pelley ♪ good morning to our viewers in the west. thursday, june 28, 2012. welcome to studio 57. that's the cbs broadcast center. i'm charlie rose. the supreme court is just moments away from making history. by deciding whether president obama's health care law is constitutional. we'll show you what's at stake. i'm erica hill. a massive wildfire in colorado burns out of control, threatening tens of thousands of people. the fda okays the first new diet drug in 13 years. could it help you? i'm gayle king. no imports of oil could be closer than you think. why london is spending twice as much as it originally planned to put on the summer olympics. but first we begin with a

look at today's "eye opener." your world in 90 seconds. >> if the court does not strike down the entire law the house will move to repeal what's left of it. >> the white house braces for the supreme court's health care ruling. >> is president obama's reform on our nation's health care constitutional? >> it's a momentous decision that could impact the presidential election. >> my guess is they're not sleeping real well at the white house tonight. that's the way it ought to be. all right? yep. i've never seen anything like this. i can't stop shaking. >> my oh gosh. go up in flames.do neighborhood- >> 400,000 people now threatened. the fbi says it's investigated just how that fire started. >> to think that all of that beauty is gone is so heart wrenching. the house is expected to vote today on a contempt of congress resolution against attorney general eric holder. >> as early as august some

people, particularly inside the justice department, knew we were lied to and continued with that cover-up. 70-year-old jim wilson, his pickup truck caught fire so romney gave him a brand new set of tires. u.p.s. delivery truck in the middle of biscaine bay. warren buffett in duet with rock star jon bon jovi. >> get a sense of these girls screaming for you. it's nice to have an audience. up and makes the catch. >> i mean, he's way over the wall. >> all that matters -- researchers created a robot that always wins at rock papacy sors. >> this is real quality piece. >> on "cbs this morning." 65 percent of americans say president obama would handle an alien invasion better than mitt romney. >> of course they said obama. i'm pretty sure he's a vulcan.

welcome to "cbs this morning." joining youl in the west, we could learn at any moment what the supreme court decided in the legal challenge of president obama's health care law. >> the case highlights two different views of the role of government. the decision will affect the lives of hundreds of millions of americans. and could also help to decide the november election. >> we begin this morning at the supreme court with jan crawford. jan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie. as you know, just after 10:00 here on the east coast. the justices in the courtroom at this moment. they're summarizing decisions in other cases. we are waiting to hear what they'll rule on health care. enormous interest. the plaza here in front of supreme court packed with protesters on both sides of this issue. everyone waits to see whether or not in a very complicated, complex case the court is going to strike down the president's signature achievement. the key to the case is one issue. the individual mandate.

the requirement that all americans from birth to death muffin shurns. but no one knows at this point. we'll know what the court will rule on this issue. >> nothing coming out of the court so far? >> reporter: charlie, nothing. look at this court. it is shut tight. the court is the one institution, the one place in washington where things just don't leak. no one knows. not the president. not congress. everyone is waiting. but of course, people are getting ready. take a listen to what mitt romney had to say about this last night. >> my guess is they're not sleeping real well at the white house tonight. as that's the way it ought to be. all right? yeah, yeah. and this is a decision, by the way, about whether or not obama care is constitutional. whether it passes constitutional muster. and so we're all waiting to see how the court will decide. one thing we already know, however, it's bad policy and got to go. >> reporter: after the arguments

in the case in march, opponents of the law encouraged. they thought they perhaps had five justices, a majority, ready to strike down the individual mandate throwing the entire law in to doubt. but recently, some of the tea leaves that lawyers on both sides of this case have been following and reading suggest that perhaps the court will uphold the mandate and preserve the heart of the law, the president's signature achievement. everyone here is waiting. just like they're in the white house and just like in congress. we'll know from the supreme court within a matter of minutes. >> we want to bring in nora o'donnell now at the white house. what are you hearing from the president's add vviseadvisers? >> reporter: brave faces from the advisers confident that the supreme court will uphold the landmark health care legislation. the president and the vice president will be together in the oval office when they learn about what the supreme court ruled. as jan pointed out, nobody knows. the supreme court doesn't leak. so the president and the vice

president, believe it or not, will find out the same way we do, on tv, cbsnews.com or the radio. it is interesting because the president is a constitutional law professor and i learned how much he paid close attention to this, reading the arguments and welcome to them on tape and i'm told he told advisers privately he would be very surprised if the supreme court overturned this rule. we'll see. either way, we are expecting the president to address the nation after the supreme court rule. >> eat way, obviously, for both sides major political ramifications. >> reporter: huge political this is the president's signature piece of legislation of his first term. he says it provides millions of americans consumer protections, access to preventive care and insurance companies can no longer discriminate against those with preexisting conditions and as jan pointed out mitt romney said yesterday and all during this campaign

that he would repeal obama care on day one if this is upheld you also heard those in congress say they'll work to repeal bits and pieces of it until it's all gone. >> thank you. capitol hill this t ♪ i'm scott pelley in washington. good morning. at this moment the supreme court is beginning the process of handing down a ruling that will effect every american. the issue, whether president obama's health care reform law, known as the affordable care act, is constitutional. cbs news chief legal correspondent jan crawford is on the steps of the supreme court with the breaking news. jan, what do we know so far? >> scott, we do not know what the court has ruled in this case. we do not have a copy of the opinion. what we know is it is going

written and announced by chief justice john roberts. he is reading this opinion. he is a conservative, but does does not mean the law is being struck down. he could have formed an alliance with some of the liberals. many people believe they had an obligation to write this decision in this monument case and he is announcing the ruling in the court at this moment. we now have a copy of the decision, scott. and i'm going to look through this. as you can see, here's the decision at this moment. there are multiple, multiple opinions in this case. it appears the decision has been affirmed in part and reversed in part. and it also appears, scott, based on our quick summary, that the mandate, the individual mandate, the individual mandate at the heart of this case may be

in jeopardy under one provision of the constitution but they may have upheld the mandate under another provision. a very complicated ruling. but it appears they are analyzing different parts of the constitution and the mandate may be on firm ground. we will get back to you in one moment. >> jan, thank you very much. let's remind the folks at home about the individual mandate. that is the part of the law that has been most controversial, the individual mandate would require ever american to obtain health insurance or pay a penalty. that part of the law would go into effect in 2014. paying the penalty would be done on income tax returns in 2015 if the person decided not to buy health insurance. did congress exceed its authority when it essentially ordered every american to buy health insurance. wyatt andrews is also at the

supreme court. review some of the other issues before the accurate that we're going to be hearing about shortly. >> scott, jan reported this is a very complex decision. because it's coming in three parts. as you said, is the mandate constitutional or an intrusion on personal freedom? if the mandate is unconstitutional, this is also important at that point what happens to the rest of the law? finally, what happens to medicaid? can medicaid be expanded? expansion of medicaid was unconstitutional reach -- >> let me interrupt you just a moment, wyatt. jan crawford has had an opportunity to read more of the opinion. jan, what do you see? >> we are processing this complicated decision. it appears the chief justice has joined with four of the court's liberals who uphold the mandate on an entire different provision that did not get a lot of attention during the argument recalling, that congress had the ruling to pass this requirement to require people to pay a

penalty if they did not have health insurance under its taxing power. as you know, the case was looked at whether or not that means congress has the power to regulate commerce. therefore, could they order people to buy a product. the court appears at this moment, again, still getting through this decision to have looked at a different constitutional provision to uphold this mandate. the justices are the conservatives. there will be much discord in this case and within this court. we will continue reading this opinion scott. >> jan, thank you very much. headline of the hour. this is the most important thing that has happened so far. the supreme court has upheld the individual mandate essentially affirming that president obama's health care law is, indeed constitutional. and the congress did not exceed its short when it ordered every american to buy health insurance. joining us on the set in washington is ted brewinger,

constitutional law professor at the university of pennsylvania law school. ted, what does this say about the relationship of the congress and the individual and how the supreme court has looked at all of this? >> well, this is crucial pan for health policy. it says from early reports that the court upheld this. it suggests a majority of justices found congress does have the power by using the tax code. if indeed they based it on the taxing power, this is kind of like the way that we get tax breaks when we buy a home and take out a mortgage. there's lots of parts of the tax code used to create incentives to do something or not to do something. if indeed they use the tax power they say this is very much like that kind of power. >> what do you make of the fact that chief justice roberts has found the individual mandate is indeed constitutional? >> as chief justice of the supreme court, it suggests john roberts is uniquely sensitive to

the judicial role. he wrote in an opinion about the importance of some deference to the politically elected branches, congress and the president. they are not subject to reelection. when we read the full opinion i suspect that part of the season r reason he joined and wrote this opinion reflects the notion that the court needs to defer somewhat to congress and the president in making these policy choices. >> under the rules of the court, justice roberts can assign the majority opinion to a justice for writing only if he is in the majority himself. so he obviously needed to be in the majority and decided to assign the opinion to himself to write so he could craft it in his own language. >> sure. it's a key power of the chief justice, the authority to keep the opinion for himself and thus shape the law. did they lay down any restrictions for congressional

power in future cases. >> thank you very much, ted. one other part of the law that the supreme court was considering is whether congress overstepped its bounds when it ordered the 50 states to expand their medicaid coverage for the poor. we understand that we now have a ruling on that part of the law. for that we go to wyatt andrews at the supreme court. what do you see? >> scott, from what i can see in this ruling, the court struck down the third part of the decision, forcing the state to expand their medicaid program. but this is not very simple. the way i read this, the court is leaving open to the states to come back and opt in to the medicaid expansion as their discretion. in other words, as i read this ruling right now, the majority on the court is saying when congress forced all the states to expand their medicaid program, let's remember this is a shared expense. 26 states have come into court saying it's not fair and not

within the federal government's purview to make us expand medicaid when we're paying for part of it. chief roberts seems to be agreeing with with that. they're also saying if states want to opt in to the medicaid expansion, that's their choice. overall, though, the medicaid expansion is unconstitutional thanks to this ruling. >> we want to repeat the headline of the hour. the united states supreme court has decided that president obama's health care law is largely constitutional and it has upheld what is known as the individual mandate, that is the mandate that says that almost all americans must obtain health insurance or pay a penalty. this has been upheld by the court today. and certainly that is a big victory for president obama because this is his signature domestic policy achievement of

his presidency thus far. we have nor row o'donnell at the white house. >> this is in fact, a victory for the president. his landmark piece of first term legislation remains the law of the land. this is something the president fought hard for, to equip some 30 million more people, have them get health insurance and provide those who already have private health insurance additional coverage. we expect that the president will address the country later this afternoon or perhaps later this morning about this decision. we are told he is currently in the oval office with the vice president as he is getting news about this decision. he learns the same way that you and i do. he learns about it on the news and is with his team. this does not end the political back and forth that will continue throughout this campaign as the president seeks election because as you know the chief opponent mitt romney said on day one he will repeal this

law. >> nora, thank you very much. what's happening at the court, of course, is that a lot of opinions are pouring out of the copying machines. there's the majority opinion which we have been talking about. there will also be accidenting opinions. some of the justices will have disagreed with this ruling and they will have written their own opinions about why they disagree. jan crawford has been trying to speed read through hundreds of pages of opinions in the last few minutes and she has more from the steps of the supreme court. jan, what do you see? >> well, first of all, let me just make the headlines very clear in this case. the supreme court upheld the bulk of this massive, what was a 2,700-page health care law. as wyatt said, they had said the medicaid provisions are unconstitutional. that congress was forcing the states to expand their programs in violation of their ability under the constitution. that's not insignificant. this provision would have greatly expanded health care access for the poor.

and states will participate if they choose. it can be struck off on its own. it is an extraordinarily unusual set of circumstances. george w. bush put john roberts as chief justice of this united states supreme court, that he would join with the liberals to uphold president obama's key achievement, a law that many people argue reflects unprecedented assertion of congressional authority. scott, there are four conservative justice on the supreme court. today justice kennedy is a conservative. there are four supreme court justices, roberts, scalia, thomas and alito united to say this law should be unstaeurbl against the chief justice and against the liberals of the supreme court. very dramatic and no one would have expected. >> let's take a breath for just

a moment and review five of the key provisions of the president's health care reform law and tell you what has happened with those. first, most important, the individual mandate that requires almost all americans to obtain health insurance or pay a penalty has been upheld by the court as constitutional. some of the other provisions that people are interested in include insurance companies covering pre-existing conditions. that stands. that is the part of the law that says insurance companies cannot discriminate against people just because they are already sick. another provision is the no lifetime limits on coverage. that stands as well. and a popular part of the law that has already gone into effect, children can stay on their parents's insurance policies until the age of 26. that is already the law of the land. the court today decided that will stand as well.

however, a major provision that would have extended health care coverage to the poorest americans, the expansion of medicaid to cover more of the poor has been struck down as unconstitutional. the court ruled that the congress overstepped its authority when it told the states they must expand their medicaid coverage. wyatt andrews is also at the supreme court this morning. wyatt, i wonder if you would remind us of the stakes of all of this. 50 million americans do not have health insurance. >> scott, the total -- i think the last cvo is 53 million americans don't have health insurance. that doesn't tell the whole story. without the affordable care act going into effect, the number is projected to go to 60 million over the next decade. that doesn't count the tens of

millions of americans in the last recession are afraid of losing their jobs or lost their jobs or health insurance outright. for decades a majority of the american people, even if they hated the mandate and were afraid of the cost of this law, for about 24 years, going back to the bush/dukakis election, americans wanted something to be done about the plight of the uninsured. they're not as productive because they don't work as well and far more prone to be vulnerable to bankruptcy. so the stakes in this law really outside the politics is a win for bow 'bama? is this a win for the republicans? outside all those politics, we have 53 million americans waiting to see how this ruling unfolds. >> wyatt, thank you very much. word of the ruling is echoing under the dome of the building behind me in the united states congress. and right there is our nancy.

>> scott, we have already heard from house minority whip steny hoyer, number 2 democrat in the house. he told us if in fact, they upheld the law, i'm very pleased with that. that's what we thought they would do and it's good news for the american people and good news for democrats who extended so much time and so much political capital in the first two years of the president's term working on getting this law passed to the exclusion of other issues like the economy. now, house republicans of course are going to be devastated by this news. they are all going into a closed door meeting, all 250 or so into a closed door meeting to out how to respond to this ruling. so many of them said to us in the past few weeks, even if this bill is upheld, we are still going to work to reveal it as they have done so much times the past two years. >> nancy, thank you. it bears remembering that the law was passed in 2010.

not one single republican voted for the law in the senate or in the house. it was passed narrowly with only democrats voting for the law. jan crawford is on the steps of the supreme court this morning. jan, what have you seen now that you have had a chance to do g to go through the opinions. >> congress could not have justified it under regulating commerce. they believe the court gave a green light to this law and they would cause people to run willy-nilly. if there was an energy crisis, we would all have to buy hybrid cars. that's more narrow view. it will be harder to congress to pass similar laws in the future ordering americans to buy products. but that's an issue of the law, issue for the law books. this law remains upheld under

these constitutional provisions. that of course, will not give conservatives much hope at all. >> fascinating day in american history, jan. thank you very much. ted raouger, our constitutional law expert from the university of pennsylvania law school joins us right now. ted, what are you seeing in this? a huge key role for the chief justice. >> sure. there are a number of rounds of real surprise. chief justice roberts not just wrote the opinion but provided the key fifth vote. and justice kennedy, who we all thought would be the swing vote, wrote it here. although this seemed clearly a win for the statute and the administration, it may end up being a loss for federal power. it looks like they may have put limits on the regulatory power under the commerce clause. and strike down medicaid expansion is a big deal. many government products are joint enterprises, not just medicaid but transportation, education, and to the -- and the court has not historically set

limits on the federal government's ability to cooperate there. so once we see the opinion, this may end up being a net loss going forward even though it's a clear victory for this statute. >> thank you for that insight. nora has breaking news at the white house. nora, what do you hear? >> we are hearing president obama will address the nation in the next couple of hours on this ruling from the supreme court that upholds for the most part the constitution alley of his health care reform bill. we will likely hear the president talk about how he's pleased by this and reiterate a number of provisions in this bill that will provide more insurance than those who don't have insurance. scott? >> nora, thank you very much. john dickerson is in our cbs bureau here in washington. john, this is going to land right in the middle of the presidential election cycle. we have four months before election day. how do you see this? >> the obama campaign aids can

come out from under the desk. they could have upset the president's already fragile reelection chances. he wasted the precious start of his presidency on a wrong headed scheme while ignoring the economy. now he's up for that. he will have his party behind him. he can say only if he's elected will the affordable care act go away. the political challenge for both men is how much to make of this issue in the future. the president has something to boast about. the law is still unpopular. swing voters not already anally about this law may think the supreme court is giving the seal of approval here. they may not want to hear a lot more talk about health care. >> john, thank you very much. jan crawford at the supreme court. jan, you had a chance to go through more of the opinions. what are you seeing now? >> going through more of the

opinions, the court continues to go through this incredibly complex decision. the chief justice is continuing to summarize the multiple parts of this ruling from the bench. he is now talking about the medicaid provision. and he said based on reports in the courtroom that medicaid and that provision is like a gun to the head of the states. ruling congress could not force states to so dramatically expand the programs. scott, that provision didn't really divide the justices. it was 7-2, striking down the medicaid provision. of course it was the mandate that everyone was focused on. that is the headline at this point right now. >> jan, thank you very much. so let's take a moment ago to review some of the major provisions of the health care law, the provisions that so many people are focused on. the headline of the hour is that the individual mandate has been upheld. that is the part of president obama's law, really the linchpin of the entire law.

if anyone decides not to buy health insurance they will pay penalty on their income tax form in 2015. other provisions of the law that were ruled on today include insurance companies covering pre-existing conditions. that stands. no lifetime limits on coverage. that part of the law stands as well. this next part of the law is already in effect and that is that children can stay on their parents's insurance policies until the age of 26. that's in effect. it's been very popular. that part of the law stands. but the biggest part of president obama's health care law that has been struck down today is the expansion of medicaid to cover more of the poor. congress had told the states that the 50 individual states

must expand their medicaid programs to cover more of the poor. however, that has been struck down today. so the headline of the hour, a sharply divided supreme court upheld the heart of president obama's health care law, ruling that requiring virtually every american to obtain health care insurance is constitutional. the vote was 5-4, with chief justice john roberts joining the courts for liberals and writing the majority opinion. we'll be following this story and the reaction to it throughout the day. president obama will be making a statement within the next couple hours and we will bring that to you live. we also also bring you live coverage of governor mitt romney's comments also expected a bit later today. you can find the very latest on the supreme court decision on our website cbsnews.com. and of course we'll have a full wrap-up right here on the "cbs evening news" tonight. for now, i'm scott pelley, cbs news, in washington.

the tennis players over the last two or three decades developed this with an ugh! every time they -- ugh! oh! and it don't bother me. people complain about it. it's happening every sport. it's epidemic. you know what i'm looking at this? watch. everybody does it now. >> ugh! o the budget. in fact, these games are on track to be the most overbudget olympics since atlanta in 1996. >> a new study finds the event is likely to cost more than twice the original estimate ending up billions of dollars

over budget. as mark phillips reports, it's all part of the game. >> reporter: it seems there's a trick to putting together a winning olympic bids. >> the game of the 30th olympics is awarded to london. >> reporter: the london bid that beat out new york and paris did so, at least in part, because it promised value for money. and after the extravagance of the beijing games, london promised in 2005 to deliver a more measured approach, a games that would cost under $4 billion. a bargain. too good a bargain t turned out. within two years, the london organizers had already admitted the games would cost about four times as much. about $15 billion once taxes and security costs were included.

and lately claimed they are under budget. >> it's on time, on budget. all of the building is being done. >> reporter: not so fast. >> most important -- most important of all -- >> i'm thinking that they are spinning the information about the olympics and that is understandable. that's what politicians do and they want to look good. >> reporter: professor luke is one of the authors of a study on olympic spending has concluded the london games are currently with adjustments for inflation, et cetera, 101% over their original budget, in other words, they have cost twice as much as promised. >> it doesn't look good to have the 101% cost overrun. >> reporter: and london is not unique. just about all olympic games run way over budget. to pick just a few, atlanta in 1996 was 147 prgs over its original costing. sydney in 2000 was 90% over.

montreal in 1976 was spectacular 796% over budget. in the past 50 years, the olympics have run an average of 170% over their original costing estimates. four times the cost. twice the cost. hidden costs. arguing over the cost of the games has become an olympic sport on its own, one the poor put upon taxpayer of the host city never seems to win. >> there's something about the olympics and we think it's the effect that you basically, writing a blank check. >> i declare open the olympic games of los angeles. >> reporter: one exception to the rule was los angeles in 1984, which largely used existing facilities and financed the games out of corporate sponsorships and sky high tv rights. but the more common example is athens in 2004, whose facilities are now decaying and whose cost

overrun of 60% was a major contributor to greece's current financial woes. the people behind the losing new york bid are feeling pretty smug. >> the olympics are a great sporting event but they don't work in cities that already are on the world's map. >> reporter: and they don't work for the advertised price. for "cbs this morning," i'm mark phillips in london. >> it's always a question, isn't it? >> it is. just how much, you mean is the question? >> yes, exactly. >> the number in montreal, 796% overbudget. >> they spent a long time getting over that. >> have they arrived there yet? the latest anti-terrorism tool for new york city. a high tech helicopter that police say is designed to keep us safe from a nuclear bomb. john miller got an inside look at this $10 million machine. the most advanced weapon in new york's anti-terror arsenal and it's only on "cbs this morning."

♪ new york city has ab tacked by terrorists in the air and on land in the past 20 years, and still considered the number one terror target in america. >> one of the biggest potential threats is an attack by sea. senior correspondent john miller, former deputy director of national intelligence, got a close-up look at the newest tool designed to protect new york. >> reporter: as the bell 412 helicopter approached an air field in a remote corner of brooklyn, everyone came out of the police department's hangar to see it land. the brand-new 10 million dollar chopper was being delivered from the factory in tennessee. it is loaded with $4 million worth of high tech equipment and part of its job is to keep a nuclear bomb out of new york city. >> we will take it low and slow

over all of the containers. >> reporter: the new multimillion dollar nypd chopper is equipped with a new radiation detection system is to sensitive it can fly over a cargo tanker ship and detect a radiation signature from an altitude of 200 feet. what are the capabilities from the sky that you focused on that would actually allow you to detect something further out? >> well, the nice thing about the aerial capability is, one, you're more mobile, you can hit more different areas and hit it faster. we have done some research and we have looked at kind of best of class and i think we have come up with a very robust system that has a very large sensor rate. >> give us a good picture if there is any kind of radiation. >> reporter: it is the very latest tool in new york city's counterterrorism arsenal and another sign of how critical helicopters have become in the counterterrorism operations for the nation's largest police department.

>> looking at the critical infrastructure of new york city, anything out of place and anything suspicious and anything we didn't see the day before that now has changed? and will require an investigation. >> reporter: normal police helicopter patrol might focus on areas looking for glars on a rooftop but the counterterrorism patrol executed several times a day by the nypd takes them off the beaten path. >> there is something in particular you're looking for that would set something off? >> small boat that shouldn't be there, maybe with unusual activity, numerous people messing around with something they shouldn't. we got a few pipelines we also check. >> reporter: every day they also control the buckeye pipeline. each day, 10 million gallon of fuel travel through the pipeline. in 2007, three men were charged and later convicted in a

terrorist plot to blow up the pipeline. the mission has changed rapidly. and we now are 360 degrees and aviation is being used more as a force multiplier. not just for patrol but counterterrorism and the detective bureau. >> reporter: yet, with all of the thoughts of armageddon, nuclear attack, crashing the city's power grid, and blowing up fuel lines, we hadn't gotten far from the base when a water rescue call came in. the pilots pushed the throttle. the divers that ride on board suited up. >> i got a little overwhelmed at something like that. >> it was a wind surfer, blown too far from shore and couldn't get back. within seconds, coast guard and nypd harbor units were there to fish the man out. so aviation 14 went back to its counterterrorism mission, looking for bigger fish. >> john miller is with us now. how does the new york police

department see the threat? face? >> well, when you're talking about a tool like this, you wonder how realistic are those threats? if you look at the material that was found in abbottabad and only personal notes he wanted to see go forward plots. small planes was one filled with explosives and crash into buildings and the other was small boats filled with explosives. crashing oil tanker to drive up gas prices. the third was tampering with railroad tracks to cause train derailments. when you look at this type of patrol, where are you going to be over the boats monitoring the traffic and where you look at the other small planes and where you get that view of the railroad tracks and this is kind of what this was designed for. aside from its high tech capability to detect nuclear and radiation. >> it's not cheap, $14 million. >> not cheap. >> in a time like this, where does all of that money come from? >> luckily for new york city, because this is mainly focused

on detecting radiation and, you know, a nuclear threat from the port and port security, most of the money for this helicopter came from the federal government for port security funding. >> actually good

this category of medications because other medicines related to this were taken off the market several years ago, ten years ago. it passed with flying colors. >> you said it makes feel people full but what about people who know they are not full but they are eating because they are bored or eating because the food is there? does it help them too? >> it might. it might take away some of the urgency to eat. we see people all day long and for 25 years, i've seen people who are obese. you look at why they overeat, it looks like your brain gets injured by years of fattening food. and what this does is makes it easier for you to imply with a program of diet and exercise. that's really the bottom line is that people want to lose weight, but it's hard for them to do it. why doesn't everybody just lose weight? >> so does this actually change the way your brain works? >> it doesn't change the way it works, but there are certain signals coming from your stomach, your intestine, your fat cells and it's basically calling for more food.

what this does we think it substitutes for some of the signals that makes you eat less food. >> how long does this last and how long can someone take it safely? >> it's been studied two years and that's a long time. if you look at medicines for high diabetes are not studied that long and we think it's a good nod for safety for this type of medication. >> are there any down sides? tony, the stage manager there, the gentlemen to the right, said he heard on the radio it's bad for your heart. is there any down sides associated with this drug? >> the most careful part of the study was looking at heart valves and the answer is there is no evidence and no difference between this and placebo. side effects, nausea and headaches were the most common side effects. this is not a treatment for obesity. it's not to lose the last ten pounds. people have to understand what

we expect will come from this. >> there is no cure for obesity, is there? >> no, not at this time. the evidence is that the brain is injured by fattening food and that is why it's hard for people to lose weight. you know, why don't people just go on a diet and lose weight, right? it looks so simple. >> it's hard. >> but what happens is that after years of eating fattening food and not exercising, the pathways that control weight don't function as well, and we need something, whether it's surgery or it may be medication, to help amplify these signals, that will help people to lose weight. >> you sound like a guy who knows what he is talking about so we have this question, all of us. if you were a bit overweight and dieting, what would you eat? >> what would i eat? the evidence right now, this just kame out this week, a low glyemic diet. a diet with less sugar and starch increases metabolic rate. >> translate to food types. >> food types.

we recommend low fat protein for breakfast. yogurt and egg whites. at any given meal, vegetables and healthy proteins. >> if you can give us a yes or no. it sounds like a yes. would you prescribe this to your patients? >> absolutely. i'm looking forward to this. we need more medications. again, this is not the cure. another medication could be approved next month. we are looking forward to that one as well. the more choices we have, the more people we can treat. >> i think it's very exciting news. last ten pounds are always the hardest. always the hardest. >> go ahead. >> we are more concerned about

we do everything. give balloons and candy away in the store. we are planning some really cool new openings in time warner and we're coming to atlanta, we are coming all over. and the vision of our store, is, yes, we are a luxury store and our prices are amazing but more importantly i think the fact that whimsy in our store and i think tory is serious, serious fashion. we do have the same kind of aesthetic from the brightness of the store but we are very different. >> you think that is where the similarity is? to clarify for people, you are cofound tory burch when you were married and you are no longer together. correct me if i'm wrong you are one of the largest shareholders? >> tory and i are majority shareholders in the company and we built the company together and founded it together. tori used my experience in the back and my experience in production and sourcing and she created a lot of styles, a lot of the fashion.

she's an amazing person and as far as an inspiration of the company. gayle is very helpful and oprah has been very helpful. >> i'm a big tory burch fan. >> the marketplace, i'm launching nine new brands. they are all amazing brands. i feel very fortunate that i have an extraordinary group of women and men that help me to build these brands. the marketplace is open. retail has gotten very tired lately. the nice thing about tory it's broken through and sea wonder has added another element. you walk into our stores over the weekend. people are dancing. we give away free things to people. we are so -- >> you give away free earrings? >> we do. >> what kind? >> anybody that just walks in? how does it work? >> on the weekend we give away free earrings. >> what do you mean that retail is tired? >> well, i think the retail industry had a period of time when it was extraordinary.

you know? you have the geniuses in the industry like mickey drexler is amazing and you have a lot of new amazing new people but we haven't seen a lot of new retail in a long time. jcpenney and ron johnson are doing this extraordinary and i hail him for being able to. >> in the way they are changing their marketing structure? >> the way they are turning that around. i look at things like -- but most of the retailers, not enough risk. and i'd like some help out there to create new brands. we know the consumer, when tory started, it was a new concept. >> i'm fascinated by exes working together. how did it work? is it a good working relationship with the two of you? >> yes. this is really interesting. look. there is conflict in any relationship. >> yes. >> you know? there is conflict in anything. and, look.

i think tory and both of us care, number one priority is how does our stores look, what is the perception and what the customer is getting? my expertise is very wide in the fact that i understand sourcing and deep level. i spent a lot of time in the factories and i understand a lot about how to brand. i understand the financials and i understand everything. tory is probably the best in design and imaging. these board meetings are like any good board meeting or any business should be. challenging each other and how to make the business better. >> i think it's important to let people know you are not late to the fashion party because you've been doing this a long time. you believe everything can be much better it's good to make things simple and beautiful. >> i really believe that. i'm looking at this desk right here. you know? this is a beautiful piece of acrylic. it's new to the world of -- >> morning tv. >> of morning tv. your set is amazing. it's a beautiful place.

do you think it has helped you in your career? >> i don't think there is anything better than growing up with a.d.d. and adhd. last in my prep school class and last in my high school class. look. i think kids that suffer when they are younger and struggle, they arehey have a better appre for the world and life and i think it gives -- it gave me the ability never to be inside my own mind. struggling in school allowed me to see the outside world. and i have a lot of empathy for children who struggle in school and right now, it gives me a great advantage. i had to get through a tough period. i think it's difficult for all of us when we struggle and when we are a child. so, you know, i think it's an asset and i wish -- for me, one thing i wish parents didn't worry so much about their children with it. it could be great. >> christopher burch, thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me. i really appreciate it. >> we will be right back. you're watching "cbs this morning" on cbs.

american author joyy chen offered dating advice for chinese women. >> how impressive we are at work is not maybe the best way to impress a man. >> reporter: chen, a former deputy mayor of los angeles, and a successful businesswoman, is the author of the chinese language book "do not marry before age 30." in which she urges women to pursue their careers while postponing marriage. but that can be a risky strategy in china, where single women over 30 and even in their mid to late 20s can find themselves branded, leftover women. explain to me what it is like for a chinese woman to be a leftover woman? >> when they go to work, people call them leftovers to their face. >> reporter: chen says these women are trapped between the present and thousands of years of chinese history. 31 and not married, uyou're over the hill? >> is like a complete travesty.

you know? these women are just women who have been playing by the rules, achieving, as they have been taught to achieve, since they were little, you know? getting great grades and going off to grade school and getting great jobs. >> reporter: then in their mid-20s, chen says, the rules changed. >> then, suddenly it's like, bam-o-wham! no, don't achieve! you don't want to scare the boys, you know? slow down and jump back into your traditional role as a wife and a mother. >> reporter: the problem is that's not easy. katherine jo spent her twens and early 30s working on her career. now 35, she says she can't get a date, much less a husband. chinese men, she says, want younger, more subservient wives. >> maybe younger, more naive and -- >> reporter: she says many men find her intimidating. >> i'm quite independent.

maybe this is also one of the reasons the person is afraid to be with me. >> reporter: katherine says she learned those qualities from her parents, until she finds a husband, she's living with them. which means she feels constant pressure from her mother who says, at this point, she would be happy if katherine married a fraud. do they tell you you're too picky? >> sure. they think i'm too picky. >> reporter: they do? >> yeah. >> reporter: katherine says she is only interested in finding true love. >> i believe there is still somebody waiting for me and we are just looking for each other, we just a meet away. >> reporter: but as a leftover woman, she worries it might be too late at the ripe old age of 35. not surprisingly, the women we talked to said they find the term leftover women insulting and hurtful and offensive and said it's made worse by the fact the chinese government has adopted the term as an official part of the chinese language. charlie and gayle? >> boy, you sure can understand

why they would feel insulted by that. the chinese government is going to do what about this? >> reporter: the chinese government doesn't do much about it, but there are schools all around the country and certainly most schools are supported by the government, but it's really, i think, an effort that's being led locally to try to teach women what they need to do. a course in shanghai called "leftover women rescued." >> wow. that phrase is so hard to hear, chip. when you were talking to katherine, it's -- yeah, it's hard. you talked about being too picky. what does that mean, being too picky? >> reporter: well, i talked to joy chen, the aurnl you saw in the piece, about that. she said one problem here and one way woman may be at fault this may be a communist country but people are very focused on income and money and many chinese women, especially in the urban areas and especially professional women, who won't even consider marrying a man who
