tom brady going up against tim tebow. while quarterbacks don't play against each other, their teams do. both have skills on the field. sifts off of it. once has dated and married a supermodel. one is a devout christian and virgin. tebow has momentum. however, he's going up against one heck of a team. and in tom brady, a quarterback who is having another record-setting season. for tebow's sake, it helps to have that defense and that kicker. i'm just saying. >> doesn't hurt. >> it will be a good game. >> going to be sunday. >> the delivery of that. >> and -- scene. >>> how's that, lara spencer? >> again? here we go. good morning to you all. justin bieber is not a really good driver or the lapd has a case of bieber fever. the biebs pulled over again in l.a. this week. it's the third time in five months. police say he made a left-hand turn from the middle lane while driving a car. >> bad driving. >> that's illegal. but no one noticed the car he was in. it was that cadillac converted into a bat mobile. did i also mention he has his initials on the door, in case you didn't notice. the bat mobile. the biebs was let off with

what tom says is absolutely right, it's globalization, we need to raise the skill levels.l not getting more than a third of our kids through a college degree, which is one of the most reliable ways into the middle class. in fact, just about the only reliable way, but the numbers from the census are really shocking. you know, it's -- america's changing, it's below the radar screen in terms of where the media are often. but what's really happening out in america. we heard it from the mayors yesterday, the massive amount of hunger in the cities, we still can't get taxes on the hedge fund guys. because that's where the politics is gridlocked. >> well, tom, let's talk about the politics for a minute. i want to get everybody's take on the republican debate last night, but before we do that, we can look at the republican debate and talk about dysfunction, we can also talk about what's happening in washington, d.c. they're scrambling now to avert a third possible shutdown in a year. this system is broken, tom. >> well, you know, joe, if you think -- what's so frustrating is we are

i appreciate the support that tom has given to this because there are a lot of construction firms that will lose really skilleded workers if they can't find something to do. there's not a big demand for new buildings today. therefore, the best opportunity to preserve and rebuild this sector is through greater energy efficiency. i want to thank all the people who have been involved in this. mr. president, i just want to say how grateful i am for the meeting we just attended. the president's jobs council and economic team have put together a meeting that we were present at with nearly 50 people there. he'll tell you what they said they would do, but i hate to sound like a broken record. we could create an almost unlimited number of jobs out of this, even in this lousy economy, even with all of this embedded mortgage crisis if we can work out the financing. i am grateful to be able to support this, to offer the continued effort of our climate change project and the clinton global initiative to help the partners we have that are involved in this and anybody else that wants it. i'm especially grateful that the pres

tom cruise, michael jackson, you know, all these big celebrities. and then it kind of changed. and people were kind of interested in shooting paris hilton. >> celebrity fame used to be based upon talent and skillsay, it seems to be just based on how much publicity you can generate. you can't buy a great picture. you got to take a great picture. >> won't get better than this. all right. >> speaking of great pictures, we couldn't pass this one up, let's share it not making this up, you are going to see it for yourself, this is the zukata fly board, like a boogie board, way cooler, unlike the jet pack, last year, the thrust comes from the feet. look at this guy go. kind of looks fun. hold your nose though, i guess. a skilled user can do amazing things, dive in and out of the water like a dolphin, flipping around. hey, holidays are just around the corner. the zapata fly board could be yours. >>> into us in cnn involving the very last detainee being held in iraq. arwa damon stepped in front of the camera for us in baghdad, go to arwa next. >>> and more breaking news involving the alleged penn state cover up. we will be right back. tissue box (whispering): he said nasal congestion... nyquil: i heard
