struggles, he recounts the stories of violence. when he was a child and then notes when he was changed in his words by god and how his life was really put on a different trajectory afterwards. and that s why these questions over those stories and finding corroboration to those stories is so important. and i also think, poppy, while we ve seen him recently start to lash out against the scrutiny he s under about the stories and his personal history because it s so central to his campaign, and he, of course, does not want to see any part of that, really being unwound. poppy? it s interesting, you heard in that extensive interview he did with allison on cnn s new day, he blamed the media for not vetting president obama the same way that the media s vetting him. it s just not the case. you ll remember, when president obama was running and when he was then in office, there were a lot of questions about his book, dream of my fathers. and a character in that book, his girlfriend from new
undergrads sent explicit photos under 18. 68% were unaware that sexting could be considered child porn. so this is a new-ish phenomenon. but it doesn t seem like there are any concrete laws around it. it creates a lot of gray area, and specifically for that reason, the district attorney in this case is going to really have a lot of discretion. he s the one that s going to have to make the decision whether or not to press charges. what is interesting, though. the message they re spreading to the students. he wants the students to understand, this is not the end of the world. as he put it, that s the terminology he used saying they still have to take each case one by one, see how the law applies and make a decision. you would hate to see some of these students who may have had made a stupid decision to register as a sex offender. that s something they want to avoid. as always, appreciate it. coming up next, big news as unemployment numbers show a very
happened. you know, we there was a certain amount of hysteria when the arab spring started. this all changed. in that sense, the egyptians are right. they are on the front lines in the war on terror. they re in the middle of an insurgen insurgency. they re losing a lot of people. they don t have it under control. and now they re taking a huge hit against terrorism. and we re pushing egypt to the point of turning it into a failed state, which would be a disaster for everybody. but egypt s running this investigation, bob. and you said they re very reticent to say this is a bomb. obviously you don t want to say anything until you re certain. how long does that take for us to get reliable answers. i don t think we will from egypt. i ve watched egyptians over the years for 30 years and they ve never given us any sort of decent intelligence on, you know, internal politics, the muslim brotherhood, all these other movements. they just always been closed
questions being asked and before you know it, we are seeing what is a massive sexting scandal. the superintendent told me a few moments ago there that the students range in ages from senior level all the way down to middle school level. could any of them face charges, these students? it s a very good question. i ve spoken to school officials and to legal experts, there s a lot of gray area here because in colorado, the state law really addresses child pornography. and so now, there is concern here that some of these students could potentially be subject to that. bottom line is, many experts seem to think this is not necessarily child pornography. you essentially have teenagers exchanging pictures of themselves. so now the question is, when this investigation is completed, when the police department wraps up their case and they hand over their findings to the district attorney, what decisions will be made? and it s interesting, there was this recent study at drexel and showed 28%
society is isolated from war and so you say veterans feel even more removed from civilian life when they return to it. for you, what was the hardest part of coming back? well, i think one of the big ones is employment. you come out and you ve had a lot of experience, but it doesn t necessarily relate to what the civilian world understands. i had experienced managing troops, a lot of equipment, millions of dollars worth, and classified material, but when i went to hirers, they treated me as if i were some fresh-faced kid entering the workforce for the first time. they disregarded my military history, and then disregarded everything that had come before that because it was so long ago. and that s what a lot of service members are experiencing when they come out.
