i'm erin burnett "outfront" tonight. markets plunged today. 297 points for the dow. the two-day drop, as i indicated, is close to 600. 573 points. it's a big story and we are covering it tonight. but first, we're starting with some breaking developments regarding herman cain. tonight, a report that one of the women who accused herman cain of sexual harassment wants to speak out. "the washington post" getting everyone's attention after posting a quote from the woman's attorney who told the post, "it's very frustrating that herman cain is going around bad-mouthing the two complainants and my client is blocked by a confidentiality agreement." he's asking the restaurant association to release his client from that agreement. it has been a gut-wrenching 24 hours for herman cain. allegations that he sexually harassed two women have his campaign back on its heels. but it wasn't the allegations or the fact that the women reported -- reportedly got financial settlements, but that he seems to keep changing his story. >> i am unaware of any sort of settlement. she and her lawyer were demanding a huge financial settlement. this was 12 years ago. i was falsely accused. and secondly, the word settlement suggested to me some sort of legal settlement. >> all right. he said he was, as you could see, unaware of any sort of settlement that she and her lawyer were demanding. he also spoke to greta van susteren last night in an interview where he said, he remembered certain parts of what happened, but not the whole story. and he said he never heard of the second claim and called the whole thing a smear campaign. john avalon is a contributor for us. jeffrey toobin is our legal analyst. what is going on inside the cain campaign? you've been reporting on it. is it mayhem right now? >> chaos behind the scenes. on the surface, they are trying to put a brave face on this. they raised $400,000 in online donations on monday alone from supporters citing conservative icons like rush limbaugh, ann coulter to defend themselves. but, look. they've set up a seminar in what not to do in terms of a political communications strategy. changing their stories. it's definitely taken momentum out of their step in terms of gaining new supporters. big question mark hanging over this campaign and they've shown the cost of being inexperienced when it comes to political combat. >> the allegations are of sexual harassment, not assault. but what is the meaning of confidentiality agreement? i mean if you had one, has herman cain already violated it by saying the story that he's already related which is, oh, i remember a woman coming into my office and commenting to her that she came up to my neck, just the same height as my wife. that's all i said. that's not harassment. just by saying that much, has he already opened up the confidentiality agreement? >> well, here's where things get complicated, and you have to know what's in the confidentiality agreement, which we don't know. because they are contracts. and, you know, there are certain standard forms, and i'm familiar with those, but i don't know what this one says. usually both sides are bound by it. so if herman cain, as a representative of the national restaurant association, breached it, she would have a right to breach it as well. but chances are he was not a signatory to the agreement. probably it was just the restaurant association. so it's not clear if he could breach it. i mean, these are the questions you can only know if you look at the contract. but it's important to remember the larger context here. in the united states of america, people who want to tell their stories usually wind up telling their stories. this woman obviously wants to go on the record. >> very politely said, jeff. >> and she's -- however the confidentiality agreement is worded, i think we're going to be hearing more from her sooner rather than later. >> of course, then there was potentially the second woman. we've heard no detail about, whatever that incident may or may not have been or from her. but i also want to ask you this, jeff, because sometimes these settlements are made. it is my understanding and personal experience from people that i know on both sides of this and various companies, sometimes you settle these situations even if the person isn't guilty. >> absolutely. you know, sometimes corporations, time warner where we all work, any big company says, look, it would cost us "x" dollars to defend this suit. if we gave her "x" minus $20, we're ahead of the game, even though we think our employee did nothing wrong. that is certainly a possibility here. obviously, today we learned the woman in question doesn't think that's what happened. she thinks something much more serious than that happened because that's why she wants to speak out. but the possibility that this was a nuisance settlement and that herman cain did nothing wrong, that is clearly a possibility as well. and we need to keep that in mind. >> so what does cain do now? >> his only recourse right now is to try to get out ahead of this story by putting out all the information, by asking the restaurant association to suspend the nda, to put the information out, to see if it corroborates -- >> so he should say, i want her to tell her story? >> this is not in his control. this is an association issue. just as the woman is now saying she wants to be released to tell her story, he's got -- his campaign has to get all the information out there, otherwise this will hang over every step of his campaign. >> ultimately, jeff, what is the bottom line here? it is going to be the national restaurant association's decision, right? >> it is, but if herman cain publicly says tomorrow, as he will certainly be asked tomorrow, i encourage the national restaurant association to let this woman speak her peace, i think the restaurant association will more or less be assured of doing that. so i think the ball is really in cain's court now. does he want the restaurant association to release this woman from her confidentiality agreement? that's the big question to him. but however we talk about the technicalities, it's really -- it's going to come out. this stuff always comes out. and i just think he's going to have to prepare and answer to her substantive comments about what happened here. >> all right. well, thank you very much. we'll all look forward to seeing how he handles it and what happened. >> now let's bring in a republican strategist and columnist for "the hill" and steve mcmahon, former adviser to howard dean's campaign and a democratic strategist. cheri, i wanted to start with you. mike huckabee said in an interview that he could almost guarantee this whole story was planted by a rival campaign. now that these additional revelations have come out and the woman's attorney is speaking, what do you think? >> i think it's possible that it came out by somebody within the republican circles. i doubt very much there's a rival candidate that would be aware of it. i really don't think there's anybody in the field that seems capable of that. but there might be some republicans that are looking out for the party and they would rather have something like this come out now than six months from now or at a time when herman cain is on the ticket. but i don't think it really matters where it came from. at this point, i think herman cain needs to get out in front of it. i would not like to see this woman come out front and do the book tour in a very lucrative 15 minutes of fame, but i think it would be appropriate for her testimony or whatever she put in those documents 12 years ago to be made public without her name. i think that would be fair and just get past this at this point. >> i sure hope she does come out front, maybe on this show. but any kind of lightheartedness aside, what is your perception, john, from talking to the campaigns? >> the chances this is all a big liberal media conspiracy are nil. the opposition researchers, this is almost certainly one if not more campaigns that when herman cain started to rise, they started digging dirt and stumbled upon this. so i think let's not be naive about how modern campaigns work. as huckabee said, this is -- there are sharp elbows here. >> steve, who benefits the most? >> i think whoever is next in line to be the alternative to mitt romney. you can make the case that rick perry is the most logical person to benefit because he was at 40 a few weeks ago before some very, very bad debate performances. and he is a sort of conservative that people thought they wanted until these very bad debate performances. he's tried to reset his campaign. he didn't do it perfectly on friday night when he gave sort of an odd speech. he's tried to restart it. he's got the money to be competitive and the record to be competitive. he's somebody who obviously would benefit. newt gingrich might benefit. the conservatives in the republican party are -- sort of grew up with newt. i think there's a soft spot for newt in many of their hearts even though he's not running a very effective campaign. but it's the next anti-romney who benefits, and i think it's going to happen pretty quickly. >> cheri, john, steve, thanks to all three of you. newt gingrich will be coming "outfront" tomorrow and we'll put these questions to him. he'll be our guest exclusively here on the program tomorrow night. still "outfront," the markets take a nosedive because of greece. is there any relief in sight?

>> it's a spectacular fall from grace. and if he were involved in the disappearance of this money or the using of the customer funds to shore up, you know, mf as it was falling apart, that would be a very, very serious situation. as it is, this was meant to be, erin, a redemption for jon corzine. back on wall street. back with the land of the giants of wall street after he got booted out of goldman sachs in 1999. and he's been absent from wall street all that time. he comes back to mf. this is supposed to be his chance to make a big mark again, and look what happened. he did not learn the lessons of 2008, unfortunately. >> leigh, jon corzine is still an incredibly wealthy man. you've run the numbers. when he left goldman, he was worth $400 million and is still worth a couple hundred million. >> he's worth less whatever he spent to run for governor a couple of times. and his wealth in mf global was almost nothing compared to that, even though it was generous. this is really significant. in addition to the reasons bill said, this was -- if he, in fact, did take this money to cover up the firm's trades, which were risky bets, proprietary trading. he tried to turn mf trading into a proprietary trading firm. if he used clients' money to do that, he may be the one person criminally prosecuted out of the whole financial crisis. we haven't seen that yet. i'm just suggesting. i mean, no one has yet. >> a long way from that. >> we don't know whether he knew. >> this is supposition. being greedy is not illegal. going after easy money is not illegal. that's why no one has been successfully prosecuted. but these allegations that he might have used money to cover trades, that's a big deal even for a small firm as bill said. >> and quickly, bill, this raises the question more broadly. we've had all this financial reform and now here we go again. >> as i said, no -- we have these laws, dodd-frank, a volcker rule that's supposed to be implemented. but in fact, no one has apparently learned anything. for jon corzine not to have learned the critical lesson of 2008 -- >> but he wasn't there. it's like he didn't have a seat at the table in 2008 so he's reliving it. >> our rules are not yet sufficient it appears. leigh, bill, thanks to both of you. we appreciate it. in a letter today, the u.s. department of justice asked alabama school districts to prove they are following the law when it comes to giving children equal access, regardless of immigration. nate valencia is following this. this comes on the back of the heels of basically schools being asked to verify whether children were legal or illegal. what information is the doj asking the state for? >> that's right, erin. this is just the latest clash between the federal government and states that have designed laws to step up enforcement against illegal immigration. on tuesday, civil rights division for the department of justice issuing a letter to the state of alabama school districts asking them to prove that they are not denying access for public education to students that have an immigrant status. among the things they are asking for in this letter is a list of students by ethnicity, by racial breakdown. they want to know how many students have officially withdrawn from the alabama school district. and one last thing, erin, they are asking for a list of all students that have enrolled or are part of english language training programs. erin? >> that's what they are going to give in those numbers tomorrow? that's your expectation? we'll get all of that? >> there's a list coming out from the alabama state department of education. it's very different from what the doj is asking the school districts to comply. i want to make this clear. the letter from the doj was sent specifically to the school districts, not to the department of education, which is very peculiar. we were on the phone earlier today with the spokesman for the state department of education, michael sibley. he's saying tomorrow the numbers that will come out do comply with what doj is asking for. without really being asked. what they are saying is they'll release numbers. average daily membership numbers. these lists may not really give a good look at what the doj is asking for because the state department of education mentions that students of immigrant parents often don't officially withdraw from schools, erin. they're often just -- they leave without going through that official process. what michael sibley with the state department did say, however is that we've had one rule and one rule only since the beginning of this debate. we'll comply with the law. students of all kinds are welcome in alabama schools. no matter what their ethnicity, no matter what their ethnicity is. >> thank you, nick. all eyes around the country are on this. obviously having big implications on employment, especially in the agriculture sector. more legal trouble for casey anthony. a woman claims she defamed her during her trial. then the emergency landing in poland. a flight that originated in newark. captain sullenberg is here for his take on the video. and we're introducing a new segment tonight. you will not want to miss the camel report. oh. but i did pick up your dry cleaning and had your shoes shined. well, i made you a reservation at the sushi place around the corner. well, in that case, i better get back to these invoices... which i'll do right after making your favorite pancakes. you know what?

"mr. bennett has not been in contact with the association. if we are contacted by mr. bennett, we will respond as appropriate." number two, bank of america officially backing off its plan to charge a $5 monthly fee for debit card use. we've been "outfront" on this story since the first week of our show, calling out the banks for punishing customers for these kind of fees. they are listening. bank of america's decision comes after a handful of national banks abandoned similar fees. number three, power slowly coming back to parts of the northeast hit hard by the weekend's snowstorm. connecticut light and power told "outfront" 100,000 customers have gained power in the past 24 hours. but there are still more than 650,000 customers without power, someone in each of the state's 149 towns. in massachusetts there are 3 00,000 outages 200,000 in new jersey. the number of deaths from painkillers has spiked in recent years. the cnn medical team looked over a cdc report for "outfront." 15,000 people died from painkillers in 2008, triple the number in 1999. the medical team also found doctors prescribed enough painkillers last year to give every american adult a pill every four hours for a month. it's been 88 days since the u.s. lost its top credit rating. what are we doing to get it back? nothing yet. in fact, the supercommittee heard testimony today that failure to find enough savings could trigger another downgrade. one place the supercommittee wants to cut is farm subsidies. within 24 hours, the congressional agriculture committees are expected to send the superguys, we hope they are superheroes and do their job. but they are supposed to get $23 billion in proposed cuts to american farms. did you know that the usda forecasts that farms in america will report record profits this year of nearly $104 billion? and that those farms, most of which are big, big businesses, will get $10 billion in direct taxpayer subsidies this year? the subsidies are supposed to keep our food inexpensive. but do they go too far? they are a big part of the reason we are the fourth largest exporter of rice in the world. with arkansas, california and louisiana, number one in rice in america. yes, america, a rice exporter. confused? we spoke to the farm bureau today and they told "outfront," "we believe we have to do something about the deficit problem in this country. we've said all along we're willing to do our fair share but not more than our fair share. our fair share would only be $8 billion and this is three times our fair share." referring to the 24 billion we said would be proposed tomorrow. thomas is the author of "the big handout." thanks for coming on. you've done a lot of work on this. i just want to ask you the bottom line question. how much is the american farm subsidies we talk about, the american farm bill costing taxpayers? >> well, the farm bill, you know, when you put all the subsidies together, you are talking about $1,500 per household in the united states, because that's about a $200 billion package. but where it gets really interesting is there's so many gnarly, squirrely subsidies that get thrown into this stuff. it's really difficult to nail anybody down on the exact amount that we're subsidizing anything. and that's the big fake in america today. >> and so overall, though, don't we save money? i guess it's supposed to be an issue of, yes, we subsidize them, but then we have more corn and more cows and -- actually, we have less cows but the point is meat becomes cheaper and food becomes cheaper. is that not true? >> in some cases, it causes retaliation by different nations. so we have higher sugar prices, famously. higher dairy prices, famously. and some cases, things like peanuts actually increase in price. so it depends on the food group. and it also depends on the cost to the farmer and then the cost at the shelf. two different things. and that's what people have to remember. you know, when we're subsidizing something at the front end, sometimes it doesn't come out the back end the same way. so we end up paying higher prices. >> interesting point. you've also done the research that when you have a farm policy that is protectionist, whether you like it or not, you end up in a situation where countries that naturally produce rice don't have as many markets because america is producing rice or countries like pakistan that produce cotton no longer have that source of income which can feed all the way through into things like terrorism, correct? >> oh, absolutely. and that's one of the most interesting things about this, because it has a boomerang effect. we actually pay cotton farmers in brazil with the american taxpayer dollars because we got nailed on subsidizing our cotton farmers so much and the same thing happens with rice. we subsidize our rice, which look for rice paddies in the united states. very curious thing. we call it miami rice in haiti and we shoved a lot of american rice down haitian throats and put a lot of farmers there out of business. they were forced to go deeper into poverty. president clinton several years ago actually apologized for that tactic. it happens all over the world. and as you pointed out, whether it's africa or the middle east or hot spots for terrorism, when all of a sudden you are out of a job and you are looking at the big u.s. as the guy who did it to you, you go, wait a minute, maybe we can do something about that and not a pretty way. so there's all sorts of things that happen all around the globe and it ties in from tariffs and protectionist policies like you just pointed out to actually subsidizing people on the ground here in the united states. >> all right. well, thomas, thank you very much. we appreciate it. and viewers, let us know what you think about this. whether we need to make a dramatic change to the subsidies and benefits we pay america's big farms. well, a polish airliner left from newark airport yesterday. and then it was forced to make an emergency landing today as it approached warsaw, poland. it is incredible video. the 220 passengers and 11 crew are safe. but what a ride they had. just look at this landing. you can see the boeing 767 skidding on a runway on its belly. 231 people on board. lot polish airlines operates the plane. the company says the landing gear got stuck after a hydraulic systems failure. that led to what many are calling a heroic landing. a man who knows a thing or two about airplanes and heroic landings, miracle landings, would be captain chelsea "sully" sullenberger. sir, thank you for coming on. i am just -- i can't watch that video enough. it is so amazing. you saw it. i mean, what do you think actually happened in that cockpit? was that a close call? >> well, hi, erin. great to be with you. i wouldn't call it a close call. it's certainly unusual. that may be the first time that all three landing gear have failed to deploy on a 767 in its 30-year history in service. it's important to have not only flying skills, but the skills necessary to analyze the situation, to develop a plan and then to lead the crew in the execution of that plan. and that's what led to this good outcome. >> and how did they actually manage this landing? i mean, was that that they would soak the runway down or how in practicality does the pilot realize there's a problem with enough time in advance to actually prepare a runway? >> i think they knew about this problem for some time. and they had, i think, over an hour and a half to prepare both on the ground and in the cabin for this emergency landing. so the flight attendants had time to review the location and operation of the emergency exits with the passengers, to inform them what the brace position was and those kinds of things. of course, the pilots would have been talking to air traffic controllers who were relaying this to airport authorities and getting the rescue equipment out there. >> is this something pilots train for and are prepared to have a situation where this happens? i know theoretically, it could happen. as you said, it's never happened before for a 767. >> i think we've had a partial landing gear failure on a 767 before, and this is something we have procedures for. and we might practice a few of the procedures in the flight simulator, but just as with a water landing, in our flight simulators, it's usually not able to replicate a completely gear up landing. you can approach the runway but not actually practice the landing itself. so this would have been a first for this crew. >> it's amazing. as we're showing now an angle from behind the plane and then we earlier had shown one from the side. clearly, you know, they were ready. they were filming this. this isn't amateur video. they were prepared. was this anything here, though, that brought back memories for you and your miraculous landing in the hudson? >> oh, of course. i think these things always remind me of that day. i'll never forget it. i was very grateful this also was a great outcome. and this required great piloting skill, too, because you have to remember, this is not like a normal landing. without the landing gear underneath you as you approach the runway to land, your eyes in the cockpit will be much closer, much lower to the runway. you have to account for that. and also without the ability to have the nose landing gear extended and be able to steer the airplane by steering the nose gear, the pilot's only ability to directionally control the airplane was with the rudder. as you slowed down, that rudder would become less effective. it was very important to touch down at exactly on the center line and maintain that alignment throughout the landing so you wouldn't go off the side. >> truly amazing. thank you so much. certainly the one person we'd want to talk to with an event like this. thanks again, captain. >> you're very welcome. good to be with you. tonight's outer circle, the world's leaders meeting, but there's a problem. and then, the latest details from the michael jackson death trial. conrad murray, he was deciding today whether he would testify. his decision. and casey anthony facing another legal problem. we'll be back. two of the most important are energy security and economic growth. north america actually has one of the largest oil reserves in the world. a large part of that is oil sands. this resource has the ability to create hundreds of thousands of jobs. at our kearl project in canada, we'll be able to produce these oil sands with the same emissions as many other oils and that's a huge breakthrough. that's good for our country's energy security and our economy. each day was fueled by thorough preparation for events to come. well somewhere along the way, emily went right on living. but you see, with the help of her raymond james financial advisor, she had planned for every eventuality. which meant she continued to have the means to live on... even at the ripe old age of 187. life well planned. see what a raymond james advisor can do for you. your core competency is...competency. and you...rent from national. because only national lets you choose any car in the aisle...and go. you can even take a full-size or above, and still pay the mid-size price. i'm getting an upgrade. [ male announcer ] as you wish, business pro. as you wish. go national. go like a pro. now through january earn a free day with every two rentals. find out more at nationalcar.com. dangerous plaque that can build up in arteries over time... high cholesterol is a major factor. but these other health factors can also contribute to plaque buildup. so if you have high cholesterol and any of these other health factors... it's even more important to get your cholesterol where your doctor wants. talk to your doctor about crestor. when diet and exercise alone aren't enough... adding crestor can lower bad cholesterol by up to 52%. and crestor is proven to slow plaque buildup in arteries. crestor is not right for everyone, like people with liver disease... or women who are nursing, pregnant, or may become pregnant. simple blood tests will check for liver problems. tell your doctor about other medicines you're taking... or if you have muscle pain or weakness. that could be a sign of serious side effects. ask your doctor about high cholesterol... plaque buildup... and if crestor is right for you. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. we do this at the same time every night, our outer circle, where we reach out to our sources around the world. first to nice. that's where we find our dan rivers. he's not there on a lovely french vacation. he's there out of the g-20 summit, where the most powerful world leaders are trying to solve the financial crisis. dan, what is the mood on the streets of nice? >> reporter: it's a bit noisy. protests here, nowhere near the actual g-20, parading through the streets of nice. there is an undercurrent of anger at what they perceive as cuts to public services to help bail out the banks and the bankers. erin? >> and thank you very much. next to istanbul where ivan watson is monitoring talks between afghan and pakistani leaders. it's all being brokered by turkish officials. the focus today on security. what did the president of afghanistan and the top pakistani general do? >> reporter: erin, afghan president hamid karzai credited these talks with saving relations between pakistan and afghanistan which he said had all but collapsed after last september's murder of former afghan president rabani in kabul. now both countries have agreed to share intelligence on the investigation into the murder. but turkish diplomats here say it was very important that the top pakistani military commander was present at these talks. he is seen by many to be the real power behind the pakistani presidential throne. >> thank you very much. now to missouri where the parents of baby lisa have hired another local attorney to represent them. they, of course, have an attorney in new york. jim spillman is in kansas city with more. what were police up to today? >> reporter: erin, kansas city police went to the home where the parents of baby lisa had been staying the last few weeks and brought in the brother of deborah bradley for an interview that lasted about two hours. they won't comment on what they asked or what the interview was about. just that this is an active and ongoing situation. new on the scene here in kansas city today is attorney john poserno. he replaces cindy short who left the case last week. no idea if this will signal a new strategy for the family. they've refused to speak to police for over three weeks. after 22 days of testimony and 49 witnesses, the case against dr. conrad murray has finally come to a close. the defense rested its case after murray stood before the court and told the judge he wouldn't testify on his own behalf. the state finished with one rebuttal witness and outside the courthouse, michael jackson's sister, la toya, said she was disappointed murray didn't take the stand. >> i wanted him to talk. i really did. i wanted him to testify. >> ted rowlands has been following the case from the beginning. ted, i just first want to -- you just came from outside the courthouse. la toya and katherine jackson both exiting. what was the scene like? >> reporter: now that this is coming to an end, things are ramping up like they were at the beginning of the trial. a lot of people coming to the courthouse. when the jackson comes and go, that's when they get out their bullhorns and really make a ruckus. i suspect once there's word of a verdict, it will be a madhouse in downtown l.a here. >> i can imagine. what about this whole issue? last night you were saying it may be conrad murray would testify, make a decision. he made his decision. was anyone surprised that he decided not to take the stand? >> reporter: no, not really. i think people were surprised yesterday when he told the judge he hadn't made his decision. it made everybody rethink, my goodness. is he going to change his mind here in the 11th hour? but this morning, he, after being asked once again by this judge, said, no, i'm not going to take the stand in my own defense. >> so now everybody has concluded their case. what is your overall sense after watching and watching the jurors of how quickly, i guess, would be the best way of saying it, how quickly we're going to get a decision? >> reporter: well, you know, it really depends on the jury make-up, who is the foreperson going to be. if they take a vote right away and they all agree, we'll see, obviously, a very short deliberation. there's only one count here. a lot of times, jurors have to decide, you know, six, seven, eight, nine, ten counts which automatically takes time. there's only one count here. the odds of a quick verdict very real here. of course, with any jury, if somebody doesn't agree with the others, this could stretch out. >> what about conrad murray himself? i know from your reporting and talking to you it's possible even if convicted, he may not end up serve anything jail time for this. what would be his next -- his next steps? i guess in both cases, whether guilty or if innocent, has he talked about his plans? >> reporter: if he's found guilty, he'll do some jail time. he may not have to go to state prison. he may be able to do his jail time in county jails. the maximum is four years here. probably 2, 2 1/2 years in california. if he's found guilty, he'll lose his medical license. if he's found not guilty, he still has a lot ahead of him. civil suits. and then he'll get a medical review boards in all of the three states he practices -- california, nevada and texas. >> thank you very much, ted. talk to you tomorrow. well, she has the right to remain silent, and that is exactly what casey anthony did for a total of 60 times during a deposition in a civil suit against her today. now anthony, you probably are well familiar, was acquitted of murder in july. but she is now being sued by a woman that claims anthony defamed her. she told police a nanny took her daughter caylee in july 2008. investigators found a woman with that name but she claims she never met casey anthony or her daughter. she said as a result of what casey anthony said, gonzalez lost her job, her home and received death threats. ryan smith is host of trutv and is "outfront" tonight. ryan, casey anthony acknowledged she was being sued, but i mean 60 times, she didn't say much else. >> reporter: nope. she didn't have much to say. she mentioned she hadn't spoken to her brother in six months and her parents in over a year. when you look at this, in a sense she doesn't have to offer anything in this case. even though they wanted to know about caylee, her family life, any particulars, she kept pleading the fifth throughout and didn't offer any information. her lawyer is concerned anything she says might incriminate her and been tried on murder, child abuse and lying to police, doesn't seem like there's a lot florida can do about her going forward but he wants to avoid anything coming from this. >> can she be forced to answer any questions like whether she met this woman, any questions at all? never mind ones about when's the last time you saw your daughter? >> reporter: i don't think so. i don't think -- maybe she can be questioned at trial and the question was what will she say there? if she reaches a trial, a big problem they have is they can't prove that this was the zanaida gonzalez that she was talking about. it could be anyone, the defense will say, unless she takes the stand and talks about that, she could not say anything about this or what happened to caylee. >> ryan, thank you. >> sure thing. all right. what does the average american family spend $2,000 on a year? we're going to tell you next. [ male announcer ] welcome to transamerica. where together, we're transforming tomorrow. it's the second career you always wanted. today's the day! and i've been looking forward to this for a long time. it's gonna be a big change. you ready? wow! just what i hoped for! just what you planned for. thanks! [ male announcer ] we're making people the tomorrows they always dreamed of. what can we make with you? transamerica. transform tomorrow. at bank of america, we're lending and investing in communities across the country, from helping to revitalize a neighborhood in brooklyn to financing industries that are creating jobs in boston or providing funding for the expansion of a local business serving a diverse seattle community and supporting training programs for tomorrow's workforce in los angeles. because the more we can do in local neighborhoods and communities, the more we can help make opportunity possible. the economy is still in bad shape. so it may shock you to hear that americans are giving, and generously. in 2009, americans gave an average $2,000 per household to charity for a total of $300 billion. that is the tip of the iceberg. laura ariaga joins us now. laura, what accounts for the incredible generosity, even during the worst slowdown, the great recession since the great depression? >> so, americans have the opportunity to express their personal beliefs and values through their giving. last year, over 63 million americans volunteered their time, for example. and that totals an excess of 8 billion hours. >> which is what, which is nearly 200 billion on top of the 300 billion? that's half a trillion dollars and where does that lot of that come from, individuals or coming from the big corporations that give to the united way and things like that? >> over 80% of giving, erin, comes from individuals. it is actually ordinary people with extraordinary generosity that drive american giving, and importantly, in giving 2.0, i redefine what a philanthropist is. a philanthropist is anyone that gives anything, time, money, expertise, networks or dollars in any amount. >> okay. so in your book, you talk about some of the more creative ways in the modern day that giving in small amounts is different because of technology. how? >> yes. "giving 2.0" is about making your giving matter more and using technology is an incredible force to democractize. it gives individual givers the opportunity to be not just charitable but rather strategic. not reactive but proactive because we have access to information, to giving opportunities, and we're able to self identify by the organizations and issues that we care about most through our social networks. >> the bottom line is you can use through time and use technology to target it better, to find the right way and place to give in a way you couldn't before? >> yes. absolutely. to move your giving from reactive to proactive. from sympathetic to strategic. >> which matters whether you give $10 or $100 million. you want to know the return on the donation. >> yes. every gift is equally important and making your giving more meaningful, both to the people and organizations you aspire to help and to yourself is ultimately the beautiful ripple effect that drives philanthropy. >> thank you so much. we appreciate it. >> thank you, erin. all right. pretty amazing how generous americans still are despite the financial crisis. we have a big day tomorrow and we are excited about it. we are going to have on gop presidential candidate newt gingrich as we
