You said theres plenty of food and water there. I understand there has been issues involving people online getting food and people in the back of the line are getting upset people are taking a lot of food, is that true .

Can you image if all 30 of us were in line at the same time and everybody in big groups like that were in line. Some people didnt understand you were taking food for more than one person not just for yourself. Very bad the conditions in the rooms are just horrible no bathroom so you can image the smell. The crew has been unbelievable. Coming down the hallways and picking up peoples belongings in the hallway. You walk down the hall there are red bags going down the hallway its miserable.

Republican senators successfully taking a stand against defense secretary nominee chuck hagel. They blocked a vote on his nomination amid growing concerns about his views on issues and also they want to get more information about benghazi. Peter doocy is live in washington with more on this story. Peter whats next on this now. Today is supposed to be secretary of defense leon panettas last day at the pentagon. He has to stick around for at least another week. Republicans had a rule that requires the nominee for defense secretary to get 60 votes in the senate for confirmation. Mr. Hagel got only 58. Republicans said they wanted to spend more time to dig into his back ground and now they got it. I hope one democrat will look at chuck hagels record and some of the outrageous statements they made about israel and reconsider have one democrat vote no. If he could find one democrat to vote no the flood gates would open. He wanted to install the confirmation until the white house reveals more information about the benghazi terror attack. President obama never called any officials in libya until the smoke had cleared and four americans were dead. Now he has a chance to get even more information. Another republican senator ted cruise in texas sl raising red blaggs about a possible conflict of interest with chuck hagel just because he wont release some financial discloesh ours. They were wondering why hagel didnt disclose certain speeches he made as they were coming to light. President obama thinks all of the opposition is responsible. Its unfortunate that this kind of politics intrudes at a time when i am still presiding over a war in afghanistan and i need a secretary of defense who is coordinating with pour allies to make sure our troops are getting the kind of strategy and mission that they deserve. Earlier this week had he pushed a vote on the president s nominee to run the cia john brennan because they want more information about the administrations drone policy. Specifically those rules about drone targeting american citizens. Heather . Peeter doocy. Thanks so much. Now congress is off to recess. Thank you. It is 18 minutes after the hour.

Nearly 3,000 passengers finally reach land about 3 hours ago when they disembark the cruise ship after nearly 5 miserable days drifting at sea when it reached the permnal in mobile, alabama. They cheered as they greeted loved ones or boarded buses. They had harrowing scary situations when they got off the boat. People screamed the ship is on fire. The ship is on fire. It sunk in this is a very serious situation. I dont care what carnival line it was or company it was when your engine is on fire theres nothing you can do. They handled it with the utmost respect for us and care for us. It took nearly 4 hours to get all of the passengers off the ship. Some say the family members in mobile but the majority of them boarded buses in houston, galveston or new other lean where is they will make their final journey home. A lot of people we spoke to said what they are looking for the most is a hot shower and a bed. One man is looking forward to pizza and wine. I am so sure. Safe and sound back on dry land. Mary Quinn Oconnor thank you so much. This morning we are hearing more details about the nightmare from those on board the ship. Passengers are speaking out about the conditions on the ship the crew and what it feels like to finally be home. They made a lot of mistakes because they didnt have the tug boats come out immediately. We felt like it was too big of a delay but we also i felt like they tried hard. The crew was amazing. The crew was amazing. The crew took good care of you. Very good. Yes. They had to clean up red bags in the hallway that was not very niece. I have a few more concerns about carnival. I am a little upset that they did not get us off the boat sooner and i thought maybe that could have been expedited a bit better. It was very frightening. I hope there has been rumors there may have been problems with the engine before on this ship. I certainly hope that it is not the case. That carnival would not have put that many people in danger. The crew has been absolutely spectacular. Really wonderful. The housekeepers, the stewards, the cooks, the busboys have all had a smaile on their face. The crew has done a great job. Its an unfortunate situation. We all dive into. I think everybody pretty well made the best of it. How about the sanitary conditions that seems to be dr. Siegels number one concern. It was fast. 48hours after the power went out it was only a matter of hours before they started asking us to use a bio hazard bag for them to urinate in the shower and use the bio hazard for anything else.

Delaying the democrats plan to push through two of president obamas nominations to the administration. Republicans vow they will not back down until americans have the answers they deserve. Doug luzader is live with more on this this morning. Good morning to you, doug. Answerly, good morning. To nominees john brennan tinl against agency and chuck hagel. They are running into real snags on capitol hill. In the case of hagel whats happening right now it is a delay for a nominee. Republicans cant the white house to come clean about what happened if the u. S. Consulate attacked back in september with evidence mounting they say if the president would simply disengage. During an online chat president obama dismissed the entire issue. That was largely driven by campaign stuff because everything about that we have had more testimony and more paper provided to congress than ever before. Theres no question this white house has stone walled delayed and denied. Nothing could be pfurther from the truth about us not running out of questions. It what is true he wont answer any. It is not just about chuck hagel. Benghazi attack is one of the problems the president wants to head the cia john brennan who served as chief counterterrorism advisor to the white house. They have specific acknowledge to the Response Time line. When it comes to hagel democrats and republicans cant agree on whats happening right now even amount to go a filibuster. Its shocking my republican colleagues were leave the nation without fully empowered secretary of defense during all of the things we have going on in the world including a war. I think after only twodays of a nomination being on the floor that a republican senator has questions to ask and information to see that they ought to be allowed to do that. Even though both of the nominations are being delayed the expectation here is both of them will probably get through. It is a question inch the republicans can get from the white house.

The cruise line is seeing share joining us now from the Fox Business Network is adam shapiro. By how much . Just this week they have fallen by about 3. 7. Almost 4 percent.

Do your gadgets confuse you and if you are looking for tech advice just so you know you are not alone. The buck stops here. Tech guru and anchor Clayton Morris is here to answer all of the questions. Nice to see you. Nice to see you. These are great questions. The first says why do you need virus on your computer not on your ipad. I hate anti virus programs. Whenever my parents get these i go home and remove them. They are bloated they slow down your computer. It prevents from you getting a virus. You think it does. Often the program help you remove a vie with us once you have it. If you need to get one get norton anti virus that is probably the best one out there. To keep you from ever getting a virus dont open emails from people you dont know and never ever click on lange from someone you dont know. What it will do is open software on your computer it can download something that way you dont need to spend money on an anti virus program. Sometimes you get a virus from people you do know. The second part of the question dont use it on an ipad using a mobile device. You cant get it because apple has a closed ecosystem for their software. It wont let you Download Software that is not apple approved. If you click on a link in an email on an ipad you are likely not going to have any problems on one of your tablet devices. The second question is i need help buying a tablet looking at the samsung gal lax kindle fire 60 years old want to get online facebook and tick painiictures. To take pick ours samsung 7. Best camera on the tablet is the ipad. I would recommend for this person to pick up the galaxy nexus 7, 7 inch tablet very affordable very easy and convenient and simple to get on the internet, watch netflix get on email. They mentioned a google nexus. There are all of these funky names for them. Google nexus 7. You can download it hfind how t buy it there. Third question all of my reports and spread sheets are on a lap top pc and Microsoft Office base. I was wondering if you knew an app based on Microsoft Office and could be used on the ipad 2. It made quite a few waives. It is called online desk top. Download the app its free to download but you pay a monthly fee of 5 it gives you access to Microsoft Office gives you a virtual portal so your ipad or tablet begins to look like a pc. So you can have access to all of your Microsoft Office documents. By the way Microsoft Office is coming to the ipad shortly. They will have their own proprietary app. Great advice. Always good to see you. Jump out of a plane next, too. The town and the most famous boardwalk destroyed by hurricane sandy. This morning theres a big update for you.
