living with garth brooks.

>> and only in america. the worst business decision of all-time. it cost one man $58 billion! this is "piers morgan tonight." the mayor of newark run into a burning building to save his neighbor. he talks to me about gun control, the trayvon mar tip case and what it's like to have everyone today calling you a superhero. and also tonight, my primetime exclusive, the original "natural woman" carol king, her rocky and roll live with and the abusive relationship behind the scenes. >> i wanted people to read this in that similar situation and to understand what it was that i was going through. >> what do you say to women who watch this or who read the book? who find themselves in that position? should they say with the man or should they always believe him if he, eyes them? >> leave!

>> we begin tonight with the big story. the mayor said he's no superhero but new york's corey booker. mr. mayor,'re tremendous story that's emerged overnight. congratulations and thank you for your remarkable service to this neighbor of yours. take me back, if you will, to the moment you came home and realized what was happening next door? >> thanks, piers. i appreciate being on. when i arrived, two real hire ros, guys on my security detail had gotten to the house and alerted residents of the fire inside. they were able to get pretty much everybody out of the house. really, by acting quickly and thinking quickly. i got there as the last person coming down the steps and i went in and the mother was just saying to my daughter is still in the house, my daughter is still in the house so me and detective rodriguez went to the top of the steps and at that point something exploded and shot sparks and embers all over

us and my security detail said you got to get out of here, mayor and we had a little bit of a back and forth and his job is to protect me and i appreciate that but we had a bit of a tussle and i said let me go or this person is going to die. and i'm grateful that he let me go and i just went through the kitchen which was on fire and i got into a back room and at that point things got kind of bad because the smoke i entered into was really thick. i couldn't see anything. i kwient locate anything and it looked like my exit was blocked. when fear and terror starts to sink in, almost as if by rescue, i heard her voice call out to me one more time, was able to find her, grabbed her up on my shoulder real quick and sprinted through the kitchen and that's where she sustained some injure riggs but we got out of the house and i feel lucky and blessed that she and i are here today. >> and she must feel even more fortunate and blessed that you did what you did. that was an incredible act of bravery.

you said you don't feel heroic. you feel terrified. is that the reality when you get caught in a situation like that? >> once i convinced my detail to let me go and i saw how much the kitchen was ablaze i thought if i could punch through the kitchen i would be okay but i punched through and found myself in a position i keent get out of. i didn't feel very courageous. i felt a lot of fear bordering on terror and the first time in my life i didn't think i was going to make it because i couldn't breathend it looked like i couldn't get out through the kitchen and i couldn't find her. thank god, almost as if her voice helped me. she started telling me where she was. able able to find her, breathe in some more of the smoky air and then i just bolted through. she sustained injuries because things were dropping down from the ceiling which was on fire and mostly got on her exposed

back and arms and the like and just on my hand but we were able to get out, really, tumble down the steps and i've never been more happy in my live with to touch the pavement. >> quite amazing. you're standing in front of your property and we're going to zoom, now, i think to you're left which is to where your neighbor lives. basically, it's gutted. it's a stone property. it doesn't seem likely from the outside but inside it's very badly damaged by the fire. were you friends with your neighbor? did you know each other well? >> yeah, very well. in fact, they're fantastic people. zita, the woman i carried out, she's like a big sister. on my toughest somedays she always found the right combination between teasing me and lifting me up. so i felt grateful that we were able to get them out and, frankly, it's neighborliness. if i was in the same situation these people would have done the same thing to help me out as well.

>> the fire experts say that you almost certain live saved her life. what was the first thing she said to you when you got to safety? >> you know, first of all, i think we just wanted to breathe. when we got to the pavement, i was coughing up all the crap i inhaled and she was very, very disoriented and then, finally, somebody moved us away from the home and then very quickly people saw or heard she was injured and sat her down and took me some place to get oxygen. to this afternoon, i haven't talked to her. i talked to her mother a couple of times. she waited for me when i came home last night from the hospital. so you know, honestly, i feel the sense of gratitude like i've never felt before. i had one of those moments where you felt like you're staring your demise in the face. i feel a profound sense of gratitude to god. i feel like something got us out of that fire because it really felt like it was all over for me. i felt like which were trapped on all sides.

>> is there any truth to rumors that you're thinking of wearing a cape now at work? >> you know, i appreciate it. that's way over the top, again, something i think over should do. if anything, my staff thinks i'm not as equipped to do my job because they think if i have to do firefighter negotiations that i'll give them everything they ask for because i have more of an appreciation for them than i ever had in my life. leaders always talk about the brave firefighters standing in the middle of a smoke-filled house, feeling the heat of the blaze, and being, frankly, as frightened as i've ever been and thinking i was going to die, i now have a respect for these men and women that do this on a weekly basis that i never had before. they are real heroes. i was very fortunate to be in the right place at the right time and frankly, got myself into a situation that very quickly i didn't think i could get myself out of. so with the grace of god, got me

out and i now just want to give thanks to firefighters everywhere around this country. they do incredible things for people at their most vulnerable moments. >> i remember your heroic work in the big snow drifts about 15 months ago. i remember watching incredible admiration for what you've done. you're one of those guys, in britain we would say, he's in the trenches. mr. mayor, that's how i sum your of behavior up. >> i appreciate what people are saying. it's a little over the top. my real heroes last night were detective duran and rodriguez. they acted so quickly and varkted and got themself out of harm's way. >> that woman is incredibly lucky to be alive and i'm sure she'll reflect on that next time she talks to you. if we could move on and talk about the trayvon martin george zimmerman has been arrested and is in custody.

what is your view, as a mayor of a big city in mark, of the "stand your ground" law? >> well, somebody that lives in the state of new jersey where we don't have such a law, i don't see that it's necessary. you don't have people not using deadly force for some reason where a law like that would have advantaged them. i'm suspicious of its need and i think it creates situations where a person can shoot first and not have to explain their behavior. but i want to say something. the gun battle in america is really out of control and very frustrating to me. this is a situation where i believe there was a deep injustice done and now it seems like the wheels of justice are working in the right way. swri no worried with law-abiding citizens in the state of new jersey with guns. we've only had one shooting the

entire time since i've been here that was done by someone with a crime legally. the majority of crimes in newark are done by people that acquire illegal guns. we have a virginia tech every single day in this country. gun owners think certain laws should be changed. background checks at gun shows. like getting rid of the terrorist loophole. if i'm on the no-fly list in america and not safe enough to take a plane i can still go to a gun show and buy a gun or the fire sale loophole which means if i get shut down for the atf for not doing background checks i can take my entire inventory and sell it to whoever i want. gun owners and others agree, we should change these laws so i know there's a lot of focus on

the "stand your ground" law but what infuriates me is the level of violence we have in america that's preventible. we can't even get together as a nation to do the obvious things that would keep guns out of the hands of criminals. >> mr. mayor, speaking a lot of sense and as always, a great pleasure to talk to you, not just about gun control but what you did last night. thank you again for that and it was really quite remarkable. i appreciate you coming on the show. >> piers, i appreciate you focusing on this topic. we have a tremendous amount of violence in our community and we need to talk to each not not yell at each other to solve these problems. we are more alike than what we disagree on so i appreciate you bringing these topics to the forefront and thanks for bringing your cameras to new jersey. >> i concur. as you showed last night it's

time for less words and more action, generally, i think, on these issues. but again, corey booker. coming up, carol king tells all and her dog days and how she turned her life around.

♪ i feel the earth move under mee my feet ♪ ♪ i feel the sky tumbling down ♪ >> where would the history of rock n' roll be without that song "one fine day" all of them written by carole king, arguably with most successful rock n' roll woman on the history of planet earth. tapestry" was on the charts longer than all. she tells all in her fascinating new book "carole king" and the extraordinary carole king joins

me now. welcome. >> and i want to add to your lovely introduction by saying that all those songs were cowritten with gerry goffin. >> behind every man is a better woman. the thing that fascinates me about this book is you've had these pivotal moments in your life and i suspect can you've had a life richer than others and i think the classic example is you were about to the tapestry and you were in california, everyone is going crazy for you and selling millions of albums and you suddenly say, no, i'm going to idaho. >> that was not after "tapestry." >> i was in '96. "tapestry" was 1971. my way of coping it and having a life, i love that you twigged right to that "having a life." the fame was swirling around me

and i was living in laurel canyon and i was with charlie larkey, my second husband, my bass player as well. we had our first child together. i already had the two goffin daughters and i centered myself and my family. so i wasn't doing lots of interviews and going to lots of parties and doing whatever people who are famous are supposed to do. >> you didn't even go to the grammys to get the awards for tapestry. >> i did not. lou adler accepted them for me. >> so you had this amazing life in california and the sun is shining and you think, i'm going -- so "tapestry" would have sold 25 million copies by then. it was in the charts for four or five years. something ridiculous. >> it was the longest female album at the top of the charts until adele. she overtook that record and you know what? power to her, she's so wonderful. >> what did you think of that moment? >> i think it's great.

i thought, how great. as i said, i'm 70. it's like, you know, time to pass the torch and to such a fine artist. and a lot less messed up up, than like amy winehouse. i didn't know that amy winehouse was a fine of mine. she recorded "will you love me tomorrow." >> she was a huge fan. >> my brother-in-law was her sax player. >> yes. >> really? >> yes. >> i know for a fact she was a big fan of yours. >> i just wished i could have reached out and said you don't need to do this but i'm sure many have tried and it's -- >> it was said about you that throughout the '70s when ump with money and not going to parties but you were hanging out with a lot of people who were living the life to excess. you were like, at the orgy but you were the one watching. kind of an overview. >> when i was -- not literally, of course. >> figuratively speaking. >> you preferred not to get involved in that stuff?

>> yeah. there was the get back to the land sort of -- we laugh at that now in the austin powers movies and everything but i really did. >> this is why idaho is so crucial coming through in this book. you're at the height of your fame and you're making all this money and you go and uproot and live in idaho for three years and you live off the land. doing stuff as your friends at the time said to you, you can get people to do this. you can pay people. but you wanted to do it. to lead a life of often, freezing cold, no electricity, no televisions. >> snowed in all winter. teaching my own children and -- >> tell me what that was like, this life-changing time for you? >> it was an adventure. people say, why would you want to go do that? i met this man, rick sorenson who lived in a more remote place

but sort of came together in this one place. and i thought of it as an adventure. and it was. it was remarkable adventure. my kids had a little harder time, my younger kids had a harder time because they didn't want to be there. i chose to be there. but in spite of that, they got so much out of it and the teaching was just totally fun for all of us. we did an accredited home schooling program. i was going to be a teacher before my career went in another direction. and it was just great. and the most important thing i taught my children was to love learning. and they're all readers and love learning and i now still live in idaho. i live in a place that is less remote and i have all the modern, you know, satellite tv and i get to watch you, live. >> what a require treat for you carol. we'll talk about men. you've had good times and not so good times? >> that's correct.

>> we'll discuss it after the break. are you still sleeping? just wanted to check and make sure that we were on schedule. the first technology of its kind... mom and dad, i have great news. is now providing answers families need. siemens. answers.

♪ life was so unkind ♪ your love was the key to my piece of mind ♪

♪ because you make me feel ♪ you make me feel ♪ you make me feel like a natural woman ♪ >> that might just be the greatest love song ever. it might be. >> first of all, i want to say thank you and second of all, title by jerry wexler and lyrics by gerry goffin so a man really wrote the lyrics. >> when you sang that song and you look back at yourself there, knowing now what happened to your life, what do you feel? >> i feel, first of all, i'm younger than all my daughters are now. and i was so young and i just feel good and then, of course, when charlie came on the screen,

i was like, it's so hard. charlie and i are still friends. we still have a deep, abiding love for each other. we share children and grandchildren and i refer to that in the book as the unconventional success story, even though we're not still together in the conventional sense. >> you've been married four times now? >> yes. >> quite searing stuff in here about your marriage to rick -- >> there are two ricks. >> rick evers. >> this was your second husband? third husband? >> gerry goffin, charlie larkey, rick evers which is the one you'll talk about every now and then and rick sorensen. >> are you an romantic? >> yes. on your show you always say, have you ever been properly in love? every time. >> in your case it would be, how many dozen times have you been properly in love? did you marry every man you were properly in love with? >> no. the last two i didn't. >> if i could have trapped you on a dessert island with one man

in your life you had a relationship with, who would it be? >> i don't know. i'm not with anybody now. that's kind of who i would be with is me. >> rick evers, he abused you and you talk very openly and directly about that in here. but you also make the point which i think many women say to themselves, if i ever got into that kind of abusive relationship i would be out, and you didn't. and you're very honest about that. tell me about the conflict that happens when you're strong about that and then it happens to you. >> the line is, i would never be with someone like that until i was. here's the more shocking point, i suppose. to me, it was shocking after the fact. i stayed. and i married him after i knew about this. >> why? >> again, hope springs eternal?

but the dynamic ask really the answer. that hope sprang eternal. but the answer is not that simple and it's really difficult to, like, wrap -- it took a while to write it and i wasn't even sure i was going to include it in the book but the reason that i did is that i wanted people to read this in that similar situation and to understand what it was that i was going through. >> what do you say to women who watch this or who read the book? who find themselves in that position? should they stay with the man or should they always leave him if he abuses them? >> leave! >> just don't think it will change? >> no. >> because he won't? >> no. but again, i can't give advice to any person because i don't know her or his individual situation. but the thing i do put in the book after i tell all the process and it was really complicated. i can't just put it in a short bite bites but the important thing was to write it and communicate to people out there

that if you're someone who is in that situation, get help. help is available. i have a box that says, you know -- and the other reason i did it is because i was successful. i was financially successful. i was famous. i was, you know, a capable, reasonably intelligent woman and all these things. >> you had no reason to stay. nothing grabs you to stay other than your emotions? >> exactly. i wasn't trapped. i could have left. i make that point in the book. >> and the book is most notable for its complete lack of bitterness or gossip. it's a soft book. a reflective book of someone that's had an amazing life in many ways. >> thank you forgetting that about me. i don't have bitterness. i get mad if somebody does this whole justice thing going on now, politics, things like that, make me mad and then i just kind

of go -- what can i do about it? what can i change? if i can't, why be bitter? >> what would be the moment -- if ied that power to relive a moment in your life, it can't be marriage, if it was marriage in your case we'd be here all night. it can't be marriage or kids, what would be the moment you would relive? the greatest moment of your life? >> i've had so many great moments, honestly. it's hard to pick one. >> give me one. >> i think -- this is not the one -- but of the moment, it's my kids. the joy i feel of watching each and every one of them grow up to be a person that i would have wanted them to be and more. they were all my good, good friends and if i need them, they're there. they are wonderful people and we've all become great friends. >> thanksgiving and christmas, is there a moment when the piano gets wheeled out? and mom started to belt out "natural woman." >> quite the opposite. >> i just keep all that

separate. actually, my family is more likely to wheel out whatever instruments because many of them if not all of them, are musical so they wheel it out. >> all of these songs, "will you love me tomorrow", "take good care of my baby" and "one fine day" all of the great songs you've written or cowritten, which is the one for you. >> i'll answer by saying it's hard to pick one. there are probably two that are the ones for people. i think "you've got a friend" is the most -- the song that gives -- it's gift that keeps on giving to people and in turn, to me. because i get so much joy. and i write in the book at a concert, after i play "you've got a friend" tears are streaming down people's faces. republicans are hugging democrats. it's true. i've done it at political functions and then, for that

five 5:12, everybody is getting along. >> isn't that an amazing power to have? that you can do that through the power of music? >> it's not my power. that's why it comes through me. >> the other one, which i wrote, i cowrote with ms. tony stern is "its too late." so many people say" it's so late" got me through my divorce. and then there's "natural woman" where people come up and say sort of, little joey here was conceived to this? and i'm like, tmi, fa la la la la. >> and we haven't mentioned james taylor. tell me about you and james. >> the two times i met james, the first time it was sort of -- he felt awkward and i felt awkward and he wasn't quite present. the second time when i met him at peter asher's house, there was this sense of butter, like, fitting together.

just like -- our music fit together. we sat down and started playing, our songs, other people's songs and it's kind of been like that. i can see him, you know, i could not see him for years and we get together to do some benefit or fundraiser or something and we we'd play together and that's what happened on the trobador gig. >> two things. one, the book "a natural woman." a fantastically entertaining book. you've had an amazing life. >>nd i wrote every word myself. there's no ghost. that's why it took almost 12 years. >> that's why it's well written. >> and the legendary demo is out with beautiful pictures and amazing recordings of the songs. it's been a real pleasure to meet you. >> thank you so much. >> thank you, carole. >> and coming up, tricia yearwood on life with her

>> i like to make the guest feel like they're the star quarterback of contrary to public perception, it gives you more confidence? >> it's an ego booster. >> that's nice of you. >> you've sold 10 million albums? >> something like that. >> what is it like? when you're at home and i know for a fact, we have a mutual friend that we discussed. tells me garth is so attached to his family that literally, his show in vegas he has a deal with a private jet that zooms him straight back home and then back. amazing commitment to what he really cares about in life, which is his family. when you're all at home given you're both great singers, is it what i would hope it would be. when you come down at like 7:00 in the morning, dogs go running out, the chickens are running around and you two sit there and start singing over your cornflakes. >> here's what really happens. i get up in the morning and turn on the fog machine and then he

comes up on the floor with a headset mic like and he -- no, just kidding. if you walked into my living room there would probably be a guitar propped up on the couch that got pulled out from a case somewhere. it's a natural thing. people who truly love to sing have to do it all the time and one of our daughters lovetion to sing and she plays the guitar so it's always happening in the house and it's a cool environment. it's cool when your husband starts to sing some old merle haggard song and i can pop in with the harmony and we don't sound too bad. >> when did you know that garth was the man for you? was there a moment? >> i think there was an instant the day i met him, 21 years ago, a connection there. and i don't think that i -- a

friendship formed that was like the other side of me. we were singing demos together and we were -- had just met and we were singing on the microphone and doing the same licks. it felt like it was meeting somebody that you felt like you had known your whole life. i didn't know i would end up being married to him and there would be a much deeper connection. >> you were really good friends for a long time? >> yes. and i haven't had the best track record in relationships because i tend to jump in so by being friends with somebody for so long before we were a couple, we were friends and we told each other stuff we would never tell anybody that we were dating so we knew a lot about each other so there's that foundation that a lot of people don't get because they skip that part. >> you've had so many years as friends. what's the moment like when suddenly you both realize it's going to be something else? >> i don't know how to describe it. there's kind of always that thing that you kind of admit later.

like admitting to yourself, well, when he could call the house for you to come sing on a record my face would turn red listening to the answering machine. things i would never admit to myself and went back and was like -- i always was on pins and needles around him and i never addressed it. >> he was must have been the same way with you? >> of course, he was madly in love with me. >> you were both married to other people. >> right. so it wasn't an option. when it became an option, in my head i thought, this may be the biggest mistake i ever made in my life bubba if i don't go down the path and find out i'll never know so i'll see what happens and i really didn't expect it to turn out well and it's been amazing. i'm happier than i've ever been in my whole life. >> and he seems to be. in a sense that, it's not easy being highly-paid professional singers in the modern world. it's a hard, rigorous lifestyle. so i come back to the way garth does that vegas extravaganza. many people go and live there. he doesn't do that. he chooses to go home.

this must make a big difference. >> we made a choice as a couple. we were both touring heavily when we were married before. we were not home much. he always says, why should we be together so we can be apart. i drastically cut back on my touring when we got together to see if this would work and one of the reasons i wrote the cookbook was so i could be at home more than on the road. we're in a position that we can choose to be home when we want to be home and we travel together 99% of the time so we made that choice. maybe that wouldn't have been the choice 20 years ago so it's kind of good it happened now. >> and you eat food together. >> we do. >> which is a very clumsy link. we're going to start talking about good, wholesome, southern food. >> okay. you know a lot about that? >> no. but i want to hear about it. let me tell you about a very important phone call i made.

birthday, a few months later he'll start talking about it. i guess i only have to wait nine more months before i get to have that cake again? he gets all sad, and then i'll make him the cake. now he's doing the thing where he's like, i love the german chocolate cake, but i can't decide if i want that or the carrot cake for my birthday, so i'll make both. >> how do you equate this gorgeous food with the need in america in particular for people to eat less of this stuff? >> if you watch the show, you'll see this is a tribute to the history of my family. and i say in the show, and i've said in the books, this is something that is -- that tells where this food came from, but it's not saying this is the way we all know we're trying to eat better. in our daily life, we don't eat this way every day.

if there's fried chicken in my house, i'm going to have fried chicken. most of the time we try to eat more fruits and vegetables and grains, things we know are better for us. >> i love the fact that you cooked this kind of thing. the book is terrific. you have a great show, trisha's southern kitchen. it premieres on the food network. >> coming up, only in america. you've heard all those stories of people who got in on the ground floor of apple and ended up millionaires, billionaires. this is the story of a man who could have made billions but didn't. ♪

i was adopted and i felt i wanted to adopt a kid that needed a home. my son was in foster care for four years. from the minute michael and i met, i knew right away we were going to be a family. i thought everything was going great. after a month, michael was removed from my house, i was instantly caught off from him. >> finding that family for a child, it's nothing short of a miracle. >> let's go. we need to get ready for the horses. >> sometimes families are faced with barriers, because of a myth or misunderstanding causing the kids to stay in the foster care system longer. being an individual or gay or lesbian couple makes it harder. i'm helping other gay and lesbian couples become parents.

i've worked hundreds of cases. >> we covered a lot of information last week. >> i train thousands of foster parents. it doesn't matter if you're gay or straight, we do it for free. >> he figured out how to get us over that finish line. our family wouldn't have adopted each other if it hadn't been for david. >> i'm fighting for the right of that child to have that family. >> daddy, is tonight movie night? >> it's why i keep doing it every single day.

tonight's own until america, how are you feeling tonight? had a bad day at work? weather getting you down a bit? cheer up, at least you're not ron wayne. he's 78 years old, he lives a simple, quiet life in nevada. he keeps busy with his stamp collection. he plays the slots at the vegas casinos. he drives a 2002 chevy malibu. he's a retired engineer. he doesn't have a lot to complain about. except that on this day every year, he has cause to reflect on a business decision that didn't seem like that big of a deal at the time. but turned into something bigger than he could have imagined. he began a company with a couple friends, steve jobs and steve wozniak. ron's cut was 10% of the business. he wasn't sure. doubts began to brew in his head. and he bailed out for $800.

that moment may just have been the single most catastrophic business mistake in the history of planet earth. today that 10% stake in apple would be worth $58 billion. if ron had been a little more patient he would be one of the richest two or three people alive. the man has never bought a single apple product of his life. he's putting up a brave face of it. >> what can i say? you make a decision based upon your understanding of the circumstances, and you live with it. that's the best you can do. there's nothing can you do about yesterday. >> no, i guess there isn't. but like i said, however bad your day's been, spare a thought for ron wayne. that's all for us tonight. thought for ron wayne. that is all for us tonight.
