good evening everyone. It's nice to be back in New York and back on the blog!

Hello Anderson, Erica and Bloggers.

Look who is back in the NYC studio....welcome home Anderson!

Looking forward to a great Tuesday show

Hi, Anderson and bloggers...

Ready to talk about Eldorado, The pope and and Obama plus Mr. Walker not at the same time, of course.

Great to have you back Coop! Looking forward to the pope segment, this polygamy story is just too depressing.

welcome back anderson! we've missed you a lot!

Was a tank really needed???

Good evening all.... yeah the pope, at last a politician of a different kind.

Anderson is here – the party can start

body armor, weapons? that seems excessive to me. were they really expecting those people to have a secret arsenal stashed away somewhere?

Hey Anderson! Looking forward to this evening's show!

Hi Anderson, Erica and bloggers

Great to have you back AC! Looking forward to the show tonight

Welcome back to NY, Anderson. Those images in the compound in El Dorado are unreal...

Hi Anderson!

Good to see you back in NY. Love the new tie.

Gary is making me nervous, please assure us that he is safe and is not being constantly harrassed. Poor Gary, and he is like the nicest guy ever!

The mothers of these children were victims themselves growing up in the sect. I don't think all the mothers should lose their children. Each case should be reviewed and a witch hunt avoided.

As much as I abhor how these polygamists live and the allegations, I believe these mothers when they say the police lied to them and tricked them when they removed the kids. Police do that to regular people on the outside too.

Hey Anderson, sounds like a great program tonite. A tank seems a little excessive.

They have every right to bring in all that protection in, the authorities would have no idea what exactly the compound could be equipped with. If they are crazy enough to allow children to be raped, they may be crazy enough to challenge the police.

Hundreds of lawyers for the kids, lawyers for the families, lawyers for the state....this is going to be expensive for the state of Texas.

They were just being prepared...remember Waco

Hi Anderson, Erica and bloggers!
Welcome back Anderson ! Missed you!

Remember – last night that woman Catherine – was concerned about her children seeing guns. She didn't even mention tanks. What gives with the tanks – they must have worried this could turn into another Waco Tx problem.

Do authorites know who called to say she was being abuse?

Seem these women seem to be nothing like Kathleen

Anderson I hope you did not catch anything on your plane. I heard a volcano erupted in Columbia.....guess it was upset you left but we needed you back here

Welcome home Anderson!

This whole thing with the ranch is incredibly creepy. It's way too rehearsed between the members, everyone says the same thing almost verbatim. It's just....weird.

They probably welcome the attention of people who are not treating them like property – people who actually want to know how they are thinking and feeling.

I'm glad at least 6 of the women chose not to come back.

Great to see you Anderson.... Looking good as ever!

the women don't HAVE last names in those cults. The reporter said he couldn't get any of them to tell him their last names. That's why none answered. You're not a "person" if you're a female in those cults. You're property....and broodmares.

Good evening, Anderson!

Hey there bloggers, and hello there, Erica. How are you doing? I'm looking forward to an interesting program tonight.:)

Those women...I feel sorry for them for they are so brainwashed. The authorities did the right thing in taking the kids away from that compound...they're just trying to protect them.

"Its not real common". Is that the defense? Even if thats true, one time is more than enough. I don't see the point in interviewing these wives, they have so many mental issues, its not like they have their own views to share.

OMG Terri – I was thinking the exact same thing. Somehow I feel this does not bode well.

Although I understand what David is saying, I cannot understand why there isn't supervised visitation for these children and the family.

Welcome back AC!! The polygamist women seem so weird and brainwashed..They act like they dont want any help from the government....

Hey guys! Are you going to do a story on the pope's visit?

Hello Erica from Portugal!
You look gorgeous tonight.
I love the 360 webcam.

These women are all dressed alike and have the same hair style. I am sure their pain as mothers is real, but their sameness is frightenng.

I don't get how something like this exists in the United States.

I am all for religious freedom, but where is the line?

I believe the American Psychology Associations guidelines for determining child abuse recommends that the child be removed from both parents when it is a parent who is accused of being the abuser. The children are more likely to give honest responses without the parents present.

I am against this whole issue – but looking at some of the women, does make feel that there could be a few exceptions to the norm. Some of these Mom's may really care about their kids.

I think the tanks were because they had no idea what to expect (especially with trying to remove 400 kids).

They didn't know if they would be in danger or not... so better safe than sorry I guess.

If i heard right the authorites had somebody working inside the compound as a undercover?

I agree with Megan O., Anderson......

more then 100 kids......DANG!!!!!!

so I guess it is happening up here in Canada too

These woman were probably" married" themselves at 14. They are just feeling society coming down on their lives and are no doubt going to go underground and hide for good.

Is Ms.Hill taking her vacation now? She's usually the first to comment

Thank GOD those children were rescued from the abusive cult.
This is a scary and dangerous situation.

Evening all!!

I realize these women sound like they are programmed but I'm sure this whole ordeal is overwhelming to them. I find it interesting that they are putting trust in the media, though.

Them saying "it's not that common" about 16-year-olds marrying only means that it DOES happen.

There comes the creepy picture of Jeffs! Weirdo!

I like the tie AC. I'm not so sure they really need weapons for women and children. The courts will be crazy on Thurs.

AJ from Minneapolis, I agree with you about the polygamist women seem brainwashed. They are out of it. It's like they don't have emotions and are like robots.

Frogive me folks, but I simply cannot begin to undestand how this is going on in America. This man has 2 dozen wives and over 100 children? Who supoports them all? Do 24 women take care of 100 children? If so how? This is so beyond words to me.

What I want to know is how do these men support their many wives and children? I just find that unbelievable.

Brian....Erica is there. she is standing by the big wall......got to love web cam

Hi EJ, and bloggers.......
How are you doing?
I am doing great!

Hi Coop!
The other day one blogger asked Erica something about politics, then she said she would never put her name on a ballot. Does reporting about the FLDS give you any feeling toward religion in general? Is it a journalist thing to feel indifferent towards the events covered, especially religion and politics?

I cannot understand why any of these women would have elected to leave there children behind. Visitation should be offered and maintained for the good of the children. To me its a type of abuse to put these children in the situation they are in. The mother's should not have been returned.

Were they given a choice of a) go back, or b) go to a shelter – were they offered a chance to see their children?

I agree with the young women, that if there are children who were not being abused – then this separation is a type of abuse.

I understand that this situation has come about because of the abuse but was this the best way this could have been handled.

This compound looks like some bizarre movie set. These women do sound deceptive, as though they are reading from a pre-prepared script. This looks like more than just a different lifestyle choice.

Unfortunately, Jeffs was not the only nutty one.

My heart breaks for those children who obviously have been subjected to much both with life in the compound and being removed from there.

Where are the men now in all of this? What happens with these kids?

Lilibeth, I was wondering the same thing.

Brandi down the bayou.> Thank you! I agree with you completely. I keep hearing sympathy for the mothers, but they are separated for the child's safety. If they were so concerned about their child's safety, they wouldn't let their sons and daughters go through all that.

Didn't someone, perhaps Gergen, mention last night that some authorities were members of the Church?

A man with over 100 children says "I'm not a very good Dad." Wow and to think he may still have more!!

" I realize these women sound like they are programmed but I’m sure this whole ordeal is overwhelming to them. I find it interesting that they are putting trust in the media, though."

I think they tune into tv and cell phones more than they want their "husbands" to know. They know the media is one way to fight a battle.

What is the difference between polygamy and adultery?

Why do these groups feel the need to marry underage girls?
A grown woman is one thing but these are barely teens.

I feel sorry for all the mothers who had their children taken away from them. Their world looks so shady who knows what happens to all the kids there.

Hey Megan D. – glad you are doing well!

Hello Erica! So good to see you and Anderson back in the same place. The best team ever! (just saying....) Now we just need some WWTT and The Shot and it will feel like home again.

Hi everyone. This story just seems more and more like a huge set up every day. The scripting, suddenly using the media for the cause, and the "poor me" victim roles...bleh. I think this is all just a diversion from abuse, breaking the law by engaging in polygamy, and perversion of religion for one's own gain.

Hi Erica!
Very interesting Stats on polygamist!
You are so cool girlfriend!

Hey anderson!! happy tuesday!

How can he be a good Dad. I think he would at least have to kow his children's names to be a good Dad, and I highly doubt he does. I wonder how much time he spends with them. Poor kids.

I guess very young girls are less likely to disagree with their husbands than more mature partners... it's about power and being the boss in a marriage, more a sign of immaturity in the men if you ask me

Ooh, we can't escape you with that webcam!
Evening, everyone

maybe they marry the underage girls b/c they are young and therefore "purer"

ENOUGH! Poor, pitiful mothers... who allow their children to be raped by old, nasty men. Give me a break. Why even run this side of the story? What do you expect the law to do? Who will come to the aid of these young women? What is going on in the world today? Yes, many questions...but again the Pope is here for a reason.

pati mc–this totally shocks me too! I can not believe this is so wide spread. It is so wrong. I just can not understand these women but I guess if you're born into it and haven't been exposed to the outside world, but what about the families we've heard about where the children go to public school and some of the "wives" go to work...that I just to not get.

Anderson you really do love to spin your blackberry.....is it like a nervous habit???

Pati, we are paying for all these kids. It is legalized welfare plus food stamps etc. Plus under federal tax law all of these preachers and prophets have very special tax laws. Basically they pay less than most all of us on the blog! Happy Tax Day!

The fellow from Bountiful DID make a valid point with the adultery vs polygamy comparison. We must be mindful of other's beliefs, and keep the best interests of the children at the heart of everything that is done.

I've been softening my heart towards the women of Eldorado, because they must be going through such anguish, as are their children.

Hi Anderson!
You are so cool too!
I can't wait to hear about the Pope and the sexual abuse scandal~
I hope he addresses the issue!

In looking at the polygomist sects, especially after the comments of one of the wives yesterday about her 'college degree', what education do these children/wives received? If they are getting college degrees, from where, in what? If these people were really educated, would many still be there?

Thanks! EJ.......

why is it that these big men can father dozens of children and keep these women in control and when a raid happens or their children are taken they are nowhere in site?

Polygamy is a distasteful way of men using their so-called religion to marry more than one woman. This is just another way that polygamist men have gotten around the laws of only marrying one woman; in other words it's just an excuse to 'cheat' with other women by saying their religion allows it. I'm glad the Texas authorities raided the FLDS ranch and they should also investigate all the others around the country.

Not sure if you can see the frost on the webcam but it is FREEZING in the studio – I'm grabbing some more hot water, brb.

Brian Persaud: Gary mentioned that FLDS members worked for local law enforcement.

Brian P. : why ? because they grew up believing this is the right way to live! it's as simple as that.

What the polygamist feel to realize is that no one cares if they practice their religion, the general public is just concearned with the abuse, marriage, and births of the underage girls.....

Hi everyone.
I'm from Texas and definitely not a Polygamist...but I lived in San Angelo, TX at the time the ranch in Eldorado was started.

Brian P

I am worried for the children being separated from their parents and the effect this will have on them. If some of them were not being abused they have been now – emotionally.

Please remember that these women are a product of this cult and have no authority or identity of their own. They must do as they are told to satisfy the whims of men and they are brainwashed to believe this is an acceptable way to live their lives.

"Shepherd One" Good one Anderson!!

I am not Cathloic but I understand the importance of his visit and it is always great when he can come to North America. I know John Paul came to Toronto shortly before his passing

Michael polygamy is one form of adultery

Sad, sad state of affairs for the children. The system thinks the parents have abused them, the parents think the state is abusing them .. poor little kids, they have no idea whats going on but methinks they will be traumatized for years to come.

the pope deciding the US elections? that's rather sad...why can't the US get over religion?

How come there isn't a religion that is just the opposite. One woman has 10 husbands or should I say "brother husbands"!!!!

You have to watch what you're doing Erica! We can see you lol!!

Did I mention AC360 rules!

Freezing in the studio? What happened?

Erica~
Cold in the studio? Is that to keep down bacteria?

elisa, NY> Or because these men have no chance finding a woman in the real world, so they have to brainwash children .

Why does the Pope wear red shoes?

Thanks Terri and Renee. Sheesh. I was afraid of the whole welfare issue. I truly have no words.....

Erica.....is it so cold that even Anderson is drinking hot water

Why you are welcome Brian! The simple presence of either parent could sway the childs reaction to a question. I actually believe the APA backed that up with some research too, its on their web page.

Also, if these are the beliefs of everyone on the ranch, then all the children are in danger, they may not have been abused yet, but it will come if they are left there. Their society may not fit the "norm" and they may have freedom of religion, but to abuse another human being is inexcusable, no matter what religion.

i was so surprised to hear that the FDLS came to Canada in the 1940's. And also, none of the men are being interviewed... weird.

I have to say, although I do not agree with the underage marriages or any kind of maltreatment to children in any culture or situation, I can't say that these kids are in any better hands with CPS!

Hey Anderson and Erica, who's controlling the webcam??? You're not even in the frame right now! How's about giving all us "bloggers" (such a stupid word) a wave on the webcam (once it's back on you!)??

Oh wow the FLDS. This is just too sad. I grew up about 30 miles outside of Colorado City, AZ and so I have had quite a few experiences with the ppl of the FLDS faith. They are doing what they have been told to , keep sweet and quite. This is so they don't have further actions taken to them. And the stats just shown. K so the poverty levels are quite off. They WORK the system. The majority have the nicest cars around. Keep up the good work and YEAH that Anderson is back

Erica, Toronto has quite a chill going on as well. But the days are clear & nice, so the nights must be clear and cool.

Wow, I thought those people in Texas were strange. Then I saw all those men wearing strange clothes kissing some man's hand. Very odd.

Bonnie,
There is, its called Hollywood!!

Hi Erica,
you are so great! Thanks for information FLDS..........

I've been watching these interviews with the "mothers" in Texas, and it begs the question: "Where are the fathers?" Putting the women out to spin the public seems even more suspicious when the men seem to be invisible. And, of the women I've seen interviewed, I have seen no tears – even though some have tried to simulate "tearful distress". Yes, their answers are extremely evasive and suspicious, to say the least. I sincerely hope that the state of Texas does the right thing by these children, and I doubt that sending them home will be the "right thing".

Erica, your getting more hot water for Tea or Hot water bottle?

This Pope doesn't seem to have the charisma that John Paul had.

I actually think it's good that the Pope is addressing the issue directly... the church used to always have a tendency to just stay silent on any wrongdoings perpetrated by priests before

I truly agree with those who think the Pope's visit and comments are too little too late regarding all the pedophile priests.

Erica: When my assistant drinks hot water she calls it "pretend tea." ie: no caffeine It has been pretend tea for 10 years at my office.

Just wondering.....is anyone feeling a Lifetime movie out of this sect set in TX? I feel it coming with Lindsey Wagner as "head mom." Let's have Rocky play the head FBI officer.

The Vatican plans visits to fit their own politics. This trip to America is no exception. Bet on it.

I disagree with how the FLDS lives, but why are these children being taken away from their mothers and questioned outside of the presence of their parents? Was all of this the result of an anonymous call into the police? I think that there is more to this story and a good Constitutional or Civil Rights attorney needs to represent the mothers and children of FLDS. Their rights are being violated based on an accusation. Anderson, call Barack Obama!

I think the government of Texas probably was correct. But, I think there method of going in there like tough guys was probably counterproductive and traumatic to the kids. Also, if the kids are eventually taken away and put in foster care that may actually be worse. We treat our pets in this country better than we treat kids in foster care.

It's acutally always cold in studios - need to keep the temp down b/c there is a lot of sensitive equipment in here and the lights get v. hot. Some nights it just feels colder than others...must be because it's Spring. Did you ever notice your office is always colder in the summer and the air is cranked up?

About polygamy. Doesn't the Bible say in the New Testament that one man should be joined with one woman, I'm not so sure. If that is true then that would make polygamy adultery and a sin. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Also is AC married, I just noticed his silver hair and realized I haven't heard him talk about kids before.

Has anyone ever considerd the fact that the "cult members" are all related to each other? The women shown sure look all pretty similar and is no one concerned about incest and the problems it can bring by reproducing within the same extended family?

i believe the polygamist should allow exposure to the "outside world"and if afterwards their followers are still with them,then they are genuine,not locking them up without a choice,.if they only knew better they will choose otherwise.

I don't think the Pope's statement does much to heal the wounds the priests have inflicted. A good first step would be to stop punishing church goers by closing so many churches. Yes money may be short, but it's because they don't excommunicate these priests. They should not be allowed to stay in the priesthood after committing such acts.

hey anderson! keep up the great work

Megan O – I am laughing so hard that I almost fell off the sofa! LOL. Anderson drinking hot water. Ha ha ha! Reminds me of his Nth Degree! Love it!

Even if a person could condone others for choosing their "right" to polygamy one has to consider the probable "inbreeding" that may be occurring in these sects . With one man having many wives-and those wives having many children. what is the chances that one wife would have a son and a different wife (same husband) would have a daughter and those two end up marrying or consumating?? they would both have the same father???! THIS thought is as disturbing as any of the multiple wives. The chances of inbreeding going on in those communities is higher than in normal society. and its probably happening and has happened. something to think about when people are making their decisions on whether or not this is even healthy for our society or the individuals living in that sect. This can't be healthy for those children to grow up and have a sibling as a possible partner. they only marry or have sex with the people in their own sect. and many many of them share the same fathers....

First time commenting!!
Love the show Mr. Cooper!
jared

Michael in Lafayette, they kiss the papal ring that he wears on his right hand LOL

What are we going to do with all these children? Are they old enough to tell us what it is they want for themselves? I myself could never imagine living like this but how do you help these girls and boys? The law is one thing but the truth of what these children feel and know is something very different. If they are really that closed out of the rest of the world then were do we start?

What I found most interesting in this polygamist case is the acceptance of the women towards the practice. Quite clearly the misogyny is going un noticed in their minds. I especially found the report on Bountiful, BC interesting as in is only a few hours away from my hometown of Kelowna.

Where are the young teenage boys. Are young men allowed to marry. This has not be reported.

Anderson,
I'd like to see a story about how the children are being treated, what legal rights the children have beyond "representation by attorneys", where they are being housed, schooled and emotionally supported.

Second, how about a story about the missing fathers?

Thanks!

The millionaire polygamist's question, "Is polygamy worse than adultery?", was an interesting end to that interview. food for thought. How much damage has been done to families and children because of that? Granted, children (16 and under) being involved in any santified(?) sexual practice just wrong.

The timing of the Pope's visit is somewhat uncanny...what with all the politics going on here...

Really freeze in studio......... oh you need a heater, it will help you warm.........

Lesli, yes, these women are a product of a cult and have no authority or identity of their own. They are brainwashed to believe that this is acceptable, and that is why it is important that they are separated from their children. They are a risk just as much as the men that have trained them to think that it is acceptable.

Pope Benedict's red shoes are his fashion statement, specially designed for him like all his wardrobe. He is definitely about fashion.

Erica: why aren't you allowed to sit? he stole your chair!

LOL Bonnie–I think women don't want more than one husband because it would create way too much laundry. Plus think of what the bathrooms would look like in your home if you had 2-10 husbands. Yeesh!

Say what you will but my guess is the Pope will attract big crowds while here in the US so he has a presence.

The financial base to support the polygamist sects has to be huge. Where and how is this capital developed and how does this much money continue to stream into the organizations?

Renee, I drink a lot of "pretend tea" - I'm always cold

Great job Always.

Megan O.> Thanks! The Megan's are always so well informed.

Jo Ann, Ohio> Ok thanks! Wanted to make sure I got my facts right.

Lesli> I think if they stay with their mother's, the brainwashing will continue, during a time where authorities really need to hear the truth. I think everyone in the compound has been abused, both mothers and children, there is no question. But eventually these children will have to be thrown into the real world if they ever want to assimilate into society. At least these young girls have a chance of adapting, these grandmothers on the other hand...I'm not so sure.

Jennifer,

That's my point. The guy said that polygamy was better than adultery, but to me it is the same.

Michael

I find it interesting that it has taken so long for the authorities to go in and rescue these children–that being said it only took Texas four years and yet Arizona and Utah have done nothing....Good on you Texas. It's not the act of polygamy that concerns me its the abuse of women and children and the rape and forced marriages of young underaged children with old men...After all what's the point in going into countries such as Afghanistan to free women from such enslavement brought on by the Taliban and yet we allow this to happen in First world countries like America and Canada...

i live here in eldorado and it is awful to think bout all those kids i just hope the ones that stayed behind with there children doesnt want to go back and from what i heard it was there discussion to stay with there kids or to go back to the compound it makes me sick to think that women aka mother's would thinks it ok to let things happen to there babies i have lived here for 3 years and never heard nothing bout the compound just that they are there and that people was lied too saying the land was bought for deer huntingbut now its a compound but, you can tell everything they say is well thought out but yet they want there stories heard why be so secretive i dont understand

Alful plane crash in the Congo. So sad that their lives are so hard.

Sam, They don't "accept" it as much as they are frightened into compliance. They are told they will be kicked out and never see their families again, that they will not get into "heaven." This "cult" is all they have ever known.

I hate the cold........you should keep a sweater or a wrap on the set for when your not on

Erica, why is it so cold in there? I guess you won't be sharing your hot water with Anderson. I've heard he doesn't like hot liquids. Weirdo. Kidding! Heh.

Have the keys frozen on Anderson's laptop? Where are you Anderson?

Love the new web cam! Thanks guys! Gives us a look at what goes on behind the scenes! Erica and Anderson You guys are awesome and do some great reporting! Thanks keep it up!

How long was Warren Jeffs wanted? If the FLDS can hide him for so long, with everyone looking for him, how difficult would it be to hide the girl. They are now saying that she was from the compound, but not currently, if I heard her right...

Yikes, Monica! Hollywood?

I am Catholic and i am still not happy about this Pope visit. He scares me don't know why.

Don't agree with FDLS and polygamy, hard enough too keep one wife happy.

CPS in Texas uses tactics from the 1936 to 1945 time frame. My son and his family were devistated and lost every thing because of annomus information on the 1-800 line.

CPS in Texas is exempt from prosicution or retribution.

What is "pretend tea" Erica?

As a Catholic, who loves my Pope. I for one do not feel as if all of these so called sex abuse cases are real. The church would not defame the "victims" in anyway but I would. The easy way to make a dollar now a days is to cry sex abuse against a priest. Reminds me of all the allegations against day care centers back in the day. Remember almost all were unfounded, but a lot of people were ruined.

are those snowmen in your studio Erica?? hahaha

Cool image of Jesus in the window. I believe in divine signs~~Don't you?

LOL. Missed all the fun stuff lately. So let me guess, the Beat 360 pic was taken in the studio?

hmm so wait Erica, you literally just drink hot water?

Hmmm. "Pretend Tea." Is that the same stuff you carry in a flask?

"LOL Bonnie–I think women don’t want more than one husband because it would create way too much laundry. Plus think of what the bathrooms would look like in your home if you had 2-10 husbands. Yeesh!"

Oh no – you have it all wrong. You have to *train* all of them to do exactly what you want them to do. Otherwise, what's the point?

Glad to hear the plane crash in the Congo was less severe than originally reported.

pictures of Jesus Christ? what's all this fascination of with the underworld in the US all about?

Tammy, I don't think that's the real reason they are red but good try. I think that they must symbolize something. Religions like symbols.

Maybe Prada only make red shoes

Andrea

I understand the separation, but as I said there is no reason there could not be supervised visitation.

Lesli

not sure why my little photo isnt popping up next to my comments. Hmmm.. i have photo envy.

Don't worry, Minou - Kevin always brings the chair back. We get rid of it for my shot...

Erica, you're right...my office feels colder in the summer. I always keep my jacket on, even in the summer. Sounds weird, but if I don't do it, I can't function. LOL!

Erica, I love tea. Get some of those tea bags without strings and then you can have real tea on set. No one will be the wiser.

lol! Pati and Minou!!! very funny ladies!

Erica -nice to see you dance to the cheesy Beat 360 music even when the camera isn't on you!

i agree with michael: polygamy is the same as adultery, you just aren't married to the other person...maybe.

Roger - it's hot water. Renee said that's what her asst calls hot water

When this all started I liked Hillary, but favored Obama. As this contest is progressing, that liking has turned to disdain. I have no doubt she wants to be president. I do, however, doubt her sincerity to "help the people."

Hey, Erica, I have a question. Has the 'What were they thinking' segment been removed from the program? I liked that segment. Just curious.

Most of the polls I've seen today are not exclusive to the period AFTER Obama made the remarks.

Rose~
The Pope scares you because John Paul was a hard act to follow

Even in a free society it is surprising what is allowed to exist under the guise of religion.

AC> You type like Anderson...but I can't be sure...

... for all these women know, they are following the will of God as described in the Old Testament....maybe that's why they make their own clothing, harvest their own food, isolate themselves from a society that they consider dangerous and corrupt

What's going on? Where is the Constitution? Where is heart for the children and mom's? Do you really only want to believe the sensational and that these people are so different? I work in Colorado City. I'm a teacher, a Catholic, and I thought, a liberal. I'm offended by everything the state of texas has done. Anderson, what is the story behind trying to get public opinion to side with this heavy hand by a State Government?

thanks Brian.....your comment made me laugh

Erica I am always cold too.....they think I am odd at work but I'm not...I am just cold

Remember statistics can be manipulated to say anything you want them to and polls are no exception to that rule. I don't believe in them because of that. They aren't necessarily true samples of the US population.

Lesli, yes, I suppose you are right. I actually do sympathize with them as a mother.

"As a Catholic, who loves my Pope. I for one do not feel as if all of these so called sex abuse cases are real. The church would not defame the “victims� in anyway but I would. The easy way to make a dollar now a days is to cry sex abuse against a priest. Reminds me of all the allegations against day care centers back in the day. Remember almost all were unfounded, but a lot of people were ruined."

WOW – what a statement!

I don't agree with that – but wow what a statement. I don't think most victims who came forward were lying. What many of them had to go through was excruciating – especially the men!

Anderson, you were gpone for so long, they need to re-upload your pic

Ugh oh Anderson. Let's hope you were not gone too long! Erica is taking over! LOL. I say you come back with a bigger photo.

CNN should have had these report back in January before everyone got to vote.

Why is that you American's – in this case Obama say things like

"In no other country on earth would my story be possible"

Excuse me – as a Canadian I always feel put down by these comments.

Anderson – Where's your mini picture?

Erica Is that bright light alway on? Even when your not on the air?? Its very bright!

Anderson, great seeing you do a piece yourself. We miss you doing reports.

oh Barack Obama was such an adorable kid.

I am reading Barack's book "Dreams From My Father" right now. It is such a great book. Everyone should read it, it really gives insight to Barack.

Great piece Anderson can't wait to see the other candidates pieces

Maybe you need some tea too for that photo envy Anderson? Hey, how come you don't capitalize your name in the right places? Is that a tribute to t.s. elliot?

That is great news for Hillary Clinton new polls than Barack Obama!
49% Clinton 43% Obama.

Christine – what percentage of the allgegations of sexual abuse do you believe arent real? And what do you make of the church admitting not only the abuse, but a systematic effort to hide the abuse for years? Do you believe they are simply making that up?

It must really be freezing in the studio, because the blog and webcam keep freezing up on me.. Or, it could just be my computer...

Hillary! Why aren't you on AC360?! Accept, accept, accept!

Thanks for this profile of Obama. I look forward to the profiles of Clinton and McCain too.

Pretend tea~ Herb??? Which herb are you drinking Erica?

Tasha, catch up.

Kimberly, you are exactly right. By isolating themselves the way they have, they have severely limited their gene pool, which over time, does tend to produce more genetic mutations among the offspring.

This produces similar effects as those seen in small isolated villages all over the world. Of course, they are much more remote than Texas.

Photo envy-There's something Freudian there I'll leave alone

@Betty Ann-I believe in signs, too.

I would also like to know where the fathers are. Why were they left on the ranch or wherever so they could slip under the radar?

how dare anybody call Obama elitist with what we're all seeing?

Anderson and Erica,

First, I would like to say that this this blogging thing is great! It gives people other perspectives on the subjects that we feel passionately about.

These comments that Barack made are old news. I feel like Hillary has taken this election to a teenage school girl's fight on the playground. It just goes to show you that when things don't go her way she starts twisting comments, what's she going to do next, kick him in the shins and go tell on him?

don't worry Anderson
i'm sure the nice tech guys will get your avatar back for you

And OH Yes! Are they deceptive? Wouldnt you be if you thought your children were kidnapped and might not be back! Especially if you have done nothing???? And lets not forget they are limited to what they say and cannot say as they are and will be represented by a lawyer. Are people this naive?

Tasha

hahahaha....are you implying that marriage and children cause silver hair!? hahaha...My husband agrees with you...hahaha

Hello all.

Sorry to just jump in, but Brian Persaud, what do you suggest for the children instead? There are SO MANY of them. I know the brainwashing is terrible, but ultimately, ALL parents have a certain amount of control over their children. When they're adults, they'll be able to make their own decision whether or not they WANT to assimilate into society. I know polygamy is illegal, and I do not personally approve of it (at ALL), but taking the children away from everything they know and throwing their lives into chaos? I don't know if it's better.

Then again, in this situation, I can't really see a clear CORRECT direction to take. It's just sad from every angle.

Bonnie – I would LOVE to have 10 husbands, maybe something would get done around the house, but with my luck they all would be duds

Jana, Indiana: I agree with you! I think Anderson's strength is in his reporting.

So Anderson when can we expect to see another report from you?

Obama is still my third choice out of three. I just don't see him as tough or strong.

Watching the Obama segment I fail to see how he can be an elitist. Hillary please explain further. Worse, people are actually taking it in, I mean c'mon

Anderson~Don't worry about your little photo. You are doing a good web job.
Does Weeby mean anything? Did I spell that right?

What would the church have to gain from admitting something if it never happened? Their hand has been forced, because there is no way it can be kept quiet anymore... Maybe it happens more in Catholicism because of celibacy, I guess, although adult relationships have been tolerated for years if they are not too obvious

Thank you Anderson, I would like Christine to answer that as well.

Obama did ok for himself considering his background.

Lesli> I have a ton of respect for Canada! Especially on the gay marriage thing. I think saying “In no other country on earth would my story be possible" is offensive to...any other country right? Maybe its patriotism?

I can't believe it has taken this long. Abuses in the cult have been known and talked about for over 25 yrs. that I can remember. And yet no one does anything. Not when young girls are given to old men to rape. Not when young boys are expelled from the cult so they don't compete for said young girls. Not when children do not go to school.

In this country it is fine to believe what you want. Even if it is a cult. Have as many children as you want. But it is not your right to abuse. Nor is it a right to abuse the rest of us. By that I mean, these "men" have one legal wife. The rest are "single" and they and their children many many times are on the welfare system. Have as many kids as you want but ... pay for them.

Even LDS familys that are not into polygamy can't support their children, you and I do.

Megan O., Today, at the university, I was discussing the election and one of the people present said "Everything we know about Barrack Obama came from the book he wrote."

Probably a good thing Anderson's airing this story on each of the candiddates.

Good point Anderson.
Why double standards? One for the church and one for the temple........
In no way I support what the men do at Eldorado but it definitely makes me wonder WHY.

i do not get how you can call a man who grew up with with a single mother and then grandparents "elitist"

he is like most average Americans I know....questioning who we are?

Anderson, love the tie!

Erica, hope you are warming up with your water, what's AC doing to warm up doesn't he not drink hot things?
Brian P, that's a good point but even at 14 i'd have know those dudes were creeps-lol. i know it's all how you are raised and about obediants and i'm not blaming the kids by any means by saying that btw. Do you think the kids'll have to be deprogrammed?

I think the old saying 'the truth will set you free" would have
been a better way to go with the sex abuse charges. The Church would
have been better off admitting it early on, doing something about it
and people would be able to move on and heal.

Christine

I beg to differ. Perhaps some of these cases are just made up, but there has been proof that these things have happened. Imagine if only one in ten women come forward after being raped then what percentage of men come forward after being abused as children. I'll be the number is even smaller say one in twenty?

If only half of the cases are real this was still a very big problem, and because it was so hidden it was allowed to continue.

Anderson, I feel the Catholic church has been treated badly, I would like to know how many preists there have been and the number of abusive one and see what percentage it is...I bet if you were to look into other religions or any profession you would find most have a similar number of abusers.

Never heard "I loves my pope" before!
I just like his shoes.
Otherwise, the church disgusts me. They actively work to cover up the damage and abuse inflicted upon children. I remember Thomas Roberts' "Sins of the Father" piece and my view of the church has never been more clear.

Michael,
Anderson is having problem his picture or blog or computer, He will reload tomorrow, I hope.

Hi Anderson, Great to see you back!. Hi Erica you did a great job of doing the show Friday night when Anderson was away, hope they let you do the show on your own more often when Anderson's away, you were much so much better then the fill-in!

"Obama did ok for himself considering his background."

No kidding eh? lol

He is amazing to me.

erica helped me figure out how to get my picture back. Erica is much more computer savvy than i am.

What I like about Obama is that he actually knows about dealing with different cultures and living in another country and that his biography reflects what he is speaking about

With this old world of ours getting smaller by the day I think Obama's upbringing may make him a very sensitive and aware chief exec. For years I've thought America needs two presidents .. 1 for domestic issues and 1 for foreign affairs .. with Barack maybe 1 will do after all.

I do not agree with a religion that promotes polygamist marriage; however, I fear that a dangerous precedent is being set, when mothers and children can be separated by the state. It seems to me their rights are being violated. What a horrible experience for them. Will they be offered counseling for post traumatic syndrome?
Where is the girl that claimed she was raped and beaten? Remove that young women from her "husband", and leave the children with their mothers, in homes where they are comfortable and loved.

What a travesty of justice! Will Christian parents be next or the Amish? Are homeschoolers going to be persecuted? Where does interference with the family stop?

I always found it interesting how much Obama struggled with his racial identity. I am half black but I grew up in a white family and town, but I always felt racialy secure because of my diversity. I guess it really matters on how a person looks at it.

Anderson...you don't need a picture to let us know you are here.

Katie> Oh I agree with you. But like you said, what is the correct way to handle this situation? I don't think there is any good option, its just the better of many evils. But for the time being, during investigations, I really do feel like the children should be separated .

Christine, I think it's great that you have a faith and you admire the Pope, but those kids who are now adults really were molested.

People do not put themselves through such public exposure of such a shocking nature unless something real happened. Plus, most of the priests were serial abusers. They didn't just do it once-like textbook pedophiles they went from one victim to another.

I thought those former victims who came forward were some of the bravest people I've ever seen in my life. They took on the whole, giant church, the legal system, and Catholics like you who didn't want to hear it.

Let's hope it's done now and the church has learned its lessons.

Hillary won't come on AC 360?
Why is that Anderson?

Nice report, Anderson.

Are you saying in your report that Senator Obama spent "a few years" as a community organizer? I thought he said he spent many more years than that doing so.

Can anybody tell me why Barack would lie about how his parents met? He said they met at a march in Selma, AL in 1965. He was born in 1961.

Erica is so smart....must be from her Tech TV days
you go girl

Yeah! Erica figured out the photo thing for Anderson!

With all those obstacles Barack faced look at the wonderful individual he has become! All of this came about when he realized who he was. Go Obama!

FInally!!!! Anderson's picture here now! see him! Yay!

well considering Erica used to report for Tech TV...
i'm not surprised she figured it out
feel better Anderson?

Erica, great job about the picture!

hahaha... we all love the picture of you, anderson. it lights up the blog-o-sphere. lol

haha I hear ya Anderson, it took me 26 minutes to figure out how to change the formatting on Microsoft word today...

Anderson, I was getting worried about you. It's so great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to see you back on the air. Missed U Much.

OK, Seriously! Tell buddy to stop messing with the webcam...now we're looking at some big dude in a white striped shirt...no offense to him but I think Erica's a little easier on the eyes..haha....

Hey AC and EH just wonderin if u heard about one of Dr.Phil's producers bailin out one of those girls fromFlorida beat up that other girl for a youtube showing. Just wanted to know wat u thought about that and if u'e heard of it??

Great story Anderson. I support Obama. I think he has what it takes to bring this nation together; to unite it once again. Bush has definitely divided this nation by beginning a war that has killed over 3,000+ U.S. Troops alone and have caused major problems around the world. The rest of the world practically hates the U.S. for this. Obama brings along diversity with his campaign as well as a strong sense of accomplishment . Not all presidential candidates, I believe, need to have experience. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.

I am a Social Studies teacher. I have watched the politics of the day with fascination. One vocabulary term students is learning is mudslinging. The same tactics that were used when Adams was running against Jackson. I marvel at how history truly repeats itself.

But Anderson, Erica may be more computer savvy than you but you are the "blackberry" guru. Am I right? You do a mean twirl...:)

Oh. PLEASE get AC his photo back!! lol We dont want him to have photo envy, it could damage him emotionally for the rest of his life! lol

Brian, again, you are right, the younger the child is, the more recovery made and the easier it is on them. I would rather see them removed now, at the young ages, than when they are older after long term abuse has occurred.

Oh, not sure who this one is for, but all those women have the same thing as everyone else in this world, FREE WILL. They choose to let their children be abused and to accept it.

I think that Obama represents the cultural diversity that makes up our country. He represents how the future will be and never once have I heard how his campaign has hit financial troubles. That should be a indication on a small scale how he should help manage the country finance-wise.

The candidates have started airing commercials here in NC and interestingly Obama's is not completely truthful. Hillary's is though.
Can't wait to see what else they have in store for us over the next several weeks before the primary.

Anderson, your piece on Obama was terrific. I assume you will do the same for the others and I cannot wait to see them. It's been tfar too long since you have done a report like that. Love it.

elisa, NY> Haha thats true! Lol.Yeh, I definitely think they will need to be deprogrammed. I see lots of therapy in the future of all these young women.

Anderson, Glad to see you got your photo back. Now I know it is "really" you.

Thanks for profiling Sen. Obama. There was so much about him I didn't know. He has lead a fascinating life.

I look forward to McCain's and Clinton's profiles this week.

Cool Erica! I am so proud of you help Anderson's picture back on his blog! good job! thanks Erica!

In the interest of full disclosure, it took me a few tries to fiind all the snappy links to get the pic on the blog

your honesty is refreshing Erica

Yes, Erica, but you figured it out! That's the important thing...

Erica~Thanks for helping Anderson with the computer. I always ask my kids~~:-)

Barak seems much like a Rubiks Cube . . . one keeps twisting it over and over yet it is extremely hard to get it solved

so getting AC's avatar was random smart-ness on Erica's part
'nough said
lol

A man in a hurry to get to that next office......interesting quote.

Anderson, your forgot to mention that Obama ran against Allan Keyes in the Senate election he won. In fact, Keyes jumped in because there was no one else to run against Obama.

i agree that there is wrong doing in the catholic church, as there is in most large orgs, but not all of them do cover ups and not every priest is a child molester. like every thing else i think people need to be aware of the issue but not blame everyone or give up hope in the whole church

Obama always has nice ties too.

Erica is definately the blog hero for tonight!!!

Senator Obama is running for president and the fact that there are so many negatives coming out of closets says a lot about his character. The story of Larry Sinclair in which there are allegations of Senator Obama’s lude and inappropriate behavior seems to be one of those things coming out in the internet. However the media and the press, which have a responsibility to report and inform American citizens of pivotal information that affects our very day life, failed to question a candidate who strives to be one of the most powerful leader for this election.

You'd better figure out how Anderson. Lord knows what Erica might Photoshop to you next time. (lol). You were missed terribly, but I'm glad you took a well deserved vacation in Lindo Colomibia.

Great piece on Obama, I learned somethings about the senator I didnt know prior to the segment, Keep up the good work AC #1 Cable News Show hands down

Anderson,

Good to see that Erica helped you get your photo back. Photo envy can lead to bad things.

Anderson,
I agree with Jolene............ she is right, I see you have blackberry than computer.......

Anderson

If you think you've taken a lot of flack for being pro Obama before, this piece may just cement it for the Clinton supporters.

I'm glad Obama has done so well for himself, but as his wife said – he has been given much and much is expected. He was given much and he has succeeded because he is smart and personable. He must have had a great grandmother to raise such a great young man.

I still don't feel he is ready. I still feel he is all talk and no experience and this could be costly to the American people. Do Americans really want a baby politician cutting his teeth in the White House because they are tired of the corruption and the status quo?

Obama's older daughter looks like his mother. BTW really sharp tie tonight Anderson

anderson thank you for all the good work you are doing

I think you're just being modest Erica. Well, it's been nice chatting with y'all. I must go take my son on an "urgent" errand. Have a nice evening!

Hey Anderson!
Thank"s for the piece on Obama, it made a big impact on my voting decision. now that I know him better I think I will vote for him, he represents what America is about.
He is sooooooooooooooooooooo smart; And can become America's Sexiest President.

An interesting piece on Obama.

Ok... So I was supporting Clinton, but I think I'm making the switch back to Obama once again...

He did go silent on the war after he was in the Senate. Anderson, you are providing some very interesting insights into this candidate!

Nice piece on Barack Obama – haven't seen any photos from his youth.

Regarding the sexual abuse issue – how can you possibly be suspect of anyone who is brave enough to come forward and admit such a thing. What could they have to gain by lying about it? And even if someone would be low enough to feign such a thing, every case has to be taken seriously and addressed or, for the victims, the issue stays hidden like it had for all these years.

AC/Erica> So I assume Thursday there will be a segment on Hillary?

And they call him an elitist? AC I’m so happy you’re doing a story on Obama.
So many have misinformation, incorrect information, and obviously the wrong idea about Sen. Obama and where he came from. Obama is certainly not an elitist, but a man who has worked very hard to get where he is today. I cling to hope, that Obama will be our next President.

Anderson, Erica, do you guys have even a second to yourselves during the show with anchoring, rewriting segments and blogging?

P.S. Erica so I decided to try this hot water thing... I actually like it, maybe it will help me cut back on my coffee consumption... !

Great idea. Like the in depth reports on the candidates. It's great when you learn something you didn't know before. Looking forward to seeing the reports on the other candidates.

You ready for a sports related story Anderson

Carmen~
Anderson's tie didn't happen to talk to you did it?
All us stalkers are in the room!!!!!

Good job gang. Erica, you are the "new IT" at CNN. You go! Anderson, so glad you are back. Awesome, awesome program tonite! Goodnite bloggers!

I can't wait hear bulliet news or business. and where is beat 360??

I am a bit surprised to see that more blogs are about Erica and ties than about the life story of one of our candidates! Folks, we need all the information we can get on these candidates, don't you think? Listen up!

Anderson, how did you decide who was going first – and what nights they would be on?

Look, I don't care how many good things a person has done, nobody's perfect.

Yes Eva Obama for Man of the Year and Sexiest Man Alive, after Anderson of course

Anderson,
thanks for profiling Barack Obama! I do look forward to the coverage of the other candidates, John McCain and Hilary Clinton!

I must be the only one finding it hard to multitask – refreshing this page, and trying to actually interact, at the same time as trying to watch and listen to the show.

Kristin, I don't think you're alone there. I kept leaning towards Clinton, then coming back to Obama...now I'm determined to sit on the fence until it's election time. The Democratic party is exhibiting so much infighting...I'd rather just wait until they sort it out themselves.

Hi Anderson,
I am enjoying your retrospective of Obama and how he got to where he is today. Please, Please no more polygamy!! We have had this for the entire last week and now it continues. Have pity on the viewer who really enjoys politics. I know there is a lull now but please think of something else. That story is just boring.
By the way....looking quite dapper tonite,especially the tie.

AC I find it hard to believe your not good with computers. You have to type a million words a minute! I LOVE THE RADIOHEAD!!! Always a great intro! Who picks the music? 2 THUMBS WAY UP!!! =0)

Betty Ann as a matter of fact it did talk to me. I think it came with its own batteries

Speaking of computers, mine wants to hibernate...I have to bid good night to you all...

Hey Anderson, didn't they tell you that they gave Erica your job while you were exploring in Colombia and that maybe that is why you didnt have your photo?! lol

Oh Erica, you should do a photoshop thing for him, he seems to have a good sense of humor! lol

BTW, def is a nice tie.

Great show tonight Anderson and Erica!
Fun and informative!
Thanks!

Glad the hot water is working!

Going to throw this out (and maybe get slammed in return-who knows?)-isn't it a bit late to put all the facts out about the three candidates after the candidates have done enough damage to each other and various media outlets have done enough damage ripping these three apart so that the American people will never believe anything again about these people without the proverbial grain of salt? I'm at a point where every story has a spin to it when I hear it concerning these candidates. Nothing personal against the reporters, but I just watch some shows where the agendas are pretty obvious. Not so much here but wouldn't this have been better before the blood letting started?

this disociative disorder is very interesting....
thanks to Dr.Gupta and everyone else for reporting this!

Billi> People just can't help but getting lost in Anderson's eyes...getting mesmerized by his ties...

Nice reporting Anderson..

I think its great that this show is profiling all three candidates to give the public a better chance to see which candidate is best. Way to go 360!!!

Probably hurt a few people on the football field.

I wonder if it is possible for someone with multiple personality disorder to feel at home and at ease with all his or her personalities or if it keeps being confusing for them as well

Hi Anderson
Just watched your piece on Sen Obama,really enjoyed it i feel he is an inspiration to all people regardless of color.

Somebody is being fair with Obama!
Thank you Anderson!
By the way I don't like your tie, I can not lie!

warm or hot water is suppose to be very good for you....helps you loose weight (it does for me anyways)

Carmen~
Pretty funny!

shame on us for calling obama an elitist,wow i am so impressed by his ability to reach out to others,i am switching to obama

Kristin and Katie.....think carefully about who can win against a Republican before you make a final decision about your Democratic choice. Kerry was ahead in the polls at first and you know how that turned out. Nice guys don't always win.

I feel sorry for Mr. Herschel Walker part of his life was taking away from this disorder called dissociative identitky disorder. I myself was abuse badly but lucky that i didn't fall into this life. I had relatives to help raised me now I am a artist in calif.

Hey Erica, I'll try the hot water too. I am always cold.

Btw, how do they find out if someone has multiple personality disorder?

It's got to be hard to live with a person who has multiple personalities, especially when they want to kill themselves. Very interesting report. Just goes to show how powerful the mind can be.

Wonderful piece Anderson. It shows the true measure of a man. Hopefully people will see where he came from to where he is today and have a better understanding of him. Thanks.

wow this story is so surreal....almost like a soap opera.

Love watching Sanjay toss the ball

E.Bolton

i agree with you..

I am a little skeptical about what I'm hearing from the sect women – it seems like the women are being pushed to the forefront to speak about this, while the men most likely tell them what to say. I am suspicious the women could be enablers of the abuse.

Just look at what happened in the cult – "children of god" – love, religion, and brainwashed mothers have enabled children to be abused before and this is a situation where the state does need to step in, investigate, and find out what's truly going on behind closed doors at the compound.

"Btw, how do they find out if someone has multiple personality disorder?"

I think one of the symptoms is that the person starts losing time, blacking out – not remembering how they ended up where they are right now.

why does the webcam end before the sohw does????

Put him behind bars for tax evasion? I think rapist get off on 1 year probation...

Stay warm...Ending with snowmen..What were you thinking..Night all

I will be quite surprised ( probably shocked ) if the profiles of McCain and Clinton are "puff pieces" like Obama's was

uh oh...I think I got the webcam shut down...it just went dark...woops...

Haha why would you lie about being older?

I enjoyed the program tonight. Good night Anderson and all!

Anderson,

Hi–welcome back! Your profile of Barack Obama is great. Though someone gave me his first book awhile back, it seems he went from the DNC in 2004 to his candidacy for President without a lot of public–national–exposure. Your segments go beyond what is seen in the ongoing campaign–your report is fascinating.

Buster rules! 100 and still drinking and running. GO BUSTER!

Anderson – how many do believe are real? I'm sorry but it seemed like every other day people were coming out sorry don't buy it. I always, as a child, ran to the priest who came to my home when I was six to give last rights to my father, never did I feel anything wrong with it. He looked after me like a priest would. Some maybe, but not all the stories are true.

Buster is cool! I wonder what his secret is... Great show tonight, Anderson and Erica, it's so good to have you back together in the studio!

Haven't we seen Buster before ? He was on last month or so, right?

Good night Anderson, Erica, and Bloggers!
Brooke and Marica! congrats Ladies! I love beat 360!
See you tomorrow night!

Anderson!
Can you "digg dipper' on Obama I like his story.

nite nite all

Congratulations Marcia on your win! I read that one today and thought well, it can't get any better!

Good Night Mr./Mrs. Moderator!

Anderson, good show and great to see you reporting tonight. Hope you will do Hillary and McCain as well.

Good night all

Megan: I noticed that too, you would think since there is a delay, the web cam would stay on longer.

Great show tonight! Nite all!

Thanks for the Obama expose'. Excellent. Missed you Anderson!

I can't believe how quickly this hour goes...

Goodnight bloggers, Erica and Anderson!

And to Anderson I would like to be a huge nerd for a moment and say "G g g g g ...Gumdrop"

You are fantastic!

EJ – Ohio~
Thanks for answering my question!

A.C. . . . i appreciate your hard work and all that you bring to the news . . . you are an amazing journalist . . . .i enjoy your show and all of your work . . . . good night!

great show everybody,
goodnight!

Night Anderson looking good guy like always and Erica...

Good show guys take care, all.

Give Buster a break. He's close enough..

Anderson and Erica thanks for a fantastic 360 tonight......have a great night everyone and see you all back here tomorrow night, same bat time, same bat channel

The guy is still amazing; he's 94!

Buster...how could you?

Great show! Had so much fun on the blog, hope I responded to everyone who replied to me. So much to keep up with! Great job Erica and AC! Night!

Great documentary on Obama. It’s a real story of hope, the fruit of hard work and determination. It made me realize that Hillary's campaign is riding on the coattails of a former President. All her candidacy does is send a message to young women that in order to be President you first need to be a First Lady. Obama is the real deal.

A blogger denying the Catholic Church sexual abuse of children?
I've now heard it all.
