tv Lou Dobbs Tonight FOX Business March 28, 2015 2:00am-3:01am EDT
2:00 am
them. and remember, monday is ask neil anything day. tie knots are far game as well. looking forward to your questions. my you spend time with us. now, lou dobbs. lou: good evening everybody. i'm lou dobbs. shocking new evidence tonight that confirms the co-pilot of the germanwings flight 9525 andreas lubitz should never have been allowed near the controls of the airbus a-320 that he helped fly. investigators have sufficient evidence to say unequivocally that there were many signs that lubitz's mental state, he shouldn't have been in the cockpit. they found a doctor's excuse for illness note for the very day of the crash. and investigators aren't saying what the illness
2:01 am
was. whether mental or physical. we'll have the very latest tonight from the scene of the airbus crash. we'll be examining the issues of cockpit safety and procedures and explore many of the questions that remain about the co-pilot's mental help and troubled history. all escaped his coworkers and the airline. we'll be talking with psychiatrist dr. keith ablow here later in the forecast. also, the iran iranian nuclear talks go on. diplomats descend on sweden. wrapping up tuesday. the deadline. the obama administration is ready to concede far too much to the iranians. as for the iranians, they're threatening now saudi arabia demanding that the saudi assault on the iran-backed houthi rebels end and end immediately.
2:02 am
we'll have the latest report from yemen and take a close look at the middle east and its growing number of flash points. we break down the president's disasterrous form -- with admiral james. we begin now with the intentional crash of germanwings flight 9525. the operating theory is that flight 9525 ended tragically in homicide and suicide by pilot. or in this instance, co-pilot. a dusseldorf hospital claims they treated the co-pilot two weeks before he committed mass murder and suicide. german investigators removing several boxes and bags of belongings today from his abuse he do you dusseldorf apartment. greg palkot with the story. >> the grim search for those killed on the german flight continues. recovery teams say they
2:03 am
found 600 pieces of remains of 150 victims. not a single body is intact. new revelations about andreas lubitz. the co-pilot who crashed the plane into the side of a mountain. in his home in germany it appears to indicate that lubitz hid an illness from the airlines. police found ripped up sick notes written by doctors even for the day of the crash. >> these items are being scrutinized under relevance regarding this case. we're hoping for clues regarding this man's motive. >> they say they never saw the sick notes. this german hospital confirms it saw lubitz the last two months. they reportedly say not for depression. police report they didn't find any suicide notes or confession or any political motivation for the incident. as a result of the crash which occurred when
2:04 am
lubitz locked the plane's pilot from the cockpit, some european airlines are adopting a new policy. two people must remain in the cockpit at all times. none of this helping families of victims coming to grips of their grief. some getting as close to the site as they can. among those remembering the life of one of those victims the father of 37-year-old american robert oliver. >> instead of focusing our minds and hearts on that last -- those last nine or ten minutes we prefer to think about those 37 years that we've been together, that we've shared our lives, our experiences, our fellowship. >> lufthansa will offer 50,000 euros. just under $55,000s in immediate financial assistance to the families of all those who died in the crash. many of them came a long way and a long wait
2:05 am
until the remains of their loved ones are identified. >> thank you very much. greg palkot. for more on the germanwings crash investigation, we're joined by allen. former crash information for the transportation safety board. and faa, aviation psychologist. the author of the book "air safety investigators." great to have you with us and to help us understand better some of what is going on here. unusual in so many respects. let's start with the very fact that this pilot, this co-pilot had so much trouble we now learn, and that escaped the attention of his coworkers, apparently his family, and certainly lufthansa and germanwings. how could that be? >> well lou, that's -- obviously it's extremely unusual. the german airlines, particularly lufthansa. and i've watched their training. actually i was out at that school in phoenix
2:06 am
where the co-pilot graduated. look they're heavily monitored. but this guy must have been very good at deception. unfortunately, much of what we look at in the aviation medical system is based on voluntary reporting. so i guess it's possible -- it is possible, obviously the barbecue this holds up for somebody to conceal this. but i think what the prosecutors are trying to find out was, did that physician that treated him know he was a pilot? was he certified as an aviation medical examiner by the german government? if that was the case and he didn't report it, i think there might be some criminal consequences. but, of course all this is still very much under investigation as they say. and, again even people at the airline might face some kind of charges. we saw this in another european case when the super sonic transportation crash, it wasn't a mental case. it was a material
2:07 am
failure. but the prosecutors went after even an american company that it contributed to the -- to the accident. so european prosecutors are very vigorous. and we'll have to wait and see what they come up with. >> are as an experienced investigator, are you satisfied that the theory now meets all the empirical evidence at least as its been revealed to us that it was the co-pilot. that he indeed was the person who locked the chief pilot outside of that door to the cockpit and that he is the one who set the controls on the autopilot to crash into the alps? >> yes lou. i think the evidence is overwhelming. you can call it circumstantial if you want. but, boy obviously i'm not a lawyer or criminal investigator, but it sure looks like a solid case. and, but they'll keep looking. they'll go and try to recover everything.
2:08 am
one of the things they'll want to do is try to find toxicological samples i hate to be grim, but major pieces of his body survive the impact, they'll be looking to see what sort of narcotics he had in his body. there's ways of testing for that. medical examiners know how to do that. it may be difficult given the fragmention. the other thing they'll look for is his baggage to see if the drugs he was on were actually be carried in his flight bag or suitcase. again, that will be a real challenge because of the fragmention. >> a couple of things we know to be the case. that is, there is psychological examination, if you will and testing that goes on for american pilots, but only at hiring among european pilots. do you think that's about to change? >> well first of all
2:09 am
that's kind of a complex question. i think it certainly may get beefed up, if you will. but, frankly, most of the psychological testing in this country is dependent on the airlines. you know, there are three levels. there's the un that issues guidelines. there's the individual countries whose regulators, the faa issue mandatory testing requirements. but in the united states, they don't to have take any kind of written test to be a pilot. now, if they want to be an air traffic controller those are faa employees, yeah they take written tests and go through very vigorous, if you will, interviews by medical personnel and psychologists. but it's usually up to the third line of defense the companies the airline companies in this country and in germany, to set the standards. so a lot of this falls to in this case lufthansa and germanwings. >> all right. allen, good to have you with us. thank you so much. >> thank you lou.
2:10 am
>> in the middle east tonight almost all-out war in yemen. expanding as saudi arabian airstrikes go on. saudi arabia and egypt are now considering a ground assault trying to prevent the houthi rebels and yemeni forces loyal to the nation's former president from taking full control of the country. the rebels today making broad gains in the country's south and east. the majority of the fighting centered on the city of aden. a port city where yemen's president was hiding before he was forced to flee to saudi arabia. the rebels now control all of the ground access to the critical port city. many of the forces loyal to the former president abed rabbo mansour hadi have been fighting with the hutis. they control the capital. (?) at least ten of the yemen 21 provinces.
2:11 am
aden. the focus of the majority of the saudi airstrikes over the past 48 hours. saudi and egyptian airships being employed at the strategic strait at yemen. likely where any amphibianuous attack would begin. they're hoping that yemen's president abed rabbo mansour hadi will be able to to return to reorganize his government and force the houthis into a power sharing agreement and prevent iran from controlling access to the red sea. yemen's prospectyemen's proximity makes it extremely important to protect the shipping lanes through the suez canal and through the strait where more than 7 million barrels a day are shipped to international markets. we're coming right back with much more on these developing stories. stay with us.
2:12 am
2:16 am
♪ lou: iran's foreign minister today demand saudi-led airstrikes stop. and he urged all parties to work for a political solution. >> we have condemned them. we believe that they will only cause cost lots of people's lives. everybody has to encourage dialogue and national reconnational recon silliation in yemen. >> that was the iranian foreign minister on a walk about. iran's foreign minister demanding saudi-led airstrikes against houthi rebels stop. and we will see what follows from there. we're now only four days away from the deadline for creation of a framework for any iranian nuclear deal. there are reports tonight president obama and his secretary of state have capitulated
2:17 am
on a critical element of any prospective agreement. mr. obama we understand may allow iran to keep and run hundreds of centrifuges under fortified bunkers. in return the iranians would agree to tighter limits on centrifuge work at other sites. the talks are ongoing in switzerland. the deadline stands at march 31st, which is only four days away. there's no let up in the ukrainian crisis. russian has withdrawn its forces and the white house has been put on the defensive after mr. obama refused to agree to the new nato secretary general's request for a meeting in washington. nato chief and granted an audience with national security adviser susan rice. they talked about transatlantic issues and plans for the next nato summit which will be
2:18 am
held next year. no specific mention of either ukraine or for that matter russia and mr. putin. joining us tonight former nato supreme ally commander dean. admiral james stavridis. admiral good to see you. let's start with the meltdown. at least it appears to be such throughout the middle east. this president's policies and initiatives are disintegrating. your thoughts? >> i think our policy in the region, lou is in tatters. and what we're seeing for the first time is a sunni national coalition centered on saudi arabia, that includes egypt and the gulf states moving against iranian-backed houthi rebels in yemen. this is a big deal. it will further enflame this sunni/shia divide that has put the entire region into flames with no us engagement. >> that divide which has driven so much of the
2:19 am
animus and the violence that has followed throughout the region, we're seeing something different. saudi arabia creating a coalition of arab states with which it has literally gone to war with the houthi and by proxy, iran itself. >> absolutely. and this, lou, is the manifestation of us disengagement from the region. now, we can't control all this. and there are huge forces at play. but our allies in the region, saudi arabia the gulf states egypt they don't feel they can trust us. and therefore they're taking this on, largely by themselves. we are helping them with some intelligence and some aviation support in the background. but this is real war coming to the region between shia iranians and sunni gulf states and saudi arabia. it's a powder keg waiting to blow up.
2:20 am
>> and in a region, a nation that has been blowing up for years iraq to see what is happening with us airstrikes in support of the iranian-led offensive against the sunni islamic state and the sunni citizens of tikrit, it is breathtaking in the fact that this administration seems to be contradictory throughout its policy toward iran. >> indeed. we need a coherent strategy here. and at the top of it needs to be ensuring that iran does not get a nuclear weapon. and i'm very concerned about the outlines of the deal that we're hearing about. i'm going to reserve judgment as we all should until we see what's on the table. but number one on our to-do list is ensuring iran the shia side of this equation does not get a nuclear weapon. if they do, not only will iran have a nuclear
2:21 am
weapon but saudi arabia will feel compelled to do so. thus we'll have on top of everything else a nuclear arms race in the region. >> and that does appear to be, although as you suggest, we can't make definitive conclusions about it, but that does appear to be the track that this administration and secretary kerry are on. >> yeah. i'm very concerned. again, as i said, we should wait to see what the deal is. but any kind of a deal that gives iran a clear path to a nuclear weapon is simply unacceptable. a, on the merits because we can't trust iran with a nuclear weapon. and, b because of the propensity to develop further states nuclear armed in the region. it's a recipe for disaster. >> and at this very moment, what do you suppose president vladimir putin is thinking as he watches the obama foreign policy in the middle east not
2:22 am
only collapse and meltdown, but create new conflict in effect? >> yeah, he's delighted. he's thrilled in the kremlin. the reason is, a we're distracted. b, our resources are being devoted in a come late to the party manner which is not very effective. and thirdly we lose international cohesion. (?) and unfortunately lou what i'm really concerned about, it will collapse the sanctions regime against iran. all this takes pressure off putin and off what's happening in ukraine while the president won't even meet with the nato secretary general which i find shocking. >> susan rice, though, in his stead. you don't think he would be placated by a meeting with the adviser who famously held forth on the benghazi attacks who also decided that bowe bergdahl was a
2:23 am
soldier that served with distinction. you don't think she's an adequate substitute? >> i don't think that will get it done for our nato allies. not to have a meeting with the president truly undercuts the secretary general in europe. that's a bad thing to do at the moment when we need cohesion within the alliance across the atlantic to stand against what putin is doing. >> and as you've said putin at this very moment witnessing all this must be utterly delighted. admiral james -- >> he's having a single malt scotch. >> always good to see you. >> thanks, lou. >> the house select committee on benghazi announcing that hillary clinton did not turn over a single document, failing outright to meet any part of today's decline in which she was supposed to turn over emails related to the terrorist attack.
2:24 am
committee chairman trey gowdy moments ago said not only did clinton not -- not only did she not provide a single new document to the subpoena but gowdy says she unilaterally decided to wipe her computer server clean and permanently delete all -- all emails from her personal server. according to congressman gowdy, clinton appears to have made that decision to wipe the server after october of last year, when the state department for the first time asked the former secretary of state to return her public records to government officials. be sure to vote on our poll. what disappoints you most? his assault on law enforcement? or perhaps his abuse of presidential power? cast your vote at loudobbs.com. well, nasa astronaut scott kelly embarking on a history making mission. a russian rocket blasted

astronauts up to the station. (?) since 2006. it's a good thing that russia doesn't have sanctions on us i think. up next republicans who would be president. changing their positions on issues ranging from immigration to israel. that means they're getting serious about their presidential ambitions. by commentary on this newfound political flexibility coming right up. and surf champion mark out for a wipeout of the year award without stepping foot on his board. we'll show you how coming up. ♪
2:30 am
lou: a few thoughts now on the, well the evolving positions as the 2016 presidential race starts to take shape. wisconsin's governor, scott walker, today well, down on the border touring the southern border with texas governor greg abbott. walker today looking to clear up his public views on illegal
2:31 am
immigration and border security while learning a thing or two from governor abbott. it was less than two years ago that governor walker supported amnesty and even downplayed a wall or a border fence. >> i think they need to fix things for people who are already here on deal with that -- or deal with that. i don't know why you hear some people talk about border security and a wall and all that. to me, i don't know that you need any of that. lou: well, he apparently is finding out. earlier this month the wisconsin governor made it clear he's changed his position on illegal immigration. >> and my view has changed. i'm flat out saying it. a candidate can say that. sometimes they don't -- >> so you've changed from 2013. >> absolutely. i look at the problems we've experienced, i've talked to governors on the borders and people all across america and the concerns i have is that we need to secure the border. lou: but walker isn't alone in demonstrating considerable flexibility on the issue of
2:32 am
illegal immigration. governor jeb bush wrote a book backing off his past support for citizenship but then the former florida governor claimed illegal immigrants come to this country out of, quote, an act of love and well, he's made it clear he's a business round table kind of guy now. senator marco rubio famously supporting a path to citizenship in 2013 as a member of the so so-called gang of eight, then he issued a mea culpa and has tried to convince folks he's ended that flirtation with ams inty altogether and is -- am amnesty altogether, admitting last month that comprehensive immigration reform as the president likes to style it, wasn't very popular. but illegal immigration isn't the only issue ripe for flip-flopping. the first republican to officially jump into the 2016 race senator ted cruz, has changed positions on marijuana. last month the senator said states have the right to legalize, but a year earlier the senator slammed the obama
2:33 am
administration for failing to enforce marijuana laws in both colorado and washington. cruz also announced this week that he will sign up for obamacare despite repeated calls and promises to repeal the president's signature law. senator rand paul well he's jumping in the race april 7th we understand, and he's flip-flopped on defense spending. two years ago senator paul called for deep defense cuts but just this week proposed increasing defense spending by $190 billion. and governor chris christie was for common core educational standards before he was against them. the new jersey governor adopted common core standards in exchange for federal funds. yet last month christie admitted he quote, regrets the decision. which decision he didn't exactly make clear but christie is certainly not alone in his regrets. the entire 2016 field seems to have brought a few of their own to the campaign trail.
2:34 am
now the quotation of the evening i thought we would turn to our founding patriots, if you will and tonight thomas paine. it was paine who said "i love the man who can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection." "'tis the business of little minds to shrink but he whose heart is firm and whose conscience approves his conduct will pursue his principles unto death." different times that must be the issue. we're coming right back. a democratic power shift in the senate. both the house and senate passed the republican budget. the president's foreign policy is in meltdown. we're joined by former reagan white house political director ed rollins.
2:38 am
lou: the former boxer, now senate minority leader harry reid deciding to hang up his gloves announcing he will not run for re-election in 2016, ending a three-decade-long career on capitol hill. well, joining us now another former boxer and four-time gold glove champion also the former reagan white house political director, republican strategist fox news political analyst -- great to have you with us -- is it four or five golden gloves? >> four. harry reid was xo'd by an
2:39 am
exercise machine -- [laughter] a lot of republicans would have liked to have ko'd him, and there's no sadness in my heart or anybody else in the republican party that he's leaving. lou: you know, there was no sadness that i could detect from senator charles schumer today as well. >> i didn't realize that it wasn't a relay race. usually there's an election. if harry reid wants to give it to assume orer, just resign his leadership post today and let them have an election. lou: well the republicans are interested, it seems to me, in sort of a monarchical sort of sequence. another bush stepping up to take the mantle for the bush family, the dynasty leads op. he's leading in new mexico, impressive -- in new hampshire impressive. >> got a long ways to the go. i happen to like jeb bush. i'm not supporting anybody in this race, but i think he's got a long, hard battle ahead. there's some very significant candidates who are going to try and talk him out along the way. unlike his brother who sort of got a pass because his name was
2:40 am
bush this one's not going to get a pass. if wins it, he deserves it. lou: i had a chance earlier this week to listen to senator ted cruz. i found him impressive, if i could say that. >> he gave a tour de force for his audience that particular kickoff. he sort of touched all the hot buttons. he's bright he's articulate, he also has a long-term battle to be the nominee, but what he will be -- he's 44 years old he's brilliant, he's a great debater -- he will come out of this nomination i don't think as the nominee, but he will be a significant force because he's going to become the leader of the tea party, and he's young. he and rubio are both young -- lou: they're going to be squaring off. >> the more important thing we're talking about bush. bush now has to win florida. they have moved their primary to march 15th, it is winner take all. if he does not win florida, that's his alamo, he's done. lou: and scott walker down on the border with, i think the
2:41 am
best attorney general that i've seen in my career. he is so impressive as attorney general, and i'm talking about governor greg abbott. >> he's a fabulous guy. he's smart, he is, he won in a very important state won a big election. he came up the hard way and i think to a certain extent hopefully he will teach governor walker some of the things about immigration, because it's going to be a very important issue to republicans this year. lou: and getting stories straight former secretary of state clinton i mean, today congressman trey gowdy coming out ask saying point-blank she didn't meet anything to meet the terms of the subpoena, didn't even try and, in fact apparently had wiped that server that she talked about at that press conference, wiped it clean following a request for the public records that were on that server. >> the clintons have a long history of ducking and dodging subpoenas and i think to a certain extent why she would do this on the verge of running for president is beyond me unless there's something she has to
2:42 am
basically tide or cover up. -- hide or cover up. lou: it's a little bit like the nixon thing the 18 minutes -- >> well, he should have erased all the tapes. [laughter] at the end of the day, maybe she's following suit. i think it's going to hurt her. she's already losing credit on honesty and trustworthiness that's a detriment. lou: ed rollins, always good to see you. >> my pleasure. thank you. lou: be sure to vote in our poll tonight, what disappoints you most: the president's disastrous foreign policy his assault on law enforcement or perhaps his abuse of presidential power? cast your vote an loudobbs.com. a would-be bank robber behind bars tonight because he ran into a guy who's both a good samaritan and a man of action. it took place in marietta, georgia where a bank customer who witnessed the robbery then decided to well, he decided to take action. the suspect was on the pavement
2:43 am
until police arrived on the scene. it turns out he's a former military man. he realized what was happening, went to his car and did the logical thing, grabbed his gun and tackled the suspect to the ground. other bank customers say they're extremely grateful for the veteran, glad he was there that day. >> it's amazing because we need to know that regular everyday people is willing to stand up for us. lou: well, up next dramatic new video revealing the exact moment when a massive explosion rips through a manhattan apartment building. you'll see it here next. and investigators uncover blockbuster evidence that could explain why aot crashed the aircraft intentionally. all of that next. @?
2:47 am
lou: breaking news now on a case the fox business network has been covering throughout the day a jury has found that venture capital firm kleiner perkins did not retaliate against former partner ellen pao by terminating her. pao losing her sexual discrimination lawsuit on all four claims that she had brought. on wall street stocks up slightly today down big for the week. the dow up 34 points, the s&p up 5, the nasdaq up 28 points. volume on the big board, three
2:48 am
billion shares. it's been a week of light trading, a down week as well. the dow, s&p and maas damage all down more than 2%. a reminder, listen to my report on the salem radio network. a storefront security video capturing a powerful explosion that rocked a new york city building yesterday. investigators have concluded that plumbing contractors working inside the building accidentally hit a gas main in the kitchen of first street -- a first floor sushi restaurant. turns out they didn't have a city permit for the work they were doing. the blast obliterated the building, rapidly spread to three buildings two of those have since collapsed. two people remain missing, the oh a customer of the restaurant the other a waiter there. i want to tell you about an amazing innovation tonight a potentially revolutionary fire exing ting wisher.
2:49 am
it's a fire exthing wisher that uses no matter of any kind, in fact. the invention of two engineering students at george mason university created this incredible device. it uses only sound waves to put out flames. low frequency sound wave that extinguish fires. the students say that it can be used to fight fires of all sizes all kinds. they believe it could even be attached to a trone to fight fires big ones forest fires and to protect firefighters and, yes, they have a preliminary patent application for their invent, impressive invention at that. a big wave surfer off the coast of california got a big surprise and proved ready for the test. look at that boat as he goes flying, watch the left side of your screen as the giant wave slams into the boat broadside. he instantly reacts diving out
2:50 am
into the wave. the surfer who has plenty of experience in the water wasn't hurt in the slightest. he even boasted on facebook it was the best wave he had caught all day although technically that wave caught him. up next, psychiatrist dr. keith ablow joins us to answer a number of questions about what could cause such a severe depression a depression so deep that it would lead to a young pilot's suicide by plane and the murder of 149 others aboard the plane. dr. keith ablow here next.
2:54 am
. lou: german prosecutors claiming that they found a tornup note for an excuse for illness in the home of germanwings copilot andreas lubitz. we know he was battling severe depression. joining us to help us better understand his condition and all that was transpiring as best we can at this early stage fox news medical a-team and psychiatrist dr. keith ablow. doctor, good to have you with us. >> thank you. lou: let's start with this depression. i was astonished that a doctor and presumably a psychiatrist, had given him a note excusing him from work, what does that imply about the knowledge of the psychiatrist or psychologist, for that matter
2:55 am
who was treating him that -- do you think it's likely he understood he was flying a commercial aircraft and lives were in his hands? >> you know, lou, it's certainly possible. i think that there is often not enough oversight and not enough critical thinking when it comes to not just today not just next week not even three months from now but six years from now. if you ask a limited question of a psychiatrist can, this person fly an aircraft, and you're talking about somebody who has overcome depression and says i'm back to myself and these medicines are fabulous, if that's the case. then you still have to think down the road, what it's like later if the medicines aren't working so well if he adds another medicine and changes his demeanor entirely. these are big questions. lou: and in medicine prescriptions pharmaceuticals are basically the psychiatric solution to dealing with
2:56 am
depression, are they not? >> well, i think great psychiatrists dig deep to find out what in someone's life story may have fueled the depression and it's also important to see what medicines might be helpful. those things together are tremendously powerful. i tell you, there are surgeons cops, government officials who have overcome depression with the help of psychiatrists. go onto do a great job, but a skilled and wise psychiatrist will say what's the follow-up plan? how are we going to check in on this person to make sure things haven't gone awry? lou: in this instance here had been excused and as we understand it whoever had given him that excuse note said he is unfit to fly. there is such a disconnect between the idea if he's unfit to fly but responsible enough in what state he was to turn in the note not to fly.
2:57 am
it's a peculiar moment. >> so several years ago he was deemed not fit to fly. took off 18 months. that's a long time. that's not as if to say i've had a glitch i've had a problem in a relationship, and i'm distracted. that sounds like a real battle with depression or whatever other conditions he was facing. and that would suggest that down the road, if you're going to do -- if you're going to accord him the trust, hey, let's have you fly then you also want to have a plan for how to ensure he's going to fly safely in the future, and some people may be offended but i would say that may cause very frequent checks by a psychiatrist who feels the heat. this is my responsibility. because otherwise can you do it once and say he's good tomorrow, but i can't say what he's going to be like six months from now. that's not the deal we can make. lou: you have professionally
2:58 am
dealt with all forms and wrote a terrific article for fox news on that. >> thanks. lou: talking about the people who overcome depression and the responsible jobs they've held and hold. i wonder why there's this retiscence on the part of companies. these airlines have people's lives in their trust and care. why they would insist on the psychological exam and i mean not perfunctory exams, but highly, highly effective exams to determine the state of mind of pilots. >> you know, they really should, lou, and while people say you can confabulate, you can make yourself look better than you are. there are scales in the psychological written tests that will show if someone is attempting to appear better than they really are. we do have some tools that can tell us if somebody is suffering from depression, even
2:59 am
if they don't want to tell us that. when you listen to the data from the cockpit recording. it's interesting because some folks with depression i'm not saying this happened with the copilot. but some folks with depression get paranoid. in the recordings they say they're talking in a very animated way, and as time goes on, the person gets very quiet, and you wonder boy, did the pilot who exited the cockpit say something that struck the copilot as some kind of concerning statement that triggered paranoia? lou: dr. ablow, good to have you with us thank you so much. >> all right lou, thanks. lou: time for a look at online poll results. we ask you any believe any country pleased more enemies and riled more friends than mr. obama? 92% of you said no. time for just a few comments. tim tweeted me to say lou -- it appears so. linda wrote on my facebook page --
3:00 am
imagine that. that's it for us thanks for being with us. have a great weekend. site. >> a rock 'n roll legend. >> crazy thing about roy orbison from 1959 to 1964 he had 21, top 40 hits. >> he dies too soon with 3 young sons. >> he sep secretly wanted us to be musicians but he was not going to push. >> i rubbed my eyes and look add the this. >> i have a cassette of a song nobody heard before. before. >> it will bring roy and his boys together again. jamie: had you always dreamt of plays with your dad. >> always, yeah. >> have mercy
