good morning to our viewers in the west. it is tuesday, july 3, 2012. welcome to studio 57 at the cbs broadcast center. i'm erica hill. charlie rose is off today. nearly 2 million people remain without power days after storms stretched from ohio to the east coast. and many are being told that they won't have their power back until at least the weekend. i'm jeff glor. new missile tests in iran are putting american officials on edge. plus, tax or penalty. the romney campaign at odds with some republicans over what to call the health care law. and i'm gayle king. anderson cooper comes out of the closet in an email. is it harder for a journalist to do that an a hollywood star? plus, bill geist is in studio 57 today to tell us why he waited so long to reveal his battle with parkinson's.

but first, as we do every morning, we begin with a look at today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> no air conditioning. no electricity. and we can't get out. >> nearly two million americans face a fourth day without power in the midst of an historic heat wave. >> utility crews from as far away as quebec are pitching in to restore electricity. >> sizeable tree that has fallen has not been removed. typical of what we have been seeing. >> states of emergency have been declared. >> another scorcher today from the plains to the east coast. this action constitutes the largest health care settlement in the u.s. history. >> glaxosmithkline will have to pay almost $3 billion. >> marketing drugs for unapproved usage. >> and not telling the fda about two studies related to avandia. >> we are determined to bring them to a stop. iran is flexing its muscles

with bar games. anderson cooper has revealed that he had gay. cooper says he, quote, couldn't be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud. >> the 15th anniversary celebration of this unique research vessel flipped, literally designed to flip right in the ocean. >> all that -- >> watch this ball. and, boom! >> here is the great catch. holding the baby with a great catch in itself. that poor girl ends up flowerless. >> when you repeal this, what are you going to replace it with? >> i just start pointing it out. >> with all due respect to speaker boehner, did you see the clip? did you see the clip? he can't do that. >> on "cbs this morning." >> the thing is headed our way, right before this thing makes landfall it is going to be deflected by godzilla. now, have i no idea what will happen on that day.

welcome to "cbs this morning." from the midwest to the mid-atlantic, hundreds of thousands of homes are still in the dark and suffering through the heat four days after violent storms caused heavy damage. >> nearly 2 million people are facing a few more days without electricity, and many are asking their power companies why is it tiking so long. chip reid is in washington, d.c. chip, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, and good morning to our viewers west. this is a good example of why the power is not on yet. fortunately no one on the street was hurt, but you can imagine with all of the wires down, no one around here has power. and multiply that by the thousands upon thousands of trees that were brought down by this storm. power companies say they have been playing catch-up as they struggle to get the washington area back online following friday's big storm that hit so quickly it caught just about everyone by surprise.

ken barker is with virginia's dominion power, the largest electricity provider in the state. >> in parallel, we're restoring power and getting more resources in while we are restoring power. versus a hurricane, where we would prestage those restore systems. >> reporter: the storm system originated in the midwest and affected over 4 million households and businesses in seven states and the district of columbia. president obama declared federal emergencies in ohio and west virginia. the vast area affected by what officials are calling a catastrophic event has made it impossible to get the kind of assistance the washington area usually counts on. >> the resources that we usually get from ohio or other places, they needed their contractors to restore service for their own customers. >> the work we are doing here today will keep the power on. >> pepco, one of the largest providers in the district, launched an ad campaign in january defending their often maligned service, but they have come under new fire since the storm. >> pepc o's pace of restoring

power is unacceptable and the speed of the response is disappointing. >> reporter: in west virginia, dominion has restored power to over 70% of power, while over 60% of pepcocustomers are back online. with the state of emergency, many communities are considering canceling their fireworks displays for the fourth of july. >> chip, you mentioned they expect to be near full recovery by the end of the week. when can we see full recovery? >> reporter: well, i tell you, it could be a while for some people. the people on this street were told it's going to be another four or five days. so sometime this weekend. and they say the most difficult part is that last 5% or so of people because they tend to be in remote areas, out of the way. one family affected by one tree. and those people, it could be quite a while before their power is back on. >> chip reid, thank you.

iran is reporting new missile tests this morning in a show of force meant to give u.s. forces in the persian gulf something else to think about. >> the official iranian news agency says several missiles were test fired this morning and hit their targets. elizabeth palmer is in london with more on iran's war gaming. so why now? >> well, iran hasn't come right out and said it, but it does appear to be a show of force in response to a new round of oil sanctions targeting israel, trag to prevent it from selling its oil abroad. these war games seem to be a response to this. and this is all about trying to put enough pressure on iran to shut down its nuclear program. >> sabre rattling from iran, but on both sides, right? >> you bet. not only the war games on iran's side but yesterday the iranian parliament floated this idea that they might shut down the straits of hormuz. now, that is a very small but crucial choke point in the

persian gulf through which about 1/5 of the world's oil supply travels by tanker. if they did that, the world oil price would shoot up again. the united states has been doing a little sabre rattling of its own. it's been building up its forces in the persian gulf, partly to deter iran from shutting down the strait and partly to deter israel from launching any kind of a military strike on iran's nuclear installations. >> is there much concern about any potential danger with this situation? >> look, any sort of a military buildup like this is dangerous, just because a mistake can so quickly spiral out of control, escalate into open conflict. but we should say there is dialogue going on behind the scenes. iran and the u.s. and its allies are talking about the nuclear program. so i suppose there'sa glimmer of light that there may be a deal to defuse this. president obama's health care law has always been a tough

issue for his republican challenger mitt romney because he supported a similar plan as governor of massachusetts. >> this morning, romney's campaign finds itself in a skirmish over the issue with some in their own party. jen crawford is in washington with that story. good morning. >> good morning. listen, republicans saw this thursday supreme court decision, this huge decision, as a big win for them. it kept alive this controversial issue. it gave them a way of accusing the president of raising taxing. but now we are seeing some complaints that the romney campaign could be snatching defeat from the jaw of victory. >> i disagree with the supreme court's decision. >> romney's attempt to distance him from president obama's health care law is now tougher. senior campaign adviser eric fehrnstrom veered off message, saying that the law is a penalty, not a tax, agreeing with president obama. the governor believes that what

we put in place in massachusetts was a penalty, and disagrees with the court's ruling that it was a tax. >> since the court's ruling, virtually every republican leader has used the decision as proof that the president's signature legislation is a massive tax hike on americans. >> it's now a tax since the court said it was a tax. >> believe me, if this was brought to the public as a tax, there's no way this law would have passed in the first place. >> how are you? >> it's a tricky spot for romney. from day one, he has campaigned on a vow to scrap the president's health care law. but as governor of massachusetts, he passed the first individual mandate at the state level. some political pundits took issue with the campaign's approach, and said romney should return his focus to the economy. >> this is a classic case where consistency and intellectual honesty is a mistake. simply accept that the supreme court has said it's a tax. >> now the focus of romney's entire campaign has been the economy, and of course that's the issue that voters tell us

over and over they care about the most. but republicans also believe that romney could at least get a little traction on this health care law with this ruling because of course most americans continue to oppose at least signficant parts of this law. jeff and erica? >> jan, thank you. also in washington this morning, cbs news political news director john dickerson. good morning. give us a sense the sort of two almost conflicting messages on health care from republicans and mitt romney. what does that do for his message of the candidate? >> well, on health care, it basically means that governor romney is deprived of an opportunity of beating up the president. in this ruling, what republicans thought they had was a new opportunity to go with the president on health care. a lot of the arguments are well worn. people have their views. people are saying, wait, there's something new in the supreme court that this is a tax. the problem for governor romney is he has an identical mechanism in his massachusetts law and governor romney repeatedly over

the years talked about the tax in that law. he called it a tax in the past. his adviser now is calling it a penalty. why the change in tone or why the change in the word? well, they don't want to admit that governor romney was raising taxes in the past or called it a tax in the past. so this is a semantics game. but the governor doesn't want to get on the wrong side of the tax question. >> i wonder if you have a sense of how long this stays hot for. republicans want to talk about the health care ruling. the presumptive republican nominee does not want to talk about the health care ruling. and the president also does not want to talk about the health care ruling. how long is this in the public forum for like this? >> i don't think that long. mitt romney wants to connect health care to jobs. if he's talking about jobs, he is in the most comfortable turf for him in this election. this friday, there will be a release of the unemployment numbers. that will move the conversation right back to the economy again. his more comfortable spot. that's where he wants to stay. it's where he has the best chance.

so that's going to happen pretty fast. >> what about, though, the polling from the kaiser family foundation out that shows that essentially, i think it's nearly 1/3 of republican voters now say they are more likely to vote in november, that health care is starting to galvanize people? >> well, that's good for governor romney that it's likely to bring up his base, give him support within his party. but to get real advantage from that issue, he would need to convince people who aren't already kwoiconvinced. and he has some complexity there with his massachusetts record and conflict with his own party on this question of tax and penalty. so it's a hard road to get new voters on that specific issue of health care. on the economy, on the other hand, he can say, look, i was in the business world. people think the president hasn't done a good job on the economy. the numbers are bad. and people think the country is going in the wrong direction. so governor romney has a lot easier path on the issue of jobs and the economy. >> you talked about the governor wanting to talk about the economy here.

i wonder, though, any sense he may talk more about immigration policy, his response to the president's announcement a couple of weeks ago was fairly muted. >> he got some grief from his own party that he didn't come out hard enough and say that the president had overstepped his authority when he -- when the president signed the executive order or made the declaration on the children of undocumented workers. again, the challenge for governor romney is how much benefit can he get on the issue of immigration. hispanics in polls show they support the president by great numbers. governor romney wants to make the pitch to hispanic voters he makes to all voters, which is this is about the economy. again, getting back to his sweet spot. and that's been their kind of strategy so far. and it looks like they are going to stick with it. >> john, thank you. the latest banking scandal in britain has forced a top ceo to quit this morning. bob diamond is the second top official to be forced out at

barclays. one of britain's largest banks. the bank's chairman stepped down on monday. last week, barclays was fined $453 million for trying to manipulate have rates. drug maker glaxosmithkline is setting records this morning for the wrong reasons. on monday, the company settled a federal fraud case by agreeing to pay $3 billion in fines. >> the company will also plead the way it sold medications used by millions of americans. bob orr is in washington. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. and good morning to our viewers in the west. the $3 billion penalty is the largest ever paid by a drug company in a u.s. settlement. but federal prosecutors accused glaxosmithkline of withholding key safety data from federal regulators and committing widespread fraud. this is not the start of a world class karaoke routine. but rather, top executives at the drug maker glaxosmithkline exhorting their sales reps to

aggressively push a new asthma drug. >> i think we can make some millionaires out there. let's do it right. >> reporter: federal prosecutors used the tape as evidence, alleging that the culture at gsk was focused on the bottom line, and put profits ahead of customer safety. >> practices like these put our public health at risk. increase costs. and undermine our health care system. we are determined to bring them to a stop. >> reporter: prosecutors say gsk held critical safety data with regard to avandia. and they marketed two anti-depression drugs for treatments that were never approved by the fda. paxil, the court charged, was unlawfully promoted to treat depression in children. and the drug wellbutrin sold for a spectrum of treatments ranging from sexual dysfunction to substance addiction. now glaxosmithkline has agreed to pay $3 billion to settle criminal and civil penalties. >> it's a big penalty when you look upon it as cash on the

table. for a company like glaxosmithkline, however, which is making billions of dollars a year, it's really going to cost them doing business. >> reporter: in a statement, the ceo expressed regret and said we have fundamentally changed our procedures for compliance, marketing and selling. glaxosmithkline is not the only target of the justice department's crackdown on health care fraud. in the past three years, a number of big pharma companies have paid for marketing sins. in 2009, pfizer agreed to a $2.3 billion settlement. eli lilly paid $1.4 billion in penalties. now to put this $3 billion settlement in perspective, consider this. last year, glaxosmithkline made $9 billion. and remember the alleged infractions occurred, jeff and erica, over a number of years. maybe five or six years. >> bob, not unhelpful timing for the justice department right now, right? >> well, no. this is a big win for the

justice department, and specifically for attorney general eric holder. as we have reported many times, they have been under siege. they failed to get convictions in the john edwards case. and holder himself was just held in contempt by the house last week over a flap over documents relating to the fast and furious botched gun running sting. so this is a win. and we have to say in fairness this justice department has been good on health care fraud and also good on reinvigorating the civil rights part. >> bob orr, thank you. in colorado this morning, firefighters are making new progress against two massive wildfires. the waldo canyon fire near colorado springs has destroyed nearly 350 homes is now 70% contained. and the fire more fort collins which burned 259 homes is now fully controlled. firefighters, however, now have fewer weapons from the air. that's because seven air force tanker planes were grounded on monday after the crash of a c-130 in south dakota that killed at least one crew member. as of this morning, 14 tanker

planes are still flying. there are also two new fires burning in utah this morning. in the next half-hour, we'll show you how that state's governor is taking on the rather bizarre cause of some of those fires, guns. time now to show you some of the morning's headlines from around the world. eric holder says that republicans are attacking him to get back at president obama. on friday, the house held him in contempt for not turning over documents in the fast and furious gun operation. the worldwide factory slump has reached u.s. manufacturers. exports fell last month for the first time in three years. and new orders declined fast every than they have since 9/11. scientists aren't using the word "discovery," but britain's "telegraph" says they do have the strongest evidence yet of the so-called god particle. it got that name because it's believed to give size and shape to all matter. michael phelps will not try to repeat his own olympic record of eight gold medals.

phelps announced monday he is dropping out of the 200 meter freestyle in london to conserve energy for other events. and ""usa today"" reporting more government offices and hospitals are keeping perfume wearering out. they say fragrances can trigger allergies or asthma. some e,, this national weather report sponsored by cottonelle.

nothing leaves you cleaner or fresher than the cottonelle routine. >> anderson cooper tells the world i'm gay. always have been, always will be. >> we have so many openly gay people now in so many different walks of life that when someone acknowledges they are gay, it's just another part of who they are. it's not a big headline. this morning, we'll look at how coming out is becoming more common and more expressive.

and utah's governor tells target shooters watch out because their guns are causing wildfires. that's causing controversy in oe of the most pro gun states in america. we'll go to salt lake city to see if a gun ban might be the next step. on "cbs this morning." this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by disney pixar's "brave" in theaters now playing. mashed potatoes and gravy. it's my turn...

"sportscenter" bill geist revealed something over the weekend. he told us he has parkinson's disease and

>> good morning. a man is being questioned about this mornings for alarm fire near the 101/280 interchange. witnesses saw the man carrying a gas can near the fire that damaged four homes. two arrests as police and a seven day sit-in in oakland. it was protesting the closure of elementary schools. pg&e wants to raise your energy rates. it would average about $12 per month for the typical customer. the utility says it wants to,,,

>> let's check in on the ac transit camera. right now they are traveling down the shore freeway. as you can see, free and clear this morning, only 20 minutes from the cardenas bridge to the maze. it is definitely a holiday week for a lot of people. metering lights are on and no problems across the san mateo bridge. >> we have some great weather coming our way, lots of sunshine as we head to the afternoon. still some patches of fog. as we look towards the afternoon there will be some great weather ahead. eighties and even 90's in some of the interior valleys. ,,,,,,,,,,

a little surprise in coventry for the olympic torch relay. yeah, those people weren't supposed to be there. it happened on monday. two kids came in to grab the torch. they even let them grab it for a second! >> little kid. >> come on! then the security stepped in, the youngsters were escorted away. they may be savoring their brief moment of olympic glory. maybe they're getting scolded, i don't know. worth a shot, right? >> and it moves on. anderson cooper is making news this week, rather than reporting it. during an e-mail released yesterday, the cnn host and "60 minutes" contributing correspondent revealed he's gay. as john blackstone reports, the real news may be how muted the reaction has been, unlike some other announcements in the past. >> i'm gay.& >> reporter: it was just 15 years ago when ellen degeneres made the cover of "time" magazine by uttering three

simple words, "yep, i'm gay." was a groundbreaking, national news event and a big risk. >> ellen coming out for ellen meant that she was going to possibly lose her career. >> reporter: ellen's announcement led to an evolution, not a revolution, in stars coming out. some were forced, like musician george michael, after his arrest for lewd behavior in 1998. actor shawn hayes played a gay man on "will & grace" for eight seasons but didn't talk about his own homosexuality until after the show ended. increasingly, coming out is losing its shock value. >> by the way, i'm gay, as opposed to, yep, i'm gay, is absolutely the kind of new way of coming out. >> reporter: anderson cooper made his revelation in a matter-of-fact letter to blogger andrew sullivan. "the fact is, i'm gay," cooper wrote, "always have been, always will be, and i couldn't be any more happy, comfortable with myself and proud."

for san francisco public radio host scott schaffer, who is gay, what's striking about the statement is its understatement. >> we have so many openly gay people now in so many different walks of life that when someone acknowledges that they're gay, it's just another part of who they are. it's not a big headline. >> reporter: cooper says he was always out to friends and co-workers but not to the public to avoid the perception of journalistic bias and to protect his safety, reporting in parts of the world hostile to gays. >> for journalists, what we have is our credibility, and i think for anderson cooper, it got to the point where his being, not in the closet, because everyone around him knew he was gay, but just not being openly gay became a liability, because it seemed like he was hiding something. >> reporter: that it's no longer necessary for celebrities to hide is clear from the recent issue of "entertainment weekly," featuring a long list of out film and tv personalities, including jim parsons, neil patrick harris, wanda sykes, andy cohen, jane lynch.

now add tv newsman cooper, who wrote, "there continue to be far too many incidences of bullying, discrimination and violence against people based on their sexual orientation, and i believe there is value in making clear where i stand." for "cbs this morning," john blackstone, san francisco. >> two years ago, chely wright was the first major country music performer to come out publicly. she's with us along with jeff cable, managing editor of "entertainment weekly." the cover story "the art of coming out" was the catalyst for nice to have you both with us. >> great to be here with you. >> great to be here, thank you. >> jeff, did you ever expect this on the heels of this article? >> i didn't expect it, because anderson cooper had been sort of not acknowledging it for so long, and it was always a mystery to me why he didn't, and i'm really glad that he did. i'm really glad that he did. and his statement was perfect. it explained why he had not acknowledged this publicly, and

it also touched on the fact that by not acknowledging it pubicly, when anybody who cares already knows, i'm sending a message that there's something to be ashamed of and i don't want to do that i thought it was really perfect what he said. >> that was in his letter. you bring up an interesting point, though, that you thought he should have done it earlier. why is there so much pressure on someone who's gay to come out? because a heterosexual doesn't have to say, hey, guess what? i'm heterosexual. why is it so important for a gay person? >> i don't want to say i think anderson should have done it, because i think chely agrees, if someone doesn't want to say it, they probably have a lot of reasons. and we assume, oh, they think it might hurt my career, but these people have families, they have parents, they have a lot of considerations. i'm glad that he came out because i think that successful people who are gay really do have a moral obligation to step up and be role models. and i'm really glad that all of the, you know, all of these people on the cover, jim

parsons, neil patrick harris, now anderson cooper, chely wright and being a country singer, it's probably more difficult than for a hollywood actor. i'm really glad that they're stepping up and doing that. >> one of the reasons cooper cited was because he sometimes spends time in war zones, as you know. >> yes. >> and sometimes it's easier to blend in and not be a big deal if you're trying to get some of this information. so, i wonder, chely, i mean, a difference between a journalist and an entertainer, like yourself? >> yeah, i think it's a good point to note that, you know, part of anderson's wheelhouse is he loves to be boots on the ground in these very dangerous places, many countries where it is punishable by death to be a gay man. so you know, when all these years when he didn't come out, that was in the back of my mind about, okay, that could be a reason. i think his letter was really eloquent, really beautiful and really perfectly anderson. as far as journalists versus

entertainers go, all i know is i had a look-in-the-mirror moment, where i realized i was hiding. you know, obviously, i hid because i wanted to protect my career and not be rejected, but i had a come to jesus, if you will, where i knew that i could facilitate ease and dialogue and understanding within my community. >> so, what's changed since? >> what has changed is i'm here. i'm talking about lgbt issues and equality on a daily basis. and we've recently, after i was on your show last time a few weeks ago, i called for a big star in country music to come forward and not just say, i love my gay fans, but advocate for us on a deeper level. and carrie underwood, a few days after i was on this show -- not saying i had anything to do with it, but she stepped forward and said i believe lgbt people deserve every freedom, every right. they should be able to get married. and that's big. we are making progress. >> you mentioned that you thought there was a moral obligation. do you think there's more

questions from the gay community for people to come out or from sort of more -- or from other areas? >> i think the gay community puts a lot of pressure on people. if you look at the way the gay community talked about, you know, anderson cooper, if you look at the way they talked about matt bomer, there was a gigantic eye-roll. you know, why don't these people come out? and you know, it's not like anyone wants to out anderson cooper. it's just that he was out in his life. he just never acknowledged it in the media. and that idea that you don't acknowledge it in the media becomes a real liability and a real negative thing, and it's not just the gay community, it's also the mainstream press, it's "the new york times," it's "entertainment weekly." any time anderson cooper would do an interview, there would always be the big question, well, when are you going to talk about your private life? >> right. >> you're doing a talk show in the afternoon. >> right. >> when are you going to talk about your private life? now it's not such a big deal. we don't have to talk about that question. >> bringing up the issue about a

talk show, any thoughts about doing this in an e-mail, as opposed to his medium, which is on tv. >> i think it's perfect the way he did it. i think, again, it was perfectly anderson. i don't feel like -- i don't feel like he was hiding, because as we've mentioned, a lot of folks knew. he had a lot of people in his circle, certainly his folks at cnn knew. i think he gave a genuine response to someone, andrew sullivan reached out to him, said do you have comments on this article? and he gave a genuine response and said, and by the way, share this with your readers. i don't think in any way it was a cowardly move, a sneaky get it under the radar on a holiday weekend. i thought it was just a real genuine human response to a question asked, and i think, you know, i'm certainly -- i can't say what anderson cooper thinks, but i would imagine that at some point recently, he probably said to himself, why am i not out? why haven't i not done this? okay, i'll just do it. >> it's also no different than the way all of these people on our cover, you know, have come

out. you know, zachary quinto, jim parsons, it's been dropped as a by-the-way point. what they're saying is, this is not what defines me. this is part of who i am and i'm being honest about it. but anderson cooper doesn't want to be known only as a gay man in the same way he doesn't want to be known only as, you know, a vanderbilt, you know? he's a journalist. >> i thought zachary quinto's coming out was particularly profound and emotional because he said, i've done an "it gets better" video, and he said i was telling young people, i'm for you. but there's a difference in saying i'm for you and i am you. and that's what anderson just did. because we know there's not been a more fierce advocate for antibullying measures and efforts than anderson cooper. no one doubted that he was for us. now everyone knows that he is us. >> chely wright, jess cagle, good to have both of you here.

>> thank you. >> thank you. target shooters in utah don't want to give up their guns, even when they are now being blamed for starting more than a dozen wildfires. this morning we'll take a look at what the state is doing about it. and tomorrow, the boston pops. get ready for america's greatest fourth of july celebration on "cbs this morning." over the south pacific in 1943. i got mine in iraq, 2003. usaa auto insurance is often handed down from generation to generation. because it offers a superior level of protection, and because usaa's commitment to serve the military, veterans and their families is without equal. begin your legacy, get an auto insurance quote. usaa. we know what it means to serve. a stevia leaf erased my fears. it made my willpower a super hero. as for calories, it has zero. twinkle twinkle truvia® star natural sweetness, i love just what you are. truvia. honestly sweet.

got two small kids. i worry about them. >> reporter: so, you are the envy of the country now because your unemployment. >> we are going to be the richest state per capita eventually. we have an endless amount in our treasury. we have full employment and opportunity in a way that other states would beg to have. the question is what do we do with it and do we survive this and do we manage it properly? >> so, mr. pitts, should these strangers start heading up to north dakota? how long will this boom last? >> the experts say maybe 20, 30 years, but the last time -- >> 20, 30 years? >> yeah, but the last time they had a boom in the '80s, they thought it would go for a long time and it lasted three years. >> and one of the questions is what happened there in 20, 30 years? when everything leaves? >> sure, exactly. that's what happened to towns like williston last year. they built these houses and structures and then the boom goes away and they hit hard

times. >> so, is that one of the reasons they haven't built up, or is it simply that the boom has happened too quickly to build that necessary infrastructure? >> too quickly, and one word, winter. the oil business is a 24/7, year-round business. new construction only takes place when the weather allows. and as we all know, winter in north dakota is no joke. >> it lasts a while. >> yes, it does. 60 below zero sometimes. >> some interesting fashion choices in that piece. your friend george with the flamed shirt. interesting choice. >> well, there aren't a whole lot of options there. i went to a subway one day and waited in line 45 minutes for a sandwich. so you know, you've got to pick your -- you know. >> you do what you have to do. >> yes, exactly. >> thank you. nice to see you. >> thank you. >> nice. andrew garfield and emma stone are a couple on and off screen, and they're together in one of the summer's most anticipated blockbusters. charlie spoke with the co-host and the director of "the amazing spider-man." that's ahead when "cbs this morning" continues. ♪ ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

♪ i love it. >> "beast of burden." love the stones. this year is the 50th anniversary of "spider-man." director mark webb is retelling the classic story in the new movie "the amazing spider-man," which opened in theaters at midnight. >> there's already a line. according to "variety," they sold more than $50 million in tickets ahead of time. so, before charlie went on vacation, he talked with mark webb and the co-stars, andrew garfield and emma stone, on pbs. he's got a show there, too. charlie asked the director about following those other "spider-man" movies from a few years ago. >> when you got the assignment, knowing that the series before

made like $1.4 billion and counting -- >> yes, right. >> what did you say? >> you know, you said the right question. it was intimidating, but it was -- those numbers are abstract, really, you know. it's hard to calculate that. and i think i was just -- it was terrifying and exhilarating and all the things that you would imagine it would be. but you can't really think about that on a day-to-day basis. you've just got to think about the story and putting it together. but as soon as it happened, we had a start date. we had to get to work on the script and find the cast. it became really about just breaking it down into tiny little tasks. >> and so, what did they say to you? because the idea is this "spider-man" is more somehow real, more -- >> well, yeah, they didn't really come with a plan. i think that there's -- i mean, if you look at "spider"spider-m it's different than "harry potter." spider-man has 50 years of

comics. there are a lot of different infections of the comics, a lot of different writers and illustrators that come along, and there are parts of the story that i was genuinely curious about that hadn't been explored cinematically before. there is peter's parents, which is the starting point. and that point of the movie that defined the movie and the character was the point where he was left behind by his parents at 7 years old, which to me is more important. >> so, how do you see peter? >> for me, he was always a kid who had that impulse before he was a hero and felt stronger on the inside than he was on the outside and wanted to do what was right but didn't have the authority or the power to do anything about it. >> so when they called you about being quinn, playing quinn, did you say, i've been waiting for your call, thank you for calling? >> i had met laura, one of our incredible producers, very early on and we had talked about mary jane before they had written the

script. and when they came back around months later and said i'd be auditioning for gwen, or asked me if i would audition for gwen, i didn't know anything about the gwen stacy star because i didn't grow up reading the comic books. so, when i went and read and learned the story, i don't know if you know her whole history, but it's stunning and so incredibly tragic and just wild. it blew me away. and i thought, all right, well, if they're going to do this, this movie is probably going to be pretty, pretty incredible. >> who's on your list of people that you would most like to emulate, satisfy, seek to improve or follow their career? >> well, the person i admire's career theost is diane keaton. >> because? >> because she's found a way to do it all and to do it all her way. she doesn't seem -- she doesn't remind me of anybody else and she seems authentic to me.

she doesnalso seems very nervou i can empathize with that. i love her in comedy and i love her in "the godfather," and i love her in "looking for mr. goodbar." i think she can do it all in a very special way. >> sometimes in real life she seems stylized, but that in her is authentic. >> that in her is authentic, yeah. she puts it all together herself, and that makes me want to be more myself. so, it's not really that i'd like to be like her, it's that she inspires me to be more whatever my path is. >> in being where you are now, what's been the most beneficial thing? >> it's been a huge, wonderful thing to know andrew. >> yeah. >> that's been a huge comfort and something that has helped me understand days and the ever-changing nature of this. >> the personal relationship enhances the professional life?

>> yeah, yeah. i think empathy and understanding of the difficulties and the land mines and valuing what's to be valued. just, i can't -- you have to be reminded, and sometimes you need someone on the outside to remind you. and yeah, i think it means the world, you know? and that there are certain people that you meet on the way that are little beacons of keep going that way, keep going that way. >> because you know thuv experienced it or they have the same kind of -- >> i don't even know. there's something instinctive, but you get a little bit of, oh, that's what i'm supposed to -- that's the room i'm supposed to be? >> you know "cat's cradle," where they talk about groups, when you meet people that's in those groups. that's what gwen's reading at the beginning of "spider-man." i love that book so much.

it's about meeting those along the way, moments of recognition. you're on a -- you think like i do. >> good reference. >> i like them together on and off the screen. >> yeah. >> the movie i thought was great. >> you liked it a lot. >> i really did. >> you said you were a big "spider-man" guy, growing up. >> i was. "the amazing spider-man." >> on the fourth of july holiday, if you're looking for something to do, go to the movies. >> you can see the whole interview online at charlierose.com. that does it for us, but we'll see you on the fourth for "cbs this morning." x ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

>> good morning. the 61 year-old man is under arrest and is being questioned for a possible act of arson. flames damaged three houses this morning at 3:00 a.m., about 20 people had to evacuate. hundreds of nurses are staging a one day strike at seven bay area hospitals. it affects other health hospitals. the dispute is over unresolved issues in contract negotiations including sick leave, health care payments, and staffing. officers cleared a protest at an oakland school. they had been camped out at

lake view elementary for more than two weeks demanding the abandonment of a plan to close the school. >> looking pretty good around the bay area today with temperatures heating up nicely. yesterday we had a couple of patches of fog out there but today we are looking good in many of the bally's already. high pressure is beginning to sneak back in just enough to lift the trough which will bring the temperatures up into the 80s and even some of the low 90s in the valleys. 60s out towards the coast line. the fourth of july is looking good and then the cool things down on thursday and friday.

>> we're still following an accident northbound highway 85 by camden ave. there is still 1 million blocked but overall traffic is lighter than we typically see. it has been a great morning commute over all. a little bit sluggish as you leave millipede is heading toward san jose. 19 minutes through the altamont pass. the bay bridge, no delay right now heading into san francisco
