jim was right there with us. directing us.hen somehow the computers managed to transform all of it into this other worldly experience for the audience. it was really fun actually. >> larry: sigourney, you're used to science fiction. "aliens" previously. used to james cameron. is acting acting or is science fiction different? >> i guess i don't really think of these stories. i've done five now. the four "alien" movies and this one. and to me, they're great stories. a lot about character and adventure and courage and survival. being smart and going for it. to me i don't really think of them as science fiction. they do take place in the future. they do take place in another world. i guess i grew up reading stories like this, you know. king soloman's mines and things like that. i guess i just think of them as great classical stories and they happen to take place in the future. so i think they're cool to do as well as to watch. >> larry: i tell you who would have loved this. one of the most creative people i have ever known or hear

jim knows what he wants. he very much has a clear visual when we get into it and this seemed to be based on whatever we did with visual however we got there technically was about telling the story and getting the best possible performance. >> larry: do you like working for him? >> absolutely. he forces us to be transparent in the production process. that's the real challenge. you work so hard to be invisible. it works out really well. >> larry: james cameron created unforgettable rules for women. sigourney weaver tells us what it's like to be one of them next. years from now, how will we look back on today? as the great recession? or as the recession that made us great? allstate has seen twelve recoveries. but this one's different. because we're different. we realized our things are not as important... as the future we're building with the ones we love. protect yours. put it... in good hands. ♪ >> get away from her, you bitch! >> i'll be back. >> get out. >> open your eyes. >> larry: those were clips from som

>> i want to see jim gray in there get to tiger.te rose at the all-star game. >> larry: what do you make of that, donny? >> those golf writers, there's an irony here. they are -- get paid more and, jim obviously you cover this beat. golf has never been bigger because of tiger. be careful of biting the hand that feeds you. i find that a little strange they're boycotting. golf needs tiger woods. >> larry: don't you think, pat, they're being treated like props tomorrow and they don't want to be a prop? >> if you consider yourself a journalist, why would you even go if you were told not to show up, not to ask questions? that's ridiculous. >> larry: would you go? >> pat's exactly right, larry. pat's exactly right, larry. if you can't ask a question -- >> larry: would you go? >> no, i wouldn't go. i'd like to be able to go and ask tiger woods questions. i would be respectful in asking him those questions. there's a responsibility and obligation. he may not owe the world answers to his sex life. i don't think the type of journalist that wo

i caddie for jim gray. there are other questions here. donny, jim and larry. was a police report, hospital visit 70 days ago, allegations about this canadian doctor involved with hormone growth. was he involved in that or not? yes or no? i don't think i agree with donnie. i don't think you have to go to this woman, the perkins' waitress and that sort of thing. that's his own business. by the way thanks is nobody's business. i do think he has to subject himself to some sort of question and answer at some point otherwise people -- it's already a disaster. if you listen to sports talk radio today, he's just getting -- ripped to shreds. >> larry: how can they -- hold it, david. hold it, david. >> i'm sorry. >> larry: jim, yesterday the pga tour commissioner said that tiger woods is still in rehab. commissioner said, i don't know what his plans are in terms of what he's going to say. i don't know what he's going to go after he finishes his rehab. that's the first acknowledgement he's in rehab, isn't it? >> it's the first that's an acknowledgement from somebody who

you talked about jim mcdougal. mr. clarke got to know him during the last years or months of jim mcdougal's life. that story is very unsettling and brand new, i think. nobody has told the story. >> guest: yeah, i got access to materials cdougal's psychiatc records and his history in the prison with the permission of his estate. dr. clarke, a wonderful person, really cared about him, spent a lot of time with him in prison. there is no question that he came to believe that there was some grand conspiracy by the clintons and others to get him in this prison. but his death was just tragic. there were a lot of unexplained circumstances. i don't believe the clinton said anything to do with this. incidentally this was during march of 1998. you know because you were involved with the clinton white house. they were focused completely on the monica room wednesday matter. the people play games with this guy? he ended up in solitary confinement. it is a tragic story. the story should not be allowed to repeat itself. jim mcdougal w

jim, did you think maybe they wouldn't take it?well, we thought there could be that chance, but when we worked with them -- cbs has been good but they've been tough. we didn't get all the language we wanted. and i think i can understand the previous segment why they didn't pass that ad. we simply wanted to say -- i'll give you an example. we wanted to say two things that both pam and tim's life were at risk. they said no, we don't want you to say that. so we're down to very simple, 30-second comment. and, again, i understand terry's concern. what we want to do is lift up the other side of the equation. there is an awful lot of energy that's given to the abortion side of this debate. very rarely do we say, hey, let's celebrate a woman who has chosen life for her child. that's what we're trying to do here. >> larry: terry, you feel abortion -- pro-choice doesn't need an ad, since it is the law? >> well, the truth is, if i had $2.5 million, i wouldn't give it to cbs. i would be using it to advocate equality for women. it's just not th

>> caller: jim, buia from philadelphia. i'm a student at drex the university. >> yes, i'll give you a philadelphia college's rock buia right back at you. what's on your mind there partner? >> caller: my question to you is about your poin on toronto dominion bank. ticker symbol td. early october td just completed their acquisition of commerce bank. what happens was during that i recall completion of the merger they had a systems integration and the computer systems are all messed up. customers couldn't access their accounts and all that. that hurt their reputation as being called america's most convenient bank. where do you stand? is it a buy, a sell? how about canadian banks in general? >> i was going to adeno value scotiabank, i was going to add bank of montreal and toronto dominion. all three are better than almost nel american bank and show great discipline during this period of just a tremendous morass worldwide and the one that you mentioned toronto dominion i think you're being able to take advantage of that price and

john has more on what the governor had to say about that. >> jim, that's right. here's out here in maryland. we're in the parking lot of this home depot. people are getting shovels to salt. interestingly enough, salt is something the county says they are running dangerously low on. look at the video we shot earlier today. this is a look at the command center over in forestville. we saw truck going in and out of this command center all day. they were just loading up on salt, getting as much as they could in each truck. we talked to governor o'malley. he said he is seeing counties running low on salt. he said until they have another shipment come from the port of baltimore, they have to -- counties just have to use salt more sparingly. despite that, the county executive johnson here in prince georges county says he is doing very well for his crew. he said his crew is doing very well right now. he's proud of the work they is done, but because he said that we won't see bear roads for quite some time after this latest tomorrow, he's asking for everyone's patience. >>

in two years, jim's movie is not going to cost $300 million to make.: the studio wishes $300 million. >> it will be half that price because the technology is going to make it come down in price. tavis:hen i say $300 million, it doesn't really matter. it has made so much money. when you see the film. you laugh or you cry or you scream or in some way emote. thank you, james horner, for pulling that emotion out of you. nice to have you on the program. >> thank you. tavis: that's our show for tonight. catch me on weekends on our pod cast. until then, good night from l.a. thanks for watching and as always, keep the faith. >> for more information on today's show, visit tavis smiley on pbs.org. tavis: hi, i'm tavis smiley. join me next time for a conversation with the legendary director garry marshall on his latest project "valentine's day". that's next time. we'll see you then. >> there are so many things wal-mart is looking forward to doing, like helping people live better. but mostly we're looking forward to helping build stronger communities and relations

jim axelrod, jim, thanks very much. as the snow continues to pile up, so do the costs. as michelle miller tells us, this relentless winder is leaving governments and workers buried in debt. >> reporter: new york city has already plowed through its $41 million snow budget and winter's not over. >> we have put our sanitation workers on split shifts. 2,200 workers per shift. >> reporter: pennsylvania spent 93% of its budget even before this snowfall, forcing some tough decisions. >> we're going to fill the potholes, however. what you'll see is that work will get done in april and may and june. but the bigger repaving work will probably have to be pushed off to next year. >> reporter: virginia is already a whopping $70 million over budget. and georgia, which has spent $5 million, doesn't even set aside money for snow removal. snow is also affecting the jobless rates. snowed-in workers became laidoff workers and that's being blamed for a jump in new unemployment claims. some experts say before winter is over 100,000 jobs may be lost. >> they couldn't get to work, they couldn

let me bring in jim paulson. jim, on the other hand, stocks are stabilizing here. earnings continue to be good. 80% of reporting companies. i'm pushing for a moderate v-shaped recovery. i'll put charts up in a few minutes. but a v-shaped recovery, solid earnings. does that mean new highs on the stock market or not? >> well, you know, i think, larry, i would position what we are doing like this. for much of the last year there's been a tremendous volatility and uncertainty created in washington on an ongoing basis and the same thing bailing us out throughout this period of time has been bailing us out in the last week. that is economic momentum, earnings momentum keeps coming out much better than anticipated and despite all the volatility and uncertainty created by government, it's wagging the overall dog. i think it's hard no matter how much your fears are aggravated by what obama's doing in washington, what it may mean down the road, it's hard to stay out of the stock market when you have 5.7% gdp growth, an ism number that's good. when you have the employment com

jim lacamp, one more thing. you did not mention a strong tisht report nor did you mention that profits are doing extremely we . profits are on a role plr, mr. lacamp. >> we've tickled businesses. they've started to move again, but we haven't really sheen -- shown any acceleration, particularly when it's in that new customer coming through the door. the revenues are only up about 7%, and if you strip out the banks, revenues aren't up very much at all, and so it's a very tepid weak recovery, and if that's the case, then the stock market's probably overvalued here because it doesn't leave any room for multiple expansion. >> all right. zach karabell, look. they are lovely places. i don't want to be accused of downdwr downgrading it. spain, portugal, and greece. they're lovely places. how important are they to the world story, how important are they to the economic coverry, in short, how important are they? who'd have thunk it? spain, portugal, and greece, knocking us down. >> by the way, i love jim's hue hefner rema

. >> jim, we have had indeed the snow so far has been a very, very wet snow. what's going on in and around us. and that's going to be continuing. the wet snow wil eventually change to a very dry snow with some more blowing and drifting, all of us are under this winter storm warning now. but what's really the concern is the increasing winds. as a matter of fact, we'll be seeing the winds up to 30 to 40 miles per hour. that's the reason that anne arundel county and st. mary's county are now from 10:00 tonight until 10:00 tomorrow evening under a blizzard warning because of northeasterly winds. there you can see the extent of the warnings that now go into southeastern virginia. it is raining now down in the tidewater area. while i think we will be seeing some rain perhaps and some sleet mix in briefly, let me take off the winter mosaic for a brief time, you can see that we're getting now some light to moderate snows really beginning to comen and this is how things look. you can see that area not only around us but all over now. really spreading in as we go throug

jim o'neal, executive director of eod memorial foundation remains with us.id you come to put this together, kathryn? >> i was very lucky to be -- to know mark boal on a journalistic embed in baghdad in the winter of 2004 and when he came back he brought back such moving stories of both the chaos and tragedy of war. and the human cost that he observed, and then he wrote this magnificent screenplay. very courageous piece. we were both determined to make it. >> larry: some people might see it and say they're surprised a woman directed this, right? you've heard that i'm sure. >> i've heard that, yes. >> larry: do you resent that when you hear it? >> i don't resent it. i think of myself as a filmmaker, and i suppose i long for the day when there's no mod fire in front of it. >> larry: you're a brilliant filmmaker. period. jeremy, how did you get the part? >> i talked to her over the phone. i was in london. i didn't know it at the time. she had seen a movie i did prior. it was about jeffrey dahmer. i didn't know this, but we ended up talking. i kept telling her wh

i want to get jim. jim gray knows him the longest.o have bragman and pinski analyze salley and smith. jim, you knew him a long time. who's right here? >> well, you know, i don't think that either of them are right. i think it's somewhere in between. i mean, let's just say this. from the news aspect today, i was happy to hear tiger woods say that he has not used performance-enhancing drugs. i was happy to hear tiger woods say today that there has never been any domestic violence in his marriage. i thought those two proclamations were something that everybody wanted to have answered and he gave those answers. i was also hoping while hearing this that this wasn't a john edwards moment, that this wasn't perhaps a moment of bill clinton. i hope that this is truthful. i hope we don't come to find out something else along the line. i was very happy to hear those two things today, and i think that's the right step in the right direction, and he's going to have to face these questions at some point because the reporters are not going to go awa

i'm jim lehrer. new public opinion polls show another drop of confidence in those in charge of the government. >> brown: and i'm jeffrey brown. on the newshour tonight, we look at the latest numbers, and how they're impacting the political and policy landscape; >> lehrer: then, mark shields and david brooks offer their weekly analysis; >> brown: paul solman's reporting on goldman sachs-- tonight, how the firm used taxpayer money to make more money. >> goldman sachs recently was borrowing between 100 to 150 basis points-- that's between one percentage point and 1.5 percentage points above what the government was borrowing-- in the aftermath of the greatest financial crisis since world war ii. that's incredible. it makes no sense. >> lehrer: then comes a preview of the winter olympics with reporter christine brennan in vancouver, where a training run proved deadly for one athlete today. >> lehrer: and the grit and determination of u .s. olympic snowboarder chris klug, taking to the slopes after receivi

let's start there, jim. were just talking about rielle hunter says the tape made 2006, but yet, i believe she gave birth in february of 2008. so that timeline doesn't mesh. i mean, are we talking about the same tape? could there be other tapes? >> well, there have been allegations that there's more than one tape. you're right, mike. the timeline doesn't mesh. i heard in your intro you were wondering could this be leaked. my feeling about this is if there's a tape, you can always make a copy. it's very easy to do that. and as long as the tape is made, there's always a possibility that it can be leaked. that's something -- i don't care if andrew young hands over the tape. there may be another copy floating out there somewhere. because we don't know if this was the only copy to begin with. >> right. okay. andrew young says he was advised to make a copy. why is that? why would someone advise him to make a copy? >> i would suspect basically for insurance. he was coming out with a book. and if there were any legal

the lie, the greater the thrill for jim mcdougal. so he could lie at any moment. this was a very complicated thing that the clintons into that being tangled up with. >> host: it was in the. briefly tells the nature of that partnership in the early days. >> guest: the whitewater project as you know came to symbolize this but it was a real estate investment. i went fishing with joe, one of clinton's childhood friends on the white river to see it, had the fish fried in peanut oil. that was one of the perks of this project. but it was a harebrained plan, actually at the time. it turned out it was on the wrong side of the river. it was not a good location. it lost money, but it really was a whitewater. it was the madison guaranty savings and loan. it was part of the snl failures all over the country. and jim mcdougal was just playing games and cooking the books in all sorts of directions. i do not believe the clintons had anything to do with that, but given tangled in it. it came to be. >> host: he spoke about the psychologists from the p

i think we believe, as jim has said, that gmac at this point is stable. the long term, is general motors going to be considering a variety of alternatives, again, i would direct that question to them. >> i mean, i'd have to -- if mr. bloom is unwilling or unable to -- unable to share with you what gm's strategic plans are with regard, i certainly have no insight to it. >> recognizing that we have the executives from gmac on the next panel, are there any recommendations that you would make to us now to make sure we explore or maybe areas of frustration that you have seen in your role as treasury that we should be sure that we explore in our next panel? >> listen, i have to say i think that we've got a very professional management team, a very good posterior. -- board. they've been very cooperative with us in answering our questions and information requests. and i think they'll be very forthcoming with you as well. >> that raises another point. in the aig situation which you know extremely well, the treasury utilized a trust to hold treasury shares. is that

>> we know a lot more about this now, jim. we knew that he had been questioned on christmas day right after he was taken off of the plane. after he came out of surgery, the fbi tried to talk to him again and he said i'm not answering any more questions. then he got a miranda warning and a lawyer. now starting last thursday, he's begun talking again. cooperating extremely extensively, saying everything the fbi wants to know and the break-through thing is that the fbi went to nigeria, gut members of his family, brought them back to washington and then took them to meet him in detroit and after talking to his family, he started talking again. now, back to the political point you made earlier about where to charge him. the administration insists and eric holder says today in his letter to senators that a key factor for the family was the fact that he was incivilian court, n military court. and they say that was one of the reasons the family agreed to cooperate, which got him talking again. the mere fact that you give someone a war
