sorry jason, i almost stepped on your hand here.ore nice breaths there; every inhale, you may notice if you fill all the way up by your collarbones that your body pops up a little bit and every exhale sink deeply into the mat so shoulder blades sink down; legs get nice and long. if you're strong through the core keep your legs straight, roll back towards center otherwise bind your knees and roll back, everyone should end in center knees bent pulled in towards their chest; rock side to side, gently massage that lower back. one last twist and we're done for today so go ahead and open up your hands into that giant t, palms downward roll your knees off toward the left hand side. once again, establish hips and knees if you feel good there i want you to stay there. otherwise, straighten through your legs, you can hook your big toe or big toes with your left hand and look out over your right shoulder. so you're relaxed through your legs, relaxed through your torso. every inhale you may notice it pops up a little bit and every exhale your b

stick to the natural trouble is the evidence for evolution isn't there he says how many times i hear jason just say that anybody that doesn't think like him must be irrational must be someone who believes in myths and not in reality well i'm sorry i'm a scientist a geneticist and i don't i don't believe in through evolution because i don't see it happening frogs don't become princes in one hundred fifty years in any hundred fifty million years in my lab i don't see it in the fossil record i don't see any evidence for what the evolution is supporting aside from microevolution large changes going from bacteria human just aren't there that's a belief system so it's wrong to say that they. are not dogmatic about something they're definitely dogmatic about their position concerning natural reason because jason has been on this whole show jason you want to reply to that please do so because it was a joy so i don't think it's a result not of good will that is it is well for ignorance and so you know all of all the things that we look at in the past you can see you know we adjust our every time we

engines are going to jump in there isn't a something it's belief it's a point of the program jason your head. i don't know if you want to call it to the source of all the money but it's all going to let me go to. live with jason replied go ahead and we'll go to rob go ahead so lauren said specifically you must believe in god or you must believe in a purely naturalistic world and that's a false dichotomy it's a logical fallacy he also said. he also put forth that atheists had the position that we are holding that there is no god no matter what i already said it's a lack of belief if you approach the world in a problem in a proper manner the burden of proof is still on the person making the positive assertion the positive assertion is the extraordinary claim that there is a magical being in the sky that created the entire world that is the one that has the burden of proof you know lawrence and other religious people have to prove that to others otherwise the only logical position to have the only intellectually. only position of intellectual integrity is to reserve. is to not accept a position th

good conduct medal -- hah. >> i am jason crawford. i went to iraq and afghanistan. knew these medals were meaningless. i only regret not speaking up about how silly the war is sooner. i am giving these back. free bradley manning. hurd.name is jason i spent 10 years in the united states army as a combat medic, deployed to baghdad in 2004. i am here to report -- to return my global war on terrorism service medal. i am deeply sorry for the destruction we have caused in those countries and around the globe. i am proud to stand on the stage with my fellow veterans and my afghan sisters. these were lies. i am giving them back. chris.ame is i was part of the invasion of iraq in 2003. out of love and respect for the iraqi people and the people in afghanistan, i want to return these representations of hate and instruction back where they came from. -- hate and distraction back where they confront. >> i was in the air force from 2003 to 2007. i joined the military to joy -- to go to college. for not fighting imperialism anymore, i am fighting against imperialism, and this is

i think the heroism will shift from the people like jason to the people in the community around him. nk that's a great point, and i think that's happening. i see it happening. and i see it happening with people like kobe bryant and lebron james making those statements. so not only is jason going to be a great role model federal young athletes who are gay. these overall role models, the epitome of masculinity in our soept are our athletes. and people trump up their masculinity because they're so strong and so fast and so tough. but that physical strength is nothing in comparison to the level of strength when they stand up for an oppressed minority, and they make a stand when someone says something that is offensive. i think they're setting that example, and i've been so proud to be a part of this segment of the athletic history because we are taking this on and redefining masculinity and i'm so proud to be a part of it. >> schieffer: go ahead. >> the leagues have taken a lead role there. we understand that the role modeling and being able to set an example and how it trickles all the w

i don't know what would happen to the conversation if it was jason. >> how you doing? >> yes. >> did you see that before you made this announcement or afterwards? >> i saw it before i made the announcement. >> i have to say, when i was watching that movie and you're thinking well, these people are so backwards and that mentality. it did occur to me oh, well, it's still like this in a lot of ways for homosexuals in men sports. not so much in women's sport, but i think in men's sports that is the case. you haven't been in a situation yet where you're traveling with the team an you're playing. what you're anticipating? are you ready for anything? >> nba locker room, it's like a family. just like with all families, we're there to support each other and focus on winning basketball games. >> when the first joke is made and jason laughs at it, the ice is broken and you move forward. >> so you will embrace that and look forward to it? >> i love to joke around and crack jokes. >> you could do a lot of great stuff. >> oh, yeah. i've got material waiting. >> we're going to start

none of this would have started, though, i have to say-- jason kind of got snoopy. and started going through my things, my phone, stuff like that. all on these premonitions that initially weren't there at all. and after a while, i guess i kind of started getting annoyed with the fact that he was going through and, you know, questioning... - that he didn't trust you. so he was going through and looking through your things so you decided to put things in there that would make him-- - well, i would-- i started doing things. if i was gonna get the punishment for it, why not, actually? - doesn't sound like a healthy relationship to me. so you're both angry with each other? - this was very early on. - this was early on. but now-- but you're here today because you, clearly, you're angry with one another. you know, you want forgiveness. you want to sort of move past this. - well, we've worked and we've moved past to a point, but anytime something comes up or we fight or something, this particular instance comes up. and one of the things that we've talked about and agreed on

and i use those same terms, but i used them before jason collin, but it is. ntion to i'm black. i think it was just dealing with the fact that we have dealt with so much, and now this is something else. now this is something else the black community is one of the last to embrace while every other community has already begun to embrace it. we're kind of late at the table. and, you know, as john said earlier, well, i'll have to go back and say that i do find more of a age differences with accepting it because older african-americans are really, really not as accepting. >> i do think there's a nuanced view about that. i think that many african-americans look at the civil rights struggle. in his own column in "sports illustrated" he talks about his grandmother being afraid that he's going to have people attack him because of that, because she has seen that. and also i think to give the black community credit, you can't say the black community, but many people felt that obama's support of same-sex marriage would hurt him in the vote. and you saw a lot of folks said

on monday i read the "sports illustrated" article by jason collins. i read it too fast and said he was previously engaged to a woman and wrote and commented that he was wrong to keep that from readers when, in fact, i was the one that was wrong. my logic between what happened between jason collins and his former fiancee and was and wasn't disclosed i was wrong to even raise that and showed a lack of sensitivity to the issue and didn't give him a chance to respond to my account before i read it and my first correction was not as complete and full as it should have been. video where i discussed the issue i wrongly jokingly referred to something that shouldn't have been joked about. for all those reasons i apologize to readers, to viewers and most importantly to jason collins and to his ex-fiancee. i hope at this very candid response may earn back your trust over time to something that i am committed to doing. within that regard, cnn invited two media critics to turn the table as and ask me the critical questions. they are dylan byers and david folkenflik

jason, are you there? >> yes, i am. >> jason -- don lemon for cnn. >> we can hear each other a little bit. okay. >> again, as we talk to jason, this is unfolding, you're watching it happen just as we are, and we understand in weather situations there can be issues with, technical issues in hearing people, getting pictures up. back to jason now. jason, a storm chaser, what are you seeing and hearing there? >> i have now -- i'm south of the circulation. i can no longer see it. it's still on the ground. i'm trying to reposition, but there was just roughly a half mile wide and that touched down. it stayed on the ground for as long as i could see it, which was around 10 to 15 minutes, and it was very near the community of carney right now. i'm back south of it trying to get back into position, but when the first tornado touched down it touched down near edmond and there was home damage occurs right underneath it and just a lot of debris up there. >> and now as you're repositioning, how far away do you think you are from

in my tweet i supported jason and then the haters started the hate tweets. i had to go back at them and say, you know, whoever is doing this to the individual, you're ignorant and you need to wake up. >> it was interesting because in some of your tweets, i talked to julian bond about this probably about a month or so ago, about -- he sees the sort of equality for gay and lesbian americans as part and parcel, a continuation of the civil rights struggle. >> what people forget is that women's liberation, everything even that's happening now with gay rights is started with the civil rights movement. i always find it very peculiar. people who want rights and forget about who started it, you know, so human rights is human rights. so you can't be for gay rights and still be, you know, racist against anybody. as julian bond said, as you just stated, it started with the civil rights movement and the woman's rights movement came after that, now we're going with the gay movement. >> but there are people, and i've talked to a number of african-americans, who do not belie

when i just realized today, jason came out and get is a big story -- and it is a big story. it was a big story but it was the embarrassing level. i certainly did not get an invitation to speak on "good morning america." it was still a taboo subject. it made headlines, but in a very bad way. >> president obama congratulated jason collins. president reagan was president at the time you came out. what was his response? >> there was not one and i did not expect one. it is great obama is supporting jason, but in the 1980's, the climate was such there were thousands and thousands of gay man dying from aids but president reagan did not mention that. a phone call to me would have been unthinkable. i just wish he had been more supportive. >> talk about the decision you made to go public in the early 1980's. what went into? for many people listening right now and watching this broadcast , maybe a lot of professional athletes as well, talk about your feelings in those months leading up to this and how exactly you came out? >> it was done exactly the decision to do it. i always thought

and i think that if you read what jason collins wrote about the tremendous weight, and the ability to be yourself, and be open, that is a significant thing that i think gay people are looking for when they come out. and i think glen never had that, what we would call peace. >> do you think the treatment and his life and how tragically it ended, do you think that has in some way motivated sports to get a do-over, now with jason collins? he's certainly not the last. >> it makes the door a little more open. maybe puts some oil in the hinges for the next guy. >> teams are doing things proactively as well, the you can play project. >> it started with the nhl, with brian burke and his son patrick, and their -- brian burke from the maple leafs. his son brendon was an openly gay hockey player. and brian, after his son brendon passed away from a car accident, started this you can play thing. and the nhl really embraced it. and all the top players in the nhl, the stars came out with this video, which said basically, if you can play, you can play with me. you can be my teammate. now you see more

i got busy last weekend thanks to jason. thanks a lot. rofile but we do need to be visible. because it is still an issue. as i said before, 29 states in this country can fire us for being gay or even if they think that we're gay. it is an issue, people say oh, i don't care, who cares about his sexuality as long as you play good basketball. it is an issue for people who are gay. we have equal protection under the law. we don't have to talk about it. i'd rather talk about the knicks, i'd rather talk about hockey or the weather or politics. that's what it is. as soon as we get those equal rights, when it's a nonissue, fabulous. >> you've taken us where we're going to come back after the break. thank you so much to martina navratilova in miami. thank you for being a part of nerdland. >> thank you. i'm a proud nerd. >> there's much, much more on this when we come back. we're going to bring into the conversation a former nfl player who also came out. ♪ [ agent smith ] i've found software that intrigues me. it appears it's an agent of good. ♪ [ a

i was saying. it felt good to say it. >> i'm wanting to say, yay, but how dare you, jason, do this? now you're going to get another charge and in trouble. i was in a panic. >> i didn't want to scuffle with him or grab him. i wanted to break his jaw. i wanted to punish him. >> i think that jason probably needed that. >> the world was, like, lifted off my shoulders, you know? i was in denial for so many years about dealing -- i didn't have a problem or nothing. when this encounter happened, it was like all these emotions came back. it was just like it was really overwhelming. my lawyer intervened and told the detective there's no way you're going to prosecute my client because if we go in front of a jury, what jury is going to convict my client of any kind of aggression toward his attacker? so it went away. they didn't pursue it. >> flores says things could have been much worse. >> if the deputy wasn't there, he was done. i would have beat him and choked him and tried to break his neck. i would have killed him. i would have. i would have killed him without a thought in my mind. i would

and i think that what jason collins did is give them maybe the same courage for them to do the same thingi would say that come the next few months, jason collins will not be the only one who will step forward and say you know, how he's living. >> the tide of history is moving forward. spike lee, great to have you on. >> always, my man, anderson cooper. >> all right. spike, you take care. >> bye-bye. >> spike lee spoke briefly about the cross-currents running through the african-american community when it comes to gay and lesbian rights. let's talk more about this. joining me now is espn senior writer and cnn contributor, l.z. granderson and founder of your black world.com. professor, you just heard from spike talking about this before. do you agree with what he said? he says there's a lot of home oh phobia in the black community. do you buy that? >> well, i think there's homophobia everywhere. i think that to talk about the conservative black church tradition in a way that defines it as being somehow pathological because the traditions are different from mainstream america is a little bit

so that retention builds it up. >> all right, jason, i ask you is warren buffet right? i think so, too. i hope it's in his lifetime, within his lifetime, i think he's right. i think it has a lot to do with the fact that right now you are not just fighting the feds, you are fighting everybody. you are fighting every bank in the world, bank of japan, bank of england, swiss national bank and the european central bank. as we were talking about before, it's hard to know what the right multiple is on your stocks if you are capitalizing on earned interest rates. it's not 14 or 15 times earnings. it could be 20 times earnings or higher him i think there is a lot more to go. my goodness, if are you able get good policies on the fiscal side, or on the regulatory side, the -- although liquid failure gas exports. >> that is a good deal, you get immigration, boy, you could be talking about the real thing. >> federal reserves senior loan survey out today, very, very bullish. more loans are being made across the board with better credits. what do you think of that? because banks and fi

jason. >> i want it ask about kids growing up in circumstances that you grew up in today.the ghetto in particular. what's missing? are there not enough adults with that sort of mind set? is it a leadership break down? what's the problem. >> combination of the things you happened. there's a great family break down. for instance, when you look at the african-american community, 70% of the babies are born out of wedlock. you are in the supposed to talk about that because all family situations are supposed to be equal these days, right? but they are not equal. that father is very much-needed. producing the right kinds ever role models for the children and giving them a value system because if you don't provide them with a value system at home, they are going to find it somewhere else. and it may not be a good value system. so you combine that with the fact that when they go to school, in many cases they are surrounded by a bunch of politically-correct people who begin to indoctrinate them in something other than the can-do attitude and we've got a problem. >> dr. siegel? >> dr

the most controversial criticism of jason collins however comes of course from espn analyst chris broussard who said... now, ithink chris broussard's generally a good guy most the time and to be fair, he was asked for his personal opinion on air on a network that knew how he felt. he supports jason collins coming out. this is traditionally the fallback of many biblical literalists who don't know what the hell they're talking about. a lot of folks are demanding espn fire him. this backlash has spawned a greater backlash of homophobes asking what's the problem with chris broussard expressing his opinions? here's the problem. personally, i support chris broussard's right to say whatever he wants. if his homophobic lifestyleoff involves using the bible to judge people, i believe he's a walking rebellion. i would like to tell him the good news. being a christian means you get to drop the homophobia because christ never said a thing about being gay. nobody follows leviticus and st. paul's letters are seriously mistranslated. take it out of context like the second amendment because i can't say that because chris bro

i really care a lot about jason. he's a great individual. had incredible moments together and you know, i want him to be happy and i want him to have a wonderful future. in looking back at eight years, they were great and i think for a woman, we tend to write scripts, in case you men don't know that, but we did. we planned a wedding, we planned our lives together, knew where i was going to have children and what school they were going to go to and dreams for their futures, and it's hard, you know, for anybody to rewrite their script in their life. that's something that takes a lot of strength to get through and you know, it is possible and so i would like to speak out to people that are dealing with those challenges of having to rewrite their life script. and then you know on the side of society, really taking a hard look at why is it so difficult for someone to be comfortable in their own skin and to be accepted or to feel accepted. maybe that's part of what contributed to that and i think that that's a progression in modern society. we hav

i would like to welcome you to the team. we are very excited. jason and i met with her. it's very nice to fill that slot. we are getting a lot of focus in terms of time and staff to be able to lead and deal with all these major issues we have going on with cca. just today i would like for to you authorize staff to present a protest letter to the chair to the same puc proceeding and just setting forth, we'll piggy back on what the puc has said and use some stronger language where appropriate to make our concerns known about the pg and e request. secondly just a couple updates. or m o u. memorandum of understanding was approved by the sf puc. so that was taken care of and the peer review, the update is smud what i talked about before is willing to do for free a report on the deliverables and how they approach that kind of program similarities and providing a little bit of guidance there and i have been in contact with just recently with the advocates to make sure that we coordinate in terms of the work that's being done on the peer review. we talked last month with the con

i would tell you the truth. you guys look nice. it's because jason is single. ct. clooney is hot because he's single and brad pitt is married and that's taken him down because as women we don't like to hit on another woman's man, even anonymously. >> even if you have less than ten years to live? wouldn't you just go for it? you know you don't have much longer? >> i am a woman and i -- i'm a girly-girl and i know what women think. listen to me. follow me, not down the life line, but down the women line and you'll get it. >> you can go to today.com and cast your vote if you're interested in such things but first al -- >> but we're asking. >> you have to have the jason kennedy look. >> he's a gorgeous guy. oh, is that the smolder? >> let's check your forecast. show you what we have going on. for today we've got a risk of strong storms. texas into oklahoma. beautiful weather in the pacific northwest. it's going to be wet along the gulf coast. another gorgeous day here in the northeast and mid-atlantic states. as we move into tomorrow, more rain and snow. the upper g

i value that between jason and i and i value that between himself and his family and the onest that are closest to him. i think that is where that confident level comes from. >> did he apologize to you? >> um, i think he is in the process of taking ownership of the here and now which is actually coming out. and that can be very, i assume, overwhelming. i did invest eight years in our relationship with a shared dream and vision with him and i value that. i had to rewrite the script and i still am rewriting it. it has been very challenging. so you know, that's a natural progression for him to look at things from all different angles. as he becomes more comfortable with himself i think that time will allow for some perspective on that, as well. >> collins said he didn't set out to be the first openly gay active athlete. he talked about his experience with nba commentators on our sister network, tnt. >> what was it like to wake up this morning for the first time in your life and not have anything to hide? >> it was amazing. it was truly overwhelming experience, humbling, the amount of suppo

jason collins' case, he had an uncle who is gay who is a is port for him. not all gay people have that. it really is very, very difficult and i think people just need to be in the right emotional place to be able to do this. >> lot of people looking at jason collins as a role model and easy to understand why. >> i agree. i think he is a role model. give him credit. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. >>> the time now 11:41 on "news4 midday." a new tool for parents. how to check if your children are developing normally. plus, the four-legged critter that was proving to be a tough out at one baseball game.

community deserves full equality. >> that was president obama today on jason collins who made history when he wrote this in "sports illustrated." im a 34-year-old nba center, i'm black and i'm gay. jason collins is the first openly gay athlete on a major professional sports team in this country's 142 years of professional team sports. today he discussed his phone call with the president. >> he was incredibly supportive and he was proud of me and said that this not only affected my life but others going forward. >> last season jason collins wore jersey number 98. collins writes in "sports illustrated" the number has great significance to the gay community, one of the most notorious gay hate crimes occurred in 1998, matthew shepard. he was kidnapped, tortured, lashed to a prairie fence. he died five days after he was finally found. >> each time i put on jersey 98 this past season i was already sort of having that moment with myself, with my family, with my friends who knew the significance of why i picked that number. >> jersey 98 for matthew shepard. >> jersey 98 for matthew shepard. that's why i wore jersey 98. >> joining me, mat
