reflect back on it, i don't think the antagonism was toward the idea of a woman coming in. my daughter would be the first to tell you that i raised her to believe that a woman can do anything she wants to do. and i think i was very much a feminist all going all the way back. so i think i used the wrong word when i said i was a typical male chauvinist. i was a typical member of the old boys club. >> ha. well, in case you missed it, that old boys club no more. let's see how mort crim matches up to ron burgundy. >> i'm ron burgundy. you stay classy, san diego. >> all clear. >> stay classy, san diego.

. billions beat out every other a list in the world, to become time magazine's prestigious person of the year. and what american's evangelicals think of the pope. and the advice on obama care. >> you have to get it fixed. it is not fixed. it is very broken. there is no security. and frankly, a lot of people that are signing up don't have the insurance. >> the winner may surprise you here. and america's second favorite anchorman, well, this guy, you know him, you love him on the big screen. tonight, i'll talk to the man who made him what he is today. stay classy, piers morgan. >> i want to begin, though, with
9:02 pm
breaking news tonight. trouble on the international space station, nasa has found a problem with the cooling system. the six-person crew is not in danger at the moment, joining me now is cnn's john zarella on the phone. john, it is not the first time they have had to do repair work of this nature. but how big a threat is it potentially? could it get worse? >> well, probably not, piers, they do have it under control. they do have two of these cooling pumps on the international space station. one of them this morning stopped working suddenly, they were able to get it restarted again, but they're trouble shooting the issue. and the problem is that they're not able to provide enough cooling for the entire space station now because the one that has been restarted is not working at 100%. so they have had to shut down the noncritical systems in three of the modules on the station, the u.s. harmony, the european
9:03 pm
columbus model, and the japanese module, now, you mentioned they had problems with this. they did, back in may they had to replace a pump on the international space station. and these are on the outside of the space station and it requires space walks to do it. and the pump that was the replacement pump is the one that is now not working again. so it certainly could come to the point where they may have to do another space walk to either replace this problem. they have three spares on the station. they could do that if it is deemed necessary, which could be called an emergency stage walk. but right now nasa is saying you know, the light support systems are working fine. there is not any danger, and they're getting their normal night's sleep. >> and obviously, a huge success, the movie "gravity," everybody has great interest in the space station again, and they will be fearing all sorts of things because of that movie.
9:04 pm
in reality, this repair work is one of the big 14 repair things they anticipate, right? there are 14 different types of maintenance that they always assume may happen? >> yes, there is no question about it. they practice for these issues repeatedly out in houston, in the giant water tank they have out there that simulates zero gravity, they run through this simulation and they have done this repair before. but it is certainly a critical item. they have to have those two cooling loops, as they call them, working in order to keep the station cool and to keep experiments running, all the scientific experiments, which are not in any danger either at this point. those freezers are all working. but it is absolutely critical that they either fix it or find a way to fix it without a space walk. but certainly, that is the -- one of the main possibilities. they may have to go out there and replace it.
9:05 pm
>> thank you very much, indeed. now, to our big story. the man who has been called america's pastor. welcome back to you, franklin, and let me just ask you how your father is, put out a plea for prayer for him. you had this big celebration recently but he was taken sick shortly after that. >> he was, we had a big celebration in that room that night. and it was a wonderful evening. and i think that is the best i've seen him in several years. the strongest, articulate, but a few days later he got an infection, and he is home. his vitals are good, piers, he is very weakened. at 95, you don't have a lot of reserves to draw from. so i know he would appreciate it, the family would appreciate it if everybody would pray for him. >> you also released prayers to the nation, let's take a quick
9:06 pm
look at that. >> well, there have been times that i have wept as i have gone from city to city and seen how far people have wandered from god. of all the things i have seen and heard there is only one message that can change people's lives and hearts. >> there is a way if you come by the way of the cross. >> it is extraordinary that the parallels are there, really, between your father's life and nelson mandela. very similar ages, and we sadly lost nelson mandela last week. he knew him, didn't he, your father? he actually corresponded with him? >> i don't think they ever met personally, but they did correspond. my father preached in south africa but wouldn't go unless
9:07 pm
they gave an integrated meeting, my father said at that time he felt that apartheid was doomed. and he always spoke out against it. he spoke out against segregation in this country. >> we have a clip of your father in south africa in 1973, doing exactly what you said, speaking out. >> jesus was a man, he was human. he was not a white man, he was not a black man, he came from that part of the world that touches africa, and asia, and europe, and he probably had a brown skin. christianity is not a white man's religion, and don't let anybody ever tell you that it is white or black, christ belongs to all people, he belongs to the whole world. >> it is incredible, watching your father in action like that. he has had such a far-reaching and such a long-term effect on the american people, just as
9:08 pm
mandela did on the south africans. do you see anybody who is anywhere near the mantle of your father to take up that kind of spiritual leadership for america? >> i don't know, there are some great preachers in this country, some great men of god. and i'm sure that god will raise up somebody. my father -- this is not a position that my father tried to attain. it was not something he located for or worked for, it is just something that god did. and piers, if you ever see a turtle on a fence post, you will know the turtle did not get there by himself, and my father has always thought he was something like a turtle on a fence post. he realizes that god put him in that position, that he had all of those years. >> and i spent time during the week talking to my sons about mandela, explaining why his legacy is so important. i would imagine if they asked me questions about your father, what would you think would be the best way to articulate what his legacy would be?
9:09 pm
>> my father has preached the same message, and that is god's gos gospel, that god so loved metro world that whoever believes in him shall not perish, shall have everlasting life. my father took my message to the world, he never changed the message and never got off the message. and it is god's message. it is the gospel, and it is the good news that god loves sinner, and god loves me because of my sin, i had to repent, and accept his gift of salvation, and god raised his son to life, and i was 22 when i asked christ to come into my life to forgive me. >> fortunately, i'm sin-free, and i haven't had that experience, i'm just kidding, let's turn to "time magazine."
9:10 pm
i was thrilled that they gave it to the guy, as a catholic, has really shaken up the catholic church right to its rafters. what would your father make of pope francis? >> well, i can't appreciate on behalf of my father, but i appreciate the pope's identifying with the poor. and i think my father would agree with that. but again, i don't want to speak for him. but i do appreciate that his voice for the poor -- >> he does seem a man of great humility, like your father, like mandela. and this is an amazing story, tell me about what you do with this. the samaritan's purse, as you call it. >> this year, it is called operation christmas child. we collect over 10 milli$10 mils year, going to over 100 countries, going to the philippines, and these boxes are packed by families. and they put all sorts -- >> clothes and toys, toiletries,
9:11 pm
all sorts of things. >> the most important thing i ask people to do is pray for the children to receive the boxes. i don't know, but god does, we know that can you imagine, 10 million people, praying for 10 million people that what god might do for the children of the world. so this is injury packed by families and children all -- just packed by families and children all over the world. >> if anybody wants to help, www.cnn.com/impact. and it is amazing, i want to congratulate you on that, franklin. and you talk about prayers, everyone wants to join in prayers for your father, i hate to see him struggling, he has had had an incredible life, thank you for coming in. and an incredible story of survival, when we come back,

9:16 pm
donald trump is fired up tonight. and also the obama selfy picture that has everybody talking, as well, and i'm joined by donald trump in his luxurious apartment. what do you make of president obama, all over the tv for first of all, this hand shake, very deliberate, with raul castro? >> well, you shake hands with somebody, but he always seems to bow to foreign leaders, i don't see any reason to bow, i don't see it as very serious, he gave the wife a double kiss, that is the european version as you know better than anybody, i don't make a big thing about it. there is certainly nothing wrong with shaking hands.
9:17 pm
>> and the selfy picture? >> well, his wife seemed like he was not too happy. that was a tough picture because it was a funeral. now, you could also say it was a celebration of a great life, but nevertheless it was a funeral. >> to me it seemed a little bit disrespectful, but not something to get a little too animated about, unlike something like obama care. >> and by the way, you're right about that. that is much more serious. >> and it has been a disastrous rollout just from a business point of view. putting your business tycoon hat on, if he is going to carry on with it, as he appears to do, what should he be doing? >> well, it seemed like the website brought it out as a disaster, i know a lot about websites, i never spent a billion dollars for a website, it was the most expensive, and by the way, not the most complex. but the website brought it to light, you have to get it fixed.
9:18 pm
it is not fixed. it is very broken. there is no security. and frankly a lot of people who are signing up don't have the insurance. they go to the hospital and find out guess what? i don't have any insurance, or they go to the insurance companies. and it is a serious problem. i think it has had a terrible impact on his legacy, it could continue onward, i think it will on get worse. because so many people are losing their plans, 55 million people have lost their plans they loved. a doctor that they loved. i think it is going to get worse. now, the website may get better and may not get better, but the plan itself is really being exposed. 55 million people are out, they don't have it. >> the new figures show that total enrollment, 365,000, 1.5 million people have chosen, these are still very small numbers given the scale of people in america, the total population. >> but piers look at it differently. but 55 million are losing their
9:19 pm
plan and losing their doctor. >> was that more damage to the obama brand, they came in on this big deal, you can trust me, i wouldn't be like the previous guys, you can trust me. and that repeated footage that really got to me. you can keep your plan, you can keep your doctor. turned out to be a complete falsehood. >> well, it was a lie, i know they're trying to couch it differently. but it was a lie. and it was a problem and it is a big problem for him. and i would imagine there is a lawsuit in this some place. if you look at it, it passed by one vote. so when it passes by one vote and even democrats voted against it, what he said got people to approve obama care, democrats, and frankly i don't think it would have been approved if they knew. now, the democrats are running for the hills, you have a '14 election coming up. so many of them, i know them all, they're running for the hills. they are very, very concerned
9:20 pm
about obama care. >> on a positive note, employment in a five-year low, and the stock market soaring to genuine heights. >> the real unemployment is 13 to 15, maybe even 16 or 17% because so many people have given up looking for jobs. and as you know in the new count they don't include that. so you're looking for a job, and you don't have it, and they don't include it. what kind of point is that at 7%, the stock market, we're all getting free money. i was never a stock market person, about three and a half years ago i said i'm going to put a lot of money in the stock market because it almost has to get up and go up. and i look like a great genius. some friend of mine said you're a genius, i said i'm not a genius. >> i was going to say don't be too hasty. >> but i made tremendous investments in the stock market all because i said a few years ago i'm getting free money.
9:21 pm
>> aren't we in a situation, donald, where the very rich and successful and elite in america are enjoying this situation, because money is cheap and there is plenty of it for what you want to do. but for the vast majority of americans, it is still very tough out there. >> well, you know, piers, i'm a developer, i love cheap money. the problem with this term that we're talking about, if you don't need money, if you're like loaded. aos no interest, if you do need money, you're a good developer, you need money for a business put people to work, you can't get it. so for a person like me, i never have paid interest rates like this in my life, this is so low. so for me, it's great, but for people in america, i don't think it is a great thing. >> what about the bag figures, this came out for the level of students in america, number one, china, singapore, hong kong,
9:22 pm
taiwan, south korea, the u.s., 26th in math, 21st in science, these are catastrophe figures and an embarrassment to the united states, what is going on? >> well, you have finland and norway and sweden, and they're all just absolutely smiling at this country because we're not doing well. so the system is wrong. and we can't also maybe blame the students, do the students have it? i don't know, do they have it? i don't know, it is very embarrassing. we're so far down on the totem pole, now we used to be one of the top. now you look at all the countries, and they're way, way ahead of us. i'm a big education person, and so are you, by the way. that is a really bad sign for the future. >> well, the success of any nation going forward is always based around education. and if you look at what china is doing they are steamrolling ahead here with 1.3 billion
9:23 pm
people being educated in a better, better way. it doesn't look good for america in 30 year's time. >> it is hard to believe. and if you look at what is happening with china, i've been talking about it for years what china is do to this country, they are outsmart iing us in a in a business sense. >> it is funny, in this building i have the biggest bank in the world from china. i have other chinese companies, i speak rough about china. they respect it. they love trump, they want to be in trump buildings, they respect what i say because they know i'm telling the truth. i'm not knocking china, i'm saying it is amazing what our leaders are not picking up. you watch what our country is doing in terms of trade, the dollar, they're just killing us. >> let's play devil's advocate, i don't blame them for being aggressive, backing it up with education. the people i blame are american
9:24 pm
politicians for allowing it to happen. >> i have many friends at the top level of china, they can't believe they're getting away with it. so i agree with you, i blame the politicians, the leadership of this country, they're taking our jobs. the reason i said miami is doing so well is because of south americans, not because of this country, because all the south americans come and they want to be in miami. and that is a little bit artificial. that is something that miami has that other places don't have. so it is very sad. >> quick question about the potential next presidential race in 2016, a new quinnipiac poll, 42 would back chris christie if he ran, 41% would support hillary clinton. a marist poll, 41%, neck and neck, even now if it turns out to be those two it could be a very close race. >> it will be a close race and tough race, it could be people you never even heard of. nobody heard a number of years ago, six years ago of barack
9:25 pm
obama, nobody even knew who he was, and hillary clinton was supposed to get it. and all of a sudden he came along and he won. and it was close, we'll have to see what happens. >> let's take a short break, when we come back, we'll talk about the pope, time magazine's man of the year. and billy graham, i know you recently attended a party with him. i want to get your feelings on the great man. we'll be right back.

9:30 pm
i think franklin is a great man. i got to know him well. i was at billy's birthday party. you probably read about it. everybody was there. amazing evening. billy looked good. he's 95 years old and has difficulty but he looked good. he's a man who if you look so many years at the top, and i guess one of the reasons i love billy graham is my father and mother loved him. they would sit back and watch. there is a certain humility that he's always had and a special man. a tremendous heart and to be with him on his 95th birthday piers, was so wonderful. i loved it. >> the humility streak, nelson mandela had it, another great man who we sadly lost recently. when you look at mandela, i know you had the honor of meeting
9:31 pm
him, as i did. what did you make of him and the struggle? >> it's an amazing story to be in jail for, like, 27 years and come out and be a man of not only humility but he sort of -- i was reading where during the inauguration he had his jailer sitting in the front row -- >> amazing -- >> it takes a special man. he was a special man. i met him a number of times and liked him a lot and he was a special guy. there is no question about it. >> gm, the first woman ceo mary barra at the age of 51. a big deal for the auto industry and america. >> i think having a woman as the head of general motors and she's supposed to be outstanding. i have cadillac, a great relationship with cadillac. they sponsor the big golf tournament. it is really a company that is doing so well. cadillac has done so well and general motors has really, the parent of cadillac, they have done an amazing job over the last four or five years. so, you got to give credit. it's wonderful you have a woman as the head of general motors, a good signal. >> you have a very smart woman working for you, your daughter,
9:32 pm
ivanka. do you see young successful women all over the place? is it a good thing for america? >> it's a great thing for america. ivanka is exceptional, as you know, in fact, she sort of recommended you very strongly. you have to love her. but she is a very talented person. i have many, many talented women working for me, absolutely. they are doing great and that's a great thing for the country. >> raising the minimum wage is a big issue at the moment, and obviously, you have unemployment and poverty and a lot of people working and even after a whole day's work at mcdonalds or walmart, they don't have enough money to feed their family. are you in favor of raising the minimum wage? i know you employ thousands of people. >> you don't want to do anything to keep the incentive away for whether mcdonalds expanding in this country. at the same time you have to let people live. i heard something the other day that was interesting.
9:33 pm
the two ideas, for minimum wage, one for young kids that are in high school. and, you know, going to college and young and want to learn, and another for people raising families, gets very complicated and you get away from free market. there is a lot of debate right now on minimum wage. it does create problems. >> when you look at next year, 2014, a big year, what do you want to see happen? >> we need leadership. we need people that can pull people together. you look at what is going on in washington. you need a group of people and obviously, the one person, it has to pull everybody together. they are fighting, and even the dems are fighting with the dems now and they are all of a sudden going wild for obama care, they are fighting. the republicans obviously well-documented. in the last couple of months, they have been fighting. somebody has to be able to grab the bull by the horns and pull everybody together, and if you don't do that, we're just going to keep falling as a country. >> one thing i want to ask you, i interviewed warren buffet and
9:34 pm
got him to produce his wallet which had had a great big spread of hundred dollar bills. do you carry a wallet and cash? >> >> i don't carry a wallet. i have very little cash on me. i like to keep it that way. it's sad. i go to a restaurant, mr. trump it's on me, the owner. no charge mr. trump. i never need cash. if i was ever in trouble where i needed a meal, i'd have to pay. it's pretty unfair. >> warren sent one e-mail in his life. do you e-mail? >> i don't do a lot of e-mail. i don't like e-mail. every time there is an e-mail you have problems in courts -- >> that is what he said. >> i don't do many, either. i agree with him 100%. one of the smartest people i know, the head -- i won't mention his name. he made a fortune using e-mail, but he doesn't use e-mail because he says he ends up in court. i'm not a big e mail fan. >> do you use cell phone? >> yes. >> which?

9:41 pm
i went out, surfed two and a half hours. i was nearing the end of of the session. i had rode a wave until it ended, went under water, feet went down, wave rolled over the top of me, and i kicked off the bottom to come up to get to the surface. as soon as my feet came off the bottom, i felt something grab me. didn't know what it was at first. i thought i had startled something, and my first instinct was go limp. it bit me out of fear, right? that was like in the -- that was like in a fraction of a second i thought that. as soon as i thought that and went limp for a second, whatever had ahold of me started shaking and that's when i realized it was a shark.
9:42 pm
i could feel the teeth in me. i work on a fishing boat so i could tell what had a hold of me was a shark. i was in about chest deep water, and he was kind of backing up pulling away from me, so he threw my balance off, and i was coming into fight or flight mode. i thought real basic. if he keeps shaking on my foot, he's going to take away the lower part of my foot. i went down under water and his mouth was across the top of my foot, and i basically grabbed his nose and tried to match how hard he was squeezing my foot with my hands just squeeze and squeeze and squeeze as hard as i could and he shook and let go and took off. as soon as -- as soon as he let go, i had -- went from fight mode to flight mode. i was just out of there as quick as i could. hopped on my board. had a little wave come up behind me and i caught that immediately and paddled in.
9:43 pm
but about half way in, once i got in about a foot of water, something -- it was kind of funny. there was a mother there just waiting in the water. she's smiling at me waving. as i'm riding on my belly and i'm waving like this go in, go in, i got bit by a shark. she is smiling, waving at me. by the time i got up to her, she's still smiling and finally heard me say i got bit by a shark. that big smile dropped to oh my god. she had two little kids. grabbed them by the arm and picked them up out of the water and passed me running to the beach. she ran her kids in and sat them on the sand. >> what injuries did you sustain bobby, and what is your prognosis for a speedy recovery? >> when he grabbed me, say this is my foot, when the shark grabbed me, that top row of

teeth is like serrated knives, and the lower teeth are like forks, so he locked into the bottom of my foot and started shaking and the top jaw sawed down through my foot, and got into ligaments and stuff. that's why i had to grab him and get him off of me because i knew he would work his way through my foot. i got my foot back. good. >> pictures of you with your rescuers now. obviously a happy ending to a scary incident. good luck with your recovery. you must be mad to go back surfing but i guess that's part of the fun. thank you for joining me. >> thank you very much. nice talking to you. >> and you, take care. coming up, america's favorite anchor man, second favorite, the inspiration for the ever classy ron burgundy. wait until you meet the new anchor man on who ron is based. he is here next. it doesn't usually work that way with health care. but with unitedhealthcare, i get information on quality rated doctors,

salvage, who was your former co-star, she died, drowned in a car accident. he watched this documentary with this and saw this edgy relationship and he contacted you. >> well, i was perplexed and surprised until i read the history how he came about, this decision to do the film. people have asked me if i'm offended by the fact, that this blow hard air head egotistic character was based on me. i used to enjoy the mary tyler moore story. ted was a character and no resemblance to the anchor people, i know and myself, but i thought it was a good party and that's exactly what anchor man is. i don't take offense but laugh as hard as anyone because i tell
9:51 pm
my friends, it's not a documentary. if it was a documentary, i would be offended. if you read the history how he came to do this movie and how he existed at the time, a young female anchor was brought in to sit in at the anchor desk with more experienced older male anchors, and that did create some tension. and i want to set the record straight on the chauvinism thing, we had earned or stripes and paid our dues, i had had been a network correspondent for years, i had about 15 years in the business. my partner had been in the business 35 years, and now all of a sudden they're bringing in this young, good looking woman from texas who is only 25 years old. and they're giving her a major seat, a prime anchor position in a major market.
9:52 pm
and so i think the antagonism we may have felt, or the resista e resistance, was not so much it was a woman coming in, but we felt she didn't earn the position. now, she did earn it. after she got there, she turned out to be aineporter a go it, and you know, proved s hadheapacity to sin that chair and to do it with grace and skill. >> well, let's take a little look from the savage documentary. and this is quite fascinating, let's watch this. >> good evening, i'm mort crim with jessica savage. >> they're put that broad on the 11:00 news, that is going to kill us. >> you have to understand i was a traditional 1972 male chauvinist. i liked women.
9:53 pm
>> i love the ladies, they rev my engine, but they don't belong in the news room. >> now, mort, you did appear to be a self-confessed chauvinist, so your denial doesn't carry much credit, does it? >> as presidents and senators often say, i misspoke. i think the choice of the word "chauvinist" did not really accurately reflect what was going on. as i reflect on it, i don't think the antagonism was not that a woman was coming in. my daughter will tell you that i raised her to believe a woman can do what she wants to do. and i believe i was very much a feminist back then, so i used the wrong word. i was a typical member of the men's club, who had always worked in the news, so there was probably a little that. but as i said, most of it was
9:54 pm
the fact that we probably thought she just didn't pay her dues. and as evidence of that, once she came in and proved herself to be a hard working reporter and to be able to do the job as well as any man, and perhaps work harder than most of us, she was totally and fully accepted. and the bond of friendship became so strong there on the news, that after her tragic death, her mother and sister called and said we would like you to deliver the eulogy, because we believe that is what she would have wanted. >> let's take a clip here from snl. >> i'm piers morgan, i would like to remind everyone that i won the "apprentice." who lied about what? who is still hiding the truth and -- who, who, what? >> you see i'm pretending to laugh, but really inside, mort, it is killing me. i just don't talk that much. >> no, it is not.
9:55 pm
i watch you enough to know you have a great sense of humor, so i don't think you're taking it personally. >> i mean, putting that aside, ron burgundy is one of the gods of movie history, and indeed of anchormen and news people generally, because i think he is a wonderfully inspiring character. he never gives up. were you like that? were you a guy that just never gave up on a good story? >> i was pretty persistent, yes. i think perseverence was and is one of my qualities, my wife would say so. >> i'm told you were invited to the world premiere of the sequel? >> yes, it will really be a great opportunity for will farrell to meet me. >> and have you ever used the words -- i want you to be honest, you had a slight amnesia

attack with the chauvinism claims. have you ever used the words "stay classy, san diego"? >> only in a few interviews this week, but -- no, i have not. >> would you mind just humoring me with those immortal words, of ron burgundy? >> well, of course, it's your show, i'll do whatever you want. >> whenever you're ready? >> stay classy, san diego, and you stay classy, piers. >> i will try, as you know, mort it has been great talking to you. i wish you had been there, i probably was in my own way. i'll probably be in the british version, now mort crim, thank you very much indeed. >> my pleasure. >> we'll be right back. and to keep our commitments. and we've made a big commitment to america. bp supports nearly 250,000 jobs here. through all of our energy operations, we invest more in the u.s. than any other place in the world.
