blae busy these days, in fact we're going to get right to the growing crisis oversea, crimean war 2 ukrainian boogaloo. listen. after a week of letting his troop movements do the talking, russian strongman vladimir putin sat down tuesday with his country's of the sensor's media to explain himself. >> this is what i would like to suggest. let's have a conversation rather than an interview. >> jon: you know what i did not see that coming. our conversation, a rap session. i never saw putin as the cool dad. somebody who would pull up a chair, flip around, put on a baseball hat. let's talk about pops. but it's a pleasant surprise, let's get to the conversation. >> i would ask you to begin by stating all your questions. i will jot them down and try to answer them. fine. let us stop here for now. i will begin, don't interrupt me. (laughter) >> jon: i forgot an interesting fact. in russia the word for conversation is the same word as the word for shut the [bleep] up. let me talk. lev laugh first thing's first, you like that, big vladi? first thing's first. all right, vladimir, are there russian troops in the ukraine? >> those are local self-defense units. about the use of military, there is no need for this so far. this is very interesting. have you mentioned to these local self-defense units that they are not from russia, because -- >> i am a russian soldier. i should have let him finish. mi russian soldier. in dream you are having. (laughter) when you wake up, there will be no memory of this. come on, vladimir. >> vladimir, vladimir putin. the soldiers are saying they are from russia. they are speaking russian, they're wearing russian army uniforms, kind of. >> well, look at the former soviet republic. because there are a lot of uniforms that look like them. you can go to a store and buy a uniform. (laughter) >> jon: right, but i'm not sure you can go to the store and buy ten thousand of them. or have that store throw in some russian tanks! or are those just part of crimea's new city tank program. people want to get around, they go in, they do a thing. (applause) this has been quite an enlightening conversation with vladimir putin. and while president putin seems to be channeling jon lovitz's character from snl, yeah, yeah, cry mea, yeah, we're not in crimea, that's the ticket, yeah, perhaps there's something else going on here. >> germany angela merkel told president obama sunday night that after speaking to putin she didn't think he was in touch with reality saying putin was in another world. >> jon: and that brings us to the second portion of our headline. much of the world now sees putin for what he is, semi delusional auto crat who views the dissolution of the soviet union as one of the greatest tragedies of the late -- centro and has confused his owns geo political propaganda for reality. who would be fooled by this guy's [bleep]. >> russia has a real leader. an our president just is-- is incapable and unwilling to lead. >> in a way, you got to hand it to putin. he knows the west is weak. >> putin decide was he wants to do. and he does it in half a day. he makes a decision and he executes it. quickly, then everybody reacts that is what you call a leader. >> jon: that is not what you call a leader. make the quick decision and everybody reacts? that's what you call a toddler. (laughter) honestly. i got to tell you. the weirdest thing about this isn't putin invading ukraine. you expect a crazy guy to act crazy. the weirdest thing is seeing conservatives in our country point at the crazy guy and go i want what they're having. putin likes to hang out with his shirt off. obama wears mom jean, putin tells the west if you mess with me i will kill you all. >> people are looking at putin as one who wrestles bears and drills for oil. they look at our president as one who wears mom jeans and equivocates. >> this is a guy that wrestles tigers while the president wears mom pants. >> jon: what a great talking point that mom jeans turned out to be. here's the thing you got to remember. putin doesn't actually wrestle bears an tigers. that's propaganda. he did once shoot a tiger. but only after that tiger had been pretranquilized and trapped in a snare for him. for god's sakes, how much in an 24 news take el do you upgrade putin from wrestling bears to tiger, but tomorrow it will be he snatched a tot out of the great white shark and made him blow him while obama sat there wristfully wearing capri pants and a baby bonnett. you have to admit there is something ridiculous about a middle-aged world leader riding around shirtless on a horse like conan the bore barrian after a dozen donuts. who thinks this looks good? >> it's like they want obama to seem weak to the russian people. they don't respect weakness. >> putin, bigging strong, muscular on a horse. >> jon: big, strong, muscular on a horse that is an image that looks like it should be air brushed on to the side of a van in a new jersey rest area. (laughter) i have been to that rest area. nice. but fine, you want obama to be more like putin. how would you feel if obama did act a bit more authoritarian. >> did president o bam mais the class about the three equal baferjs branches of government. >> doesn't he act more like king than president. >> he's not the king. >> emperor obama does what he wants to do. >> an imperial president shredding the constitution. >> he gutted the constitution with obama care. >> shoved down the throats of the american people. >> that's a form of tyranny. >> those are the actions of a dictator. >> a obama needs to be reminded he is not a dictator. >> jon: fascinating. let me see if i have this straight. (obama is a week, mom jeans wearing dictator king! weak, weak mom jeans, tyrant, of the worst tyrants of all. what the hell is wrong with these people. what happened to these people as children. that has enabled this love-hate relationship with authoritarian figures and the inherent cognitive disdissonance that goes along with such a chism. you know what i am talking about fox contributor. >> it is funny, putin actually reminded me in a peculiar way of my mother. (laughter) >> jon: go on. >> my mother has a brilliant, uncanny ability to meet someone and within five minutes she can identify their weakness. she knows their weak points.

>> well, immediately he's risk that a gunshot goes off, not just one that gets into the sky but one that is, for example, fired by a drunk soldier, that causes the whole thing to blow and you crane to be in a civil war with russian troops there. but more than that, he has now given up the one piece of power that russia really had after the cold war that had any significance which was the veto in the u.n. security council. because he didn't bother to go to the u.n. before he decided to make this military move and then nobody is going to believe russia ever again when they say but you have to go to the u.n. security council first. >> aw. but let me tell you this, they are not there militarily. >> i understand that. i understand that, yeah. >> jon: you can go out and buy russian military uniforms. >> yes, yes, so i heard. >> jon: an you can learn russian very quickly if you want to. >> right, right. >> jon: this is complicated for not just russia because you talk about putin has given up the moral group if he indeed had any. how tough is it for us to say let's say putin wants to turn it around. i only went in to crimea because this is a region that wants to be part of the russian federation. wants to be independent, like you went into iraq, we are merely spreading democracy in this region. >> well, there is a procedure that should be followed through international law and, in fact, ukraine had already planned that it was going to have a discussion of changing the autonomous status of crimea after the may elections that were coming up. the ukrainian government is actually relatively a democracy. they didn't quite follow the procedures constitutionally when they got rid of yanukovych, the old leader but the way they put in place the new leadership was by a majority vote of a parliament that was elected in an election. and so ukraine is already a democracy. >> does that complicate ukraine's options here if crimea says we have through a popular uprising overthrown the ukrainian leadership and chosen to be part of the russian federation, does ukraine have a leg to stand on when they say but that's not constitutional because they just did a similar maneuver. >> but there is a difference. because what crimea did at the point that the russians had started going in was to replace their leadership with a new leader so that part was parallel to what had happened in kiev and the major part of ukraine. but the idea of just breaking away as a province going off on its own, that-- that is not in any kind of international legal framework that has to come with the permission, the discussion of the entire population of ukraine, not just the province by itself. >> how complicate wood it be if you held that discussion with the entoire province. because i know listen, i'm sure the kurds are watching this and thinking i didn't know you could do that. i was-- i-- in iraq, part of turkey there are many regions where there is a majority population, perhaps not in control politically that would like to establish their autonomy ethnically. >> but you know, only 58% of the people in crimea are ethnically russian or so we think from 29001 census. there is a big minority of crimean-- who were really just faced terrible persecution throughout the soviet period, now have-- . >> jon: so not -- they are not neutral towards russia, they are-- they are actively hostile. >> frightened of russia. and they have explicitly said they have their own form of a little inform democratic group that gets together and meets. and they said this group supports ukraine and they want ukraine and the entire population of ukraine to be involved in this decision. >> jon: i understand, you know, look, russia did this in georgia. but georgia is nowhere near the military of the ukraine. i mean ukraine is in an enormous country in and of itself with a very well established military. >> yes. the military in ukraine is not as strong as we might like it to be. but they've certainly cooperated with the u.s. and nato all around the world. and it seems like they're holding. and that's the one really positive things that gives stability in this situation. but the ground forces are still holding that little piece of land that connects crimea to the rest of ukraine. when that naval commander said he was defecting to the crimean side none of the officers want with him. when russian helicopters try to go to the crimean part of the country into the rest of ukraine, they were stopped by the ukrainian air force, so far that means it is a contained problem. >> jon: so basically putin has won and the west is weak. thank you for being here. will you stick and for a little bit. we'll talk briefly more, a couple of things i wanted to ask you. kimberly martin. what could possibly hold together all the natural energy found in peanuts?

missed some high drama. >> apparently cliven bundy, more sophisticated mother, al, more athletic brother, king kong. >> cliven bundy has been grazing his cattle illegally in nevada about 20 years now, about $1 million in grazing fees, penalties and fees, fortunately he is ignored court orders of cease and desist. >> the federal bureau of land management came to take his cattle, it is your standard cow has, boy has cow for 20 years, boy loses cow stories, or so we thought. hundreds of armed militia men rally to support the bend difficults. >> heading them off at gunpoint. >> he joined the protesters, he and other militia men are not afraid to shoot if necessary. >> we were actually strategizing to put all the women up at the front, if they are going to start shooting it is going to be women that are going to be televised all across the world getting shot but these rogue federal officers. >> jon: anyway, happy valentine's day, sweety. >> he seems kind of -- apparently we have ourselves a standoff at wounded loin, yes. the armed standoff over this man illegally grazing his cattle is the subject of tonight's new segment, i don't get it. >> brought to you by -- huh? >> huh? it is a sound you make when you don't get it. >> look, i understand this is the west, everyone wants to romanticize it, last frontier of liberty, riding the rails on the open range, eating a tremendous amount of beans around the campfire, not caring about the normal social consequences of eating those beans because who is going to complain? the coyotes? not if they know what is good for them. >> babing! >> babing. >> that's the noise you make to scare them away. >> how is this guy bundy a hero how is this guy bundy a hero for ignoring federal law and what is the justification? >> i abide by all of nevada state laws, but i don't recognize the united states government as even existing. [laughter.] >> jon: i am as against government overreach as the next guy, but i don't think the federal government is overreaching by saying it exists. >> this guy -- heck, i am just a simple fellow, some folks call a car tiegs, rene descartes. >> and without immediate sensory proof, i won't take the united states government existence as prima facie existence. just all (bleep) in the jars. i have to pay you for grazing my imaginary brain jar cattle? who do you take me for? jon rock? patoo! patoo! >> right now, somewhere a junior philosophy major just (bleep)ed in his pants. >> all right. things, to prove the government exists did you look at the end of that. you see that thing you are holding there, fellow? if you ou reject the federal american government at least have the decency to create your own damned flag. >> i don't give the confederacy credit for much but at least they had a graphic design team worth a (bleep). >> so, so the court isn't on bundy's side or the government, even the nevada government isn't on his side, who is on his side? >> have you thought about why you think your case has resonate sod much with the american people? >> hannity! >> i still don't get it. >> it is not like they want to build a school, a road or a hospital. that land is going to stay vacant whether or not your cattle are on it or not, right? when your cattle graze there, that keeps the price of meat down for every american consumer. >> yes, it is cheaper when you steal the raw materials necessary for meat. >> in fact have you seen the prices at fell off the truck mart? so apparently sean hannity thinks laws are cart blank style. >> the ones you don't like won't, you don't have to abide. >> but the immigration healthcare law pundit, a mr. sean hannity. >> you believe we should obey the laws you want to obey. obey the laws you like? >> no, no. >> that's all? why don't you join with me, juan and say everybody should who bay the law, tell me how the president can unilaterally pick and choose which part of the law he will uphold at whatever time he chooses. >> jon: the guy is not even wearing a cowboy hat. >> apparently he selects cowboy hats which laws you will obey like a legal swording hat. >> by the way, that is the worst harry potter ever. >> or maybe sean just respects people who fight for their principles, even after they lose their case in court. >> a group of atheists lost their battle with the state of utah over 14 steel cross highway memorials, and the judge's ruling, you guys lost. >> that will be overturned. >> it is law. >> jon: ah. i guess unless your friends are armed and ready to have your womenfolk shot. [laughter.] >> jon: now, i know you don't like people scamming off the taxpayers, sean. >> my next guest is a california surfer, he lives on food stamps, i want you to realize you are taking other people's money and you are living a selfish life. >> jon: first of all -- [laughter.] >> jon: -- there is no way that (bleep) that guy's hair. did you see that? that is young hair but underneath those glasses is an old face. and otherwise hannity would be fine for hannity paying for his meals if he had other hair. >> also it would be cool to see a surfing cow. it seems like something about this bundy feller is blinding hannity to all the things that would normally drive hannity mad with rage this is it the hat because we can give him a different hat. and you know what? maybe a different hairstyle. and a new shirt. and a pair of devil sticks. >> oh, no, he is an occupy wall street protester. >> trespassing on land that doesn't belong to him, get 'em, sean! >> you are protester of the day and you go home at night and take a shower. >> take over a park and sleep on the street. >> jon: now that is the way you talk to a trespasser who votes differently than you. how out there is hannity on this issue? >> i have cattle. and i have people that graze on my land, grazing fees are normal, and you stopped paying them. there are some people that would say that you are, let me quote a welfare rancher. >> jon: sean hannity has now made glenn beck the voice of reason. [laughter.] [ applause ] >> jon: if you want, if you want to challenge the amount of federal land the government owns in the state of nevada, fine, make your case to the voters, if you want to challenge the concept of grazing fees, fine but hannity's puffery and armed friends don't make you a patriot. >> maybe i am a little bit like the founding fathers. >> jon: your welfare rancher is trying to pull off the largest cattle dine and --. largest cattle dine and --. nobody ever stomped their foot and asked for less. because what we all really want... ...is more. there's a reason it's called an "all you can eat" buffet. and not a "have just a little buffet". that's the idea behind the more everything plan. it's more of everything you want, for less. because, c'mon. no one ever takes the second biggest cookie. get more with our best plans on the best network. for best results, use verizon. ♪ oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ♪ i'm ten feet tall that witnessed that thing he shouldn't have and got put in that program you're not supposed to know about? he gets to go away for a while to a place we can't talk about and eat velveeta shells & cheese. liquid gold. eat like that guy you know. liquid gold. because i went to kfc and got this delicious 10 piece meal.

>> well, i share the president's priority of dealing with the issue of climate change, first and foremost. >> jon: now, see, that is the first part of that issue getting over half the congress to admit that it is happening? >> actually, we tried that first. >> jon: how did that go? >> not well, not well. not well. actually, the president, what is great even before i started the job he put out a climate action plan and what he said was the administration is going to take action, we are not waiting for climate. he started it as part of the leadership the president has to bring to the country and also is looking at i think what is a father of two beautiful children and he stood up and said it is a moral obligation. i agree with him. we have got to fight for the next generation. >> jon: but what would -- what would do it? you know, we have to fight for it. if you talked to the fossil fuel companies they would say, any type of restriction on what they do would lead us to an economic apocalypse if you talked to the scientists they say by not doing it we will have a climate apocalypse. i guess my question is, which apocalypse should i pray for? because i am choosing between two apocalypses. >> they have to look at the history. epa a has been around for 40 years and we learned a way to avoid apocalypses we clean up the air, 70 percent in our air pollution while we doubled the gdp, it can be done and with climate we have to move forward in a common sense way. take a look at what the president did in his light vehicle rule -- >> jon: oh, sitting looking and what the president -- it is whatever that thing is. >> fuel efficient cars. >> jon: that's what i am doing. i have what you call a nesting hummer. a hummer inside a hummer inside a hummer. >> sounds russian. >> jon: it is! it is! >> it might not be russian, though. >> jon: it's true. >> he doubled the fuel economy by 20-20 five, that lowered significantly greenhouse gas emissions from sources and at the same time you will get more fuel efficient cars and the car companies didn't die. >> jon: i don't think there is any question we are doing fine in the economy and all of these regulations put the mom and pop oil companies out of business. that didn't come out right. you know what i am talking about. you know, if you had your druthers, let's say you guys, you didn't have to convince half the congress this is real, what would you do? >> i don't think we would do have to convince them it is real. the scientists tell us it is real. what we are actually trying to do is take common sense steps in moving forward. one of the things we are doing in june is we are doing a carbon pollution standard for power plants. >> jon: right. >> the power plants are the biggest source of greenhouse gases. >> jon: are there no carbon pollution standards for them presently. >> no. there is not a standard on carbon with these power plants. and we think it is just as noxious as sulfur and we are going to go for it. >> jon: what is the differential? not because i am speaking for a friend, it is not like i burn things in my backyard. i am just curious, how much is there now and how much are we looking at? >> we are going to regulate it under the clean air act and it tells us we have to take steps forward to reduce it. we are going to take a look at what we need to do and we are going to make it flexible, you are going to get some significant greenhouse gas reduction out of it. really you can do that, it is safe, and communities have been reducing their greenhouse gas emissions for a long time. we are not talking about taking any fuel out of the system. >> jon: right. >> we are talking about making things more efficient. we are talking about investments in efficiency. we are talking about renewable energy and talking about a future that is actually looks pretty good. >> jon: but can't you make a more winning argument this is about efficiency and about creating energy in a better way because i think if you say to these companies we don't want to pollute with carbon they will say what about, what about china's economy? what about india's economy? what about these growing, you know, we got ours in the industrial revolution, what about these countries that are now building their middle classes and what about states like texas that don't listen? >> actually -- [laughter.] >> we are actually not talking about going backwards. we are talking about positioning the u.s. for the future, as well as those companies. they know they can invest in renewable energy and know they can make it work in an energy mix and so our job really is to try to drive those reductions nationally but to make sure every state is differently positioned. some have already done really aggressive energy efficient city work and we can do a whole lot more. >> jon: but how much is the might be, even with the boiler rules they had, they made a big deal about it would save 6,000 lives -- >> and by -- >> jon: i knew but i thought it was funny. and it is a thing i do, oh, look at me. save 6,600 lives they come up with a standard, what is it in february 2011 but they don't implement it until after the election, and posted an article this is political pressure, they say, i mean, how much of that is real? >> the timeline in the rule is set in statute. >> jon: i mean when it gets implemented. i know it is in the statute. >> that is what is in the statute is when it needs to be implement sod none of this is following politics. >> jon: i see. >> it is following, i hope and i think, what is best for america. and if we don't start dealing with climate change which is the biggest public health challenge that we face, as well as the biggest economic challenge we face, and think of it both from an environmental and an economic standpoint, then i think we will lose it for the next generation and our own, frankly. [ applause ] >> jon: i appreciate you being here and next year, you will run the marathon, yes? >> we will talk about that. >> jon: all right. well, thank you very much for being here, i appreciate it. gina mccarthy. we will be right back.

captioning sponsored by comedy central welcome to the report, everybody, good to you have with us. >> stephen, stephen, stephen! stephen, stephen, stephen. >> thank you, ladies and yes. >> thank you so much, nation. (cheers and applause) nation, i hope that-- anybody watching out there that if you know me at all you know that i am a huge supporter of the war on terror. it is a much better battle against an abstract concept than our war on appate. (laughter) frankly, i just couldn't see the point of that one. well, last week, folks, we got the bombshell news on the people we're shelling with bombs. jim? >> u.s. intelligence analysts are examining a video that appears to show the largest al qaeda gathering in years. the recording recently appeared on jihadist web sites, the men are meeting in a rugged mountainous area. >> this video is part al qaeda pep rally and part propaganda. >> stephen: and this pep rally propaganda or prepa-ganda has been a huge viral success, especially with those jihaddists who have been waiting years for the sequel to their first hit, monkey bars! but this weekend the video got one resounding down vote. >> the large attack under way against an al qaeda affiliate in yemen just days after cnn first aired this video showing the group and its leadership meeting up in the open for everyone to see. >> yemeni officials are calling the operation unprecedented killing at least 65 militants. >> stephen: folks, let this be a lesson to everybody out there. terrorists, but also teen, be careful what you post on social media, okay? remember, it seems innocent enough but it will be out there for the rest of your life, which for these guys was about five days. (laughter) if you really must upload your embarrassing party than will you make sure geo tagging is off. then post-it where you are sure no one will see it. like google plus. (laughter) now nation i don't mean-- sound advice. that is stephen's sound advice. nation, i don't mean to alarm you but hillary clinton continue its to exist. (laughter) she is the biggest threat to republicans in 2016 other than republicans in 2014. (laughter) and she has just become more threatening. >> we have been anticipating an announcement about hillary clinton's future. and today we got one. she's going to be a grandmother. >> stephen: now obviously news of a grandchild is a joyous occasion. sow i just want to take a moment right now to put toll particular-- politic as side and offer the clinton family a heartfelt congratulations for such a shrewd political move. (laughter) right? right, fox news? >> i think a lot of this maybe this was planned. >> stephen: yes. maybe this was planned. and we all know only the most devious people would ever plan a pregnancy. (laughter) clear, clearly, folks, hillary clinton has engineered the birth of her first grandchild in a craven political ploy to seem endearing. i mean not even barack obama ever stooped to becoming a grandmother. (laughter) it's o obvious that she clearly sat down with her daughter and time up chelsea oflation cycle with the political calendar. there is no other motivation for a couple in their 60s to want their daughter to give them a grandchild. (laughter) but some na-na naysayers say nay ney ney. >> don't you think that they are entitled to try to very a baby whenever they want. and by the way, if it was going to be planned t would be planned for next year when the campaign might actually be under way. >> stephen: good point, howie. if it was planned, the child would be born around the iowa caucuses. i mean what a waste of a perfectly good pregnancy. so that's not the only big news to come out of hillary's still mulling over whether this is the campaign. last week she was viciously attacked. >> between secretary of state and the possible run for president, hillary clinton found herself under fire as the keynote speaker at the las vegas convention of the scrap recycling industry. >> it's already recycling. >> a woman in the audience threw a shoe as clinton was speaking-- speaking yesterday. fortunately her aim wasn't very good. >> what was that, a bat. was that a bat? is that somebody throwing something at me? is that part of cirque du soleil? (laughter) >> stephen: no, no secretary clinton f it was part of cirque du soleil the shoe would have performed a two-hour dream opera. and then charged you $200 a ticket. (laughter) now folks, i do not trust hillary clinton. and there's a ton of persons who agree with me. >> we had a call yesterday and basically this woman's theory is that mrs. clinton staged the whole incident where somebody threw a shoe at her. the clinton will well-known for staging things. do the clinton stage things? heck yes, they stage things. therefore s it outrageous that somebody would call here and think maybe hillary staged the shoe throwing-- no, it isn't outrageous. >> stephen: of course it could have been staged. i mean think about it, she was standing on a stage. (laughter) folks, there's a conspiracy of foot afoot. which can only be fully addressed in my long running segment, stephen colbert's [bleep] serious. >> hear me out. >> stephen: where i explore conspiracy theories and pose the hard questions like in nine years why have i only done this segment once before? (laughter) what do they not want you to know? and if i'm in charge of my show, are they me? (laughter) now we may know the footwear but we're still trying to figure out the foot-why. rush? >> i don't know why anybody would be throwing a shoe at hillary unless, and maybe it's an attempt to make the benghazi people look like nuts and lunatics and wackos even if it had anything to do with that which i don't know. >> stephen: yes, yes. yes. (applause) (cheers and applause) >> stephen: yes, it's all part of hillary's plan to make the benghazi people look like wackos even if it even had anything to do with that which rush and i don't know because if it didn't then we look like wackos for bringing up benghazi now for no reason. oh, you're good! and folks, there are other-- (applause) there are other-- (laughter) she clearly planned it. no, no, we've got to go. folks there are other brave shoe truthers or shouther like hermann caine who tweeted for the clin enand to the web site where a blogger put she doesn't put her hands up to protect herself and doesn't duck out of the way until the shoe already passed her and if there is one thing he knows is what to do when someone throws a shoe at you. >> oh shucky ducky. >> stephen: yes, but hillary, hillary, hillary did not shucky duck fast enough. and anyone, anyone who has thrown a shoe at a 66-year-old woman knows they react with cobra speed. (laughter) (applause) hillary, hillary's motivation-- i think you might be seeing more of this photo in the future. yes, i'm a psychic. hillary's motivation for staging this shoe-spiracy are obvious as a post on fox news's bernie goldberg's blog suggests, remembering the bush incident, she may have calculated this would make her seem presidential. yes! yes, she has stolen president bush's most presidential moment, the only way, only way hillary clinton could seem more like a leader is if she choked on a pretzel while falling off a segue. i mean think about it. (cheers and applause) think about it! either this incident was one tiny machination in the vast master plan meticulously orchestrated by the clinton core, or some crazy lady threw a shoe at her. ask yourself this. which one of those two possibilities lets me talk about it for six minutes? (laughter) now continue to think about it, hillary is so devious it is possible even losing the 2000 primary was part of her scheme. that way she doesn't become president in 2008, she can't get re-elected in 2012, steering a path for a shoe to be thrown at her the very same week we learn chelsea is pregnant. (cheers and applause) i mean it's like we're playing checkers and she's not so we're playing her side too and she's still beating us. (laughter) well, that's it for this edition of stephen colbert's [bleep] they arists unless are you listening to this from your fillings, in which case, i'll be with all night long. we'll be right back this is smith & forge hard cider. it's like jasper here. strong. sturdy. but not too sweet. [ male announcer ] built from apples. built to refresh. smith & forge hard cider. made strong. smith & forge hard cider. [boy] mom!ughs] [mom] yes? [boy] whoa,whoa,whoa... [mom and dad] [laughing] [boy] whoa,whoa,whoa... [mom] you've got two left feet,boo. >> welcome back, folks. folks, thank you so much. folks, i hope-- you checked your calendar you will know that yesterday was easter. so i just want to wish everybody a happy easter. but not for yesterday, for next season, okay. let me get things out early. while i'm at it happy labor day, now get back to work, peoplement but sadly recent pew research from the pew research center found that the percentage of americans who say the seldom or never attend religious services has risen. people aren't going to church. evidently, somebody blabbed about the god is everywhere loophole. thankfully, this year some churches began spending money on giveaways and prizes in hopes of boosting atendance on easter sunday. alas, prizes. i mean what else were they going to lure people in w the promise of unconditional love and eternal salvation. they gave that out last year. now folks, falling attendance is worse among men, christianity has become unmanly. a lot of priests don't even have girlfriends. which is why i was happy to hear that some churches have found a way to put the dude back in deuteronomy, according to the "new york times", a small but growing number of evangelical churches have embraced mixed martial arts to convert young men. that makes sense. it's like jesus said f anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other check then keep turning until you deliver a round house kicking his jaw. yah! (cheers and applause) yah! all this hard-core mma church action is in a new documentary called fight church. >> as christians, there are times where you take shots. that's where the bible gives you your training. >> i don't look like the typical pastor and that's okay within a couple of god fearing men punching each other in the face. >> ladies and gentlemen, this is pastor versus pastor. >> you got to learn to put your foot on his neck. somebody shout jesus. >> stephen: yes, somebody shout jesus! but probably not the guy with the foot on his neck. (laughter) all this time all this time we've been turning to jesus for answers to our deepest questions. but we missed the most central question of all. >> can you love your neighbor as yourself and then at the same time knee him in the face? (laughter) >> stephen: yes, you can. especially if he keeps raking his leaves into your yard. this is the last warning, allen! and rest assured, folks, all this face kneeing is based on scripture. >> there is a verse in the bibele that says be wary when all men speak well of you. if everybody loves you, you are doing something wrong. >> stephen: and nothing makes you not be loved by someone quite like shattering his clavicle. which means you got to be doing something right. but at the end of the day fight church is about spreading the word. >> this is a battlefield. we need to charge him, not wait for them to come to us. >> at the end of the day it's about reaching people with the gospel regardless of what you do to introduce them to relationship with jesus christ. >> stephen: yes, it's a relationship with jesus christ. it's like a blind date during which you may be blinded. (laughter) but i say we can take hand to hand holy war even further. i mean if watching two christians attack each other is fun wa, about a christian and a lion? (laughter) with action like that i bet you could fill up a stadium. we'll be right back. (cheers and applause) tonight i am off the grid. i'm on vacation. because i went to kfc and got this delicious 10 piece meal. [sigh] love it. kfc chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, coleslaw, biscuits, and the kicker - free lemon cake. came with the meal. right there. seriously.

(cheers and applause) hey, how are you. welcome back. >> thank you. >> okay, everybody knows ken burns, civil war, baseball, you got how many, you got two gram eyes, three peabody's, most impressively this is your sixth trip back to my show. >> exactly. >> stephen: what keeps the ken burns motor running? >> i'm working seven projects at once skz you're kidding. >> no, seven. >> stephen: you have a problem. >> i do. >> stephen: you're addict food history. >> i am addicted to history and i would be pregnant if i were a woman because i can't say no to a project. >> stephen: wow! that's bold. okay. your new project is called the address, film by ken burns. it just premiered april 15th. it is also available on dvd from the good people at pbs. now the address, the gettysburg address. >> exactly. >> stephen: what's the big deal about the gettysburg address, you know t gets a lot of press, a lot of press because it is short, you know t is easy to get through. >> it's lincoln-- . >> stephen: but is it really that good? or how much of it is hype? >> no hype, it's really that good. >> stephen: it's only 272 words. if it was good, i'm going to keep talking f it was good, wouldn't there be more of it? >> no, that's the beauty. pure presidential poetry, he's doubling down on the declaration of independence. because thomas jefferson said all men are created equal but he owned other human beings. lincoln freed those human beings and set in motion a kind of 2.0 version which the gettysburg address is we haven't replaced it. and in 272 words, in 10 sentence, the first one four score and seven years is where we've been, now we are engaged in a great civil war is where we are, and the rest are about pulling us into a future that we have become. he asked us to be a different kind of people to have a new verse of freedom. and this film is about a small school in vermont where the kids suffer from dix lexia, adhd, a whole host of learning differences that makes their passage through school very challenging. but each year the school for the 35 years it has been in existence has challenged the kids to first mem orize it and then publicly recite the gettysburg address. >> stephen: and they compete against each other to be the one without gets to do this. >> no, no, they all do it they all mem orize it, and they have all-- . >> stephen: but does somebody win, isn't there a winner, is there a winner? because it sounds like you're having child fights against each other. just 50 children. >> exactly, no, no, there is a middle school and a high school, first, second and third. but they're all winners because they overcome this, look, we don't do any mem orization in school any more. we used to mem orize a lot of stuff. >> i didn't do it before. >> we actually have a clip of the film. let's take a look. >> we have divided the gettysburg into five paragraphs for learning. >> four score and seven years ago our fathers-- brought forth on this continent a new nation with liberty and dedicated to the -- that all men are created equal. >> did you that very well. you can tell them what was going on in paragraph 1, about four score. >> how america-- about what is happening. >> our father. >> on this -- >> to the proposition. >> that all-- are equal. >> stephen: if lincoln had lost the war would we be mem orizing this? >> that's so interesting. >> stephen: of course, i asked it? (laughter) >> selby foot in the civil war said as a mississippian that even though he, his people had lost the civil war, he was asked to mem orize it because it was such an extraordinary piece of diction such an extraordinary piece of rhetoric that it sort of would be remembered regardless. so i had never thought about it the other way. >> stephen: you started another project, what is it called, learn the address. >> yes. >> stephen: you were trying to get everybody in america to learn this address. >> yes, we were challenging everybody. if you go to learn the address.org you have all the living presidents, notable people, stephen colbert, lots of-- . >> stephen: how did you get him? (laughter) >> it was really tough. it was tough but de it. >> stephen: but why this address? i mean there are some great presidential speeches out there. why not william henry harrison's 400 words presidential inaugural address that was so powerful that it killed him. >> that he died! >> stephen: one month later. i mean that is a speech to mem orize. (applause) maybe the next film. >> maybe, the presidency of william henry harrison. >> stephen: that would be a very short documentary. it's a station break on pbs. >> then i can't do it. >> stephen: ken burns, the-- res, we'll be right back. for paul ridley there's no substitute for advil. it's built to be as fast as it is strong and fights pain at the site of inflammation. and made for people like paul, who believe nothing should stop you from achieving your goals. not doubt. not fear. and definitely not back and shoulder pain. advil has the strength and speed to help you move past pain and make today yours. advil. make today yours. >> stephen: that's it for the reports captioning sponsored by comedy central captioned by media access group at wgbh access.wgbh.org it is 11:59 and 59 seconds, this happened on youtube today. this is -- that is what it looks like. music video that unicef india posted, are you ready, encouraging people to not poop in the street! we have youtube for walking, walking and not a pooping, because and i am glad they put this video on youtube because the same
administrator, gina mccarthy, i am going to ask about fracking. but first, while we were off we missed some high drama. >> apparently cliven bundy, more sophisticated mother, al, more athletic brother, king kong. >> cliven bundy has been grazing his cattle illegally in nevada about 20 years now, about $1 million in grazing fees, penalties and fees, fortunately he is ignored court orders of cease and desist. >> the federal bureau of land management came to take his cattle, it is your standard cow has, boy has cow for 20 years, boy loses cow stories, or so we thought. hundreds of armed militia men rally to support the bend difficults. >> heading them off at gunpoint. >> he joined the protesters, he and other militia men are not afraid to shoot if necessary. >> we were actually strategizing to put all the women up at the front, if they are going to start shooting it is going to be women that are going to be televised all across the world getting shot but these rogue federal officers. >> jon: anyway, happy valentine's day, sweety. >> he seems kind of -- apparently we have ourselves a standoff at wounded loin, yes. the armed standoff over this man illegally grazing his cattle is the subject of tonight's new segment, i don't get it. >> brought to you by -- huh? >> huh? it is a sound you make when you don't get it. >> look, i understand this is the west, everyone wants to romanticize it, last frontier of liberty, riding the rails on the open range, eating a tremendous amount of beans around the campfire, not caring about the normal social consequences of eating those beans because who is going to complain? the coyotes? not if they know what is good for them. >> babing! >> babing. >> that's the noise you make to scare them away. >> how is this guy bundy a hero how is this guy bundy a hero for ignoring federal law and what is the justification? >> i abide by all of nevada state laws, but i don't recognize the united states government as even existing. [laughter.] >> jon: i am as against government overreach as the next guy, but i don't think the federal government is overreaching by saying it exists. >> this guy -- heck, i am just a simple fellow, some folks call a car tiegs, rene descartes. >> and without immediate sensory proof, i won't take the united states government existence as prima facie existence. just all (bleep) in the jars. i have to pay you for grazing my imaginary brain jar cattle? who do you take me for? jon rock? patoo! patoo! >> right now, somewhere a junior philosophy major just (bleep)ed in his pants. >> all right. things, to prove the government exists did you look at the end of that. you see that thing you are holding there, fellow? if you ou reject the federal american government at least have the decency to create your own damned flag. >> i don't give the confederacy credit for much but at least they had a graphic design team worth a (bleep). >> so, so the court isn't on bundy's side or the government, even the nevada government isn't on his side, who is on his side? >> have you thought about why you think your case has resonate sod much with the american people? >> hannity! >> i still don't get it. >> it is not like they want to build a school, a road or a hospital. that land is going to stay vacant whether or not your cattle are on it or not, right? when your cattle graze there, that keeps the price of meat down for every american consumer. >> yes, it is cheaper when you steal the raw materials necessary for meat. >> in fact have you seen the prices at fell off the truck mart? so apparently sean hannity thinks laws are cart blank style. >> the ones you don't like won't, you don't have to abide. >> but the immigration healthcare law pundit, a mr. sean hannity. >> you believe we should obey the laws you want to obey. obey the laws you like? >> no, no. >> that's all? why don't you join with me, juan and say everybody should who bay the law, tell me how the president can unilaterally pick and choose which part of the law he will uphold at whatever time he chooses. >> jon: the guy is not even wearing a cowboy hat. >> apparently he selects cowboy hats which laws you will obey like a legal swording hat. >> by the way, that is the worst harry potter ever. >> or maybe sean just respects people who fight for their principles, even after they lose their case in court. >> a group of atheists lost their battle with the state of utah over 14 steel cross highway memorials, and the judge's ruling, you guys lost. >> that will be overturned. >> it is law. >> jon: ah. i guess unless your friends are armed and ready to have your womenfolk shot. [laughter.] >> jon: now, i know you don't like people scamming off the taxpayers, sean. >> my next guest is a california surfer, he lives on food stamps, i want you to realize you are taking other people's money and you are living a selfish life. >> jon: first of all -- [laughter.] >> jon: -- there is no way that (bleep) that guy's hair. did you see that? that is young hair but underneath those glasses is an old face. and otherwise hannity would be fine for hannity paying for his meals if he had other hair. >> also it would be cool to see a surfing cow. it seems like something about this bundy feller is blinding hannity to all the things that would normally drive hannity mad with rage this is it the hat because we can give him a different hat. and you know what? maybe a different hairstyle. and a new shirt. and a pair of devil sticks. >> oh, no, he is an occupy wall street protester. >> trespassing on land that doesn't belong to him, get 'em, sean! >> you are protester of the day and you go home at night and take a shower. >> take over a park and sleep on the street. >> jon: now that is the way you talk to a trespasser who votes differently than you. how out there is hannity on this issue? >> i have cattle. and i have people that graze on my land, grazing fees are normal, and you stopped paying them. there are some people that would say that you are, let me quote a welfare rancher. >> jon: sean hannity has now made glenn beck the voice of reason.

>> oh, just about six, seven months. >> jon: and are we clean yet? the hair, the water? >> huge, huge movement forward since i started, yes. >> jon: tremendous? >> yes. >> jon: what is for you stepping in what is your priority? >> well, i share the president's priority of dealing with the issue of climate change, first and foremost. >> jon: now, see, that is the first part of that issue getting over half the congress to admit that it is happening? >> actually, we tried that first. >> jon: how did that go? >> not well, not well. not well. actually, the president, what is great even before i started the job he put out a climate action plan and what he said was the administration is going to take action, we are not waiting for climate. he started it as part of the leadership the president has to bring to the country and also is looking at i think what is a father of two beautiful children and he stood up and said it is a moral obligation. i agree with him. we have got to fight for the next generation. >> jon: but what would -- what would do it? you know, we have to fight for it. if you talked to the fossil fuel companies they would say, any type of restriction on what they do would lead us to an economic apocalypse if you talked to the scientists they say by not doing it we will have a climate apocalypse. i guess my question is, which apocalypse should i pray for? because i am choosing between two apocalypses. >> they have to look at the history. epa a has been around for 40 years and we learned a way to avoid apocalypses we clean up the air, 70 percent in our air pollution while we doubled the gdp, it can be done and with climate we have to move forward in a common sense way. take a look at what the president did in his light vehicle rule -- >> jon: oh, sitting looking and what the president -- it is whatever that thing is. >> fuel efficient cars. >> jon: that's what i am doing. i have what you call a nesting hummer. a hummer inside a hummer inside a hummer. >> sounds russian. >> jon: it is! it is! >> it might not be russian, though. >> jon: it's true. >> he doubled the fuel economy by 20-20 five, that lowered significantly greenhouse gas emissions from sources and at the same time you will get more fuel efficient cars and the car companies didn't die. >> jon: i don't think there is any question we are doing fine in the economy and all of these regulations put the mom and pop oil companies out of business. that didn't come out right. you know what i am talking about. you know, if you had your druthers, let's say you guys, you didn't have to convince half the congress this is real, what would you do? >> i don't think we would do have to convince them it is real. the scientists tell us it is real. what we are actually trying to do is take common sense steps in moving forward. one of the things we are doing in june is we are doing a carbon pollution standard for power plants. >> jon: right. >> the power plants are the biggest source of greenhouse gases. >> jon: are there no carbon pollution standards for them presently. >> no. there is not a standard on carbon with these power plants. and we think it is just as noxious as sulfur and we are going to go for it. >> jon: what is the differential? not because i am speaking for a friend, it is not like i burn things in my backyard. i am just curious, how much is there now and how much are we looking at? >> we are going to regulate it under the clean air act and it tells us we have to take steps forward to reduce it. we are going to take a look at what we need to do and we are going to make it flexible, you are going to get some significant greenhouse gas reduction out of it. really you can do that, it is safe, and communities have been reducing their greenhouse gas emissions for a long time. we are not talking about taking any fuel out of the system. >> jon: right. >> we are talking about making things more efficient. we are talking about investments in efficiency. we are talking about renewable energy and talking about a future that is actually looks pretty good. >> jon: but can't you make a more winning argument this is about efficiency and about creating energy in a better way because i think if you say to these companies we don't want to pollute with carbon they will say what about, what about china's economy? what about india's economy? what about these growing, you know, we got ours in the industrial revolution, what about these countries that are now building their middle classes and what about states like texas that don't listen? >> actually -- [laughter.] >> we are actually not talking about going backwards. we are talking about positioning the u.s. for the future, as well as those companies. they know they can invest in renewable energy and know they can make it work in an energy mix and so our job really is to try to drive those reductions nationally but to make sure every state is differently positioned. some have already done really aggressive energy efficient city work and we can do a whole lot more. >> jon: but how much is the might be, even with the boiler rules they had, they made a big deal about it would save 6,000 lives -- >> and by -- >> jon: i knew but i thought it was funny. and it is a thing i do, oh, look at me. save 6,600 lives they come up with a standard, what is it in february 2011 but they don't implement it until after the election, and posted an article this is political pressure, they say, i mean, how much of that is real? >> the timeline in the rule is set in statute. >> jon: i mean when it gets implemented. i know it is in the statute. >> that is what is in the statute is when it needs to be implement sod none of this is following politics. >> jon: i see. >> it is following, i hope and i think, what is best for america. and if we don't start dealing with climate change which is the biggest public health challenge that we face, as well as the biggest economic challenge we face, and think of it both from an environmental and an economic standpoint, then i think we will lose it for the next generation and our own, frankly.

where is? >> reporter: these speakers are calling for an uprising, telling these supporters of morsi to take to the streets across egypt, until morsi is back in power. there was a tense standoff at the military compound, where morsi supporters believe he is being held. then, soldiers fired. three were killed. >> has been tossed back into the political scene. the people are able to push it back where it belongs. >> reporter: the military is holding firm in this. sweeps of aircraft buzzing in the skies above. so are the opponents of morsi, who called for mass rallies tomorrow here in tahrir and elsewhere. little signs in that any of the sides are looking for compromise. bianna? >> so many people in the states wondering what this turmoil will have on gas prices or oil prices. alex, thanks to you. and staying overseas, all eyes are on edward snowden right now. the nsa leaker is on the run. and we're just hearing this morning he may now be able to leave moscow and find asylum in venezuela or nicaragua. but the he make it to either country without avoiding u.s. extradition? kirit radia is following the developments for us from moscow. >> reporter: good morning. edward snowden has been stuck here in moscow for nearly two weeks. but now, venezuela and other countries are preparing to throw him a lifeline. the question is, can he get there? on friday night, venezuelan's president offered him political asylum. that after the presidents of nicaragua and bolivia suggested they were ready to do the same thing. the problem for snowden is he doesn't have safe routes to travel. he has to go to the other side of the country and most of the countries are those with extradition treaties to the united states. there's a direct flight to cuba five times a week. the other option is on a private plane, the ones that could make it there without refueling cost over $200,000. so, not out of the question for a rich supporter who wants to help. and then, there's the question of air space. will the united states and other countries allow a plane carrying snowden to travel over their territory? as for when snowden can travel, less than an hour ago, a plane left for cuba and he wasn't onboard. he may be waiting for travel documents to arrive. until then, he and we will be here waiting. >> thanks very much. now, to the george zimmerman murder trial. on friday, the prosecution wrapped up its case. the defense asked for the charges to be dismissed. and the victims and the defendants' mothers presented emotional testimony. matt gutman has the latest from our miami bureau. >> reporter: good morning, dan. that's right. both sides trying to use a lot of emotion here. that's because the central question in this trial on facing the jury is, what were george zimmerman's intentions that might. the prosecution spent nine days trying to prove that zimmerman shot marted because he wanted to. expect the defense to try to prove he shot him because he had to. this morning, george zimmerman's case is finally in his attorneys' hands. and the first witness the defense called friday, his mother, gladys. at questions, the howls in this 911 call. >> do you think he's yelling help? >> yes. >> who was that? >> my son, george. >> reporter: moments later, rare emotion from zimmerman, who claimed self-defense as his uncle also defendanted him. it was another mother's testimony that captivated the court on friday. sabrina fulton, also asked about the 911 calls. >> who do you recognize that to be? >> trayvon benjamin martin. >> reporter: the grieving mother's testimony capping the prosecution's nine days of sometimes jarring testimony. >> these [ bleep ]. they always get away. >> reporter: during which some of its own eyewitnesses seemed to weaken its case, including the eyewitness who saw martin of top of zimmerman that night. >> he was the one who was raining blows down on george zimmerman, right? >> that's what it looked like. >> reporter: perhaps no witness testimony more bizarre than that of the medical examiner. >> i don't understand your question. nobody knows -- >> excuse me. >> reporter: and saying he changed his opinion on earlier statements he made. no sooner did the prosecution rest its case, the defense moved to throw it out. >> what is before the court is an enormous amount of information that my client acted in necessary self-defense. >> reporter: the prosecution ready with this quick rebuttal. >> there are two people involved here. one of them's dead and one of them's a liar. >> reporter: the jury is not expected to hear george zimmerman tell his side of the story. his attorney tells me, very unlikely he will put him on the stand. that means the defense could wrap its case by wednesday. the jury could begin deliberations by friday. >> some want to know if zimmerman will take the stand. thanks, matt to you. we're lucky to have you here, dan. you've been following this case. and you told me this morning you think the prosecution's case is in trouble. >> they presented all of their evidence. and i do not see how a jury, as a legal matter, convicts of either second-degree murder or manslaughter. now, that did not mean that george zimmerman was justified. it doesn't mean that george zimmerman was right. it means that when the prosecution has the burden to prove this case beyond a reasonable doubt, meaning they have the responsibility to disprove self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt. it is hard to imagine that of all the witnesses we've seen, that there is not reasonable doubt as to that up to this point. this is just the prosecution's case. and even amongst those prosecution witnesses, we have seen testimony which it's hard to imagine would not be perceived as reasonable doubt in the minds of the jury. but you can't predict juries. so, who knows? >> that's right. we're going to hear from the defense, as matt said. this could wrap by wednesday or thursday. >> yeah. guess who is back in the house with us, finally. you. >> oh, okay. thank you. thanks very much. >> great to see you. welcome back. >> thank you. thank you, bianna. dan, good morning to you. good morning, everyone. we're following breaking news right now. a train carrying 80 tankers of flammable liquid derailed and burst into flames in eastern canada, near the main border earlier, about 130 miles from that border. fire trucks have been deployed. and there's all hands for assistance. we'll follow this story and bring you more information as we get it. we're learning more about this morning that the company that staged the fourth of july fireworks show in southern california, that injured dozens of people a couple days ago. 30 people were hurt when a shell went off prematurely, knocking over other rounds of the fireworks. the company has had other accidents. we're now learning in 2008, an explosion at a show in new york injured five people. and that same summer, a bay fireworks floating barge caught fire. the company is cooperating with the investigation in southern california. and chrysler is recalling more than 250,000 minivans. the dodge caravan, chrysler town and country, and ram cargo van. chrysler says a software problem is causing side air bags to deploy on the wrong side when there's a crash. the carmaker says the problem can be solved with a quick software fix. and an amazing tale of survival. a dog that got trapped under the hood of a car. and the car driving through three cities in florida. with the pooch wedged between the steering mechanism and the front axle. the dog was found inside. and the rescue crews had to dismantle part of the engine to get him out. the driver felt something a little rough. >> how did he get in there? >> we're going to investigate that. we'll put brian ross on that. brian, all yours. >> the version from dan later, as well. >> he crawled up under. >> we're all happy he survived. >> going to get you an answer, dan. >> thank you, ron. >> great to have you back, ron. we're going to turn to new details on a story we've been following closely this week. the terrifying ordeal of a mother and her 6-year-old daughter held against their will in brazil. the little girl went to see her father. but that trip has turned into one, long nightmare. gio benitez has the story. >> reporter: she is the little 6-year-old girl at the center of the legal battle. ava and her mother shauna haddon, stuck in brazil. the mom who has full custody, said her ex-husband paid for their tickets to visit him in brazil. but she says, it was all a trick. within days of their arrival, he took haddon to court. brazil than authorities confiscating their passports. hadden says ex is trying to keep them in brazil. now, hadden, is turning to facebook for help. her page, trapped in brazil, has thousands of supporters. her family and members of congress are fighting to get her and little ava back to the u.s. >> i have no documents here. my thoughts are desperation and fear on a daily basis. >> reporter: now, a man with a similar story is speaking out in support of hadden. david goldman was taken to brazil by his mother. spent five years to get his son back. in 2009, he did. >> our country, our embassy, our state department should do whatever they can to issue this mom and this daughter passports and get them on the next plane home. >> reporter: today, goldman is critical of how brazil handles these situations. >> they seem to want to do their own things, almost sort of a rogue way of custody. ignoring international laws. ignoring previous set, ordered custody rulings. >> reporter: he believes there's only one way for parents to protect children in cases like this. >> the only advice to give a parent in this situation is don't go. >> reporter: and the state department tells abc news, u.s. officials are monitoring the case. and what about that father? well, we've not been able to reach him or his attorney, dan. >> these international custody cases are really troubling. now, to a dramatic rescue captured on camera. a bride-to-be posing for an engagement photos with her fiance, springs into action when she saw a little boy drowning in a nearby creek. diving into the water to save the child. now, she's telling her amazing story. and abc's rob nelson is here with the details. >> i thought that we were just going to come here, take a couple pictures. and go home. >> reporter: like any excited future bride, becky has already saved the date. but as these dramatic engagement photos show, she also saved a life. how far out into the creek was he?

>> reporter: good morning, dan. it's the worst violence we've seen yet between supporters and opponents of ousted president mohamed morsi. it happened just a short distance from where we are here in tahrir square. and many fear it's a sign of much more bloodshed to come in this deeply divided egypt. egyptian fighting egyptian. a bridge in downtown cairo became the front in this deadly battle on friday night. opponents and supporters of egypt's ousted president, firing guns and fireworks, throwing rocks and molotov cocktails. after several hours of violence, the army finally stepped in and dispersed the crowds. violence raged beyond the capital, as well. here, the army opened fire on supporters of deposed president mohamed morsi, as they prayed. across egypt, at least 30 people were killed and 200 wounded. the target of this fury, egypt's military, which on wednesday, removed the country's first democratically-elected president to place him under arrest. protests supporting morsi drew tens of thousands of islamist supporters into the streets after friday prayers. >> where's my vote? i do vote in the box. and where? where is? >> reporter: these speakers are calling for an uprising, telling these supporters of morsi to take to the streets and squares across egypt, until morsi is back in power. there was a tense standoff at the military compound, where morsi supporters believe he is being held. then, soldiers fired. three were killed. >> the military has no spot in politics. has been tossed back into the political scene. the people are able to push it back where it belongs. >> reporter: the military is holding firm in the streets. aircraft buzzing in the skies above. so are the opponents of morsi, who called for mass rallies tomorrow here in tahrir and elsewhere. little signs that any of the sides are looking for compromise. bianna?

abc's kirit radia is following the developments for us from moscow. >> reporter: good morning. edward snowden has been stuck here in moscow's airport for nearly two weeks. but now, venezuela and other countries are preparing to throw him a lifeline. the question is, can he get there? on friday night, venezuela's president offered him political asylum. that after the presidents of nicaragua and bolivia suggested they were willing to do the same thing. the problem for snowden is he doesn't have safe routes to travel. he has to go almost to the other side of the globe. and most of his transit options are in countries that have extradition treaties with the united states. his best option may be to connect via cuba. there's a direct flight from here five times a week. the other option is on a private plane. the ones that could make it there without refueling cost over $200,000. so, not out of the question for a rich supporter who wants to help. and then, there's the question of air space. will the united states and other countries allow a plane carrying snowden to travel over their territory? as for when snowden can travel, less than an hour ago, a plane left for cuba and he wasn't onboard. he may be waiting for travel documents to arrive. until then, he and we will be here waiting. dan and bianna?

>> that's what it looked like. >> reporter: perhaps no witness testimony more bizarre than that of the medical examiner. >> i don't understand your question. nobody knows -- >> excuse me. >> reporter: and saying he changed his opinion on earlier statements he made. no sooner did the prosecution rest its case, the defense moved to throw it out. >> what is before the court is an enormous amount of information that my client acted in necessary self-defense. >> reporter: the prosecution ready with this quick rebuttal. >> there are two people involved here. one of them's dead and one of them's a liar. >> reporter: now, the jury is not expected to hear george zimmerman tell his side of the story. his attorney tells me, very unlikely he will put him on the stand. that means the defense could wrap its case by wednesday. the jury could begin deliberations as early as friday. >> so many people want to know if zimmerman will take the stand. thanks, matt to you. we're lucky to have you here, dan. you've been following this case since the beginning. and you told me this morning you think the prosecution's case is in trouble. >> the prosecution's case is now in. they presented all of their evidence. and i do not see how a jury, as a legal matter, convicts of either second-degree murder or manslaughter. now, that did not mean that george zimmerman was justified. it doesn't mean that george zimmerman was right. it means that when the prosecution has the burden to prove this case beyond a reasonable doubt, meaning they have the responsibility to disprove self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt. it is hard to imagine that of all the witnesses we've seen, that there is not reasonable doubt as to that up to this point. this is just the prosecution's case. and even amongst those prosecution witnesses, we have seen testimony which it's hard to imagine would not be perceived as reasonable doubt in the minds of the jury. but you can't predict juries. so, who knows? >> that's right. we're going to hear from the defense, as matt said next week. this could wrap by wednesday or thursday. >> yeah. guess who is back in the house with us, finally. >> who? >> you. >> oh, okay. thank you. thanks very much. >> great to see you. welcome back. >> thank you. thank you, bianna. dan, good morning to you. good morning, everyone. we're following breaking news right now. a train carrying 80 tankers of flammable liquid has derailed and is burning right now in the small town of lac-megantic in the province of quebec, and 130 miles from the border with maine. we just got off the phone with a witness who described this frightening scene. >> explosions. the sky was red, yellow. it was, like -- it was crazy. there was like the end of the world. >> and that entire small town is being evacuated. and there's been an all-hands call for help. we're learning more this morning about the company that staged the fourth of july fireworks show in southern california, that injured dozens of people just a couple days ago. more than 30 people were hurt when a shell went off prematurely, knocking over other rounds of the fireworks. the company bay fireworks of new york has had other accidents. in 2008, an explosion at a show in new york injured five people. and that same summer, a bay fireworks floating barge caught fire. the company says it is cooperating with the investigation in southern california. and chrysler is recalling more than 250,000 minivans. the models are the 2013 the dodge caravan, chrysler town and country, and ram cargo van. chrysler says a software problem is causing side air bags to deploy on the wrong side when there's a crash. the carmaker says the problem can be solved with a quick software fix. and an amazing tale of survival. a dog that got trapped under the hood of a car while the car was driving through three cities in florida. with the pooch wedged between the steering wheel mechanism and the front axle. eventually the dog was discovered wedged inside beneath the hood of that car. and the rescue crews had to dismantle part of the engine to get him out. the dog was taken to the vet and now is reported to be doing fine. bianna, back to you. we're going to turn to new details on a story we've been following closely this week. the terrifying ordeal of a mother and her 6-year-old daughter held against their will in brazil. the little girl went there to see her father. but now, that trip has turned into one, long nightmare. abc's gio benitez has the story. >> reporter: she is the little 6-year-old girl at the center of the international legal battle. ava and her mother, shauna hadden, spending the last month stuck in brazil. the mom who has full custody of ava in massachusetts, said her ex-husband paid for their tickets to visit him in brazil. but she says, it was all a trick. within days of their arrival, he took hadden to court. brazilian authorities confiscating their passports. hadden says ex is trying to keep ava in brazil. when are you supposed to get your passports back?

well, we've not been able to reach him or his attorney, dan. >> these international custody cases are really troubling. now, to a dramatic rescue captured on camera. a bride-to-be posing for engagement photos with her fiance, springs into action when she spots a little boy drowning in a nearby creek. diving into the water to save the child. now, she's telling her amazing story. and abc's rob nelson is here with the details. >> i thought that we were just going to come here, take a couple pictures. and be able to just go home. >> reporter: like any excited future bride, becki salmon has already saved the date. but as these dramatic engagement photos show, she also saved a life. how far out into the creek was he? >> this is a little -- it's difficult to judge. about ten feet off of this rock. >> reporter: last saturday, a photographer was snapping engagement photos of the happy couple at this tranquil philadelphia park, when romance suddenly turned to rescue. a friend of the couple's noticed a 5-year-old boy struggling in the murky creek behind them, images the photographer captured. >> we turned to look. and i saw a little head bobbing under the water. looked like he was trying to get to the surface. and i took off. >> reporter: becki who happens to be a paramedic and trained lifeguard, sprang into action. jumping into the water fully clothed. her heroics also caught on camera. >> i had never seen the kid. and i'm never going to again. i would be in the water, pulling him toward me. >> reporter: her fiance, matt, an emt worker, said he was not surprised by becki's quick thinking. >> if you knew becki, i don't think you would be surprised. the kind of things in her life. >> reporter: becki says she wasn't a hero, and it wasn't until the photographer posted the pictures on facebook, did the story begin to make headlines. >> i didn't know i was a hero. no. that's what i'm trained to do. >> reporter: the mexico wedding is still a year and a half away. and their home is filled with pictures of far less dramatic days. but this snapshot will always stick out. not just for the bad story. but of the bravery of the bride-to-be. have you rescheduled the photo? >> no. we called it a day there. >> reporter: that wedding is set for the end of next year in mexico. and believe it or not, it will be a waterfront ceremony. becki says she is fully prepared to come to the rescue again, even in her wedding dress. but, guys, let's hope that everybody can stay on dry land for that day. >> the child's mother was there, right?

i got to do it. i'm happy. >> i don't like cheaters. it's just a tough call. i do kind of like him. >> so, a-rod went 0 for 4, striking out the three times. but the yankees sans a-rod, that means without, dan. they won that game. it ended well for yankee fans, like me. >> we know when ron has a late night. starts using french. >> that's one of the symptoms. >> standup journalist. forcing yourself to go to the game. >> forced myself to drink a beer. nonalcoholic beer. >> right. ron o'doul's claiborne. a busy morning for ginger zee. good morning, ginger. >> looking at the video from the colorado stuff. it's not often you see fire watches next to flood watches. but today, we will, in oregon and the state of washington. why?
