Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Fox Files 20130826

Great plains. 11 died. You believe she was never being held hostage. No. Why is this story still making headlines . Im oliver north. Im claudia cowen. Im arthele neville. Thats next on fox files. When you see the women fight. They usually steal the show. My idea is burn myself. Push myself. So there is nothing left. And the takedown by rousy. The number one thing i learned in judo, mma, is not to have any fear. The ufc or ultimate fighting championship has come a long way since its inception in 1993 when it was bought in 2001 by dana white, president of the ufc and his partners the fertita brothers. Congratulations on your first show. Got to feel good . Thank you, james. Fox files talked with dana about his success. You took over this company when it was in a serious financial hole. I scald called my partners. And a month later we own the company. How much did you purchase it for . 2 million. How much is it worth today . A lot more than 2 million. A lot more than 2 million is an understatement. Today the ufc brings in an estimated 600 million a year. And is worth over an estimated 2 billion. Recently they signed a lucrative broadcast deal with fox sports 1. The biggest sports franchise on earth. Most valuable. We are in 175 countries. 23 languages. 1 billion homes worldwide. Largest payperview provider in the world. This sport works everywhere. Dont care what color you are, what country, what language you speak. We are all human beings. Fight is in our dna. Like it. We keep talking mixed martial arts. Which fighting style was the best . Would a karate guy beat kung fu, boxer, beat a wrestler . The answer to the age old question is no one styled was the best. You had to have a little piece of everything to be a complete fighter. Talking boxing, kickboxing, wrestling. And any other martial art. Recently women have been brought into the ufc family theyre held to the rules and standard of the men. But a few years ago, tmz sports caught dana saying this. When will we see women in the ufc . Never. That guy was an idiot. Oh, wait, you said that. My bad. Sorry. Not only did i say they would not fight here. I stamped the never on there. You say that because . I saw a fight one time. It was a mismatch between two women. It completely turned me off to women fighting in mma. It is just a testament now to how much the sport has evolved that we can create an entire division in the ufc. Wasnt a sexist statement on your part . No. Everybody thought it was. Everybody would accuse me of that. But it was not sexist. No. Far from it. I amount farthest thing from that. Triple hip toss by rousy. Try to find as many as they want, to trade for me. But theyre not going to find anything like me. Fox files sat down with one of ufcs most dominating women fighters and 135 pound bantam weight champion, rowdy rhonda rousy, 70, all wins coming by arm bar in the first round. Im entirely emotionless. She is one of the most fierce competitors i have ever met, ever in boxing or mixed martial arts. That sense of competitiveness started at a young age. Growing up in north dakota, rhonda was a swimmer, but when she moved to l. A. , she took up judo. This was not without a built of resistance from her mother who just happened to be the First American World Champion in judo. She didnt want me to do it. She thought people would expect too much. She acquiesced. I had a knack for it. I was socially, shy. I, i didnt speak very much. And we moved to l. A. From north dakota. I had like a thick accent. I was like, oh, jeez, for petes sake. I love moving to new schools over there. Saint anns is such a nice place to go. I didnt fit in. And judo, really, forced me to be oneonone with the kid. I didnt have to say anything. Force me to be social. Judo would bring rhonda to the olympic stage where she was part of the 2004 and 2008 teams. She failed to medal in 2004. And was disillusioned by the life of an olympian. So after the 2004, olympics you ran away from home, i understand. Pretty much came done to, you know, everything that i did, every single day was dictated by another person. The week i turned 18. I packed up all my stuff. Just went up. Off across the country. Thought i was going to get a job at a Convenience Store and go to Community College or something. While in upstate new york, rhonda maintained a rigorous training regiment. Stayed away from restrictive life of coaches and supervised practice thousands. I ended up moving to chicago for a while. I had no real coaches. No one was really coaching me. So i ended up having like one of the best years ever. Won the world cup, and we hadnt had an American Woman do that in nine years. I was actually making a little money. Fortunately she had a change of heart and decided to give the olympics one more try. It went way belter the second time around. Bronze is way better than nothing at all, right . Yep. Didnt you think . Definitely is. It is very bumpy, bumpy path. That bumpy path led rhonda to being the First American to medal in judo. Along the way she picked up the taste for mixed martial arts. What point did you say, i want in . My judo teammates started to get into watching mma. Little fight nights. They would get together and watch the fights that they were on. And one of them. I saw, gina and julie fight. And i thought i could beat both those girls. I could be doing that right now. But i didnt want to say it. I was in the middle of an olympic run. Everyone would turn on me and call me an idiot. To this day i havent gotten a bruise from getting hit in a fight. Coming up, meet the one fighter and marine who changed that. People come up to me at parties all the time and ask, do i really need to add downy every time . And i say, yes. You really do. [ sniffs ] just toss downy unstopables in before the wash. Then pour downy infusions right in here for scented softness that helps reduce pilling, fading, static, plus fresh scents that last up to 12 weeks. Thats as long as bears hibernate. Sure, you could go without it, but do you really want to be that person . Downy unstopables and downy infusions in every wash. Youll be unstopable. In every wash. Were new to town. Ells.

Clean with the scent of gain. That combines irresistible scent and powerful cleaning. And his lemonscented antibacterial spray that kills 99. 9 of bacteria. People sure loved having something that smelled as great as it cleaned. Thats why when it comes to clean, theres only one mr. How do you feel in general about women being a part of the ufc . I think its great. Having women fighter how do you feel about women being part of the ufc . Women have the same opportunities that men do. I mean, theyre just as skilled. I was looking for a sense of direction. I wanted something that had discipline. Liz carmoucho was grew up in japan. She followed in hr fathers footsteps and wasnt military. Any bran of the military. Best of the best. The most challenging one. Marine corps. How many tours of duty . Three tours to iraq. Which years . 06, 08, 09. During her last tour in iraq, her friends introduced liz to the hard hitting world of mixed martial arts. You know what i like it. I dont just focus on one art. I want to be the best fighter to. Be that engaged an involved. A game of chess that i could push myself to. This is a machine. A gear that she has that other human beings dont possess. When she turns the gear on. She leaves everybody in the dust. So when did you first take your official lesson. My First Official lesson, the day back from iraq. First day, sparring, bloody nose. Tank top ripped, bra ripped. Beaten up. Okay, im look hooked. I want to do this. To confirm. With a girl . Only men. Holy smokes. They showed you no mercy. Not at all. Ooh have seen grown men that are professionals in mma, come in. She serves them look theyre children. Leaves everybody crying. Within six month shes became a pro. And within eight months she was fighting for the world title. So she is, really good. On february 23rd. 2013, lizs hard work paid off. She became a part of history. She earned the chance to fight the champion, Rhonda Rousey in the firstever womens title fight. And she would be doing it as the the ufcs first openly gay fighter. She had Rhonda Rouseys back. To this day i still havent gotten a single bruise from getting hit in a fight. Knock on wood. I did get a bruise from liz carmoucho giving me the cross face. That was it. How did you feel when you didnt come out with the w. I did the best i could do. But i wanted more. Of course i want to go out and win. That was the dream. I wasnt going in and wanting to be a part of history. No, i wanted to make history. I want to come out there with the title. Not having that is kind of a check for me. But it made me work that much harder. Liz was a good fight, huh . Great fight. I would not be surprised if she put another string together and came back for more. For a title against you . You never know. A crazy sport. That would be good. I would love it. I would love it. Liz may make the prediction come true. July 27, 2013 in her second ufc fight, liz fought the brazilian contender and beat her with a ground and pound game. This is where carmouche shines. As both women make headlines, Rhonda Rouseys next challenge one of the first women to coach the reality show the ultimate fighter against her most hated rival, misha tate. I knew they were going to set me up with something. I was coaching and, not fighting. Extremely emotionally taxing. I care a lot about every single one of these kids on the team. Its their whole lives on the line. Its the whole world to them. And they would be disrespectful for them not to take it just as seriously. What can we expect for the season. I give a slogan, i call mishas team fake nice. And ous team real mean. About the team or you and misha . Nor me and misha. A team show. Were calling it team, okay. We need to have a sense of camaraderie on team rowdy. Team real mean. And some like people they dont like it. They dont like people belg being upfront and honest, its not nice and not polite. Their rivalry comes to a head this december when rhonda and misha will be fighting for the title. Are you going to take on rhonda and take her down this time . Hell yeah. December 28th. Everybody watch. Fantastic fight. Felt first time i was really come pet tichlt i got arm barred. I am on a mission i will not get arm barred. She is going down. She knows it. Oh, i just, i wish it was tonight. I do. I wish it was. But, alas, what makes you a professional is to beat somebody up at a certain day and certain weight. Otherwise we would just be brawlers.

We continue to have challenges. Tasked with an end to the combat role in afghanistan after 12 years. Whats not changed is the will of the coalition. The mission for joe dunford is monumental. He works around the clock and is constantly on the move. Throughout afghanistan. Im general joe dunford. At nato supreme headquarters in belgium. I look forward to working with general dunford. And the nations capital, washington, d. C. Whats your view, general . What is your number . Senator, i am not going to give you a number. Dunford follows high profile generals who held the post. In april, 2013, he took command of all u. S. And nato troops in afghanistan. Known as the International Security Assistance Force or isaf. We traveled to the battlefield to hear from the general firsthand . Give me your sense of what victory is in this fight . Well win when the Afghan Security forces are capable of providing security here in afghanistan. What we are frying trying to do ensure never again can afghanistan be used as a sanctuary. He enjoys a good reputation. General jack keen served 47 years in the u. S. Army. He has been in combat. He is well known inside marine cor corps. Dunford earned the neck naic fighting joe. You and i first other on the we to a place called baghdad. Thats exactly right. Where did you have your First Contact. We had the First Contact after crossing the line. Give us a sense how different this mission is when we first met. The geography is much more after iraq, dunford moved up in rank to fourstar general. In october, 2012, president obama nominated him to lead the u. S. And nato effort in afghanistan. And his confirmation hearing on capitol hill he spoke about the support he receives on the home front. Joining me today my wife ellen. I am very fortunate to have her love and support. She is a great mother to our three children and serves as a tireless add ve cvocate. She is unkequestionably the mos valuable player in our family. She introduced me to him because she knew we had grown up in the same area. Both joe duchnford and his we ellen have deep roots in boston. He was born in south boston. Moved to quincy, massachusetts at age 12. The couple met in washington, d. C. He was a young marine captain. As for ellen. I had come down here and working as a physical therapist. I was taking a course at George Washington university. Ellens roommate invited me over. The three of us had dinner one saturday night. I think two weeks later i asked her out on a date. When you brought him home for the first time and said i am going to marry this marine, what was your family reaction . A local boy had gun to the same high school, garage graduat graduated. They began a live together serving our nation. Goes back generations in both their families. Ellen, tell me about this footlocker. His grandfathers world war i trunk. We have his picture here. Then his father served in korea. He was with the first battalion, fifth marines. Fought at seoul. Didnt talk much about it. Clearly the heroen my life was my dad. The shot of joes dad and the Police Uniform . His father retooired from Boston Police after a 40 odd year history. From the frying pan into the policeman. Your family in here too . My father was a world war ii vet. Served in the army. In 2011, the president announced all u. S. Combat forces would withdraw from afghanistan. By 2014 this process of transition will be complete. Now the weight of carrying out that decision is squarely on the shoulders of general duch dunford. 18, june this year he delivered an important milestone. After ten years of the coalition leading combat operations in afghanistan we are in a supporting effort. To the general, the great challenge today is how to train, advise and assist the afghanistan Security Forces as they carry the fight to the enemy all on their own. Woo have grown a force from, the very small force. Almost 352,000. The size of the Security Forces. We have a training mission. Carried out by afghan whose are trained by american advisers. The commander of the afghan air swing gave me his assessment. We are very happy from all our advisers, especially from our american advisers. We make great stride with that. I have seen that myself. After the mission is done. Afghan forces will be capable of dealing with the threat inside of afghanistan. Dunford is responsible for what happens to millions of pieces of u. S. Equipment, now in the war zone. Its return, retrograde estimated at 6 billion. A lot of concern. A lot of expensive stuff will be left behind that the afghans cant use, fact or fikttioction . Only equipment we leave behind is equipment the afghans can use. That doesnt mean this isnt a real challenge, it is. The real challenge, what kind of equipment will we leave. What is the size of the north that we are going to leaf to help support them. We are going to provide commitment to the afghan people. After 2014. Ten years ago, on another hot and dusty battlefield, fighting joe duchnford told me what motivates him. A commitment to those with whom he serves. I would want to be remembered. I was looking out for them. I admire the way my husband has been able to be faithful to the people he serves with. I am very proud to serve with you. Extraordinary military force. I have never seen throughout my entire understanding of ml terry history, where so few are doing so much for so many and for such an extended period of time. Dunford is well aware of the sacrifices made by americas military families. For the many, many years that i have served in the marine corps and raised our children and all the times, and there was no insignificant amount that was absorbed by ellen. I think he has done a very good job of trying to be a father. Be a husband. Be a good marine and good citizen in this country. One of your Division Commanders out here happens to be from your neighborhood back in massachusetts. He described you as one of the best of the best of quincy, massachusetts. Is this a boston mafia over here . I dont think it is a boston mav yeah. Mafia. It is not boston mafia. It is well represented. I would make a similar claim about the world series in 2013. Pretty confident the Boston Red Sox will win. Coming up [ female announcer ] pop in a whole new kind of clean with tide pods. Three chambs. Three times the stain removal power. Pop in. Stand out.

Forest service says it is a top priority to keep a Massive Wildfire from moving further into yosemite park. The fire covers 210 square miles. The size of the city of chicago. Strong wind in the forecast tonight which will make it tougher to fight. It is so big outlying areas are seeing ash fall like snowflakes. Now back to fox files. Charles starkweather and his girlfriend, two teenagers who bring a chill to lincoln and the nearby Farming Community of bennett. In january of 1958, the two left a bloody trail of terror on the great plains. To this day, the mystery continues. Was 14yearold Carol Ann Fugate, Charlie Starkweathers hostage . Or willing participant . You believe she was never a hostage . Yes. She had nothing to do with it. Do you think lincoln will forget Charlie Starkweather . In 1958, dell harding was a reporter for the lincoln star, earning 70 a week. What was the time like before the murders happened . It was a great time. And a great place to grow up. Dennis carnoff group in lincoln during the 1950s. He was the son of Lancaster County sheriff, merle carnoff along with his mother, gertrude, they maintained living quarters in the county jail. A tough, mean guy. Two years ahead of me in school. But he was 4 years older than i was. So that suggests something about how i did in school. The starkweather family consisting of six boys and one girl were a rough bunch. They were a rough, pretty tough, probably scrambling to make a living, i think they were, at the time they were in the, in the business. Hollywood was beginning to pay a lot of attention to juvenile delinquency, Charlie Starkweather fancied himself a young version of james dean. He was not very tall, kind of huskey, redheaded, bowlegged. People called him redheaded woodpecker. Teased in school. Not too many people i think teased him. He would start a fight at the drop of a hat. He hated people. And he used that as an excuse to say this is why i hate people. Because they were mean to me. Linda batiste is a lawyer and coauthor of the twelth victim. He used that to fuel the hate he had already into more hatred. But there was one person the 18yearold starkweather didnt hate. He had eyes for a spunky and rebellious 13yearold named Carol Ann Fugate. He became intrigued with carolyn. She was with him too. He was so funny. Put me on a pedestal. He always wanted to buy me things. The two cruised around lincoln in char lows 49 ford hot rod, charlie was a crack shot and into guns. Carols parents didnt like him one bit. They werent impressed with him as a person. They were concerned about the age difference between them. This empty lot in the low income belmont section is all that remains of where carol was living at the time with marion bart let, a night watchman, and 36yearold mother velda. Also living there was her 2 1 2yearold half sister, betty jeanne. Charlie quit high school. But he hated working menial jobs which included a stint as a garbage man. After getting fired and having a fight with his father, he was kicked out of the house. Charlie was desperate for money. Located here on cornhusker highway, this used to be a crest gas station that charlie used to like to hang around. In the Early Morning hours, december 1, 1957, there was only one emplumeroyee working, starkweather robbed him and then forced him at gun point to drive them both to a secluded area. He came in and robbed culvert. Took him out on the road and killed him. And the speculation is that he did so to get money so he could buy things for carol. Do we know how much money he got from Robert Culver . Under 100. Charlie saw himself as a genuine outlaw. But what happened after the murder is where our story becomes murky and mired in controversy. He began telling carol, its just you and me. We have got to go away together. At this point had she started to feel suffocated by him. She told hem not to call her anymore. She did. January 21, 1958, knowing what happened at the bartlet home in belmont on the cold winter day depend on who you believe. One thing is known for sure. Carols step farther and mother had been shot and stabbed to death. 2 1 2yearold betty jeanne was bludgeoned with a rifle and stabbed with a knife. 14yearold carol came home from school to find starkweather in her home pointing a shotgun at her with her family nowhere in sight. In this exclusive 19 89 interview, the then 46yearold Carol Ann Fugate deskrebd what next. He shoved the gun in my face. And had me sit in the rocking chair. He told me at the time my family was at this womans house. If i did what i was told they wouldnt be hurt. All he had to do and make a phone call they would die. A shotgun blast can cause a lot of damage. There would be blood everywhere. Apparently he was able to clean it all up before she came home. Yes, he was. How is this possible . He had two hours to clean it up. The three body having been dumped in two shed in the backyard went undiscovered for nearly a week as carol and charlie remained in the house. But reporter dell harding who visited the crime scene still does not believe carols story. I think charlies story, got in an argument with the step farther. Escalate from there. Enned up shooting the step farther. Her mother ran in, screaming. He then killed her mother. In your view, carol ann was there and watching awful this and knew exactly what was happening to her family . Yes. No doubt in my mind. It is not true. Its not true. Various people came to the home looking for charlie. Trying to reach out to Carol Ann Fugates mother. And her demeanor was very odd. Mrs. Bartlets mother wanted to get in the house. Carol said were all sick. Go away. Carol had a sign on the door. Stay out, everybody sick with the flu. It was signed ms. Bartlet. The only ms. Bartlet in her house was her almostyearold sister who couldnt read or write yet. That was her sign. Gee, maybe somebody will figure this out and ask for do something. Because i am afraid to do something. Other family members and the Lincoln Police stopped by during the week. But carol talked them out of coming inside. On monday, january 27th. Carols grandmother finally had enough. She yelled at carol that she was returning with the police and a search warrant. Charlie decided it was time to hit the road. With carol. Hours later when the body of marion, velda and betty jeanne were discovered an all points bulletin. I swashear i never killed anyone. I only went because i had no choice she said she is being taken hostage. He says she came along willinstory. I dont believe she was ever a hostage at the bartlet house or any time there after. Coming up the bloodbath continues. You cant go to school like this, cmon. Dont do it no mom vo you never know what lifes gonna throw at you.

After fleeing the after fleeing the residence, charlie and carol ann headed 20 miles south in charliesford to small town of bennett, stopping at the farmhouse of august meier. Family friend. Knows charlie since he was a boy. What do they do to him . Charlie claimed that august meier came to the door carrying a gun. And so charlie supposedly felt threatened at shot him. I think he looked for an excuse to kill him. The coldblooded killing. I think now he has killed. I know what he is capable of. I am going, whoa. You know the i am going to be very careful. And dont cross him. Because if he could wipe out this mans life, what dud could do to me . After blasting away august meier, starkweather got his car stuck in the mud outside meiers farm. Walking along the dark highway, the two were spotted by two popular bennett teenagers, 17yearold Robert Jenson and 16yearold carol king. In a fateful decision, jenson offered them a ride. Wasnt long before starkweather had them at gun point in the back seat. Their bloody bodies were found in a dank storm cellar near august meiers farm. Jenson had been shot six times in the head. King once. Her partially nude body had also been sexually mutilated. You saw the storm cellar . Yes, a terrible sight. I can close my eyes and seep i today. Those two kids bodies face down in the storm cellar both shot to death. And carol mutilated. Carol ann fugate admits she did hold a gun on the couple at one point and took 4 out of johnsons wallet an act that would later cost her dearly. She claims she did it at starkweathers command. January 27th. With six people murdered, charlie and carol drove back into lincoln in jensons car. And parked in the wealthy Country Club Section of town and slept inside the car. The next morning they cruised around the neighborhood looking for a police to hide out. Dumped jensons car and get a new one. They end up at a house that he became familiar with while he worked on the trash route. This is the home stark weather chose to hide out in. Owned by wealthy and well respected 47yearold businessman, c. Lower ward and wife clara. Carol ann waited in the car in the rear of the driveway. Inside were 46yearold clara ward and 51yearold maid, lillian fencil. Armed with guns and a knife. Char low and carol ann terrorized the women for nearly ten hours. What happened at this house . That is a matter of dispute. Only thing not disputed three people were killed. Mr. Ward, his wife and their maid. Carols story is that charlie killed them all. Char low charlies story is carol ann assisted in the knifings of the two women. Charlie wrestled with mr. Ward when he came home from work in the afternoon and charlie shot mr. Ward. While the murders were happening at the ward house, august meier, Robert Jenson and carol king were discovered in bennett. Everybody immediately knew who did it. Charlies car was stuck in the mud at the meier house. Bob jensons car was gone. I mean, you put two and two together and figure it out. That night, charlie and carol got into the 1956 packard and begin to head west to starkweathers brothers home in washington state.
