with us now, astronaut tom jones. great to see you. >> hi, trace. >> elton john had this right 40 years ago when he says mars is no place to raise your kid. are we surprised? >> we have known that for probably 40 years, the harsh conditions on mars. the atmosphere is only 1/ 1/1,000n't as dense as earth and you can't survive in a way earth life would here, but we always wondered about the past history of mars atmosphere, was it once thick enough and warm enough to support liquid water on the surface of mars? which would play into the origins of life there. >> does it give you any evidence of when this atmosphere became thinner and is there anything that nasa can point to that shows there's a possibility this is cyclical and at some point in time in the future billions of years maybe that mars might once again be a habitat for life? >> this points to the erosion or loss of mars atmosphere in the first billion years of its four and a half billion year history, and what this result pins down is that we now think we know

tom jones was the only guy to do "she's a lady." i knew i was not going to be the first guy to do it. you need to typecast as you would a motion picture. if you ride it for them and you know them, it works. -- write it for them and you know them, it works. tavis: when i was a kid, i was too young to get the humor and get the jokes and i was not always turned on by the guest that carson had. but i turned -- but i tuned into carson every evening for one reason. that tonight show theme will live forever in my heart. it allowed me to know that there was a world beyond the world i was living in. there were certain people i did want to see, but that music. >> i call it my school song. he did not know it was going to be on the air that long. i was doing a tv special and i wanted some comedy relief. they sent me one of johnny carson as this young comic. he was blitzed, but he had to go at 8:00 in the morning and do a kiddie program. we keep in touch when i get back to new york and he started doing the tonight show. i am changing this and i

and by now, an hour into the ordeal, firefighter tom jones knows his team won't be able to pull paul from above. so they decide it's time to call in the big guns, l.a.'s urban search and rescue team. one of the most elite rescue units in the country. as they wait for the help to arrive, paul's big brother, tommy, tries in that brotherly way to keep paul calm. >> i told him, hang in there. he looks over at me. i'm going to go get some water. don't go anywhere. you know. >> finally, the rescue team arrives from l.a. and captain roy, who thought he'd seen it all, can't believe what he's looking at. >> it was amazing. i was a little bit stunned for a second and then my mind started gearing up. >> yeah, keep it tight. i don't want him slipping down. >> by now it's been almost two hours. paul is understandably exhausted. captain roy knows that no matter what plan he comes up with, he'll need maximum effort from everybody involved including 11-year-old paul. >> at the time, he was getting real sleepy, so i talked to him and asked, do you play baseball? he said, oh yeah. he perked up. i said

or tom jones. i hired gang bangers to spray paint johnny's awesome on the side of my house. >> if you have a big d you pay models to spell it out. >> john: ben? >> i would be thrilled that if i had a bunch of balloons around me that said i had a big penis. >> that can be arranged. >> would they do that? >> in mylar. >> i would like to say so we need specialized balloons. happy birthday? no something more suggestive. >> john: to be born rich to a wealthy actor. >> i was going to say that's the biggest problem. this city is so high school. juvenile. >> john: evil and lame is skeethy. why the government has more faith in big banks than your kids. the f-bomb when we come back. agenda, actually supporting one party or the other. when the democrats are wrong, they know that i'm going to be the first one to call them out. they can question whether i'm right, but i think that the audience gets that this guy, to the best of his ability, is trying to look out for us. you know who is coming on to me now? you

jones wasn't part of the deal that the senate reached to save the filibuster and confirmed tom perez at labor and lisa mccarthy at e.p.a. but the expectation is that this point anyway there will be enough votes to move jones' nomination to a full vote. >> remind our viewers since it's been a few years since there's been an a.t.f. nominee. what are they responsible for? >> it does a lot less than they did in 2006, the last time they had a confirmed director. the agency's budget has been starved a little bit by various congresses. they don't get as much money as they used to. but it's in charge for enforcing federal gun laws. most high-profile purpose. most of the time the a.t.f. has been in the news has not been for good things. they have agents all over the country enforcing sort of specific elements of gun laws, explosive law. and there's some alcohol and tobacco elements of it but that's sort of less prevalent at this point than the gun responsibilities. when the president -- when president obama signed his 23 executive orders after the newtown tragedy in january, beefing up a.t.f.

after that a vote on the nomination of tom jones to head the bureau of alcohol tobacco and firearms and explosives. mr. jones has been the director of the agency for june years. also the nomination of some and the powers to be the u.s. ambassador to the united nations. she's formerly a human rights adviser for president obama. now to the live coverage on the u.s. to order. senate will lead the senate in prayer. the chaplain: let us pray. god of grace, glory, and power, the battle belongs to you. forgive us for fearing the future, forgetting how you have led us in the past. forgive us also for our haste to paint a caricature of the many because of the mistakes of the few. lord, remind us that fierce winds bring no anxiety to those who keep their eyes on you. lord, today, imbue our lawmakers and the members of their staffs with your wisdom that they may know the road to take. sustain those who courageously bear the burdens of the marginalized. we pray in your great name. amen. the presiding officer: please join me in reciting the pledge of allegiance to our flag. i pledge allegiance to th

jones has a lot to offer, i think. in looking at him as a character. and a public figure. if you are a fan of the first regime. if you followed the cowboys when tom landry was the coach, when tech schram was the general manager and president. you probably still have a hard time accepting this guy from arkansas. that fascinates me. i was looking at discussions up.terday, fans will bring that an interloper, look what he did, he did not respect the legacy of this franchise. he has kept this team the topic of conversation, even when it hasn't done well. he's added value. there is no other celebrity owner in sports. the only person to compare with jerry jones wws geor georgesteinbrenngeorge steinbrenn steinbrenner. >> and he is gone. >> right. >> he has kept them relevant. there is something wrong if you follow football and the cowboys are your team, when the best-known person on your football club is the owner and it is not a player.. >> although, you have to correct me if i'm wrong about this. psn't it true to tony romo's merchandise, at one point that was the most successful merchandise featuring any player's name or number in the nfl for a while.
