games. >> mitt romney tries to diffuse olympic outrage. >> mitt romney wants to know whether we're ready. are we ready? are we ready? [ cheers and applause ] yes, we are! >> of course, it's easier if you hold an olympic games in the middle of nowhere. utah is not in the middle of nowhere. it's in the northwest corner of nowhere. extreme weather from the great plains to the northeast. >> oh, yeah. horrible. just ripping things up. >> knocking out power to more than 200,000 people. >> in el myra, new york, a possible tornado. >> i was concerned about getting my sob out. >> one of jerry sandusky's victim's attorneys releasing phone messages left on his phone days before his arrest. >> i'll talk to you later. thanks. >> a couple in washington state has spent the last week watching their frontline simply disappear

off a 200 foot cliff >> a pint-sized pooch stolen from a pet store and the accused dog napper caught on video using his pants. >> all that -- >> made it clear that sanchez will start under center, but still tim tebow is the center of attention. >> i know. i'm sorry. >> if you want to have a serious conversation, let's have. >> want to have a serious conversation. >> it's the last time i'm going to listen to my wife when she says, why don't you go out and see a movie? >> oh! >> and all that matters. >> this only happens every few years. so try to have fun. but also win. right? in the end, winning is good. >> on "cbs this morning." >> greece is already 14 gold medals in debt. captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning." mitt romney will attend tonight's opening of the summer

olympics in london. his trip overseas was supposed to show his leadership on the world stage. >> but he's on the defensive this morning after making a series of missteps. jan crawford is at the olympic village in london where it's gotten off to a rocky start for mitt romney today. >> reporter: well, it has. and good morning, gayle, and good morning, charlie. this really started earlier this week in an interview with nbc news when romney seemed to question whether or not london was ready for the games. and those remarks did not escape the famously ferocious british press. it has had a field day drumming up the drama. plook at this. i picked up a copy of the tabloid "the sun" this morning. and look at this headline. can you see it? mitt the twit. that is not the kind of headline you want if you're a presidential candidate. listen, i've got to tell you, it's not just the british press that's being critical of mitt romney. >> there's a guy called mitt romney who wants to know whether or not we're ready. >> that's london's mayor, boris

johnson, talking in hyde park to 80,000 people who if they weren't sure before now know exactly who mitt romney is. but not for the reasons romney may have hoped. this is what romney in london was supposed to be, high level meetings, looking presidential. >> mr. mitt romney. >> and reminding voters that 10 years ago, he ran salt lake city successfully olympic games. >> is this a great show or what? >> instead, the former massachusetts governor made something of an unforced error on the other guy's playing field, sounding less than diplomatic when asked for his opinion on how london's games were shaping up. >> there are a few things that were disconcerting. the stories about the private security firm not having enough people. the supposed strike of the immigration and customs officials. that obviously is not something which is encouraging. >> that caused a storm in the tea cup, and started a trans-atlantic war of words after prime minister david cameron said this. >> we are holding an olympic

games in one of the busiest, most active, bustling cities anywhere in the world. and of course it's easier if you hold an olympic games in the middle of nowhere. >> reporter: cameron was responding to a question about subway delays, not romney. and days later said he was not referring to salt lake city. but the mayor of london said otherwise. he took offense, releasing a statement inviting prime minister cameron to stop by anytime. we'd love to have him and happy to send a map so he doesn't have any trouble locating the middle of nowhere. and "the daily telegraph" opines that mitt romney is perhaps the only politician who could start a trip that was supposed to be a charm offensive by being utterly devoid of charm and mildly offensive. after a meeting with cameron, romney walked back his critique. >> what i've seen shows imagination and forethought and a lot of organization. and expect the games to be highly successful. >> reporter: now prime minister cameron said after his meeting

with romney that he knew that romney had run a successful olympics and he appreciated that vote of confidence. but, gayle, and charlie, i have to tell you all of this here has really overshadowed one of the main reasons romney was coming to london, which of course was to remind americans of his role in saving those troubled salt lake city olympics 10 years ago. >> jan crawford, thank you. the house majority leader, republican congressman eric cantor is here with us this morning. welcome. >> good morning. >> are you worried about your candidate and what's going on in london and the press he's getting? >> no, i'm really not. i think international headlines are one thing. barack obama started his campaign and had great international headlines. and i think what we saw there is some allies have turned on him. so i think that what most americans are looking at are our athletes there, looking for them to win and bring home a bunch of gold medals. >> let me turn to the economy. i interviewed secretary geithner early on and talking about the fiscal cliff early this week. he said there's serious

conversations going on. can you tell us more about that? >> well, there are a lot of folks in washington that are having serious conversations about the implications of the fiscal cliff. you know, it is really going to come down to this election. i mean, the lines have been drawn. you know, this week in the senate, barack obama's tax hike proposal was brought up and passed on a party line vote. and i think that on the other hand -- >> senate voted yes. house voted no. >> in the house, we intend to bring up a bill to ensure that taxes don't go up on anybody. and those lines have been drawn. mitt romney will come to the table with very pro growth economic plans for this country to help the small businesses that are job creators. so, yeah, there's a lot of discussion about what the election will mean. >> regardless of who is president, this country faces a fiscal cliff. is a grand bargain possible if president obama is re-elected? >> well, you know -- >> that would include revenue increases? >> i'm confident that mitt romney will be elected our next

president. but as we know, the operation of the law will bring about automatic tax hikes, which is why it's so important that mitt romney be elected, because now is not the time to raise taxes on working families or small businesses. and especially given the fact that washington has not been able to control its spending. the more you tax folks, take money out of their pockets and let washington spend it, the more you are digging the hole deeper, which is why we do need to get this thing straight, resolve the underlying problems caused -- >> do you believe that will happen? >> i do, charlie. i think that in america, we have always tried things and may have taken a little longer than we should, but we'll get to the point where we'll resolve it. >> gdp numbers are out today. what do you expect is will show about the growth of the u.s. economy? >> i think we're going to still see this very disappointing anemic growth numbers. i know that unemployment has been above 8% for 41 months. that's what this election is about. that's why mitt romney is really the man for the time.

he is a business guy who understands how to get the onomy back on track. >> do you think bain is hurting him, the attack from the obama administration on bain? >> i think this is the only thing that the obama campaign can do because they can't run on the record of the president. this is an obama economy. and i think too many people are hurting right now. and there's really no other place for them to go. >> here's what's interesting about you. a man who may very well be in the future speaker of the house of the house of representatives. the number two-man in the republican house today. tolerance on gays and muslims. cantor urged his party and the nation to guard against intolerance on issues ranging from gay marriage to the role of muslims in the government, arguing that the country's diversity of opinion in acceptance is part of america's basic fabric. are you worried that there is today too much intolerance and some of it is coming from within your own party? >> you know, i would say there is equal opportunity of intolerance unfortunately, charlie, in this country. and to me, it's really important

for us to remember that we are a country that appreciates freedom and diversity. and if i have an opinion and believe in traditional marriage, i think that deserves respect, just like i respect someone with a different opinion. and that was the point i was trying to make. >> do you think congresswoman bachmann was out of line? >> again -- >> it does not square with this. >> well, again, i think that if you read some of the reports that have covered this story, i think that her concern was about the security of the country. so that's about all i know about this. >> but beyond your own sense of diversity and tolerance, does this reflect on your own part some sense that this may damage the party in the general election? if there's a perception that the party and its ideas do not reflect diversity and intolerance. >> you know, i feel very strongly about the fact that we are a nation of inclusion. we are built on the waves of immigrants that have come to

these shores. i myself am a member of a minority faith and have enjoyed the ability to pursue and practice that faith. unlike i could anywhere else in the world. and that is the point here. we all have the freedom that was given to us by our creator. and was memorialized if you will in the documents that provide the legal framework for us to live. >> but some of the fundraisers in your party are urging a different look at same-scene of the accident marriage. >> i'm not so sure what the reference to a fundraiser is. what i can tell you is that i feel very strongly. i have my views on traditional marriage, which i support, but i respect people who don't agree with me just as i would expect them to respect my opinions. >> eric cantor, good to have you on the program. >> thank you. this morning, investors are showing again how disappointed they are with facebook. the company stock has been falling since its troubled initial public offering two

months ago. >> on thursday, facebook released stronger than expected numbers, but even that did not help. rebecca jarvis has the latest. >> thursday was the first time we heard from ceo mark zuckerberg since the company went public in may. but even surprise comments from the hoodie-wearing boy wonder weren't enough to impress investors. >> hopefully you'll come away from today's call with a clear sense of investments we are making to create value over the long-term by making facebook even more useful for all the people who use our services worldwide. >> facebook shares are plunging. they hit an all-time low this morning and the stock has now lost 1/3 of its value after debuting at $38. at issue is how the company earns money. advertising continues to be its main revenue stream, accounting for 84% of the company's sales. but to what degree those ads are actually paying off for advertisers is unclear. during the earnings call, zuckerberg stressed the importance of making his site easier to access on smartphones.

he said mobile users are 20% more likely to use facebook any given day. and while the company boasts a staggering 955 million active users a month, the rate at which they are adding new users is slowing down. new users and where they live are the lifeline for the young company, and all users are not created equal. in the u.s. and canada, facebook is worth $3.20 per person. in europe, it's less than $1.50. and in asia, just 55 cents. the rest of the world where facebook has the biggest growth potential, just 44 cents per user. analysts say facebook continues to be a highly speculative stock. online discount brokerage justatrade says clients hold it mostly no longer than five days. 40% buy and sell in the same day. >> rebecca, is there some concern in the tech community because of what zynga said and

this report from facebook that there might be declining confidence in the earnings potential of tech companies in general? >> and this was a point, charlie, that you raised with the bouzid redhare reddit ceo y. ask of course these companies are still growing. there is still heavy interest in them. but the question is, is the interest enough to validate the high valuations on the stocks themselves? and can these companies continue to grow at a rate that merits the kind of price that you're paying to own their stocks? gayle. >> might it affect anticipation of some other ipos that may be down the road? >> and that raises another great point, because you have zynga, facebook, group on, and they have lost a great deal of money for shareholders who bought them at the outset. obviously there's a lot of sense in the ipo community and on wall street that maybe it's harder to go public as one of these types of companies. a severe and widespread storm system knocked out power

to hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses overnight. the fast-moving line of storms stretched from texas to connecticut. terrell brown is in brooklyn, new york. good morning. >> reporter: welcome to folks in the west. but here in the east they really got hit by the storm. lightning hit this building, and a 61-year-old man was struck and killed. in manhattan, more dramatic lightning strikes and heavy rain as a line of fast-moving and powerful storms raced across more than half the country. in el myra, new york, trees and power lines are down and this nearby roof was shredded after a possible tornado touched down. a youtube user in rockland county captured an explosion ripping through his backyard when a tree knocked down a high tension power line. the severe weather stretched throughout new york to parts of pennsylvania, connecticut, new jersey, and the ohio river valley.

in cleveland, four workers were hurt when high winds nearly blew them off their scaffolding. at 10 stories in the air, they were forced to smash the building's windows to get to safety. one inch of hail was reported, and streets are flooded in cleveland and akron, ohio. thursday's storms are strikingly similar to the ones that battered the midwest and mid-atlantic last month. at the height of yesterday's storms, more than 200,000 customers in three states were without power. and it's not just power outages but airline travel that's also a concern and an issue. there are reports that more than 800 flights were cancelled yesterday, and more severe weather is in the forecast today. charlie, gayle? >> just what we need. thank you, terrell brown. the rain that fell last night won't help the drought much. the government says the drought is suddenly getting much worse. look at how much the conditions changed this week alone. the area in the extreme or exceptional drought grew from 13% of the country to now 20%. syria's largest city,

aleppo, is under siege this morning. government forces resumed their attack on rebel held areas in the city. u.s. officials fear a possible civilian massacre there. state department sources also tell correspondent margaret brennan that syria's regime is literally running out of guns and cash. it can't find anyone to print money. and iran, its main weapons supplier, is having trouble sending arms. clarissa ward, one of the few reporters inside syria, met with rebel fighters south of aleppo and filed this report. >> reporter: one village at a time, using light weapons and homemade bombs, these fighters who call themselves the sham falcons have accomplished something very significant. they pushed government forces back and carved out an area of rebel control in the hills. their leader is an islamic scholar. thanks to god, he said, we currently have between 6,000 and 7,000 fighters. it has not been easy.

the stark landscape is pock marked with the scars of heavy fighting. but there are no, s syrian army members left in this area. it is known as free syria. they fought inch-by-inch to hold the territory using rocket-propelled grenades to stop heavily armored vehicles. but now they want to take their battle forward. the regime tried to send its 1/3 managed to reach it, he said. yesterday alone, we destroyed more than 30 armored vehicles. since the beginning of the uprising, the government has cast the revolution's religious extremists as terrorists, a charge that this devout muslim who studied in saudi arabia denies. our only ambition is to create a state of justice and rights, he said. these rebels still have a long way to go. the syrian military is throwing everything it has at the battle in aleppo, and it is sure to be

a long and bloody fight. for "cbs this morning," i'm clarissa ward in nowhere syria. now it's time to show you some of the morning's headlines.

>> i'll pass. one of the main mysteries in the penn state sexual abuse scandal may be solved this morning. who was that boy that jerry sandusky attacked in a locker room shower in front of an eyewitness? >> according to lawyers, that man is now ready to step forward. armen keteyian has been covering the story since it began. good morning. >> reporter: during jerry sandusky's trial, victim number two never appeared on the witness stand. he was never named, sought by the school, or interviewed by investigators. but now he is speaking through lawyers who say they have proof he was molested for years by sandusky. from the moment the sandusky scandal broke last november, one of the biggest unanswered questions was the identity of so-called victim number two, the young boy at the center of the only independent eyewitness account of severe sexual assault by sandusky. that account came from former penn state coach mike mcqueary, who testified that in february 2001, he heard rhythmic slapping

sounds coming from the football facility shower and saw jerry directly behind the boy in a very sexual position. i believe jerry was sexually molesting him. but the boy remained a mystery, known only to sandusky until now. yesterday a team of four attorneys announced the boy turned man has stepped out of the shadows and intends to file a civil lawsuit against penn state and others. in a statement, a philadelphia law firm said, our client suffered extensive sexual abuse over many years, both before and after the 2001 incident. and that sandusky was attempting to exert control over our client, even as his arrest for child sexual abuse became imminent. >> i would be very firm and express my feelings, up front. >> as proof, they released two voicemails they claim left by sandusky about three weeks before he was indicted on more than four dozen counts related to child sexual abuse.

the first, september 12, 2011. >> but, you know, there is nothing really to hide, so -- if you want, give me a call. all right. take care. love you. >> the second, seven days later. >> i was just calling to see -- i didn't know whether you had any interest in going to the penn state game this saturday. and when you get this message, give me a call. and i'll just talk to you later. thanks. i love you. >> in june, sandusky was convicted of 45 counts of criminal sexual abuse thanks to the powerful testimony of many of his victims. four of those counts, including indecent sexual assault, were tied to one who never spoke. one it appears now ready to have his say. yesterday in a brief interview with a local newspaper, sandusky's wife, dotty, was still standing by her man. she told a reporter that she loved her husband, and that, quote, he's not who they say he is. charlie? >> i know. i'm still thrown by listening to the tapes.

but let's talk about penn state today. recently i saw several football players saying i'm staying, we're not going. what is coach o'brian doing now? >> well, he is the former coach from the new england patriots. and i spoke to [ bell ringingbelill belichick yesterday, and he said the best thing they have going is o'brian. and he is basically trying on keep his team together in the face of college free agency. there have been coaches already, the university of illinois in the parking lot trying to talk to the players. other coaches are circling around in this moment. and one of the best players, his best player, silas redd, actually met for three hours yesterday reportedly with lane kiffin, the coach of usc, who is on probation now as well. he was their best running back and i'd say he will probably end up somewhere else, and you can't

fault these kids. they are caught in aery difficult situation. this morning, a fast food chain is facing a culture war over same-sex marriage. >> as dean reynolds reports, the company's boss has angered gay rights advocates, some politicians, and even the muppets. >> reporter: at chick fil-fil-c they offer up nuggets, but to some a side order of bigotry, all because of dan cathy. >> i think we are inviting god's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say we know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage. >> reporter: he adds that his company is very much supporting of the family, the biblical definition of the family unit. within days, the internet was on fire with criticism. some stores were picketed. the henson company pulled its muppets out of a marketing deal with the company, and the mayors

of boston and chicago sounded off. >> what the ceo has said as it relates to gay marriage and gay couples is not what i believe. but it's more importantly not what the people of the city of chicago believe. >> reporter: chick-fil-a has 1,600 locations in 39 states and washington, d.c., and had more than $4 billion in sales last year. chicago has one chick-fil-a franchise, and plans were afoot to build a second. but city aldermen joe marino says they can forget about getting a permit. >> i'm not going to sit on the sidelines and allow them to come in when i know in my heart that they believe in discriminating against gay people. >> reporter: the franchise owner of the lone chick-fil-a in chicago said, hold on. her store welcomes everyone, and has gay employees. >> we are welcoming to any sort of lifestyles, belief, any way that you want to -- what you want to believe in, what you do. you know, to me, it really doesn't matter. >> reporter: political conservatives have rallied to the chain's side.

mike huckabee and rick santorum are urging everyone to patronize their local chick-fil-a next wednesday. and still others wonder whether free speech is at issue here. and whether it's fair to consider action against a company because of the personal beliefs of its boss. for "cbs this morning," dean reynolds, chicago. a dangerous hepatitis c outbreak is being traced on one man who worked in hospitals all over the country. we'll look at the search for his alleged victims on "cbs this morning."

in june of 2010. he was last employed as a lab technician at exter hospital in new hampshire, where authorities say he stole a powerful painkiller and also exposed patients to the virus. it's called drug diversion. he stole narcotics intended for a patient, and injected himself with it, contaminating the syringe. he then refilled the syringe with a different substance such as saline, which was then injected into the patient, passing on the virus. kwiatkowski's parents told the fbi that he took a lot of prescription drugs. his co-workers were worried about behavior that was unusual. >> observed him sweating, observed him red-faced, bloodshot, and according to one witness unfit to provide medical care. >> reporter: once infected, the hepatitis c virus travels through the blood stream and attacks the liver. the virus continues to

replicate, and can damage or shut down normal liver function. the virus may eventually cause scarring of the liver, called cirrhosis, greatly increasing your risk of developing liver cancer. >> how did it happen? how did they let it happen? >> reporter: kwiatkowsky is currently in custody, accused of acquiring a controlled substance and and tampering with a consumer product. meanwhile, public health officials in eight states are retracing his steps and urging thousands of people to get tested. scrambling to find everyone who may have been infected. for "cbs this morning," michelle miller, new york.

phillips. >> good morning. in today's "healthwatch," women's work woes. having a stressful job puts women at a greater risk for heart problems later this life. in a new study, researchers followed more than 22,000 women whose average age was 57. they categorized them in four job stressed use, from low strain to high strain. gathered heart data for ten years. the determination of strain was based on the amount of the job and the amount of control a worker has over the demands. living with significant job strain were 67% more likely to have a nonfatal heart attack and 40% more likely to have another cardiovascular trauma, such as a stroke than women in the low-strain category. having a high demands job was found to be the most likely predictor of heart problems for women. that differs from previous studies of men which found a lack of control played a larger role in their heart health. the researchers say, while more study is needed, women in high

stress occupations should pay extra attention to lifestyle and take time to destress through activities like yoga, meditation or just making time for yourself. i'm dr. holly phillips. >> cbs "healthwatch" sponsored by ocean spray. tastes good. good for you. are made with sweet cherries and the crisp, clean taste of our cranberries. i cannot tell a lie.

to me. >> he's held up pretty well. >> charlie's held up pretty well. but the thread still runs true with him today, what he was saying back then to what he's saying today. >> first of all, and this is a great profile by my friend, david. but here's the question. you sit there, you're the editor of the magazine, and this is a very hard assignment. somebody's got to do it. >> it's true. hang out with bruce. >> yeah. >> you know, you're going to write about the band. you're going to listen to the concerts. >> hanging out with bruce. once in a while you have to self-assign it to your sweet spot. >> what was it you were looking for? who is it that emerges from this? >> well, i've been fascinated with him most of my life. i went to see him for the first time when i was 14, which i've got to tell you, was a long time. he was a backup band for chicago at madison square garden. he was really striking. and what interested me, charlie, was how do you have a creative career in pop culture for so long when the band starts to get

old, when you change, when people in your band die? and springsteen said, what this is about is the ride, and we're in it for a long ride. and that doesn't normally happen in any art, much less in rock 'n' roll. >> and he is so devoted even today to performing and to giving the audience a really good show. i saw him at the apollo, madison square garden, and he's on stage for hours and hours. and one of my favorite things in your article where he said his -- the ticket is like a handshake for him. >> yeah, he's going to come out and give it to you. >> he's going to give it to you. >> he has to be the closest thing to james brown that we have in terms of pure, on-stage performing energy. and marry that to the level of the songwriting and also the transparency about who he is and what he's been through, you know. and in this enter ruinterview, about depression. i think the press has gotten ahead of itself in suicidal and

twisting a quote from marsh which was not well intentioned. he looks deep inside himself and talks about the struggle he's been through both in song and in the interviews he's had with you and with me. >> what's interesting to me -- >> unusual. -- >> -- is the evolution. he refuses to be a mercenary of his past. many rock bands are. he continues to evolve as an artist filling one spiral notebook after another with ideas, quotations, questions, clippings and ultimately new songs. >> well, he could fill arenas and just go on playing "born to run" and "thunder road" and "jungle end," and people would be happy. >> we would. >> you'd have a nostalgic trip and you'd feel your new jersey youth bubble up into you again. he's a real artist. he's not a cover band for himself. so the new album "wrecking ball"

is deeply political about the american moment we're in for all its trials and tribulations economically, politically, and it's extremely personal, and it's something new. and to perform that and enter great it with the old stuff and make it seem as part of a whole is what an artist is, a representation of his inner life and outer life. >> he always kicks it up a notch with every album he does. what does he hope people get? what does he want us to get or know? >> i think in terms of the performance, he wants you to leave the arena a little bit more alive. >> yes. >> i mean, look. all of us, even us lucky ones, really lucky ones, have things in our lives that are completely unlucky and hard and dull and dulling and so on. i think the opportunity to spend the night in the presence of a performer like that, not just springsteen, but other people, james brown, whoever it may be, arcade fire, whoever brings you alive and to feel better three

or four hours than you did going in, it's worth the ticket. >> what do you think he sees as his role beyond entertaining? >> i think he takes his writing very seriously. he's not just an entertainer. he's not just, you know, a song and dance man. >> as a what? the wonderful conversation you have, you capture in which someone says to him, you know, you have to speak. >> yeah. you have to be a songwriter for our lives. so at the moment, he's writing about the industrialized towns but not just as a political tribute but what that does to a human being. this is why his father is so important to him. not just because he was a defeated man and a depressed man and a troubled man. but because he couldn't hold a job very well. and his inability to hold a job very well had a terrible effect on the family. and so for bruce, that's not only his father, but the father as a representative person and a very tough time. now. >> david, great to see you. his article is on newsstands,

morning." first lady michelle obama is in london to represent the president at tonight's opening ceremonies. >> she'll attend some of the early events. mark phillips just talked with her in london. mark, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. politicians and politician's spouses often think they're coming here for a holiday, but they can be political minefields as well. romney certainly found that when he questioned london's readiness to hold the game and got a bit of a wrist slap by local politicians. this is michelle obama's first olympics, but she's been around international events long enough to know a loaded question when she hears one. >> i'm amazed to hear that you actually haven't been to one of these games before. >> my first in-person olympics which is why i'm like a wide-eyed kid. this is pretty amazing for me personally. you know, i think anyone would be awed. i don't care how many times you've been to the olympics. you don't get over it. >> reporter: it's a special thing. and once again this time it's

proving to be more than about sport. some american politicians and perhaps their wives. how do you think the preparations have gone so far? >> oh, my goodness. you know, the united kingdom, they've had a phenomenal year. they've pulled off, you know, a major wedding, a diamond jubilee and now the olympics. they know what they're doing. so we're just excited to be here. and i am just honored to be able to represent the united states. truly, that's what this is all about. it's about these athletes and the stories that they tell, the inspiration that they transmit to the rest of the world, particularly kids in our country. >> how are they inspiring? in the old days, it was a big national competition, of course, the old cold war days. the russians, how many did they get and how many did we get? s it still about that? >> i think it's about the athleticism because i think we've learned to appreciate all of the winners and what they've

accomplished. but, you know, i think for the usa, we want to bring home the gold. we want to, you know, people are still counting up medals. >> reporter: you never get away from that. >> you never get away from that. but in the end, i think the coverage of olympics has really expanded what it means because you get into the stories of the athletes. and you see that many of them have come from communities, faced challenges that many of us assume these young people don't face. and i think that that's where the inspiration comes in. you find out what's behind all of that skill and what it takes to get where they are. >> reporter: do you see them as the old expression role models and the work that you do, the children work that you do? >> absolutely. >> reporter: people like this matter? >> absolutely. i mean, kids, you know, they want to mimic who they see. and the olympics is one of those unique times where kids across the country, they're going to be focused in on some of the best trained men and women. and it may be just the thing

that inspires a kid to get off the couch, maybe not be an olympic athlete, but just play a little bit. try to throw a ball. it may inspire a family to say hey, let's try fencing, you know? so these are the times when everyone is watching. and the messages that we can deliver are so powerful. and i don't think that's lost on these athletes either. >> reporter: what's the message? get off the couch? >> the message is, we have an obligation to make sure that our kids grow up healthy and well fed with all the opportunities that they deserve. and that means they have to be active. they have to eat right. and they have to -- we have to find a way to make it fun for them and give families and communities the opportunity to explore those possibilities. >> reporter: do you think it's also -- is it a good idea or would it be a good idea for the united states to bid again for the games? as you know, new york bid for these games and didn't get it. chicago bid for the next games. >> i participated in that bid.

>> reporter: is it still valued for places like new york, chicago, wherever to hold them? >> the olympics is the olympics. i mean, it's a pretty symbolic coup for many countries. i think there are many cities in the united states that would be great host cities. and if it makes sense for them, i think yes, absolutely, they should go for it. >> reporter: a lot of cities are facing pretty hard financial times right now. given that, does it still make sense to spend this kind of money bidding and the billions that it takes to actually put them on? >> i think each city has to look at it case by case. one of the things that the uk has been able to do is do a lot of repurposing. this facility we're in right now i understand is going to be left for one of the local colleges. so this has been an important redevelopment effort for many areas. you know, i think there are ways for cities to look at this as an opportunity for redevelopment. i know that chicago's bid viewed

it as that. as an opportunity to bring jobs, to bring tourism and to be smart about how you build stadiums so that you're not leaving -- you know, you're leaving something behind that the community is going to actually use. >> reporter: is this a focus for a lot of the work you've been trying to do healthwise, et cetera? >> this is one of those rare pinnacle moments where it all comes together and makes sense to people. so i think that it will provide an opportunity for kids while they're watching, right, because many kids are going -- they're going to be glued to the tvs. >> reporter: you don't want them there. you want them outside. >> watch a little bit, then go outside and run around. and we're trying to show kids that it's not about being an olympian. it's about moving and having fun, too. so that's one of the things i'm going to be doing this afternoon. >> reporter: have a great time. thank you very much. >> thank you so much. thank you. >> reporter: and michelle obama will be having fun here until

sunday. she says she's going to take in some of the games, particularly the swimming and the basketball before heading home. >> hey, mark phillips, i have a little mark envy this morning because i've never been to an olympics either. it's on my bucket list. and you got to spend a lot of time in a very loud area there today. >> reporter: yes. it is very loud. that was the fencing practice going on behind the first lady. and a lot of noise associated with these games. there will be a lot of noise here of course tonight when the opening ceremonies take place and very much, you know, the reputation of the city and the country on the line. a lot of people very nervous to see how it will all go. >> i was wondering, what do you think is at stake tonight because it's been a little bumps leading up to the olympics. what's at stake for the city? >> reporter: there are always these kinds of things. london is a big place with a vast transportation network. some of it's not going to work. they hope it works tonight, of course. but they say they're trying to portray themselves to the world the way they see themselves now. the ceremony supposed to be a little quirky, we're told. we'll all have to wait and see

just what it is they think they are. >> mark, i was going to ask you, what's the great expectation coming up for the ceremony, but as you just said, they're expecting something -- how would you characterize it? >> reporter: quirky. bonkers, some have said. we'll have to see. you know, all these olympic cities try to do something grand. beijing, i guess, was china's coming-of-age, that kind of thing. the brits will do a brit thing, i'm sure. >> thank you so much. good to see you and wonderful conversation with the first lady. politics has been good to will ferrell. he poked fun at president bush for years. this morning we'll ask him about playing a congressman who is de

♪ i'm gonna find my baby ♪ gonna hold her tight ♪ gonna grab some afternoon delight ♪ will ferrell is no stranger to political humor. in his new movie, "the

>> the character you play, he believes in? >> he believes in america, jesus. >> for freedom. >> and for that reason, he's been elected and re-elected. >> he's running for his fifth term. there's rumors that he's being considered for vice president nomination, which is all that he aspires to be. and his wife wants to be second lady because he's figured out you don't have to do too much as vice president. yeah. >> and so along comes -- >> mr. marty huggins. >> mr. marty huggins. >> who is kind of the outside-the-beltway kind of guy. i have a lapse in moral judgment. and there's an opening. >> yes. you say something. >> yes. i leave a salacious voice mail on an unsuspecting family. >> not good. >> recording machine, yeah, answering machine. and enter in zach's character,

and let the gamesbegin. >> and let the games begin. >> yeah. >> put it together. >> right. >> is there any qualities that i can look at in ron burgundy? >> right. >> the anchorman. >> uh-huh. >> and find in cam brady? >> i mean, i think -- you know, cam brady is the type of guy who can give a great speech. but he, for the most part, doesn't know what he's talking about, which is very similar to mr. ron burgundy. ron burgundy is the master at looking like he knew what he was talking about. >> does this movie have a message? >> you know, it's hopefully just a funny movie, first and foremost. >> you want to entertain. >> we want to entertain. we kind of want to -- you know, there's been so much material in politics over the last couple of years that we were able to have fun with that. at the same time, we're kind of pointing out just all the money that's flooding into these campaigns at unprecedented
