dr. keith ablow. great to have you on. thank you somuch. >> it is my pleasure.a clinical psychologist. you have an active practice. you see people all the time to have issues. what sort of issues -- we hate to speculate, but what drives anybody to do something that calculated? >> well, i have done this for 20 years. i am a forensic psychiatrist. i evaluate people who have done horrific things. in many different circumstances. the common trait these folks have is a lack of empathy. things break your empathy of very nature. one is if you have been exposed to physical or emotional abuse. you can stop feeling for yourself and for other people. it also makes you more vulnerable to substance abuse. which further reduces your capacity to feel for other people. believe me, other mental illnesses can intervene. you can have people who are psychotic, delusional, believing they have to kill people in order to save the universe. this is the evaluation that needs to be done. intervening psychiatrics and the disorders. the early chapters of his life story are such that the se

dr. keith ablow tells us if that's normal or nuts. what's going on over there?know that -- on this -- but first on this day in 1985, every time you go away was the number one song and why are we going away? we could be looking at them. isn't it time you took the family into america's backyard? then you belong at bass pro shops. celebrate america's rich hunting traditions at the upcoming fall hunting classic - our biggest hunting show and sale of the year. >> up and at em. rise and shine. 7:53 is the time. and now for your news by the numbers. first, $190 million. that's how much taxpayers will spend each year to maintain 14,000 unused government buildings. next, nine. that's how many months probation she will serve for collecting food stamps after she cashed in on a $1 million lotto jackpot. finally 13%. that's how many people have already started their christmas shopping with exactly six months to go. guys, normal or nuts? >> that's nuts! talking about the segment. >> am i normal or am i nuts? >> can i vote? >> no, you cannot! it's a question we all ask ourselv

dr. keith ablow a psychiatrist. what say you about this?be obvious from the video. it's child abuse. it's sexual abuse of a 6-year-old boy by the adult women who participated in making the video. any producer involved. and his parents who apparently gave permission for this to occur. >> bill: they did. now, the women aren't undressed. the women are in bathing suits they are riffing around and the kid is doing his rap. is he a professional by the way kid rapper. so why would you say this is a crime? crime has been committed? >> the crime is this: they are making sexual gestures towards him. nobody would pretend that if you walked up to a child on a beach and started to urge him to say these things while you danced in an erot particular fashion around him that you ought not be arrested for doing that. that would be child endangerment. that would be child neglect or abuse if the parents didn't step in. we have to decide as a country are we going to allow people to sexualize our kids to expose them to erotic energy and content because if we are

dr. keith ablow from fox news medical a team.g. >> you too. >> i think dave and i and probably aly too give our sons and kids action figures to play with. my son playing with avenger action figures right now. he is 2 years old. is this setting him up for failure? >> look, i don't think so. i understand there is a balancing act. you wouldn't want to deluge your children with constant messages that they need to be perfect physically. but, kids have always had will idealized role models according to gender. you know, you could make the argument, i guess, that you shouldn't take kids to football games. we wouldn't them to think they should be that fast or that strong if that's what we're telling them to be. number one, why not? number two, these action figures they don't qualify for diagnoses of anorexia or bow lehman i can't. if anything ideal body weight. >> they're ripped and jacked. big arms, the cut a.b.s. i have a lot of action figures at our house and they are, i will say they are very chiseled figures, is that a bad example f

dr. keith ablow think?e's a forensic psychiatrist and a fox news contributor and joins us from boston. >> good morning. >> what do you think? >> well, here is the thing, obviously, this terrible calamity is the last point on a timeline where student, somebody who intended to be a heal, neuroscientist and became a mass murderer and leaves behind a trail of carnage and a highly trapped booby trapped apartment and took weeks or months to put together. sounds on the face of it quite insane, but mental illness doesn't meannessly that he would be found not guilty by reason of insanity and still have intent and be mentally ill. >> alisyn: dr. ablow, something came up with one of our experts, said at this level, he was in a doctoral program at neuro science, that students are given or subjected to psychological testing, i guess, that the university wants to make sure that you are capable of the sort of rigor that med school demand. would he have had some psychological testing recently? >> well, james holmes was a c

dr. keith ablow to look at the psychology of the statement.ndset that middle class individuals have as opposed to wealthy individuals? i don't think so. i think people in general, americans value achievement. americans aren't hostile to the fact that financial success often follows achievement. the president, last time i checked, didn't turn back his book royalties or his salary. he hasn't decided not to be a millionaire, but what he's implying for the rest of america is a kind of don't look behind the curtain. the fact that your income may be limited, that's because you're choosing that because you're not a pig at the trough, like those other americans who want nice cars or want to send their kids to fine schools, they're greedy people, who are trying to take from you, and they don't get it right. see, this is the president at his core. it's what he really believes. he has contempt for our system, deep, deep contempt. >> wouldn't this be flipped on the other side and folks on the right would say, wait a second, is it appropriate to say, the e

dr. keith a ablow. you are punishing the team. spectators who like the game. good people taking $60 million out of their operation. they had nothing to do with this pedophilia or the cover-up of it so the punishment is unjust. you say? >> i say it's perfectly just. listen, sportsmanship and character are part of the game. and if you are at a place that has shown none of that by virtue ofics posing children to rape, well then, yeah. you know what? there is some scatter effect. too bad you are not able to participate in the game the way that you could have before. you are in the wrong place at the wrong time. >> bill: undeniable -- students and players didn't have anything to do with it. they go another option with the university. >> absolutely. >> bill: the university says they can transfer to any school they want. i agree with you there has to be a punishment at this level to discourage anybody else from ever doing this again and that's why the punishment is necessary. but you can't deny that innocent people are getting hurt in the process. >> any time you enf
