THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
T.J. HOLMES, CNN ANCHOR: Thanks to my dear friend Christine Romans this morning as well. From the CNN center this is your CNN Saturday Morning for this morning November 6th.
I am T.J. Holmes. It's 10:00 a.m. here in Atlanta, Georgia, where I am, 7:00 a.m. for you folks in Seattle, Washington. Wherever you might be, glad you're right here with us.
President Obama, he is not here in the U.S. with us even right now. He is on an important job hunt, a job hunt that took him to Asia.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Mumbai is a symbol of the incredible energy and optimism that defines India in the 21st century.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HOLMES: Now, the president starting off his ten-day trip in Mumbai, India, focusing on business and trade. We'll be talking plenty about the president's trip and his mission.
But also something we're talking about on this trip, the president's security. They are not taking any chances. Even coconuts are considered a threat. We'll let you know what had to be done to protect the presidential noggin.
Also take a look at this old guy. He boarded a plane in Hong Kong, headed to Vancouver. But by the time he got to Vancouver, this old guy was that young guy, a 20-year-old man. Why did he have on a disguise, who is he, what was the purpose of this? We're searching for some answers this morning.
Also coming up over the next 60 minutes, candy for Halloween for trick-or-treating or condoms? This is a true story, folks. Some kids in Oregon got a crash course in sex education on Halloween. You will hear the response from some of the parents. You'll also hear why the parents handing out the condoms decided to do so.
Also, some people were so happy to get a win on Election Day, they were literally doing cartwheels. We'll tell you who this guy is and why he decided to have such a moment. But we need to start right now.
But we need to start right now out in Oakland, where there was outrage last year after a police officer shot and killed an unarmed black man. There was outrage and riots in the street. And then earlier this year there was outrage again once that officer was convicted on lesser charges for killing that unarmed black man.
Now outrage and violence once again in the streets of Oakland, but this time because the sentence for that officer is only two years. Take a listen.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
(SHOUTING)
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HOLMES: Now, let me tell you what you're seeing here. This is in Los Angeles. This was outside the courthouse yesterday. The case had to be moved from Oakland to Los Angeles because of all the publicity. Now, this was in 2009, New Year 2009 when Oscar Grant was shot and killed by this now former Bay Area transit officer Johannes Mehserle.
You see the video. This got a lot of attention initially because there was cell phone video of it. The officer said he was trying to reach for his taser when he inadvertently grabbed his gun and shot Grant. Again, it was all caught on videotape here by a transit passenger.
Now, this, of course, stoked some racial tensions, sparked some violent protests. Yesterday's verdict, like I said, we saw some of the same things on the streets of Oakland, some 150 people reportedly arrested in Los Angeles and Oakland.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
CHIEF ANTHONY BATTS, OAKLAND POLICE: You have a right to protest. You have a right to freedom of speech. You have a right to voice your opinion and discontent. You do not have a right to tear this city up. It's already hurting. There's a lot of pain here already. And to rip it up, I just don't think that's fair. The city's been torn up too many times.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HOLMES: Now, police there are reacting to the crowds. You're seeing the officer from Oakland talking about what's been happening on the streets of Oakland. This is what happened right outside the courthouse where the sentencing was announced, a family having a tough time dealing with the sentence.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) JOHN BURRIS, GRANT FAMILY ATTORNEY: A small step was made certainly in the prosecution of Mr. Mehserle, but a giant step was not made as it relates to true justice. And that part was disappointing but not surprising.
PAT BROOKS, OUTRAGED OVER SENTENCING: I shouldn't be surprised. This country has historically allowed young men of color to be murdered by police and other agencies. They have continuously told us that the lives of young men of color don't matter. They have continually per pet situated systems to allow things like this to happen. So we're not surprised.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HOLMES: OK, so we're going to have a whole lot more on this. We're going to be talking to a reporter in Oakland who's been covering this story.
And also, we need to let you know. This outrage this time around -- like I said, there was outrage initially when the white police officer killed an unarmed black men. Then that white officer was then convicted on a lesser charge. There was outrage over that.
Now he has been sentenced to two years. A lot of people call that an outrage as well. Prosecutors or others and family members thought he should get the maximum, which is 14 years. But because of this two-year sentence now and the judge said he's going to get credit for time he has served during the whole period of going through the trial, he could possibly be out of jail in as little as seven months.
And that is what has so many people upset. We will, like I said, talk to a reporter in Oakland coming up live here shortly.
I want to turn to some weather now. Haiti just can't seem to catch a break. This is a tropical storm now, Tomas. It's been downgraded. It was a hurricane, now it's a tropical storm.
The rain is starting to taper off in Haiti, but, still, look at these pictures here. They're going to have to deal with issues of flooding and mud slides as well. This is pictures from Haiti on Friday. The hurricane center says Haiti and the Dominican Republic could get an additional inch or two of rain. The threat of this rain now continues with the possibility of more waterborne diseases like cholera.
I'll bring in Reynolds, who's been keeping an eye on this storm. People thinking, boy, Haiti can't catch a break. A major earthquake killed 250,000 in January followed by a cholera outbreak we've seen in the past couple months that killed another 450-plus. Tomas now they're having to deal with now.
REYNOLDS WOLF, AMS METEOROLOGIST: Is the battle is a trifecta? It really is. When you think of Port-au-Prince, it's one of the places that's really under the gun.
T.J. when you fly into L.A., you'll notice it's like a dish. You have the mountains and, of course, the Pacific. When you think of Port-au-Prince you have a mountain range that hugs the city and then opens out to a windward passage.
As the storm made its way near Haiti, right close to Haiti, in fact, you have that storm interacting with the elevations outside of Port-au-Prince. That's the reason they had some flooding. Some places had about ten inches of rainfall.
And although the storm is moving past the Turks and Caicos, you may, still, in days to come have residual mud slides in Port-au- Prince. So a big mess there.
As it stands, Tomas, 70-mile-per-hour winds, gusted to 85, the movement to the northeast at 15. You know where it is. The question is where is it going? Well, for your that answer, we look at this forecast map from the National Hurricane Center.
The storm is expected to do two things -- accelerate to the northeast. That's one thing. The second thing is it's going to weaken. As we make our way from Sunday into Monday, winds dropping farther to the east and off into history. But Haiti still the place to watch.
We're going to keep an eye and watch our weather back in the U.S. and take a snapshot at the game day forecast. A lot of games today, college football fans want to know what they can expect. You do too. We'll let you know coming up in a bit.
HOLMES: Reynolds, thank you. A lot of people are excited as well because they're going to get an extra hour of sleep.
WOLF: Falling back.
HOLMES: Falling back. But it's going to cause some problems possibly for you iPhone users. Daylight saving glitch for the iPhone. We're not just talking about the new one. The iPhone 4, it could make you late for work Monday if you do not correct this problem. We'll explain.
WOLF: Also, take a look at this guy, this old guy, old guy. Well, he doesn't feel too bad that I'm calling him so old because the guy is actually quite young. Can you believe that? We'll explain the transformation midflight. It's eight minutes past the hour. Stick around.
Before you go to this break, take this break with us, I want to ask you something. To you know the answer to this quiz? The "Forbes" list of most powerful people a s at the top. Is it Barack Obama, U.S. president, Pope Benedict, or is it Hu Jintao, president of the People's Republic of China? I'll have the answer for you after the break. Stick around.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
HOLMES: It's 12 minutes past there hour here on this CNN Saturday morning. We were telling you what occurred in Oakland overnight after a sentence was announced for a former police officer, a white police officer there in the Bay Area who was convicted and sentenced after he shot and killed an unarmed black man.
This happened January 1st of 2009. This officer was convicted earlier this year, but the sentence just came down. That sentence is two years.
Now, a lot of people outraged by this, including many members of the black community in Oakland but also the family members, because with this two-year sentence and the judge giving the officer credit for time already served, it's possible this officer could be out of jail within seven months.
This resulted in some clashes with police on the streets of Oakland last night. I want to turn to Will Tran of our affiliate KRON who is there live for us this morning.
Will, thank you for being with us. How bad did it get last night in Oakland?
WILL TRAN, KRON REPORTER: It got bad enough where 152 people had to be arrested, T.J. We're in the neighborhood where it all went down around 7:40 local time last night.
Let's just show you the lay of the land. This is just one of dozens of cars a few miles from city hall that was vandalized by looters who went through this place and then they trashed this place. There's paper all over the ground, clothes.
What all started is because after the peaceful demonstrations according to the police department, some people decided to march to the Fruitvale BART station. That's where Oscar grant was shot two years ago. They wanted to go there. The police officers followed them.
They went through this neighborhood, which is pretty isolated. It looks like a cul-de-sac. And then around 7:44 local time, one of the protesters grabbed a gun from the holster of a police officer. Fortunately the others swarmed in, grabbed the suspect as well as the gun from him.
But at that point the chief of police of Oakland at that point said enough is enough. You have a right to gather but it's getting too dangerous and he moved in, made 152 arrests for unlawful entry. Those people should be released this morning -- unlawful assembly rather, excuse me. But those people should be released sometime today. We don't know how many of those people are, in fact, from Oakland.
After the verdict came down a few months ago, a lot of people that did the most damage, T.J., they came from out of town. So I'm still trying to find out exactly how many people are from here.
I did get a chance to talk to some people in the neighborhood. It almost feels, T.J., like a storm, a major storm has passed and now it's gone. The people are popping their heads out their doors, their windows, and just taking a look for themselves, all of this damage.
And one woman said to me this morning, "I can understand if they do this or protest at some city place, even at the BART station where this all went down a few years ago, but why us? We didn't have anything do with it." And, look, this is what they left behind, T.J. Back to you.
HOLMES: All right, Will Tran, we do appreciate you giving us a look of what people will see when daylight hits in California. Will, thank you so much. And once again, we'll keep a close eye on that story out in Oakland.
A quick break here at a quarter past the hour, right back.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
HOLMES: A couple of breaks ago we asked you a question. At the top of the list of the world's most powerful people, who is sitting at number one? Is it the president of the U.S., Barack Obama, is it Pope Benedict? Is it Hu Jintao, president the People's Republic of China? The answer, Hu Jintao, president the People's Republic of China. He's the leader of the more than 1.3 billion people there. That's a fifth of the world's population.
Pope Benedict, he's down to number five. Last year it was President Obama. He slipped to number two. You can see the complete list by going to Forbes.com.
Meanwhile, the president arrived in India earlier this morning, part of a trip that going to take him to Indonesia, South Korea, Japan as well. He started off the trip today with the first lady participating a commemoration ceremony at the Taj Palace hotel in Mumbai. The ceremony there was to mark the terrorist attacks there two years ago.
Take a listen.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
OBAMA: We'll never forget the awful images of 26-11, including the flames from this hotel that lit up the night sky. We'll never forget how the world, including the American people, watched and grieved with all of India.
But the resolve and the resilience of the Indian people during those attacks stood in stark contrast to the savagery of the terrorists. The murderers came to kill innocent civilians that day. But those of you here risked everything to save human life.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HOLMES: Now, the president started off, of course, as we hear there, talking about those attacks and security. But make no mistake. This trip is a huge job hunt for the president, hoping to bring some jobs back.
Let me bring in our senior White House correspondent Ed Henry with more on the president's trip. And Ed, as I was getting ready to come to you I saw you constantly looking down at your blackberry. Now, I assume you were checking all the latest news and you've got something new to tell me.
So what is it?
ED HENRY, CNN SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: I was checking my iPhone actually, and I was looking at the CNN app. You can hear the fireworks behind me. Nothing untoward going on. It's fireworks because they've got a big holiday here, their equivalent of Christmas, a festival of lights.
I was just checking up on what the president was doing earlier today. The reason why he's spending three days here, the longest since any visit since taking office in any one certainly, three days, is personal and political.
You mentioned the jobs and the political situation, trying to build U.S. exports. But also personally. A lot of people don't know that Mahatma Gandhi is one of President Obama's personal heroes. He kept a framed picture of him in his Senate office back in the day.
So he and Mrs. Obama went to the Gandhi museum here in Mumbai. It's a house where Gandhi stayed at for many years, help build up the peace movement. Bottom line, as the president said, it was pretty cool to sign the guest book and look at another guest book that Dr. Martin Luther King had signed in 1959.
But you're right, there's a broader, substantive issue going on here, which is the president knows he's going to face some criticism back home for maybe globetrotting so quickly after that midterm election all about jobs.
So he's trying to make the case that when you build U.S. exports here, that means U.S. jobs back home. So he announced some big American contracts, $10 billion contracts for Boeing, General Electric, other big American companies to sell planes and jet engines here to India both for military and private airlines.
The president said this is all about the U.S. economy. Take a listen.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
OBAMA: This is the spirit of optimism and determination that has driven our people since before we were nations, the same spirit that will drive our future. And that's why I'm thrilled to be in India and with you here today.
And that's why I'm confident that we can and will forge new economic partnerships and deliver the jobs and broad-based growth that our peoples so richly deserve. And I am absolutely certain that the relationship between the United States and India is going to be one of the defining partnerships of the 21st century.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HENRY: Now, on Sunday the president's going to be having a town hall here in Mumbai with local college students, and then on Monday he'll going to have a joint conference with Prime Minister Singh.
The other reason I wanted to see if there were more pictures of you, people holding up signs saying T.J. for president. I saw there was won at the Jon Stewart rally last weekend. That was burning up on my CNN iPhone. I never got to bug you about it, but I think there's a movement for you, man.
HOLMES: You never got the bug out but I hope you got it out of your system now. Consider me bugged.
(LAUGHTER)
Good to see you as always, buddy. We will talk to you throughout this trip.
I want to turn it over to Josh Levs now. Josh, any time the president travels, it's always a huge security -- you call it a nightmare even to try to protect this president. But this is taking it a step further. You've got to make sure the president -- you can't put him in a helmet, so you have to make sure nothing falls and hits his head. We're talking about coconuts.
JOSH LEVS, CNN CONTRIBUTOR: Yes, you can't have a giant umbrella wherever you go. When the president of the United States visits India, he shouldn't have to worry about giant coconuts falling on his head. Officials had workers cut down the dry coconuts surrounding the Gandhi museum which the president will be visiting in the coming days.
Now, apparently falling coconuts are a problem, so authorities have made sure to speed up the cleaning process around the city in the president's path. So there shouldn't be anything like this, anything falling near him.
By the way, this is how our graphics decided to give a visualization of the global problem if it were to happen.
HOLMES: Goodness gracious. That's the best we could do?
(LAUGHTER)
LEVS: I've got something else that you'll appreciate. This is going to be a first. When the president speaks Monday to India's parliament, it will be the first time ever that a teleprompter is set up in that building.
As we know, U.S. presidents generally use prompters for speeches, but there's never been one in India's central hall of parliament. Our partners at CNN India are reporting the president will be using one, so they're installing one, getting it all set up for his big speech there. And finally on a more serious note, T.J., I'll mention it again, the rumor of the president's trip could cost $200 million a day has been flying around in some circles. I'm looking online today. Some people are still talking about it.
It is a myth. We have details for you to break it down as well as all the serious and fun details, coconuts and all, at CNN.com.
T.J., as I pass it back to you, do you remember when we were talking about recent events, they had monkeys designed to push away other monkeys to guarding the place?
HOLMES: Yes.
LEVS: They're doing it again. They've got specially trained monkeys ready to make sure that other monkeys don't give the president a hard time.
HOLMES: Thank goodness the Secret Service is more sophisticated than cutting down fruit and using monkeys to protect the president. Josh, we appreciate you, as always.
Coming up, he got on the plane as an old white guy. When he got up he was a young Asian guy. We'll explain -- no, we can't explain it really, but it's a mystery everybody is trying to figure out. Stick around.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
HOLMES: Good morning. Memphis, Tennessee, good morning. West Arkansas, this is a picture given to us by our affiliate WNC. We're looking at my home state right across from Memphis. Good morning to you all.
I want to introduce you all watching here, something -- I want to make a habit. At this time we're going to be checking in on news pulse, some of the most popular stories on CNN.com.
Let me put these pictures up for you. A man that boards an Air Canada flight from Hong Kong, all right, going to Vancouver, that is the man that got on the flight. But that is not the same man that got off the flight.
Somewhere mid flight he gets up, goes to the restroom, and emerges as that guy, a young Asian man believed to be about 20 years old. The investigation certainly under way right now. Reportedly the man is trying to seek refugee protection in Canada.
But a lot of questions, how he was able to pull it off, why he wanted to pull it off, what was the point of it all, and also, quite frankly, that you could come up with some kind of mask. Clearly this wasn't some amateur hour with that mask. So a lot of questions there. Not a lot of answers. We will stay on top of that.
Something else that continues to burn up the Internet and also some airways right now -- MSNBC, arguably their biggest star, Keith Olbermann, has been suspended indefinitely by his network. Why? Reports have come out and Olbermann has admitted that he made donations to at least three political candidates. They were all Democrats.
According to his company this violates their policy of doing such a thing, and also if any of their employees would like to, they have to get permission first before doing so, but right now he's been suspended indefinitely.
Also one other thing burning up the internet right now and our website, the iPhone. We have another problem, but we're not just talking about iPhone 4 here. What we're talking about, a lot of you iPhone users, even the iPod touch users. You might be late for work if you don't recalibrate your settings for your alarm.
What happens here if you have a recurring alarm that essentially wakes you up at the same time every day or maybe every Wednesday? Those alarms won't reset with daylight saving time on their own. So you will end up being late on Monday if you don't reset this thing.
Go to our website, some very, very simple steps you need to do. But again, after daylight savings time, everything will readjust. Still it has causing problems for some people around the world already.
Well, it has been four days now since the election. We still don't know who won Alaska's Senate race, but it's not as simple as just counting ballots. And one politician, as you see here, is head over heels with his midterm victory. We'll tell you who was doing cartwheels after Tuesday's election. It's the bottom of the hour here on this CNN -- there he goes -- Saturday morning. Stick around.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
HOLMES: Good morning Washington D.C., waking up to a little Maroon 5, "Harder to Breathe." We hope that it's not going to be harder to govern next year after the elections results we just saw. Changes are coming to Washington, D.C.
But here we are four days after the midterm Election Day. We still don't know who won the Senate contest in Alaska. So what's the hold-up? Well, they may need to do a spell-check on thousands of ballots. The incumbent Lisa Murkowski has claimed victory, if you will, after her write-in candidacy. She launched that write-in campaign after losing the Republican primary to Joe Miller.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
LISA MURKOWSKI, (R) ALASKA SENATE CANDIDATE: They said -- they said you can't do it, you can't win a write-in campaign, not in Alaska, not anywhere. They said we can't do it. Do they know Alaska? Do they know Alaska? Yes, we can.
CROWD: Yes, we can! Yes, we can!
(END VIDEO CLIP) HOLMES: Well, not Joe Miller. He's saying, oh, no, you department. The official counting of the write in ballots was up to next Wednesday, a week before actually planned. And so Miller, he's got a problem with that.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JOE MILLER, (R) ALASKA SENATE CANDIDATE: We're not asking it to be pushed. We're asking that the original date be honored. We think that it's improper to suddenly foist upon the Alaskans to move it up a week. Obviously it's going require volunteers on the ground, 81,000 ballots. And they all do have to be examined. Each one has to be examined to make sure we know who's on that write-in.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HOLMES: OK, deciding the winner not as simple as counting ballots.
Libby Casey is correspondent for Alaska Public Radio. She joins me know. You just flew in on the red eye to D.C. from Alaska. We appreciate you do that. Your state now has the potential to make Florida look like child's play with this thing.
So tell us, first of all. We just heard Lisa Murkowski there. She certainly sounds victorious. What makes her so confident she's the win wither?
LIBBY CASEY, ALASKA PUBLIC RADIO REPORTER: The write-in slot on the ballot got 13,000 more votes than anyone else, and so Lisa Murkowski guesses that most of those votes will be for her.
She was the woman going out there, educating people about how you had to fill in the oval and write out her name. They had all these jingles and they solicited help from Alaskans about how to spell her name, and so she says I'm likely the winner.
Joe Miller says, wait, we haven't seen any of those write-in ballots. And so it ain't over till it's over.
HOLMES: So, Libby, is that a fair argument? She is making, common sense I guess would tell you, this is a write-in campaign. She was the one that's the head of the write-in campaign. That's a fairly logical argument.
CASEY: It is logical, but we need to see what all those ballots say. Counting and reading those votes on Wednesday, they guess it will take three to four days.
Now, there were a bunch of other people who ran as write-ins as well. In Alaska you have to register ahead of time to be a viable write-in candidate.
But Joe Miller, not Joe Miller himself, but supporters encouraged Miller supporters to do what one blog called "Operation Alaska Chaos" and register as write-ins as well to confuse both voters at the polls when they asked for a list of candidates. Where's Lisa Murkowski's name among these 160 other candidates? And also confuse things potentially when the count starts.
You mentioned the Florida race and the hanging chads. We're going to see some of the same players in Alaska because one of the lawyers Lisa Murkowski hired worked for Bush his team in 2000 and worked in the Minnesota count for Norm Coleman. So everybody is lawyering up and getting ready for what may be a big event.
HOLMES: He's a heavy hitter. If he gets called in, they're serious.
But what's going to have to happen? It's not just counting these ballots. They have to look at each one and confirm whether or not the intent of that voter was to write "Lisa Murkowski" or L Murkowski. They have to do a spell check.
CASEY: That's right. And the division of elections hasn't said yet exactly what they will accept and what they won't accept. They said voter intent, that's what they'll be looking for. There will be 15 teams going through all of these ballots starting next week,
And the folks who have a lot at stake in this, Lisa Murkowski's camp and Joe Miller's camp, the Republican as well, there are allowed to have observers. So there may be three to five observers in the room at one time challenging the ballots, saying that's not quite legible. Did they spell Murkowski or someone else?
HOLMES: One other note. There was a Lisa M that was running as well. I can't remember her name, but she too could add to the confusion. There's a Lisa M. out there. Unless they're absolutely clear about Murkowski, that could create issues.
Libby, thank you for taking the long flight. Thank you so much. We look forward to talking to you maybe months down the road. Thanks so much.
CASEY: Thanks again.
HOLMES: As many of you know, things didn't go so well for Democrats on Election Day, losing some 60 seats in the House. The Democrats who won were clearly happy to hold onto their jobs, really happy.
(VIDEO CLIP)
HOLMES: So happy he is literally turning cartwheels. That is Colorado Congressman Ed Perlmutter. He was doing cartwheels after his close reelection win.
But this wasn't just a celebratory tumble he was taking. He was kind of rubbing it in the face of his Republican opponents who actually used during the campaign video of him doing a cartwheel in a parade last year to attack him in a campaign ad. So that was his response. In California, a Democratic state senator won her re-election by a landslide. There's just one problem. She's dead. Jenny Oropeza won with 58 percent of the vote, but she died two weeks before the election after battling cancer. Her name stayed on the ballot because she died so close to the election and Democrats encouraged people to vote for her anyway in hopes of keeping the seat out of Republican hands.
Now there's going to have to be a special election and Democrats will be able to find another candidate.
Meanwhile, the former President George W. Bush said he personally Okayed waterboarding of accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohamed. That's according to his new memoir "Decision Points" coming out next week. In it the president said when he was asked by the CIA if they could proceed with waterboarding, his response was, quote, "damn right."
Also, a warning out there to any country that is about to get a visit from Hillary Clinton. Brace yourselves. It seems anywhere she goes, an earthquake follows. Just as she was landing in Christchurch New Zealand, Friday, the city got an aftershock from an earlier 7.0 earthquake. Two days earlier she was wrapping up a visit in Papua, New Guinea. It got hit with a 6.0 magnitude earthquake.
We could go back to February of '09, minor quake while she was visiting Japan. June of '09 a minor quake in Honduras. October of '09, several quakes while she was in Pakistan. Also days before she was to visit Chile in March, the country got hit with an 8.8 earthquake. So if she's coming your way, be warned.
Also we need to give you a warning any time Reynolds is coming up.
WOLF: I'm here, man.
HOLMES: Are you OK?
WOLF: Any chance -- nothing against Secretary Clinton, but any way we can keep her from CNN center maybe?
(LAUGHTER)
I mean we've got a run of a lot of the earthquakes. No harm, no foul.
Guys, what do you like to do on college weekend? A lot of people love college football. We'll give a better idea of what's going to happen on great day. You have to have your great game day forecast. We're going to check it up right here on CNN Saturday Morning.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
HOLMES: All right, we just wanted to share this video we just got in. Of course, the president is on a trip right now, a ten-day trip to Asia, Michelle Obama with him as well. While he is talking to business leaders and taking care of some of those things, she made a visit to Mumbai University and is visiting with children, and she told them while she was speaking she liked dancing, and, well, they took her up on it. Let me hear this music.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
(MUSIC)
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HOLMES: You can tell she's having a good time and following along. The kids are teasing her as she follows this thing. Just a fun shot.
WOLF: Do you have it on iPod rotation? It is catchy, isn't it? You can definitely dance to it.
HOLMES: Look at her. She's having a good old time. Just a fun video. She is really getting down with these kids in Mumbai. There's another shot of it as well. She did. She told them she enjoyed dancing and they took her up on it and she was having a blast.
But of course, the president there on a serious visit trying to get jobs back. They're on a ten-day mission but they're starting off in Mumbai. Just wanted to show you that.
Also we have some sports headlines today. We want to share this. LeBron James, everyone remembers what happened when he left Cleveland going to Miami. It wasn't just that he left, but it was how he left that people were upset about.
Recently a Nike commercial came out where he was asking, "What should I do." And in that he kind of hits back against some critics, what do you want me to be? Do you want me to sell shoes? All kinds of stuff.
The Clevelanders have taken it upon themselves and take that commercial and turn it on its head. Let me show you what they did.
WOLF: It's good stuff.

LEBRON JAMES, NBA PLAYER: What should I do?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What should you do?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Is it even a question?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What about family.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It's selfish.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Miami.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You backed out.
JAMES: Maybe I should just disappear.
Should I remind you I've done this before?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yeah, we know.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Boston, game five. We watched. You quit.
JAMES: Should I really believe I ruined my legacy?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Legacy?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Traitors don't leave legacies.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: When things get difficult, you run. That's your legacy.
JAMES: Should I have my tattoo removed?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yeah!
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It doesn't fit.
JAMES: What should I do?
What should I do?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Throw it in our faces on national television.
JAMES: (Laughing)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Thanks.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What should we do, LeBron?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What should we do?
JAMES: Seriously, what should I do?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What should you do?
JAMES: You could have told us before the last week of free agency you were leaving.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You're a backstabber, LeBron.
JAMES: Should I be writing this down?
Should I be who you want me to be?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We wanted you to be who you said you'd be.
JAMES: I've got a goal, and that's a huge goal. That's to bring an NBA championship here to Cleveland, and I won't stop until I get it. (MUSIC)

WOLF: Do you think when the Heat and Cavs play each other, that's going to be somewhat of a festive atmosphere? Can you see a little bit of hatchet swinging? That could be scary.
HOLMES: It would have to be up to security. I believe sometime in December when they actually go back to Cleveland. It is going to be interesting to see how this thing works out. People are still hurt by it. Some people are burning jerseys, that's one thing. This was a little more powerful. It seemed authentic.
WOLF: People are angry.
HOLMES: No doubt they are. People pay attention to horse racing how many times a year?
WOLF: A few times. Kentucky Derby, Belmont and Preakness. That's about it.
HOLMES: People are paying attention right now because of Zenyatta. This horse, this she is running against the guys again today in the Breeders' Cup. She won last year. This is going to be her last race. She has potential now to end her career at 20-0, has not been beaten in a career.
WOLF: Wow. It's not rags to riches. She's been a champ all the way through. But this will be her 20th you said?
HOLMES: It's her 20th and they're going to end the career here.
WOLF: I'll be darned.
HOLMES: So people are paying attention to the horse. We'll let you know how it works out.
Also we talked about this earlier. You win a lottery, what are you going to do?
WOLF: The thoughts are boundless. There's a lot of money. Come on.
HOLMES: With money, what would you do? What would these people do?
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It made us feel good that we could do something to help other people.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HOLMES: Yes. We will tell you what they did. And then figure out for yourself. Is it what you would do? It's ten minutes to the top of the hour. Stay here.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
HOLMES: Coming on the top of the hour here now. Question for you -- what would you do with $11 million. The answer to that makes this next couple somebody we thought you should know.
Alan and Violet Large of Nova Scotia won $11 million in a lottery. What did they do? They gave it away. They divided the money among hospitals, churches, fire department, the Red Cross, Salvation Army, cemeteries, you name it. But that money now essentially is gone.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: When they seen the check, their eyes really opened up wide.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It made us feel good that we could do something to help other people. You can't buy happiness.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HOLMES: Well, they did save a little money for an emergency fund, and they also gave some to family. But they say of that $11 million, they only kept two percent for themselves and to give out to family. So, again, all the money's gone.
Also 78-year-old Violet, she's been battling cancer and has just finished the last of her chemo treatments. The couple still buying lottery tickets for their philanthropic gesture. They're just somebody we thought you should know.
And also get you caught up on something else, a couple of headlines that popped out from the entertainment world. Starting with a duet from an unlikely duo -- comedian Will Ferrell and boxing champ Manny Pacquiao.

(SINGING)
(END VIDEO CLIP)
HOLMES: These guys were performing this in front of a live audience for a late night show "Jimmy Kimmel Live." Pacquiao is known for singing ballads just a few hours after winning boxing fight. If you're not familiar with him, he is by many counts pound for pound maybe the best boxer on the planet.
Also, as far as Will Ferrell goes, he's just overpaid, at least that's according to "Forbes" magazine. It's named Ferrell the most overpaid person in Hollywood. It's the second year in a row he's got this dubious honor. They figured this out by comparing how much money the 36 top paid actors earn as opposed to how much their films actually bring in. Comedians didn't fair too well on that particular list as you see here, but look at those other two names in the top five. Denzel Washington? And also Tom Cruise, of the most overpaid.
Also, condoms instead of candy - you didn't think I was going there with this, did you? Some kids in Oregon getting a crash course in sex education on Halloween. We'll be telling you the response through this trick or treat surprise in Oregon. Stick around.
