[ chanting ] he also brought a bag of rocks. souvenirs from his 69-day underground odyssey. he handed one to chile's president sebastian pinero who kept a vigil. we made a promise. hour after hour. another miner brought back to the surface. another emotional reunion with loved ones. at this rate, it will take more than 24 hours before all 33 miners are out of danger. do you know when your brother's going to be brought out? maria herrera's brother is still trapped. my brother is number 16, she told. we are not sleeping or anything. we are just waiting. after two long months, that wait may almost be over. for the remaining miners, their country and families. a sleepless night for sure, but also, a very happy, very joyous one, as well. a couple of hours ago the mining minister here tweeted that things were moving ahead of schedule. and it is operating like clockwork. back to you. >> one of the things we are really marveling at, seth, the condition of these miners when kay come out. when we first saw the pencils and they were gaunt and tired, they were exhausted. they looked like they were on life's edge. they're coming out of the ground now. they look remarkable. >> reporter: it is true. that's one of the things we heard walking around that camp. we were in the middle of camp hope last night when where the families keeping vigil and they were all watching this together as the first miners arrived on the surface and people were saying to me, my gosh, i can't believe how healthy, how in shape they look. when the first miner took a couple of those first steps, everyone was in disbelief. because this was so incredibly well orchestrated. they were sending everything from small projection televisions to music, to posters to regular notes and certainly food. we bumped into the food distributor, u.s. company providing food here and they said the last meal was chicken with arab rice and beef stew and they were eating quite well in some cases. >> extraordinary. seth doane as the san jose mine site in chile. thanks again. we'll be checking back with you soon. here's maggie. >> harry, thank you. joining me is dr. jerry linenger who was a scientist on a space shuttle when they were trapped for 132 days. jerry, good morning. >> good morning, maggie. >> is all of this taking you back to your rescue day? >> it is. i tell you, it is a wonderful thing coming back to the surface of the earth and for the miners coming up to the surface of the earth. you know, we have got such a great life here on the planet. and so, you know, i'm sort of reliving it. so far, 13 families have gotten the best news possible. things have gone according to plan and still 20 families who are hopeful for the same outcome and not guaranteed the same outcome. do you think that we can assume that everything will continue to go well or do you think there's a danger in becoming too come place snent. >> we better not be complacent. this is almost like a space operation. you very methodically look at everything and going through a bore hole, jam the mechanism. until they're all out, that's when you breathe your sigh of relief like the space shuttle in landing. you wait until its wheel s stop and then the fresh air comes gushing in. >> seeing the miners emerge, you'd never know it was a rough journey up but it is. it is a bumpy ride that a mine safety expert likened to an amusement park ride. nasa donated liquid they were fed to make it easier. you, of course, have experience with that. what did they take? >> you have a concern of standing up and then you faint and if you faint you normally go to the ground and of course the blood is back to the brain and you are okay again but stuck inside the fenix capsule, you are stuck. they gave them fluid loading and the thing we do when we reenter after being in space in my case for five months. trying to keep the pressure up to the brain. >> so far, all of them in good condition. they haven't required any special medication which is really amazing. >> they look amazing. it is fantastic. >> chile says they'll keep caring for the miners and keep a close eye on them for at least six months until they're sure they have readjusted. you know firsthand how difficult to readjust. >> absolutely, maggie. as a matter of fact, i think psych lodge cll it is a tough thing. i had to work through -- you sort of suppress things being cut off, the survivor. all the different things they have suppressed to stay on an even keel and then you have to psychologically work through that. in my case, probably a year, year and a half, actually, wrote about my adventures. i think they'll write about theirs. you relive it and recatch up psychologically and get yourself back on an even keel again. >> do you go on to have a normal life after something like that? >> you have a normal life but it is life changing. and my life is three segments, 40 years on the planet, five months off the planet and now the third phase of life and appreciate the elemental things of the earth. the air around us. the breeze in your face. the color of green. my family especially. and, you know, that's just pure adrenaline and joy to see your family. i'm sure the miners are in, you know, in heaven right now. >> you know that feeling because department you see your wife immediately? >> i did. she was pregnant. two weeks away from delivery. my son was handed to me. it's like -- it's like handing me you, maggie rye you saying i'm heavy? >> no, not at all. >> i'm kidding. >> that moment right there. you're carrying your infant son and your other child born two weeks later. >> people say how do you top blasting off in space? it's the people you love and care about. greatest moment of the life seeing my wife an she looked beautiful after five months coming back. >> i'm sure that's a feeling that the miners are experiencing. >> they're euphoric. i sent notes down to them saying hey, up in the u.s., the astronauts are thinking about you guys. come up with your head held high. we're proud of you. it is in us, in our dna. explorer. still tough. we can rise to the occasion. >> the whole world is pulling for them. thank you. >> my honor being here. >> time to check the rest of the headlines. jeff glor is in at the news desk this morning. good morning. >> good morning. we begin with midterm elections. two debates last night. the candidates going toe to toe over everything and not always the issues. cbs news chief white house correspondent chip reid with details this morning. good morning to you. >> reporter: well, hi, jeff. it is getting nasty out there but here in washington the president was surprisingly low key last night at a town hall intended to energize young voters. >> the only way this is going to work is if hope defeats fear and that manifests itself in you guys committing to vote. >> reporter: on the west coast, fireworks between california gubernatorial candidates republican meg whitman and democrat jerry brown. the debate exploded over comments by one of brown's campaign workers. the worker recorded calling miss whitman a whore. brown questioned the offensiveness of the term compared to the n-word. >> i don't agree with the comparison. number two, this is a five-week-old private conversation. >> reporter: brown apologized for the worker's comments and didn't end there. >> i think every californian and especially women know exactly what's going on here. and that is a deeply offensive term to women. >> can i just interject?

and he was sincere and he was compassionate. and i mean, he was doing his job. and it's just -- it breaks my heart that people would do this to him. and my heart goes out to his family because they're having to go through what we're going through right now. >> yeah. pam, have you heard or are you concerned that this will affect the search process for your son? do you think that maybe now they will be less likely to continue as intense an investigation? >> we're still pray that they're going to continue a full force investigation. i haven't heard that they're scaling back. i hope the mexican government pursues finding who did this to him and make it right. he was trying to make his country better. and it's like they need to find who did this to him, as well. >> tiffany, are you scared for your own safety? >> no, i'm not. i know the questions have come up about me going to mexico. i would fear for my safety if i did decide to go over there. and that decision has kind of been made as a

>> thing, different than when your parents parented you. new things we know. new challenges. you may really have to explain to your parents why you're making the choices you are, provide information, provide research. provide the reading so they can understand why you're doing what you're doing. >> often you fail in that and they ignore it. >> they feel is their right. they've earned this right. i don't know why grandparents think this, to spoil your children. give the kid candy all day long and ship them back to your house. >> it is true. i shspoken to my parents about this. they say, we get to indulge them. this our time. we raised you. gave you all the rules. it's our time for indulgence. there is truth to that, with reason. it's important to communicate to be able to not have breakdowns. look, there's a limit. i need you to respect the limits and not undermine me in any way. >> there are some examples where they shouldn't be undermining you. if you have different parenting styles don't they have to respect yours? >> have to are strong words. we would like them to. certainly. when there's a conflict, go back to them and say this happened. the important to me it happens this way. respect how i'm doing it. you did a great job raising me. trust i'm going to do a great job raising your grandchildren. >> you suggest getting together with your spouse and discussing the role each grandparent should play? >> do that before you have kids. you want to know what to do early. it's important, because your husband might want his parents there all the time. maybe that's not what you want. maybe you want your parents there all the time. maybe that's not what he wants. you want a balance what's going to work for everybody so that everybody's on the same page and working together to be the best parent and grandparent. >> in a perfect world, that can be tough. >> you're not always going to be -- you want to have conversations with the grandparents about your expectations of them. how much you really want them to be involved. special time created for them so everybody, again -- we talk about this all the tile. ongoing conversations are going change as the kids change in age, all that stuff. >> no matter how conversations you have, it's not perfect and you'll still have battles. how do you pick your battles?

>> you all have to work at it together. >> you're not giving me even one. >> at the end of the day, you're the parent. your kids. so i think grandparents need to take a little step back and recognize you're going to make good choices. if they trained you well, they're going to make good choices, too. >> most parents, grandparents, are going to be great. say there's a rare example where you really are on different pages, tried communicating, tried everything. what's the last resort?

>> well, we know what's happened before when they went to war two and a half million people died in that 21-year war that ended with a negotiated peace agreement. there's more than a good chance, i'm not saying this, this is from the state department said it is a ticking time bomb. the cia said it's the place most likely to have atrocities including genocide. the president, we met with senator lugar yesterday. everyone has the same fear, which is that a lot of people could be dying -- could die. >> talk about this a little bit, john, who has the most to gain in this situation, and who's at greatest risk? >> well, the stakes have risen dramatically over the last ten years in southern sudan is the exploitation of oil began to come onstream and sudan now is the third largest oil producer in africa, which is no mean feat because new jaer yeah and angola produce about 15% of exports. there is a lot of stake in the north losing in the south where the oil is, that would be the bill loser. so, they are going to fight it and that's what's putting the two parties at extreme risk of war. the only solution is a diplomatic one and the united states is going to play a major role in that if we gird our loins and get in there and try to stop the war. >> the oil is basically in the middle of all of this. george, as you went to see the president yesterday, what did he have to say? >> well, we talked to him, you know, we -- we wanted to let him know, first of all, that we were going to try and find as much support as he could, as much political will. the good news is, is this one of those issues even in the most politicized season i think i've ever seen that isn't political at all. both republicans and democrats everyone sort of agrees on diplomatic measures. we very happy to see how involved, really involved, the president personally is in this issue because he understands that now, in 88, 89 days from now, you can do all of this diplomatically, it won't cost a dime, it won't cost american lives now. in 88 days, it's going to be mopping up a mess or there's a very good possibility and he has, right now, a great commitment trying to avoid that. >> john, what it takes, though, is will, it takes not only individual will but a collective world will to go in there ahead of time and say, all right, after this referendum takes place, you need to not kill each other. is there a way that the world can express that to the people there? i mean, you are talking about omar al bashir, who is a war criminal. is there a way to communicate that that will end up with peace? >> well, the good news is we don't have to send in american troops, we don't have to spend billions of dollars. this is one we can actually prevent. in 2005, american diplomacy helped end the war between the north and the south that we're trying to present the resumption of. so, we have a track record which aggressive and robust diplomacy can actually work. we just need to replicate that machine, work with our international partness and get the diplomatic solution that can prevent the war. i've been working on war and peace in africa for 25 years. we didn't get in front of rwanda, we didn't prevent somalia. we got a chance to prevent the war between the north and south sudan and have to do everything we can to stop it. >> george, quickly is there a shorthand for this, does there need to be a special diplomatic mission, a special united nations mission, what needs to literally happen in 30 seconds or less so that there's something in place that, firewall to prevent a cataclysm? >> well, we have those are in place now. there is the u.n. security council was -- showed up in juba while we were there last week. there is an envoy and there are people from the united states working on it and there are more coming and there is more work. what it requires is an intense focus. i think that no one was very much focused on this, from anyone, the u.n., the administration, or anyone two months ago. i think they are now. and i think that's important. >> well, if you didn't keep going there, a lot of us wouldn't be talking about it. and we very much appreciate ,, [ female announcer ] why watch regular tv when you can experience the next generation of television service?

>> yes. >> describe that. >> well, birmingham really had two parallel societies, on the one hand you had the white world then you had the black world. and the twains didn't meet very often. my parents were part of a middle-class black community that believed in faith and family and education. but, of course, they were quite ordinary people, a school teacher, minister and high school guidance counselor. but the circumstances to teach a little girl you might not be able to have a hamburger at a woolworth's law cou bse you couldn't uegregationbut uld to be and that was owe/. >> what a dichotomy. >> what a die com tee. >> you talk about getting in the car and going on trips and h not tp from the deep hat's right. because restrooms were segregated. and, of course, the restrooms for coloreds, as they were called at the time were pretty awful. >> your mother wouldn't goimplts my though ther wouldn't go, simply wouldn't go into them. >> the -- there is that part of the story thens there he', also, part of the story that you were this only child. >> yes. >> and were you doted on something fierce. >> i was doted on something fierce. i had wonderful parents, who loved me unconditionally and gave me really every opportunity that they could even remotely call an educational opportunity. but, it was really the ethic in my community more broadly. my parents' friends, also, believed in the strength of educational values and preparation and, frankly, being twice as good so that you can show the white man that you were capable. >> underline that again. i mean, it trips off the tongue but think about that living in a world where you had to be i twice as good. >> right. >> given any actual consideration at all. >> that's right. and if you were going to have a productive life and if you were going to control your circumstances, my parents believed that you might not be able to control the circumstances, but you could certainly control your response to them. and education was a kind of armor, preparation was a kind of armor that allowed you to do that. and so, if you had to be twice as good, so be it. and it wasn't a matter of debate, by the way, it was just sort of said that way. >> i know. it's interesting because there are a bunch of different things. they gave you every lesson under the sun and let you watch as much tv as you wanted, another part of the story i loved so much but also made you earn some things. you had a tiny sort of organ in your house and there was a song. can we just listen to this song a second? ♪ ♪ >> why is this song so important? >> that song is "what a friend we have in jesus" and my father told me, when you can play "what a friend we have in jesus" perfectly, we'll buy you a piano, because i asked for one because the little organ didn't have enough trees. i went to my grandmother's house that next day and for eight hours i practiced and i practiced and my grandmother said i wouldn't even get up for lunch. when my parents came home to pick me up, i knew "what a friend we have in jesus" perfectly and my poor parents who didn't have the money to buy a piano went out i think on one of those rent-to-own things rented a piano so they wouldn't disappoint me. >> extraordinary stories in this book how your father became a republican because the democrats couldn't register him, a black man couldn't be registered to vote in the south and that day and age. but stokely carmichael came over for dinner. >> absolutely. >> a member of the black panthers. >> my father really was sort of attracted to radical black politics despite the fact he was a quite conservative man himself, republican all his life. he really, i think, was attracted to the way they confronted racism, not with humility and sublimation but really with strength and so i did have a lot of associations that in retrospect would perhaps be viewed a little strangely. >> how's your golf game? >> my golf game's coming along. working on my short game and looking forward to playing with you, harr. >> one of these days. a terrific book. the next will be about? >> about foreign policy. this says where i came from, important to me. >> quite a story. thank you. >> thank you. >> the book is called "extraordinary ordinary people". >> announcer: this portion of "the early show" sponsored by dannon activia. >> as you probably know by now october is breast cancer awareness months. time again to think pink. katrina szish is here with a selection of great products that all benefit breast cancer charity. good morning, katrina. >> good morning, maggie. so many items this season is so i'll dive right in. >> do it. >> start with items for our fashionista so, many out there. new balance lace up for the cure collection as we have on cas diane amazing collection of athletic gear. they have donated to the susan g. komen cause for the cure over 20 years, one of those things you can't miss and of course we want to be fit and in shape. we have a dkny, sequinned t-shirt. we can be fashionable and beneficial at the same time. which we love. and let's get over to shoes, one of my favorites. >> when i walked out these sassy boots caught my eye right away. >> i love the hot pink boots. people aren't doing just pink but hot pink these are by fergie of the black-eyed peas. >> friday on qvc, you can buy them for $45, 50% off. to benefit breast cancer. >> an incentive to hen the cause. >> absolutely. >> 45 bucks for fergie shoes i'm all over it. >> me, too. >> nina wexler, fingerless gl, she is a cancer survivor took up knitting and donates 100% of the proceeds from her handing-knit gloves by breast cancer survivors. 1 hurz% goes to the breast cancer foundation. >> the proceeds all vary but this is one example she is making solely to benefit breast cancer. >> absolutely. >> i love that. >> we shaf shoe dazzles, animal prints from your life always a good thing. >> i told us it is all the rage. >> absolutely. all about animal prints and jewelry galore. >> what is this?
