7:03 am
welcome to cbs this morning. we begin with presidential politics. as mitt romney prepares what could be his most important speech of the campaign. >> after losing three contests this week to rick santorum, romney's addressing cpac today. national correspondent chip reid is in washington. chip, good morning. >> good morning, erica and charlie. four years ago mitt romney dropped out of the presidential race at the cpac conference. back then it was a disappointment to conservatives because he was considered the conservative alternative to john mccain. well, what a difference four years makes. now, romney is struggling to convince the same group of conservatives that he is one of them. if you're looking for red meat conservative politics, this is the place. >> we must outsmart the liberals, we must outsmart the stupid people that are trying to ruin america. >> and to get this crowd's
7:04 am
support, mitt romney has a lot of work to do. according to ralph reed, former executive director of the christian coalition. >> he's got to gain not just the acquiescence of, but the enthusiasm of social and tea party conservatives in order to win in november should he be the mom knee. >> for many, that doesn't come easy. would you say you're for romney at this point in. >> of the people who are around, yes. >> that does not sound like a ring endorsement. >> well, mo. charlie earl of ohio supported romney four years ago but now he's not so sure. >> you'd like to see romney be more forceful, more direct about where he actually stands. because he does have some questionable background as far as, the flipflopping type thing. >> romney needs to make a major course connection in the speech today according to andrew breitbart. >> he has an opportunity here to potentially connect with a group of people that i think he's
7:05 am
actively pursued a strategy not to connect with. >> romney also has to deal with the conservative challenge from rick santorum who is coming off victories in three states and who ripped into romney thursday in oklahoma city. >> he's not interested in talking about the issues. he's interested in trying to pander. >> santorum speaks at the conference today and so does newt gingrich and charlie, and erica, they will both be doing everything they can to try to steal mitt romney's thunder. >> chip, thanks. with us now is national journal white house correspondent major garrett. >> good morning. great to be with you. >> what can mitt romney say that will answer some of the questions the conservatives have. >> what mitt romney is going to say, let's agree on the things we already agree on and use that as a springboard for you to get closer to my candidacy. spending, taxes, reducing the size and scope of government. the romney campaign believes those issues are the ones that lay best for him with these conservative activists, the ones
7:06 am
they'll be most receptive too to and that will be the sum total of his speech. concentrate on what we agree on, look at possibility of results if you make me your president. >> is it the fact that they question his credibility as a conservative rather than a specific disagreement on a particular issue? >> they question not only his credibility as a conservative but his conviction and underlying passion to carry out those things and to stick with conservative ideas and principles when the going gets tough. as these conservative activists know it inevitably will. the campaign will see we're good at tack ix, not messagesing. i wrote a national journal in mid-december that romney's problem was he was misaligned term permently and -- i was wrong about gingrich. i think i'm still right about this misalignment problem. >> there was good news for rick
7:07 am
santorum this week. >> certainly. >> where does it stand between santorum and gingrich to be the conservative alternative? >> look, gingrich era was down. i think it's going to be perpetually down. i could be wrong another time, a second time. i believe this is the ending of his campaign. he'll give a good speech but what activists are looking for, can they rally around santorum? is santorum the guy, if gingrich falls out, get to that 30% fresh hold and beat romney more often than not. what santorum needs to do is create an atmosphere around him, a sense of energy that translates at the grassroots level and money in his bank account why has it been so hard for conservatives, it is february 7th to find someone if it's not in this crop of candidates to even bring someone else in. the campaign didn't creep up on them. >> no it did not. there were several reports yesterday and we have a national journal.com this morning. if republicans at this political
7:08 am
action conference saying i'm still not satisfied with the field. the polling data still reflects that. there's talk as late as i've seen it about someone coming in at last minute or brokered convention. all of this it hard to predict and because of that, the romney challenge and undermining of his credibility is real and the possible santorum rise is ee equally real. >> is this question of birth control and the catholics becoming a major issue for conservatives in. >> it's becoming a major issue for conservatives. i would think about that issue carefully and look at the way republicans are talking approximate it. they don't talk about contraception. they talk about what they believe is a bigger issue, religious liberty. they don't want to talk about the underlying -- by about seven or eight points with women voters. you cannot win the presidency unless you're within 8 points of women voters.
7:09 am
this issue cuts very differently and not so positively for republicans when you talk about the underlying policy of contraception. that's why there's a huge focus on religious liberty. >> we'll be talking about it a little bit more this morning. major, nice to have you with us. the chairman of the house financial services committee is reportedly under investigation for possibly violating insider trading laws. republicans spencer bachus was one of several members of congress who were the focus of a "60 minutes" story in november. yesterday the house passed legislation to stop potential insider trading by lawmakers. the white house is ready to soften the order to cover birth control in employee health insurance. >> president obama's decision has been denounced. norah o'donnell is with us now. norah good morning. >> good morning. cbs news learned that president obama as early as today, could announce some new guidelines dealing with this contraception
7:10 am
policy. this follows what has been an internal debate within the white house that pitted some of the male advisers including vice president biden and former chief of staff bill dailey against some of the female advisers. in the end, the president moved forward on the rule which is already law in a majority of the states in this country. 28 states. we're expecting more as they think there's been a lot of misunderstanding about this policy. >> the president was meeting with the prime minister of italy in the oval office thursday. but when peppered with questions on the red hot controversy over kron tra accepting, he refused to comment. >> come on, guys. thank you. his vice president, joe biden, in the swing state of ohio for the first time signalled the white house is concerned about the fallout. >> as a practicing catholic, i am of the view that this can be worked out and should be worked out. i think the president, i know the president feels the same way. >> biden was responding to criticism from new york cardinal
7:11 am
designate timothy dolan on "cbs this morning." >> this was a terrible, terribly misguided judgment. >> as the white house works out a compromise, they are taking relentless fire from republicans like mitt romney on fox. >> i think the administration has way overstepped the bounds here and i think they're going to have to retreat. >> and from republicans gathered in washington tore the annual conservative political action conference. >> the obama administration's war on faith must be defeated. we must win this war. >> and now even some democrats are publicly criticizing the white house, including former democratic national committee chairman tim cain of virginia and three democratic senators. the white house did get support from democratic women in congress who called the debate photographer contraception for women ridiculous. >> the polls have clearly stated that most americans, including catholics, including men and
7:12 am
women, say that this ought to be an available service. >> now, in terms of this presidential announcement that could happen today, what would the compromise look like? it could largely follow what exists in a majority of states, 28 states, like in illinois, the largest catholic university in the country, depaul university does offer a plan to employees that covers contraception. georgetown university also offers a plan covering contraception. that is a likely model that they could follow. >> is there an expectation that this will satisfy those who have been so angry about this rule? >> probably not. certainly not those on the right -- i think politically speaking, this white house feels they're in a good place with suburban women and a lot of swing states like pennsylvania, colorado and others. they don't think there will be the political backlash that some predicted. norah, thanks. the crisis in syria is spreading.
7:13 am
bombs went off in aleppo, state tv says at least 24 people died and rebels in the city of homs says bashar al assad wants to wipe out all opposition. we have a video blog of a week of constant army attacks. >> you see over there, another rocket landed on the civilian houses. this is happening every day. this is happening -- where is the u.n. where is the humanity? where is america? are we animals dying here? are we supposed to live like this our whole life? >> about two years old. he got hit with a bomb in his house. is this what the u.s. waited for? is this what the u.n. waiting for? >> our foreign correspondent clarissa ward is reporting inside syria. she has a story of rebels in one town fighting to overthrow the 40-year dictatorship.
7:14 am
>> they march together carrying their dead on their shoulders. steady stream of men united in grief and defiancdefiance. >> god is great they cry. give us revenge on bashar. they honored not only the fallen but also the bravest among them who fought in a gun battle yesterday. the rebel fighters try tried to overrun a checkpoint. four men were killed. several others injured. the funeral procession poured into the main square. >> you can see behind me the entire community has gathered here to lay to rest two of the men another smaller body was carried in. locals say this ten-year-old boy was killed in the crossfire. heaven loves the martyrs they
7:15 am
shouted. the procession moved towards the burial grounds defiantly marching past a syrian army camp. armed rebel fighters walked alongside to offer protection and snipers kept guard in high places all around. as the last mourners were leaving, syrian army tanks rolled in. shots rang out. the streets emptied and the fighters scrambled to get to safer ground. life here now is a cycle of funerals and gun battles. normal routines have been on hold for months. schools are closed. garbage collection is done by overstretched volunteers and the -- >> cell phone not work? >> it don't work. >> mobile does not work? >> internet does not work in. >> the internet has been switched off for three days, he said. people here worry that cutting them off from the world is the first step in an all-out government assault on the city. when we were on the streets, we
7:16 am
saw tanks rolling around. we've also heard reports from the rebel fighters who were with and more tanks amassing at a military training camp in the center of the city. but it's still not clear what president assad's army has in tore for this city. for "cbs this morning," clarissa ward, syria. here in the u.s., we have new details from the massive mortgage settlement between 49 states and five major banks. on thursday, president obama praised the $26 billion deal to help struggling homeowners. >> we have reached a landmark settlement with the nation's largest banks that will speed relief to the hardest hit homeowners and some of the most abusive practices of the mortgage industry and begin to turn the page on an era of recklessness that left so much damage in its wake. >> business and economics correspondent rebecca jarvis is with us. good morning. >> good morning. >> how will this money be spent? >> a billion dollars of that $26 billion figure will go to the
7:17 am
federal housing authority. the rest of the $25 billion goes to homeowners. $17 billion will go towards principal reduction on mortgages. $3 billion of that towards refinancing. $1.5 billion of that towards payouts for foreclosures. this is the up to $2,000 that the 750,000 homeowners may see as a result of being foreclosed on. this is on a first come first serve basis. lastly, $3.5 billion will go towards state and federal governments to deal with foreclosures. >> how long before the homeowners see the relief? >> it could be as many as three years away. there's a timeline that could be up to three years. but banks are receiving some credit if they can get it done faster. if they can do it in a year, they'll get points for that. by two years out, three quarters of all the money must be given out out by the banks. time to show you some of the headlines around the globe. the los angeles times reports

i saw this picture online today. this is arnold schwarzenegger personal photo. it's him and sylvester stallone in the hospital together. the truth is arnold schwarzenegger asked stallone to be there in case maria came with a scalpel. we welcome back to "cbs this morning." we're learning revealing details from the secret fbi file on steve jobs. >> including what his friends and co-workers really thought of apple's ceo. some of it not exactly so nice. but moore is outside fbi headquarters in washington with more on what was in the files.
7:31 am
bob, good morning. >> good morning, erica and charlie. the file is being released under the freedom of information act. it gives us new insights into apple founder steve jobs. across the board, people thought he was a genius. people thought he could be stubborn and demandingment one worker at apple computer called jobs a deceptive individual who is not completely forthright and honest. another colleague defended jobs, saying he was a man of high moral character and integrity. but multiple friends and associates warned he could be abrasive and had a tendency to distort reality in order to achieve his goals. the comments come from a 191-page file the fbi compiled in 1991. agents were conducting a background check after president george h.w. bush appointed jobs to the president's export council. the two dozen plus people interviewed universally said jobs, while not perfect, was a worthy presidential adviser. but one co-worker sin cli noted honesty and integrity are not required qualities to hold the
7:32 am
position. there were troubles in his personal life. one colleague said jobs mistreated a daughter he had out of wedlock by failing to support her. but added recently he has been more supportive. he was a c-plus high school student with a 2.65 grade point average and jobs admitted to the fbi that he was a casual drug user in the early '70s and experimented with marijuana, hashish and lsd. he assured agents he never sold any drugs and was never convicted of a crime. the file, though, does reveal jobs was the target of extortion. these handwritten notes were made by the fbi in 1985 after someone phoned in a bomb threat targeting jobs and apple. the caller who demanded a million dollars was never paid and never found. we also found out that jobs spent some time working with the government. we think on saturday light-related programs. in 1988 for two years he had a top secret clearance. that cleern was taken away in
7:33 am
1990 when his work was done. we've been asked if jobs knew he had a file. that's not clear. he must have had a hint because he cooperated with the investigation. he was interviewed in 1991. bob, thanks so much. adam lashinsky is a senior editor at large. his book is hitting the new york times and wall street journal best seller lists this weekend. good morning. >> good morning. >> does this fit the profile of steve jobs that you know? any surprises? >> it fits him absolutely. the surprise is how absolutely consistent this man was. in his background check, he was in between stints at apple. he was an important person but not as important as he would become. my favorite part of this, charlie, is that he actually kept the fbi waiting for three weeks. he told them he was too busy to do an interview. remember, this was not when he was at apple. >> he didn't have a choice not
7:34 am
to do the interview if he wanted the job. >> yeah. but he was in no hurry to accommodate the fbi. it's hard to fathom a normal person telling the fbi, yeah i'll sit for the interview but i'm busy right now. >> one of the things that sticks out is the people said he could distort reality a lot. is that something you had found? >> sure. jobs' reality distortion field was famous and his ability to bend people into his way of thinking. to convince the people working for him that they could do something that they didn't think was possible. but he also pushed the limits in his business dealings. he was famous for this over the many years that he would tell people what he wanted them to know and it's behavior that he would do at apple and is common at apple as well. apple creates it own reality, that's part of its yegenius as
7:35 am
marketing company. one is a criticism about his behavior with his daughter but that's also a place where he came back together with her before he died. >> that's right. his first child was an illegitimate child and he didn't want anything to do with her at first. he came around as he got older and in fact, in his later years, he was quite close with her and very supportive of her. but this was an example of him as a young immature man not wanting to be involved. >> what's interesting is that probably the same things that made him difficult are what made him a genius. >> there's no question. he was a visionary. he was a narcissist. he wanted to do things his way and he really wasn't interested in other people's way. that's sort of textbook definition of a creative genius who is going to do something that the rest of us can't see. this is a company that does things that the rest of us can't see because his dna is in that company. >> adam lashinsky thank you so
7:36 am
much for joining us this morning. >> thank you very much. it may be the only honor sir paul mccartney hadn't had until now. get ago a star on the hollywood walk of fame. he took care of that yesterday. he'll tell us about the inspiration for his new album when we return. you're watching "cbs this morning." ask me what it's like when my tempurpedic moves?

ford joins us now. good morning. >> good morning. >> put this testimony in context for us. >> generally speaking when somebody is being tried, you can't bring in evidence of bad things that they've done in the past. the idea is we're going to try somebody based upon the facts and the circumstances. there are exceptions. one is if you can show a patd earn of conduct that helps to explain this. that's why the prosecution is setting the stage showing this pattern. evidenced by the friends saying that george huguely was strangled her in an episode before the e-mail that you mentioned about i should have killed you. these are all things that the prosecution wants because they've got to convince this jury that a guy who doesn't look like a killer in an environment that doesn't lend itself to murders is in fact a murderer. >> what's the defense strategy. >> interestingly, they're saying to the jury, look, this is an accident. a horrible, terrible tragedy. they did something interesting. in the opening statement, the defense attorneys, usually they're saying shall patient,
8:05 am
wait and listen, make sure the prosecution proves everything beyond a reasonable doubt. they conceded he's not walking out of the door without a guilty verdict. start looking at involuntary manslaughter. that's what they're suggesting it is. an accidental death in the midst of something that's reckless or dangerous conduct. it's a curious approach. an interesting approach. we're not asking them to say -- but come off of this murder. >> according to the defense and focus on the idea of involuntary manslaughter. >> you mention how rare that is. is thatting that has worked in the past? >> who knows? i think it's a smart move here. you know, jurors don't want to be played with. looking at this case, you have to realize something terrible happened. so i think if i'm a juror in this case, i'm saying they're being honest with me. they're not saying we want you to find him not guilty. they're saying focus on this. but the prosecution is saying no, no.

it's been a turbulent decade for the music industry and its millions of fans. new technology has made access to the songs we love easier. but it's also presented challenges for the record companies artists and fans around the world. so yesterday afternoon we had a discussion on these topics with four very different industry
8:44 am
insiders. four-time grammy award winner and one of the most successful executives and producers in music history. the one and only clive davis. grammy lifetime achievement award winner and legendary singer songwriter, smokey robinson with the pretty eyes. winner of the 2011 new artist, ez per anz a spalding and the producer, mark ronson. we sat down across the street from this building at l.a. live's club nokia. i'm cure krus about acurious abe of music. when did you know, esperanza, i love this? >> from birth. i rather hearing harry belafonte and stevie wonder christmas records every year that i can remember. and i would get my mom to play it early and leave it on long after. that's when it connected oh, something i can do. there's a love of it outside and then all of a sudden you go
8:45 am
maybe i can do that too. >> i can do that. for you smokey? >> i knew that i loved music from the time i could hear. i think the first voice that i ever remember hearing distinctly that i remember hearing and i had to be two or three years old, but i remember it, was sara vaughn. she and ella fitzgerald, like instantly. so i have loved music from the womb i guess. >> i like what you said they were like instruments, that they were true musicians. some of the critique we hear today about music is that there really are performers, artists, entertainers but not true musicians. how do you feel about that? >> well, you know, i have a pro and a con on that. because i hear people all the time knocking young people and new music and they're talking about well, you know, it's not like it used to be and so on and
8:46 am
so forth. okay, i heard that when we started motown. when barry started motown, i heard that. there's always people of a former generation who are going to say that. there are some wonderful young people making music now. there are some wonderful music being made. >> that might be true, but there is something to said about radio, its concentration on electronic and dance music is creating a void. where is the next bruce springsteen, where is the next bob dylan coming from, where is the next ballad singer coming from? i love the music. i love the music of today. i echo what smokey is saying. however, if it's music that's not giving birth to great people, you have to be somewhat concerned. >> with technology and everything done so digitally, it may be bad for business. but for the consumer buying it, they say this is great stuff.
8:47 am
is it possible to make it a win-win for everybody, do you think? >> i think in some ways i'm from this generation of music, what i do is a throwback. we record all our own records to tape because we love the sound of the record that smokey and motown made in that era. but at the same time, you have to be aware that your stuff, your record is not being printed on a thing like it's going to look this big on the itunes. i think that -- i don't know. it's hard. you can't really sit around griping and complaining about the way things are now. you just have to continue making good stuff and hope that your stuff stands apart from the crowd. and i still go to record shops. i still put on records. i still read notes. >> you mean online or know where there's a record shop? >> especially in england. there's more. >> do you have concerns about the music industry as we know it today? >> i have concerns about the
8:48 am
music industry because there was a time with napster where the public felt they should get music free. that was very dangerous. it was wrong. so now we're catching up, whereby the public realizes that creativity has got to be respected. music is as vital today in people's lives as it ever has been. >> as ronson would say, you're probably the newest grammy winner at the table. let's go back to that night. many people went what? >> first of all, i mean, it's sad to think of what we owe do as competitive. there's room for all kinds of music. if it's great, there's room for it. you were saying earlier how you love every kind of music. anything that reaches you is meaningful. >> i do. >> theoretically, we can see there's room for all these different musicians to be acknowledged. that's what i saw the nomination as. like you said, acknowledgment from my peers that what i'm
8:49 am
doing is of value. >> you're so beautifully spoken. we never met. i immediately went out to get your album. i was not aware of it before. and your artistry is special. but it's artists like you, i love -- >> after all this time, it's like you light up like a little kid, clive. when you talk about music. >> i might have said that i was not the musician that the three sitting at this table are and i found music as a passion unsuspectingly. but having found it, it has moved me and that's why i'm still doing it. >> are we excited about the grammys sunday night? is there anybody you're pulling for in particular mark? >> i think it feels like adele's night. i'm very happy to see heroin as many. she's up for 73 awards. including hawaiian. >> esperanza. >> i would like to see joe low van owe and -- it's been 20 years i think for carolyn
8:50 am
carrington was nominated. she's phenomenal. i hope it's her moment. >> smokey robinson? >> i always feel that it's such an honor to be nominated by your peers for this. i think that everybody who is nominated is a winner. >> smokey sm. >> i'm serious about that, gayle. everybody who is nominated deserves it. there were people who weren't nominated who deserve it. >> all right, clive? >> i agree overall with smokey. but this is the year of adele. what she stands for going against the trend, coming up with one hit after another with a voice that wreaks with soul and beauty. it's great for music, it's great for everyone. i think really this is the year of adele. >> i can't wait. don't forget to tune in for music's biggest night. you can watch the 54th grammy awards at 8:00, 7:00 central on
