"early" this saturday morning, october 15th, 2011. captioning funded by cbs welcome to "the early show" on this saturday and a cool fall-like morningship i'm jeff glor. >> i'm nancy cordes. russ mitchell and rebecca jarvis are off this morning so we are keeping their seats warm. >> we are, indeed, and dancing to "footloose" at least you were before the show. >> it's contagious. i'm getting you dancing, man. >> i'll do it. we begin with the protest movement. it's in every u.s. state and more than a hundred cities.
8:02 am
we begin our coverage with bigad shaban when the protests abgan in new york city. >> the temperatures in the 50s a chilly day. >> reporter: protesters decided to camp out here the 27th day in a row. the park owners are letting them stay for the moment after backing down their initial order to have everyone removed temporarily yesterday to clean the park. the movement is growing. >> occupy! >> reporter: in seattle, dozens of protesters took their chance downtown. >> if you choose to remain on the premises. >> reporter: in denver, across the state capital, those camped out at a park were ordered out by police armed with riot gear. at least 20 people were arrested. just outside los angeles, about 75 people marched to the home of a top bank executive in san marie know. >> they are trying to destroy the american dream while they live in big fancy homes and have
8:03 am
millions of dollars and income every year! >> wall street! >> reporter: in new york, where it all began, protesters clashed with police yesterday as officers, some brandishing batons, pushed into the crowd to clear the streets in lower manhattan. this man appeared to have his leg run over after ignoring police warnings to stay on the sidewalk. after he kicked over the officer's motorcycle, he was arrested. one of at least 14. >> back off! back off! >> he was taken into the police van very bloody. >> reporter: 23-year-old megan captured it all on her phone. last year, she earned a degree in economics but is still struggling to find a permanent job and she has camped out here nearly a month. >> i'm $50,000 in debt. i'm a college graduate. and, right now, i'm working as a child care worker because there just aren't any jobs in my field. >> reporter: and those protesting the lack of jobs and what they describe as corporate

greed aren't ready to give up their cause, or their spot. what do you think is going to happen when the police come back? >> we're not leaving until we get what we want. >> reporter: but it's what they want that is the question, jeff, with still no leader or long-term objectives emerging from the movement. >> bigad, thanks very much. for more on the protests and how they are spreading internationally, we begin our coverage was charlie d'agata who is at the london stock exchange. good morning to you. what is the situation there? right now a few demonstrators gathering in the financial district but the police outnumber the protesters by a large number. these things, as we have seen in the past, can turn ugly very fast. we haven't seen any riot police yet and they tend to be deployed after the trouble breaks out but you bet they are preparing somewhere. social network sites say if they
8:05 am
show up one of the largest gatherings in the global protests. >> london may be the biggest, but where else? >> reporter: we have seen demonstrations in new zealand. 2,000 people in sydney and melbourne, australia. philippin philippines, they are saying down with u.s. imperialism before turned back by police. hong kong, hundreds gathered in the financial district echoing the same sort of sentiment we have been hearing. the wall street protests blaming banks of the financial crisis. tokyo, hundreds of demonstrators gathered there and anti-capitalists and anti-nuclear demonstrators outside the fukushima power plant. >> charlie d'agata in london this morning, thanks. for more about the protests, we turn to jessie legreca, a leader in the occupy wall street movement here in new york.
8:06 am
must be good to see the protests spreading across the globe. >> to me, i think it speaks to the amount of resolve people have. we are seeing our future stolen away from us while the wealthiest 1% get richer and richer and i'm glad people are taking a role and participating in their democracy. >> have you been participating with the people around the world? >> there is communication between twitter and facebook and social media. the organic nature of this movement can't be denied. >> do you feel you won sort of a victory this week when the city essentially backed off of its plans to sort of move you out of there for a while, while they cleaned up the park? >> we have our own volunteer cleaning crew so we are doing the best we can to maintain the sanitation in the area. we feel it's great for the first amendment rights and to participate in our democracy.
8:07 am
>> what is the situation like with the police right now? we saw in bigad's police, there have been some clashes over the past couple of days. >> you know, actually, the relationship with them with the nypd has been tremed and they have been doing excellent job to protect us and we have been doing as much as we can to facilitate them protecting us. this is a public place where we are glad to have our voices heard and we encourage people to support the nypd because they are really here to help us. >> by now, you have heard the criticism that you don't have a purpose. we heard one man saying we are not going to leave until we get what we want. what do you want? >> well, i think it's pretty obvious. i mean, you see all of the over arching conversations that we are having right now but they all tie in together that corporate greed has trashed our economy and wealthiest 1% has put all of our lives at risk. it's not really the demands we should be discussing right now, it's the grievances. it's almost like giving a diagnosis to a patient when you
8:08 am
quite haven't figured out what he is sick of. we need to figure out what we are sick of first and then hear with the demands. >> you are getting donors from wealth unions. >> i'm not involved with the finance but i will say millions of people who are supportive of us and we do receive small donations and i think it's a very just cause so i don't see any difficulty accepting something like that. >> jesse on wall street, thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> thank you very much. one of the frustration being pr expressed by the protests is company greed. companies posting huge profits and many americans struggling to make end's meet. take a look at the numbers. you might see why. the median income in the u.s. dropped 7% from 2000 to 2011. the worst performance since 1967. a survey of economists by "wall street journal" says we won't
8:09 am
make up that lost ground until 2021. the average american family, another ten years until wages are back on track. with more on this now is jack otter, executive editor of cbs"moneywatch".com. >> good to be here. >> the ten-year forecast seems pretty stunning. how is that possible? >> it is stunning but it's been kind of a grim picture for a long time. it hasn't been negative but you go back to 1980 to 2000. productivity skyrocketed 70%. the average wage only went up 4.4%, over 20 years. this is actually a problem that has been developing for quite some time. >> this is not necessarily a jobless recovery we have heard about but a wage list recovery for people who have jobs. >> exactly. >> who is being hurt the most right now? >> well, the middle class is the one that is really being squeezed but there is an education gap here. so college students right now only face unemployment of about 4%. if you have just a high school
8:10 am
diploma you're in double digits. no high school diploma you're looking at 25% unemployment. the occupy wall street folks have been polled' you see a lot of student debt and you just heard that in the segment. these guys are frustrated and feel like the other part of the deal isn't being upheld. >> who is not feeling the effect of the flat wages other than the 1% but the middle class, some have jobs right now. >> they have jobs and, obviously, having a job is better than just having no job but they are seeing stagnant wages. it's the wealthy who have seen things going very well for them. buffett loves to trot out this statistic in 1992 they made 44 million and in 2008, 227 million was the average wage among the top 400. >> what does it take to bring the wages back up again? i know there is no magic bullet but when you look at ten years, that is depressing. is there anything that can be done? >> sure. not a whole lot. the problem is the recession we just went through was not a garden variety recession, it was a financial crisis.
8:11 am
you look back to history. finland and japan had similar episodes. so saying it takes a decade to get through not crazy. i'll say two things. one, these predictions are notorious unreliable. in bloomberg a survey in 2008 not a single strategist state the market might go down this year, of course, it was down 40%, so sparks can happen that surprise you. one great xamp is gm sells more cars in china than it sells in this country. people are starting to actually bring jobs back from china because wages are going up so fast there, now it's cost effective to bring them back. so something could come out of left field and we will get out of this faster than we think. >> we certainly hope so. jack otter, thank you so much. >> absolutely. i promised last week i would bring you good news. this week, that is my good news. >> i presht it. maybe super good news next week. >> i'm feeling better. to politics. texas governor rick perry is trying to revive his struggling campaign for the republican presidential nomination.
8:12 am
yesterday, he put out a new jobs plan. it calls for extensive new domestic oil and gas production and decreased regulation. the obama administration didn't waste any time slamming it calling it old-fashioned because it relies on drilling rather than clean energy. cbs news whit johnson is at the white house with more. >> reporter: with their sights set on the white house, the two republican front runners mitt romney and herman cain have been marching their plans all over the country and now governor rick perry's turn with his own jobs plan as he tries to reset his stumbling campaign. texas governor rick perry told a crowd of pittsburgh steel workers he knows how to create 1.2 million new jobs. >> we must get america working again. a big part of the solution is right under our feet and right off our coast. >> reporter: perry's much anticipated jobs plan calls for increased energy production on federal land. more offshore drilling in the gulf of mexico and review of the
8:13 am
epa's air quality regulations. >> america should not be -- and when i'm the president of the united states -- will not be held hostage by foreign oil and federal bureaucrats. >> reporter: perry is competing with tea party support with herman cain. >> can y'all see that big bull's-eye on my back. >> reporter: but mitt romney is solidifying himself as the front-runner and the best candidate best to take on president obama. a new poll shows obama a slight edge over romney if the election were held now. >> i'm a white sox guy. i can't wear that hat. >> reporter: friday, he was in michigan taking a swipe at critics. >> a lot of politicians said it wasn't worth the time and wasn't worth the money. in fact, some politicians who still say that. >> reporter: the general election is still more than a year away, but president obama and mitt romney are clearly sharpening their focus on each
8:14 am
other. >> whit johnson white house this morning, thanks. joining us is ed rollins, republican strategist and former campaign manager for michele bachmann and democratic strategist, robert zimmerman. good morning to you both. >> good morning. >> the poll that got everybody talking this week that showed herman cain, for the first time, leading the pack by 27% to romney's 23%. ed, i bet you did not see it coming. >> i did not although he has done an effective job in the debates and his 999 plan has captured the attention of people unless they start picking it off. he has left the tea party and bouncing back and forth to perry and bachmann and others. >> but you know, ed, it's an interesting part you bring up, because, ultimately, when you examine the herman cain search, it's a campaign running on political viagra.
8:15 am
by that i mean his rise to kill the metaphor is as artificial as the donald trump rise and michele bachmann rise and rick perry rise. >> how do you know some he is capturing people's attention and has very little money and managed to surge -- >> he will have money now. you have two campaigns, perry and romney, they are the ones with the potential to go the long way but that doesn't mean herman cain can't stay in the race and basically attract voters as you go down the road here. he is not going to win iowa and not win new hampshire or the early things but at the end of the day he will not win the nomination but he is creating some interest. >> rick perry, you mentioned him. this is supposed to be the week he reset his campaign, but the new rick perry in the debate looked like the old rick perry in the debate. people wonder if he wants it. >> you have to remember he was a cheerleader in college, not a debater. >> they asked him what his economic plan is and he won't tell you.
8:16 am
>> he is trying to tell it now. don't underestimate him. when he gets in the game in iowa and new hampshire and he'll be a strong candidate. >> it's important to remember he has raised $17 million but that follows a long line of great texas politicians like john connelly. and phil gramm. each got a delegate and a half between them. he is not a serious candidate. >> he is a serious candidate. it's my party. he is a conservative in this race and he will be a very serious candidate. he may not win it, but he certainly will be right there chasing romney all the way. >> it wasn't perry or cain that the white house was going after this week, it was romney. clearly they think he is the candidate to beat and david axelrod called him some names. why are they going after him so early? >> they see him as the front-runner and the most difficult potential adversary.
8:17 am
that is where i think the white house and messaging has to focus. >> what do you make of this whole thing about president obama calling himself the underdog? the -- >> the president of the united states have a billion dollars, he's the guy to beat. >> it's interesting. you have david axelrod saying a struggle and president says he is an underdog and vice president saying they could lose. the president is better off focusing on a leadership. >> that would be the movie of the week if he tried to do that. >> hard take call yourself the under dog when you have the bully pulpit. >> just need to act like a president. >> thank you both for coming in this morning. appreciate it. >> thank you. now for the rest of the morning's headlines, betty nguyen is at the news desk. >> good morning, nancy. a u.s. military base in eastern afghanistan was attacked this morning by afghan militants.
8:18 am
the suicide attack happened in an area that has not supported the taliban, but the taliban has claimed responsibility for that attack. militants used rocket propelled grenades and a vehicle packed with explosives. no americans were injured or killed. there has been a major casualty in president obama's signature health overhaul law and that is long-term care. the obama administration decided the program would not work. it said premiums would have been too expensive for most people. the change is the latest challenge for the health care plan which is under attack in courts, congress, and state legislators. a worldwide iphone frenzy is under way. apple's new iphone 4s went on sale yesterday and people lined up in cities across the country and around the world for that matter. demand is so great, apple shares jumped more than 3% and closed at a record high of $422 per share. customers who use at&t, tho he

picture of the last plane to leave the south pole station, she had no idea how anxious she would be for it or any planes to return. because late in august, she suffered a stroke and has been trying to get out of antarctica ever since. her lawyer sent a letter in early september telling the contractor her chances of full recovery are reduced or perhaps impossible if she not moved quickly. rayiton denied the request. these pictures were taken in december. summer in antarctica. but there was no daylight in the winter there. the place is similar to the case of dr. jerry nielson who 1999 developed breast cancer while at the south pole. she treated herself for months

8:48 am
>> i'm well. thank you very much. let me talk to rosemary for a second. this conversation with bullying conversation has been gone on more than a year now. why do you think it's important for preschool kids to know about it? >> it's important to start early. sesame street has always addressed issues in children's lives, education and health issues and societal issues. we want to prevent bullying from occurring by teaching premium pro social skills and how to develop healthy friendships. >> big bird, we saw what happened to you. how did that make you feel? >> it wasn't very nice. it made me feel pretty bad. i wanted to be a part of the big birds club and wanted them to like me but they were kind of mean to me. they made fun of my feet. they said they were too big. they said i was too tall. >> you feel pretty crummy when that happens.
8:49 am
>> oh, yeah. >> blue jay? >> yes, sir? >> we saw you there. you were ganging up on big bird. how come? >> i wasn't. the bully was saying, you got to behave like that. i said, okay, because i was scared if i said something, he would bully me. >> you just felt like the easiest thing was going along with it? >> yeah, because i didn't know what to do, jeff. but now, thanks to abby and elmo, i know what to do. >> these are young children. they don't know what to do. big bird wants to fit in and we want to empoe you're children they should be proud of who they are and when they are bullying we ask them to go to trusted adults because they need help with this. >> an important point. a lot of kids get made of for tattling and they don't want to be a tattler. >> i didn't want to be a tattler, jeff. >> they don't want that reputation. you say a difference between tattling and reporting something. >> absolutely. adults need to know what this difference is. reporting is when a child comes to an adult and tells you that
8:50 am
another child needs help, a child is in trouble. tattling is when a child goes to an adult to get someone in trouble. teachers and parents really need to know what this difference is and listen to their children. because it's hard for a child to go to an adult and say i'm being bullied. >> that's right. that is what happened with me. abby and elmo, they saw that i was in trouble and they went and they got an adult. >> blue jay, did you say sorry to big bird? >> oh, yeah. we are good friends. we started our own club. i quit the good birds club and we started our own club. >> maybe my son jack can join as well. >> you know what it's called? the happy to be me club. >> the happy to be me club! >> anybody can be in it. >> what a great club. >> would you love to be in it? >> i would love to. can i join? >> great! >> you're in the club. >> you just made my weekend! bills win tomorrow, it gets even better! i'm glad we could have a

9:08 am
but in court this week, a series of medical experts blamed dr. conrad murray for giving jackson what he wanted, the powerful anesthetic propofol to help him sleep. >> inconceivable. >> unacceptable. >> reporter: murray used drug outside of the hospital and not using proper dosing equipment and failing to keep records and leaving jackson unattended. >> when you monitor a patient you never leave their side. it's like leaving a baby that is sleeping on your kitchen countertop. >> i think it leaves the kind of impact that is so indelible in this case the defense will have an impossible time trying to overcome. >> reporter: the defense gets its opportunity next week. murray attorneys are expected to focus on the two minutes dr. murray says he left his famous client alone. >> the argument will be michael jackson woke up and desperate for sleep and gave himself an
9:09 am
additional dose of propossess follow and took eight tablets of lorazepam and he decide so quickly that he didn't have time to close his eyes. >> reporter: the defense hopes the jury will believe that jackson was responsible for his own death. ben tracy, cbs news, los angeles. joining us now is jean casarez, a correspondent for in session on trutv and been in the court every day of the jackson trial and is in our studios this morning. >> good morning. >> the prosecution has done a fantastic job of painting dr. murray as this very selfish incompetent person. but that is not the same as proving he is guilty of manslaughter, right? >> it's one of the elements. i mean, a gross deviation of care, everything that dr. conrad murray did do antididn't do, obviously, goes into it and i think, in a sense, the defense has to concede some of that but at the heart and soul of this case is who caused the death of michael jackson. the coroner's office didn't test the stomach contents of michael
9:10 am
jackson. they had all of the liquid but they didn't test it. the defense did and they did it just recently. what they found was lorazepam, which is a sedative and puts you to sleep and it was four times the concentration in the stomach as everywhere else in the body. so that is going to be a major point for the defense here. >> so then are you surprised that the defense hasn't done more to question michael jackson's character or is that coming? >> well, the judge has stopped a lot of that. they can't go into a lot about michael jackson's past. but the jury knows about all of the other doctors, they know about that he would go to a doctor to get demerol and he would be groggy and slurred speech so some that have is coming in, but the defense is going to have to go several ways on this. there was a swing on the nightstand and propofol bottle under the night stand and empty bottle of lorazepam. they have to go with that along with the science. >> early on, speculation that if the prosecution did a good job, that dr. conrad murray might
9:11 am
actually take the stand in his own defense. do you think that is going to happen? >> you know, i interviewed ed chernoff who is the lead attorney before the trial. i asked him was there ever a plea deal offered to? because why wouldn't you take something like that? he said plea deals are for guilty people and conrad murray is not guilty. if you take that theory right there, you can't say if he is an innocent man he is going to take the stand and talk, but a lot the defense doesn't want to come in. for instance, four times law enforcement tried to talk with him after he gave his statement to police and they got no answer. they wanted more information from conrad murray but he wasn't forthcoming. they don't want that to come out. also there was a bevy of women that took the stand, girlfriends, and he was married at the time and they don't want that to come in either. >> quickly, what is your impression of this jury? >> oh! they are so good! they take intensive notes. they are engaged. they are being fair to both sides. i see them intently listening and it gets sophisticated with

this medical testimony but it's the heart and soul of this case. it's critically important. >> jean casarez, thank you for joining us from los angeles. >> you're welcome. up next, nobody wants to pay full price, especially these days. so what is the best way to bargain, whether it's a car, furniture, a hotel room? we have inside information from the expert coming up next. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. we all want cleaner laundry. we all want fewer chemicals. all free clear oxi-active. a free clear detergent that's tough on stains and gentle on skin. try all free clear oxi-active.

9:17 am
saving yourself money. you're paying yourself if you do your homework. >> i think people think they have to be tough in negotiations, maybe almost mean. you think that's a bad idea? >> the idea is that you want this person to like you actually. they are going to give you a bargain. they are going to feel more likely to do you a favor to work with you if they like you. >> keep your cool? >> yeah, keep your cool. stay calm. the idea is that if you come armed with good information, you know what you're shooting for, and you stay calm in that negotiation, you're going to win you. >> we saw it in the movie clip, the technique at the car dealership. let's talk about that specifically. the guy gets up, says i need to talk to my manager. how do we handle it? >> the person is he talking to is a good chance isn't the manager at all. he is probably talking to one of his buddy is. don't buy into the drama. you know your price. stick with that and talk about price one thing. don't let them change the
9:18 am
features, try and sell you on additional things. one item, one price, stick to that. >> i've always heard you really should be prepared to walk away because if you know you need this, you're going to give in. >> absolutely. the thing is that particularly in buying a car or a big picket item, walk away. you may have invested an hour but if you're looking to save several thousand dollars it's worth coming back the next day. if you walk away that tells them they need their money maybe more the you need that product. >> you have somebody with you, a wife, friend, somebody else. good cop, bad cop, does that work? >> no, they have seen it it before. unless you're an academy award winning actor you're not going to pull it off. >> my wife is pretty good, i have to say. >> the one movie thing i'd say is be a little bit jack. remember jack nicholson in "the shining" talk quietly and directly and let them know you mean business. >> are men and women better at negotiating, by the way? >> it's a mixed bag. sometimes women have their wild
9:19 am
and sometimes men can play the buddy thing but no advantage to either. >> if you go into a big box store and you're looking for a refrigerator, for example, and, you know, the door has been open and closed a few times. it may have a scratch on it. you can save significantly because it's not new and it might not matter to you. >> you point out to them this is not in perfect shape. >> oh, absolutely. you can get $50, a hundred dollars off because they are not able to move that item to somebody who wants the perfect thing. >> ron buehrle, good information. >> my pleasure. up next, her viral video leads to a dream come true for this little girl. we will all of this week's hottest trends in social media coming up. ♪

herbs, these other type of herbs get weaker. >> you can do it but it will taste not as good. >> flavorless. >> you think labeling is a huge part of this? >> absolutely. you don't want to freeze things forever. things will last forever in the freezer and never go bad as long as you keep your freezer ze degrees or lower but won't taste good forever. you want to label everything with special freezer labels so they don't fall off. >> easy to get these? >> yes. and permanent markers. keep in mind the frozen meats, chicken can last up to a year but once you cook meats and cook the water out of it they will only last three or four months. cooked foods only three or four months and raw meats like chicken and roasts, about a year. >> you mentioned meats. we want to talk about wrapping the mathematical and the best way to put it in the freezer. double wrapping? >> get out as much air as possible. air causes the freezer burn which tastes horrible.

9:37 am
efficient way to freeze foods. but, yeah, you can stack them on top. the trick here is don't get big containers. you want smaller containers because you want foods to freeze quickly. if they are in big containers and you put hot things in the freezer the ice crystals will be big and cause the watery, mushy flavor. >> thanks very much for the cookies. up next, "footloose" 27 years later and see fountain remake can dance itself around the original that starred kevin bacon. this is "the early show" on cbs. stick around. oh, hi. which cash back booth looks better to you, chase freedom or the largest cashback card? oh, i'll try the largest. oh, that is too bad. apparently you don't know chase freedom guarantees you 1% cash back. 4 times more than the largest cash back card, which only gives you a quarter percent until you spend $3,000 every year. but have fun.

original. john lithgow, how he avoided that fire and brim stone preacher thing. >> so did dennis quaid. i thought some of the supporting performances in this one were its strength. i thought dennis quaid as the preacher who leads the crusade to ban dancing from this town, i thought he did a good job and didn't go the kind of obvious caricature thundering from the pulpit route. i also think for me the guy who stole the movie was the friend chris penn, the goofy sidekick. >> who learns to you to dance. >> that is the best number in the original where kevin bacon teaches christopher penn how to dance. the old film even though it's not a full on singing and dance musical, it put the dance front and center. i think there is a lot less. i got to see it again and count the number of actual minutes you're talking. less dancing in this film. >> the big flaw of this one,
9:44 am
less dancing and less well done. i don't think the director is really interested in putting dance on screen in an interesting way so the fight scenes and the action scenes and this school bus game of chicken that replaces a tractor game of chicken are much more exciting than the dance numbers. i think that at a time when, you know, america is dance crazy, we have dancing with the stars and "glee" and the step up movies that you and i both adore. >> much to our discredit. >> they have to bring it to a higher level and as a movie about dancing. this dance movie, i don't think, works. >> the music was, obviously, one of the big stars of the movie back in the '80s. quickly, any songs that really stand out in this movie? >> they have recast a lot of the songs in a kind of a country and a little bit of hip-hop vein. you're always kind of being told to think back on the original and how much you really enjoy that. i don't know if it's a classic, the original, but something really irresistible and appeal
