people are paranoid. and there is a history of gang violence in chicago that dates back maybe 40 years. a lot of the young men and women in chicago are fighting for reasons they don't know nothing about. then also i want to make sure i make this clear. 60% to 80% of the violence in chicago is interpersonal violence. people get into the petty conflicts and end up shooting and killing each other their mind goes from one to ten to the kill zone right away. >> t.o., about out of time. just a minute. let me pose this question and see if you can do it in 15 seconds. please tell me you are hopeful. i need to hear you two are hopeful? >> oh, yeah. >> we are hopeful. we have an opportunity now for the mayor and -- and all of the president, they can come back and -- canned put the city back on track. as well as with the communities and families. we come together and bring the hope back into chicago. >> all right, we're out of time. thank you both. appreciate it.

, general, is the strategy or the intent of people like cheney who are constantly trying to get people's teeth rattling? constantly trying to get people nervous -- of course, we have to be secure, our country. to have us always nervous, always worried about some terrorist getting out of san quentin or something. what is their strategy, politically? >> well, i think that is the strategy, to show that we have reason to be fearful because of the fact that as they worked the last eight years they continued to put this country and those who believe in this country, that we have a lot to fear. in fact, we have great faith in the strength of our country and don't think that we need to be fearful, but, in fact, to capitalize on our strength. whether it's that of our courts, our armed forces or whatever, and maintain our highest ideals and we do that by doing the things that we advocate and certainly not by putting the country in a state of apprehension, fear about what may happen. in this case, releasing -- not releasing, but putting prisoners, properly tried, into our prisons inside the united

do i cry with people and laugh with people? love that?r do i love seeing small patterns in things and building them into bigger patterns? what are the specific moments of my life that invigorate me. >> i was interested in these myths that you say that we have. one of them is that at work women are relegated to lower level roles and they make less money. that is not a myth, that's a fact. >> actually, 37% of women are in management positions, 31% of men. now, at the senior most levels, still got about 17% of women versus the remainder being men. there is still some glass ceiling that remains to be cracked. and in terms of money, yes, it's actually about 80%, women earn 80% on the dollar. but most of the difference -- >> i think it's 77 cents, but who's counting. >> it's between 77 and 80. but that difference isn't really due to gender discrimination. when you look at what accounts for that difference, it's because in a 15-year time frame, women spend about twice as much time outside of the workforce because they interrupt their careers. as

and you wonder about people who actually are facing bullets and strife, people in china or people in latin america, political opposition leaders in africa. so i think that what they're doing here is saying we feel that there is such a dearth of willingness to take diplatic action, to speak about climate change, stopping the proliferation of nuclear weapons and president obama speaks their language and they are so appreciative of that. >> bill. >> it's hard for me to be objective about this because i'm so disappointed personally. i was up early friday morning. i thought the phone might ring, you know. pundits for peace. i deserve it pretty much. president obama and i have done about the same amount to bring about world peace, i think. he's given some good speeches. i've written a few columns. of course, what can i say? this is a prize that this committee gave, this nobel peace prize committee. it's not clear to me it speaks for the world. they gave it to kofi annan right after september 11, 2001. there have been scandals and they gave it to them because they wanted to send a signal we

most people really haven't seen it. realize it in full-length to the critics, only a few minutes. no one really knows what it is. some people say from what they see they think he looks healthy and others say he doesn't. we will deal with that later on today in some of the newscasts. michael jackson just passed way a few months ago. some fans want to see as much michael as possible as soon as possible. there are other fans that say back off. this is too soon. you're just trying to make money off michael as soon as possible. a lot of people will make money of it. the bulk goes to his estate, but sony and other people make money off of this. some say this is tasteless and too soon. >> they put out millions, the promoters, and they want to recoup the money. there's a business reason, too. >> some say this is a money grab and in no way memorializes michael in no way. this is clips right now. tell us what you think. what do you think? do you think this movie gives michael jackson's fans some closure? his family says they're n

he could see mistakes people made.ll the time growing up we always talked about decisions create the environment. the decisions you make create the environment you have to live in. those are lessons that i think are pertinent for everyone. he understood early on with the celebrity that he had in high school, with some of the decisions he made, there were some negative things that happened to him. he started to recognize that these decisions count. >> i think, too, stephen, part of it is the problem with a lot of these cats is nobody, at whatever age, ever wants to tell them -- i remember asking sugar ray leonard, didn't anybody tell you when you were going into the ring with hearns it looked like he would annihilate you, he said, no, because i was paying them. >> that is a part of the problem. because if i'm paying you, it may behoove you to shut up if you want to continue to get paid. that's just a fact. we can't ignore that. the other thing is you have to compartmentalize to some degree, what really draws a distincti

some people don't come forward even though they know the people.don't have the money. >> reporter: daryl and cheryl vickers did come forward. when they met them at the morgue they identified their late aunt, nancy graham. like more and more people in detroit they left their loved one behind. >> the money is just not there. >> reporter: the money would usual i will be there but with detroit's economic struggles, wayne county's budget for burying the unclaimed dead ran out in june. people can apply to the state for funds, but it can take weeks, sometimes months to be processed. >> to be pushed to the side and say that there is no financing or no help available, you know, it breaks your heart to know you have a loved one sitting there in cold storage and there is nothing you can do for them. >> reporter: dr. karl schmidt, the chief medical examiner says such destitution has become says although such destitution has become a daily reality, the ramifications speak volumes. >> one of the ways that we look back historically and look at a culture's evoluti

because breast cancer touches so people m people and touches women in a very personal way. but what's really frustrating about breast cancer is how it strikes certain populations in a more deadly way. that's another thing that i realize, that there are higher risk populations that too often are unaware of their risk. like me, as an ashkenazi jewish woman, i was not really aware of my risk of having a greater risk oif carrying the brca-1 or brca-2 gene mue decisions. consequently, when i was diagnosed with breast cancer, i dood a genetic test and learned i was a carrier of the brca-2 gene. but what i learned about african-american women is startling. they have the highest rate of breast cancer, 34 per 100 people in the population. african-american women ages 35 to 44 have a breast cancer death rate more than twice the rate of white women in the same age group and they are 34% more likely to die of cancer than are whites and more than twice as likely to die of cancer as are asians or pacific islanders, american indians or hispanics. we have got to raise awareness in higher ri

so there's a difference in whether we're talking about icing out people doing real journalism or peoplescreaming at the president and stoking in glenn beck's case racial hatred. >> there's nobody on fox that he could talk to? like i always point to chris wallace's show. he's fairly balanced himself. his panel is somewhat balanced. he has juan williams as well as the heinous bill crystal. >> i didn't realize that. is that his first name? >> it's lamar crystal. speak to me. >> even major garrett in the white house press corps, he's a straight-up guy and does straight-up reporting. that's a danger here. if you're equating all of fox news with glenn beck, i mean, it's certainly not the case. as your other guests said, it looks like folks are trying to distance themselves from other people on fox news. but also what i think is smart, maybe about this strategy, is that you are seeing republicans also start to distance themselves. you had lindsey graham come out and say basically -- >> that's the key to the whole story. right there. >> i think that's good for our debate. separate whether it's

think pro life people don't like it. older people don't like it. then you've got 100 million people who have their insurance and doctors that they like and the system that's give themming good health care and you're basically creating something that's going to destroy that and they're going to have to change to a government system within some years. they're not liking this. after you start adding tose theme together, it starts to make sense why people don't like this. and particularly most americans at a fundamental level understand good health care has to start with the patient-doctor relationship. it has to start with the doctor and the patient deciding what is the right health care alternative. and we don't like it when some big insurance company sticks their nose in that relationship, and we like it a whole lot less when it's going to be a government bureaucrat. mr. king: i completely agree. as i'm listening to the gentleman from missouri, the engineer who sees things in black and white, in finite formulas that work out or else they can be chec

i think the only people who were a little bit confused and uncomfortable, were the people in the audience trying to figure out what this was all about. >> yeah, they thought it was a buildup to a big joke. he got up on stage and said, i don't want you to laugh, i'm about to tell you a serious story. he worked with the d.a. to record evidence and eventually busted the guy. he even gave the alleged blackmailer a fake check for $2 million. the same day, the guy cashed the phony check, was arrested, and hours later that's when dave went on his show to reveal all of it. watch how letterman talked about the creepy stuff that the blackmailer threatened to expose. >> the creepy stuff was that i have had sex with women who work for me on this show. now, my response to that is, yes, i have. i have had sex with women who work on this show. and would it be embarrassing if it were made public? perhaps it would. perhaps it would. especially for the women. >> now, all day long people have been wondering about the time line of all of this. late this afternoon, letterman's spokesperson did tell "showbiz t

people are getting off early for good behavior and people can exhibit good behavior in prison and come back out and not have changed their mind-set about not being able to stop between a stimulus and response. they may always have the thoughts. but the ability to pause before you act on the thoughts is a huge undertaking for a sexual predator like this particular man, like the father in this case. >> and perry, as you fight the fight, through wired moms, and all the work you do, law enforcement gets that. the parents understand that. that it is dangerous out there. and we have to teach our kids about internet safety. on all fronts. >> yeah, i think the parents get that there's a risk out there, and the kids do, too. but the parents don't know what to do. they understand there's a risk, but tell me what to do. they don't know where to report it, what to do about it. there's a new computer coming out of canada that teaches kids about the different categories of sexual predator ploys. measures their vulnerabilities and gives the parents a report. kids think it's somebody trying to steal s
