rachael, let me ask you this. what would you say was your big breakthrough moment when you finally said, you know what, i am going somewhere? >> my life has been a series of happy accidents, and the thing that has made those accidents successful is i enjoy working really hard. i enjoy a long day. i enjoy many plates in the air. i do think, like these gentlemen, not in the real long term, but bobby hit on something i think is important. you should always get up with the intent to make yourself better and to grow and to learn, but you have to know what you do well, what you offer, and you need to stay true to that. i never had any designs or ideas on being in television. i loved working in food. i loved living in the country. i had a pickup truck and a great job. any job in food makes me happy, with the exception of dish machine operator. that is humbling, hot, and very hard work. i don't wish to have that job again. i loved restaurants. i've wanted to get back into restaurants for years. i think that is something w

now the service promises delivery times for purchases made at the mall and from online tenants not rachael but i ask you what do you think of this new model well erin as you know i grew up in new jersey. i grew up in new jersey and essentially spent most of my teenage years at a mall until we were old enough to drive and go somewhere else so on a personal sentimental note it's a little sad but it certainly seems to be the way things are going i mean haven't you you know even sometimes you don't go to the drugstore at the corner especially the winter because it's cold out and you just wish it could be delivered to you so the fact that now malls are saying we will deliver things you we will even not force you to come in here in the first place that's that seems like a positive thing or it was just the we did seems like the way the trend the way things are going now to deliver a good kind of become a key battleground in the war between you know physical and online retailers so i'm wondering who do you think has a better chance of winning this particular battle in the war in just about all the

unskilled and have been unemployed for a long time implying they should be grateful to work at amazon rachael i turn to you in a down economy when employers have so much power like amazon does do workers have much leverage when they go on strike in a place like germany they have significantly more leverage than they do in the united states and that has to do with germany's labor laws which are regarded as significantly stronger and more in favor of employees then in the united states ok now according to reports in the german media amazon is accusing strikers a quote is quote from german media not us trying to steal first to know who herrera grinch led to the timing of his joke trying to give workers an overhand other than the labor laws so they could go both ways i think i mean clearly amazon in germany has a very strong need to get all of those packages done on time and get them to people by the time that santa's supposed to bring them at the same time so clearly they have a need for these workers but at the same time if people who are customers that amazon and who enjoy the services they pr

. >> thank you, rachael. >> when the people who run news organizations like ours decide whether or not to air this kind of sensitive material, what is there to consider? >> first and fore most, everyone will be aware of what a difficult day this will be tomorrow in newtown. i think they will be listening to those tapes to see if there is anything news worthy in them. do we learn anything that we didn't already know about this case from those tapes? anything about the reaction of the police, for example. it's hard to say until you heard the tapes, but i think that's what people will be listening to first and fore most. what i'm skirting is the difficult question of what do you do if you hear gunshots on those tapes? i think that will be a tough one. you know, those are -- we live in a society that is used to imans of violence. on the media ul a the time, television, movies, but this is real violence, these are real people. and just the sound of it, it is more horrible than anything you can think of that you see in some, you know, action video game in a way. >> now that we know what thos
