good morning. it is wednesday, may 30, 2012. welcome to studio 57. at the cbs broadcast center. i'm charlie rose. mitt romney raises millions with donald trump in las vegas as texas's vote put him over the top. we'll ask former defense second donald rumsfeld what the united states should do to end the blood shed in syria. i'm erica hill. a newly discovered video could finally solve the mystery behind a newlywed's cruise ship disappearance. facebook fallout as the stock drops again. i'm gayle king. gold sellers beware. an investigation shows you may not be getting the best price for your music. and chely wright on the price she paid for coming out. we begin with a look at

today's "eye opener" your world in 90 seconds. >> this man is out of ideas, he's out of excuses. in november we'll make sure and vote him out of office. >> mitt romney takes texas, clinching the gop nomination. >> he's under fire for holding a fund-raiser in las vegas with donald trump. >> who is making headlines, again questioning president obama's citizenship. >> there are many people that don't agree with that birth certificate. they don't think it's authentic. >> i found that whole hawaii thing pretty implausible. >> the word for hello is the same for good-bye. [ bleep ]. >> in syria there are new reports of government troops shelling rebel-held areas this morning. >> the united states and nine other nations expelled syrian diplomats from their capitals. >> we don't believe further militarization of the situation in syria at this point is the right course of action. >> severe thunderstorms delivered damaging hail to the

oklahoma city area overnight. >> the storms knocked out power to more than 60,000 people. >> facebook stock's slide continues. it fell below $30 for the first time, down 21%. >> all the damn time and eye got to try to figure out how to vote for my people! >> going back near the wall. he got it! >> hey. you met damon? >> i'm the [ bleep ] quarterback, moron. >> you ever meet annoying kids. >> i got a whole bunch of kids. >> one night only, one hour only, regis and dave. >> get ahold of yourself. >> okay. >> and all that matters -- >> all these years later, he's still shaping that sound, still searching for a little bit of truth. >> on "cbs this morning." >> hard to raise a kid around biden? i would assume, like he's like the uncle that comes over and you're like, oh, we brought some guns. you know, that kind.

welcome to "cbs this morning." the republican presidential race is now over. mitt romney won the texas primary on tuesday, picking up enough delegates to clinch the nomination. >> cbs news estimates romney now has 1,198 gop delegates this morning. romney did not go to texas last night to celebrate. as jan crawford reports, instead he was busy raising big money with donald trump in las vegas. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. everything about donald trump is big, isn't it? including the money that he can raise for political campaigns. but i think the question for romney is whether trump can also cause some big headaches with that big mouth. last night in texas, mitt romney officially reached the magic number of delegates he needs for the gop nomination, but he was miles away in las vegas, where he kept his focus on president obama and the economy.

>> he's been a big disappointment, hasn't he? >> reporter: the former massachusetts governor was in the swing state of nevada, attending a $2 million fund-raiser hosted by donald trump, who's been raising money and bringing his celebrity to romney's campaign. but if raising money is what trump does best, he's also good at stirring up controversy. so on romney's day, there was the billionaire big talker continuing to question, in a phone interview with cnn, whether mr. obama was born in the united states. >> a lot of people don't think it was an authentic certificate. p>> that was reported, wolf, bu many people do not think it was authentic. >> reporter: trump's question last year made the president release his birth certificate. romneys he believes the president was born in america but he hasn't disavowed trump. last night newt gingrich, a

former rival-turned-supporter, came to romney's defense. >> governor romney is not distracted. the republican party is not distracted. we believe this is an american-born, job-killing president. other people may believe that he was born somewhere else and still kills jobs. >> reporter: now, also at last night's fund-raiser mitt romney melt with sheldon addleson. groups supporting romney need to keep up with the president's re-election effort because, charlie and erica, there is one thing that everyone agrees on, this general election is going to be a tough and expensive fight. >> jan crawford in washington, thanks. the u.n. human rights council is planning an emergency meeting. now there's evidence of a new massacre. >> this morning japan and turkey joined the united states in expelling syrian diplomats to protest the killing of dozens of women and children.

charlie d'agata is in london with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, erica. breaking news this morning out of syria. the u.n. mission reports the discovery of 13 bodies found with their hands tied behind their backs and signs some were shot at close range. more evidence of the violence nobody appears able to stop. u.n. envoy kofi annan the massacre at houla -- >> they're calling for action, not words. >> reporter: but a tipping point to what? today the u.n. security council will meet to discuss what, if anything, can be done to stop the blood shed in syria, reaching any kind of unified response would prove difficult. officials from russia and china reiterated today their categorically aposed to any military intervention and say it's too early for the u.n. to take any new measures. the french president said military action cannot be ruled out, though the u.s. has stopped

short. the horrific images of the onslaught in the city of houla apparently at the hands of syrian government prompted u.s. and other nations to expel top diplomats. bashar al assad's government denies any involvement. u.n. monitors reported some of the 108 people who died in friday's attacks were the victims of artillery fire. >> the majority have been the result of house-to-house summary executions of armed men going into houses and killing men, women and children inside. >> reporter: 34 women and 49 children by the u.n.'s count stabbed or shot dead at point-blank range. this woman who says she witnessed the massacre says they pointed guns at us and trapped us in a room like sheep before spraying us with bullets. syria's state-run media has been criticizing moves by the u.s.

and others to expel the diplomats, calling it unprecedented hysteria. the syrian government has begun its own investigation into the massacre but it's not clear whether the results will be made public. >> charlie d'agata, thank you. donald rumsfeld has been warning about the syrian threat for some time now. his bush administration memoir "known and unknown" is now in paper back. >> thank you very much. >> what should the united states do about syria and how should they do it? >> right now there's somebody in that administration undoubtedly looking at the full range of possibilities from doing nothing to using military force on the ground. and all those things in between, covert activity, working with kofi anan's effort, going more seriously with aggravation of countries that are likely to do something, do something from the air, as was done in libya. and where the intelligence undoubtedly will drive them to

one of those possibilities. >> is there a moral imperative and does it matter? >> it always matters when thousands of people are -- probably tens of thousands of people are being killed and massacred, which is what's taking place in that country. syria's important, of course, quite apart from the humanitarian aspect, is that it is a principle agent of iran in terms of causing difficulties in afghanistan, causing difficulties in iraq, funding terrorist organizations, causing enormous difficulties in lebanon. and the world, obviously, would be better off with the assad family out of there. but the question is, what comes next? and that's a very tough intelligence question. >> so, i mean, what's the point of decision, though? >> well, what they'll be doing is attempting to figure out what the opposition forces to the assad regime are, who they are, who's likely to prevail and what

happens afterwards? >> shouldn't we know that by now? >> i doubt it. it's hard. look at egypt. it's still not clear. the turmoil that takes place is one thing. and then when it's over, there are factions. and the faction that's the best organized and the most vicious, the most serious and best funded often prevails against what might be a majority view. >> president handles libya about right? >> i was uncomfortable with what was done. clearly, syria's more important than what took place in libya, from the standpoint of u.s. strategic interests. but the outcome is still not clear to me completely. you've got a country with a lot of oil, a lot of wealth and a bunch of factions and militias and elements that are competing to figure out what they're going to do. and i don't think the story on libya is written yet. these are tough things for administrations -- >> show a limit on what the

united states can do? >> oh, sure. i mean, we know that. it's enormously difficult. first of all, the intelligence side of it's very difficult. but the aftermath is difficult, trying to figure out how that's going to sort out. egypt is enormously important to the united states. and we still -- it's not quite clear what's going to happen there. there are factions. they're having elections. the role of the military and the post-mubarak government element is still unclear. they handled it fairly well. >> there were reports in 2003 there were preliminary planning about going into syria after iraq. president obama reportedly squashed those plans. is it for the same reason you brought up about what happens next? >> first of all, i don't ever recall anyone discussing that. >> so that's inaccurate? >> i didn't say that. what i know is what you said, i've never heard inside the government. the idea of going into syria. >> but if that had been done,

you as secretary of defense, someone would have talked to you about that? >> one would have thought. >> yes. we're clearing some things up here. has there ever been much discussion about syria because youed as far back as the '80s -- >> yeah, in the '80s i used to meet with assad's father. when i was president reagan's middle east envoy. it's a minority government, the a aloites, happening between the sunni and shia, the divide between two elements of the religion. and assad's regime has been brutal, vicious. his father killed, i don't know what, 10,000, 20,000 people back in -- decades ago. >> and got away with it. >> and got away with it, you bet. and i have no idea what the outcome here will be, but i think that you can say that nobody -- i mean, you look at the world -- the nations of the

world, they're not supporting assad and his butchery. on the other hand, what would come out of it is not clear. >> and the russians are opposed to any intervention. >> the russians have been supporters of iran, supporters of syria and have a long relation -- >> let me move to the administration and their foreign policy. "the new york times" in a big story talking about how these assassinations and use of other anti-terrorist activities have come about in the obama administration said, quote, nothing else in mr. obama's first term has baffled liberal supporters and con founded conservative critics as his aggressive counterterrorism record. they're saying that this president, even more than the president you served, has been effective in fighting terrorism and been willing to take it even further. >> well, i don't know that that's the case, even further.

there's no question but that the president bush was very strongly working the war on terror. >> but it has been confounded conservative critics because they say, we like what he's doing. >> obviously, the killing of osama bin laden was a good thing for the world. this is the face of al qaeda and terrorism. but one has to remember that the obama administration has the benefit of the capabilities that were invested in and developed in terms of drones, in terms of the terrorist structure, antiterrorist structure that was put in place, the special operations forces, the intelligence capabilities. so he's able to do things because of the investments that were made in that administration. >> have you talked to governor romney about foreign policy? >> no. >> you're not advising him in any way? >> i have not been. >> you might? >> well, i'm certainly for him. >> well, what is going to be -- you were also the former chief of staff for president ford, so you know a bit about politics.

>> back in the 1960s. >> so, what's this race about? >> this race is about leadership. it is going to be, because of the behavior of our government over a period of time of incurring trillions of dollars of debt and deficits, it has to be about the economy and has to be about jobs, but it also has to be about the issue of what's the united states' role in the world? is it one we're seeing of strength or is it one where we're going to withdraw? to the extent the united states is not contributing to peace and stability in the world, it seems to me the world is a more dangerous place. >> you think the president what, is failing because he's retreating? >> i think the strength of the united states and its presence is partly dependent on our military capability. if you cut a trillion -- a trillion to 1.2 trillion out of

the defense budget over the coming period, we are going to, first of all, weaken our military capabilities, and second we'll be seen as having weakened our military capabilities. if we don't come to grips with the deficit and debts and spending. >> that has to be bipartisan to get it done. >> undoubtedly. >> they've been a dysfunctional congress. >> unless the one party wins the presidency and both houses of the congress. i mean, when i went to washington in the 1950s and '60s, we were spending 10% of gross domestic product on defense and intelligence. today it's down to 4%, plus or minus. so, the debt and the deficit is not a matter of the defense establishment. it's entitlements. >> but america's deficit issue is a matter of national security? >> absolutely. >> thank you for coming. donald rumsfeld's book is now available in paper back. the oklahoma city area is bracing for more severe weather later today.

here's a look at what happened last night. this is damaging hail. some of that hail the size is of grapefruit. frorpt damage and dozens of injuries were reported. there were also wind gusts exceeding 60 miles an hour. nearly 100,000 customers lost power last night. the jury in the john edwards trial begins eighth day of deliberations this morning. on tuesday the judge gave jurors another lecture in open court. >> anna werner is watching those deliberations in greensboro, income. what exactly did the judge say? >> good morning, erica. the judge appeared to believe that the jury needed a reminder of her instructions about not talking about the case. not surfing the internet, not reading media reports, but especially she warned them not to discuss this case in small groups. she stressed how important it is that the jury discuss this case only as a whole group of 12 people. she's told them, small group discussions have the potential to be divisive. not something you want when 12

people have to reach a unanimous verdict here. the other thing yesterday is there's a sense of preparing for the long haul. the jurors sent the -- the jurors sent the judge a note saying they have things like high school graduations coming up and they wanted to know the schedule. so, she actually set out a schedule going all the way through friday. not that they can't reach a verdict before then, but there is a sense of, hey, in case we're here that long, we might need to prepare. so, we'll keep an eye on it today and let you know if there appears to be any chance of reaching a verdict. erica and charlie, back to you. >> anna werner, thank you. time to show you some of this morning's headlines from around the globe. the chinese activist at the center of a diplomatic standoff writes in "the new york times," quote, china does not lack laws but the rule of law. chen guangcheng also calls for an investigation into his treatment over the past seven years. he was given sanctuary in the u.s. embassy last month. he arrived in the u.s. two weekends ago to study law. the times of london says

but as "48 hours" correspondent susan spencer reports, the fbi has evidence now raising the possibility of foul play. >> reporter: nearly seven years after george smith vanished from his honeymoon cruise in the aegean sea, authorities finally may be close to solving the mystery of his disappearance. >> this might be the piece of the puzzle everyone's been missing. >> reporter: the fbi's in possession of a video made by the three men who were with smith the night he disappeared, video showing them mocking him and making incriminating statements. >> to me it was amazing people would actually film themselves talking about somebody's death in such a fashion. >> reporter: while much of what happened that night on the royal caribbean ship is unclear, here is what we do know. early on the morning of july 5, 2005, george smith was partying and drinking heavily with his new bride, jennifer. the couple got into an argument and she stormed off.

she was found hours later passed out in a hallway in another part of the ship. around 3:30 a.m., three vacationing russian-american students who had been partying with smith helped him back to his cabin. the three, later dubbed in the press as the russians, always have maintained they put smith to bed and then left. shortly after 4 a.m., other passengers reported hearing a commotion in smith's room. about 30 minute later, around 4:30, there was a loud thud. in the morning, there was this. a large blood stain on the metal life boat canopy about 20 feet below smith's cabin. >> i believe it was a botched robbery that got out of hand and my son was murdered on that cruise ship. >> reporter: in a videotape, earlier obtained by cbs news, the russians insisted to turkish police that smith was still alive when they left his room. >> never saw him again. >> never saw him again.

>> reporter: but the new developments cast doubt on their story. and smith's family is hoping finally justice may be served. >> we want to see arrests, indictments, convictions. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," susan spencer, washington. >> with us now senior correspondent john miller, former fbi assistant director. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> what do you make of this case now with the new evidence? >> well, it's not new evidence. this tape has been in the fbi's possession since fairly early on in the case. i think what we're seeing here, though, is a family that has hired a lawyer that is pushing this story forward to keep the pressure on, to keep the pressure on the prosecutor and to keep the pressure on the investigators to do something, so you have this front-page magazine article where the lawyers discussing this new tape. so, what's on the tape that's incriminating? that is, this is -- i mean, you saw a clip of the tape of that interrogation. this is the day after that

police interrogation. by the way, mine, this is out of the manual of how not to conduct a murder investigation. you don't gather all the suspects together with their parents and then go around. you separate everybody and get their stories. but on that tape the next day, they're sitting at a round table at breakfast in the dining room and passing the camera around. you know, they're talking -- they're laughing about the case, mocking the victim, george, and they get to one individual, one of the russians who says, we gave that guy a pair agliding lesson without a parachute, they laugh and it keeps going. that's the indiscriminating statement that the lawyer cryptically refers to in this article. >> so saying that he is taking that statement and saying they basically admit they threw him over the railing? >> the statement is what it is. they don't say we threw him over the railing but it certainly implies we gave him a

paragliding lesson without a parachute. it certainly implies that. and it is at least an incriminating statement. >> there's talk, too, of the relationship all of these guys had. the victims and these other men, had been out partying all night. is there any thinking there was foul play? could anything have been slipped into a drink? >> that's entirely possible. you know, as we keep circling around to new stories, we keep talking about, what's the mot e motive? why do you drug a guy so you can throw him over the boat? and the investigative theory has been that george smith allegedly told -- this is according to the debriefings of the men by investigators, allegedly told them that he had $15,000 or $50,000. it was hard to tell because everybody was intoxicated and even the person in this debriefing who admitted this said that they believe there was a large amount of money in the room. so, the investigative theory would be that they took him back to the room, put him to bed and then all of the -- what the

witnesses said about moving furniture around, this was them tossing the room, looking for money. but never's ever admitted to that and no camera in that room to make that happen. so, you you have the statement of one person saying, we understood there was money in the room but i wasn't in there. >> do we nl if there was actually money in the room, based on what the wife had to say? >> i don't know. >> john miller, thank you. >> thanks. facebook stock took another big hit on tuesday. mark zuckerberg is no longer one of the world's richest 40 people. this morning we'll show you what it means for the average investor. tomorrow, the five things you should know about where to put your money. you're watching "cbs this morning." why should i try it?

again at the lowest price yet. the stock is now down 24% since its debut. a drop that's wiped out about $25 billion off the company's market value. the drop hit everyday americans, too. according to one brokerage firm, invest urz put an average of $5,700 into facebook. and lost about $1,100. those losses and the fear of more like them led 90% of the people who put money into the company to pull it out. many wall street analysts weren't expecting that drop. just one predicted a long-term decline in the company's share price. >> facebook never wanted to go public. they had to go public effectively. they had enough shareholders that they were obligated to publish their financial results. and as that gives waway many potential secrets and the advantages of being a private

company. >> reporter: the lure of cash didn't hurt either. facebook raised $16 billion and the executives got rich overnight. but the stock slide has hurt them, too. while mark zuckerberg has been keeping a low pry file on his honeymoon, his net worth has dropped by $4.6 billion. >> so, how did this analyst get it right? >> he got it right because he looked at the fact that facebook, in order to make the money, that facebook needs to make to keep this valuation, they have to spend money. he says he's one of the only analysts who was looking at this from the perspective of, if you have to spend this kind of money, you're going to also cut into your profitability. and if you cut into your profitability, then i can't justify a massive price target on your stock. >> in some ways wasn't the profitability always in question, too? >> essentiacertainly. facebook makes 85% of $3.7 billion sales comes from ad revenue. and there's a lot of questions

still out there. we heard this prior to the ipo, as i reported, general motors had pulled out of some of its advertising on facebook. it's an untested strategy. while most companies will say, we know we have to be digital o the internet, how to be on the internet, how to advertise effectively is still up in the air. and whether or not facebook is a big component of that or a smaller component of that is still a big question. >> one of the big questions, a question whether they can find the strategy for advertising on mobile devices. >> and mobile is a huge part of it, charlie. facebook is really focused on this area with the instagram acquisition and also with the opera acquisition rumored to be out there. mobile is the future, and facebook has been hazy about whether or not it can do and play in that field properly. >> great stuff as

with needles in the past, you may feel more pain than others. so, the next time you're told to roll up your sleeve, close your eyes, turn away and think some happy thoughts. it just takes a second. if you still dread the needle, know you're like everybody else. i'm dr. holeholly phillips. >> announcer: "cbs healthwatch" sponsored by ocean spray sparkling drinks. with the red, white, and blue. ocean spray cranberry, white cranberry, and blueberry juice cocktails.

undercover investigation into gold scams. shelly wright is in,,,,,,,,,,,,,

it's been a couple of years since we've seen former south african president nelson mandela in public. just a short time ago, he received an award from the african national congress. that's the country's ruling party in his hometown. man te mandela's 94th birthday is july 18th. 8:00, welcome back to "cbs this morning." good to see nelson mandela after all this time. i heard he's fragile but lucid and okay. >> i'm gayle king. >> one of the great men alive. >> for sure. >> charlie rose with erica hill. the price of gold has doubled over the last 3 1/2 years to more than $1500 an ounce. many americans who need quick cash are selling family heirlooms and other jewelry. >> when they do, it turns out they don't always get a fair price.

six of our cbs stations took part in an investigation led by julie watts of or san francisco station kpix. >> reporter: you're watching an undergoefr gold mine, this one in santa cruz, california. >> i won't damage any of your pieces. >> reporter: the ohio valley gold and silver refinery promises the best value for gold. maureen and karen on ad for the same company in a california paper under the name treasure hunters road show. >> i had a piece of 18 karat gold that i know for a fact was 18 karat gold and they told me, no, it wasn't. >> reporter: we compiled complaints from across the country. mostly from seniors. a 71-year-old grandmother and west virginia and an 88-year-old in the canadian border were both desperate for cash and willing to sell heirlooms for pennies on the dollar. >> this one is very clearly marked 750 -- rt after jeweler

tom heard same complaints he went to the road show traveling under premiere estate buyers. >> i had gold bracelet made of gold coins. the individual looked at it and told me they were plated. that was fraud right to my face. >> reporter: he agreed to lend us $8,000 worth of gold, checking each piece for karat count and weight. three separate independent jewelers confirmed 13 of the 15 pieces were 18 karat gold. then at the santa cruz road show a manager carefully examined each item. >> half of what you have on the table here is copper. >> reporter: he came to that conclusion after checking the 18 karat stamps and performing an acid test. we sent our gold to sacramento, bostonings philadelphia and dallas, asking them to go undercover. in two cities, the company got the karat count right. >> it's gold. >> reporter: but in three cities, including dallas, cbs producers were told 18 karat pieces were only 14 karats, and

3 out of the 5 initial offers we received were less than a quarter of the gold's value. >> we're not in the business of, you know, lying to people. >> reporter: matthew, chr spokesman. turn out the company operates 120 traveling shows a week under at least eight different names. he confirmed the value of the gold. >> 750. so, that's 18 karat gold. >> reporter: but that's not what thr buyers said in the undercover video. >> which ones are ten? >> i believe -- which one was it? i think -- i believe that one was ten. >> reporter: that one is this one, the 18 karat bracelet. >> you know, obviously a concern for me, you know, seeing that. >> reporter: on five different occasions across the country. this isn't an isolated incident. >> it's a small percentage compared to the 140 managers we have. >> reporter: but t.

>> isn't that excessive? >> you know, it's absolutely legal. >> reporter: but my question is, do you feel guilty? >> do i feel guilty? i'm not the one out there buying and doing those types of things. >> reporter: now, despite bringing in more than $300 million last year, thr stopped clearing checks when the bank closed its account. they said they're trying to reissue checks out of that new account. one of those checks is ours and we're still waiting. as a result of the investigation, they said two employees featured in that video are no longer managers with the company but it won't confirm they're no longer buying at these road shows. >> i hear a lot of people are selling their gold these days, but what made you think this was a problem that you needed to look into? >> reporter: we started getting complaints from across the country. it started with a jeweler hearing complaints from many his customers and expanded from there. >> any idea why the bank closed

the thr account, have you heard? >> reporter: well, you know, the bank can't comment but oftentimes unexpected closures are due to fraud investigation, improper use of funds or irs liens. we know the ceo of the company, jeffrey parsons, does owe the irs more than $3 million. we know he's been using the company bank account as his personal piggy bank for years. court records show he didn't even have a personal account until late last year. >> wow. that could be a problem. nice job, julie, because you took it from your city and then took it around the country. nice job. thank you, julie watts, joining& us live today. i got to say more than scattered but certainly not the drenching we got last night of rain. going to stay warm with temperatures in the mid upper 80s. normal in the upper 70s.

[ male announcer ] because enbrel suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal, events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, and nervous system and blood disorders have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if, while on enbrel, you experience persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. if you've had enough, ask your dermatologist about enbrel. so ditch the brown bag for something better. like our bacon ranch quesadillas or big mouth burger bites, served with soup or salad, and fries. starting at just 6 bucks, at chili's.

i've never denied god. and i am about family. and i am about the freedoms of my country. and i'm gay. 5:34 in the morning. i still haven't gone to sleep. i'm coming out in one month. i'm coming out in 20 days. i don't know if i have the courage to actually have anyone ever see this tape. >> that is just a small example of the struggle of chely wright. two years ago she became the

first major country music star to reveal that she's gay. >> so, she allowed film makers to record her coming-out process. that turned into a new documentary called "wish me away" which also includes her own home video diaries. i have to say, your documentary took my heart and ripped it out a couple times when i was watching you. one of the things that struck me the most, third grade girl, 10 years old and you had a prayer every single day which was? >> dear god, please don't let me be gay. i'll be a good person. i won't steal, i won't lie, i'll do anything but just, please, take it away. >> you knew at an early age that you were different. different how? >> when i was in kindergarten i felt different and somewhat not like the other kids but i didn't understand until i was about 9 years old that that difference was that i was a little gay girl in kansas on a farm. >> because homosexuality, you said -- you were raised in a home that you were taught homosexual take was the devil.

>> i was raised in a home and town that said the same thing, a church. quite frankly, that was 1979 when i realized i was a little gay girl with aspirations of being on the grand ol' opry. those things didn't fit together. and it's -- we still struggle to make those things fit together. but they fit for me now. >> what are the fears you had and that you can see in that documentary, what have the fears that have been realized and the fears that simply were not there? in other words, what did not turn out to be true that was a fear and what did turn out to be true that confirmed your fear? >> some of the fears that i had that did come to pass were just an across the board rejection by a certain number of my fans. in the equality movement we talk about the moveable middle. and that's who i wanted to really speak to in country music, the fans who needed to hear a story like mine. needed to know that they, for

years, had loved a gay person and just didn't know it. that's the power of telling our stories, right? but there are people on the far right, doesn't matter what you say to them, they are not going to be okay with my being gay and then people on the far left, when they found out they're like, i don't care, who cares? but it's that moveable middle that have to, as i call it, they say i'm a head-scratcher. they say they have to think about it now that the truth -- the fact that they did love and stand in my autograph line and see my shows for years, they did love a gay woman and they had to then make the assessment, okay, nothing's changed. i still like her. >> in retrospect, would you have done it earlier? >> you know, in a perfect world, yes. but i couldn't have because i didn't -- i hadn't hit my rock bottom. my ego and fears were telling me, have you to spin all these plates and hide and manage this. and one really can't make such a big life-changing decision, such

as coming out, until they are faced with their rock bottom. >> and you pretended for a very long time, even having a relationship with brad paisley, who is also a country music star. you seem to have regrets about how you handled that. have you made amends with him? do you have regrets and have you made amends him? >> i had several relationships with several wonderful men. i have a good picker. i can pick some nice guys to date, some of the best. and i do regret those men that i dated that i could never reciprocate the love and affection that they had for me. i knew it the entire time that i couldn't. there's a particular cruelty in tat. and i haven't spoken with brad, but a couple of our mutual friends have spoken to one another. and i heard recently that he sent me a smile and a hug. you know, brad's a good guy. as good as a guy he was, and i should have been able to pull him aside and say, i can't date

you because i'm gay, one really never knows what one would do with that information. he's a good person but i was too afraid to tell him. >> before you came out, some people had a hard time believing it because they would come to you and say, there are rumors you're gay. >> yeah, yeah. i think any person who is hiding a secret fears that moment when someone actually says it to them. i for years and years in my career, up to almost nearly 20 years, had really conditioned people. that includes people in my band, managers, people who worked for me. >> that were close to you. >> don't ask. they knew you do not ask me questions like that. that caused me to be very detached and very cold really. >> i'm a little disappointed and surprised by the reaction of the country music tri, which, by the way, i like country music and think they have -- >> i do. >> i think tle will some of the nicest people in country music industry but they do seem to are rejected you. ever since you came out. you've not been invited to perform or really appear at any major events. that a fair assessment, that

you've been rejected by them? >> well, as my friend rodney said in the film, i don't think it's going to be fire and brimstone, i think they're going to freeze her out. it's not my belief i should be performing on every awards show. there was a changing of the guard. now it's the new taylor swift and carrie underwood and lady antebellum, that's a natural part of entertaining but what's missing, there's an institutionalized friendship wunt country music. once you're in, once you're one of us you're always invited to certain things to present or be a part of it or chair a committee for the country music hall of fame, which i used to do things like that. and so, it's a rejection by silence and a rejection mostly because i would like to hear a country music artist, the big ones, not just say, well, i like chely. i like her even though she's gay. i need a country artist who is a

big deal, like jay-z and his community, he came forward and said, i believe in equality for all. >> yes,he did. >> i'm struggling because i have not heard that from the big stars in country music. >> maybe you're the only gay country music person. and i'm kidding. >> oh. >> yeah,my kidding. do you believe there are others and do you wish they would come out, too? >> you know, basic statistics would tell us that there are others like me. >> you told me that you -- that others have come to you and said, i don't have the courage to come out and they looked at what has been for you and while they're gay they're not -- >> there are a lot of people in the industry -- radio people, programmers, producers, song writers, a lot of folks in the industry, a lot, have come to me and said, i just can't do it. >> but good for you. >> yeah, yeah. and they wonder -- they wonder why they can't or they say, oh, i'm out enough because i told my

mom. you're really not out unless it says it on your wikipedia page. >> how will you navigate the future? you'll ask people to come forward for you? you'll continue to perform? you'll be as creative and as good as you possibly can? >> i have my sights set on the positive things that i can do, the advocacy groups i work. i don't need much from nashville. i'm fine. i'm not losing sleep over the fact that no one is standing up saying, chely wright has done a great thing. i'm focusing on my efforts on glisten, trying to eradicate bullying in public schools. my organization, like me, we opened a brand new lbgt center in kansas city this spring. i'm trying to work on those things and use my voice to make sure that everyone out there in america knows, you do love a gay person. but i promise you, you have a neighbor, i a coworker, i a niece, and be mindful of the negative things you say about

gays and lesbians because someone is listening. >> well, you said you didn't speak up, you didn't come out to shout out and you are speak up. you got married last year? >> i did. >> congratulations. and she wore my favorite yellow, charlie. that's always a good day. >> you sent me a telepathic messages of wear yellow. >> thank you. the name of her documentary is called "wish me away" will be in theaters in new york city this friday and then in los angeles on june 15th and everywhere else in between at a later date. also available on video on demand starting on friday. we'll be right back. >> announcer: this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by beauty rest. living life fully charged. it's time to live wider awake. only the beautyrest recharge sleep system combines the comfort of aircool memory foam layered on top of beautyrest pocketed coils

great places to be. so i tend to really focus on that overall. i do think the nice thing about tech is it's a fast-moving industry, easy to get caught up, have new ideas, really get ahead. so i think it's that fast moving nature of it makes it more intimidating industry and also an industry where if you do jump in, you can make a big impact. >> is there a deeper penetration of women involved in startups in so will con valley? >> i think over time what we're seeing is there's more and more women computer science graduates. on a percentage basis would he may not be doing that well but overall a lot of women are entering technology and more and more women starting companies, which is great to see. >> let's get a sense of marissa. self-described geek, not a bad thing, who loves cupcakes ands on ka oscar de la renta. you started out wanting to be a

things that's interesting about technology right now is this confluence of all these different factors. information and what's available online and the social aspects. and the mobile aspects. and i think that's something that's really exciting. and, in fact, as of today we're launching something called google plus local. it's available on the desk, available on mobile, shows you what your friends think of places, shows you their reviews, helps you find better places to go. >> so it's a search -- it's a social media search engine? >> that's right. it's with google plus and also available from search and maps. when you go there, we have recommended places. so, we -- like places you've liked and reviewed in the past, places your friends have liked, we recommend some places, all based on your location. and you can do searches. you can say, okay, i want to find burgers in seattle. and we come back and we'll show
