i appreciate the wonderful words of your superintendent, that was exactly the dynamic in sioux falls and that's the remarkable thing, superintendent, is that this issue knows no boundaries. this issue knows -- it doesn't know class boundaries, it doesn't know race boundaries, it's an issue regretablely that has been timeless. it seems we were all too frequently taught that bullying is simply a rite of passage, i went to christ the king grammar school in buffalo, new york, you would go behind the building and settle your scores at the end of the day and that was an accepted way of doing business. but we're learning and raising consciousness that, no, it's not an acceptable way of doing business. i've had conversations with the mother of seth walsh, of people who have literally taken their own lives and as a father of three, this isn't simply an issue of civil rights enforcement, this is something very personal. because i can't imagine the unspeakable grief that parents must go through. i can't imagine the unspeakable grief in murphiesboro, tennessee, when we talk to the leaders in the

that experience there, growing up in sioux city, anchored him s the 185ththat i based today in sioux city. he maintained his relationships with the people that served there, with the airmen that serve out of the 185th in sioux city. sioux city was always his home. he kept his contacts there. he transferred his family down to pensacola, florida, in that area, because there is a lot of military down there and of course it's a great place to live. i came back from there last night having joined in the funeral and procession to the cemetery for colonel bud day. after his korean war experience, where he served two tours, he decided to make the air force a career. one of the things he did was he was deployed to the base at niagara in new york which he euphemistically called nigeria, but they loved it up there, and he built good bonds with people and strong bonds, and he took his flying hours up and with those flying hours he had he became one of the most experienced pilots to be deployed to vietnam. . so he anticipated he would retire in 1968, but then major day was assigned to the 31st ta

the referendum vote was a very good foundation and by doing that, the leadership with the ogalalla sioux tribe asked for feedback from the community, what do you want? and by that referendum, although it is my understanding only 400 people voted, the vote was to open up liquor sales on the reservation. >> but the experience of other -- >>> i think that's a very good -- >> the experience of other reservations does it tend to be positive when it goes to selling alcohol? >> two-thirds of our reservations currently have liquor sales on the reservations. and what the research shows is that for three to five years, once the liquor sales are opened up on reservations, there's a huge spike in alcohol related deaths. which include liver disease, traffic accidents, homicide, suicide and accidents. so what needs to happen and what has occurred at pine ridge is that the leadership took one to two years to prepare for this huge spike, and escalation of alcohol-related deaths. and that's really important that you just -- you have to -- you have to have a plan. you have to organize. and this includes m

at the same time in sioux falls, a town close to them, that had a suicide and the whole community came together to take a positive approach and that kind of combines the two things, looking at how we treat each other online as well as how we treat each other on the community. you can go to our wepb site and see the progression as the whole community came together, the school district, the city, the library and they all worked together saying this isn't what we want in our town and they are being very proactive. another thing is we work with students and they came up with a positive campaign on facebook that they did, we have a little film on cyber bullying where some students in new jersey came together and they called it a virtual hug. they tried to basically bring that positive environment to the internet because kids are sort of shifting that culture. we also want to shift the culture on the internet. >> mike or stacy, rick, amina, anything regarding social media, not just the connection with bullying but how you can use social media for positive ends. >> i think again we have the m

we screened in sioux city before anyone had seen the movie for all the administrators in the movie. obviously we've been down a long road with this community and i will make a point thanking them for their courage in making this film, which is what you thought nobody would ever do, which is allow a camera to film for a year inside a building and film those interactions and those conversations. but they did it because they wanted to do better. but when we first did the screening, someone that had been an administrator for many many years basically said, listen, if we're going to be honest in unpacking this movie, then we have to recognize and i'll be the first one to say it, that i have made those mistakes. i have rushed to judge. i have gotten it wrong in exactly that same way many times in my career. then suddenly the conversation started to flow and not only did people connect to how they missed those moments and that they don't, that they felt they didn't have the training to catch those moments or really do that inner reflection, but then they started sharing their stories of be

we settled in california for three years, but after that we lived in sioux county for the rest of my time here. that is my home, i grew up in orange city, iowa, i've been there since first grade until i graduated from college, and i love the cornfields, and i love even sometimes the smell, i know -- [laughter] but that is home, that is where i feel comfortable, and it's been great to see the way the community has changed over the years. when i first arrived there, it was me and my cousins who were the only latinos at the elementary school. but as the community has changed and more and more newcomers have come, it's become something a lot different, and it's i think something that can be such a benefit to our communities as we see almost one in four elementary school students now in the local school systems where i live. and when you see -- [inaudible] spring up in small town iowa, it's been such a huge change, but i think it's also been such a huge boost in benefits to the local community, and it's just exciting, the times that are occurring right now. and i think that it's something

so and sioux, what you just said is incorrect. here's the fact. please, look at the camera, correct it. to your millions of listeners and viewers. these are the facts. make them sweat. make them tell the truth. put them on the hot seat. they are going to put you on the hot seat, put them right back on the hot seat. if they conduct an honorable honest, it could be a smash mouth interview, brass knuckles, i don't have a problem with that as long as it's honest, and honorable, and you do it to the other side as well, but if they do not play by the rules, why participate? that's the first rule to them is stand up to them and be very choosey about who you talk to. you don't need them. they need you. yes, sir? >> jeff, counsel for america. you eluded to how candy threw a lifeline to barack obama, and i wonder in 2016 what your suggestion would be as to how the states should be structured in both the primaries and general elections because in the primaries, you know, with george cornering mitt romney on the contraception question, he threw that debate ou

this may play in new jersey, but when you go beyond new jersey and you start to go to places like siouxity, iowa, or manchester, new hampshire, it's not only the reporters that are asking tough questions or in the minds of chris christie asking silly questions. many of those voters demand to have the same level of scrutiny. they want to -- they want to scrutinize the candidates, so that becomes a very big challenge for him if he's looking at a 2016 race which is it may play well on youtube, it may play well within the new jersey media, but when you're doing it every single day, sometimes three, four times a day on a campaign trail, on a presidential race, it's not going to play as well with those audiences. >> the moment he calls a little old lady in iowa in the dead of winter an idiot for asking a tough question, his campaign's over. >> it will be a lot of fun for us to cover, though, gentlemen. good to see you both. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thanks for being on. >>> and still to come miley cyrus responds to her critics with a new set of photos. why the singer felt she needed to d
