the fbi raiding many groups in the midwest. many are calling this harassm t harassment. >> if you've got a medicine cabinet full of unused prescription drugs, they could pose a danger, so the dea says you can turn them in. they have sites all across the country. we'll tell you how. and after a minor glitch, the russian soyuz spacecraft is back. two rush are shans were also on that flight. well, there are new developments today in the deepening sex scandal at one of the largest churches in the u.s. bishop eddie long leads a congregation of 25,000 people outside of atlanta, but now four young men have filed separate lawsuits accusing him of c

coercing them into having sex. martin savidge is here with a look at this growing scandal, growing story. >> it is, indeed. it challenges a huge religious empire here in the southeast. this lawsuit was filed yesterday, late yesterday afternoon on behalf of 22-year-old spencer la grand. what's different is he did not attend the newburgh church here in atlanta but a conference in charlotte, nchlorth carolina. in 2005 they met. they struck up a relationship over the telephone but over the next several months the bishop invited him to go to africa with them. that's when the relationship began. it lasted several years. like the others there is this ongoing practice where they allege that the young men are given all sorts of gifts, they they're given trips and meet

celebrity celebrities. on and on and on. we have talked about why has he not come out and been more v vehement. his lawyers have come out. we went back and want you to hear the first statement that was made by bishop long after these lawsuits came to light, the first two lawsuits. this was read on a national broadcast radio program on wednesday morning and it's a statement attributed to bishop long. listen. >> let me be clear, the charges against me and new birth are false. i have devoted my life to helping others, and these false allegations hurt me deeply, but my faith is strong, and the truth will emerge. >> now, the other voice that we've heard in all of this is, of course, b.j. bernstein. she represents the young men. she's very media-savvy. she's very free to talk to the

media, and, in fact, here's one of her statements on tuesday after the initial suits were filed. >> and he travels all around the world on these fancy planes, but he is destroying lives, he is living a falsehood, and no matter what happens with this lawsuit, we hope that it has come to light. >> and, of course, you see here that there's been this sort of revelation over the week with more lawsuits coming until, of course, the most recent one filed yesterday before a statement by the pastor tomorrow. >> he was supposed to do a radio broadcast earlier this week. he said -- martin says his public silence for five, six days and the seriousness of the accusations require him to step down. >> you wrote an article this morning which i just got seconds ago, but briefing through it,

you say while i disagree with waiting five days since the allegations were revealed, if someone accused me of doing this and i know in my heart i didn't do it, i'd be screaming from the top of georgia's stone mountain. you seem to have been asking the same question i am. where is eddie long? >> well, first of all, i was the one that interviewed craig gillen on the show thursday. i was notified at midnight that night that bishop long was not going to be appearing. i said the exact same thing. i said when you have these types of serious charges and you hire an attorney, you listen to your attorney. we dealt with this issue. it airs tomorrow. we talked to a crisis management expert who said you might disagree from the media standpoint, but from a p.r. standpoint, an attorney standpoint, you have to make

sure that you're not making any possible statement publicly that could cut back and be used against you in any kind of legal situation. this is a civil case, but remember b.j. bernstein, the attorney for the plaintiffs, she has called in federal authorities saying that, you know, with him being over the longfellow academy, that something is amis there, and so you want to watch every single step. so, again, to each his own, but that's certainly the position that i know i certainly would take when you have these kind of serious charges. >> well, i mean that's obviously, as martin would say, the legal advice is to shut up, to let this play out in court, but i'm wondering, roland, from a man-of-the-cloth standpoint, from a higher-calling standpoint, is that really the path he should be taking? >> again, even though he is a man of the cloth, you're still dealing with the legal issues.

secondly, if you look at the fourth lawsuit, the fourth lawsuit -- actually the third lawsuit names several other individuals who work for the churches as well. if you also look at all of the different lawsuits, they raise -- it goes beyond sexual coerci coercion, they talk about responsibility, they talk about fraud. so the legal exposure from the church's standpoint stands beyond bishop eddie long. they're saying others were involved as well. he also is the one who is the leader of the church, and so he is not only looking at a personal responsibility, he has to think about what are the potential legal exposure, financial exposure for the entire church. and so, yes, man of cloth, but also ceo of the church, also personal responsibility. and so you have so many different layers here that you have to make the appropriate decision. and so certainly -- so, again, i

understand when you factor all of that in, the attorney's position might very well be, look, you don't say anything until you address your own congregation. we don't know what he's going to say. we don't know if he's going to deny it, if he's going to admit to it, if he's going to step down. and at the end of the day, although we have answers publicly, the people he has to most answer to is his congregation. >> you know, roland brings in a good point. these lawsuits, others knew about it, perhaps facilitated it, maybe you could bring in the world conspireded to hide it. >> absolutely. that's what you find in third suit and now the fourth suit that comes out. there are other names in the congregation that have been named, church leaders. okay, they were not part of the sexual contact but they were facilitators, as you say. they helped to provide the housing and the transportation, and above all, they helped to

channel the funding that made or allowed this to happen all the while aware that this was being done. >> all right. martin savidge covering this all week long. art franklin said yesterday the rumor that bishop long is stepping down is absolutely false. he is and will continue to be the senior pastor of the new birth missionary baptist church. we're going to have live coverage of bishop long's address to his congregation tomorrow morning, scheduled for 8:00 a.m. that's the services. you can see it right on cnn. martin savidge will be there, also getting insight as to what he might say. >> it's going to be a remarkable day. this is, of course, a man who they may or may not lose faith in, but their faith in god, of course, remains intact. and that's important. >> okay.

reynolds. >> good pictures this morning from our guys out there. we've been talking about dads, the changing face of fatherhood in america. josh is here to tell us about the daddy bloggers. when i first heard this, i thought, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi. more dads are at home looking for information and a lot have turned online. that's turned into this phenomena of dad blogs out there. they had their first summit in atlanta. i sat down and said what are dads looking for online. >> they're really looking for other dads who are going through the same things they are and looking for some support, looking for some funny stories and really wanting to share the magic that it is -- that is being a father. >> guys are responding the same

way women have responded. they look for articles on potty training, getting babies to sleep, how to name their baby. and they end up on relationship issues because there are a lot of things guys don't talk about after babies are born. there's articles about sex after pregnancies because relationships change with that first baby. >> you don't hear about that stuff a lot, do you. go ahead. >> this role is being completely reinvented and a lot of men are out there wanting to talk about it. you can't go to your dad because his former fatherhood is completely different from what we see today. so it's new media, new fatherhood, and that's what we talk about here. >> so on your blog this is a place where you find information about it where they're sharing their experiences because they need that with that sense of community and they know there are other guys going through the same thing. >> we're not the peter griffin or the homer simpson that we're often portrayed as.

we're involved in our family. we're working. we're trying to provide. or we're working at home in a lot of cases, and our role in the family is being real men. >> and what real men means, right? i mean that's part of it. what it means to be a real man now. guys can get together and have poker night and talk. guys can call each other. what is it specifically about being online that is offering dads something? what do they want from the web? we're not out going to the pta meetings. we're not meeting other guys in the neighborhood as often as we should, you know. the nights of poker night are not that easy and they don't happen as much. and it's one-quarter of the guys. with the web, you get to talk to guys all around the worlgd that you may never meet in person and you can share these ideas and have this conversation. >> when are they getting on blogs because my day is so busy. if you have a job and you get home and have your kids, are they staying up late at 2:00 new mexico the morning because they

couldn't have sex? when are they getting online? >> we're finding they're saying they're on the computer at work, but they also say there's a time of 30 minutes, 2 1/2 hours when they get home that they're actually going online. >> what are the biggest things that you think people in society don't understand about dads. >> dads are so active in their kids lives. i mean i work from home. i have for four years. i help the kids with their home work. i'm the one signing their work and going for it. i love it. i would have it no other way. and i think that's the biggest thing that people miss. you still see all the advertisements, all the literature, everythinging it's always with the mom's slant on it, and it is a sleight. >> not only are we competent, we're fathers. >> i like changing the diapers or getting milk at night because it's a very human thing whether

you're a man or a woman. it's a human thing. we want to promote that feeling to other men, to promote men being involved, also the larger society to see us that way. >> and this is becoming a business as well. a couple of the guys have given up their business. they talk about this new growing market of dads as well. we've been hearing from viewers all morning. here's kit who wrote on facebook who said more and more dads are in the picture. i'm one of them. because the new frontier is as dads change, dads can either pick up the roles or get behind. here's one from john. as a divorced dad, there's nothing ever said about good dads, only deadbeat guys. they want to be images on the internet of good dads. one more from lauri. let's hear it for the step dads, the ones who step up.

you guys are both dads. we've been talking about this this morning. you see the points they're making there, how much fatherhood has changed in the last 20, 30 years. >> one exception -- i spoke during the break with our director. one said he's happy to change diapers. no one is happy to change diapers. >> i know. >> you might be wanting to, you know, take part, but the idea of the diaper-changing thing, no. >> yeah. i'm not going to name the celebrity. he has five kids and he's never changed a diaper. i tell my wife that. dads should do it. they should all be equal but i never once truly will enjoyed that moment. did you -- it's been so long for you. >> no. we've flipped coins to see who does it. but -- >> you're done. >> yeah. >> good times. >> interesting. i had no clue that there's a whole community of daddy bloggers out there. >> that's why i was on the hookout. lookout.

new provisions in the new health care law. they took effect. now that the law is six months old, really a slew of those provisions are going into law as we speak but they could lose effect if republicans get into

congress. i would fight to repeal the bill. [ applause ] >> reporter: it's a gop battle cry for the midterm elections. >> the american people will be heard, and we'll repeal and replace. >> i have pledged as my first act of legislation to put in a repeal obama care law. >> reporter: if the republicans win a majority seat in congress, one of the first things they do is plan to reare peel obama's signature achievement, helt care reform. under a new gop controlled house, joe barton would likely become a key member. he said hearings would begin as soon as january to dismantle the law. >> if we're given the opportunity, we are going to try to repeal it and then -- >> right away. >> -- replace it. >> reporter: provisions that stop ensuinsurers that deny cove

to children with pre-existing conditions or dropping policies for people who get sick. big expansions of coverage don't come until 2014. still recent poll shows the law remains unpopular. even some democrats are running against it. health and human services secretary kathleen sebelius argues the law will come around. >> i think it's more confusing than unpopular. >> you would grant it's unpopular right now. >> well, when you say -- >> it's not as popular as you would like. >> that's accurate. i think it's based, though, a lot on people believing that the law contains elements that it doesn't have death panels. >> you're ready to have this debate all over again. >> i am, indeed. >> >> so is the president who points to parts of the bill that are popular. >> if young people don't have health insurance through their

employer, that they can stay on their parents' health insurance up to the age of 26. >> reporter: parts congressman barton wants to keep. >> are there portions of the law that should be kept? >> i think pre-existing conditions, the ability to keep your insurance and not have it revoked unless you committed fraud -- >> reporter: other republicans say scrap the whole thing. conservative activist alex cortez with defunded.org says the solution is to starve the law of money. >> i mean one of our only options of defunding is go after the smaller ones. >> continuing with health care reform won't be easy. any changes would be vetoed by the president and republicans have no chance of picking up enough seats in the midterm to override the health care veto. but republicans say because they don't have the votes doesn't mean they won't try. jim acosta, cnn, washington.

earlier this morning i spoke with two lawmakers on opposite sides of the health care bill. georgia republican congressman joe begin gri and democratic congresswoman allison schwartz who supports it. >> we have the power, we can defund. every one of these agencies involved in implementing this new law will need $5 billion to $10 billion in appropriations. we can stop that. we can certainly stop the irs from hiring the additional 15,000 inspectors to go over health insurance. >> insurance companies have been raising rates for families and employers 10%, 20%, 30%. this is what we're changing. this is what phil begin gri and republicans want to stop. they want to make sure the consumers don't have the pow

over the purse and that insurance companies are in complete control. they want to take away the rules. that's what phil's saying. he wants to repeal this bill. he hate this bill. it's not about the bill. it's about the protections that are available. >> well, if you believe in polls, there could be a new turn ahead for anyone that likes the new health care laws. if the republicans do regain a majority in congress, they have vowed to repeal the new changes. you can take a look at this. with a little more than a month to go with midterm elections. result of the new cnn opinion research poll shows republicans have a clear advantage with voters nationwide. when asked which party they favor, the gop, the republicans, came out on top by nine percentage points. four years ago it was the democrats who had the public favor, the new poll indicating more than 20% of likely voters have yet to make up their mind. well, systems are under the

microscope in a new documentary. we're going to look at some of the shocking claimings in this new film. a new documentary e

boldest critique. it follows five students. all hifrmgs on a lottery that saves them from schools that almost garuarantees failure.

let's take a look. >> i think about 60,000 people have gone to this school in four years, 40,000 didn't graduate. this is the damage this school has done to this neighborhood. >> a child that doesn't finish high school will earn less and be eight times more likely to go to prison. >> i want to go to school. >> for these kids the only chance of getting into a great school depends on whether their number is picked from the lottery. >> if francisco doesn't get in, is there another chance? >> no. >> your children and future generations are on the bridge of the titanic, and everybody's going to drown. >> someone has taken an interest in you, someone loves you, and they recognize the importance of education, and the first student selected, 20. [ applause ] >> 9. >> it takes a lot of outrage and a lot of good examples to say, yes, we can do this. >> when you see a great teacher, you are seeing a work of art. >> i want my kids to have better

than what i had. >> 18. 10. 12. 2. and the last a number -- >> our education contributor steve perry to talk about the reach and impact of this film. steve, thanks for joining us. troubling, honestly. for the first time in america, this generation will be less literal than the one before it. that's one of the claims in the film. is that true? >> it is. if you were to go to any second grade class or any kindergarten and you were to ask every single child who wants to go to college, no matter what color, what neighborhood, every hand would shoot up proudly. somewhere along the way the school systems fail our children, and as a result our country is failing.

>> you know, people who see this film, i imagine, are ready to rise up to do something. but it's a documentary. it's probably going to have limited release. do you think this should be mandatory viewing. >> i wouldn't say it would be maanndatory viewing, but in man ways it reminds me of the rodney king industry. we knew that type of outrage would happen if people had access to the information. this is the same thing. i'm not surprised by anything that i've heard or seen about the film. i'm not surprised in any way. the one thing that would surprise me is seeing more and more people that would get up and do something about it. >> you mention the criticism. the criticism is it leans against teachers' unions and toward charter schools where the teachers' unions have less impact. do you thinking it's unfairly targeting teachers' unions. >> not in the least.

in fact, until the teachers' unions give an international policy for what they've done to our children, until they stand up and take full responsibility for the circumstances that they and they alone have created in our schools, the tenuous relationships between administration and educators and parents, until they stop blaming the parents and the community and stop asking for more money, we can't blame them enough. >> you know, unfortunately we don't have any teachers' union representative here, so i've got play devil's advocate. it tess's the teachers who make up the teacher ss union. >> the catholic church is made up of priests. not everybody who does a job is necessarily good at their job. what has to happen is principals and administrators have to start taking full responsibility for what happens in our schools.

they have to work harder and harder to weed out the people who are not good hat their job. i was at syracuse university and i had an opportunity to talk to educators. i said every school on this campus seems to have a weed-out class, what's yours. they don't have it. anyone who wants to be a teacher can be a teacher, and that's unfortunate, we, those of us who create the educators and monitor them need to take responsibility. i as a principal need to take a responsibility for the circumstances that occur in my building. i'm saying that we appreciate the gifts that are being given to educators and communities, but until such time that there's a fundamental way to operating schools, putting children above everything else, we'll continue to see this. we can see in our time we can change the way children's lives occur. i see it every single day. i'm saying we know how to solve this problem, run more effective schools, get rid of bad teachers, get rid of bad

principals, and, as well, fire bad superintendents. >> steve perry, thanks for joining us. appreciate it. >> my pleasure. have you ever wondered what it was like to be in the middle of a hurricane? reynolds wolf will show it to you next. but first we want to tell you about "forbes" magazine's rich eest americans. oprah winnen friday is on the list. you decide what her next workts is. a, b, or c. $1.7 billion, $2.7 billion, or $3.7 billion. e. not anymore. america's healthcare reforms change lives for the better. to find out how it can help you, visit us at americasfairhealthcare.org logistics makes the world work better.
