tape asks? bashar she says. she's in the remains of a living room judging by the cushions on the floor. the girl is obviously too young to understand what is happening, but she knows enough to say the name. she's been told who's responsible. bashar al assad. two weeks ago, after ordering and overseeing a year-long campaign repression, followed by outright carnage, he promised the u.n. to stop. the final deadline tomorrow morning. back when he agreed to that troop pullout proposal on march 27th, he toured the streets of homs. we're showing you two videos side by side. one his photo op that day, the dictator. the other the bombardment in the hours before he arrived in homs and after he left and almost every day since then. that day when the dictator of syria was smiling for the cameras, 57 people died. today in homs and across syria tanks rolled, shells exploded, snipers fired, and at least 145 people died. in other words, the slaughter goes on. more than 700 have been killed since assad announced a cease fire on april 2nd. nearly 1100 since he agreed to that u.n. proposal just two weeks ago. this is video claiming to show victims of a mass execution in homs. according to the opposition one neighborhood there has seen eight straight days of heavy bombardment. parts of the city still being blown to pieces, burned to the ground. in some neighborhoods, troops have been looting, randomly killing civilians on the streets, even blowing up an ambulance. as always, we can't independently verify the video, because independent journalists are kept out of the country and sometimes killed if they manage to sneak in. there's more reason to believe that what you see is real and not what the regime says. a new report titled "in cold blood." the money quote, quote syrian security forces have executed scores and possibly hundreds of civilians and opposition fighters during their intensified offensive on cities and towns since december 2011. there's video which we're not showing of government troops claiming a human trophy, mounting a man's body on the front of their tank. by now you've seen the mangled bodies of tortured kids shoved in car trunks. they promised it would stop, so far it hasn't. the regime has been ramping up violence in advance of the deadline. over the weekend, the regime demanded new concessions from forces. tonight on "john king u.s.a." >> let me ask you, kofi annan and the u.n. officials have been played. assad has simply used his diplomacy as a could beer to kill more people. >> i don't think it's a question of the united nations or annan being played. i think the security counsel and annan have been very clear about the syrian government, its moat irs and its behavior to date. the question,whether there's still the opportunity however slim for there to be a diplomatic resolution to this year-long conflict. >> joining us now robert baer and anne marie slaughter. bob, do you think the u.n. has been played? >> i think bashar al assad has bought time. he knows what he's doing. his intention is the same as it's always been, and that's destroy the opposition. he intends to wipe them out, he doesn't negotiate. he doesn't care what the u.n. wants. yes, the u.n.'s been played. >> is there any reason the u.n. to believe what bashar al assad says about doing a cease fire? >> anderson, i agree with bob. i don't think he's going to stop. i don't think there's any reason any of us should expect him to stop tomorrow. he has broken one promise after another. he will say whatever it takes to give him more chance to keep going. >> you say kofi annan can be there every other day and it won't make a difference. >> not at all. i mean, this regime, we have to go back and look at what they're fighting for. they're fighting for their survival. i talked to someone in the regime not long ago, and they figure about 30% of the people support bashar al assad. not because they support him, because they're afraid of what the opposition's going to do. he told me they will hold on until the bitter end until one side is completely won. >> and anne marie, is there a time to resolve this diplomatically? >> i think actually the u.s. government and other allies have been right to give it every possible chance for diplomatic resolution. i do think that time is at an end. i think kofi annan did what he could do. he got people on board. but that's not going do solve things. either we're going to have to say we more or less accept what we have now where assad is going to keep killing or we not only keep tightening sanctions, but we start moving toward a real possibility of military action. >> and bob, what would that look like? military action. we're not talking about u.s. boots on the ground certainly. john mccain has talked about international air strikes. there's also, i guess, arming opposition. what do you see as options? >> well, i think first of all it's key what anne marie was saying. we're moving to a worse situation as we speak. unless there's a miracle that occurs tonight or tomorrow, we're going to see this violence spread. we're going to see it spread more into lebanon. there was a killing in lebanon. there's been killings in turkey. a shooting across the border. once this thing starts to spread beyond syria's borders, i think it's inevitable we're going to have to use air assets to destroy his armor and take his air assets out of the air. >> anne marie, you agree with that? >> i do. we're in agreement tonight. but i think there was a shooting across the border into turkey today. the syrian army was chasing free syrian army rebels and shot into turkey. killed a turkish policeman. this is going to spread into turkey, lebanon, possibly into jordan. and i don't think we're going to have a choice. i think there's going to have to be a military move. i still think in conjunction with safe zones that will effectively stop this now or have this spread into a regional conflict. >> so what would that -- i mean, what would that look like, anne marie? in terms of air strikes to stop armor and movement of syrian forces. would there then also have to be arming of opposition forces? >> well, arming of opposition forces is going on now. there are the cutries, the saudis have acknowledged that's what they're doing. the united states is providing kmupgss and intelligence equipment to allow the free syrian army to at least track the moves of the syrian army. but i think what would have to happen is not a libya-style intervention, but actually the declaration of a safe zone at least on the turkish border. the turks have been talking about doing this for six months. and then what you do is create a no fly zone, a no drive zone enforced by air support, both from the region and probably from nato. >> bob, you at one point talked about a kill zone as well. >> yeah. >> well, that's a little bit -- you know -- look. sending tanks to kill your own people is just going to make the situation worse. and early on, i realize politically we couldn't do it. but keeping those tanks out of the city is very important. because bashar al assad intends to, as i said, destroy these people and destroy these cities. it's just like his father in 1982. and it's made the situation worse. and i think we're coming close to having to do something about it. >> anne marie slaughter, appreciate your time tonight. robert baer as well. thank you. let us know what you think. we're on facebook, google plus. follow me on twitte twitter @andersoncooper. we'll be talking about this. big decision about how to conduct the investigation in the trayvon martin case. and george zimmerman is speaking out. we're hearing directly from him. you may be surprised what he's asking for. you may not be. we'll tell you in just a moment. ♪ ♪ and the flowers and the trees all laugh when you walk by ♪ ♪ and the neighbors' kids... what does being true to yourself have to do with being healthy?

and what do you make of the decision not to have the grand jury now? >> well, anderson, we've always believed that convening a grand jury was passing the buck. we thought from day one as we've always believed there was enough evidence there to simply arrest george zimmerman. we were not asking that he be convicted, but a simple arrest. and over the last 42 days, as evidence has unfolded, we think there is a plethora of evidence to simply affect probable cause to arrest george zimmerman. he can argue whatever legal claims he wants. but an arrest. the parents are only asking for simple justice. nothing more, nothing less. if that was your child or anybody's child in this world, they would want the person who killed their unarmed teenager to be arrested. >> when we talked a couple of weeks ago, i think maybe two weeks ago now. you said you didn't have confidence that he would be arrested. are you confident now he will be arrested? or what's your read on this now? >> well, i felt if it would have went to a grand jury, that caused us a lot of concern. anderson, we as the lead attorney for the family we're extensions of our clients in a lot of ways. they have a lot of faith. and they're trying to have patience. and they are wanting to believe in the system that it's going to do right by them. and so they are wanting to believe that an arrest is going to be made. in talking with the special prosecutor, they say they're doing a thorough job of the investigation. we're believing them. sybrina and tracy are trying to believe -- or follow their heart and the system. >> we heard from zimmerman on the website that we verified is an official website of george zimmerman. he's basically asking for donations saying he's going to quote, insure any funds are for living expenses and legal defense, in lieu of my forced inability to maintain employment. there's an american flag in the background. what are your thoughts on the website and what he has to say on it? >> well, i say this, anderson. if the situation was reversed, trayvon martin would have been arrested day one, hour one. george zimmerman has been free for 42 days and i think very simply put, we believe he should have been arrested and put into jail. and then if he bonded out, he could do whatever he wanted to do. but this situation with this website now and everything is a luxury that trayvon martin doesn't have and we believe he never would have had. and it's one of those things that his parents want george zimmerman to have his day in court. they are good people. and they want everything to be fair. but in being fair, they think that george zimmerman, the killer of their son, should be arrested just as if it was reversed, mr. cooper. >> two sources told wftb today they think george zimmerman will be arrested this week. have you been given any indication to back that up? >> well, miss corey has said that her and her staff are doing a thorough investigation. we look at her not impanelling the grand jury as a positive thing. that means she either feels she's going to have enough evidence gathered from her investigation to effectuate probable cause to arrest the killer of this unarmed teen, trayvon martin. who if you -- it's just the whole world is saying trayvon was unarmed. zimmerman was the person who pursued him from all objective evidence. don't take my word for it. it's what you see in that video and what you hear on those 911 tapes, and the phone log records of his girlfriend. it connects the dots, anderson. there's more than enough evidence to just arrest him. >> mr. crump, i appreciate your time. want to bring in our legal team tonight. criminal defense attorney mark geragos and senior legal analyst jeffrey toobin. jeffrey, why would they decide not to go forward with the grand jury? >> there are two ways you can go. basically the prosecutor bringing charges. that's the way it works most of the time in florida. or you can go to a grand jury which is used only for especially complex cases. i think the prosecutor deserves a lot of credit. in these high-profile cases the prosecutors get in trouble when they try to do something special. this is the routine way to go. this puts all the pressure on her. she can't pass the buck to a grand jury. it's all on her. this is the responsible decision she made. >> mark, how much does public pressure play in a case like this? how much effect does it have on a prosecutor? >> i think it always has an effect on a prosecutor. i couldn't agree more with mr. crump and jeff in two ways. part of the decision not to go to a grand jury. normally when you go to the grand jury, anything the prosecutor asks for, they get. in this case this would be the one exception where you have seen, i think, the split in public opinion and generally the people in a grand jury are more conservative and less of color. i think there was always the possibility that if she went to a grand jury, they would have returned no bill. which is like lightning striking. and here i think jeff's right. she's taken responsibility for it. ultimately i think this increases the odds dramatically that zimmerman is going to get arrested. >> jeff -- i'm sorry. you think it is increasing the odds he's going to get arrested? >> yeah. i think when she says we're not going to the grand jury which is the usual thing. normally in florida just like in california, in the state court system, they rarely use the grand jury. i think that going to the grand jury in this case could have been a real problem. you could have had a grand jury that would have rejected and returned a no bill. i think here, this is a pretty good sign, also combined with the statement that's attributed to her, that an arrest is imminent. >> i've been reading some comments on twitter about this case tonight. after i tweeted some stuff. and people are saying look, it's outrageous that zimmerman would be asking for money. and this is the first we've heard of him. anybody who's involved in a legal battle like this is going to be counseled. do not make public statements, do not make public interviews. >> i can't say i blame him for putting up this website. especially because there are people trying to claim money in his name. what he writes is very bland. he's not making statements that can be used against him. there's something distasteful. we all know he caused the death of trayvon martin. whether it was a crime or not is obviously what we're talking about. but he is incurring enormous legal fees. i'm just -- >> not going to be able to work. who's going to hire him. >> right. >> mark, if a client you were defending came to you and said they wanted to start a website like this, what would you tell them to do? >> i'd say, let's talk to my tech guy, get it up immediately. i've done it. far be it for -- i think there's an irony here. people say let the free market work. if he can't afford to pay lawyers, they're going to have a public defender. i've got a client right now with a website up. and frankly, it saves the taxpayers money. i don't see anything wrong with it. scooter libby, who had industry resources at his disposal used a website himself. >> i admire your restraint for not saying your client's name. >> i was going to say it, but i thought it was a shameless plug. >> it's fascinating. you think an arrest is likely. jeff? >> i actually would not draw that conclusion. i think this doesn't make it more or less likely. this is just the normal course. you know, this prosecutor has access to evidence we don't have. >> we should point out for the record there is a lot we do not know. >> exactly. the key evidence in this case is what happened after he called 911 and when the shots were fired. we don't know if there are eyewitnesses to that. she has access to knocking on every door. forensic reports. we don't know that. i don't feel comfortable making a prediction in the absence of having all that important evidence. >> see, i don't have any problem making that prediction. the reason for it is that if they wanted to reject this case, and the passing the buck thing to do is to go in front of a grand jury and you know what the grand jury is going to go and you lay it off on them and let them reject it. i think to some degree it's easier this way to not be exposed to that. >> there's no question that grand juries have been used that way by prosecutors in the past as a way disposing of cases. but i don't think that's happening here. >> thanks. always good to have you on. political battles heating up over which party is more in touch with americans' economic pain. in the meantime, the gingrich campaign is signalling for the first time publicly that it really sees the writing on the wall. james carville joins us ahead in just a moment. zap. it's our fastest and easiest way to get you into your car. it's just another way you'll be traveling at the speed of hertz. but when she got asthma, all i could do was worry ! specialists, lots of doctors, lots of advice... and my hands were full. i couldn't sort through it all. with unitedhealthcare, it's different. we have access to great specialists, and our pediatrician gets all the information. everyone works as a team. and i only need to talk to one person about her care. we're more than 78,000 people looking out for 70 million americans. that's health in numbers. unitedhealthcare. for a hot dog cart. my mother said, "well, maybe we ought to buy this hot dog cart and set it up someplace." so my parents went to bank of america. they met with the branch manager and they said, "look, we've got this little hot dog cart, and it's on a really good corner. let's see if we can buy the property." and the branch manager said, "all right, i will take a chance with the two of you." and we've been loyal to bank of america for the last 71 years. in raw politics this week, it's all about which presidential candidate truly feels your pain. president obama's team is rolling out a plan to raise taxes on the richest americans and they say the opponents of the idea, including mitt romney are out of touch with ordinary voters. romney's campaign says it's president obama who is out of touch. in response so senior white house adviser says the overall trajectory of the economy is headed in the right direction, the romney camp released this statement today. after friday's disappointing jobs report, the white house is trying to spin the nearly 23 million americans struggling to find work as a good thing. >> we've got a ways to go. we need to keep pushing. but what's really bothersome to me, is that it seems like they're rooting for economic failure. >> both sides trying to paint the others out of touch. earlier i talked about it all with democratic strategist james carville and republican strategist rich galen. basically making the same argument about each other. the other is out of touch and they don't feel the pain of ordinary americans. does this still resonate with voters? >> i think it does. also, i'm not sure i think this is -- obama could seem a little aloof. but i think that's romney's biggest problem. not sure why romney wants to bring this front and center. he's not had a good primary when it comes to connecting with ordinary people. but the truth of the matter is neither one of these guys are like a clinton i feel your pain kind of politician. they're not. >> rich, it's going to boil down to independents and how they interpret this, right? >> and i think the obama people are pretty smart. my guess is they are planning a campaign for in an economy that this is as good as it gets. either it's going to be worse or not much bitterness. so they're planning for a campaign that really does turn on to use a clintonian phrase, i feel your pain. which as james says, neither one of these guys is very good at. i don't think either one believes. >> james, can the obama campaign keep this from being a referendum on obama? >> well, first of all, they're not going to say do you like this economy or not because we know the answer to that. do you want to go back to the economy we had before? romney is doubling down and tripling down, he wants to give more taxes to wealthy people, he didn't want to get out iraq. he favors cutting programs that favor the middle class. sure. i think that's what they're going to do. who doesn't -- i mean, who won the want that sort of comparison? >> rich, i want to play something your former boss newt gingrich had to say yesterday. >> you have to be realistic. given the size of the organization, given the number of primaries he's won, he is far and away the most likely republican nominee. and if he does get to 1,144 delegates, i'll do everything i can to support him to defeat obama. >> it's a different gingrich than the one that vowed to fight to tampa. >> two things happened in the past week. one, newt lost to ron paul in all three elections last tuesday night. number two, he is now in fourth place in the public polling behind ron paul. and thirdly, i thought about this overnight his health think tank went out of business last week. i'm not saying he -- >> declared bankruptcy. >> yeah. i really think that that affected newt. he had a lot in that he worked hard for that. i'm not saying he thinks it's his fault, but to a great degree if he had still been there, that would still be going. so i think all these things weigh on him, and he's sort of said, okay, enough already, i'm going to be a romney guy and let's get on with it. >> james, could this be part of the process that the republican party may not be as difficult to pull off as democrats had hoped it would be, or expected it? >> i think most democrats -- repaired their relationship with gingrich. large constituents within the republican party that are still unenthusiastic about mitt romney. i don't think that speaker gingrich or santorum or paul will be able to bring him on without action on the part of romney. he's got the work cut out for him. by the way, i really agree with rich. i mean, newt has put a lot on the line, lost a lot in doing this. but it's something he always wanted to do. i guess in the end he went out and did it. great personal and financial cost to him to do it. >> but james, doesn't he also gain a lot? just in terms of future speaking fees, i imagine he's much more valuable now on the speaker circuit where he makes a lot of money. >> i'm on that circuit myself. he was doing pretty well before. i think he was making money from some of his other organizations. he's probably lost a lot of it going into debt. i think he's $4.5 million into personal debt. he would have to speak for a long time to make up the cost, i suspect. >> he said he was making $65,000 a speech which is a hundred times more than i make. >> rich, we'll see what we can do about that. >> please. >> thanks. >> thank you. >> you bet. sad news, legendary journalist, as you know, mike wallace, who's known for tough questions, competitive drive, inspired young journalists passed away this weekend. we'll look back at his life, his legacy. and we'll talk to lesley stahl about her memories of mike wallace.

>> during the watergate scandal, wallace won recognition for his interrogation of white house staffers, including this interview with nixon's white handman. >> perjury. plans to audit tax returns. bogus opinion polls. plans to firebomb a building. conspiracy to obstruct justice. all of this by the law and order administration of richard nixon. >> is there a question in there somewhere? >> audiences began to tune into "60 minutes" to watch wallace's interviews. before long, he became a household name. during the iran hostage crisis in 1979, wallace confronted the ayatollah khomeini. >> a devoutly religious man. a muslim. says what you are doing now is quote, a disgrace to islam. and he calls you imam, forgive me, his words not mine, a lunatic. >> khomeini answered by correctly predicting sadat's assassination. wallace also pioneered the ambush interview. with evidence of their wrong doing. >> if selling phony university degrees was a hazardous occupation, hanging one on your office wall when "60 minutes" walked in could be downright embarrassing. >> you're not a medical doctor? >> no, i'm not. >> his style was sometimes down with fans. >> you know what your mother told me about her relationship with you. >> what? >> she says you haven't got time to be close to anyone. quote -- >> she said to anyone or to her? >> to anyone. that's your own mom. >> even know mom's judgment stings. >> you like this. that 40 million people have to see me, like, do this. >> but mike wallace never backed down. >> there was no talk about steroids. >> he continued on with "60 minutes" for some 40 years, until his last broadcast in 2008. he always wanted to be known as a tough reporter who was also fair. he also always wanted to get the story first. this is what he told "the new york times" in 2006. >> i had probably not necessarily undeserved reputation of being a prick, of stealing stories from my colleagues. i mean, it's just competition. get the story. get it first. >> first of all, when you heard the news that mike had passed, what went through your mind? >> i thought, you know, i've known he's been sick. i've known this was going to happen and i was still shocked. now, that was yesterday. so i've thought about almost nothing since. and i've been smiling. because i've been remembering mike. and i really liked him. he brought me to "60 minutes". >> he brought you there? >> he brought me there. himself. and he went to bat for me. >> that's quite a vote of confidence. >> i know, someone had to bring me there, that's another story. he brought me there. then he kind of mentored me. sort of. you'll love this. here's a story. he calls me into his office one day. he says the real secret, lesley, is asking the really tough question that the public thinks you'll never ask. but when you ask it, you can't be embarrassed. you can't be timid. you just have to ask it with total ease as if it's the most natural thing to do. if you're embarrassed about it, the audience will feel it. he said, you need to work on this. >> oh, really? >> yeah. >> he was one of the first people who really greeted me when i started at "60 minutes" too. but i remember he called me kid. and it was so thrilling that he would even acknowledge me and talk to me. later i did some stuff for an organization he was working with to raise money for folks with depression and suicide awareness and stuff. he also had this other side of being intensely competitive. i never really saw that because i kind of knew him in the latter years. >> you saw it on television. >> certainly. >> he was who he was. >> the folks, though, who work at "60 minutes" were on the cbs morning show today with charlie rose. and i want to play some of what they said and have you speak. >> we were neighbors for 37 years -- 38 years. >> meaning his office was next to your office. >> next door. and steve is now in that office. and there were a couple of years in there which we didn't talk to each other. >> you and mike did not speak? >> we communicated through other people. >> why was that? >> well, mike -- how do i put this? mike would steal stories. >> would he steal stories? >> absolutely. and i always thought that the worst thing than losing the story to mike was actually getting a story from mike on the rare occasion that it happened. because the retribution would last for six years. >> was it really -- would he really steal stories? >> he stole one from me. >> really? >> yeah, barbra streisand. >> he stole the barbra streisand story? >> he did. and unlike morely, if i stopped talking to him, he wouldn't know i wasn't talking to him. >> how did he steal a story? he would hear you might be working on it? >> yeah. i was telling someone in the recording studio and he was there. he was waiting to get in to do his recording. and he ran off. and then the next thing i knew, she agreed to do it with him. i guess he called her. >> wow. >> that'll teach her. >> it's interesting. when i got there i was surprised. even when you print out they will go over to make sure no one else sees it. is that just a -- >> no, it was just mike. but you know, we're telling that story. i loved him. i totally loved him. and i was -- i laughed. i laughed after about two weeks. >> right. but he and don hewitt used to have fights. there used to be fights at "60 minutes," like screaming matches, didn't there? >> yeah. they didn't talk at each other. they yelled at each other. only occasionally did it get so bad that they weren't really talking with each over and you worry about the future of the show. that happened over the tobacco story. mostly they were yelling over the content of the piece and they cared. it really was a measure of the commitment they both had to getting it right. there's still a lot of fighting that goes on at "60 minutes" over the content. >> that's what makes it such a great program. >> i loved it. it was high energy. it was commitment. it was integrity. it was all of those things. >> he was public about his battles with depression in the wake of the westmoreland trial. and even a suicide attempt he talked about publicly. he worked along with with mary wallace to raise money and raise awareness. and i did a number of interviews with him on the subject. was that something you saw? was that something you were aware of in the work place? >> well, i wasn't aware of him being depressed in the work place. he was too much of an outgoing guy's guy. i never really sensed that myself. but when he went public with his depression, it was early. it was before anyone else of his level ever did that. it was part of the man's fearlessness and courage. i mean, everything he did demonstrated fearlessness. and that was huge in how many people he helped by going public and saying if the toughest guy in america has this disease, which people thought was a sign of weakness, had all different kinds of stigmas. if he could have it, then i'm okay admitting i have it. it was an enormous thing for him to have done publicly. >> do -- one of the other things morally morley safer said today was, that mike, despite all of his fearlessness, mike was unsure himself in some ways. maybe as a result of doing entertainment stuff years before. >> i have to say i never saw that. >> you never saw that? >> no. not for a second. i did see a boyishness or almost like a teenage boy quality in him that would pop out. >> his smile that would break out -- i watched old interviews of his, was just amazing. >> amazing. >> so there was this little boy in there. he let it pop out. i never saw any sense of lack of self-confidence in mike wallace in anything. i loved the stories he did that weren't with heads of states and crooks and so forth where he would just be smitten with shirley maclaine or have a crush on tina turner, and let you see it. and he loved vladimir hororowitz. and he let you see it. i thought he just was a guy, and everything was out there. i am who i am. i'm honest in everything i do. >> i also think to have the career and longevity he had in this business was extraordinary. he was working until he was 88. >> 88. >> yeah. i just think that's extraordinary. >> when he started "60 minutes" with don hewitt, he was 50. >> wow. that's amazing. >> of course he'd already had a career in showbiz. he was an actor in radio and commercials. and his son died in greece. and he turned -- he changed. >> that was really for him a major turning point. he decided after that -- his son had been doing writing. i remember him saying that he felt his son might be a reporter. he wanted to be the reporter his son would never be. >> he wanted to become a serious person who made a mark. and he did. and he changed enormously and devoted himself to this. >> he at the same time was a remarkable performer. i don't mean that in a derogatory way. in addition to being a journalist, he would have a pause in a sentence. >> oh, yeah. >> and i don't know, it was so effective. >> it was brilliant. and i remember hewitt saying to me, watch mike. watch mike. ed bradley had a little bit of that, too, by the way. >> i think i was trying to remember the last time i saw him. it may have been in the halls of "60 minutes." that's the way i want to remember him. in the halls of "60 minutes." he helped make that broadcast and that broadcast helped make him. >> he created it with don hewitt. he decided that it was going to be serious journalism. it was going to make a difference. he created it in his voice. you know, all of his talents represent "60 minutes." then he stayed long enough to make sure we all got it right. and that it would live in his image in a way. >> yeah. >> and it has. >> it has. and as a broadcast, it's never been more relevant. it's as relevant today as it was, you know, back in his heyday. >> well, you know, jeff, our new boss, he worked under mike wallace toos and donohue wit. he, too, knew he was going to carry it on. he wasn't going to let it fade or soften. >> mike's voice is still alive in that broadcast. anticipate in those halls?
