rose. >> how long did it take? >> the hike itse was five days going up and another day and a half to come down. >> did you it for charity. >> for some water projects. i'll show you some video, moving pictures. we can do that on television. >> fantastic. see you back here if an hour. >> "outnumbered" starts right now. >> this is "outnumbered." today's hashtag one lucky guy, former prosecutor and veteran criminal defense attorney, mark, and we remind him, he is outnumbered. god to see you. >> outnumbered. >> we flew you in from south beach. >> i'm a little concerned. outnumbered. do you know who also is outnumbered? i looked this up. the native americans were also outnumbered and many were slaughtered. >> we'll treat you a lot better. >> thank you. >> thank you for the history

lesson. >> yes. thank you. right now, u.s. health officials have yet to tell us exactly how a dallas nurse got the deadly ebola virus despite wearing protective gear if they even know at this point. we're waiting to hear. we're learning more about her identity and bravery. 26-year-old nina fam is the first person who contracted the virus in the united states. she's said to be in stable condition. doctors administered a blood transfusion from one of the americans who survived the virus. friends say they are not surprised she did everything she could to try to save thomas duncan, the liberian man who died after travelling to see his family in dallas. fam is part of a team of 70 health care workers who treated duncan and now they're being monitored for signs of ebola. so far, no word of any. word of her condition comes as new questions are being raised about america's readiness to deal with the deadly virus and national nurses union warning

most hospitals are not ready to deal with an ebola outbreak in the united states. survey reveals 85% of those nurses said hospitals have not provided them with enough education about the virus. and the world health organization is announcing that ebola is continuing to spread in west africa and the region could face up to 10,000 new cases per week within the next two months. so these are some big developments this morning. and andrea, i want to go to you first on this. this idea of preparedness and really what we've learned through that nurses union survey, your thoughts? >> we've learned we're not prepared and the administration has only recently treated this as a major problem. we learned about these initial ebola outbreaks in august. i mean, we heard about this happening in africa months before but harris, i think it was a big mistake to get behind the curve on this and that's where we are. we're playing catchup right now and i mean, every headline seems to be that we're not asked had as we thought we were and the financial strain on, i think, a

health care system that's already strained has been exposed. we really see just how, even though we have the best health care system in the world, how we still have a lot of weaknesses. >> i want to get this in there because i thought this was an important part of the story that was breaking this morning. private companies are really getting in on this now and sandra, you know, in liberia, firestone tire and rubber company actually stopped an outbreak. they had a few employees that had gotten ebola and they were able to contain the situation s throughout the town. but private companies are coming on board in a lot of different ways right now. >> mark zuckerberg, the 30-year-old founder of social networking site facebook, he and his wife priscilla just announced this morning on mark zuckerberg's facebook page that he and his wife are donating $25 million to the cdc. their basic take-way from his notes about why he and his wife are doing this, they want to stop it there before it comes

here. they believe that it's reached a critical turning point and it's preding quickly but this is deed private money. cofounder of microsoft donated $9 million to the cdc last month. there are more individuals and companies jumping on board. >> we heard former congressman rand paul. he talks about the firestone company and he said it's going to take privatization of this over more government. >> it just shows the power of private companies. and that's what it should be. i misspoke yesterday when i said each state should have a special facility. i think there should be four or five that the ebola patients go to. they should have four or five helicopters they use, that they get these patients, put them there, keep them there until they have isolated it. also stop the flights from the region. >> your thoughts? >> governments are taking drastic actions. not ours just yet but countries like the ivory coast, the

largest producer of raw materials needed for candy bars like cocoa. so you've got -- they cut there but they said no one from liberia origine can -- or guinea can come in. >> there's a lawsuit we know about this morning that's been filed by this group, freedom watch, one of its founder, actually, a former u.s. department of justice prosecutor and he's suing the president and the cdc over the ebola epidemic. your thoughts about that and can that fly? >> no. those lawsuits generally go nowhere but it raises awareness. we talk about it. it puts pressure on the government to say, we need to find out how someone who is fully clothed in protective equipment can contract this deadly virus and somehow, nurses don't know the protocol. so i think it's good for that reason. >> in the meantime, the man at the center of the ebola crisis,

cdc director has bill o'reilly raising the question whether or not he's up to the job. >> freeden should resign as he well knows. charter flights could carry medical and military personnel to the affected areas in africa and that's the way they should be transported, believing that civilian airport people in jfk or newark or dulles airport can spot ebola that is dormant, believing that is stupid and irresponsible and puts all americans at risk. it's a dumb and dangerous rule and frieden knows better. >> bill o'reilly fired up. >> i love bill. >> i want to go to you first on this. yesterday i suggested the idea of a czar and i hate czars so let's not use that word but what about a point person? >> he's a doctor, not the p. rf

specialist. >> but he's a point person. if we add another person, they'll have another person to blame. >> so you would support frieden staying? >> no. i think he should go. we should find another guy who can really do something and can execute it. >> i disagree. for right now keep him there, keep your eye on him. >> we don't have time for that. >> bring in a czar. i don't care what you call him. just let us know that something else is being done to stop this. >> it's like the nurse. oh, it's because something happened. they didn't know how to be trained. i don't want that. i don't want the questions. >> top homeland security adviser is supposed to be the point person. >> it's not a political hack. but i don't think frieden should step down. he's a doctor, he knows about ebola, knows about the cdc. just get him out of the spotlight, away from the podium and bring in someone that can do crisis management and put in a battle plan that the public

trusts. not a hack. >> do you guys agree -- i disagree with o'reilly. he wants the truth. we can't handle the truth. you want the guy to look in the camera and say, folks, we are screwed. we have no idea how to control this thing. >> you're crazy. >> that's what he would say. and we say this thing about coughs, it can't be transferred by coughs. we don't know that, folks. >> we've had 19 years to figure out how to deal with that. why haven't we? >> we asked about lisa monaco. we have an opening with regard to this. >> the nation's doctor. >> it's the surgeon general. my question would be, and andrea, maybe you have thoughts on this. the president put forth a nominee, conservatives in the party don't agree with that person. they're going back and forth over things that are very important issues but if this man is a good doctor and could take over more of a p.r. move so

frieden can get back to doing whatever he should be doing, just a thought. >> we have to stay with the political scene. both parties are using ebola as a political tool. harris just talked about it. democratic and liberals are running ads saying that republicans voted to cut the budget to fight ebola. republicans are trying to long standing concerns about the mexican border. i'm going to go to you first, sandra. cdc funding, democrats instepped of handling the issue are trying to blame republicans. i dug deep. funding for the cdc up over $100 million. specifically they have not allowed for ebola funding. if the administration wants more funding for ebola, ask for it. have an emergency supplemental. >> they're getting more private funding. listen. as we face midterm elections, it still has time to take shape, the top talking point. americans are saying they're

more concerned about the spread of ebola virus than they are about the midterm elections themselves so you'd better believe the republicans and democrats are going to have -- they're going to see the epidemic as a political talking point. it shouldn't be politicized. >> i think the overarching issue is trust in this administration so whether it's isis or ebola, they have to deal with trust. if you politicize the epidemic potentially, that could be really negative for either side of the political. >> i agree. >> life or death. it's a big issue. >> it makes you go, hmmm, because they're politicizing it. >> i think it could backfire if you look at the funding, democrats are way off the mark on this. it's just a blatant lie. all right. coming up next, with the midterms just around the corner, new numbers show voters prefer the republican party on most of the major election issues. democrats ahead on just one big topic so what it could mean when voters head to the polls next month plus a state lawmaker goes

on a rant about two female politicians vying for the same job. he says one looks like a drag queen and the other is, quote, truly attractive. we'll debate what this says about women in politics and how they're viewed and catch more on the couch. join us for outnumbered overtime. tweet us questions, comments, anything for mark, legal questions? s charlie.

californians are discovering the real risks behind prop 46. it was written and paid for by the trial lawyers to make them millions... while, for the rest of us, health care costs go up. no wonder every major newspaper in the state opposes prop 46. they say 46 "overreached in a decidedly cynical way." it's a ploy "for trial lawyers to enrich themselves." and prop 46 has "too many potential drawbacks to be worth the risk." time to vote no on prop 46. the ultimate arena for business. hour after hour of diving deep, touching base, and putting ducks in rows. the only problem with conference calls: eventually they have to end. unless you have the comcast business voiceedge mobile app. it lets you switch seamlessly from your desk phone to your mobile with no interruptions.

because i sometimes wonder, and i saw a report where the white house is saying to democrats who were running in the mid ferm terms, if you have to go on the offensive, feel free to do so. i wonder if there's not a split we're not knowing about in the party on certain issues. >> here's the polling we're looking at as far as way out front in their handling of equal pay for women, democrats 63% in favor and g.o.p. and congress, 25%. >> but if you look at the issues what's most important, equal pay for women. not one, not two, not three, not four so that's not going to drive voters to the polls. i think the big ones are the economy. i actually think national security and ebola. that's going to be something big which is typically not what you see in midterm elections. >> equal pay for women is redundant. in 1963, kennedy signed the equal pay act so i don't understand why they're doing it again. >> here's the question. looks like everybody likes the republicans on five out of six

issues. why wouldn't they vote for the republicans then? >> exactly. why? >> no. that was a question. it wasn't rhetorical. >> i'm asking you. >> i'm asking you. >> why are you asking me? >> republicans have a brand issue. a couple of weeks ago, over 70% of americans have an unfavorable opinion of the republican party. there's no question they have work to do on this. >> so they like how they stand on the issues. they just don't like the republicans. >> they have a brand issue and a messaging issue which we saw in the last election and by the way, those voters that feel that way have to actually show up and vote. >> do you know what? our next topic may point to why. a state lawmaker in new hampshire is coming under fire after blogging that a congresswoman will likely lose her seat to another female candidate because of her looks. republican steven vallencourt wrote of her, quote, does anyone not believe that congressman custer is as ugly as sin? i hope i haven't offended sin.

how ugly is annie custer? sad to say but drag queens are more attractive. they looks more than a drag queen than most men in drag. ouch. but she seems to have a better opinion of garcia, the republican running against him saying she's one of the most attractive women in politics. he's writing, how attractive is garcia? you know how ad makers usually go out of their way to find an opponent not looking his or her best? democrats and supporters can't seem to find a photo of marilinda garcia looking bad at all. i think collectively after we all sat on the couch, you can say shut up. what is he thinking, harris? >> it's negative and i mean, again, it just speaks to the issue is everybody on the same page about this issue? i don't think it's a party thing. either you're in favor of supporting women or you're not. and i mean, seriously.

why look at the attributes of another person physically? >> why comment on a woman's appearance? >> i disagree with you. i don't want him to shut up. back in the 1960's when jfk debate the nixon, those who listened to it on the radio thought that nixon won. those who saw it, jfk. you tell me why. >> you're saying that looks matter in politics. >> studies show, common sense dictates. come on. >> do you think that he should comment on women's looks? is that smart political strategy? >> of course not. >> but wait. we did that with chris christie. everyone said he couldn't win because he was overweight so they did it with the man. >> it's not just a woman. >> it's not just women. >> sandra, it's true. republicans aren't the only ones who stick their feet in their mouth. we saw last week stefanik

getting challenged for saying she had nevedone manual labor. i would say it's just a man issue but wendy davis we see sticking her foot in her mouth all the time. >> i think that he looked like he knew what he was doing when he did it so i don't know what the pepper was but this degrades anything the lawmaker has to say again. it's not just about women. was it a smart political decision to talk about a woman's looks like that? absolutely not. if it was a man, would it be different? absolutely not. you don't put anything like that out there. >> those who say that looks don't matter are being intellectually dishonest. >> is it harder or easier to be attractive and running for office do you think? >> harder. >> why? >> because you have to be smarter. you have to prove you've got brains and not counting on the looks. >> i'm not saying beauty is a curse but doesn't it benefit at all? >> of course. absolutely. >> people who are better looking get more public relations terms and you know this because you've

been on campaigns, right? >> true. >> these aesthetics, something that draw the cameras near and what you're looking for particularly at the beginning of the campaign is a lot of press. >> the unemployment rate of hot chicks, zero. just so you know. >> didn't hurt palin, at least initially. >> but she took a lot of heat for it. >> charisma. sometimes it doesn't matter what you look like if you've got a great charisma. >> well, yeah. it helps. >> all right. growing concerns that isis could soon take control of the key syrian city of kobani. does the administration need a new strategy? ♪ i remember when i wouldn't give a little cut a second thought. when i didn't worry about the hepatitis c in my blood. when i didn't think twice about where i left my razor. hep c is a serious disease. take action now.

chiefs from more than 20 nations, all participating in the fight against isis. u.s. fighter jets seen flying over the key syrian town of kobani near the turkish border. in one of the heaviest days of air strikes yet n. iraq those coalition strikes don't seem to be doing the job. isis fighters seize a key military base and edge closer to taking full control of anbar province. i'm going to get your take on this first. does there need to be a change in strategy? >> i think there has to be. what happened to the bombing? we bombed. i thought that was going to take care of it. i'm not an obama barber but anyone who says this is our game plan, we will not do this, not do that, former chief of staff criticized and said ambiguity when you're dealing with isis is what is your friend. you don't want to lay out for them your cards on the table like a football team doesn't want to say we're going to bomb you in the air. we won't put cleats on the ground. don't worry. we're not going to run the ball. >> there's not been a lot of

ambiguity considering the president made it clear he doesn't plan to put american boots on the ground. >> he's also failed to articulate to the other nations in the coalition why we need to obliterate isis, right? he's meeting with the defense officials today. if on the defense officials, i'm saying why should we join you at all? you haven't arctticulated why y think there's strikes. if you want our help, you have to be in this to win this and we don't feel, president obama, that you are. i'm sure that's exactly how you're thinking. if you look at the number of air strikes, 450 coalition air strikes in the last 67 days is nothing. think of what we did in kosovo. over 10,000 in 78 days. if you're going to bomb, why not make it effective? that's what i would ask president obama. >> bottom line, doesn't seem to be as effective as they had planned, harris. there's a big discussion about what needs to happen next. >> you know what andrea touched on that's interesting is the building of coalition.

i don't think that national security adviser susan rice helped any bit. she went on another sunday show and we remember her missteps with regard to the investigation early, early on telling one series of narrative for benghazi, libya and the consulate being hit there and something else turning out to be true. she said we have to deal with turkey and you could have set an egg timer to say, huh-uh. we don't have a deal. we didn't have that. if there's a collision of talking points, that's one thing. but if there's a collision of strategies within this administration, that's actually really frightening. ambiguity for the enemy is great. ambiguity for the american people and your troops, not great. >> how about this? how about we bomb 450 times and it was so successful -- i know everybody is rolling their eyes -- we're taking a break to assess and then bomb soon or it wasn't effective? >> we've been taking a break. how much more of a break do you want? >> i know.

>> as we know, isis continues to gain ground, gain territory, strengthen in power. >> guys throwing their guns down, running away. they need us. it is war. i don't know why everybody is trying to prolong this. we're going to have to put boots on the ground. >> how about obama saying, look. with new information we're just not going to rule it out. that's all. how about that? >> because he doesn't know how to do that. >> he does. he's a smart man. >> he is a smart man. >> the one thing we trusted him to do was internationally organize, right? he's a community organize. organize internationally the international community but he spent so many months apologizing to the international community saying that al qaeda had been decimated, that they weren't a problem, drawing out troops in iraq which if the baghdad airport falls, we're in big trouble. give isis control of an airport? >> the largest american embassy is in baghdad. that's a true asset.

>> that's where they're headed. they're headed for -- >> it's very symbolic. >> the president meeting with defense chiefs from 20 nations a couple of hours from now. what do you expect out of that? >> i don't expect a lot. i would not raise expectations on this one. harris makes an incredible point. how dumb. what a moron susan rice to announce that the deal was done before it was done with turkey. i don't expect a lot of support again because the international community looks and they say, why would we have your back on this, president obama? you don't think this is a threat. it's more of their issue. they should get involved but asad doesn't like the kurds and he doesn't like isis so he's staying out of this. >> our president didn't appear to make this a priority until it was critical. >> our president is all talk and no action. dick's sporting goods c.e.o. is apologizing to a 12-year-old little girl saying he messed up by failing to include female athletes in its 2014 basketball

catalog. peterson's letter to the company drew lots of attention after her father tweeted it. in it she wrote, i think that girls should be treated as equally as boys are treated. it's hard enough for girls to break through in this sport as it is without you guys excluding us from your catalog. dick's c.e.o. said i can personally guarantee that next year's basketball catalog will prominently feature female athletes. as a dad and former coach, i understand first hand the importance of kids in sports. what do you think, harris? >> well, why did it take public outcry and pushing and all of that to get him to make a statement that he loves his children and everybody should be included? i don't doubt he loved his kids last thursday but now everybody knows how much because of this. because of a scandal. >> i'll come to his defense a bit. he's the head of the company. he may not have overseen the release of this catalog and knew that the only case in which they were using girls in the catalog

were as cheerleaders or helping roles for the teams in the stands. that's a big problematic but he's handled this quite well. he a pole goized. >> he's also a degreed to meet with the little girl and her family. >> maybe he didn't know but i wonder who is sitting around the table. >> can i rattle things around a little bit here? there's not any girls in there. okay? i went to dick's recently to purchase a new pair of cleats. you should do that every on years. i looked through the catalog as i was waiting there and i saw no asian kwaquandarkwand -- quadr. how far does it go? it's a business. >> i agree with mark. you look through the catalog and first thing you think is i'm offended because there's no girls in the catalog? >> maybe she just wanted to purchase something at dick's sporting goods and couldn't find it in the catalog.

>> people get so hyped up over the dumbest things. >> i'm glad you're on board with me on this. >> it's not a smart business decision. i would put women in there. outraged and then have to meet with the 12-year-old girl. where does this end? >> we're having a lot of conversations, though, about women in -- i would think that the companies would figure out, do you know what? there's money to be made if we market to them. there's money to be made. it's a capital thing. >> but an apology? >> maybe it was just one catalog. >> i know. it's so ridiculous. an apology? really? >> you're talking to a girl who -- >> i think dick's needs to carry like a line of women's clothing for hunting. >> they do have a pink gun. >> were you the girl who wrote the letter to the c.e.o.? you are. i know it. >> two requested a white done or at the sperm bank and there was a mixup in one of the vials.

bi racial. she's gorgeous, isn't she? look at her. now the two women are claiming they're having a hard time raising their little girl in their predominantly white community so they're suing for compensation. watch. >> i want her to feel like she has a place with the people she has a place with, white, black, asian, any -- whoever she feels comfortable around. this is a life you're creating. you have to take all the measures possible to make sure you get it right. >> obviously very emotional. i want to go to you first as an attorney. your thoughts on this case. we were talking earlier, you say they have a case. why? >> they do and at first i thought it was outrageous. the kid is going to be googling sometime and thinking their parents don't love them but the sperm bank screwed up. it them in y to make change is

the pocket. unfortunately, there has to be damages. now, how do you do that? you don't say a bi racial baby is not good. what they're saying is, because it's not like paid for a rolex at $8500 and i got a bolex. what they're saying is we have to come up with reasons. counselling. we have to move from our 98% all white town. >> but why? >> listen. their position is that the town is intolerant of the child and it's going to be too demanding for them. that's the argument. >> you give in to that intolerance? that ignorance? no. you stay there, educate them and yoefr -- overcome it. i'm bi racialment that's what i did. >> this is an emotional story. as parents we look at this and think all you need is love in your tool kit. what are your thoughts, sandra? >> i think the position that this family is in is one i cannot even come close to imagining. i'm sure it's very difficult. having a new baby is hard enough and then having an unexpected

turnout is hard. i'm with you. i think it's going to be very difficult down the road if this little girl sees about the litigation, the struggles she might have finding that out. i think that has to be made very clear. they're just concerned about where they're going to bring her up because of the environment she's in but harris, i think you maybe can understand this a lot more than any of us. >> my little danny looks like this little girl. as you just mentioned, you're bi racial. my little girls are bi racial. it isn't about that. it's about expectations, this case. it's about love as you were saying, mark. if you push this case, there's so much judgment around it. people will say, well, are you doing this because you can't love this baby? >> right. and you have to sympathize with this couple because they're already probably facing some discrimination because they are a gay couple. right? so it's amazing. they say this is an intolerant town. they probably dealt with more intolerance being a lesbian couple. now they have a bi racial child

and i have to agree with sandra. i cannot imagine if it were me, i would let it go. i could not imagine her googling and questioning whether or not my parents wanted me but i defer to the two of you on this one. how hard is it to grow up bi racial? >> it's not hard. it's no different. it's what you make of it. >> it's true. >> it's how you execute it, how you live your life, what you are. >> it comes down to parenting, too. just to spot on answer your question, it comes down to what you make as a priority in your home. so if what goes on in the world outside your door becomes more important than what goes on inside your door, in your home, then that's a real loss of opportunity in terms of loving a child. it isn't about what's happening out there in the community. it's about what is happening inside. >> i want to bring it back to the sperm bank. i saw an interview of one of the parents who said if they had just come to us, saying we're going to change our procedures. instead they ignored them.

in order to effectuate change, this is what we have to do. >> we have this little girl's picture on our air. she's going to know one day they did this. and part of this is also what is inside of you, what you stand for because if you stand up for yourself and you feel secure in yourself, then it doesn't matter what everyone else thinks. >> was there a way to do this more quietly, the litigation? >> i don't think so. picture a racist couple who receives this child. think about it for a second. and what that child would go through not just for society but in their own home. the sperm bank must change their policy. >> that's a good point. what you're bringing up is just the accountability for the sperm banks. >> you have to do something. >> extract the couple out of it.

take this family out of it. >> but mark, if you're going to sue, right, like they are and you know it's going to be in the public eye and you're asking for money so already you're going to get this reputation that you're doing this for the wrong reasons and maybe you don't love your daughter, even though they do, would you stay in that town or would you move somewhere that's more tolerant? because if you're going to stay in the town, then don't sue. >> right. first of all, you know, mama told me what people think of me is none of my business. okay? unfortunately, they're taking a position that these people in the town cannot love their child the way they do so it's time to go away and that is how they're going to get damages. the moving fees, the counselling. otherwise, you don't get any damages. there's no money. >> tough love. as it makes news, we'll update everybody. politicians gunning for votes. we'll take a look why guns are popular in political ads and how some experts say it can actually help their chances. and while many americans feel chores make kids more

responsible, most parents are not demanding that they do them. what is that all about? and why didn't my parents get the note? >> go clean your room, harris! >> all right. for all the distinctions

>> this topic hits close to home for me. remember as a kid having to wash the dishes, take out the trash and dust the furniture as part of your chores? well, times, they are changing. in a new study, 82% of american parents say that they did chores as a kid but today, just 28% ask the same of their own kids. guilty. despite this, 75% of respondents say they believe chores make children more responsible. so why aren't parents demanding more from the kids around the house? i'm going to start with you, mama. you have a 5-year-old and a 7-year-old. >> i do. i have a couple of thoughts on this. it could be a couple of options. it could be that parents are choosing their battles a little differently now. you have so much technology out there. do you want to fight the battle of clean your room or let me see

what's on your ipad. that's one thought. the other thought is we've gotten into the generation that i can only say with people i know, where we're so friendly with our kids. i see parents wanting to be friends with their kids and i have to tell you, i'm in a healthy way not that popular with my kids. i'm not looking for -- do you know what i'm saying? >> i do. >> i'm not looking for them to be harris' buddy. fortunately, i have you guys. >> parents knead to be disciplinarians. >> they have to be safe and disciplined as well. >> i'm very strict. my 24-year-old, all of his friends were afraid of me and yet we're still friends. >> did you make him do chores? >> i did. >> what about the 11-year-old? >> my 11-year-old i'm constantly having to tell her because we're very close. i make her do dishes. she cooks, cleans her room. she fights me but she ask -- does it. there are times i have to say i'm not your friend.

don't talk to me like that. i'm your mother. >> i'll walk into the rooms before i leave for the day. it look like we've been b burglarized, okay? i'm just lucky my 8-year-old flushes the toilet so my golden doodle will not eat what he leaves, healthfully. >> you're leading more children to the entitlement society. >> listen. we try to make them responsible in other ways. i cannot pick a battle f. they do their homework, take showers, brush their teeth, i'm good. >> your bar is really low. >> you do shower? i don't know. just since you asked, raise the bar. >> it's picking the battles. you mentioned this. somebody said picking the battles. >> i'm just saying. >> do you think it makes your kid better off? i hate helicopter kids. they spoil their kids rotten, shelter the children and then they get out in the real world. what am i so weak? because of parents like you.

>> how about kids demanding to be paid, right? what do you think about that? i won't do chores unless you pay me. >> you're picking the right fight. i'm the youngest of six children. there was no alowance in my house. i was told to do things and i did them. listen. i think kids have a responsibility. everybody lives under one roof. everybody has to clean up after themselves. i think there has to be a point where they're not told to do the chores. they're just expected. >> you're absolutely right about that. that's why i make my children do dishes, clean their room. i have people to do that but i make them do it. >> imagine if your parents owned not one restaurant but a bunch of restaurants. >> you worked hard. >> uh-huh. >> thank you, andrea. >> my chores were never done. >> did you get an alowance? >> no. i had to work in the restaurant. i got tips from the customers. >> she's organized today, ladies and gentlemen. >> thanks. >> he's one of the most famous and richest athletes in the world but does tiger woods have

know. maybe he's comfortable as he's getting older. he got rid of his beautiful fashionable gorgeous wife. and this is what happens. oh, my goodness. that's why he locks like a dufus. >> it is a pr coup for him. he went through women like chocolate on a conveyer belt. >> but now he plays as well as he dresses. that is an example of how far tiger wood stock has fallen since the crisis to whichan --an degreea. >> he could be getting types from obama. >> you have seen obama wear similar jeans. >> yes.
