i think he needs to listen to the bernie sanders and others in his own party. he's been speaking in a powerful way about jobs and when he decides the well to do and powerful were critical of him, we support principles, not politicians. but certainly he's been at republicans. but for the most part, the best thing to happen to the issue of poverty is tavis raised the issue, keith observe better man raise an issue, you raise an issue on your show, and the occupy movement making sure that we talk seriously about poverty, wealth, and equality. >> we have to wrap it up there. thank you very much for your time and the conversation. >>> 30 years later, the investigation into natalie wood's death is still ongoing. we're going to have the latest on that. >>> we are keeping a close eye on the white house there. you see president obama's just minutes away from making remarks. he's going to be talking about insourcing jobs, keeping jobs in this country rather than providing them overseas. this is all about his push to show voters that he is paying attention to the middle cl
