"early" this thursday morning, new judge on "american idol." "early" this thursday morning, september 10th, 2009. captioning funded by cbs good morning and welcome to "the early show." i'm hear smith along with maggie rodriguez about. julie chen is on assignment. >> remember yesterday how we talked about how a lot of people thought the date 9-09-09 was a lucky number? at least one thought it was unlucky, he thought it was 666 turned us down that he hijacked a plane. luckily it landed safely. they ushed all those to safely including a couple newly

married. what a story they have to tell. we will hear from them ahead this morning. first, though, president obama is looking to turn the tide with his address to a joints session of conditioning last night. he's been facing growing opposition to his health care reform plans. here's cbs news senior white house correspondent bill plante with more. good morning, bill. >> reporter: good morning. it was kind of a light a state of the union address, a lot 6 pomp and say money as the president reintroduced his plan. he wants universal coverage, everybody required to carry health insurance, and he also wants insurance companies not to be able to drop or deny coverage. >> now is the season for action. >> reporter: the president tried to clear up confusion about what exactly he wants and how to pay for it. >> i will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficit. either now or in the future. >> reporter: mr. obama estimates the cost of health care reformat $900 billion over ten years, but says the money will come from finding savings in the system.

economists say that won't work. >> the program will cost much more than projected and exceed the additional taxes he choose it is to levy. >> reporter: the president again endorsed a public insurance option to compete with private insurer, but he didn't insist on it. >> the public option is only a means to that end. we should remain open to other ideas that accomplish our ultimate ultimate goal. >> reporter: mr. obama also went after what he called bogus claims suches the charge that the government would have the you power to kill off seniors by rationing end of life care. >> now, such a charge would be laughable if it weren't so cynical and irresponsible. >> reporter: he also denied that the kind of reform he wants will insure illegal immigrants which caused republican joe wilson of south carolina to shout out "you lie." >> you lie! >> not true. >> reporter: wilson sat restlessly through the rest of the president's address and later issued an apology saying "i let my emotions get the befs of my."

the republican rebuttal to the president called for congress to start over on a bipartisan health care plan. >> replacing your family's current health care with government run health care is not the answer. in fact, it will make health care much more expensive. >> reporter: reaction to the speech from members of congress was mixed, particularly among fiscal conservatives in the president's own party whose votes will be key. the president will embark on a new wave of sales trips. he's going out saturday, fly out monday and tuesday to try to sell this plan. making xwi? >> all right, bill plante, thanks. "the early show" convened a focus group to see how the speech play order main street. we condition include those who said that their minds were already made up about this. we wanted to hear from knows who were waiting to be swayed. one way are on the other, by what the president said. early show national koerpt hattie kaufman has the results. >> reporter: nearly 3,000 americans from all walks of life watcheded the president from a las vegas conference room. they listened stone faced, their

hands doing the talking. by moving dials up wen they heard something they liked, down when they didn't. >> no one should go broke because they get sick. >> reporter: how many of you got the clarity you were hoping to get from the president's speech tonight? >> this is the first time i have heard a synopsis that synthesized the whole concept in one sitting and i was very reassured by that. >> he hasn't answered any questions as far as i'm concerned. >> reporter: the biggest spike showing approval came when the president said he would not build a new health system from scratch. >> i believe it makes more system to build on what works and fix what doesn't. >> we have the best system. it's just we just need to piks it. >> reporter: the dials flat lined when obama referred to a public option. >> the public insurance option would have to be self-sufficient. >> he says he's not going to add a dime to the deficit, but it seems like that doesn't ever seem to happen. >> what about his statement that everyone has to have insurance? >> would i have liked to have just known more about the newspapers in all of these

aspects. >> reporter: lay it out. how much it will cost for each one these things. >> jaw in the. >> reporter: the group responded favorably when he took on insurance company ps. >> it will be defense the law for insurance companies to deny you coverage because of a pre-existing condition. >> i'm a cancer survivor. what he said about an insurance company not denying me service that eat biggest thing for me. >> reporter: the room got reassurance with a healthy dose of wait and see. hattie kaufman, cbs news, las vegas. >> so his speech now moved the debate forward some congress. let's ask vice president joe biden. good morning. >> good morning. how are you? >> i'm well. i want to start first with congressman joe wilson shouting out last night, you're lying. he apologized later, but does this not i alwill strals the energy of the opposition? can this be done in a bipartisan fashion? >> sure it can, because if you notice what also happened

immediately, member of his own party denounced what he said and how demeaned the congress and he apologized. so i think the real message here is huh quickly the republican leadership distanced themselves from the congress me's assertion. >> you had the best seat in the house. he had very clear view of most of the republicans during the speech. there were moments of clear agreement, and there were plenty of other moments when there was absolute silence, if not down right -- the body language was very clear, we're going to have none of this. how is this president going to bring both sides together? >> well, the way he'll bring both sides together is if you notice where there was overwhelming agreement, there was overwhelming agreement on on the need for massive insurance reform so you could not have companies deny coverage when you had insurance, you couldn't go bankrupt which some people do now because they cut off -- they have limits on on what coverage

you get. and so on and so forth. so you saw overwhelming 2k3wre789 there. there was another agreement, and i thought it was really telling, what the president did was recenter the debate because he said if you like thing the way they are, go had don't participate, but all of you who you thinks there's a need for real reform, you have to get in the game. and evening after the august recess and after all the misrepresentations about death panels and we're going to give insurance to i legal immigrants, et cetera -- >> of which there there are still plenty of people believe that will still happen. sarah palin wrote about it yesterday sdil in the "wall street journal." >> what can i say? look, the fact of the matter is that the people in that chamber don't believe it. 85% of the members of both parties know that's not true. and so there will be those who appeal to extreme positions, but the vast majority -- look, had is the first time -- harry, i

was a senator a long time. this is the first time that the major committees, four out of five and the fifth will do it shortly, actually have come forward with significant reforms. now it's time to put them together. the president laid out how to do it. >> let's talk about money for a second. the president promised that this will not increase the deficit, which i think to anybody who's got a beating heart says that defies credit duality. how in the world is this actually going to get paid for it and how will it be paid for in a way that doesn't increase the deficit? >> here's what i would say temperature it anybody who has a brain and listened to him would know that he meant exactly what he said. he didn't say it wasn't going to cost any money. he said unlike the last few proposals like the bush proposal with regard to prescription drugs, we're not going to add it to the burden of our children. we're going to pay for on it. and he laid out how he's going to pay for it. he said there's an incredible

amount of waste in medicare and medicaid, every expert agrees on that. pointed out how we're paying over $100 billion to subsidize insurance companies, provide, you know, additional insurance for medicare -- >> but the congressional budget office looked at this and says it complaint be done. this can't be done this way. it won't pay for itself. >> no, no, harry, they didn't say that. they said it couldn't all be paid for that. that's a big chunk of it. then he went on and he pointed out there's going to be a fee on on insurance companies who issue these gold plated policies with, you know, wall street types getting $40,000 health insurance policies that cost $30,000, $40,000. that raises billions of dollars. >> mr. vice president, thank you so much for your time this morning. do appreciate it, sir. >> thanks an awful lot. >> you bet. it is an amazing thing in this country when there's joint session of kopg. it's a wonderful thing, but people are almost in a celebratory mood, this is our

republic and this is how it works and people are entering in to the chamber and this is what was interesting to me last night. of course there's a lot of shaking hands. and then as the president wept through, there was a lot of embracing. got to be a lot of kissing. a lot of -- twice -- got a two-information with hillary clinton. >> does that surprise you you because of the local swine flu thing or do you think they're being hypocritical? >> no didn't they hear some in france it's now illegal practically. but hillary clinton even got a kiss on the cheek from john boehner. even bipartisan. >> at least at that moment. russ mitchell is at the news desk. >> the crew guys give me kisses every morning when i walk in. i don't know but guys. >> that's just gross. >> thank you, maggie. moving on. good morning, everybody. efforts to help troubled morts fwanlg holders may be having an impact. a new report out this morning finds the foreclosure rate is

some big news on on the medical front this morning. an fda panel is recommending vaccinating boys against the virus that is the main cause of cervical cancer. and not unlike the vaccine for girl, it's causing a bet of controversy. here's cbs medical correspondent dr. john lapook. >> reporter: allison is a busy mother of five. her 15-year-old daughter has already had the hpv vaccine and sabino would jump at the chance to give it to her boys. >> i'm thrilled the vaccine is available for boys. i do not want to ever find out

that my boys were contributing to the spreading of the disease. >> reporter: merck presented three studies of more than 5,000 boys and men. gardasil was 89% effective at preventing genital warts. merck did not specifically test if vaccinating males will prevent the transmission of hpv, but it believes if gardasil can redugs 89% of genital lesion, it will likely reduce the spread of cancer? women. the series of three shots cast $390, but it's not the cost that has some saying guard sill's thought worth it. >> i would love my daughter and my son to get a vaccination that would prevent any kind of hpv, but it has to be at no cost, and i don't mean financial cost. i mean at no health risk cost. >> reporter: allison sabino is not worried. >> i think there are risks involved in any vaccine that you give your children, however i feel in the case of gardasil, guy he will the benefits outweigh the risks.

>> reporter: dr. john lapook, cbs news, this morning. joining us now dr. holly phillips. good morning. i know plenty of parents of girls who aren't sure about giving this vaccine because of the potential risks. so what is the best argument that a doctor could make for giving it to boys who aren't even at risk for cervical cancer? >> there are three reasons. the first is that the vaccine cuts down on genital warts. and even though those may not be life threat anything, they're certainly embear ration and certainly hard for boys to go through. later in life there's a connection with throat and anal canc cancer. and then, finally, you can make the argument that you could possibly eradicate an sbir illness within a population, which is cervical can serk by cutting down on on hpv in both men and women, we can really make a huge difference in cervical cancer. >> speaking of things that affect our children, i'd like to ask you about these new numbers regarding h1n1 that came out this morning. 73% of american colleges and universities are reporting cases already in september.

most of the cases in the midwest and southeast. as a doctor, is that disconcerting to you? >> i have to say, it's disconcerting, but not surprising. wuf to remember the center fs f disease control said that in a worst case scenario, 50% would be exposed to h1n1. so it's disconcerting that already we're seeing thousands of case, but there's good news. most of these a mild, the kids are crust using fluids and rest and staying away from other kids and getting better on their own. >> the schools aren't even testing, they're just recommending relax, stay home and get over the flu. >> and that's really the right treatment at this point. >> all right, dr. holly phillip, thank you so much. coming up, this wasn't in their plans. we'll talk to two young newlyweds hijack order their honey hoon. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. >> announcer: this portion of "the early show" sponsored by the mercedes-benz you must experience (announcer) this is nine generations of the world's most revered luxury sedan.

they were searching people's bags. but they didn't tell us anything. >> we saw the people around the plane, but no one came on the plane until we were off. >> so this hijacker didn't make a big commotion on the plane, hillary? >> no, not at all. we didn't -- the people on on the airplane kept us very calm. they didn't tell us that there was any kind of problem about. we just thought it was protocol and they were check people and when they askeded to us get off, it was just -- >> looking back now, bryant, is there anything that in hindsight you're like, yeah, during the flight, i noticed that was kind of weird? >> they definitely kept people in their seats more than usual. anytime more than two or three people would get up to use the bathroom or get baggage, immediately they would tell them to sit down, please stay in your seats. and when we landed, the landing took place in about a minute, under a minute, maybe 30 seconds. they just came some to the runway faster than i've ever

seen a plane come into a runway before. so they already knew at this point. and as soon as we came to the runway, there were the security officers and the army and everybody had machine guns. so they were there before we even got there. >> a crazy way to end your honeymoon. hillary shiplet, bryant jaquez, thanks a lot. >> thank you. now let's check in again with lonnie quinn. good morning. >> good morning. they have a story to tell. nobody likes a rainy forecast unless you really need the rain and that's what i'm talking about for places like texas into louisiana today. one to three inches of rain is what you'll pick up over the next couple of days and keep in mind, places like san antonio, corpus christi, you are running over a foot below where you should be. now, the bigger picture will show us some beautiful weather in the midsection of the country. that's really my pick of the day. around the del mar have a peninsula, a low pressure system

would you categorize this? >> i think it's a pretty big one. paula abdul not coming back to idol was big enough. i think a lot of people viewed it as maybe a mistake to not bring her back. she was that random kind of whacky wild card in there next to the very refined tone of simon and randy and kara. people like laughing at paula abdul. and i think the difference is here is that ellen will also bring humor, except people will be laughing with her. ellen is a came median. she said from the start yesterday when she announced this, i'm in the amuse sish shon, i have no technical musical back ground, but i sit there on the couch and i watch it i've never missed an episode. >> she wants to be a people's representative. >> she is. she's an every man or an every woman. >> here's the question, though. you look at the blogosphere and it is just -- it is on fire with opinion, there are meant of people very supportive, other people say you can't do this, don't mess with my idol.

ends up being a very big sort of cultural shift. >> that's right, but i think it's probably going to pay off. and they have been playing with idol for years now. they added kara last season, they have more semifinalists now than they used to have, they wanted to you really get to know people. they've been tweaking the format. fox has been trying to keep it fresh. >> and that sense that they really did -- there's sort of an overriding sense that maybe the show has lost its mojo. is this what they need to do to get it back? >> i think so. ellen is great tv. shall is he very funny. she already has a show, she's extremely popular. you wanted to be with ellen, you want to sit on the couch next to ellen. do you want want to sit on the couch next to simon in could you ever imagine simon having a talk show? no. ellen brings a warmth -- >> yes, absolutely. >> i couldn't. ellen brings a warmth. she has a lovely persona. an i think that is shall what of what she has in common with paula in that people kind of

appreciated watching her. >> people want it dance with her. >> kre. >>. >> bradley jacobs, thanks so much. now maggie. coming up, a serious health concern about teens and a commonly prescribed medicine. you're watching "the early show" on cbs.

conversation to be had because a million prescriptions for this are written every month. >> that's right. and what's important to know is that when these medications are used properly, they're very safe and effective medicines. >> have you ever heard of overexertion as a problem for kids taking this medicine? is there a warning about this anywhere? >> well, the things that we do know about this medication, the most common side effects are decreased appetite, insomnia, you can see some tics, increased blood pressure and increased heart rate. those are the things we see most commonly. there are more serious side effects that have been associated with the medications and one that's sort of gotten a lot of attention is sudden cardiac death. but it's important to note that the american cad might have pediatrics holding the position that the incidence of sudden cardiac death this children on these medications is no different than the incidence in the general population. and what we take away from that is anytime we screen -- anytime we put a patient on one these medications, we always screen them for cardiac disease first. >> what do experts recommend as far as screening?

>> the recommendation starts with a very careful history. you want to know if there's any history of arrhythmia or sud cardiac death in the family, you want on do a focused cardiac exam, listening to the heart, and if anything sort of comes up, then as a physician, i would refer the patient to to a cardiologist. >> as a general rule is it okay for kids taking these adhd medications to participate some sports in school some. >> if they've gone dlu the screening process, absolutely. >> dr. levine, thank you very much. still ahead, we have another doctor on the show, dr. phil, to talk about jaycee dugard's story and his new season. keep it right here. nbdcbs he "th watch sponsored by america's milk processors. got milk? 9

>> he can't be perfect, right? first let's go inside to russ mitchell at the news desk. >>. good morning. some congressional republicans say president obama missed a chance to build bipartisan support for his health care reform plan. speaking to a joint session of congress last night, mr. obama spoke in favor of the so-called government option, but said he remains open to other ideas. the president promised to protect medicare and lashed out at opponents he accused of using scare tactics. >> i will not waste time with those who have made the calculation that it's better poll tick its to kill this plan than to improve it. >> the president also said illegal immigrants would not benefit from his proposals. that brought an unusual breach of decorum in these types of proceedings from republican congressman joe will so who calleded the president a liar. >> who are here illegally. >> you lie! >> it's not true. >> later wilson apologized, saying i let my emotions get the best of me. my comments were inappropriate

and regrettable, end quote. there is a new twist on the unfolding story of better nad madoff. in a new lie released transcript of a 2005 phone conversation, madoff coach as potential witness about sec regulators. madoff says, quote, you don't have to be too brilliant to fool them, end quote. and she stunned opponent bes and wowed crowd at the u.s. open, but melanie oudin finally met her match. the 17-year-old lostler quarter final match to caroline wozniacki of denmark. final score 6-2rks 6-2. it is now 8:04. let's go outside to lonnie quinn for another check of the weather. good morning. that tennis match yesterday, the gallon from denmark is only 19. a couple teenagers out there playing. i'll tell you, we have a great looking crew. a lot of pink in the crowd. a little event going on this weekend. i'd leak to into drus you to to dr. harris son, you are the executive officer.

what takes place had weekend in central park? >> this week this central park, this sunday actually, september 13th, it's our race for the cure. our signature fund-raiser. we're out there raising awareness for people about breast cancer. >> and cbs is proud to be a sponsor of this event and we worked jointly with you. and together we are going to raise how much money this rear? >> our goal it this year is to raise at least $6 million. >> let's get out there. we hope it to see you? central park. but let's talk weather because what i'm looking at out there is really just a nasty setup for areas from, say, maryland to southern jersey today. later today and tomorrow, it just gets nasty all the way this to southern new england. we're talking about gusty wind, 20, 30 miles an hour, maybe one to two inches of rain. that kind up being a

>> announcer: this weather report sponsored by boost kid essentials. find valuable savings at kid essentials.com. if you're wearing pink, you're supporting the cause to stamp out breast cancer. but some people really like to wear pink. that's a good look for you. i like it. harry, let's get into you. one critical component of the health care reform debate is pretty simple. how will it be funded and who exactly will pay. president obama pledged last night that he won't sign any plan that adds a dime to the deficit. jill schlesinger is editor-at-large for cbsmoneywatch.com. she's here with some answers.

so now the price tag is down to 900 build, which some people have said sounds better because it's less than a trillion. >> when you have the b versus a t, somehow we're supposed to feel better about that. >> do we know now any more than we did before about how this is actually going to get paid for? >> no, we have the old information and there's a lot of ways that we're thinking about paying for this. the president seems to be very hell bent on cutting costs. that's medicare and medicaid. and they're talking about a $400 billion to $500 billion savings by doing that. it's unclear how. those making more than $250,000, remember that benchmark number, we're seeing some ideas about taxes, surcharg chitemized izem emctdudeions. the rich people may have du pay more. you see this last point, penalize employers lo don't offer health insurance. had this is a real bone of contention for small business owners. >> big time, yeah. i think the other thing that they keep thinking, they'll curb medicare costs is the way it gets doled out every year through this congressional

process. they'll bring it to sort of a committee as opposed on to letting the individual congressman throw the dollars out. so we'll see about that, too. if if you you are a person making, say -- a family making $43,000 a year, how is this going to affect you? >> in the original house plan, they talked about providing subsidies for families who were earning up to four times the poverty level. so as an individual that would be about 43 thoid. a family up to $88,000. one of the ways they'll try to reduce the cost that's being floated right now, potentially throwering that threshold. we'll drop it down to three times the poverty level. so that could hurt some people who make -- say a family making $85,000 a year. you may not get the subsidies. that will be a big issue. >> medicare and medicaid, will they be affected? >> here's the question. if you're going to squeeze a $400 billion or $500 billion out of sos the logical conclusion is will my quality of

care suffer. it has always been promised, no, absolutely not, but it would seem preposterous to imagine that could you squeeze that much money out without having your health care affected. this is going to be a big issue going forward here. >> we are going to stay in touch with you as this keeps grinding on through congress this fall. thanks so much. still ahead, the harrowing details of jaycee dugard's kidnapping are starting to come into focus. dr. phil some being graduate will be here to help us understand her ordeal when we come back. my muscles ached all over.

i felt this deep lingering pain that was a complete mystery to me. my doctor diagnosed it as fibromyalgia muscle pain and then he recommended lyrica. fibromyalgia is thought to be the result of over-active nerves that cause chronic, widespread pain. lyrica is fda-approved to help relieve the unique pain of fibromyalgia. and with less pain, i can do more during my day. how sweet is that? lyrica is not for everyone. tell you doctor about any serious allergic reaction that causes swelling or affects breathing or skin, or changes eyesight including blurry vision or muscle pain with fever or tired feeling. lyrica may cause suicidal thoughts or actions in a very small number of people. some of the most common side effects of lyrica are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands and feet.

do not drink alcohol while taking lyrica. you should never drive or operate machinery until u know how lyrica affects you. if you think you might have fibromyalgia, ask your doctor about lyrica. cation to lower your bad cholesterol but your good cholesterol and triglycerides are still out of line? then you may not be seeing the whole picture. ask your doctor about trilipix. if you're at high risk of heart disease and taking a statin to lower bad cholesterol, along with diet, adding trilipix can lower fatty triglycerides and raise good cholesterol to help improve all three cholesterol numbers. trilipix has not been shown to prevent heart attacks or stroke more than a statin alone. trilipix is not for everyone, including people with liver, gallbladder, or severe kidney disease,

or nursing women. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you are pregnant or may become pregnant. blood tests are needed before and during treatment to check for liver problems. contact your doctor if you develop unexplained muscle pain or weakness, as this can be a sign of a rare but serious side effect. this risk may be increased when trilipix is used with a statin. if you cannot afford your medication, call 1-866-4-trilipix for more information. trilipix. there's more to cholesterol. get the picture. welcome back. this morning we're learning more about what happened to jaycee dugard in the days and months after her kidnapping 18 years ago. and it is as troubling as you'd expect. cbs news correspondent ben tracy has the latest from los angeles. >> reporter: the last time she was seen, it was 1991. the 11-year-old was at the bus stop near her house in south

lake tahoe when she was dragged in to a car, allegedly by phillip and nancy garrido. >> once she was in the car, they pushed her down on the floor boards, threatened her and took her straight away to antioch, california. >> reporter: former san francisco prosecutor michael cardoso say police sources tell him it was years before she was allowed in the public. >> they putner a backyard in a tent or one of the outbuildings pack there, they left her in that backyard for 3 1/2 years before they let her get out into public. >> reporter: but in 1993, just two years into the ordeal, phillip garrido spent one month in jail on a parole violation. during that time, its believed that nancy was in charge of jaycee. and when phillip got out of jail, it's believed that's when he fathered the first of jaycee's two daughters. >> when this case proceeds to trial, nancy garrido will be as every bit as culpable as philly garrido. >> reporter: more recently, jaycee and children seemed to be

allowed to interact with neighbor, but nobody knew what was really going on in that backyard for both of the 18 years. ben tracy, cbs new, los angeles. >> we're joined by dr. phil, the best selling author and host of the dr. fill show which launches its eighth season next monday. good morning and congratulations. >> into xw morning. thank you. >> i want it to talk about your new season, bifirst let's me ask you about this story which i know you dedicated an hour to last week. you were shaking your head during the whole piece. >> its see so hard to wrap your mind around something like that. one of the most frustrating things for me that people because i guess they can't wrap their minds around it are asking how could she be controlled like that. when you're 11 years old and you are abducted by a you power figure, the number one tool of an abuser is isolation. and it seems that this girl was isolated forever before she ever got any ability to move around. and when you're 11 years old, you're so vulnerable.

i don't ask myself how that could happen. i ask myself how anything else could happen. and it's going to be a very tough road back for her and even a tough road to those two girls because they don't have any anchor in the real world. she at least had 4,000 days with her parents and like 9,000 days with this guy. it will just be so difficult for them to find their way back. but it can happen. >> how do you explain to those girls, do you explain to them that their father is actually a kidnapper who raped their >> sey >> see, everybody knows what's gone on, that this guy has allegedly done all these thing, but from their perspective, this is the only father they've known. what we don't know yet is what he did with them. because we know what he's alleged to have done with jaycee. rest these girls and what kind of connection has he -- toxic connection has he formed with them. all of this will have to be

unraveled and it will be very, very slow going. there will be a mix of emotions where they're actually grieving the loss of this person and missing him being but then learning what has happened and it's going to be such conflict that they can really fall throughout cracks if great care is not taken. >> such an important topic. and i know you'll be addressing a lot of point topics in your eighth season, is kicking off with something different. good. >> for the first time ever, we're going live right here from new york on monday. we're very excited about that. we'll be up here on the east coast all week. i think that our show, if i can beat our own drum, i think our show is more relevant now than it's ever been because everything that's going on in people's lives right now. the stress and pressure of the economy, explosion of the internet, things that are bombarding our children. and in years past, i have oftentimes been very direct as you know. i'll get in somebody's face and

tell them the truth as i see it. because i felt like people have kneeleded a wake-up call. but you mow what, i think people know what the problems are this year. it's the biggest change i've seen in the year from last summer when we were getting forward season seven. i've seen the biggest shift. i think people know the problems this year. >> so is it more solution orient some had. >> i think they're very much looking for solutions. i've been in their face for give them a weakup call. i've got their back now. because i think they know the problems. i'm still going to be very direct, but we're going to do this together. we're in it together, we're going to do it together. i've never been more excited. >> and i love you how you interact with people on the street. we want to show a quick clip you of the new season. this is fun. >> who are you talking to? >> right now in. >> no, when you're texting. you're talking to me right now. >> i talk to my friends. >> but isn't she your friend? my attitude is if you would rather be talking to them, then go be with them. >> dr. phil, straight talking

dr. phil, as always, thank you so much. >> good to see you. remember you can catch the new season beginning monday, september 14th, and be careful, you just might run into him on the street. check your local listings for details. coming up next, two great mayors and one amazing act stress wapts to you get involved. and we'll explenwhn we return. paying $8 a day for lunch can add up fast. so i'm packing my own lunch now-- for less than $3. thanks to walmart. just two times a week saves my family over $500 a year. save money. live better. walmart.

some big city mayors and the entertain want industry are looking for volunteers. joining us now from gracie mansion, the mayor's residence here in manhattan, new yk mayor michael bloomberg and washington, d.c. mayor adrian fenty. >> and you see there along with the mayors from the good wife oig christina baranski. good morning to you. >> very nice setting. mayor bloomberg, let me start with you. how will we get people across the country to volunteer more?

>> what we have to do is match people who are interested this volunteering with organizations that need them particularly need the skills that each individual brings. each of us can do a different thing. and there's a great demand in neighborhoods to really help, great demand no mayors to find ways particularly in tough economic times to mobilize volunteers. therd asked us all it to volunteer, congress passed the kennedy serve america act, and the mayors are there on the front lines rolling up their sleeves and trying to find ways that people can really do things. you can help senior, you can help the environment, you can help students. whole variety of things and i just wanted to thank the entertainment industry foundation for really coming into this and adding an enormous amount nationwide before. >> yes, christine, you have a new show, "the good wife." how is the show and the network participating in the event today? >> well, i think we'll try to write a plot line in. we play lawyers on the show. i play the head of a law firm. so maybe my character can do

some pro bono work. we'll figure out something very clever. i just am very proud of cbs and all the networks for using this medium, our great powerful medium, to do something that our president and our leaders know is so important. it's a moment in history when we can really rise to the occasion and i'm proud of the enter takenment industry for taking this on. >> mayor fenty, let me get to you. it's very interesting as the recession started, there was a big rush of people going some to volunteer. now that it's really set in, ewen with high unemployment, it's starting to ebb away again. how do you light the fire under folks to get them to participate more in their communities? >> you can tell people that the government can't do it all the way kennedy did, but it just helps so much having a president who does these call for actions, the passing of the legislation,

the inaugural speech about being a part of your country again. we're seeing in washington, d.c. thousands more people coming to the city during inauguration. we had a record number of people volunteering. our challenge as mayors is to get 2

saturday chris wrag gi is here with an exclusive look at the progress being made here in manhattan at ground zero. >> this summer a controversial report announce that had completion dates would be pushed back five years to 2018 at the earliest. we decided to go straight to the source, the two parties responsible for rebuilding the site, and we did find advisable signs of progress and some accurate completion dates. the eight years since 9/11 seemed like an eternity for an impatient nation waiting to see ground zero right built. >> all i want to do is build these buildings. >> reporter: but the most impatient of all may be developer larry silverstein. >> this is a critical part. they have to get this this going. >> reporter: silverstein blames delays on the port authority who has control over rebuilding ground zero. authority executive director chris ward calls it the world's most complicated site and says progress is being made.

>> it's not a pit. it's not ground zero. now takes sign of rebuilding. and it's a sign of real hope. >> reporter: so how complex a construction site is this here at ground zero right now? 16 acres, six stories of work. and this is the back side of tower four. to start, we took a walk along the new greenwich street that strats what workers call the silverstein bathtub where towers four and five once stood from the port authority bathtub where there were the north and south towers. >> is there a competition between the two? >> i won't go there because i think there is, but -- >> reporter: on the silverstein sides towers two, three and four are planned along with the port authority's transportation hub. we are inside tower four, two stories below street level. this month tower four will reach ground level on on its way up to 64 stories. completion at a time? >> it takes to 2014 to build tower four, 2015 for tower two and 2016 for tower three.

>> i can definitely say that there's a lot being done. while you're asleep, we're getting it done. >> reporter: on the port authority side, construction is well under way on the 9/11 memorial. and on tower one, known as the freedom tower. >> the freedom tower will be done in 2013. >> reporter: ironworker superintendents kevin murphy took us 105 feet up tower one which will be new york city's tallest skyscraper, topping out at 1776 feet. >> my father was a foreman on the original world trade center. it's a big thing for a lot of these guys to be on this job site. >> reporter: the 9/11 memorial's footprints for the north and south towers are visible now. i'm standing ground level on the 9/11 memorial. this is a spot where family and friends there all over the world will be able to come and pay their respects. the port authority says the memorial's museum will be ready for the 10th niversary. and the plaza with its trees and reflecting pools by the year 2013. and the big question remains

about towers two and three. this are would philosophies at play. silverstein wants to take the about you build it, they will come approach. the port authority has a much more practical cal view with commercial real estate market being in the tank right now, they think they need to be a little bit more prudent and maybe wait and see. low rise buildings that are either residential, hotel space, retail space, with the ability to build on those buildings should the space become required because tenants right now are a big issue. >> very hard to come by. i was in that building with larry silverstein looking down at this hole a year ago right at this time. i'm stunned to see the progress. the ten year anniversary is coming up in just a matter -- the clock is already ticking. will people be able to go there and see something that resembles a memorial? >> right now if you were to go there now, like i mentioned, you can see the footprints of the north and the south tower where the reflecting pools will be. the plaza level will be, they've told me, will be ready for the 10th an ver ris. the museum itself which is below

that, that will still take another year and a half to between years to complete. there is a lot of square footage that needs to be taken care of that is below grade that you can't see. so much work has been done. you now they're at ground level and the construction workers tell me themselves they're pouring concrete, the steel is there, these becomings will fly up. for the first time in eight year, you can now see progress. >> there really is a big difference. thanks so much. where do cameron diaz, demi moore oig and anne hathaway get their red carpet looks from from rachel zoe who believes as evidenced by her shoes and a life filled with glamour and high heels. >> everyone wants to be in like a seven inch platform. for comfort, for height, everything. let's just face it everyone looks that much better with seven more inches. >> rachel is wearing, what, six, seven inch heels? >> seven inch heels.

very high. but super comfortable. >> and super hot. >> thank you. >> very nice. so i know that you're all about dressing people for what you you call wow moments. a wow moment is not necessarily a red carpet moment, is it is this. >> no, a wow moment is a moment where it leaves you actually speechless. it's that where you gasp for air and that person just looks absolutely amazing in whatever it is that they're wearing. could be a gown, it could be jeans and a great jacket. it doesn't hear. >> and fashionistas will be happy it know that rachel has launched a blog in which you careful zoeisms. tell us about that. a website ws dictating the trends at all price points. so if it's very expensive, we have something called the parallel universe which is very affordable for everyone and just gives you you the trend and what to buy and how to wear it. >> so needed right now. >> so much fun to do. i love writing it. >> rachel will share some zoeisms with us, so let's get to

the first one. number one, thou shall be inspired by sequins. and clearly you were. >> i just think everyone needs a little bet of glitz and glamour in their life. and the idea of doing this clutch was that you can wear it during the day with a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. it's pretty oversized. you can fit a lot in it. and the idea is that it has a strap, so if you don't want to be, you know -- you can throw it over your shoulder. and it just adds a little bit of fwlam or to jeans and a t-shirt or a cocktail dress about. >> a way to make a statement. >> it is. i love sequins and it's all over the fall runways and it's always fun. >> number two, thou shall have luxury in your wardrobe. >> always. must have luxury. so this is a faux fur vest. and the idea is that everyone should be able to have luxury and that feeling of what they think only celebrities and vips can wear and afford, but really everybody can.

and this is a faux chinchilla fur and it's under $100, and you can wear it all year, t-shirt, jean, throw it other than a dress. >> what do you say to people who say i can't pull off that kind of thing. >> everyone can. it's all in your mind. it's what you think does not work on you you, try it. if it doesn't work and you know it doesn't work, then don't wear it. find the piece that does. don't follow trends, don't succumb to them, just get inspired by them and do what works for you about. >> let's go to the next. i guess this is every has to have a wow in their wardrobe. >> this is a wow. this is a wow. >> for me this is leg high. >> by the way, me, too. we're little. so these are by brian atwood. they may not work on everybody. it's a great alternative to the black opaque tights and leggings. throw them on with a big oversized sweater or mini dress. they're fantastic. if they don't work for you, then

do a mid calf boot. that's okay, too. it's the modified version. >> and finally we should have colors and shapes to bring drama. >> it's all about drama if fall, but drama mixed with function and comfort and warmth. so the idea is, again, here another faux vest and a big statement necklace. all about statement jewelry. just go for it. even just wear one piece, with you have a dramatic. this is a mark jacobs cape. great colors. neons and bold colors. the cape is kind of the new spin on a jacket. it's just so comfortable, so much fun. again, wear it with leggings, boots, love it. >> rachel, thanks so much. good to mee you. for more on rachel and her zoeisms, go to our website, earlyshow.cbsnews.com. harry, over to you. and if you thought that was impressive, this morning on our

this is really cool. it's a straight line laser tape measure. you don't need it, but if you're putting floors down, if you're putting paint down, it measures the volume, the area of a room. it doesn't get to the exact 16th of an inch, but the beauty of it, if you want to shoot it over at that wall, take your thumb off and now try it again. >> evening the beauty of it is it measures up it to 50 feet and so it's perfect. how anybody would get along without it if they put floors in, i don't know.it's perfect. how anybody would get along without it if they put floors in, i don't know. >> what's this is this. >>. >> this is the stud finder. the beauty of this, and we don't want to make any jokes on this, but the beauty -- >> i'm surprised by that. >> no, no, i'm stopping it now. so the beauty of the stud finder is it actually measures the would ends of the stud so you

can definitely find the center. >> that's good to know. all right. what's this? >> air grip laser level. this runs about $30. it's a little noisy, but what happens is you just stick it -- >> these are cool. these are seriously cool. >> this, and you can see on the hand right there, how it just checks the -- if you want to it put a shelf up, a pick up, this thing works like a gem. >> that's awesome. >> save as lot s a lot of time. so this is the multibit ratchet screwdriver. the rope i like this one so much is it actually has a lot of torque to it, but you get numerous bits. you get the slotted, the square tipped, and of course the phillips. as to that works really well. >> and if it has a lot of torque, then you can actually do something. >> and then you can actually do

something. the old crescent wrench. this is the rapid, it's a new -- why didn't somebody come up with this a long time ago. that's a great little tool. this can be any construction worker, any guy who is out there just mowing the lawn. the ryobi noise suppresser. and the cool thing about this is it sue reeses any harsh noises, but also amply guys anybody who is talking. >> what happens in my house, my wife wears those because i'm swearing when i'm fixing something so she doesn't have to listen to it. a last but not least some. >> this is the milwaukee 12 volt little light on the front and it's got the camera on the back, so if you actually -- just turn this around and you can let the camera see. >> oh, look at that. this is cool. because you can find just about anything, use it all the time, as well. >> a lot of doctors have very similar things.

and then there you go. >> any particular frame you recommend? >> i definitely like using a matte because i like playing with different characteristics of your portrait. for instance her hair is sticking out. just a little bit more modern play on this. >> this wasn't in the apartment, but a great way to spruce up an old file cabinet. >> i was inspired by a ride on the subway where the whole ride was shrink wrapped with logo and ads. so i did the same thing. if you look close, it's actually my initials, jl. and it comes actually as a big sticker pre-measured for each side of the cabinet. you you just have to make sure you get all the bubbles out and the real trick is if there's any curvature to your piece, blow dry it and the heat just molds it. >> i need a tool man for this. >> i have your stud finder. >> there you go. >> you mow what's interesting, there is a guy in france who has

a barn full of these sacks who can't believe he's getting $40 a piece. >> great wideas. for more, go to our website. have a great day, everybody. local news is next.
