7:03 am
nancy cortes is on capitol hill. >> good morning to you and to our viewers in the west. while republicans immediately dismissed the tax plan as a tax hike on job creators in a week economy. both sides are digging in here. even though about 98% of americans would fare just about the same. president obama officially called on congress monday to extend the low bush era tax cuts for one more year. many members believe that responsibility comes from the top down, so that if we that that will somehow unleash jobs and economic growth. >> i disagree. i think they're wrong.
7:04 am
>> that the president was wrong for wanting -- no taxes are going up on anybody. at the lower end of the income spectrum or -- households. >> households between $500,000 and $1 million a year. under the president's proposal. >> the republicans' plan adds about $700 billion more than the president's plan does. is it worth that much money? >> i think there's a real
7:05 am
dispute as to how much you look at the growth potential. if you really allow people to keep more of their hard-earned money, we'll see more confidence come back into the economy. >> the white house ups the ante, saying that the president won't sign a bill that extends the tax cuts for the top 2%. but the president has made that threat before, and had to back down when he didn't have the votes. he doesn't appear to have the votes right now. even though the white house is pushing the notion that even wealthy americans would get a tax cut under his plan because the first $250,000 of their income would be taxed at that lower rate. republicans say that's not enough. all of their incomes should be taxed at today's low levels. >> nancy cortes, thank you. this morning, house speaker john boehner underlines the republican view at a conference in washington, saying that key tax cuts for only the middle class would hurt the country's economic recovery. >> by raising taxes on those who
7:06 am
make more than $250,000, half of those people who are going to be taxed are small business people. and while y would we want to tae people that create jobs in this country makes no sense. >> the president will put his tax plan to voters in iowa this morning. mitt romney campaigning in colorado. >> as bill plante reports issue the former massachusetts governor is now winning the financial race by a wide margin. those numbers just coming out this week. bill, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. and good morning across the west. you know, for two months now, the republicans and mitt romney have taken in more money than the president and the democrats. this raises the possibility that this president up until now the most prodigious fundraiser in politics could be the first to be outspent and outraised by his opponent. in june, the president raised $71 million, but he was far outpaced by the romney campaign,
7:07 am
which raised $106 million. the second straight month. in may, romney had the advantage by about $17 million. the obama campaign is sounding the alarm. in an email plea for donations, campaign manager jim messina wrote, the republican gap is getting wider. if it continues at this pace, it could cost the us the election. it's the cesentiment that the president has echoed. >> i need you to make in phone calls. get your family members going. >> reporter: but it's not for lack of trying. mr. obama has been fundraising at an unprecedented rate. he has done 107 fundraisers so far this year, compared to 36 for george w. bush at this time in his 2004 re-election campaign. the president has even made tucked rai fundraising calls. he outspent john mccain 3-1.
7:08 am
buoyed by enthusiasm from small donors as well as wall street and hollywood. but this year, wall street is far less generous and the small donors far less excited. mitt romney has had no trouble raising money from wealthy supporters. this past weekend at a dinner in the hamptons with the price of admission $75,000 a couple. the president is also warning about money from outside groups, who can raise unlimited amounts, where the gop has the financial advantage. >> the other side is spending more money than we have ever seen before. you have billionaires writing $10 million checks. yeah. they just are spending money like nobody's business. >> reporter: the one place so far in this campaign where obama campaign officials think that they have a head start is in eight key swing states, where so far they have spent $40 million in advertising compared to romney's $13 million. and campaign officials think that these ads are working in those states. but as one of them put it, these numbers are a clarion call to
7:09 am
our supporters. charlie, erica? >> bill, thank you very much. let's bring in chief washington correspondent and host of "face the nation" bob schieffer. good morning. >> hey. >> messina says it will cost the election if this fundraising gap continues. is that simply fundraising rhetoric or is that a real scare for the obama re-election effort? >> well, i think the obama people take this very seriously. i mean, money matters. and all you have to do is go back to the republican primaries to see an example of that. i mean, look. every time that an alternative to mitt romney, you know, sort of emerged during those primaries, romney, who had more money than all of the other candidates, simply dumped a lot of negative advertising on him, and that alternative went away. just one after the other. i think also when you listen to what bill plante was just talking about, although obama is
7:10 am
being -- running behind in raising money, he is spending more money in these swing states. and in those swing states, where he's running all these ads about romney and vulture capitalism and all of that, obama has the lead. whether he can keep that or not, we'll find out as this goes on. but this is certainly something when the obama people say they are concerned about it, i kind of take them at their word, charlie. >> there's also this question. they are spending that money early, the obama team, in order to define mitt romney early on. is that working? >> yes. well, it is in some of those swing states certainly or at least it seems to be. i think both of these campaigns, though, charlie, are going to have to get positive here somewhere down the line. president obama has got to give us more specifics it seems to me somewhere along the line about what it is he actually intends to do in the second term. in the same way that we are going to have to get some
7:11 am
specifics it seems to me from mitt romney. i mean, you know, as even his own supporters say, he's got to give us something more than just, say, we're better off without barack obama. you know, sunday on "face the nation" haley barbour was talking about it, and he said, you know, there is a lot to love about mitt romney because you'll remember john boehner, the republican house speaker, said earlier in the week he couldn't make people love mitt romney. haley barbour said, well, there's a lot to love about him, but he said in the end, ihink the election is all about defeating barack obama. i'm not sure that's right. i think both of these candidates are going to have to give us a little more to go on. but it's so close now. and it's going to be close right up until the end. >> bob, talk with us a little bit about this announcement from the president yesterday about the tax cuts. a lot of people saying this is purely political. expect denials from the white house. is it an attempt to simply move away from the numbers on the economy and friday's job report?
7:12 am
>> well, you can certainly make that argument. yes, i would guess that there is a political component to this. we do have an election coming here. but this is just a continuing effort to draw the line. because while the romney people are trying to make this a referendum on barack obama, the obama people are trying to make it a referendum on mitt romney. they're saying, look, if we're elected, this is what's going to happen, and if you elect him, that's what's going to happen. it's all rhetoric, though. i mean, congress is not going to pass this proposal that the president put out. this is, you know, about the 40th time he's put it out. and by the same token, congress is not going to repeal the health care law because the republicans are going to bring that to a vote in the house this week for about the 40th time. this is just all things to talk about during the election.
7:13 am
and that's not what this election is going to be decided on, erica. but this is just an effort to continue to draw the line, to show the differences between these two candidates. and they are both doing it. >> bob schieffer, always nice to talk with you. thanks. >> you bet. rahm emanuel used to be the president's chief of staff. now is mayor of chicago. he says washington isn't helping him do his job. scott pelley asked emanuel about the difference between the white house and the mayor's office. >> in terms of jobs, as a mayor, is washington so gridlocked now it's essentially useless to you, and you need to go out and do your own thing in the city of chicago because the help is not coming from d.c.? >> well, yes and no. i can't create an island, so that's one thing. so the decisions in washington do matter. but where i used to as a mayor
7:14 am
rely on washington, i'm going to try to come up with different strategies to do a breakout because i'm not going to get stuff in their dysfunctionality and i'm not going to get caught in the fact of the state. they have their own budgetary issues. i could not wait for washington to get a highway built. and even when you get it, it doesn't have everything we need to do. so we have made certain decisions about what we need to do. that's true about our mass transit system, or water and sewer system. and then 2,000 miles of road are going to get paved just for the next decade. i can't wait for washington. so i have to do that. >> you said that washington is dysfunctional. >> is that breaking news? you're not going to go live with you now, is it? >> that's how it seems to you, running the third largest city in america? dysfunctional? >> well, yeah. i have my own view of why. but on certain things, i have decided in my view to allow an
7:15 am
ideology to become an impasse to progress where it's a mistake. you should not be more loyal or more loyal to idealism. we have things to do in the city of chicago that have nothing to do with ideology. it is making sure that taxpayers and residents get what they deserve. >> rahm emanuel talking with scott pelley. more on that conversation later in the week. they'll be talking about jobs and the economy on "cbs evening news." kofi annan is in iran this morning to trying to get support for his latest peace effort in syria. he met with syrian president bashir al assad on monday. and there is now a growing refugee issue in turkey. we have a report from the syrian border on that story. >> reporter: there are currently more than 36,000 syrian refugees living here inside turkey, and 300 more are making the journey across the border every single
7:16 am
day to try to escape the fighting and violence inside their country. tensions along this border have really racheted up in the last couple of weeks after the syrian military shot down two turkish pilots. the turkish military has responded by bolstering its presence along this border. and one official here told us that, quote, we are ready to meet any challenges that the syrian military is going to try to put to us. meanwhile, kofi annan, u.n.'s special envoy in damascus yesterday, saying that he and president al assad have agreed on a joint approach to ending the violence, but opposition members saying that annan's peace plan has lost all credibility and there's no peace plan to allow assad to stay in power of any sort. time now to show you some of the morning's headlines from around the globe. the "wall street journal" reports that google is close to paying a $22.5 million fine for

7:31 am
>> they're looking for records. people see these stories and after the headline they think, they're all listening in. what they're looking for is all of that stuff that we have in our devices. when you think about what's in your blackberry, iphone, cell phone, it's not just the numbers you call, there are text messages in there. there's other data. there's geo location data of where you were and when. >> is the number a large number? >> it sounds like a lot, 1.3 million requests, but when you consider there's 300 million americans, there's 18,000 law enforcement agencies spread across the country, it's not that big a number. >> but is it indicative that law enforcement officials are going to do more and more and more? >> i think it is, and i think it's -- i think it's kind of driven by the changing role of the cell phone. first of all, it used to be, you know, you had your phone at home and your phone at work and it was a big deal to get those records. now everybody has two or three
7:32 am
devices and when you get into a criminal organization, they have two or three devices and they change them out every couple of weeks on the idea of staying a step ahead of law enforcement so the numbers grow. >> who are they -- you mentioned, you know, if it's a suspected criminal they're going after, does the average american have to worry about law enforcement trying to look at their records? >> not really. the average american is kind of out of the loop here. now let me just qualify that, which is, let's say a terrorism investigation. you come up as a suspect. i'm the fbi agent and i say, i need to know about this person so i'm going to say, i'm trying to figure out are they part of a cell. let me take their phone records and use that to map who is their social network. if i'm going to identify who might be criminal associates, who might be involved in a plot, let's see who they call the most. >> what about privacy concerns? because a lot of people have voiced concerns, including congressman ed markey, valid?
7:33 am
>> privacy concerns are valid. so the question is when a law enforcement agency goes for these records, have they established a proper purpose? is it attached to a legitimate investigation? is there a record of that? and if they were to go back on that and look at it, could they justify this is why we're interested in this person and this is why that circle grew out into others. but basically these work on a step ladder of intrusiveness so the first thing, the least intrusive is, what are your toll records? who are you calling? you know, next up the line would be geo location. where were you when you made those calls. next up the line would be the real time toll record. that's a pen register. that means as you dial the number. now we're into court order territory. you've got to go to a judge to get that. as you dial a number it's fed in real time to law enforcement. the last piece in order of
7:34 am
intrusiveness of course is a wire tap but most of this that they're talking about is just transactional records. >> ed, how much of that is linked to terror and the fear of terror? >> a lot. there's a different standard there. nobody wrote this down in a book or anything, but the reality is if somebody goes in and sticks up the bank on the corner and shoots the guard and runs away, nobody holds hearings to say why didn't the police and fbi know about this beforehand and stop it. if somebody places a bomb on a subway train somewhere, everybody's going to want to know why didn't we have this intelligence, why didn't we look at this person, why didn't we look at the people they were connected to. so there's a lot of that in terrorism investigations which is developing whose the person and who are the people around them in communications. >> thanks, john. good to see you. >> thanks for having me. after a string of health problems, the williams sisters won their wimbledon title this weekend. venus williams is here looking at that victory and ahead to the olympics. >> tomorrow the legendary stevie nicks and talking about her

can you imagine you're in this situation? let me set the scene for you. in new jersey, a teenager, you can see, jumps off a chair lift. apparently, she was stranded with her friend as a violent thunderstorm was approaching. the ride had stopped. in a panic, the girl kicks off her shoes and jumps. she fell 35 feet, was only bruised, amazingly. her friend actually got off safely after she put the power back on. i don't ever want to be in that situation. welcome back to "cbs this morning." for 20 years now -- for 12 years now, venus williams has been winning championships at wimbledon. this weekend, she won the women's doubles with her sister, serena, their 13th grand slam doubles title. however, venus lost in the first round of the women's singles, another setback as she battles effects of an autoimmune disease. she joins us now in studio 57 and we're thrilled to have her here. >> thank you. thanks for having me. >> great to see you. how was this wimbledon for you, was it bittersweet? >> no, it was a great experience
7:40 am
for serena and i. obviously, watching her in the stands in the final, i felt like i played that match. i was sitting there, i was so nervous. i've never been so nervous. i just wanted her to have that feeling. so, it was a great wimbledon for me, for all of us. >> and she came right back and played the doubles as much as she faced, she was right there with you for the doubles. >> and we've done that a handful of times, you know? it's such an honor to be in the singles final . and to be in the doubles finals, it's like, wow. i can't believe we're in both finals. so we wanted to kind of sweep. >> at your very best and at her very best, one on one, who wins? >> well, i don't think that's a fair question, because i mean, i'd have to say me, she'd have to say her and then there would be a big feud and the friendly sisterhood would be over. but we believe in so much and at the same time, we have so much self-belief. i guess the match would just go on and on. it wouldn't end. >> you had to be impressed with the serve, the way she was serving at bibserve
7:41 am
ing at wimbledon. >> oh, my god, the serve! i was thinking, at some point, i've got to be able to handle that. it was so impressive, and everyone, all of our family in the stands, whenever she would get down, we were like, we know the serve's coming, so it was awesome. >> you've got that weapon, you can -- >> yeah. >> do you like playing her, though? because you are very close, very supportive of one another. >> yeah. >> do you like being across the net from her? >> yeah. i mean, that's the age-old question. we've been playing each other since the first time was 1998, so it's been 14 years. it was our dream, to play each other in major finals and we've been able to do that. we've lived our dream. >> so, in the end, you have to say that what your dad envisioned and what your mom envisioned and what has really worked, i mean, it has done everything -- >> wow, yeah. >> -- that you hoped for, everybody. >> yeah. i think one amazing thing in life is to be able to live your dreams and we've been able to live beyond our dreams, and i would have never thought that
7:42 am
that would happen, you know? so, it's very surreal, and the best part is that we still get to do this. >> and two years ago, we were worried whether she would play. >> yeah. >> top flight tennis again. >> yeah. so, she went through a lot of health scares, but the best part is that, you know, the human spirit, especially serena's, is very resilient. >> and yours. how was your fight with illness? >> yeah, we both had issues, and you know, diagnosed with autoimmune disease. and for me, that gave me a lot of answers, and throughout that, i had to change my diet as well. so, i had to make a lot of changes. >> but you've never looked better. >> well, thank you very much. thank you. i became a raw vegan, and i'm not perfect, but i forgive myself when i make mistakes and i do a lot of juicing as well, a lot of wheat grass shots. i do a lot of my wheat grass shots at jamba juice, actually, lots of fresh juices and things like that. >> for people who aren't familiar, you mentioned an
7:43 am
autoimmune disease, something called sjogren's syndrome. what's that actually do to you and your body? >> the thing with autoimmune disease is that it can manifest in so many different ways. so, it affects the whole body. and for sjogren's, it's dry eyes and dry mouth are the hallmark symptoms, but fatigue can be so heavy that sitting in a chair is a huge effort. so, as a professional athlete, if you have fatigue, then that's tough. >> yeah. >> you can also have joint pain, you can also have issues with your internal system. so for me, fatigue is something that i'm always working on. >> right. >> i've made huge improvements since i was first diagnosed, so that has been huge for me, and it's a journey that i continue on, but definitely changing my diet has -- >> helped a lot. >> -- made a big difference. >> you talked about when this became a dream for you, you said in the past that initially it was your dad's dream. when did it become your dream,

director of pain medicine. this is a voluntary program. do you feel it goes far enough? are you happy with it? >> generally speaking it doesn't go far enough. it only covers long acting opioids. for example, vicodin and percocet and the bottom line is that it's not mandatory. it's something that's elective. what we do know is that during our training we don't get enough experience, enough knowledge to prescribe these medications. >> if it's giving you more experience or more knowledge is it a step in the right direction? >> it's a step in the right direction. it's more comprehensive. a lot eds to be done at the medical school level and at the residency level to increase the education. >> why not make it mandatory? >> it's headed in that direction. i think it may occur, for example, at the hospital level, for you to be credentialed at the hospital. you may have to take a course and do well on it for you to be credentialed. it can occur at the state level for you to get your dea license you would have to take a test and do an audit.

>> it's huge. it's an astounding problem. currently what's happening is there are more people that prescribe opioids and opioid overdose than car accident related deaths. >> what are we learning about pain? >> what we're learning about pain is that it's not as simple as treating it with a single medication. it needs a more comprehensive plan. it needs a biopsychosocial plan to bring it under control. >> what does that mean? >> it's got to be a good clinical indication. psychosocial circumstances as well. we've got to sort of step away from just looking at pain's course. we've got to look at patient's function, putting them back to work. a good psychological and social and physical function is the end point, not a pain score. >> and what about something like doctor shopping which we've heard more about in the last few years and some of the onus on patients? >> i think patient education needs to be part of it as well and it is part of the initiative. i think doctors need better

8:31 am
tell us who sam israel was. >> he ran a hedge found called bayou, a high-tech, high-velocity fund that was really a state-of-the-art thing to the average investor, to the sophisticated investors lucky enough to get invested at the time. he was kind of a breed of a wall street hedge fund hero. or at least that's how he appeared to people. >> he was very cocky, by his own description, very cocky and arrogant. was fascinates me about the book is you start out by telling us that he said to you, i'm going to be brutally honest, even if it makes me look bad, i'm going to tell you the truth as i know it, but also know that i'm a liar and i'm a self-confessed con man. so, how did you know what to believe with this fantastical tale he was telling you? >> reporting. i've spent three years at this and i had all these documents, everything you could possibly have to check the facts out, to make sure that what he was saying checked out, and you know, the amazing thing to me is the crazier the story got, the truer it got, you know. this is a man who probably
8:32 am
became infamous for faking his own suicide. >> right. >> after he was convicted and sentenced to 20 years, he ran away and then fooled the fbi. they really had no idea where he was. he turned himself in. so, he's a master of deception as well as a master of delusion. >> what's the most interesting thing about this story for you? >> for me, it's the way in which -- so, i started talking to him in september of 2008. three weeks later, the global financial crisis hit. sam was telling me this story that sounded cooky about a secret bond market in europe and the shadow and the federal reserve's a ponzi scheme. and i don't know if you remember that moment in november and december of 2008 when it just looked like there was no truth to wall street? >> how could you not remember? >> yes, yes. >> so, sam was telling this story as that was unfolding, and that's when i knew i had a book. i knew that sam, who was a true insider -- his family's one of the most prominent wall street families -- or not wall street, commodity trading families in history. very successful people, friends with alan greenspan, sandy wile, larry tisch, big-time wall street people. sam had been inside the room growing up around these people,
8:33 am
so when he was telling me that this was all a big con, i decided that i really ought to listen. >> and after all this, why did he turn himself in? >> deborah ryan, his girlfriend. he couldn't take that he was destroying her life. they arrested her and charged her. and to this day, you know, that's i think his biggest regret. i mean, he really -- >> he regrets that he got her involved? >> yeah. >> yeah, that he got her involved. >> he's very remorseful about the investors he hurt. another thing that's interesting about sam is, you know, people have this idea of the hedge fund person, bernard madoff who was really a monster, a psychopath. sam is a human being. sam was always trying to fix the problem, get over. he didn't want to be a criminal. it's just circumstances came along, he couldn't admit to failure, and so he bought himself time and the lie grew and grew and grew. and so, at the end of it, he's $150 million down, he's got $150 million bucks, what would you do? >> then he gets conned, guy. then he gets conned. it's sort of like it takes one to know one. so, how much money does he lose
8:34 am
ultimately? and then he gets involved with another shady deal. >> yeah. so, what happens is that, as i say, he's down this massive amount of money, he's trying to get something something. his idea is it's america. >> to pay somebody back. >> it's america. nobody cares how you make the money, just make it. he falls in with this alleged cia guy who says there's a secret market. and you know, it sounds cooky, but this is one of the largest international crime, unprosecuted crime -- they call it the crime of the century -- these fake bonds. even right now, someone's watching, thousands of people are watching who have invested in these fake bonds. it's a $10 billion industry that the fbi is pretty much hopeless to stop. >> when you wrote this, do you think this is a movie? >> i did. [ laughter ] >> there for you. >> guy, it is a movie. it is a movie. there are layers and layers and layers. and you talk about bernie madoff. they're in the same prison facility. >> yes. >> so -- >> north carolina. >> yeah, your home state of north carolina. you must be so proud.
8:35 am
