00:00:00Look, we've all dealt with the itching of athlete's foot.
00:00:03I can't just wash it away.
00:00:05Killing it takes clinical strength.
00:00:06I only use lotrimin ultra.
00:00:08It's powerful formula can even cure severe cases of athlete's f the gold depository at fort knox, kentucky.
00:01:40It's a modest building with a myriad of secrets and billions of dollars in gold hidden inside.
00:01:51Very few people have set foot inside the gold vault since it opened in 1937.
00:01:57Doug simmons is one of the lucky few.
00:02:01>> It's amazing to think that you were standing there looking at each bar and each one of those bars was worth $200,000, and there's 30,000 of 'em sitting in front of you.
00:02:14>> In the summer of 1975, simmons received a mysterious phone call, one that would lead to the experience of a lifetime.
00:02:23>> I was 18 years old, and I got a phone call one afternoon from a fellow asking me if I wanted a job.
00:02:30But the problem was, he wouldn't tell me what the job was.
00:02:32>> At first, he turned it down.
00:02:35Then he ran into a friend who received a similar call.
00:02:39>> It turned out he was in the know.
00:02:41His father was somehow involved in this, and it turned out the job was at the gold vault.
00:02:48I ran back to my house and i immediately called this guy up, you know, basically pled with him to go ahead and give me the job without revealing I just found out what the job was.
00:02:58And so, the next day we all showed up at fort knox, and that's when they told us what was going to be requiredf us.
00:03:05>> The job was a government all the gold in the depository at fort knox was to be counted, down to the last one-thousandth of an ounce.
00:03:18When the audit was complete, the treasury department had determined there was more than a 147 million ounces of gold.
00:03:27>> And the united states enjoys year after year, a favorable balance of gold.
00:03:33>> But the fort knox vault has held much more in the past.
00:03:37And the story of how the gold >> the history of the gold vault actually starts about 1934.
00:03:46President roosevelt signed what was called the gold act.
00:03:49The united states was trying to rebound from the great depression, and roosevelt felt that in order to control the economic growth of the country, they had to control the gold.
00:04:03>> Confidence and courage are the essentials of success in carrying out our plan.
00:04:10>> During this era, american currency is tied to the gold standard.
00:04:16Every dollar in circulation is backed by a dollar's worth of government gold.
00:04:21But the depression causes the money supply to drop.
00:04:25There is not enough cash to go around.
00:04:29The gold act addresses the problem by suddenly making it illegal for americans to own gold.
00:04:36>> In a radical effort to combat deflation, the real problem during the great depression in THE 1930s, ROOSEVELT WANTED People to turn in their gold for dollars.
00:04:47He wanted to inflate the currency, and he could not inflate the currency if th currency was supported and backed by gold.
00:04:56>> Tons of gold coins and bullion flow into government hands, enabling officials to pump billions of dollars into the economy, but this presents a new problem how will they guard this growing inventory of gold?
00:05:11[Siren wails] [gunshots] BY THE LATE 1930s, ORGANIZED Crime is sweeping the nation.
00:05:20Notoris outlaws like john dillinger and bonnie and clyde are robbing banks at will.
00:05:29But that's not all.
00:05:31There are also external threats from nazi germany and other regimes.
00:05:40>> Our gold was deposited at that time in banks in philadelphia, banks in new york.
00:05:44These cities were exposed to foreign threat.
00:05:47I mean, certainly there could have been raiding parties sent to these waterfront, uh, cities.
00:05:54>> America's gold has to be protected from such dangers.
00:05:59>> So in 1935, congress authorized the construction of the gold vault.
00:06:04The reason they selected fort knox for it is because it's about 1,000 miles inland, it's west of the appalachian mountains, which is a reasonable barrier in those days, and right next door is fort knox, which had a major mechanized cavalry unit.
00:06:27>> When construction is complete in 1936, the building is put under the control of the u.s.
00:06:33Mint.
00:06:36The mint melts down most of its collected gold into standard BARS MEASURING 7 x 3 AND 5/8 x 1 And 3/4 inches.
00:06:475 pounds, uncommonly heavy for its small size.
00:06:54But now, the question is, how do they move 368,000 gold bars from new york and philadelphia to the new bullion depository at fort knox, kentucky?
00:07:06>> The first great bouillon shipments taken to fort knox were taken by rail, and it meant coordination of a number of railroads, moving this hundreds of miles, and all this was kept top secret.
00:07:21>> The $6 billion in gold is actually shipped by the u.s.
00:07:25Mail and guarded by officers from the treasury department.
00:07:30Armored cars from the cavalry at fort knox are covering the transfer from the rail line to the vault.
00:07:38The first trainload carries an estimated $100 million worth of gold from philadelphia.
00:07:45It arrives in early january 1937.
00:07:50The gold enters the depository under heavy guard.
00:07:54This rare footage shows the delivery of the gold through the on't know that there is a back door to the gold vault with loading docks.
00:08:07And that's where they would back the trucks up in 1937 to load the gold into the gold vault itself.
00:08:16When it came to loading the to do the labor for about 6 months.
00:08:23You can see this gentleman here in his farmer jeans unloading the gold from the truck and taking it into the bullion depository.
00:08:32>> In late january 1937, the second trainload from the east is loaded and ready to go.
00:08:40That's when disaster strikes.
00:08:42>> America's greatest peace-time disaster.
00:08:45>> Heavy rains cause massive flooding along the ohio river.
00:08:49750,000 Are left homeless.
00:08:52>> In the early spring, tragic scenes are enacted in tennessee, kentucky, and missouri.
00:08:58>> Railroad tracks are swamped at west point, kentucky, just 6 miles north of the depository.
00:09:05Gold shipments to fort knox are suddenly halted.
00:09:09>> The second gold shipment was scheduled, but it wasn't able to be completed until almost february.
00:09:16They had gold shipments scheduled to come in twice a week every week thereafter until july.
00:09:22>> It takes 4 railroad companies, running 40 trainloads with 552 railcars to complete the job in july 1937.
00:09:33When it's all unloaded, the bullion depository is said to contain $6 billion in gold.
00:09:40The precious cargo amounts to nearly 5,000 tons.
00:09:46But these local farmers who unload it won't be the last to handle it.
00:09:524 Decades later, several others will also get a chance as part of a special government audit.
00:10:01In 1975, doug simmons is among 10 men hired to move the estimated 368,000 gold bars.
00:10:11>> The thing about gold that people don't realize is that it's just dirty, it's heavy, it's dangerous, and you're moving them by the thousands.
00:10:21You drop a gold bar on your hand, you know, you've just broken every bone in your hand.
00:10:27This stuff is dangerous.
00:10:33>> On the job, they come across some unexpected traces of history.
00:10:39While emptying each room, they discover something the workers who unloaded the gold in 1937 left behind.
00:10:48>> Inside the compartments, i think it kind of stunned everybody was, yeah, the walls every worker that's probably ever been in there has taken chalk and written his name on the walls inside of there.
00:10:59I know my name's in there probably hundreds of places.
00:11:01>> Inscriptions dating back to THE 1930s LINE THE WALLS.
00:11:06Simmons decides to write his own he signs in as goldfinger, the 1964 james bond movie about a criminal plot aimed at fort knox.
00:11:18Many believe the movie is filmed within the building itself--a popular misconception.
00:11:24>> You'd see this kind of--all the james bond references on the wall.
00:11:28I remember a big one that said, odd job electrocuted here january 11, 1962, or something, you know.
00:11:35>> Yet every move these workers make is under the constant watch of guards.
00:11:40Simmons and the others experience firsthand the iron grip of the depository's security.
00:11:48>> I was aware I was being watched every minute I was in that building.
00:11:52I never felt like I wasn't being watched.
00:11:55There was always a guard within a certain amount of feet from you and there was no question in my mind that we had camera surveillance on us.
00:12:01You knew beyond question, don't try anything inside here.
00:12:06I mean, you wouldn't even want to think about going there.
00:12:09>> But even the men who work inside every day find the treasure of fort knox fascinating.
00:12:17>> I've wondered many times how much money I've put my hands on in all the years I've been there.
00:12:24I suspect I probably put my hands on more money than just about any living human being.
00:12:31A gold bar weighs 40 pounds.
00:12:33Compartment, 30,000 bars.
00:12:37Do the math.
00:12:395 billion in each room.
00:12:44 if only i could've kept it. you know?
00:12:52>> Simmons works at the depository on and off until 1988.
00:12:57>> Nice working with you.
00:12:59>> When his employment ends as mysteriously as it began.
00:13:03>> My boss called me up and said, "you don't need to come in it's just that the rules have changed, and we feel that you've spent enough time now inside the depository, and it's " the job ended basically because they said I had seen too much.
00:13:22>> Doug simmons is fortunate to be among the small group of people who can say they've actually seen the gold.
00:13:34Government allowed the public to view what's inside.
00:13:38Coming up, depository officials are pressured to let cameras into fort knox.
00:13:44We'll watch the only film ever taken inside the gold vault.

00:17:39Travelers.Take the scary out of life.
00:17:46One look at the mysterious gold vault at fort knox is enough to arouse anyone's curiosity.
00:17:56But the security team around the building tolerates very little from people who don't belong there.
00:18:03>> Most importantly is they don't play around.
00:18:08No one is allowed to visit the gold repository.
00:18:14>> Not even the neighbors who live in nearby radcliff, kentucky.
00:18:19>> Well, I think people around here are aware of it and are somewhat proudand they accept it as being a national treasure.
00:18:28Using that in both sense of the words.
00:18:32It's always been understood that the major part of america's gold is stored at fort knox.
00:18:40>> And fort knox makes imaginations run wild.
00:18:44The gold vault has become a familiar pop culture icon.
00:18:48It was the subject of the movie goldfinger.
00:18:52And it is said to be the setting for a sequel to the film national treasure.
00:18:59It was also the inspiration for rogue agent.
00:19:05The game features fort knox as its opening level.
00:19:09Here, the agent is on a quest for all things gold, and that means getting inside the bullion depository at fort knox.
00:19:18>> Look at that gold!
00:19:18Look at that!
00:19:19Oh there's so much gold here!
00:19:21>> The fantasy of popular fiction is easy to understand, considering how much gold is thought to be inside fort knox.
00:19:34After world war ii, many began to wonder about how much gold was actually in the vault.
00:19:40That's because the american government was trading out gold for u.s. dollars.
00:19:45>> The united states is forced to deliver almost half a billion dollars from its gold reserves to meet the demands of creditor nations.
00:19:53France is among the biggest of the countries demanding gold in exchange for dollars owed.
00:20:00>> With gold flowing out of the country, rumors began to circulate.
00:20:05Questions were raised.
00:20:07>> The problem was the question of whether or not there was any gold there.
00:20:10And some rumors were that we had owed france a lot of gold, and that they had taken their gold out and there wasn't any left.
00:20:21>> For years, depository officials were pressured to open the vault for civilian inspection.
00:20:27But fort knox refused to allow the public inside.
00:20:32Finall a dozen congressmen and 100 journalists were invited inside for the one and only time in its history.
00:20:42Among them was walter huddleston, a freshman senator from kentucky.
00:20:48>> As one who has lived within just a few miles of this installation for many years but who has never been inside the front gate, I can say that it is with a great deal of interest that those of us from the congress have this opportunity to view the deposit here and to learn just what is inside the gold vault here at fort knox.
00:21:11>> It was the opportunity of a illinois congressman philip crane, who helped initiate the audit, was also there.
00:21:20>> Congressman crane, you suggested all this, why?
00:21:22>> Well, I did because there were rampant rumors and members of congress were receiving a great deal of ma charge that significant portions of our gold reserves at fort so I suggested to secretary of the treasury simon that I thought this would be a good way, i think, to dispel tse rumors.
00:21:39>> Soon, the secret contents of the vault will be viewed by the public and recorded on film for the first time ever.
00:21:51>> You have to back up.
00:21:54>> Huddleston is on hand as the vault door is unlocked, and a wheel is turned 14 times to open the latch.
00:22:03>> You'll have to stand back gentlemen, please, so we can get the door.
00:22:06>> It's a big thing. 20 tons.
00:22:08>> Well, I think there was a considerable amount of i personally felt like we were going to find gold, I didn't think that we were going to find it empty, but i, you know, recognized that maybe that was a possibility.
00:22:22>> The visitors are led to a room.
00:22:25>> You can see what's in here.
00:22:27>> A blue sign shows exactly what's inside this one single compartment--36,236 gold bars, it's valued at almost $500 million at the time.
00:22:45A seal in place since 1968 is cut.
00:22:49 now we have to be very careful with this document.
00:22:54>> The next thing they see is astounding.
00:22:58 it's clear to the ceiling.
00:23:02>> Lo and behold, there it was.
00:23:04I remember being somewhat in awe of seeing all the gold stacked and i thought, here I am in the presence of a great and it was an interesting experience right from the beginning.
00:23:18>> These been weighing about 22.
00:23:20>> Each of the gold bricks is worth $65,000 at the market price of the time.
00:23:26>> You got it, john?
00:23:27Don't drop it.
00:23:28>> Bill evans was one of the journalists allowed inside.
00:23:31>> Nobody knew what to expect.
00:23:33And everybody was wide-eyed and I'm " and as we were taken down one of the corridors, we were allowed to see the gold, and we were allowed to pick it up, hold it, look at it, inspect it, and to my knowledge it was gold.
00:23:51>> Let me get the measurements.
00:23:53>> Gerald lush was editor ofthe news enterprisedaily newspaper. he too was there.
00:23:59>> I never had a doubt once i laid eyes on the gold that it i just thought, that's the real there's no way you could fake that.
00:24:11>> Amid the excitement, director of the mint ry brooks takes center stage as hostess of the she wears a money green dress, and a necklace adorned with gold coins.
00:24:24>> Miss--miss brooks, are you happy now that the gold is here?
00:24:26 I knew it was here all the time!
00:24:30>> I think she was having a I mean, how--how many times do you get to--to make a tour and lead a tour of fort knox, kentucky? first time ever.
00:24:41>> No photographer or reporter has been allowed into fort knox since.
00:24:48And the gold remains locked inside, protected by one of the most sophisticated security systems around.
00:24:57The system's details are tightly guarded, but by analyzing photographs, video, and eyewitness accounts, we can speculate about the type of security that's in place.
00:25:09Photos of the depository taken since its construction in 1936 reveal some of its secrets.
00:25:17Ground-level guard boxes at each corner are part of the original construction.
00:25:23More recent photographs show additional guard bes on the roof.
00:25:29>> They've got some kind of security array that they've put up there since the days I was I mean, visible from the you can see that they've got guard boxes up there on that but what they've put up there, they certainly don't want anybody to see, because if you attempt to take a picture of it from the air, you're going to jail.
00:25:45>> The most recent aerial photo of the depository is this from this vantage point, no critical details of the security system are discernible.
00:25:58There is a hint, however, of fence lines around the building that have not always been there.
00:26:06>> I remember when you would go into the depository and you'd go up the main road, there was only one fence around the gold vault, and it was an old black wrought now, especially after 9/11, there is an array of multiple fences including concrete barricades that you have to go through.
00:26:26>> The depository's original fence, built in 1937, defines an octagonal border around the building.
00:26:34A second fence, built later, encloses a larger, rectangular a fence along the driveway has been added as well.
00:26:44A third barrier extends the building's security perimeter out even farther.
00:26:50Less obvious as a security feature is the open nature of the terrain around the building.
00:26:56Until recently, the depository building has been surrounded by the journalists visiting the site in 1974 took now the trees are conspicuous in their absence.
00:27:11>> There were trees all around the gold vault in those days.
00:27:15You know, no one ever thought about how are you going to see the bad guys if they're coming up on the building or there was just so much that's changed.
00:27:21And it shows you how safe we once thought we were.
00:27:24>> The ever-changing world continually brings new threats to the safety of the gold that's why the security measures must be a step ahead of the times.
00:27:35>> The plain fact of the matter is that it's been in existence in its current form with electronic additions and sophistications and so on and so forth since 1937, and no one has ever gotten near it.
00:27:51>> Coming up next, we'll explore the secret security technology that the government does not want you to know about.

00:29:20and depression.
00:29:21Before I started taking abilify, I was takingan antidepressant alone.
00:29:25Most days I could put ona brave face and muddle through.
00:29:28But other days I still struggledwith my depression.
00:29:32I was managing, but it alwayshad a way of creeping up on me.
00:29:35I felt stuck. I justcouldn't shake my depression.
00:29:39So I talked to my doctor.
00:29:40He said adding abilifyto my antidepressant epression, and that some people had symptom improvement as early as 1 to 2 weeks.
00:29:47He also told me about a free trial offer from abilify!
00:29:51Now I feel more in control of my depression.

00:30:24Other risks include decreases in white blood cells, which can be serious, dizziness upon standing, seizures, trouble swallowing, and impaired judgment or motor skills.
00:30:35Depression used to define me, then my doctor added abilifyto my antidepressant.

00:31:54The gold in the united states bullion deposi at fort knox is protected by a web of security that extends beyond the obvious into the world of s not what we know, it's what we don't know that keeps this building safe.
00:32:17>> Since the depository opened, the treasury department has released little information about its security, so throughout the vault's history, all sorts of stories have circulated.
00:32:30One involves construction on the workers reportedly built a secret system that will automatically drown vault intruders.
00:32:41>> The original design for the gold vault called for it to be able to be flooded like of france.
00:32:48Whether it was constructed that way or not, the treasury department's not saying.
00:32:55>> The treasury department has never commented on rumors of ground-to-air missiles on the site or alleged mine fields the surrounding grounds or the existence of hidden machine guns set to pop up and shoot at anyone approaching.
00:33:12Workers at the gold vault have also been known to spin their own tales.
00:33:17>> We used to go down after work, talk to tourists out on they'd look over and point to something out there in the grass, you know, "what is " you know, we'd look at 'em and just pop-up machine gun.
00:33:27 you know, what's gonna happen if I walk " >> while rumors still circulate, here's what we do know about the in 1937, there was a simple electric alarm system in place.
00:33:45 as an original security contractor.
00:33:50Today, government officials will not reveal the type or extent of security technology at fort knox.
00:33:58But security experts hod idea of the kind of devices in place there.
00:34:04>> A place like fort knox is going to have things like seismic sensors, same thing they use on the southern border of the united states to see if people are walking by.
00:34:12>> David gerulski of vistascape security systems is an expert in his company helps protect some of the most high-profile facilities in the united states.
00:34:26>> So as you can see, we can very quickly build an outer alarm zone to have different responses to an attack or somebody who is coming into the area.
00:34:37>> Gerulski's company creates a computer simulation to show how the security system might work at fort knox.
00:34:48Video cameras and hidden sensors monitor movement and these multiple signals are combined into one giant analysis of the entire area.
00:35:02Advanced software puts it together in an incredible big picture.
00:35:07>> The software actually will then process the information and plot every moving object on an aerial photograph of a facility and show you where every object is moving in that facility and tell you what that object is.
00:35:21>> One computerized overview could relieve guards from the need to monitor dozens of this prevents a possible security breach.
00:35:32>> There's been studies that have shown that, uh, a human being can watch about 6 monitors at a time for only about 20 minutes, and then they become totally ineffective.
00:35:41>> Now guards can be more effective because they can look at one detailed screen that shows every movement in and around the grounds.
00:35:49Although fort knox is surrounded by 3 steel fences, gerulski believes an array of sensors can be networked to create invisible trip wires.
00:36:01>> It is quite possible that fort knox has this type of virtual fences and the ability to notice objects before they actually get to the physical barriers.
00:36:11>> Using a computer work station, security guards at fort knox could draw their virtual fences on the landscape, each a virtual fence along the nearby highway, for instance, would ignore passing cars, but would sound an alarm for loiterers.
00:36:30If you stopped here, you'd be tripping an alarm inside the building about 1,500 feet away.
00:36:37Each virtual fence or alarm zone would be different, sounding more urgent alarms as they get closer to the gold depository.
00:36:48The zone along the approach road would be at the highest setting.
00:36:52>> That way if any vehicle turns into the area and starts at a high rate of speed toward the facility, you want a special alarm to come out and notify you that an action needs to be taken.
00:37:04>> Whether or not virtual fences exist around the fort knox bullion depository is a highly classified secret, but more than likely, it does not end there, AND BIOMETRIC I.D.s COULD BE Part of the security chain.
00:37:20>> Chances are upon entering fort knox, you would most likely need to enter your code into a reader, place your fingerprint down, and simultaneously, while your fingerprint is being read, a camera would capture your facial image and both of those would identify you.
00:37:37>> The most modern fingerprinting technology is all a sensor picks up the print, displays it on a screen, and a computer would compare it to the employee database for identification.
00:37:50>> Please come a little closer to the camera.
00:37:53>> While someone's fingerprints can be damaged or altered, that's highly unlikely for the it is as good as a fingerprint for identification, and computers also make the process quick and easy.
00:38:07>> Thank you, you have been identified.
00:38:11>> One of the most amazing place at fort knox is the use of stereo cameras for a 3-dimensional computer identification of someone's face.
00:38:24>> It measures the different points of your eyes, the distance between your nose and this right here is the profile image where it's actually showing the 3-d, the depth perception measurement.
00:38:35>> By taking such facial measurements, the fort knox computer would be able to it would even call the bluff of someone cunning enough to try plastic surgery to fool it.
00:38:49>> The red is the, actually, the hard tissue area of the face, whereas the blue is the soft so as you can see on the tip of the nose, it's blue.
00:38:56Right around the nostril area, it's the hard red, so if someone were to get a plastic surgery on their nose, it would change just the soft tissue.
00:39:05>> Security measures at the bullion depository, such as biometrics and virtual fences, will always be on the cutting edge, all for the sole purpose of protecting america's national treasure.
00:39:21Coming up, the secret stash within the gold vault's chambers--royal jewels, narcotics, and even the constitution of the united states.

00:43:14The estimated $100 billion of gold in fort knox represents only a tiny fraction of america's total wealth, but it has a powerful symbolic value with ancient roots.
00:43:29>> For thousands of years, from classical antiquity to modern nations in europe and the united states, gold is always, uh, thought of as a source of a nation's strength, some kind of trust in.
00:43:48>> Gold has been used as currency, jewelry, and decoration for more than 5,000 its chemical symbol, au, comes from aurora, roman goddess of the dawn.
00:44:02It is a soft metal, easily worked and remarkably stable.
00:44:07Any piece of gold can last thousands of years virtually unchanged, making it ideal as currency.
00:44:17>> It's always a good idea to have some kind of gold reserve as a fallback position to lend some kind of credibility and confidence in a monetary system of a nation.
00:44:29>> Yet the story of the gold depository at fort knox involves much more than just american gold.
00:44:391939. War breaks out in europe.
00:44:42Allied nations such as britain and france, fearful of nazi looting, send their own gold reserves to fort knox for the vault's contents swell to an all-time high of nearly 650 million ounces.
00:45:01>> Fort knox symbolized the ultimate security and strength here in the heartland of the united states, well away from it could provide absolute security for valuable artifacts.
00:45:15>> Other types of treasures they are moved in secret and under the tightest years pass before the public even knows these artifacts were ever held at fort knox.
00:45:29>> Britain moved the crown jewels and a copy of the magna carta to the security of the vaults at fort knox.

00:45:50Librarian of congress archibald MacLEISH BECOMES WORRIED ABOUT Protecting america's most he asks if space is available at fort knox.
00:46:01>> The declaration of independence was moved to fort knox in 1941 and stored in the people did not realize when they walked through the library of congress what they were seeing were replicas on display.
00:46:20>> In time, the library of congress will send other irreplaceable artifacts--the constitution, a gutenberg bible, and lincoln's gettysburg address.
00:46:35These items are returned after the war, but another wartime artifact is secreted away in the vault for more than 30 years.
00:46:44>> One of the things we discovered while we were working there that no one else knew about it was that the gold vault was housing the crown of stephen, which were the hungarian crown jewels.
00:46:55>> The crown is given to american troops by a hungarian general at the end of world war ii for fear it will fall into the hands of the it comes to fort it remains here for more than 30 years, packed secretly in a mysterious crate.
00:47:19>> Anytime you'd look into a compartment and you'd see something besides, you know, bullion, you're always going to wonder, what--what's and most of the time you'd ask a question and you'd just " that's all you're gonna get to know.
00:47:34>> But within the secure walls of the depository, this is one secret that fails to remain under wraps.
00:47:42>> We didn't get to see the crown itself or the things we--we saw the boxes and i think through enough questioning, you know, it kind of leaked out that those were the hungarian crown jewels.
00:47:54>> The secrecy surrounding the hungarian crown extends to other objects in the vault as well, objects that have nothing to do they're items you'd never believe the government would store here.
00:48:08>> Today there are rumors floating around that certain nerve gases and other things needed for future wars may be stored there, but the treasury department's not saying.
00:48:23>> But the defense department has admitted to stockpiling not illegal drugs, but $23 million worth of opium and morphine to be used in case of a national emergency.
00:48:39Some of the most bizarre rumors include stories of bodies in the vault, such as those of jimmy hoffa and the roswl aliens.
00:48:48>> Because of security at the gold vault, the federal government can store just about anything they want to of the highest secretive nature.

00:53:44With an estimated $100 billion worth of gold stashed inside, the stakes are high.
00:53:51If anyone did attempt to raid the nation's treasure, they would have to take on an army to get to it.

00:54:04Smooth.
00:54:05>> More than 10,000 troops su gold vault at the army's massive fort knox military base in kentucky.
00:54:15>> There's just a bunch of soldiers, security-trained, combat-trained folks, who, if something should happen, something should threaten the bullion depository, the army would respond immediately.
00:54:27>> It's the ultimate assurance that the 368,000 gold bars in the vault will stay safe.
00:54:35>> I don't know how one could find a more secure spot for the gold bouillon depository army first, you have to penetrate the base itself.
00:54:50Then of course, somehow penetrate the bouillon but then how do you get back out again when you have thousands of soldiers and--and armored divisions surrounding it?
00:55:04 army's ultimate training center for armored warfare.
00:55:10Within a few miles of the gold depository are over 300 tanks and rapid attack vehicles, colossal machines designed to army on the offensive.
00:55:24Every soldier in the armor force is stationed at fort knox at least once during their service.
00:55:31>> If you're a tanker, if you're armored cavalry, you're going to go to fort knox, kentucky, because it is today the center, the heart, and the brain of all tank and mechanized operations in the united states army.
00:55:51>> It's no coincidence that the nation's gold is kept nearby.
00:55:56 treasury first decides to build a fail-safe depository to protect the gold reserves, they choose fort knox because the army already has a secure base here.
00:56:10This remote site in western kentucky, isolated from the threat of attack on the u.s.
00:56:15Coastlines, is ideal.
00:56:17The rugged terrain has been used as a training ground by the military since 1862, when union troops conducted the first combat exercises here during the civil war.
00:56:34Creates a permanent base here.
00:56:36They rename it camp knox in honor of general henry knox, an american artillery commander in the revolutionary war and the nation's first secretary of war.
00:56:48>> In 1917, when camp knox was established, the cavalry was they were horse soldiers.
00:56:54>> By the end of world war i, cavalry enters the age of modern mechanized warfare.
00:57:04The driving force behind the transition from horses to tank cavalry officer who will have a profound influence on camp knox.
00:57:15He will go on to become one of the most famous battlefield generals in u.s. history.
00:57:21>> Probably the most famous name associated with american armor, with american tank warfare ord also very, very closely associated with fort knox is the name george s. patton.
00:57:40>> General patton first made his mark in world war I leading the army's fledgling tank corps to victory in the first major tank battle in history at cambrai, france, in 1917.
00:57:54>> His fertile brain began to he said, "this is what we need," and he began the early experiments with mechanized infantry or mechanized warfare.
00:58:10>> George patton envisioned the tank as a simply steel horse, an iron horse, something that could dash through enemy lines, create a salient to penetrate deep into enemy territory and leave them reeling.
00:58:29>> In 1932, the army organizes armored and motorized cavalry units based at camp knox, which, for the first time, becomes fort knox.
00:58:44But the nazi blitzkrieg in 1939 dramatically changes military history, and the mission of fort knox.
00:58:53Thousands of german tanks roll general patton congress to fund his plans to create a powerful new mechanized army division to counter hitler's war machine.
00:59:08 fort knox becomes the headquarters for patton's brainchild--the new armored force of the united states.
00:59:18This rare footage from fort knox TAKEN IN THE 1940s SHOWS EARLY U.s. tank warfare exercises.
00:59:32Only 3 years later, patton's armored tactics are put into action.
00:59:39The fort knox mechanized division is rushed to the battlefront in north africa during world war ii.
00:59:46Patton's prized weapon, the new m4 sherman tank, is instrumental in stopping the nazi juggernaut.
00:59:56As the allied forces push across europe, the m4 sherman tank divisions are the spearhead in patton's relentless attacks on german defenses.
01:00:10The sherman is a 30-ton medium tank with a 75-millimeter gun and a top speed of 30 miles per hour.
01:00:19Although it didn't have the firepower or size of the german tanks, the m4 sherman proves it is the perfect weapon for patton's attack first, ask questions later battlefield mentality.
01:00:35>> General george patton, long before he became a general, understood the basic strengths and there are there's firepower, mobility, and shock that's the strength of the tank on the modern battlefield.
01:01:03>> Patton dies in 1945, but his tactics and the m4 sherman tank he envisioned prove themselves as a key factor in the allied victory in world war ii.
01:01:15In his honor, the next generation of tanks are named after him, the m47 patton.
01:01:24THIS FOOTAGE FROM THE 1950s Shows patton t fort knox during a cold war era exercise.
01:01:35Today, the m1 abrams tank, introduced in 1980, continues to army's mechanized divisions in conflicts abroad.
01:01:46The 300 strong fleet of tanks stationed at fort knox also fulfills its dual role as guardian of the gold reserves.
01:01:56Imagine trying to get away with the gold and getting chased down by a battalion of m1 abrams tanks.
01:02:03>> We want to be able to shoot we want a weapon where we can lock a site on, and that weapon will hold no matter what the vehicle chassis does.
01:02:12We want to be able to engage at we want to be we want a they went to work on it, and came up with the m1 abrams.
01:02:28>> The m1 is a monster compared it weighs nearly 70 tons, and its 1,500-horsepower aircraft turbine engine powers it up to fort knox SOLDIERS USE M1s THROUGHOUT THE Gulf war in 1991.
01:02:48THE M1s ARMOR IS ALMOST AS Impenetrable as the nearly 2-foot thick steel doors of the the tank's shell is made of 2 layers of steel with a layer of highly classified material sandwiched in between.
01:03:03With a firing range of over 2 miles, it serves as an intimidating deterrent to anyone contemplating an assault on the gold vault.
01:03:15As both a powerful attack weapon and a shield of armor, the m1 is the embodiment of general patton's legacy at fort knox.
01:03:27>> I think if general george patton came back today and put his hands on his 2 ivory-handled revolvers, and he looked around and he saw an m1 abrams tank, more importantly, if he saw that tank in action, I think he'd turn around and he'd look at us all and he'd say, "i told you so." and he'd be right.
01:03:50>> The armor school at fort knox, inspired by patton, carries on its key role of training armor soldiers and marines to lead the attack against threats abroad.

01:11:56The powerful m1 tanks follow close behind.
01:12:01In this exercise, the role of the m1 tanks is entirely different from the rapid attack world war ii tactics of general patton that were honed here at fort knox.
01:12:12>> Tanks in an urban environment are very difficult, but they bring a measure of fire power that we can bring upon the enemy, as well as an intimidation factor.
01:12:23Urban combat is the toughest thing that you can do in the and making sure that the tanks understand what the infantry's doing on the ground and that they can fight when they're dismounted is very important.

00:02:20Doug simmons is one of the lucky few.
00:02:23>> It's amazing to think that you were standing there looking at eacbar and each one of those bars was worth $200,000, and there's 30,000 of 'em sitting in front of you.
00:02:36>> In the summer of 1975, simmons received a mysterious phone call, one that would lead to the experience of a lifetime.
00:02:46>> I was 18 years old, and I got a phone call one afternoon from a fellow asking me if I wanted a job.
00:02:52But the problem was, he wouldn't tell me what the job was.

00:03:20And so, the next day we all showed up at fort knox, and that's when they told us what was going to be required of us.
00:03:27>> The job was a government all the gold in the depository at fort knox was to be counted, down to the last one-thousandth of an ounce.
00:03:40When the audit was complete, the treasury department had determined there was more than a 147 million ounces of gold.
00:03:50>> And the united states enjoys year after year, a favorable balance of gold.
00:03:55>> But the fort knox vault has held much more in the past.
00:03:59And the story of how the gold got there is a legend in itself.
00:04:04>> The history of the gold vault actually starts about 1934.
00:04:08President roosevelt signed what was called the gold act.
00:04:12The united states was trying to rebound from the great depression, and roosevelt felt that in order to control the, they had to control the gold.
00:04:25>> Confidence and courage are the essentials of success in carrying out our plan.
00:04:32>> During this era, american currency is tied to the gold standard.
00:04:38Every dollar in circulation is backed by a dollar's worth of government gold.
00:04:43But the depression causes the to go around.
00:04:51The gold act addresses the problem by suddenly making it illegal for americans to own gold.
00:04:58>> In a radical effort to combat deflation, the real problem during the great depression in THE 1930s, ROOSEVELT WANTED People to turn in their gold for dollars.
00:05:09He wanted to inflate the currency, and he could not inflate the currency if the currency was supported and backed by gold.
00:05:18>> Tons of gold coins and bullion flow into government hands, enabling officials to pump billions of dollars into the economy, but this presents a new problem how will they guard this growing ory of gold?
00:05:34[Siren wails] [gunshots] BY THE LATE 1930s, ORGANIZED Crime is sweeping the nation.
00:05:42Notorious outlaws like john dillinger and bonnie and clyde are robbing banks at will.
00:05:51But that's not all.
00:05:53There are also external threats from nazi germany and other regimes.
00:06:02>> Our gold was deposited at that time in banks in philadelphia, banks in new york.
00:06:06These cities were exposed to foreign threat.
00:06:09I mean, certainly there could have been raiding parties sent to these waterfront, uh, cities.
00:06:17>> America's gold has to be protected from such dangers.
00:06:21>> So in 1935, congress authorized the construction of the gold vault.
00:06:26The reason they selected fort knox for it is because it's about 1,000 miles inland, it's west of the appalachian mountains, which is a reasonable barrier in those days, and right next door is fort knox, which had a major mechanized cavalry unit.
00:06:49>> When construction is complete in 1936, the building is put under the control of the u.s.
00:06:56Mint.
00:06:58The mint melts down most of its collected gold into standard BARS MEASURING 7 x 3 AND 5/8 x 1 And 3/4 inches.
00:07:095 pounds, uncommonly heavy for its small size.
00:07:17But now, the question is, how do they move 368,000 gold bars from new york and philadelphia to the new bullion depository at fort knox, kentucky?
00:07:29>> The first great bouillon shipments taken to fort knox were taken by rail, and it meant coordination of a number of railroads, moving this hundreds of miles, and all this was kept top secret.
00:07:43>> The $6 billion in gold is actually shipped by the u.s.
00:07:47Mail and guarded by officers from the treasury department.
00:07:52Armored cars from the cavalry at fort knox are covering the transfer from the rail line to the vault.
00:08:00The first trainload carrie estimated $100 million worth of gold from philadelphia.
00:08:08It arrives in early january 1937.
00:08:12The gold enters the depository under heavy guard.
00:08:17This rare footage shows the delivery of the gold through the back door.
00:08:23>> Most people don't know that there is a back door to the gold vault with loading docks.
00:08:29And that's where they would back the trucks up in 1937 to load the gold into the gold vault itself.
00:08:38When it came to loading the gold into the gold vault, they hired local farm boys to do the labor for about 6 months.
00:08:46You can see this gentleman here in his farmer jeans unloading the gold from the truck and taking it into the bullion depository.
00:08:54>> In late january 1937, the second trainload from the east is loaded and ready to go.
00:09:02That's when disaster strikes.
00:09:04>> America's greatest peace-time disaster.
00:09:07>> Heavy rains cause massive flooding along the ohio river.
00:09:12y spring, tragic scenes are enacted in tennessee, kentucky, and missouri.
00:09:20>> Railroad tracks are swamped at west point, kentucky, just 6 miles north of the depository.
00:09:27Gold shipments to fort knox are suddenly halted.
00:09:31>> The second gold shipment was scheduled, but it wasn't able to be completed until almost february.
00:09:38They had gold shipments scheduled to come in twice a week every week thereafter until july.
00:09:44>> It takes 4 railroad companies, running 40 trainloads with 552 railcars to complete the job in july 1937.
00:09:55When it's all unloaded, the bullion depository is said to contain $6 billion in gold.
00:10:03The precious cargo amounts to nearly 5,000 tons.
00:10:09But these local farmers who unload it won't be the last to handle it.
00:10:144 Decades later, several others will also get a chance as part of a special government audit.
00:10:23In 1975, doug simmons is among 10 men hired to move the estimated 368,000 gold bars.
00:10:33>> The thing about gold that people don't realize is that it's just dirty, it's heavy, it's dangerous, and you're moving them by the thousands.
00:10:43You drop a gold bar on your hand, you know, you've just broken every bone in your hand.
00:10:50This stuff is dangerous.
00:10:55>> On the job, they come across some unexpected traces of history.
00:11:01While emptying each room, they discover something the workers who unloaded the gold in 1937 left behind.
00:11:10>> Inside the compartments, i think it kind of stunned everybody was, yeah, the walls every worker that's probably ever been in there has taken chalk and written his name on the walls inside of there.
00:11:21I know my name's in there probably hundreds of places.
00:11:24>> Inscriptions dating back to THE 1930s LINE THE WALLS.
00:11:28Simmons decides to write his own he signs in as goldfinger, the 1964 james bond movie about a criminal plot aimed at fort knox.
00:11:40Many believe the movie is filmed within the building itself--a popular misconception.
00:11:47>> You'd see this kind of--all the james bond references on the wall.
00:11:50I remember a big one that said, odd job electrocuted here january 11, 1962, or something, you know.
00:11:57>> Yet every move these workers make is under the constant watch of guards.
00:12:02Simmons and the others experience firsthand the iron grip of the depository's security.
00:12:10>> I was aware I was being watched every minute I was in that building.
00:12:14I never felt like I wasn't being watched.
00:12:17There was always a guard within a certain amount of feet from you and there was no question in my mind that we had camera surveillance on us.
00:12:24You knew beyond question, don't try anything inside here.
00:12:28I mean, you wouldn't even want to think about going there.
00:12:32>> But even the men who work inside every day find the treasure of fort knox fascinating.
00:12:39>> I've wondered many times how much money I've put my hands on in all the years I've been there.
00:12:46I suspect I probably put my hands on more money than just about any living human being.
00:12:53A gold bar weighs 40 pounds.
00:12:55Compartment, 30,000 bars.
00:12:59Do the math.
00:13:015 billion in each room.
00:13:07 if only i could've kept it. you know?
00:13:14>> Simmons works at the depository on and off until 1988.
00:13:19>> Nice working with you.
00:13:21>> When his employment ends as mysteriously as it began.
00:13:25>> My boss called me up and said, "you don't need to come in it's just that the rules have changed, and we feel that you've spent enough time now inside the depository, and it's " the job ended basically because they said I had seen too much.
00:13:44>> Doug simmons is fortunate to be among the small group of people who can say they've actually seen the gold.
00:13:53But once, and only once, has the government allowed the public to view what's inside.
00:14:00Coming up, depository officials are pressured to let cameras into fort knox.
00:14:06We'll watch the only film ever taken inside the gold vault.

00:18:01Travelers.Take the scary out of life.
00:18:08One look at the mysterious gold vault at fort knox is enough to arouse anyone's curiosity.
00:18:19But the security team around the building tolerates very little from people who don't belong there.
00:18:25>> Most importantly is they don't play around.
00:18:30No one is allowed to visit the gold repository.
00:18:36>> Not even the neighbors who live in nearby radcliff, kentucky.
00:18:41>> Well, I think people around here are aware of it and are somewhat proud, and they accept it as being a national treasure.
00:18:50Using that in both sense of the words.
00:18:54It's always been understood that the major part of america's gold is stored at fort knox.
00:19:02>> And fort knox makes imaginations run wild.
00:19:06The gold vault has become a familiar pop culture icon.
00:19:10It was the subject of the movie goldfinger.
00:19:14And it is said to be the setting for a sequel to the film national treasure.
00:19:21It was also the inspiration for rogue agent.
00:19:27The game features fort knox as its opening level.
00:19:31Here, the agent is on a quest for all things gold, and that means getting inside the bullion depository at fort knox.
00:19:40>> Look at that gold!
00:19:41Look at that!
00:19:41Oh there's so much gold here!
00:19:43>> The fantasy of popular fiction is easy to understand, considering how much gold is thought to be inside fort knox.
00:19:56After world war ii, many began to wonder about how much gold was actually in the vault.
00:20:03That's because the american government was trading out gold for u.s. dollars.
00:20:08>> The united states is forced to deliver almost half a billion dollars from its gold reserves to meet the demands of creditor nations.
00:20:15France is among the biggest of the countries demanding gold in exchange for dollars owed.
00:20:22>> With gold flowing out of the country, rumors began to circulate.
00:20:27Questions were raised.
00:20:29>> The problem was the question of whether or not there was any gold there.
00:20:32And some rumors were that we had owed france a lot of gold, and that they had taken their gold out and there wasn't any left.
00:20:43>> For years, depository officials were pressured to open the vault for civilian inspection.
00:20:49But fort knox refused to allow the public inside.
00:20:54Finally in 1974, a dozen congressmen and 100 journalists were invited inside for the one and only time in its history.
00:21:05Among them was walter huddleston, a freshman senator from kentucky.
00:21:16Inside the front gate, I can say that it is with a great deal of interest that those of us from the congress have this opportunity to view the deposit here and to learn just what is inside the gold vault here at fort knox.
00:21:33>> It was the opportunity of a illinois congressman philip crane, who helped initiate the audit, was also there.
00:21:42>> Congressman crane, you suggested all this, why?
00:21:45>> Well, I did because there were rampant rumors and members of congress were receiving a great deal of mail based on the charge that significant portions of our gold reserves at fort so I suggested to secretary of the treasury simon that I thought this would be a good way, i think, to dispel those rumors.
00:22:01>> Soon, the secret contents of the vault will be viewed by the public and recorded on film for the first time ever.
00:22:13>> You have to back up.
00:22:16>> Huddleston is on hand as the vault door is unlocked, and a wheel is turned 14 times to open the latch.
00:22:25>> You'll have to stand back gentlemen, please, so we can get the door.
00:22:28>> It's a big thing. 20 tons.
00:22:30>> Well, I think there was a considerable amount of i personally felt like we were going to find gold, I didn't think that we were going to find it empty, but i, you know, recognized that maybe that was a possibility.
00:22:44>> The visare led to a room.
00:22:47>> You can see what's in here.
00:22:49>> A blue sign shows exactly what's inside this one single compartment--36,236 gold bars, it's valued at almost $500 million at the time.
00:23:07A seal in place since 1968 is cut.
00:23:11 now we have to be very careful with this document.
00:23:17>> The next thing they see is astounding.
00:23:21 it's >> lo and behold, there it was.
00:23:26I remember being somewhat in awe of seeing all the gold stacked and i thought, here I am in the presence of a great and it was an interesting experience right from the beginning.
00:23:41>> These been weighing about 22.
00:23:42>> Each of the gold bricks is worth $65,000 at the market price of the time.
00:23:48>> You got it, john?
00:23:49Don't drop it.
00:23:50>> Bill evans was one of the journalists allowed inside.
00:23:53>> Nobody knew what to expect.
00:23:55And everybody was wide-eyed and I'mre aow to see the gold, and we were allowed to pick it up, hold it, look at it, inspect it, and to my knowledge it was gold.
00:24:13>> Let me get the measurements.
00:24:15>> Gerald lush was editor ofthe news enterprisedaily newspaper.ere.
00:24:21>> I never had a doubt once i laid eyes on the gold that it i just thought, that's the real there's no way you could fake that.
00:24:33>> Amid the excitement, director of the mint mary brooks takes center stage as hostess of the she wears a money green dress, and a necklace adorned with gold coins.
00:24:46>> Miss--miss brooks, are you happy now that the gold is here?
00:24:49 I knew it was here all the time!
00:24:52>> I think she was having a I mean, how--how many times do you get to--to make a tour and lead a tour of fort knox, kentucky? first time ever.
00:25:04>> No photographer or reporter has been allowed into fort knox since.
00:25:10And the gold remains locked inside, protected by one of the most sophisticated security systems around.
00:25:19The system's details are tightly guarded, but by analyzing photographs, video, and eyewitness accounts, we can speculate about the type of security that's in place.
00:25:31Photos of the depository taken since its construction in 1936 reveal some of its secrets.
00:25:39Ground-level guard boxes at each corner are part of the original construction.
00:25:46More recent photographs show additional guard boxes on the roof.
00:25:51>> They've got some kind of security array that they've put up there since the days I was I mean, visible from the you can see that they've got guard boxes up there on that but what they've put up there, they certainly don't want anybody to see, because if you attempt to take a picture of it from the air, you're going to jail.
00:26:07>> The most recent aerial photo of the depository is this from this vantage point, no critical details of the security system are discernible.
00:26:21There is a hint, however, of fence lines around the building that have not always been there.
00:26:28>> I remember when you would go into the depository and you'd go up the main road, there was only one fence around the gold vault, and it was an old black wrought now, especially after 9/11, there is an array of multiple fences including concrete barricades that you the depository's original fence, built in 1937, defines an octagonal border arounthe building.
00:26:57A second fence, built later, encloses a larger, rectangular a fence along the driveway has been added as well.
00:27:06A third barrier extends the building's security perimeter out even farther.
00:27:12Less obvious as a security feature is the open nature of the terrain around the building.
00:27:18Until recently, the depository building has been surrounded by the journalists visiting the site in 1974 took now the trees are conspicuouin their absence.
00:27:34>> There were trees all around the gold vault in those days.
00:27:37You know, no one ever thought about how are you going to s the bad guys if they're coming up on the building or there was just so much that's changed.
00:27:43And it shows you how safe we once thought we were.
00:27:46>> The ever-changing world continually brings new threats to the safety of the gold that's why the security measures must be a step ahead of the times.
00:27:57>> The plain fact of the matter is that 's bin existence in its current form with electronic additions and sophistications and so on and so forth since 1937, and no one has ever gotten near it.
00:28:13>> Coming up next, we'll explore the secret security technology that the government does not youowut.

00:32:17The gold in the united states bullion depository at fort knox is protected by a web of security that extends beyond the obvious into the world of secrets and rumors.
00:32:31>> It's not what we know, it's what we don't know that keeps this building safe.
00:32:40>> Since the depository opened, the treasury department has released little information about its security, so throughout the vault's history, all sorts of stories have circulated.
00:32:53One involves construction on the workers reportedly built a secret system that will automatically drown vault intruders.
00:33:04>> The original design for the gold vault called for it to be able to be flooded like the bank of france.
00:33:10Whether it was constructed that way or not, the treasury department's not saying.
00:33:17>> The treasury department has never commented on rumors of ground-to-air missiles on the site or alleged mine fields in the surrounding grounds or the existence of hidden machine guns set to pop up and shoot at anyone approaching.
00:33:34Workers at the gold vault have also been known to spin their own tales.
00:33:39>> We used to go down after work, talk to tourists out on they'd look over and point to something out there in the grass, you know, "what is " you know, we'd look at 'em and just pop-up machine gun.
00:33:49 you know, what's gonna happen if I walk " >> while rumors still circulate, here's what we do know about the in 1937, there was a simple electric alarm system in place.
00:34:07 as an original security contractor.
00:34:12Today, government officials will not al the type or extent of security technology at fort knox.
00:34:20But security experts have a good idea of the kind of devices in place there.
00:34:26>> A place like fort knox is going to have things like seismic sensors, same thing they use on the southern border of the united states to see if people are walking by.
00:34:35>> David gerulski of vistascape security systems is an expert in his company helps protect some of the most high-profile facilities in the united states.
00:34:48>> So as you can see, we can very quickly build an outer alarm zone to have different responses to an attack or somebody who is coming into the area.
00:34:59>> Gerulski's company creates a computer simulation to show how the security system might work at fort knox.
00:35:10Video cameras and hidden sensors monitor movement and these multiple signals are combined into one giant analysis of the entire area.
00:35:24Advanced software puts it together in an incredible big picture.
00:35:29>> The software actually will then process the information and plot every moving object on an aerial photograph of a facility and show you where every object is moving in that facility and tell you what that object is.
00:35:44>> One computerized overview could relieve guards from the need to monitor dozens of this prevents a possible security breach.
00:35:54>> There's been studies that have shown that, uh, a human being can watch about 6 monitors at a time for only about 20 minutes, and then they become totally ineffective.
00:36:04>> Now guards can be more effective because they can look at one detailed screen that shows every movement in and around the grounds.
00:36:12Although fort knox is surrounded by 3 steel fences, gerulski believes an array of sensors can be networked to create invisible trip wires.
00:36:23>> It is quite possible that fort knox has this type of virtual fences and the ability to notice objects before they actually get to the physical barriers >> using a computer work station, security guards at fort knox could draw their virtual fences on the landscape, each a virtual fence along the nearby highway, for instance, would ignore passing cars, but would sound an alarm for loiterers.
00:36:53If you stopped here, you'd be tripping an alarm inside the building about 1,500 feet away.
00:37:00Each virtual fence or alarm zone would be different, sounding more urgent alarms as they get closer to the gold depository.
00:37:10The zone along the approach road would be at the highest setting.
00:37:15>> That way if any vehicle turns into the area and starts at a high rate of speed toward the facility, you want a special alarm to come out and notify you that an action needs to be taken.
00:37:26>> Whether or not virtual fences exist around the fort knox bullion depository is a highly classified secret, but more than likely, it does not end there, AND BIOMETRIC I.D.s COULD BE Part of the security chain.
00:37:42>> Chances are upon entering fort knox, you would most likely need to enter your code into a reader, place your fingerprint down, and simultaneously, while your fingerprint is being read, a camera would capture your facial image and both of those would identify you.
00:37:59>> The most modern fingerprinting technology is all a sensor picks up the print, displays it on a screen, and a computer would compare it to the employee database for identification.
00:38:12>> Please come a little closer to the camera.
00:38:15>> While someone's fingerprints can be damaged or altered, that's highly unlikely for the it is as good as a fingerprint for identification, and computers also make the process quick and easy.
00:38:30>> Thank you, you have been identified.
00:38:33>> One of the most amazing technologies in biometrics that might be in place at fort knox is the uereo cameras for a 3-dimensional computer identification of someone's face.
00:38:46>> It measures the different points of your eyes, the distance between your nose and this right here is the profile image where it's actually showing the 3-d, the depth perception measurement.
00:38:58Y taking such facial measurements, the fort knox computer would be able to it would even call the bluff of someone cunning enough to try plastic surgery to fool it.
00:39:11>> The red is the, actually, the hard tissue area of the face, whereas the blue is the soft so as you can see on the tip of the nose, it's blue.
00:39:18Right around the nostril area, it's the hard red, so if someone were to get a plastic surgery on their nose, it would change just the soft tissue.
00:39:27>> Security measures at the bullion depository, such as biometrics and virtual fences, will always be on the cutting edge,urpose of protecting america's national treasure.
00:39:43Coming up, the secret stash within the gold vault's chambers--royal jewels, narcotics, and even the constitution of the united states.

00:40:03It was not until the university of phoenix that I was able to work full-time, be a mom, and go to school.

00:43:37The estimated $100 billion of gold in fort knox represents only a tiny fraction of america's total wealth, but it has a powerful symbolic value with ancient roots.
00:43:51>> For thousands of years, from classical antiquity to modern nations in europe and the united states, gold is always, uh, thought of as a source of a nation's strength, some kind of stability, everything that everybody puts trust in.
00:44:10>> Gold has been used as currency, jewelry, and decoration for more than 5,000 its chemical symbol, au, comes from aurora, roman goddess of the dawn.
00:44:25It is a soft metal, easily worked and remarkably stable.
00:44:30Any piece of gold can last thousands of years virtually unchanged, making it ideal as currency.
00:44:39>> It's always a good idea to have some kind of gold reserve as a fallback position to lend some kind of credibility and confidence in a monetary system of a nation.
00:44:51>> Yet the story of the gold depository at fort knox involves much more than just american gold.
00:45:011939. War breaks out in europe.
00:45:05Allied nations such as britain and france, fearful of nazi looting, send their own gold reserves to fort knox for the vault's contents swell to an all-time high of nearly 650 million ounces.
00:45:23>> Fort knox symbolized the ultimate security and strength here in the heartland of the united states, well away from it could provide absolute security for valuable artifacts.
00:45:37>> Other types of treasures they are moved in secret and under the tightest years pass before the public even knows these artifacts were ever held at fort knox.
00:45:51>> Britain moved the crown jewels and a copy of the magna carta to the security of the vaults at fort knox.
00:46:04 war is moving ever closer to american shores.
00:46:12Librarian of congress archibald MacLEISH BECOMES WORRIED ABOUT Protecting america's most he asks if space is available at fort knox.
00:46:23>> The declaration of independence was moved to fort knox in 1941 and stored in the people did not realize when they walked through the library of congress what they were seeing were replicas on display.
00:46:42>> In time, the library of congress will send other irreplaceable artifacts--the constitution, a gutenberg bible, and lincoln's gettysburg address.
00:46:58These items are returned after the war, but another wartime artifact is secreted away in the vault for more than 30 years.
00:47:07>> One of the things we discovered while we were working there that no one else knew about it was that the gold vault was housing the crown of stephen, which were the hungarian crown jewels.
00:47:17>> The crown is given to american troops by a hungarian general at the end of world war ii for fear it will fall into the hands of the it comes to fort it remains here for more than 30 years, packed secretly in a mysterious crate.
00:47:41>> Anytime you'd look into a compartment and you'd see something besides, you know,
00:00:01God, dan's back.
00:00:02>> ♪♪ Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back ♪♪♪♪
00:00:03>> I was worried sick.
00:00:05You don't call, you dowrite.
00:00:06>> We have not heard from dan, but we are confident he is safe and secure.
00:00:10>> We were terribly concerned with the riots and all.
00:00:14Ll, most of us.
00:00:15>> Perloff is pro-riot.
00:00:16>> I don't think a couple of cars getting flipped is the big story everyone is making it into.
00:00:20>> He's right, no big deal.
00:00:21>> They were on what they call a co orange, dan, a disaster level.
00:00:27>> There were also reports of some more serious injuries, trauma patients as well as stabbings.
00:00:33>> What happened with this show?
00:00:35>> Yeah, I apologize to the nation.
00:00:38I'm sorry, dan.
00:00:43joined by the danettes, this is dan patrick on "the dan patrick " >> welcome to the final hour.
00:00:51Good to be back with the boys.
00:00:54I have a wrap-up show on danpatrick.com.
00:00:58The box score should be entertaining today.
00:01:01T the danettes is they don't stab one another in the back, they do it right in their chest.
00:01:06U.S. OPEN, rory McIlroy is picking up where he left off yesterday.
00:01:12He's making it look easy.
00:01:13He's the story.
00:01:14And this is a god send for the mother ship and because the masters is still fresh in everybody's mind.
00:01:23That final round collapse by rory McIlroy.
00:01:25Here he is, 21, 22 years of age and he's out there making it look easy on a very, very difficult course.
00:01:32I think he's 10 under right now total.
00:01:34I don't know how many holes he's played today, a few.
00:01:39But he's been the story and how he reacts to it and knows that these questions are coming about -- he could build up a big lead and he knows that the questions are coming about augusta.
00:01:50How do you prevent what happened at augusta from happening at the u.s. open?
00:01:54What did you learn from?
00:01:56Yeah, paulie.
00:01:57>> And the bigger lead he has, the bigger the story is.
00:02:01>> Yeah.
00:02:02It's a good story, though.
00:02:04And I like -- we always have these guys who are supposed to be the next.
00:02:08Well, there's not going to be the next tiger woods, there's not the next michael jordan.
00:02:20he's not the next tiger woods.
00:02:21Is he the next great player?
00:02:24He's 4 under through 11, paulie, is that right?
00:02:27>> So far today, 10 under total.
00:02:29>> But I like the fact that he's not afraid.
00:02:35and playing poorly than tiger did, and he had a chance to win.
00:02:40When tiger came off 18 and was INTERVIEWED BY bill McAtee, the way he came off and the way rory McILROY CAME OFF AFTER HE SHOT An 80 in that final interesting kid, but pretty, pretty confident.
00:02:57Likeable.
00:02:57And right now the story of the u.s. open.
00:03:00Ricky rubio is coming to minnesota.
00:03:02I don't know how the timberwolf fans feel about that.
00:03:07Is that your savior?
00:03:08I wouldn't plan on it.
00:03:09I think that he has a chance to be a nice complementary player there, but he's a pass first, shoot second or maybe pass first, pass second type point guard.
00:03:17And that's good news.
00:03:18I like that.
00:03:20But I think people may watch him and go that's it?
00:03:23And he'll feel the need almost to be like jason williams was.
00:03:29When white chocolate was playing well, they wanted to see something flashy.
00:03:33When they didn't, they didn't get their money's worth.
00:03:36So rubio coming over.
00:03:37What's that going to the with the timberwolves with the draft coming up next week.
00:03:48>> Seton and I were just talking.
00:03:50Doesn't it seem like ricky rubio has been around for a long time?
00:03:53>> Well, he has, since 16.
00:03:56>> He's 20.
00:03:56>> People have been talking about him since he came on the scene in europe, and he's been playing professionally.
00:04:02And now we get a chance to see him night in, night out.
00:04:05And there will questions about him.
00:04:08Just to get acclimated at that position.
00:04:11Of all the positions, point guard is the one where you know night in and night out you're facing maybe the best player on the opposing team, and that's what he's going to be faced with.
00:04:21And he's going to a bad team, so maybe the upside is they can er.
00:04:25And ricky rubio announced that he's finally headed to minnesota.
00:04:33We have an i-team report on the packers getting their super bowl rings.
00:04:37We'll have that for you coming up in ten minutes.
00:04:39>>> Also foul ball etiquette when you're a fan.
00:04:41We'll have that coming up.
00:04:42Chris in syracuse.
00:04:44Chris, thanks for holding.
00:04:45Good to have you back.
00:04:46>> Caller: Thanks, dan.
00:04:47I'd like to weigh in on the frs poll question.
00:04:51A couple of comments.
00:04:53For today, I think fritzy's favorite snack is weiners in blankets.
00:04:59I loved your analogy, that was great.
00:05:02Everybody went and ran with it.
00:05:03On the frs poll question, I've got to go with the yankees at wrigley.
00:05:07Paul brought it up last week, how it looked like if jeter hadn't got injured, he possibly may have gotten that hit at wrigley on national tv.
00:05:14I know it's a long shot, but i would have loved it if his 3,000th HIT WOULD HAVE BEEN A Home run.
00:05:25>> Congratulations on your bruins.
00:05:28>> Thanks very much, dan.
00:05:30>> This is what would have happened.
00:05:33If jeter homered at wrigley, the baseballs.
00:05:40They would get the home run baseball and quickly throw in a trashy baseball.
00:05:44They are consumers.
00:05:46They're capitalists as well out there in the bleachers.
00:05:50>>> Do we have the i-team report coming up there, paulie?
00:05:52>> Five minutes.
00:05:54>> Brad in kentucky.
00:05:54Thanks for holding.
00:05:58Welcome to the show.
00:05:58>> Caller: Hey, dp, it's bp.
00:06:01First time caller, 6'4", around 200 pounds.
00:06:05I'd like to weigh in on the frs poll question but there doesn't seem to be one today.
00:06:10COME ON, McLOVIN', GET IT Together.
00:06:12>> We're kind of getting used to this, I think.
00:06:15>> I was wondering of your take on the outfits at the u.s. open.
00:06:21Mannix was hating on them, especially the white belt.
00:06:24We'll probably be seeing these for a while with these up and comers.
00:06:29YOU'VE got McIlroy.
00:06:32And so maybe thought next time is hosting I can ask him opinion.
00:06:38>> Everything is cyclical in fashion, so the white belts were AROUND IN THE '70s AND NOW They're back.
00:06:44What fashion designers do is they go, you know, what was in 15, 20 years ago, 25 years ago, let's bring them back because you have a whole new generation.
00:06:54But then you also have people who wore them and now their kids are wearing them.
00:06:58So the white belts, I think if you're under 30, you can wear the white belt.
00:07:02Mickelson wearing a white belt, not a good look.
00:07:05But I think if you're going to do it, you make your fashion statement, fine.
00:07:11'70s And I don't like it now.
00:07:13But I understand, you know, the kids, they want to wear them.
00:07:16Something a little bit different.
00:07:17Yeah, paulie.
00:07:18>> I'm looking right now.
00:07:19A lot of these guys have the polo shirts with three or four sponsors.
00:07:23It seems like from month to month they have more sponsors.
00:07:27It's starting to donuts and weight watchers on the shirt at the same time.
00:07:52He may have had hooters on there too.
00:07:54But the guys are -- they're morphing towards that, where they're trying to sneak more on there.
00:08:00But I think there's a limit.
00:08:02We should check with the pga and see if they're -- fritzy, would you check that?
00:08:06>> Yep.
00:08:07>> Check and see if there's a limit or a max of sponsors.
00:08:11Also do check in with adam sandler, sandman in boston for the stanley cup final, being a bruins fan.
00:08:17And on your movie roles, I'm still holding on for dear life for you guys to be in this movie.
00:08:27You know what, this is what i was told.
00:08:28In lieu of payment is what I was told.
00:08:31In lieu of my payment of being in this movie, that I'm holding on to get you guys in the movie.
00:08:38And the movie "just go with it" just came out, so I'm flying from boston to san francisco to connect to go to vancouver, game seven, and the movie comes on, " so I'm thinking -- and tell everybody to watch your scene?
00:08:57>> I didn't but I did get up right before my scene to go to the bathroom and then come back just so people would see me and then that face up there.
00:09:05Not one person said anything to me when I got off the plane.
00:09:09>> You're looking at it the wrong way.
00:09:11You're such a good actor in the role, nobody knew it was you outside of that scene.
00:09:15>> YEAH, McLOVIN'.
00:09:16>> So in lieu of payment, do you get back end points on this?
00:09:19>> No.
00:09:20>> Do we get points?
00:09:21>> No, you don't get points.
00:09:22You're going to get a pointer.
00:09:24>> What's a point mean anyway?
00:09:25>> That's going to be shut up.
00:09:27I'm trying to get you guys as my camera crew, but you don't have four guys as a camera crew.
00:09:32In my character as randall morgan on this movie, "i hate you dad," I can get two of you guys as camera guys.
00:09:40Maybe three.
00:09:44Which means -- >> I'm the makeup guy?
00:09:46>> I don't know.
00:09:47I'm working on it.
00:09:48Just so you know.
00:09:49It's tough to get four guys in a movie as extras, and I'm trying.
00:09:54But I said to sandler, a promise is a promise.
00:09:58He said I'm trying, danny, I'm trying.
00:10:00YES, McLOVIN'.
00:10:01>> This isn't going to end the whole production.
00:10:03We're not talking about a big issue here, is it?
00:10:06I mean is sandler thinking of ting it down?
00:10:11>> Yes.
00:10:12Yes.
00:10:18Production has been stopped on the movie "i hate you dad" due to the fact the danettes do not have a role.
00:10:24We'll have more for you coming up.
00:10:26I don't think that that's going to happen.
00:10:27But rex ryan is going to be on the scene when I'm shooting my part in the movie.
00:10:33Rex has a small role there.
00:10:35Yeah,seton.
00:10:36>> How do you squeeze in rex ryan into a small role.
00:10:40>> Did you just call him fat?
00:10:44>> Wow!
00:10:44>> The guy has had a little weight problem.
00:10:46>> Man!
00:10:48>> I wish I had been smart enough to realize I was doing that.
00:10:52>> McLOVIN', DO WE ACTUALLY HAVE A poll update?
00:10:56>> Nope.
00:10:56I just put up would you rather attend the yankees at wrigley open this weekend.
00:11:01>> That's all we could come up with, as great as this audience is, the locker room?
00:11:06>> It's your fault because you got us distracted on anthony weiner and it went in a bad direction.
00:11:13>> Oh, that's right.
00:11:14Did you see dwyane wade and LeBRON JAMES WHERE WADE GOES WHY Do we call everything gate?
00:11:22I think somebody needs to tell him there was a thing called watergate at a hotel.
00:11:27Watergate, that's why we call it that.
00:11:29Those guys were having a damn good time in their exit interview after losing the nba finals.
00:11:36>>> The i-team report on the packers getting their super bowl rings.
00:11:41Fan etiquette on foul balls.
00:11:42We'll get to more phone calls as well, 877-3dp-show.
00:11:46E-mail address dp@danpatrick.com.
00:11:5017 After the hour, "the dan " >>> what did he do?
00:15:57>> He's wearing it and shoving it in our face.
00:15:59>> I to him.
00:16:00>> I could have put it on my back so you could see it.
00:16:03You know, I may do that.
00:16:05>> Don't be angry at him.
00:16:07I got him the pin, okay.
00:16:08>> We're back.
00:16:09>> If you want to be angry at somebody, be angry at me.
00:16:11And you know what, the next time I go on the road, I'm getting him something.
00:16:16>> Oh, getting him another thing.
00:16:30>>> Man, I thought you guys wouldelcome me back.
00:16:34At least one danette is.
00:16:37Apparently I have to bring gifts from the road to be welcomed back here.
00:16:42Sad faces of the seton, fritzy, McLOVIN'.
00:16:47I was walking in downtown vancouver and I saw a pin, a soccer pin.
00:16:53Paulie is a vancouver -- or a liverpool fan.
00:16:56So it in vancouver and I brought it back.
00:16:58That's it.
00:16:59It's a small little pin.
00:17:00It's a small little token of my appreciation for all the great things that paulie does.
00:17:07What, seton?
00:17:08>> So you don't have any type of appreciation for -- do we do any small things great here?
00:17:13We don't do anything good?
00:17:15>> There was nothing I could bring back that I thought would be truly representative of something you love, seton.
00:17:22And I saw this and I just thought paulie would appreciate a liverpool soccer pin.
00:17:28That's all.
00:17:28Yeah, paulie.
00:17:29>> I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth, but is the size of the pin equal to the depth and the broad -- how much you think of my work?
00:17:36>> No, no.
00:17:38>> It's a great pin.
00:17:41>> Don't you start here.
00:17:43I know you're maybe just joking.
00:17:45WHAT, McLOVIN'?
00:17:46>> Were you at any used bookstores?
00:17:49Maybe an original copy of "old man and the sea" something literary that we share in common.
00:17:56Maybe a music poster for seton, an adult video for fritzy something.
00:18:05>> I didn't see any of these things.
00:18:06I saw native american carvings, a storr that.
00:18:08I don't know.
00:18:09Anybody want a native -- >> hello.
00:18:11>> Seton has been wanting that for years.
00:18:14>> Actually.
00:18:15>> Native american carvings, i saw that.
00:18:17I saw a head shop, cigar store.
00:18:22There wasn't anything that was there for you guys.
00:18:24WHAT, McLOVIN'.
00:18:25>> , Fritzy and whaling back in his single days.
00:18:31>> What?
00:18:31Why is that a shot at women that fritzy dated?
00:18:36>> I don't get it.
00:18:38>> They were fat.
00:18:39>> You used to.
00:18:44>> Wow.
00:18:45>> Completely unnecessary.
00:18:51Do you still have the russian in miami?
00:18:53You tell me how heavy she is.
00:18:55>> I saw your former girlfriend.
00:18:57>> Oh, no.
00:18:57>> I saw her.
00:19:00Dark hair in miami at the super bowl.
00:19:02>> She could have slid under the hotel room door.
00:19:05>> She was -- she was very pretty.
00:19:08She was very striking.
00:19:12McLOVIN' WAS JUST -- OKAY, LET'S Just stop this.
00:19:15I brought something back, I made a mistake.
00:19:17Next time I don't bring anybody a gift back.
00:19:20Okay?
00:19:20Is that how you guys want it?
00:19:22What if I saw something for you, seton, and I didn't find anything for anybody else?
00:19:26>> Yeah.
00:19:27>> No problem with that?
00:19:28>> No.
00:19:29>> Okay.
00:19:30All right.
00:19:30>> This has nothing to do with those guys.
00:19:33>> So from now on if I see something that I think reminds me of you guys or somebody in particular, then I'll get it.
00:19:40If not -- what did I bring you back from the olympics?
00:19:44You got swag.
00:19:44>> All of us did.
00:19:46>> Sweatshirts, hats.
00:19:48>> Masters hats.
00:19:49>> Yeah, brought you back stuff from augusta.
00:19:54>> You've set a certain bar, dan.
00:19:56So we have a right to be disappointed.
00:19:59You did this, not us.
00:20:00>> Okay.
00:20:01My bad.
00:20:02I will never, ever make this mistake again.
00:20:05We have an i-team report.
00:20:06The packers got their super bowl rings.
00:20:09Of course what better way and what time to celebrate a super bowl victory with your rings than june during a lockout.
00:20:15Here's the i-team report.
00:20:17>> And now, we go to the newsroom for an i-team investigation.
00:20:22The motto of our news team is -- >> if good journalism is wrong, then we don't want to be right.
00:20:29>> Let's go to the newsroom.
00:20:31Paulie.
00:20:32>> Thank you, dan.
00:20:32You asked if it was okay for the pa coaches to get together during the lockout.
00:20:40According to eric, they talked with commissioner goodell to get specific permission to have a get-together just to celebrate the victory and give out the rings.
00:20:48They had to be clear that was was a celebration and presentation of the rings and no practitings or any real discussion about football.
00:20:55That being said, they didn't walk around table to table and make sure nobody is talking about defense and offense.
00:21:00Coaches and players did socialize.
00:21:02The team was brought in by the team management, flown in.
00:21:05No word on what food was served.
00:21:07They wouldn't give us an answer.
00:21:12big in milwaukee, but they would not reveal this, which was very telling.
00:21:16We're still looking into that.
00:21:18>> There is a limit on the amount of money you're allowed to spend on each ring?
00:21:23>> Kind of.
00:21:24>> $5,000?
00:21:25>> No.
00:21:26The league pays for the first $5,000 of 150 rings.
00:21:30What you do after that is on your own.
00:21:32So a $500 rick wouldn't like like -- >> $5,000.
00:21:36>> Yeah, wouldn't look that good.
00:21:38This has 13 diamonds embedded in the g logo which equal the 13 packer championships.
00:21:44The crest around it, 92 diamonds that recognize the 92-year history of the green bay.
00:21:51Also the words mind, goal, purpose and heart, the inspirational motto of the team.
00:21:56Again, the league paid for the first $5,000 of each of these rings.
00:21:59>> But we don't know what the packers ponied up.
00:22:01>> No.
00:22:02They have not released that information.
00:22:04There's estimates but we don't want to give those out.
00:22:06>> Anything with favre mentioned on the ring?
00:22:10YES, McLOVIN'.
00:22:10>> The packers are a public company, so they have to reveal how much they spent down the road.
00:22:15>> Did anybody spend more than $5,000 on their engagement ring?
00:22:21PAULIE DID, McLOVIN' DID?
00:22:29McLOVIN', HOW MUCH DID YOU Spend?
00:22:31>> About eight.
00:22:31>> Eight grand.
00:22:34Now, isn't that supposed to be -- isn't there a mathematical equation there of what you make?
00:22:39Is it three months' salary?
00:22:41>> Well, if yourwife is so far out of your league you spend extra, proportional.
00:22:48>> Paulie, did you spend more or LESS than McLovin'?
00:22:52>> I think just less, if i remember right.
00:22:54I think it was 7500ish.
00:22:55>> Seton?
00:22:58>> This is an awkward topic.
00:23:01>> I actually spent zero dollars on my wife's wedding ring.
00:23:04>> No, engagement ring.
00:23:06>> Engagement ring.
00:23:08>> You didn't buy her an engagement ring?
00:23:10>> No, I got a family ring.
00:23:12>> That's fine, that's fine.
00:23:14>> I got insanely lucky.
00:23:16>> Fritzy?
00:23:18>> I had a similar situation.
00:23:22>> I think I spent less than $2,000 on my engagement ring.
00:23:27>> What year was it?
00:23:29>> 25 Years ago.
00:23:30>> So that probably equates to similar.
00:23:33>> It was an antique ring and i got it in the diamond district in new york.
00:23:37By the way, don't go into the diamond district unless you have backup.
00:23:43I got locked into the actual store.
00:23:46We were shopping for engagement rings.
00:23:49We went into a store, and the guy shut the door, locked the door, said you're not getting out until you buy an engagement ring.
00:23:58It was already a small little place and I was getting claustrophobic.
00:24:04I said open that door.
00:24:06Finally my wife said you better open that door.
00:24:08I went outside and I'm hyperventilating and then I went to another place, ended up finding a ring and bought that.
00:24:16So I think less than $2,000.
00:24:18>> That's one of the hardest things to do in life because you have no idea as a man how to buy a ring.
00:24:23It's just nothing you've done in your life.
00:24:25>> But they also sort of prey upon that.
00:24:28You know, they talk about clarity and the cut.
00:24:30We don't know any of that stuff.
00:24:32But we know if we screw it up, then we'll hear about it the rest of our lives.
00:24:38But in that whole three -- what is it, three paychecks there?
00:24:41>> Three months' salary.
00:24:42>> Three months' salary.
00:24:44Come on.
00:24:45You can't put a price tag on love.
00:24:47Although it looks like the dodgers may.
00:24:49the McCourts have reached a settlement in their divorce case.
00:24:52This according to the "l.a.
00:24:56" I don't have the details yet.
00:24:59Can you give dillbeck a call fritzy and see if steve will join us.
00:25:04So they filed for divorce 20 months ago, one week shy of what would have been their 30th anniversary.
00:25:10The ownership of the dodgers has been in limbo ever since.
00:25:14>> HOW MUCH DO YOU think McCourt paid for his engagement ring?
00:25:18>> So 30 years ago?
00:25:24Oh, wow.
00:25:25I don't know how much money he had at the time.
00:25:27That's the key.
00:25:29When you get married, how much money you're making at the time.
00:25:31I think I was making $18,000 a year.
00:25:372'S a lot.
00:25:39>> Yeah.
00:25:40So one-ninth of my salary, i thought that was pretty good.
00:25:46Now, I'd probably get something around 2500, something around there.
00:25:50But once again, should I really have to pay something to show my love for you?
00:25:54Why don't I just show it to you every single day.
00:25:56>> Like anthony weiner?
00:25:59>> We'll get to your phone calls coming up.
00:26:02Fan etiquette on foul balls.
00:26:04A couple of disturbing moments there including one at a diamondbacks game.
00:26:09Also your phone calls coming up, dan and the danettes, "the dan " >>> ice water in these veins.
00:28:34I saw you coming.
00:28:35>> Is that why you're so cold?
00:28:37>> I like the awkward moment with the engagement crisis.
00:28:41Engage rent ring.
00:28:43>> Yeah.
00:28:43>> I like that.
00:28:46>> Do we come off as like ritzy ritzy?
00:28:51>> Yeah.
00:28:52>> I think it was about $8,000.
00:28:53Isn't that about right or is that crazy?
00:28:56>> That's a lot of money there.
00:28:58>> But why do you have to do that?
00:28:59>> That's the point.
00:29:01It's an awkward situation.
00:29:03>> But you asked, you asked the question.
00:29:05>> I'm saying you didn't have to spend eight grand.
00:29:09>I know.
00:29:10>> Look, she's lucky to have you.
00:29:12>> I don't know about that.
00:29:14>> If she could keep just the ring or just me.
00:29:18What happens to hef's girl now that -- by the way, that's a total scam.
00:29:22>> Yeah.
00:29:23>> That playmate?
00:29:24That's a total scam.
00:29:25>> What happened?
00:29:25I didn't see it.
00:29:26>> She called off the wedding.
00:29:28>> He's 85, she's 25?
00:29:30>> Yeah.
00:29:31I mean you're already -- what are you in this for?
00:29:34>> Yeah.
00:29:35>> Come on.
00:29:36Gold digger.
00:29:37>> Fame and cash.
00:29:38>> She called it off so she doesn't get to cash in.
00:29:41>> Well, do you give back the engagement ring?
00:29:46>> Maybe she just realized at the last minute she wasn't as attracted to a guy 60 years older than her as she thought.
00:30:50>>> Allergy suferrors, the most prescribed antihistimine, allegra, is now available without a prescription.
00:30:57Same exact allergy med sib, same full prescription strength right on the shelf.
00:31:01Get it all with allegra, use as directed.
00:31:04>>> I saw where hugh hefner's fiancee has decided to call off the wedding.
00:31:09Do you think she woke up one day and went, oh, my god, you're 85.
00:31:14She's 25.
00:31:15Doesn't this feel like a scam from the beginning?
00:31:18Doesn't it sound like publicity?
00:31:20>> He knows what he's getting into, though.
00:31:23>> Well, he does.
00:31:25Does she?
00:31:26Maybe she realized that, oh, these girls who are in the playboy mansion, they're not leaving any time soon?
00:31:32Yeah, fritzy.
00:31:33>> Could it be one of those, what do you mean I'm not getting the center fold.
00:31:39And all of a sudden she's not going down the aisle.
00:31:41>> No, she's on the cover of playboy this month.
00:31:46>> Maybe there are other promises not being delivered on so she's pulling out.
00:31:50>> Come on.
00:31:52It is hugh hefner, but he's 85.
00:31:54>> Is it possible that he's doing it for publicity?
00:31:56>> What publicity does he need?
00:31:58>> We're talking about him.
00:32:00I don't know that the playboy brand is -- it's probably taken a hit since the internet has come on.
00:32:04>> Do you think this is going to drive people to the magazine all of a sudden because she decided to say I'm not going to get married to you?
00:32:10Yeah, fritzy.
00:32:11>> I heard she met a hunky 83-year-old while she was playing checkers.
00:32:17>> I've met somebody younger than you.
00:32:18He's 83.
00:32:23Did we hear from anybody covering the dodgers with the "l.a. times" fritzy?
00:32:28>> I spoke with two gentlemen.
00:32:29One is in a courtroom and unfortunately can't do it.
00:32:32The other I woke up and he's a little grouchy about that.
00:32:35>> Okay.
00:32:36>> We tried.
00:32:37>> All right, all right.
00:32:38McCOURTS REACHED A SETTLEMENT IN The dodgers divorce case.
00:32:41I'd like to know who gets mattingly.
00:32:44Do you realize they still owe manny ramirez money?
00:32:49$8 Million.
00:32:51Man.
00:32:51>>> Fan etiquette.
00:32:54Paulie, describe what happened.
00:32:54This is the diamondbacks game?
00:32:56>> Yes.
00:32:56So a foul ball goes towards the dugout.
00:32:59One of the players kind of snags the foul ball and of course they chuck it up to the fans.
00:33:03He just threw it over his shoulder and there was a woman right there.
00:33:06She kind of lost the ball and it went on the top of the dugout.
00:33:09And this guy, probably about 35 years old, just kind of boxes her out and rips the ball out and takes it.
00:33:15His buddies were like oh, man, trying to tap him on the back and say let her have it, let her have it.
00:33:22Even the guys calling the game are like, oh, dude, what are you doing?
00:33:26>> Yeah.
00:33:26>> But every man for themselves?
00:33:29Every woman for themselves?
00:33:30>> No, no, no, no.
00:33:31You know you're on camera.
00:33:32Even if you're not on camera or don't know you're on camera, it's not going to play out well there.
00:33:37You know, you look like the big bully that you're taking the ball away from the woman.
00:33:42And -- did this guy -- he was with his buddies?
00:33:45He didn't have his son, he couldn't use that as an excuse, right?
00:33:49>> No, no son.
00:33:50Would you have just handed it to a kid neared you to make you look better?
00:33:54>> Once you get booed on the jumbotron, that's when you give the ball to a little kid.
00:33:59>> Did you see the otherideo from sometime in the last week or so where the woman grabbed the ball right out of the kid's hand?
00:34:05>> Yes, yes.
00:34:06>> That was bad, not good.
00:34:09Poor kid is standing there hey, walks back up the stairs.
00:34:12>> I was at, believe it or not, a chicago blitz game when I was 13 or 14 years old with a couple friends.
00:34:19And they didn't have the nets for the extra points.
00:34:21They couldn't even afford nets.
00:34:22Ball goes into the stands.
00:34:24Everyone is scrambling for the ball.
00:34:25One of my 13-year-old bull ease grabs the bull and this big dude and his wife ripped it out of his hands and took it from my friend.
00:34:35>> That's a football.
00:34:36>> Expensive?
00:34:37>> Yeah.
00:34:39>> So that's okay?
00:34:39>> Yes, but not a baseball.
00:34:42>>> Did you see where the wimbledon draw has those guys that had that 70 to 68, now random draw, they just happened to have these two guys meet again in the opening round?
00:34:56Do you believe it's a random draw?
00:35:00These are the guys who, what was it, 11 hours and 5 minutes their match lasted?
00:35:07First round match at the all england club and they had the 70-68 set?
00:35:14They said it was a random draw and these two are facing one another.
00:35:19Yeah, fritzy.
00:35:20>> Do you start reworking the calendar just in case it gets to be a little long and pushing things back and readjusting the schedule just in case?
00:35:29>> Why don't you just go the normal time?
00:35:32>> 38 Minutes.
00:35:35Straight set.
00:35:366-0, 6-0.
00:35:38>> But these two are going to meet again.
00:35:40The longest match is now a rematch at wimbledon.
00:35:43Tony in florida, welcome to the program.
00:35:46>> Caller: Thanks for taking my call.
00:35:47You know, I was watching the stanley cup over several weeks, and I watch a lot of sports and I used to play hockey, but i have never been more impressed with the coverage of not only the hockey, but the insight that everybody provides, from roenick to pang to all of them.
00:36:09They're just real good at what they do.
00:36:12And eddie olchek, being an excoach and explayer, I had to tell people to be quiet during intermissions because I wanted to hear what these guys were saying and that never happens in any other sport I watch.
00:36:27>> Well, thank you.
00:36:29Mike milbury and keith jones were great and dock emrick with the call.
00:36:33I'm very proud of it.
00:36:34Even if I wasn't part of it, very proud to be watching and be part of nbc with the stan knee cup final.
00:36:40One of the largest ratings that they have ever had for a game seven.
00:36:43Good numbers there.
00:36:44It helps having boston there.
00:36:46Yeah, paulie.
00:36:47>> What did you think in the moment when it was before the third period of game seven and you asked jones to give like a coach's locker room speech?
00:36:55>> I thought he did great.
00:36:57I was ready to suit up.
00:36:59And I'd go out there and give him a couple of shifts.
00:37:02But I thought it was well done.
00:37:03And milbury is a wild card because he's not afraid to say anything.
00:37:08Now, he di have a bodyguard in ncve he didn't need one in boston, but in vancouver he needed one because he called the sedin twins thelma and louise.
00:37:18And I joking referred to luongo as borat but I did that off the air.
00:37:26Migoes I might use that tonight.
00:37:28No, no, I don't think you should.
00:37:31When I saw him take off his mask, I said that looks like borat there.
00:37:35>>> We have our line of the week coming up, which had to do with vancouver rioting and being a part of it.
00:37:41And I was fortunate that once the game was over, got into a car, went to the airport, so I'm heading away from downtown.
00:37:47Didn't have to go through that.
00:37:49But as I'm going back game five to my hotel, you could see all of the people out on the streets, because a lot of people watched.
00:37:57There were large scree monitors out in a couple of places there in downtown vancouver and people with congregate there.
00:38:04It was a recipe for disaster.
00:38:06But then I think the element, and, you know, these people who were there, not necessarily hockey fans.
00:38:13There were hockey fans there, but there was an element that i think was brought out just because it afforded them the opportunity to go out and do something stupid.
00:38:22It's not an indictment of vancouver.
00:38:24You know, we see this in cities all over america.
00:38:27It was just this played out because there were cameras that were already positioned to watch these people celebrate.
00:38:33That's why you had those cameras there in place.
00:38:36They we in positio to watch these people maybe vancouver winning its first stanley cup in 40 years.
00:38:41We'll come back, we'll get to your phone calls, more of your phone calls as well.
00:38:46It doesn't feel like a friday, does it?
00:38:48Maybe because I just showed up for work this week.
00:38:52Do we have a poll question, McLOVIN'?
00:38:53>> Yes, we do.
00:38:55Would you rather go to the yankees at wrigley or the u.s.
00:38:57Open this weekend?
00:38:58>> That's lame.
00:38:59All right.
00:39:00We'll give the results of that, we what learned on the program.
00:39:03We'll close up shop.
00:39:04A little arcade fire as well.
00:39:06Dan >>> this is to all the fathers out there.
00:43:26Oh, yeah.
00:43:35>> This goes out to all you fathers, and of course all you mothers.
00:43:41A little arcade fire, boys.
00:43:47♪♪♪♪
00:44:07>> all right.
00:44:07Line of the week.
00:44:09Do you have that for me, paulie?
00:44:11>> ian McIntyre of the vancouver sun talking about the riots in his city.
00:44:15>> All right.
00:44:16>> All I can say is that the famous canadian social safety net has some pretty big holes in it because a lot of those people should have been institutionalized long before the canucks lost the stanley cup.
00:44:29I think very few of them had paid $500 for a ticket.
00:44:33In fact I'd say a lot of them had never been to a hockey game in their life.
00:44:37I don't think the canucks losing the stanley cup had much to do with it.
00:44:42These are idiots who will look for, first of all, any chance to drink.
00:44:48And once they have had enough to drink and there's enough of their kind in numbers, they'll look for any chance to make trouble and fight police and break windows and get free jeans.
00:44:59>> ALL RIGHT, ian McIntyre of " and it was in daytime with cameras.
00:45:05I don't think it will be too tough to identify a lot of these folks.
00:45:12Did you see the couple on the street making out during the riots?
00:45:16>> Great picture.
00:45:19>> Yeah.
00:45:19Yeah.
00:45:20Odd.
00:45:22But you know what, when the moment hits you, I guess.
00:45:24 or just a story to tell.
00:45:28Remember when the riots happened, guess what we were doing?
00:45:31>> I'm going to guess that was probably for a photo opportunity.
00:45:35>> How exactlylan that?
00:45:38Ohio, if there's ever a riot in this town, let's go to the street and kiss.
00:45:42>> You know what turns me on, a nice riot.
00:45:45If one ever happens, I'll remember that.
00:45:47>> Was she hot or hockey riot hot?
00:45:52>> Wow.
00:45:53I don't have a lot in that category.
00:45:57She looked like she was hockey hot.
00:46:00I don't know if she was hockey riot hot.
00:46:02>> She was smokin'.
00:46:05>> Thank you, chris marsh.
00:46:07>> Get a couple of phone calls in here.
00:46:09Jake in wisconsin.
00:46:13Jakester, welcome back.
00:46:14>> Caller: What up, dp.
00:46:18Did you catch that play by cabrera last night by the indians?
00:46:22>> No, I did not.
00:46:23>> He had a pretty amazing behind-the-back play again.
00:46:28On that frs poll question, i think I'd rather watch two first place teams battle off in fenway versus going to wrigley to watch the yankees play your cubbies.
00:46:39>> All right.
00:46:39You know what, there's never a bad time to go to wrigley.
00:46:43And yankees being there, that's good stuff.
00:46:46But with jeets not in the lineup, it's just not the same.
00:46:52Mark in iowa.
00:46:53Mark, thanks for holding, welcome to the show.
00:46:55>> Happy friday, fellas.
00:46:56>> Hi, bud.
00:46:58>> Caller: I've got three quick golf shots.
00:47:00 open, keep an eye on zach johnson.
00:47:04He's worked his way up to second place.
00:47:06Mind you that's eight strokes back.
00:47:08I disagree with dan hicks.
00:47:09I don't think tiger will win any more majors and I don't think he'll have any more wins.
00:47:14I think his physical injury may give him a ticket out with some dignity, but I think mainly it's a mental thing where he's kind of lost his invincibility.
00:47:33I'm really worried that rory may seen as the next great norman if he's not able to finish this off.
00:47:41Boy, as a 22-year-old, that's going to be a tough tag.
00:47:44I do find it interesting andy north earlier in the week on the mother ship said there were no 65s TO BE HAD ON THAT GOLF Course and rory is just about READY TO POST BACK-TO-BACK 65s.
00:47:56>> Good stuff, mark.
00:47:57Have a good weekend.
00:47:58YEAH, McILROY IS AT 11 UNDER Right now, after 14 holes he's at 11 under.
00:48:04That's an eight-stroke lead right now.
00:48:06>> Do you think he could play par golf the final two days and win?
00:48:11>> Yeah, yeah.
00:48:12Yeah.
00:48:12Usually they set up -- the usga will set it up to par winning.
00:48:17That's why tiger won by 15 shots at pebble, which is -- I mean it's mind boggling.
00:48:22To win that event where it's set up where everybody is pretty much even, par is usually what you walk away with and you go thank you very much.
00:48:32He's at 11 under right now.
00:48:34ANYBODY THINK THAT rory McIlroy does not win the u.s. open?
00:48:38Seton?
00:48:40Oh, okay.
00:48:41Why are you going against rory?
00:48:42>> I don't know.
00:48:43>> Just the golf gods?
00:48:44>> Yeah.
00:48:44>> Fritzy?
00:48:45>> I'm going to say no because i have a headline prepared if he blows it at the end.
00:48:51>> All right.
00:48:51Let me hear it.
00:48:53>> Same old rory.
00:48:55>> Okay.
00:48:55Not as good as your anthony weiner headlines.
00:48:59>> B plus, b.
00:49:01I'm take it.
00:49:02>> B minus, maybe a c plus.
00:49:04>> I do like how fritzy wants this young man to fail so he can have a couple of good headlines.
00:49:11>> Yeah.
00:49:11Help make my job easier, fail.
00:49:14>>> Update the poll resu lame poll.
00:49:17>> 52% Of the poll would rather open than the yankees at wrigley.
00:49:22>>> What we learned on the program.
00:49:23Go around the room.
00:49:24Fritzy, what did you learn?
00:49:26>> We expect "harden the interruption" to be a new anthony weiner show sometime soon.
00:49:32>> No.
00:49:33I thought it was leaning left.
00:49:36>> Seton?
00:49:36>> I learned what I've always known, dan.
00:49:39>> What?
00:49:39>> You like paulie better than us.
00:49:41>> Yeah.
00:49:42Well, he's been with me longer.
00:49:44He's been more instrumental in making this show what it is.
00:49:48And I got him a pledge pin.
00:49:53Yes, a pledge pin.
00:49:55Got him a nice little soccer pin.
00:49:57As a token of my affection.
00:49:59Yes, paulie, what did you learn?
00:50:01>> Jeff gordon, if it would help him win the championship, would bring back the mullet and the mustache.
00:50:07>> McLOVIN'?
00:50:07>> I learned jeff gordon thought a mustache thought he made it look older.
00:50:13>> Fritzy, what did I learn?
00:50:14>> Dan hicks has a very solid bob costas impression.
00:50:17>> I couldn't tell the difference between dan hicks and bob costas at one point when he was doing his impersonation.
00:50:23>> I liked when he said it's a very big event, I'm here, I'm bob costas.
00:50:28What I learned is that dan hicks did confirm that I am not married to hannah storm, his wife.
00:50:37You guys still don't believe me.
00:50:38What we learned, fraught to you by fram.
00:50:42Fram tested beyond any conditions you'll ever encounter.
00:50:45Don't fail your engines, use fram.
00:50:49>>> Jose in alabama, hey, bud.
00:50:53>> Caller: Hey, first-time caller, long-time listener, 5'10", 220.
00:51:00I wanted to comment on the frs poll.
00:51:02>> All right.
00:51:02>> I'd rather be at the u.s.
00:51:04Open, you know, going and seeing this young talent without tiger.
00:51:07First time tiger hasn't been there since '94 so it would be interesting to see how that tournament went.
00:51:12And just want to say you guys are awesome and keep it up and thank you for being awesome.
00:51:16>> All right, thank you, jose.
00:51:19>> By the way, happy father's day to all.

00:51:28>> No, but that's all right.
00:51:30>> I know paulie has done this before and has another child on the way in august and we all look forward to that arrival, paulie.
00:51:36>> And we didn't find out the sex like you said.
00:51:38>> Yes, don't, don't.
00:51:39>>> Coming up on monday, david fair tee will join us.

00:52:22" --Captions by VITAC-- www.vitac.com >>> Today on "big 12 showcase women's sports special," we put a bow on the 2010-2011 big 12 athletic the finish was as good as it gets.
00:55:42We have a complete recap of the big 12 performance of the women's college world series, where the conference comprised half of the 18 field.
00:55:50Then at the track and field nationals, conference athletes claim a slew of ncaa titles, including the team championship for a third straight year.
00:55:58Plus, we'll look ahead to the big 12's future as a ten-team league.
00:56:03It's all ahead in this final celebration of women in the big 12 conference on "big 12 showcase women's sports " caption funding provided by fox sports net ♪♪♪♪
00:56:37stadium, host of the women's college world series and the host site for our final "big 12 showcase women's " I'M leslie McCalf lynn.
00:56:46Here it was an incredible showing for the big 12 conference, making up half of the eight teams here at the wcw with baylor, oklahoma, oklahoma state and the big 12 regular season champion missouri.
00:56:56It wasn't quite the ending many had hoped for but still a great showing.
00:57:00Here's a recap.
00:57:06>> The wcws began with the big 12 head-to-head between oklahoma state and baylor.
00:57:12Osu won both regular season matchups, sweeping the lady bears in waco, but this one turned out to be a great pitching duel between baylor's whitney canyon and osu's cat espinoza, throwing up zeros through the regulation seven innings and then some.
00:57:26Then at the bottom of the eighth, baylor's kelsey ketler ended it in walk-off fashion.
00:57:32>> Nails that one, and it is gone!
00:57:36>> Just her fifth home run of the year.
00:57:38Kentler put baylor in the winner's bracket and osu on the brink of elimination.
00:57:43And for osu, it didn't take much longer.
00:57:45First on the chopping block with an elimination game, the cowgirls fell to cal, 6-2, ending oklahoma's second straight 40-win season.
00:57:56>> Where this program is at and to leave this program and know thawe were one of the top eight teams in the nation, you can't ask for anything better, and with this group of girls, i wouldn't trade them for the world.
00:58:09>> Another head-to-head big 12 matchup came later on saturday between oklahoma and missouri after each had lost first-round games, the sooners to arizona state, the tigers to florida.
00:58:21Mizzou broke a scoreless tie on a double steal throwing error, allowing pinch runner shanna white to score.
00:58:28Plenty more run support did come for chelsea thomas in the circle.
00:58:32She just missed a shutout after giving up a run in the seventh, but earned a complete game six-out shutout, advancing mizzou and ending the run of the oklahoma sooners.
00:58:43>> They learned so much about life here, I thought, just about perseverance and fighting and never quitting.
00:58:49And I just love that about them.
00:58:52And I think that' the seniors helped lead that and allowed them to understand that.
00:58:57>> Missouri moved on in the brackets to face, what else, another big 12 opponent in the baylor lady bears.
00:59:03Mizzou's chelsea thomas and bu's whitney cannion once again engaged in a brutal pitchers duel.
00:59:10Stacking up the goose eggs deep under the oklahoma city night.
00:59:14Thomas struck out 19 and cannion 11, as this battle went into the 13th inning, a game that started 30 and toiled past midnight.
00:59:23In the bottom of the 13th inning, it was baylor's holly hall with the magic swing.
00:59:29>> Back to the wall and gone!
00:59:32Holly hall, the walk-off home run, sends baylor to the semifinals!
00:59:38>> We knew it was going to be a battle going in, and you know, they came in fresh today, not having to play.
00:59:47And we were so fired up, even though we had to play that game earlier in the day.
00:59:52But yeah, we knew it was going to be a battle, and that's how the big 12 is, and we just got the -- >> so, baylor was the last big team standing taking on number one ranked and number one overall team arizona state on sunday afternoon.
01:00:14The lady bears brought a total of 14 hours of rest, the sun devils about 40 hours.
01:00:21In the second inning, the two-run homer to right-center left the lady bears to answer.
01:00:30Baylor bowed out 4-0, ending the lady bears' run and the historic run by the big 12 conference in the 2011 college world series.
01:00:38>> It was evident this week, represented the big 12 very well, I felt, and represented baylor in a great way.
01:00:49And I thought we just ran out of gas, personally.
01:00:53The game last night took it out of us.
01:00:57>>> We have more on softball later on in the show, but coming up next, the most recent news on the ncaa track and field championships from des moines, iowa.
01:01:06It's all coming up >>> welcome back to oklahoma city and the women's college world series, where as you can see, the big 12 was very well represented.
01:04:10Baylor, missouri, oklahoma, oklahoma state.
01:04:12You would think this was a g 12 championship.
01:04:15Speaking of national title events where the big 12 was represented, another one was in des moines, iowa, at the ncaa track and field championships on those historic blue lanes at drake stadium.
01:04:26Of course, a&m came in as the two-time defending champ.
01:04:30While there were also many big 12 athletes nationally in their event.
01:04:34Here's what happened.
01:04:39We begin with the 800 meters and just one big 12 runner in the field, and that was oklahoma state freshman natalia palushna, who won the title in this event just a few eks ago.
01:04:52In the first 400 lap of the race, her jersey was a notable fixture in the back of the field, but on the bell lap, she began to meander her way through the lap with oklahoma's ann kesserling leading.
01:05:05And on the final, she made one final break down the straightaway.
01:05:10The official clock put palushn a 01 seconds behind kesserling as she just missed out on the title of one of the championship's most exciting finishes.
01:05:24No close calls in the 3,000-meter steeple cha it was anna coburn carrying the torch.
01:05:32The reigning two-time big 12 champion of the event was run year-up a year ago but took control last weekend and stayed in control.
01:05:40The colorado buffaloes are no stranger to winning this event on a national stage.
01:05:46Jenny barringer won national pros in the event in 2006, '08 and '09, as well as running the steeple for the usa in the beijing olympics.
01:05:55Coburn pretty much had it in cruise control after a few laps
