good morning to you. thank you for being with us. 6:00 a.m. in new york this morning. tuesday, july 19th. i was hearing that in parts of iowa the heat index felt like 130 yesterday. it s been brutal out there. even this morning on the east coast, it felt different. it felt hotter. we ll be covering that. we re watching that and millions are watching with a worldwide media empire hanging in the balance rupert murdoch is just hours away from facing his defining moment. in less than four hours, murdoch, his son and former top newspaper executive will appear before the british parliament. they will be asked what they knew about this phone hacking scandal that s growing wider by the day. it s threatening to take down news corp and perhaps murdoch himself. and the question is what they are going to be called upon to explain, what they re going to be compelled to explain and how that s different from being called before congress. who is going to be asking the questions today

that people usually recover pretty quickly from. as you know, doctors even saying he could be back in the office by next week. he had his first operation back in 2004, betty, and that was a bypass operation, it was a big operation, and really a wake-up call for him. he changed his life in many ways and i ve been following his health along for all these years. in fact i interviewed him specifically about this several months ago. take a look at what he had to say. i have to ask you, how are you feeling? i was there outside the hospital when you had your heart surgery. are you back 100%? i think so. it s interesting. in some ways i m stronger than i was before my surgery and by conventional measures i m healthier. i ve still got about ten pounds to lose that i gained in the campaign last year working for hillary. otherwise i think i m fine. the one thing i noticed was, and my balance is better when i m doing balance drills, but the one thing i noticed that what a friend of mine referr
