denzel washington said in "philadelphia," talk to me like i'm a fourth grader. explain it to me. why do you have a guy who's like the number one or number two college prospect in america, he could have any girl, not only on the notre dame campus, but probably on any campus in america. >> fair to say. >> is that fair to say? >> very. >> is that as obvious as my red sweater? >> i'm not that bright but it's fair to say. >> we've all gone to college. these guys are adored. they are worshipped. why would a dude decide to date, in quote marks, somebody that he didn't see for two years and it ended up that the dude -- that the lady was actually a dude on the other side -- and it doesn't make sense to me, harold. explain it to me. i want to understand. >> i'll be 43 this year. i don't understand all of the online dating. and i've never participated in anything like that, but i can't imagine -- >> that's not what anthony wiener says, but that's okay. you guys had some good times. >> i can't imagine she'd go 2 1/2, 3 years without seeing your girlfriend. >> that's not the story. >> that's an element of the story. >> so allegedly they meet

washington, d.c., down at the h.u.d. headquarters was watching or even showed any concern. in philadelphia, the executive director's salary was $300,000 plus a $45,000 bonus. we had a housing authority -- he had a housing authority car and driver and the housing authority fuell actually paid hs mortgage. this money is supposed to help people with very low incomes afford safe and decent housing, but instead they were concerned about their own salary, their own housing and the taxpayers' money was meant to go to lower-income people for safe and decent housing and all the money wasn't being used for that. it's not supposed to subsidize the housing costs of a government bureaucrat in philadelphia who already makes $345,000 a year. in chelsea, massachusetts, the executive director's salary was $360,000. he cashed out weeks of unused leave and sick time while only spending about 15 full days per year in the office. these executive directors used taxpayers' money to build and protect their own fiefdoms, usually at the expense of the poor. in philadelphia, this included spending millions of dollar

and i hoe in the philadelphia area there's going to be 100,000 people doing it on martin luther king day tomorrow. >> there's a great piece in the "washington post" this morning comparing orf the similarities between dr. king and president obama and this, of course, is going to be -- this is going to be the comparison that's madeno now in the end of type. what are some -- you knew both men. what are some of the similarities between the two, between the men and their work? >> for them words matter because they then try to turn words into action. word must be made flesh, and i think the great similarity is that they have very much the same vision, but they have a determination in practical ways to meet the major challenges of our time. i would put high on it what king did in his speech on the lincoln memorial. the "i have a dream" speech was that we must open the doors of all opportunity to every child born alive with the fierce urgency of now, and i think they both have that fierce urgency, but they have a vision that takes them beyond partisanship. >> that fierce urgency of now, those are words that president obama used frequently early on when he was campaigning around a
