let's start with, tim, what do you think of jerry brown's candidacy?was excited to see jerry go ahead and make the announcement today, larry. obviously, somebody with a long political career, well known to californians, a reformer, somebody who's got high name recognition and high approvals. currently is attorney general fighting the -- doing the lord's work, fighting against insurance companies and some of these outrageous premium increases in california. i think he'll be a great gubernatorial candidate. >> larry: michael, let's get into some things real current. a short time ago, senator bunning announced he's ending his holdup of that stopgap legislation to extend jobless benefits, while it lasted, it was quite a drama. was there a fallout on your party? >> i don't think so, larry. i think that senator bunning laid out a very principled argument, and it was a principled argument consistent with what the democrats and the president have been saying they wanted to do from the very beginning. let's not spend more than we take in. this whole argument ar

the man, jerry brown, said that making dope available will turn people into, well, dopes. and cause an increase in things like tardiness and absenteeism in the workplace and probably lead jazz explorations like this. ♪ >> i wanted the chorus. >> they might actually have a point. tucker, they claim legalizing could raise 1.5 billion dozen and save money on law enforcement. why not? >> consenting adults ought to be able to get dumb, and alcohol is worse for you. as a native californian, pretty lame if your trying to keep your state afloat with stoners. >> people like to get high, we can make money off it. it's awful. >> you're creating a population of dorito eating slackers. >> you're targeting the dumbest people in the state. >> you just insulted our entire crew. >> i have short-term memory. thank god, everybody is so high, they warrant listening, and you're completely soaping -- zoning. in england, you can walk around with pot. >> i'm confused. california is so laid back. but in new york, you won't get taught drunk driving. >> that's true. i've never driven while on pot. i

. >> california's attorney general, jerry brown. he's really been very proactive in talking about all these doctors and prescription shopping and all that. that's been a big issue for jerry brown as attorney general. and that's part of the reason i think he's doing that. part is politically motivating. we're talking about it a lot of people are talking about it. for dr. conrad murray, he's not really practicing in california. that's not where his day-to-day practice is. >> he's in texas, right? >> in texas and nevada as well. so it's not going to impact him that way. but where it impacts him is in the court of public opinion. and that is the real concern for dr. conrad murray here. >> that was my question. in terms of jurors, once they sit down in this courtroom, what is the bearing, i guess? what's the connection? >> it's the headline today. they are talking about it, yanking his license. if his licen gets yanked away it's because he did something wrong. so you go from point "a" to point "b." if i judge has already said he's done s

governor candidate jerry brown's against it.this kind of thinking. >> how do you address the violence in mexico, which again, those who would argue for legalization as an unwelcome but preferable alternative to the current environment. is the only way they see to reduce the violence. you talk about the narco state, 60% of their trafficking is marijuana. if it was regulated and taxed, wouldn't that implicitly reduce the level of violence and increase the level of stability? and under this theory, you could then tax marijuana and use the money to fund anti-marijuana ads? >> dylan, there isn't one shred of evidence that if you, for example, cigarettes, which kills 440,000 people a year in america, that taxing cigarettes, even begins to yield a payoff for the damage it does. and again, the problem in mexico is this brave president calderon, trying to create federal law enforcement that's adequate, trained, equipped to enforce the rule of law. mexican families don't want heroin addiction, cocaine addiction, methamphetamine, as part o

meanwhile, california attorney general jerry brown talked with hln's jane velez-mitchell about haim's possible involvement in a prescription drug ring. >> we know that massive amounts of drugs, legal drugs, but obtained in what looks to me like a questionable manner because so many doctors. how many people go to 10 or 15 or 20 doctors and then run around to 10, 12 and more pharmacies to go fulfill them. and sometimes two different doctors on the same day. this is serious stuff. now do we know he put them in his mouth? no. we don't have anyone who saw him. but we know that these prescriptions were fulfilled in his name and they went somewhere. >> an autopsy revealed haim had an enlarged heart and water in his lungs. but the coroner won't have an official cause of death until next month. haim's manager says it was not an overdose and says the actor had been trying to kick prescription drugs after one point taking 80 pills a day. kirk cameron was also a child star in the '80s. he competed for roles with corey haim. he says he can see how becoming a celebrity at such a young age may have

authorities here are taking prescription drug abuse very seriously and our attorney general jerry brownn this case has brought charges against one person, in the an made nicole case, against two and her former boyfriend. i think the message is getting out there and very clearly that whether you are involved in prescription drug fraud as an identity left individual, as a doctor who is negligencely prescribing or as an individual who is doctor shopping, the authorities will come after you. >> so i wonder how many other people are nerves because the attorney general hinted that this is part of a huge pre-description drug ring. maybe more arrests to follow. >> yeah, i think what's happened was with this first arrest, they're hoping to bring someone into talk to law enforcement. now they have a fire lit under this person because an arrest has been made. probably they're trying to get more information from this person so they can make further arrests. but you're right, the drug ring has been called massive and i think this is just the first arrest. >> let me move to you, dr. sack. and talk ab
