pete: right up to bed now, ben! ben: let me pass! no, ben, no! no, ben. why can't i watch the football? because it is late. come on. up you go. but i've been on my best behavior all day long. you were specifically told no fighting, no swearing, and no drinking alcohol, and i caught you bashing that kid's head on the floor, shouting, "don't touch my bloody beer." but he was disrespecting me. come on. come on. pete: back to bed. if you went to jail, would they let you come home at night? well, i'm not gonna go to jail. what made you think of that? if you went up to somebody in the street and punched them, would you go to jail? well, um, probably. if you went up and kicked somebody, would you go to jail? kicked somebody? right up their bottom. right, okay. a) i'm not going to go to jail for kicking auntie angela because... she asked for it... who'd ask for somebody to kick them right up the bottom? and b) we're not going to tell anybody, are we? because it would just upset daddy and granddad, so they don't need to know, do they? hmm? now, let's talk about so

ben, can you-- ben, you don't understand.o that she didn't have to give the man money. no, i wasn't lying-- ben: then why did you tell him we couldn't? we can afford a cup of tea. so you were lying. she lies and she murders mice. karen, i think we need to set the mouse...thing to one side. all we mean is... that we just have to be a bit more careful with money at the moment. and i'm...looking for another job. ( phone rings ) oh. and you lot can all help with the little things like... mum: hi, dad! eating all your food. look at this. fantastic. like that's gonna happen. and switching off all the lights.... no, no, no, it's tomorrow you go for your flu jab. do you remember? 'cause i wrote it on the wall. what do you mean you cleaned the wall? i saw ben leave his lights on this morning. yes. karen, it is not good to tell on people all the time. that is not true! and he called me some bad words! he called me a ninny, stop. and he called me an idiot, karen. and he called me a motherfudger. no. it's not a motherfudger, it's a mothe

so that is ben. i want to read two quotes to close because they are important given what has gone on in my life in the last weekend days. they are long and i hope you will humor me but they are import. one is from ben and one is from harry. the first is he gave a speech in april of 1974 before nixon resigned but after the post reported all of that. he is very hesitant to point to deeper truth. you get the story today and take a bite of the apple and get another tomorrow. that has always been his philosophy. but this is an important statement that you never see anything like this. c-span: maintain 74. there are many obstacles on a road between philosophy and practice. rarely such a thing as absolute truth. we can we print quote we think is the truth at the time, we are told is the truth at the time. only the first rough draft of history. more than any other profession we are subject to second guess. unique among manufactured products the newspapers different every 24 hours and can't be recalled from s

ben, it's not funny. come on, ben. come on, ben. i'm not called ben! what's that?id you get it? um... from playing. playing what? a big boys' game. but let's not tell anyone, so keep it as our little secret? ( groans softly ) do you know... that was possibly the worst family outing ever? well, apart from the bird sanctuary. ohh. that incredibly rare duck. ex-duck. then of course there was st. paul's cathedral. projectile vomiting in the whispering gallery. i'm sorry i snapped earlier. it was angela, and i took it out on you. it's okay. they're lovely when they're asleep, aren't they? do you know jan says that now theirs are all teenagers, they look back on their being this age as the best bit, so i suppose we ought to enjoy it. make the most... he's got a rabbit. your ben's dad, aren't you? whatever story he has told you, it will be a lie. what's a nazi? the school said they would deal with it. i'm gonna go in there tomorrow-- no, please, dad, don't. please, dad, please. you're going to break his heart, because for some reason he loves you. do you believe in god? u

leave it said ben. from the middle of the panting stack of men. nobody move said ben. there was a brief silent. or at least when i do. sorry. that's okay said ben. patrice rolled off the bed. then he flickinged it into the toilet. what's this? his head was on my which of the now. that's an orchid. it keeps coming back. one with of those extra touches that mean a lot. he stared down at this offering. it don't look right somehow. i know. especially with a condom on it. he cleaned up at the sink. he started gathering up his clothes. hang with us for a while. busy day tomorrow. >> my other job, bacheloret party. i strip for private parties. that's what this is for. he was stepping into his fatigues. apparently impressed. it ain't worth the bus fair half the time. patrice shrubbed. if a sister has a plate of ribs, there's no way to held her attention. ben and i laughed. i'm serious. tickled to his response. i am up there working my ass off and they are sitting down there with their press on nails. tough crowd. they say they like the mens, he drew out the last. but they don'

ben. when we and probably myself might disagree with a decision he made and in retrospect i can probably see most of the time that he was right and i wasn't. he put in just the right measure. motivator. you want to please him. >> get some harder information next time. >> when there was a good story. when we had a good get, when we would really kick somebody's ass, nobody was happier than ben and everybody wanted to make ben happy. one day ben decided the room looked like a pigsty. if we didn't clean it up, he personally was going to start throwing all our papers and junk away. he wasn't bluffing. he actually wheeled in huge dumpster one morning and started throwing things away. i said ben, you just chucked an a-1 story. what did he do? he rolls up the sleeves of his fancy shirt and went right into the dumpster with coffee cups and file folders and saved my note books. ben bradley dumpster diving. now that's an editor. >> pardon the interruption. >> i'm mark wilbon and we're here to talk ab

ben: here it comes. ( ben gagging ) sue: and don't force it. pete: you're not gonna be sick, ben. ben: yes, i am. pete: if you are, you're gonna be sick in your book bag. ( phone rings ) hello? oh, hi, veronica. daddy! hello. whoa! ( grunts ) up you come. is it true that those people really took pictures of fairies? what people? some people did take pictures of fairies, yeah, but it was about 100 years ago, and then they all turned out to be faked in the end. why couldn't they find any real fairies to photograph? well, no... no, real fairies are very hard to spot, aren't they? have you ever seen one? i have. i saw two. i saw a real fairy with the tooth fairy, 'cause she was having a new job, and so the other tooth fairy was bringing her around to see and show what they do. that would be a fairy on work experience, wouldn't it? you're very lucky to see that second fairy, 'cause normally they'd just be doing the photocopying or something. who faked those photos? well, actually, it was some little girls, and you know what happened? everybody got very excited, and then they found out

your ben bradlee. and ben have been part of the pushing institution, which while some of now, but that assumes the second month we have a newspaper in the journal. so then couldn't assign, but he given free reign to fit everybody at the paper can cooperate with the story. there's not going to be one sordid fact about this falsehood, do you suppose that we're not going to get first. and when people ask me about that at the time and when i ask them about it, what he said as he learned the lesson on the lesson of the watergate is not always the crying. it's what she do after. and what ended after by opening up the whole paper with the whole participation and with the envoy was able to do was remarkably talented man was he wrote a piece for the sunday paper after they found out that it is one of the most stunning pieces of 40 journalists and you will come across that relied on heavily because the top to everybody right after it happened. at that moment when ben said we're not going to cover this up, we are

dreamed about going to work for ben bradley. on a simple goodness of a human being scale, super hero, super ben. and without any doubt in that special world of friendship, ben is super hero, super to the highest possible power. he is without a caught the ultimate fox hole buddy. i speak from my own experience and others that are lucky enough to say with truth and pride, ben bradley is a friend of mine. and i would wear that and might wear that on my t-shirt and on my forehead now and forever more. [ applause ]

ben! you're, uh, ben's dad? hi, i'm rory's dad, steve. hi. pete. ben was round our place on sunday. he's, uh, quite a kid, isn't he? yeah... he's, uh, quite a kid. told us all about you. did he? oh, yes. he's, uh, obviously very proud. so tell me, what's gordon brown really like? let's play karaoke! ♪ i'm feelin' lucky ( laughing ) alexa, you'd best pack up your things now, because your mummy rang, and she said she's going to be here in ten minutes... 45 minutes ago. die! ( gunfire noises ) what shall we do now? girls! rrowr. have i become invisible? hello! hey, can you hear something? no. i thought there was someone over there speaking. hello? i didn't hear. i thought it was just our imagination. karen! ♪ mummy's gone invisible ♪ mummy's gone invisible that's enough. oh... ( cell phone rings ) ♪ we can't see her we can't see her ♪ hello. oh, hi! hi, veronica. yes, yeah, i did get your e-mail. um, the thing is i probably won't be able to deal with it this evening because... well, to be honest, pete and i had sort of promised ourselves a quiet night in. well, you know, to have some q

starting with ben, her then boyfriend. ben told police a story that sounded a bit suspicious.pping off anita after their night out, angie had stopped by his place waking him up for a brief visit. and that she then drove home. within minutes of reaching her condo, ben says angie called him around 1:45 a.m. in that phone call, ben says angie told him she let a man she didn't know into her home in the middle of the night. a man who'd asked to use her phone and bathroom. ben says angie then hung up promising to call him back a few minutes later. but she never did, ben said, and she didn't answer his calls. concerned, ben told police he drove to her condo but angie wasn't answering her door either. and now ben was locked outside calling police on the early generation mobile phone in his truck and sounding to them oddly calm. >> my girlfriend called me, said there was a man in her apartment using the bathroom and the phone. now i cannot get her to answer her phone. her car is here and she won't answer the door. >> he broke in? >> no. >> she let him in? >> i'm not sure. i believe so.

ben got to crack eggs. jesus. aah. ben and eggs...why? well... mum! you can count the plates in the dining room. angela only eats free-range organic chicken, doesn't she? ( inaudible response ) i'm glad you invited her, though. yeah, yeah, i know. i have been a bit hard on her. i mean, it's not an easy thing to come and look after dad. i spoke to him this morning-- daddy. hmm? you've put the forks the wrong way around. have i? what on the table? you put them like that, and they're supposed to go like that. and what will happen if it do do it wrong? will the planet earth disappear into a black hole? actually some scientists think that might happen. if the particle accelerator in switzerland recreates the big bang, then it forms a huge black hole, and the whole solar system could be sucked into it. well, that'll play havoc with house prices. is absolutely everything made out of atoms? yep, everything. am i made out of atoms? yeah. everything is. are shadows? that's an interesting one. um, well, shadows are an absence of light, so i suppose... are dreams

but reserve chairman the central planner in chief ben bernanke trotted to the hill today to give another one of his economic outlook speeches as traders of course listen carefully for any news that might give them an edge on their daily speculations hoping to make a quick buck a quick buck it seems is all that americans can hope to make these days with interest rates suppressed at near zero for almost four years now forcing more and more hardworking people to speculate on riskier assets if they would like any sort of return on their money at all now for those who are less inclined to spin the roulette wheel there is always the comfort of your mattress which guarantees a return of at least some of your money whatever is not confiscated through what mr bernanke is so euphemistically calls quantitative easing we call it counterfeiting more confrontational folks may refer to it as outright theft some beneficials though most notably fed gov janet yellen says there may be more ahead they've been hinting that the central bank may ease yellin in a recent speech to the boston economic club advoca

these are your headlines for thursday june seventh two thousand and twelve ben brachis testified on capitol hill today of course everyone was looking for a language to suggest whether or not the fed will engage in more stimulus and if we will see q e three take a listen we have a number of different options that we have to consider each of them and the costs and benefits associated with them but at this point i really can't say that anything is completely off the table. lou was that right well we'll find out soon enough the fed meets later this month so if they do reach into their toolbox for an instrument to screw your financial freedom how can you prepare we'll try to answer that now this was another hot topic with bernie on the hill today. i'm talking of course about what's been dubbed the fiscal cliff of tax cuts expiring and spending cuts set to kick in all next year at around the same time now the concern is that washington will fly right off that cliff with no parachute except maybe a few golden one for the usual wall street executives and meanwhile the ratings agency fitch is warnin

history will judge whether ben bernanke will be. the new president will want his own appointee at the fed. and i don't believe that ben bernanke will stick around. that's a very tough job and he's due for a vacation. >> is he to blame, guys? is there any blame? >> romney is on the record saying he wouldn't support bernanke staying on the job, partly for the consumption of the republican campaign where bashing ben bernanke was the number one job of the gop presidential candidate and he had to come out and say ben bernanke's fault? no, i don't think so. he's sort of used the traditional tools and the tool box of the fed to keep interest rates very low and tried to stimulate the economy, you know, with what measures he had available to him and the open market's committee and they continue to do that. the next thing is do they act to have the quantitative easing to keep rates low in an extended period of time. it's hard for me to think about laying the blame for our crisis and subsequent low and painful recession for ben bernanke and th

there's not enough ben for america. more ben is bad. i'm talking, of course, about this ben, fed chair ben bernanke. today he announced he'll continue so-called operation twist. the goal is to bring down interest rates. theoretically that would spark borrowing, spending and hiring. it would be a panacea to fix the whole problem. but even ben admits his supply of money is drying up. >> monetary policy is not a panacea, it's not going to solve our economic problems. >> the fed fed's drugs didn't come cheap either. tlfen three rounds of fed stimulus with a total price tag of $2.7 trillion. and that doesn't include the $267 billion extension to operation twist that was announced today. so the question is, were the highs we got worth the price of $2.7 trillion? check this out. when the financial crisis hit, the fed stepped in with an unprecedented plan to lower interest rates. it was called q.e. 1 or quantitative easing, 1.0. over that time, we saw a drop in borrowing rate. the rate did drop. that's a pretty decent high, 6.3% to 5.2%. the co

yep, i can send them a note saying "ben is pretending to be ill."

. >> ben, how important a ruling do you think this is? >> well, i certainly think this is the most important ruling thus far. >> the most important, how so? >> the most important thus far because it makes us focus on the credibility of george zimmerman which is the central issue in this case. because everybody looks at the evidence, the only evidence that trayvon -- that george zimmerman issued is his version. and the other evidence, the 911 call, the situation where he says he did not get out of his car, he's pursuing trayvon, he confronts trayvon. those are george zimmerman's words, that trayvon attacked him. i think it's very important, the ruling that the judge gave out today based on the law. >> mark, does this hurt his credibility? i mean, if he was misleading in court and i mean, you down played this code. but it does show -- i mean, if it was an intentional desire to mislead somebody listening in on the phone, that's another example of being misleading. >> everybody's credibility who is going to ab witness in this case and even po

ben?> thank you very much for that report, ginger. >>> overseas now to egypt, look at these live pictures. this is cairo's tahrir square, overflowing with people. in just a short time, they'll announce who won the nation's kiss puted presidential election. depend on the answer, that country can erupt into cheers or chaos. the country may follow it. abc news global affairs anchor christiane amanpour has the latest. christiane? >> reporter: ben, here above a blistering, hot tahrir square, people are gathering to hear who won egypt's first presidential election. an election that pitted the muslim brotherhood candidate against ahmed shafiq, mubarak's last prime minister. it's right now warning against any violence depending on who is called the winner. it's deployed more than 1800 ambulances around the country and a lot of security. shoot to kill orders are also in place. ben and bianna, back to you sf. >> christiane, thank you very much for that. >>> now to ron claiborne with the other top st

i don't believe that ben bernanke will want to stick around. that is a very tough job and he is due for a vacation. >> is there blame? >> romney is on the record saying that he wouldn't support his staying on the job. >> it was pretty much the number one job of the gop candidate. >> i mean, he has used the tools to keep the rates low and stimulate the economy with the measures he had available to him. and the markets continue to do that. and now the question is do they act to start a new round in an attempt to keep rates low for an extebded period of time. it is hard for me to consider the depefeat of ben bernanke. >> this is going to be fun. >> it was a good try. he tried to inflate the stock market and real estate market. >> that you would lose money if you kept your money in a cd or savings account. and both efforts would fail. >> the markets would have more downside and we have seen the stock market give back it's gains since the beginning of the year. >> that is not ben bernanke's fault. it was up until we had the latest round of concerns.

ben is one of the best-known hosts in canada.e're happy to have him here as a "good morning america" and abc kri or the, great to have you. how was your day in new york yesterday. >> wonderful. enjoyed the weather here in new york. >>> lots to get to this morning. christie brinkley back in court. sparring with her ex, now this fight has gotten even nastier. >> the sparring is never end zblnchtsdz take a look at these photos. two girls extremely sunburned because their teachers would about allow them to apply sun screen. >>> and we're going to file this one under do not try this at home. a brave or stupid man, depending on how you look at it, challenging a bear to a fight. >> what are you going to do, bear? are you going to attack me, bear? we'll show you how this one turns out a little bit later and hear from the guy. what was he thinking or what was he drinking zmrfshlts but first, the gulf of mexico, the tropical storm debbie just formed. ginger zee is here to tell us where it's headed next. >> we need to watch where she's form

ben, did you know this was coming? it sounds really like a defense of the election commission more than the results itself? >> the results will come, jonathan, we need to stick in there. let me just stress one thing. this is part of the new egypt. officials feel obliged to explain why they acted in the way they did. and sort of lay it all out as much as possible to the millions of egyptians who actually cast their ballot. in fact, just a few weeks ago, we were waiting for a presidential debate, the first ever, that ever happened here in egypt before the first round. and it was the same thing. they explained to viewers on television why they had picked the candidates to go on this debate. what was the process whereby the decision -- the questions were drawn up. so this is really within the context of a new hopefully more transparent egypt where officials have to actually account for themselves. and account for their work. >> and i suppose, ben, also, this pain staking description is also to lay the groundwork for no fur

ben?>> jim avila, thank you. >>> joining us right now is mike bonnie, the attorney for the first victim who came forward. become, mr. bonnie. >> good morning. >> we know that your client was not in the courthouse. but what was his reaction to the verdict? >> i spoke with my client as he was driving to work last night. and he could barely contain himself. he was -- he was elated. words really couldn't describe the feeling that he had knowing that he was so very instrumental in seeing justice served last night. he was gratified in the decision. it confirmed to him how well his testimony went in. and the testimony of the other victims, as well. and he couldn't be more pleased. >> well, you said it. instrumental, indeed. not only was his testimony vital. but he opened the floodgates so so many other young men would come forward and testify against jerry sandusky. what are they feeling at this point? all the other victims, knowing that jerry sandusky's going to jail? >> i'm sure, to a person, t

think the end result now, i know in the house they want to repeal this, those going joe where fast, ben stein because of the makeup of the senate and wait and see if the republicans take everything and then repeal it, easier said than done. a lot of taxes coming our way, what is the effect. >> the effect is extremely negative. we don't want to discourage spending and we don't want to discourage investing. we're moving down the road to euro socialism at a rapid click. i think dagen as usual made a brilliant point when they enacted medicare, they thought it was going to cost pennies, and not bankrupt the company. the cost this have is going to be explode and more and more taxes and we have to take care of people, but we don't have to break all the eggs in the kingdom and try to put them back in their shelves in order to make a health care plan. this is a very round about way of doing it, yes, mr. obama has the power to do it, yes, the supreme court can say anything is constitutional that it wishes, and it's just going to be a ton of money, being sucked out of the system and being passed t
