twitter isn't the only stock to do that this year. coming up, we'll name names and tell you what this could all mean for another huge ipo. stay tuned for that. >> we were taking bets on where it will price. see how all that shakes out. it turns out that it is not true that the so-called wealthy pay the most income tax in america. jane wells has learned that they pay all the income tax. 106% of income taxes. you heard that right. they pay more than 100%. how is that possible? stay tuned for this stunning report. >> and let's check the markets right now. the final hour of the day, pretty much a down day across the board for the major averages. the dow jones is actually an outperformer helped by mastercard. helped by home depot as well in there but down about 87 points at the moment. the nasdaq is still off. clutching that 4,000 level. the s&p 500 has shed 15 points and got below 1790 as we speak. >> maryann bartels from merrill lynch, adam thurgood and done shriver from wbmi funds. what do we make of what's gone on in the markets the last couple of days? made a lot of money this year, we're exiting a little bit before the end of the year? >> you may be seeing hedge funds, we're certainly seeing hedge funds take some money off the table. if you look at short positions in the dow, in the diamonds and the sem conductor etf, there's very big short positions. so those are being used as hedges. obviously the market's been overbought. there's a lot of concern about tapering, but really when you look at the markets from the longer term perspective, the fundamentals, all the technical, it does argue we'll see higher highs in the market. >> you think without the fed markets here are 25% to 50% lower. are you serious? >> oh, yeah, because the correlation between fed action and their balance sheet and equity prices is at 0.93 right now, which means there's a near one to one connection or correlation between what they want to buy, when they buy it and how equity prices move. >> wait a minute. that's a very different thing from saying this market would drop 50% tomorrow if the fed weren't involved. >> the structural imbalances in our economy are very serious. if the fed steps back and pulls out of its tapering entirely, not the $10 a month, but if they step back, the markets are 25% below, because they spent all these years injecting. >> maybe if they removed everything at the drop of a dime. >> exactly. >> tomorrow given the current state of the economy, sure, but let's be realistic. that ain't going to happen. and when it ultimately does happen, we have to believe that the economy is going to be in a place where it can be sustainable and handle any sort of complete punch bowl being removed, right? >> i would agree with that. but i would counsel say never say never, especially in this market. we didn't think stimulus would work, we didn't think t.a.r.p. would work. yet they have, the economy's continuing to bounce forward. and the fed is driving liquidity to the point where the equity markets are going. you have to be a reluctant bull or a cautious bull before the tape is going to bend. >> this is one of the stronger ones we've seen in the last century. do you agree with keith that there are now major, major risks? >> i think there are major risks because the economy is still trying to recover from the financial crisis. you know the fed has done what they can. i think there's a lot of emphasis placed on taper a little bit too early in our economic cycle. just the economy's got to get to an inflection point of 3% gdp growth or better for it to start to really heal itself and the whole world is really dependent on the u.s. continuing to have easy monetary policy. i think that there would be a pullback and certainly we might not be as well off as we are if the fed hadn't done what they did. so we do have some concern about the market. normally low interest rate environment is great and investors should look to party during that period of time. but i think there should be some caution here. >> adam, russell 2000 falling below its 50-day average on an intra-day basis. small caps often lead on the way up, often lead on the way down. concerning or not? >> i don't think it's too concerning, yet. obviously if you see more momentum to the down side, you have to be concerned about that, but i want to go back to the prior guest's point. i don't think that the market is going to tumble if the fed pulls back on tapering, it's indicative of a stronger economy and that's good for stock prices long term. and i don't believe -- >> i hope you're right. >> i don't believe that the fed's message has been all that constructive. i mean, think about what they're saying, they're saying, hey, the economy's too weak to stand on its own. if you're a business leader, you're saying that the economy's too weak to stand on its own. so i believe if the fed were to come out with the strongly positive statement and stay we are going to taper in a meaningful way because we believe the economy's going to markedly improve, that can have a profound impact on market activity. >> rick santelli, i wonder how you read this because it's got complications for tnot just for stock market here. >> you don't believe na the fed's making all the difference and you think that their words will make all the difference. keith's words are still ringing in my ears! keith, you get the big prize of the day. >> thank you. >> because judge, your comment to him is the most interesting point to the day, though. you said well, not like they're going to stop on a dime. so what you're saying is you completely agree that a lot of this is faux and it's how they remove the training wheels. >> it's not faux. >> but that's huge. five years after a crisis, five years after -- if it isn't faux, it goes straight. >> it is what it is, right? >> it's fantasy land economics. >> it's faux, faux, faux, fee, fi, faux. if you look today, fives were up, tens the were up. the world is nervous because steve liesman says the end is coming sooner rather than later. it changed. a few months ago, it was riding pretty high. watch the dollar index. >> no one will suggest that it's not a liquidity driven real. >> so then faux economy, it isn't the economy, it's liquidity. that's all i'm saying. >> you have to respect the improving fundamentals of the economy. if you don't want to give the fed credit you don't have to. >> it really isn't about giving anybody credit. it's that i would like to live in a free economy, f-r-e-e, not subsidized economy. >> yea, now it's my turn. absolutely. free economy, free markets and free decisionmaking. i would love to see economy that's justified by the fundamentals that are attached to it. i would love to see the fed step out of the way and actually take responsible financial action like giving the markets the impetus they need as opposed to stimulus that politically they want. >> this indicates why this is the most indicated market rally. >> when i get this push back with taper, the fed and it's all faux, give me a time in history where the fed has not influenced our economy or has not influenced our markets? >> probably only before 1997. >> exactly. what we fear is the unknown because we've never seen the fed act in this way. we've never seen a balance sheet like this. not just here in the united states. the bank of england has a balance sheet. the ecb is still building a balance sheet, now the bank of japan building a balance sheet. there's not a textbook in the world that says how this will end. this can create voltity in 2014, we have that as a risk. whether the fed miscommunicate, whether the market misunderstanding it. because we have the vix, we think corporates are going to spend, so that's how we're getting the markets higher next year. >> and i would echo on that that the economy has not performed the same way as the stock market, there's no question that the fed's actions have improved stock, but from an economic perspecti perspective, i'm not sure that at this time's done a lot. >> you can be a market bull and an economic bear. that's the bifurcation going on right now. you have huge swaths of americans that are hurting. you have diminished sales. >> people that are hurting the most aren't really benefiting, though, not where i see it anyway. the people that are hurting the worst probably don't have a big stock portfolio. >> agreed, rick, agreed. >> if you want the fed to back out, you have to get fiscal policy on the same page with the fed -- >> if you want fiscal policy, you have to get the parents that think they know everything to let the kids do it on their own. >> there you go. >> maybe congress would get off of their butts if they don't have a pick set by the federal reserve. >> and they got to stop worrying about re-election. >> thanks for the perspectives from all of you, really appreciate it. 50 minutes to go before the closing bell. >> the dow jones industrial average is down 86 points, materials is one of the points of weakness, today along with number of other sectors. >> and mastercard one of the bright spots after announcing a 10 for 1 stock split and a huge buy back in the dividend program. one of the best financial performers of the year. coming up, if you want to be able to buy more with your mastercard, you should buy mastercard stock, and yes, even at these levels. >> bernie madoff was arrested five years ago today. have his victims recovered in that time?

>> correct. >> madoff trustee irving picard and his counsel david sheehan are responsible for rounding up and distributing the money. >> we understand that people thought they were making mon moneyand that's what they thought they were getting paid. >> i'm sure if you asked people who got other money from other people that they felt were profits, that they felt the others who didn't get their money back should get their money back, i'm sure they'd agree they should. >> picard and his team recovered 9.5 billion out of $17 billion. and they're optimistic they'll recover everything. less clear is the fate of thousands like daphne and mark, who lost $4 million through a madoff feeder fund and have to rely on recoveries by the justice department. >> it felt like quicksand. >> we were in the funds because of actions of family and family friends. and there's a certain level of trust there that was violated. >> it was supposed to protect us, the sec was supposed to protect us, nobody protected the small investors. >> this is president of cipc. should people be concerned that this is a game? >> the fact of the matter is if you allow what is owed by people to be judged by the last imaginary statement that bernard madoff pulled out of thin air, then you're letting the thief determine who wins and who loses. >> legislation is pending in congress to reform sipc, but he says that would have enormous n unintended consequences. picard said he's on track to make returns to investors every few months. tonight on cnbc prime some of the best reporting out there. >> scott cohn, while we've got you, do you remember where you were when that news broke, what your reaction was? >> i remember that, like a lot of us, i didn't know who bernie madoff was. it was a name that you heard kind of in passing over the years. he obviously was a big deal on wall street, but not somebody who was a big publicity seeker. so the name didn't stick out, but the money certainly did. right away we're hearing $50 billion ponzi scheme, actually 65 billion on paper. in the midst of everything we were dealing with was mind boggles. >> i do wreb where i was. >> where? >> i was a nasdaq reporter. i was sitting in my office at the nasdaq when the news broke. like scott, madoff wasn't a familiar name to me. the number was certainly astounding. and then sort of when i learned that he was a former nonexecutive chairman of the nasdaq, pick up the phone, try to make a lot of phone calls, try to find out exactly who this guy was, how long was heed a nasdaq, a memorable day in that aspect. >> we were so focused on whether the lines would be on the next day in the economy because this was the very height of the financial cries and what's interesting to me is at the time, 50 billion seemed like we don't have time to talk about that right now, we're talking about a 15, $16 trillion economy and we're not sure how it would close business every day. >> that economic crisis that ultimately would have brought him down. you wonder if he would have kept going if the economy kept going? he was supposedly the only one making any money. >> right. >> if you needed to get some money out you make the money out of madoff and that's what brought it all down. >> happens never financial crisis. scott cohn, great reporting following this as well. >> i caught up with somebody else from the crisis period today that we've never heard from on cnbc. the former co-president of merrill lynch. a lot of people have sort of pointed the finger at him for a sizable part of merrill lynch's near demise. he now runs a restaurant group and a very profitable and successful restaurant group with 13 restaurants. >> and he left merrill when? >> many, many years ago. he had said in a print interview that i saw at one point that he had regrets about the situation. so i asked him about what sort of personal responsibility he felt for merrill's problems. >> it was a regretful period. we all have things we would have done differently. certainly with more information, i might have known or others, you know, you would have made different decisions that would have been different for the shareholder and the clients, hindsight is 2020 these have thousands of people in audit, hundreds of people in risk and in compliance and still things ultimately happen. >> that's ahmass. interesting to hear from him, five years after the crisis on what role, if any, he thinks he directly played in what happened at merrill. >> there are plenty pointing to the team that was around as personally being responsible as opposed to being a systemic or corporate wide issue. that debate will continue. >> a lot of people made a lot of mistakes. >> now he's reinvented himself away from wall street. >> and quite successfully. >> the dow is now down 113 or 0.7%. the size of losses greater than the other indexes. mastercard, visa, i'm sorry, mastercard home depot are helping to offset. >> the lows of the day. as kelly just said, mastercard shares are charging higher after its big stock split dividend buy back announcement but is it time to take some profits?

let's brawl it out. he sees strong tail winds while up capital management says it's already gone too far too fast. anton, clearly management doesn't think so. >> yeah, so, the stock has been a great story. up 80% in two years. 100% dividend increase last year. 100% dividend increase april of this year, now another 83%. that's great for shareholders but the topic on hand now is what do new investors do? is it now time to get into the stock? and we're seeing a lot of high valuation, it has a trailing 12-month p/e of 25. it is only 25%. you'll be buying this stock more for appreciation. investors need to look at this stock with the run-up it's had, meteoric. we'll see if it continues to go. >> anton, just to be clear, do you like mastercard? would you buy mastercard or no? >> so at this point i would be not buying mastercard. there's two issues that i have with mastercard. you look at its fourth quarter earnings in the last three years has always been its lowest earnings. they make their announcements in january. also, it's dividend announcement that id made last year in april, the stock sagged nor five months after that. i would be paying attention, i would be looking at the stock very carefully, i wouldn't be buying it at this point. >> jason, i think anton makes a pretty interesting and compelling point here. when he makes the distinction between new and existing investors in this name, if you're an investor in the name already, what do you do with it? do you take some profits? >> well, thanks for having me, first of all. we buy more, actually. this is the best fundamental story that we cover in the space. we have tremendous secular tail winds globally that are not abating, we have incredibly powerful modes here that make the entry extremely high. no company we cover that has such highly visible eps growth, up in the 20% range. and so when you step back and you look at the valuation, yes it's trading north of 20 times, modestly north, if we look at forward estimates, but what other stock deserves a peg multiple, p/e relative to the growth than mastercard? so we're keeping on buying this stock. >> and jason, an interesting point and one that, again, and there's perhaps a distinction here between the retail guy that might feel comfortable with the shares here and whether mastercard itself should be buying back shares on the premise or indication that they're undervalued because we're talking about currently 25 times the 2014 earnings projections which are already 17% higher than what mastercard is expected to make this year. >> yes. >> so there's a lot priced in here. the stock has run up considerably, why is that a shareholder friendly move to use some of the cash to pay a higher price for those shares? >> mastercard has tremendous confidence in their long-term business for good reason. we think there will be considerable up up side, meaning the p/e multiple are not as high as they rape appear on paper. when you have no debt to repay, no real need to do major acquisitions return to cash to shareholders as well as dividends to enhance the yield makes complete sense in our view. >> anton, if not mastercard, who? i mean, do you like visa which has liked mastercard on a year-to-year basis pretty considerably? >> that's a great point. but look at the chart of visa versus mastercard, visa has been underperforming mastercard, but they've caught up to each other in the last 30 days. visa has a an earns per share trailing of 7.6%, a dividend yield that's almost three times mastercard and it's been on a tear the last 90 days catching up to mastercard on a two-year return. you take a look at the two of them, the other thing that's been talked about, the federal reserve's announcements next week. both these companies are very consumer dependent. and right now we're in a situation where the economy is just barely moving along. it's dependent on the federal reserve. if we see changes in monetary poll sis and consumers stop spending both of these companies may be at risk. >> we got to leave it there. i understand that that's a point of debate on the consumer spending side, but i want to get further down that worm hole, guys. thank you both for being here. scott, whether this is the most shareholder friendly thing to buy eps. but i'll leave it there. dow, look at this. coming in half hour before the closing bell, down near the session lows, down about 120 points, 19 off the s&p 500, the nasdaq currently 6 points above that 4000 mark. >> here's a breath of fresh air, lawmakers in washington working together to get a budget deal done before another government shutdown, but the details of the agreement could signify something very important about our economy. if you think rich americans pay most of the nation's income taxes, think again, they actually pay all of them and then some. jane wells explains how on earth they can pay 106%, yes, 106%, of the nation's income tax ♪ ♪ listen to the money talk see, i knew testosterone could affect sex drive, but not energy or even my mood. that's when i talked with my doctor. he gave me some blood tests... showed it was low t. that's it. it was a number.

>> well, i get the sense that enough on the left and right sides of the two parties will sign off on this, but there's been some flack. we saw some last night when marco rubio, the republican in the senate who wants to run for president in 2016, came out and said he was opposed to the deal. the clubs for growth said they're against it. they said they would score it which is important for their supporter opposition and primaries in particular as well as general elections. john boehner, the house speaker, called it a modest deal last night. diplomat like that at all. he blasted back. >> you mean the groups that came out and opposed it before they ever saw it? they're using our members and they're using the american people for their own goals. this is ridiculous. listen, if you're for more deficit reduction, you're for this agreement. >> that is significant pushback from the house speaker. now we've seen that house leaders have overestimated their ability to pass legislation, but people on both sides have told me they believe they will get enough of the republican caucus and democratic caucus to pass it in the house this week and in the senate early next week. but we'll see when they have to put the votes up on the board. >> that's for sure. john, in new york, stay right there, by the way, on this point we want now to bring in maya maginnis joining us from the nation's capital. what's your take on this agreement? >> i keep reminding myself, baby steps, baby steps. this is a congress that hasn't been able to put into place a budget in a long time or do anything in a bipartisan manner. this deal is well short of the big deal we need with entitlements and taxes but a step in the right direction. just to have republicans and democrats working together and confronting some of these hard choices, not the real hard ones, but some of them is something we need to start getting in the habit of again. i think it's very important that we move forward on this and keep working on these issues to confront the larger deals as quickly as possible. >> you say baby steps, that may be generous. seems like even maybe a baby crawl, right? does this seem to you as though it does anything other than avert a shutdown? i mean, there's no dealing with entitlements, there's no talk about new taxes or anything like that. >> it absolutely leaves out the biggest issues that we have to deal with on health care spending, on the aging of the population, on reforming our tax code, raising revenues, it doesn't do any of the real hard issues, but it does, as you said, avert a government shutdown. doesn't deal with the debt ceiling. we still have to confront that, but it takes a step in rationalizing some of our policy choices. keep in mind the sequester was always put in place because it was so dumb we wouldn't let it hit. this will replace some of those spending cuts with more sensible savings and some that will generate longer term savings into beyond a second decade not really enough to make a real difference, bau start, a little start. >> scott, yes? >> think in terms of our washington redskins. if you put in place a regulation that insured the team would stop fumbling, stop throwing interceptions and stop getting the quarterback sacked is, no that would not move the ball down the field very far, but a heck of a lot better than what you've been doing. what dong is congress is doing s deal is take a no harm approach, not subjecting markets and businesses to the uncertainty about shutdowns and debt crises. that is a positive in and of itself given how badly washington's performed. i don't think we should lose sight of that even as maya said the kind of deal she's been looking for for some time is still years away. >> that's a fair point. john, did i pointed that you had to bring our redskins into it. disappointing enough, but it is what it is. we have a market that's in the midst of a pretty big sell-off. maya macguineas, thank you for being here. the s&p 500 is off almost 20 points now. so we have a sizable sell-off across the board. >> yeah, that's right. one we haven't had for some time. just a couple of quotes to put this in context. the fiscal drag will move to zero, monetary policy won't be able to hide. that's the kind of rhetoric we got on the details on the bupt agreement, even if it doesn't do anything dramatic. >> one of the key issues in asking the question we did network wide yesterday whether the crisis trade was over, this plays into it, right, that they at least are willing to have a budget deal to avert another shutdown. so it's check the box of another positive for the stock market, we'll see what the lasting impact of it is. it does pay to read the fine print. >> that's just what jane wells did when a congressional budget report landed on her desk and she found stunning information on who is really paying income tax in america. jane? >> guys, inside this mind numbing report on tax burdens from the cbo this week is a nugget on page 13. the cbo broke the country up into five tiers of wage earners. each group's share of individual income taxes, the top two groups of wage earners there at the bottom, add those together, they paid 106% of individual income taxes in 2010. that's the latest numbers the cbo used. the bottom two groups, the least earners, added together, negative 9%. the top earners are paying the whole enchilada, those left are paying less than zero. how do you pay less than zero? you get a negative tax rate. the lowest income group made on average $8100 in to 10 that's below the level of paying any income taxes but those in the group also received $25,000 each in aid and more than a quarter of that group, the cbo says they paid negative 15% of individual income taxes. now, don't worry, the rich are not going broke. they're not making as much today with the market down triple digits. the cbo says it saw its income grow much faster than anyone else in 2010, no surprise coming off the market bottom. generally speaking, those who thing that those who make more should pay more in taxes but in the case of individual income taxes based on this report top earners are not only paying their fair share, they're paying everyone's share. back to you. >> jane wells for us, as she digs through the guts of that report. as mentioned there now about 20 minutes to go before the closing bell on this day when wer seeing the dow up 125 points. >> pretty weak day across the board. but coming up, an ipo daily double. twitter officially doubled in value from its ipo price today. dominic chu will check in. what's the next that could do the same?

>> i feel like the market is creating a bit of a trading range here at the end of the year where it's getting pushed around a little bit. a little hard on the down side. i expect them to rally from these levels here on forward. >> you think the old playbook is going the take hold just wait a couple days? >> i do. i think in this case kind of near the bottom of the trading range. i think we'll trade back up and see a close above 16,000 for the new year. having that been said, the issues with the ten-year, it will creep into the first quarter of next year as rates continue to rise without the fed doing anything. >> the next fed meeting is like the 17th and 18th. so it's right here. >> yeah. >> what happens if they taper, what happens if they taper 5 billion, 10 billion? >> the market will probably welcome a prudent move right now. the key indicator is inflation. at least investors that are purchasing paper and looking ii the paper right now can look at inflation and say we're still pretty low on our interest rates. that's going to be the key right there. >> take it way down to the ground level. >> right. >> the minute the announcement is made that the fed is tapering and if that announcement comes in a week, what happens to the stock market? >> well, actually, i think the trouble is that the fed is overcommitted right now to its nontapering stance. the market would be shocked by that right now and it would be a very negative move but only because of their overcommitted stance to continue this quantitative easing going out into '15. >> market shocked, you're talking a pretty good decline. >> a shock in terms of complete a round about face in policy. i don't ning the job numbers warrant that. they'd be looking at 260, 270 before they'd contemplate it. >> that's it for the 3:00 hour of "the closing bell," with ten seconds to go before the bell and there it goes ringing right now. you'll pick it up on the other side. hello and welcome to "the closing bell." i'm kelly evans down here at the new york stock exchange. a sea of red. here's how we're finishing up the day. still counting the orders. dow jones off about 131 or 0.8%. it was the better performer of the three indexes. nasdaq is the one to watch. broke the 4000 mark just before the close. looks like about 56 points or 1.4%. the s&p 500 dumped 20 points, 1782 is the level there. let's get straight to it with our panel. michelle russo cabrera, stephanie link and andrew bush. thank you all for being here. stephanie link, what is going on with this market? >> i think what's happening here is we're still trying to adjust this whole taper situation. you've got the budget resolution, we still have to get past that, but that paves the away for further tapering. the market is trying to figure out is that a good thing or a bad thing? i'm of the mind that it's a good thing because the economic data has been supportive of tapering. joy global was not that good. there wasn't a lot of macro data. i was focused on the goldman sachs financial services conference. yesterday and today the companies have been talking about a little bit better loan growth, cash flow. i'm taking away those are positive -- >> hold on. breaking news, the other piece of action we're waiting for on hilton. simon hobbs, what can you say? >> david faber hit it on the head. they'll price it at $20 a share as david reported this morning. what is new and we didn't expect is that it would appear that hilton is intending to increase the size of the offer, which clearly was well oversubscribed. don't forget they've brought forwards by one day this process. they were supposed to price thursday night, then trade friday morning. they obviously knew the book. the deal was done as one insider said to me. not only do they know that it's going to be $20 so they know the book very well but they know they'll be able to increase the size of the ipo to an initial $1.2 billion. a big ipo, certainly the largest we've had in lodging. >> possibly the second biggest ipo this year. this is a huge deal. in a couple of different ways. that $20 price, i wonder if they wanted to stay right there, increase the amount of the offering instead of boosting that price. >> remember that blackstone is in this for the long game. a private equity move. they'll basically bring it to market at kind of the price that they paid plus debt to take it off the market 6 1/2 years ago. within that, they followed the private equity model. they've restructured the debt. they've increased the value of their equity, the proportion that they own outright from the initial 6.5 billion they've put in. >> but this company will still have $15 billion of debt. this offering won't do anything -- it will not remove that entirely. a final question, we're coming off of a market that just had one of the worst days in about a month here and it seems as though that hasn't really fazed investors too much when it comes to this particular company? >> no, because it's been relatively conservatively priced. but they're not attempting to bolster the price too much. these investors that are likely to be coming in here are longer term buy side, they're not just there for the profits, not a social media stock. this is probably one that those that buy did hold on to. >> not a chinese hotelier. simon, we'll see you later as well. we hope the range, the size increase, this is a big one, guys. andrew bush, what do you say about this? >> hilton's come a long way. obviously they've done a lot of restructuring of the company. they've dramatically improved their balance sheet, they got rid of a lot of real estate. they had really focused on the frequent stay guests. this is a company that's dramatically cleaned itself up and really put it on par with marriott. that's really good. not only that they moved their headquarters from california to virginia. you're looking at $2.7 billion on this ipo. so this is big deal. i think it will do quite well, obviously. the book said so already. >> guys, we're adding steve grasso to the mix here, "fast money" extraordinaire, we should say. you've got this hilton deal that seems to be in line with the story year-to-date in markets, appetite, investors are interested, the economy's doing better, then a market day like today where those signs seem to be weakening. >> everybody is waiting for this sell-off and usually at the least when everyone expects it. so at this point you've got to stay with your game plan, stay invested in the marketplace and just bear with it. it will get rocky going to year end, it certainly will. >> everybody's finally figured out that they're going to have some tapering maybe sooner than later. trader, i know they usually go to southampton or wherever for the holidays or the festivities. >> kind of cold out there. >> they're taking their chips off the table, saying i'm not going to wait for christmas. we're taking our profits now ahead of the taper. this was a traders market. >> what i don't understand -- >> hang on, through that whole time even though it was positive, you could say we might have a government shutdown in january, we know the fed is worried about that. but no government shutdown to be worried about in january. >> did i hear anything about a debt ceiling? i'm sore se, did i hear anything about a debt ceiling? they just want to get paid more and both houses of congress want to pay them more. >> the budget deal actually. >> go ahead. >> i was going to say the budget deal shows a structure by which both sides can work together. it helps take the debt ceiling off the table come february or march. i think they can do something there. one thing about the markets, everybody is talking about the potential for china to downgrade their growth target from 7 1/2 to 7. that's why the chinese shanghai was down so much last night. i also think that hurt the u.s. stock market as well today. >> at the same time there was talk around the floor here going into the close about a billion dollars on the sale side. i think we grabbed kenny right off the floor, here. why do you think these sell orders are coming inside? >> i think today's action is much more driven in washington, much more about the budget deal. the whole taper conversation, people are exhausted. the market has decided they recognize the fact that it's going to happen. whether it happens in january, february, march, makes no difference. it's all about the clarity of the fed. >> now we've got a budget demilitarized zone. >> you're making progress, that's the whole point. >> we can ma-- we've been makin progress for 40 years. >> now we can focus more about taper because the economy is actually supportive of taper. wait, wait, wait. i would just say this. portfolio managers are for the longer term to position themselves for 2014. you want to be taking advantage of these pullbacks to position your portfolio the way you want it to be. >> speaking about stocks specific stuff, just to jump on what steph was talking about, if china growth isn't that spectacular. look at coal, steel, that have all ran 50% in the last couple of months and maybe lock into profits there as well. >> i want to talk about the ten-year yield. a big auction, 2.84%. i guess my point is this, if i were trying to figure out if today was all about the economy's improving enough that the fed would exit the picture, you expect that yield to move up. but if it was there were earnings disappointments and maybe a damp squibb. >> why didn't this have to be all or nothing? first of all, if the economy starts weakening again, that gas pedal can be depressed once again. this is not something here -- >> we're talking five to ten to 15 billion pulling out. >> kenny, go ahead. >> listen, the fed is not going anywhere. they've made that quite clear. whether they start to pull out 10 billion or not, if it starts to turn, they're jumping right back in and everybody knows it. today's budget deal had zero clarity. >> it doesn't matter which side of the fence you're on. i'm a republican, i make no bones about it. but it doesn't matter. we're making progress there. it doesn't matter whether it's perceived progress or not. >> at 2.85 ten-year treasury, we had this in the summer. we have seen this movie already, we're going to get the t-shirt and read the book. we start to see mortgage applications slow down. when the only thing going on in the mortgage business is cash sales -- i don't know about you -- >> i want nathan to slow down triple for one second. what you're telling me is that now that we're at 2.85% and moved back up on the ten-year the economy's not strong enough to handle it and we might see a repeat of that situation where just as we've had a record amount of people exiting bond funds this year, perhaps it looks okay in the landscape for 2014? >> i think you're going to see the economy slow down again. we keep hearing people say, mortgages are so cheap on a relative basis. i've got relatives i don't like either. housing affordability is not keeping pace. that's a challenge. >> that's true, but the fed has made it very clear they're going to try to alcohol that. that will be the issue if they can't control it. >> it really does depend on the vel oocity of the trade move. >> that's right. >> i think the market can handle that because i think the data that we've gotten in the last month, month and a half is lot better than where we were back in may. >> i agree. >> you look at the global data point, too, all of them are pointing to a slide recovery. >> stephanie, the thing is also for the projections out for 2014, you're starting to see everyone look at the united states and it's over 3% or it's really close to it. >> but the thing that bothers me about the bond market, it doesn't go up nicely and consistently. it doesn't behave. >> stock market valuation wrs we are, as long as we have 3% gdp growth. >> i'll call you and the stock market's going to behave. the four great lies that we hear about. >> i'm waiting for the t-shirt and the book. >> you can catch steve grasso on "fast money". the rest of the panel sticking around. also i'm speaking exclusively with california teachers pension chief who overcease one of the biggest pension funds, $170 billion in assets. is he worried that traditional pensions are an endangered species after what happened in detroit. hilton reportedly pricing at $20 a share. we'll cover it in every possible angle. stay with us. thrusters at 30%! i can't get her to warp. losing thrusters. i need more power. give me more power!

my next guest is from lpl financial who actually says thins will look pretty good next year. tell us about the outlook, what do you see here? >> we see another good year next year driven by a couple factors. one is washington will get out of the way. that will be nice. when was the last time that we said that washington will be out of the way of politics. we expect a full percentage point growth in gdp, that should translate to better sales and profits. finally a whole new class of investor coming into the markets to buy stocks. corporations have been doing the heavy lifting in 2013 as the biggest buyers of stocks. look for the retail investor, the 800-pound gorilla of investing next year to help drive a wind for stocks and double digit gains. >> we were having a pretty heated debate whether mastercard, a argument that a company can do this with cash is a shareholder friendly move, what happens when you see them continue to buy? >> i guess i don't mind if they don't have anything better to do with the money, but as we look out to 2014, you actually see important need for investment in capital and in employment. we need more jobs and more capital expenditures. businesses have been running very lean. if we get a better growth environment businesses like mastercard and others will need to hire to capture that. i love the buy backs as long as it's not at the expense of fundamentals in the business. >> what do you see for the end of next year and what does that imply as to what the fed does during that period of time? >> good question. we're seeing a 10 to 15% gain, so that could put you around 10,000 on the s&p 500. the fed will begin tapering here soon. interest rates will be headed higher. what we think that means is more of a flight out of bonds, as interest rates rise. could be at best maybe a flat year for the bond market. further impetus for individual investors to favor stocks. >> as you just heard people back and forth about whether the very minutia of either the people on the fed, the kinds of decisions they may make next year are tripping up the market. from what you say, it almost sounds irrelevant. why is that? >> because it's almost there. the economy wasn't ready for it. stocks tanked, bond yields fell. that's not going to be the case this time, clearly isn't shaping up to be the case. much better backdrop of economic growth. we're seeing much better job growth in the economy. so a lot of things picking up. the economy in a much better place to handle that rise in rates. that's why we think it won't be as negative a factor, maybe not negative at all. >> thank you for your time this afternoon. 2000, that's where he falls in line. in the days of the cold war, it was the soviet union and no one in their right mind would invest there even if they could. under putin is anything different in russia today?

everybody said jobs market was great. everyone is saying we've got an improving economy, maybe the marketing can withstand some modest, gentle tapering. remember that idea? today we get a positive piece of news, the budget negotiations are going well, we'll get a budget deal and all of a sudden everyone says, oh, maybe the chances of tapering might be going up, we knew that on friday. why did the market react in a different way today? that's what everybody is sort of confused about here. now, if you want to be a technician, for example, the russell 2000 had a terrible day overall. that's head and shoulders, not very obvious, but a head and shoulder pattern that was perfectly completed with the right side today. a lot of people are sort of talking about the technical aspects of the market. >> bob pisani, thank you very much. again on an afternoon where we've gotten the hilton ipo, 20 bucks. but amid a global rally russia hasn't joined the party. here's the etf tracking the russian stock market. take a look at this because you don't see it a lot on this side of the water, it's down for the year. that's right. many blame russian president vladimir putin who some would say is more of a dictator. >> we have an exclusive interview with the head of the russian direct investment fund, this is one of three sovereign funds in russia. what makes it unique is it's designed to get other sovereign wealth funds to invest in russia because they know they have a perception of lots of corruption, big, big problems, is your physical safety going to be all right? when i spoke with this gentleman, we spent a lot of time talking about the problems they face in their image. what about vladimir putin who seems to have an ever increasing grip on power there. he said people misunderstand his boss. >> i would say they do not understand what president putin is doing because they really brought stability and growth into country that was torn by different business plans, that really had huge unemployment, was pretty much bankrupt, over the last 13, 14 years he really brought in stability, growth and really we are now the sixth largest country, sixth largest economy in the world. it came from being absolutely bankrupt to just 13, 14 years ago. so people i think do not understand the trajectory, how democratic was england right after magna carta? russia needs time to build institutions, to build proper things and the president is a big advocate of foreign investment in the russian economy. he's a big advocate of progress. >> so implicit in his answer is, yes, we know there are problems and issues but we thing we're heading in the right direction. and we need the stability under putin to get there. >> when we talk about the pope being named man of the year, you could have made the argument for it being vladimir putin. look at syria, at the ukraine, the way he's trying to exert his influence across the middle east, with the olympics coming up, yet on the economic front if their situation starts to worsen, he won't necessarily be able to throw his weight around to the same degree. >> the price of oil is an explanation for why their stock market hasn't gone far and they're spending piles of money, $50 billion on the winter loim pibs alone. more than all other winter olympics combined. >> do you think they can see better growth if moscow themselves doesn't see better growth? that's been the real slowdown and the real concern. some will say the south is growing more and the east is growing more and that can kind of make up for it. what is your sense? >> the bigger issue for them is they've got to be move higher and hirer on the indexes. how easy to start a business, bureaucracy and paperwork, they've made improvements, but they have to make a lot more if they have to get the multiple on the market is like four. >> i have to tell you, that sounds like saying tony soprano is a good family man, too. really hard to swallow. the only thing i might want to invest in now is smirnoff and vodka possibly. but we're doing a good job of making it tough for the russians. that's why they're being nice in syria and threatened to play ball. i hope they spend a lot of money on the olympics because we're taking the price of oil and dropping it to the floor. i know, different kind of oil, but nonetheless. >> all the oil producers are nervous about what's happening in the united states. >> i'm so happy for that. >> your heart bleeds for them. >> our foreign policy will get so much better now, i can't tell you guys. >> when i look at the bric countries, i would much rather own an etf in china because it will grow 7 1/2%, but that's better than the 2% in russia. >> russia is the "r" in bric. after the break, the chief investment officer for a california teachers union how he's putting $170 billion to work. how could a luminous protein in jellyfish, impact life expectancy in the u.s., real estate in hong kong, and the optics industry in germany?

let's bring in california state teachers retirement investor, that's why they say caltrs. how you will change that for 2014? >> we actually like the equity markets. today doesn't bother me. i see the red numbers and i see everybody get pretty excited about it, suddenly a down day. we used to have down 100 days the on a regular basis. the street has to adjust and not get so excited about a day like today. markets will trend sideways. a fantastic year in 2013. i'm actually a little bit optimistic about '14. we won't have a plus 30 year or plus 20 year. >> what's your allocation? >> 45% in equity, two-thirds in the u.s. we're tilting a little bit, taking profits out of the u.s. and tilting toward non-u.s. equities. >> any markets where you're going overweight next year? >> market weight in europe and put some money there cautiously. we do believe in abenomics and be a little allocated to japan. a brutal year for them, but we're long-term investors so we want to average cost into a market like that and while it won't turn around on a dime, the future will be there. >> we heard the same thing this year in emerging markets and hard to find performers. >> with our case, with a 40-year horizon, we won't try to pick the bottom or the bottom minute but scale ourselves into that market. we always have a 10% allocation to emerging marketing. all about tactical shifts. >> if you knew coming into this year that equities would be doing what they are, you wouldn't have to invest in anything else. over time if you think that the equity market will generate returns north of, say, 5%, 6% or if not, are you going to say that 5% of your portfolio and try to make up the rest with more aggressive investments? >> the simple answer is no, that's been part of big debate. bill gross has been talking about the new normal and will equity market returns be five or lower. we're not looking for double digit returns but we're thinking over a decade to be close to 7 1/2%. we'll diversify around that and put money in real estate, as we have for 20 years. >> that's all your fault then, with the credit boom and bust cycle. to some extent there is a need for higher returns. what's the number you guys have to make each year? >> i want to take credit for that, let's give the credit to the rest of wall street. any time you get in a bubble where you loan money to people that can't repay it, then leverage up the system and there's so much bubble talk, bubbles are rare. they're going to happen once or twice in our lifetime. people are too excited looking for the next one. we thing this is a good investment market, slow growth, moving economy, so we want to stay invested for the long term. >> looking at some of the opportunities that you i guess see for that period of time, it's not just about overweight and underweight, it's also about where you are coming from. you have to make the math work for these pensions for the california state teachers. how well do you have to do each year to stay funded? especially when you have this report saying that you're underfunded and you really need to step it up. >> we're underfunded. what's sad about teacher pension plans across america, historically they've not been properly dribted to, whether california all the way to the east coast. so you need two things in our retirement plan, whether 401(k) or a pension plan, you need contributions and you need investment returns. my job is to generate that investment return. while i'm shooting for 7 1/2 and i say think about it as a pace per mile in a marathon, so some tough years, some good years but over a 10 to 20-year period we've proven we can generate that 7 1/2 return. >> i'd be happy in a 7 1/2 in a marathon pace. seening what's happened in detroit in which it was basically ruled that pensions aren't untouchable, i'm wondering if there's more of a move to shift this all towards 401(k) and privatize it, death nell it for the people managing pension money over time. >> there are people predicting that for a while. i'm going to tell them they're flat-out wrong. it's just part of the bait, we've been battling the battle for over a decade. it will continue to be a debate. retirement plans are an employee benefit. you want to reward longevity. detroit will take years to figure out and probably ultimately the supreme court, but that's a city plan and municipal plan. state plans are totally different. we're not going to be threatened by that. the decision would not impact us. it's going to be a constant debate about where you set benefits and how you contribute into a pension plan. california teachers aren't covered by social security. we're their sole safety net. the teacher typically works for 29 years and their pension's very modest. you want to reward that career in education. >> thanks for coming and sharing your view on the world. now the wait is almost over. our reporters have been crisscrossing the country all day to find the most bang for the buck. the winner will be revealed next. well, it's back, cnbc's million dollar home competition. we've seen seven cnbc reporters to seven real estate markets to check out a million dollar home with a main street address. here's how it works. two $1 million homes go head-to-head, only one moves forward. we've asked reporters not to reveal their location as you take a look, we'll reveal where they are afterwards. massachusetts lavish lodge, to to speak, lost to pennsylvania's river retreat. now in the final round, that river retreat will take on the beach bungalow. touring the homes are brian sullivan and our own jane wells. >> this attached house may sit on a small lot, but don't be fooled. it's in a very artsy, affluent and desirable community. built in 1875, the house has been renovated and expanded and maintains its historic charm. >> this 85-year-old home on main street is hardly mainstream. it measures under 1500 square feet, bought out of foreclosure, completely fixed up, turned into a triplex so you can rent out parts for income. >> it features a modern chef's kitchen with nice chef's island and a front and back staircase, make the open design even more flexible. >> okay, so the kitchen in the main unit is more of a galley, but everything in here is brand new. and over in the bathroom, again, everything is new, and they stuck to the 1920s decor. >> the master suite of this three-bedroom home has floor to ceiling windows and a great balcony that lets in a ton of natural light. the home office can easily be converted into a fourth bedroom. >> you have two small bedrooms, one bath as a closet. second unit has the same thing. in the back, you have a brand new studio for mom. >> walk out the front door and you're right in a very cool main street. walk out the back door and you're right on the river with a private fenced-in backyard. the asking price for this river front home 988,000. >> this place is on the most popular street in the county, walking distance to a codesy town center and spectacular scenery. when you find out where this is, you'll understand why the asking price is 998 grand. >> wow, all right. we already know the river retreat is located in pennsylvania. i think jane's beach bungalow is probably somewhere in what, the bay area, malibu, california? i'm speaking here, of course, of real estate broker to the superrich dolly lentz. what's the location of that home that's going for a million dollars? >> huntington beach, california. on a day like today in new york, cold, snow, it's looking really good to me. >> still, is that really worth the price? >> but let's look at it another way. there are three apartments in this house. the three apartments rent for over $5,000 a month. >> oh, it's a rental place? >> yes, so you can even use one, rent the other two. use two, rent one. i love the flexibility and the exit strategy on that. so to me, that really sings a very good tune. >> and that's so interesting because we know the multifamily, the rental space is indicative of where the country and the buying population has moved today. and i'm just amazed i guess that it would still cost that much up front to have that kind of location. >> you know, really a million dollars isn't, as we see from all the houses we're looking at, a whole lot of money today to buy a house. the market has really gone up. we're up 26, 28% in these areas you see what a million dollars doesn't buy you. >> by the way, financing something like this, can the average person, even if they have this kind of money to put to work, they can get financing for this kind of property? >> the average person, maybe not the average person, but many people can get financing, so it's really not that begin an issue. harder than ever, but doable. >> i suppose it is time, dolly, it's been all day. we've seen the river houses move forward, the beach bungally. >> what do you think? >> now that you bring up the rental.i'm going beach bungalow, but for financial reasons. >> i think it's a total beach bungalow play. i have to tell you again today is a really cold day. it snowed yesterday. and i'm looking for that warmth. >> see, i think we need to apologize to the river retreat, because if we did this in june -- >> exactly, exactly. >> dolly, thank you so much for walking us through that. really appreciate it. a million dollar beach bungalow wins the main street competition, if we can even call it that. thank you to dolly for joining us all day today. >> now, what's drawing the most eyeballs over on our website, aside from people looking at slide shows is of houses right now, allen wastler. >> right now we've got a pretty depressing piece sort of leading the site right now, merry christmas, millions to lose job little benefits. this is tied to the budget deal. many are saying they'd extend the jobless benefits. they didn't do it. one of our staff writers took a deep dive on it looking at how many will be affected and when congress doesn't act. people are eating it up on the website. our second big right now is tied to the budget deal. earlier today we had the former omb director sitting down with rick santelli. we wrote down his comments and put it on the site. he called that whole budget deal basically a joke and a betrayal. that's drawn them right in there, they're just diving in. >> he didn't mince words. >> as he rarely does. but right now we've got a dark horse coming up on those two, it might take the top spot. you had jane wells talking about tax rates and how the top 40% are bpaying all the tax bill an then more. she wrote it up for us and put it on the site. it's getting more than 60 readers a minute right now. >> that surprises me less, alan, than the fact that the jobless benefits are leading the site. but to see it just kind of on that headline alone draws much attention as it is tells you perhaps it will be more of a sticking point for negotiations or for congress going forward. we'll see. al alan, thank you. hilton pricing its highly anticipated ipo at $20 a share, according to dow jones increasing in size. coming up more with simon hobbs and when to expect when this starts trading tomorrow morning. ♪ [ male announcer ] this december, experience the gift of true artistry and some of the best offers of the year at the lexus december to remember sales event. this is the pursuit of perfection. at the lexus december to remember sales event. new business owner, it would be one thing i've learned is my philosophy is real simple american express open forum is an on-line community, that helps our members connect and share ideas to make smart business decisions. if you mess up, fess up. be your partners best partner. we built it for our members, but it's open for everyone. there's not one way to do something. no details too small. american express open forum. this is what membership is. this is what membership does. you stand behind what you say. there's a saying around here, around here you don't make excuses. you make commitments. and when you can't live up to them, you own up, and make it right. some people think the kind of accountability that thrives on so many streets in this country has gone missing in the places where it's needed most. but i know you'll still find it when you know where to look. anncr vo: introducing the schwab accountability guarantee. if you're not happy with one of our participating investment advisory services, we'll refund your program fee from the previous quarter. while, it's no guarantee against loss and other fees and expenses may still apply, we stand by our word. easy-to-use platform. no, thank you. we know you're always looking for the best fill price. and walk limit automatically tries to find it for you. just set your start and end price. and let it do its thing. wow, more fan mail. my uncle wanted to say thanks for idea hub. he loves how he can click on it and get specific actionable trade ideas with their probabilities throughout the day.

[ speaking foreign language ] you know what that means? >> no. >> prenup. prenup, in mandarin. >> i thought you were romantic. >> no. >> thank you. we turn, now, to the two, shocking back-to-back stories about alcohol and airlines. in one case, passengers took matters into their own hands, going to extremes to restrain a drunk passenger. and the other case, a pilot was arrested before takeoff when someone smelled alcohol on his breath. first up, abc's lisa stark joins us from reagan national airport outside washington, with details about that pilot. good morning, lisa. >> reporter: good morning, bianna. it was just in the nick of time. this pilot was set to fly a planeload of passengers from minneapolis to new york. luckily, because of some very alert officials, that never happened. the pilot had already passed through security at the minneapolis airport. and was waiting for an elevator, when a tsa agent, and other officers happened by and smelled what they thought was alcohol. they alerted airport police, who caught up with 48-year-old captain, just before 53 passengers would have boarded the american eagle flight to new york. police say christensen failed a preliminary alcohol breath test. he was arrested. neighbors of the pilot were shocked at the news. >> seemed to be very quiet. but he was a regular, family guy. >> reporter: it's not known what the tests showed. but the legal limit for pilots is 0.04, half the limit for drivers. and equaling roughly two drinks for an average-sized man. >> the airlines take zero tolerance of showing up with liquor in the bloom. >> reporter: one of hollywood's current hit movies, "flight," focuses on a drunk pilot that pulls off a miraculous crash landing. but he doesn't stay a hero for long. pilots can lose their license and get jail time. up to 15 years in extreme krass. in 2002, two america west pilots were caught on tape, partying and drinking for hours the night before their flight. the next morning, tsa screeners smelled alcohol on their breath. the pilots were arrested, convicted, sent to jail. as for the american flight, the airline scrambled to find a replacement pilot. passengers finally arrived in new york more than two hours late, shocked to learn then what had really happened. >> i'm feeling very unsafe. >> reporter: christensen has now been grounded, pending a full investigation. but the associated press, quoting an airline spokesman says, that he was well above the legal limit for that initial breath test, at least. dan? >> serious problems. lisa stark, thank you. now, to another case, another case study, in the pitfalls of mixing alcohol and air travel. take a look at this picture. this is a guy strapped into his seat with duct tape. his fellow passengers say he went on a drunken rampage during an overseas flight. and they had no choice but to tie him down. i want to know who travels with duct tape. john schriffen is here. >> reporter: it seems like we've all been on a flight that would never end because the person next to you was not a considerate neighbor. what happened on this flight to iceland takes it to a new level. one passenger, who the airline has not identified, was allegedly so bad, he had to be dealt with in a special way. this is what happens when your fellow passengers have had enough. according to iceland air, a man onboard their flight thursday from reykjavik thursday to new york's jfk, started acting up. hitting, spitting, even hitting other passengers, the whole time cursing like a storm. then, out of a scene out of "airplane," passengers took matters into their own hands, taping him in a chair. andy ellwood snapped this picture. his gut busting out. but his mouth shut. according to the blog, the began drinking the duty-free liquor onboard. the airline says, quote, he was restrained by passengers and crew. and was monitored for his own safety for the duration of the flight. it's certainly not the first time a passenger was caught behaving badly. alec baldwin was kicked off a flight when he was playing a game on his phone and was kicked off. after this kid cut the lines aboard a plane, his teacher made him apologize to everyone over the loud speaker, asking for forgiveness. as for this man, for the last two hours of the flight, well, he wasn't saying much of anything. upon landing at jfk, the man was met by police and taken to an area hospital to be treated for alcohol poisoning. the port authority won't confirm if this is the man they took into custody. so far, he has not been charged. dan? bianna? >> thank you. >> so many hours. now, to a major public health issue in america, the flu. it is spreading like crazy this season. new numbers from the centers for disease control shows that 41 states is showing widespread outbreak. that's up from two weeks ago. dr. jennifer ashton is here to tell us about that. >> good morning, guys. i think you need to go home after you're finished with the show, bianna. we don't have answers. we don't know why the flu this year is so bad. we don't know how bad it will get. what we do know is that the cases of influenza or flu-like illness are picking up speed. they're gaining momentum. we do expect them to get worse before it gets better. and these are particularly bad strains this year, making people incredibly sick. >> even people who have had flu shots? >> yeah. listen, the flu vaccine is not 100% effective. it varies between 60% to 85% effective. but people who are vaccinated, if they do come down with influenza, seem to have a let severe course of the illness and a shorter course of the illness. it's not too late to get vaccinated. if you can see your doctor and get that vaccine today, it may save your life or someone else's life. >> such an important note. before we go, you were pointing out to me before the broadcast, that these new numbers out this morning are not even telling the full story most likely. >> that's right, dan. there's a lag time when patients go to a health care provider and when the cases get reported to the cdc and when the cdc releases the numbers. it varies about one to two weeks. we're not even close to through the worst part of it. >> one important tip, stay home if you're sick. >> if you're sick and not gotten the vaccine to protect yourself and you're ill, protect others and stay home from work or school. you need to go home. >> she says she doesn't have the flu. >> we'll see about that. >> thank you very much. get the flu shot. now, to a very satisfying story, a payback in the digital age. it's about a guy whose iphone got stolen. he turned into a virtual vigilante, setting up a sting operation with an online dating site. what happened next is hilarious. tanya rivero is here. >> reporter: this is a do not try this at home story of stolen iphone retrieval. the police told this guy he was taking too big a risk, setting up a meeting with the thief. but in the end, it was the thief who got the surprise of his life. this man used some steamy lines to lure a thief into his trap, like this one. hey, i'm here and out of the shower. it started on new year's eve when he left his iphone 4 on the cab. the next morning, he saw someone trolling for dates. >> he was using my okcupid account. so, he created a phony female profile, with a cleveland-bearing photo from the web. >> i was talking to a girl, is adding winky face emoticons. >> reporter: the thief took the bait. you wanna meet? yeah, i kind of do. will you kiss me? he coyly responded, well, i don't have a boyfriend. they made a plan to meet up at his apartment for a date. >> i followed him up the stairs. he turns around. and basically, i confront him right here. and i put the $20 in his hand to diffuse the situation as fast as possible. but i had a hammer in my hand, just in case. >> reporter: the thief handed over the phone, took the money and ran. >> he smelled like cologne. and had a bottle of wine in his hand. >> reporter: he got the phone back. but the thief kept the wine and the cash, making us wonder if the punishment fit the crime. there's no hard feelings. as the thief ran out of the building, he called out to him, you smell nice. >> what a character. he thinks that was his cab driver. >> reporter: he does. but he doesn't have any proof. >> i see. there's a lesson there. carry $20 and a hammer. both. tanya, thank you so much. now, to the newly-revealed picture of princess diana we've been mesmerized by this week. taken right before she would become the most documented woman in the world. looking so young and so innocent. but who is the young man with her?

"the mirror" got scared it would offend the palace. >> that's the reason they weren't published. >> reporter: there's whiskey in the corner. a young, happy diana, whose life had been very different. >> if she had fallen for adam russell, she would be herding deer in the south of england. and someone else would be the future queen. >> reporter: now, i called russell down on his farm. he wouldn't tell me much other than confirming him in the photo. he said he looks pretty much the same today. mystery solved. dan, bianna, we're headed up to scotland to find the loch ness monster. >> we're convinced you can do anything, nick. time, now, for the forecast. and for that, as always, ginger zee. ginger, good morning. >> hey, all. it snowed in texas. that's for you, bianna. it's usually san angelo has 2.9 inches each year. yesterday and the day before, 2.8. they're getting a whole season in one day. you're seeing from brownsville, they had schools closed. and they had a lot of fun with that snow, too. el paso had 3.1 inches. abbean, austin, an inch of snow. a funnel was reported outside of miami, just south of it, actually. you can really see it well there. funnel different from tornado. tornado touches, has debris. a funnel is just a funnel. that's what they had in miami. and the weather today will be foggy inland in south florida, especially. just south of that stationary front. showers throughout the state. 74 for tampa. 62, a lot cooler in tallahassee. another storm up in the north, will be bringing just a few inches of snow for parts of michigan, into parts of the eastern great lakes and up into parts of new england, too. not the warmth and the miami-type funnels. but on the west coast, something to note for the weekend, you get about a half-inch of rain for san francisco, and rain down to l.a., as well. >> my first twitter photo comes from wisconsin. it is a sun pillar. that's an actual thing. i know i see your face, a little eyebrow raised there. >> what is that?

"the new york times" reports armstrong has told associates and anti-doping officials he is considering publicly admitting that he used performance-enhancing drugs and blood transfusions during his cycling career. armstrong has denied these allegations for more than a decade. earlier this year, armstrong was stripped of his seven tour de france titles for doping and banned from competing in all events in the future. also breaking overnight, a powerful earthquake struck off the coast of alaska. the 7.5 magnitude quick hit about 60 miles from the city of craig, alaska. a tsunami was generated but did not pose a threat to land. and meanwhile, overseas, the brother of al qaeda's chief has reportedly been captured in syria. published reports say that ayman al zawahiri's brother, mohammed, was arrested by syrian troops while meeting with opposition activists in syria. the terrorist leader recently released a message, encouraging fighters to join the civil war there in syria. and former arizona congresswoman gabrielle giffords was in newtown, connecticut, meeting privately with the families of those killed in last month's school massacre. the visit came just days before the second anniversary of the shooting that critically injured her. and the white house, meanwhile, released this photo on friday, the moment that president obama learned of the shooting that left 26 people dead. the president has called it the worst day of his presidency. and days after the republican-led house was blasted for failing to provide funds for victims of hurricane sandy, a bill to do just that is headed to president obama's desk. lawmakers passed a measure providing nearly $10 billion in aid to help 120,000 people. another bill authorized, $51 billion in additional aid will come up for a vote in the house in ten days. and finally, love was in the air in china on friday. thousands of couples across the country died the knot because of the date. in mandarin, january 4th, 2013, sounds very similar to the phrase, i will love you for all of my life. and those who got married because of the date. i got two words. [ speaking foreign language ] you know what that means? >> no. >> prenup. prenup, in mandarin. >> i thought you were romantic. >> no. >> thank you. we turn, now, to the two, shocking back-to-back stories about alcohol and airlines. in one case, passengers took matters into their own hands, going to extremes to restrain a drunk passenger. and the other case, a pilot was arrested before takeoff when someone smelled alcohol on his breath. first up, abc's lisa stark joins us from reagan national airport outside of washington, with details about that pilot. good morning, lisa. >> reporter: good morning, bianna. it was just in the nick of time. this pilot was set to fly a planeload of passengers from minneapolis to new york. luckily, because of some very alert officials, that never happened. the pilot had already passed through security at the minneapolis airport. and was waiting for an elevator, when a tsa agent and other officers happened by and smelled what they thought was alcohol. they alerted airport police, who caught up with 48-year-old captain kolbjorn kristiansen, just before 53 passengers would have boarded the american eagle flight to new york. police say kristiansen failed a preliminary alcohol breath test. he was arrested. neighbors of the pilot were shocked at the news. >> seemed to be very quiet. but he was a regular, family guy. >> reporter: it's not known what the tests showed. but the legal limit for pilots is 0.04, half the limit for drivers. and equaling roughly two drinks for an average-sized man. >> the airline industry basically takes a stance of zero tolerance at showing up with liquor in the bloom. >> reporter: one of hollywood's current hit movies, "flight," focuses on a drunk pilot that pulls off a miraculous crash landing. but he doesn't stay a hero for long. >> this toxicology report states that you were drunk. >> reporter: pilots can lose their license and get jail time. up to 15 years in extreme cases. in 2002, two america west pilots were caught on tape, partying and drinking for hours the night before their flight. the next morning, tsa screeners smelled alcohol on their breath. the pilots were arrested, convicted, sent to jail. as for the american flight, the airline scrambled to find a replacement pilot. passengers finally arrived in new york more than two hours late, shocked to learn then what had really happened. >> i'm feeling very unsafe. >> reporter: kristiansen has now been grounded, pending a full investigation. but the associated press, quoting an airline spokesman says, that he was well above the legal limit for that initial breath test, at least. dan? >> serious problems. lisa stark, thank you. now, to another case, another case study, in the pitfalls of mixing alcohol and air travel. take a look at this picture. this is a guy literally strapped into his seat with duct tape. his fellow passengers say he went on a drunken rampage during an overseas flight. and they had no choice but to tie him down. i want to know who travels with duct tape. john schriffen is here. maybe you can answer that question. good morning, sir. >> reporter: i don't know if i can answer that one. but this one is strange. it seems like we've all been on a flight that seemed like it would never end because the person next to you wasn't the most considerate neighbor. what happened on this flight to iceland takes it to a new level. one passenger, who the airline still has not identified, was allegedly so bad, he had to be dealt with in a special way. this is what happens when your fellow passengers have had enough. according to iceland air, a man onboard their flight thursday from reykjavik to new york's jfk, started acting up. hitting, screaming, even spitting on other passengers. the whole time, cursing up a storm. then, like a scene out of the movie "airplane," passengers took matters into their own hands, taping him in a chair. fellow passenger andy ellwood snapped this picture after the man was secured in his seat. his gut busting out. but his mouth shut. according to ellwood's blog, the man became unruly after drinking all of the duty-free liquor onboard. and tried to choke the woman next to him, scheming the plane was going to crash. in a statement to abc news, the airline says, quote, he was restrained by passengers and crew. and was monitored for his own safety for the duration of the flight. it's certainly not the first time a passenger was caught behaving badly. alec baldwin was kicked off a flight when he was playing a game on his phone and was kicked off. after this kid cut the lines to board a plane, his teacher made him apologize to everyone over the loud speaker, asking for forgiveness. as for this man, for the last two hours of the flight, well, he wasn't saying much of anything. upon landing at jfk, the man was met by police and taken to an area hospital to be treated for alcohol poisoning. the port authority won't confirm if this is the man they took into custody. so far, he has not been charged. dan? bianna? >> thank you. >> so many hours. >> must have drank a lot to get alcohol poisoning. now, to a major public health issue in america, the flu. it is spreading like crazy this season. new numbers from the centers for disease control shows that 41 states is showing widespread outbreak. that's up from 31 states 2 weeks ago. our medical contributor dr. jennifer ashton is here to tell us about that. >> good morning, guys. >> good morning. can you help me? >> i think you need to go home right after you're finished with the show, bianna. we don't have answers. we don't know why the flu this year is so bad. we don't know how bad it will get. what we do know is that the cases of influenza or flu-like illness are picking up speed. they're gaining momentum. we do expect them to get worse before it gets better. and these are particularly bad strains this year, making people incredibly sick. >> even people who have had flu shots? >> yeah. listen, the flu vaccine is not 100% effective. it varies between 60% to 85% effective. but people who are vaccinated, if they do come down with influenza, seem to have a let severe course of the illness and a shorter course of the illness. it's not too late to get vaccinated. if you can see your doctor and get that vaccine today, it may save your life or someone else's life. >> such an important note. before we go, you were pointing out to me before the broadcast, that these new numbers out this morning are not even telling the full story, most likely. >> that's right, dan. there's a lag time when patients go to a health care provider and when the cases get reported to the cdc and when the cdc releases those numbers. it varies about one to two weeks. the numbers will go up. we're not even close to through the worst part of it. >> one important tip, stay home if you're sick. >> if you're sick and not gotten the vaccine to protect yourself and you're ill, protect others and stay home from work or school. so, you need to go home right after the show. >> she says she doesn't have the flu. >> we'll see about that. >> thank you very much. get the flu shot. all right. now, to a very satisfying story of payback in the digital age. it's about a guy whose iphone got stolen. he turned into a virtual vigilante, setting up a sting operation involving an online dating site. what happened next is hilarious. abc's tanya rivero is on the story. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this is a do not try this at home story of stolen iphone retrieval. the police even told this guy he was taking too big a risk, setting up a meeting with the thief. but in the end, it was the thief who got the surprise of his life. nadav used some steamy lines to lure a thief into his trap, like this one. hey, i'm here and out of the shower. it started on new year's eve when nirenberg left his iphone 4 on the cab. the next morning, he saw someone sending messages from his phone, using his online profile, trolling for dates. >> he was using my okcupid account. so, he created a phony female profile, with a cleveland-bearing photo from the web. >> my best version talking as a girl, or a flirty girl, i should say, is adding winky face emoticons. >> reporter: the thief took the bait. writing, you wanna meet? nadav replied, yeah, i kind of do. will you kiss me? he coyly responded, well, i don't have a boyfriend. they made a plan to meet up at nadav's apartment for a date. >> i followed him up the stairs. he turns around. and basically, i confront him right here. and i put the $20 in his hand to diffuse the situation as fast as possible. but i had a hammer in my hand, just in case. >> reporter: the thief handed over the phone, took the money and ran. >> he was dressed up with a nice jacket and shirt. and he smelled like cologne. and had a bottle of wine in his hand. >> reporter: nadav got the phone back. but the thief kept the wine and the cash, making us wonder if the punishment fit the crime. there's no hard feelings. but he still couldn't resist a parting shot. as the thief ran out of the building, nadav called out to him, you smell nice. >> what a character. he thinks that was his cab driver. >> reporter: he does. but he doesn't have any proof. >> i see. there's a lesson there. carry $20 and a hammer. both. >> tanya, thank you so much. now, to the newly-revealed picture of princess diana we've been mesmerized by this week. taken right before she would become the most documented woman in the world. looking so young and so innocent. but who is the young man with her? it was a mystery until abc's nick schifrin got down on the case and tracked the mysterious stranger. nick is with us from london. good morning, nick. >> reporter: good morning, bianna. we pieced through every clue. we looked under every manhole. we called every contact we had. it's the biggest mystery since the loch ness monster. we think we've solved it. she was just diana spencer. it was 1979. she was 17 years old, skiing in the swiss alps. diana tore her ankle tendon. so, she spent a lot of time indoors with a certain silent suitor. >> i can categorically say that the man in the picture is adam russell. >> reporter: adam russell, great grandson of a prime minister. he always liked diana. but he never told her. >> if adam russell had told her how he really felt about her, the british monarchy would have been a very different monarchy than we see today. >> reporter: same is true for russell. today, he's a farmer, way down here, dorset, england, where he runs this b&b. >> he traveled the world. and thought he could make a go of it with diana. only to find a friend telling him, too late, adam. you have one rival, prince charles. >> reporter: and that's when diana became, well, the princess. the glass carriage. the dress. that train. one of the most photographed women of all-time. >> when she looked down your lens and you smiled, you knew you had a great picture. >> reporter: arthur edwards was one of diana's first photographers. >> this woman was not just a beauty. she sort of changed the way the royal family worked. completely. she did everything her way. >> reporter: walked in mine fields. helped take the stigma out of aids. everything she did was documented. and yet, this photo disappeared, just two days after diana's engagement. "the mirror" newspaper got scared it would offend the palace. >> they didn't want any trouble. i'm sure. that's the reason they weren't published. >> reporter: there's whiskey in the corner. a young, happy diana, whose life had been very different. >> if she had fallen for adam russell, she would be herding deer in the south of england. and someone else would be the future queen. >> reporter: now, i called russell down on his farm. he wouldn't tell me much other than confirming it was him in the photo. he said he looks pretty much the same today, but his hair's a little shorter now. mystery solved. dan, bianna, we're headed up to scotland to find the loch ness monster. >> we're convinced you can do anything, nick. time, now, for the forecast. and for that, as always, ginger zee. ginger, good morning. >> good morning. hey, y'all. it snowed in texas. that's for you, bianna. it's usually san angelo has 2.9 inches on average each year. yesterday and the day before, 2.8. they're getting a whole season in one day. you're seeing from brownsville, they had schools closed. and they had a lot of fun with that snow, too. el paso had 3.1 inches. abilene, 1 inch. austin, an inch of snow. there was also other weather happening. a funnel was reported outside of miami, just south of it, actually. you can really see it well there. funnel different from tornado. tornado touches, has debris. a funnel is just a funnel. that's what they had in miami. and the weather today will be foggy inland in south florida, especially. just south of that stationary front. showers throughout the state. 81, ft. myers today. 74 for tampa. 62, a lot cooler in tallahassee. another storm up in the north, will be bringing just a few inches of snow for parts of michigan, into parts of the eastern great lakes and up into parts of new england, too. so, not the warmth and the miami-type funnels. but on the west coast, something to note for the weekend, you get about a half-inch of rain for san francisco, and rain down to l.a., as well. >> my first twitter photo comes from wisconsin. it is a sun pillar. that's an actual thing. i just taught you something, dan. i know i see your face, a little eyebrow raised there. >> what is that? >> it's light from the sun. a sun pillar. >> i'll stop asking questions now. >> and this one from california, too. if i could say jeez o. pete, and bring in my midwest vernacular, as you said, i could say y'all. >> we appreciate it. moving on. emotional night at the cotton bowl between oklahoma and texas a&m. despite losing, it was a magnificent finish for one of the sooners players who has inspired everybody, beating cancer while never missing a game this season, even as he went through chemotherapy treatments. ron is back with that story. this is a great story. >> it really is, dan. big-time college football is hard enough. imagine practicing and playing for months. and doing well in the classroom to be named an academic all-american, all the while battling cancer. that's what a young man named austin woods, big number 50, on the oklahoma sooners, did. when austin woods hit the field with his fellow oklahoma sooners for friday night's cotton bowl classic, he was fulfilling a lifelong dream. >> being out there on stage like that is the ultimate dream from when i was a little kid. and it's great to be living it. >> reporter: but it almost didn't happen. earlier this year, during spring practices, woods felt something wasn't right. >> i thought it was mono. i didn't know what it was. >> reporter: late in april, the junior offensive lineman found out it was hodgkin's lymphoma, a form of blood cancer. when he began chemotherapy, it appeared that woods would have to sit out the upcoming season. but he was determined to keep playing. >> a lot of it's up here, between your ears. your attitude and the heart you have. >> reporter: despite the harsh rounds of chemotherapy, which left him exhausted, woods kept coming to practice. >> one day, he'd miss a monday practice because he was in the hospital getting his chemotherapy. tuesday, he'd be out there on the practice field. >> reporter: treatment after treatment, woods charged ahead. on the field, and on his twitter feed, with progress updates like, fighters mentality, round two. six rounds of chemo down. and home stretch. all of them tagged #beatcancer50. his fellow offensive linemen tweeting back, heads shaven in solidarity. his biggest fans are his mom and dad. it was his mother who showed him how to face down the big "c." when she was treated for breast cancer 15 years ago, liz woods didn't miss a single day of work. and then, at last, early in october, woods tweeted, done with chemo. thanks, everyone, for all the support, throughout all my treatments. his cancer was in remission. >> it taught me a lot about myself and what attitude and the right mentality can do towards overcoming obstacles in life. >> and austin is the sooners' backup center. but he saw plenty of action in the cotton bowl. he always wanted to play since he was a little kid. the game didn't turn out so well for the sooners. they lost to texas a&m, 41-13. but for austin, it was a personal triumph in his heroic fight against cancer. >> he won something bigger. >> his mom was a terrific role model. ron, thank you. coming up here on the broadcast, in your face. the story behind these close-up shots. we're going to hear from the photographer who this bear very much wanted to eat. look at those teeth. >> unbelievable. also, matt damon. what does he do to anger a major american industry?

>> chuck todd in washington this morning. thank you very much. retired general stanley mcchrystal was the top commander in afghanistan three years ago. he resigned after a controversial profile in "rolling stone" magazine where he and his advisers were quoted making some disparaging remarks about the president. now he is breaking his silence about that and other things in his memoir called "my share of the task." general, always good to see you. nice having you here. >> thanks, matt. >> chuck hagel, is he qualified for secretary of defense? >> let me first hijack the the show and wish my wife, annie, happy birthday. >> good move. >> i think senator hagel has the experience. he certainly has the quality as a person. the real matter is whether the president has that level of trust. >> outspoken stance against the war in iraq, comments about israel and israel's influence over congress, are those disqualifiers? >> i don't think so. you have to predict the future. they're going to face very complex problems which we can't predict. that level of trust and relationship between those people and with other members of the cabinet are the most important. >> not to put you on the spot, is there another name that jumps out? is there someone that you would have turned to immediately that you would vote for? >> no. >> okay. just thought i would try it. you have a quote in your memoir, as you were dealing with the situation in afghanistan there was an emergence of an ununfortunate deficit of trust between the white house and the department of defense. was that distrust a two-way street? >> yes. i outline in a fair amount of detail, it's about leadership. that's what i'm passionate about. building trust takes time. and it's the essential ingredient of ever solving difficult things, whether it's a marriage, educating kids, fighting a war. you have to build trust between people and organizations. >> did you distrust the people at the white house? did you distrust key members of the obama administration when it came to their policy in dealing with afghanistan? >> i think what's most important is we spent a lot of timesharing information to try to build trust. trust kochl comes with time, wi cooperation and with compromise. i think that's what we worked through. >> with all due respect, you didn't answer my question. did you distrust key members of the administration in with respect to their handling of the war in afghanistan? >> yeah. i still believe that the most important thing we can do is build that trust. over time that's -- >> you're being a good soldier he here. i want to take you back to the "rolling stone" magazine that led to your resignation from your post. there were several demeaning comments attributed to your staff members and even to you. was that article accurate? was that the way you and your staff members felt about those people? >> it's interesting. in my book i outline that in about a page and a half in a 400-page book because that's the level of its importance. there was a lot of things in leadership i dealt with. what i would say is most important is the positive things. i don't think we need another book where we are finger pointing. >> were the quotes in that "rolling stone" article that were attributed to your staff members and you accurate? otherwise you should be coming out against "rolling stone" magazine. were they accurate? >> the most important thing is that's past. i accepted responsibility. i was in command. and as you're in command you're responsible for everything bad that happens and everything good and i respect that. >> of the president, one of your staff members said this about your first meeting with him where they said he didn't seem to be very engaged. the boss was pretty disappointed. one staffer called him a clown. on the american ambassador to afghanistan, carl ikenberry, you were attributed saying he wanted to cover his flank for the history books because he >> well, as i outlined in the book, i try 0 to get into the big picture. and so what i tried to do was show the holistic relationship with people and in general it was very good. >> the last meeting you had with the president when he accepted your resignation, did he demand it or simply accept it? >> i walked into the room with the resignation in my pocket. i offered the president my resignation, but i said i would do whatever was best for the mission. >> was there part of you that wanted him not to accept it? did you want to stay in the job? >> i wanted to stay in the job but i wanted to do what was best for the mission. i felt whatever the president felt was best for the mission was what i needed to do. so i was happy to go with whatever decision -- >> let me be a fly on the wall. was he furious about what had come out in that "rolling stone" magazine? did he express his displeasure with you? >> what was said between the president and i in the oval office really needs to be between us. it was very professional. we had a good relationship before that and i think we still have a good relationship. >> he said this, war is bigger than any one man or woman, whether a private, a jep, or a president. and as difficult as it is to lose general mcchrystal i believe it's the right strategy for our national security. the conduct represented in the recently published article does not meet the standard that should be set by a commanding general. it undermines the civilian control of the military that is at the core of our democratic system. do you agree with that? >> the president's statement that war is bigger than any single individual is absolutely correct. so when i accepted responsibility, i felt it was important that i do what, as a commander, is best for the mission at that time. i'm very comfortable with that. >> you said this, this is your quote. the best leaders are genuine and walk a fine line between self-can confidence and humility. when you graduated from west point you wondered if you would turn out to be the kind of military leader that you admired. did you? >> i think you work on that every day. i think there are days when i did very well and there are days when i didn't. but the key is on the days when you didn't, don't let that become the new standard. push yourself back up to where you know you ought to be every single time. >> any regrets?

how is it that you decided to forgive? >> well, it's a process for that week. i went through and, you know, i felt like my daughter was asking me to forgive connor and i just told her i couldn't and there was no way that i could. at the end i said, well, i'll try. and later on in that week on thursday, i really felt like my daughter was joined with christ and that he and her were asking me to forgive. and i just never had said no before to them and i wasn't going to say no this time. it was just an uplifting of joy and peace. >> kate, this is something that you said took you a little bit longer. yet in that first week you went and visited connor, a boy you knew very well, in jail. what was that like? >> i was very nervous going, because andy had told me the night before that he wanted his message to connor to be that he loved him and he forgave him. and i wanted to take that same message to connor, but i just wasn't sure i was going to be able to say those words when i saw him face to face. i had talked during the week, i had told connor's parents i could not judge connor by that moment because if i did, then i was defining ann by that moment as well. simply as a murder victim and she was so much more than that. so through the nerves, i went up to visit him. and the first thing he did was, you know, he cried and said how sorry he was. i told him, you know, mr. grosmaire loves you and forgives you and i said, you know, i love you and i forgive you. >> some people think this is easy, forgiveness. clearly you are still angry at your daughter's killer. >> really, not really. i'm sad, you know. we're not offering a pardon to him, but it frees us. the forgiveness frees us. it keeps us from going to prison with connor. >> let me bring you in here, michael. one of the first things you did -- which everyone related to this story. you went straight to the hospital where ann was clinging to life in those moments. that must have been an incredibly terrifying thing to do. why did you do it and what did it mean? >> when i left the beach, julie was really worried about me driving in such a state of shock. and she told me she loved me, to drive safely and had the wisdom to say go to the hospital. so on the ride home, i didn't really have any vision of what the hospital would be like. i didn't think about what i would say or do. and i definitely didn't consider the reception that i might encounter. i just knew i had to go. it was the right thing to do. >> julie, this is a tragedy for all concerned. what has it meant to you to experience that forgiveness in a moment that i imagine for you was full of shame and sadness as well. >> i think we're all surprised at the depth of forgiveness we can have. and i think we don't really know what we're capable of forgiving until we're actually in the situation, whether it's a driver cutting you off at a red light or circumstances that are this tragic. but andy and kate grosmaire have publicly demonstrated what true forgiveness looks like. >> i want to talk about this concept of restorative justice. in a sense it's an alternative to a criminal trial. you all get in a room, conor included. he tells you what he did. to go through that? >> it was the hardest thing i've ever done in my life. they say your heart can hurt but that day my heart really hurt. i physically felt like it hurt and it was just very difficult. >> and the facilitator asked us later that night how do you feel about having forgiven conor? and i said i'll have to think about everything he said today and i did consciously tnk about every detail that he gave and challenged myself, is that forgiveness still there? and it was and it still is today. >> he did not get a light sentence. 20 years. more than you actually had asked for. but it certainly is a significant amount of time. >> i just want to say, what we had hoped for was if he was going to serve a 20-year sentence that ten years of it would have been served in prison and ten years could have been served in the community, working in those areas for things that ann loved. >> thank you very much for being here and sharing this story. andy and kate grosmaire, thank you. mike and julie, we thank you as well. we're back after this.

>> i do. and the studies they did with rats and how profound these chemicals are on the reward center of the brain. for some folks they're really powerless not to do them. >> patrick, this is something you've talked about openly. you had your own struggle. and sometimes relapse is part of that struggle. how long have you been sober now and how are you doing?

>> good evening on this friday night. as we come on the air, information is still pouring in about what happened to a passenger flight out of minneapolis today. a pilot was arrested after failing a breathalyzer test. suspected of drinking. what made the authorities suspicious? here's abc's lisa stark with the story. >> reporter: it was early morning, the first flight of the day, when the pilot passed through the security checkpoint. as he was waiting for a nearby elevator, a tsa agent and other officers just happened to walk by and just happened to smell alcohol. as the pilot headed in the cockpit of his american eagle regional jet the worried officers notified airport police. they caught up with the 48-year-old captain kolbjorn kristiansen after he finished pre-flight checks. it was before 6 a.m. just before 53 passengers would have boarded the flight from minneapolis to new york. police say kristiansen failed a preliminary alcohol breath test. he was arrested. >> the reality is, there's no excuse for having alcohol on the pilot. none. >> reporter: the flight took off late. it landed safely at laguardia. some were shocked when they learned why their flight had been delayed. >> i'm feeling very unsafe. >> reporter: the faa says incidents are rare about 12 allegedly drunk pilots arrested a year. in one case in 2002, two america west pilots were caught drinking on surveillance tape the night before their flight. and tsa screeners smelled alcohol on their breath the next morning. the pilots were arrested before the flight took off. >> we are in a dive! >> one of hollywood's current hit movies, flight, focuses on a drunk pilot who pulls off a miraculous crash landing, but then has to face the music. >> this toxicology report states you were drunk. >> the legal limit is .04, half of what's allowed for drivers, but still enough to impair judgement. >> reporter: just to give you an idea just how seriously this is taken, in the most extreme cases, pilots could face up to 15 years in prison. in this case, for kristiansen, his fate is still unknown. we don't know his exact alcohol level. we do know that he has been suspended, pending a full investigation. >> so much more to learn. thank you, lisa stark. now we turn to positive signs today that the battered u.s. economy has entered a new year. in this first week of 2013, the dow closed the day up nearly 500 points, thanks in part to the new jobs report and 155,000 jobs were added last month. unemployment steady at 7.8%. where do we stand tonight. >> i am feeling better. most of the experts and economists i am speaking with are feeling better. tloods a sense momentum is on our side. >> with wall street capping off its first week of the new year with a bang, closing at a five-year high. and with the new today that despite all the worry over washington and looming tax increases, december saw hiring. this year is off and running. last month's hiring was strong in health care and construction. digging into those numbers, we can now see some clear lines as to where the hot jobs of 2013 will be. topping the list -- home health care services, up 9% since 2010. 25-year-old tiffany fields started working as a home aide in april. in this economy, she never dreamt she'd find a job so quickly. >> i graduated and got a job. started making money. happy about that. >> reporter: also nurse practitioners will be in high demand as more americans gain health care coverage with the new federal health care law phasing in. so where are the hot spots geographically? detroit for one. yes, detroit. anyone looking for a job making cars, the motor city is the town for you. with superstorm sandy wrecking hundreds of thousands of cars, and auto sales at a five-year high, 2013 is expected to see an even bigger uptick in car buying. in the northeast, sandy also boosted home construction jobs. but there's also growing need in california and arizona, for contractors, master carpenters, and plumbers and electricians. all in places where homeowners are willing to spend mono their homes. >> a lot of that's driven by the energy sector and technology sector. we're expecting to see that continued growth in the years to come. >> you don't have to wait for the monthly jobs report to gauge the economy. two signs to look out to see the economy is really recovering, new restaurants opening up. consumers feeling more comfortable going out and spending more money. look for an increase in the housing market and home prices rising as well. >> you'll see it in restaurants and home prices. thanks so much. now, we move from the health of the economy to the health of the american family. and a ground-breaking announcement about food safety today. millions of americans get food poisoning from everything from salad to peanut butter. 3,000 die every year. but today the government said it's ready to enforce sweeping ideas. and dr. richard besser is here, he's tracked food illnesses in his career and he's got the big news. >> yeah, i started my career working in food safety. finally we're starting to see rules develop that could make a big difference. this points us to a future where people can eat their dinner without being afraid. jensen farms cantaloupe might not have killed 33. the sunland peanut factory might not have sickened 42. contaminated spinach might not have sent 13 to the hospital just last month. and 8-year-old nate lebron wouldn't have spent three days in the hospital because he ate a peanut butter sandwich. >> the stomach cramps, i was screaming loud and i was saying, why this is happening to me? >> reporter: two years waiting. and finally, rules to take the fear of bacterial contamination away from the produce aisle. from the spinach fields of california to the peanut production lines of new mexico, food safety specialists have spent two years begging for these regulations. >> today's action is a big deal. it's good news for consumers. it's good news for food companies. >> reporter: instead of waiting till there's an outbreak, the new rules aim to prevent outbreaks of food-borne disease from happening in the first place. take peanuts. to be safe, i'd want them tested as they leave the fields. i'd want them processed at temperatures high enough to kill salmonella. i'd want them tested again before they're released to stores. those sorts of things will now be law. two years to come up with rules to cover the riskiest produce. food safety experts are elated. >> for the first time, rather than reacting to problems once they happen, fda is going to be able to prevent problems before people get sick and before food needs to be recalled. >> i talked to all my friends who work on food safety. there's a huge sigh of relief that farms will be required to do the right thing. now when you need to make sure that congress funds the inspectors to look over their shorls. >> you thought a lot of these things were required already. turns out they weren't. how long before the action takes effect? >> a final rule from the government will be a year in coming. but now the industry knows what they'll be held to, people say they'll start making changes right now. that could lead to fewer outbreaks even before the rules become final law. >> you were saying you have confidence that will change the history of food-borne illness in this country. >> that's right. once we hold our domestic producers to this, then we can look at food coming in and hold it to the same standard. this is big for food safety. >> so they can enforce the standards for the food that comes in. 24 hours ago, we watched the resilient children of newtown, connecticut, head back to school for the first time since the shooting. but today, congresswoman gabrielle giffords and her husband, astronaut commander mark kelly went to newtown to meet privately with the families of the victims. there's a photo. and another photo, take a look at this one. inside the oval ofts. because we learned today this was the moment president obama learned of the shooting and of all the children lost. he called it the worst day of his presidency. and also in the news tonight, 67 days after hurricane sandy help is on the way for thousands of victims of that storm. today, under pressure from the governors of new york and new jersey, congress approved $9.7 billion in emergency aid. and the money will help play flood insurance claims for 120,000 people. an additional $51 billion of aid will come up for a vote on january 15th. last night we told you about the flu spreading across the country. tonight it's hit 41 states. here's the map. only a handful of states on the west coast and in the midwest have escaped widespread flu. not only is the flu on the march rlier than usual, more than 2,200 people have been hospitalized and 18 children have died. we want to show you the moment the day when malala yousafzai waved when she left a british hospital. she's the 15-year-old pakistani girl who was targeted by the taliban, shot in the head three months ago because she spoke out for education for girls. she and her family will stay in england. the taliban and pakistan has vowed to target malala again and she still has another round of surgery next month. still ahead here on "world news," the new video that takes you inside the mind of a drug user, to show what it's like to be on a popular drug. and why the us navy is sounding the warning. [ female announcer ] today, jason is here to volunteer to help those in need. when a twinge of back pain surprises him. morning starts in high spirits, but there's a growing pain in his lower back. as lines grow longer, his pain continues to linger. but after a long day of helping others, he gets some helpful advice. just two aleve have the strength to keep back pain away all day. today, jason chose aleve. just two pills for all day pain relief. try aleve d for strong, all day long sinus and headache relief. then i read an article about a study that looked at the long term health benefits of taking multivitamins. they used centrum silver for the study... so i guess my wife was right. [ male announcer ] centrum. always your most complete. can be the worst part. my medicine alone doesn't always give me all the congestion relief i need to sleep.

[ phillips' lady ] live the regular life. phillips'. finally tonight, first let us show you a picture. here it is. it was taken on capitol hill 100 years ago. these are suffragettes who were only dreaming of the day women could vote. they petitioned, they hounded until they persuaded ladies and gentlemenalators to pass the 19th amendment in 1919. because of them women were 53% of the electorate last november november and there are now 20% of the senate seats held by women. women who ran hard campaigns, smart campaigns and won. we gathered together the women who had won those hard-fought races. and look back at pictures of themselves as children to ask, what was the most important advice they were given along the way. first up, the dean of senate women, barbara, mikulski, wake up, assume you are the person who will change the world. >> every day, in you wake up and think about someone other than yourself and say good morning, can i be of help? then you'll make a world that is better. you'll make a difference and you'll work with others to make change. >> the greatest gift in the world is the ability to help someone else. >> i've always found if someone tells you you can't do something it's usually because they're afraid you will. >> these senators, once just kids like the rest of us, say power comes from knowing more than anyone in the room. so seize it. >> when somebody tells you, it's complicated, it's really not. and break it down. and find a way and solve the problem. >> when i signed pictures to classrooms that go across north carolina, i add, read, read, read. >> my advice would be to listen more than you speak. you'll be so surprised what you can learn. >> stand up straight. i stand up in my chair.

[ speaking foreign language ] you know what that means? >> no. >> prenup. prenup, in mandarin. >> i thought you were romantic. >> no. >> thank you. we turn, now, to the two, shocking back-to-back stories about alcohol and airlines. in one case, passengers took matters into their own hands, going to extremes to restrain a drunk passenger. and the other case, a pilot was arrested before takeoff when someone smelled alcohol on his breath. first up, abc's lisa stark joins us from reagan national airport outside washington, with details about that pilot. good morning, lisa. >> reporter: good morning, bianna. it was just in the nick of time. this pilot was set to fly a planeload of passengers from minneapolis to new york. luckily, because of some very alert officials, that never happened. the pilot had already passed through security at the minneapolis airport. and was waiting for an elevator, when a tsa agent, and other officers happened by and smelled what they thought was alcohol. they alerted airport police, who caught up with 48-year-old captain, just before 53 passengers would have boarded the american eagle flight to new york. police say christensen failed a preliminary alcohol breath test. he was arrested. neighbors of the pilot were shocked at the news. >> seemed to be very quiet. but he was a regular, family guy. >> reporter: it's not known what the tests showed. but the legal limit for pilots is 0.04, half the limit for drivers. and equaling roughly two drinks for an average-sized man. >> the airlines take zero tolerance of showing up with liquor in the bloom. >> reporter: one of hollywood's current hit movies, "flight," focuses on a drunk pilot that pulls off a miraculous crash landing. but he doesn't stay a hero for long. pilots can lose their license and get jail time. up to 15 years in extreme krass. in 2002, two america west pilots were caught on tape, partying and drinking for hours the night before their flight. the next morning, tsa screeners smelled alcohol on their breath. the pilots were arrested, convicted, sent to jail. as for the american flight, the airline scrambled to find a replacement pilot. passengers finally arrived in new york more than two hours late, shocked to learn then what had really happened. >> i'm feeling very unsafe. >> reporter: christensen has now been grounded, pending a full investigation. but the associated press, quoting an airline spokesman says, that he was well above the legal limit for that initial breath test, at least. dan? >> serious problems. lisa stark, thank you. now, to another case, another case study, in the pitfalls of mixing alcohol and air travel. take a look at this picture. this is a guy strapped into his seat with duct tape. his fellow passengers say he went on a drunken rampage during an overseas flight. and they had no choice but to tie him down. i want to know who travels with duct tape. john schriffen is here. >> reporter: it seems like we've all been on a flight that would never end because the person next to you was not a considerate neighbor. what happened on this flight to iceland takes it to a new level. one passenger, who the airline has not identified, was allegedly so bad, he had to be dealt with in a special way. this is what happens when your fellow passengers have had enough. according to iceland air, a man onboard their flight thursday from reykjavik thursday to new york's jfk, started acting up. hitting, spitting, even hitting other passengers, the whole time cursing like a storm. then, out of a scene out of "airplane," passengers took matters into their own hands, taping him in a chair. andy ellwood snapped this picture. his gut busting out. but his mouth shut. according to the blog, the began drinking the duty-free liquor onboard. the airline says, quote, he was restrained by passengers and crew. and was monitored for his own safety for the duration of the flight. it's certainly not the first time a passenger was caught behaving badly. alec baldwin was kicked off a flight when he was playing a game on his phone and was kicked off. after this kid cut the lines aboard a plane, his teacher made him apologize to everyone over the loud speaker, asking for forgiveness. as for this man, for the last two hours of the flight, well, he wasn't saying much of anything. upon landing at jfk, the man was met by police and taken to an area hospital to be treated for alcohol poisoning. the port authority won't confirm if this is the man they took into custody. so far, he has not been charged. dan? bianna? >> thank you. >> so many hours. now, to a major public health issue in america, the flu. it is spreading like crazy this season. new numbers from the centers for disease control shows that 41 states is showing widespread outbreak. that's up from two weeks ago. dr. jennifer ashton is here to tell us about that. >> good morning, guys. i think you need to go home after you're finished with the show, bianna. we don't have answers. we don't know why the flu this year is so bad. we don't know how bad it will get. what we do know is that the cases of influenza or flu-like illness are picking up speed. they're gaining momentum. we do expect them to get worse before it gets better. and these are particularly bad strains this year, making people incredibly sick. >> even people who have had flu shots? >> yeah. listen, the flu vaccine is not 100% effective. it varies between 60% to 85% effective. but people who are vaccinated, if they do come down with influenza, seem to have a let severe course of the illness and a shorter course of the illness. it's not too late to get vaccinated. if you can see your doctor and get that vaccine today, it may save your life or someone else's life. >> such an important note. before we go, you were pointing out to me before the broadcast, that these new numbers out this morning are not even telling the full story most likely. >> that's right, dan. there's a lag time when patients go to a health care provider and when the cases get reported to the cdc and when the cdc releases the numbers. it varies about one to two weeks. we're not even close to through the worst part of it. >> one important tip, stay home if you're sick. >> if you're sick and not gotten the vaccine to protect yourself and you're ill, protect others and stay home from work or school. you need to go home. >> she says she doesn't have the flu. >> we'll see about that. >> thank you very much. get the flu shot. now, to a very satisfying story, a payback in the digital age. it's about a guy whose iphone got stolen. he turned into a virtual vigilante, setting up a sting operation with an online dating site. what happened next is hilarious. tanya rivero is here. >> reporter: this is a do not try this at home story of stolen iphone retrieval. the police told this guy he was taking too big a risk, setting up a meeting with the thief. but in the end, it was the thief who got the surprise of his life. this man used some steamy lines to lure a thief into his trap, like this one. hey, i'm here and out of the shower. it started on new year's eve when he left his iphone 4 on the cab. the next morning, he saw someone trolling for dates. >> he was using my okcupid account. so, he created a phony female profile, with a cleveland-bearing photo from the web. >> i was talking to a girl, is adding winky face emoticons. >> reporter: the thief took the bait. you wanna meet? yeah, i kind of do. will you kiss me? he coyly responded, well, i don't have a boyfriend. they made a plan to meet up at his apartment for a date. >> i followed him up the stairs. he turns around. and basically, i confront him right here. and i put the $20 in his hand to diffuse the situation as fast as possible. but i had a hammer in my hand, just in case. >> reporter: the thief handed over the phone, took the money and ran. >> he smelled like cologne. and had a bottle of wine in his hand. >> reporter: he got the phone back. but the thief kept the wine and the cash, making us wonder if the punishment fit the crime. there's no hard feelings. as the thief ran out of the building, he called out to him, you smell nice. >> what a character. he thinks that was his cab driver. >> reporter: he does. but he doesn't have any proof. >> i see. there's a lesson there. carry $20 and a hammer. both. tanya, thank you so much. now, to the newly-revealed picture of princess diana we've been mesmerized by this week. taken right before she would become the most documented woman in the world. looking so young and so innocent. but who is the young man with her? it was a mystery until abc's nick schifrin got down on the case and tracked the mysterious stranger. nick is with us from london. good morning, nick. >> reporter: good morning, bianna. we pieced through every clue. we looked under every manhole. we called every contact we had. it's the biggest mystery since the loch ness monster. we think we solved it. she was just diana spencer. it was 1979. she was 17 years old, skiing in the swiss alps. diana tore her ankle tendon. but she spent a lot of time indoors with a certain silent suitor. >> i can say that the man in the picture is adam russell. >> reporter: adam russell, great grandson of a prime minister. he always liked diana. but he never told her. >> if adam russell had told her how he really felt about her, the british monarchy would be a very different monarchy than we see today. >> reporter: today, russell's a farmer, way down here, dorset, england, where he runs this b&b. >> he traveled the world. and thought he could make a go of it with diana. only to find a friend telling him, too late. you have one rival, prince charles. >> reporter: and that's when diana became, well, the princess. the glass carriage. the dress. that train. one of the most photographed women of all-time. >> when she looked down your lane and she smiled, you know you had a great picture. >> reporter: arthur edwards was one of diana's first photographers. >> she changed the way the royal family worked. completely. she did everything her way. >> reporter: walked in mine fields. helped take the stigma out of aids. everything she did was documented. and yet, this photo disappeared, just two days after diana's engagement. "the mirror" got scared it would offend the palace. >> that's the reason they weren't published. >> reporter: there's whiskey in the corner. a young, happy diana, whose life had been very different. >> if she had fallen for adam russell, she would be herding deer in the south of england. and someone else would be the future queen. >> reporter: now, i called russell down on his farm. he wouldn't tell me much other than confirming him in the photo. he said he looks pretty much the same today. mystery solved. dan, bianna, we're headed up to scotland to find the loch ness monster. >> we're convinced you can do anything, nick. time, now, for the forecast. and for that, as always, ginger zee. ginger, good morning. >> hey, all. it snowed in texas. that's for you, bianna. it's usually san angelo has 2.9 inches each year. yesterday and the day before, 2.8. they're getting a whole season in one day. you're seeing from brownsville, they had schools closed. and they had a lot of fun with that snow, too. el paso had 3.1 inches. abbean, austin, an inch of snow. a funnel was reported outside of miami, just south of it, actually. you can really see it well there. funnel different from tornado. tornado touches, has debris. a funnel is just a funnel. that's what they had in miami. and the weather today will be foggy inland in south florida, especially. just south of that stationary front. showers throughout the state. 74 for tampa. 62, a lot cooler in tallahassee. another storm up in the north, will be bringing just a few inches of snow for parts of michigan, into parts of the eastern great lakes and up into parts of new england, too. not the warmth and the miami-type funnels. but on the west coast, something to note for the weekend, you get about a half-inch of rain good morning, washington. forecaster dave zahran here. t there, chilly saturday morning. high pressure overhead. generally about ve degrees milder than esterday at this time, mid 30's. light winds, but we have higher gus out there. weekend on tap. gh temperatures today, 41 to mostly sunny skies smsm possible tonight. r tomorrow, the big redskins mostly sunny skies, partly sunnby kickoff. >> mfifirst twitter photo comes from wisconsin. it is a sun pillar. that's an actual thing. i know i see your face, a little eyebrow raised there. >> what is that?
