i'm john king, our special report, paul ryan in depth. one of the big debates in this campaign is should governor romney release more income taxes? because paul ryan turned over several years during the vice presidential vetting process bo, democrats saying mitt romney should release. jim acosta is here. they understand the pressures. they understand the heat from the democrats. what will paul ryan show the american people? >> john, what we're hearing from the campaign tonight, paul ryan is doing that interview on cbs with mitt romney. he said during that interview that he will be releasing two years of his tax returns. i went over to a ryan spokesman, try toed confirm that. yes, that is the plan. he's going to release two years of his tax returns. the timetable? i got word back that as soon as they're ready is essentially when we're going to see the tax returns. john, as you know, this has been a looming issue, a pressing issue for the romney campaign all throughout this primary and regular campaign season cycle. i think what we're going

john paul, great to see you. a lot of a man who went from living in a trailer to becoming a billionaire. a lot in common with snoop lion. >> yeah, snoop and i have a lot in common. >> tell us about this. you and snoop meet up? >> i met snoop here at an event and we're in austin, texas, having dinner. a wonderful man. we started talking about how fortunate we were to have the american dream happen for both of us, because we both come from no means. we talked about what i did for america and what he did to make those more fortunate, he's into sports and let's do something for jamaica. we all go there on vacation, we love the people, but french town and trivia town, very low income, what can we do together? so i talked about grow appalacha. our organization is called mind gardening. you garden with your mind, not just your hands. nourish your own mind with the right vegetables and right thoughts. that's where it all started. this thing is complete and under way right now. >> you mentioned grow appalaicha, that's whe

bottom half, maryland with the bases loaded, john paul walsh takes one for the club. hit by the pitch. tied 1-1. brady peer lays down a perfect bunt. scored the game-winning run. moptgomry county, maryland to face japan sunday for the international championship game. after the game last night against the lions, halfway through the spren we have a pretty good idea who locked up what position when it comes to starters anyway except for one, kicker. john harbaugh has a tough call to make about ma to do with billy cundiff. cundiff kicked well friday night 26789 for 2, and this one from 44. also good from 33. but there remains a question how cundiff will truly recover following the miss in the a.f.c. title game. and he's doing his best to make him ponder. more accurate in practice and perfect in the game so far, 50-yarder. kickoffs part of the equation. still too early to call a winner in this race. >> try to tell him we didn't want the ball kicked out of the end zone. we wanted to cover kicks as much as they could. and they were pulling back and took five-yard approaches

he's john paul degorgia, an "outfront" strike member. he has purchased one of the most well-known private trains in american history. a roosevelt campaign train. using it to spread his own political message. and taking the train to both republican and democratic conventions. he invited us to join him on board at the amtrak station in tampa. this isn't made to look like an old train. >> no, this is an old train. yeah, this train is 1927. you're sitting in a room right now where the famous senator from the great state of louisiana, huey long, spent many an hour, many a meal. roosevelt campaigned off the back of this train in the early part of the 1900s. there were 10,000 private train cars. everyone that ran for the office did it off the back of a train. this was the cnn of the day. where you talk off the back of the train. grassroots. people could feel and see the politician eye to eye. >> you refurbished it. >> i took the whole thing apart. make sure the train runs off biodiesel. refurbished everything. and put what you would call state

paul jones, i've not yet begun to fight. >> firestorm engulfed the presidential ticket yesterday where mitt romney was asked whether akin should remove himself from the race. >> his comments about rape were deeply offensive. and i can't defend what he said. i can't defend him. >> do you think for the benefit of the party you should drop out? >> well, the thing he should consider is what's in the best interest of the things he believes most deep ly, what wil help the country at this critical time. >> so, while romney stopped short of calling for akin to drop out, plenty of other republicans did, fearing he could cost them elections beyond missouri. senator jon cornerin, said the national republican party would stop supporti inin ining -- spe money to support akin's run. romney's running mate, paul ryan, called akin personally, asking him to leave the race. democrats were also quick to highlight that ryan had co-sponsored legislation with congressman akin that would outlaw all abortions, even in cases of rape. president obama yesterday stopped by the white house briefing room, making a r

so if you disagree with the chief a lot as john paul stevens did, it's a big plum. you get to write a lot of important opinions or assign them. he don't disagree with the chief that much. if it wasn't for the honor of the thing, i would rather not be introduced as the senior associate justice. >> thank you very much for your time. >> i enjoyed it very much. thank you. >> joining me now with more on his interview with justice scalia is nbc justice correspondent pete williams. did you ever start writing an opinion of a dissent and go the other way. i wonder where this came from with the speculation about chief justice roberts and health care. >> he knew what i was asking. >> he knew what you were up to. unusually busy term. what's going to come in the next one? >> affirmative action, possibly gay marriage, possibly a review of the voting rights act. it's going to be a big term next term. i should say one thing about the interview. the reason he did it is because he has this new book out called "reading the law." what he told me is there are hundreds of judicial cannon

i would like to point out that this current pope benedict and the last pope, john paul ii both opposed the iraq war. paul ryan believes they were wrong. so that's what kind of a staunch catholic you're dealing with right here. again, the whole essence of this argument is are women who are raped entitled to the choice of what they want to do with that pregnancy? now, i know plenty of folks who describe themselves as pro-life who still feel this way. in fact, the majority of this country supports some or all abortion rights. according to a gallup poll earlier this year, 77% of americans support all or some abortion rights. less than half. only 43% identify themselves as pro-choice. when this gallup poll came out two months ago our pro-life friends made a big fuss about it saying they were winning and that somehow abortion rights was becoming less popular. abortions never popular. so -- but when you look at the actual figures it shows that 77% of all americans don't classify themselves as pro-choice but they do support all or some abortion rights. so again it's not going to happen no matt

starting with john paul stevens. of course, justice o'connor. the role of judges has been the subject of two previous hearings with supreme court justices. justice kennedy, scalia and brier. in the wake of the recent rhetoric about the sitting she's just as, i think that the conversation is more relevant. i am concerned about the rhetoric about the chief justice. he has been called everything from a traitor to having betrayed president george w. bush. i think these types of attacks reveal the misguided notion that justices and judges 0 some allegiance to the president who appointed them. i've served on this committee for the three decades. i have questioned every supreme court justice serving on the high court at their confirmation hearings. i've voted to confirm justices and judges nominated by both republican and democratic presidents. as i did in voting for chief justice roberts. on long noted that i do not vote to confirm individuals because i expect to agree with all of their decisions. probably every justice i voted, i disagree with some d

pope john paul ii. when he first appeared in the balcony, a correspondent to the scene wrote to his editor with a first impression. this is not just a pope from poland, he said, this is a pope from -- and in 1979, pope john paul ii celebrated mass with you in a square not far from here. he reminded the world that there would be no justice in europe without an independent poland and he reminded the polish people long deprived of that independence from where they drew their source of strength. while he was greeting a crowd along a fence, he met a little girl. he paused and asked where is poland. the little girl caught offguard couldn't answer him. she laughed nervously until the great pope put his hand over her heart and said poland is here. john paul ii understood that a nation is not a flag. or a plot of land. it is a people. a community of values. and the highest value poland honors to the world's great fortune is man's innate desire to be free. unfortunately, there are parts of the world today where t

paul died of a diamond league meet last month with a back injury his coach sais there in our concerns over a foot problem two thousand and four champion and missed the beijing games with a similar company. before our departure from germany you had an examination of his food by german doctor who told us that the injuries not a big problem however he can't tell us how serious the problem is i think we'll have some medical experts to have a check and use food in the olympic village also will try to judge the situation through training in the next couple of days. ok let's leave the olympics behind and move to football russian premier league champions and have dealt an early blow to title rival saskin moscow the st petersburg squad recording a three one win away in the russian capital and he finished fifteen points ahead of c.s.k. last season on have already put clear daylight between themselves and the army men in this campaign the much as good as over after just half an hour to get some act topping home and alexander chris rock of cross just ten minutes in three minutes later on it was t

and to quote my old friend john paul jones, i've not yet begun to fight. >> the controversy -- >> how old is akin? >> i think he's actually talking about the bassist for led zeplin. >> the controversy made it all the way to the ticket where mitt romney was asked if akin should remove himself from the race. >> his comments about rape were deeply offensive. i can't defend what he said, i can't defend him. >> do you think for the benefit of the party, sir, he should drop out? >> the thing he should consider is what's in the best interest of the things he believes most deeply, what will help the country at this critical time. >> why do you think he didn't just go further and say he should drop out? >> everybody is working behind the scenes now to put some discipline -- but, you know, nicole wallace, when he was talking to nicole about six months ago when we were so despondent about the state of the republican party. sheep goes everybody talks about do i want it to be a conservative party, a moderate party? she goes i'm just tired of it being the stupid party. i'm tired of us being stupid

paul said have again loaded up on it they ramped up their gold holdings or at least holdings of the largest gold backed exchange traded fund this is according to an f.t.c. filing yesterday that businessweek reported on and as the u.s. continues to run trillion dollar plus a budget deficits the question remains unanswered as to how long this can continue because look one major foreign creditors slowly unloads u.s. debt look how another is stepping in and increasing its holdings look at what's happening right behind me with china and japan and japan staggering debt as we know has withstood collapse for two decades so we'll discuss let's get today's capital account. let's talk about capitalism because some many who have been on this show say we're not living in a capitalist era this is crony capitalism and others like our guest today say we're living under something entirely different this is credit to them so when we're trying to solve economic problems we have to address not capitalism but credit to them but how do we get here while massive expansion of debt obviously here is a look

john: i am happy with santorum but i did not like ron paul being squashed. the delegates were their thinking it is part of the game and his son rand paul will carry the banner? >> they have worked so hard. they were upset to try to get him to speak on stage to get him in nomination. it did not work. they were turned away. will they turn to gary johnson or rand paul? it is up to the people. john: they played a tape and afterwards a lot of delegates walked out. did they notice? >> they did. there is discord within the party tried to make it seem in his united but it is not. the fissures have been exposed and if that romney loses the party will dissolve and will have to reinvent itself. john: i'm amazed you can walk and talk with the balloons. [laughter] we will talk about the republicans war on women. gives you a 50% annual bonus. and everyone, but her... likes 50% more cash. but, i have an idea. do you want a princess dress? yes how about some cupcakes? yes lollipop? yes! do you want an etch a sketch? yes! do you want 50% more cash? no you got talent.

pope john paul ii for gave the guy who tried to kill him in 1981. most people think it's reasonable to expect that benedict might forgive someone who stole some papers off his desk. but from the signals from the papal household are that the pope wants the judicial process to go forward. he wants to get to the bottom of what actually happened here before he short circuits the process by issuing a pardon. >> john allen, thanks very much. john. >>> now here's lonnie with another check of the weather. >> good morning, anthony i and rebecca. good morning at home. here's what i have on the satellite and radar. your eye immediately goes to the area where there's moving green on the map, which is where the rain is. big old cold front on the eastern seaboard. possibly severe storms. from maine to florida. then we look at the northern plains. let's zoom in tight if we can. i want to talk about this. does not look that impressive. but the most impressive thing about the low pressure system is the rain it's going to bring. you need some rain. you'll get it from
