what's in your wallet? [ cheers and applause ] i tell mike what i can spend. i do my best to make that work. we're driving safely. and sue saved money on brakes. now that's personal pricing. bottom of the hour now. welcome back, everyone. i'm randi kaye. thanks for starting your saturday with us. it is official. egypt has a new president. mohamed morsi was sworn in. senior international correspondent dan rivers is live in cairo this morning. dan, morsi promised to bring unity to the country. has he spoken?

>> reporter: absolutely, yet. he gave a short speech after he took the oath. taking place at the supreme constitutional court. normally, this would happen at parliament, but it's been dissolved by the military. it was a reminder things aren't as perfect as everyone hopes. a hugely historic and symbolic day. the first time egyptians have seen a democratically elected president in history. let's hear the flavor of message. >> translator: i swear the

republican system and respect the constitution and the law and to look after the interest of the people, complete safeguarding and to maintain -- >> reporter: that was him taking the oath of office. he went on to talk about representing the entire country, a better tomorrow for a new egypt. he talked about it being a second republic with complete freedom and true democracy safeguarding the independence and the legislature. hitting all the right notes of what the west and moderates fear the secular egypt wants to hear. he's about to speak at cairo university. i think we have live shots of the scene there as a whole cross section of egypt gathers to wait to hear him speak some more in the audience there. we have relatives of martyrs killed in the revolution. we have christians, we have

women, we have academics, intel l lektuals and so on. the party that might be concerned about his agenda. so far, he's gone out of his way to reassure them he is not going to turn this country into an islamic republic, that he will govern for all egyptians. >> dan rivers in cairo. thank you very much. secretary of state, hillary clinton, is in switzerland meeting with foreign powers to come up with a plan to end the bloody 16-month-old conflict. after a meeting with mrs. clinton on friday, they said both sides were moving closer together. another major ruling by the supreme court. this one throwing out mandatory sentences for minors. i'll talk with an expert about the decision and what it means to kids behind bars.

an update on a bullying story that we told you about last week. four middle school students caught on camera harassing their bus monitor have been suspended for a year and will have to complete 50 hours of community service. you remember the video, i'm sure. they enjoyed hurling insults and profanity at this grandmother of eight. i spoke with her at her home last week.

listen to some of the video posted on youtube. >> if i stabbed you in the stomach my knife would go through you like butter. >> incredible what they had to say to her. does the punishment fit the crime? do you think a year's suspension is right for them? tweet me and i'll read some of your comments later on on the air. >> most of the attention this week on the supreme court revolved around the health care decision and arizona immigration. there was another ruling that you need to know about. the justices ruled 5-4 that life without parole sentences are cruel and unusual punishment for juvenile offenders. that's anyone under the age of 18 regardless of the crime. those sentences did exist in 28 states. i spoke with the deputy director and asked her what she thought, was it the right move? >> i think it was absolutely the

right move. i think it's the fourth time in the last seven year that is the united states supreme court issued rulings recognizing that kids are different. their differences matter in terms of, in particular, sentencing in the constitution and how we treat them in the criminal justice system. >> how much do you think it had to do with research on the adolescent brain development? >> i think it has a lot to do with that research. it also has a lot to do with psychological research, behavioral that demonstrated over the last several years that kids are less culpable, they are more susceptible to peer pressure. >> how would you describe what's been going on? would you call it cruel and unusual punishment? >> i would call it cruel and

unusual punishment. we have a system in this country where we require the sentences be proportionate. it's a value that we have held to. when we impose the same kinds of punishments on juvenile that is we impose on adults, we violate that principle and violate the cruel and unusual punishments clause. >> this decision will lead to the resentencing hearing for over 2,000 convicts, some of them well into middle age. how is this going to work? are they guaranteed freedom? >> oh, absolutely not. you know, there are many individuals who are, in fact, well into their 50s, 60s, and 70s. we have an inmate in pennsylvania in his mid-70s. no one is guaranteed freedom. what they are guaranteed is the opportunity for review. the opportunity for parole. the opportunity to demonstrate they have matured and have been

rehabilitated and accepted responsibility for what they have done. that's all the court is requiring and all we are asking that juveniles be given a second chance. >> i'm curious what you have to say to the victim's families, the survivors. some have been convicted of chilling crimes. >> absolutely. i think that, you know, often my response is there's very little we can say. i don't think we can, if we haven't walked in their shoes, we can't appreciate the grief they have experienced. we cannot bring back family members they have lost. i think i would say to them, two things. number one, we live in a country of laws. our sentencing scheme, as well as any other laws in this country ultimately have to be consistent with the united states constitution. it's what the supreme court did hear. we need to honor that and we

need to recognize that. >> in terms of research, i'm curious, is there a link between youth and adult behavior? is there a way to know a 14-year-old criminal or violent offender may behave later in life as an adult? >> you know, it's very difficult to predict that. we know that 90% of juvenile offenders don't reoffend. i think the notion that we are creating or we have a generation of hard core criminals who, if we let them out will reoffend is wrong. i think what's behind the supreme court decision is this understanding it is difficult to predict future behavior. we don't want to make a decision on day one that forces kids to die in prison because we have made a wrong judgment about their future behavior. >> preernt your time this morning. >> thank you. dozens of people tripping on that same step.

now, the steps days are numbers.

have you ever happened to trip in the same spot over and over? well, it is not just you. there is one step in new york city that trips countless people every day. here is the story. >> reporter: it's hard not to stare when everyone is tripping on subway stairs or more precisely on one particular step. everybody loves to watch people trip, though? >> it's true. as long as it's not you. >> reporter: it was him. this is film maker dean

peterson's subway stop in brooklyn. he videoed all these other people tripping because he kept tripping on the one step that is slightly higher than others. >> i knew it was there. >> reporter: he put together a montage of trippers. 17 of them shot over a total of about an hour. there's a guy carrying a kid. >> i felt bad video taping some of the people. luckily, none of them got hurt. >> reporter: they got famous after he posted the montage. the next thing you know, the video was on a trip of its own around the world on the internet. let's laugh at people tripping on stairs was the headline out of australia. you know who wasn't laughing? the metropolitan transportation authority the day after the video went viral, repair guys were pacing the steps. at least this guy didn't trip.

neither did this one. >> almost bust my entire behind on that step. >> reporter: this can't mean what they mean when they say have a nice trip. [ bleep ]. >> he's the newest edition to the nba and already anthony davis is making a name for himself. not just for his moves on the court, it's his unibrow. up next, how he's getting the last laugh. coming up tomorrow on the next list, one man with a unique approach to keeping kids in school.

the nba's top draft pick is turning heads, not for his

multi-million dollar contract but his famous feature. the ink isn't dry on anthony davis $4 million deal but he's already inking a few phrases about that unibrow. yes, you can see it there. let's bring in blogger bill, good morning to you. >> how are you? >> i'm well. let's forget anthony davis is the top nba draft pick. he's made headlines about the unibrow and trademarking phrases fear the brow and raise the brow. >> fear the brow. i've heard that before. sounds like a homeland security profiling slogan so the agents can figure out how to randomly frisk at the airport. you know, i mean, go for it. i think it sounds ridiculous. he should be careful. a lot of people are not unibrow tolerant. i'm pretty sure the younger romney would have tackled him a long time ago and begin him a

nonconsensual threading. he's not the first one to be identified with a unibrow. frida rocked it early on. she was so associated with the look, her motto was be the brow. it was even better -- more positive than fear the brow. good luck to him. shrewd and ludicrous, brow savvy. >> might work on the court. >> wish him well. >> let's talk about something very bizarre happening in the big apple. one of america's favorite furry friends elmo, one of the elmos has been apparently terrorizing tourists in central park. is this true? look at this, we have the video. what is going on there? >> it was unbelievable. i saw it, too. anti-semitic elmo. my first thought is, hey, i hope

mel gibson has an alibi. he's the first suspect to come to mind. my second thought was two words, bath salts. that could explain why somebody would be so out of their mind. we're lucky he didn't eat some of those frightened children. >> what would you have said if that elmo came at you? >> well, i'm hoping it doesn't become a trend. i don't think i would want to see a spongebob having a michael richards incident in front of the apollo theatre. let's hope this is an isolated incident. >> let's hope so. from bad-mouthing elmo to a blockbuster breakup. i'm sure you've heard the gossip this morning. we're talking to the tom kat, tom cruise, katie holmes. after their wedding, seems it's too good to be true.

can you believe it? >> divorce shocker. who would have thought. this is the third time he's gone through stress. i hope john travolta can recommend a good masseuse to alleviate suffering. this makes a mockery of the sanctity of the couch. i think that's a good metaphor relationship of the couch. the jumping on the couch phase doesn't wear. eventually you wear out the springs completely and just got to face the facts. >> that was -- >> re-up holster and move on with your life. >> he was professing his love for katie holmes when he was dancing up and down, jumping up and down. apparently she wants custody of suri, too, or primary custody of suri as well. >> yes. no one is sure exactly what the grounds for divorce are. i understand that in scientology the expiration date for the marriage is built right into the contract. who knows? maybe she just wasn't happy with

scientology, maybe a religious conflict. maybe she didn't think it was kooky enough. maybe she's divorcing him to become a mormon, and even more madup religion. i don't know the details. >> i'm sure it will be an interesting celticsment no doubt, no matter which way it goes. bill santiago, are you in boston, that is where you are? >> i'm in boston talking about the most important thing in the news like tom cruise's very unexpected divorce. by the way, there's a lot of buzz on twitter about who he'll be paired up with next. you know, i hate to say it but again tomvolt, a is the winning guess. >> we're not going through. >> i didn't do it. i'm ripping it off my feed. >> we're going to say good-bye to you and have a wonderful saturday. >> see you next week. thank you so much. bye-bye. >> four middle school students caught harassing their bus monitor has been suspended for a
