actor/comedian denis leary joins us in studio 57. but first, as we do every morning, we begin with a look at today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. the federal government, what they said to arizona is drop dead, arizona, drop dead and go away, we're going to ignore you. >> the supreme court rules on arizona's controversial immigration law. >> three of the four contested provisions thrown out, but one very controversial "show me your papers" provision left in place. >> the power for police to ask about one's immigration status when they have reasonable suspicion to do so. >> reasonable suspicion. what in the world is that? >> reasonable suspicion. define it. >> now you need to go to law school. tropical storm debby off florida's gulf coast. >> there are 35,000 people without power. >> looking at four to eight additional inches of rainfall. some historic flooding. >> we've declared a state of emergency so we can coordinate the use of our state resources.

>> coast guard rescuers plucking a family of nine, including four children, from a vacation house. >> out west, fire crews in colorado are trying to contain eight huge wildfires raging across the state. >> we may have to go help the other side. >> stay alive. according to the "wall street journal," if you use a mcintosh computer on the orbitz website, chances are you'll have to pay more for a hotel room. starting today, spirit airlines is charging $1 to print your boarding passes at the airport. a michigan couple took the plunge literally this weekend. the dock they were standing on gave way during a photo shoot. >> oh, that? do your parents get upset about the fact that you've become, you know, a sex symbol and all these things? >> i can't help it! they made me, really, naturally. >> and all that matters. finally, boston, i just want to say, thank you for youkilis. [ laughter ] >> on "cbs this morning." >> everybody was doing "winning, duh, winning." >> what was i talking about, though? i lost my children, my job, my

money, my stature, my mind. what was i winning about? >> what were you winning? >> i don't know. captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning." police and politicians are trying to come to grips with the supreme court's decision on arizona's controversial immigration law. the justices ruled unanimously monday that police in arizona are allowed to check any suspect's immigration status. >> however, in a 5-3 vote, the court struck down three other parts of the law requiring immigrants to carry registration papers wherever they go, making it illegal for undocumented residents to seek work or hold a job in arizona, and allowing police to arrest suspected illegal immigrants without a warrant. jan crawford is outside the supreme court this morning. jan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica. good morning, charlie. this was one of those decisions that really didn't make anyone very happy. as you said, they upheld that key part, struck down some other parts. they really struck a careful balance with this law.

so, what we saw yesterday was democrats and republicans each scrambling to put their spin on it, what decidedly was a mixed decision. the court unanimously agreed to uphold the most controversial section of the arizona law known as "show me your papers." it requires police to check the immigration status of people stopped for another violation. but the obama administration could also claim at least a partial victory. the court threw down some limits on arizona, striking down parts of the law that created new state crimes for immigration violations, ruling that immigration enforcement was the federal government's job. that left the two presidential candidates who have very different views on immigration praising and criticizing completely different parts of the decision. president obama said in a statement he was "pleased that the supreme court has struck down key provisions of arizona's immigration law," but he didn't stop there, adding, he is "concerned about the practical impact of the remaining

provision," the one requiring immigration background checks. presumptive republican nominee mitt romney, who was in arizona monday, said at a fund-raiser that he "would have preferred to see the supreme court give more latitude to the states, not less." romney has said immigration would be a priority for his first year in office, but he has not gone in to specifics about what he would do, as he tries to appeal to latino voters without alienating conservatives. that balancing act led to a contentious exchange between a romney spokesperson and reporters asking for more details. >> does the governor agree with the supreme court or with arizona? >> well, our position's been clear on that. >> it's not. >> it is. the president failed to address illegal immigration. >> reporter: republican senator marco rubio, himself the son of cuban immigrants, told charlie rose the decision underscored the need for federal immigration reform. >> so, i think they have a constitutional right to pass a law like this. i understand why they passed a law like this, but i don't think it's a national model.

>> reporter: now, the obama campaign believes that politically, at least, this law wasn't so bad. the administration is going to continue to fight against it. the president yesterday suggested that one provision could lead to racial profiling. all of that, of course, could help rally hispanics, which as we have discussed could be decisive in november. charlie and erica? >> jan, let's focus on the opinions of two people. first, justice scalia, and then chief justice roberts. >> reporter: well, talk about two different opinions from two very different justices. you know, justice scalia is that colorful, brilliant, intellectual, and increasingly, he's just gotten more audacious. we've seen him during the arguments really going after the lawyers. and yesterday, his decision was almost over the top. he said the court's decision, which he disagreed with when they struck down those three provisions, boggled the mind. and he went on to say how states were going to be under siege. very colorful language. but you know what, charlie? you know how many justices voted with him to support him in his

decision? zero. he got no other votes in that dissent. what i thought was particularly interesting was the other conservative justice, chief justice john roberts. we think of him as always siding with the conservatives, help anchor that conservative bloc on the supreme court. yesterday he walked over and joined the liberals with that moderate justice kennedy to give that decisive fifth vote. now, why this is interesting is not just for immigration, but of course, that decision that we're waiting on on thursday, the big ruling about the president's health care reform. how will roberts vote in that case? how will kennedy vote in that case? we are going to find out shortly after 10:00 on thursday. >> jan, thank you. we can't wait to get to that. also in washington this morning, cbs news political director john dickerson. john, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> let's begin with the political fallout in terms of the candidates and the campaigns for the presidency. >> well, the political fallout here of the immigration decision is basically a split decision is

beneficial for the president. he gets to talk about the arizona law, which is unpopular with hispanics. he gets to rally that group, which is very strongly in favor of him. governor romney was obviously trying to stay away from the issue during the primaries. he was anxious to align himself with the interests of arizona. in this case, he tried to keep all of the focus on the president, saying that this decision by the supreme court came about because the president failed to move on immigration and arizona had to take matters into its own hands. >> how does romney plan to handle this? because he was very strong in his appeal to conservatives in the primary, and now he's in a general election in which the hispanic vote is very important. >> he's basically going to make the same pitch to hispanics that he's making to the rest of the country, is that the economy is bad, that hispanics have been hit by the bad economy, and that he has a plan to turn the economy around. so, the message will be essentially the same, and he's going to move on. there's no way, really, he can kind of run to the middle or get to the left of where he was in the primaries and not be seen as totally inauthentic, so he'll

just try to get the focus back on the economy, because that's what they hope the election's about. >> john, though when it came to this question, as we saw on the plane there, his spokesperson giving a nod to an answer, and there's been criticism that romney needs to start getting more specific. is this the time for him to do that? >> well, if the economy continues to weaken and governor romney can convince voters to make the election a referendum about barack obama, then he could stay vague and evasive, but a lot of the call for the specifics that you mentioned is not just from the press corps, frustrated by the total lack of nourishment, but from conservatives, peggy noonan, a slew of governors, bill kristol arguing that he can't simply run as an anti-obama. the romney campaign says they've been specific, but the specifics are the kind like we see in drug ads, where they show a pretty picture of improved health, but then you get two pages of fine print, and it's that fine print that romney never talks about and that the election should be about. >> john dickerson, thank you very much. >> thanks, charlie. florida is under a state of emergency this morning as

tropical storm debby sits off the gulf coast in no apparent rush to make landfall. >> debby has barely budged, in fact, in the past 72 hours, just socking florida with flood-producing rains, winds, high winds and tornadoes, and it is not over yet. another eight inches of rain is possible over the next few days. michelle miller is in st. petersburg. michelle, good morning. we have michelle there. we may be having a problem with the audio. >> reporter: winds are ferocious here, as they are through much of the northwest coast of florida. all 67 counties are under that level 1 state of emergency. and while no national guard troops have been activated, nor has the state asked for any federal emergency disaster assistance, florida's governor, rick scott, is urging, pleading with residents here not to take debby lightly. for four days now, debby has stalled in the gulf, dumping 10

to 15 inches of rain on millions of floridians from ft. myers across the panhandle. the system hasn't even made landfall, and already it's drenched the state and triggered at least 20 reports of tornadoes. >> all of a sudden, it gets very quiet, and i go, oh, the storm's over. then i heard this explode, then i heard this pow! >> reporter: 73-year-old cleo robertson anxiously watched as a possible twister closed in on her home in hard-hit pasa grill sunday. >> this is the roof from here. >> reporter: it tore through her neighbor's home before jumping to hers, one of the oldest houses in the community. >> all the people came out of this apartment, six of them, scared to death, and they had to be evacuated because their roof was gone. >> reporter: another reported tornado ripped through highlands county, killing a woman as she held on to her young child. >> i can picture her holding the baby, not letting her go. just to know that my daughter was holding her baby so tight. >> reporter: the coast guard came to the rescue of another family and their two dogs,

hoisting them to safety after water surrounded their vacation home. forecasters say flooding will pose the biggest threat over the next couple of days. residents waded in knee-deep water monday as sinkholes popped up in other neighborhoods, a truck tetering over one gaping hole. by the end of the week, debby could dump up to two feet of rain on some coastal communities. while the storm has helped ease florida's drought conditions, most here are ready to see debby move on. and the problem here is that some 30,000 customers are without power as a result of this storm, and power officials tell us they expect many more as debby makes landfall. erica, charlie? >> michelle miller in st. petersburg, thank you. out west, the story is wildfires, burning now in at least seven states. in colorado alone, eight large fires are burning this morning. one fire near colorado springs

grew overnight. it is currently out of control. at least 6,000 people were forced to evacuate on monday, and there is so much smoke, pike's peak can barely be seen, as you can see there. in central utah, a wildfire threatens about 300 homes. the fires are being fed by high temperatures and dry conditions. there is new information this morning in the uproar over leaking classified information. national intelligence director james clapper announced new initiatives monday to keep government secrets secret. >> sources say when employees of the cia, fbi and other agencies take lie detector tests, they will be asked specifically if they have given information to reporters. nancy cordes is on capitol hill this morning. nancy, are lawmakers satisfied with that response? >> reporter: well, erica, we'll find out today when republicans hold a press conference on the matter. what they're likely to say is that this is a good first step by the director of national intelligence, requiring that all intelligence agencies when they conduct routine polygraphs ask their employees whether they've

been involved in leaks, and secondarily saying that all leaked cases, if they're not pursued by the department of justice, will still be investigated internally. but what republicans are also going to say is that what we're really concerned about is the leaks that have already happened, the sensitive counterterrorism operations. they don't believe that the administration can adequately investigate itself and pursue these cases with criminal investigations, if warranted. >> nancy, let me ask you about eric holder and the contempt charges that come out of the house. if there is a vote, will it be along straight party lines? >> reporter: most likely, charlie. that vote is scheduled on thursday. and of course, this is related to a different matter. the department of justice's handling of that controversial gun-running case called "fast and furious." what republicans have said is if holder hands over the documents they want by thursday, this vote could be canceled, it could be postponed, but right now it doesn't look like that's going to happen. the administration, as you know, has exerted executive privilege

over the documents, so it does look like this will come down along straight party lines. >> nancy, thank you. the obama administration says it will send a senior official to meet with egypt's new president after the u.s. is assured that the military will give up power. on monday, mohamed morsi met with the powerful generals who took control when hosni mubarak was forced from power. then morsi, who was once a mubarak prisoner, moved into the presidential palace. a lawyer for mobster whitey bulger says he shouldn't go on trial in november because he had an immunity deal with the government, protecting him from prosecution. bulger was arrested last year after 16 years on the run. heis charged in 19 murders. "newsweek" contributor t.j. has written extensively about the case. welcome. >> good morning. >> is there anything about this that he can make this case that he's immune from prosecution? >> i don't think the case will be thrown out, the charges.

but it is a significant development. whitey bulger was a government informant and he did have some sort of relationship with the department of justice. and now with his attorney filing this motion, it means there is going to be an evidentiary hearing, and there will be a hearing on this. and it will be quite dramatic. it will be a full casting call of a lot of the people in the government, in the justice department that have been handling bulger all those years. >> and fbi as well? >> and the fbi, sure. >> so, what will we learn about the relationship between bulger and the fbi? >> well, we'll learn that he had some sort of arrangement with them. they knew he was a criminal, they knew he was a killer. this was part of the arrangement they had with him. we don't know if this was ever put down on paper. we don't know if it was spelled out on paper. we don't know how many supervisory people were in on this. we don't know who knew about it, who supervised it. >> are they talking? >> no. a lot of them are retired, they've gone on with their careers, they've retired. in the history of the bulger

saga, not a single supervisory person in the justice department or the fbi has ever been held accountable for this relationship, so i imagine a lot of them are squirming in their seats with this information. >> but as you said, too, we don't know if there's anything on paper. we don't really know what sort of proof there is of this arrangement, so how much will his claims hinge on that? >> well, there's an fbi agent, john connolly, sitting in prison down in florida for his relationship with bulger, his handling of bulger. so, we know that there was a relationship. connelly was his direct handler, but what we don't know is who above that supervised that relationship, who else is culpable. >> beyond this, what's the most interesting thing we found out about whitey bulger? >> well, we found out things we have known about him, how machiavellian he is. he is a master player. i think we get the sense now that it's possible he's looking forward to this trial. >> to show how smart he is? >> well, it will be his last big

power play. it's the last card he has to play, and so i imagine he's relishing the idea of dragging all these people that he did business with in the government over the years, dragging them all out into the open. >> so, it's his time to perform. >> it's his way of saying good-bye. >> it will be interesting to see -- >> before i go off to the big house. >> yes. >> yes. >> t.j., good to have you with us. thank you. >> thank you. time to show you this morning's headlines from around the globe. the "wall street journal" reports orbitz, the online travel agency, is suggesting more expensive hotels to people who use mac computers. orbitz made that change after finding mac users are likely to spend $20 to $30 a night more than people who use pcs. rupert murdoch's news corp. may split according to the "financial times." plans have been drawn up to separate the entertainment businesses, including the fox films studio and broadcasting network from publishing assets like the "wall street journal" and the "new york post." >> "the chicago tribune" says illinois congressman jesse jackson jr. is taking a medical

leave of absence. jackson is the target of an ethics investigation. his office says jackson is being treated for exhaustion and does not know how long he'll be away. >> the "new york daily news" says the final beam has been lifted atop a new skyscraper at the world trade center. it will be the first new high-rise to be occupied at the site. 4 world trade center is set to open in the fall of 2013. and "usa today" says the women's tennis association is cracking down on excessive grunting. officials want to develop a device to measure just how much noise the players make and then set rules on accep

up next, condoleezza rice talks about politics, syria and iran.,

they're having a funny problem in pakistan. apparently, most of the pakistani police force is overweight. only 25% of the officers in the province of punjab were able to pass the fitness test, and now they're tracking down. they say if they don't get their waist size down to a 38, they could be removed from the field. looks like they're shaping up pretty well, though. i believe the politically correct term for this gentleman is a fatty pakistani. honestly, i could watch this for hours. although i will say, that video makes the fact that we snuck in to pakistan and killed bin laden much less impressive to me. >> welcome back to "cbs this morning." republicans are full of praise for former secretary of state condoleezza rice this morning after her speech over the weekend at a meeting where mitt romney gathered dozens of

major campaign donors. >> condoleezza rice is very, very well received. she's just an exceptional speaker, when she speaks from her heart without notes, she's just a master of the knowledge in her background and perspective. >> condoleezza rice is with us now from washington. p>> good morning.ood morning. >> here is what the press has been saying, or what people at the weekend retreat have said. spectacular, she rocked it, an impassioned plea. what did you say? >> well, i talked about the need for american leadership, i talked about the importance of the united states to a more peaceful world, a world that has been quite turbulent in recent years, and needs a strong american anchor, but i also talked about the essence of america, and i think perhaps that is what people resonated with, that this is a country in which people really believe that it doesn't matter where you came from, it matters where you're going and that we really need to

concentrate on rebuilding our strengths as a country of immigrants, a country where it doesn't really matter your zip code so that you can get a good education, and the need to really pay attention to those strengths so that we can lead from an internal strength at home. >> this was a retreat with and about governor romney. will his foreign policy be different than the foreign policy of president obama? >> what mitt romney will bring to the presidency -- and i believe he would be a very good president -- is he will bring first and foremost an understanding of the role the united states has to play in the world. he understands the essence of an america that believes in free markets and free peoples, and that that has really been the reason that the world has been moving toward more prosperity and greater freedom. he understands that we need to reassure our friends that, indeed, we're going to be with them, and that our foes have to respect, and indeed, fear us. and because he has those

principles and those values, he'll be very good on the foreign policy stage. >> so, what part of president obama's foreign policy and the decisions he has taken do you disagree with? >> look, i have said, and i continue to say, i understand how hard it is to be in the white house, how hard it is to be in the state department, but i do think we need a greater, more assertive america in the world. when things are moving in many different directions as they are, after great shocks to the system like 9/11 and the global financial and economic crisis, and now the positive shock of people insisting on their democratic rights, the united states can't lead from behind. the united states has to have a view, it has to gather people around that view, and frankly, i think we need to do more of that, and the last several years i think we've been lacking on that front. >> that's a point that people who look at the president on foreign policy say, including

critics within his own party, say he has extended and drilled down on the bush foreign policy, especially in terms of terrorism. >> well, there's no doubt that we have benefited from really now ten years of relative consistency when it comes to the war on terror. president bush left a lot of tools to president obama. he left him a military and intelligence integration that has worked extremely well, exceedingly well, as we were able to even bring bin laden to justice. there's no doubt that we've had consistency in the war on terror, and that is something to be grateful for, because i think it is why we have not been struck again. but there is more than terrorism in foreign policy, and i would just make two points. first, we really do need to have a view. it cannot be the lowest common denominator view of the international community through the security council and u.n.

and secondly, they lies on building our strengths at home, so continuing to borrow money we cannot afford, entitlements. if we don't get a handle on who we are at home and fix our multiple problems at home, then we will not lead. and so, this election is rightly about the state of the economy as a source of strength for international leadership. >> madam secretary, let's talk about a couple items in the news, specifically starting with russia, and of course, the impact on syria there. in your experience with vladimir putin, how do you get russia to come to the table on this? >> well, you may not be able to get russia to come to the table. the russians have a view under vladimir putin that is really a kind of 19th-century view of foreign policy. you intimidate your neighbors, as they tried to do with georgia. they have a fast friend, they believe, in bashar al assad. syria has been the center of russia's middle eastern policy. and i'm not certain that we can bring them. they ought to be embarrassed by being a part of the support

structure for a dictator who is murdering his own people every day, but if they are not, then we have to make alliance with those who wish to see bashar al assad overthrown. that's most of the states in the region and including some powerful states like turkey that are now beginning to suffer from the instability that turkey is bringing. we saw this downing of turkish aircraft. and so, let's make alliance with those who understand that syria will never be stable with bashar al assad in place. let's help the opposition to organize. and syria will be better off with bashar al assad and so will the middle east. >> you say help the opposition to organize. do you support, like senator mccain does, arming the rebels? >> well, the first thing you've got to do is to get a political structure that can be on the ground and running when assad is finally gone, and a lot of work has to be done to bring that political alliance together. and in fact, the turks have been

very active in doing so. yes, i do believe that you're probably ultimately going to have to arm the opposition, maybe even today, because people are being armed. assad is being armed by the russians and by the iranians. so, it's not as if people are not being armed. and even the opposition is receiving some arms from regional players, some of whom have their own agenda in syria, and the united states, europe, those of us i think who want to see a stable, and ultimately, democratic syria, are going to have to work with the opposition and probably, indeed, arm them with a political framework, rather than what i fear is happening now, which is that various fragments are being armed in accordance with regional players who have different agendas. >> let me bring this back full circle to politics. we started at the retreat. because of your speech, there

has been some ground swell of enthusiasm about the possibility, because of your experience, because of your sense of resonance with america, that you might be the ideal running mate for mitt romney. >> charlie, i didn't run for student council president. i don't see myself in any way in elected office. i love policy. i'm not particularly fond of politics. governor romney's going to make president. he's got terrific judgment. there is a deep -- >> you are not saying you're turning it down if he calls, are you? >> i'm saying there is no way that i will do this, because it's really not me. i know my strengths, and governor romney needs to find someone who wants to run with him. there are many people who will do it very, very well, and i'll support the ticket. >> that's a no or that's it's not going to happen? >> that's it's not going to happen. and no. >> thank you very much. good to see you. >> thank you, charlie. it's nice to talk to you. dylan mcdermott played a lawyer on "the practice,"

however, he was more like a detective when it came to his mother's murder. we'll tell you how he learned the truth after nearly half a century. that and more on "cbs this morning." the service was very moving, wasn't it? yes, it was. i'm so glad we could be here for larry. i was surprised to hear there was no life insurance. funerals are so expensive. i hope larry can afford it. know. that's why i'm glad i got a policy through the colonial penn program. do you think they have coverage for me... something that'll fit into my budget? yes. you can get permanent coverage for less than 35 cents a day. if you're between 50 and 85, your acceptance is guaranteed. you won't have to take a physical or answer any health questions. plus, your costs will never go up, and your coverage will never go down. i'm going to give them a call.

if you're between 50 and 85, then you should call about the colonial penn program now. for less than 35 cents a day, you can get affordable life insurance with guaranteed acceptance. there are no health questions or medical exam. you cannot be turned down because of your health. so, whether you're getting new insurance or supplementing coverage you already have, call about the colonial penn program, and ask one of their representatives about a plan that meets your needs. i've put this off long enough. i'm definitely gonna call about the colonial penn program.

a mystery has haunted dylan mcdermott for 35 years. just how did his mother die? until now, the official story was she either committed suicide or was accidentally shot in the head. >> at mcdermott's request, police decided take another look. terrell brown reports that the evidence led them to a very different conclusion. terrell, good morning. >> charlie, good morning to you. at the time, police in waterbury, connecticut, didn't think foul play was involved in the death of diane mcdermott, but in 2010, they reopened the case, and after an exhaustive investigation, they now think they know what really happened on that fateful day in 1967. dylan mcdermott actually heard his mother's final moments.

diane mcdermott was having a violent argument with her boyfriend inside this house, followed by a gunshot. >> dylan watched his mother being taken out of the house on a gurney, and even at 5 years old had a vivid recollection of that. >> it was classified first as accidental, and then it was classified possibly as a suicide. >> reporter: out of this tragedy, mcdermott went on to become a big star on the small screen, recently playing a pychiatrist living in a haunted house in "american horror story." >> it's okay. it's okay. >> there's something in there! >> it's okay. >> reporter: and a ruthless boss and attorney in "the practice." >> i'm doing what i have to do to defend my client. >> reporter: but for all his success, lingering questions about his mother's death never left him. and in 2010, he asked the police to look into the case once more. investigators had difficulty finding 45-year-old police

reports, so they instead combed through newspaper clippings, reinterviewed witnesses and took a closer look at the autopsy report. they discovered diane mcdermott was shot in the back of the head at point blank range. >> it was a close-contact execution type of a gun wound. >> reporter: they now believe she was murdered by her boyfriend at the time, john sponza, a man with ties to organized crime. >> he was a con artist, he was a criminal, he was a drug addict. he enjoyed terrorizing and torturing people. >> reporter: still, police at the time believed sponza's multiple explanations for her death. the new police chief thinks the original investigation wasn't very thorough. >> it was very clear to me that something was terribly wrong with the investigation that was done back in 1967. >> reporter: sponza was killed in 1972 in what looks like a mob hit. he was shot three times and stuffed into the back of a car.

>> the car was parked in a supermarket parking lot and left there for a patrol officer to find. >> reporter: dylan mcdermott would end up being raised by his maternal grandmother. he declined our request for an interview, but last year, he told "cbs sunday morning" about the difficulties of his childhood. >> we lived on $100 a week, my sister and i, and my grandmother worked two jobs, you know. she rescued us in many ways and became our mom. >> reporter: and finally, after all these years, he has closure for his own personal "american horror story." this cold case investigation didn't just result in answers for the mcdermotts. police say they have now also been able to link sponza to two other unsolved homicides,

welcome back to "cbs this morning." we had such a great conversation during the commercial break. we said, denis, don't leave, don't leave! >> i'm still here. >> and he said you're prying me out of this chair with my dead body. >> and i'm the fourth host? >> one of the things that's interesting is you live for the news every morning. >> yep. >> first thing you do, online, what's going on. >> yep. >> and comedians do as well, all comedians do, because that's the blood for them to be what they

are. >> yeah. i mean, i'm a sports nut, too, so of course i want to get those scores and the things i didn't get the night before. but yeah, i don't even know how to -- you can't operate. as a comedian, i just can't operate unless i have a sense of what the news was that day. and you know, like we were talking about jon stewart before. you know, sometimes if i've missed a really busy day and missed a lot of the news, you can actually pick up what the day's news was from jon, but i have to get that information at some point. and sometimes, it's always the amazing thing when i turn to somebody and i go, you know, did you hear about blah, blah, blah? and they go, no, when did that happen? i'm like, it was all over the news this morning! >> i know, you're not paying attention. what's your take on politics, on the political season? i'd love to hear what you think. >> i don't know what to think right now. >> really? >> meaning? >> meaning i don't know which way it's going to go. i keep waiting. it's like baseball to me. this is like the baseball season, doesn't mean anything until we get to september and october. that's when we'll really get into the playoffs. so, a lot of the stuff that's going on now i don't really care

about. but to me, the most interesting part about the politics is really the primaries when you get to see everybody, who's going to make a fool of themselves, step on land mines, and i love that. so, we know land mines are coming between these two guys, so that's really when baseball heats up in september and october is when it's, you know, romney and obama, you know. >> but you pay attention to what's happening with the red sox. >> oh, yeah. >> yeah. >> yeah, i know. >> but you've said to me earlier, when i reminded you that we had had you take us on the new 100 anniversary of fenway park and the red sox have a new manager, bobby valentine. >> yep. >> they've done some trading. >> yep. >> they're building. and so, you say that's fine with me? >> i think it's fantastic. listen, and also, i have to say that as a red sox fan, we won in 2004 and 2007. 2004 was a dream. we beat your yankees four in a row. >> my yankees. >> 2007 was great being a surprise. i lived my whole life, my dad came to this country in 1950 and became a red sox fan and lived his whole life and died without

seeing the red sox win. 2004, i was done. like my son, my son every day, i can't believe they're doing this, i can't believe, but i'm already thinking miles ahead because i'm an old red sox fan. i know, you know, we've got time to develop these young kids. i don't -- if we have to sacrifice this season, that's fine with me. >> there's one thing about me you don't know that will make you jealous, only one. i got to know ted williams. >> did you really? >> spent time with him, had conversations with him, had baseballs signed by him. >> look at him, "did you really?" >> he was the most impressive man. >> the real john wayne. >> yeah, the real john wayne. >> he was a jet fighter pilot and was the greatest hitter in the history of baseball. >> right. last hitter to hit .400, but such a charismatic guy. >> yeah. i would have loved to have met him. >> every red sox fan i know -- >> you know, i heard ant view with him one time on the radio with bob costas, 25 years ago. he was talking about hitting. i was driving home from a comedy gig in boston, and it was on the radio. when i turned the radio on, i

thought john wayne was being interviewed. i realized the timber of the voice was exactly the same. if you closed your eyes and you were listening to ted williams talk, it would sound like john wayne, except he was the real john wayne, because he actually went to war twice. >> i know. >> and gave up, you know, like six years -- >> and the great thing about ted williams is he had this extraordinary vision, better than 20/20, as it would be with a pilot, and he saw the plate once and was about a millimeter off and they said, no, it's not, so they measured it and he was right. >> i think it's astonishing. you probably talked about this before, but there's an hbo special about george bush sr. that's on right now. >> oh, "41." >> yeah, "41," that's actually fantastic to witness him or a guy like ted williams, who said it as well. when george bush sr. talks about when he -- and they have the footage of him being rescued when he had to crash his jet into the ocean, right? >> saw that, yeah. >> he talks about it like it was a double and he slid in to second base. >> yeah. >> it's like, yeah, then they picked me up and whatever.

like, they were talking. these guys were genuine heroes, and these things that certainly my generation never did. on you know, we're worried about where the remote is and these guys are real heroes. >> bush 41 says maybe i could have done more -- >> i know, i know. >> rather than it's extraordinary. >> that's why it's the greatest generation, if you think about it. that's what people talk about when they say that. >> denis, before you go -- >> there's still a lot of those men around, navy s.e.a.l.s, our firefighters, our cops, the military's full of them. it's just, it's extraordinary people, you know? i mean, what we do is really what we do, but what those people do is really -- >> have you developed a relationship with firefighters because of the series? >> well, it was actually before that. my cousin, jerry lucy, became a firefighter, as did a lot of the guys i went to school with, who went to the same school for 12 years in my neighborhood. and about 30 or 40 of those guys became firefighters, and he died in the line of duty in 1999 along with five other firefighters up in worcester, massachusetts, and i started my foundation to help those guys, but one of my best friends here, terri quinn, became a firefighter when we were in our

20s, and that led me into the new york department. so, again, my admiration is never-ending, and i just, i look at those guys -- you guys just did that piece about firefighters and terror alerts. you know, they're really our first responders. on 9/11, those were our first responders. i just can't say enough about them, just what they do. >> oh, they're great. >> it never ceases tostonnic me. >> before you go, charlie said something that clearly made you a little jealous. is there something about you that would make charlie jealous? one sentence. >> i can tell you one right away, your family. >> yeah, my family. i'm the luckiest guy in the world. i really am. i'm a broken-down hockey player who couldn't do math and science, and you know, the nuns kept telling me nothing good was going to happen, and this one nun put me into play and she saved my life. so you know, i'm that lucky. then meeting my wife was the best idea i ever had. >> great having you here. >> well, we thank the nun. >> sister rosemary sullivan. yeah, she saved my life.

>> thank you, doctor. >> i can't believe you called me dr. leary. just ahead, they're legends in their field. good morning. spectacular day. look at the forecast. 81 will be the high. temperatures right now in the upper 60s to partly sunny. there will be welcome shade clouds this afternoon. tomorrow another beautiful day with a high temperature of 85. then it starts to heat up and get humid again. 91 thursday. friday and saturday, shy of 100,

i remember i used to have a pop tent. i lived in this pop tent out here during the summer, and my dad had called out of the back door to wake me up and i'd have to stick my hand out of the tent to let him know i was awake. i slept on a cot in a little pop tent so i could be out closer to my chickens. i think that's why i was out there. >> everybody likes to be close to their chickens. legendary singer and songwriter neil young goes back to his hometown in the new film "neil young journeys." he takes us on that trip to visit his roots just before taking the stage at toronto's massey hall last year. >> the movie directed by oscar winner jonathan demme, is the

third concert film these two have made together, and we're delighted to have them both right here in studio 57. welcome. >> thank you very much. >> a great collaboration, the two of you. what makes it work? >> we like each other is a start. we have fun, you know? we respect each other, and so it's a give-and-take thing. it's a good relationship. >> good. good. it began with "southern man" and the title sequence? >> well, "southern man," i attempted to see if it would be possible to get a neil young song that addressed, you know, homophobia and aids prejudice in the same way that "southern man" addressed racism. and neil wrote that very beautiful song, "philadelphia." >> oh, no, he nailed it at the end. part of the lyrics, "city of brotherly love, place i call home, don't turn your back on me, i don't want to be alone. love lasts forever." i remember, neil, at the end of the movie, and the song comes and your voice, that velvety, liquidy voice of yours. you're like a puddle when you're

in the chair listening to that. you knew instantly, jonathan, that that's going to work? >> oh, my god, yeah. >> yes. neil, how do you describe your voice? i describe -- >> oh, i try to stay away from that one. >> do you? >> oh, yeah. i'll let other people describe. they can do that. >> i'll stick with velvet liquid, but this is what i learned about you. i love on the documentary, you and jonathan are going in a car, you're driving, and you say the best place for you to listen to music is in a car, and it doesn't matter what kind of radio it is. it could be a cheap radio, because i think most musicians think they need to have an elaborate sound system. about the you said, nope, the best place to listen to it is in a car. why? why is that? >> because you're moving. it's like a constantly changing picture. music and a changing picture is comfortable. if you stay in one place listening to music, it's hard for you to close your eyes. >> i guess it. >> if you're driving, i don't think you should do that don't close your eyes.

>> no, we shouldn't do that. >> i fight that all the time. >> listen to more than music. you're inside your own car and you're moving -- >> you're inside your own space. >> exactly. having done these, what do you look for? take "journeys." what are you looking for you don't know about this guy? what do you want us to see, hear, feel? >> you know, if you boil down to the earlier question, you know, what makes it work when we work together? it's neil's music, it's his songwriti songwriting, it's his musicianship, it's the character he assumes when he sings songs. so, my job is just to try to, as best i possibly can, figure out how we can kind of cinematically get inside these songs and get inside his themes and put them on screen as best we possibly can. in terms of the way "neil young journe journeys" wound up, it's a film,

but argumently a documentary. and we never want to repeat ourselves. the first film we did was "neil young heart of gold," the most elegant music film you can do, well designed. this piece is different because neil is alone on stage, and therefore, we're deprived of the ingredient that we had going for us on the other movies, which was the way neil interacts with the other musicians. >> but you shot it -- it almost looked like there were cameras on the guitar, cameras in the car, cameras everywhere. i heard you had six cameras at one point, true? because it's very simply shot. >> well, we have six camera operators, and then declan quinn, our whiz genius director of photography has little icon cameras, and they're about the size of a cigarette pack. and he attached them to unlikely places. and yeah, we were very excited with what came up with those. >> and when you write a song,

how do you do those? what are you looking for? >> i don't do anything. >> it comes to you. >> yeah, i just wait. it's like a hunter, you know, looking for a rabbit. they come out of the hole. but if you stand there looking down the hole -- >> you can't. >> -- it's not going to come out. i'm going to hang out over here. >> you're waiting for what? what are you waiting for? >> waiting for the rabbit. >> yeah, i know. >> i'm waiting for the rabbit to come out of the hole, and that's the song, see, so that's my little metaphor. >> but at one point in the documentary, charlie, there's the thing where you get so excited, it almost looks like you spit on the camera. it's created in -- >> i did spit on the camera. >> oh, you did spit? i wasn't sure, neil, what that was. >> that was phlegm. >> it was saliva it was not phlegm. >> was it saliva? it's saliva cam. another demme first, saliva cam. i saw that, i went, god, it's so psychedelic! it's all distorted.

he's gone like out over the deep end. people think he's a little bit of a straight filmmaker, but there's no way! no way! he's gone psychedelic on this movie. >> well, this happens to be a song where neil puts himselves in the shoes of a human being who's experimented with every drug known to man over the course of his lifetime and it's kind of a deranged, unhinged song that arrives at an exquisite moment of redemption, and it's our next to last song. and when, as fate would have it, the little camera attached to the microphone to get this amazing close-up we used in one other song without saliva cam. it just so happened that when neil unleashed the song, you know, as half the singers spew a little bit, and bam, the camera slipped. maybe it's because the saliva hit it. camera slipped down a little bit and we found -- >> changed the angle a bit. >> and it became the perfect shot to convey this deranged kind of journey that the singer takes. >> i take back what i said about you being straight.

i take it back let's get that straight. >> there's nothing auto biographical about that song, is there? >> yeah. >> no. >> no, yes. >> are they all auto biographical? >> some of them aren't. >> which are the most that are autobiographical. >> well, you know, almost all of them. i'm being as direct as i can. you know, really, they are all. i mean, you know, "crime in the city." they come out of me, and i'm just here. >> you love every bit of it. >> i really do, charlie, you know? it's not all great while it's happening, but i'm just really glad to be here for it. >> and so are we. >> yeah. beautiful music. >> thank you. thank you, gentlemen. >> thank you, charlie. thanks, gayle. >> "journeys" is the film, directed by john demme, starring neil young. >> it pays to have a little patience in life. this morning, author frank

partnoy will tell us why it's better to wait as long as possible to make the right decision. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

♪ waiting is the hardest part hello, shreveport, louisiana. we live in a fast-paced world that values decisions more than indecision, but frank partnoy says watch out for snap judgments. patience and timing are much better keys to success. >> indeed.nd timing are much so, what do you mean here, that we should procrastinate or we should delay for a moment before we act? >> i think procrastination has gotten a bad name, and i think part of what we're talking about is procrastinating, but delaying a little bit in all of our decisions. we know a lot from psychologists and behavioral economists about how we make decisions and what we should decide, and so one of the things i wanted to explore is when. how long should we delay various

decisions? and one of the things i found looking at all kinds of areas from sports to apologies to dating is that over and over, people make better decisions and they're happier when they delay. >> by how much? by how much? >> so, it depends on what the decision is. so, for example, if you're going out on a first date, often it could be an hour would be the right amount of time. if you're looking at a photo of someone, you'll make a snap decision. you'll make a snap judgment based on how attractive they are, what they look like, and that kind of snap judgment sometimes can be dangerous. so, it's just lunch is an international dating network that tells people, go to lunch, spend the entire lunch, don't make a snap judgment out of the gate. wait until the end of lunch. then at the end of lunch, make a decision about whether you'd like to see this person again. >> but is there a specific amount of time? because you say at one point, if you have an hour, wait 59 minutes. if you have a year, wait 365 days. that feels like the wrong kind of procrastination. >> so, the challenge is to figure out what kind of time world you're living in. basically, there are two steps to it. one is to figure out what's the maximum amount of time that i

can wait, how much delay for this particular kind of act. so, for example, if you're apologizing, how long should you wait to apologize? and then the second thing is, within that time frame to wait as long as you possibly can. and it depends on the -- for apologies, for example, if i just accidentally spilled a drink on you, if i spilled my water on you, then i should apologize right away, because i didn't intend to do anything wrong. but for more serious apologies, we should take time, because we need for the person we've wronged to be able to process information about what it is that we did and why, and they need time to vent also. and if we apologize too quickly, then we won't be effective. >> there's also something to be said for spontaneity, but let me come to what you wrote in "financial times." it is about tennis players, and you look at novak and you say to yourself, he's better because he can delay for a nanosecond, and therefore, his game is better. >> it's surprising, isn't it?

we think about him or jimmy conners, maybe the best returner of all time, we think they're good because they're fast, but they're good because they're slow. they're able to take the 500 mi miliseconds that they have available when the ball's speeding in, perfect their stroke, so they only need about a fifth of that for their swing, so they free up as much time as possible to take in information about the speed and trajectory of the ball. it's almost miraculous that they do all this. it's not even conscious, they're taking in all this information. one of the things i found was that this kind of approach of delaying, taking in information that tennis players follow is a approach we should follow for longer decisions in our lives. >> you also say that lunch is the best time to make a decision. i thought that was really interesting. >> well, and i -- >> lunchtime. >> lunchtime is a great time to make decisions. and i worked for morgan stanley in their tokyo office briefly, and there was a lunch break. the stock markets traded throughout the morning, and then we took 90 minutes off, and then they traded in the afternoon, and it would be great if we could do that in the u.s. markets, to take a break and pause and think about what it is we're about to do instead of

rushing head long into our trades. >> frank, thank you so much for, here you go little man. [ humming ] [ babbling ] the cheerios bandit got you again? [ both laugh ] ♪ the one and only, cheerios ...and now... you! [ giggles ] ♪ the one and only, cheerios
