close to a moment where the entire society looks at an accident victim lying bloody in the street and its first thought is how much can i get for his watch. >> somehow we have to distance all of ours from this worship of the market and business. it has to be done through politics, because there's no other way to do it but you have so much money floating around and so many people invested in this free market conjuring that i'm not sure how we get back from it. >> stephanie: yeah. >> and 8,000 people have been arrested for protesting the banks, i don't think a single banker has been arrested. >> yeah, this provision about having to use your -- you know, your relief money to pay the mortgage -- to pay the mortgage

servicer rather than rebuild your home, that's way down in the fine print somewhere. and there's only one reason why it's there. >> stephanie: yep. charlie we haven't talked about syria. obviously a little bit of -- what is it chris a sticky wicket. >> a sticky wicket as the kids say. >> stephanie: what do you think? >> i think the president took the least bad option but i think it is a terrible option. i think that bill clinton should be ashamed of himself. this idea that we're going to get back in to proxy wars scares the hell out of me. >> stephanie: yeah. and to me it ex-coast of iraq in that it's complicated, you have hezbollah and iran forces right on one side, and the side we're going to back has al qaeda elements in it. >> i don't know what we're going to sen -- send, but i guarantee

zimmerman trial. and we are watching. it's the reality show played out. it's as if it's the morality plays. it's all of the things that great stories made of and we are on the edge of our seats. >> stephanie: we were talk about that yesterday. george zimmerman's father has released this e-book and is calling every black organization in the country racist. it is really incredible. about how his son is the victim and all of that. >> in my opinion everybody is a victim here. everybody is a victim. but it sure does open the big can of worms that this nation does not talk about but must. how do we talk to our kids about what their wear? it's about profiling. it's about our justice system. there's so many push-button heated issues here that all of us get involved.

>> stephanie: right. you were in mid-false eyelash, when i was watching the latest developments -- but one of the jurors -- they are going through jury selection, and she was saying he was told do not follow him, right? and they said how do you know that's true? and she said because trayvon martin is dead now. >> yeah, and i think that that is the main thing in my opinion -- in my opinion, i think the real case started after that dispatcher told zimmerman stay put. she asked him, are you following? he said yes, i'm following. stay put. we don't need you to do that. and anything that happened after that in my opinion was aggression. and at the end of the day that kid is off of this earth shot dead, and the guy with the gun

claims it's self-defense. and that's why i really want to hear the facts of this case, because right now it's really hard for me to believe that zimmerman did not hunt that child down in cold blood. >> stephanie: yeah there's some dissension on who is calling for help. really -- >> help i have a gun. >> exactly. who is screaming for help the guy with the gun or the guy with the skittels. and put yourself in trayvon martin's shoes. all you did is go to the convenience store and want to get home to your dad and his fiance, and this guy is hunting you down literally, and says it on tape. the crucial thing, which you pointed out there too, is that 911 tape, and this is going to

be the big thing in this case. because the conversation right now is how reliable is this piece of evidence which is so crucial, because it's the screaming. who is screaming? all of the experts have determined that somebody is screaming for their life. but how -- how exact is our science? it's not that the experts aren't expert. i mean my gosh they come from some of the top organizations in this voice analysis detection, but the voice is so high pitched, and muffled -- it is such a short clip that there are those that say this is not reliable evidence. we'll have to say. i say let the jury hear it and put the evidence around everything else, and you tell me who is screaming for help. >> stephanie: right. obviously race has already been brought up so much around this

case. how much do you think that is going to play out in this case. the facts are pretty clear an unarmed teenager is dead and the watchman who said things that are racially tinged. were there actual racial slurs on tape? >> there were things that they always get away with this and there was question about whether there was some sort of racial derogatory term or at least the intention. and the way he said he's black, and that kind of thing. so a lot of it is that many -- many feel, and let's face this, stephanie. the fact is, this is america's case. people in america said oh no we will not push this under a rug for another day. it was already closed case. nobody investigated for 44 days. let's not forget that after that child was shot.

>> stephanie: yeah, the fact that we're even having a trial is a testament to this family right? and the people that protested with them. >> and i think people across america, not just black people -- anybody with a child. and that's what we're finding. so many of the jurors some of them grandmothers 15% of this nation is in an interracial relationship, so there are people who are relating to this not just black people. i say any time -- if the weakest of us, the softest of us, our children are at danger all of us are at danger. this is something that america and the families said and the america that rallied behind him and her for justice, this is the case that america brought here to for. and i think in all of the horridness of even having to

have this conversation this is going to help us heal and open a dialogue and conversation that is only going to benefit us as the great nation that we are. we have a lot to work on and hiding behind it isn't going to make it better. we have got to have this open sore dialogue before more children are killed and before we go into worse relationships with each other. so i think it's an interesting case on many so levels. >> stephanie: and at the same time in the supreme court we have an affirmative action case a voting right's case, and john roberts asked in one of the arguments are you saying the south is inherently more racist? and i'm thinking yes. [ laughter ] >> and i come from an era, not many people -- we're getting past that era, and i remember drinking colored water. it wasn't that long ago.

so we can't heal that quickly. that's okay. but it's not okay if we don't talk about it, and realize the experience is all we bring to the table, and there are some people who see this trayvon martin case as another case of another black kid who is shot in cold blood, and the cops cover up, and it brings out more distrust for the system. and it is things like this that will make it so tough to find those six people that are going to have to whittle down they have like 32 more -- about eight more to go before they get this pool of 40 that they feel are the best. imagine how tough that is somebody who hasn't heard about this case, or have an opinion about it? >> stephanie: exactly. >> but those potential jurors are going to have to use great discernment to have an opinion,

but put that in the backyard and go out there and fight for justice. >> stephanie: speaking of you and i being old, chris can remember the days when i would return from cnn with some crumpled piece of paper with spilled chardonnay and say here is rolonda's number -- you were booked before -- >> travis was on it. i was walking out the door and my phone was blowing up. and i was like all right. i really appreciate that. because this is my one of my passion pieces. i really appreciate being able to talk about it because i do think it's fascinating. >> stephanie: what does rolonda watts talk about on blog talk radio on sunday? >> we talk about everything. it's really like -- i -- i kind of see my show sundays with
