captioning funded by cbs what a picture to kick us off this friday. good morning, and welcome to "the early show," everybody. i'm maggie rodriguez along with chris wragge. rags? >> as you can see from the video, i hope you're not flying united any time soon. i don't know how welcome you'll be. >> good morning, everybody. harry and julie are on assignment. coming up, more twists and turns into the investigation in michael jackson's death. l.a. police chief says this morning he's not ruling out any possible cause, including homicide, as they wait for the toxicology results to come back. we'll get the latest from the news desk in just a bit. also coming up, scary news coming out of the major summit on the h1n1 virus, or the swine flu, as we know it. officials saying a fall flu season poses a significant threat to millions of americans. we'll talk to jennifer ashton
7:02 am
about that as well. is the vaccine going to be ready in time? who needs to get it? first, the road is now clear for general motors to emerge from bankruptcy later today. cbs news correspondent dean reynolds has the latest from detroit. good morning, dean. >> reporter: good morning, maggie. the new gm is a lot leaner than the old gm in terms of brands and employees, and 60% of it will be owned by the federal government. to reach this point, the new gm is losing a lot of weight. pontiac, hummer, saab, and saturn will be discarded like old coats. only buick, chevrolet, cadillac, and gmc will survive. some 14,000 hourly workers will be shown the door along with about 4,000 white collar employees by next year. and of nearly 6,000 current dealers, 2,300 will be closed. indeed, gm may even switch logo colors from blue to green to stress an environmentally
7:03 am
friendly side. >> they're absolutely going to have to learn a new way of doing business. >> reporter: the deal will cost taxpayers $50 billion, but without the money, gm would have collapsed, and its remaining jobs would have gone down with it, along with a host of suppliers and their workers too. a cascading disaster in the midst of a recession that the white house wanted desperately to avoid. now, as for people who bought cars and trucks from the old gm, the new gm says warranties will be honors for vehicles bought before and during bankruptcy. maggie? >> cbs' dean reynolds. thanks, dean. joining us now exclusively is michigan governor jennifer granholm. good morning, governor. >> good morning, maggie. >> i have heard the words unprecedented, unbelievable, remarkable used to describe gm's quick xilt from bankruptcy. when something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. do you have any reservations about this going forward? >> well, there's good news and bad news. of course, the bad news is that
7:04 am
general motors is lightening its load in the sense of people, and that means for us more job losses, not just in michigan, but across the country, and more factories being closed down. but the good news, maggie, is that it is a new day for general motors. i can tell from you my perch here in michigan, that means a new day for michigan, a rebranding themselves in terms of lean and mean and green in particular. it will also help the u.s. become more energy independent as they produce cars like the volt, the electric vehicle. so it's a mixed bag, of course. but the fact that general motors is alive and will be well and thanks to the obama administration, there's a commitment long term to making sure we have a manufacturing sector in this country. all of that is good news, not just for michigan, but for the country. >> what do you say to american consumers who have reservations about embracing a gm that looks nothing like the one that they know, a gm that is 60% owned by the government?
7:05 am
how do you make the big sell? >> well, i think -- really, gm has to make the sell. as they would say, i'm sure it's all about the products that they produce. they will have four key brands. really for the taxpayers of the united states, the consequences of not doing this would have been devastating for the country. i mean, for millions of people across the country. the effect of losing a major, major manufacturer. and if you throw chrysler in, two major, major manufacturers means that whole supply chain would have gone down. the steel industry, the rubber industry, the glass industry, the electronics industry, you name it. it would have had a ripple effect that would have been devastating. so this means for america that we will be able to have a manufacturing sector. we can't be a great country unless we make things. those who are suppliers to the auto industry now have a chance of not just surviving but also being able to diversify to make the battery for that electric vehicle, to diversify themselves
7:06 am
to make energy products for the country. it's really a good news story, and i just want to say thank you to the obama administration for having faith in the american worker and the american manufacturing industry. >> governor jennifer granholm, thank you for your time this morning. >> you bet. >> take care. now let's check in with russ mitchell. he's at the news desk with a look at the other headlines. good morning. >> good morning to you at home. the investigation into michael jackson's death is focusing on his long history of prescription drug use. los angeles police investigators are examining evidence seized from jackson's home after his death last month. they are arranging interviews with the many doctors he used over the years, and they're awaiting the coroner's report on the exact cause of his death. chief bill bratton says homicide has not been ruled out. meanwhile, jackson's remains which were skirted away after jackson's memorial service have been found. his gold casket has been placed temporarily in a crypt owned by barry gordy of motown records at

hollywood's forest lawn cemetery. president obama meets with pope benedict today at the vatican. first, he's got to wrap up the g8 summit. cbs news senior white house correspondent bill plante is traveling with the president and joins us from vatican city. bill, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, russ. this is the site of the meeting later today. but at the g8 summit this morning, the president will wrap things up. the g8 summit is expanded to include more than 30 nations in various meetings because the original g8 powers realize they don't control the rest of the world anymore. the president met this morning with african leaders. the summit wraps up today focusing on delivering promised aid to increase food production. at dinner last night, a first ever presidential handshake with libya's leader moammar gadhafi. president reagan once called him the mad dog of the middle east. he's the current chairman of the african union and now on better terms with the u.s. other first-time meeting today with pope benedict xvi. the president says he hopes to find common ground with the pope on middle east peace,
7:08 am
immigration, and the fight against poverty, but the two men hold very different views on such issues as abortion and stem cell research. >> the pope won't mince words. he's definitely going to bring up the question of abortion. he's going to bring up the question of conscience protection clauses in the law, and he'll also bring up gay marriage and embryo stem cell research. there will be, i'm sure, uncomfortable moments, and they'll do the best to reach an agreement there or at least a clarity of position. >> reporter: white house officials say that they are confident that the president will find common ground with the pope despite those disagreements. next stop after rome, ghana, subsaharan africa. they chose ghana over kenya, where mr. obama is from, and other powers like algeria because it has a history of democratic government. russ? >> bill plante, thank you very much. bailed out insurance giant aig wants approval for a new round of bonuses.

7:10 am
vaccine? >> no, we would need two because there's one for the strain of the regular influenza virus, and this one would be specifically against h1n1. >> is there a pecking order? we always hear women and children? >> that's what this is most likely. school age children will the first round likely to get it because that's a major breeding ground for this virus. >> when we first heard the first cases of swine flu, it seemed like it was a panic. we haven't heard as much. it doesn't seem to be, i guess, on the forefront of everyone's mind. is it still a big issue? >> stts a huge issue both here in the country and worldwide. it's not going to go away. we'll continue to hear about it. bottom line, from the cdc, government, healthcare providers. we do not want people to panic. we want to be prepared. >> the president said that yesterday. he doesn't want to promote any kind of panic, but if the vaccine is not ready come fall, should we panic? >> i don't think we should panic. there will be as many doses available as we need.

7:19 am
were saying that they were afraid we might do something to their children and trash some of their belongings. and they were also saying like, oh, we don't want these people here and how did they even get here? >> how did that make you feel? >> it made me feel -- it made me have mixed feelings like i was mad, i was angry, i was upset. i was like -- it made me have mixed feelings. >> two days later, miss wright, you got a call from the board president saying that the board had changed its mind about allowing the kids to be part of the club. did he give you any reason? >> he gave me no reason at all, but some of the members were shouting while we were there. they were going to make sure that we did not return there at all. when i came to the bottom of the hill, some of the members started taking their children out of the pool right while our camp was there. >> we have tried to contact
7:20 am
them. we have not been able to. they have issued a statement saying this had nothing to do with race, that it was simply a question of the club being overcrowded when your kids were there. do you accept that, miss wright? >> i can't believe that they're rescinding, saying that, when i have e-mails proving that they knew just how many children were coming. >> marcus, what do you hope will be the lesson for people watching this and hearing this? >> i hope the lesson will be to teach people that everybody is like the same and that you shouldn't treat people differently just because a difference between you and them. like you have a different color skin or you look different, that doesn't mean that you're different from them. and that you shouldn't make fun of them. >> marcus allen, alethea wright, thank you so much for your time this morning. >> thank you so much. have a great day. >> have a great day. still to come, we'll meet up with george clooney as he lends

7:32 am
would be received as well as it has and take off as well as it has, pardon the pun? >> no, not at all. i put it up on monday night. when i went to bed, i had six hits. i was impressed with that number at that time. having over 1 million now is pretty overwhelming in three days. i'd initially thought that i would try for 1 million with the three videos, but i didn't expect this would happen. >> take me back. you're on a united flight in chicago a year ago. something catches your eye. what exactly was it? >> i was sitting on the back of a plane in chicago on a united airlines flight, and we were wait to go deplane to catch a connecting flight to omaha. and a woman behind me looked out the window, and she cried out, oh, mied go, they're throwing guitars outside. our bass player looked outside to see his bass guitar being thrown and mine was thrown before his, and ultimately that was damaged. >> that's the guitar in question with you now. is that correct? >> this is the one, my taylor guitar. >> this is an expensive piece of equipment. >> it's a $3,500 guitar.

it's not so much about the money, it's sentimental value, and it's a beautiful instrument. i've had it for over ten years and played it on all the sons of maxwell recordings and as well as writing some of the songs i'm most proud of were written on that guitar. $1,200 to fix it, but it still doesn't sound the same. when you went to united airlines about reparations for the repair work, what did they say? have they decided to give you money or anything along those lines to make up for your troubles? >> i haven't spoken to united yet. i understand they're interested in compensating me in some way, but i asked for -- ultimately in the end in november, i said, how about giving me $1,200 in flight vouchers to compensate me for the money to fix the guitar? i was told that was going to be the last word on it and really it wasn't their responsibility. they were sorry for what had happened, but nothing was going to happen with that. at that point, i decided to become active, and as i call it, my michael moore moment where i

8:11 am
all 50 states have lemon laws. they vary from state to state. you really have to do some research and figure out what the law says in your state. she's from ohio. so in ohio they have a very complex law, but getting down to the nitty gritty, in that state, if you have a problem three times within the first year or 18,000 miles and it's the same problem, can't be fixed, you could qualify as a lemon. the law goes on and on and on, so there's other parameters there too. that's the basic gist of it. >> if you think you have a car that might be a lemon, what do you do? >> the good thing with the lemon law is you can get free legal representation. you go up against not the dealership, but the manufacturer. the manufacturer of the vehicle. that's why you have to hire an attorney. don't be afraid, this is going to cost me a lot of money. it's absolutely free. you can go to lemonlawamerica.com and look under your state and see who's out there to represent people. >> we have a viewer who has a question on how to save money
8:12 am
from healthy foods. >> my name is paris from new york. i was wondering how to get the best bang for my buck when buying groceries but still trying to eat healthy and natural. >> good question. >> a lot of people are saying forget about the grocery store. they're doing community supported agriculture. this is growing like crazy across the country where you actually buy into a farm and you get fresh produce from this farm. so say you spend $20 a week. you pay the farmer. and then every week you get a basket of produce. and it really is seasonal, though. so there's a couple of things you need to keep in mind. if there's a drought, you might not have a very good year. also, it's june. so here in new york, your basket will be filled with things like lettuce and spinach. in august, it's going to be tomatoes. you can't request, oh, i want blueberries this week. whatever the farmer is growing at the time is what the basket will be. they say it's a cheaper way to get really great fresh produce. it's really growing across the country. >> if you're someone who doesn't
8:13 am
eat veggies or produce too often, maybe it's not the best for you. >> it may not be for you. you really have to do the analysis and figure out how much you're eating, and is it worth the money? it's about $20. it can vary from farm to farm. that's the average, $20 a week for a basket that weighs about ten pounds. >> let's go to the next question, by i'm finding we get over and over again from job seekers. >> hi, susan. i'm wondering what are the sectors that are insulated? if someone is out there looking for a job, where should they be looking? >> we know there's so many people looking for jobs right now. the latest reports out from may, 14.5 million americans are unemployed. jobs in construction down, manufacturing down, retail down, hospitality was flat. the one sector where we're seeing growth is healthcare. healthcare employment, jobs are up 24,000 jobs in may alone. so that is the one area. and it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to be a doctor or a nurse.
8:14 am
i mean, there's a lot of jobs in healthcare where you're never even going near a patient. you don't have to have a medical degree of any sort. >> think outside the box. think about things that people will always need and use is a good general rule. >> yeah. >> thank you so much. if you would like to ask susan a question either by e-mail or by sending a video, go to our website, earlyshow.cbsnews.com. we'll be right back. mommy, what does v-e-g-e-

>> hey, matt, what do you think of the climb today on summit day way up here? >> good. >> really? piece of cake? >> reporter: few of us would find summiting south america's tallest peak, the 27,000 foot mountain so easy. last year 11-year-old matt moniz became the youngest person to the top. matt's already conquered the tallest peak in europe, mt. elbrus, and in africa, the famed mt. kilimanjaro, spending time on each trip in community service projects. but the person he'd like to help most is at home, his best friend, 9-year-old ian hess. ian has pulmonary arterial hypertension, high blood pressure in his lungs that leaves him short of breath every day in the same way matt struggles for air on the highest peaks. ian's medical bills run more than $100,000 every year, and matt wants to help. so he's fund-raising the best way he knows how. matt plans to hike up 14 of colorado's 14,000-foot mountains in 14 days.
8:18 am
a goal few adults would set, but this boy will probably achieve one step at a time. priya david, cbs news, new york. >> and joining us exclusively from near the first two mountains they will climb are matt moniz and his father mike, along with matt's friend ian hess. good morning, guys. how are you all? >> doing great. >> great. >> good morning. >> what a great back drop. matt, let me ask you, how did you come up with this plan, 14 mountain ins 14 days? >> i just got off this big climb, and i remembered ian, and he has pulmonary hypertension. so i wanted to do something for him. so we decided to start climbing 14 14ers. >> mike, let me ask you, how proud are you of your son for taking on this type of endeavor? this is no easy task. not only what he's doing now, but the mountains he's climbed in the past. this is incredible. >> it's great. i'm so proud of matt. he has just a love for this sport, and he continued to
8:19 am
excel. we're just so impressed with his commitment and really touched by his generosity and commitment he's shown to his best friend ian. >> how has the support been so far? i know you're raising money, but how have the donations been? >> it's been great. we've had a wonderful outpouring of support from corporate sponsors. we've had -- we have 14 peaks that we sponsored. i think we have 2 left right now. we're still looking for a couple l more to go to our climbseven.com website. >> ian, sounds like you've got a pretty good best friend right there. what did you think when matt told you what he was going to do for you? >> i thought that it was thoughtful and that it would really -- i was really excited for matt. >> yeah, that's great. talk about having a great buddy like that. you're lucky. and, matt, you're lucky to have
8:20 am
ian as well. matt, let me ask you, when did you know you'd be such a great mountain climber? when did you first start doing this and really taking a liking to this? >> well, i started, i went to everest base camp, and after that, i was hooked. so after that we did elbrus in southern russia, kilimanjaro in tanzania. >> you have been to some great locations. you're starting today. what's the first mountain you're climbing today, and what does the rest of the day entail for snu >> first mountain i'm climbing today is gray's and torrey's. >> so you're doing two mountains in one day? >> yeah. >> we wish you the very best of luck. matt, mike, ian, again, continued success with this endeavor. we thank you for joining us this morning. best of luck. we can't wait to hear how everything turns out.
8:21 am
okay, guys? >> thank you. appreciate it. >> be good. be safe. how about that, huh? >> that is absolutely amazing. we want to put it on our website. if you want to help out, go to earlyshow.cbsnews.com. i'm officially in love with both of those boys. >> adorable kids snp >> what a buddy like that. >> no kidding. >> that's your best friend. whatever people can do, if they can donate, they can obviously use it. it goes to a wonderful cause. >> i want to talk about a new survey that just came out that reveals how much time women spend getting ready to go out. he want to you take a guess. dave? >> let me see. an eternity? >> no. >> close. >> for an evening. >> two hours. >> you? >> i'll say an hour and a half. >> i'd say three hours. >> oh, wow. >> what kind of women are you guys seeing? >> high maintenance. >> it's an hour and 12 minutes, which i think is completely excessive, but it's equivalent to three years of their lives. >> that's the average. >> and men on average -- >> men die earlier.
8:22 am
now you combine that situation -- >> now we know why men die earlier. men on average spend three months of their lives waiting around for women to get ready. can i weigh in? >> please. >> first of all, i counted. i spend an average of 34 minutes when i take really long getting ready. ask my husband. absolutely true. >> let's dial a friend right now. let's get mike up on the phone. >> absolutely true. i would love to dial your husband right now. >> i'm not lying. and patrice and kim, my hair and makeup people, can attest to it. >> oh, my hair and makeup people. she has people who do it for her, folks. >> even here at work, i only take half an hour when i have people do it for me. >> chris gets out of jiffy lube in under an hour. >> and i get the brakes done as well. it's incredible. >> i don't want to call you out, but i do think you take especially long. >> russ and irre are ready in l four minutes. >> t

nutritious. time now for an old world italian meal and some amazing spaghetti sauce, courtesy of john delucie, executive chef of the waverly inn here in new york city and author of a new book called "the hunger." we're going to make sauce on the grill? >> we're going to make sauce on the grill. this came about because i lived out in the hamptons for a while. during the summer, it was so hot in my little house that i didn't want to turn the gas on. i tried to figure how i could make a dish without turning the oven on because we didn't have ac. i took a look at these gorgeous tomatoes. beefsteak tomatoes from new jersey. from the farm stand. >> they have to be beefsteak for this recipe? >> it's a better product. it's genetically engineered. it's a real tomato. >> what do we do first? >> we cut them in half and sort of squeeze out the juice. this is a little messy. tomatoes are 90% water, and we've got to get the water out
8:33 am
of them. so we take them like that, and then what we do is i'm going to add a little garlic. i'm going to add a little salt. >> right on top of the tomato? >> right on top. we're going to have about five of these. taking some parsley and basil fresh off the farm. >> i could eat it just like that, by the way. >> wouldn't be bad. and i'm going to walk over here and i have them already going on the grill. >> how long have they been here? >> they've been seven or eight minutes, maybe a little longer. >> can you believe how good this looks? >> you can see how they're starting to bubble and cook on the grill. >> and charcoal, is it really, really hot? >> charcoal is the preferred way to cook rather than gas. gas is much easier, but this is much more flavorful. you can see the char on here. this is exactly what you want. >> when do you know they're ready? >> when they look like they can't go any more. >> very good. >> we take these off like this. look at that. that's what you want. keep the skin on because the skin holds all of the smoke.

that's what you're looking for in the flavor. take this off. >> again, i could eat this just like that. >> so come over here. and i'm going to just push them right onto the board. >> perfect. >> if you grab that knife. >> sure. >> just chop them up. just don't cut yourself on camera. >> something like this. >> something like that. >> and we're going to add more herbs, just like that. >> top chef. she's amazing. >> there you go. like that. and then i'm going to -- we have our pasta. right here. al dente, which we cooked earlier. i'm going to go -- let's put it here first onto the plate. this does get a little messy. >> look how delicious that is. >> they go right on top. >> and you mix it all together, and you're good to go. and you serve it with a nice -- >> parmesan.
