it kind of propelled you into that weird celebrity stratosphere?> over the years i watched your career develop. the question i would ask you would be, do you wish you hadn't been propelled into that stratosphere? does part of you wish you had never been a famous star? >> not really. we're fourth generation, my family goes back to vaudeville, my grandfather was a character actor named charlie weaver. it's just sort of in our bones. i do wish to a certain extent i was a little more -- i don't know, a little more grounded and guided in specific decisions along my career path. >> you come from a family so steeped in it, and yet by your own admission, possibly weren't prepared enough for it. why would that be? >> i don't know. i mean, i like to shake it up in general and just sort of look the the world a different way. sort of have a different approach to it. so maybe it's along those lines. i like doing a kids film, i like dressing crazy. i don't know what's wrong with me in that sense. but it's just an individuality. and i don't necessarily play by th

they're ready to jump off of the stratosphere hotel. >> oh. >> why? >> one of their attractions, isn't it? >> they're going up some 855 feet. >> pretty psyched up in the beginning. >> crazy. >> kind of wild. >> very confident. >> a lot of bravado. >> not going to chicken out at the top. >> we're in vegas, let's go. >> not going to chicken out at the top, are you? watch his demeanor change. >> [ bleep ]. oh my god. what am i doing? >> she's giving him instructions, strapping him in. look at his face now. maybe reconsidering his decision. >> but, he doesn't chicken out, despite the very short countdown he's given. watch this. >> i just go? >> go, yep. >> oh! >> he's like, three, two, one, go. she like pushed him off. screamed the whole way down. >> [ bleep ], [ bleep ], [ bleep ]! >> he can't stand up. >> he's on this in knees, thank you, jesus. >> shedding tears. >> tears of joy right there. >> nothing we didn't see at all. just survived 855 feet. >> he wasn't mad, either. seemed to have forgot hen was pushed. >> amazing! >> you know what? i think this

on non-stratospheric restaurant. -- a non-stratospheric question.how do efforts to counter , civil society organizations, how are those efforts facilitated or made more complicated and afghanistan, especially in the south, by efforts to counter cultivation, counter narcotics, the whole issue on the other side, which a lot of us worry about. >> thanks. yes, they are complicated. i think this boils down to the fact that there are obviously several problems of radicalization and extremism. this is a confluence of different factors. on the one hand him a you have groups that are ideologically driven. i think a lot of religious scholars know very well who the people are. your ideological component. malicious --e, militias causing trouble. drug money comes into the whole picture. this is a copout answer, but i think you are absolutely right, the opium reduction complicates everything. occasionally one of the things we saw was that certain forms of violence get covered up by other forms of criminality and violence. is the not sure which chicken and egg and

as i mentioned, you know, cbe is about to go stratospheric, the whole world is taking on this issue. even the saudis are developing a counterradicalization program. so i don't think this issue is going to go away, and we may see some development or movement towards, you know, developing a what exactly is violent extremism in the muslim context, and what are the solutions to it i'd ideologically and theologically. >> yeah. my program of study is this issue about how the united states engages with religion globally for a number of years. we put out a report about a year and a half ago and the final bit of that program. and, you know, why -- we asked agencies throughout the government, you know, why don't we really engage with this issue, and a lot of it is part of the establishment clause of the constitution, they're not really sure if they're allowed to promote religion or not sure if they're allowed to get involved in these issues. and i have been hearing that there's still a reluctance even today -- this is something we've been looking at for about eight years now -- very happy to s

bunch of things going into the ar -- under armor's quarter, which launched the stock into the stratosphere last week. first we know that apparel has been terrible, miserable. the weakest of the weak. secondly, under armor traded 50 times earnings and that's a high multiple. 50 times earnings for gym clothes? the sharks were circling this one. betting that when not if, but when the short fall occurred the stock would be cut in half. oops. it turns out under armor delivered earnings and sales that were in excess of even what the most bullish analyst was looking for and they did with stealth technology in "get rich carefully." better clothes that keep you warm and others that keep you prosweating no matter how hot. he's are technological marvels. plus, the company's expanding internationally and aggressively into china by the way. where the magic team that makes the seahawks look like sissies with their take no prisoners attitude. no wonder the stock went in20% higher in the wake of the quarter. how about netflix? oh, boy, the long knives out for netflix. there were new sign-ups and talk of t

. >> when you achieve the kind of stratospheric superstardom you guys did in the 70s, the absolute sortonification of the disco era in many ways, and of course ""saturday night fever"" and so on, with it came huge fame, huge money, all the trappings and glory and so on. you're hinting i guess from your previous comments that it's not all it's cracked up to be. the fame and the money and the glory that you aspire to. >> no. well, i suppose it is and it isn't. there's all the good stuff, and then there's the fact that fame is something that takes hold of you and then decides what you do with your life. and i never really enjoyed that at all. and i enjoyed sort of knowing what i was going to do, knowing what my brothers and i were going to do. but fame is an animal. it just takes hold of you and says this is who you are, this is what you've got to do. >> tell me about your brothers. start with andy. you lost him when he was 30 years old. i guess he'll always be in your head a 30-year-old young man, right? >> yes. andy was mostly like me. morris and robin were not alike but alike in also ma

. >> reporter: back on earth but forever marveling over his journey into the stratosphere.o. >> it's incredible. >> he walks away. >> so, he broke through the sound barrier about 30 seconds into the fall but he was spinning at that point, and he said he didn't even realize he had broken the sound barrier. he said, quote, i didn't feel it at all. amazing. >> he just broke it. we knew it but i guess back there, he didn't know it. apparently when he pulled that chute 8,000 feet above the desert, the force was 3.27 times the force of gravity. that is just an incredible -- i think we do it. >> why do you look happy and i look annoyed? >> i think the people in graphics are starting to like me. i look kind of cool. they gave me glasses. >> and i don't look cool at all. story of my life. >> i was the instructor and you were the student. i think that's what -- >> oh, that makes sense then. >> see, joe cool the instructor, and you, the newbie. >> okay, thanks. i like your blue jacket there. >>> when we come back, we have a jam-packed "skinny." >> and highlights of super bowl festivit

that is a stratospheric statistic. why is it so popular? >> it's so easy to get.e lacing it with today with the fentanyl it's making it more fatal. it's really about once you know somebody that has an addiction, making sure that they are held accountable to their recovery process. and it's not a ten-day process. it's a long-term process. like doctor diversion programs are three to five years. that's what needs to happen. >> and what about the relapse situation? again we heard that talked about in the piece. philip seymour hoffman had apparently been clean for 23 years. obviously who knows if that's true if he'd had other periods of relapse that he just disguised very well. but when you hear people for example talk about going to rehab for alcohol, they talk about how for the rest of their lives it's difficult to be in the room with it or they don't want to have it being served at the table they're at. for some people that's very hard. is it even harder when you're talking about recovering from heroin? >> absolutely. heroin's one of the most difficult drugs to deto

we figured out later on that chip is jeff michaels's brother, which is -- put it in a different stratosphere the revelation goes. >> you and steve have provoked a new style of response from team christie today because it does not contain an attack on the messenger. unlike the previous team christie responses. >> that's right. >> attacking "the new york times," attacking msnbc, attacking anyone who brings up any information that they don't like. it was this very simple one-sentence line, simply saying -- answering a question that was raised yesterday by you and steve on the program. did chris christie talk to his close friend, jeff michaels, the lobbyist, who is obviously very close to chip michaels, the police officer who was there on the scene? and it is very easy to imagine that some kind of conversation like that has taken place. chris christie felt that that speculation was so hot and so important that he must specifically refute it with that one simple sentence that congratulations, brian, does not include an attack on you for some reason. >> hey, msnbc owes me one then. i think it's in

not forget it was the response to sandy that catapulted new jersey governor chris christie into stratospheric popularity, even though that response along with the infamous "time for some traffic problems in ft. lee" e-mail can be seen as one of the most embarrassing parts of the christie administration's record. already the christie administration fired its biggest sandy contractor which had been responsible for distributing $780 million in sandy aid. and tonight we have late breaking news from wnyc, the administration has parted ways with a second sandy contractor, one that had been supervising the rebuilding of sandy sir v r vifr's homes. more on that shortly. >>> the dramatic scene in new jersey last night when sandy victims came face to face with the officials deciding their fate. >> my pledge to you tonight is i will govern with the spirit of sandy. >> the george washington bridge lane closures didn't just mean headaches for commuters and fallout for chris christie and members of his administration. it also has brought unwanted national attention to the officials tied to the other big sc

let's talk about netflix and tesla, two stocks that have been stratospheric in reaching for heights and they're still going up. there are some people are doubters. bank of america merrill lynch had a $68 price target on tesla which is very, very low. they're the outlyers. are you a believer if these new stocks that represent not only new businesses but new economic models when you look what tesla and netflix are trying to do? >> i like the cutting-edge of new technology and of new business frontiers and things like that but i think tesla's stock price is well above where it needs to be right now. so i would play a lot of caution with that price as far as that goes. netflix, you know, again, stellar stock performance. delivering the way, changing the way consent is delivered right to homes and businesses. david: right. >> that is much more of a realistic type of a model as far as that goes but i caution -- david: you think netflix may actually change the way, maybe perhaps pulling away from traditional cable tv and turning tv into more of an internet phenomenon? >> i think it has the opp

set of numbers that are pretty disappointing, a big bonus pool, the income ratio that is still stratosphericd to the targets where mcewan wants to be. how do i, if i have r.b.s. shares, think about that risk. at some point, once again, the politicians are going to get involved. >> yeah, i think it is probably part of the valuation and part of the story. as we said, you know, it seems like management is almost sort of beholden to this sort of slightly political story of oh, we'll pull back from everything outside of the u.k. somehow, bad and evil and risky and whatever and we only want to be in the u.k. and the broader u.k. economy, if you like. you know, given that involves a lot of shrinkage now and once it is achieved, there is sort of the lack of any kind of growth story, a lack of a spark if, you like in that respect and i think that is to a good extent related to the political situation. >> just very briefly, the capital situation, they are showing a lot of assets. it doesn't look as -- as you may think. there are things you don't know about. also whether or not actually given all of th

had their own hide bound ways of being and their own divide as to where you were in the social stratosphere or whether you were a wildcatter and say about owe desa that you were raised hell in odessa but raised your kids in midland. so there was a certain way of behaving. and a propriety for that. and went to the methodist episcopal church and you had to depend on each other and you had to because it could be harsh. >> midland today has a large hispanic population as much of texas does. what was it like in terms of minorities when laura welsh was rowing up? they all got together for a reunion, when the bushes were in the white house, it seemed that nobody can really remember about the -- i don't think it was a matter of overt separation as much as within a certain class of people. there was almost an obliviousness and when i went back there to do reporting, i would say i was going across town to do an interview and what are you going over that-to-that part of town for? so i think that in many ways people kept to their own lanes as it were. and that had its own shaping. when she went off to

it has launched her into the stratosphere to become one of the highest paid actors in hollywood withk here live inside the dolby theatre. and nick watt, count the ways for sandra. >> reporter: you know, i think sandra might end up as runner-up in the best actress category, but it doesn't matter. she's already scored a huge victory for women and middle-aged people everywhere. >> matt, this is ryan, copy. >> reporter: hurtling alone through space wearing short-shorts, sandra bullock just crashed through hollywood's glass ceiling banking $70 million as the star of "gravity." >> puts her right up there with tom cruise in his heyday and robert downey for "iron man." >> grab ahold of anything you can. >> reporter: why, how, what? well, partly because angelina passed on the role. >> there aren't that many female superstars, so once angelina left, they really needed sandra bullock. and so she got what's become a phenomenal deal. >> reporter: according to "the hollywood reporter," that's 20 mill up front and a slice of "gravity's" ultimately gargantuan box office pie equals 70 mill. she's a b

and where you were and the social stratosphere.dessaed to say about that you raised hell in odessa and raise your kids in midland. certain ways of acting and propriety. she went to the presbyterian church. people are dependent on each other and have to be because it can be kind of partial stop midland today has a large hispanic population. what was the light and terms of minorities what laura was growing up? as to how itpeak was then. there were three different high schools. when they got together for a reunion, when the bushes were in the white house, nobody remembered to invite kids from the other high school. not a matter of a word separation -- overt separation but almost oblivious this -- obliviousness. i was going across town to do an interview and people and has a going to that part of town? people cap to their own lanes. it had its own shaping. -- when she sme of went to smu, she said they do not have remembrance of dr. king and the race riots going on. sodas.ere sock hops and >> we want to put the parents names on records.

. >> so the 29-year-old social media mogul mark zuckerberg, stratosphere financial success, a-list associatestory fame, a movie portrayal. >> people want to go on the internet and check out their friends. >> reporter: and an unmistakable mark on our culture. >> thank you so much, facebook, for hosting this. >> we now use friend as a verb. i don't know if i should thank you for that or yell at you. >> i think it's good. >> do you think about that cultural impact? >> it's pretty mind-blowing to think about. i remember vividly having pizza with my friends a day or two after i opened up the first version of facebook. at the time, i thought, someone needs to build a service like this for the world. i think a lot of what it comes down to is we just cared more. >> reporter: but facebook faced a critical moment almost two years ago. the momentary darling of wall street as the company went public, facebook then stumbled out of the gate. the stock tanked and the leadership of the company's young ceo within the cross hairs. >> everyone's looking at you and saying what happened to facebook? >> we've gone
