but he was in a sense a philosopher. this is why it's so important to understand this sort of dove-tailed into the papacy of benedict. benedict is a theologian and they had the same vision for the church. it's just that they have sort of lived them out in a different way. here you've got john paul the philosopher and his papacy is kind of living on in benedict, but i think that people remember this is a papacy that will live on to eternity because one day he will be st. john paul ii. >> the lauren today is a day none of us will forget as those the faithful continue to remember there. we thank you, lauren green, father jonathan morris and thank you, monsignor as well. and thank you for joining us for the beatification of john paul ii. >> and the beatification has now completed.

♪ >> welcome in to "fox & friends" on this beautiful sunday morning here in new york city and thank you for waking up early with us and perhaps many of you were already up early this morning. heather in for alisyn camerota. >> nice to see you here. >> and a great broadcast that preceded us on the program. as we saw, the pope beatification taking place now and that's the final step before sainthood as you know, i'm sure you watched some coverage the previous hours, what a ceremony that was there at the vatican, nearly a million followers there, the biggest crowd there since pope john paul ii's funeral back in 2005. hard to believe that was six years ago. >> at least a million people, they believe, joining that mass today. an unbelievable number of people. what a beautiful moment.
7:00 am
>> if you're just waking up with us this morning, our greg burke has a look back at the ceremony with some sights and sounds. >> when john paul ii died the crowds came to pay respects to the pope were like nothing seen at the vatican and yet, the enormous crowds were just a fraction of people whose lives were changed by the polish pope. >> you meet great people and often come away that the meeting was about them. but with john paul ii, the meeting was all about you. he knows something about that. >> at first, holy father when you're in heaven will you stay with us, your spiritual children with you on earth and he understood and he put his hand on my forehead, and he made the sign of the cross, and he said, yes. jesuit priest says when he was just out of high school, he he got him thinking. >> he he opened up for me a whole new way of living, and that's questionable.
7:01 am
how am i going to live, and what kind of man will i become. >> pope john paul ii had an enormous influence on the catholic church and particularly on young people and they knew they were loved, not just by john paul ii, but loved by god. and they flock to that. >> while pope john paul was elected as an energetic 58-year-old athlete who climbed mountains and skied he would suffer severely first in the 1981 assassination attempt and later when he broke his leg in a paul he kept parkinson's disease kept him from speaking. >> we were left with the i am imagine of a man deeply reduced by a long and debilitating illness, who exemplified to the world how to suffer. >> while people played for pope john paul ii in his final
7:02 am
days, immediately after he died, they prayed to the pope asking his help in obtaining favor and miracles from god. >> that was greg burke, excellent coverage from rome. >> and the first step toward sainthood they have to attribute another year to them. >> and could be years according to father john. and putting on a ceremony like that, takes a lot of wrangling. father john later in the program. now to the growing disaster in the south. and volunteers pitching in to help those hit by the worst disaster since 1925. and one of them, the city's seeing widespread disaster is tuscaloosa. >> and rick reichmuth is with us. good morning. >> you said it, widespread. most of the town, certainly the center of town completely destroyed and death toll in alabama alone 250 now and the mayor last night saying that the number of missing in
7:03 am
tuscaloosa at 434 and he he expects that the death toll here is going to rise and here is the sun is rising for the fourth day and picked a new location almost anywhere you go, guys, this kind of stuff. take a look at the tree, the bark ripped off and the trees snapped off and a very nice neighborhood here, reduced to shambles. so many pieces are going into effect and so many people getting their hands into the recovery effort. and i'm joined by the spokesperson here for fema and tell me, what is your role here in this kind of a disaster? >> certainly at this stage in the disaster recovery, our role is to get the survivors of the disaster to register for fema system. if i could 800-261-fema or 1800-2 1800-2613362 a step two is to
7:04 am
work with local state and federal partners to advance the recovery process which means, also, debris removal. and making sure people have a place to live. making sure that they have access to counseling and other things that all of our partners provide to them. >> i want to put some perspective on this, you've been involved in many disasters including katrina. it's very difficult, i think, for any of us to visually grasp the severity of this. how does this compare to katrina all of us understand at this point what that was? >> everybody remembers all the video and as you ask me that question earlier i'm looking around and i'm thinking, i've seen this before. and this is long beach, mississippi, this is we've been here and it's of that scale, that nature of destruction, and beyond that, i've never seen anything like this. >> i've heard a lot of people in the area saying, we know there are fema trailers out there, i think that's one of
7:05 am
the images that was left and there are mobile homes out there to be used. any possibility for bringing those here for people who are homeless. >> that's a call the state will make and they'll look at the amount of facilities to put people up, to make sure they have a safe place to stay. and then they'll make the call. and then we'll respond to whatever they want to do. >> homeland security, secretary janet napolitano will be visiting with other cabinet members. what does that mean for this? >> i think that it underscores the depth of the total federal response to this disaster. and you're bringing in agriculture. you're bringing in hud and sba. this should clearly demonstrate to the people of alabama the depth of the federal response and our intent on, you know, the nature of our recovery, for the people of alabama. >> all right. we will put that number for
7:06 am
people to register in fema. very important and i'll do that as well. a coordinated effort and will need to be a coordinated effort to respond to this kind of a disaster that i think that people are starting to understand exactly how big that is. with that said, back to you. >> absolutely, rick reichmuth live there and fema worked closely in west virginia and if you want to go to our website at foxnews.com we have a tab set up there how you can help and click on that on our home page. >> rick, before we let you go. clarify something, at the top you said 434 people in that area still missing? that's right? a much larger number than we initially heard. >> lets me tell you there's a big discrepancy in the number. alabama say that 8 are missing in the state and the mayor of tuscaloosa saying 434 are missing here and a
7:07 am
discrepancy, and they've whittled down the list from duplicates and the mayor will be on the snow sometimes in the next couple of hours and talk to him. yeah, 434 missing still here in tuscaloosa. >> unbelievable. >> we are he' wishing for very, very best and hoping for a miracle. >> great job. >> now to the headlines, the taliban following through on plan for a spring offensive, militants killing six people in separate attacks in afghanistan, including a district council member and two policemen and there are reports after homicide bombing. the united nations is calling for all sides to avoid civilian casualties. a prison escapee opens fire on a massachusetts state police officer and trooper and they survive thanks to the bullet prove vests. officer popped open the trunk of the car and found him inside and the escaped inmate opened fire and they returned fire.
7:08 am
he he's suspected of killing a man in a barbershop after escaping prison. today is may day and many are demanding better worker pay and rights. and you're looking at indonesia. may day protests are expected to take place from the philippines to germany. well, nasa expected to decide today whether tomorrow's space shuttle launch will happen tomorrow after a problem with the heaters. gabrielle giffords is there to see her husband launch into space, but if it is delayed much further, she may need to leave for rehabilitation in houston. and nasa scrubbing it on frey. >> thanks, heather. let's turn our attention to what happened on friday night in new hampshire, a lot of republicans were there starting to lay the groundwork for 2012 and trying to light a
7:09 am
fire under 600 conservatives who showed up at this event to listen to some of these 2012 hopefuls. did they light a fire? you be the judge. >> america's place is not to follow china or to be second place or to have the government suffocate and strangle the american spirit. america's place is to lead the world in everything. >> it's broken my heart to watch this president, who has no experience in the private sector. never worked in a business, in a job that you're working at. has no experience in leadership and took the reins at the time the economy was going down and as a result, he says he inherited the down turn, yeah, that's right, but he made it worse and he made it deeper and longer. >> we have understood that liberty hangs in the balance and once again, it's new hampshire that has its values literally grounded on granite,
7:10 am
on the bed rock of the foundation of what we know to be true. >> so you've got romney pawlenty, bachman, others there sounds like the names in the 2012 field. but we don't know the debate on fox news on thursday, who then tim pawlenty told us yesterday he's in and like to see rick santorum headed in that direction and herman king, but we need more to commit to the debate and field and clear that the republicans want a bigger field. >> a lot of folks complaining who is in it so far and saying, just aren't good enough. can't get excited about the candidates and it's a pretty broad field. >> the g.o.p. chairman up there jack kimbell say people want a fire in their belly right now and five people spoke at the dinner on friday night and people were polite and the audience were polite, but most of the republicans who were there, they say we want excitement here, we're not experiencing that. >> and many we are he' hearing
7:11 am
about, is indiana governor mitch daniels. a move to recruit him into the world and expect today sign a bill to take away funding for planned parenthood. the legislative session is done in indiana and made major education reforms based on charter schools and so it looks likes he's leaning towards getting in and he we really don't know. >> the especially now that haley barbour is out. >> and john huntsville the former governor of utah, ambassador for the obama administration to china look for his name to pop in the field for week to ten days. >> there are a whole lot of conservatives who aren't so excite abouted him. >> you can understand why. >> they say that the guy is switching. >> and onto the white house correspondent's dinner, there was a highlight reel this deep from last night. >> a lot of funny stuff going on there. >> and here is just one much them. president obama taking on donald trump who was there. and he may have given one of the best correspondent's
7:12 am
dinner speeches in years. >> and say what you will about mr. trump, he certainly would bring some change to the white house. see what we've got up there. (laughter) >> there he goes and that's just one of the many-- >> that was tame. very tame. >> he conspired, he talked about donald trump had to make some tough decisions as president and as president, he'd of course have to deal with lil john and meatloaf. >> and decided to fire gary busey. >> and took aim at himself and prompter, or lack there of skills and made fun of joe biden, even taking a bit of a humorous shot at his own wife. >> of course, there's someone who i can always count on for support, my wonderful wife, michelle. [applause] we made a terrific
7:13 am
team at the easter egg roll this week. i'd live out bags of candy to the kids and she snatched them back out of their little hands. (laughter) >> snatched them. >> you know, i think one of the funiest parts was the jokes about what would happen if donald trump were president, president of the united states. turn the front lawn into a golf course and have all kinds of people partying in the pool. >> it was great and much more in the next couple of hours. up next, the g.o.p. considering raising the debt ceiling two months at a time, but if the liberal lawmakers block the plan can a deal be made we'll debate that next. >> and mariah carey and nick cannon welcoming their twins

>> welcome back. debt inching closer to its ceiling and congress back in session tomorrow and need to decide whether or not to raise the debt ceiling. a new fox news poll though 43% of americans say rise the debt limit only if spending cuts are involved. audrey jones from the herridge foundation and bureau chief as well. good morning to both of you, ladies. >> good morning. >> and let me start with you, the new plan has been floated by the president for americans for tax reform to raise the debt ceiling every couple of months and tried to spending cuts, does it have any traction in the republican party though? >> yes, it does, and first of all, i'd like to say as important as the debt ceiling debate is, the greater issue was our massive entitlement and spending problem and we're 14.2 trillion dollars in debt right now. a little bit over actually and
7:18 am
borrowing 40 cents on every dollar and this is symptomatic of the bigger issue. and greater, either one is viable. >> ellen, on the other side you've got a few senate democrats, namely kent con rd who is suggesting that you do tie this thing to spending cuts, raising the debt ceiling and would it have any prayer, raising it two months at a time or do they think they'll still get a clean vote? >> well, i don't know whether they're going to get a clean vote or not. my guest at the dinner last night was economist alan blinder who used to be the clinton administration and the idea of raising it two months at a time is really going to put america in jeopardy in terms of people's beliefs in our system and in terms of what we do as we quoted to me, alexander ma'am illton said you have to pay the bills first. although i believe in taking a look at the whole budget, two months at a time puts america in jeopardy. >> and tim geithner suspected
7:19 am
maybe raising 2 trillion dollars, but maybe hold off until july is the speculation. audrey, what do you think is likely the bill crafted out of the senate. what do you think comes out of that. >> i can't see the future, i'm not sure which direction they're going. two options right now, one is doing it for a longer period of time. with the two month extensions you face the possibility of greater reforms to the debt. but also, you face the problem of people possibly losing their appetite for those reforms. >> the oracle of omaha last night made it clear that we have to raise this debt ceiling just to throw that in. but ellen, i have to ask you, you mentioned the white house correspondent's dinner and it sounded like the president did an awfully good job making fun of donald trump and himself and pretty much taking aim at the whole room. >> it was an amazing night and i have to tell you that this president was, he was one of the funiest i've ever seen him and i think that each
7:20 am
president maybe has one year that they're really good, but bill clinton had one and george bush had one, but he was really terrific last night. he was funny, very sort of self-efacing and he started out with his birth certificate thing showing something from the lion king. and it was really quite funny. >> yes, the lion king was said to be the president's official birth video and "saturday night live's" seth meyers got a standing ovation as well. >> coming up, are you too nice? could be putting you at a major disadvantage at life and at work. not a problem for me. up next, the author who says forget nice and get what you want. my cream is what makes stouffer's fettuccini alfredo so delicious.

>> well, welcome back, we know there's the old saying that nice guys finish last and according to a new book, nice girls finish last, too. our next guest says, stop it, women should add a little sass to get ahead. the co-author of "nice girls just don't get it." talk to us about the common mistakes that women make? >> i think that women today are somewhat overextended and nice girls who are particularly type of woman, not all women, sometimes get in their own way by listening to expectations that others have of them rather than listening to their own hearts and minds about how to live their own lives. >> exactly. what's wrong with being nice? we are he' always told you get more flies with honey than vinegar. >> i think that's true. one mistake they make is that a nice girl can't be nice. we're not saying that women
7:25 am
should not be pleasant, polite. what we're saying though that in addition to being nice to other people, you have to be nice to yourself. >> okay. so try to do it both. you also say not knowing what you want can be a problem. you have to know. not knowing when to walk away with something and communicating indirectly. what does that mean? >> well, communicating indirectly is not being clear about what is exactly that you're saying. a lot of times nice girls, afraid to be assertive muddy their language with lot of apologies and things like that. the way you get around that is to speak in he had headlines with tag lines. so say what air going to say and then say it and then finally, invite people who express their opinion. >> if you're too abrupt with something then you're defined as a witch. >> absolutely. >> how do you do it nicely? >> part of this is is tone and part is pacing and part is
7:26 am
being sure that your message is clear, being helpful to other people and at the same time not apologizing for stating how you feel. >> practice the at first, would you advise that. >> absolutely. it's helpful for people when they're anticipating a difficult conversation to step back and enlist somebody to say, you know, i'm going to have this conversation with my husband or boss and i really want to make sure i get it right and would you go through it with it. >> you said avoid the v-8 moment. >> the moment when you walk away from a conversation and say to yourself, i could have had a v-8. why-- >> i should have said that. >> happens to me all the time. >> exactly. part of that is preparing for the pushback you might receive in a conversation, thinking what is it that heather might say to me and how would i respond. >> quickly, how do you win a conversation with your mother-in-law. >> carefulfully. >> i think part testify is

tuscaloosa, alabama. leaving behind a trail of destruction for miles and at least 250 people in that stone alone were killed. >> and chief meteorologist, rick reichmuth, joins us, you've been there for days and days and you've seen the devastation firsthand. what are you noticing this morning? how are things going? >> the mood has changed certainly from day-to-day and i noticed yesterday evening, the best thing i can say about the mood, people aren't out here yet, but a lot bit of the shock wearing off and people going in to doing some of the work and you can see that evidenced here and the tornado cut a path that came straight across what is a little bit after lake here and these are what everybody says really nice homes on the lake that have been completely destroyed, but you will he' notice around here yesterday, people spent the day getting what they could out of their homes, and salvaging it and hanging it up to dry. and from this home right there. this is what people were able to pull out. not a lot for them to salvage,
7:33 am
but they're doing what they can. and they're cutting down the trees and you see, there are so many trees here that are down and in this case, all of these trees just topped off and the bark ripped of and they've got to chop all of this up and get it out of of the way so they can begin the digging out and that's going on and people getting together. a lot of people doing a lot to help their neighbors. we've talked to a normal of people and talked to a number yesterday. here is what they had to say. >> in this house, two college girls trappedment and another lady trapped. and by the time i got to her, college kids on the end of street. they came up and four of us, we dug her out. and by that time we heard a couple over here hollering, and went back and got more stuff and gas and we're going to come back and down in the lake district and see-- >> just started walking down the street helping whoever we can get to. >> yeah, and that's really what's going on. people going and helping each other, i can't tell you how
7:34 am
much we've seen that, especially escalate in days and now the supplies, food, and water and all the assistance at least from people helping their neighbors and that's happening right now. i want to tell you, we've got some more weather going on that's going to scare a lot of people, especially throughout areas of texas and arkansas. take a look at the radar picture, we've got very significant moisture going there. if we weren't talking tornados we'd talk about significant flooding across arkansas and mississippi and unfortunately, more rain and a tornado threat once again today. back to you. >> rick is live from tuscaloosa. in an hour the mayor from birmingham will be on "fox & friends" to give his assessment. >> if you want to help people by the disaster, you've been asking. go to foxnews.com, click on the tab how to help on the left side of the whom page and gives you all the information. and how to understand the
7:35 am
potential impact of the violent storms, there are wind tunnel facilities actually across the country that simulate some of the effects. i paid a visit to one this past week down in texas. >> putting into perspective the massive amount of pressure applied by the violent tornado force winds that killed more than 30 people in southern states is impossible. but here in college station, texas, they do their best. the. >> we can learn about what the winds will do, what the strength of the wind, how that will affect different buildings, different facilities. how it will affect people. >> the r and w low speed wind tunnel recreates the powerful winds, with one notable exception. >> na 200 miles an hour wind isn't just air pressure, it's debris and 2 # by 4's and pieces ever cars or entire cars through the air picked up by the wind. >> the wind is created by a 13
7:36 am
foot diameter b-29 propeller powered by a 1,000 horsepower motor which circulates air through the tunnel. by putting the propeller behind you and flow around before it gets back to the test section we can smooth it doub and take the turbulence out. >> it starts, 10 miles an hour and then gradually builds. eventually reaching upward of 100 miles per hour. if it weren't for an iron support pole and straps i would have been airborne the force taking with them my head phones and with them my breath and hearing. >> 100, 100 miles per hour. 100. however, the devastating storms that struck the south had winds twice what i experienced, 200 plus miles per hour, more than a mile
7:37 am
wide on the ground for several miles at a time. nothing would prepare a person, a house, or community for the sheer havoc and decimation certainly to follow these angry and unpredictable forces of nature. >> the photos from these tornados essentially show the ones that took a direct hit. even wl-built house that is were secure to their foundation were completely taken away. you don't want to be out in the direct path. it's a situation you don't want to find yourself in. >> and for the most part, that situation you don't want to be in is 100 mile an hour winds in your face, it was interesting. >> looking at you only 100 miles, you couldn't speak and your hair which normally it doesn't move at all and was completely back. >> still hasn't recovered. >> and 200 and above what we're looking for the tornados and can't imagine. the biggest difference of course, 200 miles per hour and add a tree, a house, a car the
7:38 am
debris whipping through, i can't imagine the destruction and power of the tornado. >> makes it so deadly. >> thanks, dave. >> now to the rest of your headlines this morning, libya says that n.a.t.o. air strikes killed gaddafi's you go you youngest son and three grandchildren. live for us this morning, domin dominic, in benghazi. >> good morning, heather, no independent confirmation that saif has actually been killed. taken to the site last night and saw the site of the destruction and apparently blood at the scene and no indication it was a member of gaddafi's family that was actually killed. and the degree of skepticism and drought. the heartland, and disbelief and actually down right, probably wasn't true, another
7:39 am
propaganda tactic. people saying show us the body and let us see that he's dead. and saif, the youngest son hasn't been seen in public since the uprising began and he was a student and brought back on an undisclosed date as things started to get bad and hasn't been seen in public and people aren't sure he actually exists, some people say. so, people here are just seeing if there's evidence coming out of the government and at the same time, naught it could be a delaying tactic. >> and arrest ins the street in columbus, ohio after a gunman opened fire in front of this house, wanted for a quadruple homicide, returned fire and killing randall roberts and three officers are said to be in stable condition this morning. april now the deadliest month for u.s. military forces in iraq, since november of 2009. the hit 11 on friday and urge
7:40 am
iraqi heeders to decide whether or not they want some american troops to stay beyond the year end deadline. surveillance cameras catch two suspects breaking into a marijuana dispensary in california and tossed a molotov cocktail through the front door and a reward is offered for information leading to arrest. a novel idea this morning, instead, i know a lot of people are graduating and thinking where they're going to college and many people are going to apply to harvard and spend on average, $200,000, and instead of going to harvard, you can become a prison guard and get more bang for your buck than a degree from the college and university of harvard. >> check out the comparison. you can make $200,000 a year when you are a prison guard.
7:41 am
not the average base salary, add up the benefits and overtime and bonus you get every year. >> look at that. >> a pretty sweet gig. >> seven weeks of vacation, how would you like that. >> seven weeks, five are paid. if you dent use them all. cash them in at the end of your career, some for $100,000. >> that's like a maternity leave, really, how about that. >> it's remarkable. if you consider i had a friend who was a prison guard and, we talked about overtime pay, just, some of the overtime pay they'd get on average. they received tum and a half whenever they work more than 40 hours a week and 80 officers last year, cashed in over $100,000 retirement account and california looks to be like the gold rush because they were on the move there to build more prisons and looks like governor brown put the halt on one of them and they keep building prisons. and the most shocking of all the benefits is the retirement situation, if you're a prison guard you can retire as early as age 55 and qualify for 85%
7:42 am
of your final year salary for the rest of your life. that's a sweet gig, almost ceo-like, but not exactly a cushy job, and it's dangerous, not as if you're an attorney. >> how many jobs actually pay you to go to training for that job. these guys get trained and paid to go to school. >> on monday-- >> and get paid to go to harvard or anywhere else, you pay a lot of money. >> and let me mention this, tomorrow is actually bring your child to workday and there are a lot of prison guards who are going to be bring children to work, that will scare you straight. >> can you imagine that. >> and prison guards are bringing them into prison. >> okay. >> friends@foxnews.com and ff weekend. and giving everyone trophies and now kids could be getting less homework, too, are we failing to prepare our children for the world. >> that's the question. is it too much pressure on them? we'll talk about that.

7:47 am
no word yet on the twins names. >> pain at the pump. americans across the country seeing regard high gas prices and national average 3.93. and many people are struggling to afford the price hikes and big oil companies are raking in the profits right now. exxon-mobile just released quarterly earnings, they're up 69%. but is this good enough reason to get rid of the 4 billion dollars in oil subsidies? peter morici, a professor at university of maryland can settle this. nice to see youments nice to be with you. >> help us wade through the murky mess, 4 billion dollars in subsidies ooevery year and the president calling to get rid of them and even congressman ryan saying looking to get rid of them. what's the solution. >> if you invest in an oil well, as it depletes they get a depletion allowance. and the president is scapegoating oil companies, i don't hear him lambasting wall
7:48 am
street for the special tax that the hedge fund gets and the president are looking for a way to say that they're responsible for the high prices. >> and twittering should we suspend all tax expend tushes, at a time when everyone is having to tighten their belts and oil companies with the incredible profits and throw them up on the screen. exxon-mobile. 69%. occidental 46%, conoco phillips, 43%, this is year to year increase in profits and yet, taxpayers are putting up 4 billion dollars in subsidies, it seems unseemly. >> well, i don't know if it is a subsidy, after all, as the oil depletes they get to depreciate it much as you would a piece of capital equipment in a factory. general electric paid no taxes last year and we don't see the
7:49 am
president going after them with a tomahawk. as for why the prices are up. it's risky and the price of oil is up and they make big profits. last year he when the price was oil was down, we didn't see the president saying, you know, at that oil companies were being underrewarded and also when you drill for oil, you don't to whether you're going to get the stuff in the first place, so, i think that we should expect when prices are high, oil wells will do well and also we want more oil made or produced in the united states. >> yeah, that's the bottom line, the president wants to have alternative forms of energy and take the 4 billion dollars in subsidies and hand it there and republicans say maybe we need more off shore drilling as a response. peter, always nice to see you here on "fox & friends." >> nice to see you. >> he's supposed to protect the american way, but superman is renouncing his u.s. citizenship. is our country losing american pride or a business gimmick. jim craig from the u.s. hockey team, here to talk about our patriotism problem next.

7:54 am
to believe because you know, when i think about my teammates and i, and how lucky and how honored we were to represent our country, that like the name in the front of the jersey was so important to us, because, it meant, you know, the ability to dream, to be able to create things that nobody else thought was possible and i think, maybe, people are just taking for granted today how lucky we are, and forgetting the men and women that are servicing our country and keeping us free. so, i just think back and what makes me feel good and what i try it tell our kids is that, when you hear that chant, usa, usa, it just, it came from lake placid, it came from the bottom of people's hearts and it was a spirit that we need to get back. >> and you say that so many of us have lost a sense of a shared goal, and a shared responsibility. and how do you think we can get that back? >> i think it comes at home. and i think it comes from even our leaders, making people understand how lucky we are
7:55 am
and how fortunate we are to live where we are. and you know, back in the day when my mom and dad were here, it was, you know, you came to america because you had a dream. you had a, you thought it was a place that could provide you something that nobody else could have achieved. and it still does and i think we should be really happy that we're part of this process and just remind people. >> yeah, you pointed out the crowd was chanting usa. weren't chanting, individual names. and you had some suggestions how to apply the lessons to business. one in particular stood out to he me and that's managed through ego and conflict, both can be very good things. typically they're bad things or think of them as bad things in a business sense. how can you turn them into good things? >> well, i think what happens, if you can develop a shared dream and then you can let people, you know, look at
7:56 am
athletes, you have to have an ego to think you're that good to be able to perform on such a big stage and there's always conflict. so what i believe is that ego and conflict can be really fuel if you have a shared dream. and then, what it does, it becomes a powerful way of holding people accountable and all great teams, whether it's in business or it's your marriage or your life in sports, they have this locker room atmosphere where this ego and conflict has to be managed. >> many more strategies in the book and it's gold medal strategies, the goalie from the 1980 usa gold medal winning hauck team. always a pleasure, sir. >> thank you so much. >> in the crucial state of new hampshire, some are saying the field of candidates needs to expand. details next at the top of the hour. >> and we're banning milk and banning trophies. are we preparing our kids for

8:08 am
hampshire this weekend and taking aim at the president. >> america's place is not to follow china or to be second place or to have the government suffocate and strangle the american spirit. america's place is to lead the world in everything. >> it's broken my heart to watch this president, who has no experience in the private sector, never worked in a business, at a job that you're working in. has no experience in leadership and took the reins of the country at the time the economy was going down and as a result he says, well, he just inherited the down turn, yeah, that's right he made it worse and deeper and longer. >> and we have understood that liberty hangs in the balance. and once again, it's new hampshire that has its values literally grounded on granite, on the bed rock of the foundation of what we know to be true. >> republican party leaders though, there in new hampshire
8:09 am
and a lot of republicans in that state. there's not a fire lit under them with the crop of candidates they've seen come through and some party leaders on the record, says the race needs more responsible adults who can actually do the job and sort after call for a wider g.o.p. field, much daniels has a recruit and the list goes on. governor chris christie of new jersey, governor rick perry. >> even though chris christie says no way, others are not trdz. >> others say they're not doing it. >> and he's on the list and governor rick perry of texas and sarah palin who are not among those currently in the field though republican leaders and republicans in new hampshire want them involved. >> chris wallace is coming up with a preview of the show and talking to him about all of this. >> john huntsman may be in and mitch daniels leaning that direction. another guy. many, many people want to get in the field is our colleague mike huckabee was at n.r.a. event in pittsburgh and again, sounded like, he, too, might

be leaning towards getting into the 2012 race and listens to what he said at that very much pleased the crowd this in pa. >> barack obama stood in san francisco and he made the infamous comment in which he said about folks like us, that they get bitter and they cling to their guns and religion. well, i want you to know that i stand here tonight as a gun klinger and as a god klinger unapo unapologizely. >> was not permitted to own a gun, but was required to own a gun and ammunition and a knapsack. i'm pray today the president might only let us hold a knapsack. >> and some aides say they expect an announcement in august perhaps. >> and the crowd sure liked hearing from him. >> newt gingrich was there,

(laughter) >> for example, you know, seriously, recently in an episode of celebrity apprentice at the steakhouse the men's cooking team did not impress the judges from omaha steaks. and there was a lot of blame to go around, but you, mr. trump, recognized that the real problem was a lack of leadership. and so ultimately you didn't blame lil john or meatloaf,
8:12 am
you fired gary busey. and these are the kind of decisions that will keep me up at night. >> donald trump will be on "fox & friends" tomorrow morning, i'm sure he he may have something to say about all the jokes. >> good one on the part of the president, wasn't it. >> and seth meyer, the president did a great job hosting last night or seth meyers hosted from "saturday night live" and took a jab at the debt ceiling and was rather funny. >> your reelection campaign has begun and i bet it's hard getting campaign mode again and you know who is really dreading it will im. he's rhyming words that rhyme with debt ceiling. >> and he also made the point that the only person that could beat president obama in 2012 is president obama from 2008. >> okay. >> like that version of himself could only beat him in 2012. a very funny night and highlights coming up.

(laughter) >> oh, yes, the commander-in-chief. now the comedian in chief and did a pretty good job and
8:17 am
donald trump, probably enjoyed the show. and chris wallace was there the anchor of fox news sunday. what did you think of the comedian in chief. well, he was funny and in the comments about the birther issue and what he said, for instance, to michelle bachmann, it was kind of normal. i would say where it went a little off the tracks and got a little rough, even mean, was on donald trump. and you could see trump slightly amused. one of the things where you're the only thing worse than being mentioned, was not being mentioned. as the president went on and on and seth meyers from "saturday night live," the professional comedian there went on and it got rough and almost like a statement from washington, hey, big boy, you know, you may be a big deal in new york, but this is political hardball here. >> oh. >> and frat boy hazing a little bit there. >> we heard the laughs though, chris, it seemed like it was
8:18 am
building and even before he got to the jokes, people were laughing about him being a decisive leader. >> it was a left leaning room. but true, there were a lot of republicans there, too, and-- >> i don't think this was political. i mean, in the sense of republican versus democrat. it was personal against donald trump. >> seth meyers had a line. donald trump appears regularly on fox which is kind of ironic because it looks like he is he' got a fox on his head and he said to the people at the table, if-- don't finish your food don't worry about it, the fox on donald's head will eat the rest of your meal. >>s oh, boy. >> as the evening went on, you could tell that trump went from amused to kind of steamy. >> perhaps he has to develop a little thicker skin if he's going to take this thing too seriously. let's talk about new hampshire and talk about this morning,
8:19 am
michelle bachmann and tim pawlenty and others, where do they see things going from here? >> it's interesting he they made the kind of normal comments you would expect in going after the president and obviously, on gas prices, on the deficit and the reach of government, but there continues to be this feeling that there's, that the republicans feel as it now stands not as exciting the republican rank and file and looking around, is there anybody else? and continuing talk now about mitch daniels, the governor of indiana possibly getting in and a lot of people still hold out hope sometime this summer or fall, chris christie, the governor of new jersey or paul ryan himself the house budget chief will get in and mike huckabee, i gather did a very good job at the national rifle association meeting and really turned on the crowd there. but that the field of likely contenders as it stands now, doesn't really turn on this field and looking for somebody
8:20 am
else. >> should be an interesting next seven to ten days. of course the debate you'll be a part of that coverage, let's see who gets in that first. we know that tim pawlenty will be there. and tim conradt may be the thorn in the president's side and lindsey graham maybe talking about bullying and michelle bachmann on friday night. an interesting show. >> we want to talk to that canadian, michelle bachmann. >> ask to see the certificate. chris wallace, always great to see you. >> thanks, guys. >> hollywood royalty, and bruce and demi moore's daughter busted. >> and some kids need a lighter load. will it make our children hazy and prepared for the future? we debate next. losing weight clicked for me when i had everything

>> welcome back to "fox & friends." a couple of quick headlines for you, two people injured after a helicopter crashes near the, reportedly there for the reality show, tampa's p.d. the f.a.a. is investigating. tmz reporting that bruce willis and demi moore's 17-year-old daughter tallulah was busted for alcohol possession and demi reportedly showed up to take her home from that event. >> are your kids spending two or three hours a night on homework. they say they've gotten out and want to lighten the load. children in the pleasantton california school district, and says there should be less homework on the other side. the president of belmont university, dr. bob fisher, thank you both for being here, we appreciate it.
8:25 am
michael, let he me start with you. we're going to roll through some graphics that show parents at home what the proposal is there. in california, but first, will the me ask you, are we preparing our kids for the future? the united states is falling in terms of worldwide test scores. is this the right idea to lighten the load? >> i don't know if it's the right idea to lighten the load or strengthen the load. i think what they're doing is to choose what is the appropriate use of homework. i don't think it's a question of quantity when it comes to homework, it's the question of quality of homework, giving busy work is not providing any value whereas homework assignments that supplement what's going on in the classroom are appropriate. how much time it takes to do those excitements is obviously, going to vary from student to student, but it's going to be something that has to be taken into considerationen i think our school board through the survey they did and the follow-up they're doing in the forms and meeting with the students and the parents is exactly what needs to get done in order to straighten out the quality of the homework that's
8:26 am
provided. >> at the highest level the proposal from 9th through 12th graders, 20 minutes per class. now, dr. fisher, here is the question i have. are kids getting too much homework? 55% said way too much, but the teachers completely disagree. where is the disconnect? >> well, i'm coming on and talking to you at great risk, hoping my six grandsons are still asleep. i believe our kids overall in our nation, probably need more homework ap they need, i can agree, no busy work, give them serious problems to solve, but the key issue for me in this debate as i've read about it and listened. this is not an issue for a school board. this is an issue for individual teachers to decide and for principals to decide should a teacher bring too much pressure to bear on a class. >> michael, when i talk about the disconnect. 55% say too much homework and
8:27 am
only 3% of the teachers agreed, so why is there this massive gap between what is happening and what the teachers think is happening? >> well, also, amongst the teachers, although only 3% of them believe that there's too much homework, only 3% believe too much homework you've got 45% of the teachers saying that the parents are helping the kids with their homework. so, if i'm the teachers and i'm providing homework that i believe the student can do individually, why do i also believe they're getting the parents to help with that homework? i think the problem and where we disagree, it's a community problem, you know, in a city of about 70,000 people, like it is, and two high schoolses three middle schools, it's an opportunity for everybody to figure out what's going on. i agree several individual teachers who do not provide enough homework in the district. as well as many who provide too much homework.
8:28 am
my older son when he went from an 8th grader to being a 9th grader, literally left a homework hell. my 6th grader, now in 7th grade, is living it now. what i found so wrong with the survey, they did not isolate the middle school experience. in my profession, the middle school experience where the distribution is erratic from teacher to teacher and class to class and busy work comes into play. >> and my son has not experienced that. >> michael get you in here quickly. it's amazing to kids doing north of 2 1/2, 3 hours of homework per night and michael says it's a community problem. dr. fisher, is it? >> again, no, i think that's a fundamental disagreement the here. i believe teachers are professionals, i believe that teachers can be trusted with our kids and i think if they can't be, in any district, i think that is an issue that the community should be much more careful in hiring teachers, develop those teachers, but i kind of doubt
8:29 am

8:47 am
their prospective jobs, but he, he enjoyed it. i mean, he's been in the military almost 17 years and had trained for this. this is what he wanted to do. he's been wanting to go and help and be there, because he felt it was his obligation to serve. and lately. they've been making strides and breaking through and getting their government and their military where they need to be in order for them to be self-sustained. >> how did he feel about working so closely with members of the military in afghanistan. some folks we talk to are nervous about that because the kinds of attacks have happened before. >> oh, absolutely. i think he knew what could happen. i know for sure, my father was always telling him that be afraid of those right there around you, but i think that because of the positive things he was doing, one-on-one with people and we were personally helping some of these intr

interpreters and military people, he didn't feel that, one they could depend on so they wouldn't see him as an enemy or a threat to them. >> what would you like us to know about your husband? >> oh, there's so much to tell, but my husband. he's just an amazing husband. been married for 14 years and just last month, we turned 14 years, we met when we were both military, just airmen, couple stripes, he he came into the air force and worked hard to get his degree to become commissioned and be there for his airmen and his country and he's a fabulous, father. sad to know that his son made national junior honor society the night before and he didn't get to congratulate him and see that picture from that evening because he was always there. we were just always together doing family things and nobody ever saw us apart. and we were just... it's

>> welcome back to "fox & friends," well, superman, larger than life american icon and he's making a shocking announcement, saying, quote, from the comic book, i'm renouncing my u.s. citizenship and tired of having my actions construed as instruments of u.s. policy. truth, justice and the american way, it's not enough. the editor of american alliance, broke this story and nice to see you this morning, laura. >> great to be here, clayton. >> how did you learn about the fact that d.c. was going to make the change to this iconic american character? >> well, i got a review copy of the issue, which is action comics, 900 and i noticed this going on in the story towards the end of the issue and of course realized that it was going to have enormous
8:54 am
implications for our character that's so fundamentally associated with america. >> yeah, absolutely. and here is a quote from d.c. comics in response to all of this. superman announces an intention to put a global focus on his never ending battle and his roots and farm boy from smallville. i'm curious when you received the review copy from d.c. comics, any mention, publicity notes about superman renouncing u.s. citizenship. or here is the issue, read it and you found this out on your own? >> right, right. there was no particular fanfare about it, but when i saw that panel in particular that had the quote that you'd mentioned i knew that it was kind of going to be a bigger deal and i think there has been concern from a lot of people that this means that he's renouncing his love of america or renouncing his belief in american values, but i think that the context of why he's doing it is a little bit different. the reason he decides -- the reason he decides to renounce
8:55 am
his american citizenship, it's not coming from a place of negativity or anger towards the united states. it happens when he travels to iran and a real life analog of the middle east and people fighting for freedom and trying to overthrow a repressive regime and because he does it it causes a huge international incident for the united states because he's such an american icon his actions are interpreted as the will of the u.s. and act of war so that makes him realize he needs to take a step back politically. >> there's two things at work here, one of which of course the fact it's a fictional character. one side of it. and the other side, governor huckabee talking about yesterday, after all the sense that people want to hide their nationalism when they're involved in the sort of foreign affairs that we need to hide our americanism. two different things at play here, laura. do you see it that way? >> to a certain degree and also reflection of the fact that modern comics today have

many times i have written the words, total destruction over the last couple of days it is innumerable. the mayor of the city everybody describes as total destruction. how have things changed from yesterday when we talked to you, to today, we're in a different stage of this. >> we're in search and recovery and have a large number of those in accounted for and our primary focus today is trying to determine where they are so everyone we know of can be accounted for before we get into the full recovery phase. >> rick: you said search and recovery. do you mean search and recovery or rescue. >> we hope rescue but we are 96 hours into the event and we'll have hospitals doing imaging and, hopefully we'll pick up body heat to assist us and i'm scared the loss of life will be more than any of us can bear. >> rick: the numbers vary wildly, 8 in the state and you say 434. and, tuscaloosa, this is a big discrepancy and, some makes sense, however, you guys lost

9:06 am
jokes, by the president. listen: >> president barack obama: i know that he's taken flak lately. but, no one is happier, no one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than the donald. and that is because he can finally get back to focusing on issues that matter, like did we fake the moon landing? what really happened in roswell? and, where are biggie and tupac?

9:07 am
and some people were saying that donald trump looked like the only person in the room, who was not having a fun time and joins us right now on the phone, to respond to that. good morning, donald. >> good morning. >> clayton: were you upset about those remarks or were you having a good time? it was hard to tell. >> well, i really understood what i was getting into and i didn't know i would be virtually this sole focus and i guess when you lead in the polls that happens, and i was having a good time listening and i don't think the american people are having a good time, paying $5 gasoline and clothing prices doubling and all the other problems they've got and look at what is happening with food, so i thought to myself as they were doing this, that, you know, the american people are really suffering and we're all having a good time and it is inappropriate in certain respects but i thought the delivery was good and seth meijer's, his delivery was not good. he's a stutterer and he was really having a hard time. >> you have been spending more time around these politician and, sort of washington circles
9:08 am
and, what do you take away from it all? >> well, it is interesting, you go to a certain level and you raise to a certain level, let's say in this case in the polls and boy, does the world come after you, especially if you happen to be conservative and, that was a largely liberal room, not entirely, but, it is a press room, and, you know, i'm surprised to see it, you have to understand, what i do and what i will do, best, is the economy. i mean, i'll get china to change its ways, and, we have all the cards people don't understand, and, our politicians don't understand it but we have all the cards, they are making our products, making a fortune and rebuilding china on our backs and i will get opec to reduce prices, i will guarantee that they will seriously reduce prices, we have nobody that even talks to them, so, i really knew what i was getting into last night and i had no idea it would be to that extent, joke after joke after joke and it was almost like, there is anyone else who can talk about it and
9:09 am
so in that way, i was honored but the economy is going through such a traumatic period, i was thinking to myself, it just seems inappropriate. >> dave: it did seem like a lot of folks, chris wallace, of fox news sunday said he thought it was a few too many and perhaps a little mean and interesting reports coming out this morning, that republicans want a wider field for the 2012 race. we know you won't announce until "the apprentice" show has come to an end and you'll make an aofficial announcement. do you feel there is a lack of excitement, about the field who officially declared they'll run for president and do they need a wider field. >> there certainly isn't a lot of -- a lack of excitement as you call it with respect to my candidacy. i mean, every time i go out, there are hundreds of press and people by the hundreds and thousands and i make speeches and tremendous crowds show up and i can't speak for the other candidates, but i tell you, i landed in new hampshire last week and it was unbelievable,

the response, so, you know, i'm not a traditional candidate. i'm a business man and, a lot of politician really don't want to see an outsider come in but it is time for an outsider to come in, to stop the onslaught of the country, the people who are destroying the country. >> clayton: you threw this on twitter, and the criticism about the birther thing and you said you were concerned about gas prices and the economy and made the birth certificate -- you brought quite a bit of light to that and some say isn't it hypocritical to talk about the cost of gas prices when you were rallying around the birth certificate thing, weren't you expecting the jokes. >> i did expect jokes, when i went there i didn't think it would be an evening of a nice meal but the fact is, i'm proud of what i did with respect to the birth certificate. i got obama to give his birth certificate, which the clintons and the republicans in the last
9:11 am
campaign couldn't do, nobody could do it and i only asked why did it take so long and why did he wait three years? but i was the only one able to get him to produce it and i'm happy. and, the fact is that is not at all -- and has not been by main subject, my main subject is jobs and the economy, and, stopping all of these countries, that we deal with, from just absolutely ripping us to shouredshreds. >> i want to ask you, you gave a speech in las vegas and you said the f-word, three, possibly more times and it could be a turn off to folks out there. why use that kind of language. >> it was a speech in las vegas in front of a rough group of folks -- a great group of folks and i got standing ovations, probably every 3-4 minutes and it was, really well received. and some people don't like it. you know, the fact is, it is a word of emphasis, with that group, probably i won't do it anymore, to be honest with you,
9:12 am
but -- >> you learned your lesson. >> when people see the real negotiation, real negotiation that will go on with china and will go on with opec and others, that is very mild compared to what happens in a real room. the problem is, we don't have a real room because we have nobody that knows how to negotiate. >> dave: donald trump, thanks for joining us, what happens in vegas, certainly does not stay there. appreciate you being on the program. >> have a good time, thank you very much. >> clayton: florida, turns out billions of dollars for a high speed rail, and amtrak wants a piece of that. will it be money down the drain? what florida's governor says, sneaks the son and three grandchildren of muammar qaddafi were killed in a nato airstrike. what does it mean for rebels who are fighting for freedom? we'll go live to libya, next, coming up. didn't taste so vegetably? well, v8 v-fusion juice gives you a full serving of vegetables, plus a full serving of fruit.

9:17 am
unemployment went from 12% in december to 11.1 and we still have a million people out of work and i'll reduce the cost, and size of government and reduce taxes. >> clayton: you have taken heat not only from democrats but, also, republicans who say it seems likes you are taking steps to fix your image and you backed off some of the sharp cuts in state funding for developmental developmentally disabled as well as the prescription monitoring database and what do you say about that? an attempt to help your image. >> you know what happened on the developmentally disabled, we care about the group, i walked in and that agency is $174 million overbudget and my choice was to let them run out of money and, have no services or reduce provider costs until we got the house and the senate to fund it. and took them three weeks and they finally did and now we can do that but we have to figure out how to spend the money and take care of more poem and we have a significant pill mill

you on the record on amtrak, turning down the money for the railroad from orlando to tampa and, amtrak stepping forward, a company that has not made a profit in nearly 40 years and last year, 2010, looking at the numbers, $1.3 billion they lost and want some of the money and what do you say to amtrak? >> well, i represent the taxpayers of florida and that project they wanted us to do, we would have been responsible, cost over runs and i'm running into a $3.8 billion budget deficit and will not raise taxes and will never raise taxes and it was going to be cost overreturns and the operating cost like amtrak, to lose money every year and if we had to shut it down have to give the money back to the federal government and we aren't doing projects like that and that is the typical project where the federal government gives us money with all the strings attached. >> clayton: governor rick scott joining us on "fox & friends" and thanks for your candor and sharing part of your sunday with us. thanks. >> thanks a lot. >> clayton: coming up, the president tapping general

>> welcome back to "fox & friends," a severe weather report now, volunteers doing their part, this morning, to help those hardest hit by the deadliest tornado outbreak in the u.s. since 1925. one of the cities that has seen wide, widespread destruction, tuscaloosa, alabama, and that is where chief meteorologist rick reichmuth is, and he joins us live and you said, everywhere you turn, devastation? >> rick: it is, and an interesting thing is, people are so concerned about their places, and they are concerned about their neighbors but are having a hard time getting information. two minutes ago a woman came up to us and our crew and said, does anybody know what happened to my neighbor across the street and he lived in this home, right here, which is reduced to nothing and he lives across the way in that house with the tarps and was not able to get over here until now and we talk with the gentleman yesterday and told her he is okay. but that is the kind of thing
9:31 am
people are figuring out and don't know what has happened yeed yet to their neighbors because they've been trying to dig out and that is the scene and will be going on for a while, so widespread and, difficult to get anywhere and communications, you have to remember phone lines are down and cell phone towers are down and what is there is extremely compromised and now overloaded and is difficult, four days out to get that kind of information and not many people are out here, remember, it is sunday morning and here in the south, it is such a big day for people here, especially, after an event like this, people gathering in churches and i think once church services are out people will be flooding into the neighborhoods to help again. >> clayton: and curious about the rating of the tornado, we've heard ef-5 and different numbers, for different tornadoes and was this, a 5, the biggest it could be? >> rick: we don't know. there were two e fechf-5s and te
9:32 am
done a preliminary test and said it is an ef-4 at least, and hopefully we'll have a rating by the end of today or tomorrow. guys? >> clayton: rick reichmuth, live for us in tuscaloosa, alabama. thank you. >> let's get to your headlines, this morning, a "fox news alert." out of cape canaveral, nasa cancelling tomorrow's shuttle endeavour launch again and scrubbed friday's launch after problems with some of the heaters on board the shuttle and a new launch date is not set and the shuttle set to be commanded by captain mark kelly, of course the husband of representative gabrielle giffords. who flew to florida for that launch. plenty of developments in libya, this morning. there are reports a british house in tripoli has been destroyed and there are reports of new fighting there, and happens the biggest news is, reports the youngest son of muammar qaddafi, had been killed in a nato airstrike, and for the latest, live to dominic
9:33 am
denatali, with us in benghazi. good morning, what can you tell us? >> reporter: good morning, to you. yes, the government spokesman saying on television last night the youngers son of colonel qaddafi was killed and no independent confirmation that he was killed, journalists in the city including my colleague, david lee miller, were taken to the scene, the aftermath and this is what they were shown. >> reporter: hours after, reporters were taken to the location of the home, and we could see damage everywhere, everywhere we looked there is debris and it is difficult to walk in the interior of the structure. and this was a wall, part of the ceiling has also collapsed. in the location and as we make our way back here which is not easy to do, you can see what looks like a living room, furniture lined along the walls and water and food on the table and it is possible people were in this very room at the time
9:34 am
the strike occurred. and, as reporters were taken here on the minds of many, overhead you can still hear nato aircraft in the skies, and, there is an additional worry that there may be unexploded ordnance at this location, posing yet an additional hazard. >> reporter: now, despite those scenes in benghazi the rebel heartland people met the report with a great degree of skepticism and people say, where is the proof? show us the bodies and they believe is more propaganda i qaddafi to drum up international support and put pressure on nato to stop the airstrike which would keep him in power. back to you. >> thank you so much, the developer for the ground zero mosque is having a tough time paying his bills and the new york daily news reporting sharif el-gamal is being sued by the mosque's landlord and he reportedly never paid a $56,000

9:44 am
is pure washington politics. >> dave: much is written about the blurring of the lines, if you will, between our military and our spies, our cia, is that a good thing, going forward. >> i think it is a bad thing, i mean, the pentagon can run these drones, as well as the cia, if not better. and can collect tactical intelligence, on the ground, better than the cia and what happened is, the pentagon outsourced the drones to the cia and i'd like to see the cia get back on the ground, learning the language, recruiting informants and the rest of that stuff, nuts and bolts of espionage. >> dave: senator jeff sessions wrote in the "washington post," this past week the president needs to stop weakening the capabilities of the cia and diminishing our intelligence gathering efforts. is that opinion shared by those in the cia? >> the cia, yeah, it is, the cia is broken and is broken after all of these years and needs to be reached and needs to be drawn
9:45 am
out of washington politics and can do the job but you cannot do it with congress in the middle of it, the president and washington politics. it is just, it wrecks the place like that. >> dave: i want to move to your book now, the company we keep, a husband and wife true life spy story. it is not often that you come across a book unlike anything you have ever read but it qualifies. and, here's why. you talk about a love story, when you met your wife, you thought that you could see her manning a 30-cal machine gun on the turret of a land rover, not exactly love at first sight by most people's standards, but it is a cautionary tale as well. what can most of us take from what you and your wife went through as spies? >> well, my wife was a shooter for the cia, and, we both spent a long time in there, we were both overseas, all those years, between the two of us, almost 30 years, and, we went away and came hope and things weren't the
9:46 am
same. we lost our families in a very larger sense, didn't recognize our country, and, it was a supplies we had to pay, you don't realize until, it is all over, and, we went onto make a new family and adopted a child in pakistan, a little christian girl, and, it all turned out well, but when you do go away to these wars and come back, don't expect things to be the same. >> dave: she says when she first met you in the 1990s in bosnia, described you as a little nutty. would she still describe you as that? >> you know, i have probably coopted her a bit. i used to... probably, yes. >> dave: probably, yes. all right, it is a fascinating book, the company we keep, a husband and wife true-life spy story, check it out, by bob baer and his wife, dayna, have a great weekend. coming up you have to see it to believe it. a family takes refuge in the truck and when one of the
