8:03 am
the bad news is that it is only 15% contained and firefighters are not being helped by the weather. pushed by strong winds, the wildfire in northern california santa cruz mountains has been growing steadily. it has now burned across eight straight miles and left thousands of homeowners on edge. >> looks like a war scene, people evacuating and this big blowing mass in the north sky. >> reporter: the fire is now burning toward the town of bonny doon. its residents among 2400 who have evacuated their homes. >> there could be a major problem for bonny doon including our house. >> there is a lot of homes in its path. we're talking between 600 and 1,000 homes. that's a big deal for us. >> reporter: this fire is being fueled by thick undergrowth and a tinder dry forest. for firefighters it particularly challenging to fight because of the steep hillsides and rugged canyons. much of the battle has been from the air, helping fire crews who
8:04 am
made their stand around the many homes scattered in the canyons. >> i'm tired. i'm shot right now. but we saved a house. it is worth every penny of it. >> reporter: costs are a concern in a state with huge budget problems. california recently cut $27 million from its fire fighting budget. officials say they'll buy less new equipment, but spend as much as they need to on the fire lines. now, fire crews have come from all over the state to fight this fire. later this morning, governor arnold schwarzenegger is coming to fire headquarters here to be briefed on this blaze and others burning across the state. chris? >> john you talked earlier in your report about containment being a problem. what about the weather now as far as later on today and going forward this week? what are we looking at? >> reporter: well overnight, again, we're lucky here. the winds have calmed down. but the winds have been a big problem here. and looking forward to this weekend, the fire bosses are quite worried about the weather. strong winds through the weekend and winds in the wrong direction

8:08 am
nationals. >> anybody who is willing to kill innocent afghans is not here thinking about the good of the afghan people. >> reporter: the timing of the attack is particularly significant. just five days before the presidential elections. the city had been readied for an attack with increased security ahead of thursday's vote. the taliban has called on afghans not to vote and they have threatened more violence to disrupt election day. priya? >> mandy, thank you so much. the air traffic controller chatting on the phone at the time of last week's deadly crash over the hudson river was apparently talking about a dead cat at the airport. officials say the controller at first warned -- failed to warn the plane's pilot of the other aircraft in its path. he then tried to contact the pilot just before the accident but was unsuccessful. nine people were killed when the plane collided with a tour helicopter. and when you think about family planning this isn't usually what you have in mind.

8:11 am
after his felony conviction for running a brutal dogfighting ring. james brown spoke at length with vick in an exclusive interview airing tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m. eastern time on cbs' "60 minutes." i sat down with j.b. and asked him what's in store for the eagles organization now that they signed a player like vick. >> in terms of sizing up the impact they can expect some reaction from the populous. especially the animal rights lovers out there for sure. it is not going to be an easy road to hoe. >> a distraction to say the least, not only for the other players on the team the city of philadelphia. do you think they're all ready for what this all encompasses, bringing this guy, this is a lightning rod issue with michael vick. >> i think it continues to be seen. the parameters the team was look for was a strong organization, jeff lurie, the team owner, a strong solid citizen to say the least, andy reid a very strong coach, for sure a quarterback entrenched not threatened by michael vick and donovan mcnabb, the starting quarterback,
8:12 am
lobbied to bring michael vick there as well too. so at least they have done their homework and feel comfortable with the likes of former nfl coach tony dungy being involved. they made a good decision. >> you spoke obviously exclusively with michael vick for 60 minutes. let's listen to his sound bite an excerpt from the interview. >> it was wrong, j.b. and, you know i feel you know i feel you know tremendous hurt behind what happened. and, you know i should have took the initiative to stop it all, you know and i didn't. i didn't step up. i wasn't a leader. >> okay. we know he's sitting down for an interview with you. did you get a feeling, you know this man, you've been in the league long enough and experienced enough of the players and interviewed them did he seen genuinely remorseful? >> one thing i tried to do throughout this is maintain a reporter's cap of impartiality. i want i wanted people to look at interview and judge for themselves.
8:13 am
he stated consistently and believably he was the one responsible, not blaming anyone else. number two, he talked about being introduced to the sport, if you will not a sport, it shouldn't be characterized as such, but to dogfighting at an early age. he didn't see anything wrong with it because older people had introduced him to it. thirdly, he recognizes the error of his ways he's apologized for it. and, fourth he's passionately committed to making certain he impacts youngsters in urban markets around the country by going talk with them. >> he's got no leeway here. is he mentally ready to handle all this not only getting back into the league all the backlash. it is tough to play in the nfl when you go to visiting stadiums. and something like this philadelphia is a tough place to play, been in prison the last 18 months as well is he ready for this? >> a fair question to ask. it remains to be seen the answer. tony dungy said i don't think mike vick you understand how serious a challenge it will be. it will be an uphill road to climb. number two, if you look at how he handled things in atlanta, he
8:14 am
displayed a ferret aair amount of hubris and arrogance. so he's aware of the fact of the matter is how he deals with under fire remains to be seen. >> j.b. thanks we appreciate it. >> good to be here with this quarterback, you. >> you can see his interview with michael vick on "60 minutes" this sunday at 7:00 p.m. eastern on cbs. >> all eyes on philadelphia this season. up next, jon and kate plus some cops? the latest on that 911 call that brought police to their home. plus hollywood's new fall guy, harry hurt is off to stunt school. is he in for a world of hurt?

8:47 am
legs. everyone is like i want to lift my gluts, work that lady -- that lady on the tape said her inner thighs. we'll get the front, the back, the gluts, inner and outer. take our arms out in front, squeeze the shoulder blades abs are super tight. we'll take a lunge forward. press through the heel of the foot come back to a balance. take a squat side. five six, seven, eight. yeah. >> i squat, lunge, come back -- wait, i lift. >> go to the side. work on that core stability. >> up and then -- >> come on guys. up and take it back. think of a clock. 12:00 to the front. 12:00 and 3:00. >> did we mention sarah is also a dancer. >> and 6:00. that's it. so we're working our quad, through the heel into the gluts. now we're going to do outer and inner thighs when we go to the
8:48 am
sides, and, again, quad. that's for our legs. this is a really safe and effective back exercise that is going to combat that area where you get that flabby back stuff. >> and help your posture, right? >> exactly. face down. you're going to lengthen and lift your opposite arm and leg and then lengthen it through the spine as you go down. lengthen and lif opposite arm and leg, so you should feel that right in here in your low back. up with the chest, and down. and up in the chest, feel that? >> i do. >> what is the best way to cheat in an exercise like this? >> come on to your side. and now we're going to do another core exercise. with abs, it is not just about crunches. it is not just that flexion and extension. we want to use the whole body weight to come up to a side plank. from here come right into a
8:49 am
plank position so you're square. come back and down. big lift up. >> you can throw a little push-up in there. >> little push-up. lunge. >> and down. so again, belly button pressing into the spine, chest is open. take the top leg up i'll keep working on this. meantime, for more on these kerr exercises, you can find them on our website, cbsnews.com/saturday. >> singer songwriter mindy smith is next in our "second cup cafe" with a song that launched her career. i'm out of breath, but we'll be right back. ♪ oh ♪ announcer: say hello to the can-doers. - the budget masters. - ♪ yeah yeah ♪ the knock-out artists who are finding more ways to spread their dollar further. - to bolder color in less time. - ♪ are you feeling it? ♪ say hello to newer ideas and lowered prices enabling more people

9:03 am
help in the fire that is burning here, that now burned across some eight square miles in these hills. it certainly worries the 2400 people or so who have been evacuated from their homes here. and they're being told that this fire is only 15% contained. and it could burn for as long as another couple of weeks. this is such rugged territory that much of fire fighting here is being done from the air. the main job of firefighters on the grounds to put a perimeter around homes to protect homes so far they have done that successfully no homes have been destroyed in this fire. but the fire is still moving toward the major population center that's bonny doon and there are hundreds of homes there. now later this morning, governor arnold schwarzenegger is going to be visiting fire headquarters here. to be briefed on this fire and others burning across the state as part of the state's budget crisis, the gover cut many parts of the budget including the budget for new fire fighting equipment. however fire managers say that
9:04 am
there have been no cuts to spending for fire fighting on the front lines on the ground and that they have everything they knead here now. priya. >> john we have seen so many homes burned in blazes like this in the past. we know you'll be keeping an eye on it for us. thanks. president barack obama brought his health care plan campaign to montana on friday where he also took shots at the media for its coverage of town hall protests. cbs news white house correspondent chip reid is traveling with the president and has the latest now from big sky montana. >> reporter: well good morning, priya. the president came here to big sky country for a town hall meeting, his critics had been predicting that he would finally see the rage over health care reform face to face. in fact though he was met by a very friendly audience. people in favor of health care reform for the most part a couple of tough questions, but mostly big support. one reason for that is that the democrats snapped up all the tickets, got in line early. the president spends part of today touring yellowstone
9:05 am
national park with his family wife michelle and daughters sasha and malia and heads to western colorado for another town hall meeting and we'll see if he gets as friendly a reception there as he did here. back to you. seven afghanis have been killed and 19 wounded in a suicide car bombing in kabul. the explosion comes just five days before presidential elections. the bomber was able to penetrate a heavily guarded neighborhood and detonate his device outside the headquarters of u.s. and nato troops. the taliban have claimed responsibility. and separated reality tv stars jon and kate gosselin are stl having trouble getting along. police were called to their pennsylvania home thursday night to quell a raging argument. the couple was reportedly got into a shouting match over who would spend the night with their eight children. kate called the police when the argument escalated, eventually things calmed down. there were no arrested and no tickets were issued. and with that morning dose of
9:06 am
reality drama, over to erica with today's early line. >> priya, thanks. speaking of drama, who knew health care reform could get so heated. we seen the town hall meetings that turned into shouting matches with citizens venting outrage. remember this? >> i don't believe this is just about health care. it is not about t.a.r.p. it is not about left and right. this is about the systemic dismantling of this country. i'm only 35 years old, i've never been interested in politics. you have awakened a sleeping giant. we are tired of this. this is why everybody in this room is so ticked off. i don't want this country turning into russia turning into a socialized country. >> so you heard it right there. what you've been hearing is health care reform is it really all about health care or something else at play? the debate is even dividing families like the wood house brothers. joining us this mornin our man
9:07 am
down the middle mike allen from politico.com. good to have all of you with us this morning. dallas i want to start with you. is the concern out there, and we should point out too not all the town halls got heated but is the concern out there about health care or is there a larger issue in. >> i think the issue is whether we are going to have a free market health care system or a complete government takeover of health care. i believe it actually very much is about health care. it is a very personal issue to people all across the country and they do not trust the government to take over health care. the difference between like my brother and i, my brother thinks that the administration can do a better job than some other administration running the health care system where we are distrustful of any government same government that can't get water to thirsty people in a hurricane, running the health care system. >> you don't want a government intervention at all. you think this is about the healthcare.
9:08 am
we heard that woman mention the fact she's concerned about things like t.a.r.p. she went on to mention the constitution later on. brad is there an understanding among democrats that this may in fact, for some people be about more than health care may be abouthe president himself? >> well look i think there is some confusion out there. i think there are a lot of people who have legitimate concerns. who are coming to these town hall meetings. but let me just say this for groups like my brother's and groups ail ss allied with him and people like senator jim demint, they have one goal it seems to me and that is to break the president there was a conference call with groups like my brother's this week that said they didn't want any reform the president would sign. it wasn't about trying to get this in a place they like they want to make sure the president failed much like rush limbaugh said earlier this year. i do think there is -- >> you have different views here, i'll point out. mike, i want to bring you in though. you are at the white house. you see how they're dealing with
9:09 am
this every day. have you noticed a change in the president's message, a change in the way the president is going about this because of the reaction that we have seen at the town hall meetings the last couple of weeks? >> erica, there certainly has been. i'm imagining what the woodhouse thanksgiving is going to be like. >> loud very loud. you're welcome to come. >> the white house recognizes that their initial message, these were extremists at these town meetings who have hd been put up to this would not fly. they're letting out their frustrations about the sweep of the mandate. you can turn people out, put people on the bus, but you can't get people to speak with this kind of passion. so what the white house hopes is that people will use this few weeks, this month to vent. there are 500, if you can believe it 500 more of these town meetings the rest of the month. they hope when members get back
9:10 am
to washington they'll be able to talk about an endgame. i can tell you, this has been a break, whatever the president signs will be much smaller than what he initially hoped for. >> that is something we'll all be watching. we have about 15 seconds left. if you can split that go ahead. >> i want to say this -- >> i i wantwant the president tozsident to succeed with health care reform. we'll sit down with the president, have a beer and i'll talk to the president about free market reform, tax savings accounts buying insurance across state lines. set it up. picnic table -- >> dallas give brad his time too. are you up for the beer summit? >> we heard all of this stuff before. this is stuff proposed over the past eight years, more people lost insurance, more people were denied for pre-existing conditions. deep down my brother doesn't want the president to be successful at anything if he would be honest about it. >> i want him to be successful at free market reform for health care giving more people power
9:11 am
and not raising taxes in a recession and we can do it through the picnic table summit. >> good luck at getting a word in edgewise. >> thank you. >> a heated and animated holiday. good that you two still love each other very much though. mike, great to have you here. thanks for weighing in too. >> happy weekend. good luck refereeing. >> there is much more to come on this health care debate and not just for the woodhouse family. we'll cover it for you here at "the early show" and on cbs news. now to lonnie quinn on the plaza with a very special group of kids and they're not talking health care. >> you did a great job driving that bus. it was 40 years ago this very weekend, over 100 miles north of here that nearly half a million people converged on bethlehem, new york, for three days of mud loving music, known as woodstock. here to celebrate that anniversary, we have a group of young rockers from something called the school of rock. matt ross you're the ceo of school of rock. listen, i understand the school
9:12 am
of rock is more than just an after school program where you teach kids to play music. it is more right? >> we get them on stage, get them to play live too. not just private lessons, get them on stage, get them to feel what it is like to be a musician. >> you do rock concerts during the year, right? >> yeah. >> that's cool. it is not just new york city. it is all over right? >> every point of the country covered. portland vista, california boston, miami, new york. we're playing tomorrow on 48th street here live. >> that's the free concert we'll give you a preview of now. they're going to be doing a class fricke wood classic from woodstock. this is "me and bobby mcgee." ♪ baton rouge waited for a train ♪ ♪ and i bobby came to town just before it rained ♪ ♪ and rode all the way to new orleans ♪ ♪ i pulled my harpoon

9:14 am
>> our very own janice joplin look-alike out there. thanks so much. up next a super successful college basketball coach and the indiscretion he had six years ago. is an apology enough? should rick pitino keep his job. we'll be right back. how many washes did it take cheer brightclean to get this from dingy to bright? ten. seven. it's six. why? why is... one... yeah! hundred. no. cheer brightclean. surprisingly bright in just one wash.. unlock an outdoor

9:17 am
9:18 am
his choices. pitino is married with five children. he apologized for what he called an indiscretion when reports surfaced of a pregnancy and a payment for an abortion. the university is sticking by pitino for now but he still could be dismissed for violating the morality clause in his contract. eric kauffman and lisa bloom are here. both of them join us. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> eric i start with you. what are people most upset about with this case? you've been covering this. >> i think you mentioned it. i think the whole abortion issue, if there is any issue in the state of kentucky that may run deeper than basketball college basketball that may be it. and it is really caused some strong reaction and i think, you know we hear about public figures and these type of indiscretions all the time. but that issue further complicates it here in these parts. >> you're president of a local university james ramsey said pitino is our guy, sticking by him for now. but with every embarrassing
9:19 am
revelation that seems to surface, is there potential here co-lose his job? >> i don't think so. unless there is always a possibility that something else could come out and i think that's what people are watching for. but from what we know now, i don't see the university taking any action. i think the real question is what pitino himself may decide to do in the coming days or weeks. >> there has to be a sense of embarrassment here. we know how influential boosters and other supporters of universities are. this is a huge embarrassment on the university now. is that your sense? >> absolutely. from a lot of fans and from a lot of as you said boosters. but it is -- i talked to a fan yesterday who said he started to put his louisville shirt on and thought twice of it. when guys at home are thinking that, it is not a good thing. it has been a strong and not an insignificant percentage of the fans who had a negative response. >> lisa let me bring you in now and talk about the legality. language in the contract extension says the 56-year-old basketball coach can be dismissed for acts of moral depravity or behavior that would
9:20 am
bring disrepute or scandal. could he lose -- does the school have something here if they want to go after him and said you know, we had enough in. >> there are two types of moral depravity clauses and they're common in high profile contracts like this one. one is you can only be fired for acts of moral depravity that are also illegal. that's the narrower type of clause. here we have the broader clause that says anything that would tend to bring the university into disrepute. so i think they would be on strong grounds if they chose to terminate him. they can say this has been an embarrassment to the university. everyone looks ascant of the university now. his response would be look what i did was a private consensual adult act on my own time, abortion is a legal activity that took place in the state of kentucky and it would be wrong to fire him. i think the university would be on strong grounds if they chose to terminate him. >> the woman involved here could she face jail time? there is an extortion here as well that aspect which we haven't talked about much. trying to extort $10 million from rick pitino. >> absolutely. she's going to be charged with
9:21 am
extortion, as well as lying to an fbi agent. she is facing seven years behind bars and her story has continued to evolve. she now says her current husband married her to keep her quiet, had a daughter with him. her claims have become more and more preposterous. she needs more and more evidence to support them. i don't see that at this point. that could get a lot of sympathy to pitino even if he did something wrong, if he comes out to be a victim of a crime. they may not want to terminate him. he may get sympathy on his side. >> a salacious case and we have not heard the last of it yet. eric kauffman thank you very much and lisa bloom, we appreciate t thanks again. coming up under the radar. the pooch is loose. canine chaos on the set. live television kids animals, never a good thing. we'll show you when we come back. vo: you don't have to look for sales to save money. walmart checks other stores' prices
