look like steve perry.n the band. buzz it difficult for some of the fans to accept him at all or did he win them over pretty quickly? >> he won them over pretty quickly. but he's very self-aware. like he says in the film, i'm short, i'm asian. so i look nothing like steve perry. but i think that, you know -- it's really proof positive that talent really rises above race and culture. >> right. >> because you really see his talent and you can't deny it. etch some of the very skeptical members of the audience were won over, in spite of themselves. >> i always wondered how steve perry felt about finding someone who sounded almost just like him. but you said he issued a statement to oprah saying a few years back, saying he wished him very well, right? he appears to be okay with it. >> yes, yeah. >> where can we see your film? >> the film is playing in select cities across the united states. and you can check out everymansjourney.com for listings. but it's available on itunes and comcast, infinity on streaming. b

steve perry, president of -- host of tv's save my son. it's good to have you here.nd the anger. i think most parents can understand the anger in that woman's voice. as we look at this breakdown of the schools to be closed, 12 elementary schools, three middle schools, eight high schools. help us understand why these school closures happened and what are the implications for the students and the parents involv involv involved? >> the schools are closing because they've failed to educate children. it could be a budget issue too, but ultimately these are some of the lowest performing schools in the city. therefore, these schools are not preparing children for the next level of life and need to be closed. >> when we look at -- nbc has this ongoing education nation, which is fantastic and "nightly news" did a great story on race-based education in certain areas. 23 states have set new academic targets that varies for students based on race. is there an effort to get continuing coverage with no child left behind? is there a middle ground, steve, where we look at this when

also with us on the phone is steve perry, the founder of capital prep magnate school and host of "tvon." what do you make of this? does this speak to maybe some type of pressure this teacher was under? >> absolutely not. this speaks to the fact that we have an adult who made really bad decisions, who happened to be a teacher. there are thousands of teachers teaching all around the world, working their butts off to make sure children have access to world class education and don't do things like this. it is not teaching. it's him. >> jeff, you take this -- how do you take this? do you take it as well as he said, just sort of a sick joke and not that the teacher snapped? >> i have to look at this as a psychologist. to me this is probably an individual who perhaps had some issues in the past, with anxiety, with mood disorders. one of the kids said, look, this guy was generally okay. but when he was mad, you knew he was mad. so this was probably a teacher who was wound very tight, couldn't handle the pressures of the classroom, but i'm sure there were pressures outside of the classroom an

steve: apparently the plan is they're going to let 5,000 out. they started february 22. they're going to let 1,000 out per week for five weeks. >> rick perryr friend of mine. i rooted for him. he had a couple of bad, you know, situations happen during the debate. he is a great governor. he is a strong man. he is the one who is in charge of keeping the illegals -- top law enforcement officer in the great state of texas, and he is right. with all due respect, he was right when he said social security is a big ponzi scheme. it is. he didn't have time that night of the debate to explain it. but the things rick perry says are true. he did that thing about texas being the only state in the union who has the right to secede. it is in our constitution, the agreement we we joined, and that was kind of tongue in cheek. if you're not the one, i have sat in a deer blind. yes, i shot bambi's daddy. get over it. then we ate bambi's daddy. it wasn't just thrown out the truck. i have sat in a dear blind and watched 20 illegal aliens coming across that border. on an individual level, it is tragic. i know some families who have -- >>brian: they can't be let
