joe montana was their quarterback. while he wasn't the biggest or fastest guy, maybe not even the best passer, all he did was win. in 2000, the year that joe montana was elected to the pro football hall of fame, ktvu joe fonzi brought us this story of his career. montana is rolling out the right. looking towards the end zone, throws it past them there. caught by clark. and right back at it as they have it for the 49ers! >> no single event is what they were and what they would become when joe montana's touchdown pass right there in the 1982 nfc championship. they now know it as the catch. that day, it was like nothing that i have witnessed in 22 years. and just the spontaneous explanation for them ignited. also introducing the bay area here for the new young heros. >> and we just knew that we had to keep pressure on them. we didn't want to give them momentum. >> i just had one part of it, you know, for all of them. >> some thought that they were actually throwing the ball away. but today, he says even back in summer cam

joe didn't recognize him, but the officer recognized joe, and joe was picked up and taken into custody. to me joe is a cautionary tale about our prison system. a lot of these guys will get out, and if they don't have the skills to stay out successfully, more problems will occur. >> coming up -- >> after the stabbing occurred, my brother-in-law asked, he said do we have an axe. >> a bizarre family murder plot sends a teenager to prison. >> i was in my senior here of high school when i got locked up. >> 26 years later a middle-aged man walks out of prison. this is flo. i need you. i feel so alone. but you're not alone. i knew you'd come. like i could stay away. you know i can't do this without you. you'll never have to. you're always there for me. shh! i'll get you a rental car. i could also use an umbrella. fall in love with progressive's claims service. >>> homework, girls, and friday night football were paul's priorities when he was last a free man. >> that was me just a few months before i got locked up. >> wow. >> yeah, i was in my senior year of high school when i got locked up. >>

joe has stepped out. other people have stepped out. >> besides joe, who? >> well, scarborough is a republican, conservative republican. >> give me a republican? >> i think there's probably a lot of conversation. i'm sure there's a lot of conversation going on all over this country among conservative republicans. i think the senator's piece is very instructive as far as what is accomplished and what can be done. i would say the one thing is that if i was going to give strategic advice to democrats and liberals is attacking conservatives and republicans and supporters of the second amendment is not the way to get things done. you want to truly get things done, you'll have to reach across the aisle and find, you know, the tired old phrase common ground. you have to find that. if this administration and democrats and liberals want to get things done, that's what they'll have to get done. >> senator schumer, it's an awkward moment for republicans on the -- in the news issues. is there a risk of sort of trying to ram this down their throats to the point where it

>> hi, joe. u.s. authorities are looking at whether this man involved in an egypt-based terror network is responsible for that attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi on september 11 according to a u.s. official with direct knowledge of the investigation. mohamed achmed was detained by egyptian authorities. the fbi which is conducting the investigation has not had access to him yet. following the attack he popped up on their radar. the official wouldn't comment on what led them to him. joe. >> what does this investigation mean in the big picture for the benghazi attacks? >> it's running on several different tracks. they are looking at a lot of different people to find out if they are connected. in this case, the man is noted as a ultra radical jihadist. 45 years old with a master's in sharia law. after the down fall of hasni mubarak he was released from jail and is believed to with be behind a terror group seeking to align with al qaeda. now achmed allegedly confessed to traveling to libya and having

to "time" and "morning joe." apparently on the night that obama was -- gave his wonderful speech in newtown was the night that malia was in the nutcracker suite, and he wasn't able to see it. so he went over to the school in the afternoon to watch the last dress rehearsal. and there's a wonderful picture of him sitting by himself and looking out and also taking notes and working on his speech for that night. >> my god, you look at that picture, and you know, just like you knew when he held the press conference, that when he gave that press conference and giving it as the president of the united states, he was giving it as the father of two young girls. >> right. >> and it touched all of us so much. and your cover this week, actually, a dork like jon meacham and myself will recognize, it's different than other person of the year photos. >> yes. >> covers. and it seems to reflect the time that we're in right now. >> yes. i mean, it's a somber and resolute president. it's a darkish picture. we used a silver border,

and joe almost hit me. i can't say on the interview the explete ives that he came out with but he was very upset and you didn't want to upset joe because he is a tough guy. i said don't worry about it, just a coincidence. eventually he calmed down and then we ran out of money and so we had to kidnap frank sinatra, jr. to get back to l.a. >> at 9:30 p.m. keenan and a nervous joe crept up to room 417 at harrah's' south lajeunesse. inside frank, jr. and the trumpeter had just finished dinner before that night's show. >> i raised my hand to knock on the door and joe yells no, barry, no! and i just looked at him and said, you know, that is why we're here and knocked on the door and frank sinatra said come in. >> he said he had a package for frank, jr. so he walked in and put the box down on the floor. and when straightened up took his glove off and he had a small revolver in his hand. >> i cocked it in front of his face and said nobody move and nobody will get h hurt. >> and at that point he made us go lie down

for a drill, joe, but for a chainsaw? i'm not convinced. >> batteries can run cars, for pete's sake. >> gasoline runs cars. >> o.k., it's time for our first test where i show lou just how wrong he is. >> yeah... let's just do this. >> yeah, let's do it.

because they know joe. they trust joe. joe's been with them. he's held them. he's cried with them after mining disaster. joe manchin is an american hero and a west virginiian hero. good luck telling they that joe is not tough on crime or wants to compromise your second amendment rights. good luck. not going to happen. >> uh-huh. go ahead, ratner. >> what makes this different and the more effective is there are other joe manchins and rockefeller and joe scarborough who are not left wing liberals and have credibility on this issue, and that may make it different this time. timing is the essence. we have to move quickly. >> i'm still waiting to hear a republican that's elected step out and say something like joe manchin said. i haven't heard it yet. i haven't heard anything from the republican party, and you just wonder this long after a mass killing like that, little 6 and 7-year-olds, that there's not a single republican in america in elected office that's not going to step up and say something? >> i think that says something in itself. >> i think it's time to

>> i agree, joe. i agree completely and he's at 76% in that state, and he'll probably beat cory booker and has a very good shot of being a wende wendell wilke, a very popular figure that could actually take on hillary clinton if she runs. >> a 72% approval rating in one of the reddest, mo pro-union states in america. that's defying political gravity. >> i think the fact that it's jersey has a lot more to do with whether it's blue or red. jersey, and the jersey boys about the four seasons and of course, you know, the boss and all that's going on right now. everything's about jersey for some reason because it's gritty, it's ethnic, it's italian, has a certain attitude, "the sopranos", that's the negative thing. but it's a gritty, ethnic thing coming on strong. when you ask somebody who says why do you send your kids to catholic school? he says what's your name? he gets the name and talks to them personally and says excuse me, it's none of your business. even if it is pushy, people like the authenticity

so look, i just believe that it's one of our rights and -- joe? >> i start with the belief that the second amendment actually does protect the right of individual americans to own guns, but in my opinion, it's no more unlimited than the right of free speech which has limits. so i've supported, for instance, bans on the automatic weapons and for a while we've been trying to close what's called the gun show loophole. if you go in a store, it's pretty regulated now, to buy a gun at a regular gun shop there's a check done on you and national computer file of criminal records or if you can mental health records or indications of violence. if you go to a gun show, you don't have to do that. that's a problem. it's even a problem related to homeland security because some terrorists have bought guns at those gun shows. so right of private ownership. but the government has a right to limit it. >> senator graham, here's where i come from all this. >> you come from england. >> a country of strict gun control. 35 to 40 gun murders a year. america has 11 to 12,

joe kennedy's father was not. and one of the reasons why joe himself didn't enter politics was that he was totally fed up with this irish catholic what he had seen as the dominant irish catholic posturing to the people, to the deer ris, you know? to the, you know, don't vote for that guy, he's not irish catholic. only an irish catholic can look after you. so said honeyfits and mayor curly, and they looked after their own pockets. >> any, um, any comments on the lobotomy story with his daughter rosemary being done so that she would not embarrass the kennedys and keep the boys from becoming president? >> yeah. um, i spent a lot of time, and i did an awful lot of research and found all sorts of stuff. no. i mean, you can blame kennedy for lots and lots and lots of stuff, but not for this. he loved that child. when he moved all the other children back to the united states when the french, when germany -- when world war ii began, he kept rosemary with him in england because she was doing really well at a school. and he

is on people like joe manchin, to actually do something. and the longer that we wait to have a task force and have recommendations and push something forward here in the state of the union, the less pressure there is going to continue to be. maybe i'm wrong, maybe this is a mounting wave. but based on what we've seen in past initiatives, there is an initiative to do something, and then the focus goes elsewhere. so i think the sooner they can put those recommendations out the better position we would actually be in. >> well, the problem is the calendar here and exactly where we are in it. the senate is not going to be in session. they have to get the next congress sworn in to session. all the new committees have to take their position, joe biden used to run the committee that has to handle this. that is why he is going to be in a position to have a great head start on it. but when the president says i want to start moving at the end of january at the latest. that is the earliest legislatively, that you could move. you have to get past inaugu

>> a couple things, joe. first of all, the revenue -- how you get the revenue but also the overall amount of revenue is very important. >> right. let's assume you get it the way you want. >> we want to build on the over $1 trillion in cuts we already agreed to as part of the budget control act. that was 100% cuts. we did that. the president's budget and his proposal calls for an additional $600 billion in cuts. he's actually specified what cuts those are. let me give you a fact i don't think many people know. if you look at the ten-year window on medicare savings, the president's budget has more savings in that ten-year window than the republican ryan budget did in that ten-year window. how does he do it? >> is that correct? >> not really. >> no, no. >> come on. >> in the ten-year window. >> my friend is trying to use cuts we already have again. i mean, how many times do you get to negotiate with a trillion dollars -- which i was proud to vote for. but look, senator coburn had it right. look at the dimensions

he's the prince of dubai, he's joe smith from ft. wayne, indiana, but a video on youtube brings them together. >>> you guys may remember this incredibly sad story of animal neglect. we brought the story to you a few months ago. lacy, molly and angus, three shih tzus. the owner pleaded guilty to six counts of animal neglect. the dogs couldn't see, they could hardly walk. here are the dogs now. these pictures provided by north news. the dogs all cleaned up, happy as can be and luckily have found permanent homes just in time for the holidays. each one of the dogs, lacy, angus and molly were all adopted to separate families. it took a little bit of time for the dogs to reacclimate to human care, they were obviously afraid, but the new owners all say they're loving, sweet dogs. >> these dogs go through horrendous abuse or neglect and end up being the friendliest, sweetest pets someone would want. >> you can't believe someone would let this precious, adorable little animal become that neglected mess. you can't imagine what kind of human be

>> no. >> both john and joe assured frank sane gninatra jr. as long cooperated he would keep them save from the higher ups. during that time they became close all three of them. >> 22 hours after his son was kidnapped frank sinatra got a call from the kidnapers who only told him junior was safe. at 11 in the morning they called again. he was instructed to go to a pay phone in carson city, nevada and await yet another call. dean nelson drove out to the gas station with sinatra. >> i kept telling them once we got them on the phone i want you to keep them on the phone as long as you can. >> to phratrace the call. >> they were able to trace the phone from los angeles and he did talk to frank to find out he was safe. they told us then that they wanted 240,000 dollars. >> sinatra was told the next call would come that night at ex-wife nancy a's home in bellaire, california. they chartered a plane back to la. in the coming days they turned the home into an fbi command center. tina who was 15 years old told fox files exclusively about the familiar lac

joe jr. was killed in a bomber and crashed. joe kennedy looks at him and said what was it all for? all we got now is the soviets dominating europe instead of the germans. we fought a war for this? >> did joe's outspokenness against world war ii make kennedy more of a hawk and jfk ending up being more of a hawk in response to his father? >> that's a great question. i don't know. i think part of what jfk does is follows his father. his father was an isolationist, but he was also in favor of huge military budgets to build up missile systems and every conceivable type of defense. first against the germans so they could never invade the united states and against the soviets. jack kennedy inherits this notion that we have to be strong and have a strong defense. >> interesting. >> yeah, absolutely. >> i could go on all day. this book looks like it's fascinating. joseph p kennedy, you talk about a rich tapestry of a biography that you got to dig into. i can't wait to dig into it. the book is called patriarch. check it out. first the white house soup of the day. we know you are asking. no h

and joe almost hit me. i can't say on the interview the explete ives that he came out with but he was very upset and you didn't want to upset joe because he is a tough guy. i said don't worry about it, just a coincidence. eventually he calmed down and then we ran out of money and so we had to kidnap frank sinatra, jr. to get back to l.a. >> at 9:30 p.m. keenan and a nervous joe crept up to room 417 at harrah's' south lajeunesse. inside frank, jr. and the trumpeter had just finished dinner before that night's show. >> i raised my hand to knock on the door and joe yells no, barry, no! and i just looked at him and said, you know, that is why we're here and knocked on the door and frank sinatra said come in. >> he said he had a package for frank, jr. so he walked in and put the box down on the floor. and when straightened up took his glove off and he had a small revolver in his hand. >> i cocked it in front of his face and said nobody move and nobody will get h hurt. >> and at that point he made us go lie down

so what do you do now, joe? >> i think we left out a little bit of the sound bite there that said first you play through the options market. then a couple days later i came back and said i was a lousy call. >> are you accusing us of taking something out of context? >> you would never do that. let me just say, it is a bad call and i actually believed that it would happen by thanksgiving. it has not. i want to credit pete an jerry who completely took the other side of it. he was correct. what do you do with best buy right now? you put it in the penalty box, unfortunately. i heat to use that term again but that's what you do. >> the best thing that could happen for potential buyers of best buy is they just wait and do nothing. it will keep getting cheaper and cheaper. i don't see any urgency. you're probably not in a great place for an imminent deal here if you're long. i think it is something you just watch from the sidelines. >> that means tomorrow a deal gets done. because we've basically said it's not. >> if so
