"transformers." where were the mobs then? where were the riots? captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning." in an on dline video, romney sa president obama's base of voters believes they are victims who are entitled to government help. he said as a candidate he's not

worried about them. >> the obama campaign jumped on the statement calling it shocking. this morning, romney said the wording was bad, but not the message. jim crawford is covering the romney campaign and is in los angeles this morning. jan, good morning. >> good morning. good morning to our viewers in the west. romney will be leaving here in about an hour, heading to utah for a fund-raiser. the video posted online by mother jones is proving to be a distraction for a campaign about jobs. >> it's not elegantly stated, let me put it that way. i'm speak off the cuff in response to a question and i'm sure i could state it more clearly and in a more effective way than i did in a setting like that. >> romney appeared late monday at a hastily arranged news conference, addressing a video that surfaced of him earlier in the year the a fund-raiser. at event last may, romney was making a point that nearly half of all americans pay no federal income tax. he characterized them as obama

supporters who are dependent on federal programs. >> 47% who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe that government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it. and they will vote for this president no matter what. these people pay no income taxes. >> reporter: romney stood by those remarks last night. he said people who pay income tax are not likely to be attracted to his message of lower taxes so his campaign is not focusing on them. >> the political process of drawing my people into campaign. my campaign is about helping people take more responsibility. >> reporter: the obama campaign blasted the romney individuvide statement and sent a fund-raising e-mail to supporters, saying the man who spoke these words, who demonstrate such disgust and disdain for half of our fellow american americans is the other side's choice for president of the united states. he wants to lead our country. in 2008, then candidate obama

spurred similar controversy when he was caught on tape at a fund-raiser making these comments about conservative voters. >> it's not surprising then that they get bitter. they cling to their guns or religion or antipathy towards people who aren't like them. >> now, of course, all of this is coming as romney is trying to talk about jobs. that's the point he was making here in los angeles. chamber of commerce, when he spoke to that group yesterday. this is a distraction now for him. he heads off to utah and texas. he has fund-raisers there. >> how troubled are they by this? >> they think this is unfortunate. not so much his underlying point, which doesn't really contradict his campaign message, but the way he said it. there's no plans now to really back off this, issue an apology. because it does kind of square with a lot of romney's message, which is that the president has a campaign that wants more government, big government. and people are becoming more dependent on government under president obama. that's romney's message.

what he said in that fund-raiser isn't really at odds at that. but as he said, it was the way it was phrased. >> thank you, january. with me now, john mccain's manager when he ran for president in 2008. welcome. >> thank you, charlie. >> how damaging is this and all these reports of dissension in the romney camp? >> the two are unrelated. everybody has the youtube moment in politics. you just described the obama youtube moment. and you'll have a roomful of votes where someone will be taking a picture. there's no such thing as a living room where you can sort of let your hair down. and the fact that he let his hair down with a group of donors and it made news isn't really news in itself. what he does with it will be crick critical. this is a character building moment. american public looks in at various times during a campaign. i promise you they'll be locking in this week.

it may be a fresh opportunity for mitt romney, the candidate, to try to connect with voters. this is an issue that has been relevant to him as a candidate and i think this is an opportunity that he can try to do better. >> you know, what's interesting about these moments, too, they're opportunities to learn more about just what the tax system is. what romney suggested is that 47% of americans pay no federal income tax. which is true. but it is also true -- we made a graph to help everybody understand. of those 47% who don't pay federal income tax, 28% still pay some sort of payroll tax. >> right. >> and of those that pay no federal income tax and no payroll tax, that's just about 18% of which a majority are seniors. and seniors vote for republicans. did mitt romney just insult many of the people who end up voting republican? >> i think, norah, you have fallen into the same trap mitt romney fell into, saying seniors always vote for republicans. they don't. >> i said a majority of them

vote for republicans. >> in some cases. so i think this is a gross overevaluation of the american elect orate. not half the american electorate is off the table. and i think everyone needs to take a step backwards on demographics. they change in every election. barack obama ran this election so far as a re-creation of the energy and excitement he had four years ago. it's probably not going to turn out that way for him. and mitt romney needs to open up his mind and his campaign's mind and say those voters that we thought we couldn't get reach to, you've got to reach out to them now. >> but are most republicans disappointed in the romney campaign so far? >> look, i think that it's endemic in every campaign that there will be highs and lows. obviously right now this is a bad day for the romney campaign. they have to pivot on this, roll up -- >> these times in which republican republicans are saying the candidate has to redefine himself. it was supposed to happen at the convention. >> i think he actually did a

good job of defining mitt romney, ann romney's speech -- >> what does mitt romney have to do now to say, this is me, and this is who i am? >> i think that the problem is that he was ready to launch into more of an articulation of his economic plan, which is i think exactly the right thing to do at this point in the election. now he will have to take a step back a little bit and say, you know what? the reason i have these views about my economic plan is because of who i am. he will have to double up that message a little bit. it's a little less defined. it may be the best thing he could have done, talk about himself a little bit more. >> let me ask you this. clearly there's something wrong with our tax code. i think all americans agree with that. why not then have mitt romney make what is an affirmative argument saying this is the tax code. it's wrong. i'm the candidate for tax reform? i'm going to be able to work with republicans in congress, which barack obama has not been able to do. and i went back and looked at mitt romney's speech from the

convention. he never said the word tax reform in his speech. shouldn't the republican candidate be the candidate who embraces tax reform? >> norah, there's no question that our party probably spends as much time as any party in history talking about the failed tax system that we have. you're right. >> why not be the champion of tax reform? >> i think that part of the elements he has talked about are. you can't talk about deficit reduction without having a component of tax reform. you can't talk about changing entitlements without knowing that you're going to have an impact on the tax reform. >> he didn't say that last night. >> that's just semantics. if you believe that the only time people understand you're talking about taxes when you say tax reform, then you're right, he probably should use that more often if they believe that's an issue. you have to remember, too, he has been under enormous assault from the obama campaign on his own taxes, on his own tax issues that have probably born into some of that rational as to why they don't like to talk about tax reform in that context.

it's not in a vacuum. you can't just say, this campaign started today and right now we're going to take a look at it from that perspective. you've got to take it in its entirety and realize that this is a pretty well formed campaign, part of what mitt romney talked about is what everybody thinks about, which is we're pretty widely divided. >> thank you, rick. >> thank you. >> rick davis, thank you. new violence in afghanistan's capital this morning. militant islamic group is taking credit for an attack calling it revenge for an american-made film that mocks the prophet muhammad. kitty, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. 7:00 am local time, ramming a car packed with explosives into a mini bus full of foreigners. we believe these were aviation workers on their way to kabul international air force base. the blast was so intense that all the passengers were killed instantly. eight south africans were on

board and eight locals were killed in the explosion as well. militant group has claimed responsibility for this attack, saying it targeted foreigns in retaliation to the controversial anti-islam film. this group hasn't carried out attacks of this kind in the past. they also use quite unusual tactics, a female suicide bomber, which hasn't been done here in the past. and also it's quite strange. women here don't usually -- what we've seen in afghanistan in recent days is a wave of violence and very angry protests over the film in kabul yesterday morning. people here are worried, will there be more of these attacks due to the film or was this one incident? >> kitty, thanks. the pentagon has stopped most of the field operations that nato and u.s. troops conduct together. it follows the attadeadly attacn

americans. david is at the pentagon this morning. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie. u.s. and nato forces in the field fighting alongside afghan forces have now been called back to headquarters. this so-called suspension of partner operation is, as you said, a response to increased threat of insider attacks. 46 times this year, afghan soldiers or policemen have turned their guns on the nato troops who are trying to help them. 51 have been killed. most of them american. joint choefs chairman general martin dempsey calls these insider attacks a very serious threat to the campaign. until recently, the american ambassador in afghanistan, ryan cro crocker, put it differently. >> i think we underestimate at our peril a resilient enemy finding a new mechanism. >> reporter: he could have said

the same about the attack on camp bastian which left two marines dead and eight fighter jets destroyed, the most destructive attack of the entire war. it began at 10:00 pm friday when 15 enemy fighters dressed in u.s. army uniforms cut their way through the outer wire and blew a hole through the wall of the heavily fortified base. arm armed with automatic weapons, rocket-propelled grenade launchers and suicide vests, they split into teams. one went from the carrier jet fighters, another for the fueling stations and a third for the helicopters. within 30 minutes, the damage was done. although it would take another two hours before a quick reaction force killed 14 of the attackers and captured one. na tch nato and afghan troops will still work together in headquarters and training and on those special operations, night raids. the bread and butter of afghan and na tchto troops patroling s by side has been suspended unless an exception is granted by a commanding general and no one is willing to say how long

this will last. >> david martin, thank you. retired general richard myers, senior security analyst is with us, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> how much damage has been done to the u.s. effort of these attacks, both on the planes and the continued attack. >> time will tell. as our military leaders have said, this is temporary in nature. there will be some operations go ing on by permission only by higher authorities. so i think -- the best you could read is the temporary setback as both the u.s. side, nato side and afghan side try to do a better job of vetting who these people are, that are given guns and are close to our troops. >> general, given this dramatic shift in policy, how will this affect our plans to withdraw from afghanistan? >> the whole plan for

afghanistan, of course, is based on training and equipping the afghan army and police. if you can't work with them in the field and continue that training and teach them to operate appropriately, then they could set that back. 2014 is the date, of course, when the president is set to pull out the majority of our troops. so, potentially, it could have a serious effect. i think we have to wait and see how this plays out and how the afghan government -- how general allen and the nato forces respond. if they go back to the kind of training they were doing before this order came out. >> if i hear you correctly, general, you're saying if these attacks continue they may have to change the 2014 date to later? >> well, you know, that, of course, would be up to nato and the member countries. but, you know, the strategy was to get the afghan forces to a place where the army and the police could control the

insurgents, particularly the taliban. so they could not threaten the afghan -- >> that's an open-ended question. if you can get them to the point before we can leave, and you can't get them to the point, you're in a quandary. >> you're right, charlie. that's what's troubling about where we are now, this temporary suspension of the ability to operate with our afghan counterparts is problematic in reaching that 2014 goal, seems to me. >> general myers, thank you. good to see you. >> good to see you. an update on the chicago school strike. teachers are expected to vote this afternoon on accepting a new contract. the strike has kept 350,000 students out of class for seven days. if the teachers don't vote yes, chicago mayor raum hm emanual ws a court order to bring them back to work. the hearing is scheduled for tomorrow if there is no settlement. it is time to show you some of this morning's headlines from around the globe.

and that's just the beginning. >> the public has already pictures. it snapped them up. newsstand operators in paris say they've sold out. a lot of the magazines bought, this man says, by british tourists who can't get access at home. the magazine is already a collector's item. closer, the french celebrity and gossip glossy and chi owned by former italian prime minister silvio burg scone any saying they were harmless, taken from a public road even if the couple were on private property and the greatest justification of all, that the public wants to see them. william and kate prefer to be seen this way, performing royal duties as they've been doing this week in the south pacific. it's all smiles and glad handing here. but their lawyers have been playing hardball asking the french courts to fine "closer"

photos off its website, not to distribute them any further. this is more than they, in fact, could have asked for. of course, the photos are already out there. >> mark, will it stop the further publication of these pictures elsewhere? >> reporter: well, that's very much the message that's being put out, ha the full weight of the palace and the full weight of the law will be brought against any publication that violates the privacy of the royal couple. william is very determined to keep what happened to his mother from happening to his wife and is prepared to go to the courts to support that. >> mark phillips, thank you. ford made it through the recession without a government bailout. we'll ask ceo alan mulally about the company's new project and if he believes china is putting up roadblocks to american car companies. you're watching alan mulally show you his car. also you're watching "cbs this morning."

efficiency is a reason of bias. especially harmonizing in california. both co 2 and miles per gallon. we are very supportive of the trend that we've established. >> you've got this ford fusion. >> we do. >> this new car. >> we do. >> is that driven by customers wanting more fuel efficient cars, or is it driven by those fuel efficiency standards that charlie just talked about, the government saying we've got to change the way our cars are made. >> well, it absolutely is driven from the customer point of view, because in the last few years, fuel efficiency has become the number one reason to buy, whether it's a small vehicle like a fiesta or a fusion like we're going to introduce today or an f-150. i think most people agree that they'll pay more for fuel going forward, so fuel efficiency is

the number one reason to pipe. >> this is good business for you. >> this is fantastic. i think that's why we feel so good about the fact that we have worked together to have regulations that are in line with what the customers really do want. >> how important was the auto bailout for the american car business and for workers in detroit? >> well, charlie, we've talked about that before. that was such a critical time for our country. as you know, in ford's case, we had a very comprehensive plan before the economic slowdown and fuel prices were moving up. so we were well on our way to create an exciting ford. we made a decision to even testify on behalf of our interrupt competitors at the time because we felt that it was such a critical time for the industry and the united states economy that if we wouldn't have helped out temporarily, that we could have had the united states slip from a recession into a depression. so looking back, we thought about it a lot. would we do the same thing again and testify on behalf of our

competitors? i think it was critical to our country at the time. >> and you didn't need a bailout because you borrowed a lot of money earlier. >> we did. we went to the banks in 2006 with this plan to create a full family of vehicles to transform ford. the banks loved the plan. they loaned us $23.5 billion. and charlie, i'm just so pleased now that based on the strength of this product line, we have now repaid all of the $23.5 billion now. >> so you're riding a high here. and there are talks that you're ready to retire. >> really? charlie, what is that about? >> what's that rumor? >> well, you know, clearly -- >> a succession is in place that you may announce the new chief operating officer is mark fields. you want to make news here now? >> no, there's no news to be made. but clearly ford is a very important company for our country. the automobile industry contributes nearly 12% of the u.s. gdp. so i know everybody is very interested in the leadership of

ford. but i have absolutely loved serving ford. >> you're not going to retire any time soon. >> i'm not going to retire any time soon. >> are you announcing anything about mark fields any time soon? >> no announcements. i love serving ford. >> is the american automobile industry to be competitive on the world market? because i just saw a thing about your sales are down in europe, for example. >> well, this is really important because one of the neatest things about this last six years for ford is that the changes that we have made structurally now allow us to compete with the best car companies in the world. i'd just like to say again that what we have done with the unions with the uaw, with our dealers, with everybody associated with ford, we have fundamentally restructured this company so that now we can compete with the best companies in the world. so it's just such an important thing for the united states also. >> how do we compete against china? >> well, china is a great -- first of all, it's a great market for us. as you have covered very well. the chinese market is even

larger than the u.s. market today. we have a very good partner in china. we really implemented henry ford's original strategy. we have a growing operation in china. charlie, to your point, europe clearly is an issue for all of us. it's biggest decline in the economy in the market that we have ever seen, but we'll continue to deal with that like we have in the past. >> i just have to ask you about this story in the journal a couple weeks ago, which was the ford-150, the f-150, the most popular truck. that you're going to start adding aluminum to make the actual shell of the car lighter and more fuel efficient. when is that going to happen? >> well, we have been adding more aluminum. i can tell you as an airplane person, aluminum is very durable and strong. it brings a reduction in weight. and so clearly, back to fuel efficiency again and durability and quality, we'll see more and more of these allies going

forward. >> on a broader political question, do you believe america is regain its manufacturing ability? >> charlie, this -- you know, this is so important. and that's why -- well, it's one of the reasons that i decided to leave boeing and come to ford, because i really thought at the end i was being asked to serve a second american and global icon. it's all about manufacturing with the big m. it's so important. no country has ever had a strong robust economy without a strong manufacturing base. 70% of all the research and development in the united states is associated with manufacturing. so, you know, advanced technology, creating value, creating things that people want. i think it's so important. that's why i was so pleased to participate in the south korean free trade agreement because it's so important that we have trading rules that are fair and equal around the world. and i think with what we have done in the united states, we now have the opportunity to properly grow. we just announced for the new

female panda, delivered a surprise late sunday, a cub. not yet visible because he or she is so tiny, but very audible. >> we saw or heard squeals that are indicative of a cub. it's a very distinctive sound that the panda cubs make. >> nicole maccorkle, one of the panda keepers, says the new cub, which looks similar to this chinese born cub, weighs in at no more than four ounces. the panda house at the national zoo is closed. turned into a maternity ward. and that's good news for momma bear mei xiang. when we were here three weeks ago, the zoo wasn't even sure she was pregnant. and she faced the threat of being sent back to china and being replaced by a younger, more fertile female. this is all we'll see of mother and cub for several weeks, and it may take longer than that for zoo veterinarians to get a good look and determine its gender. the new arrival won't go on public view until late this year

to be a big distraction in a very big presidential race. >> how damaging is this? >> everybody has their youtube moment in american politics. this morning -- this so-called suspension of partnered operations is a response in to the increased threat of insider attacks. >> this temporary suspension with our afghan counterparts is problematic in reaching that 2014 goal, seems to me. prince william and his wife have won their fight against the first magazine to show topless photos of kate. >> defense publication ordered to take the photos off its website, not to distribute them any further. of course, the photos are already out there. >> are you like me? are you sick of the royal family? >> i can hoola hoop, but i don't know about darts. whoo! >> today is rosh hashana, the jewish new year.

i'm sure i can state it more clearly and in a more effective way. >> the obama campaign quickly jumped on the comments romney made at the fund-raiser saying it was shocking he would say such a thing about 47% of americans. but the romney campaign is defending that point. saying that fits in with his message that the president wants to see a bigger program, putting people more dependent on government. as romney said, it was just the way he said it. jan crawford for "cbs this morning" in los angeles. an islamic militant group says a suicide attack in afghanistan this morning was revenge for a film mocking islam. the target was a van carrying foreign aviation workers. at least 12 people including eight south africans were killed. the islamist group warned of more attacks. meanwhile u.s. and other nato troops stopped patrols with afghan soldiers and police after several were killed over the weekend. earlier we asked former chairman

of the joint chiefs of staff colonel richard myers how this could affect u.s. plans to withdraw at the end of 2014. >> the whole plan for afghanistan is based on training and equipping the afghan army and police. and if you can't work with them in the field and continue that training and teaching them to operate appropriately, then it can set that back. 2014 is the date, of course, when the president is set to pull out the majority of our troops, some left for other support activity. potentially it could have a serious effect. >> this is a serious statement by a former chairman of the joint chiefs to say if they can't train the afghan police, then they have a real problem meeting the 2014 deadline when you have that growing attitude and feeling in the american public about afghanistan. there's a real question as to what might happen. >> it will be interesting to see if the white house weighs in on that comment. >> not only a setback for 2014

when we're supposed to withdraw forces but also our drawdown of forces. by the end of this month we're supposed to be down to 68,000 troops. what about the next deployment order? will we have to keep that large number there to continue to train these forces or work this whole thing out? >> absolutely. >> to be continued for sure. the latest "newsweek" magazine is getting a lot of attention for its provacative cover. but it may not be the attention they were hoping for. the headline reads this "muslim rage: how i survived it, how we can end it." it was written by a muslim activist meant to spur discussion of the anti-american protests. instead people all around social media are ridiculing it. thousands went on twitter with mock indignation giving reasons like "there's no prayer room in this courtroom" and head and shoulders still doesn't make a conditioner. monday night football had a deplay of game because of replacement officials during the

i think that's just the beginning. i think over the next 20 years, we will take literally hundreds of thousands of people to space and that will give us the financial resources to do even bigger things. >> the irony about this is here's a guy who founded an airline that's been successful, who then got interested in balloons because he wanted to create world records. now that's not enough, he wants to go into space. >> why is it so exciting for you, sir richard? what do you want us to see and what do you want to see when you go? >> i think there are only 500 people who have ever been into space. they are the privileged astronauts, and yet if you ask the public, eight out of ten would love to go to space. and so i think first of all, we just want to enable people to become astronauts and experience it. but that will then give us the resources then to put satellites into space at a fraction of the

price, which can be incredibly useful for thousands of different reasons. >> is this more your sense of adventure or your sense of being a very good entrepreneur? >> i think that my approach to business is simply a love creating things. and then i try to make sure that it ends up paying the bills at the end of the year. so it's much more my sense of adventure. >> are you prepared to go up with the first group? >> i'll be going up with my children on the first flight next year. >> your son and daughter. do they want to go? >> i talked with them four days ago. they love adventure. >> we have come to the point where nasa and all that they had done -- ground for private entrepreneurs to go forward with space? >> yes. it's interesting, you've got a democratic party who have decided that -- let's now let the private enterprise take --

>> you mean the obama administration. >> the obama administration. i think they're absolutely right. i think that the private companies can do it at a fraction of the price. >> and do they have the resources to do it? >> yes, they do. i think that we will -- when transatlantic airline travel started in the 1920s, just a few very wealthy people took it. and in time the price came down. >> it's one thing for two hours, it's another thing to go to mars. >> in my lifetime, i'm determined to be part of starting a population on mars. i think it is absolutely realistic. it will happen. >> to start a population on mars, which means? >> it means p-- >> inheaabiting mars. >> won't be able to spend a lot of time outside. >> you also say you see the day coming that we can get from the

airlines? >> they're not at all like virgin america. >> want to understand your sense of why they're having to merge one after the other in order to survive. >> first, i don't think they do have to merge one after the other to survive. if they get their quality right, they'll survive. everybody knows the quality of the u.s. carrier is pretty abysmal buy and large. and so the mergers have been allowed by the authorities. >> if they wanted to travel with gps and with internet and with live investigation, they ought to be able to do it. >> they should do it. i don't want them to do it because virgin america has the leg up, but -- >> i have to cut this.

faith. speak victory. speak that this is going to be a good day. i believe it sets the tone for our day. >> so you take us every day of the week, there's something that we can look in the book and pull. you said starting when you look in the mirror. you say hello, you handsome thing. that's actually something in the book. what do you say? >> i like to get up and first thank the lord for another day. to recognize that each day is a gift from god. i mean, it's easy to get the day started off saying oh man, it's raining, i don't feel like going to work. my football team lost. if you start the day negative, you're going to draw in negative. so i like to say lord, i want to thank you. this is going to be a great day. thank you that i'm alive. thank you for your favor. thank you for your wisdom to make good decisions. just starting the day off in that positive frame of mind. >> but what happens, joel, if so many things are going wrong in your life and you know getting up, i can't pay the bills. i lost my job. i'm in a bad relationship. the kids are acting crazy. i mean, how do you turn that around and make that into something positive?

>> you know, it's hard, but the alternative is you get bitter and you just sink down into that deep hole of depression. i do think the first thing you have to do is find what you can be grateful for. i don't have a job, but i have health today. i can breathe without any pain. whatever it is. and sometimes it's hard. but i think if you can just find something to be grateful for. i mean, all of us that live here in america, the places that i'm sure we've all traveled. we can feel very blessed just to have peace and security. so i think you have to start -- you have to get your words going in the right direction or your life is just going to continue to go the wrong way. >> it's interesting, you say that your words going in the right direction. you write in the introduction, you say the key is you've got to send your words out in the direction you want your life to go. how do you do that? >> well, i think you just -- i believe that it's just important that you get up each day and just declare -- don't speak negatively over your life. how many people have i heard say well, joel, i'm slow, i'm clumsy, i'm not as talented as

you. you can't speak that over your life. every one of us is made in the image of god. we all have our own gifts and talents. i'm not saying you have to say it to other people. but in your mind, in your car, there's nothing wrong with saying i am talented, i am approved, i am valuable, i'm going to have a great day. that's the kind of thoughts that should be playing in our mind all day. >> in this "60 minutes" clip that we just showed, you clearly got very emotional. when you start thinking about what you've accomplished, 43,000 people come to your church. people say he didn't go to seminary school. there has been some criticism about that. sometimes they'll say his message is too sunny. what is it about you that you think inspires so many people? and what do you say to the critics about how you do what you do? >> well, gayle, i never planned on doing this. for 17 years i was behind the scenes running camera at my dad's church, doing the production. that's what i thought i would do with my life. but when my dad died and i stepped up to pastor the church, i never dreamed this was in me. that's why i feel very overwhelmed because i'm the least likely one.

>> where did it come from? >> well, i believe that god puts it in you and sometimes it takes god to push you into -- out of a comfortable situation to bring out what's in you. so when my dad died, i knew i was supposed to step up and pastor the church. never dreamed the church would grow, but that's why i think i felt overwhelmed. i wouldn't get up and make the announcements and now i speak to millions of people. that's why it's easy for me to tell people god's got great things in store. when i first started, i was so scared. i was scared to death. i would get in the mirror and say joel, you are well able, you are anointed, you are called to do this. i just talked to myself and it changes your attitude. >> evangelicals are a powerful force in politics. can i ask you what you think of this presidential contest? >> well, i think, you know, it's an interesting contest. it's a difficult time for america. and so we just -- i support -- i admire the candidates for running and the president and mitt romney for running. it's a hard job.

pray for our leaders. >> i've watched you for a long time and i've noticed you avoid politic. you don't talk about who you support. why is that? >> the reason, norah, is i feel like i'm called to reach the general public. and you start dividing yourself saying i'm a democrat, republican, whatever. 50% immediately don't agree. and i want to throw a broad message of hope to everyone, not somebody turn me off because of my political preference. >> what is your message for both the candidates, as you see it's been a very acrimonious political season, for both sides. >> for both sides, sure. i think my message would just be to keep it as civil as possible. i always like -- doesn't always happen, but to take the high road. let's treat each other with respect and the honor that every person deserves. people are passionate about politics. >> do you talk to both of the candidates? >> i have never met governor romney. but i've spoken with the president before. just as a friend and as somebody

that prays with him. >> did he call you? >> no, i attended one of his functions he w >> i attended one of his functions at the white house. >> so you will be voting on election day? >> i encourage everybody to vote. we all have our views and people of faith. we all have faith. some people see it different than others. the main thing is vote. i think once we vote, swallow the pride and support who is in office and pray for them and appreciate their service. >> joel, congratulations. "i declare: 31 promises to speak your life." goes on sale today. what do you think about the topless photos? >> it's a shame that is out. >> he goes, i don't think i'll touch that. i'll accept that. that might be the least exciting thing to happen to the

that island hasn't see a member of the royal family in decades. >> reporter: it seemed that much of the population of tuvalu, only 10,000 people in total, turned out to welcome the duke and duchess of cambridge today. they were carried on an elaborate homemade throne. the colorful scene was reminiscent of one 30 years ago when prince william's grandmother, queen elizabeth, visited this nation. back then, the queen and prince phillip were paddled ashore from their royal yacht. they were carried up the beach and right down the street in their respective canoes. just as the queen seemed relaxed in 1982, william and kate appeared totally at ease today. in fact, the topless photo scandal seems so far from these shores that a rather unusual photo on yesterday afternoon didn't seem at all out of place

to the folks there. back in europe, the grainy images of a topless kate hit more newsstands, while lawyers for the royal couple sought criminal charges for breach of privacy against the french magazine and the still unnamed photographer. today marks the last full day the of the couple's nine-day journey through asia to celebrate the queen's 60 years on the throne. kate, whose wardrobe has been a constant source of commentary, really got into it today, and so did the prince. both with a not so subtle nod to native dress. the royal couple got right to their royal duties, chatting and smiling to the delight of those gathered to catch a glimpse. this tour was designed to test and to introduce this young couple to the world as the next generation of royal diplomats. but with a release of those photos, they'd be tested in ways they never imagined. for "cbs this morning," seth doane, the solomon islands.

i like this trilogy is it's historical fiction. they are fictional characters. but you take us through history. and like this book. >> well, when i'm thinking about what to write, i always say i've got to give people something that they can't get on tv. because television drama is terrific, isn't it? it's well written. and it's easy. and i want people to read a book, so there must be something there they can't get in a more easy way. so as well as a great story that keeps people involved and turning the pages, i like them to put the book down and think well, i learned something from it as well as having a great ride. >> yes. >> that's how we view this show. >> it's synergy. >> do you worry about the translation? because i too read "pillars of the earth" and then watched the movie. do you worry about the translation of your books from the written word to the screen? >> always. >> do you get nervous about that? >> it's terrifying. because i've been so careful to

make sure that there are no boring bits, and the plot makes sense and it's logical, and that the story moves at the right pace, and then i have to hand it over to somebody else, a script writer and a director, and they might not be as careful as i am. sometimes they are. and "the pillars of the earth" was a great miniseries. but sometimes they do a bad job. and i'm sitting there, when the miniseries "lie down with the lions" was on tv, we were watching it and my own children left the room. that's how bad it was. but we all have the option. writers could say no, i'm not going to sell the film rights to my book. nobody ever does, though. >> what are the common themes that unite this book and the common characters and their experiences? >> well, it's the story -- the whole trilogy tells the story of the 20th century. i see that story as certainly the main theme is people

"the winter of the worlds" is about the second world war, but it's also about the spanish civil war and the situation of the soviet union. >> you mean the revolution in 1917? >> by the time of winter of the world, we're now at the height of stalin's power in the soviet union. so my russian characters, some of them are working for him and some of them are resenting his regime. so that's the overall theme, that this struggle that people had. early in "winter of the world", there's a riot in london, which really happened. it's called the battle of cable street, in which the british fascists tried to march through a jewish neighborhood in london. and the people of east london came out on the street and stopped them. even in london, we had a battle against fascism. >> who does the research? >> i do.

i do it all. i do have somebody who helps me find old books and old maps, photographs and film. but i have to read them myself. i look at them myself. and if i interview people, i do the interviews myself. other people wouldn't know what i was looking for. >> the beginning of the book, which i'm just starting, is the beginning of the rise of hitler and it's getting into world war ii. you interconnect all these families. how do you do that? how do you come up with all of these different families and bring them all together in a trilogy? >> well, it takes a long time. >> i know. i was waiting for the sequel for a few years. >> it is complicated to work out. and the challenge is integrating all these people into the history without giving a history lesson. because it's a novel, it's not a history lesson. so that's the challenge. and i spend a long time planning. more than any of my writer friends, i spend between six months in the year planning before i write chapter one.

and that's when i do the challenging task that you mentioned, weaving all the characters together. >> but is the writing easier once you have all that set in motion? >> yes. >> the command of language. >> yes, it does make it easier. what i'm trying to do is i'm trying to make sure there's never a moment when you think okay, now i'll close the book and go to sleep. so there's always got to be a new question in the reader's mind. whenever one question is answered, there must already be a new question so that people are thinking oh, my goodness, i wonder what's going to happen next. >> joel osteen was here and he was talking about the power of your words and the power of your thoughts. so here you are, you're starting as a newspaper reporter. were you thinking i want to be a great writer, i want to sell a lot of books? or is it all because of a broken down car? >> you've heard that story. i wanted to be -- as a young man, what i wanted to be was editor of the "times." >> "the london times." >> yeah.

and my car broke down. broke down radically, as they say in california. and i couldn't get it fix. but i had a friend who had written a report on my thriller. >> and was doing okay, huh? >> and he got 200 pounds from his publisher. and 200 pounds was what i needed to fix my car. so i thought i'm going to write a thriller. my first wife mary, when i told her this, she said oh yeah. >> notice he said first wife. >> the next book? >> the next book is called "edge of eternity" and it's about the cold war. starts in 1961. >> and goes until? >> 1989, the year that the berlin wall fell and the cold war ended and communism came to an end. >> ken follett, thank you. "winter of the world" is the book. we'll see you tomorrow right here on "cbs this morning." ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
