movie "frankenstein" so i recently read the novel. i was like, hey, i started to look at the monster kind of differently. i was like, who is really the monster? to me this place is dr. frankenstein and we are the monsters. and i call this the belly of the beast. we're the outcast. we're the forgotten. >> all right. >> in my spare time i like to write, and i've been contemplating on writing a book. i started off like this. frankenstein, the moment you created me, you condemned me, rejected me, crucified and despised me. abandoned me emotionally, unleashed the very hell in me, often overlooked stepped upon crushed, no one stops to notice that my movements are poetic. my stride is determined. my love is unconditional. my spirit is free. although i'm a monster, there is a soul inside of me. >> i do not believe there is an employee in the indiana department of correction in any state facility that does not know the name christopher trotter. >> beverly gilmore is the confinement unit's case manager. one of her responsibilities is to evaluat

emily anthes is author of frankenstein's cat, cuddling up to biotech's brave new beast.she joined me now. your book is chock full of moral mine fields. had you realized how far along this science was when you started on this journey? >> i had some idea about what was going on in university and scientific laboratories. i knew scientists were tinkering with genes and brains, but it surprised me how far along this technology was in terms of trickling out to the public. you can now buy a glo in the dark genetically engineered pet or remote control a cockroach with a kit you can buy online. that was really surprised to me. >> now, we humans have been shaping animals to our needs for thousands and thousands of years. what's different about now? has science leapt ahead much faster than it took, for instance, to domesticate a cow. >> if you look at something like the dog, we've altered that immensely just through breeding. but our molecular technologies allow us to make changes more quickly and more targeted changes. you can change one gene instead of having to cross breed and a

class that looks at science and british literature, really neat learning about bacon, newton, frankensteinit's been really fun. >> what exactly did you do for your 21st birthday, crazy boy? >> went drinking. >> good. >> when in moderation, obviously. >> what's the biggest difference from there compared to here? >> i'm in central london, transportation is a big thing. able to walk around, take the tube, buses, really neat how connected london is. >> even though are you all the way in london, show us you still have not changed your clothes. yay! >> i'm sure you are promoting the show nonstopory there. >> you got it. big posters and and wifi stations in the tube, so people can check it out there. >> congratulations that you are legal drinking age. >> go drunk a bunch of pints. >> sound good. >>> real or fake video with the power to make you -- you know. thr three videos, real, or fake? >> ♪ [ roars ] ♪ [ roars ] ♪ [ roars ] ♪ [ roars ] ♪ [ male announcer ] universal studios summer of survival. ♪ >>> it's monday, everybody. so, of course, we'll check in with matt for some real or fake time wit

i wanted to get two of 'em on each side like a frankenstein bolt, and me and him had worked a deal, andt going back to him. and we kept going around for about two months. he said he was gonna pay somebody else to run 'em. i said, "well, you just need to give me my money back." and he didn't want to do it. so -- so i went for the [ bleep ] >> parker has been in trouble before. at another prison, he nearly strangled an inmate to death. he's serving a life sentence for murdering his step-mother and almost killing his father. >> i went and rang the doorbell. when they opened it, i shot 'em at point-blank range. a lot of people, you know, they villainize me for that, but like i said, i grew up with parents that didn't give a [ bleep ] about me, and i'm not trying to excuse my behavior. i wasn't racist until i started landing in jails and in prisons and kept getting jumped on over and over again. then i became racist. and i wear it proudly. i got the swastikas, and i got the schutzstaffel bolts. >> steven parker is crazy. he's a nut. i mean, no more, no less. he's not a person that's very int

what are the stories behind the frankenstein thing?- i was cutting tomatoes, and i didn't cut it there, and then i scooped it up like they do food network, and then i didn't cut it there either. very, very proud of myself. i was taking the knife full of tomatoes over to the bowl. >> you didn't cut it there. >> jimmy: i didn't cut it there but i almost did. the pot -- the pot was like this, and the knife went back and cut -- that's where i cut it. >> that's where you cut it. >> jimmy: i know a great guy who sharpens knives in the hamptons if anyone needs it. right on the tip. completely off. >> great guy to set you up. >> jimmy: yeah, dr. hampton. have you ever gotten stitches? >> i have. a long time ago, though. >> jimmy: when? >> in fifth grade. my buddy jonathan said come over to my house. i said sure. so we go over to his house. chain link fence. he jumps it. on the other side is his st. bernard. i went -- the dog is looking at me going, oh, no. no, mother. is he going -- [ growling ] i go jonathan, i don't think this a good idea. h

frankenstein. my creature started benign, but it's gone places i couldn't agree with. >>> the second awesomist thing on the internet today, a late night legend. the folks at cbc news have created this two and a half minute super cut of david letterman asking the same question over and over and over again to bands appearing on his late night show. and it's really kind of weird. >> beautiful. are these your drums? they're fantastic. are those your drums? great. nice drums. how are you? >> good looking drums. thank you very much. >> i love these. nice job. these are beautiful drums too, by the way. nice job. those are great. >> those are beautiful. nice job. >> hey, the man has a thing for drums. i'm not here to judge david letterman. get help. and the third best thing on the internet today. a vine is a six second looping video like the one shown here. unofficially a vine is kind of terrifying. it did strike some as a bit odd when the white house chose to commemorate a visit from cookie monster with a

i like -- i wanted to get two of them on each side, like frankenstein bolts, big swastikas. let everyone know i'm a racist son of a bitch, you know? >>> coming up. >> i'm the most popular one. they call me countess. big countess. above all. >> men who do their time living as women. >> i'm the wife. he's the man. i've got on my band. that's his. that's mine, that's his. got that right here. let's get the ball rolling. in parks across the country, families are coming together to play, stay active and enjoy the outdoors. and for the last four summers, coca-cola has asked america to choose its favorite park through our coca-cola parks contest. winning parks can receive a grant of up to $100,000. part of our goal to inspire more than three million people to rediscover the joy of being active this summer. see the difference all of us can make... together.

everything you know is wrong joining me now is emily and that's journalist and author of the new book frankenstein's cat cuddling up to biotech's brave new beasts emily welcome . thanks thanks for having me sure what sparked your interest in biotechnology in animals and while you're right there is this fascinating book. over the course of several years i just started noticing all these studies and stories coming out of university labs and i realized that we had these profound powers to modify animal bodies and unprecedented new ways so i got interested in exploring what that meant for us and for our future and also what it meant for animals is that. a fundamentally. good thing bad thing moral a moral. or is it like this is a tool depends on how you use it. exactly it's amoral in the sense that i think biotechnology itself is neither good nor bad it all depends on how we use it and going forward we have these choices we're going to be faced with about how we apply our new tools you know what are a couple of more interesting examples of animals in the use of biotechnology. well one of the coolest new

reporter: certain people messing up in certain situations, attract the pitchfork and like in the frankensteinyone looking to get a kick in. vice president dan quayle, didn't matter he spelled the word potato wrong, but will no doubt be in his obituary. or vice presidential candidate when she showed herself knowing something less about the world out there than she should have it got translated into instant "saturday night live." >> and i can see russia from my house. >> reporter: or another vice president, defined as having foot in mouth disease for remarks like this. among celebrities, jessica simpson and her food labelling. >> is this chicken what i have or fish? i know it is tuna. it says chicken. chicken by the sea. >> reporter: and shaquille o'neal asked whether he visited ancient greek parthenon, i want remember the names of the clubs we went to he said. and the glee, glamorous glitch in front of everybody. what melissa powell is coming in for now. the name of the winner of the miss usa pageant it is erin brady. she is the one who didn't mess up. so she is not viral. john donvan, abc new

the federal reserve frankenstein experiment is just not working, and we're going to become the next japanint, there may have to keep his experiments going because this is the worst thing that could happen to this economy. >> here is the funny thing. if they do stop the economy is going to slow down so much that it will keep interest rates down my prediction, we will make a new low on the tenure treasury. it is not over. the fed can basically handoff the low interest-rate environment to inflationary depression. you know what, we can't control this anymore. interest rates will stay down by market forces alone. that is what he is now seeing on the horizon. charles: he makes a fantastic academic argument for being bearish. i like up in the dow was up 165 points. what is the missing? >> in an academic sense i agree with a lot of what he's saying. fundamentally he is wrong. the fact is, you cannot separate those markets from reality in terms of the economy. you have to separate. he looked at the stock market, its acting on its own, on behalf of the fed doing its duty. rising on earnings per sha

when you get down in the details, it's not just devils but there's frankenstein and -- >> do you wantsee it pass? >> in the immigrant community -- i was in a room full of afro-aleen notice immigrants here in the bronx yesterday. for two days we were in meetings, listening, talking. people are not used to this but they've been around this before. and people who follow this more closely than all of us are, i sense, kind of ready for either way. if it passes, we're ready to accept that. but i'm already starting to hear people say, well, if this doesn't pass, we need to start looking for other solution. a lot of people don't know that most people in the united states have been legalized through what they call piecemeal where you have haitians, you have salvador and tps, you have deferred action like happened with the dreamers. you have different programs. many of which are right within barack obama's hands right now to do. and so that's why i was saying that the stakes are high, especially for barack obama. not just immigrants. he could end up, by the end of his term, end up departing 3.2

i am doctor frankenstein. [applause] >> i used to think that we had done something important and good. and then unfortunately we had the last cycles that we hit and that includes the bubble. we wound up foreclosing at this point on 4.5 million families in the system that we built showed the cracks and our feet and we have been trying to fix it and make amends ever since. if you think that i come here with a preconceived notion, you are right. i was given this topic and the title before i knew what was. although the title is a good title. why the status code is unsustainable and i would add two additional words, unsustainable and on unacceptable. there are reasons why it is unsustainable and unsuccessful. the federal government should not own the mortgage market. and the credit box is foreclosing homeownership opportunities for working families across the country jim lockhart's successor, at dimarco, is an outstanding public servant. whether you agree or disagree with his decisions, it is critical to remember t

they would get you know, like drummed out of office by a -- you know, a riot, the likes of young frankensteinon. are we going to see the exact same thing on immigration? >> hal: yes. >> people are going to bail on both sides of the aisle? i suspect so. >> hal: the big thing is militarize the border. you know. lindsey graham said that bill actually ends up militarizing the border. to me, it seems like a big pork spending thing. these states that are in this area that has any kind of claim border problem or immigration problem will just get federal resource money they can do what they want with. and the big argument i guess is that they want it so that the congress decides whether the border is secure versus the president. the president can go okay, here's the data. right now we have net zero illegal immigration from mexico. more people being sent back. the same number of people being sent back that are getting in. they're not the same people but we're doing that. we're at zero. >> it's even. >> hal: yes. what they want is that plus a wall and moats and -- >> alligators? >> hal: yeah. you know

he's like the frankenstein monster between the koch brothers and karl rove. that's really the driving influence. under pat mccrory who ran as a moderate but decided he wanted to be a puppet instead of a leader he has basically imposed what i think equates to medieval policies. cuttings federal funding basically refusing federal funding for medicaid, for the unemployment, so there are a lot of folks being hurt. it seems like the republican plan in north carolina is hurt as many people as humanly possible as quickly as possible. the entire population except the people who are like them. >> bill: it is a great movement. jeff messer again. we're talking to. the afternoon host on 880 the revolution in asheville. you can hear our show, the "full court press" and jeff messer's show at 880 the revolution.com. jeff, final question. i understand today there is a big contingent from asheville that's actually going to the capitol for the protest today correct? >> yes, there is. there are several busloads, asheville is well represented as far as the moral monday movements
