if mccabe loses his footing now, it could be fatal. >> he would have been swept down river.ed or not, i don't know. >> but nelson's timing is perfect. >> i was able to get this drop around him and gave the signal. that's when we came up through the tree, and we were about 25 feet up above the river, just enough to clear those trees. >> mccabe is so happy to be out of the tree, he almost loses his fear of heights. >> i remember dangling there and saying kind of fun being up here, kind of. >> once mccabe is on the bank, the rescuers turn their attention to ed. they position the chopper and this time, deputy don mcadoo makes the drop. by now, he has an additional challenge to deal with. >> my pilot was a little bit fatigued. my systems operator, kevin, who is standing on the skid running the hoist and basically putting us into position, he's been at it for about an hour. the winds have really kicked up. >> the chopper's whirling blades add to the turbulence. >> wow. it is pretty scary in itself, that wind that's also being created. >> i'm like a yo-yo. i'm at the mercy of my sy

mccabe editor of the guns and patriots newsletter and horace cooper a conservative commentator and senior fellow at the national center for public policy research gentlemen welcome back good to be with you have both of you here with us you heard my rant about government funding you probably both read the article the new york times the drug companies are having to be basically bribed to come up with solutions for this. multi-drug resistant bacterial probably have several drugs. several bacteria now that are multi-drug resistant and for which there is no or few responses doesn't this demonstrate the necessity of federal funding of medical research i know by half of all drugs now are funded by with our tax dollars the national institutes of mental health and three universities but don't we need to be doing more you know i think that you know these up until the point where the government was involved in medicine you know cures and things like that would come people would come up with them on their own. i understand it's always been i understand your point about having direct focused governmen

the things that is troubling i think to a lot of americans to hear you, and senator mccain, senator mccabe on the floor this week saying, look, we should have a no-fly zone, neutralize the advantages assad has. we could do that without risking a single american airplane. isn't that irresponsible, given the iraq experience, to say that we can take that first step on a slippery slope and it won't be that dangerous? >> i don't think so, david. no boots on the ground is sort of everyone's position, including mine, because the rebels don't want to send there. i think you can neutralize the air power with cruise missiles, and a no-fly zone operating out of turkey and jordan to neutralize the air power. if the war continues, how likely is it iran will take us seriously when it comes to their nuclear program if we continue to act indecisively concerning assad's syria? look at what's happened over israel in the last year. the russians are not hesitating and helping assad. hezbollah helped take back a town the rebels had just a few weeks ago. so the balance of power is really now on assad's side. as

back to our big picture of politics panel joining me tonight kelsey osterman kay steiger and neil mccabe let's get back to it the obama administration announced monday that they will comply with a new york judge's order to allow girls of any age to buy emergency contraception without a prescription this decision ends a long fight between the obama administration which would argue that age limits for the morning after pill were common sense and women's rights groups who were insisting that the drug should be is freely available as aspirin so this is the right choice by the obama administration to abide by the judge's ruling and girls of all ages have access to emergency contraception finally. yeah i mean that and i let me let me not overstate this because there are still a lot of barriers for full access to emergency contraception you know judge harmon still has to approve the. ministrations plan and the administration said they would only drop the appeal if the corpsman approved the plan but in there are still this only concerns the name brand version and the generic is still caught up i

wit as pretty feisty interview with senator mccabe. a finger in the eye, does senator mccain have a point about putin? >> this is a powerful point because americans are angry with russia in general and they're furious with them over the syrian issue, stopping any movement of the syrian council that would help with the opposition on that, but beyond that they're very angry that snowden was allowed to leave china. and they do have an extradition treaty with china and hong kong, but they have none with russia. they say putin is doing this deliberately and russia is doing this deliberately. we do know the relationship between the united states and russia is not a good one. they have confirmed, yes, snowden is in the transit area. they've said he's not entered into the russian federation and they say he's not committed a crime according to law on russian soil, so they have no reason to arrest him or deport him or whatever. they say as soon as snowden find as destination and somewhere to go, the better for all of us that he goes, but, again,

doug mccabe, the president of and chief investment officer and also the chief investment officer from janny, doug, and let me ask you, what does that mean to me, 2.46 or 2.43 and anything that i need to worry about? >> well, i think that i have seen a lot of baseball games, and it is hard to -- sorry to change gears on you, but the last three years the fed is playing catcher. if you don't have a strong catcher, people are going to run willy-nilly around the bases all of the way to third and the fed has been playing catcher in the bond market game. a lot of people have been penalized for going against them. right now, what they have done is to have stepped back and saying, we are more of the traditional umpire role and we have not moved beyond the game, but the game is improving on its own and its own market fundamentals and let the game be played. the only place that you can be is equities or stocks for the long run, and we can discuss that more, which areas of the stocks i would like. >> all right. well, let's do that. which areas of stocks do you like? >> well, i think that we are m
