substances in the last dozen years, almost all of them hoaxes. this year there have been at least six letters sent to public figures confirmed by the fbi as containing ricin. >> if it's the real stuff and you get enough of it in your system, it's lethal. and there is no antidote for it. >> reporter: in another major overnight development, there is now a second apparently separate set of ricin letters. the fbi says 38-year-old matthew bouquet, arrested last week in spokane, washington sent five suspected ricin letters earlier this month. and among his targets, like one of the letters from shreveport, was president obama. which means two different people in two different places, spokane and shreveport, louisiana, both sent ricin letters to the white house. the mailings were only a week apart. at the moment there is nothing known to connect the two different attacks, george. >> a little bit of an outbreak, i guess in part because ricin is so easy to make. >> it's easy to make but so far the stuff they found is not that toxic. and authorities say it really would not present real health hazard.

even though we heard people say them in a similar context especially on election day. >> absolutely. but yes, he just -- he didn't mean what we all heard. >> no. we all know what he meant. he could have handled it a little better. adam levine is not the problem. right? he should have apologized for a poor choice of words. >> is amanda bynes the problem? >> amanda bynes, i'm seeing reports how her parents feel. and honestly, i don't know what's being done to help her. but i'm not -- the latest report is that her parents are trying to get a conservatorship over her. i don't know if it's true. and they do want to help. it's really hard. any time she's been taken in, the judge is not seeing any compelling reason to put her -- >> she is an adult.

>> -- put her under lockdown. it's very, very hard. i hope that she finds help on her own. it's a sad story, though. >> she just tweeted, i'm not crazy. so she's sort of refuting a lot of people are seeing her behavior, making judgments, but i think ultimately everybody wants one thing. which is her to live a healthy, happy life. >> whatever the problem is. >> yeah. >> go get some help. >> thanks for coming by this morning. robin has big guests over there. >> huge. huge. burning up our heat index, superstars, will smith and his son, jaden.

but the idea of a father who is used to being a commander, used to being in control, in charge, and is injured and has to let his child go into the dangerous world. you know. it's really similar to real life and real life parenting. you know, for jaden and i, you know, this business can be really rough. and almost as dangerous as them chimps in that video. you know. so it really is a scary, a scary proposition. >> you had a great example with your dad and your mom. and so how do you find -- because you know, a lot of people know you for you. >> yes. >> they know you -- they don't know your dad. the people that follow you. so how do you forge your own way? make your own way? >> you know, i really just try to put the most amazing stuff in all my creativity out to the world. i really try to do me, and really what i want to do and please myself instead of trying to please other people. i feel people will gravitate toward you once you are truthful with your art and you aren't doing it just to get noticed but
