yards were the site of the notorious gladiator fights of the mid-1990s.g from that scandal. at the time, officers were keeping known gang rivals apart to cut down on inmate assaults. but it wasn't all that effective. >> in the olden days, it was more guys trying to kill each other. but we still have those. >> whenever violence broke out, the control tower went into a well-rehearsed routine as seen in this demonstration from 2000. >> the inmates start to fight, first thing you do is you activate the unit alarm. then he would yell at the inmate -- >> get down, get down, get down! >> first rounds we fire are wood blocks. hopefully it will make them stop. we really have to escalate with our nonlethal options, this is what we call a scat round, which is really irritating. it's also a lot louder. >> the smoke you see there, that's cn gas. it's no fun. it messes up your sight. we have a mini-14 here, the 223 round. but we only use that as a last resort if the inmate has knocked another inmate unconscious and he's kicking him in the head or something. >> corcoran

there is a gladiator feel to it, when you look at how hard the hits are. it is really at the cost of these individuals' futures. >> it keeps us from hitting each other on the head. see you next week. do you remember what you did with your last cell phone? in the us alone there are over 500 million cell phones laying around ready to be recycled. what happens to all these old chargers and cell phones? unfortunatel y, many of them are thrown away. cell phones contain lead, mercury, arsenic and other poisons. these toxic chemicals can find their way into our water supply when they're thrown into landfills - and pollute our air when they're incinerated. right now, less than two percent of our used cell phones are being recycled, but we can change that. when you're ready to toss your old cell phone, check out your local recycling program, or go online recycle my cell phone. (dot) org there are lots of easy, free, and tax- deductible ways to recycle your phone. now that makes sense!

imagine the roar of the fans packing this place nearly 2,000 years ago, as gladiators battled wild animals the floor was covered with sand to absorb all the blood. the word "arena" actually means "sand." while the grand city of rome could afford exotic beasts, like tigers and lions, from faraway places, smaller towns like arles made do with snarly local beasts, like wild boar, bears, and so on. like in nimes, the arena in arles is still used for concerts, bullfights, and other spectacles. in tumultuous medieval times, locals bricked up the arches, turning the stadium into a fortified town. over a hundred humble homes were crammed within its circular defenses. three of its medieval towers survive. perhaps arles' most famous resident was a dutchman -- vincent van gogh. he was 35 when he moved here in 1888, and it was here that he discovered the light that inspired in him an explosion of creativity. van gogh, coming from the gray skies and flatlands of holland and paris, was inspired by everything provencal. he claimed, "the whole future of art is to be found here in the south of france." her

instead, they seemed to imitate gladiators, stalking, finger pointing, moving aggressively towards each other. as politico's mike allen put it, the secret service must have been on edge. >> they must have been, jon. so, you were telling me there was somebody else in the room that won, a surprising winner? >> reporter: yes, diane. the clear winner of last night's debate was jeremy epstein. as you recall, jeremy was that 20-year-old college student who asked the very first question about getting a job after he graduates. well, since then, "get jeremy a job" has been trending on twitter. a sign that his job prospects are up. and after the debate, he talked to both candidates, even got a promise out of mitt romney for a job after he gets out of college. but diane, i don't know if that will happen. jeremy told us he is no longer an undecided voter. if the election were today, he said he would vote for obama. >> oh, but talk about networking. thank you, jon, weighing in his own scorecard tonight. >>> we have more evidence tonight that the u.s. housing market is coming back to life. the number

for many elections before this they cover politics like a horse race to jack up ratings because gladiator competitions draw more eyeballs than policy discussions since the corporate media is beholden to corporate advertisers and thus beholden to ratings they have to frame their coverage as a sporting event rather than a walkie discussion about policy even though walky discussion about policy he's actually what our nation needs right now policy is also what the media used to be really good at before it lost its way in the corporate world we don't know what questions will be asked in the do it tonight we can hope that they will be focused on policy on the stuff we need to know stuff like how mitt romney's plans to replace obamacare will lead to seventy two million americans losing their health insurance or how romney plans another massive tax cut for the super rich folks like himself twenty percent you know or how president obama plans to stop the loss of american manufacturing jobs and how that might conflict with the fact that his administration is negotiating the transpacific partnership

and when you have two gladiators going after each other the crowd expenses when one is afraid. it is called flop sweat, it is not visible but the actor on the understands when the performance is not going well and it just throws off your whole game. >> rose: i actually believe that he understood well on it wasn't going well. >> i think he came out, he seemed a little tentative even before it got anyway. romney hit his stride at the beginning and no worming up, among his strongest period was the first five minutes but he was pretty consistent throughout and i think the president didn't call, and adjust at all and just decided to keep doing what he was doing and, you know, it is a rare event in our politics these days when something like the cbs poll and the cmn instant polls and the yen consensus is not divided along partisan lines. overwhelmingly people saw the president lost that not because they thought governor romney's tax plan adds up, not because they want to turn medicare into a voucher, it was purely, as far as i am concerned, style and confidence. > >> rose: when the g

weather the body builders would pile into our old cars and head out to the countryside and do the gladiatormeat and drink wine and occupy ourselves with girls. >> jimmy: to me now, and it seems, sound a little bit like, arnold schwarzenegger's autobiography. >> i don't know what you are talking about. maria made up her mind. i couldn't blame her. not only had i deceived her about the love child with mildred, the maid, but i also couldn't stop thinking abut this woman, her bulging, heavy thighs and droopy underwear. just the sooight of her man handling a vacuum around the house drove me wild. i had to have me. you have cleaned me for so long, now it's my turn to clean you. we were look two wild boars making sweet, sweet passionate love in a pasture. she could do this thing with peanut butter and a -- just like. prescripti >> jimmy: seems like. does have a similar, the book jacket. >> big deal, all the. so what? >> backstage i was reading it. and to be honest with you i look it better than my book. i decided to read it out here. >> jimmy: it was good. what is going on with you televisionwise.

that's why all the gladiators entered the coliseum with that thundering music. >> actually, they do thata distinctive musical theme that puts fear in the hearts of opponents. that renders them even before the match began. you could enter with pacbell. bach. >> i have it. listen to me. i'm picking the song. >> of course, you are. >> this is a man that you instantly get behind. and it's all my self-sacrifice is because of him. and you love him so much. that's why i was excited to do it. that's why you believe it. >> it's really nice to see you two hanging out here, off-camera. i wonder, an iconic character, arthur fonzarelli was. how many fonz references are happening on the set every day? >> you know what? there was so much work because of all of those fights, you know, we did them over weeks and weeks and weeks. and this guy would be thrown like a rag bunny. and this big boy moves like a panther. >> i'm like a very thick panther. but -- >> it's true. >> between takes, i'm literally asking him everything about "happy days." about fonz. dancing william. what's bobby doing now? he was the g

sense of just how much was at stake, made the mood tense and historic. 90 minutes of two political gladiators battle in boca. afterwards, both sides claimed victory. here is how some of the seasoned and political minds saw the debate. >> mitt romney has the demeanor, the temperament, the principles, the skills, to be a great person policy president. >> what governor romney showed today and i felt badly because it's clear he is not ready to be the commander-in-chief of the united states military. >> nobody won. it was a draw. >> boring. so boring. it was the most boring debate i've ever seen. >> governor romney, while he may have "lost the debate" looked like a commander-in-chief. and presented himself in a presidential way. >> i think the president was very aggressive and it's hoard win a debate when you're not in that mode. >> i think it's unequivocal, romney won. not just tactically, but strategically. >> eric: so, let's each take a minute or so and call the debate the way we saw it. bob has promised he won't interrupt anyone. start with andrea and run around the table. what did you think?

it has this gladiator feel to it. it's been completely reenergized. >> i'm liking this steal.omebody has a bad night. they deserve a second shot. >> yeah. >> should be exciting. >>> audiences in paris are buzzing about black fashion week, the first time the city has hosted such an event. it kicked off today with a fashion show that featured collections by 15 designers from africa. the event was organized by a french designer who was born in senegal. she said african designers are often underrepresented in the fashion world and she wanted to bring their talents and their achievements to a global audience. the show heads to montreal next month, and then to brazil in march. >>> when we come right back, a liquor store customer comes to the rescue of a clerk after an out-of-control truck kraeshs right into the store. ♪ ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] combine the pnc cashbuilder visa credit card with a qualifying pnc performance select checking account and earn 75% more than cards earning 1% cash back on almost everything. >>> it's still early october, but as you can see, some folks are alre

they like the gladiator. >> oh, yeah. >>> also, this interesting news.ouple that famously/infamously crashed the white house state dinner? we told you a few months ago the woman left her husband tareq, they got divorced officially in august when she decided to run away with the guitarist from journey, neil sean. guess what? apparently a couple days ago he brought her up on stage at a concert and popped a question to our now engaged. apparently got her an 11.5 carat diamond ring. she and her ex-husband tareq filed $50 million, he against her, filed a $50 million lawsuit against her since dismissed. all that is water under the bridge. called her up on stage. giddy. like a little girl. jumped up and down. obviously said yes. now the two are it. she left her man for the rocker. now the rocker has proposed and given her a big rock for that finger. the salahis, america's favorite couple. >> please, no reality show. >> oh, please, dear god. >> hulk hogan had a reality show, and one that was too real, the sex tape that was leaked. >> yeah. >> we're not going to

barack obama did not damage himself he did not come in as said gladiator he seemed to want to have discoursedid not do brand damage but to say mitt romney came out a couple notches ahead. if he could do that the trend is significant the president will have to up his game to be more in a fighting spirit. he seemed like he wanted to get it over with. that is the prerogative but it was a good night for the republicans. neil: neither one was wearing a watch. [laughter] historic they those with knicks then/kennedy and reagan and/carter. today confirmed the trend or reverse was a trend? >> now there will be fact checking. we will see how that pans out. did mitt romney get a bounce? and donor money gets reenergize but not a sound bite to live on. there was the one about the airplane. neil: you cannot have there own fax. >> nothing that will be on 10 days from now but a feeling. it could be seen as significant. neil: you are a historian and i read teleprompter is. i am in your league. i have a theory. not to disparage the president but those who support him are ratigan discern and there is still con

no longer a family event. >> we are athletes, not gladiators this. isn't the roman coliseum.omebody getting knocked out, i don't care who it is, it's sickening. it's 100% sick neng. i've never been so embarrassed in my life to play football than at that moment right there. >> i'm so glad he stood up, and he also in that quote talked about tough economic times and that's an interesting time. the tougher economic times, the more we see of this horrible behavior. >> however, i applaud what he said, but it isn't often the players who get up and celebrate the most after they deliver a hit to someone. >> things over the last year and a half have changed things. players have respect for each other. this is a brutal sport. >> and he acknowledged the fact that he's actually probably not going to live as long as he would because he played the sport. >> got to get players to stop celebrating to deliver the blow that puts somebody down and the other incident was atlanta, the controversial call on the infield fly and fans start throwing bottles on the field. we've clearly crossed the line

we're not going to have the second debate where they were gladiators on the arena floor.onight i don't have any idea. people are saying oh, they will be more somber and calmer and so on. bath i don't think we know. one thing i do suspect, however, is that it is going to veer away from foreign policy and get into domestic policy again. i talked to a man in my building as i was leaving this morning and i said your watching the debate tonight and he said i don't think so. i said you're not? he said no i don't care about -- i don't care about foreign policy. i don't care about israel and iran. and i'm wondering if that may be the reaction of a lot of americans who want to hear more about the economy than foreign affairs. new make a great point. however this morning there were surrogates on both sides talking about what we can expect to we hear it comes to libya tonight. take a listen. >> it's important we don't politicize this process. in other tragedies america came together. it's unfortunate those across the aisle is trying to divide us. >> he's asking the president of the

all kidding aside, on the one hand we want the alpha males and want that we're a society of gladiators and respect that and yet, on the other hand, he talked over the moderator or rude to the president, and i think we're spending so much time on that stylish u of mano-a-mano and where that goes on the continuum i think it's a metaphor for how do men act in society overall >> i think dony is right. if i'm an independent female voter who hasn't yet decided i saw a lot of male posturing last night and i did not hear enough specifics. >> yet you want to see that strength at the same time. >> i want to see strength, presidential strength. i don't want to see boys bickering, and i don't like it when people start doing this. >> i'm with you, and i thought they were demeaning to candy, and -- and there were times i thought president obama forgot -- has forgotten that he has doubters. >> was he demeaning to jim lehrer? >> interrupting. >> was he more demeaning to candy than jim lehrerier? >> i thought romney came in as a ceo, he ran the board meeting and then he dismissed the board. he ran it l

when you see him in the movies he's playing the master commander and gladiator, big, a big presence, grand being. romney seems to transvigor himself that way last night. >> what he did was remarkable. think about it for a moment, chris. he walked out on the stage and fired the moderator. not only did he fire the moderator, he fired -- >> he fired big bird. >> he fired charlie rose. he fired kermit the frog for god's sake. >> watch him do that. in one of the more memorable lines of last night romney made. let's move the prompter. he made a straight shot at the moderator, pbs' jim lehrer. >> i'm going to stop the subsidy to pbs, i'm going to stop other things. i love pbs, big bird, i actually like you, too. i'm not going to keep on spending money on things to borrow money from china to pay for it. >> chris, remember what he told us, he warned us a long time ago, we should have listened, he said he liked firing people he came out on the stage and demonstrated it for us. he was having a wonderful time. this is what we used to do at bain capital, we made a lot of money, this is what i'll

this is a gladiator, no one beat him up. but anyway, kenny isaacs was a big influence because, to make a long story short, three years later, kenny isaacs was in my corner. and a fellow lived next door to me, eddie mccarthy, who was a professional fighter, 135-pound, lightweight, very good guy. and he took me under his wing. but then he went off to the korean war. just before he did that, he turned me over to a local boxing hero, kenny isaacs. and he told kenny, "kenny, take young paul here under your wing. he's my protege." kenny did that. and i was gonna retire as soon as i won the flyweight championship of north america, but i never got that far. i got up to the silver medal for the aau in new england at the age of 17. and that was about it. after that, in the follow-up fight, getting ready for the nationals, i got knocked out, the end of that career. another big influence on my life was burl grey, a sign painter that i met back in the late fifties. burl was painting in miami and i was assigned to paint with him. no one e

>> well, the job is not to be gladiators, because it doesn't matter which of them is better in a cagethe question is what can they do to strengthen the way people approach the presidential debate. biden has to find a way to put romney on the spot, not ryan on the spot. >> andrew sullivan has a new article on the daily beast website called "did president obama just throw the entire election away?" and he writes in part, "i've never seen a candidate self-destruct for no external reason this late in the campaign before. i'm trying to see a silver lining, but when a president self-imlates on live tv and his opponent shines with lies and smiles and a record number of people watch, it's hard to see how a president and his party recover." professor, forget the debates, how does president obama and the campaign move on to win from here? because we're seeing such a tightening of the polling across the country, certainly in battleground states as well. >> well, the easy job for any incumbent is to say look at the good things i've done and look at the bad things you've promised, but they also ha

everybody's talking about, the fallout from last night's contentious battle between two american gladiators for the presidency. romney versus obama. it was an aggressive showdown over benghazi gate and the economy. there was a tko technical knockout. we're going to tell you who went down for the count and what it means for the election. the "kudlow report" just moments away. kudlow report" just momens away. >> i promised you would i would find it, i'm jim cramer and i am see you tomorrow! larry, what do you have? >> guess what, housing is coming online and it could really boost the economy. think about it. good evening, i'm larry kudlow. breaking news right off the top. the fbi thwarts a terror plot to bomb the new york federal reserve. under arrest a 21-year-old bangladesh student boasting ties to al qaeda. also, the white house once again changing their cover story on the benghazi terrorist attack. now minutesal, jay carneyay
