he's joining us via skype from sacramento, california, where he is a bounty hunter. leonard, thank you for being with us. what do you make of all this? especially the silhouette in the car that looks like a child in the fetal position and this recent photo that cindy anthony is having private investigators investigate that it's a living caylee in puerto rico. >> well, if you were to believe cindy thinks you have to do away with all the forensics and the studies done at the body farm and the fbi lab in quantico. as far as the stain or the indentation in the trunk of a child in the fetal position, that first came up the very first night that we met with george and cindy. they said there was a stain in the car that the cops were alluding to being something -- decomposition, but it was there when we bought the car for lee years ago. however, the -- it doesn't flezly haflez necessarily have to be a stain. it could be an indentation in the napping of the carpet inside the trunk of the car. and therefore, there might not be any dna. it may just be the body did an indentatio

now let's go to a skype question from jennifer, who lives in new jersey.>> so, we wanted to do some home improvements on our house, which includes putting solar panels on, and we need to upgrade the electric and put a new roof and probably cut back a tree. so, my husband suggests borrowing against his 403b to do this. it's 2% interest over five years to pay it off. is this a good idea? >> david's here. i can already tell you, i know what the answer to that is, jennifer. and what's your husband's name, jennifer? >> german. >> german, okay, guys. >> before i say no to you, plate start with the solar panels, because this is good for you to hear and all of america to hear now. green is green. the truth of the matter is, putting in energy-efficient appliances into your home will ultimately save you money long-term. it's good for the planet. it will be good for your pocketbook. government will absolutely help you right now pay for those solar panels and anything you do r your home that's energy-efficient. so write this website down. go to energystar.gov. in the

also want to say another lawsuit over skype with ebay. they continue to have problems over that. last thing, activision, a story in the new york post is maybe they're going to skim the console people and create games to play straight from the box on your tv. we'll see how that goes. down 1.2%. let's go to bertha at the nymex. >> we're seeing a sell-off here in energy and commodities overall with the dollar weaker against the euro and equities lower. ms global says this is a market in search of direction. it's not clear whether we're going to break lower on oil or move higher here. if we get some more momentum in stock. he says it's more bearish right now as far as gasoline and the product for fundamentals. taking a look at gold this northern i morning, we dipped below the $1,000 an ounce. we are back above there. that's a number they're going to be watching today. >> thank you, bertha. trading in europe under way. asian markets looking ahead to f tomorrow. today is the day to go global. let's go to ross and mandy. ross is first. >> erin, thanks very much. you heard bertha there t

you can see he is joining us from brazil on skype.lso with us on the set is arianna huffington of the huffington post and a long list of other grand accomplishments and fresh back from israel. nice to see you. glenn, i will begin with you. what can we do better in asking questions about the iran conversation and their nuclear resources that we did not necessarily do with iraq or afghanistan? >> well, i think the principal obligation should be to demand there is actual evidence before believing the claims that are being made about iran. for example, the president began by saying that iran is violating the rules which all nations are required to abide by and that seems to be actually false. the only obligation that iran has under the nuclear proliferation treaty is to disclose any facilities at least 180 days before nuclear materiel is introduced and they did that well in advance of 180 days and did it at least a year or a year and a half before that facility is operable. at the same time, america's key ally in that region, israel, refu

one via skype. he's a relationship expert. but how did you come about this?ing this knowledge about the importance of -- >> i mean, i messed up. you know? it's no secret. i'm in my third marriage. i've blown it enough times to figure it out. that's how you learn, through error and mistake. once i got it figured out, i was able to put it down on a piece of paper in a book. and maybe share with some people what i've learned through mistakes. this one, i think i got it right. >> you ready to get some advice from mr. harvey? he's going to help you, with some straight talk. >> regular advice. >> it's anything but. it's anything but. coming up, more straight talk on money and marriage with this man right here, steve harvey. going to get to all of our couples in our next half hour. come on back. ♪ what a man okay...um...eighteen pounds and a smidge. a smidge? y'know, there's really no need to weigh packages under 70 pounds. with priority mail flat rate boxes from the postal service, if it fits, it ships anywhere in the country for a low flat rate. cool. you know thi

companies like vonage and skype use voice over internet protocol or voip technology to offer potentiallyr phone services. so that's definitely worth looking into. >> yeah, sure. entertainment, as we know, big expense, especially for college kids. any ideas on this? >> well, let's talk about free, right? everybody loves free. >> that's a good deal. >> check out freeonlinevideogames for pop.com. and you'll find a list of movie sites including hulu.com. movie fans, go over to pandora.com for hours of free tunes. >> what advice do you have about credit cards? do you give your college kid a credit card? give one in your name? how should people be handling that? >> guess what, often you don't even have that option because your college student gets it on compass, right, before you even have that conversation. but they're not going to be doing that anymore starting next year. until then, though, you want to make sure you avoid the free t-shirt and pen marketers who offer kids to sign up for a card. we want kids to build up a solid credit history. find your homework and find a card with a low int

our dave ross was at the game at the meadowlands yesterday and he joins us via skype this morning from jersey to play monday morning quarterback. all right, dave, let's get right to it. santana moss in a little bit of a scrum leaving some of the people i was watching the game to say the redskins couldn't even win the fight on the field. what did santana have to say. >> reporter: let's be fair about it. santana is shorter than me so it's tough for him to win a fight with anybody. here's the funny thing about the play. he said that he and cory webster, i asked him what happened. you know it's a funny thing, i don't know what happened. we're pretty cool. we get along really well. but you know in the heat of the moment, it's the nfc east. he said cory got him in the face so he decided to jam him right back. you saw santana's helmet got ripped off in the fray. five minutes later, there was no ill will between the two again and they actually -- if you will, they kissed and made up. the funny thing later on in the game too is santana returned a punt and got tackled by his brother, so there's

host: you are calling on an skype? caller: yes. host: go ahead.caller: am i correct that insurance companies won't be able to charge anybody anymore money for any preexisting conditions? that seems a little unfair that healthy people will be picking up the tab for people who are healthy. if i go to college and study hard, i usually make more money than somebody doesn't study hard. maybe i am naturally smarter, i am going to make more money than somebody else. the same goes with healthcare, in i work out and take better care of myself, maybe i'm lucky and born with good genes. it doesn't seem fair you can't charge anything more for preexisting conditions. another question i have. i'm curious -- i'm covered by the korean health system. am i still going to have to buy an american policy? host: tell us about that coverage. caller: it works well for me. when i'm in the united states, i get my care through the veteran's administration. the only problems i've had is with my back. when i go to the doctor, i spend about $5. host: is that here or in korea?
