9:30 am
we've got the best videos of the day, "right this minute." >> it's a high-anxiety rescue when an injured owl becomes wedged under a bridge. >> and it's hanging from just one foot. >> hear how they finally got the poor little dude down. >> it was a long process. some drivers deal with a fender-bender l.a. style. >> they decided to stop and duke it out in the middle of the highway. >> how the mano y mano thing left one man on the pavement. she's all dressed up for father's day. >> but we think she needs a
9:31 am
little bath. >> why heels and a big rubber duck don't mix. and back that thing up. see the lady who's having a little trouble. >> where's she trying to go? >> i can't tell you the location, but i can tell you it was a blonde driver. we are getting the show started with a rescue video and the story behind it. >> a call came into the wildlife rehabilitation center in northern utah. when they got there, this is what they saw. a great-horned owl hanging upside down at the bottom of this bridge. >> how does its foot get caught? >> it was severely tangled in bailing twine. jeff was at the wildlife rescue when the call came in and he volunteered to scope out the situation. they decided to call the south weber fire department, who came in using one of their trucks. they were able to position the truck right under the owl. of course the owl is very scared and it's hanging from just one
9:32 am
foot. >> oh. >> its face is so terrified, it breaks my heart. >> they wrapped him in this towel and they were finally able to get it loose. they handed it over to jeff. to find out how this owl is doing, we have jeff via skype right this minute. >> the latest report is that it's on antibiotics, because there was an exposed tendon on the foot. >> my understanding from the blog is that it's probably going to lose one and a half toes, is that correct? >> the good news is the toes that it's going to lose are the inner toes and what owls need most of all for hunting is their outer toes, so there's a lot of hope that this owl could recover and some day go into the wild again. >> so they think this owl will still be able to catch its food? >> my understanding is that great-horned owls have thiss i intrinsic knowledge of how to
9:33 am
sglu sglu. >> was the bailing wire part of the nest? >> the one thing is they don't build their own necessast. they were using a nest built by another bird. >> how long did this rescue take from the time you got to the bridge until the time the owl was actually freed? >> probably three hours. it was a long process. >> talk about the job the firefighters did, because i'm sure they're not bird rescue experts. >> i was skeptical whether the truck was going to make it but the chief thought he could do it. sure enough he came out and brought a whole crew. they were more than happy to help out. i have another video that proves people really need to get their tempers in check. this was shot on the i-5 near los angeles. what we're coming upon is it looks like maybe a small fender-bender. three guys, look like they came out of the car that's in front, a voex vlkswagen and tempers ar flaring. >> it doesn't look like there's any damage on the cars. >> and they decided to duke it out in the middle of the highway
9:34 am
in los angeles. they start kicking and punching, grabbing each other's legs. then the second guy comes in, tackles him onto the highway. >> it started out one on one but then the friend will jump in. >> people say the camera guy should have gotten in there. >> why would he do that, because then he gets involved in this mess. >> and this guy in the magenta shirt didn't look like he was trying to talk peacefully. >> he gets down on the ground, he tries to get back up, they knock him back down. they are doing some swift kicks to this guy's face and he's not moving. these guys get in their car to go away. >>. >> did you shoot that? >> i got the whole thing. >> the guy shooting actually gets out of the car. the guy is responsive. you see that he is a little dazed and confused, but he is responding. according to the posr of this video, this man did suffer a concussion.
9:35 am
we d contact thel, any more information on this fight. >> well, you've got to think they'll use this as evidence. you see the license plate clearly and see the three guys, their faces clearly. i hope they turn this into police or now that it's on youtube, they can use it as evidence. one of the best parts about riding wave runners, jet skis and personal watercraft is when you fall off, it doesn't really hurt, you fall into the water. unless a giant ship is about to run you over. if you look close, a guy has fallen off, you see him bobbing around to the left, and this huge ship is coming right at him. >> [ bleep ]. >> he's in the wall river. the guy that was shooting this video said he was just taking pictures of guys out there riding around when he heard people screaming for help. some other wave runner comes up, tries to get him out of the way but that giant ship just barely misses him and his personal
9:36 am
watercraft. >> you know who's probably the most relieved? the insurance company. how crazy is it that there is a public beach and people are allowed to ride wave runners in a place that ships this size comes through. it just seems like it's a conflict of interest. >> that made me so nervous for this guy. and the friend or person who was trying to help, he could have been in a real pickle. >> it's like a slow motion train wreck because the boat is not coming very fast, but there's nothing you can really do to get out of the way. shortly after you see a police boat speed into view to try to help these guys out. nobody appeared to have gotten hurt, luckily. >> i want to start this business in the united states. i'm going to call it elephant towing. this is in myanmar and the guy who posted this said we got stuck in some hard mud and they broke an axle. they said that they only had
9:37 am
front wheel drive and they got stuck again and then that's when they brought in the elephant to tow them out. >> who do you call for that? you don't call aaa. who do you call to say, yeah, can you send an elephant? >> you just hope you have an elephant on hand. >> look, they did. they had chains, they had somebody on there, they had a brace for the elephant. it looks like elephant towing is pretty common in myanmar. >> it almost looks like the elephant knows what he's doing. >> absolutely. i love how the mud is totally caked on this land rover and the elephant is like, oh, not again, these land rovers. >> look at that thing pull. look at him lean in and dig in. that is unbelievable. that is a big, heavy truck that's full of stuff too. >> tony who posted this video said the elephants belong to the national park and were just helping them out for the day, but he said the elephant did carry their personal gear 40 kilometers into the park. >> you can get an elephant into places that you can't get a tow truck into. >> how do you tip this guy?
9:38 am
>> peanuts, of course. it's an ice cream pole featuring fake candidates acting like the real thing. >> excuse me, did he just flip flop? >> who wins? you decide, next. cute, adorable babies, right? >> gayle, you are a resident animal lover and i can tell you on this show, you used to say that you hated raccoons. >> why gayle hates raccoons and what i say that no one understands. what's wrong with these people?
9:39 am
9:40 am
welcome back to the show. but don't forget to check in at rightthisminute.com. great videos all day long. >> last week i showed you guys a video of a driver having a little issue pulling into a parking garage. >> the triple fail. >> well, i got another one for you. this time the driver is having a
9:41 am
hard time backing out of a parking spot. this driver is in a minivan. the uploader of this video says it's a blonde gal driving. >> oh! >> you know what -- >> that means nothing to the story. >> listen, i am a very thorough journalist, and i wanted to just tell you all the details of this story. i don't know where it was, i can't tell you the location, but i can tell you that it was a blonde driver. so here she goes. now, there is a ton of room here, not to mention there's not even a car next to her in this spot. backs up, goes forward, backs up, goes forward. someone had the bright idea to start recording this. >> why is she turning that way? >> what is she doing? where is she trying to go? >> she eventually says, you know what, this backing up is not for me. i'm going to go forward. i'm just going to go through the grass an through the sidewalk
9:42 am
becau that' an out. >> you've got to be kidding me. >> what? >> what would you have done in the situation? >> i would have backed out of the parking spot. the 2012 presidential election is heating up so why not cool things down with a different kind of poll, an ice cream poll. this is from our flenriends in washington and this guy i think is on to something and his idea was to let the public decide what they wanted to vote for, obama or romney. >> but the best part about it is they have some impersonators here. >> they have agreed whoever does win today, the other will withdraw. >> i love ice cream. i love soft serve. i love hard dish ice cream what i don't like is soft serve ice cream. since he's got hard serve, it's the best you can get. >> did he just flip flop? >> and he likes whatever he's standing in front of right now.
9:43 am
>> in this country, we need more humor. that is why i am here today. god bless you and god bless the united states of america. thank you. >> i'm confused. did they get ice cream or not? do they just line up behind these guys? >> they want ice cream. if you want obama, go left, if you want romney, go right. >> it wasn't like one side was chocolate and one was vanilla ice cream? that would be racist. >> that would be racist. >> i didn't say anything. but i have to say romney is the star of this show. >> i love to fire people because it gives them an opportunity to reentrepreneur. putting people out of work gives them a chance to get work. i want to support the winning side of an issue, no matter what it is. >> the winning side, okay. therefore, you support me. >> i support you leaving and me arriving. and i also support you staying so i can replace you. >> that's very confusing, mr. romney. >> i wish the polls worked this way. >> i think more people to vote. >> soft serve is my favorite.
9:44 am
>> chocolate or vanilla? >> yes. you guys are about to be overcome by major cuteness. what you're looking at are some raccoons. they were found abandoned in the woods, there were four of them. unfortunately one was deceased when they found them. so this retired woman, who is a big-time animal lover, decided to take them in, give them a home and raise them a little bit. you can see the adorableness that ensued. >> gayle, you are a resident animal lover, and i can tell you on this show, you said that you hated raccoons. >> we all know i love animals, but raccoons used to get in our trash all the time and i had to clean it up. but these baby raccoons have softened my heart a little bit. look at them eating grapes. >> that's better than eating garbage. >> my garbage that i've got to
9:45 am
pick up. even this gate can't keep these little guys in. i need to explore, i need to get out, it's in my dna. >> i feel like maybe you raise them until they're big and strong and let them go back into the woods. i don't know, i would hope. >> you could name him rocky and give him a gideon's bible. you know that song? ♪ rocky raccoon >> i'm sorry, i'm not about this. >> man! this guy here, he's filling up a kiddie pool and this guy here -- >> passed out on the couch, dead to the world. >> bet you know where this is going. or do you, smarty pants? and see this little cutie get her whistle on. >> i love it because it's more screaming than whistling. >> it's

when you're a kid, a toddler, there are a lot of firsts. the first time you walk, the first time you eat some wood you don't like. >> the first time you use the potty. >> the first time you whistle. [ whistling ] >> i love it because it's more screaming than whistling. >> it's like a fake whistle. >> this adorable toddler is listening to jack johnson and part of the song includes whistling and she tries to mimic the whistling, but it doesn't quite sound the same. she's got good pitch because she's trying to match his pitch and she's doing a good job at it. >> it's her own rendition, you know. to each his own. if she wants to whistle like that, she can whistle like this. >> you can tell she's very excited about this newfound talent of hers. >> right. >> i don't think i could even do that when i was her sglage. >> i can't remember the first time i tried whistling.
