ron and antoine are on the pta. so, we invite them to every good event and a lot of times we see them in bad situations also. we always invite them. we opened our doors to them and that was important and i think if you are looking for a ron and antoine the best thing to do is probably if you don't know your officers on the street and their personalities to call our captain and ask him or her if they know of someone you can work with. that's really important. and a lot of the stuff we do we also they wrote a grant for mayor's office of community justice. we actually, i worked with them we got a grant to educate the community of what we need to do to help them in their work. there are things you can do with the mrapolice officers if you st from scratch and think creatively. the next thing is with the da. we have a strong partnership with the da and the liaison with the da. there is a da liaison in every station. you need to get to know that community liaison from the da's office. they are an attorney at the da's offic

ron and i go to almost all of them. the ones we can make i think we rarely miss one that was big enough they asked us to come to. and during those activities we play with the kids. football, basketball whatever you name it we do. one example i will give, too, they had a black and white ball a couple of fridays ago and that night and in the fillmore district. you had kids from as young as 34 up to adults in their 80's. and everyone stayed until it was over like 11 o'clock. it was just a good atmosphere for us to see and look at and see how different people in the community can come together and have a good time without problems. and that's another way we give support. another example. we get kids we know all the time we see everyday. the kid we know say, they are cool that's ron and antoine come over here. for me personally, it's rewarding for me because by ron was saying on tv you see a lot of negative perceptions about the police. just to have kids have a different perspective that they are living everyday like we are

moving on to ron-ron, how are substance use disorders and behavioral health issues portrayed in the media? i think the addiction is portrayed accurately. i don't think the recovery of addiction is portrayed accurately. i think it's always the addiction ready for the other shoe to drop and show all the worst things about addiction and not the assets of recovery. and, of course, doug, we're dealing with so many types of media here. there's television, there is radio, there are movies, which one do you think really is one of the more larger culprits of misrepresenting? i think that while there is so much talk about social media and social networking in using the internet, television is still the number one used medium. the number of hours of tv time is still the single greatest use of any medium as reported by the pew studies that have been done in recent years. so clearly tv has a disproportionate influence on our perceptions and attitudes about recovery. are you including cable in there as well? absolutely, yes. i mean the cable penetration in this country has reached very high percentages

i love ron so much. he's a phenomenal director.ly to work with. >> jimmy: is it different on a comedy than it is on a dramatic movie? >> he was a bit more chipper, and you know, vince really likes to improvise, so you know, it kind of felt a little more relaxed and loose on set. but fundamentally -- i mean, i think he made different choices as a filmmaker because of the genre of the film, because he was making a comedy, but his approach -- you know, he's focused in his approach to directing was pretty familiar for me. >> jimmy: yeah. >> he's a real actor's director. he has a long rehearsal process and -- >> jimmy: and the movie is about -- it's you and vince vaughn are a couple. >> we are a couple, and kevin james and winona ryder are a couple. >> jimmy: vince is about to propose to you. >> yeah, he's about to propose. then he is out actually thinking about what -- the proposal and where it's going to happen and all that kind of stuff, and he witnesses his best friend's wife doing something she shouldn't do with another guy. >> jim

struck ron, thank you. [applause] >> that's exactly where this begins. that was my 21st birthday, march 31, 1968. >> nine start 1969. i was 21 on that day. and so this is the trajectory, this book, suddenly dwight eisenhower is coming home to gettysburg. former president who become a general, a grandfather, a pharmaceutical. my sisters and i are going out. and literally became the page age that day. but the story that comes through here is what it was like to grow up around a figure like this. i've been asked this question all my life, so here is the unified answer. what was it like, but above all, to appreciate the character of this individual who made such a difference, what kind of person was that, and it really came through in the years what was possible to know him in the end. ron, exactly where you and jack brennan and all of us got together at walter reed on march 28-march 31, 1969. spirit and our last question. >> i love the book, and the question i have is, when he went off to high school, your grandfather wrote you a letter because sergeant moo

ron put that in his writing. big ideological divide.want to replace it with anything real. >> absolutely they do. it's a good thing with when political leaders do in office what they promised to do in the campaign trail. republicans campaigned and voters last november went to the polls thinking they were voting for this onerous health care bill to be repealed and replaced. our entitlements are on a path of not sustainable. instead of addressing that problem we added a massive new entitlement we can't afford. >> you have 51 million uninsured. the republican alternative would cover 3 million by 2019 leaving you with 50 million uninsured. today you have republican governors in states with 30 million uninsured. you can repeal the bill but those people don't go away. if you repeal the bill is the answer just to allow status quo to continue. the reason this passed after every other president roosevelt, truman, clinton failed because so many in the system felt the status quo was unacceptable and the republican alternative the return was sunacc

ron barber lived, judge roll did not. investigators say the tapes show how deliberate and calculated the killings were. moments before, loughner can be seen calmly talking to a safeway employee, motioning to his ears that he cannot hear. he was wearing ear plugs. the tapes may not be released until loughner's trial begins, by which time, the hope is that congresswoman giffords is in vastly better shape. dan harris, abc news. >>> and everyone who knows gabrielle giffords talks about how physically active she's always been, even rallying friends out of bed for ten-mile rides and runs, bike rides in the early morning cold. and doctors hope this stamina will help as she heals. as giffords' husband, astronaut mark kelly, has been by her side for the 11 days since the shootings, he says now he is continuing to believe, he is determined to believe that she will be up in just two weeks. and i sat down with him at the hospital, and during our interview, he was already looking ahead. >> as soon as they get her to a rehab center, sh

big ron privetti is a former mobster who helped put about 50 mafia members behind bars. >> you're always concerned about retribution. >> reporter: and big ron's take on whether today's arrest will truly wound or kill la cosa nostra in the u.s.? >> the italian mob is not dead now. it will never be dead because as long as there's people out there that gamble, go to prostitutes, borrow money, there is always going to be somebody to cater to them. you'll be dead and i'll be dead the italian mafia will still be here. >> reporter: so, george, i guess the short answer is, forget about it. >> i was wondering if you were going to go there. okay, thanks, pierre. >>> and there was more good news from tucson today. it will be congresswoman gabrielle giffords' last night in the hospital there. she'll be moving to houston tomorrow morning to begin rehab, and as ryan owens reports, her husband and doctors shared other encouraging signs of progress. >> reporter: for the first time in almost two weeks, gabby giffords saw sunlight today. doctors wheeled her outside to a hospital deck. her husband, mark ke
