so that's where the phobia kicks in. >> and elizabeth, what are you going through right now? like for you to go through the institute? >> it was -- like you're on a college campus and you met a lot of new people and you learned a lot of new things. yeah. >> what perception of math did you have before, and then after what perception do you have now? >> well, before it was kind of like boring, like math. and then after going to valdez you really like see how it works. and you have a lot of good teachers, and so you learn it better and you understand it more. >> is math fun for you now? >> i think so, yeah. it is. >> what do you want to do when you're grown up? >> me? >> yeah. >> i kind of want to be a business major. but yeah, math is important. >> can you imagine hearing that, that somebody at the eighth-grade level wants to be a business major? the institute must have had something to do with that. what do you think, maria? >> absolutely. it really does inspire students, and it helps them believe in themselves. and you know, my daughter participated this summer, and now she's

and so i had almost a phobia about it, and i had a friend who was in the stage show of the rocky horror show, and so i knew tim curry, and i had met some of these people, and i was out in california, and i was set to do another movie. my film career was already underway, and i came by just to say hi, and they said, "oh, what a good idea. would you read this?" you know, it's just like one of those crazy stories, and i was really funny, and the thing about janet is that nobody before that had figured out a way to make her funny, and for me, she was kind of a parody of every ingenue that i had played up to that point. and they said, "well"-- i said, "yeah, but i can't sing." and they said, "well, can you sing happy birthday? and can you hit this? and can you"-- and i thought, "you know what? to--my fear of singing is complete ego involvement. it's just being self-conscious. everybody can sing; everybody can dance, some people, much, much better than others, but you shouldn't be-- that's a natural kind of thing. "if i get myself into this situation, "surely, they'll give me drugs or alcohol

joining us from austin, texas fox news analyst karl rove partly responsible for fox owe phobia.ou know it is your fault, mr. rove. >> i thought it was all your fault. i'm willing to accept part of the blame. isn't that amazing snarky dana milbank who writes a column several days a week that is bitter and brittle and nasty to people on the center right of politics he has to call doug shone a nominal democrat. was joe trippi who ran howard dean's campaign, you know, not enough of a democrat for mr. milbank, kirsten powers who writes columns advocating the democrat line and disagreeing with republican line, is she not enough of a democrat because she generally keeps her columns focused on the issues and not on the snarky little personal sniping that dana milbank has made specialty of at "the washington post"? i mean, you know, i love this. here is my injunction. this is worthy of a white board. dana milbank, he should stop taking yourself so seriously or be consistent. if you are upset with people making a joke, then why don't you go out there and be serious about all the people wh

some homo phobia, some sense on the part of the people who live here that people come to halloween to gawk and make fun that should not be acceptable anywhere in the city. >> people come to the castro for halloween because its the castro. they come for the people watching and the party holding a concert elsewhere in the city will not lure people away. >> its tough because i remember the days when we tried to have halloween at the civic center and said to anybody who was thinking about coming, don't come to the castro go to civic center. i checked out civic center and the castro and there were more people in the castro than at civic center. people didn't want to go to civic center. it was not a venue where people were ready to party. >> what i think we need to do is scale it down by closing off the entry points. charge a fee based on whether you are wearing a costume and make it free for the neighborhood. you can turn it into a parade like in los angeles and new york city. obviously increasing police throughout the crowd and not just on the out skirts would make a huge difference. >> t

and increase what it calls the security phobia that is sweeping america. >> if one of their attacks succeeds, it's not going to have the impact of 9/11, but if five or ten or 15 attacks of theirs succeed, then cumulatively it's going to have a much greater effect on the country. >> sophisticated bombs and a slick web site seem to be terror's new weapons of choice. mark phillips, cbs news, london. >> back home the 42 million americans planning to drive this week may get a shock at the pump. the price of gas has gone up 5 cents in two weeks to an average of $2.87 a gallon. manuel gallegus has more on the higher prices and their impact on consumers. >> reporter: this thanksgiving, the number of people hitting the road is expected to rise more than 11% over last year. but they won't be celebrating prices at the pump. >> they're ridiculous i think. i mean, it takes... i spend over $100 a week in gas. >> wholesale gasoline prices are up 27 cents a gallon since september 1, a period when the price usually drops, but oil prices have risen because of a declining dollar. >> it's really inexspins -- in

. >> have you thought about the phobias and the fears? >> guy could do that. the most common fear of animals by far is a fear of snakes. how many people in the united states die from snakebites? maybe 10 people the most nine -- dangers animal by far is a dog. you are twice as likely to be killed by a dog and 100 times more likely to be seriously injured or maimed and 5 million people are bitten but at every year and 400,000 1/2 to go to the emergency room. this is a great example of how of pollution does affect our attitude. we have a stone age fear of snakes when in reality the most dangerous is the dog. so phobias are interesting because they take out of the evolutionary heritage. >> but the rational fears come if they are irrational when do they stop? >> given death may have and destruction that for example, 80,000 people per year are taken to hospital emergency rooms because they tripped over their dog. [laughter] the biggest source of injuries for older americans is tripping over your dog. [laughter] other questions? >> >> i have only read the first 56 th

i did the research and the amount of islamic phobia, the white on black, there's a lot of divisive talkat comes from the far right and i think that she's kind of the face of it and she also makes statements that are very hurtful and contribute to that, that kind of a state where we're moving backwards, intolerance in all religion and race. that's an issue for me. >> do you worry about her politically? do you think she can come out of the republican party and we showed a poll out there that said if the primary were held today, she would be the republican choice. do you think they could give president obama a run for his money? >> i hope she's the choice. >> be sure to lean forward with "the last word" each night as lawrence o'donnell takes on the day's most compelling stories. "the last word with lawrence o'donnell" airs week nights at 10:00 p.m. eastern only on msnbc, the place for politics. >>> a football coach gets the ax. votsto puts the "v" in mvp and the heat are on a cold streak. the san diego chargers owned the skies last night against the denver broncos. your first look at sport

man i lived in poland for twelve years ok i still speak polish better than russian so i know the phobias of the poles ok but the poles want to be at the adult table in the european union and in nato when they're not getting what they want either you're laughing i don't know if you're agreeing or disagreeing with me go ahead. i think you're going to be very bad in boston. well i was just going to say that of course the sirup events of the baltic peoples perceived russia differently and i agree with you that the notion of an actual russian threat is just it's it just is non-existent and we do not live in the late thirty's nor do we live in the early one nine hundred forty s. at the same time president putin. said some really nasty things about poland and they really threatened poland in two thousand and eight and then the next year he said some pretty outrageous things about the role that poland had allegedly played in the in the breaking old war breaking out a world war two so this sort of ran over a he stood on the no ego he didn't say that he was quoting from archives that were released

that the church had to put aside stating that they are a christian church because there's a lot of phobia is so rampant in america but of course this is arizona too and as we reported here on our show that state has quite the history of being bigoted towards brown people remember they passed a law earlier this year they required everyone to carry their identification papers stating of they were u.s. citizen or a legal resident so they could pick out of the ground illegals you know about laws and put on hold while the federal government fights in court so i guess that we shouldn't be too surprised that some people in phoenix are also islam folks what's up with that state which is why residents who are worried about a possible mosque in their neighborhood even though it was really a church are the winners of tonight's told time award. now in today's really stupid american news there was a man who alerted local police when he found a suspicious package on his front porch on november second the man said that he was an undo that he saw an unknown person leave the package next to his front door

the amount of islam phobia, anti-semitism, anti-white on black, a lot of divisive talk from the far rightace of it. she makes statements that are hurtful and contribute to that kind of state where we're moving backwards regarding tolerance in all religion and race. that's an issue for me. >> do you worry about her politically? do you think she can come out of the republican party, we showed a poll if the primary were held today, she would be the republican choice. do you think she would give president obama a run for the money? >> i hope she's the choice. today, but things happen quickly. what happened in germany, rwanda, places where there's ethnic cleansing, horrible things happen in history, it's happened in only a few years. so we are at risk. but if it was today, i would hope that she was the candidate against president obama. >> you've been a big supporter of president obama pretty much right out of the box when he announced his candidacy. how do you feel two years into his presidency now? some people on the left express disappointment? how do you feel? >> can't do everything at onc

we have senate phobia. we worry too much about what they're going to do. pass what i just said, put it in their laps and let the public evaluate what they're going to do. let's do that. >> what do you think about that? >> i think what we're seeing here is class warfare, where the rich are winning. the rich have been winning this class warfare for a long time now. we have republicans say they would hold up extension of people's unemployment benefits, benefits that are keeping people in their houses, not living in their cars, just so we request extend the tax cuts for the rich. what are they thinking? let's ask expose them once and for all. >> congressman grayson, you're going to be leaving congress after serving two terms. what surprised you most about the way congress works. being an outsider, being inside it, and seeing it up close. >> i think the senate is utterly dysfunctional. but the house under nancy pelosi reflected a head and a heart. this is someone who created an environment that was a supportive environment. she never took out the rubber hose on

. >> stigmatization and home phobia in this country and hostility in gays and it has created a resurgence of aids in gay communities. i think this administration is focused zeroed in on certain groups. we have time for two more questions and then we'll to have wrap up. >> i want to shift to another topic as i recall with the h1n1 we did not have enough vaccine even for here and it got into the whole complex of vaccine production and which companies are going to do it and how much lead typically do you have and knowing exactly what virus you're dealing with is and then distribution and i wonder if you would address that part of the problem? >> well, the problem with not having enough vaccine for influenza is that we have -- the root cause of that really is that we as a nation and the world has not taken seasonal influenza very seriously. we say well, i have the flu and whatever and when you think about a pandemic and you get all nervous but seasonal influenza is a very serious issue it kills at an average of about 36,000 americans a year with 200,000 excess hospitalizations, about a half a

. >> it's a movie with a phobia about commitment?hing, they have to open up to each other. >> let's get off that. there's a funny story behind that scene, right? >> >> just watjust watching tha miss josh so much. >> josh isn't watching. josh isn't up until noon. >> you like to think he's watching. >> when we were shooting that scene, we were shooting it a couple hours. it's a little scary, very revealing. after a few hours of shooting it, i guess the set was quiet. i was behind the scene waiting for my cue and got into a conversation with someone and they came up, annie, it's time, it's you. my gosh, i run onto the set and take my top off like i do in the scene and all of a sudden, i notice jake is wearing his pants, josh isn't in his costume and everybody is talking and i realize we're rehearsing and i unnecessarily had gotten completely naked in front of the crew. >> i love how she knows we're rehearsing because my pants are on. which is an amazing subject. >> is doing this stuff, you're actors. but is it intimidating? scary? it's

we have cubes there that create clauser phobia in any person.w this all turned out later on. cubes that create claus strophobia and lots of ping-pong balls as we go on later on. >> i was actually a little freaked-out by it. >> plus, we ask you, our viewers, to create some "today" show themed viral videos. >> and we catch up with actors gyllenhaal and he describes the scene as an nude-fest. hard to recognize them in clothes. >> ann is at the newsdesk with the headlines. >> hi. in the news, president obama is stepping up pressure on senate republicans to approve the nuclear arms treaty he signed with russia. today, he is hosting henry kissinger and madeleine albright and other former secretary of the state of defense why it's in the u.s. interests to have it ratified this year. >>> and a mosque in murphy's borrow, tennessee, arguing the proposed mosque was approved without enough public notice, opponents tried to claim there was a muslim conspiracy to impose extremist islamic law in the united states. >>> rescue aircraft searched overnight for the

a lot of this islam phobia out there, just present the face of a muslim that you can hug. you know? fact, people are very, very excited -- when we did the rally to restore sanity, there were many, many muslims that e-mailed me and facebooked me and stuff on twitter saying they wanted to wear the team mohammed shirts and come down and represent. you know? so i was like, that's great. make your own shirts, and they. there were actually many picture, online about, you know, groups of muslims who came out wearing the team mohammed shirts. it's become sort of a symbol, in some -- in a small way, of people sort of saying, we're muslim, we're american, we're proud. like that. >> you're kind of educating people through laughter. >> i lope so. i hope so. if we can do one thing that would be -- >> laughter and leather. >> laughter and leather. very good. >> congratulations on the movie. >> thank you. >> can't wait to see it called "today's special" in theaters on november 19th. great to see you. >> thank you very much. >>> coming up, the "new york times'" dexter with the firsthand account of
