martha: yeah.bviously it is all going to come down to the evidence in this case because if, indeed, it is michael brown as the incident report suggests, there will still be, obviously, a trial, i would imagine, over the evidence of this case as to whether a shooting was justified by this police officer and whether or not he had the opportunity to take him into custody and bring him down to the station and go through the process, correct? >> yes, martha. a trial will follow if, and it's a big if, if that grand jury of citizens of st. louis county makes the decision to bring the charge. that has not happened because it couldn't have happened in this short amount of time. meanwhile, i think everyone is delighted that with the arrival on the scene of the new commanding officer, rom johnson from the missouri highway patrol, that we turned a corner last night, and i applaud him and that decision. martha: yeah. you know, i wonder and i certainly hope that that peace continues. we all do. but with these ne

martha: it's a huge shift. the programs were designed 50 years ago, many of them, to help people who fell through the cracks, to get them over the bridge, to be a gap provider for the time when someone was out of work to boost them along so nobody in this country has to go hungry. but what happened is, when you combine all these programs, many people have figured out, you know what? that's almost $20 minimum wage for me as opposed to $7.25. so i'm better off if i can combine these government programs. >> reporter: it's a trap that keeps people out of the middle class. stops them from moving up the food chain into the middle class. if you are getting the equivalent of $20 an hour through government hand. outs, that's sure better than getting $7.25 minimum wage or $10 or $12 an hour. you have no incentive to get out there, work and how much that food chain. it's a trap and it keeps you down. that's what we have become. >> reporter: remember that story about the guys who had the device that keep the seats reclinin
