new developing coast to coast, out west, colorado lawmakers are considering a major overhaul to existing gun laws. in the northeast, a late season storm is bringing two feet of snow and massive flooding to areas already hit hard this year. and overseas, world's 1.2 billion catholics begin the formal process of elect ago new leader. we're live in rome on the latest with the election of a new pope. >> hello, everybody. i'm uma pemmaraju live in washington. well, with the country locked in a debate over gun control, the spotlight is on colorado this afternoon after intense lobbying in a marathon session a sweeping gun control package has advanced in that state's legislature that. has some wondering, what

ever the outcome in colorado, will other states follow suit? dominic is following the story out west. dominic? >> hey there. it took 12 whole hours in this debate that went late into the night to send sweeping legislation through colorado's democrat-led senate. not every proposal got through. shear what did. first of all, universal background checks to include gun purchases between private parties and sales conducted on-line. there is a gun ban for people accused of domestic violence that also got approval. lawmakers also advanced a bill limiting ammunition magazines to 15 rounds. that was a key measure. >> if you want to buy a gun, you have to get a background check. then if you want to have a high capacity magazine, we're going to limit that to 15. and it will be grandfathered in. so if those folks who have those types of ammunition, they can keep them. they just won't be sold once the bill is passed.

they will not be able to purchase them or transfer them in the state. >> lawmakers passed an amendment that bans any shotgun magazines, hold more than 28 shells. originally the bill outlawed any over eight. democrats with drew two of the most controversial pieces, gun ban on college campuses and a measure to hold assault weapon owners liable for damages caused by their weapon. these measures are by no means for sure. they will be a final vote monday. as of last night, at least three democrats were ready to side with republicans on those sticking points and that would be a margin big enough to defeat them in a decider. uma? >> interesting debate. thank you. well, after the newtown shooting, some suggested teachers should be allowed to carry guns in the classroom. yesterday south dakota became the first state in the nation to do just that. the state's governor signing into law a measure explicitly authorizing school districts to arm employees.

supporters say it could prevent school shootings but some argue they worry it's dangerous and could lead to accidental shootings. that law goes into effect july 1. so we'd like to know what you think about this. do you think teachers should have guns in the classroom just in case there is a problem or they feel threatened? is it a great idea or a dangerous game? tweet us. i'm going to read some of those answers later in the show. our manufacturers are bringing jobs back to america. our stock market has rebounded. new homes are being built and sold at a faster pace. we need to do everything we can to keep that momentum going. >> president obama speaks of his deep concern for struggling americans, yet his plans are focused on growing government, not the economy. >> there you go. the back and forth on the next money battle in washington.

president obama says he is reaching out to lawmakers from both parties to replace the automatic budget cuts that came in the sequester. while ranking senate budget committee member senate jeff sessions is concerned senate democrats won't present a budget that curves the nation's major debt problems. joining us, ceo and editor in chief of forbes media, steve forbes, who is here with his boss on what washington and the economy really needs. great to see you. nice to have you here. >> good to be with you. thank you. >> well, we now see the president launching his so-called charm offensive, trying to woo gop members to find compromise. do you think anything will come of this? >> i don't think you're going to see a substantial agreement in terms of the big drivers of our spending, future spending, which are the entitlements and in terms of spreading out these cuts which come to about 44 billion actual dollars in this pick year, they may shift some accounts around, but i don't think you're going to get a grand bargain. i think the republicans have to

be a little careful of is when the president brings up tax reform, the president wants to remove a lot of the clutter in the code, but he doesn't really want to cut tax rates. republicans have to really push, especially in the corporate side, to get real reform there. >> but many people would argue we do need some kind of tax reform to a system that's plagued with problems. >> oh, i believe in a radical tax reform. the flat tax. even shorter, there are positive things that can be done. the key thing is not to use the banner of tax reform to give us a real tax increase and put yet another burden on the economy. the american economy is ready to roar ahead. there is a lot of pent up energy out there, a lot of new businesses ready to gobut we han january. that didn't help. but another big tax increase, that would be highly unhelpful, you might say. >> indeed. well, let's talk about some of the pent up energy. this was quite a week on wall street. we saw the stock market doing incredibly well.

what's the average consumer to make of this, knowing that the stock market is doing great, but many people are still hurting when it comes to having jobs. >> well, this economy, even though it's getting a little better, it is still very slow. it's like the car in the super highway. we're now going about 40 miles an hour. we should be doing 70, 75. the stock market in real terms is no higher than it was in the late 1990s. so it's very good to have it up, at least a nominal terms, take it, be happy of it. but it also underscores in terms of investors, especially for the retirement funds, you can't time the market. so you just got to be steady, ride the ride up. don't get giddy when things go bad as they did in 08 and 09. don't pull out. a lot of people missed this 'cause they panicked during those terrible times in 2008 and 2009. and they missed this rally. >> psychologically, does this give people some hope that perhaps things are getting better in this country? >> i think we've seen with a

little bit of certainty, getting some of these tax issues off the table even though it wasn't done in the best way in january, when people know the rules of the game, they start to want to get and do real things again. we still have some big obstacles. one thing they haven't discussed with the president yet or the president may not want to discuss it is the huge uncertainty coming with what they call obamacare in terms of new rules and regulations, huge costs coming up, disruptions coming up. so that's still a big cloud on the horizon. >> it's something we're going to watch very closely and as always, we appreciate having you here joining with us your insight today. >> thank you. appreciate it. >> thank you. parts of new england are digging out from as much as two feet of snow after the latest snow storm hit the area. that region just can't seem to catch a break. and it's not just the snow we're talking about. there is also flooding, high winds, and storm surges. this house got knocked right off

its foundation. luckily, though, no one was home. david lee miller is joining us now with more on the weather woes. david lee? >> the recent storm that slammed the midwest wasn't forecast to be a big problem for new england, but as you mentioned, that's not the way things turned out. according to the national weather service, 13 inches fell at boston's logan airport and more than two feet fell on nearby towns. parts of connecticut and new hampshire are digging out from more than a foot of snow. the northeast coast line was battered during the storm with high tides, amounting to three separate episodes, three feet of flooding took place. on some island off the massachusetts coast, a vacant home was ripped from its foundation, causing it to collapse in the sea. residents say it happened without warning. >> one moment it was there. and all of a sudden, it just gave away. >> we just saw it slide right down. heard the crash and i said oh,

my god. it brought tears to my eyes. >> the snowfall has caused many towns to go overbudget for snow removal. some say they will get federal reimbursement. other communities say an easy winter last year resulted in a carryover surplus that will help ease the pain now. at least one town in upstate new york says it's paying less for salt, but overtime for snow removal crews, that continues to add up. so the question, why were so many people surprised by the storm? according to a forecaster at the national weather service, winds changed direction from the northeast to a more normally direction and that meant more cold air from canada, picking up moisture from the atlantic. now the good news? spring is less than two weeks away. yes, temperatures are already on the way up. uma. >> we look forward to that. definitely. thank you very much. well, as he just mentioned, spring may be just around the corner, but winter, of course, isn't officially over just yet. here is a look at our denver

bureau where a major snow storm is moving through. more than 200 flights have now been canceled at denver international airport and blizzard warnings remain in effect for some parts of colorado. meteorologist maria molina is joining us with more on the fox weather channel. >> hi. good to see you. that's right. we also have blizzard warnings in effect for other sections of the plains states and that's all associated with this storm system that like you mentioned, is going to produce significant snowfall across the city of denver and also some very strong winds. we are going to continue to see those travel delays not just for today, but even into tomorrow. we're expecting the storm system to continue to produce these type of conditions throughout the night into tomorrow across parts of colorado and into the plains. again, the blizzard warnings in effect for sections of wyoming, parts of kansas, nebraska, because of the wind and the amount of snowfall that we're forecasting, between six to ten inches of snow locally higher amounts will be possible, especially as you head into higher elevations across portion of the rockies. as we head north, we've had some

reports of freezing rain. we've been seeing that coming down throughout the morning hours earlier today. there is an ice storm warning across northeastern sections of the state of south dakota because we could see as much as a quarter inch of ice across parts of that state. very significant stuff going on there. on the southern side of the system, severe weather. tornadoes, damaging wind gusts and large hail can be possible across sections of eastern oklahoma, through texas, dallas, austin, you're included in this severe weather threat today. >> maria, winter is certainly holding on. all right. thank you very much. >> thank you. shifting gears now, we have a fox news alert. at least 18 people are dead after a pair of suicide bombings in afghanistan. those attacks happened during secretary of defense chuck hagel's first overseas trip. taliban says the first attack, the one in kabul, was intended to send a message to hagel. the bomber biked to the afghan defense ministry before self-destructing, killing nine

people there. pentagon officials are saying hagel was in another part of the city at the time of that incident. 90 minutes later, another suicide bombing taking place in the city of coast. nine others killed there. and in neighboring pakistan, a police officer in the city of lahor says hundreds of muslims stormed a christian neighborhood and set fire to houses. the mob was outraged by allegations at a christian man committed blasphemy against mohammed. hundreds of christian families fled and police took the man into custody to try to pacify the crowd. blasphemy is a serious offense in pakistan that can carry the death penalty. vatican workers hoisted the chimney high above the sistine chapel today. they are getting ready for the conclave that is set to begin next tuesday to pick the new pope. the college of cardinals has been busy all week. cardinals are discussing the problems facing the catholic church right now and figuring out the qualities they want to see in the next leader.

lauren green is joining us now with more from rome. lauren? >> hey. the date is set. the place is ready and all that is left is the much anticipated voting. the vatican workers attached the chimney stack to the sistine chapel. white or black smoke will be seen tuesday evening around 7:00 p.m. rome time after they cast their first round of ballots. black smoke means no pope. workers put the final touches on the interior, now arranged fort 115 men to sit in long papal under the famed painting, the final judgment. it's a visual statement of what each cardinal will say as he brings his ballot formed el say, i bring as my witness, christ the lord who will be my judge that my vote is given to the one who before god i think should be elected. vatican insiders emphasize this is a serious and solemn task.

>> i was told by -- i was back here in '78, i was here for the three popes, that it was quiet, a lot of time of reflection, and their own prayer on their own. so they're not politics or chatting as it's going on. they're watching to -- the ceremony of each of them walking up to give their ballot. >> the vatican also released more specific details about how the conclave will proceed on tuesday. the cardinal electors will begin the day at 7:00 a.m., moving into the sequestered quarters on vatican grounds. then at 10:00 a.m., they will celebrate the votive for the election of a pope. in the afternoon, they will assemble in the nearby chapel for a grand procession into the sistine chapel. now, why it took five days of general congregation meetings to decide on a date may signal how long the conclave will last.

>> five full days of discussion means that we could have a very fast conclave period once they go under lock and key as it were, in the sistine chapel. so hopefully these five days of preparation and discussions will mean that the cardinals are ready to go and they're ready to vote. >> vatican insiders also say there is no real clear front run who are will require two-thirds vote. a lot of talk is going about the possibility of an american pope. most prominent, cardinal timothy dolan, from new york, and cardinal john o'malley from boston. >> lauren, thank you very much. we're going to keep close watch. very exciting news coming from rome today. thank you very much. authorities are investigating a minor collision at jfk airport in new york this morning. the federal aviation administration says a jetblue plane was parked at a gate when the wing of an air india jet clipped its tail. no one was injured. neither plane was under air traffic control at the time. the faa is investigating that

incident. at a time when so many people are fed up with the gridlock in washington over the nation's deficit, taxes, health care, and immigration, one man has been generating a lot of buzz for his prescription on ways to fix the nation's most challenging problems. ever since he made national headlines last month at the national prayer breakfast, dr. benjamin carson has quickly become an outspoken critic of the white house and a government that does not encourage personal responsibility. dr. carson is joining us now and he's a best selling author whose latest book called "america the beautiful" takes a look at the values of what has contributed to america's greatness. dr. carson, great to have you here today. it's an honor to have you on the show. >> thank you. it's my pleasure. >> you've certainly been provocative and setting the blogs on fire. some of your critics claim that you eni didn't courting controversy. but others say you offer a common sense approach for some of america's toughest problems. why do you think your message is resonating with so many people?

>> because i think there are a lot of people who have been bludgeoned into silence who really feel very strongly about the values of this country and they don't think that there is anything they can do now. finally when somebody speaks up about it, they resonate with that. it's gotten so many letters from people who said they had given up and now they were invigorated again. every place i go, people come up to me and tell me that. and it makes me understand that there is a large number of frustrated people out there. they just don't feel like they're being represented. >> you take aim at political correctness in this country and you have said, somebody has to stand up, quote, to the bullies. who are the bullies that you're referring to? >> the bullies are the people, especially the media who like to just beat on anybody who doesn't tow the line, who doesn't say what they're supposed to say, and act the way they're supposed to act.

and they suppress freedom of speech and freedom of expression and people have succumbed to that. what i'm telling people to do is don't succumb to it. talk about what you think is right. you need to talk to even the people who represent you because a lot of those people don't really know what you feel if you don't really speak up and tell them. and they, instead, begin to listen to the special interest groups and the people who are paying them lots of money. and really that's not the way that the system was set up. >> you also say as a nation, we're moving further and further away from god. what impact do you think this is having on our country? >> well, you know, god is the source of our value system. this is despite what some people say, a judeo christian nation. our founding documents, all of the things were based on those kinds of things. and as we move away from them, we have to substitute something

else. and the values that traditionally have been substituted for the ones that are godly values do not lead to the uplifting of society. >> dr. carson, i know we want to continue this conversation on the other side of the break. so please stand by and we're going to hear more from dr. carson in just a moment. we'll get his take on the state of our nation's health care system. and still to come, some of bin laden's son-in-law is pleading not guilty to terrorism charges. but should he even be tried in the u.s.? we'll have a fair and balanced debate with former ohio congressman dennis kucinich and former massachusetts senator scott brown. stay with us, everybody when you have diabetes... your doctor will say get smart about your weight. that's why there's glucerna hunger smart shakes.

why turbo? trust us. it's just better to be in front. the sonata turbo. from hyundai.

welcome back, everybody. we're back with our very special guest, dr. ben carson. there are so many people who have no problem let government take care of them. you're very concerned about that s health care system. i want our audience to hear a

clip from the national prayer breakfast where you talk about the problems you see with our current system. >> we spend a lot of money on health care, twice as much per capita as anybody else in the world and yet, not very efficient. >> you ruffled some feathers at that prayer breakfast, but you've said obamacare is one of the worst federal laws in decades and it's already destroying our economy. how so? >> well, there are so many aspects of the new health care law that are anti-work. and the fact of the matter is, you have lots of employers now who want to cut people's hours back to less than 30 hours because at that point, they don't have to provide health care. and it's so expensive to do. and the interesting thing is, it's not necessary. 80% of the contacts between the patient and health care provider could easily be handled by a health savings account, without

the necessity of insinuating a middleman, which sucks out huge amounts of profits and complicates the relationship. we should just leave that last 20% where we need bridge insurance and catastrophic insurance. we could save a ton of money and we could create a much better environment. and people would begin to take some responsibility for their own health care, which would mean they would start looking for the things that make sense, the things that are economically feasible. it would also force the medical profession into the free market economy and they would begin to have reasonable pricing. all of these things need to be done. >> let me say that one of the things people love about you is that you don't just complain. you're offering a solutions for the nation. again, let's hear a clip from that prayer breakfast, a solution to health care. >> when the person is born, give them a birth certificate and electronic medical record and a health savings account, to which

money can be contributed, pretax from the time you're born to the time you die. when you die, you can pass it on to your family members so that when you're 85 years old and you got six diseases, you're not trying to spend up everything. you're happy to pass it on and there is nobody talking about death panels. >> why do you think our leaders today are not coming up with reasonable solutions that show common sense to approaching this problem? >> because everybody has their ego tied up in their solution. and therefore, they can't really recognize a good solution when they hear it, because they've already put theirs out and it's got to be the one. you know, we need to get over the big egos. the bible says by humility and fear of the lord, that's where success comes from. we got to stop being so full of ourselves. >> and political correctness, of course, is something, again, that you feel really gets in the way of making progress in this country.

>> absolutely. it's antithetcal to the founding of our country, freedom of speech and expression, and i think the founders of our nation would roll over in their grave if they could see what we have done through the back door. suppressing people. and all the notices that i get from people, people are sending me money. they want me to run for office. it's just unbelievable. i just appeal to the people who are already there in washington, just wake up a little bit and stop being so full of yourself. listen to the people and let's try to do some things, let's work together and let's solve our problems. >> let's hope we're going to move forward in the right direction. it's such a pleasure having you here today. thank you so much for joining us. >> my pleasure, thank you. >> and coming up, could there be a scientific explanation for why women talk so much more than men? okay. we're going to find out from a researcher who has been studying that issue. and a tragic story in florida, a man and his homosexual lowed up

sinkhole. turns out the home was declared a sinkhole free just five months ago. the home's owner is telling usa today that his insurance company has just inspected the home. family says in addition to losing a friend, they also lost 40 years of memories, like love letters and photographs. they were able to save the family bible, though. and don't forget, it's time to spring ahead. you need to move your clock forward one hour tonight for daylight savings time. it officially begins at 2:00 a.m. local time. you'll lose an hour of sleep, but gain an extra hour of evening sunlight. not a bad trade-off. amid growing debate over the use of drone, the air force has scrubbed data about drone strikes from its web site. last october, the air force began publishing monthly data on the number of drone air strikes in afghanistan. but now the air force says there are no statistics for february and that numbers from previous

months are gone. pentagon spokesman tells the air force times the defense department was not involved in the policy change. it's been six years since retired f.b.i. agent robert levinson disappeared in iran and now secretary of state kerry is speaking out on the state department's commitment to search for him. peter doocy has interviewed his son and has the latest on this story. >> as you said, robert levinson is a retired f.b.i. agent and was on kish island investigating cigarette smuggling as part of his new job as a private investigator in 2007, when he was kidnapped. six years later, his son tells me he hasn't spoken to his dad since the day before he disappeared and that seeing proof of life photos of his father years after captivity, is very difficult. >> it's a mix of emotions because at one time you're devastated to see him in the state he's in, but you're happy

to see that he's alive and that he is relatively well, considering the circumstances he's in probably. >> yesterday dan levinson and his mother met with secretary of state john kerry. the state department now says the united states continues to welcome the assistance of our international partners in this investigation and calls on the government of the islamic republic of iran to uphold its offer to help find mr. levinson and return him safely to his family. just a day after their meeting, dan told me this morning he hopes the new secretary of state can use the weight of his office to bring his dad back home. >> he has been related to this case for a long time, helping us in every way he could. so he's very well aware it's been six years and the difficulties. so i think knowing he's in this new position, he has more ability, i think, to more urgently press it. >> white house says the iranian government previously offered

assistance in locating mr. listenson and we look forward to seeing this assistance, even as we disagree on other key issues. the f.b.i. is presently offering a a $1 million reward for information that brings bob levinson home safe and sound. uma. >> thank you very much. well, two of our newest fox news contributors will be squaring off on who should hear terror trials. a fair and balanced debate coming up next. you don't want to miss this. stay with us with the spark cash card from capital one... boris earns unlimited rewards for his small business. can i get the smith contract, ease? thank you. that's three new paper shredders.

suffering serious structural damage as well. quite a scene there taking place in massachusetts. lots of people being affected by what's happened out there and there you see it, two homes devastated by that storm. the news over the capture of osama bin laden's son-in-law is generating lots of heat from lawmakers who are upset he's being prosecuted in federal court instead of a military facility. he is being charged with conspiracy to kill americans and in court yesterday, he pled not guilty. joining us now to share their thoughts about this and other political headlines, democrat and former ohio congressman dennis kucinich, along with former massachusetts republican senator scott brown. gentlemen, welcome. great to have you on the show. >> great, thank you. >> good to see you. >> let me begin with you, senator brown. a number of lawmakers are saying that the administration's lack of war time detention policy for foreign members of al-qaeda and

the refusal to interrogate them at guantanamo bay makes the nation less safe. do you agree? >> actually i do agree. i was on armed s jag, i'm preseg and i've been to gitmo and seen ksm through a secure barrier. we should not be providing lawyers to defend them. we should be providing our men and women soldiers the tools to defeat them. that's pretty simple. there is no policy. they should be at gitmo. we should not be treating them as ordinary criminals or ordinary citizens and getting rights that they're not entitled to. they're enemy combatants. we should interrogate them pursuant to our applicable laws and then if, in fact, we are done with them, then we can turn them over to the civilian courts, but to think we're going to have a dog and pony show in new york or any other federal district court and actually spend taxpayer money to defend these guys is outrageous. >> congressman, by trying the suspect in civilian court system, do you think we may lose some valuable intelligence this way, since he can simply lawyer

up? >> well, first of all, i don't think there is any danger that the obama administration, which has famously shown a willingness to execute noncitizens and even a citizen through drone attacks are suddenly going to respect the u.s. constitution when it comes to holding a trial. but for the sake of the discussion, there are two issues here. one is the fifth amendment issue of being presented through a grand jury with the particulars of the infamous crime that has been committed. and the second issue is the issue in the sixth amendment that wherever the crime has been committed, that's where the trial should be held. the people of new york and, of course, the united states, suffered grievously and there is a sixth amendment claim here that should not be dismissed that easily. i'm verned that this administration, which has not shown a particular fealty to the

american constitution with matters dealing with criminal justice, that it will just go right ahead with the plan that some are supporting, which is to say have a military tribunal and let the people speak their peace and then hang them. >> don't you think he is viewed or should be viewed as an enemy combatant? >> you know, that whole thing about an enemy combatant needs to be regarded, not through the lens of an administration's policy, but through the immutable principles of the constitution of the united states. look, there is no one in this country who holds any brief for bin laden or members of his family who are involved in crimes. this is about the u.s. constitution, which is a much bigger concern here. particularly with the administration that has not particularly been committed to constitutional principles, which is what the debate about the drones were all about in the last week in the senate. >> let's turn to other politics right now. senator brown, do you believe

the drama and the dire consequence over sequestration has actually backfired on the white house now that it's clear the sky hasn't fallen with this 2% cut? >> well, as you know, i voted for it. i voted for it because we were told that we would be obviously affected through our default. we have potentially default, the credit rating agencies were downgrade us. we were told the select committee would get in will and make sure our sequestration didn't happen. well, they failed. they failed again and they're continuing to fail. the administration could have transfer authority, the ability to get into those specific accounts, delegate those tasks to the dod to the secretary i can't tells, to the senators and ranking members, to go in and actually get the amount that they need and spread it over painlessly. but the president has chosen not to do that. he's chosen actually to prove a point, trying to point the finger at republicans and yes, i think it has backfired. >> what about you, congressman kucinich? you think the white house pushed it too far?

>> yes. in a word. >> and do you think they've learned a lesson? >> well, this is about the american people, beyond the politics. we still have a high level of unemployment, consumer spending is down. we should be talking about how we move the economy forward. instead, we're going into this fake kind of austerity while wall street is enjoying some of the best profits they've had over a period of decades and we're seeing disposable income drop, corporate profits up. this administration, which has been accused of being antibusiness has actually been very good to the business climate and we have seen the bailouts, which i voted against, and these other concessions that have gone to wall street. but frankly, main street isn't making it. that's where the focus ought to be. and all this stuff about the fiscal cliff, sequestration, there is a disconnect between what's happening in washington and what's happening on main street. and i'm saying we got to start

focusing on jobs, wages, on moving the country's economy forward. they're not doing that. >> all right, gentlemen. i have to leave the discussion there. always great to talk to both of you. we're running out of time. so happy that you could join us with your thoughts on the matter. appreciate it. >> we miss you in boston with all the snow here. any time you want to come back, let us know. >> you're so sweet to say that. thank you very much. appreciate it. i'm miss boston, too. if you've ever thought women talk more than men, it's not just your imagination. there are scientific proof, it's proof that has some wondering if we could learn more about diseases like autism. stay with us [ woman ] we had two tiny reasons

to get our adt security system. and one really big reason -- the house next door. our neighbor's house was broken into. luckily, her family wasn't there, but what if this happened here? what if our girls were home? and since we can't monitor everything 24/7, we got someone who could. adt. [ male announcer ] while some companies are new to home security, adt has been helping to save lives for over 135 years. we have more monitoring centers, more of tomorrow's technology right here today, and more value. 24/7 monitoring against burglary, fire, and high levels of carbon monoxide starting at just over $1 a day. and now get adt installed for just $99. isn't your family worth arica's number-one security company, adt? our girls got us thiin but the break-in got us lling.

and after buying two of everything, it was nice to only need one security system -- adt. [ male announcer ] get adt installed for just $99. and ask about adt pulse, advanced home management here today. adt. always there.

cool graphic. okay. women on average say 20,000 more words a day than men. some researchers think a protein called fox p 2 could explain why women talk more. joining us now for our ongoing series, one of the researchers on this project, dr. margaret mccarthy, chairmanner form psychology at the university of maryland school of medicine. thank you for joining us today.

>> my pleasure. >> obviously this finding has so many people buzzing about the fact that, okay. this only confirms what a lot of people have been complaining about before, particularly husbands and boyfriends, saying women talk too much and it's scientifically proven that our brains are wired differently than men. explain that first. >> well, there is a lot of aspects of our brains that are very different. wiring is one of the terms that we use. but the other things that are different is the way we express our genes in our brain is different in males and females. a lot of things about men and women that are different, not just language. >> so when we say that women talk more, we've been able to isolate that in the brain, saying they are predisposed to doing that. basically on the genetics of it. >> what we have is a gene that has been associated with language called fox p 2. what we did was for the first time ask, is this gene, the protein it makes different in men and women? it wasn't asked before. we extended our studies from

animal studies in which we've shown differences in the amount of the protein between male and female laboratory animals affected how they vocalized. so now in the humans w he can only look in this postmortem tissue, so we can't say one individual more protein makes that individual talk more. but we did find more of the protein in the brains of four and five-year-old girls as opposed to boys. that's an age at which girls are a richer vocabulary than boys. whether or not that extends to adults and to husbands and wives, we don't know yet. >> let's talk about what this research is going to help us find and use it going forward, particularly when it comes to diseases that are right now so complex and there are not a lot of answers for why -- what we can do to stop them. >> yes. so that's right. the diseases of the brain are extremely complex. one of the things we do is try to simplify them and look for common themes. one of the common themes is that

your gender, a code predictor of your relative risk of getting psychiatric or neurological disorders. boys are at much higher risk of developmental onset disorders like autism, dyslexia, stuttering, early onset schizophrenia. one of the common things is impairment in either speech or language. and the fact that we found that this protein is lower in the male brain when it's developing, 'cause remember, we looked at young children, suggests this might be one piece of the puzzle that increases their vulnerable to these developmental disorders. >> hopefully they'll take this research and go forward and see if we can use this to help in the fight against autism? >> absolutely true. we're trying to understand why is it lower in boys, in other words, how is it regulated and develop therapeutics around that. >> fascinating. thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. >> my pleasure. and prepare yourselves. up next, how a popular zoo in new york is hoping this fuzzy

face will convince people to open up their wallets and save an important exhibit. you don't want to miss this [ male announcer ] this is kevin. to prove to you that aleve is the better choice for him, he's agreed to give it up. that's today? [ male announcer ] we'll be with him all day as he goes back to taking tylenol. i was okay, but after lunch my knee started to hurt again. and now i've got to take more pills. ♪ yup. another pill stop. can i get my aleve back yet? ♪ for my pain, i want my aleve. ♪ [ male announcer ] look for the easy-open red arthritis cap.
