high number played with eight meals with their children. the majority of those dads said they read to their kids several times a week as well. you wonder why this is such a big deal. researchers and behavioral experts show is a dads are more involved in their children's lives than society think. we know children are academically successful and fewer behavioral problems and healthier eating habits with dad spending more time. moms are wondering, i'm not seeing that kind of help at home. worth noting all the dads in the survey self-reported their involvement without input from their partners or others. and most were married or living with their significant others. so the issues of single parenting, limited visitation time with kids, et cetera were not a focus or a part of this study but the headline from the survey, increasingly fathers were sharing duties that traditionally have been done solely by moms. back to you. of course i will be watching my own hubby very closely. jenna: thanks. i wonder what the moms think?

down under the old guidelines. and those, of course, apply to thousands of people. today, our normally pardon-shy president fixed that problem for eight specific people, in a gesture that is hugely sequential for those eight specific people and their families, but at this point, it's basically just a symbolic gesture for the thousands of other people who are trapped in their same situation. the president explained today in a statement that he feels the eight people who he ordered freed from prison were, quote, sentenced under an unfair system, but then he said this. quote, three years ago, i signed the bipartisan fair sentencing act, which dramatically narrowed the disparity between penalties for crack and powder cocaine offenses. this law begins to right a decades-old injustice. but for thousands of inmates, it came too late. if they had been sentenced under the current law, many of them would have already served their time and paid their debt to society. instead, because of a law that is now recognized as unjust, they remain in prison, separated from their families and their communities, at a cost of millions of taxpayers dollars

seems like this is not an accident. this is actually the agenda. just take a look at congressman jack kingston, now running for senate. this is what he has to say. >> one of the things i've talked to the secretary of agriculture about, why don't you, you know, have the kids pay a dime, pay a nickel, to instill on them that there is no such thing as a free lunch. and yes, i understand that would be an administrative problem, and i understand that it would probably lose you money, but think what we would gain as a society in getting people, getting the myth out of their head that there is such thing as a free lunch. >> poverty as punishment. this is what the policy agenda of the tea party congress has reduced itself to. joining me now is john nichols, my colleague at "the nation" magazine, where he and his washington correspondent. john, there is this strange, weird equilibrium we've arrived at, where republicans are impotent to enact their agenda. they've gotten some of the austerity they wanted, the one thing they have the power to do is basically screwing over

of $10 bags and life without parole. shoplifting $159 jacket, life, because of four strikes law. they sound in sane but this is the reality for so many people. it's expensive and doesn't make sense. where is the political will coming from on the other side. >> a lot of politicians don't want to get in front of this. people don't want to be seen as soft on drugs or encouraging it. symbolism and bipartisanship, i think it's striking the second president in a row, one in each party, who admitted to using drugs, including cocaine in the past. what does it really say as a society that we're sort of okay with that. if you use some drugs when you're young, we're okay with it and you can go on to become president of the united states. if you're from the wrong side, we throw the book at you.

play than the comments about gay people. being both, i read his comments about gay people as a bible quote. which was not right. i don't agree with it. but his comments about african-americans, it is even more far afeel than his comments about gay people. he has a lack of awareness about the way the world works and the way society is right now. and maybe it is because he lives in the swamp. i don't know. he is a very wealthy man. but i think it is interesting that those comments really did get short shrift. >> as a media analyst, report he, when you look at the headlines. they're all about the comments he made about homosexuality. why do you think it is the one about african-americans are not in the headlines? does civil rights story not generate as many clicks or viewers as a story about gays? >> it may be because those battles seem more over. gay rights battles seem to be

the parents have basically raised a kid with a completely flat affect and no understanding of what it is like to be a functioning member of society. the psychiatrist testified unless you get him totally away from those parents and get him into deep therapy, there is no saving him. so it sounds like this judge bought with that psychiatrist said hook, line and sinker and going for that. >> do you think the kid should go in to deep therapy at 450,000 a year or jail? >> you know, it's tough to say. he behaved so recklessly four people are dead. >> so how about this severely injured. >> the other two the other is paralyzed really bad. i do believe. >> how about you sentence him to a term. he is 16. five years in prison. 21 he gets out. but is he on probation for the rest of his life and he has to do this kind of service. wouldn't that be something? i mean, you don't want to. >> i do think the kid needed some jail time. when you have four people who are dead. >> you know he newport, california. >> sounds pretty nice. >> one of the nicest places

the press" interview. this is your exclusive. >> pope talking about income inequality being a huge problem in this country and around the world. >> income inequality around the world is a big issue. we have done some work and there's a clear indication that rising inequality leads to less sustainable growth. not to mention the fact social fabric of society can be at stake. so reducing inequality, making sure people have a job. making sure there is growth, adequate redistribution through various systems is important. >> a profound problem for our country as well as the rest of the world. >> i don't know what this president is going to be able to do about it. it's argument, not legislation. maybe a fight over the minimum wage is a good way to do it. maybe republicans don't want to have that debate. again, he's taking on a huge role for government at a time when a lot of the welfare

young man. when i went through seminary, i already started to change my views. i learned about different interpretations that some theologians had about the passages in the bible that talk about homosexuality. by the time my son came out i would describe myself as tolerant. i wasn't a supporter. i became a silent supporter for my son, once the complaint was filed, you know, i just couldn't lie. i had to tell everybody how i really thought about the issue and sure enough, it divided my local church. there's been some pain there and division, there's a lot of support but there are also a lot of people that are on the other side of the issue. it's been a painful process that really went through my church of separation, even went through from families and friendships were broken and all that. it's heartbreaking to see that. >> what do you do? law changes and law can create change in society but religion doesn't have to change.
