much as you do for the military, but certainly we've raised millions of dollars for the track chairs here as the folks know. when you do these things, it's hard sometimes. i mean, it's hard. you're a busy guy, a successful actor. you live in the west coast. you have a family to take care of. you're out all the time. does that ever weigh on you? >> well, it does, but there's a lot of satisfaction also when you see that you can do something to help somebody. >> absolutely. >> there's a lot of entire chul nourishment you get from that. >> spiritualme newishment. you're a believer in god and helping others? >> i felt in some ways i was called to do this. there's a thing that i can provide. there's a thing that i can do. there's a way that i can raise awareness. there's a way that i can give back. >> and you're using your fame, obviously, for good to do this, and i kind of do the same thing. i figure, a million and one, it's actually 20 million to one

that i'm here, so i might do some good. the guy, when i visit the wounded, and i don't try to make a big deal out of it, but they're so almost stunned to see you. and it's me -- it's me, the one -- i'm the one that is privileged to be with them. >> i'm sure they're stunned to see you, bill. >> they are. >> and the first thing is we didn't know you were so tall. >> i'm sure they're stunned. >> i bet you feel the same way. it's like i don't want them to think i'm anything special. they're the special ones. you know? they have given and sacrificed for their country. >> but they don't expect anything. they don't expect celebrities to walk in the door and take their time to visit them. when you go to the war zones and the hospitals and go around and play it for them like i have over a number of years, even with all that i've done, i'm still every single time i do it, i get so much nourishment out of it. i just feel that, you know,

this wrong. what are you thinking about? >> he was playing the game. he was a clever man. when he went into that temple to do this, he did that for a purpose, a reason. >> sure. >> he was trying to fulfill the prophesy. it was not entirely him being reactive. it was planned and plotted in his mind with no judgment toward humanity and everything about it in terms of the story itself. if you really want to ask me the essence of it, it's a story about love, and it's also a story about celebrating us humans, what we're capable of doing for one another. >> the temple is god's glory. >> god's glory is love. >> fantastic performance. >> thank you so much. >> thanks for coming in. >> thank you for having me. pleasure to meet you. >> in alliance with the stars has joined us here. >> these stars? >> a child. born in your kingdom.

own rule for 30 years, murdered after his children, had 30 or 40 children. he was a busy guy, and this was what helped me realize that he was probably worried about being as assassinated all the time. people used to say when i first got the role, how are you going to play him? it's going to be so much fun. i didn't get it. but he -- i thought he must sleep with a weapon in his bed. he must. if he's no paranoid, and that helped me to play the whole first scene. >> anything you learned throughout the whole experience? >> i loved morocco. >> that's good. >> i had been there 20 years previous, and i loved it then, but i drove through the atlas mountains. fantastic people. wonderful food. >> did you get the keep the costumes? >> with beard. i had sort of a full beard

no question they can't ask me. we'll talk about anything. the questions, obviously, some of the things are the same things adults ask. what's wrong with this person. we talk about good and evil and bad decisions and my belief that god gives us all free will. that means he gives it to people who choose evil as well. and then my daughter and son both asked about the death penalty, if that was on the table early on. we talked about what that was and what it looked like, and we talk about that in american wife too. it's interesting to see their responses. they're different people. >> we meet in fallujah. you saved my life. >> i did? >> yes, sir. we were stuck in a house until you came in with the first marines. you were the one that carried me out. >> the ma reerines saved us ple of times. how are you? >> i'm just grateful to be alive. why don't you come down to the

v.a. sometime? >> you're a christian woman. you wear the cross proudly around your neck. did you talk about forgiveness? i don't know -- boy, you know, you have to -- our religion dictates we have to forgive. i always say the person has to ask for forgiveness. maybe i'm on the wrong side of that. have you talked about 245? >> we've have had deep conversations about that. i had a deep conversation on my pastor about that on a different issue, respecting the time we have here, there's a story in the bible where there was some jews that god sent into a cave. they decided to not listen to god. they walked for 40 years and said god, please forgive me. he said i forgave you the day you did it, but that doesn't mean you can go back in the cave. there's a consequence. that's what we talk about, to finish that thought, we did talk about that, the fact that we can

try to forgive the person while we condemn the act and while we also want their punishment. >> that's right. they have to pay the price. in this case, the it's the civil authorities. i felt bad. it was on this program that your late husband talked about jessie ventura disrespecting the seals which got him into a lawsuit. personally, not legally, how do you feel about this? >> it has been one of the most extraordinarily draining experiences, truly. last time i was on your show, i said i didn't give him much thought. that's true, but that doesn't mean -- people think in a lawsuit your lawyers handle. >> you're involved. >> you have to review every document and go through every emotional hurdle. the trial itself, and i talk about the trial in american wife also. the trial itself was so emotionally draining and so frustrating, and i've heard the

interviews of the jurors after, and i find it very frustrating because i guess i was supposed to be emotionless. i don't know how you do that when your murdered husband is up there. >> i said from the beginning that the governor should not have said what he said and then let it go. that's my opinion. the book is doing very well. big best seller.

live from america's head quarters. good evening. here's what happening. texas remains on alert tonight for severe weather. this on the heels of deadly storms that claimed at least 11 lives yesterday. the governor has declared four counties disaster areas. one of the hardest hit areas with us garland. the it was hit by an ef 4 tornado. that means wind gusts can exceed

200 miles per hour. eight people were killed in garland. at least 600 homes were damaged. ralette was also hard hit. fortunately, no loss of life. winter weather is also part of this storm system you're looking at with heavy rain from new mexico to the texas panhandle. authorities say if you don't have to go out, stay home. and flood waters have killed seven people in missouri. that's a look at news. i'm kelly wright. legalized pot, colorado says it collected 2 million dollars off of it the first month of legalization there. i believe the form of addiction will cost the state more than it's taking in. i could be wrong. joining us a former congressman from rhode island and christopher kennedy, author of a book, "what addicts know".

both men were substance abusers at one time. i understand you're against legalization. why? >> i have a mood disorder and i'm in recovery because i'm an addict. one that has a for profit motto of hooking new consumers, they're going to target teenagers and make their money off of people like myself who are addicts, and i don't think this is the kind of thing that makes your country or families stronger. >> but the pro pot people say it's not addictive. it's less harmful than alcohol and it's unfair to have alcohol legal and pot not. and you say? >> i say two wrongs don't make a right. and the marijuana today is in beverage form, candy form. you can eat it. now, i was an asthmatic. i didn't go down the rout of marijuana, but if it were available to me and i could have eaton it like they could in

colorado, it would have been a different game. people think smoking a couple of joints every other weekend. this is a whole new commercial industry. the profit motive will be to marketing this. we want demand reduction, and yet, this is going to be increasing the demand for add t addictive sub bans. that's my problem. >> mr. loughlin, you're a libertarian kind of guy. you're against the legalization of marijuana? >> i'm primarily against it because of what it could do to our children. legallati legalization will increase pref lan lance. one in six people smoke it chronically. it gets rid of ambition and

leads to mood disorders. it's not a good drug. it's not a good party of policy to legalize it. >> both of you are democrats and fairly liberal. i don't know your politics as precisely as i should, perhaps, but the liberal wing, they're the ones that are driving the legalization, all right? you see in colorado, for example, it breaks down, and there are libertarians. but why does the left want this substance? is it wood stock? >> medical marijuana was the initial one. i understand that. and it was pushed primarily because of the inner city. it's true, young african american males are getting targeted by police departments in the inner city in terms of arrests to show cops how to do drug busts, basically. legalization is not the answer to that issue. >> so that's why you think that

the -- >> i think so. >> do you concur? do you think it was a racial social issue that drove the left to want it? >> yes. i think it's driven by that. african americans, minorities are discriminated against throughout the justice system. so just by legalizing this, you're not going to get rid of the discrimination in the application of laws in this country. we should address that and make it a separate issue, not conflate addressing incarceration with the decriminalization and legalization. >> okay. but i will point out to both of you, and you both made points, but i have to run -- that the neighborhoods that have been most impacted by drug addiction in this country have been black neighborhoods. all right? >> that we know of. >> well, they have been. and that crack epidemic when all the mandatories were put in, that wiped out a generation, and that's why that was there. >> and, bill, there are eight

times in liquor stores in minority neighbors as white neighbors. the same thing will happen with marijuana. it will target the most vulnerable in our country. >> excellent point. thank you for coming in. excellent points. >> coming up, a hollywood actress leaves hollywood to become a spiritual leader. mother tdolores hart. >> you have a spiritual awakening? >> the minute i put my foot on the ground, something in me fell in love. >> and later, he's a hollywood icon who has seen it all. earnest borg nine. >> put on the blue suit, huh in. >> i'm just a fat little man. >> you're not ugly. >> i'm ugly. i'm ugly. ma, leave me alone. >> we'll be right back. ♪ and then santa's workers zapped it right to our house.

and maria had been around the hollywood scene for a long time. we went to a dinner with two guys. she brought me to the dressing room, and she said dolores, i think we should just wait here, let them go home. >> so she was looking out for you? >> she was, indeed. i learned very soon that the values of being in hollywood were not what people thought they were. >> your name? >> nelly. >> what time did you get through work? >> why? >> well, i thought i might meet you. >> what do you think i am? >> i'd like to find out. >> so now you're 24 years old, you have a nice hollywood career going, beautiful woman. you're engaged, and all of a sudden you have a spiritual awakening? >> i had come to ra gina love much earlier when i was in the play, "the pleasure of his company" in new york.

dolores, what's wrong with you, and he said, just tell me you love me. obviously of course i love you, and he said something isn't right. why don't you go back to the monastery that you love so well and get a little time off. he had no idea what he was sending me into, because i went back there and i talked to the lady that time and she said yes, you can come. >> and that was it? >> yes. >> so you're there, and then, obviously, that 50 years later, you're still there? >> yes. >> are you surprised on how much spirituality has been diminished in the united states? religion is mocked? >> the only time it surprises me is until you start reading history and you realize that at every period in history where there's been a major change, there's always been a loss of religious values as they have

been known, because something new has to come in. i believe that's where the pope now is seeing things. >> do you believe in evil? >> i do, indeed. i think evil is the loss of love. >> the loss of love? >> yes. whenever something evil happens, it's because of a person's refuse to love. >> thank you for speaking to us? extraordinary woman, and mother dolores has a book called "the ear of the heart". she no donates all the proceeds charity. >> a report coming up next.

and the vast majority of them believe this is not only a possibility but a likelihood. >> all right. so some nation, russia, putin, china, or even the the terrorists, isis, iranians, they'll hack into our system? >> they have done it. the chinese and the russians are already inside. this comes from people high-ranking people in the national security agency. they've got what amount to cyber time bombs that are ready to go off. >> so they're working toward bringing down our system? >> they are already in a position that with a key stroke, they could take down -- >> why don't they do it? >> -- the power friday. the there are so many interlocking interests, they're probably not going to do it. that's the good news. there are others who are not quite as technically capable like the iranians and the north koreans and isis.
