to read "harold and the purple crayon." john boehner was popping at conservative groups. he got his whit in the house and now we have to wait to see if the senate can pass it. an american missing in iran. the government says he was a private citizen, a report says he worked for the cia. a beyonce shocker, not another baby, she released an entire album out of nowhere. there's a bit of a catch. we'll explain on this friday edition of "way too early." actually, jennifer, it's friday the 13th. no one picked up on that, by the way. good morning, brian shactman here. in the cooler today, we have a dose of reality on the james

bond martini habit. he drinks a lot. a tutor who makes more money than all of us. details on that. we want to begin with a developing story out of denver. a series of stabbings outside the broncos stadium. it happened in a nearby parking lot 30 minutes after the game with the chargers. one victim is in critical condition and two in stable condition. there may be a fourth victim missing. witnesses saw multiple fights after the game. police tweeted, they are not looking for additional suspects. there have been a series of violent things happening ach games. a man was killed in kansas city after an altercation with the broncos. this was with the chiefs. in september, a fan was left with a concussion and broken nose and arm. members of the house of representatives can begin their

winter break knowing they have accomplished something. it's something that hasn't been done in years. that would be passing a budget. the bill moved through the house with majority of the house. 62 republicans and 32 democrats voted against it. for conservatives, this budget is the latest battleground for control of the republican party. yesterday, house speaker john boehner slammed outside groups that opposed the bill. >> frankly, i think they are misleading their followers and pushing our members in places where they don't want to be. frankly, i think that they have lost all credibility. they pushed us into the fight to defund obama care and shut down the government. most of you know, my members know, that wasn't exactly the strategy i had in mind. but, if you recall the day before the government reopened, one of the people -- one of

these groups stood up and said well, we never thought it would work. are you kidding me! >> those conservative groups, as you might imagine responded swiftly from freedom works, quote, when it comes to credibility, actions speak louder than words. right now, it looks like the speaker is leading the charge for spending increases and recruiting democrat votes in the house to get it done. from the tea party patriots, pitting colleagues is how you lose credibility, not upholding principals is how you lose credibility with the voters. find someone else if you are not willing to do your job. paul ryan said it's not just about the budget, it's about the future of the republican party. >> we have been at each other's throats for a long time. look, i was part of the last presidential election. we tried defeating this president. i wish we would have.

elections have consequences, mr. speaker. i fundamentally believe, this is my personal opinion, it's slightly partisan to say, to really do what we think needs to be done, we have to win elections. in the meantime, let's try to make this divided government work. i think our constituents are expecting more from us. they are expecting us to not keep shutting the government down. they are expecting us to pay the bills. they are expecting us to be accountable. they are expecting us to watch how their dollars are being spent and to find common ground. >> let's move to news over seas. a powerful figure in north korea has been executed. his execution as a trader was announced. he's the uncle of jim jong-un. he was attempting to overthrow the state and was called

despicable human scum, worse than a dog. cursed acts of treachery in profound trust and warmest paternal love. rumors have begun to seep that he had fallen from grace, stripped of his titles, photo shopped out of videos and photos. he was the liaison between china and north korea. it's shaken relations between the two countries. the cia is good at keeping secrets. the associated press uncovered a big one. a retired american who disappeared in iran back in 2007 was, in fact, working for the spy agency. that completely contradicts statements from american officials who insist as recently as last month he was a private citizen doing business overseas. the retired fbi agent was meeting with sources about

iran's nuclear program as part of an unapproved mission to gather intelligence. he was working on behalf of cia agents. once he went missing and u.s. officials found out, several people were disciplined and the government paid the family to keep quiet. they received images in 2010 and 2011. since then, it's been radio silence. u.s. officials can only guess who might be holding him and where he might be. the pr campaign in the fight against terrorism took a big hit thursday after a u.s. drone caught an envoy in yemen heading to a wedding. it killed 13 people according to officials. it's not clear if there were expected militants among them. information indicates intelligence mistook the wedding party for an al qaeda convoy.

al qaeda in the arabian peninsula is one of the dangerous things. if they are civilians, it will only complicate matters for the yemen and american governments. let's go to guantanamo bay. closing it was one of the president's missions. today, it's the most expensive and the most controversial prison operated by the united states. now in an op-ed for the detroit free press, the general who helped open the facilities says it should be shut down. he writes, in parkt, the entire detention strategy was wrong. we squandered the good will of the world after we were attacked by our actions in guantanamo in detention and torture. our decision to keep it open helped our enemies because it validates every negative

perception of the united states. there may soon be a change of course on airplanes when it comes to use zing cell phones. it's split. some people don't want this. in a vote, the federal communications took the first step. let's go to business. wall street looked to end the week on a positive note. the third straight day of loss. the second day in a row of triple digit losses. we are under the 16,000 level. bertha coombs is live for us. >> good morning, brian. we used to be desk mates across from one another. big news, big changes in oil exploration. mexico overwhelmingly decided to open up the energy to private investment. it was nationalized in 1938.

they entice companies to partner with state oil giant on production and service contracts. mexico has the third largest oil reserves in latin america at 10 million barrels. it's struggled to exploit them because of lack of investment there. high taxes and charges of corruption. consumers may not be willing to spend as much this holiday season as previously thought. the cnbc survey predicts a 9% drop in spending. it's interesting when you look at what's behind the prediction. a fall off in spending by the wealthy. these are the folks who can afford to spend, you would think. people with incomes above $100,000 a year plan to spend $300 less than last year. a quarter of those say they are not buying as much because finances are tighter. about the same number say it's because the economy is in bad shape. people still aren't feeling confident even in that high

income bracket. >> i think we talk about people spending less and afterward, we find out they spend more. it's the pattern. beyonce, a surprise for fans. >> yeah, amazing the security around beyonce. the president probably wishes he had this kind of security. she knows how to deliver a holiday surprise. a new album released this morning on itunes. i features tracks with husband jay-z and their daughter, blue ivy. i don't know what a toddler does. with nose genes can probably carry a tune well. beyonce sung at the president's inauguration and didn't want the year to go by without dropping a single or album, as they say. the fact this didn't leak and they are able to do this, that means incredible security around here. >> i think it's going to be interesting because you have to

buy the whole album, not individual tracks. we'll see. the culture now, is to buy songs, not albums. >> it's holiday time. you don't have to wrap it. you can gift it to somebody on your phone and you don't have to worry about it getting there in time for christmas. >> we'll see. i want to see how the sales go. bertha, wonderful to see you. say hello to the folks on the first floor for me. talk to you soon. bertha coombs live. some wealthy families spare no expense when it comes to giving their kids a leg up on the competition. this tutor says some of his wealthiest clients pay $1250 an hour. that's one thousand, two hundred and fifty dollars an hour. they get free housing and transportation. of course, that brings us to twitter. what other jobs can you think of worth that kind of money? yes, jennifer says being a floor

director is worth $1,250. i agree. use #waytooearly. i have to say that because she will throw me under the bus if i don't. peyton manning hits a bump. now we know james bond likes his martinis but we may not know his habit is impacting his health. that story and a check on weather when we come back. >> just moments ago, aspoke with george w. bush and congratulated him on becoming the 43rd president of the united states. i promised him i wouldn't call him back this time.

he told me he wasn't going anywhere. the man's never lied to me in the five years i have been there. like i have always said, he's like a second dad to me. i done see why he would leave and why he would lie to me. >> there's one phrase there, he said awhile back. things change. you never know. >> like millions of dollars. >> maybe he's choosing his words wisely. >> second dad, what's his first dad? >> you don't have four or five dads? beau jackson and dionne sanders did it. the texas rangers hope they are next. wilson played second base a few years ago. he's a really good baseball player. >> he didn't hit well if you look at the stats. >> he's an incredible athlete. >> i know. >> he may stop by spring training, but plans to focus on football for the future.

sports illustrated reports they used the pick on current florida state quarterback winston. of course, one of the most iconic performances in sports history is michael jordan's flu game. game five in 1997, scored 38 points despite being really, really sick. the sneakers he wore during that game, complete with the socks and his signature auctioned off for almost 105,000 bucks. two interesting notes about the story. the bulls trainer said jordan didn't have the flu, it was food poisoning. second, a ball boy put the shoes up fur action. he tended to jordan's illness during the game and he returned the favor by giving him the signed sneakers. cool. close to 100 grand. 40% for taxes. >> i'm amazed he saved them that long. >> when is the right time to do it? >> i don't know. who knows.
