good evening. in mexico, president obama just finished a major news conference after meeting with president hu jintao of china. the conclusion of the g-20 summit. some of the biggest questions were about the economy. >> if fewer folks are buying stuff in paris or berlin, that means that we're selling less stuff made in pittsburgh or cleveland. >> president obama had a lot more to say about the global economy. meanwhile, more breaking news tonight from egypt. crowds swarming around tahrir square earlier tonight after reports hosni mubarak was clinically dead. his attorney says he's in a coma. the former president was serving a life sentence in prison. now, let's go live to cairo where ben wedeman has the latest. hosni mubarak, who is said to be in a coma. what do you think is the most credible in terms of the status of hosni mubarak's health? >> well, piers, i don't think there's any question that hosni mubarak's health took a turn for the worst today. really since the 2nd of june when he was sentenced to life in prison for not stopping the killing of protesters during the revolution. clearly, he's had a very hard time adjusting to prison life. at first, it looked just like he was unhappy. but his heart has given sort of -- has suffered from it. and now of course he's been rushed to a military hospital by the nile. now, reports we're getting at this point would indicate that his condition has stabilized and he may be improving. what's interesting is really the lack of reaction from most egyptians to the news he was either dead or dying. thousands of people in tahrir square but they were protesting against what is seen as a military coup d'etat by the military forces. at the time, which is about an hour after the news came out, there were just a few journalists in front of the hospital, just a few police and soldiers on the inside. so most people are much more focused on political uproar going on in egypt right now and not so much on either the rumors of death or the death of former president hosni mubarak. >> it seems very recently, obviously over a year ago, we were covering the events tahrir square. so much hope and expectation then. a great new world in egypt. the very dispiriting sights we're seeing today suggests it hasn't gone that way at all. that the military still has this iron grip on the country. there are rival groups squabbling over leadership. it is frankly in chaos, isn't it? >> i wouldn't call it chaos. the streets of cairo are as they always are. chaotic from a traffic point of view. life does seem to go on. you could look at this situation in egypt either as a glass half full or glass half empty. on the one hand, yes, hosni mubarak was toppled, but the regime remains. most of the people who were in the government under mubarak are still there. on the half full side, there has been a fundamental change in the way egyptians look at the affairs of their country. they are engaged. they are politicized as never before. you walk down the street where oftentimes you would see people engaged in discussions about football, about other things, reading the koran. now they debate politics and they read the newspapers. so it has been very much a radical change. maybe not what everybody was hoping and expecting. piers. >> ben wedeman, thank you. here now on both of our big stories. "new york times" op-ed columnist frank burny. the president made this big speech tonight. what he said really in direct response to mitt romney. let's see this. >> well, first of all, with respect to mr. romney's advisers, i suggest he go talk to mr. romney about his advisers. i would point out that we have one president at a time and one administration at a time. >> it seemed to me, as he did, with the heckler reporter the other day, jumping in. he looks a little bit on edge, the president. a little less self-assured and calm. >> he looked really deenergized. one of the whole advantages of being the president, being the incumbent, is you get those settings. the flags behind you. the podium. the international audience. he stroed out there and the cadence of his speech was very slowed down. there was a little of hemming and hawing. he got the first question from the press and answered -- that answer went on and on. he provided this really strange tutorial on european economic dynamics. i don't think that's what he meant to do. he doesn't seem in command. >> that comment about one president at a time, one administration at a time, what did you make of that? >> well, he's talking about the thing that was in the german nurp newspaper. he seems to be trying to make some political hay over romney's advisers criticizing him in the international press. i don't understand that attack because we live in the world of the internet. everyone knows whether you publish something in a german newspaper, everybody knows what sort of criticisms are being made. everybody knows there are huge difference of opinion in this country. i don't understand this whole mini controversy. >> he went it's off his way to say, look, the reason europe matters, is obviously if the economy throughout europe collapse, then american, experts to europe, it's one of the biggest trade partners it has, they also de deteriorate. >> i think what he was trying to do was say to people, i don't have control over everything. this is a very important thing for him to establish during this campaign. he can't evade responsibility for the economy. but he has the right to make clear to people and should make clear to people that not everything rests with him. there are larger factors. there are global dynamics. this are things happening in europe he has virtually no control over. he wants voters to understand that as they assess his economic performance. >> you wrote a great piece in "the new york times." dangling on the precipice of disaster. everyone's like that tight rope walker across niagara falls. >> right. >> everyone's just dangling. maybe falling over. no one's quite sure. always seems to be this kind of chaos everywhere. >> one cliff to the next. >> yeah. what is the sensible way to move forward? what should world leaders be talking to each other about, actually doing, to stop that sense of dangling on the precipice? >> whether we're talking about the future of the euro and all these other governments that need bailouts. entitlement gets so expensive. i mean what we need to do is look five and ten years down the road and make decisions that are responsible for the future and not just expeendant for us right now. in this country, politicses are constantly talking about our children, our children, our children. what amazes and gals me is when we actually make decision, as a country. once things get to our congress. i don't see decisions made that are at all cognizant of the world our children will inherit. >> the kind of vision of a kind of america that actually america was founded on. what is the positive vision for this country? neither of the two protagonists in this election campaign seem to have that clarity of vision for a positive way forward for the country. it's all very negative already. >> it's all very negative. it's all about what's happening tomorrow or what happened yesterday. i think if one of these gentlemen articulates the vision you're talking about, makes a credible case for having the path to that vision and convinces people he has whatever it takes, if there is anything you can do, to break the logjam of congress, that's the man who will win this election. right now neither of them can do this. >> mitt romney's body language perhaps emboldened by a month of pretty good news for him as president obama's slightly hit the skids in terms of his own successful path to re-election. we've watched him today. watch a bit of this. looks like he's got his gander up as we would say back home in britain. >> when i was governor,chw schwarzenegger, fellow republican, came to my state. me was trying to poach jobs from my state to go to california. had a picture of him in a t-shirt flexing his muscles. said, come to california. what am i to do? i put billboards up in his state. it had me in a t-shirt flexing my muscles. it said smaller muscles but much lower tax, come to massachusetts. >> i laughed at that. because to see him in such a relaxed way. very controlled, very safe. only talking to certain media. now you're beginning to see a slightly more confident mitt romney. dare i say human. >> i don't know relaxed is always his best mode. i was just laughing when i saw that because i can imagine the bumper sticker, let me flex my smaller muscles. mitt romney is not so good with metaphor. i think we've learned that. >> obviously the polls say it's pretty close. is this going to be a really aggressive tightly forged contest? >> i do. we could be proven wrong. right now, we have an economy that seems to be improving incrementally. it's very vague. in that uncertainty, you have i think the recipe for a nail biter of an election. >> what about this whole vp issue? this discrepancy about rubio. mitt romney says he was. something's going down. i don't think mitt romney would say he was. if he wasn't taking him seriously as eye a contender? >> i'm going out on a limb and saying i'm pretty sure rubio is not the choice. he doesn't have an enormous amount of experience. coming out of 2008 with all the questions raised about sarah palin he not sarah palin. they have to veer toward a candidate of whom they can say with great certainty this person's ready to take over the presidency day two if that somehow happened. i don't think rubio's going to be the guy. i don't think the romney campaign wants to say that now because they've got a problem with latino voters and you don't want to say to those voters we've taken this latino thoroughbred off the table really, really quickly. >> look on the outside, president obama's track record. he hasn't been bold enough in many areas. you could also say if you're looking at it objectively he put millions of people into health care. he brought in gay marriage. endorsed that publicly. he's just helped, now, the youth of illegal immigrants. he's done some pretty radical stuff. which of course may vote against him. which is the irony of taking these positions on these hot issues. is that in the end they may not be vote winners for president obama. >> the question about those hot issues, in all those issues you were going through, basically identifying some of his strongest constituencies. reaching out to women. to gay americans. to latinos. the question is how is this playing with swing voters. the question bigger than that, political analysts argue about till the cows come home is do you win elections by really motivating and getting your core voters in the greatest numbers to the polls or do you win it with those swing voters who some analysts think are a little mythical. >> or romney's base with these particular hot button issues. that's the question at the moment. coming up, jerry sandusky's wife takes the stand to defend her husband. will sandusky himself test few tomorrow?

>> i think it's general hospital. actually it could be all my children. >> jerry sandusky's defense attorney early today. the sandusky trial is our other big story. dottie took the stand today and said she didn't witness any abuse but she told the court children often slept over at the house and her husband would go downstairs to tell them good night. joining me now is the former chief of the manhattan d.a. sex crimes unit. and psychologist dr. janet taylor. welcome back. i found that little performance by sandusky's attorney pretty disturbing actually. it's not really a laughing matter this, is it? >> no, i absolutely agree. when i heard about that today, i found the back and forth totally inappropriate. you know, it's like he doesn't get this either. just like jerry sandusky doesn't get this. even if you believe all those victims are lying and his client is falsely accused, this is one serious matter. what are we fooling around with and making comparisons to soap opera? entirely in bad taste. all my children? bad taste. >> inappropriate. dottie sandusky's the fascinating part of this story. no one's really sure what she knew if anything. whether she was willfully blind. whether she jen had no idea what was going on. based on what happened today, what is your take on her involvement? >> i think she's a sweet old lady. she's been married to him for 46 years. stand by your man. a good contrast to if there were two sides to him that potentially he kept her in the dark and had this sweet woman who believes everything he said. and you could see where he had this portrayal as this dotting husband. >> i'm surprised the prosecution didn't go harder. the cross examination seemed relatively soft. was that a deliberate strategy? is there a danger if you go too hard you alienate a jury? >> absolutely. i wasn't surprised at all at that strategy. i think they expect there are a number of jurors who feel very sympathetic for dottie sandusky. the wool was pulled over her eyes. and that even if she saw certain things, that she's repressed them, she just couldn't deal with them. i think they made a smart move in doing it exactly the way they did. >> the defense part of the clinical psychologist who said he diagnosed him with histrionic personality disorder. they feel uncomfortable or unappreciated if they're not the center of attention. two, are often inappropriately seductive. three, they're likely to embarrass friends by excessive displays of emotion. i mean, call me stupid, but this seemed like the greatest excuse i've ever heard. some weird disorder we've never heard of. >> he had a relationship with his wife for 46 years. help was married. personality disorders are the extreme end of the personality traits we all have. i think it's still no excuse for bad behavior. for criminal behavior. he could have a personality disorder. i happen to disagree with this diagnosis. he still has to stand on trial for what he's been accused of, personality disorder or not. >> have you ever heard of this in all your time work in the sex crimes area? >> i had never heard of it. i looked it up. i wonder how they apply to jerry sandusky. about being the center of attention. and acting inappropriately sexually with people. in public. that's what -- not what this case is about. it's about inappropriate sexual behavior in private, in showers and in basement bedrooms. >> typically with this, it's usually peer to peer. i think to mesh that in with what he is accused of in terms of inappropriate behavior, adult to child, to young man, i think is inexcusable. >> what i find absolutely baffling is the fact that -- of course he was having showers with these boys. all guys or older having showers with naked boys of 12 or 13? i've never heard of this before. other than some sexually abusive way. have you? >> i've never heard of it. i do know if you're a coach and the players -- and you come off the field and it's been a hot day, everybody might get in a big group shower and be physically in a big room. but i've never heard of doing that with little boys like that, number one. number two, the coach is down on one end and the kids are down at the other end and they're not touching each other. you've got jerry sandusky showering alone with him, rubbing -- by what he says happened, rubbing up on them, playing soaping games, tickling them. >> i've got three sons who played a lot of sports. if i'd heard any teacher had done that kind of thing, i would have been absolutely enraged and taken immediate action. the collective silence of everybody around these boys is equally baffling. another strange thing has happened. nbc news, we remember, did this interview with bob costas. and the prosecution has now subpoenaed what we didn't see at the time. i don't know why we didn't see this. because it's incredibly significant i think. let's watch a little bit of the interview that didn't air on nbc. >> -- come forward, many more young people who would come forward and say that my methods and, and what i had done for them made a very positive impact on their life. and i didn't go around seeking out every young person for sexual needs that i've helped. there are many that i didn't have -- i hardly had any contact with who i have helped in many, many ways. >> both shaking your heads. nbc i think later played this on some of their affiliates. certainly when you hear that for the first time, as i did last night, you are shocked, because it appeared to be a confession, doesn't it? >> it sounds incriminating. sounds as if he's saying for all the young men i came into contact with, there are some i didn't touch inappropriately. the fact is, if he touched one, that's one too many. it just is denial and manipulation. it's mind boggling. >> as the former prosecutor, i listen to a statement like that and i'm ready to jump down his throat with cross examination -- >> there are rumors swirling that in a last throw of the dice, they're going to put sandusky on the stand. would you do that if you were in that position? >> i think it depends how they've seen the says go in. we think the case went in for the prosecution very strong. that he almost has no choice but to put him on the stand and give it a shot and hope he can hang the jury with one person. but if mr. amendola has a little bit of an odd take on this case if he seems to think he did a really good job on cross and with these character witnesses and the few other witnesses they put on, and he says that to sandusky, they may decide not to put him on. >> it will be a gripping moment if he does take the stand. please come back tomorrow. thank you both very much. coming up, keeping america great, with this country's personal financial guru dave ramsey answers your questions live and via twitter. cuban cajun raw seafood pizza parlor french fondue tex-mex fro-yo tapas puck chinese takeout taco truck free range chicken pancake stack baked alaska 5% cashback. signup for 5% cashback at restaurants through june. it pays to discover. ooo no. the hotel lost our reservation. nonsense! you book at travelocity, your reservation's guaranteed. well, i did not book with travelocity, okay?!?

if president obama says he's the right guy to be elected in november, has he earned that right from the way he's conducted himself economically? >> well, i think he said something in a speech the other day that was very telling. he said this is a time to make a choice between the economic policies that are going forward. now that sounds very much a political statement. people make those kinds of statements when they're on the stump all the time. but i think he was very right in that. the way he got elected was pledging hope. and hope was a wonderful campaign for him. the question people have to answer is, is hope really coming out of way. i think we're asking too much of a mitt romney to say that hope comes from washington. in the sense of actual creation of jobs. i think their job is to create a vision. when he was saying that if there's a candidate that will step forward with a plan, with vision, people will gravitate towards that candidate like never before. that was president obama's campaign last go around. this go around, he's having a stand on the record that honestly is not very good. >> you can't stand on hope and yes we can twice. that's the problem. in your lifetime, have you ever seen a worse situation for the american economy than the one we're currently in? >> yeah, i think so. i think 1982, the recession there, it was worst in a lot of ways. we had double digit unemployment. we had interest rates at the 18% mark for mortgages. and so we had a perfect storm then as we came out of carter into reagan. that's what elected ronald reagan. was the promise of a vision, a hope, if you will, to fix that. now, you can argue about whether he was the guy that fixed it or not. but that's how he got elected, was in this same kind of a perfect storm that president obama finds himself in. >> you tweeted today. taxes aren't why people are poor. consumism is the problem. explain exactly what you meant by that. >> that was someone who was arguing with me on twitter. >> were you agreeing with him? >> no, i was arguing about that. i threw out there -- i just threw out that taxation, this consistent going to the well for taxation to solve america's problems, is a worn out idea. what i threw out just for fun on twitter to stir it up, what if we just took a tax holiday for the next three years, saying no one pays any extra taxes above income. meaning if you went and earned a whole bunch of extra money because there weren't any taxes, how many people would go earn like crazy, sell like crazy, do things in the economy, start a business, because there was no taxes on their extra income? in other words like a sales tax holiday. how you drive sales for the merchants at a back to school time or something like that. it would do that for an economy. if you tax the tax hood off the thing, people come alive. >> i saw it all exploding. i couldn't quite work out who was saying what, as you can probably tell. we had a lot of reaction. one here. who said, i got told last week i am what's wrong with the economy, since i don't have debt and i pay cash. it confirmed to me i'm doing the right thing. >> well, absolutely, it does. that's a contrarian view, which is what we talk about all the time. if most people aren't winning and you do what most people are doing, you are going to not win. he's enjoying the idea of being weird. that he doesn't have to go into debt. he doesn't have to spend, spend, spend, spend and be a consumer to support the economy. that goes back to george bush after 911 telling people to go spend. and to drive the economy. and we kept saying no, go do what's right for your own house hold and that will drive the economy. >> in terms of priorities, figures out today about still the huge amount of credit card debt that many americans are under. we got a tweet here. saying, how do you manage student loan and credit card debt and a low paying job? how do you prioritize? what do you get rid of first? >> what we teach people to do to get out of debt is to list their debts smallest to largest. pay minimum payments on everything but the little one. and then attack the little one with a vengeance. but that low paying job is the problem here. my grand mother used to say there's a great place to go when you're broke and that's to work. when you got a mess, you got to take six jobs. be delivering papers or throwing papers. you got to be selling so much stuff the kids think they're next. name the dog ebay. you got to get fired up if you're going to get your debt moved on. if you want to sit in a low paying job and clean up, you know, $35,000 in credit card debt and $50,000 in student loan debt, the math on that doesn't work you're in a big hole and you've got to get more shovels. >> how much do you blame american consumer, the average american in the street, for the predicament they find themselves in financially? how much is down to them spending money they didn't have? maybe being seduced by great offers that we now know weren't worth the price they were written on. how much is personal responsibility at play here? >> the vast majority of it. when i went broke 20 years a the problem was the guy in my mirror. he did stupid things. i can blame it on the irs. i can blame it on the banks. i can blame it on ronald reagan. i'm the idiot that put myself in a position to be hammered by all those outside variables. one of the things you learn in business, true in personal finance as well, you put yourself in a risk management position where the outside variables don't hammer you. meaning if i don't have any credit card debt, if i paid cash for my cars, if i paid cash and went to a community college or state college so i don't have student loan debt. and i pile up $15,000 or $20,000 for an emergency fund. and i work my way through and in five or ten or 15 years pay off my home. and then i get laid off. well, hey, i've controlled those outside variables. the layoff i couldn't control. the rest of it i could control. i don't lose my home and i don't get hammered. if i'm living on the edge and i keep making decisions to buy something else i can't afford and i go further in debt and i'm up to my eyeballs and then i got laid off, those outside variables that come in to impact me, i didn't control my inside variables. so i got hammered. and that's -- so yes, most of it is personal responsibility. do the banks play a part in it with putting easy credit out there where they're loaning money to dead people, dogs and children? yes, they play a part in it. does the government play a part in the student loan debacle where they're guaranteeing loans for 17-year-olds? how stupid is the student loan program? yes, they play a part in it. hey, you and i, we're grown-ups. we sign up for these trips and we get to take them. >> look in the mirror. good advice. when we come back, we're going to talk about women. any women out there who want to get involved in that debate can tweet me @piersmorgan. women wear the financial trousers in many households in america this days. i want to hear from you. [ male announcer ] it isn't just your mammogram. it's your teenager's first varsity game. it isn't just your annual exam. it's your daughter's wedding. did you know with your health insurance you may now have some preventive benefits with no co-pays or out-of-pocket costs?

and then secondly, when exactly do you start giving to charity? >> well, i would give always off the top before you do anything else. if you're a member of a faith, for instance, i'm an evangelical christian, we're called to tithe. muslims are called to give. jews are called to tithe as well. orthodox jewish faith as well. if you're not a member of a faith, it's always good to be giving off the top. as far as life insurance, for a young single lady or single person for that matter, if you don't have any dependents, people that are counting on you, then all you would need would be enough to pay off your deads and to take care of final expenses. funeral expenses. should a very small term policy would be in order there. you don't need a lot of life insurance unless you have a family that counts on you. >> michele, are you satisfied with that? >> caller: yeah, that's great. also, about that final expenses, how do you make things okay for people who might not have the money to pay out front, life insurance money -- >> funeral homes will work with you if you can show -- your mom for instance can go into the funeral home, show them your life insurance policy. that she's the beneficiary on. they'll wait on her to get paid and go ahead and advance the funeral. they'll have her sign some paperwork. that's a fairly normal process. to take care of that. that will usually run about $10,000. plus, whatever dealts you have. so a small $50,000 term policy is more than adequate in a situation like that. >> we'll have to leave it there. thank you very much for your call. dave, let me just read a tweet to you here. says, how do you teach your children to understand what extras are? society makes everything a must have these days. >> well, that is the part of the personal responsibility question you asked a moment ago that's really interesting. we live in the most advertised to, marketed to, society in the history of the world. if you think about it, the book aflewen za says we get about 3700 imprints a day put in front of us of some kind of ad. whether it's a tweet ad, a pop-up on youtube, my radio show or your tv show. you're going to get advertised to. you've got to teach children resistance to that. there's another study that's shown the number of hours of television you watch a week can be correlated with how much credit card debt you have. the more advertising you view, the more you're likely to overpurchase. we start confusing what is a need with a want. in eshg in, we have very few needs. very few of us have very few needs that aren't met. we have a car. we just want a better car. but then we say the words, "we needed a car." you didn't need a car. you had one that worked. you just wanted a better one. you really have to educate kids to separate their emotions on that so they can see the difference in luxuries and the difference in actual wants. that's a great tweet question. >> here's another one here from sara k. wilcox who says the other thing that makes people poor is wealthy people having more than their share and policies that reinforce that. let me ask you on a wider point about that. when you see president obama targeting the rich, kind of like a modern day robinhood, do you think it's a sensible thing to do? does it make that much difference? is it really what the president should be focusing on? or would you like a different kind of attitude? >> well, that lady has fallen prey to a false set of logic. and the false logic -- it's a very naive view of the economy. that is what we call the fixed pie view. meaning that there's only $100 in the economy and so if piers ends up with $20, that means there's only $80 left for me to get my share and everyone else out of there. so you got more than your fair share of this fixed pie. but the economy does not work that way. that's why we call money currency. the money and economy expands and contracts. the economy is much more complex than the fixed pie scenario. so the dangerous assumption there that the envy -- envy is an evil spirit -- that that tweet is based on, is if i get something, that means you, by definition, can't have it. it means if bill gate invents a computer, it doesn't invent new money and new be jos, which it does, instead, he must be taking money from someone else, thereby creating more poor people. >> dave, you always make such incredibly simple sense of often very complex issues with the economy. i almost feel like you should be running the country. might be in a better position. thanks, as always, for your time. and do come back soon. >> thank you, piers, thanks for having me. >> dave ramsey, great guy to have on, these difficult times. next, a preview of my interview with the smashing pumpkins billy corrigan. a man who has a lot to say about the country and the president who had disappointed him. ♪ time is never time at all >> announcer: you never know when, but thieves can steal your identity, turning your life upside down in a matter of seconds. >> hi. >> hi. you know, i can save you 15% today if you open up a charge card account with us. >> you just read my mind. >> announcer: just one little piece of information and they can open bogus accounts, stealing your credit, your money and ruining your reputation. that's why you need lifelock. lifelock is the leader in identity theft protection, relentlessly protecting your personal information to help stop the crooks in their tracks before your identity is attacked, protecting your social security number, your bank accounts, even the equity in your home. >> i didn't know how serious identity theft was... until i lost my credit and eventually i lost my home. >> announcer: credit monitoring alone is not enough to protect your identity, and only tells you after the fact, sometimes as much as 60 days later. with lifelock, as soon as we spot a threat to your identity within our network, our advanced lifelock i.d. alert system directly notifies you, protecting your identity before you become a victim. >> identity theft was a huge, huge problem for me and it's gone away because of lifelock. >> announcer: while no one can stop all identity theft, if the criminals do manage to steal your information, lifelock is there to help fix it, with our $1 million service guarantee. that's right, a $1 million service guarantee. don't wait until you become the next victim. call now to try lifelock risk-free for two full months. that's right, 60 days risk-free. use promo code: norisk. if you're not completely satisfied, notify lifelock and you won't pay a cent. order now and also get this document shredder to keep your personal documents out of the wrong hands-- a $29 dollar value, free. get the protection you need right now. call or go to lifelock.com to try lifelock risk-free for a full 60 days. use promo code: norisk. plus get this document shredder free, but only if you act right now. call now! lifelock service guarantee cannot be offered to residents of new york.
