and while it is a story of painful remembrbrance and unresolved suffering, it is also a story of renewal and perseverance and hopope, in the greatest tradition of the american spirit. >> ♪ >> ♪ >> narrator: there are over 160 monuments and memorials in our nation's capital, dating back to the founding of america. some honor a select few men and women who shaped our country and helped define who we are as a nation today... generals, political leaders, poets, statesmen, and scientists who changed the coursese of american history. some raised the hopes and aspiration of a nation unique in all the world. others set forth the values and ideals on which our republic was based, and to which we would aspire for generations to come. still others honor ordinary americansho, through their courage, dedication, and commitment, made extraordinary contributions to america and the cause of freedom around the world. many left their families and the comfort and security of home tonselfishly answer r the call when their nation needed them most, and fofought and died for all that we ho dear today. virtually

a story about america, about ordinary american families, about how we face the perils, uncertainties, and tragedies of life, and about how we, as individuals and a nation, come together to heal the wounds of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for all that we hold dear. it's a story of reflection, remembrance, and renewal. it's also a story about hope for the future. >> and i remember--you know, some days my wife would be sitting here, and just the fact that her presence-- that's all i wanted, was just her presence. we didn't have to say anything, the fact that i knew that she was there and i was over here, that's all i cared about. nothing else. that i knew that she was here. >> the other two came home, and i made sure they got some good food, you know, stuffed 'em as much as i could, with anything they'd eat, figuring that they wouldn't be eating a lot for a while. and, um... then told 'em. and i will never forget that day. especially my youngest. brady just looked dazed. but you could just see kelsey change... it was like the light in her eyes just left. and i've never hear

these are short stories, a collection of 10. based on southern stories, my stories but based on stories that i heard. they were like stories i heard. one in particular comes from my growing up. we managed our monsters. i was the founder and first president of monster watches of america. i ate 6 boxes of crinkle cereal and in the mail i received 6 glow in the dark id badges, oh yes. and i invited 5 friends to join me. the most prized possession was the monster book, you know the monster rules, you know them. module no. 10, monsters cannot come within the circle of light. if you have light, they can't come in that circle of lot. monster rule no. 7, you don't play near where monsters live. isn't that common sense? why do they have people stay in houses and it says get out? i say who wrote that? [laughter]. so in my book when the house says get out, well get out. monster no. 5 says never lie about seeing a monster. we all know they are there, those of us that are believers. you can see them just out of your sight. hear them scratchin

now to a story that didn't get much attention. e jackson returned from gambia with two americans that were released from prison. they were noshd n than that by that country's president. one was a navy veteran that served in desert storm and another tennessee professor had been convicted of treason. they could have faced the firing squad until jackson stepped in. a story that didn't get much media coverage. why not? >> nobody got killed. it was a happy ending. murky circumstances, who knows what is going on there. but reverend jackson has done this before. he did in this in the 80s in lebanon. but the media is too busy pounding on romney. >> media was very busy in the last couple weeks. we do have a presidential campaign. we have a crisis in libya. we have a whole bunch of questions that should be asked about that. >> we know they have one brain. [ laughter ] >> it was a tough week to have a good news story and story, by the way, this muslim country, a country in which most of the people are muslims and they did a good humanitarian

this is a one-day story not a multiple day story. the context is better for romney it fires up the base. no one is giving the full video. we want to see the debate about entitlements and who is getting too much and 47% of americans not paying taxes, but the media would not play the whole tape. they wanted the gaffe story. >> and romney backed it up. i didn't say it elegantly, that 47% of americans who pay no taxes is something of a problem. then the next day, outcomes this video from 1998, i believe, of then state senator barack obama says he believes in wealth redistribution. that didn't get much play at all. >> right there. is a larger context. gallup poll says a record number of americans, 60% don't trust the media. highest percentage since they have been keeping track of the poll. that might explain why in the middle of 200 news stories, romney is did dead and done for, romney is creeping up in the polls. gallup has hen him high tied. he has been going up for two weeks. it does suggest that dynamic of on 60% of americans don't tr

. >> this is on the other end of the spectrum as a great story. this couple was getting on the plane with their 14-week-old twins, i believe. their very first plane ride. >> it was from san francisco to d.c., a long flight. >> they decided to ease the tensions, because you know how everybody feels when you see somebody coming on with babies and all their stuff. what they did was passed out a note to every single person, apparently on the plane with a little bag of candy attached saying, "hello, we're twin baby boys on our first flight and we are only 14 weeks old. we'll try to be on our best behavior. but we would like to apologize in advance in case we lose our cool, get scared or our ears hurt." >> isn't that precious? >> passed them out to everyone on the plane. they also had a note that said if by chance the kids get out of control, we have ear plugs for everyone at our seat. >> yes. apparently they are still on vacation. so now the return flight is coming so they are shopping right now. >> i can't believe they have time to make candy bags. >>

i see a lot of news for you could have the story or get a perspective of the story of what is going on in the streets every day. rarely do we hear the story from the men and women on the streets protecting us every day, and there is always a story about the job people are doing that is so impressive. tonight is a culmination of the stories we get to hear about the dollar and integrity and of bravery and courage from the men and women that served us every single day. i try to remember the stories that i hear at this event throughout the rest of the year when i'm watching the news, when i am reading the newspaper, when i am at meetings listening to what people are saying about public safety. this really does serve as an inspiration to me personally and to the city of san francisco, which is why i am here on behalf of the mayor. i am here tonight, and i brought proclamations for each and every one of the awardees on behalf of the mayor and city of sanford says go to thank you for the trip -- work you do and for being an inspiration to all of us who are working in public safety to continue

this is a story about 2 of my favorite she ras. the women went to a share holding meeting and carrying 5,000 brooms. in india a broom is a woman's power. by delivering brooms, we are telling them to clean up their mess. chemical melt down spent 20 tons of gas into their city. they are leading the fight to send justice to their people and the worst fate. mothers carry poisons in their breasts. she accepted the 2004 environmental prize. we are not expendable. we are not flowers offered at the profit and power. we are dancing flames commitmented to darkness and the magic and mystery of life. women have long been slain at the environmental health and justice, from rachel to louis and the family of love canal. to the women of india and around the world fighting to clean up dangerously contaminated community. today more women have more power than ever before, especially more economic power and political power, women can shift the balance of power and change the face of the future. we are the once we have been waiting for as the poet june

big story. >> bob: it is a big story. to know there could be a coverup going on in the white house. >> bob: i assume they probably think the american people do not care much about this. >> greg: you had four americans die and we care more about the iphone. media is the obama snuggy. >> andrea: leopard one. the only industry not doing your job ensurous keep your job. they didn't do the libya story but when obama went on "the view," abc, cbs, msnbc covered it. why would they cover that and nothing else? anytime they get snubbed personally, ladies of the view got the interview then they speak up. every couple of months they feel blown off. the press has to stop by the press room. >> kimberly: absolutely. this is the truth. the obama administration wouldn't have been forced to come clean on this and admit the obvious truth if it weren't for catherine herridge's reporting here at fox. that is a fact. because of her intelligence sources all of that has been confirmed. everything she said from day one on this incident has been pr

i do have a story, a very good story. i know you get this all of the time, but i think this story. if i were to tell you this story, and you wrote it, maybe then you could give me a little credit. >> well, that would be fair, would it not? good day. >> it is about a man who wrote a book and the piss and kid who found it. are you still here? tavis: so we are aging, and you decide to play even older. >> i know, i know. that is the only reason i came today, because i wanted to remind people that i am not that old. tavis: talking about how to explain this without giving away the story, and that clip give us a little bit of it away anyway. >> it does, it does, but it sets a formula, and the story is how you deal with the program, and i think really, it is a film about living or lying in bed that you have made. tavis: mm-hmm. >> which, in a way, we all have to do in life, and the man has to do that, and the boy has to do that, and it is also about where you get ideas from. tavis: did you like playing the old man? >> i like playing characters with secrets and enigmas, and i liked very muc

if the work of the thomas jefferson and sally hemming american controversy published in 1997 comes a story of one of the founding fathers relationship with his wife cousin and his slaves or enslaved mistress. i wonder if that were not for that work, would this have been a more difficult story to tell? would it be harder for our collective imaginations to wrap our heads around the deeply significant fact i've been the launch of humanity represented by this mixture of european, african and native american? >> i think it is certainly helpful to me in the sense that there is a framework that people have in their heads about what this kind of situation might be like. for michelle obama's family, it was quite different in a lot of ways. but i think in some ways the discussion has been ongoing and i think that was a vital part of that. >> so you've described this as a hard history. what do you mean by that? >> i think it's hard for people to talk about. i think it's the idea of a young girl, you know, maybe 14, 15, 16, and being malia and the end i someone in her owner's family. actually in the r

this is a way to get people to focus on stories that are important to them as a community or individual or causes they are passionate about. >> just to piggyback on what she was saying, we have to rearrange the way we think about news. we might not read 5000-word stories anymore, but i know in all my other friends will read 5000 suites that have to do with one particular issue -- 5000 tweets that have to do with one particular issue. there was a case where a policeman in oakland killed a young man, and most of the reporting that came out about the issue was the road to a degree, but it had a certain perspective. the conversation was turned into where are the people from these communities? why don't they read our stories? why did they not call into our shows? there were huge questions. honestly, nobody really thought to look too deeply into it, but we noticed that these people were reading and having those conversations and getting into debt, but they were not doing it on the "chronicle" website. they were doing it on facebook. they were doing it in google groups. i cannot tell you how m

don't get enough of what they're looking for so to speak so let's switch gears because q e three is a story you can see anywhere but i want to talk to you about what you're doing now because you live in asia but you do travel quite a bit and i have to ask before we get into some questions about asia and specifically china what has been your impression of the american economy on this latest trip of yours in new york. well new york may not spirit present a thief because this is the car only. in manhattan of the well to do people and as you know there is a huge wells income inequality not just in the u.s. but where also where by the well to do people still make a lot of money there said prizes have recovered so as an example in two thousand and seven the sandy weill bought a condo in west fifteen and he paid forty three million he sold it to or three months ago for eighty eight million so you can see home prices in phoenix have collapsed in the land the nation wise wide. but prestigious trophy properties have continued to actually go up in price the same applies to singapore hong kong tokyo lo

it's an individual memor l, it's a collective memorial, and in a very eloquent way kind of tells a storyto think. >> wendy ploger: we were looking for a deeper meaning. we liked the feeling of going to a place and experiencing it in our own way. >> narrator: by september 2002, more than 1100 designs were submitted from around the world for the pentagon memorial. after much review, in february 2003 the jury panel settled on a design by keith kaseman and july beckman, two young architects from philadelphia. in time, the design would become america's first national 9/11 memorial, built on the very site of the crash of american airlines flight 77. support for the memorial came forth from the entire country. major american corporations joined hands with key international partners and individual american donors, some of whom gave even a small contribution from savings to see that the attack on the pentagon was never forgotten. at a foundry outside st. louis, missouri, custom molds and metal alloys were created that would form the 184 individual benches on display throughout the memorial. steel

the characters and the year and the situation and the stories a father would tell a daughter. all this came out the camps, what happened. what he hoped for. what he wished for. all the stories he tells the daughters. some of them would have to cover that interment time and a lot is what happened from my research. all that went in the book. does that answer your question? it's not that i purposely said, now i will advocate this. but if a story line covers a certain aspect of history that you tell it to the greatest truth you can. you know, you talk about the situation and if you inhabit the characters, hopefully, in the right way you try to feel hathey would feel. >> thank you. >> we started reading your book in my classroom a couple of weeks ago. >> he's lifting the book up. they are disapointed because we haven't gotten to the part you read yet, it's okay the story is not spoiled. i want to thank bobby and alex for coming on a school night. i want to thank you, too. >> you are welcome. >> [laughter]. >> one of the things the book has done is opened their eyes to japan and japa

[applause] i am going to now have fun and tell you a story about mid. and my fun job as a wife is to tell people about things that you might not know about. i think everyone knows he was a governor, successful businessman, that he has a big family. in the balloon drop, my grandchildren got lost. the balloons were dropping. and there were diving into the balloons. but they knew there was going to be another balloon drop and there were truly going to be buried. but they did not mind. that was their favorite part of the convention. there was a story told at the convention that i would like to retell. and have the ability to let you know what kind of a person mitt is. he is a person who cares. and having these women with us today, we know that he cares about women and making the economy good for women. and he cares that these past four years have been the most difficult on women. do you know that more women have become unemployed than men in the last four years? do you know that more women have fallen into poverty in the last four years? i know we need to ha
