george w. bush. he'll be here in the situation room to discuss his new book. l lots of questions for carl rove here in the situation room. you can always follow twitter on what's behind the scenes in the situation room. i'm wolf blitzer in the situation room. up next, campbell brown. we are learning more about a woman from the philadelphia suburbs calling hers gihad jane, charged with encouraging terrorists on the internet. take a look. as colleen r. larose, 36-year-old from pennsylvania, is described as blond, green-eyed. >> an assistant attorney general demonstrates that terrorists are actively looking for americans to join their ranks. >> the justice department and other u.s. government agencies declined to comment on her target, but according to a government official familiar with the case, it was a swedish artist whose controversial cartoons of the prophet mohammad prompted the al-qaeda terror network to put a price on his head. the indictment says she agreed, saying, i will make this my goal until i achieve it or die trying. the indictment does not connect larose with any specific terror group, but a government source says she was in contact with committed jihadists in eastern europe and western europe. >> the use of terrorists in the united states, especially women, shatters any thought that we can spot a terrorist based on appearance. >> also today, irish authorities arrested seven people on murder plot charges. they were allegedly targeting the same cartoonist. now on to al-qaeda, where eric massa's resignation was read this afternoon. he spoke in his own defense but backed down from his story that the white house targeted him over his opposition to the health care reform bill. >> the notion that somehow we were involved in that, i think, is, as i said this morning, silly and ridiculous. on friday, he seemed to take some responsibility for his actions at a different event and we learned that the ethics committee was looking into his actions relating to sexual harassment. >> now they're saying i groped a male staffer. yeah, i did. not only did i grope him, i tickled him until he couldn't breathe and then they jumped me. it was my bir day. i'm telling you, i was wrong. >> and massa went on to say he should never have allowed himself to be so familiar with his staff. we're going to have more on the story in just a few moments. in california, a toyota prius that sped out of control on a freeway, reaching speeds of 90 miles an hour is at a toyota dealership tonight. inspectors from the government and the company are trying to find out what caused this latest case of sudden acceleration. a stuck gas pedal or maybe something else? >> it was an odd sensation. i felt it in my foot. i pushed the pedal and it just kind of felt like it just moved on its own. >> california highway patrol officer todd neibert was able to pull alongside. through his loudspeaker he relayed instructions. put pressure on the brake, use the emergency brake, try to shut the car off. the toyota prius slows to 50 miles an hour on a steep upgrade. sikes slows the engine and coasts to safety. >> toyota is sending two inspectors here to look at the prius and after that they say they'll do their own investigation. >> what happened to this car could take weeks, but damage to their reputation may already be done. >> i won't drive that car again, period. >> people have filed class action lawsuits that may cost the company $300 billion. the man who caused the david letterman sex scandal is going to jail. he pleaded guilty today for attempted grand larceny for a shakedown plot that led to letterman's on-air confession to affairs with female staffers. >> john halderman struck a deal. he was sentenced to six years in jail, five years probation and 60 hours of community service. >> halderman wanted $2 million for what he claimed was a screenplay about a popular late-night talk show host who slept with women on his staff. >> again, i apologize to mr. letterman, his family, stephanie best of your recollecti burkett and her family, and certainly my family. >> halderman was furious after learning letterman had an affair with his girlfriend. >> he will be sentenced to six months in jail, and with good behavior, that may be limited to four months for good behavior. members of michael jackson's inner circle are speaking out for the first time since his death. three of his bodyguards went on nbc good morning today. surprised just how normal they made jackson sound. >> was he a good dad? >> awesome. the kids would constantly tell him, i love you, daddy. >> though he was cheered of molestation charges in 2003, a shadow of speculation remained. >> was he a pedophile? >> not at all. >> being a father myself, men know men. he had desires like we do. >> in fact, they said he had at least two girlfriends, disspelling that other rumor. >> we had a curtain that covered the backseat. you couldn't see in the backseat. they talked back there and, you know. sdplz so he's making out in the backseat? >> or chewing loud gum. >> but perhaps the biggest mystery about michael jackson is the one he took to his grave. how and why he died. >> it appeared a few times he was on something. we knew something was not right at the moment. >> jackson's bodyguards addressed another rumor, insist that go the bandages he frequently wore in public were not con sealing plastic surgery. according to the bodyguards, that was just a disguise. and now it's time for the punchline. tonight that comes courtesy of jimmy fallon who has figured out the administration's thinking about the space program. >> president obama is going to hold a major space conference to unveil an ambitious new plan for nasa. obama called it one small step for man, one giant distraction for health care, two wars and the recession. >> jimmy fallon. and that is the mash-up. tonight, coming up, you're going to hear from eric massa, the democrat who just quit congress and seems to be burning just about every bridge in his own party. we'll also tell you about the new allegations against him tonight when we come back. host: could switching to geico really save you 15% or more on car insurance? host: is ed "too tall" jones too tall? host: could switching to geico 15% or more on car insurance? host: does a ten-pound bag of flour make a really big biscuit? aren't absorbed properly unless taken with food. he recommended citracal. it's different -- it's calcium citrate, so it can be absorbed with or without food. also available in small, easy-to-swallow petites. citracal. always well made always well designed now with extraordinary savings come in to save or log on now ethan allen. extraordinary savings. limited time ethan allen redefines traditional with modern comfort and timeless design the new traditional at ethan allen now with extraordinary savings come in to save or log on now. the one time of year red lobster creates so many irresistible ways to treat yourself to lobster. like our new wood-grilled lobster and shrimp with parmesan scampi... our succulent lobster lover's dream, with both sweet maine and buttery rock lobster tails... and eleven more choices, each served with a salad and our freshly-baked cheddar bay biscuits. come celebrate lobsterfest. right now at red lobster. >> it is a problem that he said was a recurrence of cancer. on thursday, he said he wasn't running because -- not because of cancer but because of his use of salty language. on friday he seemed to take some responsibility for his actions at a different event, and we learned that the ethics committee was looking into his actions relating to sexual harassment. so i don't know why i would give any weight to what he said on the fourth day any more than i would on the previous three days. >> massa talked about his resignation and the ethics probe a short time ago with glen beck of fox news. >> i wasn't forced out, i forced myself out. i failed. i didn't live up to my own co s codes. i take full responsibility for my misbehavior. i did things wrong. i should not have allowed myself to get that familiar with my staff. >> cnn political senior analyst gloria borger. gloria, bring us up to date. i know there are reports nasa faces harassment charges going back a year. what do we know about these allegations? >> the washington post has a story this evening, campbell, citing three sources, saying there were multiple allegations, that the congressman groped male staffers, as you say, a pattern that went back at least a year and the post calls it a, quote, pattern of behavior and physical harassment. of course, campbell, that would seriously conflict with his notion that he was just using some salty language that he shouldn't have used with male staffers. so there seems to be more unraveling here for the congressman. >> and mark, tonight he's saying -- you were sitting in the chair last night, i think, when he was saying he was forced out. tonight he's saying he was not forced out. what's going on on that front with regard to the health care debate? >> he would not win a gold medal in consistency. i think his 15 minutes of fame are nearing an end. the fact he's left congress a, e ethics committee cannot get him, so he's gotten out before this spir spiralled out of control. there is a lot of funny things here. any time you use the word senator and tickled in the same sentence, you got a problem. >> gloria, this guy was a hero for a day for some conservatives. the poster boy for white house arm twisting on health care. glen beck promoted that interview by saying all americans need to hear him. is he radioactive at this point? >> yeah, i think he's a little bit radioactive, and i should point out to you this evening some white house sources told our own ed henry that the store about rahm emanuel approaching him without a towel at the house gym to yell at him because he wasn't helping them with the budget or health care reform, those are denied. the republicans embraced him, of course, and then you have these new allegations that are coming out, depriving themselves of the opportunity to say, oh, my gosh, he's just another house democrat with no ethics. they're getting ready to put these ads up on television, decrying democratic ethics. and so, unfortunately, because some republicans have embraced him, he can't be one of their poster children. >> they didn't play that incredibly well, did they? >> they jumped at it. that's the nature of our policy today. it seemed like a good opportunity for them. rush limbaugh had the sense to cut him loose by midday before the glen beck interview. i think at this point if you're in the massa fan club, you've got to play this one out. >> how frustrated is the white house to both of you, generally, just by the fact this is a massive distraction in the middle of what should be their effort to close this thing? >> i don't think it's distracting them from lobbying up individual members who haven't resigned from congress ournd t under the cloud of scandal. again, they need one less vote. i think eric massa got to flex his political muscles today, and if we're still talking about mr. massa going forward, it won't be at this velocity. >> gloria, you've been working the phones all day. do the math for us. do democrats at this stage have the votes they need? where do things stand? >> publicly they say they're not counting but they're counting, campbell. i was told today by one white house source that they're about seven or eight votes shy in the house, and what they're doing is they're bringing members in, they're targeting them and they're saying, look, we will bring the full faith and credit of the obama white house, the national committee and anyone else behind you if you think this will be a tough vote for you for reelection. their big problem, campbell, quite honestly is not that they don't trust the white house, it's that they don't trust the senate democrats. house democrats say, okay, we're going to go out on this limb and what if the senate democrats don't do what they say they're going to do and change the bill in the way we want them to change it? so there is a little bit of a family feud going on here. >> all right. well, we will continue watching. gloria borger, mark, thank you. appreciate it. you should stick around because former member eric massa will have more to say in the prime time interview on "larry king live." that's coming up at the top of the hour. we also have an interview with the woman who calls herself jihad jane. she recruited men and women for the holy war. we have more coming up on the investigation. n a single tank and epa-estimated 41 mpg city and all the words stick because they're true. we speak the most fuel-efficient midsize sedan in america. yes, we speak car, and apparently quite well. fusion is now motor trend's 2010 car of the year. get in...and drive one. ♪ >> she recruited women with pass ports to help make it happen. cnn correspondent is on top of this developing story. also with me now senior national security correspondent peter be bergman. just bring us up to speed on this investigation. what else have you learned about this woman? >> she's 46 years old, recently from pennsylvania. she's described by a law enforcement official as blond, green-eyed and controversial to islam. they also say she is a terrorist. the government says she raised money and recruited both men and women for jihad on the internet, also that she had orders to kill a swedish citizen, an assignment which according to the indictment she embraced, saying, i will make this my goal until i achieve it or die trying. the government says she traveled to europe to train and kill her quarry saying only death will stop me here that i am so close to the target. she was arrested back here in the u.s. in pennsylvania on october 15 but has been held quietly because of an ongoing investigation. her lawyer had no comment, campbell. >> jean, you mentioned that that indictment specifically talked about this order to kill a swedish citizen, and today you had seven people in ireland arrested in a plot to kill a swedish cartoonist. any connection there? is that something they're looking at? >> the indictment certainly doesn't spell it out and the department of justice won't comment but an official familiar with the case says yes, they are connected, and her target was the swedish cartoonist. back in 2007, he made some car too to a to ans with the head of mohammad and the body of a dog. they took offense to that, so vilkes apparently the target here. >> peter, let me bring you in here. this is obviously another disturbing example of the evolving face of terrorism. what do you make of this increasingly prominent role that women now play in the jihadist movement? >> this is the first case i can think of of an american woman who has converted to islam who really got involved in the jihadi cause or allegedly so. we've had european catholic converts with a woman who conducted a suicide attack in iraq in 2005 against an american convoy, but it's pretty unusual. the women that we've seen attracted to al-qaeda's cause tend to come from pakistani american backgrounds. they haven't been converts as this woman has. another thing that leaps out here, campbell, is this is the second case of an american citizen planning to kill a cartoonist involved in these mohammad cartoons. you may recall a chicago citizen by the name of david headley cased the danish newspaper where a cartoonist prophet had made can to ans found offensive and he actually went to new york to scope out this cartoonist. we have two americans, and we used to be concerned about americans in the united states of jihad coming to the united states. here you have americans who are allegedly trying to export the jihad overseas. >> we have to end it there. peter bergman, we appreciate it. when we come back, the new face of marijuana. a mother and son in the business selling pot, making big bucks, and it's all legal. we'll have that story coming back. you're the colon lady! diarrhea, constipation, gas, bloating. that's me! can i tell you what a difference phillips' colon health has made? it's the probiotics. the good bacteria. that gets your colon back in balance. i'm good to go! phillips' colon health. you can label as "different." like janice. uh-huh. yeah. fashion deficient. and tom... copy incapable. it's open kimono time. looking good, dan. oh, we want to make sure all our ducks in a row. yeah. volume control syndrome. but we focus on the talent and skill that each person... brings to the team. i mean, no one's really concerned about labels. not even mine. labels get in the way. disabilities rarely do. visit thinkbeyondthelabel.com to evolve your work force. this year 14 states will consider legalizing medical marijuana. that's on top of 14 states where it is already legal. tonight our cnn special investigation focuses on colorado where a mother and son have started a pot business that is legal and it is booming. here is jim spellman. >> i wish you could smell this through the camera. >> reporter: this is the new face of marijuana in colorado. >> i love marijuana. >> reporter: his name is jason erwin. he's 27 years old and he grows and sells medical marijuana. and this is his business partner, diane erwin, also known as jason's mom. >> i believe marijuana can change the whole world, too. >> together the erwins run a booming business in denver. a medical marijuana dispensery called highland health. he grows the weed, she helps sell it, all in full compliance of the law. >> i just raised jason to be an independent free thinker. >> i think you succeeded. >> i think so. i am very proud of my son. >> it wasn't always that way. when jason was in high school, the erwins had a more traditional mother/son relationship. >> she would, like, confiscate the pot, flush it down the toilet. >> reporter: that was only the beginning. jason soon became an old-fashioned drug dealer. >> dunid you know that jason wa illegally selling marijuana? >> uh-huh. my son and i are very close. there's not much we don't share about our lives and he knew how i felt about it. >> how did you feel about it? >> i was constantly in fear for him. >> reporter: but in 2008, jason went legit, opening his own dispensery to sell to clients who had medical needs. >> it's different than it used to be. we have basically just taken the market from the street. >> reporter: he was on the right side of the law but walking a very fine line. listen to him describe the supply side of the equation. >> you get, like, a dude comes down from the mountains or wherever and slaps a duffel bag on your desk full of weed and says, here, take what you want. >> jason decided to take control and he knew the perfect person to help. >> he called me on the phone and said, mom, i think we should buy this land and how do you feel about growing medical marijuana? i said, okay. it was just a faith thing. >> reporter: diane sold the beauty salon she had been running for 17 years and went into business with her son. the erwins set up a small farm where they grow pot in two greenhouses. they also have several growing operations in residential bam basements around denver. they sell it to highland health for people who have doctor's recommendations around the state. >> i think there is a ster stereotypical thing about people using marijuana, but there are a lot of mes out there. >> reporter: yes, diane smokes pot with her son. sometimes even daily. >> it's part of my daily lifestyle. i really enjoy it. >> what's it like when you guys smoke pot together? >> my mom is so funny. it's like a light switches on. >> they say marijuana helps them deal with pain and depression. they have become advocates of what they call the cause of legalizing pot. >> there are so many people afraid to talk about it, and if it's in the closet, you can't really get anywhere with it, you know? you've got to put it on the table. i think it should be a dinner table conversation. >> i felt really good about coming out of the closet, the illegal cannabis closet. i feel like we've set a good model and we're working really hard to continue setting that example. >> reporter: but it's not that simple. while selling medical marijuana in a dispensery is legal, growing it on a farm or in a basement, that's a more murky legal area. >> if i get worried, i call jason. instantly, i'm like, jason, i don't know about this, and he'll be like, mom, it will be fine. don't worry about it. and i'm like, okay. >> reporter: but jason himself knows he's walking a fine line. one false move and his family business could go up in smoke. jim spellman, cnn, denver, colorado. >> and jason irwin may be one step ahead of the law for now. tomorrow we're going to hear from lawmakers who are trying to put guys like him out of business. >> let's return to the system we had for eight years that was not problematic, we didn't have is a dispensery on every street corner. >> that's like a shade above the black market. it's still not available to the masses. you still have to be like, hey, where do you get this marijuana? do you know someone? >> still ahead, the battle to tax soda pop. can raising soft drink prices really save our schools? that coming up right after the break. tonight a quick fix for state budget problems. it's a new syntax designed to save schools, fund education, and it's soda pop. this has surfaced in 12 states, including pennsylvania. the mayor supports the increase and he has proposed bun himself. mayor, i know you want to slap a $2.88 tax on a six-pack of soda. walk us through it. what do you think that's going to accomplish? >> campbell, thanks for the opportunity. this really comes from our health department, dr. don schwartz, our health commissioner, who has been talking with me about the issue of sugar-sweetened beverages, whether that's soda, non-100% juices, sports drinks, energy drinks, all that. they're very heavily laden with sugar, and that leads to a direct connection with obesity. obesity is a serious public health issue in philadelphia. 57% of our children are overweight or obese. 64% of our adults the same. and, of course, we know that obesity can lead to cancer, type ii diabetes, stroke, coronary artery disease and many, many others. so it's a very serious health care issue here. we're looking to create a fund, some dollars, to support healthy initiatives, help people with making healthier choices, proposal alternatives to many of the sugar-sweetened beverages. this is not an anti-soda thing. i don't expect that all philadelph philadelphians are suddenly going to stop drinking sodas, but just taking a few of thecm out of the diet, of drinking water and juice, will help people not only reduce their worthless calorie intake from so he had as but also help them reduce their weight and deal with the obesity problem here in the city. >> let me run past what your former predecessor said, former mayor john street. his quote was, i don't know how you can put a 70% tax on a two-litre bottle of coke. it's the poor people who will pay the sugar tax and i think that's very problematic. how do you respond with that? >> that's very interesting. mayor street, when he was mayor, was known for his initiatives on health, and the fact of the matter is that obesity is more heavily taken up in poor communities all around philadelphia. upwards of 70% of children in north philadelphia, african-americans and latino children, 70% of those children are overweight or obese. so i think that it is inappropriate to just lay this at the feet of the poor as somehow inappropriate. quite frankly, many poor communities in philadelphia need this kind of help and support, which is what public service is about. >> mayor nutter, i appreciate your time on this. i hoped to have a debate on this but i knew you wouldn't appear with our next guest, so i'm going to let him come on and give his side of the story. unfortunately, you won't get a chance to respond, but let me bring in right now state senator golden who is the state senator, morton golden, excuse me, who is the proponent of this. you just heard from the mayor who says the benefits of a soda tax outweigh the disadvantages, obesity obviously being a real problem in this country. is it worth a try? >> honestly, it's a tax. and he can, and other states and cities in this country, can call it anything they want. it is a fat tax, an obesity tax. in our state we're calling it a beverage syrup excise tax, which is a penny an ounce. so a 12-ounce can of soda, 20 cents. a two-litre bottle, 67 cents. that's it. it's a tax. there is no other word for it. you know why they're doing it? they're doing it because there's nothing left to tax. they taxed everything in this state that's possible to tax except the air you breathe. so now we're going to tax the soda, and, you know, when you think about it, you're taxing soda, you're taxing a symptom. it's not the disease. what about the cake, the ice cream, the candy, the hamburgers, the milk shakes? it's just the beginning. >> let me get back a little bit on this point, because a budget analyst from new york, from your state, said obesity-related problems cost new york taxpayers $7.6 billion a year. if that's true, couldn't a soda tax save money by keeping people healthier? >> no. and i'll tell you what. if it was -- because it covers -- just taking sodas and putting taxes on sodas, again, is just treating a symptom. what you got to do is you got to have education in our schools. there are no gyms in our schools or exercise programs in our schools. my 11, 12-year-old kid was heavy in grammar school. you know what i did? i took him and put him on teams, sports teams. i took him to the gym. my kid is 18 today and he's solid from head to toe. the kid knows how to do exercise, knows how to eat because i trained him personal responsibility. i trained with him, i worked with him. he's one of my best friends and that's how you work with it to get that done. >> do you have a problem with higher taxes on cigarettes? where do you draw the line? don't you have to draw the line somewhere? >> i agree with you. there are lines where -- like cigarettes, and even when you put taxes on cigarettes, when you really think about it, where are they going? we used to sell 90 million cartons of cigarettes in 2002. we sold 40 million cartons of cigarettes last year. does anybody really think they stopped selling 50 million cartons of cigarettes in new york state? no, they went underground and they're buying them in other locations. do you know this last week there was at a sam's in new jersey a grocer who was loading up his cart, and in the cart were hundreds of cases of beer and soda, and he was taking that from new jersey to new york to sell it in new york. we're losing hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars each year because people are going over the border into other states to purchase this. >> all right. >> we have to have personal responsibilities. >> state senator martin goldman from new york. i appreciate your time tonight. thank you very much. and, again, you heard mayor nutter from philadelphia just a few moments ago. when we come back, another prius apparently racing out of control, 90 miles per hour, no way to stop it. coming up, the frantic 911 call associated with this when we come back. , including congestion, without drowsiness. get claritin-d at the pharmacy counter. live claritin clear. ♪ ♪ until you mail it back. ♪ yeah, we need participation ♪ for better schools and hospitals. ♪ ♪ the census, the tool, to make it all possible.♪ ♪ we can't move forward, ♪ until you mail it back. ♪ coming up, a toyota nightmare. a california man's prius simply would not stop racing over 90 miles an hour. we have the 911 tape. but first, mike galanos. >> president obama's administration did something they didn't plan on doing, and that is condemning israel. they slammed the idea of building new residents in east jerusalem. the first lady donated the inaugural dress to the smithsonian national museum of american history. it will become part of a special exhibit that includes inaugural gowns worn by jackie kennedy, eleanor roosevelt and taft's wife. lindsay lohan is suing e-trade for $1 million. she's suing for pain and suffering and demanding that e-trade stop running the ads of the one of the complaint she's bringing to the table is that her name has single name recognition like cher or madonna. >> really? i don't know if i buy that. i never made the connection until she sued. mike, thanks. "larry king live" starting in just a few minutes. larry, what do you have for us tonight? >> it is a great commercial. great commercial. we've got a prime time exclusive with former congressman eric massa. he's made some controversial remarks about why he resigned. today he admitted to some inappropriate behavior. he'll be answering my questions and we'll take yours, too. we'll also talk with jessica biel and her sh that took them from the top of the "a" list to the top of kilimanjaro. coming up, another wild ride in a toyota prius. the driver shares his 90-mile-an-hour horror story, after this. ♪ [ male announcer ] the cadillac cts sports sedan. one of car and driver's 10 best for the third year in a row. ♪ and now, for qualified current lessees, cadillac announces the new luxury collection lease. lindsey vonn takes the lead! earlier, she was suffering from an all-over, achy cold. she stays tough. how does she do it?

>> yes. >> this is 911. d do you have an emergency? >> my car can't slow down. >> you can't slow it down? >> no. >> what kind of car are you in? i heard toyota. what color is it? >> blue. >> what kind of toyota? what kind of toyota? >> prius. >> a prius? >> yeah. >> what's wrong, is your accelerator stuck? >> yeah. yeah. >> i was actually going around cars and came close to hitting one semi truck, and i was speeding up faster at that time. i was in the 8 0s somewhere. i kept hitting the brakes, hitting the brakes, and it wasn't slowing down at all, it just kept accelerating. >> what was the sensation like? >> it was an odd sensation i felt in my foot. i pushed the pedal and it just kind of felt like it moved on its own. that's the only way i can describe it. it moved on its own and took over. it was pushing harder than i was. >> i'm trying to control the car. >> okay. have you tried to put the car in neutral? >> no. >> can you try that? >> you didn't try to put it into neutral? >> no. i was afraid to hit it into neutral. i was holding onto the steering wheel with both hands. 90 miles an hour in a toyota prius is fast. >> why didn't you try to turn the car off earlier? >> because it wasn't safe. those are very windy roads, and i didn't know if i hit the button if the steering wheel would look ck or the wheels on car would lock. >> is there any doubt in your mind that the floormats had nothing to do with what happened? >> the floormat had nothing to do with yesterday's incident, period. i won't drive that car again. i don't have any problem with toyota, but i won't drive the prius. there is obviously a problem that needs to be corrected. >> and campbell, the toyota is at this dealership behind me in san diego. toyota sent a statement saying they're sending a technician to look at this car and help out in any way. the u.s. government is also sending some inspectors from the department of transportation to not only look at the car but talk to this guy to see exactly what happened. >> all right, ted rowlands for us tonight. what can you do if something like this happens to you? joining me right now is ben sherwood who is the author of "the survivors' club" who hasn't written about this specifically, but how to survive other sort of disasters as well. we just heard in that piece james sikes said he tried several times to slam on the brakes. i think that would be most people's reaction, but you say that's not what you should do, right? >> consumer reports have looked atd this in track tests, campbell, and they said that pumping the brakes can actually cause more problems. the key is to push hard on the brake steadily and try to slow it down. you have to push really hard, and as that 911 operator suggested, switch into neutral and guide the car safely to the side of the road. you're going to hear the engine rev really loudly, but most cars have a rev limiter, meaning it won't cause damage to the car. it will make a lot of noise, but you want to pull over to the side of the road even though that engine is gunning. that's where you're going to be safe. >> well, sikes also said he stepped on the brake, this is his quote, very hard right as it accelerated out of control. does the amount of pressure matter here, or can it happen when you're just kind of driving along normally, too? >> what i take from this story, and obviously toyota is dealing with a major problem, but these sudden accelerations can happen for a variety of reasons in a lot of different cars. so even though you don't drive a toyota, it's important to know that if your car suddenly accelerates like that, the first thing you got to do is practice deliberate calm, knowing if you panic, it could cause a much more difficult situation. second, no matter the cause of the sudden acceleration, you want to brake hard and put the car into neutral. as someone pointed out, turning the car off, which is an instinct that some people might have, can actually cause more problems because you could lose power steering which would make it very hard to navigate in traffic. >> god, this stuff is so important to know, and you hope that these experiences are going to end soon and toyota is going to be able to figure this problem out. ben sherwood joining us tonight. again, the author of "survivors' club." ben, appreciate it. thank you. >> you got it, campbell.
