tonight, the president's jobs plan. how is he paying? taxes. >> i have a lower tax rate than anybody in my office. >> some very rich and very powerful guys are on his side. but republicans? >> well, that's class warfare. class warfare. >> mr. obama unveils the details on monday. then, the maid and the money man. finally, he's talking. >> translator: i'm afraid. i was very afraid. >> and tonight, the maid's response on cnn. then, under attack. a cnn crew caught in the crossfire. there's an extraordinary twist to this story. plus, falling from the sky. two fatal air show crashes in one weekend. what caused the deaths of ten people. pilot error or mechanical failure? we investigate.

>> you're in the cnn newsroom. i'm don lemon. we begin with this tonight. president obama has wanted tax increases to help the economy all along, but republicans resisted. now mr. obama is going back tat to help pay for his new jobs plan. and come monday morning, you are going to be hearing all about it when he announces details of the so-called buffett rule, named after one of the richest men in the world, warren buffett. it's a tax on millionaires to make sure they don't pay a smaller percentage than the nation's middle class. as our chief political correspondent candy crowley reports, there's already an uproar in washington. >> reporter: the president's plan to pay for his jobs program includes the idea of a millionaire minimum tax rate. at least as high as middle class rates. the administration calls it the buffett rule for billionaire investor warren buffett. >> i have a lower tax rate, counting payroll taxes, than anybody in my office. >> reporter: it's a catchy moniker designed to help sell an idea, a plan that is populist at

its core, although republicans call it something else entirely. >> when you pick one area of the economy and say we're going to tax those people because most people are not those people, that's class warfare. >> class warfare will simply divide this country more, will attack job creators, divide people and it doesn't grow the economy. >> reporter: opposition to tax rates for the wealthy on a par with middle class rates is tricky politics. it sounds completely sane and only fair. certainly when put in the hands of a master politician. >> if you look at the group that has had the biggest income increases and the benefit of most of the tax cuts of the previous eight years before the obama administration took office, those of us in that income group were in the best position to make a contribution to changing the debt structure of the country. >> reporter: republicans say they are all for tax fairness, but as part of a major overhaul of the tax system that closes

loopholes and lowers rates for everyone. they have a friend in democratic budgeteer alice rivlin. >> i am fond of warren buffett. his basic opposition that he pays too little taxes is right. the way to fix the tax code is to fix the tax code, not to add another complications. >> reporter: the gop also insists there are plenty of places the rich can pony up, particularly when it comes to a republican pet project. medicare and social security reform. take a memo from mr. buffett. >> with regard to his tax rate, if he's feeling guilty, he should send in a check. but we don't want to stagnate this economy by raising taxes. >> reporter: given the republican house speaker's consistent opposition to tax hikes, the buffett rule looks like a no-go. republicans suspect that's just what the president had in mind. >> i wonder if john boehner knows what it sounds like when he continues to say the position of the republican party in america is that you can't impose one more penny in taxes on the wealthiest people.

i wonder if he understands how that sounds in ohio to working families who are struggling paycheck to paycheck. >> reporter: what looks doa on capitol hill may have many lives on the campaign trail. candy crowley, cnn, washington. what's behind the president's proposal to tax millionaires, and will it fly on capitol hill? those are some of the questions i'll ask cnn contributor errol lewis later on this hour. the piece of a sunday service shattered at a lakeland, florida, church. a gunman opens fire hitting both the pastor and associate pastor. 57-year-old jeremiah fogel is in custody after the shooting at the greater faith christian church. parishioners tackled him and held him there until officers arrived. fogel is also accused of killing his wife at their nearby home before going to the church. affiliate bay news 9 is reporting that associate pastor karl stewart is in critical condition, but pastor william boss's gunshot wound is not considered life threatening. a racing boat's engine

explodes on mission bay in san diego causing a spectacular crash. witnesses tell our affiliate kgtv the drag boat was going between 150 and 175 miles per hour when the engine blew up and broke apart. it happened during a qualifying heat for the drag boat race. the 50-year-old driver mark porter was hospitalized and is in fair condition. he was in the boato capsule section which was thrown 15 feet into the air. the capsule is designed to break away to protect the driver. we're tracking new developments in the investigation of that deadly plane crash friday at the reno, nevada, air race. and tonight for the first time, we're hearing from one of the people in the crowd who survived that deadly crash. well, it turns out the plane contained equipment that may help determine what caused the disaster, including a camera and data recorder. several memory cards have also been recovered and all of the material will be sent to the ntsb lab in washington for analysis. nine people, including the pilot, died when the world war

ii-era p-51 plunged into the grandstand. almost 70 people were injured. one of them spoke to reporters today at the hospital. >> the thing crashes right behind me and i get -- all i remember was i'm trying to run is i see stuff coming. and then that's the last thing i remember. it just makes you appreciate to be alive. and that's the first thing i can say. i got extremely lucky. >> we should tell you several pieces of the plane's tail have also been recovered. photos taken before the crash appear to show a critical piece called the elevator trim tab was either damaged or missing. another plane crash is under investigation this weekend. this one in west virginia. it happened at an air show in martinsburg. a pilot of the t-28 had just completed an aerobatic demonstration when the plane dove to the ground.

investigators are talking to witnesses now. in his first interview since charges of sexual assault were dropped, dominique strauss-kahn says the only thing he's guilty of is moral weakness. the former head of the international monetary fund broke his silence to french television, a station there today, saying his relationship with a new york hotel maid was, quote, an error, a mistake. but he denies any sexual assault took place. >> translator: what happened? what happened was neither violence nor constraint included in this, nor aggression. nor any act, any illicit act. that is what the prosecutor has said. what happened was not only an inappropriate relationship. more than that, an error. a mistake. a mistake concerning my wife, my

children, my friends, but also a mistake. the french people placed their hope for change in me. >> strauss-kahn said he doesn't intend to negotiate any kind of settlement with his accuser who has now filed a civil lawsuit against him. earlier i spoke with the accuser's attorney douglas wigdore. >> we look forward to asking him the questions and hearing the answers. we were waiting for an explanation of what happened on the day in question on may 14th. we didn't hear anything about it. and so mr. strauss-kahn is going to come to our office. he's going to see mr. thompson and myself, and we look forward to asking him questions under oath, and hearing his responses. >> strauss-kahn denies any sexual assault took place against your client saying only that he has a -- or had a moral weakness. what's your reaction to that? >> well, i think that's just the tip of the iceberg. a moral weakness. he sexually assaulted miss

dialla. that is a fact. the medical records corroborate that fact. she has been consistent in her story from day one. and the fact is that he was interviewed by someone who was a friend of his wife. miss dialo was interviewed by a team of investigative reporters and a reputable journalist. and she answered all the questions that were put to her about the day in question. mr. strauss-kahn didn't answer any questions about what happened. >> he said today that there was neither material proof nor any credible evidence of an assault, that an assault took place in the new york hotel room. is he right, and how do you plan to win a civil case against him? >> well, that's just wrong. the medical records themselves show that miss dialo had bruising to her vaginal area. it shows she had a rip to her shoulder. her stockings were ripped. she immediately outcried to a number of witnesses who will corroborate the story that she's been giving from day one.

and her story is -- as the american people and the world saw, it's extremely credible. we have still not heard what mr. strauss-kahn has said happened in that room. how did he -- what did he do in the nine minutes that this occurred? we're gairwaiting for that. we had hoped this would happen toorksd but it didn't. >> a judge has given strauss-kahn's attorneys until december 26th to respond to dialo's complaint. a firefight in libya, and you're right in the middle of it along with a cnn crew. the graphic video is just two minutes ahead. a family tortured and murdered. one of the killers already sentenced to death. monday morning, the trial of the second suspect begins.

shooting wildly. they come under fire. an ambulance is hit by a rocket-propelled grenade. they and we are caught in the open. [ gunfire ]

it started by taking a pot shot at something off in the distance. a lot of fighters opened up and then there was some big return fire. cnn producer ian lee was hit. >> i've been shot. >> you're all right, man. >> down, down, down. get him down. that's good. >> go, go, go. >> get down. go to the right side of everything. go, go. >> we stop to check ian's injury. it looks like there's still a

front line. we are joking that ambulance, we are coming here. suddenly he came to us. he has died. >> this medic was there, too. he saw his friend die. but he must keep working. casualties keep coming. on this day alone, more than 20 revolutionary fighters are killed in the chaotic battle for sirte. phil black, cnn, sirte, libya. also overseas in iran, it's going to be at least a few more days before two american hikers are freed from prison. an attorney for josh fattal and shane bauer says a judge must sign papertwork free the two is on vacation until tuesday. meanwhile, a delegation of american muslim and christian leaders asked iran's president to release the hikers.

president ahmadinejad said recently the pair would be released in a couple of days. the two americans had been held for more than two years on spying charges after being arrested while hiking along the iran/iraq border. in less than 24 hours, a five-person panel decides whether a georgia death row inmate will be executed on wednesday or granted clemency. a look ahead at tomorrow's hearing, next.

troy davis knows the exact moment that he is supposed to die. and it's getting closer by the minute now unless a georgia state parole board takes action. on monday morning, the five-member panel will hear davis' request for clemency.

he's scheduled to be put to death on wednesday. the execution has already been postponed three times to reconsider evidence. well, davis maintains his innocence and seven of nine witnesses in his case later recanted their testimony. now, well, he's the focus of a large-scale international campaign to save his life. so cnn's david mattingly is following this story. he's going to be at that clemency hearing tomorrow. david, tell us about the people who will be deciding davis' fate. >> the state of georgia puts all the authority in clemency cases with this five-member board. and these five people literally have the power of life and death in this case. as they do in all death row cases. they'll be looking at the evidence that's been piled up in this case. but this isn't the first time it's come across this board. they denied him clemency once before in 2008. they also delayed his execution once before. they are very familiar with this case. there's going to be very little new that's going to be coming

before them. and people are wondering now, there are three new members on this board that were not part of that board in 2008. people are wondering now, will all this ground swell of public support somehow have an effect on this board? will these three members be the three votes they need to make sure that troy davis maybe this time gets clemency and gets off of death row? >> and am i correct that every person on this board, conservative, was put there -- appointed by conservative governors, right? >> that's right. they all have. a lot of attention is being focused on the three new members, but they do all come from law enforcement backgrounds. or justice backgrounds. one is the former head of the state corrections department. one is the former head of the juvenile justice department. one is a state legislator who was very close to the department of corrections and all the legislation that affected them. >> this one is albert murray.

you said appointed by republican governor sonny perdue as well. who is the next one? so we'll keep going. this one, same thing. so you get the picture. the question is, in the past, when they have had to deal with these -- with similar situations, how would they -- what has been the outcome? >> more than the last 30 years, they've looked at 63 death row cases, and that's their job. they look at this to decide if the person should go on with their execution. they've looked at 63 of these people scheduled to be executed. and 54 cases they've denied clemency, including one already for troy davis. but something really important to look at here. of all the cases that they've denied clemency in, every time they've gone back to look at it again, they have not changed their mind. so this is an extraordinary case. and if they go back on that previous decision one more extraordinary thing about it. >> all right. david mattmattingly, thank you

much. david will be there on monday. make sure you stay tuned for that. president obama set to unveil a plan to raise taxes on the very wealthy. and no surprise, republicans aren't happy about it. can the president get what he wants this time from a defiant opposition? my insides? pure platinum.

wealthy pay the same percentage in taxes as the middle class. as you can imagine, it's already stirring debate, but it won't be unveiled until monday morning when president obama reveals his debt reduction plan. so let's bring in errol lewis, cnn contributor and political anchor for new york one. okay. debate is already stirring in washington. everyone is worked up about this millionaires tax. what are the odds that it ever becomes law? >> i think the odds are pretty good it will be debated. the reality is, as a legislative matter, the president already knows that the opposition, the republicans in congress, have said that they're not going to even consider it. so it will be tough to see how he even gets it passed if the house won't introduce it or seriously debate it. on the other hand, the president has a great issue to take on the campaign trail and ask people to call their members of congress. between 65% and 80% of the public wants to see a closing of

tax loopholes and more taxes on the very wealthy. so he's going to side with the public, whether or not that gets the public to put enough pressure on congress for them to act, remains to be seen. >> this -- does this sound like the deficit -- the debt ceiling talk all over again. that debate all over again. >> this is actually a little bit harder for the president, to tell you the truth. everybody understands income. the deficit is a real abstraction. but everybody -- not only do people understand income and taxes. in the back of almost everyone's head, i don't know about you, don, but i plan to be one of the wealthiest americans some day. i think most people feel that way and there's this kind of identification with the very wealthy because most people think that if they buy the right lotto ticket or work a little hardero get a couple of lucky breaks they'll be there, too. i think the president will find it hard to take that soft poll number where most say, yeah, we ought to tax the rich more and turn it into a heartfelt

opposition to letting the wealthy go on paying the rate that they pay. >> i think everyone would like to make more than a million dollars a year but the odds of that happening is probably the same odds for most people as winning the lottery. so, i mean, that's kind of a pipe dream. >> and yet, they'll all be lined up when you are trying to buy some gum tomorrow. everybody will be lined up buying lotto tickets, right? >> okay. yes. is there some political strategy at work here that most of us may not be aware of? >> well, absolutely. look. the reality is he's playing deficit politics. and that plays very, very well with independents. they tend to be fiscally conservative. while we're talking about income, the rest of the package includes some big-ticket items. it includes a trillion dollars that he think he's can shave off the deficit. a trillion dollars just from winding down the conflict in afghanistan and iraq. that's going to find a lot of support from his progressive and leftive base. it will probably play well with independents as well. they want to see the government spend less.

so is he playing politics? absolutely he is. >> absolutely. and look for more politics tomorrow after he announces it. errol lou ithank you very much. coming up here on cnn, a murder trial begins monday for the second person charged in a case that horrified the nation. it all started as a home invasion in connecticut. ruck that has it all. ♪ gue thameans youan dit all. it's thevseason of doing now combine the all-star editn discount with oer offers for a tal value of $6,000. or quifieduys can get 0% apr for 60 mont plus $1,000 llan ll sileradmols. get to your evy aler and ghat truck today

rude behavior and urging them to mind their manners. pull up your pants. no one wants to see your underwear says one. others read clean up after your horse and pay attention while walking. the signs aren't official but they look like the real thing. they are the work of graphic artist jason chelowitz. jason, you know, it's pretty gutsy of you to be doing this. you've been posting signs in manhattan telling people not to flick their cigarette butts and pull up their saggy pants. what prompted you to do this psa campaign on etiquette? >> well, it spun off of the project i did last summer. the subway etiquette posters that got such a good, positive response. so i did one other project like it about cleaning up after your dog and supplying the public with disposal bags for them to use. there were only three of those, but they were massive handpainted posters. also got a really good response. so, in between iwas working on

lots of other projects, but i thought it was time for another public service announcement and this seemed like the natural progression. >> what have people been saying to you or what's -- what's been the response, first of all, to this etiquette campaign? >> the response is great. people -- people love it. i mean ifeel like i'm saying things a lot of people are already thinking. so because of that, the response is really positive. >> i have told people to pull their pants up before, and they basically tell me to mind my own business. so have you gotten that response from anybody? >> yeah, a little bit. not to my face but in comments sections of websites i've seen that. and that's true. look. i'm just making fun of it, really. when i was a teenager, i look at pictures of myself and some of the things i wore. it's ridiculous. it's really not that serious. i know in some cities they've launched bans. i think people should wear whatever they want, whatever makes them happy. it's their right. it's also my right to make fun of them if they look silly to

me. i guarantee you when they are a little older they'll look back at themselves and say, wow, showing my underwear and entire rear end when i was walking down the street. they'll move on. it's just the style. but it's certainly funny to me and a lot of other people. people should wear whatever they want and i really could care less. it's just kind of poking fun at you if you dress like that. that's my right as well. >> you think it's silly, but they can wear whatever they want. >> sure. i'm nobody to tell people what to do. >> do you think there's going to be a permanent impact? >> we'll have to wait and see. i really can't tell yet. the only impact i'm seeing that i think will be lasting is just that people are smiling. sometimes laughing. and enjoying them overall, which if that's what i leave behind with this project, that's good enough for me. >> have you heard any official word from anybody in the city or anybody in government about the campaign? >> no. lucky for me, i think they have bigger fish to fry. there's only 80 of these signs

up around. they are all up. so, you know, they'd be lucky if they even saw one. i'd have to tell you where to find them. there's so few. it's such a big city. not enough to cause a problem. if there were thousands, i'm sure they'd be coming after me. a few of them have already gotten stolen, which is fine. i think people should take them if you want. if you want one, take it. >> shelowitz got a huge response from the public all over the world. people are still contacting him. he made enough money selling subway etiquette posters to pay for the ongoing etiquette campaign. we have this just in. affiliates say two people have been stabbed on an air force base outside of phoenix. luke air base -- air force base in glendale. it's not clear if the victims are civilians or members of the military. again, affiliates say two people have been stabbed on the property of luke air force base in arizona. nfl fans now have to endure
