by chance or design, has landed on america's political third rail -- race. >> i often have people ask me because i happen to be an american plaque conservative, aren't you angry with the history of america? what a stupid question. >> reporter: and for a candidate who has vowed not to talk about race, lately cain is certainly doing a lot of it. don lemon, cnn, atlanta. "cnn newsroom" continues right now with done lemon. >> thank you so much, suzanne. interesting, that topic didn't come up much last night. that's not history, though. i'm sure he'll be talking much more about that. but the cnn western republican debate, it is history. but what happened in vegas got very heated, and very personal. listen. >> i'm speaking. >> it's time for you to tell the truth. >> you get 30 seconds. the way the rules work here is

you get 60 seconds and you get 30 seconds to respond. would you please wait? are you just going to keep talking. let me finish what i'm saying. >> boy, you know what it was? it was illegal immigration that sparked that conversation. rick perry's numbers dropped. the governor tried to throw the issue back at mitt romney last night. >> mitt, you lose all of your standing from my perspective because you hired illegals, in your home, and you knew about it for a year. and the idea that you stand here before us and talk about that you're strong on immigration, is on its face the height of hypocrisy. >> maybe we needed these guys to jump in the middle. joining us live from las vegas, juan carlos lopez, a correspondent with cnn in

espanol, and senior political editor mr. mark preston. 60% of the spanish voters supported candidate obama. juan carlos, the hispanic vote no doubt is a key swing vote. cain made the comment about electrified fence that he got in so much trouble for. are they losing hispanics here? >> well, it's interesting that whatever happens in vegas people hoped stays in vegas. and i guess that's what the candidates are going to want for this issue on immigration. i'll just give mark an example. in 2010, the election, harry reid kept his senate seat. due to the hispanic vote. and it was after a very bitter battle with sharon engel, who had a tough position under illegal immigration. many hispanics feel the debate, isn't necessarily on illegal immigration but on hispanics.

he got most of the hispanic votes. >> mark, why immigration? i imagine this isn't a black-and-white question, they probably intertwine, but the conventional wisdom is that it's about jobs and the economy. >> it is. it's all about jobs and the economy. issue number one, we've been talking about it for several years now. what you're seeing in the immigration issue is that it's being framed that illegal immigrants are coming across the border and taking american jobs. by and large, that's not necessarily true. but if you look at the unemployment rate in las vegas, double digits. people are frustrated. people are losing their homes, losing their jobs. it's very easy to look at illegal immigrants coming into the country and pinning all their problems on that. the question of illegal immigration is a problem. people coming across the border are breaking the law. >> i guess they want to pin it on something, as you said. juan carlos, president obama pointed to sonya sotomayor, is

that enough to pin on hispanics at this time? >> this hispanic community, they're upset the reform didn't happen. they've been signaling the white house for that. they're also upset about the deportations. the obama administration has already deported about 1 million people in the three years. the figures for 2011 are almost 400,000, more than any republican president. but the interesting thing is that even though hispanics are upset and feel that the president hasn't delivered on that promise, he did name sonya sotomayor, he does have members in his cabinet. he's done a lot of things. they're not hearing a message from republicans saying they'll do things differently. on the contrary, the impression we get speaking to people is they feel pushed away from the republicans. >> quickly, mark, if you can answer this. a short time left here. will the eventual nominee need somebody like mark rubio for the hispanic vote? they have different issues, they don't all vote the same.

>> that's absolutely true. juan carlos knows this better than anybody. cuban-americans down in south florida are different than hispanics living out here in las vegas. mark rubio, the senator from florida, a rock star. a lot of people think that whoever is nominated president will name him the vice president. we've got a long time to go before we get to that. people like mark rubio, and the governor of nevada, as well thae they can get back the support. >> juan carlos is nodding his head in agreement. we appreciate it. we want to go now to ohio, where police say only three of 50 or so wild animals they've been chasing all night and all day are still on the loose. lions and tigers, bears and wolves, giraffes and camels all kept on a one-man preserve near zanesville until late yesterday. now, according to zanesville

mayor, the animals' owner apparently opened all the pens and then took his own life. sheriff's deputies, wildlife experts, state troopers and firefighters scrambling now to minimize the threat to public safety which was and is substantial. many, if not most of the animals now said to be accounted for, have been killed. and at a news conference, you may have seen live right here on cnn the country's best-known zookeeper said there was no alternative. >> the sheriff did the right thing. we have animal rights groups giving me calls right now. what was he to do with tigers and lions, leopards, going out there. in the wild, this is a different situation. these cats were captive animals. right now it's raining, that's in our favor, they're probably hunkered down out of the rain. once they start moving, that will help us figure out what to do. >> jan hck hanna will join me.

developing news now. this is our facetime segment. developing news out of ohio. let's show the picture real quickly. we're waiting for a press conference regarding those animals. they just started this press conference. let's listen in, and then we'll be back to you in just moments. >> wanted to get it out there to our public. we have confirmed that the missing bear and the missing mountain lion that we could not account for, they have been

recovered. both have been put down. evidently last night. the mountain lion made it across off the farm and onto a private property into a backyard. so i wanted to put our public to ease a little bit that we have recovered the mountain lion. we have recovered the bear. that leaves us with what we believe is only two animals that are missing from this farm. one would be the monkey and one would be a wolf. at that point, that is what we have. and i wanted to get that out to you now. i don't want a lot of questions because we will have some more information at 3:00. we will be releasing the 911 cds. there were only two phone calls. one is, i know a neighbor in the area, the other is, i don't know if it was a passerby or another neighbor. but those are the only two calls. we will form a line and i would like to have you print your name, put your agency down, show your credentials and do a signature for me so we can make sure you all get one and make sure i know who's getting them.

okay? any quick questions on that part of the information? >> put down if they need to be tranquilized? >> they were killed. this was last night. this was last night. yes. they were shot by our officers. evidently the one lion sounds like the one that was in the pack, that we had put down four at one point, he was probably wounded and got to that yard and expired. >> how many animals are being -- >> we are going to have more to comment on those animals at 3:00. >> quickly while we're here -- >> you're looking at ohio, holding a press conference talking about the hundreds of animals that went missing -- 50 or so, i should say, animals released by this animal that had this preserve. this was according to someone earlier, the mayor said they believe he took his own life. they said they found at least three more -- two more of the animals and it's believed a

monkey is still missing right now. a mountain lion and a bear both recovered, but he said they had been put down. one made it onto a neighbor's private property. i imagine they're still looking for the monkey. it appears most of the animals that may have been provided some sort of danger to people, have been found there in ohio. we're going to talk to jack hanna coming up in a little bit on cnn. good news at least as far as recovery goes. let's move on now. over 200,000 kids going hungry. i'm not talking about some far-off place, it's right here in this country. in one state alone, it's uncovered and we're taking you there. undercover. we're taking you there. first, a look at the top videos on cnn.com right now. ♪ sent her back to college for her sophomore year ♪

in five counties, as many as 222,000 students can't afford to pay for their own lunch. they either get it for free or for a few cents through a federally-funded lunch program. we're talking about 71% of students in one county alone. that number was 63% just four years ago. that's nearly three out of every four kids. the education editor at the "orlando sentinel." thanks for your time right now. the information i just shared, only scratches the surface, right? >> that's right. it's pretty bad. the economy in florida is hurting very badly right now, with an unemployment rate of 10.7%. which is considerably higher than the national average. and we've been hit real hard by the housing crisis here. >> just to qualify, i want to put this up, to get a lunch for free, a family of three has to have an income of $24,000 or less. we're talking about a year here. and to get lunch for 40 cents, a

family of three can have an income up to $41,000. some of these communities were once considered affluent communities. but not so anymore, according to these numbers. >> well, yeah, that's true. central florida, by and large, for a long time, hasn't really been as affluent, i think, as many people across the country might think. it's the home of disney world and universal studios, and there's a certain aura there. but the one community in particular, seminole county, where i live, is sort of considered the bedroom community of central florida, where a lot of people live and commute into town, into orlando. and even seminole county is hurting. and there are a lot of kids on free reduced lunches in seminole county as well. >> i want to give an idea how much money you have to qualify for the program. when you talk about a family of

that many, you know, $42,000, or $20,000, that's not a lot of money to support those folks. and you mentioned, sal, you mentioned the -- you talked about foreclosures and housing. there are many families living in hotels. to the point school buses are picking students up at their motels. >> that is correct. that's been happening, actually, for quite some time. and it's getting worse. and as you might have noticed in the article, the one woman we quoted was very fathankful for this program. she knows her child's going to have a meal. and, you know, it's not going to be a situation where the child is hungry, and in class, and is unable to concentrate. but that is true, there are people living in motels. or people just getting by, renting. there are people whose homes have been foreclosed on, and they're looking for places to live. it's a very untenable situation right now here. and i'm sure in many communities

across the country. >> and having to deal with studies and everything else, that children have to deal with on a more personal level, talk to me about what the families, the parents and the kids are saying about this particular situation, since you've been covering it, sal. >> well, again, it's not just our education team that has been covering it. we do consider the school -- public schools, especially, to be a place where, you know, a place that really reflects what's going on in the community, what's happening to the kids in schools and their families will be a good mirror on what's happening in the rest of the community. but there have been plenty of other stories that other teams in our newsroom have documented where the foreclosure rates in central florida especially, but across florida, are among the highest in the nation. and people are just struggling to stay in their homes. hopefully they're also looking at trying to hang on to their jobs, if they haven't lost their

jobs already. t a number of families have moved away. families are breaking up. there's something we call the mobility rate in public schools, which measures the number of times a child comes in and out of a classroom. and the mobility rate in orange county, and osceola county, are among the highest in the state. >> it is a story that needs much more attention, hopefully other folks will be covering it as well. sal, thank you for your time. >> thank you. from their makeup to their luxurious lifestyle. a whole different level here we're talking about. outrageous performances, you know them, love them, kiss is known for being extreme. and our own poppy harlow got a behind-the-scenes look at this iconic band. did she dress up like one of them? i hope she did. let's rock 'n' roll, folks. i'm not a number.

rock bands ever. it's the world of kiss. a rock empire that still tours after first hitting the stage 38 years ago. can you believe that? wow. poppy harlow spent exclusive time with kiss when the band invited her on tour. take a look. >> reporter: it's almost midnight. and kiss isn't showing any signs of slowing down. tonight the band's rocking hard in oshkosh, wisconsin. it's what they've been doing since 1973, putting on a spectacle to devoted fans, their painted faces known worldwide. what got us here began eight hours ago, when we met the band in minneapolis. aboard the kiss jet. not every day do i get picked up in a private plane.

eric singer and gene simmons are in back. >> we went on last night at 10:00. i didn't go to sleep until 4:00 in the morning. >> how do you do that? >> the adrenaline gets you through the show. but you get the much-deserved sleep, tonight same thing. >> that sound you're hearing is not bad cnn sound, that's our jet warming up. >> reporter: and then we're off, to oshkosh, and nearly 30,000 kiss fans. what do you think makes you guys different? >> kiss is so unique. where do you start? just the whole imagery, and the outfits and the makeup. everything's over the top. >> reporter: what about the groupies? are we going to see some tonight? >> there's groupies. i don't really partake so much now in that since i'm married. >> reporter: what could you guys walk away from this one show tonight with? >> $1 million. >> reporter: not bad. you have 20 shows this summer. touring makes sense. >> that's why it's good to be

me. >> reporter: here we go. touching down. oshkosh, wisconsin. backstage is a maze of trailers and port-a-potties. there's no running water, but kiss still gets fed well. we're going to see their private chef. he goes everywhere with kiss. >> the catch of the day. >> we actually have sea bass. >> reporter: paul has his own dressing room. the others share one in a nearby trailer. >> not bad. >> not bad. everything's all set up. >> i love that paul stanley has an eyelash curler. >> i don't know how to use it, but they put it here. >> reporter: at dinner, doc, the band's longtime manager reviews the song list. it's got to be cut down. >> we've got to only do an hour and a half. >> this is actually tough, because, you know, kiss has 400 songs to begin with, and we've got a set of 18 songs. >> reporter: you won't find any large entourage here. kiss is anything but high

maintenance. they do their own makeup, and as the band preps and primps, we set out with doc mcgee, who's famous in his own right. >> check it out. >> yeah! there's kiss stuff sold there. merchandise payoff is huge. especially in big venues. it's quarter to 10:00. kiss has been in makeup for two hours, which is a longer time than i take to put makeup on. we're going to get a rare glimpse into them finishing up the intense makeup process. what a transformation. look at these heels. look at these heels. is this all your hair? is this all your real hair? got some extensions in there? >> yes. some of it is in there. >> reporter: how many years of practice did this take? >> 38 years hoert how does it not all drip off during the

show? >> we bake it in. what happens is, this is a series of later. >> reporter: and this stays on for the whole show? >> well, actually, some of it drips off. but they love it when it does. >> reporter: can i help? >> yes. >> reporter: how many people can say they've done gene simmons' makeup? >> i would say none. >> reporter: how did i do? >> good. my method is, as you see, look at gene's big pen over there. look at mine. i wipe everything off. i'm very meticulous about it. >> reporter: very nice. what about these costumes? look at these shoulder pads. >> this is not a costume. this is my space outfit. i don't play in the boots. everybody asks that question. >> reporter: so you wear those when you're drumming? >> mm-hmm. >> reporter: we head over to check on paul. >> i always save the last for -- the last is cheap red lipstick. not bad, huh?

>> reporter: not bad. like a true woman. notice the knee pads. >> i started wearing knee pads, because my knees are all scar tissue. and fake nails because i play guitar so hard, i literally wear through my nail. i put on a fake nail. then cut it off. so basically all it's doing is it's a shield. >> reporter: who knew. >> who knew. >> reporter: secrets of kiss. in full regalia, it's time to meet the fans. are you a little obsessed? >> a little bit. >> now the fun begins. >> reporter: it is about showtime, 11:00. kiss making it up on stage. i have to check out the crowd. 30,000 screaming fans. >> the hottest band in the world! kiss! >> we take tremendous pride in what we do.

just before we went to break we asked you about locations, where everyone stands in a political debate. it's determined by polling status. take a look at this video. herman cain has risen in the polls, so his podium is now equal to rick perry's. mitt romney is the leader, so

his is dead center. there is rick santorum and michele bachmann. they are the furthest away from the action. the cnn western republican debate is over. and conventional wisdom is that romney and perry reestablished themselves as front runners. but what about the other candidates? did anyone else help themselves? while everyone took shots at the front runners, herman cain's 9-9-9 plan remain the topic of conversation. >> it raises revenues, and the worst part about it, it's regressive. a lot of people aren't paying any taxes, and i like that. i don't think that we should even things up by raising taxes. so it is a regressive tax. it's very, very dangerous in that it will raise more revenues, but the gentleman asked the question, he didn't even ask what we're talking about. he asked the question, what are you going to replace the income tax with? i say nothing. that's what we should replace it with. >> all right. so ed espinoza is democratic

political consultant and ron is a republican strategist. thank you, guys. ed, you first. did cain do a good job of defending his 9-9-9 plan? >> no, he didn't. he can't defend himself against republicans, i don't know how he'll defend himself against democrats. if you can't fight in a primary here, you're not going to fight in a general election here. >> you said that ron paul took him to the woodshed. there were others that said that mitt romney took him to the woodshed as well. everybody was beating up on him about this plan. >> yeah, everybody was beating up on cain. the interesting thing about cain, a lot of the other also-rans in this race, they've all decided to boycott nevada. they're not going to compete in the caucuses here. this race is now basically down to perry, romney and ron paul. some might say perry is dead. he might be a zombie candidate, but he can still cause some damage. i think last night hedthey

demonstrated that. >> they quickly moved on, perry, romney again. cain has benefited from perry's bad debates, but perry was better last night. i'm not sure how to qualify, was te solid or just his performance better than his last debate? >> i think the bar was so low on the other two debates, that any type of improvement was a massive improvement. he did very well for his level of performance. i mean, just showing some energy and enthusiasm and engagement. and to take it to romney, even though it got personal, it showed that people can't count him out of the debates just yet, of the race just yet. he does have a lot of money, and clearly a work in progress. but he has a few weeks now until the next debate to improve his performance further. but that does hurt herman cain. herman cain did suffer from not being able to explain the 9-9-9 plan correctly. then he really didn't engage

very effectively later on in the debate. and so he's going to have to be able to explain that plan in the next debate clearly, and just pretty much get aggressive. >> you know, the last election was really about foreign policy and terrorism. and if you didn't know the players, if you didn't know your geography, then you were sunk. bachmann implied libya is not in africa. is it over for her? >> are you directing that to me? >> yes. >> it's been over for bachmann for a while. she doesn't have a lot of money in the bank, her numbers haven't been going very well. and that comment doesn't help. the thing candidates like bachmann needs at this point is not to have any unforced errors. for her, that was one of them. >> the primaries and caucuses before april are no longer winner take all. does this help, or does it hurt the republicans? >> you know, i think it's a mixed bag. last time with obama and hillary, clinton's primary, they

were able to get their messages out, while we already had our front-runner, john mccain. this time, we're going to be, you know, working on the primaries, working on the -- the candidates will be working on their delegate counts while president obama will be doing clear campaign. in a way it hurts us, but in a way it can also help us, because people are going to pay a lot of attention to the primaries to see who emerges as the real front-runner, the real candidate. it's six of one, half dozen of the other. >> ron and ed -- >> long way to go. >> -- thank you very much. and that is fair game today. more anger, more clashes on the steps of a government building where lawmakers are protesting protesters' financial future. do you know where this is going on? we're going to take you there next in globe trekking. ca rie sr with b vitamins, the first and only one to help support a healthy metabolism. three smart new ways to sweeten.

anger over pay cuts and pay disparities, over government intrusion. we're not talking about the occupy movement. violent clashes over new austerity measures are happening in greece right now, protesters throwing rocks and molotov cocktails. six protesters and 15 police officers have been injured today. more than a dozen people have been arrested. dana is right in the thick of it in athens and joins us right now. what is the message in the latest round of demonstrations? >> reporter: hi, don. well, the message is simply that the greek people are fed up with the austerity, the two years of stringent cuts they've had to sustain and they say they can't

take any more, which is what the parliament is debating on right now, switching cuts to the public sector which is something that the eu, imf, very much demand needs to be done. question is, how much can you push a people until they reach a breaking point. how austere can those cuts be before you see a society starting to come apart at the seams. and the greek people say, you know, we can't pay our bills anymore. you see things like the suicide rate going up dramatically. you see things like garbage piling up on the streets because municipal workers won't take it in. you see citizens, arbitrary citizens in government buildings. today, of course, we saw a huge wave of violence on the streets as people came out for a first day of two days of general strikes. so you do really have a sense that this is a society who is saying, we cannot take this anymore. we're looking to our parliament to do something. we're looking at europe to help us out of this crisis.

>> what happens if the measure passes? >> reporter: the measure basically involves big cuts to the public sector, 30,000 job cuts. a change to the constitution whereby it will now become possible to hire and fire civil servants. up until now it was constitutional guarded that you had a job if you were a public servant. three times as it was in the 1970s, when this socialist government came into power. they're largely to blame for a civil service that has sort of expanded and expanded. people settled into jobs with big pensions. that is really the focus of today and tomorrow's votes. that public sector, and how to cut it down. >> thank you very much from athens. another story we're following. french media report the very pregnant first lady of france has been admitted to a maternity

clinic in paris. she is due to give birth soon. some media reports say she'll deliver later today, but the clinic and presidential palace, they aren't saying anything. cameras did catch president nicholas sarkozy boarding a plane for germany on the euro zone debt crisis that diana has been talking about. if we get word of a mini sarkozy, we'll let you know. surviving five years after colon cancer, herman cain. how he beat the odds. on this day in 1987, stock markets crashed around the world. it's known as black monday. the dow jones industrial average fell more than 22%, the largest one-day drop in history. that's a shame in history.y n l, but with advair, i'm breathing better so now i can take the lead on a science adventure.

welcome back, everyone. you may or may not like his politics, you may or may not like his chances to capture the white house, but herman cain has faced long odds before, and he's prevailed. the gop businessman and presidential hopeful just passed the five-year mark since treatment for advanced colon cancer. and we get the details in-depth from chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta. >> reporter: don, a lot of people told me about the history of colon cancer with herman cain. what we know is back in 2006, he was having lower abdominal discomfort. he saw his doctor and subsequently got diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer, cancer that was in his colon, that had already spread to his liver. we know he had four cycles of chemotherapy, then he had surgery, and then six more

cycles of chemotherapy. that's aes important because they were able to resect the cancer from his colon and liver. that changes the odds in his favor, don. survival rates without any treatment at all in the single digits. if you can surgically resect this and get resect this and get chemotherapy, the chances really go up. >> i got my five-year checkup from my oncologist, cat scan, x-rays, the tests that they are going to do if you are a cancer patient. and i got a clean bill of health. five years after having a 30% survival rate. that's an ah-hah moment. >> they don't see any evidence of cancer in his body. that doesn't necessarily mean that he is cured.

but cancer-free. now, the recommendation is around age 50 people start the screening process earlier if you have a family history or have some sort of high risk. but 100,000 cases of colon rates every year. the five-year mark is very. take a look at this. a customer shopping at a grocery store caught off guard by a surprise in the produce section. oh, yeah, that's right there. but, first, remember balloon boy? his dad, richard heane?

section. among the broccoli and the apples was a black bear cub. take a look. its believed the cub was orphaned and just scared. they say it was just trying to hide behind the vegetables. probably a little hungry, too, i would imagine. luckily a customer was able to capture the bear and send it out of the store's back door and out into the woods. cute. plans for a high-speed train is not exactly going along. the california high speed rail authority says investors may not pay up after the train begins operating. there are serious questions about how the $43 billion project will be paid. they will file the business plan

next month which the legislature has to approve in the next 60 days. an attempted murderer was accidently freed from jail. he was accused of stabbing his ex-girlfriend with a 14-inch butcher knife but davis walked out of the miami-dade county jail the next day. luckily someone noticed and he was rearrested by police on tuesday. the corrections department is doing an internal investigation to figure out why they made this particular mistake. new disturbing details out of philadelphia in a story that we've been bringing to you. four people held captive in a broiler room. police have arrested another person and have located ten more victims and six of them are children.

sarah, what can you tell us about these victims? six children, really? >> yes, don. they range in age from 2 to 19. with the 19-year-old being identified as beatrice weston, who is the daughter of linda weston who is a suspect in the case. they do think that they are related somehow to the suspects in this case. so they are combing through that information trying to figure out exactly who they are and where they are supposed to be. >> you mentioned this linda weston, right? and you said her niece -- she's believed to be the ring leader here, the mastermind? >> that's right. she was the ring leader and brought in on saturday in relation to the four people being held captive in the basement. >> i misspoke. is it her niece or her daughter who is the fourth suspect?

>> the fourth suspect today was her daughter. >> her daughter. okay. >> and her daughter, jean macintosh, a 42-year-old, lived in the apartment building. she was a tenant in that building where the four people were kept in the subbasement. >> and, also, this linda weston is believed to be the ring leader and has a criminal record. can you give us a little more about that? sarah? >> that's right. in the '80s she was charged with a crime in which her sister's boyfriend died of apparently starved to death. she was kept in a closet. she served eight years back in the '80s. >> eight years back in the '80s. thank you for that. we've been covering this week d weekend. again, more people arrested today. sarah hoye is following that for

us. meanwhile, here in the cnn studios, you may recognize her, you know her, you love her, brooke baldwin takes over from here. >> don lemon, nice to see you. now it's my turn. i'm brooke baldwin. let's get you caught up on some of the stories making news this hour. first up in rapid fire, we're going to begin with the exotic animal story here in ohio. every animal has been caught except for two. frantic hunt under way because they were set free, people having to stay inside as ohio law enforcement was hunting down lions, tigers, bears, wolves, grizzly bears. the man who owned the farm let

the animals loose before he killed himself. also coming up, we have wildlife animal expert, jack hanna, live on the show today to tell us about some of the exotic pet regulations, how the laws perhaps should be stricter. the fbi and homeland security have been called in to cover this bizarre courthouse break-in. this is in san antonio. five people have been arrested and three of them were caught in the courthouse in the middle of the night. two were in a recreational vehicle outside. the sheriff's office in san antonio says that these men were playing with the judges' gavels and robes and were just walking along the halls. a live report coming up in the next hour. take a look at this. this was the scene in athens today as protesters and police scuffled in front of greece's

parliament. much of this country was shut down due to this. lawmakers will vote on the austerity measures in just a moment. also, just in from california, actress lindsay lohan has been removed from court in happened cuffs. the judge just revoked her probation. if bail is set at $100,000. if she bails out, she has to serve hours at the county morgue in los angeles. this was a home. clearly storm damage here. this is plantation, florida. it's not been confirmed yet but it may have been damaged by a tornado. 30 homes were destroyed. as you look at these stunning aerial pictures, amazing, only a couple minor injuries were reported there. if you need anything from the apple store right at this moment, you have to wait for at

least another 28 minutes. because all apple stores shut their doors just about an hour ago, in memory of steve jobs, apple co-founder. he died last week due to pancreatic cancer. here's a tidbit from the french media. they are now reporting that carla bruni-sarkozy has been admitted to the hospital and is about to give birth. we're showing these images -- there is her husband. of course, he's the president of france. he left the clinic earlier today. he's on his way to germany for a meeting with merkel. >> and now let's look at this plane together here. it was supposed to be a pleasure flight over williamsberg.

the plane lost power. the plane said he tried top land it in a field and ended upbringing it down in a parking lot. not a nice landing. no one was hurt there. and i want you to look really, really close. you can see the black blob sort of crawling towards us. that is a very young and apparently hungry black bear. somehow he got into this grocery store. this is ketchikan, alaska. al customer grabbed the little guy and tossed him out the store's back door. there he goes. i don't want to leave the carrots. but you've got to go. now this, a surprise visit to afghanistan. one day after visiting libya, hillary clinton has just arrived

in kabul. traveling with secretary of state clinton is jill dougherty. who is she going to meet with? >> tomorrow she will be meeting with president karzai and then they will broaden it out with some of flatheir officials. this is a complex relationship and this relationship between the united states and also it's being referred to as a civil society, nongovernmental organizations, women's groups and things like that. and she will be holding a meeting with them. by the way, brooke, she does that in almost every city that she goes to. and another event will be

meeting with mine north. one of the big issues here really is reconciliation and how you bring some type of political resolution to the conflict because it's not going to be one just with guns, as they say. so that's really a major focus here as well. >> jill dougherty, thank you very much. you have a little less than two hours with me. take a look at what we've got for you. lions, tigers, wolves, they have all been on the loose in ohio. i'm brooke baldwin. the news is now. >> new developments in the john wayne gracie serial case. the judge asked for help and he got it in a big way.

jobs, taxes, apples, oranges, it even got personal at the republican debate last night in vegas. >> anderson -- you say you -- would you please wait? >> i'm going to bring a sense of humor to the white house because america's too uptight. >> the cake is big. barack obama will be a one-term president. >> but how much truth was actually thrown out there? we're going to fact check the hot topics. also, america's retirees getting a raise. social security's first increase in three years? find out why it took so long. plus, another death from tainted cantaloupes and the cdc is now telling us the root cause of this listeria outbreak. nood- every-night budget. she thought allstate car insurance was out of her reach. until she heard about the value plan. shop less. get more.

near zansville, ohio, they are down to a wolf and a monkey. a wolf and a monkey are still on the loose and what a crazy past 18 hours. we have finally gotten pictures of the very dangerous animals set free from this private zoo. dozens of wild animals. this, here is a grizzly bear and wolves on the loose, as many as 51 wild animals. so you had law enforcement officers trying to hunt them down in full darkness, in many cases, shoot them dead. a harrowing night. let's listen to the sheriff. >> we had animals outside the fenced area of the road that were trying to get loose. i had deputies having to shoot

them at close range. that's how powerful this situation was. we are not talking about your normal dogs and cats. these are 300 pound tigers that we had to put down. >> that was a sheriff that is going to be on the phone to brief us. let me tell you how this happened. it's crazy as well. this is a man who owned all of these animals. terry thompson, age 62. authorities say when they arrived at thompson's property last night, he was dead. animals out of their cages. they believe terry set the animals free and then took his own life. that is still developing as well. but i want to turn to the sheriff who is on the phone with me. until ohio, sheriff, you told us a short while ago and that there

are only two left and the rest have been caught? >> yes, we believe so. we had compiled a list of the animals basically off of the farm, that number was approximately 48 to 52 from the start of this incident, and from what we have recovered, the inventory that we have done, we feel that we're down to those two animals. >> so this part of the county, are we dealing with wooded landscape? describe it to me. >> it's about 680 square miles and we had the city of zanesville that has probably about 25 to 30,000 population. in the southeast corner of the

state, it's very well known for dear hunting. we have some of the biggest deer in the state of ohio. that tells you that this area is very wooded, it's very mountainous, and it's an area that they could contribe in. >> you said that some of your deputies had to pull out their side arms and kill these animals at close range. did you not have tranquilizers? >> no, we do not carry tranquilizers in our cars. it's extensive training and to be able to maintain the medicine that goes into those darts is very hard to do. moefrt of the time you have to get veterinarians that do this type of thing and we do not and never carry any kind of tranquilizers. >> 48 to 52 animals, that were terry thompsons, can you confirm, was this man recently out of prison? can you tell me why he may want

to let these animals go snl. >> the only thing i know, speculation on my part, he got out of prison three weeks ago. he did a stint in the federal prison system for a federal firearms violation. he does have, i think, local jail time from us. we're checking on this right now, an animal complaint that went through the county court. we are very familiar with mr. thompson. i've got almost 23 years in law enforcement. i've known him pretty much for my entire career and we've to be clear, we believe mr. thompson cut the fences and opened the gates and let these animals out. and so that being said, this was a senseless killing of all of these animals. but to have these kinds of

animals in the environment that they were in, to me was not a safe environment and not the best environment for the animals. and we have always known that this could happen. i felt as lax as terry was in dealing with these animals and trusting as he was, we would find him deceased at some point from an animal attacking him. but in this situation, from our preliminary investigation, we feel that he has the animals out before he took his own life. >> sheriff, thank you so much i have so many questions given the point that you just gave. animal expert jack hanna is going to be with us in the next hour. there is a whole lot of activity happening at the home of missing baby lisa. police are now executing a search warrant. we're going to have more on that story with jim standing by. or we'll go. okay. we're live at the home coming up next. and, then, talk about a

gloves off night in vegas. did you see it? i'm sure you did. more after this break.

now that a promising lead in the search for a missing baby in missouri has turned into a false alarm, police, fbi agents now honing in again on the family home where little lisa irwin was last seen asleep in her crib. investigators have a search warrant to go over every single inch of that home and bars the family from coming inside until they are finished and to make sure that they don't, there's a patrol car parked outside. all of this comes after the mother, deborah bradley, reports that she was drunk the night

that her baby disappeared. jim spellman is covering this for us in kansas city. first, tell us what you are seeing, any activity around the house, police, fbi? >> reporter: absolutely. take a look at this. this has been going on since early this morning. last night they got the search warrant. and part of that was barring the parents from reentering the home. there's about a dozen csi people in white suits. they call them moon suits. that's to keep them from contaminating the scene. they are in there along with a dozen fbi and police officers. this is almost a bomb squad. that's not because they found explosives but there are some sort of tools in there that can help them in the investigation. in the back of the house, there is a team digging with shovels in an area behind a large shed

area. brooke, a lot of activity going on here today. we've seen police come and go with consensual searches but nothing like this, like this kind of unit in here. they've had ladders going in and out, they've been on top of the house, going over the scene with a fine-tooth comb, brooke. >> okay. jim spellman, thank you very much for the latest there in kansas city. keep us posted if anything at all happens with regard to that search. i know there have been questions over the parents and their cooperation with the police. talk about a slug fest. live last night from las vegas, things got angry, things got loud, things at times got very personal. right in the middle, time and time again, mitt romney. let's watch this thing together. >> you're shaking your head.

>> they took it out of there. >> they took it out of your book? >> the idea that you stand here before us and talk about being strong on immigration is beyond the hype of hypocrisy. >> let me speak. >> rick, you've had your chance. let me speak. >> rick, you've had your chance and you knew that -- let me finish what i had to say. >> there are personal things that were brought up, including

talking about immigration, talking about other things. i think we have another sound bite. let's roll it. >> housewives in new jersey, world federated wres sellitling. it was a great show for anderson cooper and cnn but not for the republican party. >> it's getting worse. it's polarizing the country. >> that was a little surprise for me tonight. >> it's a little uncomfortable, the perry-romney exchange. but they seem to have a thing for each other. >> as you probably noted, a lot of the back and forth had a lot to do with immigration. bringing up something that has been brought up before. and we want to fact check this. let's go to cnn's tom foreman. >> the basic claim of perry against romney is that romney hired illegal immigrants. but is that true? back in 2006, this is something

that came up that hired mitt romney during the previous elections. so he knew how to answer to it. yes, a company that worked on his lawn had illegal workers from guatemala working for him. mitt romney said he knew nothing about those people until discovered by "the boston globe," then approached the company and gave the company a chance to hire legal workers. found out it happened again and then dismissed the company after the same problem was found. so in a simple matter, if you add this all up, both rick perry and mitt romney were misleading. rick perry suggesting that the governor was knowingly going out and hiring illegal workers, and there doesn't seem to be any appearance of that and the governor suggesting that he didn't know anything that was going on at all when in fact he's already admitted that he did. >> tom foreman, thank you very. . now, watch this -- >> it was dark and the smell --

the smell of urine and other human waste was so pungent, it burned my nostrils. >> that is our own sarah hoy talking about what it was like inside the tiny basement broiler room. she's going to join us live as new details are emerging in that particular investigation. also, as we promised, animal expert jack hanna is going to be here. he drove all night to arrive in that small ohio community to help law enforcement capture these wild animals, 48 to 552, let loose by their owner. could stricter laws prevent this from happening. we're about an hour away from the close of this trading day. down 41 points. dow is at 11,499. we'll be right back. ♪

. another arrest claims a pregnancy and new victims today. and this time we're learning that there were children involved. this is the so-called dungeon of horror case. police have arrested this woman. this is 32-year-old jean macintosh. she's the daughter of one of the original suspects. macintosh who is accused of being the co-conspirator of the four initial victims found in that basement. and one of the victims, tamara, said that she gave birth to two children while in captivity. police are not saying how she got pregnant. breeden and those three men were found in this fill tea broiler room, with no food, only a bucket for a toilet. one of them was found tied to

the broiler. and now ten more victims. six of them were children. the 19-year-old niece was also one of the suspects. sarah has been covering this for us. she's live in philadelphia. sarah, i was just talking to a philadelphia police lieutenant on the show and he predicted, and his words were, i can pretty much guarantee that there will be more victims. what do you know about this today. >> reporter: that's right. he did say that yesterday to you and they did find the additional ten people. they range in age from 2 to 19. the 19-year-old, as you just mentioned, weston's niece, apparently, was in pretty bad condition. she looked like she had been abused in some sort of way, mentally, physically, they are still working that out. and the young ones, who might be one of the victim's kids, they are now doing dna testing on all

of those four captives to see who potentially the parents are. >> wow. and as we look at the images of the graphite, small, felt three room, i understand that you, sarah hoye, went into this room. i imagine it stunk? >> yes, it did. brooke, i did have the opportunity to go in that basement. i even had them turn off the lights and close the door so i could feel what it was like to be like them in that room. it was pitch black and that smell, you are exactly right. >> the ammonia from the urine as well as the human waste just penetrated the entire room. it actually singed my nostrils. i was only in there for a couple of minutes. imagine being in there for days and weeks. >> have the police given you any indication that the children might have also been held in

all right. back to that crazy story out of the ohio. dozens of animals set free overnight from zanesville, ohio. this is a video that we just got in from one of these animals. so they were roaming around all night long, lions, tigers, wolves, deadly wild animals. local law enforcement having to hunt these animals down in the thick of the night. last night the sheriff said that they were down to the wolf and monkey. now take a look at this. this is the man who owned the 48 to 52 animals. this was terry thompson, age 62. authorities said when they arrived at thompson's property last night, he was dead. his animal cages were empty. they believe terry thompson set these animals free and then took his own life.

i want to go to wildlife expert jack hanna. he was called to columbus. joining me on the phone is jack hanna from zanesville. i understand you drove through the night to help with the situation. when you first heard about this, what was your first instinct? >> well, i get t17 voice mails n my phone and thought what is the world is happening here? i heard the story and couldn't believe what was happening. i got here at 5:00 in the morning and then of course the reality started setting in, what happened here with 30 something animals obviously losing their lives. that's a tragedy. but the first and foremost thing is that no person lost their life. that's what came out of this whole thing is. right now i am working on a law to stop people like this that have animals like this in

improper settings to stop that from happening. >> jack, i know you've been going solid for a number of hours here. if you can, just back up. how exactly have you been assisting with these animals? how have you been helping sheriff lutz? >> well, our veterinarians were here all day and all last night. today we took three or four leopards, a monkey and grizzly up to the columbus zoo where they will house them until we know what is going on. and then we tried to tranquilize a tiger this afternoon and the tiger started coming after the folks so they had to put him down. you can't tranquilize in the ka dark. you can't. when animals were approaching the officers -- about 5:30 last night, animals, tigers, lions, bears, like noah's arc busted

open. and we had carnage out here. >> like noah's arc just burst open, you said. sheriff lutz said you have to be trained to use tranquilizers. they didn't have that. can you tell me in terms of the total amount of animals saved versus killed, how many have been tranquilized and saved? >> probably total 11. i don't have the total count because they are transferring the animals to the zoo but i know there are at least 7 to 8 and i'm sure there will be more before it's all over. i hope we can find the wolf and the monkey and get them up there, too. they found a mountain lion in someone's yard that was shot last night and then a grizzly last night. so that leaves the two that are missing, tham could have caused problems, obviously. >> if you can, jack, can you

help us understand what a man in ohio was doing with dozens of grizzly bears, wolves, you know, et cetera. i imagine you have to have some kind of permit? or does he get these from animal auctions? how does this thing happen? >> well, right now that's what the bill is going to say. they were shut down hopefully in the next few months. they don't have them right now. they have them certain times of the year. but that's going to be passing in this state. that's like a drug source. where do you get the drugs from, they shut that down, same thing with animals. his wife left him, i understand, and came back to see her children, which she described as her animals, she started shaking, please don't take my family. i told her i'm trying to help her right now. these animals are in substandard conditions and if she comes back and tries to rearrange her life,

that's fine. but we don't need something like this to happen again. so how did he get them? some people elect to be around animals. but you can't do that with lions and tigers and this type of thing. that's why it has to be stopped legally here in the state of ohio. >> sheriff lutz said he was familiar with the owner of these animals and that it was an accident waiting to happen. jack hanna, thank you. again, still mizing, a monkey and a wolf. i want to take you live to a president obama in chesterfield. >> you've got cities like new jersey thatville had to lay off big chunks of their forces. that doesn't always mean that

firefighters can get to the scene before they become major fires. that makes their jobs more dangerous. that means police officers cannot respond to every crime. and when giving our children the best education possible, we know the ingredient for success in this new information and technology-rich economy, how can we be laying off countries when other countries are hiring teachers in droves? it's unfair to our kids and undermines our future. so this week congress is going to vote on whether or not hundreds of police officers and firefighters and teachers get back on the job. and i don't know if these members -- maybe they haven't met some of these firefighters. i don't think they want to tell them that their jobs aren't worth saving. some of these guys are pretty big. captain kemp is an ex marine, which means he's still a marine. and these guys are risking their lives every day on our behalf. these jobs are worth fighting

for. folks in congress are also going to get to today later, in a month, whether our construction workers should sit around doing nothing while china builds the best schools, best roads, the best airports in the world. we used to have the best stuff. think about, the world says, let's travel to america. let's see the golden gate bridge. let's see these amazing things that america built are we going to be the generation where we stop building? where we've got run-down roads and bridges that are obsolete? that's not who america is. congress will have a chance to see if they want to put americans back to work to do the work that america needs done. they say that, you know, they value our veterans. when i went before the joint congress to prevent this american's job act, i said,

let's give tax breaks to the companies that are hiring our veterans. and we just got 25,000 -- a pledge of $25,000 from countries a for veterans being hired by the end of 2013. so when i talked about this part of the plan before the joint session of congress, democrats and republicans alike, if you all stood and applauded, how are you going to vote? it's not enough to applaud and go to a veterans day parade. people need help. and you've got a chance to help them right now. these are the choices that congress will be presented with in the next few weeks. and if they vote against these proposals, if they say no to stepses that we know will put people back to work right now, they are not going to have to answer to me. they are going to have to answer

to you. they are going to have to come down here and tell folks in virginia and all across the country why people are going to have to cope with fewer first responders. you're going to have to look construction workers in the eye and tell them why they are sitting idle instead of building infrastructure that we know needs to be rebuilt and they are going to have to explain why we can't afford to do it when we know that we can pay for all of this, plus keep taxes on middle class families low, prevent them from going up, and all we have to do in order to pay for it is make sure that people like me are paying our fair share of taxes. and the companies no longer are getting special tax loopholes that's it. so when you hear, we don't want to have higher taxes.

if we don't pass this bill, taxes for the average family will go up. because the payroll tax in december will lapse. if we pass this bill, for 97, 98% of americans, your taxes will stay low. my taxes will go up, but i can afford it. a fair shot for everybody, a fair shot from everybody. that's a principle that built america. that's how we created the middle class. now, they can do the right thing in congress and reopen firehouses, but i'm going to need your help. that's the reason i'm here. it's wonderful to have a chance to see everybody and take pictures. i want you to send a message to congress that this is important. let them know or get on the

phone, right a letter, fax, tweet, whatever it is that makes people do these days and remind members of congress what is at stake here. it takes a special kind of bravery to be a firefighter. when that bell rings, it takes a special kind of courage to answer the call and rush at great risk to yourself to help your fellow citizens. and you know what? that's the same kind of spirit that i believe embodies america. looking out for one another, helping each other, being able to make sacrifices for the greater good. when someone is hurting, we don't cross our arms and do nothing. we roll-up our sleeves and say we're going to help. we'll help figure out how to solve this problem. we are not people that sit buy and ignore our challenges. we meet our challenges. and that's the opportunity that

we have right now. we hope you're willing to contact your members of congress. tell them to get busy. tell them to get to work and put people back to work and let's show america why the united states is the greatest country on earth. thank you. and god bless you. >> president obama wants his jobs bill passed. $447 billion. he is standing there. that is station number 9 in north chester, virginia. he was telling that proposal to prevent funding for layoffs for firefighters, police, and teachers of this country. and now, let's move on. this -- >> you don't have to have a big analysis to figure this thing out. >> well, now rick perry has released a statement explaining why he called herman cain brother more than once. we've got that for you, next. with overactive bladder, bus our pipes just don't work as well as they should.

at the gop debate, rick perry kept referring to fellow candidate herman cain as "brother." did you notice that while you were watching? let's play this sound and tell me what you think. >> i love you, brother, but you don't have to have a big analysis to figure this out. go to new hampshire where they don't have a sales tax. they are not interested in 9-9-9. what they are interested in is

flatter and fair. i'll bump plans with you, "brother," and you'll see who has the best ideas of how to get this country working again. right here in nevada you have 8 plus percent. you want 9 cents on top of that, and 9% on a new home, 9% on your social security, 9% more? i don't think so, herman. it's not going to fly. >> i counted two there. seriously, let me know. and here is what al perry spokesperson said. he is a friend lie fellow. he uses that kind of language. and he views all as fellow republicans and he speaks accordingly. >> mark, i made note of that comment and i'm sure you did as well. >> reporter: yes. and certainly it's not what the perry campaign wants to be

talking about right now. they want to talk about what they think was a strong performance for the texas governor. they are saying that he meant nothing by that and in fact he's not racist and what have you. it would be interesting to see what happens if herman cain thinks about that. >> what do you think about who did well and who didn't? i think it was gloves off certainly right from the start. >> reporter: it was. i don't actually know who won the debate last night. i was surprised at how strong rick santorum was of his criticism of fellow rivals there on stage. of course, rick santorum needed to do that. but the biggest was between rick perry and mitt romney. at one point mitt romney reached over and was touching rick perry. yeah. that is something that up don't often see.

there is that whole personal space. mitt romney left his hand there and that was an uncomfortable moment for me to watch there. i don't know who came out as the big winner but herman cain came under great criticism about the 9-9-9 plan and not just from perry but from everybody. >> and then you had newt gingrich come forward and say, look, we can't be bickering like this back and forth if one of us wants to become president? >> reporter: yes. and we've heard this over and over from newt gingrich. he tries to be the grownup on stage. but by doing that, he doesn't seem to be able to get the base energized. he's very low in the pack. i don't know how newt gingrich can break out of it. but what is also interesting about newt gingrich is he is very critical of the media, of us, when he sees fighting on stage. it will be interesting to see

what newt gingrich does in the coming weeks. if he wants to gain traction, he's going toville become more critical of himself. >> what about michele bachmann? how did she do in the debate and how long can she hang on? >> reporter: her top advisor felt that she did very well. i've got to tell you, right now with the exception of jon huntsman who we didn't see here last night -- he was boycotting the debate because of a dispute between new hampshire and nevada, i don't think anybody else is going to get out. there is no reason for them to get out. they are running shoe string budgets and getting national attention. don't expect them to get out until at least the iowa caucus. >> we've got a way to go. mark press son, thank you very much. if you collect social security, you're about to get a little more.

earlier this week, there was a list america's luckiest cities. the luckiest was the most lottery winners, most hole in ones and few west deaths from falling objects. san diego was listed as number one. we thought, let's flip the script. grab your rabbit's foot. bottom five, so to speak. unluckiest city in u.s., sioux falls, south dakota, number four, memphis tennessee. number three, jackson mississippi. i lived in number one. we'll be right back. meineke's personal pricing on brakes.

before the break, we were talking about the unluckiest cities in america. finishing the list, number two, tampa, florida. and the unluckiest city in america, charleston, west virginia. omaha, nebraska, home of five fortune 500 companies, but it's also home of the poorest african-american area and ranks eighth when it comes to african-american unemployment. thelma gutierrez spoke with a man who gave up his job to help his community prosper. >> reporter: omaha, nebraska, in the country's heartland. >> you've really got a lot of big-time companies here. >> reporter: he learned his mba here and launched a successful

career. >> this is the majority of where your african-american live. >> reporter: and then an area that he knows as well. >> this area here has been a sight site of lot of violence. >> reporter: he says it's deeply routed in the omaha when they were denied banking loans and higher paying jobs. the percentage of black children who live in poverty here ranks number one in the nation. >> you can be shocked and say, oh, my god, it's an awful place, or you can be shocked with feeling like we need to galvanize. >> what are you doing over here, young lady. >> reporter: that meant leaving a lucrative job to returning to his community as ceo of the boys and girls club, to make sure that kids like this have a place to play and study. >> what are some of the challenges that you ar
