common characteristics do they have, these people that are drawn to the drug cartel, and become leaders of drug cartels? >> well, first of all, it's money. >> it's greed. >> sure. i don't think you have to look much further to our own prohibition era of alcohol to see the examples of the sort of people that are drawn to that. secondly, i mean some of them are just businessmen. that's the best business that they can get into. others are sociopaths and psychopathic killers. but in a world where violence rules, the most violent is going
8:45 am
to rise to the top. >> and the reason that there's been limited success with the drug cartels -- >> the mexican drug problem is a misnomer. it is an american drug problem. i'd be very frustrated if i were a mexican official trying to fight this war and i have this giant to the north that's schizophrenic about the feelings about drugs. the american government's trying to shut it down. but you have a tremendous american market that's buying it and fueling it. >> you also write in the book sort of on the heels of that that one of your characters says, the justice system is more about the system than the justice. which is part of what you're getting at here. >> yeah. listen, i think we see that every day and i think we see that with all kind of systems. but certainly the disparity of sentencing towards drugs, that is getting better, it is an example of that. however, i think if you get thrown in to that system, you're
8:46 am
in the machine and that machine is going to grind on. >> when you write, are you thinking about movies at all? >> no, sir. no. let me take that back a little bit. i used to be one of those writers that thought i'm not going to have anything do with a movie. you know what i mean? i'll write the book and if they make it into a movie, farewell. >> and now? >> i've changed that. having seen a few years ago one of my books made into a film rather unsuccessfully, it changed my mind about it. i didn't expect it to hurt as much as it did. i thought i'd be more detached. now i've changed the way that i deal with film. i want to be more involved. i want to have a meaningful seat at the table. >> so that it is still yours. >> you know, you never have 100% control. that's not doable given the nature of the film, the nature of novels. at the end of the day i'm a novelist. but i want a meaningful seat at that table. >> don winslow, pleasure to meet you. "the king of cool" goes on sale
