it's many in the republican pay and democrats in r states running for political cover. >> where's the an? >> thelan is to allow those things that had been proposed over many years toeform a health care system in america that certainly does need more help so that there's more competion. there's less tor reform that. thers less trajectory of the cost increes and those plans have been proposed over and over agaiand it's the far left. it'sresident obama and his supporters that will not aow the repuicans to usher in free maet, patient centered doctor/patient relationshi linkfor health care. >> let's talabout chris christie. he had a massive win in new jers. he won women, hispanics, independents. a sizable chunk of democrats. mitt romney says that chris christie can se the republican party. in the past u have not seemed all that impressed with him. are you changing your mind? >> i would never puty faith

took the sta, fought for us to debatehe issue of obama care. >> in your book, you write something teresting about a saying that you have on your kitchen binet. you write it saydo today what others won't so you can do tomorrow what others want. >> yea >> you've been coy about wther you'll run for senate fro la alaska. if you listen to thasaying, you want to run. >> somimes you do have to make crifices today in orr to prress and progress those aroundou to create a bette enviroent for all. so making sacrifices today, perhaps doing what you don't necessarily really want to do today t it pays off in the end. i don't know ithat applies to political office though becaus ople can make a difference without a tie and without an office. >> this is not a typical christmas book. you say that chrisas is under assault from atheists and secular liberals b you also make the point that it way too

commercialized. so is christmas in danger of becoming extinct or is it in our face. >> i love it becauset spreads the christmas cheer. it's the most jolly holiday obviouy on our calendar. >> but you s it takes the heart out of christm. >> what i'm saying is we need to protect the het of christmas and not let an angry athet armed with an attorney tell us that we can't celebrate traditional fah in america. we have a constitionally protected right toelebrate faith anchristmas is a part of that and today on veterans day all days we should be cognizant of the fact that sacrifices have beenade for ese freedoms. we'rso appreciative and thankful f america's freedoms and we want to protect them. not just that spirit of christmabut overall our cotitutional right to exercise our faith. >> sacrifices made by your own family ihould point out. always nice to have yohere. >> thank you. >> you're going totick around

>> let me bring you into this. there was an august letter from the police chief to your client and said he failed to rpond three officers, retirement, disability retirement, and resignation. what do you say to tha >> well, if he were to take a retirement, w would be a far reduced retirement and it wouldn't be enough teven pay a all amount of bills. he's not eligible for disability retiment and the town knows that and resignation would essentially leave him financiay destitute. so there we three very bad options and the fourth option, which is the one that the town should be puuing, is to provide hiwith the disability benefit until his retireme date just like they agreed to in e collective bargaing agreemt. >> i this doesn't work out, what recourse do u have? what are you planning to do? is there other work you are ae to do? >> i really don't know. i'm hopinghat the town is going to keep a prome that

they made to us. th promised us, a of the police officers, that if we do our jobs and something happens, they're goingo take care of us. and they're not holdg up to their word th's all we want them do. for myse and for anybody else that this is goi to happen to. do you think there are other officers that have returneto work who maybe would like to file the disability claims b are afra to? i believe so. i believe that some of them are raid of what is goinon and so now they can't take care of themselves because they're too worried out the financial whicis a huge burden. and obviously adds additional stress to myself and to my family. >> well, officer, thank you for being here and sharing yr story. we appreciate it as well. well, shift gears now and t a check of the weather from mr. roker.

a little bit about that this rning. i wep in the icu and there was mirror in my room that ignored for weeks. when i finally got the courage, i tried for the longest time. there's so much in life you can't control. your power resides in the fact that you can choose how you respond to at. theeauty is whoou are, it's not the way y ok. that's important for my kids to learn and just the way they look at me mes me feelspecial. >> h has two beautiful children. >> i love that. >> andhey're the exact agesf my two kids and they have gotten to know each other a little bit marched last year in the vetens day parade. he inspires men the fac that he served to begin wit but the way he krcarries himself. >> i love that he says you can chse how you respond to the situion. that's so imptant what you

said in your piece. yolook at what they're going through and it puts life in perspective. >> all of those veterans are. every onef them has a story and has rsevered. >> right. >> and you think what he i done today? >> ght. exactly. this group opetion mend provides this service free of charge. it's reconstructive surgery. so if you're a veran outhere that's been severely wounded you can reach o and ty're in partnership with the va they work together on this. there is help out there and it's ee of charge. >> fantastic. >> so paties don't know this kind of he is there and people are wting to help them. >> you guys are having a event tonight. >> yeah, wre going to get some of our friends here in new yor together and honor these guys. what the surgery doe -- ias talking to one of them lt night and h saidt's not so much about theosmetic recotruction, it's about the self-confidee it give knows go back in the world. he said i was done after thi injury. i was re-signed to the fact tha i w going to live in the dark

and i have hope and i can be with my kids and my girlfriend and walk through the mall and i ha my life back. >> and the pain they' still going through becae a lot of em, their nerve endings have be damaged and destroyed. >> yh. >> so havinginterviewed a couple of veters that he been severely disfigur and burned, it's a long, long road and they need all the help they can get every step of the way. >> yeah andou can go to today.com an watch our full interview. >> beautiful piece. >> it will inspire you as well. >> we're all inspid by that. share your ipirations aswell. we'r encouging you t go online to our website a on twter as well and tell us your stories. who inspires you. the #isnspired by. >> absolutely. >> there's a sto over the weekend, this super typhoon, really. a lot ofeople asking me over the weekend what's the difference between a typhoon and hurricane. >> it's the ocn. >> it's the geographi location. the western pacic and the indian oceans. this is probly the most powerful hurricane or typon to

ever hit land. >> w. >>ind gusts -- >> and whe you think about mille that puts it in perspective. >> camille was 190 miles per hour winds back in 1969. the sustained wind 195 miles per hour. 235 wind gusts. a storm surge of aut 20 feet. you know, i low lying areas. and now there talking about ybe 10,000 people dead. >> yeah those nbers just coming in. 10 million people have been afcted. according to the un no electricity, food, water. houses and billings have been veled. some coastal towns were wiped away. >> aot of these areas are generally poor are too where the infrastructure is not great and as we saw in haiti with the earthquake, they get decimated by an event like this. as you see, say,e're seeing all the -- unfortunately the aftermath anwe're still learning about areas that we're not even hearing about communication withyet. >> and sadly there's ather area developing ck between

peru and the philippines that obviously won't be as strong but is going to be rainnd win to this area over the next 72 hours. >> so we knoa lotf people are going to want to help and reach out in some way ando ny great organizations, including e military is already there helping out right now. buthe american red cross launched a family tcing service among many other aid operations. unicef is helping provide them with shelt and clean wat and vaccines. save the children inperation usa and world vion all in place trying to take action here. go to our website if you have any questions about the organizations or if you nt to getnvolved and help t. >> absolutely. some other sries making news is morning. this miami dolins back and forth. it gets bigr and bigger. >> it's more convoluted too. i don't know what to believe or ink in a lot of ways. >> we hea for the first time from richie incognito. he gavan inteiew yesterday to fox spor. the rst one since he was

suspended. duri the sit down interview he defended his treatment of his teammate jonhan martin. th is how he explained it. >> i'm embarrassed by ut. but what i want peopl to know is the way jonathan and t rest of the offensive line and our teammates, h we communicate. it's vuar. it's not right. when the words are put in the context i understand why a lot of eyebrows get raid but people don't know how john and i communicate to one another. thissn't an issue about buying. this is an issue of mine and john's relationship where i may -- iave taken stuff too far and i didn't know it was hurting him. >> incogto tried to provide context yestday. he revealed a text from marn to fox sports whereartin said i'm, quote, going to murder your family. yeah. and he said this is the way we talk. we're joking around. >> but there like 1,100 texts they shared back and forth.

but what's consing as well is martin sen a world saying what's up n, the world's gone crazy. i'm good, though, congrats on the win. and another text sai i'mood man. it's insaut just know i don't blame youuys at all. it's just the culture around football and the locker room got to me a little >> sounds like somody is walking his story back. sounds like he is walking back. don't know if he iseeling the heat from players. because a lot of them came out and defdedincognito. >> incognit >> exactly. >> so you wonder what the ment was that caused him to leave the team. th's a huge step and now in those texts it appears that he saying wre good. >> right. there is an investigation underway and it's probably gng to be hile before we g this thing figured outut either way it's very clear that there's something wrong in that culture, in that locker room. if they say this is the way we talk in the lockerroom, that' just the wayt is -- you know,

that's unacceptle. >>'m sure those of us that are not in that culture they would say yo don't derstand. but do you wt your child growing up t wt too that? to be in that culture? >> many footballrganizations that you think that's probabl not what was going on in the locker om. you would hope that this is ybe just an erration. >> it's a bizarre story and we haven't seen the end of it. anothestory that has a lot of people talking this morng. cnn reporter has filed a gender discrimination claim withhe equal employmentpportunity commission against his employer. he wants t same ten wee of paid leave thatcnn's mothers get. birth mothers get 10 weeks pd leave an the same policy appls both men and women who adopt or have chiren through a surrogate. so in other words, if you adopt and y're a dad you get the ten wes but not if you're the biological father. >> you g twoweeks. >> but the moms get ten paid. >> right. >> time warner which is the parent firmaid no to his equal leave request. they said we don't comment on pendinlegal matters however it should be noted that time warner

and it's businesses have been recognized for pviding employees with some of the most prressive and inclusive benefits available. the parental leave policy is flexible and available to al employees. that's the statement. whato you think? >> i think honestly having looked at some of the policies d we were doing a little resech over the weekend and cnn's policys for the most part what a lot of companies offer. >> right. >> and it's actlly in some ways, even better than what a lot of companies offer. i mean, 10 weeks paid materni leave for women, two weeks pd for men is -- for bonding time -- i mean, thas in line, if not little bit better than whe the country stands. >> but the question is if u give 10 weeks so an adoptive or surrogat whyouldn't you give it to -- i'm glad they give t time but you should even it out somehow. >> a lot of companies whe it comes , they make a diffence beeen if it's an adopted child and the bonding time that is

needed, you know versus a biologal child. which is interesting. it certain rses a lotf questions. but a lot of questions overall with the fily medical leave act in this country. we lag hind. we're one ofour cntries in the world o aually don't have reallyaid medical leave as a law. yeah. >> well but on the other hand, we lea the country in miley cyrus. >> we sure do. yes. we lead the country -- >> and the world. theworld. >> last nigh mtv, european sic awards in amsterdam, miley cyrus found aew way to get atntion. sh opened the sho with a performancef we can't stop. of course she twerked with little person and of course she won the best video awd for wrecking ll. t's just enjoy ron burgandy for a second. that's the highght. after accepting the award she gets the ard and she took a
