joe? mr. morial, i have a fifth alternative to that nbc news/"wall street journal" poll, and i'm curious what you think. from the very beginning, i certainly have tried to understand where professor gates was coming from, and as willie geist and i said early on, if we were his age, had his life experiences and somebody had been knocking on our door after we were exhausted coming back from a trip from asia i would probably yell at hip, too, and say, get the hell out of my house. but here's a fifth option. that neither of these men were in the wrong. professor gates was justified in his anger. officer crowley was just doing his job. and doesn't these men, in an unfortunate situation, that is now blown up and become a big political issue. what do you think of that? >> perhaps -- you know, joe, it's interesting, because i think, and i've said this. i think where the line was crossed, i don't think the person that made the complaint or the call to 911 was at fault. i don't think that the sergea

so joe, jr. really took on some of that parenting role. and, you know, i guess he was just the most handsome guy, you know, vivacious charismatic. if he had lived, you know, he would have run for office and i don't think -- i'm not sure john would have been elected president but joe, sr. really thought and i've seen it time and time again. he thought all four sons would become president. he wanted to outdo the addams family. he set out -- i'm the cocoon and my sons are the butterflies. his life became his sons' and he was determined somewhat of an anger at fdr after his falling out with fdr during world war ii to outdo the roosevelts and the adams and outdo everybody so i think he would have pushed those sons to all be president if he could. thanks for coming. >> wonderful. it was a great talk. thank you so much.

joe jackson pointed a finger at dr. conrad murray last night, though he didn't mention his son's doctor by name. police have said murray is not a suspect. joe jackson told cnn his son's doctor gave him something to make him sleep and he never woke up. and he claimed the doctor ran after the singer died. >> i'm thinking there's foul play. that's what i'm thinking. >> murray hasn't responded to jackson's accusation. his attorney denied earlier reports the doctor was ever in hiding. >> katherine jackson, michael's mom, could be contesting the will. >> there is a no contest clause in this will stating, if you contest the will you get nothing. there's certainly an indication she wants some guidance from the court because it appears her lawyers are possibly going to challenge the validity of the will with respect to those executors so that presumably she could control the estate. >> michael jackson's life at the end was being controlled and manipulated. >> aeg told me two weeks ago that jackson had agreed to 31 shows, then ag

we know that the father, joe jackson, beat him viciously.mocked the little boy, making fun of his face, his nose, and all these years people make fun of jackson for all of his plastic surgery. but this all started way back when with his father belittling him for the way he looked. i'm not saying it's not weird. i'm saying that it's understandable in a certain twisted way. and bottom line, with jackson's own attempt to keep his children safe in the hands of his own mother, he is unwittingly seemingly set up a catch-22. they'll go right back to his father if his will is followed. >> i think you make a good point. there's a possibility that this internal strife could be played out in the court under the idea that the children's interests are not being cared for, would open the door to other contestants to custody of the children. note that the will provides for a successor guardian, diana ross. i don't know how that would play into this. obviously, there's the possibility that the ex-wife could have a say in that as well. >> oh, lord. now r now

as far as joe jackson's claims, joe jack -- óóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóó >>> welcome back.ing insight into the mind of a man accused of killing his entire family. just released court documents say chris coleman sent text messages to his mistress the day of his family's funeral. this is the guy from columbia, illinois, accused of strangling his wife and two sons. his sons, ages 9 and 11. he's accused of strangling, choking the life out of them with his bare hands as they slept in their bed. here's a picture of his mistress. she's a waitress at a dog track in florida. was friends with his wife since high school. well, now she is working with the cops. we'll take your calls, 1-877-tell-hln. joining me to talk about this, former prosecutor, doug burns is with us. psychotherapist stacey kaiser. and by phone, nicholas, for the dispatch. nicholas, you're teg me this guy can see his wife and his two sons in a coffin one minute and he's going to be text messaging love notes to his mistress the next? >> that's what police are saying. they're saying on the day of the wake, and on the

i agree with joe. audience and sort of think you're in a silo where you can discuss people and be a little blue collar talking to blue collar people and be a wall street guy while talking to wall street guys. all that chameleon stuff they can't do it anymore because they're on the internet and everything they say is judged through the new prism of what it plays like on a national stage, the downfall of every speaker. >> mike barnicle, we have concerns about somebody who would think one group of people could do better than other groups of people but seriously, come on. who really thinks that she's a racist? >> no, these hearings used to have the potential for providing some education to the layman out there, in terms of what guess goes on in the supreme court, what sort of people are nominated. now you first have to strip yourself of all personality. you have to get up there like an atomoton, speak in rigidly boring sentences and, to tina's point, you cannot have had a life outside of the bench where yo

he specifically did not want his children at the hands of joe jackson. and we see it happening before our very eyes. because of what he said in his will, giving guardianship to his mother, who's married to his father, has he unwittingly engineered this fiasco? >> nancy, i hope that the courts take this into their hands considering the best interests of the child. even though joe jackson has another residence, primarily in vegas, since they are married he technically can be in the home and have some influence over the children. i think it's going to be very important for the courts to really assess how much contact a prior abuser and somebody who michael jackson himself didn't want around his kids will eventually have. dddddddú so i think, again, it talks to the complexity of the relationship and the fact that even when children are abused, they still have ambivalent and mixed feelings towards the parents who abuse them. >> back to ellie jostad, reports surfacing 10,000 pills in the six months leading up to his death that he ingested, including up

you heard joe jackson there alleges foul play.ve had the lapd saying, basically, they're not ruling out homicide. what do we really know? >> well, i think what the lapd chief said was that they're waiting for the coroner's report to corroborate the cause of death. that implies they have a strong suspicion about what that is. and that suspicion, of course, all along has been drugs. saying foul play is not inconsistent with what the l.a. police chief is saying. they're clearly looking at the abuse of prescription drugs. that doesn't mean murder or perhaps negligent homicide, manslaughter. if doctors were overprescribing and using aliases and giving him huge amounts of drugs, you could have a crime. >> in the last 24 hours, you have uncovered some new information about jackson's history with drugs. walk us through what you found? >> we actually got this confidenti confidential document. it's from the santa barbara county sheriff's office from 2004. a police document, and inside it has two confidential interviews with former security

>> well, it's easy for people to remember, joe. >> mrrpt tell her i said hi. thanks, joe., you're all i have. jack's wife was with me at merrill lynch in 1981. i was the youngest employee ever at merrill lynch. i was 8 years old. it's not my fault! there's nobody here. it's me, the crickets and mac. i'm sorry. >> would you please put some microphones on mac so everybody else can hear him laughing, too? >> you know what this is going to be like? this is going to be gelman. i'm kind of like regis and you're kind of gelman.. >> i'll take that.. >> and you have to be kelly. >> i will take that any day of the week. sign me up. don, your point was the real estate factor. >> real estate to market, they have all of their real estate portfolio at 100% of their loan amounts and 100% of value and that is unrealistic. and they are heavily invested in the real estate sector and that has been hit, is being hit and is going to be hit harder.. so the real question is, as we get into third quarter and fourth quarter when we start seeing commercial foreclosures, then where does that put ge

after all i am joe shmo! so the eyes of the common man, so, consequently, i went on and i bought my first house. and years later i found my first house was in jefferson county -- my guy -- and jefferson county at that time was geographically the population center of the united states. so, now, the story is emerging we have the eye of america with the camera with the most typical community in america, growing up on the banks of the mississippi, and he's named joe shmo. the story starts to emerge. here in the midwest, we are the river that separates the east from the west, frequently in st. louis one thing i like about it -- and if you grew up there you could attest to this -- is basically they call it the last city of the east or the first city of the west, why the gateway arch is there. so if joe shmo grew up in st. louis i guess you could say it is like where superman came from which is krypton. so we would specialize as a youth off of route 66 of getting lost, that was my sole purpose. getting lost and then

. >> let's bring in joe terranova. let me see joe on the screen. there you are. so i am told you own microsoft and am ex. let's start with the microsoft story. intel hits the ball out of the park. microsoft gets slammed. what does it mean? >> -- buying microsoft for the story of the quarter. i'm buying microsoft for the story going forward, the back end of '09 and 2010, i think the story will be phenomenal. windows 7, microsoft, getting aggressive again. they're stimulating innovation and technology. i like that. i like what they're doing with apple and google, basically saying, hey, we're going to war with you here. bing, they're taking xbox, ramping up the xbox. i like the strategy for '09 and 2010. i've been long microsoft. i'm staying long microsoft. >> i don't mean to be argumentati argumentative. you've got to question the management. you've got to question their investment of spare cash. you've got to question the businesses they're in. once again, if it's pc driven in no small part, why does a company like intel come out with gang buster beat and microsof

>> there's a double standard with sarah palin and joe biden. i mean, it's something that i think if you look at recently, how some of the things that joe biden said that has caused the administration some problems, that would have been a valid thing to cover during the campaign, that he has the propensity of gaffes, it was sort of laughed off and not taken seriously. if sarah palin said something that wasn't very smart or correct, it was front page news. >> and you have pointed out in the past, jane, that female columnists like maureen dowd were particularly tough on sarah palin. >> well, it's true and sally had a column, i found odd, a bit of a misnomar and the column is all on news week and washington post.com. and how when her water broke and should have been home with the children and i have to say i don't think this is ideology, i think it's sexism. i didn't see anybody saying that the obama's kept-- that president obama kept the kids up too late. i've seen people questioning michelle obama's hand bag and probably soon her parenting skills

good morning, joe.at metro begins its zero tolerance policy when it comes to its bus drivers and train operators using cell phones while operating the equipment. but in order to enforce this policy, they're goi to need some help from passengers. we asked them this morning, are you ready to step up? if you saw something like this, would you tell? >> sure. >> repter: really? >> yep. >> reporter: without question? >> without question. >> reporter: this video taken of a metro operator texting while operating a train in early june led to his suspension. it was taken by a passenger. and now metro has come up with a new policy, zero tolerance for train and bus operators who use cell phones or text while operating equipment. metro officials are looking to passengers to help them enforce the new rule. if you just happened to see something like that as you were boarding, would you report the driver? >> of course. absolutely. >> reporter: commuters we talked to say it's a new policy way overdue. >> i think it's go

joe frank garza. we couldn't believe it when gary tuchman learned new details, about how much money he was giving away. take a look. >> reporter: it literally paid to be loyal to this man. the former district attorney in texas who was extremely generous to his secretaries who he says watched his back. >> they were my eyes and ears. >> reporter: he says he wrote checks for hundreds of thousands of dollars. it may have quadrupled their income. cnn obtained records and garza paid $1.2 million to the three women over a five-year period, a bonus averaging $81,000 a year for county employees with salaries of $35,000 annually. >> i saw nothing wrong with it. >> reporter: anderson w so much money at stake the auditor says crime fighting could have happened. the sheer number of checks is fun issing. we will tell you more tomorrow on "360." anderson. >> how is this allowed to happen? we will have gary's full report tomorrow on "360." join the live chat at ac360.com. >>> coming up next the parents of more than a

didn't name her husband, joe jackson.e was asked by abc who should raise michael jackson's children. take a listen to his response. their grandmother katherine and i. yeah, there's no one else to do what we can do for them. keep them all together and make them happy. >> jim, it is not clear that katherine and joe actually live together at this point and frankly there are questions about what joe did for his own children. is he hurting katherine jackson's case? >> he is not helping. i wonder why he is speaking out. since michael jackson's death, he said strange things at the b.e.t. awards and the day following he was hawking his own record label. it was clear when katherine jackson filed prior to a will being discovered, she filed for guardianship alone, not with joe jackson who lives in las vegas and does not live with katherine jackson in encino. in the will michael jackson made it clear he wants katherine jackson, alone. there are many allegations that michael jackson made about being physically and mentally abused. deb

barbara and joe, back to you. >>> thank you, jerry.reaking news, a body has been discovered inside a burning car. montgomery county police are at the scene right now in arlington road at bradley boulevard. >> news4's michael flynn just arrived. michael good morning. what can you tell us about what is going on out there? >> reporter: good morning, joe, a lot of detectives out here, emergency workers. you can see this charred minivan in the distance there. this all happened just a little bit before 4:00 a.m. we're told a 911 call came in for a vehicle on fire. when emergency workers got here, they found the minivan fully engulfed in flames, when the fire was out, they found the body of what appears to be an adult. lucille bauer is joining me with the montgomery county police department. what are the basics? what can you tell us at this point? >> the call came in at 3:56 this morning for a car fire. when our officers arrived, they found a gray minivan fully engulfed in flames. fire rescue responded. as they were extinguishing the flames,

joe said he never beaten, only spain 10. katherine jackson action did more of this banking and he did because catherine was home more. -- joseph he never beat him, only spanked him. katherine jackson action did more of the spanking because she was home with the children more. >> we will be watching. we appreciate your time. you can see more of the exclusive interview on primetime: family secrets. that is tonight at 10:00 followed by abc 7 news. still >> another day to get outside and enjoy it, maybe take your lunch outside. >> today will probably be the best day trip to mars is pretty good, too. very, very low humidity. i do not say that very often this time of year. the increase in humidity the next few days. approaching 90 by thursday, hot and hazy. there is a chance of thunderstorms. we are fairly dry. we could use some rain. there are some chances on friday and saturday, but not great chances. >> thank you for joining us. s.

joe said there is no reason to own them. if you look at their books, karen, a lot of people on the street are scratching their heads still, even 12 hours or so after the earnings release not really knowing how the results actually came out. what we do know is investment banking was down 7%. retail banking was down 19%. these core businesses are down. >> well, they are down if you think about the quarter that goldman sachs had. where did they take market share from? they take it from weakened competitors. that would be somebody just like a citi bank.k. it's so noisy it's hard to know what's going on. you had some asset sales that were gains there. and you don't know what it looks like going forward. citigroup is in the process of being dismantled. so it's hard to really get comfortable. if you want to play the financials coming back i agree very much with joe i'd be in bank of america or jp morgan because you don't know what the citigroup play is. >> and that really raises questions about the fate. we talked to charlie about
