A special edition of WKMG-Ch. 6’s “Flashpoint,” airing tonight, gathers the four candidates for Orange County mayor: businessman Matthew Falconer, former County Commissioner Teresa Jacobs and current Commissioners Bill Segal and Linda Stewart.

WKMG anchor Lauren Rowe (pictured) moderates the special, which taped Friday afternoon. One recurring topic was ethics, Rowe says. The candidates also answer viewers’ questions and get the chance to ask a question of a fellow candidate.

The special airs at 8 tonight and repeats at 7 a.m. Sunday.

By the way, Rowe’s “Flashpoint” will move to 8:30 a.m. Sundays, starting Aug. 15. That’s a good time slot, right before “CBS Sunday Morning.”

The most discussed interview on Sunday morning television is bound to be President Barack Obama’s chat with Harry Smith on “CBS Sunday Morning.” It airs at 9 a.m. on WKMG-Channel 6 and continues on Monday’s edition of “The Early Show” at 7 a.m.

Obama discusses the war in Afghanistan, the resurgence of the U.S. auto industry and the Arizona immigration law, according to CBS News. But Obama’s thoughts about the economy will probably generate the headlines. CBS News released these excerpts this afternoon.

“We’ve put together a small business package that is as bipartisan a set of ideas as you can imagine,” Obama tells Smith. “And these are all what historically have been not just Democratic ideas but Republican ideas. And all we’ve been hearing is no from the other side in the Senate. I am stunned that you can’t get any Republican support for ideas that have been traditionally championed by not just Democrats but Republicans. And it’s a sign of how politics is getting in the way of good decisions that will put our country in a much stronger position.”

Obama adds: “We’re going to have to focus on our fiscal situation. We’ve got a lot of debt. We’ve got a lot of deficit. Now the Republicans have said that this is their No. 1 concern. I’m going to call them on their bluff. I want to see their ideas for how we’re going to deal with these issues. I’m going to have a bunch of ideas.”

On the Arizona issue, Obama says:

“We want to work with Arizona. I understand the frustration of people in Arizona. But what we can’t do is demagogue the issue. And what we can’t do is allow a patchwork of 50 different states, or cities or localities, where anybody who wants to make a name for themselves suddenly says, ‘I’m going to be anti-immigrant and I’m going try to see if I can solve the problem our self.’ This is a national problem.”

For Father’s Day, CBS’ “Sunday Morning” offers an interview with President Barack Obama about the importance of fathers.

Harry Smith of “The Early Show” asks the questions and notes that Obama wrote a book about searching for his identity because his father was absent.

“He wasn’t around,” Obama says. “Now, one of the things I’ve benefited from was my mother was generous in describing him. And so even though he wasn’t there, I had this sense that he was smart and, you know, hard-working and talented. And so, as a young boy, I could have a sense that, well, my father was an important person.

“It was only later in life that I found out that he actually led a very tragic life. And in that sense, it was the myth that I was chasing as opposed to knowing who he really was. But despite the incredible efforts of my mom, no there’s no doubt that that still left a hole in me. … I think that’s true for a lot of kids.

“And, you know, the incredible importance that the smallest gestures can make by a father — I still remember he gave me my first basketball. And it wasn’t until much later in life that I realized that my passionate interest in basketball might have brought out of just that small gesture of him giving me a basketball for Christmas.”

“Sunday Morning” airs at 9 a.m. tomorrow on WKMG-Channel 6.

What's it all about, Michael Caine?

He talks to CBS' "Sunday Morning" this weekend about his remarkable career.

“A reporter once asked me, ‘Do you believe in God?’ and
I said, ‘Well if you had my career, you’d believe in
God,' ”
Caine tells correspondent Mark Phillips.

The Oscar-winning actor talks about the circular nature of his career. “I was working class and I became a star,” he says. “I
started out in [repertory theater] playing a butler saying ‘dinner is served,’
and I wound up as the butler in 'Batman.' Before I was called ‘Alfie,’ now I
am called ‘Alfred,’” he says. “I have gained some dignity along the
way.”

"Sunday Morning" airs at 9 a.m. Sunday on WKMG-Channel 6.

Caine says his success in American movies caused a backlash in Britain. "[I] made a lot of enemies here because they never
forgave you for becoming a star in America," he says. "They called it selling out. … 'He was doing great Shakespearean stuff here and then he is doing silly movies in America.' "

Winning Oscars, too, for "Hannah and Her Sisters" and "The Cider House Rules."

Coach Bob Hurley next week becomes the third high-school coach inducted into the Basketball of Fame. He has won three national championships and 23 state titles in 37 years at St. Anthony High School in Jersey City, N.J.

He shares his view on education with "CBS News Sunday Morning" this weekend.

“Parents let kids be mediocre. Teachers let kids be
average … I’m holding them to the highest standard I can,” Hurley tells Armen Keteyian.

He makes his students sign a contract. He explains: "They don’t know if it’s really a legal document, but it gives everybody a
chance to say, ‘Well I can’t do this because you know, my coach he crazy.’
That’s the phrase in Jersey City."

"Sunday Morning" airs at 9 a.m. on WKMG-Channel 6.

Nancy Reagan and daughter Patti Davis tell CBS' "Sunday Morning" that their once-strained relationship continues to improve.

The two women started to reconcile after Ronald Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Nancy Reagan (pictured) leaned on her daughter as the former president was dying.

"It's one of those role-reversal moments … here your mother is weeping in your arms like you did in her arms when you were a child," Davis tells Lesley Stahl.

Nancy Reagan talks about the estrangement with her daughter. "Most mothers and daughters go through this experience, this period. However, at the end of the day, they'll probably be back together," the former first lady says. "There is hope," she says with a laugh.

The Reagan segment airs at 9 a.m. Sunday on WKMG-Channel 6.

Want some glimpses of Broadway's biggest new hit?

You'll get them when "CBS News Sunday Morning" profiles Arthur Laurents, director of the red-hot revival of "West Side Story" that opened Thursday.

And why does this new version have such passion?

It could be because Laurents, at 91, still believes in sexual passion.

"I think sex is terribly important … Maybe I'm oversexed," Laurents says. "I have found that people who don't have any sex life, they don't have much of any other life."

What do you say to that?

Mo Rocca talks to Laurents. The program airs at 9 a.m. on WKMG-Channel 6.

A warning: Katharine Hepburn fans might be seeing red. Laurents wasn't wild about the Great Kate. "She had no sense of humor," Laurents says. 

What’s coming Sunday morning?
