1:00 pm
>> tease a dominant member. megyn: hello, dominant male! a former cheerleader comes face to face with dangerous life in the wild. how? why? she'll tell us live on "america live" right now. >> so i started like hearing the roar, so i went outside with the customer, you couldn't even walk outside, it was like everything was moving, the rails were bending to the sides, cars were moving. megyn: that was new reaction from california, fresh aftershocks are rocking communities on the west coast. nearly 18 hours after a deadly 7.2 quake hit near the u.s.-mexico border. now we are learning the ground might not stop shaking for days. look at this video out of arizona. store surveillance video showing the intensity of the earthquake felt by at least
1:01 pm
20 million people. the quake's epicenter was south of the border, but could be felt as far away as los angeles and phoenix, arizona where folks in high rises say they felt their building swaying. california native trace gallagher knows a thing or two about thighs quakes. he's live in the newsroom. tell us about the aftershocks we're hearing about. >> reporter: i called family and friends in california and they are still shaking, with hundreds of aftershocks, some as strong as 5.5, that is a very good jolt. in the days to come they'll get thousands more of these things. everybody i talked to say this was more of that rolling type of earthquake we talk about, versus that jolt. there's a couple of kinds. you get that jolt. this one killed of rolled. you see the pool water, it rolled on, some would say, for 45-55 seconds. that is an extra oldnarily long earthquake. here's what nobody is talking about, megyn. i want to put up these pictures back from 1994, the north ridge earthquake, the north ridge earthquake before hurricane katrina
1:02 pm
was, as i'm saying, was the strongest, the costliest natural disaster in u.s. history. that was a 6.7 earthquake. this quake yesterday was ten times that strong. had that quake moved up a little bit and hit san diego or los angeles, it could have been catastrophic. here's the usgs trying to explain why the quake was felt by so many people in such a wide area. listen. >> if you happen to be in the direction where the fault rupture is going, you can get amp amplification in the ground shaking and it could well have been a factor that we felt it as strongly as we did here. trace: in other words like the rip e8 effect, the water goes this way and that's where the father is felt. we talked about santa barbara to the north, phoenix, santa barbara is 300 miles from the avenue i center, phoenix is 500 miles from santa barbara. it gives you an idea of how wide this was.
1:03 pm
after the quake, we had an 4. o quake north of san francisco that seismologists say are not connected at all. megyn: if this thing was ten times the strength of the other one, north ridge that we all remember, why wasn't it worse? because the epicenter was south of the border? >> it was shallow, about 6 miles deep which is a relatively shallow quake. if you take a blanket and do that, that's what happens to the ground, and this was about let's say 38 miles south of calexico, on the mexican border along california, so you're 38 miles away. it gives the ground a good bit of time to kind of distribute all those shock waves, the p waves if you were, which is the primary jolt and the s waves which kind of look like an s, which is the blanket we talked about. it gives it time to distribute, but if you're there at the epicenter, suddenly the waves have no place, that's where all the damage is. let's face it an earthquake is nothing more than stress building up and the ground
1:04 pm
bends. that's what causes an earthquake. and the question remains, if this was 7.2 yesterday, does that take a lot of pressure the fawft lines in california, the fault lines, the granddaddy of them all is the san andreas fault line which runs 800 miles that southern california to los angeles, the question now, does this take pressure off that, or does it simply show that there is pressure beneath the earth building. megyn: what's the answer? >> the answer is they don't know. i will tell you all seismologists will tell me a quake is not a good thing. if there's a quake 38 miles away it means there's pressure beneath your feet and it's only a matter of time before that pressure as well bends and then breakings the earth. megyn: can i ask you a question, trace, as an east coast gal who's never experienced an earthquake, when that happens, you're out there and you feel the earth start rumbling, what is it like? >> it really is, it's almost like at first when you feel
1:05 pm
some vibrations, you can feel it kind of vibrate, then sometimes it's a quick jolt, and other times it feels like you're almost in quick sand, and that's what happens is you get some parts of the -- parts of the ground, there's a lick wifing where it's not read work, some of the ground will actually shake enough that it becomes li wid and you can feel the earth do that, almost like you're sloshing in a pool or bathtub. >> would you go into the doorway, isn't that where they say you go? >> there's a lot of different theories. the best place is outside. i wouldn't go -- you are better off outside than inside. if you have be -- to be inside, better a doorway, but you should be outside. megyn: unbelievable. it's be a -- it's been a dramatic few months for february. in late february chile was hit by an 8.8 mag nidtude quake, more than 500 people died and 200,000 homes were damaged, chile's president estimates the financial toll, $30 billion.
1:06 pm
ten days into the new year, of course, haiti leveled by a 7.0 magnitude quake, that country's government estimates over 220,000 people died. can you believe that? i mean, that is the death toll they're now hutting -- putting on haiti, 220,000 people. also saying that 1.3 million were left homeless. damage estimates there run between five and $13 billion. almost a year ago to the day, a small italian village was hit by a 6.3 magnitude quake that killed 287 people. forty thousand others in italy were left homeless, as a result, the cost of repairs from that natural disaster estimated at $16 billion. wow. well, in the east, we are less than an hour away from a hotly anticipated event in georgia. have you heard? tiger woods, set to take questions from a group of reporters for the very first time since his bizarre car crash last november. that incident, of course, eventually leading to news
1:07 pm
of his multiple, multiple affairs. tiger made a very public statement about the affairs not long ago, but he did not take questions, you'll recall, it was him speaking into a microphone and then walking out. this is the first time he stands in front of a group of reporters and let's them have at t the event comes as tiger prepares to reenter the world of golf at the master's tournament this week. phil keating is live in georgia. after the infidelity revelation, finally he comes out and is getting ready to take questions from the reporters. meantime there's been a crowd gathering, phil keating. what is their reception to tiger woods? >> or fa, tiger washington has been treated with very polite and respectful reception by what are truly some of the game of golf's most adherents. this is the master's and if you follow golf and love the game this, is the creme de
1:08 pm
la creme and tiger is described by most golfers on the tour as perhaps the best player to play the game of golf in history, so after this long 4 1/2 month absence, there is huge anticipation right now about this 2:00 news conference. he did recently grant two, 5-minute interviews, so those were very limited. the rules on today's news conference, we are told, no time limits, and any question is allowed. i just talked to a couple of restaurants down the road here, and they are starting to pack up, full of people, to not only have lunch, but also to watch this live broadcast on the tv inside the restaurant. tiger did shoot a practice round with 1992 master's champion fred couples, tiger teed off at 8:05, surrounded by about 500 people in stoney silence, however, throughout the walking of the 4-hour practice round, reporters inside say that tiger woods was actually very much talkative with the
1:09 pm
crowd, talkative and polite and exchanging well wishes back and forth, and a lot of people rooting him on. no hecklers whatsoever. well complaining him back. megyn: i hear he's quite a people person. is his wife there? >> no idea. she has not been seen, that's for sure. she was seen last friday down in miami at the sony ericsson tennis suite benefit key biscayne, she was actually photographed and commentators on the broadcast actually referenced her in the crowd. whether she and the kids come up here, we don't yet know that. but right here, this entrance right here this, is the players' entrance, as well as members of the augusta national golf club and also officials with the tournament, so that's the iconic shot right there, that tunnel of magnolia trees, and, of course, everything gets underway thursday as far as the tournament goes, but everyone looking forward to this 2:00 news conference. megyn: phil keating, thank
1:10 pm
you very much. folks, this is so interesting, because as phil pointed out, he gave two, 5-minute interview to two reporters, those are the ruse, you got five minutes, he wouldn't sit down, they had to be standing, over the shoulder, quick back and forth, this was it. this is a different setting, this is what reporters want to have happened during a big news con he event -- veant, a press conference where you get to ask the hashed questions and hopefully get meaningful answers and errorsedly tiger won't be able to put this behind him until he does that,'s oppose -- as opposed to handling the media in the choreographedd settings. anyway, phil keithing is down there and we'll take you there as soon as tiger gets started, 2:00 p.m. big questions about what happened with a jetblue flight bound for florida. it took off from new yark, new jersey -- newark, new jersey this morning but did not make it far. you'll hear more on that. life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, three things not mentioned in the
1:11 pm
united states constitution, but don't tell that to illinois democrat phil baer, he'll tell you how he's touched off a new debate on that.
1:12 pm
1:13 pm
1:14 pm
megyn: well, investigators are now looking into the jetblue flight that had to return to newark this morning after an engine started dropping parts. according to a newark spokeswoman the flight was bound for fort lauderdale when the metal casing came off of one of the engines. emergency vehicles were waiting for the plane when it landed. no reports of injuries. a runway was closed while airport workers cleaned off debris. meantime, an illinois democrat, caught on camera saying he's not worried about the constitution when it comes to this health care law. congressman phil haer now responding off the too
1:15 pm
candid camera mom was viewed more than a quarter million times on youtube. a clip in which he also confuses the constitution with the declaration of independence. congressman haer, at a town hall meeting in his home state. roll it. >> it's peoples' lives, it's peoples of children, it's when you take your child to the hospital and you think it's really bad and your heart is thumping and thumping while you're waiting for the doctor to tell you what it is, and then he comes out and says it's going to be okay, you don't have insurance, and you have a $15,000 bill and your heart starts thumping and you don't know what you're going to do. i talked to a woman who filed for bankruptcy, couldn't afford an economy. >> we're talking about the economy. >> look, we've got to -- >> where in the constitution are we -- i don't worry about the constitution, to be honest. >> that's my -- >> jackpot, brother. >> people care hoo i care more about the people dying
1:16 pm
every day that don't have health insurance. >> you care more about it than the constitution? >> i believe it says we have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. >> that's the declaration of independence. >> doesn't matter to me. either one. it clearly doesn't matter to you. it's so clear this doesn't matter to you. it's unbelievably clear. >> you wouldn't know what matters to me. >> it'sun believably clear the constitution doesn't matter to you. >> you're going to ask me -- ask me -- what's the question again? >> where in the constitution does it give you the authority to say -- >> i don't know. i don't know. >> that's what i thought. >> okay. but at the end of the day, i want to bring insurance to every person that lives in this country. >> this bill is not going to do that. >> says who, you? >> says everybody. >> are you the expert? >> says everybody. >> new york city i'm not. i'm -- huh? you read the bill three times. >> i did. it will bring insurance to 30 million people that don't have insurance. >> you read the bill three times. >> yes, i did, that's 8100
1:17 pm
pages, a minute per page to read that and coverhend it, when it's over -- do know -- do you know what i do for a living, do you know how many hours a day i spend working in my house? are you calling me a liar? >> this is a disgrace. >> you're stomping all over the constitution. >> what is the question? >> i answered it. you told me i was a liar. >> how long did it take you to read the bill three times? how long did it take you to read the bill three times? how long? how many days? megyn: allen combs is host of the allan combs show and joins me now. >> he represents everybody on the left? >> last week, you said you want him himself? >> i wonder if the right wing will make him the new leftist spokesman. he's a democrat. >> do you defend that? >> of course not. >> is there anything defensible about it? >> no. >> even you believe that? >> what do you mean even me? >> you defend the democrats. >> i think what he said was
1:18 pm
look, if we're going to be concerned about the constitution, we should be concerned about the constitution when george w. bush violated it. >> there was an earlier violation, who cares, keep an eyevating will -- violateing it. >> without a declaration of war and sent troops into af-- afghanistan and iraq, five times the supreme court said to bush you can't lock people up whenever you want -- >> megyn: what are you talking about? >> who -- >> what am i talking about? >> megyn: you're argue, right now -- if the constitution has been rye i violated in the past it's fine if it's violated in the future? >> my argument is the right wing went crazy when we had a previous administration that violated the constitution. megyn: i'm going to get they didn't think that was a constitutional violation just like the left doesn't think the health care law is a constitutional violation. >> i don't want the right wing to take this guy and make him the suppose person.
1:19 pm
megyn: this guy was so disturbed by this youtube video he made a statement on his own, he posted it on youtube. here's part of it. >> that comment that was taken completely out of context. i said, and i quote, i'm not worried about the constitution on this, meaning the health care bill i was not worried that the health care bill was ruled unconstitutional. if it had been, i would have never voted for a bill that i knew would be unconstitutional. i took an oath, i took an oath to defend this constitution, i will continue to do that, i served six years in the military, i'm saddened that this kind of politics has to happen. megyn: the problem is you got this guy on camera giving voice to what a lot of people believe about the left when it comes to health care, that they didn't care about the discussion -- >> that's what many believe, and he inartfully expressed something he should have said in greater context. megyn: it's pad p.r. >> he could have quoted article section 18 where the government provides for the
1:20 pm
welfare of the united states. megyn: he could have done that if he knew the difference between the declaration of independence and the constitution. >> are you having me on to defend this guy because that's not what i'm doing. megyn: why was he said he read the bill three times? that would be more than 40 hours a week, for three weeks. >> i'm a registered democrat and a proud liberal more than i am a democrat. i'm not here to defend this guy. look, he inartfully said it, i think his spin when he did this, here's what he meant to say, he said it's taken out of context, he went on to say he wasn't thinking about the constitution. megyn: he said the constitution was subverted in the sproas and this is what the right is saying, this is not constitutional, that's why they're going to bring these challenges, that the congress overstepped its bounds, ignored the bill of the people. >> you've got the attorneys general of both virginia and mccollum in florida who claim they want to bring a case, let the supreme court decide. by the way, it was mitt romney who supported this, scott brown, the so-called tea party
1:21 pm
candidate who supported this, forcing people to have health care, so republicans, all the way back to richard nixon had a plan to make health care mandatory. megyn: we'll be watching mitt romney when he probably will be watching for -- will be probably running for president, defending that. >> we will. megyn: folks, are you wondering where the good jobs are? you may want to high tail it to washington, d.c. new details on how rewarding it is to work for urk ul sam. within the hour, we'll show you what questions for tiger woods americans most want to have him answer. new developments in the court case of the four conservative activists who are looking to make a point in the health care debate. wait until you hear what's happening with this guy.
1:22 pm
1:23 pm
1:24 pm
1:25 pm
megyn: this is a fox news alert. new details coming in right now on the attack against a u.s. embassy in pakistan. security officials now telling us this was a target ed attempt to kill americans. look at that. the taliban stepping up their terror campaign with a coordinated assault, using car bombs, rockets, grenades, all on the heavily fortified compound. these pictures show the explosions and the giant cloud of dust. six people were killed, including four of the militants and one member of the pakistani security forces. the identity of the sixth person, not yet known. details are still coming into the newsroom. we're going to have a live report from pakistan a bit later this hour. three, two, one.
1:26 pm
zero. booster ignition. and liftoff of discovery. blaze ago trail to scientific discoveries aboard the space station. megyn: what a sight to behold, all systems go for the space shuttle discovery, nasa managers giving the green light for the shuttle to plast off early this morning, the 7-member crew on the way to the space igs -- space station. kris gutierrez saw it all happen. a few pieces of foam fell off the external tank when the shuttle launched. are nasa directors worried about that? >> they're not. that's a great point we should point out. obviously foam off the external tank in the past has been catastrophic, we clurnd that with columbia in 2003 and it's not here and i'll explain why. we have the external fuel tank, it's orange here and two solid boosters, so when the orbiter launched this morning, you know, it breaks apart and we've seen that video over and over. well, there's actually cameras mounted right here on the external fuel tank
1:27 pm
and what they do is they capture things like foam falling off the external fuel tank. take a look at video here, what we saw, and again, it's the timing that's important here, because around four minutes into the mission, four minutes after launch, we see pieces of debris, pieces of the external fuel tank, foam we're thinking, ripping off the external fuel tank and floating by the belly of the orbiter. did it strike the belly of the orbiter, we're not sure. nasa is looking into it. but again, it happened four minutes after the launch. the critical time nasa says is within the first two minutes and 15 seconds, anything after that, nasa says the air is way too thin up there to give that foam enough force to strike the -- to strike the orbetter and cause damage. so nasa does not believe it's catastrophic but it's definitely something they're looking at. megyn: i don't know if you can see our programming. with you didn't have video but just a picture. is this showing the debris or is this not what you were looking for? >> i'm looking a the return but i've got a satellite delay. yeah this, is the shot here.
1:28 pm
mig blig is the debris? >> right there, to the left of your screen. you see the white chips floating away? >> megyn: got it. >> i'm dealing with a satellite delay, so i'm probably five seconds behind. megyn: you got t i see t i wanted to make sure we were looking at the same thing. meantime, i got to ask you this because we talked about debris falling off the shuttle when it took off. there was also debris falling on you earlier today. let's watch that. >> let's watch. and this happened on the external fuel tank here, fell off around the 4-minute marker, and when i say it's not a huge, big deal, uh-oh, that happens, live television, but when i say it's not a big deal -- >> megyn: now, that was not a piece of the space shuttle, correct? >> new york city thankfully, it's not! we're happy to report that. but when it was was the screen. if we take a wide shot, we'll give your viewers a behind the scenes look at what we do for viewers here. this is the screen up here. what we want to do is make sure the sun doesn't cast ugly shadows on my face. our photographers work hard
1:29 pm
to make sure we look good, but a gust of wind came up, our photographer felt bad about what happened. you see phil gomez, he's making sure the light pole doesn't fall on me and down below, we even have sandbags, so we're fully protected. >> i know well, you needed him a little earlier! all the best to your crew. they did a nice job this time around. thanks so much, kris. >> see you megyn. megyn: something tells me that's going to wind up on the tonight show, letterman, something like that. i don't know how they're going to tie it together but they're going to. when tiger woods takes questions in half an hour, we're told there is are, this time, no restrictions. will anyone ask him about his infidelity, you think? let's find out. you'll see it live with me on "america live". plus from the beaches in miami to the jungles of africa, a former nfl cheerleader is now running from charging elephants. she joins me live later on to tell me about her new
1:30 pm
show on navment geo wild. -- on nat geo wild.
1:31 pm
1:32 pm
1:33 pm
megyn: update for you on some of our top stories now, rescue workers pulling 115 miners to safety in china, calling it a miracle they were still alive after a week underground. the state media says the search will continue for 38 miners who are still missing. more than a dozen members of michael jackson's family plan to appear at a hearing this afternoon for the doctor charged with causing his death. dr. conrad murray has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter of the king of pop. tiger woods may be at the master's but he's out of his comfort zone. in less than 30 minutes now the golfer will finally answer some questions from the media for the first time since the scandal of his extramarital affairs broke.
1:34 pm
meantime, fox news is on the job hunt. if your paycheck looks a little meager, maybe you want to work for the federal government. research shows that folks who work for uncle sam earn higher average salaries than private sector workers in many, many fields. shannon bream, live in washington. shannon, all right, how wide is the salary gap between the federal jobs and the private jobs? >> reporter: megyn, if you're looking at numbers from the bureau of labor statistics within the department of labor these are the government's numbers, if you compare federal jobs with private sector jobs, those counterparts, 83 percent of the time, federal jobs are going to pay you more, and that's just wages. but it doesn't end there. here's what chris edwards of the cato institute had to say. >> for example, all federal workers receive a very generous defined benefit pension plan. well, those types of pension plans sort of went out with the dinosaurs in the private sector years ago. many private sector workers don't receive pension benefits or health care
1:35 pm
benefits at all. but federal workers receive very generous health care and pension benefits. >> reporter: so megyn, in all a very nice package if you can get it. megyn: but nonetheless, there are critics who say this is not a fair comparison. >> reporter: yeah, they say we're talking about apples and oranges, that federal jobs, some of them are very specialized, not many of us can just go work at nasa, for example, something like that, and they say it's an unfair comparison. we talked with john gage of the afl-cio and president of the american federation of government employees. here's his take. >> you can't just break down a rather complex process on how pay is set, and how jobs match up with each other in the private sector, in the federal sector. >> reporter: and he also goes on to say that we should be happy that federal workers do have such good packages but i can tell you there's been pushback from the gop here on capitol hill, a number of members saying we cannot sustain practices where we have federal government employees, many of them making well over $100,000
1:36 pm
each for these jobs and the private sector continues to struggle, megynful megyn: shannon broom, thank you so much. speaking of big money, new reports today of serious campaign cash being raised ahead of the mid-term elections which are in november. it turns out a lot of this money has absolutely nothing to do with washington. but it could, it could, wind up affecting the balance of power there. here to explain what's going on and y. steve hayes, senior writer for the weekly standard, and a fox news contributor ander ca payne, former deputy finance director at dnc, democratic national committee, and founder of the agenda project. so this is so interesting to me, steve, dough is coming in and coming in huge on both sides and it is going not necessarily for u.s. congressmen and senators but for state lawmaker races, state legislature and governorships. why should the nation at large be looking so carefully at those races? >> because this is sort of a long term investment. what's going to happen after these elections coming up is
1:37 pm
that you're going to see redistricting, congressional redistricting across the country, you're going to have states that lose seats, you're going to have states that gain seats and the states that have control of state houses, both the legislatures and the governorships are going to be the parties that have control of the governorships and state legislatures are going to be the ones who redraw the districts and the districts, we all know, we've all sort of seen the screwy maps are most often drawn in ways that benefit political parties rather than a way from from my perspective makes sense. so the parties that get to redraw the map may find themselves benefiting by half a dozen, maybe more seats for the next ten years. megyn: because if you put the little -- when you're drawing the district lines where people vote, if you put a nice big line around mostly liberal districts, then you're probably going to get a liberal democrat elected to that office, whereas if you draw your county line around a district that has more republicans in it, maybe you get a different result. erica, that's why everybody is watching these races so
1:38 pm
closely, national donors, funneling money into small communities, including states like indiana, where i'm told the gop picks up three seats in the state house, the state house there, then the party controls both chambers and that could help republicans on the national level, and that's just one microcosm. >> that's right. there are about 7000 state legislative seats this time, and there are only about 100 that can really help swing the balance of the whole country, so those 100 are going to be the races to watch, which on some level i guess, depending upon how you look at it, makes the race kind of interesting. from where i'm sitting i join a lot of americans in being disgusted with how much money has to do with politics right now and you mentioned indiana, an average state house race in indiana costs $150,000, which is an absurd amount of money and there's actually a state legislative race in texas which will be one of the 100, one of the hotly contested ones, and it's estimated to cost a million dollars, and i'm sure other
1:39 pm
people agree with me that there's a million dollars we could spend a lot better than that way. megyn: but steve, the stakes are extremely high, because tom delay did this in texas, this was like his rise to fame, did he not, steve? he basically said let's take control of the state legislature so we can redraw the state line, redirect nine number of seats in the u.s. congress and it came to fruition and went to the supreme court later. >> i think that's exactly right, and it's why it's so important for the respected parties to be able to have this kind of control, to have this kind of power, and as i say, this is a long-term plan. rather than spend a couple hundred thousand dollars on, say, a congressional race, a u.s. congressional race, u.s. house race, a donor wa lot of money is much better spending that money on one of these races that erica mentions where you'll get more bang for your buck. $150,000 may seem like a lot to a lot of people but in the vast world of political campaign finance it really isn't that much money and you can get far more bang
1:40 pm
for your buck in the smaller races, even with money pouring in that interest groups and what have you, a dollar spent in a state house race that could affect the makeup of the u.s. congress for the next decade is much better spent than $1 in the u.s. house race that may be competitive for this year. megyn: erica, that's why one top republican was saying we cannot only make gains in congress for two years, but for ten years, if we can win at the state level in the upcoming elections. do you see those as critical to what happens in this country politically for the next decade? >> there's no question about t. absolutely, the different states have different laws about how they divide it up but who is in power in those states definitely matters, and that's when the redistricting is going to happen and, you know, to both political parties, they're going to fight it out, duke it out to the finish and they're going to call on every single one of their major donors, those people interested in good public policy, those who are not interested in good
1:41 pm
public policy and all the money is going to flow in and we're going to stay with the system we have which is frankly broken on both sides and it rewards political parties but doesn't necessarily reward the american people. megyn: it will be interesting to watch. right now the democrats have more moun in the coffers and certain cat goes, but the republicans are more motivated to actually show up and vote come the midterm. so still have a few months to watch. steve, erica, thank you for being here. >> you bet. megyn: tiger woods is set to take questions from a roomful of reporters. it's the first set of questions since the car crash that exposed his secret life. twenty minutes from now. you'll see it live. dog's is supposed to be man's best friend but one pooch could be a popular store's worst enemy. kelly's court has the scoop over the multi-million-dollar -- well, just $1 million, but still it's a million dollars petsmart lawsuit, just ahead. and what happens when a feisty male gorilla comes face face to face with an award naturalist who used to be a

the gorilla. there, she immerses herself in the gorilla community and gets hair raisiny close to one of the 350-pound apes. maria is host of nat geo's amazing gorillas. >> it's great to be here. megyn: that's craziness! we see you. >> reporter: s away from the silver bat gorilla? >> yes, this was quite a scary moment because i have been working with primates for a very long time and i worked with gorillas before in the wild and i've been charged, and generally you do what the test book tells you to do, which is to just act like another gorilla, stay sub missive, stay in one place. this was a very different moment. when i turned around, i saw aan intense look in kingo's eyes and i had a split second to move out of his way and when i did, i looked and he was sitting in the
1:47 pm
very spot i had just been in. megyn: was there any part of your brain saying run for your life! >> actually, my brain was saying you should really get life insurance. [laughter] megyn: good luck with that, you're probably uninsurable! reading your bio, you in a former life were a miami dolphins cheer leader, now you hang out with poisonous snakes, pawed with leopards, on and on it goes. for this particular special you dealt with all the gorillas and what jumped out to me, you're going to explain this the sexual politics and diningate quet of these gorillas. what an earth did you learn about that? >> it's amazing. this special really captures it. you know, watching gorillas, it's very much like watching a soap opera, it's got all the drama, the conflict, the gorilla porn, the sex, the betrayal, it's got it all. we were able to witness firsthand some first-time
1:48 pm
behaviors that had never been targeted, kingo let's lucky with a few of the females a few tiles and they definitely like to eat, it takes a lot to sustain a 350-pound silverback. >> you know along the western lowland of the congo and find these gorillas and this community that's basically been untouched, where there are more than 100,000 gorillas, right, in this area? >> it's incredible. you know, there's a lot of political turmoil in these parts, and that's actually what's kept these gorillas safe and hidden in their own little natural eden, and to be able to go in and be just a handful of people to see these gorillas in the w50eu8d, and not just -- wild, to not just see them but to get so close, to be able to watch them day in, day out, was unbelievable. megyn: one of the things you talk about, normal kingo is the king, he's the male, he's the dominant guy as we saw in the clip where he tried to make you part of the harem, but nonetheless,
1:49 pm
you say the women, the female gorillas, you say, might actually be in control. how so? >> well, what i love is the guy always gets the attention, the male, because they are big, they're aggressive, they're loud, but the females are quite clever, and in sort of the bronze versus brains, the females seem to use the manipulate kingo into doing what they wanted him to do. one example was kingo did not really want to go on the swatches, which i was on his side on this one but the females wanted to go to the swamps, the swamps are where everything nasty leaves, you reach out to a branch and it's got a thorn the length of your index finger, and the females finally, because civment ngo was just reluctant to go, schemed a little bit, as you'll see in this special and you'll have to tune in, but the females get their way, they're quite clever. megyn: that's a euphemism for life. you can expand that -- expand that beyond the congo!
1:50 pm
as i mentioned, she was once a cheer leader but she decided to go get a phd in anthropologist, which isn't easy to do and she's in the wild. you can catch more, maria, thank you very much, for her adventures in the wild on mystery gorillas, it premieres tonight, 10:00 p.m. on the new cable tv channel nat-geo wild. i'm definitely staying up for that. that sounds very cool. good for mer. it may be one of the most highly anticipated news conferences of the year and it happens ten minutes away, tiger woods, unscripted, ten minutes, live in augusta, when it happens. and she suffered incredible humilitation after a stalker filmed her undressing and posted the video on the internet for the world to see. now espn reporter erin andrews facing a new disturbing threat. and there's no doubt they wanted to kill americans. the brazen attack launched by taliban fighters against the u.s. consulate. a live report from pakistan with the developments you need to hear. stay tuned.

tiger woods for the first time he will speak publicly to reporters about the sex scandal that shattered his image. phil, set the scene. what are we talk in terms attendees, will it be a free-for-all where these reporters can finally ask tiger woods whatever they want to ask him? >> reporter: everybody in the room, 207 credentialed media representatives will be able to ask anything they want. the augusta national golf club did have one similar type of stipulation here and that is the questions have to be respectful. that's a subjective definition so what is going to be disrespectful, do not know. because these questions after all the tabloid stories and all of these dozen mistresses claiming to have extra marital
2:01 pm
affairs leads to a lot of tawdry questions. this is the iconic shot of the masters. you have got the magnolia trees, off in the distance yellow flowers in the shape of the united states of america. this is where players, members of the golf club and officials with the masters tournament, this is where they enter and exit the club. so presumably this is where tiger woods entered in a tinted window suv that he has been riding around in since this implode on him, the story about his personal life thanksgiving weekend. megyn: what is the choreography of the event? do we expect a statement from him before we get questions? >> reporter: no indication yet, we'll find out.
2:02 pm
megyn: i have got to imagine that even tiger woods is a little nervous before facing the reporters on such as these. we'll take a listen to see what he has to say as he takes his seat. and let's just listen. >> ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon and a warm welcome to you all. i'm the chairman of the masters media committee. it's my pleasure to welcome everyone to the masters golf club and the tournament. if i would like to welcome tiger woods, a four-time masters champion. this is tiger's 16th masters tournament. we are delighted to have you here with us. any comments that you would like to make before you invite questions from the floor? >> sure. today i got a chance to play
2:03 pm
with freddy, then jim joined us on the 13th hole. and it was just a great day today. coming into today i didn't know what to expect with regards to the reception. and i'll tell you what, the galleries couldn't be nicer. it was incredible. and the encouragement i got -- it was just -- it blew me away to be honest with you. it really did. and the people here over the years are extremely respectful, but today was something that touched my heart pretty good. i would also like to, i guess, make another little comment before we start. i know that the players over the past few months have been bombarded by questions by all of
2:04 pm
you and the public as well, and i would like to tell the players hopefully after today -- after answering questions in this press conference, the players can be left alone to focus on the masters, and focus on the game for not only this week, but going forward as well. so i apologize to all of them for having to endure what they have had to endure the past few months. a lot has happened in my life the past five months. and i'm here at masters to play and compete. and just really excited about doing that. and i missed the competition, i missed seeing the guys. a lot of my friends i haven't seen in a while. it's great to play golf with freddy and jim, two of my best
2:05 pm
friends. i played with mark yesterday for nine holes. i'm playing with him tomorrow as well as steve. >> you said in a recent interview that everything was in the police report. but it didn't contain about the injuries that sent you to the hospital. can you tell us what they were? >> i had a busted up lip and pretty sore neck and that was it. >> five stitches? in the five weeks from the accident until you went into therapy, why didn't you speak to the police or the media that covers you year-round? >> i did everything to the letter of the law. the lawyer said -- gave me the advice and i followed that advice. and again i did everything to the letter of the law. i did talk to my sponsors.
2:06 pm
people how was close to in the various companies. >> what's been the most difficult thing for you to deal with the past few months? >> probably two things. one being having to look at myself in a light i never wanted to look at myself. that was difficult. how far astray i got from my core fundamentals. core morals my mom and dad taught me. and having to break all that down and as i said in an interview with all the denial and rationalization. to cut through that and take a hard look at myself. that's when i started finding strength and peace. the other is -- the other
2:07 pm
difficult part the past few months has just been a constant harassment to my family. my wife and kids being photographed everywhere they go. being badgered. that's tough. that's tough on them. it's hard for us to heal and trying to get through this as best we can. >> you said in february if you returned to the game you wanted to show more respect for the game. in what way are we going to see differences out there between the ropes and outside the ropes. >> great yes. i'm going to -- great question. i'm going to try not to get as hot when i play. but i can't play one without the other. so i made a conscious decision to try to tone down my negative outbursts and consequently i'm
2:08 pm
sure my positive outbursts will be calmed down as well. just trying to be more respectful of the game. acknowledge the fans is did today. that was an incredible reception today for all 18 holes. showing my appreciate yaiks for them. i haven't -- my appreciation for them. i haven't done that in the past years and that was wrong of me. so many kids have looked up to me and so many fans have supported me over the years. i want to say thank you to them, especially going through all of this the past few months, it put things in perspective and how much i have appreciated -- or underappreciated the fans and the game of golf. >> you won a lot of golf tournaments living a completely secret life. how were you able to do that and
2:09 pm
secondly do you feel -- what kind of golfer do you feel you will be now going forward without having this secret? >> i think it's how i was early in my career. i have had some great years, and unfortunately over the past years it's been just terrible to my family. and the fact i won golf tournaments i think is irrelevant. it's the pain and damage i have caused my wife, my mom, my wife's family. my kids. going forward they are going to have to explain all this to them. and that's my responsibility. i did it. and i take full responsibility for it. and as i said, winning golf tournaments through all this is irrelevant compared to the
2:10 pm
damage i caused. >> tiger, you have been known [inaudible] you probably know dr. scalia had performance-enhancing drawings in his possession. why did you feel it was necessary to have this particular doctor come to your home and what did he specifically do for you? >> christine, he did come to my house. he never gave me hgh or any peds. i have never taken any drug for that matter. i had prp, platinum enriched plasma treatments. they draw blood from your arm. spent and take the plasma out and incertain it into the injuries. in 2008 i blew out my acl.
2:11 pm
part of my reconstruction of my acl wasn't reacting properly. it was a little bit stuck. so i had the prp injection into my lcl. in december i started to train, started running again and ier to my achilles in my right leg. i then had prp injections throughout the year. i kept retearing it throughout the year and throughout the summer. i used -- i also went into hyperbaric chambers to help drive in -- help it heal faster. and did what i possibly could to heal so i could get back on the golf course through the prp injections. >> what do you anticipate today to be like for you?
2:12 pm
how nervous are you? >> sitting here i'm not that nervous. as far as getting out there, i was more nervous. that first tee, i didn't know what to expect, steve. it's one of those things i have never been in this position before. to be out there in front of the people. i have done some things that are just horrible. and for the fans to really want to see me play golf again, that felt great. it really did. i have kind of focused on placement of shots and getting ready. but today was different. i kind of took it in a little bit more. more than i did in a long time taint felt really good. >> you usually have tunnel vision. will you be able to keep your competitive edge as high as it
2:13 pm
was and be able to be for engaging? >> i'm going to try and obviously hit the ball in the hollas best i -- the ball in the hole as best i can. for them to still cheer for me is incredible. it really is. >> tiger, you and the rest of us discovered a lot of media we didn't know existed until the accident. i wonder your response to the mainstream media which was a lot more critical than it had been. were you surprised? or did you sort of expect that? >> i was surprised with mainstream media -- i think it's also the times have changed as well. 24-hour news -- you look for any
2:14 pm
kind of news to get out there. and i know a lot of my friend are in here and i haven't seen them or talked to them, but i have read their articles. of course, they have been critical of me. they should because what i have done is wrong. but a lot of you in here are my friend and will always be my friend. >> tiger, it's been reported that you took precipitation drugs zanbien and vicodin and if you became addicted to either one of them or received treatment. >> i have taken them, yes. i have had pretty interesting knee situations over the years. i have had four operations now on my left knee. in the last year with my torn achilles. it hurt quite a bit at times. yes, i did take that and i took most of the time i was on the
2:15 pm
drug when my dad died. that was a tough time in my life. so that was tough taking that. some of those things to help me sleep. and that's about it. >> have you received treatment for it? >> how is your knee? is it still giving you pain on a daily, weekly, monthly basis? >> my knee feels great. the only time doesn't fell good is when a front comes through. most people realize there is arthritis in there and i'm getting older. but other than that it feels great. it's strong, it's explosive again which is great. now my achilles is good now. so i'm training like i used to years ago. >> just to follow up on crisp question -- just to follow up on
2:16 pm
chris question. what leds you to go to the doctor. >> i went to see dr. whitten for my eyes. there is a comfort level when a person has worked with athletes. you said earlier you were in some form a rehab. are you still in rehab? >> i was in there for 45 days. and it was to take a hard look at myself and i did. i have come out better, a much better person for it than i was going in. and does that mean i'm ever going to stop doing that? no. i'll continue my treatment. and that's going forward. that's not going to stop in the near future for sure. >> what was it for? >> that's personal, thank you.
2:17 pm
>> federal investigators contacted some of the other athletes that have worked with dr. galis. >> i'll be in full cooperation whenever they need me but they haven't asked for my time. >> tiger, you said in one of your statement that you felt entitled over the years. how are you able -- i assume that wasn't the first time you thought that -- how were you able to rationalize that while you were engaging in that behavior and still playing such winning golf. you said you were entitled. at the same time i'm wondering how you were able to rationalize that in your meanwhile it was going on. >> that part of the problem i had is that the way i was thinking was not correct. and that's part of where i was
2:18 pm
at. i was rationalizing, denying, in total denial at times. whatever i did was -- i lied to myself, i lied to others -- just because i was winning golf tournaments doesn't mean a thing. the way i was thinking caused so much harm with the people that i love and care about the most on this planet. >> did you only realize that after it became public? >> after i started going to treatment, they started stripping all that away from me. >> tiger, your behavior, personal life before thanksgiving, do you think it negatively impacted your play on the course? could you have been playing better if you had more discipline in your personal life? >> i would like to say yes. i would have been more centered, more balanced. and that's where i'm headed
2:19 pm
towards. that's what i'm working toward each and every day. i meditate religiously again like i used to. i go back to my roots in buddhism with my mom. i needed to do these things the way i used to do it. and unfortunately i got away from that. i just lost that. and unfortunately also i lost my life in the process. >> tiger, the doctor you were work with has brand-new out there for several months. it led to some assumptions speculating you might have been doing performance enhancing drugs. why not talk about that sooner than now to get that put aside? also you references your achilles. was that before you came back to golf last year? >> i haven't done any
2:20 pm
interviews, first of all. when i did, kelly and tom, i don't belief they asked me those questions. as far as the injury, it was a week before the chevron tournament. and it's a couple months prior. plus one of the reasons when i did come back and started playing i was hitting the ball short. i couldn't push off on my right side. as i said, i have torn it a couple more times throughout the year. and needed injections to try and heal the wound. >> in february you gave the impression you might not come back this year. did you genuinely belief that at the time, and coming back, is it entirely your decision? >> when i gave my speech in
2:21 pm
february i had no intentions of playing golf in the near future at all. and i just had barely started practicing two days prior to that. and then i started hitting more balls and more balls and i started getting the itch to start playing again. and we started working again and that felt great, it felt like old times. so much has transpired, it felt like old times to have hank out there to work hard on my game for hours on end. that's why i made the decision to come back and play. the reason i didn't come back earlier than that because i wasn't ready for it. i wasn't even near physically ready to play at this level. i needed more time. and hank has come down quite a bit. we came up here on two different occasions to do some work on the golf course.
2:22 pm
and here we are. >> it was -- >> i had had a lot of support, and that's been the great thing about it. >> there was a four-week lapse between the accident and when with you entered therapy. when did you make that decision this was something you were going to have to deal with rather than just push it into the background? >> well, probably just prior to christmas i made the decision to enter rehab. and having spent christmas day with my family was just incredible. then having to go off from there into treatment, that was a very difficult time. because what people don't realize is because of the time frame of it i missed my son's first birthday, and that hurts a lot.
2:23 pm
and i vowed i would never miss another one after that. i can't go back to where i was. i want to be a part of my son's life and my daughter's life going forward. and i missed his first birthday. that was very hard that day. and something i regret and i probably will for the rest of my life. >> [inaudible] >> no. >> repairing your relationship -- >> i decided to play this week. >> how much do they know about everything that was going on -- >> certainly i have everyone around me. i have lied and deceived a lot of people and a lot of people
2:24 pm
didn't know way was doing. i have had -- again a tremendous amount of support as well from others on the outside, and it's been a difficult time, but also i'm surprised by how much supportive gone the as well. >> we have come to know you as someone who controls things around you pretty tightly. whether it's this or everywhere in your life. with all the reports that have come out with a lot of loose end with the things you did with text messages or whatever those things be, it leads me to wonder why you would leave so many loose ends and is there some element of you that wanted to get caught? >> i don't know. all i know is i acted just terribly, poorly, and made bad decisions.
2:25 pm
decisions that have hurt so many people close to me. and that's enough. >> how did you fool so many people for so long? >> you know, tom, i fooled myself as well. i lied to a lot of people, deceived a lot of people, kept others in the dark. rationalized, even lied to myself. and that's -- when you strip all that away and you start realizing -- when i strip all that away and realize what i had done, the full magnitude of it, it's pretty brutal. and i take full responsibility for what i have done. and i don't take that lightly. >> how will this affect your
2:26 pm
legacy? >> my dad -- it's amazing how he says things that comes back. in order to help people you have to first have to learn how to help yourself. that's what he used to say. i never under that. when i was in treatment, i wrote that down and looked at it every day and learned how to help myself so i can help more people going forward, infinitely more than i did prior to all this. >> in light of the course pressure you have been experiencing, how important is the support you had on the first tee when it's just you and your caddie steve williams? >> to have stevie back is just tremendous. it really is. he's a great friends, always has
2:27 pm
been. we are honest with one another, and have had a long talk. and it was a great talk as well. and it's great to have him back. he's excited to get back and compete again. he's been doing well raisingwise. he won the new zealand championships. but this is another part of his life that loves to do. he loves to be back here at augusta. for us to go back out there as a team together feels good. >> tiger, do you feel the same way about your pursuit of jack this has' record in does it have to take a difference perspective >> when i had, dei went through that period when my father was sick and passed away, it put things in perspective real
2:28 pm
quick. when my kids were born, it put it in perspective. then what i have done here it puts it in perspective. it's not about the championships. it's not how you look at life. and i hadn't done that the right way for a while. and i need to change that. and going forward, i need to be a better man going forward than i was before. and just because i have gone through treatment doesn't mean it stops. i'm trying as hard as i possibly can each and every day to get my life better and better and stronger. and if i win championships along the way, so be it. but along the way i want to help more people that are -- haven't quite learned how to help themselves just like how i was. >> tiger, did ambien play a role
2:29 pm
in the car crash? you were described by the witnesses as mumbleing, slurring. >> the police investigated the accident and they cite me $160. and it's a closed case. >> tiger, obviously the treatment -- the treatment is about improving your self, getting back to the masters is improving golf. from tiger woods' perspective do you build an industry around yourself and a lot of companies got behind you. when they dropped you, what was your thought about them dropping you and as you approach this what do you tell sponsors who may want to support you about why they should get behind you. >> the first part or second part? it's a long wined it's a
2:30 pm
long-winded one. do i under why they dropped me? of course. i made a lot of mistakes in my life. i understand why they would do that. going forward hopefully i can prove to the other companies going forward that i am a worthy investment. that i can help their company. help their company grow and represent them well. i felt like i was representing companies well in the past, but then again, i wasn't doing it the right way because of way was engaged in. >> golfwise what are your expectations this week? >> nothing has changed. i'll try to go out there and win this time.
2:31 pm
>> i think you would agree putting has cost you a couple green jackets in the past years. after playing practice rounds are you more concerned with putting or other parts of the game? >> well, the fact that i haven't played at all -- that's a little bit concerning. i'm hoping i get my feel back quickly. feel for the game, feel for shots, feel for how my body is reacting, what my distances will be. i hope i get that back relatively quickly. maybe hopefully the first hole. but if not, i just hope it' the second hole. that's what i'm looking forward to. >> i was curious, you talk about your nerves, how do you expect that will be thursday? a little different, because it
2:32 pm
matters -- then you talk about the fans being so supportive. when you met with your peers can you tell us who was supportive. >> the fans have been incredible. getting out there and doing what i have done for a long time i'm look forward to that. as far as my peers, every one that been great. it's amazing how many hugs i have gotten from the guys. this only monday. i have seen them yesterday and today and a couple times i have been up here prior to this, i have been up here as well, and i'm surprised by that. how well received. >> tiger, why did you not feel the need to do what you are doing now a few months ago? >> because i was -- a few months
2:33 pm
ago? when was a few months ago? >> this year. >> january. december. >> let's say december. >> december because i wasn't in a right place for it. and january i was in rehab. >> tiger, you talked about the importance of your therapy and the rehab. was there a time prior to that that you thought you needed therapy, you gave it some consideration of going to rehab or did you ever try to quit -- >> i was not in that position. i was not in that frame of mind. i was not in a place where i hadn't hit far enough on the bottom to make myself look at what i have done. and way was engaged in. and not until then -- once that
2:34 pm
happened i went to rehab. >> tiger do you intend to play in the ryder cup? >> i'm not on the team, am i? i have got a long way to go. >> would you like to play it? >> if i qualify. >> what do you think of the last five months -- how you are going to deal and come back from the acl. >> you know, rosie, it's my first -- i haven't looked forward to that tee shot in a long time, not like this. it feels fun again. that's something i have been missing. have i been winning? i have been competing and doing well?
2:35 pm
yes, i have. and i won numerous tournaments the last few years. but i wasn't having anywhere near the amount of fun. why? look way was engaged in. when you are living a lie, lying all the time, life is not fun. and that's where i was. now that's been stripped away and here i am. and it feels fun again. >> [inaudible] the acl? >> i would have to say this emotionally and the acl physically by far. >> [inaudible] this week -- >> i think of all tournaments this is the one tournament where it's not as bad. media is not allowed inside the ropes. you don't have -- i have got
2:36 pm
u.s. open and british open, you have 100 people inside the roams moving around. it's -- inside the ropes moving around. i think most of the guys, if there is one week it would probably be this week, regarding the circumstances. >> we are glad to have you back. good luck. >> thanks, guys. megyn: there you have it, an extraordinary 3 minute with tiger woods before he embarks on the masters tournament laying it all on the line talk frankly and openly about his affairs and what life hold for him both personal and professional matter. watching with me has been our fox and friends cohost. brian, let me start with you.
2:37 pm
what was the most extraordinary thing you heard there or observed? >> he's very humble and modest and he seems like a guy who is relieved. to see the gallery, meet the people and see the press and have this open with. if you think about the statement and the two interviews, clearly he said i'm not talking about things you want plea to talk about. today -- things you want me to talk about. when they said elin is not here. he said i decided to play. another guy is he said i lie and deceived and he's relieved that part is over. i thought that was interesting. one legal aspect to this. a lot of people want to know why did you meet with that doctor, why did you ask him to come to your house for blood spinning. you are tiger woods. the investigators haven't contacted his agent already. like other outstanding athletes,
2:38 pm
this guy could be answering questions to federal authorities. megyn: the doctor has been arrested for having performance-enhancing drugs in his possession. >> in candidate's okay, but in america it isn't. megyn: trace, was that the biggest news headline that came out of this? >> reporter: i think it was. what they are saying is this doctor came down, tiger woods brought him to orlando after he had surgery. his knee wasn't healing as fast as he thought it would. they take blood out, they spin it to make it platelet rich. the theories it will make you heal faster. tiger woods can get any doctor on the planet. why a canadian doctor who has been linked to other athletes and hga human hormones.
2:39 pm
tiger mentioned no peds. what he means is no performance enhancing drug that he used. he has denied using these things over and over again. a question still a lot of people not satisfied. megyn: the federal investigators have contacted the agent but he said not me yet. on the other front, the affairs. he talks openly about it, but he talks like he is a changed man. obviously he went through rehab, he went through 45 days in something that he calls personal. but my question to you guys is, this only happened four months ago. four months ago this guy was having an affair by his own admission, by public reports, with dozens of women. there are reports of cocktail waitresses and porn stars and one woman saying she had a
2:40 pm
couple aborings during the time she was sleeping with him. text messages where he's asking for a threesome saying i want to choik and hold down. this was happening three months ago when we were having our thanksgiving dinner. now he comes out, is that forgotten? is he a role model now again? >> no. but if you think about this. kobe bryant is the closest thing i can think of. remember the rape allegations? no one wanted to wear kobe bryant's jersey. now it's the hottest selling jersey. is rape worse than cheating on your wife. i think his real problem is and what separates him from most athletes is if this guy was single they would say, wow, this guy is active. he's a crazy bachelor who is rich and successful. but he didn't do anything to break the law except for
2:41 pm
breaking the vows of his marriage. megyn: you guys are both fathers to young children. can he be a role model to your children now? is that where we are that you can do all that? i gets's a personal matter, but he's a public figure who has done reprehensible things. has he elevated himself back to role model status? reporter: i believe the best role models are parents, teachers, coaches. is he a golf icon? sure he is. would i want my kid to use tiger as a role model? no. tiger woods is a terrific golfer. maybe it best we have ever seen. i think he just came out and said i want to get back into buddhism, practicing it. i'm meditating a lot more. i want to lean toward my mom, go back toward my family. he will be the first to admit he has a long road to go before
2:42 pm
he's healed. but i don't look at sports, never have and never will, as role models in society. they always disappoint you. >> reporter: not always. let's all meet again in two years. if this guy straightens out his life and wins golf tournaments again. he's not asking you to, he's worried about dealing dealing ws kids who are young now and having to explain himself as they get older. i think if he has a big weekend, this will be the biggest store i you can imagine. big as the world cup and the olympics. if saturday this guy is still in contention, he will be big as life. >> reporter: cbs is going to make a boat load of money, tiger woods is one of the few human beings who can elevate ratings by i am self. -- by himself. megyn: he said when he was
2:43 pm
playing golf and lying he said life was not fun. good for him, you have got to root for his family, that's for sure. thank you both so much. folks, the ground keeps moving out in southern california. we have new information about the quake that jolted the border with mexico. and at aftershocks that are rolling on at this moment. meantime up the coast in l.a. we are waiting on a court hearing for the doctor accused of causing the death of michael jackson. conrad murray is not guilty. he may offer an unexpected defense that has the family incensed. one bad step that could be worth a million dollars. a cute puppy that couldn't hold and the pet store that may be paying for it. ah! silver one. that's not a volkswagen. ♪

2:48 pm
claims. this is a procedural hearing. i just got off the phone with the defense team and they told me a couple things. they want this hearing to be reset. they haven't got a lot of discovery evidence and they can't tell the judge whether they are ready for a prelim. they say their defendants team is small. for the courts to come out and proclaim a coca-cola defense. dr. murray will claim michael jackson administered the drug to himself. and they haven't got all the evidence to even make their defense. that's coming from the defense team. they say their number one priority is to insure that dr. murray keeps his medical license. the california attorney general is expected to ask at this hearing that the bail be changed so this medical license will be suspended until this case is over. all this begins in an hour and a half. and we'll keep up updated

megyn: "kelly's court" is back in tetion. on the docket, the million dollar doo at america's most popular pet shop. all right. a virginia man claims he really stepped in it in petsmart. hurting his back, hitting his head, knock out four his false teeth. not to men the need for a new
2:53 pm
pair of shoes. he says the store which invites animals on leashes failed to perform its pooper scooper duties. petsmart denies negligence, but the plaintiff is suing for a million dollars. should he get it? let's ask our panel arthur aidala and mark eiglarsh. >> number two in aisle four? i'm done. megyn: this is a career high for me. it's going on a resume tape. does this man have a case? >> he does have a case. a negligence case is duty and a breach of duty. i didn't realize i was saying that. it's the first day of law school you learn that. duty, breach of duty. they had a duty to make sure the aisle is safe. from all times of things that
2:54 pm
can injure somebody. they breached that duty when the dog did duty and nobody immediately cleaned it up and he slipped and hurt -- he knocked out his teeth and he has some real injuries. he will get -- he will get money. megyn: mark, there was duty. >> there sure was. i think this lawsuit is as compelling as this one i was considering against fox. right before i came into the skewed ohio i walked into a wall. no one warned me it was there, no one told me how heard it was and i suffered injury. in 2008 a case had more compelling facts than this one. and there was a summary judgment. megyn: but this guy got hurt. he lost the four false teeth which is no laughing matter. he said he had to have back surgery.
2:55 pm
he's 69 years old. he says he twisted violently and smacked his head. this guy got hurt because he says they left this accident in the middle of the aisle and nobody cleaned it up. >> he can make a great case. i'm glad my esteemed colleague brought up the giordano case. she couldn't prieft was dog urine d she couldn't profit was dog urine on the floor as opposed to another kind of liquid. the court found the store is liable -- they are obligated. they have a duty to clean up after these dogs, and to show the store knows they have that duty they have cleanup stations all over the store. megyn: in 75% of the cases the owners clean up the pet. you are encouraged to bring your pet. if your pet pet does something n
2:56 pm
the floor you are supposed to clean it up. isn't he going to be subject to the assumption of the risk defense? off course. i would argue i think creditably that duty as arthur keeps referring to it is more known and visible to somebody walking than the alleged urine that was in the geordano case. the difference between active and passive conduct. they don't have the active conduct they need that was missing in the giordano case. megyn: thanks for coming on. one final word. this case smells like the product that started it. a similar lawsuit in the same court against the same defendant was thrown out. this guy knew the risks of walking through petsmart and he already had a preexisting back injury. and he's suing for a million bucks? please. don't want to step in dog doo,
