ne this morning, "access hollywood" reportin that the s angeles county departme o childrennd family services is conducting an investigation into the welfare of michael jackson's three young children. the investigation reportedly will include loing into whetherho children had a exposure to drug use by their fathern their home and who woul care for them if the children grandmother cat rib ja katherine jason is not able to look in on this. good morning to th two ofyou. do you think there i anything more to this, avid?

you think this is simply routine in a circumstance or is this michael jackson oriented? this is a lot. ian't say this is routine. there's nothing about this situation that's routine. you would expec they would interview ople a try to figure o you the what was going on in thathousehold. because it is michael jackso i think there is probably greater scrutiny placed upon this. is judge is ultimaty going to make a dision who gets custody. i think any input from any credible soue the judge can consider will be helpful. thisoesn'turprise me. where it will go, i don'tknow. >> i only we had chris cal balls. right? jay, wit regard to what ty find, let's say they fi the children were aware of drug use. how m theigh out -- i mean play out? would that mean micel jackson's wish would not be respected? would it mean that the court stepin andputs these three kids in custody? i know these are big "ifs." >> michael jackson's wishes are important but they a not the most importa thin the mo important thing is t welfare t children.

if they observed drug use by their father depending on how horrific it was if that were ue, there might be therapy that would be sgested for em. was miael jackson's mother present, was kherine jackson present ring this? that might be another ctor. anothethg they'll look a is t just how they grew up with michael ckson but they'll also want to know what kathere jason is about,hat is it liken her husband, iser usclean, is it- is it a respectable place are the children going to be okay there? it almost like a normaluman being. both par are dead, children and family services want t make re they'll go to a rlative or somee else, that the place they're going to also a cent place for them. >> her comes a topithat , the e-old question, nature ver nurture. inhis case theiological mother, debbie roe, who is considering stepping in. no definitive decisionn whether she wants to get custody of these ks, the two older ones being heriological children, or e world they've

known with kathene jackson, a very doting grandmother on these ds. is there any precedent as to the norm, howhis is handled? i thk under the law in california, the biologil mother is given preference almost exclusively. i think the burden is on anybod else who might get custody of e children to prove th they are a more suible parent than the biological mothe this is an interesting case beuse michael jackson really isn't even a biological figure to these cildren either. from what we he the sperm was donated by another urce. the grandmother, altugh she is figure their lives a habeen for all thes years, she really doesn't even have a biological claim to hem. it is fascinating. >> but it's all ty' known. >> you have a thd child there that she i not the biological mother of that child. ihink a judge will not be incled to separate these three children. if debbie rowe wants these kids, she'll have to probably ta all three. >> she already said -- it was phrased in a strange w -- "i

don't mind taking the third child." >> that's kind of weird. "i don't mind"? i'm parapasing. it wn't "i welcome the youngest il blanket." but i tnk a judge will keep all three together. grandmother seems be a loving grandmother. the judge some big decisions and it is going to be a lot of lawsuits and a lot of legal action goingn about this. >> that'sor sue. >> it is a lot ooney involved. there an incrediblemount money involved. >> oh, yeh, there's that little detail. we don't haveime to g into that but people can ke from it what theywant. program remind, join us here on msnbc for special live coverage of micel jackson's memorial svice a day on tuesday. meante this morning, how to get free stuff. e you lisning? especially when it comes to the summer enterinment joining meere with some ideas, aol consumer advisor gee gentleman lewis. this is a fun topic t talk about. it can get pricey to go to museums and parks.

is there some way to find deals? >> yeah when.com. as in when ishis t happeng in my area. it is all zip code driven. there is such a spikein demand for free event i was really struck bywhat we were able to find ther there's something caed apple camp at appletores across the couny, kids can go for three-ur workshops, use the equipmenake video totly free. another new one, bowl for free. you sign up, regier you kids and they e-mail these couponevery sunday fo your free pses for the week. at can save up ove the course of summer. regal cinemas isfferin free family film festival, 10 on tuesdays and wednesdays in the morning. they hav free films. taet has sometng called sponsored ppenin. the renowned art museums acss the country th have free days in some cases, free hours. absolutely no admission. pretty neatwork around there.

maeenowd writes "caribo barbie is one nutty puper. sarahanted everyone to know th she's notavng fun and people are beingmean to her and she doesn't feel like she's finishing her first term as governor." i feel like going me. that was kind of -- wow! do y think that's fair? >> yeah. , you know, everythg's fair in politics. but look, imean i thk that rah palin packaged is t ve differently, saying she's saving

the state moneyo now they don't have to spend all this ney on invesgaons. i thinkhe made an economic decision. she's about to be a very weahy woman. her family's going to beery wealthy. $7 million bookdeal. she can make aot of money on speeches. i think shewasn't gettg any satisfaction, i don't think, from running thestate. she was gtting nitpicked he own cotituents there in alaska. i thk from her point of view th makes sense. the political pcess isooking at her and wondering is itmart or is it spi tend to think if she has any political ambitns in the fure she's just buried them. >> if you lten to the statement, as we we doing live on friday when it all came do, she talked about setting thins asid bcause of t lame duc status. n't understand why she codn have justcontinued, finished out her ter and said i'm not going to behave by this lame duckgornor orothers who

take these international trade trips, bilk money out of states or whatever constients you're representi. why couldn't she havjust done that? >> well, first of all, taking international trade trip is not necessary a waste of mon. mean governor do get contracts. is all part othe established way at politicians buness. she coul have just bided her time but i thi she's trying to cut short thes various investations i think there isone that could ll bear fruit and that is whether she and her husband funneled statecontracts to the company that built their very beautiful home i think on lake victoria which todd, her husband, said he builtith a couple of h buddies. that stuff is starting to look ke it could create real problemsor h. andalaska's very far away. if she want to be in the game at a -- and i think she does ug herself veryicely into today's celebty lture. i man she's like paris hilton. she' famous because she's

famous. does she hold offi anymor no. but she can sti command a constituency out there among the faithful and campaning among the folks she called the "real americans." i think she could be a pretty divisive figure in american politi. >> do you think ashe on the heels of saying that h signation is about cntry, you thin she can do more fr the republic party ithe lower 48 than she does in aska? >> she can raise money for the party but jdging by the reaction of the more serious politicians within the party, i don't ow that they see her as an set now. e's a little radioacte, so i think ey're going to be careful about howthey handle her. i don't think anydy wants to attach t star to hers. we'll see if that changes downhe roa though. you never know. you heardf a guy med richard nixo terms of political comebacks? >> yeah. but he was a solid politician really he wasn't my favore but he had a lot more credibility and

expertise than sar palin. and he didn't quithalf-way through being governor of california. >> dy noted elr clift, thank you s much. >> okay. stil ahead, the lates on a breaking story. a pedestrian brid collapses following a firewks show. the latest on the juries there. also, anher breaking story. two monorails colliding at disney wld in orlando.
