this time. and can a household supplement bring the near dead back to life? the potential power of fish oil, omega 3. late development in the school shooting that sent two students to the hospital. jason carol's is putting the pieces together. >> we have two students in confident. a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old. the 16-year-old turned himself in just about an hour ago. that's what we're being hold by police. the 17-year-old was arrested at his home in south philadelphia, shortly after the shooting. anderson, they were able to find him by looking at surveillance tape from the gym. that is where the shooting actually took place. police tell us from looking at the tape, it's unclear if the shooting was intentional, or if it was accidental. in any case, administrators were able to look at the tape, identify the 17-year-old student. they pulled his address,

dispatched police out to his house. they were able to make that arrest. what they've been unable to do at this point is find the handgun that was used in the shooting, whether it be intentional or accidental. >> so is there any indication of a motive here? >> that's a good question. still early on in the investigation. police are still trying to determine what the motive was, if any, if it was intentional, if there was a motive. but what we can say is two students were injured during the shooting, whether it be accidental or intentional. two 15-year-olds, a boy and a girl. but we're told their injuries were not life-threatening. the 15-year-old girl has already been released. the other 15-year-old boy, he's in stable condition. >> and two people arrested. was it two alleged shooters or just one handgun, do we know? >> again, they're trying to piece this all together. when i asked police about that, they said it's possible that perhaps one of the other suspects was looking at the gun, maybe they were playing with the gun. that's pure speculation from

detectives at this point. two in custody at this point. police are actually looking for a third. i'm told the third suspect is also a 16-year-old male. they know exactly who he is, they know where he lives and at this point police are looking for him. >> jason, appreciate the update. now a battle in how much the government should keep tabs on us. that fight which has been going on since john adams was present, sbensified with the edward snowden leaks. since then, congressional hearings, blue ribbon panels and more. today president obama conducted a public seminar on the drawback of the surveillance state, but also the need for it. joining us with what the president said and the changes he wants to make is jim achutea. >> anderson, this was a remarkable speech. he's speaking so openly about the most secret aspects of our most secret intelligence

programs. his mej was i see you, i hear you. and that she has a trust deficit both in the states and overseas. he said this really goes to the score of what it means to be america. here's how he described it today. >> when you cut through the noise, what's really at stake is how we remain true to who we are in a world that is remaking its at dizzying speed. >> he did say there are things he's not going to apologize for. he really does believe there's reason to have these programs to keep americans safer and overseas, he said that just because america has a greater capability, doesn't mean we're going to unilaterally disarm when it comes to spying overseas. he did say he's not going to spy on the leaders of our closest allies anymore. >> his critics say this is pr. how much change is he actually calling for? >> there are some real, substantial changes. one is, the nsa is going to need

judicial review when it searches that massive phone metadata. that's a big change, a big step forward. but as far as that mass of metadata, it's still going to exist somewhere, and the government will still want to search that to try to find patterns to prevent terror attacks. he left open a very big question as to where that data will live. he said he doesn't want it to live in government hands, it creates the potential for abuse. but hasn't figured out where it's going to be. could be with the telephone companies, with a third party. they even raised the possibility as they develop new capabilities, maybe they won't need to access that data in the same way. that's a big open way, though. in the meantime, it's going to continue, but at least with more safe guards. >> this has been precipitated by what edward snowden did. what did the president say about him? >> no. he said he's still, in effect, considers him a criminal. but it's incredible, anderson, and we've been talking about

this all day. this speech would not have happened without edward snowden, this debate, and arguably some of these changes would not have happened without edward snowden. so in a sense, victory for that programmer who bursts on to the scene last year. >> let's dig deeper from the guardian paper. the snowden leaks brought this story front and center. he's the author of the upcoming books, "no place to hide." also andy card, who is president of the creation of some of these programs, the chief of staff in the bush administration. >> glenn, do you believe the president went far enough in what he said today? >> no, not remotely. there were a few proposals that i think are positive steps, but the crux of it, why should the communications data of hundreds of millions, billions of people

every day be collected and stored and have the potential to be monitored and analyzed has been left unanswered by the president. that's an activity that the nsa will continue even with all the proposals are implemented. >> mr. card, what did you make of what the president said today? a lot of these were started when you were with the bush administration. >> i think he did a courageous thing today. not sure i agree with every aspect of his assertions. but basically he protected the ability for a president to have this tool to make important decisions about protecting america. i do not see it as a potential for abuse. if you store the data in the right place, you make sure that people who have access to the data have access only for that reason of protecting the country. i don't want it to be used to spy on american citizens. i do think it's important that the president have the ability

to understand the nature of communication within the terrorist networks and have that tool available so that he can prevent an attack. >> glenn, what about that? >> andy card of all people saying that there's really no reason to worry about abuse, given that the administration of which he was a part, got caught breaking the law, which the "new york times" won a pulitzer prize for disclosing, his administration was spying on the television calls of americans without the warrants required. now a federal judge appointed by president bush said it was a profound violation of the fourth amendment and even the president's own hand-picked panel said this metadata program doesn't play any sort of role at all in disrupting terrorist plots. it is domestic spying, how long we communicate, who we call, anybody who thinks that isn't

spying should post on the internet every month to what they're talking to. nobody would do that. and it's time that program stopped. >> your comments are a bit naive. because it's not the way reality is really functioning. there was no interest in spying on american citizens. there was an interest in collecting communications, using an algorithm to understand what kind of communication and if there was a better way to protect america. >> but it was controversial even back with the bush administration. the surveillance measures that you -- i mean, there was this issue of you and alberto gonzalez were accused by john ashcroft number two, the director of the fbi, of trying to get the attorney general to reauthorize certain measures while he was in the hospital. he refused to do so. so even back then among republicans there was concern about the -- >> that whole story -- this program did not become

declassified until december 21st of last year. so december 21st, 2013. i have not spoken about that incident at the hospital. there was no effort to get john ashcroft to sign something over his objection. soon as we learned that he was not the attorney general, we turned and left. but beyond that, i'm going to say the concerns that were raised were all addressed by the president and there was no effort to have everybody resign at the justice department. so this is something that has worked very, very well. we've learned as we've done it. it is controversial. i have more confidence in it the government doing the right thing than those who are afraid that it will do the wrong thing. >> glenn, one ever the recent rulings in a federal court, the judge said that the metadata program might have helped prevent the 9/11 attacks if they had interpreted a call from the united states to an al qaeda safe house in yemen. i knew there was a report that pushed back on the effectiveness of the whole program, but at least as far as the courts are

concerned it it's unclear if these programs have helped the united states or not. you say they haven't, but this judge thinks otherwise. >> the preponderance of the evidence, the right-wing judge -- the white house commission filled with loyalists, including the deputy director of the cia said the same thing, there's no evidence that this program is necessary to stop terrorism. there was one federal judge who accepted the government's aim claim that it could have helped stop 9/11. but two leading al qaeda experts, peter bergen, an analyst at cnn, and lawrence wright, who wrote defending against al qaeda, said those claims are absurd. the 9/11 commission made clear that the u.s. government had the in its possession what it would have needed to know about the nal attack. they got a memo saying bin laden

plans to attack in the united states. but they had so much data, they couldn't connect the dots. the solution was to gather more evidence, to collect data indiscriminately about billions of people around the world. that makes it harder to detect terrorist plots than if you're focused on actually terrorists. >> oh, how i wish you could sit in a seat to do the job of protecting the country. the president has a tough job. i want to help the president do his job protecting the country. the legislative branch acts for the future. judges act by reflecting on the past. the president has to deal with the reality of today. i watch presidents do that. i have confidence they can do a good job and this is a valuable tool for them to protect the country. >> the oath that the president takes when they get inaugurated

is to protect the constitution of the united states. part of that is the fourth amendment, not having all of our communications data, collected, monitored and analyzed with no evidence of wrongdoing. that's the responsibility of the president according to the constitution. >> that's why i would not like to see this migrate to the domestic side. >> i got to ask you, the president would not have been making comments today had edward snowden not revealed what he revealed. do you believe snowden is a traitor? do you believe he should face prison time? >> i believe that he is a criminal. i believe that he violated his oath of office. he violated his security clearances. and he should be held accountable for that. and i think his acts were not good for the country, not good for our efforts to protect the country and bring diplomacy to the point it can help protect

our national security. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> let's hear what you think. tweet me using hash tag ac 360. coming up next, told you about a charity that raised money for newtown victims. he just up and vanished and disappeared. we have new details about mr. bruce and where he might be. also a hospital plans to re-open the surgical unit where five children died without explaining to anyone what went wrong before. when you find out why, you'll be glad we're keeping them honest tonight.

more breaking news, this time in the search for alleged newtown charity shammer, robbie bruce. she's suspected of making off with $73,000. he's the founder of a group twauld 26-426. it held a marathon for the 26 victims. that event raised $30,000. money that was delivered to newtown to fund a youth center. after the raise, the charity kept raising money, $73,000 in all. that's now unaccounted for, until now, so is this guy, robbie bruce. >> drew, what have you learned?

>> tonight we've heard from an attorney based in nashville, anderson, who claimed to represent robbie bruce, and he is telling cnn, that, quote, we have already been in touch with the authorities, we'll cooperate fully with the inquiries made by the state of tennessee and that all of our communications will be with the appropriate agencies, this is from an attorney named jonathan farmer. he did not say where robbie bruce is. of course as we've been reporting on your show, the fbi, attorneys general in tennessee and connect, and the district attorney in nashville, have been looking for robbie bruce for the better part of this last week. once the charity co-founder told us she couldn't account for $70,000 that appears to be missing at this point. >> in the grand scheme of things, it's not millions of dollars that some charities have defrauded people of, but $70,000, we talked to the

family -- one family of a woman who was killed in sandy hook, one of the teachers, who said this man came to their house, this man defriended them. it was the soto family. he insinuated his way into their lives. >> the crime of this and i think it was articulated well by the attorney general of tennessee is so poignant to the sandy hook victims' families in particular. they have been the victims, you might say, the second victims of what is these online scammers who seem to be raising money in their victims' names. and it really is bothersome to those families. the connecticut attorney general is very serious about prosecuting these. whether or not it's a large dollar amount or not. and as you said, this robbie bruce, who befriended and was trusted by the families, seems at this point to have no explanation for why $70,000 in donated money, which was

intended for the sandy hook victims' families is missing. dry conditions are turni-- than 1,800 acres burned, several thousand people evacuated. >> what are we looking at here? >> these are some boxes. that is a two-story building that has collapsed due to the roof -- the wood in the floor burning through. and then the weight of the structure collapsing. so everything that burned from underneath just dropped straight down. >> imagine returning home to that. i understand there's new information tonight, what are you learning? >> it's a news conference that's happening right now. the firefighters updating reporters on exactly what

they're dealing with. they're saying they're making progress. the containment remains the same, 30%. acreage was bumped up to 1,860. but as far as the number of structures lost, that remains the same. this is one of them. a total of five homes were burned down. this was a two-story area, historic mansion was broken up into several different apartments. you can see that there's part of a kitchen, someone's belongings, the bath. and this is really the power and devastation of a fire. this went up very, very quickly. i spoke with that resident who said he was really just simply happy to get out with his life. because the fire, anderson, was simply that hot. >> and in these drought conditions in california are just terrible. >> terrible. and cal fire said just in the last two weeks, they normally

deal with about 25 fires. they've dealt with almost 150. so much higher than normal. and if you look at the hillside, case in point, you see how brown that is. that's not charred hillside. it's golden, it's sunset here. but that's normally, this time of the year, green. it's brown because there has been virtually no rain this winter. in 2013, los angeles normally gets 14 inches. los angeles only got 3. so what that means for any vegetation here, look, it turns right into dust. and that's all over the state of california, anderson. >> appreciate the reporting. now keeping them honest. a story that hits especially hard because it involves the loss, the possibly avoidable loss of very young lives. babies who went into a lexington, kentucky hospital for surgery. so much so that the hospital stopped doing heart surgery entirely. now a year later, management

says they plan to start operating again. but the way things work, they can do that without running their plan past anyone or saying what went wrong in the first place. >> reporter: what happened to these babies, behind the walls of kentucky children's hospital? jackson moore was the first to die. then caitlin allen. then mason hall. then connor wilson. than ray shaun. it 53 days i got to hold him. then he was gone. >> he was born and looked as healthy as any of my other children. then three weeks later, i was burying him. >> reporter: five babies, all dead after having heart surgery. surgeries that babies usually survive. >> did you ever get answers about your son's death? >> no. and we're sill searching. we asked and asked and asked.

>> it's awful to lose a baby anytime. does it make it even harder when you're never told why? >> something happened. can't nobody give me no answers. >> the babies all died within 11 months. shortly after the fifth baby died in 2012, the hospital decided to stop heart surgeries, and they put their only pediatric heart surgery on leave. but now, only a little more than a year later, kentucky children's says it plans to start doing heart surgeries again. shockingly, it seems no medical governing body is required to sign off on the hospital's decision to re-open the troubled unit. >> that's dr. michael carr, the executive in charge of kentucky children's hospital. last may he told us he commissioned an internal report on the heart surgery program. these parents hoped that report would give them answers.

but here it is, 102 pages long, and it doesn't explain why the babies died. in fact, it doesn't even acknowledge the babies died at all. >> how do you know when the problems have been fixed when they're not identified? i mean, they can say they fixed them. but is an internal review really objective? >> i expect nothing more from a health care facility than honest answers and whether it's good or bad, we should know. i mean, that's not too much to ask. >> last may, dr. carp told us, parents could rest assured. >> and parents should trust you, that you're re-opening and you're going to do a good job? >> this is america. they have a choice. they can trust us or not trust us. all i can tell them is, i'm not going to reopen until i feel good about it.

it's as simple as that. >> a spokesman for kentucky children's declined our request for interview. so we went to talk to dr. karpf as he was arriving to speak at a community center. >> can you tell parents why their babies died after having heart surgery at your hospital? sir, can you give these parents some answer 1234. >> unfortunately babies died after heart surgery at other places also. >> that's true. but other hospitals are far more transparent. they report how many babies die. kentucky children's won't say. >> dr. karpf, can you explain why so many babies died after having heart surgery at your hospital? >> but he's spinning the facts. at his hospital in 2012, after heart surgeries, children were dying at an alarming rate of

7.1%. that's more than double the national average of 3.2%. when it comes to how well his hospital performed specific heart surgeries on children, dr. karpf won't say. at other hospitals, you can find that detailed information right on their websites. >> these parents want an explanation and your report doesn't give an explanation. >> they'll be taking in patients again. how does that feel? >> it's scary. it's scary. just because we don't have answers. >> it really hurts they're going to open this program back up. i'm very scared for the kids. i don't want nobody to have to go through this again. >> what are you worried could happen? >> the same thing that happened to my baby. the same thing that happened to their babies. i never brought my child home. he never left the hospital. he was three weeks old. >> kentucky children's hospital says it will do things differently this time.

for starters, the original heart surgeon who was put on leave eventually left. so the hospital plans on hiring a new heart surgeon. it also plans on creating a dedicated sbensive care unit just for heart patients and it's considering partnering with another hospital for pediatric heart surgeries and kentucky children's says they plan to no longer perform the most difficult types of heart surgeries, but that doesn't satisfy these parents, who are left mourning their children, tortured by unanswered questions. >> i don't think it gets any easier, ever. and that it ever will. i've been told my entire life that time heals everything. i don't believe that. i still miss my baby every day. >> it's heart breaking. how come the program can reopen without any external oversight?

>> they were never cited for doing anything wrong. >> it seemed like they had a rough time with these surgeries before. have they said why they want to start doing them again? >> they said it would create a hardship if we didn't offer these surgeries. others say, people could go to other hospitals. they think the hospital wants to do them again because these are lucrative surgeries, they reimburse at very high rates and children often need many of them. one little boy in the piece, in his short life, he had ten surgeries. so these children represent a lot of money to hospitals. >> elizabeth, appreciate it. thank you very much. you can find more on the stories at cnn.com. >> vladimir putin says gays are welcome to sochi. how does that stack up to the facts? also tonight, a teenager's remarkable recovery.

keeping them honest. the winter olympics are three weeks away. today vladimir putin put the word out that gay visitors have nothing to fear in sochi as long as they stay away from kids. he actually said that, listen. >> we do not ban anyone or anything. we don't detain people on the street. we don't hold anyone responsible for those relations, unlike a lot of other countries in the world. that's why you can feel free,

relaxed, but leave children in peace, please. >> leave children in peace. putin was meeting with a group of olympic volunteers when he made those remarks. his intimation that gays would prey on children isn't much of an outreach after they passed a ban on homosexual propaganda. m anti-gay attacks are on the rise in russia. look what happened to these women who kissed in protest of russia's treatment of gays. human rights groups say they're being beaten while the police look on. vigilante groups have been using the internet to meet and ambush gay men. they call it going on safari. >> this is one video, a man's hair is shaved and a rainbow is painted on his skull. later he's made to drink what is

in this message, but i knew at that point, i think i need to make a decision. i can stay the private guy that i've always been, or i can stand with these other people and be open about my private life and i decided to make the statement. >> there are some in the gay community, some not in the gay community, who believe there should be a boycott of the olympics, or that treats should carry a rainbow flag or a pin or make some sort of a statement. where do you come out on this? >> we should not have boycotted. athletes spend their entire life dreaming about representing our countries in the olympics, they put in a lot of work. i think there's their job, when they go to the olympics, they are there to represent our country and fulfill their dream. i mean, that's their dream. and also do the best job that they can and represent our country in that way. that's why i think delegations like this are important. it gives them -- they can focus on what they're doing and then the other people can step in and

basically make statements by just getting off the plane, who we are is making a statement. >> so you don't see yourself making any kind of an actual statement. you feel just by being there as an openly, proud gay man, that's statement enough? >> i do. i don't have any plans to host any rallies or anything like that. i feel that it is making plenty of statement of being open and being there and i'll talk about myself when i go over there, if people ask me questions, i will. but you also have to know that you're a visitor in someone's country and you have to have respect for that. >> do you feel different now having made the statement? does it feel like walking into a room and knowing, all right, everybody knows for sure? >> i don't know. it's weird. because it's a different situation. it's funny, because i'm a figure skater. so a lot of people presume that figure skaters are gay. the interesting thing was

growing up in figure skating where it really isn't what people presume it is. and it's mostly straight men that you're competing against, and you're the one gay kid in the dressing room. and it's an awkward situation. it's not at all what people think it is. and it's in fact it's a lot of the opposite stuff. i feel like this is a really great opportunity. i feel like now as time goes on, i'm like, wow, this is really a great message to send and i'm really proud of the message that i'm going to send when i go over on the delegation. so that right now, it's so new and fresh to me, that i don't really know how i feel. but i'm sort of figuring it out. and the pride word comes to my mind in that i'm standing up for tolerance and diversity. >> brian, thank you very much. >> thanks for having me. just ahead, doctors told his parents that he would not survive after a hit and run left him clinging to life. they didn't give up. now they credit massive doses of

when someone you love is lying in a hospital bed hooked up to machines, unable to speak and breathe on their own, you take hope wherever you can find it. sometimes, such as in the case of this 13-year-old, that hope is pretty hard to find. in that case, and the case of marlisa munoz, brain death

really does mean dead. however, in some instances, a brain that's not dead, but very badly hurt, can not only survive, but sometimes recover completely. for a california family, finding the answer was non-negotiable. where their search took them, a complete surprise. dr. sanjay gupta has their story. >> reporter: grant virgin's family knew only a few details about his accident. a white car, a hit and run, a teenager airlifted from a bloody scene, nearly dead. they rushed to the hospital to find out if he was still alive. >> it was a tough scene when we got there. >> the doctor had a really, really bad look on his face. >> that look was a reflection of grant's injuries. they were staggering. his er doctor told grant's family to let him go. >> the fact that this doctor wasn't fighting for his life

just blew my mind. he's not dead yet. why would you just, as a parent, how could you ever let go, not knowing that you hadn't done every single possible thing that you could for your son? >> doing every single possible thing was going to take grant's family on a wild journey, full of twists and turns, and some unconventional therapies. two weeks after his accident, after several operations, grant was in a coma. his heart was okay. his brain was not. >> the doctor told me, she goes, okay, now we wait. surely there's something we could do. >> she goes, no, nothing we can do, just wait. the brain has its own time schedule. >> in what would become a theme, impatient. grant's family swept aside that doctor's advice. first they tried progesterone, which may reduce inflammation in

the brain. soon afterward, his family says grant began to speak. then grant's mother got an e-mail with a link to this story. >> he never would have come out of a coma if it hadn't been for the use of omega 3's. >> the cnn story was about high dose omega 3's, found in fish ail, and how it may have played a role in healing traumatic brain injuries. the first time this had been done, 2006 after a mining explosion. 12 miners died. only one survived. but his brain was badly damaged. his team of doctors, including barry seers, figured this, about 30% of the brain is composed of omega 3 fatty acids. giving him a large dose of fish oil might restore function. >> yeah, i'd just like to thank everybody for their thoughts and prayers. >> after the fish oil, he made a

dramatic, full recovery. the science is not clear. there have been no large studies, and it didn't always seem to work. but despite that, grant virgin's family, a combination of desperate and determined, decided to give it a try. >> i don't want to wait 20 years, while they do a bunch more studies to prove it really works. i don't need that. >> grant was given 20 grams of fish oil per day through his feeding tube, even more than randy mccloy got. in december of 2012, nine weeks after his accident and only two days after starting high dose fish oil therapy, grant virgin made a phone call. >> it was unbelievable, a couple days into giving him the fish oil, he now is talking in sentences. >> in time, grant became more animated. and soon, he was walking. >> starting with january. >> january, february -- >> here is grant, a year after

nearly dying, a year after his family was told to let him go. >> grant virgin, i'm 17. going to be 18. he is doing everything doctors said he wouldn't. >> it's incredible. so far there are no large-scale studies on the effectiveness of omega 3, but trials are imminent. a lot of people will be watching for results. dr. sanjay gupta joins me now. how is grant doing today? >> just about everything that they told him, the doctors told his family that he wouldn't be able to do, he's now doing. it's extraordinary. and again, the er doctors had told his family to let him go. he's now running, he's speaking. he's made leaps and bounds above where he was just even a few months ago. >> do scientists or doctors know what effect omega 3's have on the brain? >> they have a good idea.

talked to some scientists at the 2346789 ih, there's been some evidence that omega 3's in high doses can help prevent sells in the brain from dying. when you have a brain injury like this, you're building pressure in the brain, it can kill brain sells. so it can also act as an anti-inflammatory in the brain. but the most important thing, the thing i found most fascinating, the brain itself, in you look at it, about a third of it is made up of substances that are similar to omega 3 fatty acids. so essentially you're trying to replace the very substance that the brain is comprised of, with this thing that you can take by mouth, or in this case, in this feeding tube. >> if i'm watching this at home, should i just start taking omega 3's in large doses to ward off

alzheimer's? >> it's interesting. we talk a lot about the idea of supplements and you know my stance is i don't take many of them. i don't think there's a lot of evidence that most of them work. i have a difference stance with regard to omega 3's for exactly what you're saying. i think short of having a head injury, that it can provide some benefit, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant benefit to the brain, it's really compelling. the one down side, i think, is that it can sometimes cause bleeding problems in people. so if you've just had a trauma, you're worried about bleeding, you got to be careful giving the high dose omega 3 fatty acids. b >> so how much do you take? >> the dose -- you really have two main ingredients, epa and dha. everyone look at their bottles and see those ingredients. in combination, they should be about a gram for day. >> and check with your doctor

before they do this? >> if you have a concern about a bleeding disorder, talk to your doctor. you don't need a doctor's prescription for this. and they talk about cardiovascular health and brain health being impacted. >> sanjay, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> we want to point out many proponents of this receive money from fish oil companies. they believe it works. they also of course stand to profit. you can consider all of that. watch sanjay's full report on sanjay gupta md, saturday at 4:30 p.m. just ahead, what a new report has to say about smoking. it's worse than you thought. and before you indulge at starbucks, you want to make sure your phone is up to date. we'll explain some new security concerns next. so life can look more vivid and vibrant. why settle for a lens with one mode.

time now for the "ridiculist." tonight i want to talk about one of my favorite subjects, professional football. it's a aboutig weekend coming up, the two games what will determine who's in the super bowl. i will thank the floor crew to

stop snickering. i know a little bit about football. i'm a well rounded citizen. on sunday the patriots face off against the broncos and the 49ers take on the seahawks. if there's one thing i know about the seattle seahawks, is that russell wilson can fake the read option, put the ball out and drill it to his tight end on a button hook, regardless if the 49ers are running a zone blitz or using a nickel package. did i get that right? i have no idea what that means. i do know the seahawks have some die-hard fans. they dress up, paint their faces and know how to make some noise. seismologists say that seahawks fans shook the ground so hard last week in the defeat against the saints, that it was enough to register a small earthquake. there's even a tattoo parlor that's offering discounted tattoos through the playoffs. >> you're getting your team's logo on you for good.

hard to call you a fair-weather fan when you have a tattoo on you. >> i cannot argue with that. but one fan is taking it to another level. at the beginning of the season, he got a tattoo proclaiming them super bowl champs. tim is, as you might imagine, confident about the seahawks chances. >> i'm not crazy at all. there's no tiny little bit of doubt in my head. you wouldn't see a 49er fan doing this. >> listen, tim may not have a doubt in his mind, but the tattoo artist that gave it to him did have a moment of trepidation. i said, hey, man, people are going to attack you that you're the jinx of the team. >> the jinx factor, plus what happens if the seahawks lose? remember the guy who got mitt romney tattooed on his face? he said he had no regrets. >> it's something i believe it. a lot of people say, you shed

blood for the party, you're a republican hero. i'd do it again in a heart beat. >> yeah, yeah, except he changed his mind a few heart beats later. he was announcing he was going to have it removed. to tell you the truth, i don't believe the guy with the seahawks tattoo will go the same route. always nice to see permanent optimism on the "ridiculist." thanks for watching.
