how do we establish -- how do we know -- how to newspapers establish credibility? i saw this news reporter who put a piece on youtube about gavin newsom just walking away. so how did these organizations establish credibility? how are people able to see the problems with bias that will never come up? there is also a problem with advertisers, backers. a millionaire putting $500,000 or $1 million into a newspaper, and he will expect something in return. he may not want his coverage to be negative. so there are all these things. i wondered if anybody had any general comments about those. >> that is a really difficult problem. if we think about the way we understand journalism today, it really is an historical aberration. that is not cutting back. we had objective journalism, which created shared narratives, but the truth is what we only saw was the narrative from a particular perspective. now, we have chaos. i'm not saying that is not a problem, but on the other hand, we need to think about the fact that we have a lot more voices and a lot more information, and we need

that we have three branches of government, for example, and how they interrelate to each other and how many supreme court justices there might be in any given moment in time. there's actual research that backs up the fact that tomorrow's voters, today's young people, are significantly lacking in information and knowledge about the way that their government works. the most recent national assessment of he is occasional progress in civics showed 80% of high school seniors are lacking proficiency in civic knowledge. that's a very, very high number. because these are high school seniors, we're talking about literally today's voters as of right now from 2010. we've gotten to this point it's kind of the history goes on for a long time. if you look back at where it all started with public education, really the original purpose of public education was to create citizens, and those of you that are familiar with own state constitutions would know that 40 of the state constitutions actually cite the importance of civic literacy in the constitution itself and 14 specifically identify civic educati

the first one was how media works. and the second one was how this risk of communication works in society. i didn't have any particular interest in west nile virus that then peered west nile virus is not there yet you then. but at this time of planning, i was looking for specific topics. there was a west nile virus out greek that was merely coincidence. if it had to be sars, it would have been about sars. >> so since then, been hours and the swine flu outbreak. have you noticed the media has changed the way they are reporting on house breaks? >> there is no change in terms of covering health risk issues come out rakes. they see that a substantial change in terms of how people recognize the principles of outbreak communication. so for example, w. h. d. zero and cdc came up with an interesting principle. and this is very help full for officials to deal with outbreak situations and also very generous, too. >> natalie at the 24 hour news cycle, you think the influence of media and health issues has changed? >> yes, having

that's what the tea -- that's how the tea party thing started. this is how they are ending. remember they started up at town halls and saying what is this healthcare bill? this is what they are ending up as. >> that looked like a deleted scene from "8 mile." oh, you just got snapped on. >> romney is getting fiesty. i like referring to the person as madam. >> yes, well she was the head of a brothel. >> who do you love the most? >> the finger ?ails -- the inning ifer nails were chewed. >> i like that they are getting harassed. i don't think he can handle himself if he is becoming vice president, and apparently mitt romney will have to ask -- the problem with that whole relationship with chris chris stey being vice anything, you can't have an alpha male when you are a beta male. >> imagine batman and robin's clothes, it gets to be like master blaster. ron paul is in the thing going, chris chris stey say you no run barter town. >> he backs off and looks as kristi and everybody is like, oh, we know what is about to happen. >> have i to tell you though -- i have to tell you, here

you still haven't answered me as to how much money, how he paid the money and how often he paid it andanswers? >> thank you. i do know the answers and it's not my place to come on to your show- >> what are you worth? >> i don't know. >> yes, due. >> no, i don't know. >> you're one of those people that knows exactly how much you're worth. >> i don't know how much i'm worth. >> you're a ruthless business machine. >> i am worthless. >> any can find out how much money i make. >> how? >> just, they can. why are you -- shut-up, just shut-up. >> how do you think larry king would have handled the situation, like any of those? >> in the graceful brilliant way he did with every situation for 25 years, one of my heroes. >> what do you think about larry king? one of your heroes? >> he was. i watched him for 25 years, he was an institution. part of coming here, he was a legend, like phil donahue. it must have been quite a moment to take over for larry king, a guy who did 7,000 shows in 25 years and part of the fabric of america. one thing i'm pleased about, we got to the end of the first year and f

that is how we are looking at it. it will also be supervised from the health care perspective and we will continue to discuss that issue. in the future, they have some projects that they are looking at to continue to look at charity care and the development partnership. but it is a concern and has been a concern for the health commission for the last four years or five years. to try to approach it from a future direction in terms of the large population that does not have insurance or coverage today will have that. and how you structure a program to ensure that the future of a vulnerable populations will be covered. we believe the program will address some of your concerns. >> on the issue of charity care, the board of supervisors has taken a position on this, calling upon cpmc to provide more charity care. as i understand, what you are envisioning right now is that you are asking that they provide about $86 million worth of charity care plus inflation. as i understand that figure, that figure basically, if they do th

not bad. >> host: how is it oozing? >> guest: the notion is that the everyday citizen, ones who are publicly informed of the general state of knowledge, human knowledge, have a high regard for scientific information. what is any physical evidence brought in to the courtroom, it is -- it registers very strongly in the minds of the juror. now, what's interesting is recent studies that show actually just saying it, we have a brain scan. you don't need the physical evidence anymore because we're so well trained to know what that means in our culture. less so 15-20 years ago, but now just saying that he's got a scan and the guy's got a legion, and that's all he needs to say and everybody's on board, so that kind of casual reference to the now we have an explanation because of a physical legion is the thing that is really overspeaking the facts, the truth, and that is what's being -- that's what's being challenged, and that's what i'm discussing in the book. >> host: say a little bit about what a brain scan is, what it shows,

how much did you know about concussions? how concerned were you about that?as difficult to see her go down. i think from the standpoint that she's important to our team. in terms of this is a concussion, and what that exactly means because the information wasn't as out there as it is now about what it means to have a concussion and what happens to the -- literally happens to the brain when there is a concussion. i don't think that we were as educated. >> one of the stats as well that frankly, i learned -- i don't know if you know this, brandy, but they say in a study if it -- take soccer, for example. if you compared girls or boys or men and women, women are 68% more likely to have a concussion playing soccer as compared to men who played soccer. in basketball women are three times more likely to have concussions as compared to men who play basketball. do you have any any idea, has anyone ever told you that? do you have any idea why that might be? >> it's a shocking statistic in terms of the disparity. but it's not surprising to me because when i watch young

how do you get over that hump? think one way we have to get over the hump is to let people understand that they really can make a difference. see, you know, he is right to a great degree, in that people have decided that they can't change anything. they can't do anything about it. but with 100 million people of voting age not voting in the past 25 years in federal elections, not a single election was won by more than 10 million votes. every one of them was that close. >> fair enough. but if the election, the districts are gerrymandered, 75% of the districts are controlled by the politicians, like kings over their own fiefdoms. i can't throw anybody out of those. 2010 was the biggest wave election in american history. and more than 75% of the congress people kept their jobs because the districts are gerrymandered. >> right. >> so you're up against a sense that even if i do engage or if i paycheck george bush or if i pick barack obama, and we thought there was a huge difference, they couldn't be more different betwee

it depends on how how interested they are in winning that race and that maybe just a few thousand dollars you know you have to be very flexible but we haven't really seen the full impact of citizens united yet because this is the first election that has come about since that ruling and with the super pacs able to invest unlimited funds in political campaigns some of which is not entirely transparent and which is not necessarily linked to the campaign you just have a entirely new mechanism for exerting great influence over over the election well how much do you think that negative campaigning really works you mentioned that it's a little tougher to shock you know the voters these days so what is it exactly that you think might really make or break someone it seems like infidelity doesn't really matter either. yeah i think in the case of infidelity normally the problem would be how the candidate reacts to it which is often the problem with opposition research is you know you throw something out there and maybe the voters don't really care but when you see how the man reacted which i think w

we look at how different the world was 15 years ago. so many of those changes have come through this amazing consumer internet that is now available to all of us. it makes our lives dramatically different, and it had disrupted so many sectors that touch our lives, whether you are talking about media, services. but there is one sector that has not changed enough, and that is the government. government technology broccoli is a $140 billion business. beyond that, government services, far larger than that. what we need to do is bring those amazing of entrepreneurs, so many of whom have come from here in san francisco -- we have the best of entrepreneurial country -- spirit in the country, to get them thinking not only about the challenges of the consumer internet, but the citizen internet as well. at code for america -- you might be wondering what we do. we are a peace corps for dekes. through our fellowship program, we have been getting great developers and designers to take a year off and work with city government. what comes from that ar

how did this double booking happen? >> caller: i don't know exactly how it happened.ingrich people called me yesterday to say he would be here at 10:45. we were getting ready for him this morning and during the night last night, i got a call from one of newt's workers in greenville. she says -- it woke me up because i go to bed early. she said is romney coming tomorrow, too. i said well i didn't know if he was. that will be fine. so, i went on back to sleep. this morning i get up at 3:00 and open the front doors and here comes people putting up gingrich signs. i said that will be fine. they are the ones that told me romney is coming. we never had two here at the same time. we'll take care of it. we are glad to have them. >> i know this is not the first time a candidate stopped by for breakfast. this time, how do you design the restaurant? do you allow them to put up signs wherever they want? do you do anything to separate the restaurant? >> nope. we have a wide open restaurant. they are welcome to come in. they are not going to come in and do any talking or debating i

so i think -- how to deal with the person who has violated the the law and is now in our custody, how we deal with them is something that should be very actively examined. i do not -- i leave it as a problem in the book because that is a huge issue in the research and needs a lot thought about it and a place where i think our society should think about it. let me give you one metaphor that's got me thinking about it is let's assume that our science becomes so exact on the brain of a wrongdoer. let's say it does. in the institute's we have recognized neurological diseases, parkinson's and others and we go to fix them, we try to fix them and that causes an abnormal behavior in the realm of the social effective behavior but nonetheless an abnormal behavior, so the model is there. now we've got this abnormal brain that is causing a weird social behavior and let's say will be moved to the idea that we can fix it for science and let's say we can that still leaves hanging this sense of we the minute there should be punishment here. >> host: and as you say in one of your chapter it is so nh f

and how would they be affected? then we think about different steps we could take to minimize impact, and then we talk about what we could do after the event to make sure that any damage that does happen is changed and everything looks just as good as when we started. there was a specific discussion about what sort of site inspections we may do. the city is used to hosting shorter events. what we do is have a site inspection before, and after the event, we have a site inspection, and then we can discuss how to repair any damage that is done, but as the event stretches on, we want to minimize the impact and make sure the city is well prepared. i have spoken to

how do we identify those individuals, how do we rescue them from situations and help them move from beinga victim to a survivor of human trafficking. at the same time we have to build the infrastructure and capability of law enforcement at the local, state, federal and international levels to identify the crime and build cases against offenders. we need public store support to under the crime. we need other organization, mobilizations and advocacy groups to help us understand. >> cheryl: if you suspect somebody might be enslaved, how do you report it? >> i would call your local law enforcement agency. look for a local provider in your community who services trafficking victims. if you're unclear, call the national human trafficking hot line 18882727888. it's manned 24 hours, # 7 days a week. exerts in human trafficking that can handle over 150 different languages and they have the network set up to get that information to those specialized providers and law enforcement agents. >> cheryl: thank you, john. appreciate your expertise and information. we do have to take a break. when we come b

that's very important. >> back dead center. >> i think he also knows how government runs and how he can work as president where he was speaker before he knew the ins and outs of washington. >> john? >> i also think the speaker knows how to work as a team with the people on the other side of the aisle, and the man in there now does not. >> the numbers have deteriorated for you. they are not what they were a month ago. if they find you electable why don't the polling numbers show it? >> take away 45 percent of the ads that were negative and the polling numbers would have showed up. we are adjusting to this new reality being much clearer in the contrast largely between me and governor romney. i feel very good about where the campaign is and where we are going. this has always been his third best state after utah and massachusetts. so it's an uphill campaign. even here in the last week you can feel a momentum shift. you can see it in the town hall meetings and the gatherings we had yesterday a tremendous turnout of veterans. i feel very good about it. i think the two debates were helpful. >

tom, how do you score it? >> well, i always let the voters decide how they want to score it. i really just try to call strikes here. who scores the most runs tonight, we'll know when the florida voters go to the polls. i think objectively, however, there was a different mitt romney on the stage tonight. i think in the last ten days or so, the questions have been both, can he throw a punch and can he take a punch? tonight he threw a punch pretty effectively against newt gingrich at the beginning. the speaker did not look happy on that stage. i think one of the essential questions about his work for fannie mae and freddie mac has never been asked. for all the explanations and all the accusations against him, what, in fact, did you do for 1:6 million? that's a simple question. i think on the other hand, governor romney still and will continue to have difficulty explaining the difference between what happened with health care and massachusetts and the obama plan. >> you have an insight, i believe, into these candidates standing up there that none of the rest of us can have since

you can do it, we'll tell you how. plus, how to retire with more than $1 million in the bank. how a teach er affects your child's future paycheck. you might be surprised how much a good teacher is worth. more than $15 trillion in growing. politicians are deadlocked on how to fix it. only you can tackle your own personal debt. lynnette is the founder of askthemoneycoach.com. are americans back to their bad old ways? we saw consumer credit up. are people more comfortable or living paycheck to paycheck? >> i think they are living paycheck to paycheck. we saw debt in november. american consumers added $20 billion to their credit cards. i think that people have this sense of frugal fatigue. we have hunkered down so long. it's the holidays, i have deprived myself so long, i'm going to go spend. >> some people are comfortable because the economics numbers are going down. i asked people what they are doing to stay out of debt. one guy said save is my diet. stop eating and stop spending money. it's not easy. it's easy to say it's a money diet. how do you keep the resolutions? >> don't

how would you best describe it? >> never been knocked unconscious, but i've got a ton of dingers, which we now know are, as i call them in my documentary, getting your bell rung. small concussions. what it really is, a fogginess. you can't really get your thoughts together. a little blurry. you see some stars and it's just really a hard time getting yourself back to the level, mentally, that you were at before you had taken the hit. >> and you go through the line, have a lot of players coming at you. are you worried about your head getting hit? you're a smart guy. you're trying to protect yourself. how much pain are you enduring when something like this happens? >> at the time i wasn't. i wasn't worried at all, you know, because that's the way you play the game of football. we weren't aware of the long-term ramifications of concussions like we are today. so i didn't worry about it when i played. >> as far as pain goes, i guess probably in part of same answer? >> part of the deal. comes with the territory. when you'r

they -- how they know how to do this in the world of dating.s tough. >> yeah. >> assuming they figured this outlet me know. i would say a couple of things. one, i think honesty is really, really important. i think that as a presenter as well as a recipient meaning if -- it is very disarming when somebody comes to you and says here is what we are doing. they give you like a really quick pitch. and this may or may not be for you. totally fine either way but just kind of want to have a sense of where you are and put it on the table. and it disarms the whole thing. like all of a sudden the people the other side as, you know, worried about hurting their feelings, et cetera, because you sort of -- you own it right there in the moment. i think that's incredibly important. the other thing is just the process thing. you have to have a very tight process for how you do these things. like a very brief pitch, way you follow up, and a very dlekt way of saying, you know, if you are interested let's move this forward and if you are not that's okay, too. i thi

many, how many, how many twins?o. >> they were born on different days in different years. >> how does that happen exactly? you might ask. the brother was born on december 31, 2011. six hours later his sister was born, january 1, 2012. >> >> adorable. >> cute. cute. >> they're not alone. they're joined by the twins in buffalo. born 33 minutes apart. their parents claim rowan was the last baby born in western new york in 2011. rory, in 2012. >> seeing the babies makes me want to be another. >> i have two. considering you and my husband. four kids. >> can't stop there. the bear family out of florida. >> that's right. their twin girls were born just a few minutes apart. still they were born on different days, different years. >> one, two, three. happy new year. >> happy new year. >> reporter: >> reporter: blake and jocelyn never expected their newborn twins to bring this much attention. >> this is jenna. this is leah. >> reporter: while the world was getting ready to say good-bye to 2011 and hello to 2012, the couple ru

you can see how weak she was, how thin.t see is what was inside. >> what was the hardest part for you, the hardest thing for you to get back? >> i think just my emotional state. i just wasn't able to cry. and i don't know. now i'm able to cry again and that's just one thing that was so huge for me because i wasn't able to cry over very, very -- this very, very sad accident that happened. >> the crash and tragic mixup that followed made her briefly famous. people joked with her about it. but whitney had a different reaction. >> i would just cry out to god a lot and just be like, why? why me? because everyone else in the accident, they were just amazing people. and so i never really understood why i was in a way left behind. i was just talking to my dad about it one day and i was like, dad, i don't get this. why me? he's like, whitney, why not you? >> so, for five weeks back in 2006, this was simply not a possible picture, right? what's it like to look over now and see this family as one? >> it's a constant reminder, constant

how do you deal with that? how do you run that?and how do you do it also when you can't even see the risk is. no one can brief me as to what the risk is. the ceo doesn't know what the risk is, the board of directors has no idea what the risk is, no one knows what the risk is because everything's being run in a black hole. this is wonderful, and i think that the conversation's certainly come a long way in the past few years, and hopefully that will be the beginning of actually being able to resolve the banks in some fashion over the next five years without feeling the need to destroy or attack or anything. you just need to fix it. nice to see you guys. >> thanks very much. >> have a good weekend. congrats on the toy and thanks for the book. >>> up next, new research providing new insight into the life of a dog. ♪ you ain't nothing but a hound dog, crying all the time ♪ this is an rc robotic claw. my high school science teacher made me what i am today. our science teacher helped us build it. ♪ now i'm a geologist at chevron, and i ge

how are you? >> you did great. >> we had a little fun last night. there you are. >> thornberry, good to see. >> thank you all for coming out. >> stay right where you are. don't get up. thank you all for being here. we appreciate you. could morning to you. thanks for coming out. >> we were just talking about -- [unintelligible] we auctioned off once a and ended up on ebay, and we bought it back. thanks for what you are doing out there. how are you, sir? it is good to be here with you. thank you for coming out. ♪ thank you for coming out. rick perry, how are you. thank you for coming. there he is, the navy then. good to see you, sir. >> good morning, governor. >> thank you for coming out. that is all right. how are you? >> we have georgetown, just north of austin. >> i am from stanford, connecticut. >> thank you for coming out. thanks for your service. we were over at georgetown. that is a pretty little place, just a gorgeous town. we really enjoyed the time we spent over there. we walked down -- we

how did you choose that and why? wow. i just want to say, it was wonderful seeing the actor portraying atticus finch. as i watched that i thought to myself, and i want to know what tony thinks about this, i thought there is no chance that tom robinson is going to get off. you know, that was such an ineffective appeal. now, is it a wonderful speech? it's a wonderful speech. is it beautiful? it's beautiful. is it incredibly well-written? yes. is it going to work? there's no chance. tom robinson must have been listening to that and saying, oh, my god. you know. there's a trick that's being played on you in "to kill a mockingbird." atticus finch represents the last republican lawyer. and i mean republican in the sense of the republic, of thomas jefferson, those kinds of people. the last lawyer who really believes that to enunciate the important principles of america is going to work. this is in a town where their first reaction -- i mean, tom ewell is an incredibly evil, disgusting person. everybody in town knows that. but th

it has been more the story of how technology operates as we have opened up technology how consumers are pulling that technology and using it in how they shop and pay. they are driving the innovation that we get credit for. i just want to pick a few examples of how this is happening. and i think you are going to see an acceleration of the kind of innovation i'm talking about. let me take consumer electronics. consumer electronics is a huge, huge business. we have right at my table, best buy, fries, many of the leading consumer electronics companies in the united states. at ebay, we are the no. 9 for largest consumer electronics destination in the united states. a little over $4 billion, a little over 20 million active consumers on ebay. over the last 12-18 months, we have had these and other retailers come to us and say, we want to discover if we can sell on ebay. we are looking for additional channels. and the reason is what i referenced earlier. ebay has been blessed with tremendous success in our mobile applications. ebay mobile applications have been done loaded -- downloaded 65 mill

that's not how i was raised.that i wouldn't be able to live with myself, go on with the rest of my life knowing this was all a lie. so i wanted to be able to correct it and come out and tell the correct story, the full accuracy of what happened. >> did you come under a lot of pressure from people in the military, perhaps, and politically as well, not to do that? >> no, no, not at any time was i -- i mean, we had criticism and stuff, but of course, i felt that i had to do the right thing, and i did. that was what was most important to me. >> you entered the army at 19. >> 18. >> 18, why would a nice young girl from west virginia join the army? >> i couldn't find -- i wanted a better life for myself. there really wasn't a lot of jobs. for me, i want today have enough money to go to college and become a school teacher. >> did you ever imagine in your wildest nightmares you would one day be on the front line of somewhere like iraq? >> no, never. i literally, i joined july of 2001, went to basic training, and then was

how you doing?maybe the bigger question is, every day these guys go after each other with all the negative ads, all the attacks. is it hurting you guys in the big picture? republicans? >> i believe it is. i think it's beginning to form an armed camp with the gop at the grass roots level. my concern is coming out of this, certainly going into future contests, most especially getting to the convention, whether or not people are going to be in a frame of mind to fight barack obama or still fighting each other? my hope is that the adults in the room will take control of this thing. >> who are the adults in the room, michael? >> it's candidates themselves. they need to take control of this thing. mitt romney, make your case. you don't need to tear down opponents to make your case and connect with voters. the other candidates, you don't -- >> here's the problem, obviously. it worked. >> isn't that funny? yet at the same time, you're looking at a race in which, within's party there's going to be greater po

how can we respond, as a community. ? we have had several murders since i have been in office, and every time i look at how i can support the family, victims, regardless of the situation. try to get people involved in talking with the police, helping the community feels safer. these are the ways that i would like to be able to respond, something that i would always like to be a part of, the effort, as supervisor. one thing that i am tackling and expect to be for a long time is looking at how muni operates in my district. the 14 bus is one of the busiest routes in san francisco. in my district, it is very well used. oftentimes, the muni bus does not go all the way to the end of the line. i am trying to work out how we can actually extend down to daly city. so if you want to get downtown, from my area, you can take the bart it, and then go downtown, and be there within 20 minutes. right now, you take the 14 bus 2 balboa station, and it will take you 40 minutes just to get to balboa station. that is one thing i am looking at

how to take on mitt romney. win or lose here tomorrow night, he's a much weaker candidate than just weeks ago. and that's because the obama campaign has been taking notes on mitt and has a blueprint they think for beating him. and the man florida republicans love to hate. former governor charlie crist. tonight here on "hardball." on his former party. on whether president obama will carry the sunshine state come november. and finally, let me finish with newt versus romney. revenge is the italians say is a dish best served cold. we begin with romney's negative assault on gingrich. and with me here in miami are the two pros. already taking this town by storm. morning joe's joe scarborough and mika. i was at your event this morning at the deli. and those people were lined up, what, at 4:00 this morning to catch you. >> there were some very colorful characters there. >> was jackie mason there? >> jackie mason. also the miami herald reported that strippers were there. >> okay. >> not strippers. women of the night. tha

how is that? the gerrymandering of the way people are elected to congress has contributed to dysfunctional democracy. attempts to force people to create do credentials that have the effect of keeping people increasingly from voting locally, aggressive attempts at this. it's outrageous. undermining democracy. i would love to hear the president talk a little bit more about the future of democracy. people always say -- and you can see i sense a little dissatisfaction that i have with the president, but people always say he faced such huge obstacles. so much political opposition. how can he possibly do with this? but the president has the famous bully pulpit. he can make a speech when he wants to to the nation. he can do it over and over again it is better to be president, believe it or not, then on and fox news. i'm not even joking. you can get on the air and you can educate people. at least you can present your point of view. you can tell them government spending matters at this point. you can tell

how can we understand how that process works, how does that work? having to go to the whole thing, they give us a mail of how decisions get made and whether you think that process is working and how hard would it be to tweet it to see children were adequately attending. >> well, and not you're obviously is a children her. and certainly not here as the budget expert. that guy sitting on the other side of you and those more about that than the rest of us combined. so i should be deferring to him, but i can talk a little from the standpoint. as i listened to this discussion here today, it occurs to me that there's really two things at work here. we are talking about a budget issue and then we are also talking about a priority. i do think anybody in the grim for anybody that would be listening to disagree with hardly anything that has been said appeared about how important children are. and the outcome of the question is then, why are children being made to priority? said that is the fundamental question. and it comes back to the budget. when you come t
