leading some to think of different ways to keep their money safe if you have been considering switching to a credit union, joan gold wasser joins us with advice long time no see friend. >> nice to be here again. >> yesterday we were talking about fees associated with using your bank issued cards for debit and so forth and today we thought we would talk about one alternative way, credit union. are they a good way to keep our money safe? >> credit unions are definitely a safe place to keep your money. your money is insured up to $250,000, per account the same way it is in a bank, and so you don't have to worry about that, credit unions are small, well, generally small, owned by members, non-to have the organizations and -- nonprofit organizations, and members are on the board of directors profits generally go back to the members in the form of dividends. >> what is the down side? if you are used to regular banks i suppose. >> well, one of the down sides is that there aren't going to be branches generally speaking, there will be perhaps just one branch that you can go to. now you don't have atm fees because they do belong to networks, there is a co-op financial network of over 20,000 member co-operatives, so that you can take your debit card and go all across the country, and with draw cash but you can't go into a branch and talk to a teller or you know, solve any issue that you might have. >> who can join which credit union? how do you do some shopping? what is a way to get starletted with this if -- started with this if you haven't belonged to a credit union before. >> right now anybody can belong to a credit union. if you go online there is a website called a smarter choice.org and another one called cu look up.com you put in your zip code it will pop up with names of a bunch of credit unions in your area and you can check them out. >> okay, i've always heard credit unions are great if you are going to buy a car, is that still true and what other services can you get at a credit union? >> well, it is true rates are generally better now, interest rates are so low disparity isn't very great but they do give you a break usually on a lower interest rate if you are borrowing money, slightly lower interest rates on credit cards and slightly higher interest rates if you have a cd. >> okay and how about if you already belong to a bank which many of us do and you are like well, maybe we should try a credit union, can you keep both? is it wise to do that? >> just as you can have two bank accounts you can easily have a bank account at a checking account at a credit union and an account at a bank. >> okay and i guess the take home message, pretty safe bet. >> definitely safe and easy to do. >> okay. and give us those websites again i wrote down one a smarter choice the second one. >> cu look ups for credit unions, cu look up.com. >> i am writing that down joan will you be here tomorrow. >> sure any time you want me. >> great

as you may have heard, symbols are extremely important to mental health when you begin your healing journey some times symbols will cause you to reflect inward you calm down and relate and that moves you through time you prepare to accept the idea that healing is a cycle. today i am sick tomorrow i am well. we depend on the symbol for teaching each generation that we live in a continuous existence. >> your totem pole is part of the exhibit, and when they contacted you and said we want something special for this exhibit where do you begin? >> well, you begin by meditating on the idea that all things are a gift, and we have a mythology that says that all things that came before us, transformed into a final form for that, so we would have something, we pitiful human beings, trees, birds, plantings gave us a gift for traditional med sane we look at the plants and find surrounding us in our natural environment were all these medicinal plants could be the bark of the tree, could be the leaf off wild strawberry plant or roots off a devil club there are different plants out there, different parts you harvest at different seasons but for us, they sacrifice themselves for us so we have to begin with the idea of respect begins with ceremony. >> so how many carvers worked on this one totem pole. >> 27. a lot of people say oh, joule did it but really it is a 7- year-old, on up to the 82-year- old that helped us the men and women, the older women and young women the older men and younger men. we make it a community effort to -- >> this 20-foot totem pole started out as a western red sea car, right? is there -- cedar right? is there a choice for that tree? >> this tree has grown for centuries i guess it is about 400 years it is reaching for the sky and branches get higher and the fibers get stretched out and the grain gets hardened over the years and you have less bending of the wood. >> so you guys -- can you give me an idea and explain parts of the totem pole and colors chose season what it means. >> normally we would use the red, black, white and yellows, and colors of the four races, but we also wanted to get into some of the more natural colors for this totem pole we chose a darker blue for the rain drops, lighter blue for the sky we chose the green for the tree, we wanted to show some of the natural colors because we are trying to get the people to relate to the natural environment. >> you all carved this in washington state, right? >> yes, on the lummi indian reservation. >> how many hours would you say it took to make this totem pole? >> from april to september we were actively carving on weekends, mainly that is when i spent most of my time with the youth and elders we never counted by hours we just keep moving forward. >> how do you know when you are done. >> we never feel done you feel i should have done this or spent more time doing this you never feel like you are done. >> then you took it on this 5,000-mile journey and had it blessed along the way tell me about that. >> we started at a traditional village, lummi nation by the u.s. canada border we went down to seattle, we had alaska natives and hawaiians bless it at the

student's conviction of sexually assaulting and brutally murdering her roommate the 24-year-old board add flight from rome to london where she will catch a connecting flight back to the united state this is morning the prosecutor in the case said he will prosecute the case. >> almost got caught on camera asking you the question what is the big question i think everybody watched her tearful plea and you wake up today to find out she has been set free. >> the italian criminal justice system is similar. but what is stunning the big question how the court of appeals in italy could have a stunning reversele, not because they disagreed with the evidence or the bad dna or the lack of motive, because they had two choices, one there wasn't enough evidence to convict, by the lower court or that the two individuals, amanda knox, just didn't do it they chose the latter which is highly unusual under their system. we she was there and we heard her addressing the court in italian, how much weight did that carry? >> well, clearly a lot i mean it was her closing argument i think that she looked the justice, two justices and then the six lay justices under their system, looked them in the eye and said i did not do it i did not kill i did not -- it carried a lot of weight. >> her former boyfriend in this we are not hearing a lot about him but he was also released under this, would you even call it a verdict? decision he was released as well. >> he was and they both benefited from a great criminal defense team there, i think what was critical in their release they convinced the higher court to do independent dna analysis the dna disputed by the court's experts was a turning point. >> she was facing years behind bars. >> 25. and the charges they are accused of this is heavy stuff. >> it was 25 years for murder now they did up hold the conviction for lander, because apparently -- slander because apparently there was an allegation he made under police pressure one of the bar owners committed the crime but they give her time served, 3 years,. all right but we reported earlier this might not be over for amanda knox what might the next court proceeding do. >> well, their extradition treaties between the united states and italy however there was nothing keeping her in italy despite the prosecution's protest and their appeal which is unique they can appeal a not guilty verdict. >> also unique. >> very unique prosecution can appeal it, it will be tough getting her back here and two, if the justices at their level had any doubt about her guilt, we probably would have seen a different outcome. and now she is headed home. >> yep. >> this is so unusual for me and it really has captivated national audience with this i find it very unusual. >> what is interesting, even more unusual you have friends of amanda, not just friends or family members, but folks from around the world who joined on, and were rivetted by the fact that this american college woman, in this italian college town was charged with a grizzly murder and then was convicted and sentenced to 25 years, and so i do think the media attention the political support and the worldwide support for her having a fair or fairer trial, was unusual and captivating. >> worked to her advantage. >> it did. sure justices and judges, listen all the time they read and see what we read and see despite their professional duty to render a fair and partial verdict. a scott bolden, managing partner of scott smith law firm here in dc. good seeing you. >> now to the trial of michael jackson's doctor we could

to make an announcement that could reverse that decision a new poll out by the washington post and abc news has christy tied for 4th place with ron paul if he does decide to run they are both only a few points behind rick perry, jonathan strong staff writer for role call. you had an article about truency in the house what is the deal. >> i looked at two members also serving in the house of representatives they represent 600,000 people both of them have missed quite a few votes while out on the campaign trail but michelle bachmann is the worst offender she has only been there 54% of the votes and none in the whole month of september. >> wow. that is -- now how does that compare with some other folks you looked into. ron paul has been there over 80% of the time and mccoter during his brief, ill fated bid was voting 87% of the time which is the best. >> that is a look at truency in the house now the white house itself especially when we talk about the gop field chris christy we just talked about whether he may run or not is he in or out? >> apparently consulting with his family the news from the last cohow difficult it will be for him to get in at this late stage. there has been some people who looked at the candidates who have gotten in late like this none of them have gotten the nomination, in the past, when you look at history, getting that campaign up and going is very difficult, you know when you try to do it overnight like this. >> do you think because he said nothing short of suicide will get him to believe he is serious and not running do you think his interest now if he would reverse that decision is because we have had so much movement among gop candidates so far? >> clearly there is a segment that is clamoring for more voices unsatisfied with the choices they have. so, you see that, and i think christy has a big problem though, if he runs, when you refer to those quotes because he said he is not ready to run for president. >> right >> so what is he -- if he is going to run for president what does he do ability those quotes -- about those quotes. if you look at the polls now the average polls on the gop side still mitt romney ahead of perry, herman cain has got a lot of attention lately. he has been pushing this 999 plan when it comes to taxes could he win or get a nod or attention just based on that or does he need to show more than that. a lot of the republican voters like herman cain a lot but have a reservation about him he is not electable i am trying to pin down where that is coming from maybe he is too far to the right or too boisterous. >> rick perry latest coming out of his ranch in texas and the name there how much is that going to hurt him? >> two effects you have to watch for peopled in mittle will be e friended -- middle will be offended by this and then on the echo chamber on the right, you see people rallying around him we will see how it plays out. >> mitt romney he is still on top does he just try to stay out of the headlines and let everyone else get the attention. >> so far is good if you are mitt romney, keeping above the fray avoiding a tax that could hurt you, you know you are very happy perry has taken the fall after that lead he had, when the the republican party and members look at these candidates, at what point do they start looking at or if not already, not just who is the darling to have gop but who could beat president obama in an election. >> these voters are focussing on who is the most electable person rather than who has x, y and z policy decisions. >> more to come jonathan strong of roll call good to see you. >> thanks so much. 8:22 a.m., coming up next donald trump joins us live with more on his new vineyard about to open in virginia. >> live at the

this project i don't read a lot, i learned back in the day that you are not going to do something unless you go all in and do it right what are your plans. >> the property is magnificent a thousand acres the largest winery in virginia, in state of virginia and the vineyards are beautiful and we are -- we spent a lot of money on revamping them and bringing them up it was -- it had some problems they spent too much money to put it mildly i bought it hopefully at a nice discounted price but that is sad because that is what is happening in our country you buy everything with a discount if you have cash and we spent a lot of money on it and are making it something really special, going to be one of the best vineyards any where in the country. >> you saw it as a fantastic opportunity looks like it is the right time virginia wines are taking off right now. >> virginia wines are hot a lot of people don't realize it but they are giving napa valley and france a run for their money and we have a great governor in bob mcdonald he was calling me i hope you do this deal i hope you do this deal he will be at the news conference today at 4:00 p.m. at the vineyards but bob mcdonald is really a pro, he is a pro virginia person and he wanted this to happen but people all over the world are talking about virginia as the great wine making place right now, the hottest place there is so i am really -- i think my timing probably is good and i think my price was good which is very important and we will see how it all works out i will let you know in about two years. >> we will keep a close eye on it with the winery and golf course what makes virginia such a great investment. >> i love virginia, i have been there many times over my life and have a lot of friends in virginia but i did do

potomac it is a spectacular success i have 900 members, club house i just rebuilt it and it is really something special, it is amazing and it has been a great great success everybody is joining we have a lot of big wigs joining and actually have already joined so that has been fun and i think the vineyards will be fun and those are two pretty big jobs in virginia, in light of what is happening today we are employing a lot of people. >> celebrating that you have a new book out this week as well. is there any thing you wanted to purchase you haven't yet? >> well, i guess over my lifetime, i mean i have made some bad purchases once i made a purchase of a yacht and i bought a big big yacht and never used it because i would rather play golf than go on a yacht so i am sitting here with this huge yacht and say what do i do with this thing but what i do i am really a business guy i purchase for business i like to put people to work i like to do it. i am not too flamboyant in the non-important purchases as i would call them. >> you are a political guy, since this is washington dc let me ask you about the gop field you met with herman cain recently and rick perry and friends with chris chris the what are your thoughts. well, i met with mitt romney the other day, came up to trump tower my thoughts are we have to win this election barack obama is just not doing it, we've got tremendous unemployment the world is laughing at us, i mean the world is just eating our plop it is terrible i am looking at what is happening, seeing what is happening i have friends in china, in countries they are telling me they can't believe what we are getting away with. they are taking our jobs, manufacturing our goods, manipulating current is he. chris christy -- current sei. chris christy is a good friend, i don't think he is going in but if you said two weeks ago i would have been more definitive i think he is probably not going in but will make the announcement soon. real quick i follow your twitter i know you were on greta last night a lot of attention towards the amanda knox case why were you so sure she was innocent. >> based on the evidence i watched about three years ago and saw this young lady in italy and looked like she was being railroaded we checked out the evidence and they had no evidence and turned out the courts finally righted themselves but i helped out the family a little bit, and you know i am very happy i did it and very happy with the decision and she was innocent they had no evidence whatsoever she didn't do it and i am glad she got out. >> donald trump a pleasure stop in and see us some time when you are in washington good luck with the new vineyard. >> thank you very much great honor. >> thanks steve, bob mcdonald is expected at the winery opening but donald trump is not the only big named celebrity the governor has been hanging out with recently last night he got one on one time with steven spiel berg they talked at the
