family. craig: have you ever had any of his olive oil? >> no, but i can't wait to try it. >> it's difficult to travel with bottles. you are in france. i will give you. craig: i'd like to try. >> of course. craig: do you ever kind of feel that when you're -- when you're in the united states, do you ever feel very fish out of water? because sometimes when i'm in paris, well, in france, i feel so alien, i don't understand what's going on. you seem to be very comfortable when you're in the u.s. >> of course. first of all, my wife is english. i've been traveling now for more than 20 years. so i have a lot of friends there. craig: in america? >> yeah, in america. by the way, i like america. i like the way they think. i like the way they act. i like the way they are. i like also the movie business in america. craig: of course. >> they're very good.

i'm an actor. i like to be an actor. so i like to be in america. craig: is there any feeling amongst french actors because you're very successful in america and you're seen as, you know, also working in america as well as in france, is there any kind of maybe bitterness is too strong a word but any kind of resentment of leaving france about going work aboard? >> yeah, because they do not understand. because they do not want to speak another language. that's the problem. as you know, i was born in morocco. my parents were spanish. my passport was french, etc. then i met english people. then i moved to america. then i moved to japan. so i have -- i consider myself as a breach because i like to -- to be with people. it is my destiny. but i understand people say i don't want to move. that's my place. it was the place of my

father. i don't want to move. i don't want to move. i was born here. i want to die here. i understand that also. but my destiny, my personal destiny it is to move. so how can i say i do not like you because you speak korean or because you speak italian or whatever. no, no, i move and you are here. maybe we can do something together. that's my life. craig: so are you saying that -- do you think that it's healthier for people to travel than to not travel then? >> of course. i recommend -- i recommend to have a passport and move. craig: do you know that so many americans don't have passports. do you know that? >> what? craig: it's true. there's a very large percentage of americans don't actually -- i mean, they're entitled to them. >> they don't have them because they never leave america. craig: i just think that -- because i became an american when i was like 42 or something, i got my tattoo and everything. you don't have to get a tattoo

if you want to be an american. it's not compulsory. >> because i'm afraid of that. craig: you'd never have a tattoo? >> no. it's like why am i going to change my body? >> well, you change your body if you eat enough. >> but you have to be tack, tack, tack, tack, four hours, no? craig: well, a little bit. when you get a tattoo and people say it's going to look bad when you're 70. well, i'm going to look bad when i'm 70 so it will fit right in. >> you're more rock 'n' roll than i am. craig: no. i think you're quite rock 'n' roll. you were born in africa and traveling the world. that's glamorous. >> to answer your question, some french actors they say, huh, you work in america. huh, like that. >> a citizen of the world. craig: yeah, exactly. craig: i'd like you to meet the

legraca family from louisiana. what's your name? >> shira. >> chuck. craig: chuck's an american? >> and you are? >> leben. craig: and you guys have been in europe for how long? >> we go home on the 19 and that will be 21 days. we're working on i guess about 16? craig: and you have got all of that time in paris? >> no, no. we started off on a disney cruise. craig: disney? i've never heard of them. they're an american organization. >> i think so. florida maybe. craig: what do you do when you go back to louisiana? >> i'm a contractor. craig: things are going pretty well, right? >> louisiana, ok. craig: yeah, yeah, you're doing ok. what have we learned in france? what did you learn today? >> things are overpriced. craig: things are overpriced.

[meow] [laughter] craig: don't. we -- we would like to apologize to certain members of our cast who did not make it to paris for the parisian shows, namely -- what's your name again, little guy? >> t.j. craig: t.j. [laughter]

ok, t.j., the leprechaun and aqualad. [laughter] now, geoff, can you explain to them why they didn't come with us to paris? geoff: well in the case of aqualad it's obvious. [laughter] as for t.j. craig: wait, wait. why is it obvious that aqualad didn't come to us to paris? >> yeah! geoff: well, you can start with the no pants. craig: i knew there was something. geoff: and also the washing gloves he's wearing. >> hey, these are made of fupalian saturated oils. it's special. craig: yeah, we were right about not taking aqualad but what about t.j.? geoff: t.j. the leprechaun as we're now calling him. [laughter] apparently, the french hate leprechauns. craig: they do!

it was for your own good, t.j. what happened we were doing some research and they found that since napoleon, the french have been very upset at men of a small stature who are looking for a lot of gold if you know what i mean? they're kind of like, oh, no, we remember last time and things did not go well. so, it was for your own good. they may have attacked you with their sarcasm and enui. so what did we learn on the show tonight, geoff, in paris if you remember? geoff: well, we learned that the leprechaun's name is t.j. craig: no, no, no, no, not about the leprechaun. what did we learn when we were in paris? i can't remember. geoff: we learned that we had a good time. craig: we had a good time. you should get a little place in paris, shouldn't you? get a little place there and then you could, you know --

geoff: throw beads at people. craig: have your friends over! geoff: ah! craig: so, look -- i know -- thank you, people that are not meant to be here. [laughter] but i know that some of you at home are upset that we didn't take aqualad and t.j. to france. but we'll promise we'll take them tonight and they'll be on tomorrow night's show. they won't.

new at 11, boys being boys or criminal assault. cops discover local middle school kids that have their own fight club. plus, topper's tracking how long todays warm weather will stick around. but first tonight, a nation turns to its president for the state of the union address. it could be his last state

of the union speech, president barack obama turned the tables on his republican foes who pounded him for months. >> the president echoed many of his familiar theme, improving the economy, creating jobs and a sustainable energy policy. our gary nurenberg is live with more. gary? >> reporter: leslie and anita a state of the union address in an election year poses the challenge of scoring political points without appearing to be political, of setting a presidential agenda for the country while to some extent launching a presidential campaign. >> [applause]. >> with an unemployment rate of 8.5% the economy had to be for a president and for a candidate the primary focus. he pointed a finger at washington. >> the greatest blow to our confidence in our economy last year didn't come from events beyond our control. it came from a debate in washington over whether the united states would pay its

bills or not. who benefited from that fisaco? >> so he asked congress to aprove new economic measures to help those who struggled. >> and that's why i'm sending this congress a plan that gives every responsible homeowner the chance to save about $3000 a year on their mortgage by refinancing at historically low rates. >> at times, he sounded like a republican saying he wants 75% of offshore oil and gas to be open forex more asian. >> tear down regulations that prevent entrepreneurs from getting the financing to grow. expand tax relief to small businesses that are raising wages and creating good jobs. >> and at times, he sounded like the democrat he is calling for stricter control of financial giants and more taxes on the wealthy as a way to fight the deficit. >> if you make more than a million dollars a year, you should not pay less than 30% in taxes. now you can call this class warfare all you want but asking

a billionaire to pay as least as much as his secretary in taxes? most americans would call that common sense. >> [applause]. >> he harolded his foreign policy. >> for the first time in nine years, there are no americans fighting in iraq. >> [applause]. >> for the first time in two decades, osama bin laden is not a threat to this country. >> [applause]. >> and praised the troops. >> they aren't consumed with personal ambition. they don't obsess over their differences. they focus on the mission at hand. they work together. imagine what we could accomplish if we followed their example. >> the president said the most immediate priority is extending the payroll tax cut soon due to expire and he also asked congress to extend tuition tax credits that will expire in

july. when the speech is over members of congress fled to the hall where we are now for something on mad house as elected representatives and senators literally line up for a chance to be on local television. our question to our local delegation? what did you like somewhat didn't you like? >> i liked what he said about investing in solar and wind and all of those things that are renewable energy and, you know, i have some concerns about some of the other investments we might make. >> it was a great speech and when i was listening to that speech i was asking myself how much would be inappropriate for a republican to say. only a few places would it be inappropriate, but you needed to put it in context, but he talked about regulations and mortgages you need to remember that it was over regulation that caused the housing problem, the community reinvestment act which required find things if they didn't make irresponsible loans to people they knew couldn't pay it back. it was more positive than i think many of the people in republican leadership thought it would be but this is the last chance and i think there

was the implicit message, if you don't work with me, most of these things i can do on my own and that's what i'm going to do but if you want to do it with me where the american people are far better off. >> many of the proposals tonight talked about expanding spending but there still is an imbalance in the spending versus dollars coming in. i want to make sure we get the spending element of this addressed, get our budgets back into balance, address deficits and our national debt. >> interesting that republican bartlett said many times the president sounded like a repluckly can but he also certainly sounded like a democrat, one using many of the plans for the speech tonight in a campaign that began just a couple of hours ago. leslie and anita. >> it certainly did, gary, thank you. well governor mitch daniels of indiana delivered the republican response to president obama's state of the union address. >> no feature of the obama presidency. has been sadder than its constant efforts to divide us, to favor with some americans by

castigating others. as in previous moments of national damager, we americans are all in the same boat. if we drift, paralyzed over debt, we will all suffer, regardless of income, race, gender or other categories. >> daniels called the president's policies "pro- poverty." the governor said we should not be a nation of haves and have- nots but rather a nation of haves and soon to haves. to read to his cop pleat remarks go to wusa9.com. the president did make sure to stop and embrace representative gabrielle giffords before tonights address. she will officially resign on wednesday. before the president came in, giffords received a standing ovation from her colleagues. in other news middle schoolers out for blood. police say they've discovered at least one case of a real- life fight club, but what's even more alarming is the participants are kids.

our ken molestina has the details. >> reporter: according to police, officers with combing the streets of viennaxe january 13th looking for a missing juvenile. officers say when they got here to this area they found a group of 20 middle schoolers who claim to have been part of a fight club. vienna, it's a medium size town with about 16,000 residents, mostly a quiet suburban community not known for anything quite like this. >> you do not talk about fight club. >> but according to police, a scene similar to something out of the movie fight club happened at least once, the brawlers were kids. >> i'd be pretty surprised if that was happening here. >> police say about 20 middle school boys ranging in age between 11 & 13 got together along the 100 block of park street northeast for a pre- arranged fight. there wasn't any bad blood. they were just doing it for sport and an officer reported seeing two kids wrestling while others watched. >> they were gathered in this parking lot and when the officer approached they all

scattered in different directions. >> one of the middle schoolers wasn't able to get away and talked to police and told them what they just seen was a fight organized through a juvenile fight club. nobody was hurt. >> they're really young. >> you don't want to hear that's happening but i haven't heard that it's happening. >> while some seemed only mildly bothered by the event others said it's boys just being boys. >> maybe we need a boxing thing here at the community center, i don't know. boys need to get their aggression out and do something with all that pent-up energy and unfortuntely, it would be nice if they were doing athletics, it might be more productive. >> police are not calling this a trend. right now they say they have very little information to continue an investigation into this, however they say they will make note of this and keep this case in the back of their minds. ken molestina, 9 news now. new tonight interesting remarks from d.c. police chief kathy lanier on the string of

armed robberies. she spoke at a community meeting on what the department is doing. since the first of the year there have been nine armed robberies within three miles of the tinley town metro. police are offering up to $10,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction and chief lanier thinks that incentive will work. >> i can tell you, there is no honor among thieves. when i offer this reward, people will call. they will tell us, they will turn each other in, if for monthing else to eliminate the competition. >> now, two weeks ago, three of the nine holdups happened on the same night within 30 minutes of each other. the victims were all walking on quiet residential streets in northwest, less than three miles apart. police believe the majority if not all of these crimes are related and that they're being perpetrated by a group of two to three men. also new tonight, occupy d.c. demonstrators march down to the capitol to protest the president's state of the union. earlier today though it was the demonstrators that were the topic of discussion on the hill. republicans say the obama white

house has allowed the camp in mcfearson square to go on illegally. during a hearing the national park service director jonathan jarvis admitted to allowing protesters to sleep in the park to help keep the peace. park police officers will soon begin to enforce the no camping law just like in national parks around the nation. he has not said how or when that will take place. >> mcfearsons, the occupiers under any circumstances unless there's a imagine or health or emergency. you need to make a distinction here that camping is a violation on an individual persons case. >> jarvis testified a few other demonstrations have been allowed to camp out in the mall. there was the farmers protest in 1979, and that lasted seven weeks and there was the peoples campaign in 1968, right after martin luther king jr. was assassinated. that camp site was in place about a month. tonight, police agencies

are taking a careful look at the supreme court ruling that says gps tracking cannot be done without a warrant. it was a gps tracking device attached to the car of suspected d.c. king antwon jones that resulted in a raid on a bus that netted a million dollars in drugs and cash, but the justices ruled that was unconstitutional. the ruling does not apply for all types of gps tracking, including a suspects cell phone. now this kind of tracking has played critical roles in recent cases including chasing down the killer of young william mcquain. a neighborhood in leesberg is sueing the lowden county school board over a redistricting plan and that would transfer more than 50 children from a school where they can literally see it from their homes to a school miles away. the children now attend tobert elementary and the plan would send them to fredrick douglas which is now under construction. the lawsuit says the school board did not consider proximity or community and that it ignored better options for

student population and diversity. >> other board member said she voted for it because it made the most sense and no communities were split up. well that was false. >> there were non-public hearings done here, we did hearings in leesburg, put out notices in english and spanish ahead of time, they were well attended, all plans were posted on the website so this was a fair boundary process. >> the school systems public information officer says in order for the board to reconsider the decision it would have to redo the entire procedure, including another four months of public hearings. today the late football coach joe paternox was remembered at penn state. >> and there's so many people that want to honor him, but for me personally, it was an honor to know him. >> thousands, thousands of mourners came to pay their respects creating a very emotional scene in happy valley. former and current players along with fellow coaches came to honor the coach in major college football.

he died on sunday more than two months after he was fired amid the child sex abuse scandall involving a former coaching assistant. his family will hold a private funeral for paterno tomorrow. so far, so good. tonight no major trouble has been reported due to a solar storm hitting earth, a huge flare recently erupted on the surface of the sun, that's what we're looking at and over the past few days it sent streams of radiation bouncing around earth's magnetic field and it was expected to peak today or tomorrow and there will be concerns the radiation could disrupt things like satellite communication, but again no major trouble has been reported so far around the globe. topper? yeah, i was looking for the northern lights. sometimes that's a treat if you have a large solar flare. i did not see the northern lights here. here is your wake up weather just on the chilly side. i mean temperatures in the 30s but clear in the morning, 30s by7:00, and up to the 40s by 9:00 under partly to mostly sunny skies. we'll come back and talk about how cold it's going to be tomorrow and it will
