like you treat tyler perry after you find out he's tyler perry.so those that are there feel the police are there to protect and serve and not to intimidate and inspire fear. thirdly, i think we need to have a review board that looks at these incidents that repri mands them so they are there to help and not harm. >> that piece of tape is tyler perry and the president of the united states. should the president of the united states address this issue? should he open up a big discussion in the wake of the travesty that unfolded down in florida. are we at that point where we need have that discussion on a massive level in this country? >> i think it would be helpful. look at what happened to trayvon martin. suspicion, fear, a set of stereo types that informed what george zimmerman ended up doing that night. many people don't live on mars. they are born in america. they have the same set of fears as anybody else does. >> could it have gone south fast with tyler perry? >> absolutely. he's a big, black man. he could appear to be intimidating and the need

it's between rick santorum and texas governor rick perry. remember, rick perry dropped out. he decided to back newt gingrich. a spokesperson for rick perry said this is a courtesy meeting. rick santorum is placing a lot of emphasis on texas because of the fact it offers up 152 delegates. maybe he is trying to get that support from rick perry, but it doesn't look like this will happen just yet. >> all right. tory dunnan live for us. >>> the marine core has -- exorps has recommended that a sergeant be disciplined. spergt klein made a comment on his facebook page about the president obama. the president is the commander in chief and service members are banned from taking positions like his. >>> hello, everyone. i'm roosevelt leftwich. coming up at 6, we all know our appliances can take a role beating. so what do you do when they stop working? >>> when easter comes, so does the easter been ni. that means plenty of candy. we have some healthy options children will love, and it's not carrots. now a preview of what's ahead on world knolls at 6:30 -- news at 6:30. >> the courage gra

perry was. >> oh, perry was. any myths? >> those images that show perry standing in his boat as he's moving from one ship to another, probably not. probably sitting. mostly i think the conventional account of perry, perry's performance in the battle is pretty accurate. >> anything -- you mentioned at the beginning about the fort mchenry flag at the smithsonian institution. and any myths surrounding that? that was the original flag made by mary pickersfield by general armstead. >> that's more or less true. he ordered it. there's a famous painting that shows several other movers and shakers in a room where her while she's sewing it. that didn't happen. he signed the order. she made it. he probably had no immediate input. except he just gave her the dimensions. and they agreed upon a price. there are a lot of myths in connection with that flag and the defense of fort mchenry. there is one myth -- it was in the armstead family until 1907. there's about six feet at the end that's missing. the family gave out souvenirs to people

perry then makes an apparent reference to the killing of trayvon martin writing this.a stand your ground law. he also writes that he's been, quote, screaming a the top of his lungs an't the disappearances of two florida men, terrance williams and felipe santos. williams is black, santos is mexican. both men vanished under similar circumstances more than eight years ago after being arrested by the same deputy. a former deputy named steven culkins. their disappearances are unsolved to this day and no one has been charged including that officer. joining us now by phone to talk about the case is don hunter. he was the sheriff in naples, florida, when the two men disappeared. he's now the police chief in marco island. chief hunter, thanks so much for taking time to talk about this. it is just uncanny, the similarities in the disappearances of these two men. they were both picked up by the same officer and both of them were never seen again. and the officer has the same story, i dropped them off at a convenience store. where do these cases stand? >> well, first of all, thank

and perry bacon, editor of the grio.com.want to start with you because let's get what a lot of people are talking about and set this up. the context of why ann romney is now firing back. it was hilary rosen last night. take a listen. >> what you have is mitt romney running around the country saying, well, you know, my wife tells me that what women really care about are economic issues and when i listen to my wife that's what i'm hearing. guess what? his wife has actually never worked a day in her life. she's never really dealt with the kinds of economic issues that a majority of the women in this country are facing. >> all right. so this morning hilary rosen added this, saying that "this isn't about whether ann romney or i or other women of some means can afford to make a choice to stay at home to raise the kids." all right. so perry, you have covered the obama administration. what do you think the immediate reaction was for men and for women working in the white house and the chicago offices to try to get a handle on this?

he went out -- perry. he went all through the inlets looking for perry como.ne of the nicest men ever. >> what a great photo! >> so thanks for the picture. it was great to see them. how was your weekend? >> rohobeth was great. we were sitting at this restaurant called go brit. remember go fish? well, they opened another one called go brit. >> fish and chips, i bet. >> yep. same deal but another one. it was a great, great, great weekend. but here's something else we did. so i was reading somewhere that there was an experiment. i said to hanna, let's do an experiment. she said okay, what is it? i said let's get two cans of koerks a can of regular coke and a can of diet coke. because i read somewhere that if you submerge them in water the coke sinks and the diet coke floats, the can. so we put them in the bathtub and then we all crammed into this bathtub, which you'll see, and we're all looking. >> gee, this was a fun weekend! >> but you will be surprised to learn what happens. so i got a can of coke and a can of diet coke. and here's some water. >> why don't you

but certainly when it concerns tyler perry, people are going to take noticed, brooke. >> when tyler perrys something a lot of people listen. he said this was racial profiling which is a very serious accusation. also in this post he talked about trayvon martin. also mentioned these two still-missing florida men. how hard is it, though, to prove racial profiling? >> well in this case it's somewhat difficult and i'll tell you why. what you have sometimes are pretext stops. you're being stopped and there's no basis for it. there's a reason invented why you ear being stopped 37 but in this instance there's been some confirmation by him that he did make some type of illegal turn. when you do engage in activities where it's a violation of the law, sometimes it's criminal, sometimes we speed or go through stop signs, then the police are within their boundaries. what's on their mind while they're doing it is always a very difficult question. that's why you look to statistical analysis to see if that supports any accusation that it's racial profiling and people being stopped should not be. so we'll

students at a local high school went to prom thanks to singer katy perry.on richards takes us to the big night. >> reporter: it's been a busy couple days for morgan butler and kelly stringer, seniors. >> we've been getting prom shoes, earrings, dress, all that. >> reporter: like most of the students, kelly and morgan are looking forward to the big night. >> it's kind of the last hurrah before graduation. >> reporter: most of the school was destroyed in the twister, but there was never any doubt there would be a prom. only most were not expecting one quite like this, something resembling a hollywood awards show. the red carpet, news cameras, and plenty of screaming fans. all of this would not have been possible had it not been for the so-called dream team, a team of special events planners. >> we worked until 4:00 this afternoon. >> reporter: the final result, something all the kids seemed to enjoy. >> these kids, every single one of them have a chapter, and this chapter of 2011 was obviously something hopefully no one else has to go through, but to bring it

you write there, a bad back doomed any chance perry stood to break through.ient dosages to keep him standing through the two-hour debates. explain what was going on, what you can your co-authors and your team learned. >> evan thomas and i discovered while we were interviewing people for "inside the circus" that rick perry's back surgery and the effects of it really consumed the campaign, that the campaign never got on its feet because rick perry had trouble staying on his feet. one of his former fund raisers told us that they couldn't even line up the member of clicks and the number of photos with top donors that they needed because governor perry wasn't able to stay standing for that long. he was in excruciating pain. you've had back pain and you know how it is. it's not something you can fake and not something you can grid your way through and you can get into the long debates and it hurt him, and we saw that in his debate performance and a manager for another campaign told us in an interview for inside the circus that he was in a restroom outside one of th

perry, this to you. here is president obama friday. take a listen to this first. >> women are not some monolithic block. women are not an interest group. you shouldn't be treated that way. >> so, perry, where has the discussion of women not been -- has not acknowledged the complexity of this group? >> i think particularly the contraceptive discussion has not been helpful to republicans. campaigns never acknowledge the complexitiies of different issues. republicans may be saying the economy is all that matters to all voters. both of those things are too simplistic. romney is doing good among the key group and he has to close that gap. right now, double digit for romney and he has to do something. he's talking about ann romney is my secret weapon. women voters do care more just about than your wife. talk about issues as well, if he's going to have to close that gap he'll have to go more than talk about his wife, talk about issues. >> he has alluded to his wife whenever a question does come up regarding women issues. erin, he may have pro

robinson >> reporter: perry pulled him on stage and kissed him right on the lips. video was posted on youtube and has gotten 77,000 hits. beasley got a chance to kiss and tell on "entertainment tonight." >> well, now i have the man who caused ruckus. i got to know, first of all, what were you thinking when katy brought you on the stage? >> i honestly thought she was just on a -- had me dance. i'm glad she didn't. i'm a terrible dancer. but what happened was much better than a dance. >> reporter: the pop star was reportedly sick with a cold in the day before her annapolis concert and asked midshipman if he was all right with that. he didn't seem to mind. >> she is a great kisser and i hope it will happen again some time. >> reporter: kai jackson, wjz news. >> i don't know the odds of that. jackson said it was meant to recreate the photo of the world war ii sailor kissing his sweetheart at the end of the war. >> there was nothing simple about that particular kiss. >> well, no.

stop just days before perry hosted president obama at his atlanta studio.white police officers who pulled him over. perry said it got hostile and he was so confused because he did nothing illegal. here's what he wrote on his facebook page about the tense encounter. the officer on the driver's side continued to badger me. it happened so fast that i could see how this situation could get out of hand very quickly. i didn't feel safe at all, but one officer stopped his questioning and said we may not let you go. perry described what happened next when another official on the scene, a black officer, recognized his famous face. he wrote, he took one look at me and had that oh, no, look on his face. he immediately took both officers to the back of my car and spoke to them in a hushed tone. after that, one of the officers stayed near his car while one came back very apologetic. joe, perry made reference to the controversial trayvon martin case writing that although there's been significant strides with racially profiling in this country, he believes the world needs

santorum, an gingrich and perry and the rest is compressed into a read called "inside the circus" from politico covering the 2012 election. joining us from two gentlemen. you talk about the issue surrounding the romney campaign and an outside romney campaign adviser told you in the book they haven't been able to grapple with the central issue that they face as campaign which is in the absence of a candidate who has any poetry or any ability to connect on the emotional level how do you create a bond? if you are a supercharismatic candidate like george bush or john mccain, they ran without a bold agenda, because they have a more emotional and values way to connect to the voters, but this guy does not have it. he has the warmth of a wall street ceo. evan, essential he connect at some point for the voters say, i can't have a beer with him, but i think that he can turn the economy around. >> well, as you were saying at the top of the show, if the economy tanks and unemployment is way up, he can win by default, but sure, he's got to do better than he has done. he has been a bad politician. h

"street critique" guest bryan perry weighs in on whether now is the time to buy. well, here we are at the start of another earnings season, but, as we've reported, results are likely to be unimpressive. most forecasting firms are betting overall corporate profits will not show much growth, if any. erika miller digs deeper, looking at which industries are likely to post the biggest declines. >> reporter: profits have been soaring on wall street, but those high-flying days are over for now. seven out of the ten major stock sectors are expected to report a drop in first-quarter profits. >> i think that has to do with much more difficult comparisons because the first quarter of 2011 we were up 20%. also, we find that the price of oil is up close to 4% to 5% on average. and also the value of the dollar is higher. and since most of the companies in the s&p are multinationals, they'll be impacted negatively by a higher dollar. >> reporter: basic materials is expected to be the worst performing sector, with a more than 14% decline in earnings compared to a year ago. the r

host of "the melissa harris perry" show on msnbc. american women. is he winning the case of why pick me for president? >> well, look, he certainly has real accomplishments and he pointed out that he had two opportunities to put someone on the supreme court. he chose women in both cases. he talked today also about the fact that the very first legislation that he signed into law was the lilly ledbetter equal pay act or fair pay act, so he has real contributions, but the fact is he is being best served by his opponents. it's really the republicans' positions in this primary that are providing an opportunity for president obama to appear to be really the choice for american women. >> reince priebus, as i'm sure you've heard this week, called the gop war on women fiction. saying this this is just made up by the media. so according to the gutmacher institute 90 abortions were signed into law and this was after republicans took over the house saying that we needed to get america back to work. we need jobs. we need jobs. so abortion restrict
