lps me breathe better. sfx: blowing sound. does breathing with copd... ...weigh you down? don't wait ask your doctor about spiriva handihaler. . neil: forget the loser, look at ferguson, on top of the missouri town on the brink or is the media overplaying it? and allowing opportunists to seize on a very tragic shooting and take advantage of it. racial strife is not new, is this predictable response getting old? cooler heads should prevail. we're going to look at business of leading so they can. welcome, everybody. i'm neil cavuto, and have a -- from a distance you would think

it paints a not so pretty picture of america. so you would think. the fallout from the shooting of an unarmed african-american teenager on saturday after five straight nights of unrest, now reports of a group identifying itself as anonymous disclosed the name of the police officer who shot that teenager. immediate calls for retribution drowning out calls for simple calm. it is august, it is hot, and this has become a crisis. why no less than the president of the united states felt compelled from martha's vineyard to try to calm folks down. now, who really does calm it down and how? and what resources can and maybe will we use to make sure it does and soon? to our fox biz all-stars, katrina pearson, rick ungar and david asman. katrina? >> it breaks my heart to see what is happening, specifically in black america today. as a single mom and mother of a

teenaged boy, this is the perfect opportunity to talk about the underlying problems really. this is just a symptom of a problem of poor education, i was reading about some of the schools that lost creditation, this is a loss of entitlement society taking black fathers out of a home. this is the opportunity to point out those things to get conservative-minded, principles, values and philosophies. neil: you made this a political thing, is it really that? >> it is, actually. simply because what's happening here is we have a lot of people upset. there have been racial tensions in this country. we have an administration that has made lots of headway in racial politics in this country. we remain divided, more divided than before. we have al sharpton, you never see the people in chicago where young black children are killed

on a daily basis. >> that's a terrific point. although i should hasten to add, people are going off half cock, people like saying who is innocence, who's guilty. whether he was completely innocent? whether he was part of a gang or what? the officer, according to police there, the officer that was identified was wrongly identified. the one who is getting death threats. so people who are innocent are having lives put at risk. neil: how do you dial it back, or can you? >> not by doing what the police are doing, having given credence to them on the one hand, they were gassing a film crew the other night, and gassing them and then they came in once the film crew took off because they dismantled the police. >> neil, more than that, that is fascism, when you have

police try and go against the first amendment, just by using the irs as a political attack is fascism. we have to be careful, there are agents of power that are going way beyond their limits. neil: are we at that point, now? >> i have to agree with this, i abhor the industry that some people take advantage of to take advantage of things like this. and yeah, i'm talking about al sharpton. i have a problem with that. he doesn't do any good. so this has to go away, i agree with what the president said and sounds like david did, too. there is wrong stuff going on both sides. never an excuse to riot number one, there is never an excuse for the police to be arresting two huffington post reporters doing nothing wrong or the example david cited where they gassed these guys is took apart their equipment. neil: what leads to that? the air trigger moment?

everyone is involved? >> there is no reason to reveal who the police officer is yet. if i knew who he was in five seconds from now, what difference -- >> by the way, the one thing i disagree with the president on the department of justice put two people from the community relations service into that area in order to instruct people about proper ways of, quote, protesting. first of all, the kind of people eric holder are al sharpton wanna-bes, community activists who are not going to go in there. neil: what do you do about those cracking down on this now? rand paul, you were mentioning, an alternative? >> rand paul has said, and i think going too far, on the other side, we must demilitarize the police. if the police are shot at, which apparently they are in this situation, they have to defend themselves, and to the extent they need military hardware to defend themselves. i'm all for it.

i would be hesitant to make rash decisions at this point. it's a state matter. the state should come in rather than the feds. it's beyond the control of the city but it is a state matter right now, not a world matter. >> one good reason for the feds getting involved. this whole name issue, who the cop is. if you talk to responsible people there, the reason they want to know, they want to know his background. if he's done this before. you don't want to put this man in jeopardy. neil: local authorities are i'm assuming looking into it? >> it's going to give confidence to the leaders in the black community that somebody is also looking at that. neil: you know, katrina, i guess to echo your point at the outset. i'm always reminded when we think we're in a lot of racial tensions, incidents like, this boy, they come festering again, and i don't know if it would have been the same had it been a white teenager shot by an

african-american policeman, who's to say, i know that every time we've seen incidents like this, the fallout is quick, severe and often violent. will that ever change? >> well, it is, only with time, and with the appropriate leadership and proper policies in place to educate people. we're looking at a situation where you've had 200 years of oppression and black slavery and 50 years of integration and education and those policies have failed the black community. neil: is the looting and the ran sacking and some of the fall of violence done as an excuse, and using this, what happened, as that excuse? >> absolutely. it's one of those things you have taken the opportunity here as a crisis, that is a huge situation, there is lack of transparency of what's going on. this should not be happening in the way it's happening, but those like al sharpton don't make this better. they make it worse, and

continue to incite the inflamed victimhood and say this is black versus white when this is really police versus the people. people are very right to insinuate that militarizing the police is not the right idea here. the police are not shot at first apparently, this is again another time to have an open discussion about race in society, and about policies -- >> how many discussions can you have? >> one thing that is important, the overwhelming majority of people in this community are staying home, telling their kids to stay home or they're going to whack them and not letting them get involved. this is a small minority of people, i agree with what you said, take advantage of the situations to score free tv time. >> even al sharpton didn't like him, are you here as a snitch for the fbi or what? this guy's -- nobody cares for this guy. i don't have sympathy for him.

he doesn't have anybody support. neil: whether he's fat or thin, he is consistently hated. >> we should not let him go to these places without going to one show without butchering the english language. you make a gr. it's been that way sincthe day you met.

. >> the good news is, the biggest challenge of all that we face right now, which is climate change in terms of international global effect is an opportunity. the biggest challenge of all that we face right now, which is climate change. neil: you know it's good to know in the middle of the world melting down john kerry knows that the world is actually melting down. he's not alone. here's president obama saying much the same earlier this week. >> when you compound it with the pressures of climate change, it's not surprising that what you're seeing is a lot of chaos in various places. >> he's saying terrorists act up when it gets hot out. stick a fork in us. i think we're all done, and wonder why france is lecturing this president on take ill timed vacations. france! even climate changes are

backing away from the big guy on this one. the former republican minnesota governor and financial services roundtable president tim pawlenty. when it rains, it pours, the fact of the matter is, with everything going on right now, is now the time to be pegging climate change or separately addressing climate change, it doesn't seem in my pecking order of immediate threats we've got to be dealing with. >> the short answer to the question is no, neil. good to be on the show with you. when the french are lecturing americans on being overvacationed, you know we've entered -- >> game over, game over. game over. >> look, we've got kim jong-un developing further nuclear capabilities. the chinese expanding their territory in the south china sea. russia is on the march. we have turmoil in the middle east with israel in a war with interests in gaza.

we have the syria civil war that's now expanded into iraq. we've got iran mettling beyond. that we've got really a very, very delicate and dramatic and dangerous situation on our hands and for the president to elevate climate change as secretary kerry as the main global foreign issue is disconnected from reality. neil: before we expand on, this governor, the fact that it keeps coming up in the middle of all these, that's by design, these people aren't totally devoid of looking at trying to connect the events so they connect these events and go back to climate change. what do you think of that? >> well, i think it represents within the democratic party, you have a very activist, passionate group on environmental issues including climate change and it distorts their view of what's important. when you ask the aggregate top five or ten issues, climate change doesn't top the list. neil: you can argue much the same in the 1950s if it ranked

america in racial strife, it took very active leaders to make it an issue. you can argue back and forth whether that was lies at the time. you can argue the fallout and what we got out of it ended up being okay. the only reason i raise that, do republicans risk looking out of the loop by not addressing something like this that could be important? how do republicans respond to this? ignore it? treat it for the question that some say it is or what? what do you do? >> you lean into an american all of the above energy plan. here's one great opportunity, neil, natural gas, it is a fossil fuel but increasingly plentiful in the united states of america, it can provide base load energy, it can provide fleet fuel energy for transportation and burns a ton cleaner than a number of other alternatives. neil: you mentioned natural gas, sounds like john kerry has extra spots.

>> if you're concerned about climate change, there's no carbon emissions from nuclear power. there are other risks that have to be managed, we could be talking about that and lean sensibly, sensibly, where it makes economic sense into renewables. there are elements of that, that are probable. not a total solution but a part solution. neil: climate change is going to take us out, these guys are vowing to take us out. . neil: did climate change come up in that? no. all right. back with katrina, back with

rick, back with david. david? >> you know it's extraordinary. i'm glad you played that picture, another picture that we couldn't begin to show is a 7-year-old boy holding up the decapitated head of somebody that his father killed and they were very proud of the fact. in my mind, when i look around the world, when i see literal crucifixions on the rise again in the middle east. when i see 7-year-olds being taught how to decapitate people. and by the way, economically speaking, europe is going into a recession folks. have you italy in a recession, japan in a recession. germany is sliding into a recession. there are big issues, and final word on climate change, it's been a cole summer in new york, so, so much for global warming. the effectiveness of attacks on cole on so-called dirty things is backfiring. we had a piece in the "wall street journal" buried in coal, the u.s. imports more coal.

they have raised the price of domestic coal so much because of epa rules, we're having to import coal. we are a nation that has more coal than dirt and we're having to import coal which is a big middle finger to the coal producers, to coal miners, job seekers and stockholders of coal companies. if the republicans want an issue to get them on, there are democrats from coal producing states, this is the issue. neil: katrina, what i was mentioning with the former governor, that is obviously democrats are not idiots and the president is not an idiot. they must test this and poll test this and realize with the base this registers, but does it with the american people or do they want to make it an issue that this is something you should be aware of? ignore us now, they'll regret it later, and feed it a little doubt and double down by saying republicans are oblivious? >> i think you are absolutely right. they mastered the fear of

politics. and it's interesting, we entered the alternative universe in 2008 considering how everything is pretty much backwards. we're worried about something and want to prioritize something that's going to take us out in a few thousand years, when it looks like in the state of nation and state of world, we'll be taken out in less than 50 years. it's really an interesting concept but they are using something like climate change, which by the way, i'm in texas and it's been a cool summer here as well. there's no credence to it. the science is back and forth, the jury is still out whether or not it's a huge issue we have to deal with right this second. neil: all right, rick ungar is snickering as you are saying what you are saying. >> two quick points to what the governor had to say, intelligent people can look at immediate and near-term problems and far-term problems at the same time. neil: you looked at washington? they can't do either. >> i said intelligent people. neil: all right. >> number two, i am troubled, very troubled.

neil: to put it mildly. >> by the clip you took. i would invite the audience to watch the interview with the president, you only need to watch the first six minutes, first six minutes, obama at no point suggests that global warming was the reason for terrorism. he was talking about a much bigger subject. go see it for yourself. neil: we did, we did. we didn't take anything out of context. >> yeah, you did. neil: we most certainly did not. he echoed this before, in prior interviews. >> never said it caused terrorism. neil: he has said repeatedly there is a direct connection between climate change and the aberrations we've been seeing with terrorism across the world. he said that a number of times. and by the way, secretary kerry said. >> secretary of state. neil: you think this is done in a vacuum? >> yeah. neil: you think we're editing our bites? are you kidding me! >> two things, look the the interview. neil: you want me to do, i

don't play these msnbc games, that quote was in its context. i watched the interview, ran an hour and ten minutes. see the whole interview, you come around with a different conclusion, you pick and choose what you want. >> no, no, no, i challenge you to go online ispent two hours doing it, find anybody who covered that story. anybody. i couldn't find anybody. fox news online didn't. neil: you said it you are saying you're looking at an incident, and you're looking at what has been a pet cause of the administration and tied to a number of other things that have nothing to do with -- >> but he didn't. he didn't. neil: you're saying we're doctoring quotes. >> no, i'm not. neil: we'll have more. we'll have more. let that phrase sit with you for a second. unlimited. as in, no limits on your hard-earned cash back. as in no more dealing with those rotating categories. the quicksilver card from capital one.

unlimited 1.5% cash back on everything you purchase, every day. don't settle for anything less. i'll keep asking. what's in your wallet?

. neil: well, you heard by now that hollywood is pouring a lot of democrats to help with the 2015 elections and take back the senate or keep the senate. republicans don't understand the hollywood culture and it's hurting them. robert stands out here because, well, he's not a liberal. but i think you're fairly pragmatic. >> i am, i'm independent. neil: you defended israel and all of that, but you're not some flag raising -- right? you just step back. what do you make of what hollywood is doing now? >> more importantly is why the gop hasn't been able to embrace the culture since reagan. reagan understood the hollywood culture like kennedy did and had tremendous support for it. neil: who did he have it? >> who did reagan have it with? neil: conservative icons, hollywood icons? >> all of them. he was able to cross over. reagan crossed over a lot of

hollywood iconic figures beside having the typical iconic guys. i met with a lot of the gop guys, close to some of them, and give you a perfect instance, i met president clinton in 1996 at a dinner. robert davi, i watch all your films, i met president obama, nancy pelosi introduced me. president obama says robert davi you're a great actor, all right? i met president bush at a private home of a mutual friend of ours, who i supported, and president bush response was -- he wasn't even, if they were briefed. this is robert davi, die hard gooneys, there is no receiving. neil: did he say you look familiar. >> no, no, just that. it wasn't even that. that is the g.o.p. >> why is that a problem, if you think about it? >> they're complaining about hollywood raising money.

they could do the same thing, that's the problem. the problem isn't hollywood giving money to the liberals, the problem is the gop is behind the culture, one of the things that bribe art was trying to explain. neil: we don't need hollywood, do you say a great risk to them. >> i can tell you what it is? neil: sure. >> when i was a kid doing broadway in manhattan, all the actors were going from hollywood to pilot crap because they weren't getting in films. the minute they got in films they embraced the hollywood culture. it's the same funny -- neil: that's very good. >> same kind of jealousy. neil: do you feel ostracized as a result of the expendables and everywhere, everyone knows you, it doesn't seem to hurt you? >> it does. it d is an effect. neil: you're printing money? >> hardly.

hardly. no, no no. neil: you were more to the left, you wouldn't do this? >> absolutely. neil: really? >> i did a television series called profiler from 1996 to 2001. starred in the series about fbi profilers, it was a hit show. created with the crime drama is today, i have not worked for nbc since i turned down a dinner that the producers were giving for al gore because i was for bush. i don't know if that has anything to do with it. how can you be on a hit show for five years, 88 episodes. have the tv cue, best ratings on saturday night and never work for the network since. neil: they'd be spiting themselves. >> you would think, it doesn't matter. it might be my own little sales break. neil: robert davi, thank you very much. thanks for entertaining us. >> check out my music, sinatra.

you would be surprised. >> i would not be surprised at all. i wouldn't see you at an if dinner either. leadership lacking, jerry levin living. my mother made the best toffee in the world. it's delicious. so now we've turned her toffee into a business. my goal was to take an idea and make it happen. i'm janet long and i formed my toffee company through legalzoom. i never really thought i would make money doing what i love. we created legalzoom to help people start their business and launch their dreams.

. neil: sometimes you wonder why americans are losing confidence in this country? a new poll out of gallup saying americans think government leadership is the problem, on the right on the left, they are turned off. jerry levin says there is a leadership vacuum going on not only in washington but corporate america as well. former aol time warner chairman and ceo on the phone. thank you for joining us. what do you mean by that? this leadership vacuum? >> well, you know, i'm beyond disillusion at this point because you know, you have to go right to the top and look for accountability. and what i don't see, starting with the president, i'm a lifelong democrat, probably a progressive, liberal, whatever you want to use.

and the fundamentals of leadership i don't see them at all. first of all, who's articulating our values? american exceptionalism so that we can stand for something. this country stands for something, and then what's our strategy? i mean when do you intervene? it is so confusing. neil: what do you mean? was the impetus of this what was going on in iraq or what was going on? >> yeah, as simple as what fdr used to do with the fire side chats. obama needs the energy to do it digitally. he needs to explain the facts what's going on in this world. it's dramatic, it's confusing, isis, are they the jv, the varsity. neil: what if he doesn't know, i know the president didn't know a lot about the scandals, and plenty of blame to go around all sides. what if it's so overwhelming that it a don't know? >> no, no, then you get up and

say here's what we know, here's what we don't know. you just be very clear and simple. neil: what if he says he does know. follow that logic, let's say he does know but i'm not going to do more than i have already done even though i do know? >> well, that's not what we want from our leadership, you know, just the humanitarian effort on the top of a mountain which is sorely needed. we didn't have sufficient understanding, and now he's taking credit. by the way, leadership is also about symbolism. it bothers the heck out me that we're hearing from him at martha's vineyard in a sports shirt and sports jacket, hugging and hobnobbing when, in fact, just these two examples. why not get on air force one, go with jeh johnson to

ferguson, missouri and show leadership. go down to the texas border. neil: wouldn't that fire up an already firedup situation. there's that argument that it would make something worse? >> an argument we don't respect our president and the office itself because when it's effectively used, it calms these fears. i mean, let's go with rick perry to the texas-mexico border. symbolism is very, very important, and we're not seeing it now. by the way, i feel the same way to a certain extent about corporate leadership and speak from experience, we're so constrained on a tight leash from wall street, and at the same time, we're usually lobbying government for some favor. so instead of standing up and talking about things that are happening that are important around the world because the geopolitical situation affects not only the markets, it

affects our international companies. and so, you know, let's hear from accomplished leaders who have something to say in the public debate. we need more voices. we need more intelligent commentary, and that's -- everyone is politically polarized, saying things for effect. neil: and from their respective positions. gerald levin, wish i had more time. until next time, stuff to think about, i appreciate it. jerry levin, former aol time warner ceo. now hear steve ballmer's attorney. the new owner of that particular team. friday night, buddy.

. neil: it looked like he's got an uphill battle to hang onto this team. what chance does he have on a court has ruled that he doesn't? >> there's no question that there's a battle in store here, and i don't think donald is somebody to run away from the

battle. neil: that was donald sterling's attorney telling me that they were not turning away from the battle but that battle may have already ended. a california appeals court rejecting sterling's bid to hang onto the l.a. clippers, but that team now is in someone else's hands, steve ballmer and his attorney is joining me right now. the game is over as far as this is concerned to you? there's no chance that sterling can come back and make an argument for owning the clippers? is this put to bed now? what? >> it's game over, neil. good to be with you. neil: thank you for coming. >> sure, my pleasure. donald has an opportunity to try to go to the supreme court to get the supreme court of california to overrule the court of appeals of california and the trial court, but he's got about a one in two billion chance of succeeding at that. neil: you know.

>> so for us, it's game over. neil: okay, one in two billion would be that. that was a lot for steve ballmer to pay for the team. i think what sterling and his lawyer are arguing, owners love it, and the whole industry loves it, but they should think long and hard about that, that this is all being really deflected by the money. what do you make of that? >> well, you know, look, obviously, it's great for owners that steve ballmer came in with a record-breaking price, the highest price paid for any sports franchise. neil: did he do that deliberately, adam, that he wanted to come out the gate with a bid no one could top and not get into a back and forth, back and forth? >> he wanted to clear the field. neil: yeah. >> and as his wife said to him, how do you spend 2 billion dollars? he said write a check. neil: must be nice.

so now what? he's look at the team and said some things already, relations has improved with all the players, what have you, how do you advise mr. ballmer now, like obs obviously, a lot of legal battles back and forth. as far as the old owner is concerned. how much does mr. ballmer inherit and how much do you have to deal with? >> well, right now, our focus is going to be on the team. steve is incredibly excited to get involved and give the resources that the team hasn't had in the past to the coach, to the players, everybody is really and excited. coach, doc rivers is thrilled. all the players are really excited. steve's coming down on monday, you may know, for a fan rally, and there's going to be enormous amount of enthusiasm. in terms of the legal battles, think we pretty much put those to bed.

neil: when i talked to sterling's lawyer, one thing that came up, no matter what you think about this, neil, think about what started this, comments made in a private conversation. i want you to listen to this, just as a lawyer, i want you to react to it. >> sure. neil: why would mr. sterling turn his nose up at a $2 billion deal? >> all of my client's privacy rights were trampled. we know now, our privacy is for sale. it's $2 billion. maybe the price comes down for ordinary folks but my client it was $2 billion. that's not enough to sell your right to privacy. neil: another owner mark cuban said much the same thing, there was something sordid about this and didn't sit well with him. and that an owner, whatever egregious comments were made, is out of owning that team because of remarks from a private conversation. >> well, first of all, i think

it's an absolutely scurrilous argument to say that if you're a racist in your home with your mistress that somehow that is okay, because he didn't intend to express his racist beliefs publicly. in fact, when he did have the opportunity, it did exactly the same. look, he had his opportunity to express his views, he had his free speech, but free speech does not protect you in terms of what the consequences are to your business and to your business partners when you make comments like that. and he entered into a contract with his partners, the other nba owners, that he would comport to a certain code of conduct and behavior that was acceptable, that would not harm his other partners and he violated that. and their consequences are, are

severe. neil: adam, thank you very much. >> has the right to speak himself. in new york state, we're changing the way we do business, with startup ny. we've created tax free zones throughout the state. and startup ny companies will be investing hundreds of millions of dollars in jobs and infrastructure. thanks to startup ny, businesses can operate tax free for 10 years. no property tax. no business tax. and no sales tax. which means more growth for your business, and more jobs. it's not just business as usual. see how new york can help your business grow, at startup.ny.gov

. neil: what is the deal with the stars who seem to have it all, ending it all? we discussed the tragic suicide of robin williams on this show. it was my closing comments on the subject of depression on fox news that refrained this discussion and the debate unlike any reaction i have ever seen. first the comments that led to all the e-mails and texts and all the tweets you're about to hear. >> we could talk forever about how incapacitating a disease this is. how wrenching and emotionally taxing a disease this is, but forgive the families that have to deal with this, if they don't also blurt out how

selfish this disease is. how it so consumes the person in it that he can't see all the loved ones trying to help him out of it. because robin williams' self-described demons attacked them as well. his tortured soul will be their torture'd lives and unending tortured questions. what if we could have prevented it? what if we had only one more talk. one more moment together. maybe we could have changed things. of course, they'll never know, will they? because they'll never see him again, will they? that's what i meant when i talked about the passing of a star loved by millions. especially tragic, even infuriating for the family that loved him that he left this world alone, and the silence is deafening, and for them, it is maddening. >> once done, actually within seconds and minutes, the e-mails and tweets even the phone calls and instant

messages started pouring in. like i ripped the scab off all of collective america. again, unlike any reaction i have ever seen to anything i have ever said any time or anywhere in my career. it seemed in those two minutes, again, i had hit some sort of nerve, so tonight i want to take this moment to share this collective viewer release. not much funny here, if you bear with me, there's a reason to stop and step back. clara in new york city, you just said in those few words what hours upon hours of analysts and anchors could not. remarkable. martin via yahoo! neil i'm not a person who e-mails a comment, but you had to just now. you managed to cover everything in the two to three minutes, every word golden. it did come to my heart. in a word, stunning, two more, thank you. bill in new jersey, closing comment, excellent, very well done. tina, only one who has

experienced depression either directly or indirectly could write something so powerful and meaningful. dr. james, my goodness, i've been treating clinical depression for decades, you summed it up the hell of the crippling disease, i commend you and i thank you, i'm very flattered doctor, on this subject, all i can say as is probably implied, i'm very familiar. and i like you eager to help any way i can. just when i want to hate you for annoying interruptions, you stop me and the world in our tracks. john in texas, what an awesome tribute to robin williams, i fought severe depression and know there is much left to be learned. thank you, neil. claudia via aol. only someone who lost a loved one so senselessly could have written so truthfully. thank you for speak so poignantly for those of us left

behind a wonder. ruth comcast, neil, you must know depression yourself, your monologue was so gripping that i'm having trouble moving on. those of us who suffer know exactly how it could be that robin williams did what he did. lizzie in new orleans, over the years i've gotten a kick out of quick wit and rapid fire, yes robin williams'-like comedic skills, you showed the depth of despair that is depression, no one has come close to putting their finger on it like you did. thank you, mr. cavuto, thank you. let's just say i speak from a heart under a lot of skin. trisha via e-mail. the speech you gave at the end of your show was amazing, i would love to haveoy copy of what you said, i feel it would help people know who suffer from depression. if this would be possible i'd appreciate it. this came up a lot. the most moving and thoughtful

message i've heard. i hope fox news will replay your monologue on other shows, the message was too powerful and meaningful to be lost. it's up on foxnews.com and we're going to keep it there since many of you requested it along with the unique robin williams bitses from when we started from the beginning. it's all there. check it out. tom in maine, knocked my socks off, just say ditto, well done. this from porter, yeah, that porter. and i, quote, cavuto for the record, i think you're a self-absorbed idiot. tonight you were remarkable, you hit home and for once i didn't want to hit back. i think we're having progress here, porter. alexis writes from louisiana, neil all i know from official bio, is you have ms and survived stage 4 cancer, that leads me to believe your own brush with mortality, this is

like no insight from anyone in the media. there is something else you are not telling us. it doesn't matter alexis. what matters right now is a little bit of collective family pain can be eased if we all just try to share it. if in any way any of my words can help in that regard all to the better. neil, my 19-year-old son suffered from depression and anxiety like mr. williams, he turned to drugs and alcohol. he hung himself 18 months ago to end his pain. your words, the anger, the what-ifs, the sadness and the reality that my son's pain is over but mine and my younger son's will last for the rest of our lives. i'm so sad and sorry to hear all of that judy ann, that in the end is perhaps the most wrenching fallout from depression, if you think about it. how it goes on and on, how it lingers with the families who

can never let go, even after their loved ones were long gone. perhaps one of my most touching e-mails came from george who discovered robin williams doing street performances in san francisco and gave him his first big break. george came on the show not only to share great stories but exclusive material and wrote the following afterwards, this one i'd like to share because i treasure, not only because i like the guy, i like him despite his crazy left wing twisted politics. of all the endless hours of eulogies and retrospectives, yours is the most sensitive understanding of the problem. i cannot tell you how much i appreciate what you did yesterday and today, the material you ran was given to no one else in spite of numerous requests. i'm glad you had the rights to use that material because no one else can present it as well as you did. many, many thanks.

i will resist doing any more jokes about fox news, for the time being. all right. now, a lot of these e-mails might seem self-serving and self-flattering. i do not mean them to be. with the overwhelming discourse i got back. the only purpose relaying them is getting to you read what i said and get an inkling what i was trying to get at. we can all be angry and bitter that robin williams is gone, my only point was to understand the disease that gripped him, and to get everyone aware that depression is something that grips this country in a way and to a degree very few appreciate. i do. and i think a lot of you do. i'm very sorry end to this show on that kind of a note. a sad note. maybe a down note. i wish i had a joke to tell you or a little verb to relay, but i don't. only this, depression is a horrible disease, and the best way to stop it is to address

it. we could do worse than address the clouds that are out there because it is far worse, my friends, when we do not. and on that note, i will say good night.

you know what i love america? fine barbecue, good times and zero heart burn. and that's why i take prilosec otc each morning for my frequent heart burn because it gives me zero heart burn. prilosec otc the number one dr. recomended frequent heart burn medicine for nine straight years. you can beat zero herat burn prilosec otc one pill each morning 24hrs, zero heart burn
