nor was it to create a system that encouraged out of wedlock berths. but once sort of discipline on the system broke down, as it did in the '60s, the moral hazards of the system broke free, and became -- i agree, became damaging to american families, rather than strengthening. another question? >> one or two more questions. >> quick question. sorry, steven baskerville, howard university. the reagan administration's executive order, the one for the family impact statement. i don't believe that's been reinstated by the bush administration. has it, or what has been going on with that? and i was also wondering, what would you recommend a federal government could do? what can the president do? what can be done on the federal level, if an executive order like that is not strong enough to deal with this kind of thing? what more could be -- >> to my knowledge, it's not been reinstated. does anyone know any different? i think we would have heard about it if it was. so no, it has not been reinstated. certainly it could be, but i think if it was, it should be str

contraception leads to more babies born out of wedlock. (laughter) the exact same way fire extinguishers cause fires. now we're going to... thank you. thank you. and if we're going to give men access to this birth control pill, we need to do it responsibly. every sperm that has potential to be a human being waiting to be born. so before we give men the power to just wipe them out, we must be sure that they see the face of that sperm. (laughter) that is why i'm calling for a law requiring all men who want this pill so first submit to a transurethral ultrasound. (cheers and applause) totally noninvasive procedure with the exception of the ultrasound wand jammed up the wing-wang. (laughter) you just get it up there and look around up periscope! ping! you will... you men will think twice about taking that pill assuming you survive. now folks... (laughter). everyone knows...

. 70% of african-americans have children out of wedlock. how do you get out of it? >> that is a good question. i can have an opinion on it. no one is an authority for sure. i think this boils down to something really simple. you say 70%. i was not familiar with the70% statistic. 70% of african-americans have children out of wedlock. i would like to know how that is broken down within age groups. i think that would inform my answer. >> i think a lot of them are younger. >> i talked about them in the clips. a core need of human beings is to be in love. -- the deepest need of every human being. any character, somewhere in there, is a need to be loved. when you do not get that nurturance, not to say they are not loved, but true love in a healthy way entails a lot more than being cared for in basic ways. it calls for an emotional nurturance. it calls for guidance. it calls for a whole host of other aspects that i young person needs. that a young person needs. we do not have those things, you reach out any way you can to feel it. sometimes it is

but we are kidding ourselves if we think a country where 40% of the children are born out-of- wedlock, where parents are working heroically to raise children in single-parent homes but have a failure rate economically five times what two parents have, now approaching 40% in america, we are kidding ourselves if we do not talk about doing things to help restore and encourage the american family. marriage, fathers taking responsibility for children, building networks of support around families at the local level. that is how we were able to have government limited, because families were strong. churches were strong. volunteer and civic organizations were strong. people in the committee looked out for each other. you know that. -- people in the community looked out for each other. you know that. look at areas of cleveland. were you do not see dad's gonna do you see freedom and opportunity? do you see jobs? do you see police? do you see government everywhere? that is the reality. it has to be a community effort. it has to be a community effort across this country. we have to talk about it.

right now, the average child born to a woman under 30 is born out of wedlock. >> that's why whole pointmany feckles guys out there. >> they keep having kids, they have no responsibility, they're ghastly. i don't hear christian ones ranting about those guys, all they want to rant about is gay people in loving monogamous relationships with one other person who just want the same rights to get married as i do as a straight guy. >> i hammer those guys like a pinata on cinco de mayo. >> they're irresponsible, for the first time in the nation's history, a woman is more likely to be in church, college and the workforce than a young, single man. there's sexual assault, sexual abuse, abortion, children born out of wedlock, 30% of kids go to bed without a father. >> what is harming a america like many countries around the world is just the fundamental lack of tolerance and respect for people who may not share your personal values. i just think the past is not -- in a great position to trail blaze a bit. to take this great book and bring it slightly kicking and screaming into the modern era a bit.

sexual assault, sexual abuse, abortion, children born out of wedlock. 40% of kids go to bed without aather. to me, if we're going to talk about what's really harming the country, that's a big issue. >> i agree with all of that. but i also think what's harming america right now is just a fundamental lack of tolerance and respect for people who may not change your personal values. pastors like you are in a great position to trail blaze a bit, you know? to take this great book and bring it slightly kicking and screaming into the modern era a bit. because eventually america will get to that position anyway. and quite fast. if you look at the -- >> it's moving fast. >> so it's going to be happen. >> i'm also a guy, i believe the bible. >> it's a good talking point, a racing old read, i've got to say. not your average religious book, i gooeft to say. >> coming up, montel williams and a very passionate prescription for keeping america great. for more than 116 years, ameriprise financial has worked for their clients' futures. helping millions of americans retire on their terms. when they want

when you see, for example, that 40% of the children are born on of wedlock.hem to teenage moms. when you see large percentages of people not graduating from high school. brookings institute, a liberal think tank, did a study three years ago. in that study, they wanted to analyze what caused poverty in america. here is what they found out. this is a liberal think tank. they said if you did three things, you were almost guaranteed never to be in poverty. what are those things? work. this was a liberal think tank. ok? to get the liberals to see work is a requirement is a good thing. so let's applaud them. [applause] graduate from high school. number three, get married before you have children. [applause] if you do those three things america, the chances you'll ever be in poverty in your lifetime is 2%. 2%. if you do those three things, the chances you'll ever be in the top half of income earners in this country, a 77% chance. if you fail to do just one of those things, the chances are that you'll be in poverty is 74%. the chance you'll ever in your life be a top

there's 4 million out of wedlock children and 3 million illegal children. we're not taking into account the reality. we should have a law that takes into account the quality of parenting. and also we should encourage the parents to be parents. i have a model that i would like to propose to you. number one, the heart of the family in my model is a new law for parents and giving rights to the children and equal rights to the parents and the children. number three. we should have philosophy that ensures that we maintain children's rights. then the role of the family should be at the heart of society. we should give optimum living conditions to the family. the children must be protected within their family also. the old laws only protected 2 million children. and i think that we should use my model that would protect 14 million family communities and that would cover the 7 million of children who are not covered now. the chancellor, i know that a lot of people have thought approximate that. but i would like to send youhe f the coalition to help them with the dr

it wasn't out of wedlock, they were married. william tucker, 1624. i want you to know that we are just full of myths. we are full of myths and we bought them all and what we have do is to say that we're not going to deal with it. how many -- who told the colonies that the british were coming? no, no, that was the first person killed in 1770 but who rode off and told the british was coming. paul revere. nothing could be further from the truth. ever heard of israel bizle. he run 346 miles on horse back from boston to philadelphia to warn not just boston, but all of the colonies in that upper area about the parish were coming. in other words, there are stories that made america and there are stories that america made up. you hear what i just said? there are stories that made america and there are stories that america made up and too often the myth becomes the choice and you believe rather than the facts and here's one thing and i'm going to close it here. he give me 15 minutes. i say, how are you going to give me 15 minutes? it takes a day of my time to

in "the washington post" sewed thhowed % of the children born in washington, d.c., are born out of wedlock. if you have a single parent that is working two jobs, how can you spend time at the dinner table? >> it depends on how you allocate your time. how much time is that same family watching television? the average family spends three to four hours a day, the average american fam family, three to four hours a day watching television, don't tell me that you can't give up an hour of television doing something of this kind. i think the dinner table conversation, and i've had many, many people say they agree from their own memories and experience the dinner table conversation can be over the lifetime of a child, a lifetime at home, more important than school. >> but what if they don't have any history of knowing history, the parent? >> they know the history of their own lives. they can talk about what their fathers or mothers or grandmothers did, where they came from, what part they played in american life or american history. or they could go to the library and get some books. public library

and as far as i know, alex rodriguez has not knocked up any girls out of wedlock, that was the language of the joke. so, you know, as one of my professional writing friends says, by rights, art should be confusing to stupid people, not smart people. a smart person listening knows that's not funny. that's how i think we should be evaluating this -- is it funny? and not pretending to be personal injury lawyers, putting on casts and saying you are so wounded. >> sean: i don't think it's fun tow make fun of your buddy maher did, the children of rick santorum or sarah palin in the manner he did. i don't think that's ever funny. i think there are certain things -- i don't it's funny to use the c-word it talk about a woman. i don't think that's funny -- >> well, it's probably -- >> sean: i am not trying to silence bill maher. i am not attack hbo or boycotting. that's what liberals do. >> that's right. they do go after the children. i say going after the children, general ealtought tosh off limits. it has not been off limits for republicans, though conservatives have taken the obama children of

. >> or a bad thing outside of wedlock. >> sure. i think that there are people who think it's just simply bad and dirty. i don't think you can -- i think there's a lot of precedent for that. >> but that is the job of responsible broadcasters to actually say it isn't bad. it's one of the great wonders of the world. isn't it? >> absolutely. and i'm agreeing with you on everything except that i want to know everything about rush limbaugh's sex life, which i balked at and then jumped on board with you. >> i'm amazed he's on air. >> i can see that. >> calling a student that. anyway, let's move on. when you see the republican debate, the nominees going at each other about all these social issues and stuff, a lot of it is motivated by their religious beliefs. >> yes. >> certainly with somebody like rick santorum in particular making a big play for that. what do you think, as an atheist, when you see that happening politically, and these are people who may one day be your president, what do you think? >> well, you have to -- it's very, very

the average child born to a woman under 30 is born out of wedlock with no father. >> there are so many out there. >> that's the heartbreak. >> i don't hear many pastors ranting about that. all they want to hear about is gay people loving who want the same rights to get married as i do as a straight guy. >> for me, i hammer those guys like a pinata on cinco demayo. they are addicted to porn, irresponsible. a woman is more likely to be in church, college and the workforce than a young single man. there is sexual assault, sexual abuse, abortion. kids go to bed without a father. if we are going to talk about what is harming the country. >> i agree with that. what is harming america is just the fundamental lack of tolerance and respect for people who may not share your personal values. i think that pastors like you funny enough are in a great position to trail blaze a bit, to take this great book and bring it slightly kicking and screaming into the modern era a bit because eventually america will get to that position and quite fast. it is going to happen. >> i believe the bible. >> it's a g

wedlock about it. we'll talk about it. >>> a doctor prescribes a treatment you believe has been thoroughly tested, right? not always the case. the consumer reports investigation has found metal devices like defibrillators, metal joint replacements and even surgical mesh used to treat women may not have been tested at all. >> hundreds of thousands of women have had mesh slings inserted to support internal organs as they age like the uterus and bladder. again these products were never clinically tested before being marketed. >> they were used in other ways, so they allowed it to be used this way. the fda's own database shows thousands of complaints about the mesh including debilitating infections. consumer reports says it is still on the market and not even classified as high risk. the nonprofit also advocates the fda create a national registry to track implanted medical devices and to alert patients if there is a problem. currently no such tracking in the u.s. exists. >>> still ahead tonight the actions

right now the average child born to a woman under 30 is born out of wedlock. >> but my whole point about it is there are so many feckless guys out there, who marry endless times -- >> having kids -- >> they have no responsibility. they're ghastly human beings. but i don't hear many pastors, at least catholic ones or christian ones, ranting about those guys. all they want to rant about are gay people in loving, monogamous relationships with one other person who just want to have the same right to get married as i do as a straight guy. >> yeah. for me, i hammer those guys like a pinata on cinco de mayo. that's my sweet spot. young guys who don't get married, they take advantage of women, they sexually assault, they're addicted to porn. for the first time in america's history, a woman is more likely to be church, in college, or the workforce than a young man. 40% of kids go to bed without a father. to me, if we're going to talk about what's really harming the country, that's a big issue. >> i agree with all that. but i also think what is harming america right now, like many countries around
