going into the book was, do we pass sibling relationships down? was the fact that my father had such a difficult relationship with his older sister, was that the thing? going into writing this book i would say there it is, it is passed down. the fact is my brother and i were with able to get passed this. my brother would say you have so many damned theories, just go forward, live your life. don't be with so obsessed with the passed. he turned out to be a guru figure for me. sometimes you don't get to understand everything. >> what turned, finally? i mean he is on some levels, cranky, right up until the last day, so what changed for you and would this have happened if he didn't have a life threatening illness crisis? >> i have often asked that. i don't know what the answer to that is. what changed that is so profound and fundamental and coming over on the plane, i wrote 5 points that i thought was that worked for me in transforming. many people have said to me, how do we make it better with a sibling? what changed for us was the first thing that ha

so many of us carry around this sibling thing in the attic thing. it came to me because something happened in our life which transformed our relationship. it was huge for me and huge for him. we learned how to become a team. and we had, my brother had a crisis and wrote me a letter about it, kind of a stunning letter that came like a time bomb, when he was quite young, barely 50 that he had a rare form of non smoker's lung cancer. it was all typed out like the fruit in a control freak way, a lawyers letter that came by fed excompletely mysterious when we had just been together at thanksgiving for 4 or 5 days. i get this manifesto, i am asking you to save my life. my life changed completely when that letter came into my life. then the great task was with how to come together, which we did. again, it was a huge experience. i never thought i would write about it. i didn't think i could bring myself to. >> yet you took notes all the way through? >> of course. i write in a journal almost everyday. i was trying to come up with a new book idea. i wanted to

why do we love our siblings? >> no one with loves us better. william james often wrote about the core of self. that core of self is hidden from our parents. we hide from our parents but we don't from our siblings, they know every aspect of us. it is why they can drive us crazy, it is why when we have a problem, our impulse is to want our brother or sister right next to us. no one with could be closer. there is that pull. that pull is so powerful. it was a love story, always. >> do you think you knew that before you started writing this? >> i knew i had to be as close to my brother as i could possibly be. i am sure that pull is part of it. >> you have a daughter and stepson as well? >> i have 1 daughter and 1 stepson who i am close to. >> has this changed how you are around them as well? >> absolutely. my daughter casey has a half brother she is very close to. i say to all of them, you are a team. you have each other through life. you are a team. you do a lot of things together as the 2 families, very, very close. >> this seems like a good momen

i can do that to my sibling.realize before you get into that situation that you're either going to be spending more time together or be in each other's home. what are the hot buttons she used to say to you about your hair or your eyes or your weight or whatever? get ready. so you have those statements to be able to really go back with and handle it. i always tell people to unhook and take a look. step back if you feel the temperature rising. >> mixing egg nog things get real interesting. so sweep the adults and sweep the kids. >> sweep the house. >> thank you so much. we appreciate it. >>> coming up how to pull off some of the style trends. but first these messages. ♪ [ horse neighs ] you're leaving. it is my destiny. ♪ take this. it is a piece of me. ♪ [ male announcer ] it's movie time. with a wii twist. netflix now delivers unlimited tv episodes and movies instantly through wii and nintendo 3ds. all for only 8 bucks a month. seriously, what is it? dad. did you know it's 22 days, 11 hours and 2 minutes to chris

the other siblings were citizens. by 3:00 in the afternoon, he was already in tijuana in his pajamas with no money, no nothing. fortunately, the other people who were arrested gave him $10 so that he could call his family so that they could wear him money and he could go home. -- wire him money and he could go home. these are the types of cases i see. we need this immigration reform, but what i wish we could do it is -- i would like to see a media campaign. we want you to present the benefits that immigrants bring here. what we see everywhere is that immigrants are taking jobs away, they are the pressing salaries, they are committing crimes. that is not true. republicans to press our salaries. -- depress ourur salaries.

i think personalities differ and as close as we are as siblings, we are like the sun and the moon. life does take you into other travels. you go in different circles and you go what your path is. i have said, especially in the last year, with my soul- searching, not having any fear of talking about my life or my situations, i feel like no matter what demons and daddy had an whatever course he took, his path led me to this one. so i am grateful. tavis: have this is what makes country music so good. i do not think there is a medium that is more open, more accepting, more available to storytelling than country music. >> don't you love it? tavis: the stories are amazing and the audience revels in it. >> everyone loves a good story. i do. tavis: not all stories -- not all music tells you a good story. >> and this is not a dance record.

somehow, siblings, adults, children are not important. instead, we should have a point system that favors people with high educational degrees, who can speak english, who have certain health-care jobs. we should be prepared for that being part of the bill. we should be prepared for increased funding for employer sanctions and border control. we spend billions of dollars every year and there will be new billions that will be part of this legislation. both versions of the bill that is being considered today include expansion of the e- verify system. all of that is premised on the understanding or belief that people should be punished for working. that is what they are being punished for. the ice raids that i had the privilege of testifying about before you, the activity that enforcement officials visit on our communities is a result of the license that ice feels it has because of the employer sanctions. employer sanctions should be eliminated, but it will be expanded as part of the legislation. the other part of the legislation that will ex

but erika has a story about quadruplets -- four siblings, each one of them qualified to join a club of intellectual superstars. >> they don't look exactly alike, but these teens have a very special bond -- they're quadruplets, very accomplished quadruplets. for example... >> [ speaking mandarin ] >> ...patrick, thomas, and alanna learned to speak mandarin >> sister moria focused on learning sign language instead. what makes this unusual is that they started learning these languages before they were even in kindergarten. >> i was told that most kids entering kindergarten couldn't write everybody's name in the house, couldn't tie their shoes, couldn't read, and didn't have an understanding of two other languages. and i didn't know that. i thought that they had to have these skills to go into kindergarten. >> by the time they reached high school, the crowley quads had a high profile in their hometown of wylie, texas. >> sit! >> in addition to service projects like training guide dogs, they've racked up a slew of accomplishments in academics, athletics, art, music, and scouting. >> ♪ time

the controversial ossuary to make their point. >> the word that's used of james and jesus' other siblingsgreek word for "brother," is the word for "brother." some people thought, well, maybe they're cousins, for example. well, there is a greek word for cousin and that's not the word that's used here. >> the theological questions are profound. and the debate is a difficult one. especially if you're a jesuit and a scientist like tom fitzpatrick. >> i don't know if we're ever going to get to a definitive answer that satisfies every question or every person on this. it's been a very important doctrine mystery for the church over 2,000 years. it's not the most important doctrine. >> just as fascinating as jesus' family tree is the debate over just what jesus looked like. this certainly isn't a matter of doctrine, but it has always been a source of intense speculation. the centuries-old guessing game that science tells us is way off the mark. >> i could never reconcile myself to him having long blond hair and blue eyes, because he comes from a part of the world where people are basically rather

as a result, child protection services have taken the siblings away for alleged lack of supervision.hat do you make of that move? >> you know, she was apparently out -- this little girl was outside in the playground with a lot of other children. a teenager was supposed to be watching her. you know, you never want to blame the parent whose loss is obviously just so palpable but the bottom line is, we have to watch our babies. we have to watch our children. and so the fact that she was out in the playground unsupervised by an adult is problematic. and certainly was problematic in this case. and so i'm sure child services wanted to make sure that the other siblings and the other children in the household were protected and supervised. >> you know, i was talking to erin runnion on the show yesterday. her daughter samantha was taken from her in 2002 and was murdered. what's the message to parents? because you can't keep your kid, you know, under supervision 24/7, locked up in your home. what do you do? >> you don't want to lock them up in your home certainly but i believe that you just ha
