quinnipiac university/cbs news/"new york times" poll has a fresh batch of numbers this morning from three key states. in colorado, governor mitt romney leads president obama by five points. however, the president leads by six points in wisconsin, and in virginia mr. obama has a four-point edge. jan crawford is in arlington, virginia, this morning and joins us with the latest. good morning to you, jan. >> reporter: well, good morning gayle and charlie and good morning to everyone in the west. we are as you can see right across the river from washington, d.c. but we may as well be a world away here in virginia. think about this. in 2008, the president carried washington, d.c., by an 86-point spread. 86 points. but here in virginia, he won the state by six points, and our new poll out has romney making inroads into that margin. now what we are seeing is part of the fight for independence, and voters in the key swing states. romney is out with a new line of attack, and he is hitting the president hard on changes to welfare reform.

>> if i'm president, i'll put work back in welfare. >> reporter: campaigning tuesday in the president's home state of illinois, romney went on the attack about a recent and little noticed presidential directive that eased traditional work requirements in the 1996 welfare reform act. the white house says the order gives states flexibility in how they provide welfare to low income residents. but romney and leading republicans said the move was a back doorway of gutting key mandatory work requirements in the welfare law, which was negotiated with broad bipartisan support by speaker newt gingrich and president bill clinton. >> president obama in just the last few days has tried to reverse that accomplishment by taking the work requirement out of welfare. that is wrong. >> reporter: the obama administration typically leaves skirmishing with romney to his campaign office in chicago. but on this issue it fired back from the white house podium. >> from a policy standpoint, let me say that this advertisement

is categorically false, and it is blatantly dishonest. >> reporter: romney's comments are part of a line attack that included a new tv ad airing in key swing states. >> under obama's plan, you wouldn't have to work and wouldn't have to train for a job. >> reporter: president clinton released a statement late last night saying the romney ad is especially disappointing because as governor of massachusetts he requested changes in the welfare reform laws that could have eliminated time limits altogether. romney's message is part of a broader theme that the campaign will be hitting hard in coming weeks, arguing that president obama is in fact changing america by making more people depend on big government to take care of them, while hard-working taxpayers foot the bill. now in a campaign that's already tinged with class warfare and attacks on romney's wealth, there could be a potent countermessage with independents and swing state voters. the president is fighting back hard. romney is doubling down, out

with a new ad featuring bill clinton. >> jan crawford, thank you. bob sheaver is now joining us here this morning in studio 57. welcome. it's getting hotter out there, isn't it? >> well, you see with this new ad where mitt romney is going here. i mean, if you look at these new battle ground polls that are out, he does best with white working class men. and this is aimed directly at that group. but i think it's quite interesting how vehemently both the white house and bill clinton are denying this. and bill clinton is pointing out that, you know, it was republican governors who were asking for these waivers. and he points out that when this welfare law went into effect, mitt romney himself as governor asked for some waivers in order to make adjustments in the work requirements. >> does the ve hemmence suggest

that they know obama and former president clinton, it has a resonance? >> well, what they know is that of mitt romney is not going to do as well among women, according to these latest polls. he's not going to do well among minorities according to these latest polls. and he has got to do at least as well as john mccain did among white working class men, which is about where he is right now. they're trying to get more of those folks. so that's where this is. i don't know how long this lasts. but that's clearly what the aim is. >> and the fact that the romney campaign is outearning the obama campaign in fundraising. should the president be concerned at this point? >> how many more ads can he run? >> i don't know. i really don't know. >> those of us down in washington, we didn't know about this. washington is generally ignored, you know, in a campaign year because there's nothing at stake. now that virginia has been such a key battle ground state, we

can truly share the pain of people in the battle ground states. you hear these ads morning, noon, nighttime too. even some of the obama people are saying to me the other day, and you hear it on the other side, how many of these ads there are. >> enough, enough. what are you hearing, bob, from your sources about when mitt romney will make his decision >> i think it's going to be pretty quick. maybe -- i don't think this weekend, but i think we have to be on the alert for that. i think it's going to come in the next week or so. they want to get this out before the conventions come about, because these two conventions come so close, one on the heels of the other. they want to kind of get the bump that you get from that before they go into their convention. i think that we all have to be very, very cautious -- you know, be watching carefully now because i think it's going to come pretty quick. >> two things. one, there's a direct report about david petraeus being on romney's wish list. do you think that has substance?

>> the only place that i have heard that and heard anybody talk about it seriously is on the drudge report. i have not heard that from anybody close to either one of these campaigns. you know, so tomorrow he'll announce it's david petraeus. but i don't think so. >> they're doing very well at not leaking this, aren't they? >> yes. i truly think -- i was out at the romney headquarter a couple of weeks ago, and i came away convinced then that nobody but beth myers, who is running the search and his closest aide really knows that. mrs. romney might have an idea. >> finally, this. the significance of are you better off four years -- are you better off after four years of oama than you were is a significant successful campaign tool of ronald reagan. will it be successful for mitt romney? >> well, he's going to certainly ask the question. i mean, that's going to be --

that is one of the great lines in american politics. and you're right, charlie. it was ronald reagan who asked that simple question, and it worked for him. i think you're going to hear mitt romney talk about that a lot, yeah. >> all right. bob schieffer, always great to see you at the table. >> great to see you. today at the olympics, there's going to be an all-american final in women's beach volleyball. and last night, the captain of the u.s. women's gymnastics team finished the games with a gold and a bronze. so here is a look at the medal count this morning. china leads with 73 medals overall. that includes 34 gold. the u.s. now has 71 medals, including 30 gold, after winning a bronze in women's boxing this morning. hurray for us. britain and russia are tied for third, followed by germany. bigad shaban is covering the olympics. >> reporter: the women are coming off a series of wins and gearing up for potentially some

more today. gymnast aly raisman won the gold for her floor exercise, but the medal she almost didn't win is all the talk here in london. it was a delicate balancing act for u.s. gymnast aly raisman and her coach. they had to decide to appeal the judge's scores that placed raisman in fourth in the balance beam. their challenge won. >> yes! >> reporter: and raisman took the bronze medal away from a romanian gymnast. 16-year-old gabby douglas came in seventh after starting the games as the newen girl of gymnastics. she fell off the beam. and track star san ja richards ross is looking for a second medal as she races for gold later today. >> i have been preparing for this mentally and physically leading up to the games. i just keep thinking this is your first race in. have fun. and i'm doing that. i'm just really happy. >> reporter: in the 100 meter

hurdles, lolo jones was a 10th of a second too late to grab her first olympic medal. she came in fourth. australia took gold, and america's dawn harper won silver. >> to make history, it was great. when that gun went off, it was like, lord, i'm running for my life. >> and it's over! >> in women's beach volleyball, team usa is guaranteed gold and silver, even before the first serve in the finals. april ross and jennifer kesse are set to compete against fellow americans and two-time defending olympic champions kerry walsh and misty may trainor. >> for once in my life, i think i'm speechless. and the undisputed king of the track usain bolt is hoping to defend a title of his own. he runs in the men's 200 semifinals tonight after winning gold in beijing. but the joy of winning was perhaps no greater than on the face of germany's robert harting.

he ripped off his shirt, flexed his muscles, and took a jog on the course for the women's 100 meter hurdles. >> i saw. that that's happiness. jared loughner will avoid the death penalty after a plea deal in the tucson shooting rampage that killed six and wounded former congresswoman gabby giffords. he pled guilty tuesday to 19 counts after a judge determined that he did understand the charges against him. the agreement calls for seven consecutive life terms followed by 140 years in prison with no chance at parole. >> this morning, rebel fighters in aleppo, syria, have been forced to retreat from at least one frontline position. after days of aerial bombardment, there are reports that syrian army troops have launched a ground offensive. meanwhile, syria's president has surfaced again to rally support. holy williams filed this report from the border of syria and turkey. >> reporter: we caught our first glimpse of president bashir al assad in more than two weeks. his absence had led some people to believe that the syrian regime was on the brink of

collapse. but now mr. assad has appeared on state television and certainly didn't look like a dictator on his last legs. there were rumors that assad had fled or even died. but this meeting with iran's security chief showed the president very much alive, and getting a show of support from syria's most important ally. there's no sign that mr. assad is giving up the fight against the opposition. government forces are battling to drive rebels out of aleppo, syria's biggest city. both sides say aleppo's fate will be decided in this deadly struggle for control of the country. the regime has attacked rebel positions with artillery and from above with warplanes and helicopter gunships. the cost of the fighting is staggering, with thousands of lives already lost and more syrians dying every day. many of them civilians who have seen their towns and cities turned into war zones.

syria's former prime minister, who defected this week, has appeared on television. he has described the government as a terrorist regime. there are many other syrians who agree with him. there's no end in sight to the bloodshed, and many predict it will only get worse. the iranian government says this is not just an internal conflict but a battle between syria and its allies and other countries. that's presumably a reference to the u.s. and its allies. that raises the specter of iran getting directly involved in this war, and of the fighting spreading beyond syria's borders. for "cbs this morning," holly williams, on the turkey-syria border. a major typhoon blasted shanghai, china, with heavy rain and strong winds this morning forcing the evacuation of nearly 2 million people. as barry peterson reports, the typhoon is the third big storm to hit china in less than a week. >> reporter: as the typhoon with 70 mile an hour winds slammed

into one of the most populace parts of china, a local news reporter tried to stay. but the wind is too heavy, she finally said. and across the rest of the area, most joined the desperate rush to run as nearly 2 million people fled inland. said this evacuee, it's much safer here. it's dangerous at our house. shanghai was isolated most of the day. no ships allowed in or out. its two major airports shut down. and local businesses ordered to close. but not all commerce stopped. the shanghai stock market kept running, and actually ended the day slightly up. this has been a week of life and death rescues as three typhoons roared across asia. in taiwan, a sink hole from days of rain swallowed up one man. emergency responders were able to reach him. and when a second sink hole collapsed, a reporter on the scene narrowly missed being another casualty. in manila and surrounding areas, 12 days of rain chased more than

700,000 people out of their homes. water in some place were 10 feet deep. all this made worse when reservoirs and rivers overflowed. hard-hit countries across the region are only now assessing the damage. early estimates are $1 billion and counting. for "cbs this morning," barry peterson, beijing. this morning, nasa's curiosity rover is sending back the first video of its landing on mars. it confirms sunday night's touchdown was nearly perfect. it's also beaming down the first color images showing the crater where it landed. the first mission is to collect samples from the crater looking for any signs of life. time now for headlines from around the globe. australia's sydney morning herald reports a six-member team is racing to antarctica to help with a medical emergency at the american base there. it's winter there so it's harsh conditions. it's unclear what the medical

it's playing on fears stirred by that shooting and stirring the debate over privacy in the digital age. the new york city police department boosted security outside a broadway theater after profanity laden threats on twitter were made last week. one read, i'm serious. people are going to die like aurora. referring to the movie theater massacre that killed 12 and wounded 58. another tweet included mention of a hit list and killing a lot of people. the nypd requested information about the twitter account holder. but was denied. in a statement they added, we sought a subpoena to force twitter to disclose the identity of the account holder. >> they want to cooperate with law enforcement. but they have to make sure that they're respecting their user's privacy as well. >> couldn't waiting for that subpoena mean the difference between life and death? >> absolutely. they won't wait for the court order if they have a good faith

belief that someone's life is in danger. >> larry cunningham a former new york city prosecutor. >> they're really between a rock and a hard place. >> he subpoenaed social media companies in the past. >> what could be nypd in this case learn from twitter? >> want to know who registered it, when, where were they when they registered it, what was the ip address, what's their e-mail address. >> how much do we know about this account holder? >> yes, exactly. >> twitter reports that it complies with 75% of requests made by law enforcement in the u.s. without a subpoena. the company determined this case didn't warrant disclosing private user information to police without a court order. twitter directed us to its guidelines for law enforcement which reads, "if we receive information that there's an emergency involving the death or serious physical injury to a person, we may provide information necessary to prevent that harm."

this isn't the first time twitter has faced off with the nypd. in july, the site would not hand over posts made by occupy wall street protesters until a judge ordered it to do so. twitter has appealed that ruling. >> the first thing that protects us in speaking anonymously. but the first amendment does not protect screaming fire in a crowded theater. >> joel reidenberg is an expert at criminal law at forest university. >> now people engage in their communication with their close friends by tweets. now the whole world sees it. all of a sudden, something that in the past might have been a private conversation is now public conversation. >> we're, in essence, online using a megaphone. >> absolutely. >> late yesterday twitter complied with a subpoena turning over to police the private information of the user making threats against the theater in

manhattan. >> cbs news legal correspondent jack ford is here. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> help me understand this. because when should be the guidelines for deciding when you handed over and when you don't and why do you think twitter made this early decision in this case? >> to answer the first part, there's attention. sometimes an outright conflict between first amendment rights and security concerns. in terms of our first amendment, the genius of our system and what distinguishes us from other societies but it's not limitless. there are restrictions on it. we heard before a few moments ago, if you give a threat, if i say something that's a real and specific and imminent threat, i'm not protected by the first amendment. that's sort of the standard that we're using here. in a situation such as this, a court would look at it and say, all right, we understand that twitter wants to protect privacy

rights and these companies have to. they don't want to be seen as rolling over every time they say my husband might be having an affair, i want to see his twitter account. but there has to be a line where they say now we recognize this. that comment can be a criminal act. >> i understand that. where is the line? where ought the line be in. >> the line is not a precise one. the supreme court has said we're going to put limits on it. but we're going to let judges decide on a case by case basis. they're only reluctant to say here's the line because the line that they drew 20 years would not have anticipated twitter. and how do we adjust that. >> the standard is basically if it's a real threat, precise threat or imminent threat -- >> back to the question, what is a real threat? >> didn't it seem immediate, specific and real? that's what i'm thinking. >> at the time i'm advising twitter, i would say this looks like a real threat. >> it's not somebody saying, i'm going to get a ray gun, someday,

sometime someplace i might harm somebody. it's not imminent or specific. using a standard for this. we were talking about this before. i was surprised that twitter would not have turned this over, if for no other reason to protect themselves. >> if something had happened and twitter had not handed over the information, would they have been held liable? >> i'm certain fortunately it didn't happen, but if there had been a shooting in this theater, i'm sure lawyers would have been looking to them saying you were neglect. you could have helped us to prevent this. whether they would have been responsible or not is a different story. but i'm sure people would have been targeting them for some sort of civil responsibility if, god forbid, something had happened here. >> seth, any understanding why twitter refused to turn it over? >> no. we don't know what the discussions are like. all we can do is imagine that. they have access to an awful lot of information. they would have gone through this user's history and tried to

determine if this threat seemed real. we all have that on our facebook pages. when someone tends to say something and you ignore it or not. >> as you said, in 75% of the cases, they have in fact made a decision to turn over. >> without a court order. >> without a court order. >> thank you, seth. good to see you, charlie. it's happened before and it's happening again. some olympic athletes in london apparently have defected and are asking for political asylum. we'll have the story of that high stakes gamble on "cbs this morning" coming up. don't cry milk, i miss them too.

♪ i remember when rock was young, me and susie had so much fun ♪ ♪ holding hands and sitting in the stone ♪ it is 8:00. welcome back to "cbs this morning." i'm gayle king. >> and i'm charlie rose. one of the most talked about new tech companies in america is starting a partnership with one of the world's best known coffee companies and the two men in charge are speaking about it first on "cbs this morning." howard schultz, ceo of starbucks and co-founder of square are with us now here in studio 57. welcome. >> thank you. >> let me see if i understand this deal. you have made a deal with him so that square's device can be used to buy coffee in star buck's stores. you have invested $25 million in the company and you're going to

join the board. what else is there to know? >> i'll start. so we started a partnership so that square could carry all of star buck's in store payments including their mobile app payments and pay with square can be used, which is our application in every starbucks star in the united states which is an amazing start and really shows a commitment to the future of payments which starbucks has led to many degrees. >> why did you do this? >> over the last year and a half we've already processed 60 million mobile transactions at starbucks. the consumer is going through a seismic change in which cash is over time going to be obsolete. as a result of this partnership we enhance the customer experience and the other issue, i think, is we have an opportunity through the tools and resources that jack has created with square to open this up to small businesses across the country, including jobs. >> so how did you two get together? i mean, jack, did you call howard? howard, did you call jack and say, you know, i was thinking? where did this come from? >> the truth of the matter is

that every tech company over the last year or so has been chasing down starbucks to try to build an alliance on mobile technology. we met them and then i decided, i have to call jack. i called jack, met him, met square, and overnight realized he was at the cutting edge of this technology and this was a marriage made in heaven. >> and starbucks is always someone that we've admired as a company and we've admired howard's leadership because they put the customer first, the experience first and really craft that experience. that's what matters in retail. that's what we want to build the technology around. >> so this is an acceleration of a cashless society as you said. >> yes. >> and then your competition here, you're out front in this thing. tell us exactly how it works. you have a mobile device. you walk into a coffee -- into a starbucks or other stores now. >> in this particular case what you can do is take your phone with you. there's an application called pay with square. you can open it up and you can actually show the counter the bar code scanner at the counter.

that application charges your credit card on file. you can also, of course, use your credit card at any point or you can use the starbucks mobile application to pay. so very similar experience to what starbucks customers are used to right now, but we're adding the ability to accept pay with square within the store as well. >> this is a guy who gets lots of attention in silicon valley, howard. you have a lot of respect for him and, therefore, you make an investment in joining the board. there's also talks about talks between twitter where you're chairman and apple. can you help us understand what's going on? >> no. i mean, there's always rumors of conversations that happen constantly in silicon valley, but a lot of them are purely rumors. you know, it's easy to get distracted by the rumors. we like to focus on building really great products, and that's what we're doing. >> twitter will stay independent? >> yes. >> you're not looking for a merger with anybody else? >> you made news. >> that's what i'm looking for, howard, by the way. >> that would be good, jack.

>> we've also been talking about this whole question about having a twitter account. give us a sense of how twitter faces an issue like this. >> i don't know the specific case. i haven't been briefed on it. we always comply with local laws, and we also have to balance that with defending our users' voice which we believe in. >> how do you make the balance? >> it's really dependent on the court case and the local municipality and what they're doing. so it's always a fine balance. it's always up to those locals. >> with the power of social media increasing this will be an increasing conflict, is it not? >> i don't know. i mean, you see twitter's naturally public. you see the conversation happening in the open. you see it happening in the public sphere so everyone can engage in that conversation just like anyone else. >> you know when we talk about twitter, jack, as you know it's in the news every day, sometimes not so good. people have lost their jobs because of what they wrote on twitter. athletes were sent home because of what they wrote on twitter.

when you first started the company what were you hoping it would accomplish? how it would be used? >> it was a very simple idea, which was that anyone could share what was happening around them and anyone else in the world could see them. it's remained that simple of an idea. it's remained that powerful of than a de. anyone in the middle of baghdad, iraq, can be in a global conversation just like anyone in the united states. we've definitely achieved that. you see life in front of you. you see the pulse of the planet right now. >> in real time. >> in real time. >> but when you see how it's used in other ways, is it frustrating to you, upsetting? what do you make of that? >> no, this is how the world wants to use it. it speaks to the power of it as a utility. just like any other utility, you plug in electric guitar to an outlet, you plug in a microwave and you can use it in very, very different ways. >> howard, you have shown enormous social responsibility in terms of your public campaign to change the dialogue and also

to change the sense of dysfunction in washington. are you more optimistic or more pessimistic today? >> nothing would please me more than to be able to say i'm more optimistic, but it's hard to be more optimistic when you think that $6.5 billion is going to be spent between now and november on the presidential election cycle. we've got 14 million people unemployed. housing crisis continues. the debt ceiling debacle is going to be with us again and i think the country is so hungry for authentic, genuine leadership on both sides, and until we see that, i think it's hard to be optimistic. i'm optimistic about the country, i'm optimistic about the american people. >> you're not optimistic about the leadership? >> no, i'm not. >> what was the reaction you got to your open letter? we need to do something ourselves about job creation? what reaction did you get? >> we've raised millions of dollars. we put that money to work.

we've been able to create thousands of jobs and i think people are kind of clinging onto the fact that washington is not doing much and companies have a bigger responsibility today than they had before because i think the rules of engagement have changed where corporate ceos and businesses have to step up and do more for the communities we serve. i think starbucks, as well as other companies, have gotten a good feeling from our customers as a result of that. >> how do you feel about starbucks? you came back and there was great enthusiasm when you took over the ceo. there may have been fluctuation in the stock prices. what's it about? >> i think the burden on the u.s. consumer is not just the burden on the european consumer, that there's a lot of pressure. i think we're seeing that. i think our business remains quite robust. >> do you think the market reflects your own sense of the potential of the company? >> you know, i think we've

always taken the long term. i think we've taken a short-term hit. we'll be fine. >> sorry. >> go ahead. i was going to switch back to jack. just in silicon valley, people talk about you. >> oh, no. >> here's a company that was started in 2009, square. market valuation after this investment -- not market valuation, but the evaluation based on this investment is 3 point what billion? >> we're not disclosing any numbers. >> it's over $3 billion clearly. in three years you've created a company with a valuation of $3 billion. what is it that you know? >> it's just amazing how technology has accelerated. anyone can start a company or business and achieve a global scale pretty quickly. it's accelerating even faster for most folks. i think there's definitely a lot of interest in something like this, and this being in the world. and we've just been able to be very agile and move very, very quickly. >> so twitter and other things

and then square, so where are you looking now? i mean, where is your fascination? >> my fascination has always been simplifying complexities. always removing a lot of complexity from the world. communication was one big part. twitter simplifies communication significantly. and with square we're trying to do the same with payment. this is a basic exchange value that's been with us for over 5,000 years as a civilization but always gets in the way and feels like a burden. >> thank you. great to see you. >> whatever you're drinking, i want some of that. >> starbucks. >> yeah, starbucks. white hot

♪ >> welcome back to cbs this morning. on tuesday, we showed you our extended conversation with the king of jordan focusing on the violence in syria and other issues in the middle east. this morning, we want to share some of the other things we saw in jordan and some of the thoughts i've had in the days since we returned. >> this region is stained with the blood of war and yet, in its children is the hope of peace. kings and presidents and prime ministers decide on war for good and bad reasons. war is fight and die and the

innocent suffer. so after my conversation with the king i boarded one of his helicopters to take a close-up look at a price of war. displaced people, homeless and unknowing of their future. fleeing the onslaught of guns and violence and approaching armies. we went to a refugee camp near the syrian border inside jordan. there before us, miles and miles of tents bolted to this dusty, windy land containing families or half of families, fleeing war and seeking shelter, medicine, food and water and also safety if there is any. >> in leaving behind their fathers and brothers and sisters who fight for a better life for which so many of us take for granted or for values like freedom that have always driven us to war. inside and out, the men and women and especially the children who are the innocents.

their faces and the faces of the caring mothers who are their protectors carry the anxiety and fear and they worry about those left behind still in harm's way. you wonder what they wonder as they go about their curiosity and their gain. playing as if they have no worries. sometimes shouting freedom forever, whether you like it or not assad. their eyes are a moment bright with none of attrition of war and much of the fun of young. so we asked them. why did you come? how long can you stay here? did you think about fighting? >> the answers angry and scared. some ask you not to show their faces. they fear what will happen to their loved ones left behind. on one tent a political message. >> so the kids here wrote this

and it's intended for whom? >> for russia, iran, china and hezbollah. >> it says, the day will come when you will pay back the blood of our martyrs will not go in vain. each of you contributed to shedding the blood of our innocent children. so we leave going back to our security and comfort. two things they don't know when and where will come. all wars end one day or the other when the politicians and generals decide they have had enough or they die. these people here, like refugees throughout the history of war, did not choose to be here. they are not warriors. but war has come to them. and they had no choice but to leave everything behind. for a future they know not what. bonded by one thought, to live another day.

>> it's the wind and the heat that i can't get over and what really surprised me in that piece, charlie, was to see a swing set in the middle of that. children's laughter is so universal. but to see them swinging and still happy under those circumstances is always amazing to me. >> you'll never forget. people who have done this much more than i have always say this. you never forget the faces of these people. but you're right, the kids have not felt the attrition of the living and so, therefore, their pull of often enthusiasm and yet at the same time, there's something about them looking for comfort too. >> yet, the people there still seem to have hope even in those circumstances they have hope. >> yeah. >> nicely done. nice to see. when we come back, steve carell, sorry, steve, one of the funniest guys around even though he doesn't call himself a comedian he says. this morning, he'll tell us about giving marital advice to

meryl streep and tommy lee jones. it,,

by taking time to yourselves, you're able to better as a couple and you both did it without even trying. >> but you know it was nice, wasn't it? >> do something on your own. >> i'm thrilled with the progress that you've made and i think it's going to make it that much easier to proceed to the next step. >> next step? that's great. let's get with it. we're doing so well, we might get out of here early. next step, what is it, write a poem, hold hands in public. sing a serenade. >> sex. >> maybe we should get our things and go. >> i love that. just get our things and get out of here. steve carell is a therapist helping, listen to this, meryl streep and tommy lee jones, spice up their marriage in the new movie called "hope springs" and guess what, mr. therapist is here. >> i'm changing my name to mr. therapist. >> let me say, you do it very,

very well. >> thanks. how does that make you feel? >> it makes me feel okay, steve as someone who has been to five marital therapists who sits here divorced. i know a good one when i see one. you were good. >> i appreciate that. >> where did it come from when you were able to play this one? when i heard steve carell, it's going to be funny, always a comedian. it was none of those things. >> yeah. well, i didn't -- i read the script and it didn't seem like it was supposed to be any of those things. in those scenes that i do, it's even weird to say meryl, tommy lee. but in those scenes, it's really about them. it's about -- as it would be in a therapy session. it's about those people. it's not about my character. it's just a sounding board there to create the environment for them. >> but you do guide it along. what i thought was relatable is that it's poignant and awkward and they're having marital problems and trying to figure out how to reconnect again. which is what so many people are going through and don't know how to do it. >> i think, yeah.

i think it's relatable. they play it so honestly. some of it is tough. i mean, you would on the surface think this is going to be kind of a frothy comedy about these two people rekindling their love. but it's much deeper than that. they're such great actors that they bring a lot more depth to it. >> what's it like for you? you're steve carell on the set with meryl streep and tommy lee jones and you bring something to the table too. >> he was so intimidated to work with me. >> i heard that. >> when you heard that was going to be the cast, what was that like for you? >> extremely exciting and a little daunting at the same time. because the way we shot those scenes, they're fairly long scenes and we would shoot them uncut. we would shoot them -- they would train a camera on us and we would just go. these scenes would play out like one act plays essentially. that, to me, was the most fun of it. we got to get into a rhythm and you're acting with two of these

great, great actors. so i mean, it's sort of a dream. >> i'm fascinated because you've celebrated your 17th wedding anniversary. >> 17th. >> how is it going with nancy? >> it's all right. >> anything you want to share? >> no. she won't be watching. though she might be. >> as you're playing a therapist, have you ever been to marital counseling yourself? >> i haven't. but i spoke to a number of therapists and i focused in on one guy who was -- >> who said what? >> he was very gentle. his approach was gentle but effective. that's kind of who i modeled this character after. >> i loved watching the three of you together. i'm not late to the steve carell fan club. i've watched you in the office for years and years. do you miss being on the show as much as i do having you there? >> i miss the people. they're my friends. i spent seven years working with all of them. >> do you ever watch it? >> all the time. it's a great show. >> you do? you've left every job on a high

note when you go from jon stewart, then to the office and your career is going swimmingly well. >> that's why i'm leaving this interview right now. it seems to be going well. leave before it dips in any way for me. >> i heard that you don't think of your self-as a comedian. >> i don't. >> you sdmoent. >> mo. >> because? >> i can't tell jokes. i never did stand up. i'm not somebody who can hold court very well. i'm not -- my wife will confirm this. i'm not very good at cocktail conversation. i'm fairly shy i think. >> are you? >> i would rather be at a party listening to somebody tell a joke or a great story. i'm not that person. >> haven't you gotten to the point at this stage in your life that people want to talk to you at a cocktail party. you walk in the room and people go, steve carell is here. >> they're disappointed. >> i don't believe it. >> there's nothing there. i'm hollow shell. >> i don't believe it. i love when you did 40-year

virgin and i've always wondered where this came from. the scene where they rip off the tape and you yell kelly clarkson. >> that was real. if you watch closely, you can see blood pooling to the top of my skin. it was disgusting. >> was it? >> it was more disgusting when my hair started to grow back in. that was a mess. my -- >> go ahead. >> your ratings will dip so low if i do that. >> i'll take a chance. go ahead. open your shirt now. >> not going to happen. >> i read that you gave a commencement speech at princeton. the reason i'm fascinated by this, i feel commencement speeches are so intimidating because everybody wants you to say something really inspiring. were you nervous before you did that? >> i wasn't nervous because i knew they weren't looking for anything inspiring from me. i think clearly, i was asked -- one of my nieces was in the graduating class. >> i was wondering why you did

that. >> i just wanted it to be fun. while at the same time, possibly having a little bit of a message. you know, they've spent four years of their life being lectured to. the last thing they want is for me to pontificate. >> what did you tell them? >> i talked about technology and about how it is separating us but i did it in a tongue in cheek way. >> your wife, i love the fact that you have been married as long as you have. >> i do, too. i'm glad. >> i'm very happy about that, steve. the best advice she ever gave you. you said she's a barometer for you. the best advice yshe ever gave. >> don't take yourself too seriously. just sometimes you have to let things roll off krur back. >> i agree. you're 50 next week. >> i am. >> some people look at 50 and are worried. i'm going through a crisis. you're feeling -- >> i was feeling fine until you brought that up. >> you're welcome, steve carell. happy birthday to you.

it is all of those things that are sort of part of the mosaic of the 21st century. >> we think that there is an intersection between a political policy, which is taken and the type of bridge the city builds and whether it's going to implode on itself at some point. you know, if someone has a strong cultural agenda in a nation, how is that going to draw politics. the magazine is divided into a, b, c, d, e. not affairs of celebrities in hollywood. we don't do celebrities. it's political affairs, business culture design and then a consumer section. >> some people say it's high brow, hoyt i and toit i. 50 things to improve your life. one is a private island. i agree -- this one agree with. a balcony. so to the people that say, well, it's not for me, it's for the affluent and rich, what do you say? >> it's smart and we really want to look people in the eye, don't want to talk down to people.

it's international. we were headquartered in london. we're speaking to people in osaka as much as auckland as much as san diego. i was talking with an editor yesterday, i mentioned you were coming, she said i love that magazine because it's a cultural how-to guide that you can learn a lot and even if you think it's not relatable to you, it's apparitional. is that part of your thinking? >> is he or she looking for a job? >> her name is kirsten, you cannot have her. i think there are several things that we're trying to do. it's interesting that she referenced that it's aspirational. we want people to aim high and explore and see the world. a lot of what we do, it focuses on opportunity. we want to show people where there are opportunities in the world. we do the big story. we were in a -- yes, we know that there's a boom happening in ghana. but how do you navigate ghana as a business person? to deliver a concise briefing.
