ken? >> let me go back to what senator paul said. look, in reality i don't believe people making $1 million in the year, are going to do anything. i just don't believe it. >> i think what you mistake here it matters whose money it is. that's sort of a pejorative or a moralistic way of looking at it. the economy doesn't care whether rich people have it, middle income or poor people have it, the economy cares whether the money is in the efficient sector, the private sector or you give it to government. when it's inefficient and bad use of money to take money out of the private sector taking it from rich people, middle class or poor people, just a bad idea. >> senator, all due respect, our taxes are going to go up. they have to go up. like it or not, what i'm saying a person making $1 million will pay the higher tax and will still spend as much money. i think -- >> i'll give you examples of where it has made a difference. you know, we went after to punish rich people several years ago with a special tax on yachts. what happened is the r

the day you came, i had ken meares here, who's with us tonight. let's welcome ken meares. we also have dr. downey with us tonight, uh, dr. john downey, he's from here in augusta, georgia... and, so, we got, we have everybody here tonight, to cover this whole thing. but you said, "i'm gonna bring ken meares here," and we sat here that afternoon and one of our girls was having pain-- i'm not gonna tell you what kind of pain she was having-- she was having pain... >> yeah. >> and she just was gonna go home because she didn't feel good, and so we took one of the little pills out of here and gave it to her and she said, "i feel better." >> right. >> does it really work like that? >> sometimes it does. sometimes it takes a little bit longer, but we've had people get response with shoulder pain, for example, within three hours. but, in my situation, i had... >> tell me about you. >> well... and that's how i found out about it. uh, i had what is called a morton's neuroma in my right foot. i had great pain, i could not wear normal shoes, i had to buy the special, ugly shoes which..

this week a discussion with ken burns on the american spirit in hard times. his new documentary called "the dust bowl" tells the story about one of the worst man made ecological disasters in history. i want to start with politics. you spent so much time in the nation's past. there is a lot at stake. the reluctance on the part of the leaders to say the american people. >> a lot of it is for the last 30 years we changed the dialogue from not my version of government is better than yours to the belief government isn't right. the person who believes the government is a workable instrument as to fight to a resistant to that. during the depression and the dust bowl during the second world war and other periods we have had a sense of shared sacrifice to get things done that democracy is the politics of the half love. not everybody gets everything. when we realize we are going to have to give it up it is given up in the back roomgz i think this take no prisoners my way or the highway attitude shows an incredible lack of the awareness of what it means to govern in the

ken. >> uncle ken. >> jimmy: there's always an uncle ken. what happened with uncle ken? >> well, he's from yorkshire. >> jimmy: oh, they're the worst. with their pudding. >> but he -- yeah, he was kind of alarmed when he saw it. his last christmas, he looked me in the eye and was like emilia, you didn't tell me that you'd be naked for that long. >> jimmy: i guess in a way, you'd think maybe that was dad's responsibility, but then on the other hand, it's like am i really going to call my brother and give him this news? >> no, exactly. >> jimmy: so uncle ken was upset? >> uncle ken was slightly upset. >> jimmy: is he still watching the show? >> he is, i think so. >> jimmy: but kind of like this? >> yeah. it's when you tell him to go make a cup of tea. >> jimmy: does uncle ken have anything to worry about next season? >> there may be. there may be. if uncle ken is watching, there might be. i'll call him in advance. >> jimmy: what was really disturbing on the show is when you had to eat the horse heart. >> yes. >> jimmy: what was that you were e

ktvu's ken pritchett is live to explain why. ken? >> reporter: one reason they feel like they are targeted is because this transmitter is on private property. it is hard to get to. this happened last week and it may knock the station off the air for a month. >> reporter: it is the kind of place where they still spin records. the music is playing but not over the air. >> internet. since our recent vandalism. >> reporter: it was to this wooden shed. to get here you have to drive a bumpy dirt road. he took us on the drive to the mountain top. >> this is what they did the first time. >> reporter: two times since august they broke through this door. david put on an alarm so this time they found another way. >> they took a drill. >> then it appear this used a saw and went -- appears they used a saw and went through. once inside the mystery begins. they left behind valuable radio equipment but they took two devices that charge charge the badries -- that charge the batteries. he is not sure how they got up here but after three times he is co

that said, i agree with ken. this is a much larger issue that nobody's really willing to talk about. we can't raise taxes enough to compensate for what we need in our demographic situation entitlements. i also think it's really important to understand that not only have we seen investment decline and employment more consumer oriented and corporate orie oriented, the investment side not showing big gains. that shows delays in hiring and deferment by the cliff and i think it's real that the confidence we're at a fork in the road. we can either choose to enhance our role in the global economy by taking these situation and making responsible decisions or by deliberately slitting our own economic throats. we'll lose what little credibility we have left. >> john, you know, instilling confidence would be a big role for washington, but there isn't a great deal of confidence in washington. there's less in congress. at this point, are they sort of conscious of what could happen if they make the wrong decision or are they m

ken molestina is in columbia heights where the demonstrators are gathering. >> reporter: they gathered here attive lee park on 14th and park in columbia heights. the message following that massacre? sandy hook pretty simple. they want guns in the country to go away. also the group is protesting the nra's recent remarks calling for armed guards and police at every school in the nation. they hope this rally tonight will get the attention of lawmakers to restrict gun ownership in this country. the nra of course is the nation's largest gun lobby with extreme influence and deep pockets and although this peals in comparison the demonstrators hope to keep an already fiery debate going. >> opposition to the national rifle association's press conference yesterday we absolutely do not believe this is the solution to the problem which exists. and that we need to move forward. come up with serious plans to change this. >> reporter: yeah, these demonstrators received a police escort as i mentioned earlier. they marched down 14th vote holding a candle light vigil as they call it. they went down to t

. >> and i'm ken bastida. an east bay business is in ruins tonight after a fire so intense, even firefighters had to back off. that fire sent up a giant plume of black smoke. a viewer sent us these photos of the flames shooting through the roof of c&h enterprises in fremont. now, they were taken from a business just across the way on boggs terrace. cbs 5 reporter mark sayre is there, and the firefight is still going on. mark? >> reporter: and ken, investigators plan to return here in the morning to try to pinpoint the exact cause of this fire, which could be seen throughout fremont. tonight, the fire is still smoldering c&h enterprises building. fire officials say a grinding operation involving metal shavings was underway at the time the fire broke out. employees ran for safety. >> jay came running into the office. i could see the smoke billowing over the roof to the front, and he said, call 911, we have a fire! and it just started getting worse after that. >> did everyone get out? >> everyone got out and ever

good afternoon to both of you. >> good afternoon. >> ken, let me start with you. do you believe these negotiat n negotiations are at a stalemate or is this just some made for tv drama? >> i think it's made for tv drama and both sides are playing the clock and it's like, unfortunately, it's like a big nfl football game where serious football gets played in the last two minutes. and that's, that's unfortunate because i don't believe at the end of the day they're going to be able to avoid the framework of sampson bowles. a person that does not advocate we raise taxes when we have this economic sluggishness. but at the end of the day, i think the framework is going to be the package that both sides will settle on because it will not only slightly raise taxes on those making 250 or $500,000, but it will, it will have a ratio of spending cuts to tax increase. >> karen, president obama took his message on the campaign trail, if you will, friday. clearly a different strategy from last year's debt ceiling talks when he spent a lot of time behind closed doors trying to hamm

. >> i'm ken bastida. another pipe bomb found in the hills. the question on everyones minds, are there anymore out there? >> reporter: for the second time since friday, a bomb squad detonated an explosive device found near a school campus in pleasant hill. someone noticed the part-time bomb in the bushes outside pleasant hill elementary. >> it looked like it was lit, but did not go off. it didn't detonate. >> reporter: the discovery came three days after a group of five area teenagers were detained, accused of setting off a mailbox bomb on friday night and planning another at a nearby high school. the bomb squads had to detonate that one too and they found a third bomb in the car that the teens were driving. neighbors say they could hear the explosions for miles. >> i can't remember being in bed with that mere. if something blows up, it'll be the gunshots. >> reporter: it's unclear if this is the work of the same teen. >> we're looking into that. >> reporter: the teens claim the bombs they were arrested with were the only ones they had. but to

. >> so goodbye, ken? >> what you don't know is ken and i share this tiny little office that is about the size of a closet. we call it the dorm room. and we've had an office together -- >> none of those sculptures are in the office. >> and that wasn't ken that was my model. [ laughter ] >> it's going to be hard to carry on without you. >> are you reading that? [ laughter ] >> no. i don't k there will ever be a replacement for dana king. >> there will be. there's another woman out there. we've been together since 2001 as a team. >> we'll talk a little bit about that coming up on cbs 5 at 11:00. we want to go over your career a little bit because it's fascinating the amount of travel you did for the station and the places you went and the stories you gave us were really keynote stories of the day. and i remember specifically the way that we started working together, that was september 11th, 2001. the day that most americans will not forget. and that's the day that they kind of threw you and i together. we wo

hedge fund billionaire ken griffen of citadel bought 1.6 million shares in that stock. would you buy that stock? it actually had a really interesting day. it basically opened up and closed on the high. the thing i like most about this company---the one thing i don't like about this company---you would think when home sales are doing better, when consumer confidence is getting better than expected, people are starting to spend money, buy houses, construction sales are better than expected.this stock would be going from the bottom left to the top right. it's going the opposite way. it looks like its headed lower, however, short interest is 91 percent. i think i get on everytime we have short interest. last week we talked about green mountain coffee and if green mountain can get through 32. that could get to 40 so the shorts got roasted in green mountain. the shorts are getting roasted in zillow. it has a 52 week low of 21 dollars. two easy ways i would play it. if i wanted to play to the long side i would put a stop under friday's low which is 26 dollars. if i wanted to h

joining me from cleveland is ken trump. he's the president of the national school safety and security services. thank you for joining us again. we were in newtown together so it's good to see you. how are you doing? >> hanging in there, don. it's been tough, more so as a father than a school safety professional and i know we spent some time in newtown and, you know, the people's faces, they were shell shocked as i drove around town worked with you and soledad and others. it's just something that i'll never forget and a punch in the gut as a father. >> when i hear people who come up with some of these ridiculous proposals and who say we should, you know, be looking at other things besides the gun rules, i just wish they could see all the faces that we saw, the people we saw and what they were dealing with. maybe they may change their minds a little bit or there may be some more compromise. >> i have been in this business for over 25 years. i have had hundreds of e-mails and people with bulletproof vests for teachers and armi

but let's pay for the roads. >> ken, i see you nodding. do you think there are some things that rank higher than other things or should this be done as a portfolio, that there are a lot of things that need to be fixed? richard made a reference to the $2 trillion number to get our infrastructure on a national level up to a reliable point. >> well, i want to pick up first on this idea of pricing things and congestion pricing, which people just in the united states haven't accepted. so if it's a really busy road, you pay more to use that road. that used to be impossible. i mean, you couldn't put a tollbooth every two miles. now it's nothing. it's easy to achieve that. that would make a huge difference in making it more efficient. and i certainly agree strongly with richard that we emphasize the car way too much. we are past that. the cities are at the core of our development. they're probably at the core of our future for a long time. we need to improve public transport. you can't just stuff more and more cars into the cities, which we're try

ken? >> reporter: here's what they're saying. of course, this does involve a teen student here at laurel high school. he's a teen, a juvenile, so police are not releasing much information by way of his identity. they're doing a good job of keeping tight-lipped about that. however, here's what they do say. they say the allegations we're talking about are very real. students and the parents and staff here are breathing a sigh of relief after authorities believe could have been a tragic event at the school. >> wanted to harm people, possibly shoot and do some other harm to folks. there were some lists, diagrams, charts, things like that. so that really gave some credibility to the seriousness of this situation. >> reporter: city of laurel spokesman says the unidentified student was located by police on monday. he wasn't at school but shortly after police caught up with him, he was taken to a local hospital for psychiatric evaluations. as of late tuesday he was still in the custody of that hospital. he called this a classic case of s

and to continue to try to live your life, you know, in a positive manner. >> reporter: ken didn't know about the pardon until we called him today to ask about doing a story. the governor's office said they will notify the 79 who were pardoned in the next week or so. >>> we reached one of the former inmates paroled right here in the bay area. he had not heard the news yet. he said he was grateful to hear the news on christmas eve and looks forward to spending the evening with his family. >>> it may be christmas eve but the fiscal cliff is not far from the minds of lawmakers. the president and congress left washington on friday for the holidays with a promise to return later this week. there is only a week left to avoid tax hikes and spending cuts that will impact almost every american. tonight it appears democrat senate leader harry reid may take the lead in crafting a comp mice to prevent tax hikes on at least the middle class. the president was in hawaii for the funeral of senator daniel minoli. >>> one of the president's last acts before leaving washington caught some holiday travele
