. good morning. i'm anthony mason. >> i'm rebecca jarvis. here are a few of the stories we'll be looking at on "cbs this morning saturday." tropical storm isaac takes aim at haiti and the dominican republic and could pose a major threat to florida as republicans get ready for their national convention in tampa. once the curtain rises, it's mitt romney's chance to take center stage and reintroduce himself to voters. deadly gunfire in front of one of the most famous landmarks. a workplace supervisor is gunned down outside the empire state building leaving two people dead and nine injured. more questions than answers in jonesboro, arkansas.

a man whose hands were handcuffed behind his back in a patrol committed suicide. the man's family calls it murder. we open up the cbs vault for an interview with edward r murrow talking with grouch owe marx. >> this is a swimming pool, ed. can you see it? >> yes, i can. >> i lived here 22 years before i lived in a pool. i always had the water. this year i put the concrete around it. >> all that and so much more on "cbs this morning saturday," >> all that and so much more on "cbs this morning saturday," august 25, 2012. captioning funded by cbs good morning. happy saturday to you. >> happy saturday. >> i love that. i always have the water. but this year i put the concrete around it. there will be a lot of water in part of cuba have declared a

state of emergency. hurricane warnings and watches are posted for parts of florida. david bernard in miami is our hurricane consultant here at cbs news. david, good morning. how do things look now? >> there's great concern in south florida and the keys and for the rest of the peninsula as well. because it looks like tropical storm isaac is on its way to becoming a hurricane. it's 150 southeast of guantanamo this morning and our future track brings it to a category 1 on sunday afternoon as it approaches south florida and the keys with the possibility, if it does get its act together, it could be a little bit stronger than that. now, by monday night, tuesday morning, it will be making its closest approach to the west coast of florida including the tampa area with a second

landfall possible as we go into wednesday and also into thursday. >> david, where do you expect the heaviest wind impact to be? >> well, right now the probability is for high wind impact, they're going up. let's look at the graphic. again, this is the threshold where we can start to see damaging winds and we have a medium chance from miami to key west and a strip like that. if the storm grows in size or gets stronger, guys, we're going to see that expand perhaps a little further to the north and east and include places like tampa and also fort myers. so today is going to be really critical. the next six to 12 hours to see how much the storm strengthens once it reemerges from haiti and the warm waters of the atlantic. >> david bernard. thanks, david. now we turn to politics. mitt romney is in ohio this morning campaigning on the last weekend before the republican national convention. but the trip yesterday didn't get off to a smooth start. jan crawford is traveling with the romney campaign north of

columbus in ohio. jan, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, rebecca. good morning, anthony. we're here for another rally this morning leading into the convention next week as the campaign tries to get past some of the distracting headlines over comments made by that missouri senate candidate todd akin when he was talking about rape and abortion. now, the campaign wants to focus on the economy, but yesterday in michigan, romney managed to create some distractions of his own. be back home to see this wonderful state. >> for romney and his wife ann, the political rally outside detroit also was a homecoming. >> mitt and i grew up here, we fell in love here and this is a special place for us and we want to have a big w next to michigan in november. >> but the familiar surroundings may have made romney too at ease when he joked about his own birth certificate. >> i love being home in this place where ann and i were raised. where both of us were born.

ann was born at henry ford hospital, i was born at harper hospital. no one has ever asked to see my birth certificate. they know that this is the place that we were born and raised. >> the obama campaign didn't think it was funny and accused romney of pandering to fringes by applying the president wasn't born in the u.s. in a statement, the campaign stayed governor romney's decision to directly enlist himself in the birther movement should give pause to any rational voter across america. but romney when asked about it in an interview with scott pelley -- >> ee were in michigan. ann and i were both born in detroit. a little humor goes a long ways. it was great to be home, to be in a place where ann and i had grown up and the crowd loved it and got a good laugh. >> reporter: now, romney and the campaign have repeatedly

insisted that there is no issue with where the president is born. that that is settled. but this was just another distraction for the republicans not getting the conversation to stay on the economy. so whether or not they can get past that going into next monday's convention, that's what they'll keep trying to do. what we'll be hearing here later this morning. i don't think we'll be talking about the president's birth certificate from here on out. >> jan crawford in ohio, thank you. jan. mitt romney is slowly making his way to tampa, florida for the site of the republican national convention which begins on monday. joining us from there is political director john dickerson. good morning, john. >> reporter: good morning, anthony. >> john, as we just saw in jan's report, the whole birther issue was reignited yesterday. mr. romney said it was basically a joke in passing. do you think that was intentional? >> reporter: well, we don't know what was in his heart. so it's hard to say. certainly the democrats think it was intentional.

last week when joe biden said a dumb remark about chaining voters or how republicans were going to put people in chains, the republicans, the romney campaign reacted in just the same way, kind of falling down in outrage saying this was intentional. this is the cycle we're in and mitt romney, whatever his intention was, certainly the democrats and the obama administration -- the obama campaign are suggesting this was calculated and so now we've got this is the latest round in the sort of gaffe olympics in this election so far. >> john, something outside of any person's control is the weather. now we hear there are hurricane warnings for this week. has the rnc schedule been changed at all based on these facts? >> reporter: yes, rebecca. you can see the wind starting its business here. the schedule change that's been -- he's now not coming.

he was going to come at that tampa to make mischief. usually the other party stays away. there have been schedule changes on the republican side. those are mostly because the networks are not going to televise monday night. ann romney was supposed to speak that night. one of the goals was to introduce ann romney. she's going to speak on tuesday. there was some talk she was going to swap with senator marco rubio and he was going to speak on monday. there's been movement of the chess pieces, but that's not so far been because of the weather. it's been because they want to get their best faces in front of the network cameras. >> john, who do you think the critical speakers are for romney and the republican convention? >> the most critical is romney on thursday night. leading up to that, ann romney will play this important role kind of introducing a lot of new viewers and particularly those women viewers, suburban women viewers if you want to get pointed about it, introducing, reintroducing them to mitt

romney. chris christie will be a big, big voice in the crowd here because he has a strong critique about the president. he's a good speaker. he appeals to kind of more regular-type middle class voters than mitt romney might. so -- and then marco rubio, a key senator in the important state of florida. >> john dickerson. thanks, john. mitt romney acceptance speech will be vital to his campaign and could help reintroduce him to voters. joining us with a look at what romney needs to say is michael ger san. he's columnist for the post and former speech writer for george w. bush. good morning, michael. >> good to be with you. >> what specifically does mitt romney need to say here? >> well, i think he needs to accomplish a few things. he needs to humanize himself. i was talking with a republican member of congress and says romney remind him of the groom

on top of the wedding cake. he needs to come down from the cake and talk about family in compelling ways. he needs to show he has a governing vision, including everybody. a lot of people are discontented with the way the country is going. many right now are not -- he needs to characterize his opponent which all convention speeches do. he needs to be tough but not nasty or mean. he needs to use some humor in that probably which is not necessarily one of romney's strong suits. if he does those three things, he'll have a good speech. >> governor romney is said to be much more involved in his own speech writing than a lot of candidates. do you think that's going to help or hurt him? >> it can go either way. it's a complicated process. the speech writer has to deal with the policy people. deal with the political people. the candidate has to be comfortable in this process. he has to believe what they're saying, be comfortable with the

words themselves. when i worked on bush's convention speech in 2000, the things that was most satisfying to me is how confident the president was before the speech. he told me that win or lose, people will know who i am from this speech. romney needs to get to that place. he needs to invest himself. but also means that he needs to know what it is that he wants to say and give good direction to others and not every good candidate and good politician is a good speech writer. >> we'd love to hear inside the mind of the speech writer, michael, what it was like hearing president bush recite your words. >> well, it's the highest pressure moment in american politics because when you work an inaugural address, which i did, you're talking about history. a convention speech, you're writing to give an inaugural address. the stakes are unbelievably high and a lot of pressure from those around you. when president bush spoke in

philadelphia, i couldn't watch. i was walking the streets of philadelphia and in the rain. and it was too much pressure. but, you know, it is an important moment. an unfiltered moment, which is rare in a campaign. but it's also a moment of harsh judgment where americans decide, does he fill this stage or is he swallowed by this, the largest stage in american politics? that's a tough thing. >> really interesting. michael gerson, thank you. in the lucrative world of high tech electronics. a giant legal victory for apple over samsung. a jury in california found samsung guilty of stealing the technology apple used to create eye foends and ipads. it ordered samsung to pay apple big time for the theft. john blackstone reports. >> during the month-long patent infringement trial, apple's attorneys said samsung used a

range of technology and design that belonged to apple. like the pinch to zoom gesture that lets users magnify an image on the screen. the more than $1 billion award was well below the $2.5 billion apple sought. apple immediately asked the judge to order the samsung product off the market. but that won't happen, at least until another court hearing next month. c-net's josh loewenson. >> nothing is going to get ripped out of your hands. they're going to get pulled from retailers. >> in a statement, samsung called the verdict a loss for the american consumer. it will lead to fewer choices and potentially higher prices. apple said in a statement, the lawsuits were about values and the verdict sends a loud and clear message that stealing isn't right. smartphone sales are expected to reach some $220 billion this year. apple and samsung, the world's two biggest smartphone makers

are battling for dominance. this verdict is virtually certain to be appealed. for "cbs this morning," john blackstone, san francisco. now to the latest on the deadly shooting in new york city. a gunman opened fire near the empire state building. two people were killed, including the gunman. nine others were injured and police are trying to determine what happened during the chaotic confrontation with the gunman. elaine quijano is here in new york. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, rebecca and anthony. that confrontation between the gunman and police lasted just eight seconds, but there was chaos in the aftermath as bystanders were sent scrambling. construction worker owner camacho was laying stone outside new york's landmark empire state building when he heard gunshots. he started running after police recording it all on his feign phone. >> i never seen this in my life. all of a sudden we hear boom,

boom. >> surveillance video shows when it was over, the gunman, identified as 58-year-old jeffrey johnson, lay dead. also dead, steve erk lynn owe, his former colleague. nypd commissioner ray kelly. >> in a dispute with one of the former employees, in front of the building, johnson produced a pistol and fired at close range striking his 41-year-old victim in the head. >> nine bystanders were wounded. what's not clear is whether they were shot by the gunman or police trying to bring him down. >> two civilians shot. the perp is shot. >> that's affirmative. they took the perp down amt cbs news was told that johnson blamed him for -- earlier this year both men had filed

harassment complaints against each other. while streets were blocked off, it never shut down. today it's open to visitors as usual. rebecca and anthony. >> elaine quijano. thanks, elaine. it didn't take long. the death threats have already been made against the former navy seal who wrote, no easy day. the book about the killing of osama bin laden. a group lipnked to al qaeda -- e ask allah to kill him sooner, not later. the book has reached mum one in pre-sales on amazon.com and joining us is a former member of navy seal team six. he's the author of "inside seal team six." >> welcome. >> thank you. do you believe this individual put his team at risk? >> i don't know what's in the book yet. i give him the benefit of the doubt that he did not put the team at risk.

the team was put at risk when it was announced that seal team six conducted the raid on may 1st. when that came out to the media and seal team six was announced that they were the ones that conducted the raid, that put the team at risk. >> you sign a nondisclosure agreement when you take that job, don't you? >> we all do. >> how strict is that? could this violate it? >> if he signed one and he didn't go through the prb, which is what it appears to be, that is a violation. but when you come in the military or the government, you do have to sign a nondisclosure. it's a lifelong commitment that you would not disclose classified information. >> when you set out to write your book, was there anything you had to leave out? >> when i agreed to write my book, i agreed only that i would write nonclassified, nonsensitive items in the book and that i would have to send it to the publication review board. it's a painful process and they chop it up and put all the black marks in. but that was the only way i was allowed to write the book. >> the pentagon and the cia at

this point are saying they did not vet this book. >> that's what i understand. i understand the prb did not vet it. he had an attorney or lawyer vet it, which is not -- you have to go further than that. >> what would qualify as something not classifiable to the public? >> that might what you do for physical training or some experiences you may have had on an operation or mission that do not disclose your teammate's name or what the actual mission was. we can't give away information or classified secrets that could aid the enemy in defeating our team when our team is fighting the war over there. >> it seems like the process is more protective rather than less. you said going through it yourself was difficult. was there anything specific that you can point us to that you had to leave out? you know, i was very careful when i wrote my book not to put anything classified in it. it took three month for them to go through it all. they went back and forth.

it went through the u.s. government, naval special warfare. it was going back and forth. i was surprised at some of the things they took out. they're the ruling body. when they take it out, that's it. >> don, thanks for being with us this morning. >> cbs news will not reveal the name of the seal who wrote the book. but he will be interviewed on "60 minutes," sunday, september 9th here on cbs. lance arm strong is not hiding. he's expected to compete in a mountain bike race in aspen, colorado, today and will run a marathon tomorrow. on friday, the u.s. anti-doping agency wiped out 14 years of armstrong's career. his record seven tour de france titles. the agency has also banned him for life from cycling. what happens to his foundation that raised nearly half a billion dollars for cancer research joining us is columnist for the new york times.

>> good morning. i had heard that the foundation, in fact, raised 25 times the amount just yesterday online of a normal day. >> yeah. i think a lot of people are -- he mentioned the word witch hunt which i think is explosive term. i think a lot of people are tired. first of all, they're not going to take the money back. all the money raised is there. i think that the fact, though, that he stopped and said, i'm done with it, what that allows to do is creates an ambivalence and neutrality so that those people who love him, you know what, he just stopped. people who hate him or don't like him, say well, you know what, guilt by association. whereas, if you go through the court process or -- then all of a sudden and people start coming back and testifying. >> you were going to have his teammates come out and say he did it essentially. >> doing this, number one, is saves him a lot of money. but those people want to

continue to give will continue to give. i mean, if you look at what this guy has done, he's done a lot of good. i mean, forget the cycling stuff. he's done a lot of great things for cancer research and all that. you can't take that away. i think we're so anesthetized to our quote-unquote sports heroes doing this kind of stuff. i think a lot of people look at it like a lucas movie. you know what, i just enjoy the effects. don't tell me how they did the effects. >> sportswise, do you think this damages his legacy? >> it stains it a little bit, yes. it stains it a little bit. you know, during this whole time, i was covering the barry bonds stuff. >> right. >> all the time while they were tainting barry bonds from the very beginning, he was like the great american hero. i'm like wait a minute, nobody said what if -- there was no what if. absolutely this is it. that's this whole thing.

the double standard kind of bothers me. >> bill roaden, thanks for being with us. >> pleasure. it's about 22 after the hour. here's lonnie quinn with our first check of the weather. >> good morning. good morning to you. the big weather story. it's obviously tropical storm isaac. isaac is still 800 to 900 miles away from south florida, yet look at that picture. south florida already starting to feel the wet weather associated with isaac. these are not the outer bands. it is outflow associated with the storm. that's an area where we'll see a lot of rain. also around the chesapeake, our own low pressure system from that area up to places like philadelphia. shouldn't go much north of new york city. it's the midwest where we see a lot of rain. this will be one to two inches of rain from des moines to tulsa. you need that. that's a quick look at the national picture. here is a closer look at the weather for your weekend.

>> all right. anthony, rebecca, over to you guys. thanks, lonnie. we'll be right back. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday." >> extremism and the defense of liberty is no bias. moderation in theit of justice is no virtue. ,,,,,,,,,,,,

a number of people asking this question today. what really happened in the back seat of a police cruiser. officials in jonesboro, arkansas, say that chavis carter killed himself last month even though carter was wearing handcuffs. police say they searched him twice, never found the gun that killed him. >> carter's mother and grandmother don't believe what the police are saying. we'll talk to them about what they say really happened. they'll be here with their attorney. we'll be right back. this is "cbs this morning" st. this is "cbs this morning saturday." ,,,,,,,,

you were giving a tutorial during the commercial break. if this is a sweeping victory for apple, why does it open the door to more like lawsuits? it seems like it would close the door to lawsuits? >> the way that the analysis works here is that, because apple was successful and we should note that samsung can appeal this. >> right. >> they will appeal this. but it opens the door to companies saying, if i would like to stay competitive, then what i do is i sue my competition. i say no, i had that idea first. and then people are asking now, at what point do juries and judges say, well, this isn't new. i mean, there's been a chair around since the beginning of time.

if you create a new chair -- >> how much -- how fast technology moves and how aggressively you have to protect the little advantages you have. >> nothing has changed in terms of -- we're a litigious society. we go to court over everything. i understand what you're saying now. it doesn't open the door for lawsuits against apple. you're talking about other tech companies. >> apple could be one of those tech companies. they're all going to be facing this question of do i go after my competition in court because the court might actually side in my favor? one thing that's interesting, apple was way up in after hours trading when in judgment came out. most people own apple stock. if you have a retirement account, you own apple tok even if it's not outright. >> told me to buy apple. i bought like ten shares. it's so fun when you buy a little amount like that and watch it click up, click up. >> that's what apple has been doing. >> exactly. ,,,,,,,,

♪ picture perfect morning ♪ welcome to "cbs this morning saturday," i'm anthony mason. >> i'm rebecca jarvis. lets get to the top story. new questions in the shooting of a man in police custody. chavis carter was arrested in jonesboro, arkansas last month and handcuffed in the back seat of a police car. his death has been ruled a suicide. police say he had a gun and even called his girlfriend before killing himself. but as wayne carter, of our memphis affiliate wreg tells us, many questions remain. >> it was around 10:00 on a saturday night when officers pulled over this white pickup truck. neighbors had called police wondering why it was just sitting on their street with

three young men inside. >> where do you all live at? >> that's officer keith baguette questioning the men. the camera from his squad car capturing moments so many are now trying to figure out. chavis carter right there on the passenger side is arrested because he missed a court date in mississippi. >> how do you they will your middle name? >> chacob-h-a-c-o-b-i-c-h-a-c-o >> police questioned the other two men. you can't see it or hear it on tape, but moments later they found carter dead shot in the head in the back of the police car. the cameras still rolling as an ambulance arrived and officers told someone what happened. >> we were talking about to get back in the car, thought i heard a strange pop. smelled of gunpowder. and he was leaned over. >> my son -- >> hours after learning of her son's death, teresa carter told us it was impossible.

her son was left-handed but shot in the right temple. >> as protocol, he was handcuffed behind his back, double locked and searched. >> jonesboro police responded with reenactments showing carter could have killed himself. witnesses who saw it, backed up the officers. >> you were watching the officers the whole time until they opened up the back doors and called for an ambulance? >> the whole time. >> for "cbs this morning saturday," wayne carter, jonesboro, arkansas. >> joining us from memphis is teresa carter, chavis carter's mother, his grandmother, ann carter winters and the family's attorney, ben irwin. senior correspondent, john miller is with us all. good morning. >> good morning. >> teresa, let me start with you. what do you think happened to your son in the back of that police car? >> not sure what happened. that's what i'm trying to find out now what really happened. >> ben, chavis made two phone calls to his girlfriend while in

police custody. what can you tell us about those conversations? >> the first one was from the vehicle that was stopped. he told her that, you know, he's going to give them a name but that he knows he's going to jail. and that basically telling her that you have to bail me out, you have to post bond. a second call is made a few minutes later while he's sitting in the back of the squad car and in this one he calls her again and now he says listen, i'm going to jail. he does admit to being in possession of a gun and then he also says, listen, write me every day. we're going to be together. i want you to write me every day and then he says i don't want to lose my first family. the reason he said that is because what we've now recently found out is they were expecting a child together. >> john, in the reports we've heard from ben, in that

conversation chavis told his girlfriend he had a gun. and yet, the police searched him multiple times and didn't find one. how is that possible? >> well, it's certainly a training issue. if you conduct a pat-down of somebody and you miss something like a weapon, a pistol, that shows a substandard search. we just need to get that out of the way right away. we've also seen this in history. i can remember here in new york city, a murder suspect being transported by two very experienced detectives right by laguardia airport who was handcuffed, hands behind his back, cuffed in the back of a car who had a weapon, a .45 in the small of his back. he pulled it out. he didn't shot himself. he shot the two detectives. we've seen these kind of lapses before. it is possible. >> the police did not conduct a gun powder residue test on him. the dashboard video is also incomplete. i mean, it raises questions about procedure, doesn't it? >> well, it does.

the police have been fairly forward leaning for an investigation that's not complete in trying to answer those questions. so on the paraffin test, they haven't spoken about that. i can tell you from my experience, that is a test that is highly overrated and underrated. there are demonstrated cases where you can fire a gun, put it down and go through the gunpowder residue test, gsr and find nothing. then you can do it again and find positive results. it generates false negatives, not false positives. there are other forensics that are here. high velocity blood spatter on his right hand which is the hand they say he would have handled the gun with. it indicates that hand would have been close to what appears to be a contact wound. there are indicators, i mean, forensic indicators that support the police version of the story

as the investigation shapes up. certainly, there are questions though. >> teresa, what would bring you peace in all of this? >> to know what actually happened that night. >> teresa carter, ann winters carters, ben irwin and john miller, thanks. here's lonnie with another check of the weather. >> good enough, anthony. let's look at the satellite and radar picture for our country. it's the mid section of the country where we see a cold front from top to bottom. we have a low pressure system around the chesapeake. from say the -- significant rain because of that low. look at this. down in south florida, there's rainfalling right now and it's all because of, believe it or not, tropical storm isaac as of the friday a.m. update. 60 miles per hour winds moving to the northwest at 14 miles per hour. currently, 150 miles to the southeast of guantanamo in cuba. later today, much later, we'll be looking for landfall in cuba as a tropical storm and then it

hits the warm waters of the florida straits and we think by about 2:00 a.m. monday morning, we could be seeing a hurricane landfall somewhere between, say, miami and key west. lot of rain for the sunshine state. that's a quick look at the national picture. here's a closer look at the weather for your weekend. all right my friends. make it a great saturday. rebecca, over to you. thank you, lonnie. the expensive sneakers some say could insight riots. why nike is being told just don't do it. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday."

♪ >> coming under fire for its new lebron basketball sneaker. it's supposed to sell for about $315. in this tough economy with many parents struggling to make ends meet, there are calls for nike to not even put the shoe on the market. joining us now is marc morial. he's president of the national urban league. good morning, marc. >> great to be with you. >> why is the national urban league getting involved in this issue? >> this sort of came to us from constituents who said, have you

seen this $300 tennis shoe. this is outrageous. please say something because we're at the point now where we're trying to prepare our children to go back to school, trying to afford school supplies and school clothes. all of a sudden x we're going to be inundated with this marketing campaign that says you've got to have this $315 shoe. this is targeted at teenagers and very young adults. this is the most outrageously priced sneaker in american history. >> marc, if there are people out there who can afford a $315 sneaker, why shouldn't nike sell it? >> i think we have to speak out because in the past, these -- the sophisticated and seductive marketing campaigns of nike around these sneaker launches have created conflict, violence, the police have had to be called out in a number of communities.

also, i think it speaks to values. you could purchase for $300 a net book computer. you could purchase five textbooks, you could o purchase 20 books. you could get 33 ticket to the natural history museum. this is also a message for parents, not just for nike. we're saying to parents and young people who may be spending their own money, consider whether this type of product is really where your priorities should be. >> we have the official statement from nike in response. they say nike continues to offer shoes at various price points for consumers, including currently in the marketplace the lebron zoom soldier basketball shoe at an srp of $120 and the nike zoom hyper fuse at an srp of $110. so if there are other shoes on the market, marc, that are less expensive, why take issue with this shoe that's more?

>> it speaks for itself. i don't think anyone -- most people who have reacted to this have said a $315 sneaker. this is a sneaker. it's not an item of necessity. it's what we call a nice at this. it's a vanity item and nike, it's not only the sneaker, it's the seductive and sophisticated marketing campaign that will go behind the launch. it speaks to other products and doesn't deal directly with this product. we have to see what they said. i'm saying to parents out there, take a step back. i'm urging nike to take a step back and be responsible about their product launches. >> marc morial, thanks for being with us. up next, he's old enough to join aarp. but can he still pitch? baseball great roger clemens has unretired again and he takes to the mound tonight. we'll talk to one much baseball's great innovators who helped convince clemens the time was right. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday."

♪ this is a big day for baseball. pitching great roger clemens will be back on the mound today for the first time in five years. he is 50 years old and in june, clemens was acquitted of all charges that he lied to congress. now, he's throwing for the sugar land skeeters. a minor league baseball team in the houston area. on thursday, roger clemens appeared on "cbs this morning." charlie rose asked him if he was ready to make it back to the big league. >> i think anything is possible if you have the mind-set and the will and desire to do it and put the time in. we have some fun things planned. maybe another surprise or two. we'll wait and see what happens after saturday. >> joining us now from houston is cal smith. he spent 35 years with the houston astros and in april he was named a special adviser to the sugar land skeeters. good to have you with us. good morning. >> good morning. >> how excited is everyone there to see clemens pitch tonight? >> there's a real buzz in the

community. i think there's a lot of excitement in the baseball community. i think everybody is looking forward to it and anxious to see how it turns out. >> roger clemens is essentially saying this is all for fun so far. but the buzz is that this is one step back to the big leagues. do you agree with the buzz? >> well, we'll have to see. there's been a great deal of speculation, obviously. i've learned a long time ago, don't underestimate roger clemens in anything he sets out-do. >> your former club, the astros has made chatter this week suggesting clemens could go back to them. do you think that's part of the grand plan? >> i don't know if there's a grand plan. i suspect it's a possibility. i think ronler, as he has stated, wants to see how it turns out tonight. he is in great shape. if he stays in shape, he's very active competitively. all the time. i think he wants to see how he

responds. this will be the first time he's pitched professionally, as you said, in five years. >> it will certainly be an attention-getter. what do you think the attendance on a reappearance would be? >> at the major league level, it would be considerable. he's one of the greatest pitchers all-time. i think there's baseball fans throughout the country that would delight in the opportunity to see him pitch competitively again. >> clemens is going to be eligible for the hall of fame for the first time this winter. what are the chances, you think, that he will be admitted now or if he goes into the majors, he waits another five years? >> that's true. that resets the clock and obviously that's a major consideration, i think, for roger to consider and make a determination. >> you think -- obviously, if he doesn't feel like he could have a long run in the majors, maybe it's not worth it for him, is

it? >> i think that's a factor. roger is so competitive and he's obviously succeeded at every level, everything he's done. i think part of the reason for this is he loves baseball, he loves to compete, he loves the camaraderie of the clubhouse and his teammates. and i think he's anxious to see if he can do this. if he does, it simply adds to a legend for him at 50 years of age. >> do you think in any respect, he's trying to put the steroid image behind him and in effect clean up his image one final time? >> i think basically it's his love of the game and he loves to compete. it's hard for athletes to turn this off. as long as you can keep going, there's no reason why you shouldn't. you'll get a get test tonight and i think he'll pass it successfully. >> lot of people looking forward to watching that test. tal smith, thanks for joining us today.

and tuesday morning, that's when the storm could be making its closest approach to the tampa area and obviously, tampa looks to be on the bad side of the storm. that means very heavy rains and pretty strong winds as the storm goes by just to the west with a second landfall wednesday or thursday possible in the panhandle. >> dave bernard, thank you. >> the growing instability in syria has raised concerns about the security of that country's stockpile of chemical weapons much last night "cbs evening news" anchor, scott pelley asked mitt romney what he would do. >> would you send u.s. ground troops into syria to secure loose chemical weapons? >> i think we have to also be ready to take whatever action is necessary to assure that we do not have any kind of weapon of mass destruction falling into the hands of terrorists. and whether that requires troops or whether that requires other action by our friends and allies there, turkey is very involved,

saudi arabia is, but of course, we have to retain the option to protect ourselves and our friends from weapons of mass destruction. cbs news will have more of the interview with mitt and ann romney next week when the "cbs evening news" broadcasts live from the republican national convention in tampa, florida. firefighters are braced for gusty winds today at a national forest 120 miles north of sacramento. the fire is half contained and has been burning since last month consuming 99 square miles. 900 homes are threatened. also in northern california, a massive wildfire in the tiny mountain town of mineral has been contained. firefighters used water and flame retardant, 64 homes and 20 other buildings were destroyed. there were no reported injuries. two people were killed last night as gun violence continues to sweep through chicago. 19 people have been shot since thursday, including 13 within a 30-minute span on friday.

american politics changed. these are really now infomercials and we're hoping for reality tv moments where maybe there's a screw-up or something interesting we can overfocus on. >> however, that works to the upside. nevertheless, it's still nerve racking. big historic moments. everybody judges first by how many people watch, is it 70 million viewers, 40 million. and then who upstages, in this case mitt romney's speech. somebody like a chris christie come in and deliver a keynote. that's what everybody talks about. >> let's talk about what you consider a successful speech. let's look at 1956 and dwight eisenhower. >> in our modern world, it is madness to suppose that there could be an island of tranquility and prosperity in a sea of retchedness and frustration. >> why do you consider this speech a success? >> because dwight eisenhower won that election, became a two-term

president. but he was putting forward his foreign policy agenda. the cold war. we just had a hungarian revolution. the soviet union is an ominous threat. and he's more qualified than add lee stevenson. ike won a historic election. the 1964 speech was memorable. let's take a listen. >> all right. so what did you have to think of his speech? >> reagan stole the show at the palace in san francisco in 1964. it was supposed to be barry goldwater's moments. but reagan had what's known as the speech. he had been working for general electric and had practice, 300, 600 times his speech he delivered and he stole the house. it was the birth of reagan as a serious republican candidate.

he became, of course, governor and a two-term president and people marked that speech at the palace as the one that watched reagan where for goldwater, he got slaughtered that year by lyndon johnson. >> a speech can come back to haunt you. we'll look at george bush's speech in 1988. when he said the famous remark. i think we have it. >> read my lips. no new taxes. >> it did. it came back to haunt him, didn't it? >> very much so. got a big cheer there. sounded good. it was red meat for the gop believers. but 1992 after he had already raised taxes, it allowed opponents to call him a bit of a fraud. he said read my lips, no new taxes yet he raised taxes. george herbert walker bush lost in 1992 to bill clinton. was challenged by pat buchanan and then a third party by ross

perot. this was a bush who had won the gulf war, seen the breakup of the soviet union and the berlin wall coming down. many thought should have been a shoe-in but the economy and that speech was doomsday for him. >> sarah palin was a huge hit at the last republican national convention. her lipstick on a pit bull comment stood out to a lot of people. >> palin's speech is an example of a danger becoming bigger than the candidate. you don't want paul ryan's speech to get more attention than mitt romney's. and she clearly did with that. it was wonderful line. she became a media darling. suddenly, she had paparazzi following her everywhere and she wasn't up for being the insect in the jar, being shaken all the time and started making a lot of mistakes on the campaign trail heading into that november. >> nobody really remembers john mccain's speech. >> nobody does. what did he say? nobody remembers.

everybody remembers sarah palin. >> doug brinkley, thanks for being with us this morning. it so didn't stay in vegas. what's going to happen to prince harry now that his latest scandal followed him back to great britain. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday." >> i will keep america moving forward, always forward. for a better america, for an endless, enduring dream and a thousand points of light. this is my mission and i will complete it. on my chest... he thought he was having a heart attack. she said, "take an aspirin, we need to go to the hospital." i'm on a bayer aspirin regimen.

queens diamond jubilee. the prince is back in britain facing the scandal when he was photographed nude following a game of strip billiards in vegas. kate williams, author of young elizabeth, the making of our queen. kate, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> harry is on his way home, going straight to see the queen. what do you imagine is going on in that meeting? >> well, harry, we don't exactly know where he's at at present. he's not currently in scotland. he has had a very difficult conversation on the phone with prince charles because prince charles is very disappointed in him. this wasn't at all what they expected to be having after the jubilee extravaganza, the olympic triumph, prince harry naked in vegas. prince harry is in a bit of hot water. the crisis haven't taken place yet because it hasn't ended. it's just going on, getting bigger and bigger. i think there will be more

crisis meetings in the family when the queen comes back from balmoral to be there for the oechgt paralympics ceremony. >> one of the things they will be addresses is the fact that there are supposedly women who want to come forward with more pictures and more stories and they might get paid millions by the tabloids. >> i always said if these two pictures, if that's all there was where it seemed like a game of drinking and stripping and in britain we love people drinking, we think it's endlessly amusing. >> are you okay with this stuff? that in britain, the response to the pictures was just another day? >> exactly. surprisingly in britain, it really hasn't tarnished his image. everybody is like well he's a young man having fun. what a laugh. just having a few drinks in vegas. that's what every man what want to do. if there are more pictures, videos and stories, which it does look like the ladies are trying to sell their stories, harry is going to be in a lot of

trouble, a lot of firefighting and this could be a problem for the royal image. they're riding high after the jubilee, so popular. they're the most popular they've been since 1952 when the queen came to the throne. but this is going to be a problem. if we see much more riot and chaos and a suggestion that perhaps there's dodgier behavior going on, the british will turn against harry. he's going to have a fight on his hands. >> prince charles was especially disappointed. he's tried to put harry in a more prominent role, hasn't he? ultimately, could this damage his military career? >> you're right. prince charles has pushed harry forward. harry has really been showing himself off as so responsible. long ago, he's had this reputation of being a party prince. the charity work and the service in the armed forces and of course, his presence at the closing of the olympics, it has pushed him forward. the queen and prince charles saying look at harry, he's an important responsible member of the royal family.

but all this is undermining it. even though he wasn't representing the queen, wasn't on royal business, he goes to las vegas and really lets his hair done. it's got to be said, you have to be a prince to have that kind. harry is in trouble and his work job also. >> kate williams, thank you so much. we'll be right back.

who was making $250 a week and all the doctors as a comedian. all the doctors were. >> i wanted to pry into your family secrets. why have we never heard talk about your brother harpo? > harpo never had anything to say worth listening to. strangely enough when we were -- now that he's on the sidelines and he's in television now, now when i go to a party, he does all the talking and we all sit mu mute. >> what's the best advice you received from your parents? >> my father told me to stay away from my brothers and my mother told my brothers to stay away from me. that didn't work out. we were pretty successful working together and oddly enough, we're still very good friends. we see each other all the time and shoot pool. we're terrific rivals on the pool table.

weather. >> you bet. top story weatherwise is tropical storm isaac. as of right now, it's got 60 miles per hour wind. it is well south of the united states. look at this. you take a look at south florida. you're going to see rain on my radar map here. that is outflow from tropical storm isaac. if you take a look at the satellite imagery, it got a little beat up traveling over haiti. the wind dropped down from 70 miles per hour. now they're 60 miles per hour. 95 miles to the east, southeast. moving to the northwest. that's a problem. this thing is going to strengthen. here's why. hurricanes need 81-degree water to increase in size and strength and that's what lies ahead. it's going to emerge from cuba into the florida straits where the water is 87 degrees, makes its way to key west at a cat 1. a minor cat 1. then the warmest water anywhere in the united states just north of key west, 88 degrees and wouldn't you know it, this is the path, exactly the path that it's going to travel through. it will get up to a strong

category 1. if not possibly a cat 2. it's a possibility as it makes landfall. we think around pensacola, florida. that's a quick look at the national, little bit of an international flavor as well. here's a closer look at the weather for your weekend. >> all right. it's time for my shoutout. it goes to battle creek, michigan. it will be 89 degrees today. got to talk about the winds out of the south at 7 miles per hour. were am a talking winds? because battle creek is hosting the 2012 hot air balloon world championships. look at the nice pictures there. the sky is going to be a montage of bright colors as the best balloon pilots in the world take to the air. going to be a cool thing to see. we want to thank everybody for watching "cbs this morning saturday" only on wwmt news,

channel 3. all right. that's going to do it for weather. rebecca, over to you. >> thank you, lonnie. in an election year, image is everything. it certainly helps to be seen as the perfect family man. from the start of the political conventions next week until election day on november 3rd, expect to see more of president obama's two daughters and mitt romney's five sons. >> here to look at the impact kids have on their fathers' campaign is presidential historian doug weede. he's the author of the book, all the president's children. what role do children ultimately play in all of this? >> they soften the image and people like to identify with the children of the president and they like to know that the presidential candidates are moms and dads like them. these can become acrimonious contests. so the kids bring a little light touch to it. >> let's look at this year's race, starting with the romney family. he's got five sons. no big scandals there. how are they going to help mitt

romney? >> they're powerful surrogates. i worked for george w bush and traveled with him when his father was running for president. first we would pull crowd of 20 or 30 people at a hotel. closer to november, there were thousands that would come. put it this way, if you're going to give a thousand dollars to a presidential campaign, would you rather your picture with a governor whose name you don't know or chelsea clinton, amy carter, susan ford, tag romney. they become powerful fundraising machines. we talked about in the past sasha and malia, president obama's daughters. they've been out there, we've seen them on the stage giving mom and dad a hug. how might they play? >> keep in mind, historically the odds are 8 to 5, the candidate with the younger children will be the one who wins the election. there's a great moment with jackie kennedy. she didn't want her children in the limelight at all. she wanted them out of the limelight. when she was away on a foreign trip, the president who is a

good politics. he said go get the kids. the kids were being prepared for bed. it was a late night in the oval office. we actually, there was a photo of john junior under the desk in his pajamas and bathrobe. jackie is a great mama, jfk was a great politics. barack obama is a great politics. i think we'll see more of his kid. >> those are humanizing photographs. it changes everything. out of all the presidents who had the most dysfunctional family? >> i would nominate the two greatest presidents of the last two centuries, the reagans and fdr. reagan was the first divorced president and there was estrangement between the two sets of children and patty posed for playboy. fdr had five children with 19 marriages between them. one with a suicide attempt and one with a suicide of the in-laws. lot of scandal there. >> i was struck by the point you made that you have younger kids it plays in your favor, the older kids usually plays out of your favor.

i'm guessing that's partly because the older kids, the more trouble they can get into? >> that could be. but there's so many variables that it's hard for that statistic to be that meaningful. >> who is the most positive family image as a president? >> i think that the bushes and the kennedys had the most impact as a family. stop and think of the kennedys. jfk would not have been elected without his father for sure. he wouldn't have won the west virginia primary. you look at barbara bush. he will be a great figure. she's the mother of a president, mother of two governors. she's going to be a remarkable figure. >> doug wead thanks for being with us. >> up next, stallone, willis, eastwood. who is the best action hero? >> get off my lawn. >> our number one tough guy when "cbs this morning saturday" returns.

lumbering and sat. he's got a great irish melancho melancholy. to get his daughter back, he moves through a sea of human excrement with a fluidity and purpose that's astonishing. it's like he doesn't preen, he doesn't gloat. he wastes them all to get his taughter back. that's what i love. he's pure patriarchal meanness. >> i thought he was mo rose. >> that's the point. >> too hang dog to be a tough guy for me. first of all, harrison has ruined an entire generation of women who -- because of him as han solo. he is hot. but it's not just that. he plays an underdog that we can identify with. at the same time, he's better than us. >> smart underdog. >> exactly. >> there was a period in the '70s where fast talking --

harrison ford knocked that out. >> david, you went tougher at number two. you went to jackie chan. >> jackie chan, though, is the example of the action hero who is both acrobat and clown. he studied buster keaton's moves. so he has a poker face on an amazingly elastic body. whatever obstacles you throw at him, he can juggle them out of the way. he can use the pieces of props much he's like a great ballerina in a lot of ways. he's like donald o'connor in singing in the rain. >> lisa, sean connery. >> did you know that today is his 82nd birthday. >> happy birthday, sean. >> at this age, he's the one. he's the manly standard. i love sean connery because he could o order a martini shaken not stirred and seem manly rather than fussy. >> it's that combination of broodishness and elegance. he has license to kill because he's classier than the other people but he's also manlier

than other people. >> no nonsense. david, who is the top of the list? >> john wayne is not my favorite. but he's pretty much the gold standard when this comes to american -- >> lisa is shaking her head. >> not the pick at all. i mean, look, he wasn't much of an ak store. didn't have much range. when he spoke he represented either as a cowboy or a soldier, he represented the full force and might of the united states government. for better or worse. plus, there was something wonderful about his swagger and his very fast moves with guns and ammunition. >> when you're the arc type, who needs range? >> exactly. >> then there's matt damon. >> i think he's the modern anti-hero. he's smart, he's subtle. he's modest in his own way. yet, at the same time, he's better than us, right? when you think about him as jason bourne. >> because he looks better? >> think about him as jason bourne. like us, he doesn't know who he

is. he's fighting bureaucracies, but he's equipped with super human smarts and strength that equip him to deal with it better. >> how could you keep clint eastwood off of this list. >> we both hate him as a director. >> i love him in a movie called in the line of fire, he plays an aging secret service agent who has just an astounding vulnerability. if all his performances were that beautifully measured, i think he would have been at the top of my list. >> david and lisa thank you both for being here. even if we disagree with your picks, picks, we're happy you're here. >> you're tough onset too. we break out the champagne with one of the best chefs in the world. francois pie yard will share his
