(laughter) ek: and i won a full scholarship and that's how i got in. (laughter) (applause) ek: that's how i got here.

to stanley ann dunham and why he left the family. what happened there? >> guest: left the family in kenya or hawaii? host go in hawaii. >> guest: he met her in 1960. she was very taken with him and he with her genuinely. she would write back to her friends in seattle, i am in love with an african and i think they were very struck with one another. she gets pregnant with him and a few months and they get married in february of 1961. together a very short time. i would say because some of the immigration documents of obama sr.'s. apparently, they were not even living together but then five or six months. while she is still pregnant, she is living with her parents and he is living somewhere else. she has the baby in august and he is starting to look around for where he is going to go to school next. he is done very well the university of wai. he completed his phi beta kappa and three years hence applies worldly schools. he is really smart. he applies to many schools. he gets a full scholarship from the new school in manhattan. he gets a partial scholarship

. >> host: she goes back to kenya and at that point does he have any contact with his -- ann dunham and barack obama at time? >> guest: according to the president's memoir there are letters between speed and he although they divorced in 64 there was letter-writing because eventually he comes as we know to honolulu in 71 but i don't think it was a great deal. >> host: i want to come back to the 71 visit. how many wives did he have? >> guest: all told he had four wives. how many at any one time depends on who you ask. >> host: that was the other question. that was a tradition in his culture. >> guest: one of the irony is forcing him to leave because of all of these wives was they were polygamist then and continue to be in there was normal to have multiple wives it would be odd if you didn't have multiple wives. the difference with obama you tend to live on your compound and you live together as a unit. obama was a serial polygamist, he had multiple wives. how many at one time is complicated because it isn't clear if he divorced his first wife. the first is still alive and maintains they'r

it's a way to get rid of the anybody that's not good at making bad people white good death penalty dunham i want to go to get to you know i think e.p.a. is a waste of money you know why waste the money nevertheless a bill to abolish the death penalty has been introduced in the state legislature well the issue remains a more one for many the final verdict may be one based on overwhelming financial evidence. in los angeles ramon galindo r t. so these numbers beg the question does it make sense to keep the death penalty love it or hate it california is a state with some of the worst financial problems in the country and it seems a little odd to be spending so much on something that voters may want but it's literally bankrupting them and most states are struggling right now so in the places where capital punishment is legal does that actually deter crime so much that it's economically viable to continue to keep it around also help dig a little deeper here i want to bring in michael rupert the c.e.o. of collapse network in sebastopol california. and then michael i want to reiterate really quic
