shannon: the president makes his pitch this week for the budget and says this. >> my plan to reduce the deficit by 3 trillion over 10 years. based on what we know so far about their plan is going to ask bloated the deficit by more than $3 trillion of the next 10 years but they want to cut taxes for the wealthy large corporations, take away the power just give medicare negotiate lower drug prices. shannon: short medicaid and social security make the rich pay their fair share. what is a gop counter? >> the president's budget took my breath away. his numbers are extraordinary. we are going to run out of digits here. it is a $6.9 trillion budget, $4.7 trillion in new taxes that will affect everyone over 10 years. $18 trillion in new debt.

a cut to defense. the president says that his budget will solve our financial problems in medicare and social security. that is not true. anything seems possible when you don't know what you are talking about. the wall street journal just reported that the president budget will add $11 trillion in a financial shortfall to social security and medicare. the only way i know how to improve the presidents budget is with a shredder. shannon: we are waiting to see what were republicans want to offer in return other than just criticism but here's within your times as of the character is what they say is coming. they say hard right house republicans are writing a plan to gut the nation's foreign aid budget and make deep cuts to health care, assistance and housing programs for poor americans. again, with got to get to what the gop counter is and how you

dealt the optics of knowing how the republican plans are going to be pretrade by morse folks in the media? >> well, i'm going to try to do what is right for the american people. in the can do what it once. the house is on its track to put together a budget, shannon. the senate needs to be doing its work on the budget. senator schumer has prevented that. i am on the appropriations committee. we should be meeting or right now, as you know we split the budget up into 12 many budgets i am a ranking members on one of those subcommittees. we should be meeting right now, talking about how to reduce the rate of growth of spending and debt accumulation. but senator schumer will not allow us to meet. so, when you cannot sit down with your colleagues is kind of hard to put together something to talk to the american people about. but there is no question there is savings to be had in this

budget. note fair-minded american believes you cannot find efficiencies in a $6.9 trillion budget. shannon: you mention spending which is something hearing for republican speaker mccarthy out there saying we are bringing in all-time highs of revenues but we have to talk about cuts in spending. but an analysis is this republicans are not exactly clean hands on that issue. republicans bear at least equal blame as a democrats for the biggest drivers of federal debt growth that passed congress over the past two administrations. so, how do you convince your party to stop spending in the same white republicans criticize democrats are doing? >> that criticism you just read is correct. there have been any number of bills passed with republican support in the senate that added to spending. i did not vote for them. i will give you one example we just passed a $40 billion

subsidy for big tech it's called the chips bill. the idea is to bring semiconductor manufacturing back to america. right now we have a 10% market share. we just spent $40 billion in a giveaway to big tech do and how much is going to increase our market share? 1% of our infrastructure bill which is not really an infrastructure bill. i did not vote for because i'm not going to buy a car to get the cupholders. if you want to stop savings we just stop sending debt checks to dead people we spent a billion or to send checks to dead pe people. the checks are being cashed, its obsolete fraud. the president's plan to have the american people pay for student debt cost $400 billion over 10 years. we already have a plan to repay student debt is called a job.

we ought to get rid of that. we ought to talk about how to reduce the federal workforce through attrition. we ought to talk about why in the medicare program we are paying more for the same surgical treatment in a hospital as opposed to an outpatient clinic. there are lots of things we can do to reduce spending in this budget. but on the senate side we have to have senator schumer's position to do that and he is not going to give it. nor is president biden. >> the white house is say their folding in that will be aimed at fraud and going after things you mention were waiting to see what the supreme court says about the executive decision on forgiving student loans. we will standby on those. meanwhile entitlements are getting a lot. republicans have repeatedly said they're not going to cut them the white house has repeatedly said you need to be afraid if you were going to get this benefits.

here's what gop presidential candidate nikki haley said this week. >> we have to be realistic. it is unrealistic to say you're not going to touch entitlements. shannon: they say democrats are actually making proposals about these entitlements. but they say this, if republicans continue to stubbornly insist social security and medicare should not be touched, the inevitable result will be not only the democrats when the political debate but that all such reforms will mostly mean higher taxes. so it wasn't, trustees of this program sells 10 -- 15 years they will be insolvent. nikki haley is out there saying you gotta talk about it but republicans are chastised every time you do should you be having a public conversation about the sinks? >> well, i think you ought to get the social security that you pay for. and i think you ought to get the medicare you pay for. now, medicare is going to start getting in trouble financially in 2028. social security and 2035 i th

think. we should be talking now how to make sure those programs or solvent. the problem is that president biden and his state and the union address decided to demagogue the issue. we all saw it. he basically said if you talk, speaking to republicans, if you talk about social security, or medicare i am going to call you a mean bad person. that just took the issue off the table when the president decided to demagogue it. you can only be young once but you can always be immaterial at that is a very immature thing to do. >> you think they need to be conversations about something whether it's changing the age for not yet paying into these benefits, future changes, current changes? >> of course we got to talk about it. the life expectancy of the average american right now is about 77 years old.

for people who are in their 20s, their life expectancy will probably 85 -- 98. doesn't really make sense to allow someone in their 20s today to retire at 62? those are the kind of things we should talk about. there are changes in medicare we should talk about. let me say it again medicare pays a much more for the same surgical procedure in a hospital as it does in a private outpatient clinic. why? there are a lot of things we could talk about. but president biden is taking that issue totally off the table. he says he has fixed it in his budget, that is nonsense, that is nonsense on a stick. >> it looks like that is going to be done through increased taxes which are not their thumbs down on that. >> it still leaves a short ball.

it leaves $11 trillion shor shortfall. so when the president says i fixed the problem, with all due respect is not telling the tr truth. >> is definitely a debt component to what is proposing up and that's pretty hefty. want to ask about the border. there's talk of taking cartels, designating them as terrorist organizations for this also talk whether or not get the u.s. military involved. former agent ag bar has an interesting piece he talks about our countries under threat we should have operations including within mexico, where you stand on that? >> think attorney general barr is correct. look, they cartels we know who they are. they are killing americans on both sides of the border. the fact is the american military could partner with the mexican military and the mexican police and we could wipe out the cartels. but president lopez and mexico

refuses to do that. when senator graham and i talked about the issue this year or this week rather, president biden said it was a bad idea. the truth is that president biden believes in open borders. the cartels do not seem to bother him. and president lopez can answer for himself. but i do not understand why he would turn down american help to get rid of cartels that are killing his people and our people. >> very quickly look to be clear if the u.s. was not in a partnership with some time does the u.s. military have any role within mexico short of that cooperation? >> know we cannot go into mexico without mexico's permission. >> just want to be clear pretender candy great to see a thank you so much. >> thank you shannon. >> the sequelae of the manhattan das offer for president trump the opportunity to testify before a grand jury pay part of an investigation into payments

silent tyler any hearing about the was withdrawal from afghanistan. let's bring in or send a group to discuss. hosted the side line saturday podcast michele tafoya. former state department spokesperson a fox news contributor marie harf. present of that heritage foundation kevin roberts reuters white house correspondent jeff mason. you guys get extra credit for coming in on time changes sunday per there's a lot of hearings this week. i want to go back to this afghanistan 44 surgeries lost a leg, arm, kidney pre-talks about how he was set up to patrol and watches airport area. he had a warning and was asking for the ability to engage with this person they believed to be the suicide bomber he said plain and simple we were ignore there's a lot of people's self questions about what we can figure out with what happened in afghanistan. >> getting answers that questions would be really critical part as a reporter at listening to testimony wants me want to ask who made that order who were the people in his

command to make that order. i think on a more macrolevel, the fact these hearings are happening, politically it means is going to get some more focus. and it is going to be of vulnerability for president biden. i don't think there's anything that came out at that hearing that would suggest president biden was giving orders like that. that is much, much lower down on the food chain. the broader piece, the broader theme of exit from afghanistan is something that has to some extent not gotten a lot of attention over the last year or so. because republicans were in charge of the house right now that's one of the things they are increasing oversight on. that is going to have an impact. shannon: the other thing is the twitter files there is a hearing this week about really pressing people about the sourcing on this. they help with this this way. professor jonathan turley says is evidence amounts of broader censorship by the biden ministration a democrat attacks have become more unhinged and scrupulous after shredding any frailty to free speech they are now attacking journalist and

manic their sources and claiming the reporting as a public th threat. >> they called them so-called journalists which i thought was such a slap in the face to both of them. by the way that term so-called permeated another hearing as well. cory busch of missouri and the house subcommittee oversight committee on energy called one of their experts a so-called philosopher and white supremacists. this term of so-called seems to be making so-called hearings. i'm just not sure this is the proper way. it's really offended as a journalist the experience the amount of experience between these two gentlemen being questioned and trying to force their hand in terms of thinking london mosque was their only source, i love the weight jonathan turley put it. it sounded like a divorce hearing. you slept with her and you didn't tell me this. it was just awful per there's no discretion there is no respect. they do not know who barry weiss was in that panel. and that is like where's katy

couric when you need her to say who do you read what you read to not allow these players i thought was shameful. spate and marie professor talks about the contacts of democrats and the liberals and traditional sense have always been about free speech and exposing corruption but why so hard on these folks? the optics of that did not appear good for them on that hearing too. >> a lot with a elon musk is not committed to free speech. he's banning people from twitter, taken them off twitter when they criticize him personally. democrats will say it's not about free speech ralph it was after all the twitter files for every journalist to look at and not cherry pick which ones they give to their journalist that working on this. but the broader context is this weaponization, the house republican lead hearings on these issues are sort of red meat for the base. they are doing a lot of that they promised to investigate and they took over congress. what i suspect is a lot of american voters want them to be focusing on other issues that impact their daily lives every

day. i am not sure this is a winning message and privately some republicans will say, they would sing its report is this weaponization committee, all of these issues do not have any substance but did not have what jim jordan and others promise there really a distraction. republicans are saying that. democrats ought to set republicans are doing it for them. shannon: kevin can they do both? would they do substantive but the more theatrical hearings? >> i would push back worse directly on theatrical prayer they're very substantive. the reason is if he spent some time outside the beltway with everyday american conservatives, they do not think this is theater but they think this is real. if you are a republican member of congress, shannon, there's a 90 -- 100 ratio that you are going to be censored in your own political campaign e-mails versus if you are a liberal part so for the everyday american they believe the collusion between big attack and big government is something that is to stop it obviously that cannot be the only thing republican majority is focused on. but i can assure you we

inherited so attuned to the everyday grassroots conservative are really proud of how this started and if anything the pacing is a pickup. shannon: the patient to be pickup in europe with the attorney general there or the district attorney inviting far president trump to come and talk about what they are investigating, payments were made back in 2016. here's what the president said before her president a few days ago when he is asked about whether he would drop out if indicted but he said i will not even think about leaving, probably it will enhance my numbers, kevin will start with you. [laughter] >> 2024 is fascinating to me. an officer there's a lot of coverage as it should be on the candidates. but as a movement conservative i think it's a tremendous opportunity for the conservative movement and ultimately the american people to have a reckoning about a lot of issues that remain outstanding pride what is going to be the relationship between the state and the individual? what is going to be a more restrained foreign policy for the united states? this is ultimately where it will boil down, shannon. it is whoever is the most

conservative who is not only willing to fight but it's going to articulate a positive aspirational vision for the future is going to be the nominee. whoever he or she is. shannon: maria look you want to jump it on that precooked that's fascinating that reckoning comes from a primary and a contested private with a lot of voices in a lot of different ideas, not just donald trump stream rolling to this process. privately a lot of republicans will tell you they are tired of trump they are ready for a change. the question is do they have a plan to get another candidate who is maybe more of a conservative more in touch with what the republican party needs to be going forward. will he say hope is not a strategy. a lot of republicans have a lot of hope right now there's a post trump future but not a plan to get there yet. shannon: he continues to dominate the polling in iowa and beyond that he's a front runner for this a lot not in yet some are perspectives show up in the point-to-point register had to numbers out this week. they say the percentage of

viable republicans who say they will definitely vote for him, meaning president trump, if you were the nominee in 2024 is plummeted more than 20 percentage points since june of 2021. so it still in the lead but you can see some attrition in his numbers. what you see attrition and ron desantis is not declared yet. in that same pole he compared very favorably in favorability numbers. where if desantis has an opening as 20% of those people have not really made up their minds. they have made up their mind one way or the other about trump. i think 18% of the people in that poll in iowa found him unfavorable. i do not think this primary is helped by a bunch of people coming into take on trump. that's what i'm hearing for my people in iowa who i spoke to over the last week. they said there's a lot of people that favors trump it right now everyone is taking their time. they say it's really slow here in iowa. or might we have a had a bunch of tennis come through we have not seen it yet but it is because the cyclops eye of trump they do not do quite get in the crosshairs until they know how

this is going to shake out and made the best one or two people lined up running against him in the primary. shannon: was filed in time in iowa i love it people there so engaged there so into this. but they expect you to shop at their town halls, at their dryness, in their living rooms. they want to meet three or four times come shake your head in question to be for the ever vote for you. president trump heads back there tomorrow how important you think this visit is for him? >> i think it's big priest got a lot of baggage and a lot of things he has to get over and he has to find whether or not the people in iowa and around the country going to overlook that again. i think he's not wrong when he says the things many perhaps normal politicians or people would think, that's going to really hurt him. they usually don't hurt president trump. in fact they often do help him. he is not wrong. and yet there are other candidates and you have people like his former vice president really coming out and saying things that are much more critical of him. we'll see if that ends up having

an impact. >> there is fatigue. >> vice president pence he felt the floor present and dangerous him he articulate that. he is not announced at pfizer will see if he does. thank you panel very much. right now finland and sweden actively campaign to join nato. there are some countries convince for a set of the president finland to discuss the game changing moment he said led to his nato push i asked about finland's complex relationship with russia, that interview is next. a little later fox news and benjamin hall who survived a terrifying attack while covering the war in ukraine he's sharing is truly miraculous story of survival and recovery. we will be right back. communityd people ready to support you when you need it most? christian health care ministries is an organization

conditions on the ground, hello steve. >> shannon the russian invasion his hat affects barbie on the war zone. >> one day before initial prime minister and ukraine president zelenskyy russia launched 81 missiles in the ukraine. knockout heat and electricity for hundreds of thousands. on the ground, seven months of artillery shelling has turned into a killing zone. >> it is important for us. if it was not important, we would not be fighting for. this is our land. >> fearing they could be next finland and sweden applied to join nato. nato's goal is to admit both countries before the next summit in lithuania and july. president putin's war against ukraine grinds on. he is not preparing for peace. he is preparing for war. >> afar only turkey and hungary have yet to approve.

the most serious objection is turkey's claim that sweden allows kurdish groups it calls terrorist to operate inside sweden. in case of a delay was sweden, finland may prepare to enter the alliance alone. giving up a neutrality it has held since 1948. >> russian invasion has changed a lot of minds in europe about neutrality, shannon back to your project it sure has steve harrigan thank you very much reporting live from kyiv it here now my conversation with the present finland just hours after he met with president biden at the white house. >> mr. president thank you for your time for i know you have been very busy including a visit to the white house for a new cell president biden. did you all discuss your entry or attempted entry into nato? how what capitol he may be politically able to expand on help you get there? >> surely we discussed about the

current situation at nato application it's interesting is the situation we are living in times of the moment. i found it very, very important and good to have a possibility of discussing with him. >> i know there has been an additional meeting with turkey, sweden and finland brokered by nato moving forward. it sounds like turkey is not quite there yet. but there has been progress? >> some progress yes. actually the meeting and rustles took place today. and the next moves but i just want to tell you i am very optimistic. >> out turkey has said this. bake claim both you and sweden are harboring militants from the band workers party a designated that's part of their delay. do you feel that's what this is really about or something else?

>> european union has declared as a terrorist organization. that is how we deal with that. and i guess sweden two. so, in our thinking we have met all which has been agreed with last summer in madrid. they have a different opinion so let's go to new discussions progress is also discussions involving hungary. it seems to be signaling that favors allowing sweden to proceed for it maybe not for them but there are ongoing conversations thereto. in a sense of how hungry is? >> just had a discussion about that with the prime minister. it was clear of his message saying we will not be the last one. so, let's take it.

they did a parliamentary and during those i think it became very clear that in its self there's nothing against swedish and membership but they just want to remind they have not been very happy with the discussion which has been ongoing both in sweden and finland. in dealing with hungary that may be more domestic policy. >> are you confident both turkey and hungary will eventually come around to supporting your application? looks like a set of very optimistic. we will have full voice amongst our partners. >> is it ironic to you that vladimir putin, 1f's justifications for going into ukraine he did on the expansion of nato. and now there may be two new

members to that body. >> yes. i think president putin has had and still has some sort of obsession dealing with the ukraine. during the years in his spe speeches. that is a big mistake. he says they will demand nato not to enlarge anymore. any change in our minds. because so far we have always got it and others to form our own we are militarily unde underlined. after putin's speech should have

said yes we should join. shannon: how would it change that regent for you to become a member of nato at this point? >> we have to keep in mind we are and have been for 10 years enhance nato partner. that hasn't meant we are always with nato military exercises. and we have very good ability with nato. so they used to say, or so in russia that finland and sweden actually more nato member than many existing members.

shannon: 's share a lengthy border and history with russia but he said recently this. you said we are not afraid but we are well awake. >> yes because how would you describe your relationship with mr. putin with russia broadly? text it goes back centuries. we have learned despite the fact everything like that. it is part of that. we got prepared all of the time. i would say the military forces are proportionally at least one if not the strongest in europe. just an example if we still have and if we call our reserves we

have approximately women and men in arms which is more than 14 or 15 times bigger than germany h has. so we have always taken it very seriously. shannon: you sent a lot of 8-inch ukraine there's talk of ascending tanks, other armaments or materials. how do you assess what you are able to send into that conflict? work so far we have sent armament with approximately 700 million year old. if you counted per capita it's more than you in the u.s., more than the uk, more than germany. so we are strongly involved. we have not told so much exactly what kind of armaments because well, our military people think it's best not to tell what we

have and we possibly do not have any more after having it. but it is quite heavy armament. shannon: would you make of china and its role? we have ongoing conversations here in the u.s. whether they are going to provide legal aid to russia. if they do, what should be the response and what you make of their role? let's take rather the situation as it is now. and surely if russia and china get closer and closer to each other that is a problem. i have said many times that china should understand if european people and people here get an impression they are supporting russia that would ruin their reputation. and it's may be good to remind

that in the free world what people think they have really say. and if they have a say and they say that reflects politics. at the same time china was to trade with europe, trade with usa what about if they first spoil their reputation and there's not much trading left. this is undoubtedly the chinese have the account to pay. >> a watch that closely as well. mr. president thank you for time today. >> up next the remarkable recovery of our fox news colleagues seriously wounded in ukraine one year ago. then hall sat down with me this week to talk about how he made it out what drove him to hang on in the very darkest moments. >> i do not member the horror that happened to me. do not remember the evil pretty

shannon: estate correspondent benjamin hall was gravely injured covering the war in ukraine last year. and now he is sharing his story brings a better war reporters covered countries like sierra and afghanistan from the front lines. when russia invaded ukraine he was ready to go. but just weeks in hall was severely hurt when he and his team were hit by a russian strike. two fellow fox team members were killed, 24 gold sasha, veteran cameraman pierre.

i sat down with benjamin and also his recovery our viewers are anxious to how you are and your store this brand-new book you have saved trade don't read without big kleenex with so many ups and downs and miracles for this book. what motivated you about why he always wanted to go to the front lines and youth at the store is important to tell. >> yes, even after what's happened to me role we do the job that is conceptual. i encouraged bill to tell the same story progressed sizes to be living down these tunnels are. >> i start off covering complex bows fascinated and i wanted to see the extremes of human experience. and to understand the world. if you start to cover more conflict you see the stories and tragedies in front of david the

more you see those the more you want to share the stories. we have seen involvements around the world for u.s. troops the last 20 years. and so i wanted to understand how geopolitics played a role in domestic politics as well. for me it was a job i love doing and is very serious as very lucky to have it. shannon: you are where the risks pretty talk about that there's so many fastening stories read like a spy novel of speaking into countries, on boats and all kinds. >> myself i start in being in real danger went march 14 happen in ukraine. >> yes i spent many years before i was at fox as a freelancer for the fact of any journalism viewing just the right story the best or you have to be at the front pretty happy speaking to the people, right in the middle of that story. but in the wars on the only way to get there is to get on small boats, illegally cross borders, rated through waivers, sleep in caves and that's what we do for number of years. and i think it's the only way to tell the stories. shannon: the heart of the book as i was explaining exactly what happened march 14 when we lost

pierre and sasha. you were literally in a life-and-death struggle for a long time after that. our colleague jan griffin immediately jumped into action of the depth of knowledge and expression according to save our allies. there's a guy named sea spray in the book is a heroic character. there were so many incredible hurdles and things that had to happen exactly right. doctors, volunteers, people to get you to safety. i know you've just surviving at the time but looking back doesn't feel like one miracle after another? >> it was and they were miracles as well. at the time i was thinking stay alive, fight however you have to just get through this and try to get home. i later learned was going on behind the scenes, jan griffin saved our allies, these people began to work immediately within seconds. there were times some decisions had made a minutes i would not of got on the right train it would not up on the hospital, would not have survived. looking into that, learning about that was one of the other

reasons i wanted to write the book but i was amazed all these heroes that came in for me, risk their own lives to come in and save me. and for many of them these are former military. they said as an american stuck in ukraine, we will do whatever it takes to go and get him home, get back to his family. that is what they did. they don't want recognition they do that because they believed her in the right thing. that is what they did for me and they should get recognition, everyone should reach out and support them and save our allies as a group that continues to work well into today to say people around the world. shannon: there so many heroes through every page of this book. i found it fascinating it was all a simple circle situation for you because of your father's story about being rescued by american gis for. >> yes it is amazing that 77 years and at the end of the second world war my father's 12 years old he was in the philippines in manila. for four years he lived under japanese occupation the bombed out streets of manila. most of his family had been killed by the japanese. the u.s. army led by john mccarthy came back in he was told if you want to survive you

have defined the american lines. and they, these little kids fought their way to the streets to get there. and finally saw the american lines. the buckeye division it was the national guard at the end they finally managed to get there. one kit shot alongside it as it happened was lifted into the arms of an american g.i. he was saved and came to america himself he served in korea in the u.s. army. and here i am all these years leaders across the world being saved by american heroes. and u.s. military was there for me too want to cross into poland there is a blackhawk waited 82nd airborne was there for that moment is lifted up into the sky i came from a family who has been rescued again and again by americans abroad. i was so proud in order to be part of it. shannon: one of most beautiful things in the book do you have images that go along with so many of these stories including that rescue of your father all those years ago. in your rescue this amazing story we know how the story ends and you got out safely. what you are on the edge of your

seat on the edge of this count exactly got to each checkpoint each impossible hurdle in every thing that happened but i know at one point you want yourself when you want to try to call your wife. the center of this book is very much a beautiful love story two and she is one of your heroes as well. >> she is. i mean, i get emotional really only want to think of her. people talk about how i got to this how brave i have been, courageous. but it wasn't me, i do not do this myself. did this because of incredible family and the heroes who talk about. but my wife is been there from the very beginning purchase cap my family strong, she's help make those decisions. she said no matter what we are going to be will get through it together. you talk about marriage it's in sickness or in health. we have been put to the test we really have and we have come out stronger. we are together every single day. i look at her every single moment i think what a lucky man that i made it home to her. that is how i got through this. the minute i was injured and the attack happened and i was lying on the floor with my leg missing, bleeding everywhere, i thought i am going home no

matter what. i'm going to see my wife and children if i have to crawl i'm going to get home. that's what i thought every step of the way white through recovery right up to the train ride out, write with the payments i'm going home. if you hold onto that one idea and you want to get there i believe in get through anything peripherally that skin back to my family. >> help you talk to the girls? they are so young about what happened and what your life is like now. >> it is difficult. it's one of things i was most afraid i was trying to introduce them to the realities of what had happened to me and showing it to them. we also believe in being totally honest with them for it took us a while to tell them i'd lost my leg and my foot. i was amazingly finally told him that had a robot like they thought it was the most exciting thing they have ever heard. so i was relaxed then. they've seen my injuries up close since then and my eldest still talks about bombs and the damage and what could've happened to me from her talking to them closely but these are discussions i would not have had with them at this age but they are discussions we have had to have it. we go through it together we tried to be as open as possible.

a key thing is we are together. and we can get to anything together. shannon: i know they been an enormous support for you in so many different ways. speaking of that you talk about pierre. you had all been on assignments all over the place. he had worked together for years. you say in the book how he was able to find good and the situations. you were in some of the most devastated places in the world. and yet he was able to have that attitude about it. for him, for sasha, what is it mean to you to survive to continue on to share their story, their legacy? >> it pierre is the most exceptional people ever met. and everyone who knew him and say the same thing that kind is the hardest working most intelligent person pretty taught me so much about the work i do. and he died saving my life as well, i know that. until every single day i think of pierre and sasha. i think if we can do our best in our own lives now we cannot make every day better their lives are going to waste as well. and look, i would change

everything to have them back. to bring them back somehow. we must always number those who left behind, those who did not come home with us. with a. and sasha those of brothers bill never got back but we can honor them. we can honor their memory. we can go out they way they would've wanted us to go out do more good, do more better things. that is how have to think of it every single day. i think of them i think about him i think go out today, work harder in his name. shannon: and apart at his been conversations you now have with people all over the world who reach out to you with their own pain. we are all going to deal something in some kind of struggle. you are able to be a comfort to them through your own story. but that's a real honor to me but i never in life i would be someone who would encourage others or help people get through difficult moments. but since this has happened, hundreds maybe thousands of people have reached out to me. first wishing me well but number recently also sharing their own difficult stories with me. accidents they have had our deaths in the family. or other injuries.

and i've realized if i can speak to them and just tell them how i got through it, encourage them to get through it. if you can talk together about these things you can really help. it is something i'm most proud of at the moment something want to continue doing. we can get through difficult things together by speaking to other people, telling people how hard it can be but how you get through it and modern people reach out to be if i can help in any small way, whoever it is i want to do it and want to do it for the rest of my life. >> how much has faith played a role in this journey for you? >> a lot, a lot. i was raised catholic i was school at monastery every single day i thought about what that meant to me. along the way covering wars i sometimes had moments where i doubted it. you see horrific things you'd always ask yourself what role does god play in a society or this war happens? but i come out of this of my own injuries i don't are the horror that happened to make do not member the evil. to see a lot of good.

see the incredible people who came together to get me, to build it back together, to help me. i think that is a sign of god, the pureness of it. it is out there. if we fight hard for that. if we fight hard for the great and the good it will win. my daughter came to me and i saw her when i was in the car and i was blacked out and she encouraged me too crawl out of the car to save my life. yes that was my daughter's getting home to my family. that was also an angel that came to me there. had i been standing in injured in any direction on the third bomb hit i would be dead, blind, have serious brain injury. and somehow i walked out of that alive with my mind back and doing well. and i know i was saved that day. the book is called saved because i was saved by so many people. and by the heavens two. shannon: wow, we are eternally grateful for that and for you sharing your story too, thank you. >> thank you very much, thanks. shannon: arm under his book, saved, it will report his
