>> well, good morning, alina. well, certainly i'm not surprised. it's one of those things that where the culture is set up where silence is golden, it's a difficult environment to sort of sift through to get the information you need to understand exactly the extent of the issue. >> let's talk a little more about that. you say in this article for time.com, where you are at the highest level, you also endure the highest level of scrutiny, invasion of privacy and accountability, and you seek refuge by creating an environment which contains people with a common understanding. meaning the locker room. so what is it about locker room culture that makes it so sacred? >> well, a lot to do with this sort of band of brothers in this particular case. you have an environment where often if you're a celebrity, a penn state-type of environment, you don't have a lot of places for that privacy. so as a feel player, you go home to this locker room, and the in the situation newer able to work for a common goal, common cause as you're trying to beat your opponent. so certainly it's something that's important to players to be able to step back and to have your space to sort of connect, but at the same time, can you see how that can blur the lines and create silence where it's not appropriate. >> right. and you say it's the -- appears to be the ultimate in intimacy. really what it is is close proximity. having said that, you say your teammates become brother, coaches become father figures. you know, in families, often when one family member is doing something wrong there's an intervention, and, you know, i have to say, i've had to play devil's advocate for just a second. you know, don't you think that at some point someone could have, should have said something when they saw something? >> well, absolutely. i mean, there's no excuse for the extent of what ended up being the disturbing course of events. there's absolutely no excuse for that, however, if you're shedding light into the culture, when you have this silence and players don't necessarily create the silence out of a malicious intent. sometimes it's the environment that is such you don't know who's around you. yes, it's perceived that, oh, you're playing with these guys, you know everybody well, but you have 57 teammates and different players in and out. a lot of these players don't actually know, have that true intimacy with these sort of co-workers in effect. so there's an aspect of it that gets lost, but certainly there should be red flags and some way to a fail-safe system that players and people can actually communicate these type of horrible situations. >> i think what you're getting at, too, is that there's intense pressure to keep quiet. having said that, penn state football, as we've been reporting, is a massive business. brings in $72 million to the university just last year. ranks second only to the university of texas in terms of profits. how much pressure do you think that the players feel? are they aware of that? and do you think they feel pressure as a result of that? >> there's no question there's a ton of frustration on these players and coaches and that creates conflicts of interest in certain respects if you're not understanding that there are certain things that are higher priorities to address. certainly ethical obligations in this particular case. so when you create this environment and certainly it snowballs. this has not just been penn state. this is sort of a college enenvironment or on a professional level, that silence becomes deadly and a lot of that is steeped in the fact you're not exactly in tune or truly intimate with people around you. yes, you're close on the field, but on a co-worker level, but once you break camp and all of a sudden are out in the institution, joining the work force, you find yourself disconnected from the same group you were close to all those years. >> if you're a football coach right now on the college level, what are you telling your play jers what kind of advice are you giving them? >> well, the advice is, you have to recognize the red flags. you're around each other. you're looking out for each other and ask those tough questions and, yes, these are young men, 19, 20 years old, but the danger is, these 19 and 20-year-olds become coaches down the road. if you're taking this culture and adding to it, developing it, not really questioning it and developing it, you're going to breathe the same example 10, 20 years late whir you're coaching. look at the coaches in the cross hairs, jerry san duckdusky alle central to all this, he played for penn state, so he was in that environment in the '60s. you have to figure out how to change direction and recognize the red flag, where silence is not a healthy thing but something you have to come forth with. >> good advice. doug glanville, espn analyst author of the book "the game from where i stand "and a former major league baseball player. thank you so much for your thoughts. >> great calculation. you are going to love this. well, okay. no arms, no legs, but no excuses. that's the part you're going to love. quadruple amputee, preparing to climb africa's highest mountain with no one or any technology. dr. sanjay gupta with today's "human factor." >> reporter: hal is climbing to the top of georgia stone mountain. bear crawl, almost 1,000 feet. maynard is a con gentle kwaus droopal amputee born without arms or legs. his parents knew the world wasn't set up for him but weren't going to let his disability set him apart. >> they reezed me with the attitude they weren't going to treat me any different. >> reporter: maynard played sports joining the football team. >> i loved it. get to hit somebody in every play. >> reporter: he became wrestling when football was too intense and stayed with it even after losing his first 35 matches. he became an accomplished martial arts fighter and wrote a book "no excuses." this left him feeling xaufrted and low. >> i got to a point where i was ready to quit speaking. >> reporter: then a chance encounter with two disabled veterans wounded in iraq changed his mind. >> we made a suicide pact with one another that said when they -- the day they did that, they happened to see my story on hbo and that's what got them to stop. >> reporter: he regrets never getting their names but says those veterans re-energized him. so instead of quitting he continued. crisscrossing the country sharing his story again and again. >> i know the going to be tough. >> reporter: and inspired him to try for nor milestone scaling africa's mount kilimanjaro. >> why kilimanjaro?

executives at two bailed out government backed mortgage firms getting millions in bonuses as homeowners suffer. getting ready for the top ten rick perry excuses. >> listen, you try concentrating with mitt romney smiling at you. that is one handsome dude. and the nation gets rip rolled. governor rick perry trying to fix what's left of his campaign by taking shots at himself on this "american morning." -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com good friday morning. it is 11 lsh 11/11. veterans' day. christine's off today. i'm ali velshi along with alina cho. it's "american morning." >> ali, good morning, good morning, everybody, and we start first with the growing penn state sex abuse scandal. new developments. cnn affiliate ksat is reports that police are investigating claims that former nittany lions coach jerry sandusky raped a boy in san antonio during the alamo bowl back in 1999. he was one of the eight alleged victims in the original indictment, and now san antonio police are getting involved. right now in state college p.a., they are bracing for game day, the last home game of the year. the first one in more than a half century without legendary coach joe paterno there's in some capacity. the small college town swells to the third largest city on game day and given what we saw on campus two nights ago, police there are under intense pressure to maintain control. our jason carroll is live in state college this morning. jason, what are you learning about this new report? >> reporter: well, according to the grand jury report, that victim that you're referring to is referred to as victim number four, and according to the report, back in 1999, jerry san duckie took this young boy to the alamo bowl in texas. also according to the grand jury report, sandusky showered this young boy with gifts such as clothes, nike shoes, a snowboard as well. and at one point in a hotel room, again, according to the report, sandusky tried to sexually assault the young boy. the boy telling grand jurors he eventually distanced himself from sandusky. also i have to tell you, alina, this falls in line with what the attorney general said actually on monday. she said based on their research, that sandusky had access to young boys for such a long period of time, she said it would not be unlikely that more victims might emerge, and a source close to the investigation told me earlier this week that a police tip line had received more than a dozen calls from people saying that they, too, were victimized by san duk sandusky, but that source saying those allegations have to be vetted a full investigation la to take place before these people eventually become part, even if they do become part of a particular case. we may be hearing more stories, more allegations coming up in the next few days or even weeks. >> i can only imaginetalk about tomorrow's game. a lot of speculation about assistant coach mike mcqueary who of course allegedly saw jerry sandusky involved in a sexual act way 10-year-old doi some years back. he will not be on the sidelines tomorrow. right? because he's been threatened? is that correct? >> reporter: right. that allegation really is key, because that comes from 2002. and apparently once again, according to the grand jury report, mccreary saw sandusky sexually assaulting a 10-year-old boy in the shower. mccreary told his father and then on the following day, told coach paterno. coach paterno then told his superior here at the university and as you know, and as many people know by now, paterno no longer here at the university. a lot of anger here. people saying, kel, if paterno had to go, why not mccreary? as a result of that, mccreary has now received several death threats and in terms of security, university officials thought it best that he not be at this weekend's game. and that just gives you a sense of the high emotion that's running here at the university. on one side anger. on the flip side we should point out there are a number of students, faculty, people in the community who say it's time to focus more on the victims and not so much on football. that's why tonight there's going to be a candlelight vigil taking place at 9:30 in honor of the victims. alina? >> jason carroll live for us in state college, pennsylvania. jason, as always, thank you. last night on "ac 360" state representative kevin boyle says the law may have failed the victims, watch. >> we need to toughen this up, the legislation -- the current legislation on the books, because the current law allows for conspiracies. it allows for cover-ups, and i feel as though if we had stronger legislation on the books, paterno, who i'm sure was lawyered up from the get-go, would have reported this to the police and hopefully there wouldn't have been as many as a dozen victims in the last decade. >> all right. the stunning fall from grace continues for joe paterno. pennsylvania's two senators, u.s. senators, are pulling support for a presidential medal of freedom for paterno. democrat bob casey and republican pat toomey had sent a letter to president obama back in september. they were backing paterno for the nation's highest civilian honor for his dedication to his players and for his famous grades-first philosophy. following the story at penn state, findings are two distinction story lines. the sex say bus scandal and how that is being dealt with and then the issue of this famed football team. this lucrative football program. and that's -- those are the two things we're having trouble reconciling here because the students are getting very frustrated about both of those things. bring in a couple people close to the situation. dan is a senior at penn state university. he's also the president of the intrafraternally council and david also a senior at penn state, founder and general manager of onward state, which is a blog. gentlemen, thank you for being with us. what a tough time for students at penn state, because you've got two very distinct issues to deal with as i've just said. one is the reputation of penn state because of this sex abuse scandal and the second one is this famed football program that is so central to being a student at penn state, whether or not you play football. and central to this is these outbursts we saw on campus two nights ago. many students want people to know that they're very upset by what happened. i want to quote something from the "daily collegian" the newspaper there. editorial that said, we are appalled. this is not the way the most legendary coach in college sports was supposed to go. wednesday night was an embarrassment for penn state, referring to the turning over of a tv truck. your thoughts on that, dan? >> i think any acts of vile ps or rioting are extremely deplorable and shouldn't be indicative of how the students react to things like this, but emotions are running high. >> let me ask you, it must be tough for people who are just students, live in a bit of a bubble as often college students do to wonder a is my reaction supposed to be? mad at the board of trustees? mad at paterno and the coaching staff? what am i mad about? what are you mad about? >> yeah, well, i mean, absolutely. it's been very difficult for many penn state students to comprehend the horrible allegations that have come out against the university over the past week, and it's been very traumatic to come to terms with them, face them head-on. i agree with dan, that the actions on tuesday night were deplorable, but i think that the board of trustees did what it had to do to confront this event and face it. >> but the board of trustees is going to meet again this morning. the governor is expected to make an appearance there. do you have any idea, either of you, what is likely to happen next? two major, major things have happened already. the firing of the president and of joe paterno. what else has to happen other than in the legal system to get penn state and its students feeling like things are back on track? >> well, as the anchor mentioned earlier, mike mccreary angle to the story is really beginning to heat up. the athletic department announced yesterday that he wouldn't be attending this weekend's football game, but there hasn't been yet any announcement as to what his employment condition with the university is or what its future will be. and i know a lot of students are very upset about that. >> dan, let me ask you about this. boston globe columnist dan schauensee wrote the board of trustees should consider one thing this morning. consider cancelling it's season. he wrote cancelling football would be the best way for the board of trustees to demonstrate it understands the seriousness of the conspiracy of silence that cloaked paterno's program the last at least nine years. no senior day. those players will recover, wish we could say the same for jerry sandusky's victims. dan, for those of us outside of penn state, seems like something big being done like that might fit what has gone on, but this is very different for people in penn state. how do you they would go over? cancelling the rest of the football season? >> i think that would be a horrible idea, because i think it makes more victims and more people punished for the acts of a few bad men. the seniors that worked hard for the past four years and i think it would be very unfair to them to cancel the season because it's about them. >> do you think the -- >> sorry. go ahead. >> i think that the challenge is, when we come together this weekend, to harness the singular amount of energy and angst and all types of emotions the penn state community has and channel them into some kind of possible direction. i know that a number of student groups and student leaders are reaching out to charities that support victims of sexual abuse and child abuse, and there will be plans announced prior to the game about that. >> guys, thoughtful commentary. thank you very much. in stark contrast to what we saw the other night but i understand that those things we saw in the street were not representative of everybody at penn state. so i appreciate the comments from you. dan, president of the intrafraternity council and david, senior manager of the blog onward state. >> thank you, thank you. the u.s. defense secretary speaking out on the air force mortuary scandal. secondly-on-panetta promising to get to the bottom of an apparent mismanagement of the dover mortuary. "washington post" blew the lid off the scandal this week reporting that bodies from iraq and afghanistan are being grossly mishandled. remains dumped in a virginia landfill. panetta is calling for an independent investigation. >> none of us will be satisfied until we have proven to the families of our fallen heroes that we have taken every step possible to protect the honor and dignity that their loved ones richly deserve. >> panetta is also asking the air force secretary to enshire that appropriate disciplinary action is taken. italian prime minister silvio berlusconi may soon be out of office. a crucial debate is happening now in the italian senate. live pictures over the debt reduction that country needs to undertake to pull itself our near bankruptcy. berlusconi pledged to step down once economic reforms are passed to clear the way for a new technocrat government, meaning one not mired in politics but set there to do something highly specific. it is likely going to be led by former eu commissioner mario monte. >> center the end of an era. >> unbelievable. >> extraordinary. big changes for greece as well. a new prime minister will be sworn in later this morning. in just under two hours harvard economics professor and former banker lucas papademos will lead them and inherit debt troubles. he's promising to implement harsh austerity measures necessary for the country to receive a second bailout from the european union. former prime minister george papandreou stepped down earlier this week? can't beat them, join them. rick perry poked fun at himself after he couldn't name the third government agency he would ax at the gop debate. the top ten reasons for the rick perry gaffe last night. >> chiactually there was three reasons i messed up last night. one was the nerves. two was the headache and three was -- um -- um -- hey, listen, you try concentrating with mitt romney smiling at you. that is one handsome dude. yeah. i had a five-hour energy drink six hours before the debate. i wanted to help take the heat off my buddy herman cain. >> okay. let's put this stuff in the caboose. the number one rick perry excuse -- >> i just learned justin bieber is my father. >> oh, my gosh. >> personal favorite. that's good. >> i like that. like i say, there are all sorts of bad ways people can handle thing. i don't know whether this is good advice or his idea, but it was funny. >> very funny. still to come on "american morning," the housing market and economy are down, but big bonuses are up. federal government dishing out millions for fannie mae and freddie mac executives. that report next. and richard nixon in his own words. recordings and grand jury testimony released toed public after decade under wraps including nixon's explanation for that 18 1/2 minute gap on the white house audiotapes. welcome back to "american morning." 18 minutes after the hour. the economy is struggling. the housing market is down. >> but it's bonus time for executives of fannie mae and freddie mac. despite failing to clean's the housing crisis the federal government is still rewarding them with millions of dollars. a report this morning from cnn's brian todd. >> reporter: you may not know michael williams but you probably want to be paid like him. same for ed haldeman. the respective ceo's of freddie mac and fannie mae. the government sponsored firms which back at least half the mortgages in america. williams and haldeman each made about $900,000 in salary last year, and each is getting paid about $2 million in bonuses. earlier this year the federal government approved nearly $13 million in bonuses for williams, haldeman and eight other execs from the two firms. despite the fact millions of americans are still struggling to make it through the housing crisis and the fannie and freddie have been hemorrhaging cash this year. they lost $10 billion in the last quarter and just asked congress for more money. >> this is completely excessive and uncalled for. >> reporter: republican senator john thune is spearheading an effort by 60 democratic and republican sflarts to cancel the bonuses. they've sent a letter to the government body that oversees fannie and freddie. the federal housing finance agency, asking it to revise the compensation policy for those execs. the fhfa approved those bonuses. >> why reward this behavior or performance at least in a time when we've got all of these national economic issues and people across the country are very frustrated? >> reporter: contacted by cnn officials wouldn't comment on the bonuses. they're overseeing, the fhfa says its wree deuced pay in recent years and they have to use that money to attract the people needed to run the company. the reason they got the bonuses was because they did the right things to turn things around ar the meltdown. how big was the bailout of fannie and freddie compared to the auto bailout and some of the others? >> about $170 billion so far for both entities. both fannie and freddie and i think the estimated tally from what i understand from the congressional budget office somewhere in the neighborhood of $250 billion. from that standpoint, it's large relative to these other bailouts. >> reporter: analysts cliff rossy who once worked at bone fannie and freddie says the terms were put in place to clean up the mess from before. they started to do that but haven't done enough to modify homeowners bad mortgages. he's on the fence whether they deserve their bonuses. brian todd, cnn, washington. one guy that deserves a big bonus. reynolds wolf standing by in atlanta. getting trouble from the bosses on that, let me know. i'll put the word in for you. >> i like the way you're thinking today. really do. love this guy. unfortunately you won't like the forecast in parts of the northeast especially trying to get from one side of the kint to the other. delays on bone sides. new york and philadelphia, gusty winds, delays up to one hour. boston, not as bad. gusty winds, delays. and out on the west coast, storms that could be delayed 15 minutes perhaps longer. what's happening since the last we talked. meanwhile, pacific northwest, rain in the valleys. highest elevations snowfall. chance of scattered snow showers in places of upstate new york and perhaps into the berkshires. towards the gulf coast, not much. high pressure dominating features. beautiful, new orleans high of 60. 65 in memphis. 50 in chicago. wrapping it up in new york with 59. 70 in los angeles. back to you, ali. my new agent. >> there you go. >> that's right. >> take good care of you, reynolds. >> you bet. take care. still to come, all hands on deck in san diego. two of the nation's top college basketball teams get ready to do battle on the deck of a u.s. navy aircraft carrier with the president courtside. >> everything about that is cool. we'll be right back. but nothing helped me beat my back pain. then i tried salonpas. it's powerful relief that works at the site of pain and lasts up to 12 hours. salonpas. this is not how witness protection works! when we set you up with that little hardware store we didn't intend for your face to be everywhere. but fedex office makes it so easy. not only do they ship stuff, they print flyers, brochures -- everything i need to get my name out there. that's the problem. now we need to give you a third identity. you're paul matheson. and you're gonna run your business into the ground. erik gustafson would never do that! there is no erik gustafson. hey that's erik gustafson!!! there is no erik gustafson!!!!!

just people sense. at aviva, we wonder why other life insurance companies treat you like a policy, not a person. instead of getting to know you they simply assign you a number. aviva is here to change all that. we're bringing humanity back to insurance and putting people before policies. aviva life insurance and annuities. we are building insurance around you. were back to "american morning." it's friday, november 11th, veterans' day. you're looking live at the tomb of the unknowns where the president will lay a wreath later this morning. it's all hands on deck literally when top ranked north carolina tangling with michigan state in tonight's carrier classic as it's being called. the game played before 7,000 fans including president obama on the deck of the navy aircraft carrier "carl vinson." isn't that incredible? rain is in the forecast. they're deciding not to move the court below deck. senator john mccain, his wife cindy and son are on a mission to make veterans' day cool. while they're at it, they wouldn't mind eliminating the stigma to thousands of war veterans challenged by mental health conditions. here to talk about their campaign is cindy mccain, wife of senator john mccain who joins us live from phoenix, arizona and here in new york, their son jim mccain, marine veteran and co-founder of honor vet.org. thanks to both of you for joining us. jim, nice to see you. you are a marine. you did a tour of duty in iraq. what was it about your experience that inspired you to start honor vet? >> when we came home, me and my best friend who served with me in iraq, we saw what was lapping to a lot of veterans in america and our friends and everything and we decided, why wait? we should take this upon ourselves and really worked and that was the initial drive for our -- >> your friend was suffering from ptst? >> yes, ma'am. >> talk about what honor vet does, then, to help veterans? >> we're an online base community for veterans and their family. most importantly, it's not always just a veteran, and we try and provide services, mental health and employment. most importantly. to veterans online. and they can get it all there instead of spread out. >> there's been a lot of talk about ptsd and yet there's still a stigma attached to it? >> yes, ma'am. >> i imagine you're ftrying to prim a little more awareness? >> yes. because they came home, there you residual things. >> i'd like to talk to you, you are a wife and mom of veterans. talk about the stress of having family members serve abroad. when jim was serving in iraq your husband was running for president. how much more stressful did that make it for you? >> oh, my. i don't even know how to explain it. it was a time that i look back upon. i can't tell you how proud of jimmy i was at the time, and have always been proud of, but it was a time that i really like to forget, because it was so incredibly stressful and i'd like to also say how proud of all of the families, not just my own, but all of the families that are serving right now and have served. it's stressful for everybody, and honor vet and what they do is remarkable, because these two young men saw not only a need that was not being met by our own veterans community and veterans services that are out there, but they saw a niche that they not only knew needed to be filled that was not being filled. there are 18 suicides a day in our veterans community right now. that's not only unacceptable it's something we have to address and address quickly. honor vet not only is addressing that need right now, but addresses it in a fashion that our veterans understand. it's online. it's quick. it's a way that these guys can get to it and get help. and it addresses it in a fashion that these guys understand and frankly my generation doesn't get to it that way. >> i'm sure, jim, that still as a veteran, as a marine, you know, probably there are a lot of people out there who are a little reluctant to reach out for help. right? >> yes, ma'am. yes, ma'am. and, you know, the reluctancy is something that i think a lot of veterans, they know, they maybe don't know they need help. sometimes they don't really see it, and that's the thing we try and do. we're not going to ever force anyone to try to better themselves, but a lot of young men and women know they can come to it. >> let's talk about the concert tonight. >> yes, ma'am. >> tell me about it. >> in westbury new york. bret michaels and billy gibbons coming. it's going to be a lot of fun. we wanted to bring a lot of people today. new york, being the ten-year anniversary, wanted to bring people together and support our veterans. >> tickets still available? >> unity.vets is our website and also just show up. >> a good idea, too. how much money have you raced so far? any idea? >> no. we do have a text to donate campaign. text honor. i forget. it's online. >> go to the website? >> yes, ma'am. that's our big thing right now. >> wonderful. cindy, before we go, i have to ask you one question about the political season. you know, when we're looking at the republican field we've got that oops moment by rick perry. we've got herman cain who has had his share of problems and mitt romney who some say can't energize the republican base. are you at all concerned about this and how much do you watch it? >> i do watch it. obviously, it's part of our life. you know something? anything and everything can happen in a political race. i don't count anybody out, having been there ourselves. don't count anybody out until the race is over. i look forward to seeing more debates and i think it's -- we've got a great field of candidates. so stay tuned. >> willing to tell us who you're supporting right now? >> no. >> will to ask. all right. cindy mccain, thank you for joining us, and jim mccain, congratulations on all of your efforts. it's a pleasure to meet you. >> happy veterans' day and happy birthday to the marine corps yesterday, 236 years. >> wow. amazing. that's great. >> yes, ma'am. >> good luck at concert. home the weather holds up. to learn more about honor vet, go to honorvet.org. the morning headlines are next. it's 46

a burden no other agency or company bears. a 2006 law that drains 5 billion a year from post-office revenue while the postal service is forced to overpay billions more into federal accounts. congress created this problem, and congress can fix it. this iwith icloud. 4s.. now..when you download a song on the go, it's there when you get home. make a change on the way to work, and it's waiting when you get there. bookmark a page on this, and it's ready on that. now the things you do on your phone, are everywhere you want them. automatically. icloud. on the most amazing iphone yet. death threats on game day. good morning, everybody. i'm alina cho. penn state assistant coach sitting out of the home finale. i'm ali velshi. america honoring its veterans as they say yes to a bill that could put hundreds of jobless war heroes back to work on this "american morning." good morning, everybody. it's friday. november 11th. also known as 11-11-11. >> you're honoring that day by wearing pants. you never wear pants. >> i rarely wear pants but i decided it was very vertical. >> big day for corduroy wearers, too. christine and carol are both off today. up first, the newest developments in the growing penn state sex abuse scandal. cnn affiliate ksat is now reporting that police in san antonio are involved in the investigation. they're looking into claims in the indictment that jerry sandusky sexually assaulted a boy in san antonio during the alamo bowl during 1999. >> the university is announcing that mike mcqueary will not be on the sidelines either because of multiple death threats against him. our jason carroll is live for us in state college this morning following all of the developments. jason, first off, what are your sources telling you this morning about the penn state investigation spreading to texas? >> he's identified as victim number four. 12-year-old boy in the grand jury report. basically what is being alleged is that sandusky groomed this boy. that's a term that is used by the attorney general. showering this boy with gifts and giving him clothes, a snowboard, nike shoes. once he was able to earn his trust, he started taking him on trips and inviting him to sandusky's home on several occasions, as well. it was on one trip in 1999, allegedly, sandusky sexually assaulted this boy. and i should point out, alina, according to prosecutors they say it is most likely that there might be more victims out there, other than the ones, the eight that are identified in the grand jury report simply because sandusky, they say, had access to young boys for such an extended period of time. so, we might be hearing about more victims coming forward in the coming days or even weeks. alina? >> many people are fearful that this may be just the beginning. >> speaking of fearful, jason. penn state is bracing for a big game day tomorrow. the first game since the details of this sex abuse scandal came out. the first one in more than half a century that joe paterno is not going to be in charge of in some capacity. what are we expecting at that game? >> true. joe paterno, as you know, is out. mike mcqueary is out, as well. just to give a little background in terms of why that happened. he has been receiving death threats because of his role in all of this. back in 2002, a different situation with a victim identified in the report as victim number two. apparently, mcqueary witnessed sandusky sexually assaulting that boy in a shower here at penn state. mcqueary told his father and then came back and told coach paterno who then in turn told his superior. the issue is none of the officials here at the school went to police. so, i think there are a lot of anger here in part at the university. you told paterno he had to go, why shouldn't mcqueary go, as well? that's why you have anger directed towards mcqueary. a lot of people here on the campus saying instead of directing energy towards football and who's staying and who's going, the focus should be on the victims and that's why tonight at 9:30, there's going to be a candlelight vigil held here on the campus by the students to pay tribute to the victims in all of this. ali, alina. >> jason carroll, thank you. he mentioned the assistant coach and you talk to students who mention that specifically, there is a anger about that. >> still some confusion on how people are supposed to feel. they are angry about two separate things going on right now. we spoke to doug glanville. he wrote an article for "time" magazine's website about the code of silence in the locker room and the role it may have played in this scandal. >> if you're a football coach right now on the college level, what are you daying your players? what kind of advice are you giving them? >> well, the advice is you have to recognize the red flags. you're around each other, you're looking out for each other and ask those tough questions. these are young men, 19, 20 years old. but the danger is these 19 and 20 year olds become coaches down the road. so, if you're sort of taking this culture and adding to it and developing it and not really questioning it and challenging it, then you'll breathe the same example 10, 20 years later when you're coaching. if you look at some of the players in the cross hair jerry sandusky played for penn state, he was in that environment in the '60s. so, you have to figure out how to change direction. >> all right, so, how do you prepare for a football game after one of the most disturbing scandals in sports history? given what we saw on campus two nights ago, police are under state pressure to maintain control. nebraska's athletic director has raised his own concerns about the safety of his players. state police there will be a bulk up force in and around the stadium. >> beaver stadium is one of the largest sports venues in the country. it can hold 106,572 people and that is officially. it was designed to be one of the loudest stadiums in the country. as you can imagine, it gets rowdy in a hurry. the small college town swells to the third largest city in pennsylvania on game day. >> only trailing philadelphia and pittsburgh. pittsburgh has more than 300,000 people, so, you can imagine how many people end up in state college. >> now, how do you have more than 8 million twitter followers and not know the biggest news story in the country. ask ashton kutcher. he feels awful and is going to take a break from twitter after he tweeted about joe paterno without knowing the full story. here's what he tweeted. how do you fire joe pa? insult. no class. as a hawkeye fan i find it in poor taste. kutcher assumed he wads fired because of his coaching performance and only found out later it was because of the child sex abuse scandal. he deleted the tweet and announced he would stop tweeting until he is able to manage. >> too mudanger of getting too f your news through social media. if you follow enough people, you'll figure it out. >> i've been guilty, you see something and it's enticing and you want to tweet it to your followers, but -- >> but not necessarily sure what the context is. >> you do have to pause for a second and just take a second before you do that stuff. another story we're following this morning, passengers on a plane headed from atlanta to charlotte,n norh caroli carolina, got when they got a real scare. a number of passengers say they saw smoke and sparks. now, the incident happened just minutes after takeoff from atlanta. the pilot flew back to atlanta and got all the passengers safely off the plane. >> when we heard it, started shaking first and then all of a sudden we saw sparks and great big boom, lots and lots of fire and then shortly after that smoke started coming out of the air vents. >> the engine problem is under investigation. well, it's shaping up to be a very busy veterans day for president obama. you're about to look live there at the picture of the white house. just a gorgeous day in washington. the president and the first lady will host a breakfast for a group of war heroes. and a live look now at arlington national cemetery, the next stop for the president. lay a wreath at the tomb of the unknowns before speaking at a veterans day ceremony. the president and first lady will then jet off to san diego where it is all hands on deck. look at this time lapse there. the obamas will be courtside on the deck of the "uss carl vinson" tonight to watch the first carrier classic, as it's called. north carolina and michigan state set to do battle on the navy aircraft carrier at 7:00 p.m. eastern time. >> that's going to be great. >> yeah, hope the weather holds up. all this coming one day after the senate agrees on a health plan. gives tax credit up to $9,600 for hiring disabled war heroes. later in the show, cuba gooding, jr., will join us. he's starring in a new film about a special team of pilots who served in world war ii and honoring those heroes, the tusk tuskegee airmen. >> he claimed in a previous special for hbo. a crucial vote in italy this morning. the italian senate passed a package of austerity measures with an attempt to pull the country out from near bankruptcy, but in order for these measures to become law, the lower house of parliament has to approve it, as well. prime minister silvio berlusconi will step down once the new forms are passed. likely head by former eu commissioner mario monte. a new greek prime minister will be sworn in just about 45 minutes from now. former banker, lucas papademos will lead. he is promising to implement harsh austerity measures to get a second bailout from the european union. george papandreou stepped down earlier this week. >> u.s. markets poised to open higher this morning. right now the dow, nasdaq ask s&p 500 futures are all higher but just modestly ahead of the opening bell. up next, what you have been waiting for all morning. the top ten list on david letterman with rick perry. his excuses from the infamous gop debate, brain freeze oops moment. well, we think there are ten of them. >> rick perry has a chance to redeem himself on the debate front again tomorrow. what about the others? could we see a new frontrunner emerge? a preview of the big weekend event coming up in south carolina. bring your jackets wherever you go this weekend. it is starting with a shot of very cold air. chilly here in new york, too. will the warmth return? our reynolds wolf is up next. ten minutes after the hour. we're back after this. down the hill? man: all right. we were actually thinking, maybe... we're going to hike up here, so we'll catch up with you guys. [ indistinct talking and laughter ] whew! i think it's worth it. working with a partner you can trust is always a good decision. massmutual. let our financial professionals help you reach your goals. please don't go, even though it's a little cold, boston. it's okay. going to get colder in the next few months. 46 degrees for you this morning. cloudy right now. looks like it's going to get to 51 degrees. say it's going to be sunny. a lot of clouds to push out of the way to get sunny, but what do we know about these things? >> why don't we go to the expert. reynolds wolf save us in the extreme weather center. good morning. >> looks like it's okay for boston, but, you're right, winter is right around the corner. very interesting travel day for a lot of people and apparently i know you're doing some traveling. i heard you're going to nairobi where you're headed, we're expected temperatures in the 70s with partly cloudy skies. but that's not the case in places like new york and philadelphia. gusty winds, major delays expected. in san francisco, same deal, same length of the delay. in boston, new york, or d.c. metros, gusty winds going to keep you basically, you know, delayed for a time or two. just take it easy and enjoy your flight and take off soon enough. high pressure your dominating feature and with that very calm effect on the atmosphere a lot of sunshine in the big easy. back over to dallas and even in houston. when you get across the rockies and west into the great basin we're talking about the chance of scattered showers and in the cascades, look for some snowfall and perhaps even snow in portions of the upper rockies and back in the bitter roots of montana. for the northeast, scattered showers, of course, some rain in the eastern half of the great lakes, but places like detroit, chicago, nice, cool, relatively dry for you. in terms of your high temperatures, different story. looking at, again, that cooler air finally making its way into parts of say the extreme pacific northwest. 48 degrees. 50 in billings and 61 degrees in denver and 60s, mid-60s in memphis and 66 in new orleans and 49 in new york. that's going to be your high for the day. let's pitch it over to ali. again, high 49 degrees. enjoy your day. >> thank you, sir. thanks for the weather report in nairo nairobi. i'll enjoy the flight. reynolds, thanks a lot. governor rick perry is poking fun at himself last night on letterman after he couldn't name the third government agency that he would ax at the gop debate. the top ten rick perry excuses for the gaffe, right here. >> actually, there were three reasons i messed up last night. one was the nerves. and two was the headache and three, oops. hey, listen, you try concentr e concentrating with mitt romney smiling at you. that is one handsome dude. i had a five-hour energy drink six hours before the debate. i wanted to help take the heat off my buddy herman cain. >> let's put this stuff in the caboose. and the number one rick perry excuse -- >> i just learned justin bieber is my father. >> rick perry is hoping he will be able to live down that pa painful performance and tomorrow there is another debate. they'll gather for another debate and i was going to poke fun at it but ron brownstein is also the editorial director of the national journal. >> don't be dissing our debate. >> does it even matter with all these debates any more. >> it's the opposite. what we're seeing in these debates is that they're taking over the race. it used to be, we talked about the invisible primary and people went almost door-to-door in iowa and nebraska. now, in the modern era, it's become a national audition where everybody is being exposed to the same media and the debates having an overwhelming effect on the race. >> the ratings do tend to be quite high. americans are watching. >> especially when you consider it compared to the overall size of the republican, we're not talking about a general election but a primary where 25 million people will vote. 6 million people are watching these debates. you can see the enormous impact and, of course, for perry, put him in a very difficult position. >> compare to the democratic campaign where you had two very popular and strong frontrunners, barack obama, and hillary clinton and you had john edwards, who was also very popular and the bottom line is this. now you have frontrunners who have a tight core of support, but, you know, not everybody is always excited about it. herman cain may be the exception here. he continues to have a very exciting following. >> when you look at the polling, really two republican races that are unfolding. if you look at the more moderate, more business oriented and more secular part of the party, it is consolidating around mitt romney. tea party oriented and evangelical christian and they basically do not want romney, but they have not been able to settle on one candidate and really the volatility of the race is that part of the party. now herman cain, none of them have been able to consolidate outside of the party against romney. you get the growing sense that as he brings his side together, maybe no one ever really rises to challenge him. >> none of these debates are dwelling on the social conservative issues. they're dwelling on economics, which is the smart thing because that's what concerns everybody in this country. but the two guys that have come out with programs or have ideas that sound very economically sound. newt gingrich and john huntsman are not getting much action. told piers morgan more than half the field doesn't want romney. >> you know, in fact, there may never be a point where there is an affirmative majority, but it doesn't matter. you know f thxwoknow, if that a and look at what happened to perry. what was so damaging for perry about this debate was that it confirmed an existing storyline. that is the most dangerous thing in politics. if al gore misspelledpita potat when dan quayle did it, it was proof of what people thought to begin with. perry had faced these doubts going am to the debate about whether he had mastery of the subjects and capable of carrying the fight of president obama and the election. >> but in fairness, you know and i know rick perry actually does understand energy. the fact that he blanked on the department of energy can't be proof that he's not smart. >> but i think what it really raises is the concern the republicans looking at that debate will go into it. the ones who wondered going into it if he was capable of taking the fight to president obama and the general election, a lot more doubts after it. that helpful needle from the romney campaign, by the way, three presidential debates in the fall and, you know, that kind of question, i think that's what heard perry. >> that's a big deal. christine romans interviewed rick perry yesterday morning where he said, we don't need a debater, we need x, y, z. you debate world leaders. >> he's right, being able to convey a message on television is not the only job description or qualification to be president. certainly one of them. this will make it tougher for him. good news for romney and probably lowers the ceiling on rick perry and that's probably the story. herman cain, the floor has held up for him in the sexual harassment allegations. >> those are more serious than forgetting the department of energy. >> probably the ceiling has come down. you look at the new polling, for example, you know, there's a lot of republicans who say it doesn't bother them, but, what, 40% say it does. that means it will be harder for him to grow and you have, again, increasing the risk for conservatives that they fragment and none of the candidates can consolidate a critical mask. >> the hole you mentioned 40% find the, they, 43% of people didn't change their opinion of herman cain of republicans after seeing sharon bialek, 45% less favorable and 9% had a more favorable of cain. >> first, it's not quite the sexual harassment caucus, but the fact that he is drawing from the most conservative part of the republican party who is the most likely to believe that anything coming out of the main stream media. but if you look at that poll. that is a good news poll from mitt romney. herman cain's floor is not collapsing, which means he will peel away a big part of that conservative vote that is leery of romney. as i said, his ceiling is getting lower. you have the risk, or actually, the opportunity for romney that a large part of the vote that doesn't like him will go for a candidate in herman cain who now probably can't grow to the point where he can really beat him. you're parking those people in a candidacy that is unlikely to win. marks it harder for someone like newt gingrich. >> in the old days candidates would drop out. why is nobody dropping out? why are 1% and 2% in the polls staying in? >> because the cable networks.
