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

murdered half his own children, had 30 or 40 children. he was a very busy guy. this is what helped me realize that he probably was worried about being assassinated all the time. and that led. people used to say when i first got the role how are you going to play him had it's going to be so much fun. >> i'm like what are you talking about. this is hamlet. herod's herod. i thought he must sleep with a weapon in his bed, he must. if is that paranoid. that helped me to play the whole first scene. anything you learn throughout the whole experience? >> i love morocco. >> that's good. i had been to morocco 20 years previous and i loved it then in dan tan tangiers. >> did you get it keep the costume. >> that beard.

violent crime. how are this doing. >> they are doing very well. >> did you allow them to he see the movie? >> i think they are still young. they are still in elementary school as you said. we did watch one of the first trailers and we spent about 45 minutes going offer just the trailer alone frame by frame so they wouldn't get caught off guard if they were at a friend's house and it was on. >> if i'm on the street, march. >> deadliest job here, man. >> you got some sort of savior complex. >> i just want to get the bad guys but if i can't see them i can't shoot them. >> all these guys they know your name. they feel invincible up there. >> they are if they think they're. >> keep banging on the long guns. >> how much time did you spend talking to each of them boy and girl. >> boy and girl. >> about the murder, the actual crime? because children have obviously, i mean, when they are affected that directly and deeply, how much time did you spend with them and what did you say? >> we talked about it a lot. when they have questions, i trite to let them know there is no question they can't

ask me and we will talk about anything. the questions obviously some of the things are the same things adults ask. what's wrong with this person? why would they do that? we talk about good and evil and bad decisions and my belief that god gives us all free will and that means that he gives it to people who choose evil as well. and then, you know, my daughter and son, they 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 we talk about that in american wife, too. it's interesting to see their responses. they are different people. >> my name is matt, we met 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. >> oh, wow. the marines saved our ass plenty of times how are you? are you holding up? >> i'm just grateful to be alive. why don't you come down to the v.a. sometime. the guys would love it they

all know who the legend is. >> you are a christian woman. and, you know, you wear the cross proudly around your neck did. you talk about forgiveness in that? because i don't know -- boy, you know, you have to -- our religion dictates that we have to forgive. i always say well, you know, the person has to ask for forgiveness. maybe i'm on the wrong side of that you have explained that or talked about that county kids? >> we have had some really deep conversations about that. and i actually had a deep conversation with my pastor about it on a different issue. and just respecting the time we have here there is a story in the bible. they decided to do their own thing, not listen to god. they walked for 40 years and said god please forgive me. he said my child i forgave you the minute did you it but that doesn't mean you can go back. >> this murderer will pay, his life is over. >> that's what we talk about honestly just to finish that thought with you we did talk about that. the fact that we can try to

forgive the person while we condemn the act and while we also vehemently want their punishment for what they did. >> they have to pay the price. that's usually dolled out by the deity. >> late husband talking about jesse ventura disrespecting the seals which got him into a lawsuit. just personally, not legally, but personally how do you feel about this? >> you know, it has been one of the most extraordinarily draining experiences truly. the last time i was on your show i said i didn't give him much thought and that's true. that doesn't mean -- people think you are in a lawsuit your lawyers handle it not necessarily the case. >> you are involved. >> oh my gosh, you have to review every document and go through every emotional hurdle. the trial itself and i talk about the trial in american wife, too. the trial itself was so emotionally training and so frustrating and, you know, i heard the interviews of the

jurors afterward. and i find it very frustrating too. i don't know how do you that when your murdered husband is up there. >> governor ventura should not have said what he said and let it go. that's my opinion. the book is doing very well. big best seller. american wife. i want everybody to check it out. and if we can ever do anything for you and your family, ms. kyle, you let me know, all right? >> thank you. i appreciate you having me. >> coming up on this special edition of the o'reilly factor. former rhode island congressman patrick kennedy and peterson christopher both recovering substance abusers speak out about the dangers of marijuana to our system. >> two most damaging drugs alcohol and nicotine. we don't need another drug. we don't need another drug. it will increase

it still doesn't feel real. our time together was... so short. well, since you had

progressive's total loss coverage, we were able to replace your totaled bike with a brand-new one. the tank...the exhaust... well, she looks just like roxie! you know, i'll bet she's in a better place now. flo: i know she is. i feel it in my heart. [ heavenly choir sings ] actually, the old roxie's over at the junkyard. flo: kkh-kkh! getting you back on a brand-new bike. now, that's progressive.

tonight, legalized pot. colorado says they collected $2 million off pot sales in january the first month of legalization out there. i believe the amount of damage being done to colorado in the form will cost them much more than taking in. i could be wrong. joining us is patrick kennedy and author of the book what addicts no ten lessons from recovery. both men were substance abusers at one time. mr. kennedy, i understand you are against the

legalization of marijuana, why? >> >> i have a mood disorder and i'm also in recovery because i'm also an addict. and, with another drug being commercialized, one that actually has the for profit motive of hooking new consumers. they are going to target teenagers. they are going to make their money off of people like myself who are addicts and i don't think this is the kind of thing that makes our country stronger and families stronger. >> pro-pot people say it's not addictive, it's harmless. less harmful than alcohol. 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. it's in candy form. you can eat it. now, i was was an azamat tuck so i didn't go down the route of marijuana. but if it were available to me today and i could have eaten it like they can in

colorado, it would have been a totally different game. this is a scary thing. people think the smoking couple joints every other weekend. this is a whole new commercial industry. that is what should frighten people. profit motive will be to marketing this. we want demand reduction. and yet this is going to be increasing the demand for addictive substance. that's my problem with it. >> mr. lawford, you are kind of a libertarian kind of guy, but you are against the legalization of marijuana as well? >> i'm primarily against it because of what it might do to our young people. the two most damaging drugs on the planet are both legal alcohol and nicotine. we don't need another legal drug. legalization will increase prevalence. our youth are at risk. we have studies that demonstrate not only the addictive capabilities of marijuana but the difficulty in treating people who are addicted to marijuana. one in six young people smoke it connickly. chronic use of marijuana obliterates ambition and leads to potential

psychosis. all sorts of mood disorders. it's not a good drug. it's not a matter of policy to legalize. >> both of you guys are democrats and fairly liberal. i don't know your politics as precisely as i should, perhaps. but the the liberal wing, mr. lawford, they are the ones that are driving the legalization. you see in colorado, for example, it breaks down and there are libertarians. it's not all. but why does the left so fervently want this substance? is it woodstock? does it go back there. >> m initial way i understand that. george soros pushed this thing 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 left. >> could you concur,

mr. kennedy? you think it was a variable social issue? >> yeah. >> that drove the left to want it? >> yes. i think it's driven by the racial -- keep in mind, african-americans, minorities are demonstrated against throughout the justice system. just by legalizing, this you are north 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 very good points tonight 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 of those mandatories were put, in that wiped out a generation. and that's why it was there. >> and, bill, there are 8 times as many liquor stores in minority neighborhoods than be there are in white

neighborhoods. >> you got it. >> the same thing is going to happen with legalized marijuana. it's going to target the most vulnerable in our country. >> excellent point. i can't thank you guys enough for coming in. >> thanks. >> you made excellent points. coming up a holiday actress who appeared in films with elvis presley leaves holiday to become a -- leaves hollywood. >> you are a beautiful woman you are engaged and all of a sudden you have a spiritual awakening? >> bill, the minute i put my foot on the grounds, something in me fell in love. >> and, later, he is a hollywood icon who has seen it all. >> ernest borgnine. >> blue suit, gray suit, i'm just a fat little man, fat ugly man. >> you are not ugly. >> i'm ugly. i'm ugly, i'm ugly. ma, leave me alone. >> right back.

>> you said what do you do? a week before he had been on the ed sullivan show and had been a big controversy but you being a college student you didn't hear about it. >> i did not have the slightest idea what that was until i went back to school, after the girls saw or heard about my interview and they said what? you are nuts. ♪ >> very, very sweet and a very humble in his own way and he was a mother's boy. >> once you found out it was elvis presley and now you are in this movie and you are shooting the film and you have a kissing scene and you are his romantic interest, was there anything between you? >> well, the kissing scene was with 200 people. and the moment we got lip to lip, the director said cut, oh my gosh, i make a mess of this? >> i think this is one can i handle by myself.

♪ >> but you guys didn't have anything off the screen or anything like that? >> no. we did not. in fact, he asked me out and i said elvis, i would love to do this but i don't believe in mixing work and pleasure. >> really? you said that at 18? >> i said i have got to get up at 5:00 in the morning to be here and ready at 8:00. i said i would be a wreck if i went out at night on a work day. >> so then you did a series of other movies where the boys are and then you would king creole back with elvis. >> hi. >> hello. >> don't give me that i saw you looking. >> you are pretty sure of yourself, aren't you? >> not always. >> did you become a is secular person in the holiday tradition? >> well, i met a wonderful friend maria cooper who was the daughter of gary cooper.

and maria had been around the holiday 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 wait here and let them go home. >> 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. >> what's your name? >> nelle. >> what time do you get through work? >> why? >> i thought i might meet you. >> what do you think i am? >> i would like to find out. >> so now you are 24 years old. you have a nice hollywood career going. beautiful woman. you are engaged and all of a sudden you have a spiritual awakening? >> i had come to regina -- much earlier when i was in the play the pleasure of his company in new york. and a friend of mine told me that there was a place that

i could go up north for a little rest because with the play was in its ninth month. bill, the minute i put my foot on the ground, something in me fell in love. so i went to see the abbis. mother benedict. i said to her, what would you think of someone like me as part of your community? and she said dolores, you go back and do your hollywood thing. you are too young for this. >> and i said great. that's the best news i have heard. >> you didn't get it out of your mind? >> oh, no, no. when i married don, i said, you know, don, something is bothering me. he said let's get engaged and i will make it at peace. we went to a party. it was an engagement party. on the way home as we are driving down the street. he steps on the brakes and says, dolores, what's wrong

with you. just tell me you love me? of course i love you. and he said something is not right. why don't you go back to monastery that you like 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 lady abbis that time and she said yes, you can come. >> and that was it? >> yes. >> so you are there and then obviously, 50 years later you are still there? >> yes. >> are you surprised on how much spirituality has been diminished in the united states. secularism is rising and religion is mocked? >> the only time it surprises me until you start reading history and you realize that at every period in history where there has been a major change, there has 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 persons refuse to love. >> mother, thanks for speaking with us today. >> extraordinary woman. and mother dolores has a book called "the ear of the heart." and mother dolores don't united states all the proceeds to charity. >> when we come back, ted koppel with a new book called a crippling cyber attack on the u.s.a. would attack on the u.s.a. would not be ♪ ♪ (cell phone rings) where are you? well the squirrels are back in the attic. mom? your dad won't call an exterminator...
