out front tonight, breaking news, a ninth accuser comes forward in the penn state child rape case. his accusations against jerry sandusky. president obama delivering a speech. we break down that speech and the chances of a deal on the payroll tax. but first the bottom line on the man of the memento. newt gingrich. new polls out showing him surging. peter king comes out to tell us why he might not be the guy. let's go "outfront." i'm erin burnett. "outfront" tonight, newt on top. the former speak of the house dominating polls nationally and in crucial primary states. brand-new numbers out today,

let's show you this, this started a week ago and has gotten stronger and more consistent. nationwide, this is what you're looking at here, gingrich holding a 15-point advantage over his competitors as you see, 37-22 for mitt romney. in iowa, caucus goers there rival mitt romney at 17%. ron paul's at 16%. as we all know, mitt romney needs to come in 1 or 2 there. down in south carolina, gingrich 38%. versus 22 for mitt romney. despite the double digit leads gingrich still has a lot of critics inside his own party. one of them outspoken among them, congressman peter king. he came "outfront" a few moments ago and i asked him whether he's happy to see the polls. >> i'm really not. to give newt credit, republicans took back the house of representatives for the first time in 40 years because of newt. he's a very good revolutionary, he's able to mobilize forces, but as far as governing, as far as being a leader, he's too erratic, he's so self-centered.

the time that he was speaker, there was one crisis after another, and they were almost all self-inflicted. he puts himself at the center of everything. and it was impossible to stick to a game plan and bill clinton constantly outmaneuvered him. it was interesting. you have said, quote, i don't think he has the temperament, intellectual discipline or ego control to be either a successful nominee or president. that newt hasn't been on prominent display in recent months. >> no, partly because he hasn't been watched as carefully as he would be if they became the nominee or if he became president. but he has in the last several weeks compared his wife to jacqueline kennedy and laura bush and nancy reagan. and yesterday he was going into a rant about child labor laws and he does that without laying any foundation for it. he just makes these remarks and goes on defense. he's really incapable of laying out his reasons first, instead he makes his inflammatory statements, all these apocalyptic statements, the worst corruption in the history of the world, the most hypocritical thing in the history of mankind, all that

type of armageddon language, it wears people out after a while. >> you think it will happen? it's going to happen, right? buyer's remorse, if they pick him as the nominee? >> yeah, it has to happen. you done change when you're 68 years old. that is newt, the good and the bad. he's a tremendously inspirational person, as for as rallying the troops. but as far as governing, he doesn't have the discipline, does not have the capacity to control himself, and he can't stay focused. the country and the congress will be going through one crisis after another. and these would be self-inflicted crises. there's enough crisis in the world without inflicting crises on ourselves. or again, i keep saying putting himself at center. the reason the republicans lost the government shutdown debate with president clinton in 1995 is because newt gave the

impression it was all about him being made to get off of the back of air force one. that's the way he puts himself at the center of everything. >> he just said to abc, i'm going to be the next nominee. obvious le a lot of confidence. let me ask you this. i know that you don't think he's the right guy, but if it were him versus president obama, who would you vote for? >> i would vote for the nominee of the party. i would certainly vote for the nominee of the republican party. >> you just think your vote wouldn't matter? >> well, no. again, newt does represent certain republican principles and i would prefer him over president obama, but he would not be overall, nowhere near the best representative of our party. >> thank you very much representative king, thank you very much for coming "outfront" tonight. >> thank you. >> as we said, we really are seeing some strong divisions amongst republicans. you don't really have people coming out like that in their own party against someone who is surging in their own party. craig shipley is author of gingrich's authorized biography.

senior editor for the national review. he wrote a very critical column. two people very different views. but craig, since peter king came out and made the case for why he doesn't think newt is the guy and can handle it, why don't you take the other side? you're a supporter of him, correct? >> i'm more of just a writer and biographer for gingrich. i did fine it interesting that congressman king you, had one politician attacking another politician for being self-centered. i thought that was mildly amusing. the other thing that's interesting is that he's talking about things that happened 15, 20 years ago with gingrich. he has been on display, he's been everywhere. he's been all over the debates, i think everybody would agree that he's been remarkably disciplined. this is not new for the republican party. we are not witnessing, the republican party has always had a history of being bipolar. you had goal water versus rock feller. reagan versus bush. this is an extension of that story of the separation between the moderate wing and the

conservative wing and it's being played out once again. >> the headline of your article, heartbreak awaits republicans who love newt. and then some of the words that was pulled out by bloomberg through your piece, erratic, undisciplined, grandiose. okay. you done think he can do it? >> look, i don't believe that he's changed. i think in fact, all of those traits have been on display in recent weeks, in the last month, he has compared himself to ronald reagan and margaret thatcher. in the last year, he has flip-flopped three successive times about what to do about medicare. he took a vacation cruise right after the launch of his campaign. what this says to me is grandiose, self-absorbed, undisciplined. he has not changed. >> knowing all of that, and the voters presumably know all the things that were rattled off and

he's surging in the polls, so all of these complaints about the insides are don't mean a whit to the voters in iowa and new hampshire and south carolina and florida and everywhere. they want someone who's going to articulate their conservative vision and right now he's the one that's doing it. >> craig, you spend two years working on the biography, supposed to come in spring of next year. there you go. >> right. >> you traveled with him. you've seen e-mails. you've had phone calls. you spent a lot of time with this guy. is there a side to him that we don't know? it's no in all of the words that we hear, it's arrogant or egotistical that people who dislike him seem to use? >> he's remarkably frank about his mistakes. i asked him about the 104th and the 105th congress, he said i lost control of my conference, that's all there it is to it. he has not pulled back in any of the interviews we have engaged in. he hasn't held back anything. it's been almost all about policy, it's a political biography, not a personal biography. but he's been remarkably candid

and frank about all of these aspects and pointing out his mistakes in the past. >> final word to you. i want to ask 16% of voters say that -- he's been married three times, he's admitted to extramarital affairs. is that 16% unusually high or low? what do we read into that? >> i think it means that republican voters are holding this against him, they're not saying it rules out voting for him it doesn't rule out making him the nominee or president, assuming that's the whole story that we know the whole story. >> thanks very much, craig, appreciate it. it's going to be an interesting one. interesting to see people with their flaws and how they rise above them. ahead on "outfront," we have breaking news on the penn state child rape case, a ninth accuser coming forward today. we go there for that. and the u.s. loses an incredibly

have you been taking fewer trips to the olive garden lately? it's starting to show, and not just on your waistline. today the company that owns the olive garden, darden restaurants, cut the outlook for all of next year. there were a couple of reasons and one of them was actually good for those of you who eat there, they haven't raised prices which is obviously not so good for the company especially as commodity costs, cheese and pasta rose. those costs might be improving. larry miller of rbc told "out front" that commodity prices should be easing. could be good for us all in a lot of ways. but the second problem for darden brings us to our number tonight, 5.7. that's the percent by which olive garden sales fell in the month of november. that's not very good. it means low prices didn't lure customers in. sales actually rose at red lobster and longhorn steakhouse. those are two other brands. maybe people wanted red meat, pasta, carbs, who knows?

bottom line it wasn't good enough for investors. stock fell 12% in today's trading. a little challenging for the economy. we're learning more details about that u.s. drone that crashed in iran that we were talking last night from abu dhabi. the iranians had claimed that they shot it down. we knew that it was an rq-170 sent nell, one of most sophisticated drones. it was on a mission we can now tell you for the cia at the time it disappeared. here's cnn pentagon correspondent barbara starr with more details. >> reporter: the u.s. stealth drone that crashed in iran last week, after the u.s. lost control of it, was part of a cia reconnaissance mission. two officials have told cnn the officials are also for the first time confirming that it was an rq-170, the stealth drone that is so important to the cia. this drone has special coding technology that makes it less visible to radars, to enemy radars.

that's one of the keys to it. it also has sensors that allow it to see into enemy territory to gather intelligence information for possible targeting. that means u.s. officials are not saying a key fact here, was it flying over iran when it lost control? was it flying over the afghan-iran border or inside afghanistan and it drifted into iran? no one will say if it was over iranian air space. we also know that when the drone went down, the u.s. did consider some type of mission to either recover the wreckage or bomb it to keep it out of the hands of the iranians, that's how important it was. but all of those options were discarded because it was inside iran. the question now of course is that if the iranians have their hands on the wreckage, which the u.s. believes they do, how much do they have? how much access do the iranians have in understanding this special stealth coding, the special intelligence that's on

this drone. that, now, the key question. erin? >> amazing because as barbara's saying what are they going to do with that technology? what do they really have? some said maybe they could share it with china, with russia. the technology becomes something a lot of people we don't want have. breaking news on the penn state sex abuse scandal. a 19-year-old man has come forward with former penn state football coach jerry sandusky assaulted him when he was 12. sandusky is charged with four counts of child sex abuse of eight young boys over a preliminary time span. joining us from the state college in pennsylvania is the news reporter who broke the story, sarah. let me just ask you, you broke this story today about the ninth accuser, what exactly is he saying sandusky did and why did he come forward right now? >> by my account, this is the fifth victim to come forward and make public accusations since jerry sandusky was charged november 4th. what he's saying is slightly

>> by my account, this is the fifth victim to come forward and make public accusations since jerry sandusky was charged november 4th. what he's saying is slightly different than what the other use accusers have said. he said he was a second mile camper staying at second mile facilities in 2004 when he was 12 years old. he was in a swimming pool with jerry sandusky and other kids, was then separated from the other children, take on a tour with jerry sandusky, taken into the football building and into an office in that football building where jerry sandusky gave him whiskey, started to talking to him about his life, and molested him before taking him back to the camp. >> the camp, was he from second mile? >> right. he was a second mile child, and that's consistent with all of the other accusations, all of the other accusers have also been second mile children.

the grand jurors put in their report that they believe jerry sandusky started that charity, the second mile to get access to kids. >> sarah. the story, given the alcohol involvement, too. let's bring in cnn legal corporate paul callan here, the fact that there was whisky involved, giving whiskey to a 12-year-old boy strikes me even more than just the fact itself. explain how this happens when another accuser comes forward. >> it's not uncommon at all in these child abuse cases. i think we're up to 13 claimed victims in this case. people get the courage to come forward. they have been harboring these thoughts about the fact that they were abused as children and suddenly it's in the press and they realize that people are taking them seriously. of course it also inspires copycat people to come forward who just want to make money. it's the job of the court system to sort out the real from the phony claims. >> what are we going to see next week at preliminary hearing

where sandusky will appear. >> this is very interesting because most states have eliminated this preliminary hearing business, you as a grand jury presentation and you go to trial. prosecutors like to keep their evidence secret, but in pennsylvania, we're going to have a hearing. the victims are going to come into court and many will testify and be subjected to cross-examination. >> and the grand jury only had eight. these additional ones aren't involved in the preliminary hearing? >> no, probably not. this will only involve charges penning against him. but we'll get a good look at how credible they may appear to be and the judge then has to make a decision. >> are we going to get to see them? or are their identities going to be protected. >> if they were children at the time, definitely protect their identities, but these are adults. >> now. >> some may be willing to waive their right to testify without being publicly identified. that's really up in the air. >> sandusky gave an interview to "the new york times" spent time with them, he called in to bob costas on nbc. what is the strategy on him giving interviews? >> i do not get this. a higher, criminal defense

attorney to protect you from being damaged by the press. this defense attorney is assisting the press in destroying his client. we have this thing the right to remain silent. it exists for a reason because generally when a defendant goes out and starts making public statements, he gets crucified at trial. big mistake, i think, by the defense attorney. >> thank you. >> nice being with you. >> next "outfront" we break down the president's speech day in kansas and the push for the payroll tax cut extension. and mitt romney picked up an endorsement from former vice president dan quayle. why we couldn't resist that one. ♪ when your chain of supply goes from here to shanghai, that's logistics. ♪ ♪ chips from here, boards from there track it all through the air, that's logistics. ♪ ♪ clearing customs like that hurry up no time flat that's logistics. ♪

and now a story we can't resist. so earlier today, mitt romney received an official endorsement from former vice president dan quayle. now, here's the thing. quayle has mostly stayed out of the limelight since his one term as vp and his failed presidential run in 2000. the media used to have a field day for capitalizing on his blunders for easy laughs and we will, too. in honor of his endorsement today, here's a look back on the political life of former vp dan quayle. >> in 1988, the question is whether we're going to go forward to tomorrow or we're going to go past to the back. and i can tell you -- we don't

want to go back to tomorrow, we want to move forward. i believe that i have made good judgments in the past and i believe i have made good judgments in the future. the future will be made tomorrow. bobby knight told me this, he says, there is nothing that a good defense cannot be a better offense. in other words a good offense wins. i was known as the chief graverobber of my state. it's in the pacific. part of the united states that is in island that is right here. >> and if you thought that we would forget his most notable episode. >> a one little bit on the end. potato, how is that spelled? you're right phonetically. there you go. >> we just couldn't resist. still "outfront" the "outfront"

we'll start the second half of our show with stories we care about. we do our own reporting and find

the "outfront" five. newt gingrich the former speaker of the house, double digit lead nationwide, he's 15 points ahead of his closest competitor, mitt romney. despite newt's rising popularity, some republicans not on board. congressman peter king came out earlier saying gingrich is not the right choice for the fom any calling him, quote erratic, self-centered and incapable of controlling himself. babbitt submitted his resignation to his boss, transportation secretary ray la hood, who said he learned of babbitt's arrest through a police department press release. babbitt was arrested saturday after police say he was driving on the wrong side of the road. number three, evangelist billy graham has been released from a north carolina hop following a six-day treatment for pneumonia. in a statement obtained by cnn, the 93-year-old's personal doctor said that we are gratified that he has had a good in a statement obtained by cnn, the 93-year-old's personal doctor said that we are gratified that he has had a good response to treatment. we're committed to good home care to continue his improvement.

graham has been treated successfully twice now for pneumonia in the past months. number four, facebook admitted to a flaw that allows members to private photos including private images on mark zuckerberg's page. oh! john avlon's here. a facebook spokesperson told "out front" upon discovering the bug, we immediately disabled the system and will only return functionality when we're sure the bug is fixed. facebook then gave the user the choice to select one's setting to private. we shall see. it's funny, when the boss has a privacy problem at facebook. it's been 123 days since the country lost our aaa ratings. standard and poor's busy. yesterday 15 euro zone countries went on credit watch negative. today the ratings agency warned that if those countries are downgraded it might cut the rating on the bailout fund. that's a big negative. what does the payroll tax cut mean to you?

we have been talking about the numbers, it could mean a lot more money comes out of your paycheck every week if it doesn't get extended. it has to be extent by january 1st, which means before that washington they like to take off christmas, all the way until new year's. president obama was in kansas today stressing the importance of the deal. >> if we don't do that, the 160 million americans, including most of the people here, will see their taxes go up by an average of $1,000 starting in january, and it would badly weaken our recovery. >> the average american can expect to lose somewhere between $700 to $2,300 if the cuts are not extended. it depends on how much you make. the more you make, obviously the more you pay on the payroll tax. the white house has even placed a countdown clock on its website to pressure congress.

the irony here is that rs and ds agree the tax cuts should be extended, if for no other reason than it's popular. the extent should cost between $120 billion and $110 been 3 democratic senator bob casey introduced a plan that called for a 1.9% surtax on what will the rs come up with now? because that clock is ticking. the senator from north dakota is here to break it down. appreciate your taking the time. the clock is ticking. i was jokingly saying people want to go home for the holidays. it's not really fair to say it will go to new year's. i hope it gets settled before that. what's the next thing put on the table by republicans? >> erin, good to be with you, the key is we want to extend the payroll tax holiday, we also want to make sure it's paid for because we're talking about dollars that go into social security, we need to make sure that we do all we can to make social security solvent and not increase the debt or the deficit. that's why republicans have put in regard a plan to pay for the tax holiday. we want to continue it but we

want to make sure it's paid for. that plan was voted down by the democrats. now the house is working on another package. you talked about some things that are in it. we're open to those idea and others but we want to touch all of the bases. >> so you're for a tax for millionaires? >> we shouldn't be raising taxes. the point is we believe in tax reform and closing loopholes and getting revenue from growth and we should have a comprehensive plan that includes savings and entitlement reform. that's how we get the economy going and that's the approach we're trying to take. >> so what other way is there to pay for it? because you have to say, i know you may disagree intellectual with now the democrats between do it but they agree we shun borrow the money. they're trying to tax someone to pay for it. what other ways are there to do it if you don't want to raise taxes and you couldn't pass the freeze on federal salaries? >> there are a number of ways and we have put forward the idea that we reduce the federal bureaucracy through attrition,

you don't replace some offense those positions, you don't increase pay. we have talked about for millionaires, making sure that we're not subsidizing their -- their medicare premiums or food stamps or unemployment. you have got ideas that were brought forward in the discussions between president obama, speaker boehner and the vice president as far as savings. so we have identified a lot of areas where we can reduce spending to pay for, you know, this tax holiday. >> how have you not been able, though, to do what the democrats have successfully done. they have identified a group of people, the wealthy, that americans are all right with having them pay more. right? they've got that intellectual thing working. your plan is asking the wealthiest in this country to give us some of what they have. you don't intellectually have that going for you at all. you keep being painted as the defenders of the wealthy. what's going wrong here from a pr perspective? >> that's a great point and

thank you for bringing it up we say nay bipartisan way, let's close these loopholes, let's make sure everybody payers that fair share, let's have a pro growth tax code that stimulates private investment and you get revenue from growth and that should be part of a comprehensive plan that includes savings and entitlement reform. we can do it. it has to be bipartisan, and we're going to continue to push for it. >> thank you very much. appreciate you taking the time. >> thanks, erin. >> there will be some kind of movement on that payroll tax extension in the next couple of weeks. the president's speech didn't focus on the tax cuts. he made a plea to middle class americans while taking shot at republicans. >> this is not just another political debate. this is the defining issue of our time. this is a make or break moment for the middle class. >> and then he took some shots

at republicans. >> i believe that this country succeeds when everyone gets a fair shot, when everyone does their fair share. when everyone plays by the same rules. >> all right, let's bring in democratic strategist jamaal simmons and john avalon. john, let me ask you this the democrats and the president have very successfully taken this issue of fairness, certain people are not carrying their share of the load. but then republicans come in and say that millionaires should have cuts in all these benefits. they get zero credit at all for pointing the finger at the wealthy. >> that should be the basis for a bipartisan agreement, that's giving a little bit. but right now we're heading into campaign season, that's the problem. this was a major speech today by the white house where they unveiled the terms of debate for 2012 as we see it. you heard the president say a lot about fairness. the most fascinating thing is

that he gave the speech where teddy roosevelt gave his speech in 1910. what you see here is president obama trying to wrap his political agenda in the legacy of tr, a progressive republican. a fascinating move. it was a fascinating speech. >> what did you make of the speech today? >> i thought the speech was very good at laying out the broad contours of how america has both -- we got to focus on the skill, better education, making sure that young people have the will to succeed, but people need the opportunity to succeed, people work hard, play by the rules, do what they're supposed to do they'll have greater opportunity. i think that's what the president was saying today. even before the recession started we were seeing that opportunity start to slip away and americans want to recapture that momentum to get the american dream. >> john, if you're a republican right now, they are for these millionaires taxes that democrats have proposed. what do you do if you're a republican? what can you come forward?

when you say this should be the basis for an agreement? >> that's the problem they've got. you hear the senator say earlier, maybe means testing for entitlement reform, but they have an ideological opposition to raising any taxes, even a surcharge on people making over $1 million a year. it's on philosophical grounds not on polling grounds. so they're going to have to find other ways to reach out in substance and the deal is that the clock is ticking, we do need a bipartisan agreement otherwise folks are going to have their taxes raised out of their paychecks on january 1. so there's incentive to do something. >> go ahead. the senator was in a philosophical pretzel. one point he's saying we can't cut taxes unless we find a way to pay for it. on the other hand he says we're for pro growth, you cut taxes you get growth and you bring more money in over time. you can have it both ways. either you cut taxes and you don't pay for it or you cut taxes and you do. >> all right.

>> look, the solution here is the one that's always been we should be able to close loopholes, keep rates low and raise revenue as a result. that's the common ground that washington should be able to come to. it's not rocket science. >> but if you close the loopholes -- you can close the loopholes but democrats want to make sure that you have a certain amount of fairness in there and the wealthy have gotten by pretty well in the last 15, 20 years and it's time for everybody to pay their fair share. >> we have to fight this debate. that's the terms of the campaign coming forward. >> thanks to both of you. the vote of confidence the u.s. isn't getting today. s&p affirmed the rating. china's rise is something i see starkly when i travel in the mid east. in my conversation with shaikh mohammed i asked him about china, specifically about this. in a four-page add in "the new

york times" about the uae's 40th anniversary he highlighted on the back that uae had only 18 businesses in 2005 and more than 2100 today. a whole page just for that. so how important is china to dubai? it must be pretty important? >> very important. you know, we think the power is shifting, for a few years now. remember before we've been doing trade with asia and china before that, but now china is very, very important because china is growing up and we're changing that direction with china. >> there is something to the question of which is now more important for the world in your view, for the uae, china or the u.s.? >> the u.s. is very important. you know, and we been dealing with them for a long time.

but this is a new market. >> just this year the uae became the number one destination for american exports in the middle east. so china's rise is a real and direct threat to the u.s. there. one thing, before you feel too bad if you're an american watching tonight, china's rating although it's stable is still lower than the united states. when suicide attacks kill dozens in afghanistan. exclusive video. tonight's outer circle. michelle parker last seen on "the people's cost" before she disappeared. tonight, her friend and co-worker comes "outfront" to talk about her friend and the search. tdd# 1-800-345-2550 let's talk about fees.

meant into muslim strife in afghanistan. >> to germany, where timothy geithner is meeting with european counterparts. why did he make the trip? >> reporter: timothy geithner is over here because he knows if the euro fails, that is a huge problem for the u.s. economy. he's telling the european leaders to get their act together. to stop the euro train wreck. he's encouraged that germany and france are looking to crack down on counties that consistently bust their budgets but the rest the euro zone has to back them to build a stronger europe. to russia where at least 250 anti-putin demonstrators and an opposition leader were arrested today. it was the second day of mass protests. pro government supporters were also out in full force. and phil black was there in moscow. what's behind the protests? >> reporter: these people are

rallying in the streets because they're angry with the fact that they believe that the parliamentary elections that were carried out on sunday were unfair. they and some international observers say it was slanted in favor of the russian party. the party of prime minister putin. that party suffered significant losses and that is considered to be a significant humiliation to the prime minister vladimir putin who is intending to return to the presidency of this country early in the new year. erin? >> phil black, thank you. now to florida, a tip investigators are expanding the search area for 33-year-old michelle parker. she disappeared november 17th. police say a caller reported someone who looked like parker in the daytona beach area. this is a new lead, but it hasn't turned up anything so far. the missing mother hasn't been seen since she dropped off her 3-year-old twins with their

the 2009 memoir "some girls: my life in a harem" detailed the 18 months the author spent in the harem of prince jeffri bolkiah. it was a best-seller. now the newest novel "pretty," poises for similar success. jillian's story is pretty

incredible. and she came "outfront" recently and we began with, well, her life in a harem. it read like fiction, but it was real. >> it's absolutely true. it's a memoir of my time when i was actually still a teenager that i wound up in the harem of the prince of brunei and i spent a year and a half as his mistress, traveling with him, traveling back and forth, and so it's about that experience and about that emotional journey for me. >> you had how you got there, you grew up new jersey. you went to nyu theater school. you dropped out. your parents didn't really know what you were doing. i guess at the time you were stripping partly and that's how you kind of got this but you didn't know you were going to be in a harem, did you? >> no, certainly not. i was stripping, i was also acting. when i went to this supposed

audition or casting, it was supposedly to go and entertain a rich businessman in singapore for what at that time was a tremendous amount of money. >> it was $20,000. >> which was astronomical for two weeks worth of work. >> yes. >> when i got the job, they told me actually you're being invited to be the guest of the prince of brunei and attend these parties that he has every night. i said, where? i hadn't even heard of brunei. >> tell me about this prince jeffri. i saw a story, this is the guy that went through $50 million a week or something. he spent more than $14 billion, more than anybody in the world. this guy's kind of a crazy guy. >> he's crazy, and decadent. and you know, at that time, it was attractive to me, his confidence and his charisma and his recklessness. and of course, recklessness when you have billions and billion of dollars translates to this huge scale, wch is why i think is still is in the press and entertaining us all with his antics. >> yes, he certainly is. "vanity fair" profiles, court

cases, all kind of insanity. let me ask you about your other book "pretty", which is not a memoir. >> it's not. >> but you just waved your arm and everyone can see your tattoos. it's about a woman who described like you. she had a lot of tribulations in her life, at least the character in the book, struggled with alcoholism, drugs, things like that. is that reflective of you? >> yes. you know, many, many of the details in "pretty" are culled from my life. certainly the substance abuse problems. i wrote that book when i was in very early recovery from a drug and alcohol addiction of many years. and -- but it's all sort of thrown up in the air and come back down in a different order. as opposed to the memoir where it was an exercise in memory and accuracy and honesty. and this is a little bit more of a flight of fancy. also honest in its own way, emotionally very honest book, the novel.

but the narrative is invented. but many of the people are characters from my life. >> your life. and do you feel proud of the fact that you set such an example? >> i don't think of myself as an example, necessarily. but i do feel very strongly about telling my story in a way that is honest and that's free from shame because i do hope to help other people to honor their own stories even when there are mistakes and missteps involved. >> jillian, thank you so much. such a pleasure to meet you in person. >> thank you so much. >> i read her book on a plane. bought her book in singapore. just really an amazing story. tomorrow on "outfront" another amazing story. there's a new presidential candidate in the republican party. we can tell you that they'll exclusively announce their candidacy here on "outfront." we have that coming up tomorrow night. right now, thanks so much for joining us.
