tv   Right This Minute  FOX  November 7, 2011 9:00am-10:00am PST

9:00 am
troutman, it is monday and time to start a new week. you're watching "right this minute." it's kind of weird that you actually are not showing your name. >> occupy protesters demand a cop show his name badge. >> he just kept quiet, it was like whatever. >> but just wait until the protesters take it up a level. either one of you guys bought some extra speakers for your car so that your music sounds better? >> when i was in high school. you had to have the bass thumping. >> now a new lawsuit claims when it comes to some car speakers you're getting ripped off.
9:01 am
tazed, pepper sprayed and shot. how in the world did a guy talk his buddy into this? imagine a woman wearing her bra size on her name tag. see why one store's policy is drawing outrage. >> couldn't you just see some pervie old guy following around the girl with the dd name tag? and the energizer bunny of bears. outruns animal control. see the chase that kept going and going and going. we'll kick off today's show with video that demonstrates the true power of a camera. and gayle has the story for us. >> that's right, beth. we know that the occupy wall street protests have been going on for multiple weeks now. but check out what happened in oakland and what somebody caught on tape. >> that is kind of weird that you actually are not showing your name. why is that? >> interesting. >> so was that guy concealing his name because he agrees with
9:02 am
the protesters? >> no. what cops do is they cover up their name so when people are shooting video, you know, they don't want to be identified. >> complete os sit in case something bad happens they can't identify the guy in the video. >> when a cop stops you you can ask them identify yourself, show me your badge. the cop was saying i have the right to remain silent, so they went to his superior, the lieutenant. >> is it against policy for cops to hide their badges? >> the lieutenant walk oefrd there, you can't hear what he says. but the next thing you know, the lieutenant is removing the electrical tape and showing the name of that officer. >> do you think this is is a pr move than it was a policy kind of thing, saying dude, you're not supposed to cover your nameplate? >> probably. yes, with the camera rolling and all the media that the occupy movement has been flooding the internet with, yeah. you try to be careful. >> exactly, you can't not remove it at that point.
9:03 am
>> it's interesting he didn't say one word. he didn't even mumble anything. >> i wouldn't have as good a response as the cop did. he just kept quiet, it was like whatever. i have to commend the cop for just not clocking the guy. >> i'm not saying all of these guys were gentlemen, they were all gentlemen about it. so for that you've got to be pretty impressed with everybody. have either one of you guys bought some extra speakers for your car so that your music sounds better? >> absolutely. when i was in high school, you had to have the bass thumping. >> imagine that you spent a lot of money trying to soup up your stereo system and bought tons of speakers for your car and you found out that the speakers don't have the components in them that the manufacturer said that they had in them. >> but you're buying them on like craigslist or something? >> no, you're buying them at a big store like best buy. the picture you're seeing here is the inside of one of these speakers, part of a huge lawsuit
9:04 am
that has taken place right now. and we have one of the class-action lawyers, rob carey here "right this minute" via skype. rob, did i explain ha well enough? >> you did, it's a very basic case, parts are parts and when you get a speaker and they say, we're going to give you a four-way speaker, you expect to get four drivers. >> were these speaker built to look like all the components. but when you took them apart you realized it wasn't there? >> absolutely. in fact there are, we believe, some speakers where they actually put something in there that you would think it's a speaker. the ones we have, there's nothing there. you have a little dome over the top and nothing below it. so it's a total scam. >> rob, can you describe what we're seeing in the pictures that you sent? >> i can show you this is the picture. this right here is the 6 x 9. and this top normally sits on the top of the speaker. and if you flip it over, it's got oneery highest
9:05 am
range, which is the smallest speaker. you can see the little brass part. it's supposed to have another one where the dome is, so they're making it look like it's real on outside, but when you flip it over, there's nothing under it. no bass, no wires. >> now this retailer that's involved is best buy, but the manufacturer is where? >> the manufacturer is a company in china called p. yang. >> how dot speakers end up in a big store chain like best buy? is it best buy's fault for not inspecting this manufacturer? >> to be clear, when we say best buy, we're talking about the best buy store brand, which is called insignia. it seems ludicrous to me that you could have tens of thousands of speakers sent back for return. you would never once notice that you're missing probably the most expensive part of your speaker? >> we tried to contact best buy for a comment. but they did not respond by our deadline. for more information on this suit, go to rightthisminute.com. this clip on youtube is entitled "most funny video ever of 2011."
9:06 am
[ sirens ] >> that bothers me, it should say funniest video ever of 2011. >> grammar queen, beth troutman, thank you very much. you be the judge, it starts out funny and it gets a little disturbing. >> yeah. >> what we have here is a dog with his head stuck in a pot. >> poor guy. >> the guy has no idea where he's going. how he got in there. there must have been something tasty in there. >> they start pulling him by the tail, that's going to hurt. >> aw. >> they're trying to help him, doing the right thing. >> you can hear the dog barking inside the pot. >> that must have hurt his own ears. >> they trying to help him, nick, you're right. but this has got to hurt this dog, i feel like. >> they're wheel-barrowing him. >> his legs are going to break at this point. >> at this point they're like
9:07 am
stretching him, he's going to be two feet longer after the video is over. >> poor boy. >> how did he get his head in this pot? >> he's like pulling a winnie the pooh. >> they finally get the pot off. the dog runs away. he's like, whew, thank god! >> it's amazing they didn't break his neck. did you see him trying to get that out? they saved him. is it the most funny video ever of 2011? [ sirens ] >> funniest video ever of 2011. the floods in cambodia have affected about three-quarters of the country. and hundreds of people have died, including many animals. but there is two little rays of light coming from such devastating floods. so these are two cambodian leopard newborn cubs that were rescued from the floods by a local fisherman who saw them in a hole once the floodwaters
9:08 am
started rushing in. there was three of them, unfortunately one of them didn't make it. but two of them did survive. they're being taken care of at the local wildlife rescue center. by one of their employees, who feeds them with a tiny little bottle all day long, every day. he grooms them and cleans them up and he's very caring. and he will continue to cake care of them until they can be reunited with other leopards at this wildlife rescue. >> that makes me very happy. i feel slightly bad that these were wild leopards, i imagine. now they're going to have to live in a zoo. which i guess is better than per issuingg then uh-oh, i've got leopards. >> it's nice to see the guy and
9:09 am
how much care he's putting into taking care of these little cubs. can you tell he's very caring to them, feeding them and the way he's cleaning them, he's being so careful. >> that's the way the mom would have cleaned them, with her tongue and he's doing it with a wet cotton ball. >> good author these two little troupers, i think they're going to make it. a symbol of hope for the whole community. it's an attempted robbery with a kick. the police come and this is what they find. >> wait until you hear who walks out of the elevator and saves the day. it's a game of chicken, that gayle finds hilarious.

i love this video because it's one of those feel-good, good samaritan videos. this video was just released by the lapd, it's surveillance video from inside an l.a. hotel on vermont avenue. this happened on november 2nd, a guy walks intoed hotel with a back pack. he goes behind the counter of the clerk. takes a gun out. you can see the gun in his right hand and demands cash from the clerk. so the clerk takes out the money. >> oddly cool. >> oddly calm and cool. >> let's talk about the robbers. it's like he's done it before. >> the clerk gets more cash out and eventually the guy starts stashing it in his backpack. he starts to leave, the clerk grabs him from behind. two guys coming out of the elevator, they're in l.a. for a martial arts tournament. they see the clerk, hear his cry for help and grab the guy. grab the gun out of his hands and kind of get into this sort of wrestling match. >> ha are the chances that
9:13 am

9:14 am
one employee said, this is a quote, we have dirty old men coming into the shop looking at my cup size, why should everyone get to know that. >> the company says salespeople are there to show what size might be right for what body shape. couldn't you see the old pervert following around some girl with a dd on her name tag. >> this could be help for boyfriends and husbands they could go in and you're like about the same size of my girlfriend. >> and the union is suing the company saying this demeaning and a clear case of discrimination. >> what if a man worked in the shop? what does he wear? >> there's a controversy whether or not they're required to wear them. the company says the girls don't have to wear them if they don't want to. one girl said, we've never been told we can remove them. if we don't wear our tags with our name and size, it gives us loads of demerits.
9:15 am

9:16 am
itself. >> it measures 18 miles long, 50 meters deep. >> wow. >> and it would be an 800-square-kilometer iceberg. that's huge. >> is it global warming-related? >> it is part of the melting process of the glaciers. >> this mission, the operation ice bridge, is a six-year nasa mission and their goal is to capture the movement of this glacier and as you can see now, this iceberg that's potentially going to break off. >> what are they worried that this thing could like run into? >> they're not worried that it's going to run into. they're worried about the bigger consequences of what that means. it's raising sea levels and they're concerned about that. >> you're in the driver's seat, just cruising, and then -- >> that is a terrifying but lucky day for three drivers. >> how this accident caught on tape all turned out.

9:21 am
little wobble, but it's not his fault, it's the guy's -- whoa! >> man, he swerved out of the way, through cars. >> wow. >> that's a terrifying, but lucky day for three drivers. >> whoa! >> oh, they hit. >> they did hit. >> i thought he missed it completely, but look at the end, you actually hear a bang and you see glass against the dashboard. >> so what was that guy, that crossed this guy's path doing that like he, he ended up driving right in front of him like that? >> to me, it looks like the point of view camera that we're seeing got nudged by the driver that comes. >> i think the guy probably got
9:22 am
cut off and was trying to pass somebody too quickly and spun out. >> this camera makes it seem like you're in the car. >> like my life is flood watching before my eyes. playing a little game of pool. i mean -- [ laughter ] so -- it's elista playing chicken around the pool table with 9-month-old tank. that's a 9-month-old english ma mastiff puppy. she's playing chicken around the pool table.

9:24 am
smartphones. >> use smartphones in a cluster for this 360 video, nobody was done this before. >> these are the handlebars of a professional biker's bike. this guy rode down the slick rock trail at moab, utah, which is so cool. they created this video that you can interact with, you can control the view from your key board on your computer and can you see every single view on his ride which is almost better than the reality. >> this was done on cell phones? that's insane. >> "right this minute," we have jorgen on skype from new york to tell us exactly how he made this whole thing. >> li. well there are 360 videos that exist but nobody was used cell phones. we used cell phones because we wanted to have more controllability. >> why a bike and why this
9:25 am
location? you probably could have mounted this thing on anything. >> i thought a little bit about story had been telling and 360 videos and most 360 videos we saw are about as interesting as nothing. putting them on a mountain bike because moab is such a great place and mark knows the trail so well because he rode it like often. he wanted to share that experience with all the other people out there who have not had a chance to go to moab. i was totally ecstatic when i saw it all come together. the footage that we got is awesome. >> thank you so much for being with us, this is so cool. this bear out for a walk. >> it took them over an hour to track this bear down and that's the result of authorities chasing him down. how does it turn out?
