Yeah, thank heavens. Could i borrow a could dollars till things pick up . Whoa we fred, how much time do we have here . Do we have to do a commercial . [ laughter ] we have a dr. Jeffery born is on the show with some fascinating film about gorillas. Ooooooooo [ laughter ] i think we should go to a commercial now, johnny well be right back with dr. Jeffery born, [ applause ] [ applause ] [ music ] my next guest is the director of the Yerkes Primate Center in atlanta, georgia. Hes written the most interesting study of our and i didnt know that gorillas are our closest relative. Did you know that . Mmmmmm. Well, it is, and its called the Gentle Giants. Would you welcome, please, dr. Jeffery born. [ applause ] [ music ] its nice to have you with us tonight. I thought chimpanzee was the our closest relative, but the gorilla is, uh yes, in many ways the gorilla is, uh, anatomically its just a little closer. I didnt know that. I mentioned earlier on the show that gorillas have kind of gotten a bad press from people, or the image of the gorilla is not what the average person thinks it is, right . Thats absolutely right. [ laughter ] and theres the second over there. Im talkin about. Its true. We make them out as ferocious how can a gorilla get a bad press . Well well, it does. Ill show you why they get bad press. Can i show a couple of these pictures. Yes, go head. Now, for example, i dont know what this is from. Is this from the original . Yeah, its from the original. From the original tim tylers luck. Tim tylers luck, now, you see, theres a gorilla with a girl. Thats not a gorilla, thats a man in a gorilla suit. Now, come on, they know what im saying. Now, look at this. Look at this picture. This is what the studios the motion picture. You see . Thats my manager. [ laughter ] and this picture . Now, well show you a real gorilla. Thats what it really oughta look like. Uh, this is what a real gorilla looks like. They dont look you see how sweet they are. Aww. Now, thats kinda sweet. It is. I highly agree. Theyre very friendly and nice creatures. Well, you discussed that the terrible image that they have, is that due mainly to the Motion Pictures and stories . Early explorers pulled a one who was one of them and he was, uh, the reports he brought back in 1857 from africa were just horrific. Some of them he experienced himself, and some of them were stories that the natives told him. I think he thought he was a bit gullible. And also, other explorers who followed him had all kinds of weird stories too, and then the movies picked up this creature as the perfect horror creature. And then for the next 20 or 30 years the gorilla was featured as the horror beastly creature. Yes . Isnt the gorilla tremendously strong . I mean, what does a full male gorilla weigh . I mean, a male 600 pounds. 600 pounds . And isnt he tremendously strong . Well, considering his strength he is incredibly gentle the way he is. I mean, but hes a naturally heavy, isnt he . Well, sure. 600 pound heavy, i mean. Well, for example, couldnt captivity was what, gargantuan . Gargantuan the first, yeah. I remember seeing the old ringling brothers circus. Yeah, thats right. And they said with oneone arm. One arm, yes. He could what, pull like well, he used to wind the rope around his arm and fling the other end down his cage and five guys used to get on the other end of it, and he would do that and pull five guys off their feet. So, thats pretty strong. He would make a nice football player. So, if a gorilla ever throws you a rope, dont pull it. Obviously. Thanks, john. Do not grab the other end. Yeah, along with your baseballs. Well come back. Weve got some fascinating film also well show you. Ive seen several documentaries on gorillas and they really stay they dont hang around men much. You dont see them unless you no. You actually go out into the, what they call the yes, even then theyll retreat away from ya. Its very rare that they attack, and usually the principal male of the group will attack only if he thinks the group is threatened. And a few people have been charged by the male, and its a very intimidating business because he shrieks at the top if youve got enough strength to hold still, he grinds to a screeching halt about ten feet away. And i suspect the way this was found out is the first guy this happened to was so paralyzed with fright that he couldnt run. So, normally, if you stand your ground they would just they would grind to a halt. And stop. Mmhmm. Is that always the case . What . What do they eat . Whatever they want. That old joke, but well switch it around. Well find out what they eat [ applause ] [ applause ] [ music ] were talking with dr. Jeffery born about his book the Gentle Giants about gorillas, which is really not an aggressive animal, as you say, unless threatened. What did you say they ate . Theyre mostly vegetarians . Theyre vegetarian, almost exclusively vegetarian. Yeah, now, this film were about to see, where was this taken . This was taken in the nagoya zoo, and although what it shows may in some respects look rather the, uh, mr. Asay, who puts on this act, Something Like ten years to develop it. In other words, hes trying to teach . He started it with these little animals, uh, at a year or two old, and he worked up until they were almost adults, and then he decided he wouldnt press his luck anymore. Because, i understand nobody worked with a bunch of gorillas before. People i didnt watch them play a club in jersey. Is that right . Yeah. No, its not true. See, its another bad image they have for the word gorilla, right there. So, heres the gorilla for hoodlums, which is another way another bit of bad press. So, in other words, the problem with working gorillas is as they get older the gorillas dont know their own strength. Thats right. They get stronger and stronger. A back hand like that would knock him through the whole building. All right, so lets look at the film here, and well describe whats going on. Watch the monitors in the studio. And, um, as i say, this is part of an act. Part of an act, thats correct. You can see that monitor over here . Yeah. Oh, look at that. Sized gorillas now, arent they . Oh, yeah, these are half grown gorillas. About 300 pounds . Yeah, 200 to 300 pounds. Now, its not dangerous to be in the gorilla tank . Well, if you havent been with em since you was a youngster, since they were youngsters, well, yeah it would be dangerous. And, uh, nobodys ever done an act with three, uh, almost full grown gorillas like that. Here theyre getting their food. Its like celebrity sweepstakes. [ laughter ] [ applause ] my littlemy little thing for this, will the real gorilla please stand up . Good heavens, now, is he angry . Nonono, hes being admonished. How do you say nono to a gorilla. Just like that. [ laughter ] are gorillas fairly intelligent . Very, very, yes, yes. Theres one being taught to communicate by sign language. Look at the size yes, they have a big bony crest on the, uh, on the top of the skull the muscles connect to that give tremendous biting power to the [ laughter ] the gorilla sees nothing funny about that at all, does he . [ laughter ] oh they made friends again. Thats sweet. Now, does a gorilla know thats a sign of affection . Oh, yes, very much so. Yes, yes, indeed. Ive had that experience myself being with two half grown gorillas. And they so enjoyed being petted they wouldnt let me out of the cage afterwards, which is a bit of a problem. Now heshes fanning it now. And the gorillas doing a bit himself. This isthis is the gorilla version of the twist. Good heavens. I didnt know that you could teach gorillas to do this. Chimpanzee, yes, but [ laughter ] now, give you some idea of the weight. Good heavens, look at that. [ laughter ] this man does this for a living, does he . He does that for a living. He did that for a living. He doesnt do it now. Hes not with us anymore, or. [ laughter ] hes with us, but hes not gonna press his luck anymore. Because the gorillas are becoming too large . Becoming too big, yeah. He couldnt do that with a full grown gorilla. I dont believe that. Yeah. [ laughter ] see, as a matter of fact, those gorillas are they play the percussion, and the harmonica, and the trumpet, and all kinds of things. Have good charts, do they . Yeah, they do well. Well, i never realized that you could go in a cage with gorillas that size. Theyve got to youve got to know your animal very well to be able to do that. Extremely well, i would think. [ laughter ] thats a little sudo wrestling. Does the gorilla know what hes doing . I mean whatwhat the trainers doing . Yeah. Oh, sure, yeah. Theyre highly intelligent animals, and they understand a tremendous amount of spoken commands. And, uh, theres a girl at Stanford University whos teaching one to communicate, you know, sign language for the deaf, and that animal knows 150 words. [ applause ] i would never have, uh ive never seen any film like that. I never would have believed you could do that with gorillas. I must say this for both our sakes, its reminiscent of one of my old divorce actions. [ laughter ] speak for yourself, that could be a lawsuit right there. That is really incredible. Chimpanzees now, they are intelligent also, and they are trying to teach them to, um, with signs and commands. Dr. Rambo at our place has a chimpanzee called lana. He was taught to communicate with us by means of a computer. Oh, i have seen that on television. She is quite fantastic. They got ya in a certain pattern. She asks for the names of words she doesnt names of objects she doesnt know. The other day for instance, being shown an orange and not knowing its name she tapped that out on the computer, please give apple, she knew an apple, but not orange. Gorillas do not breed well in captivity, do they . No, they dont, and theyre sex life has been kind of maligned in the sense that theyre always thought of as being highly sex creatures that want to run off with women. This is not true at all. In fact, from an anatomical point of view, any woman that was run off with by one would be very disappointed. [ laughter ] so they are so theyre not constantly engaged in the sex act at all. No, theyre not. As a matter of fact, one investigator who spent about two years in the field watching a particular group of gorillas saw a sex act only two or three times during the whole of the time that he was there, and one of those occasions was with a visiting gorilla, not the group at all. [ laughter ] the title of the book is the Gentle Giants. Doctor, i thank you for being with us tonight, it was really an intriguing film. Thank you, john. Las vegas august the 17th . August. August, and george, uh, working on the picture. [ applause ] and charles, itit was a great pleasure meeting you and having you on the show tonight. Oh, thank you. Nono, im talking to charles finley. Thanks for having you too. It was a pleasure. Andand i hope you come back and let us know how things turn out. I hope to, thank you. Good night, thank you. Im humbled by that applause. Good evening, im jennifer burton. Thank you for joining us tonight. We begin with breaking news tonight. Nevada senator debbie smith has passed away after a long fight with brain cancer. Debbie smith was born in tuscon arizona, and her family came to nevada when she was an Elementary School student. She was first elected to a Rural School Board at age 22, and she became a lifelong advocate for nevadas Public Education system. She served as president of the nevada pta, and was a the national pta board. Debbie was elected to the Nevada Assembly in 2000, and the Nevada Senate in 2012. People who knew her said she will be greatly missed. Shell be missed in the fight for education dollars and capital construction. With the school board capital bond issue coming up, her voice will be missed. I used to joke that she was my caucus mom. She didnt like hearing that; she perferred caucus sister. She taught me a lot. How to be a better legislator, and ultimately, i think she set an incredible model for how to serve constituents. She was an amazing public servant. Governor Brian Sandoval released a statement. Quote today we remember her legacy as a true nevadan with a fierce devotion to her constituents and state, particularly to Public Education and the children of nevada. I will personally miss her greatly and nevada will miss governor sandoval has ordered all flags on state buildings to halfstaff, until sunset on the day of her funeral debbie smith was 60 years old. She is survived by her husband greg, and her children, erin, ian, and olivia. Today seems very similar to what we saw on saturday. Were seeing some high level clouds with sun filtered behind it. Temperatures are mild for this time of year, into the upper 50s and low 60s. Winds right now are light, sustained at five to ten miles per hour. They will pick up this evening in advance of a weak system to our north. This weak system will give us more cloud sprinkles closer to the oregon border. Temperatures tomorrow morning will near the freezing point. Monday will be dry. Turning to campaign 2016. The Nevada Democratic caucus is over, and Hillary Clinton has been declared the winner. So how was saturdays voter turnout . Ryan canaday has been following the caucus action and joins us now live in the studio. Ryan what did you find out . Jen experts we spoke to said there were really no surprises saturday both in terms of hillarys victory and voter turnout. Now although we did report yesterday that a few locations did have a lot of people show up to caucus. As expected. The state wide numbers were still very low. Caucus although the Washoe County turnout was better than clark county. Nevada still had a very low caucus Participation Rate compared to states like iowa and attracting less than 12 percent of voters on the democratic side. Thats the problem with the caucus state and maybe the problem with the west where were much more jaded about politics a lot more distressful about candidates so building enthusiasm out here is challenging. But could poor participation affect nevadas value as first caucus in the west during future elections . Lokken says that answer is less about voter turnout and more about harry reids decision to retire from the u. S. Senate. With that kind of longevity came tremendous influence in power, we could immediately see the loss of frontloading status for the caucuses but im hoping nevada will also reconsider caucuses and go back to primaries, we have far better Participation Rates, even though theyre still abysmal. But even though the participation isnt always the greatest in nevada, lokken believes our state is more reflective of america than states like iowa or New Hampshire. Making the Democratic Caucus a great test for both campaigns. This is now a reality check for movement and its a chance for the clinton team to score a win and suggests that this is the start of their new momentum which is what i tend to think is exactly what will happen. What then does this all mean for the Republican Caucus later this week . Lokken believes itll be more of what we saw on saturday. The party is going to see at best a 7 or 8 percent turnout, you know we really do, i hope in the 2017 legislature need to stand back, look at this process and rethink it, especially in the post reid years and we really should rethink what were doing if we think more people should be involved. The Republican Caucus is this tuesday, but you can only participate in that caucus if you registered as a republican before february 13th. Covering campaign 2016 live in the studio, ryan canaday channel two news. A dwindling pool of gop president ial candidates heads out west this week for the nevada Republican Caucuses. Latest from southern nevada. Donald trump is on a roll after picking up 50 delegates in his South Carolina victory. But trump isnt underestimating his republican rivals. Im dealing with very talented people, smart people, good people. I think theyll be competing. We still have competition. Its shaping up to be a three man race between trump and senators marco rubio and ted cruz heading into tuesdays caucuses in nevada. Rubio picked up the endorsement of nevada senator dean heller it could be key in his effort to become the choice of establishment republicans. The democrats dont want to run against me, but i want to run against them cruz is hitting the ground hard here in nevada after a disappointing third place finish in South Carolina, where he lost the evangelical vote to trump cruz says hes the only republican so far thats proven he can beat trump. Do well in the first three states and then night on super tuesday. I think im ideally positioned to do exactly that. Dn do you think cruz can win nevada bd yes. Im hoping so. I really am and im going to be one vote for him. Senator Bernie Sanders was also looking to rebound from a tough loss in nevada to Hillary Clinton. He attended Church Services in South Carolina sunday trying to court black voters. The democrats have their next contest saturday in the palmetto state. Danielle nottingham, cbs new, pahrump, nevada. And heading into the gop caucus, heres a look at the delegate count. Donald trump leads with 67, after picking up all 50 in South Carolina.
