you today. i'll hand it over to brooke baldwin. >> thank you, randi. hello to all of you. i want to continue right where randi and peter left off, talking about the president's plan. here is a line he used from the rose garden -- it's not class warfare. it's math. that is president obama's message on how to put a dent in our debt. the president today laying out his plan, just a couple of hours ago in the rose garden. at the heart of his message, our nation's wealth nest americans, wealthiest corporations should pay more. he's talking about $3 trillion savings, 1$1.5 trillion generatd on taxes on the wealthiest americans t. it's being called the buffet rule after warren buffett. remember he has been saying he doesn't pay as high of taxes as his secretary. thus millionaires and billionaires should be paying more. here's how the president

explained his plan today. >> we have to prioritize. both parties agree that we need to reduce the deficit by the same amount, $4 trillion. so what choices are we going to make to reach that goal? either we ask the wealthiest americans to pay their fair share in taxes railroor ask seno pay more for medicare. we can't afford to do both. either we gut education and medical research or we've got to reform the tax code so that the most profitable corporations have to give up tax loophole that's other companies don't get. we can't afford to do both. this is not class warfare. it's math. >> so let's take it this a step further. let me explain his reference to class warfare. a lot of top republicans say that's what the president is, they say that asking the wealthiest americans to pay more taxes is just simply unfair. and they reject any tax increase saying it it's bad for our

fragile economy. the president sent his treasury secretary out to sell his plan. the first question he faced? why put forward tax increases the administration knows the gop will reject. here's his response. >> republicans and democrats all agree we have a long-term deficit problem and we have to bring that down to earth. we all agree on the basic magnitude of the cuts over time, roughly $4 trillion over ten years. why $4 trillion? that's what you need to bring the deficit down to a level we can sustain over time, the level where the debt is no longer growing, stabilizes and starts to come down. >> treasury are secretary tim geithner had backup to sell the plan. budget director jack lew, his message is everybody has to sacrifice to get our financial house in order. >> i think that if you look at the details of what's in the plan that the president sent to the congress this morning, there is a lot of pain and it's spread broadly and we think fairly. >> starting to see the pattern here. share the pain, assign the

blame. that task fell to white house press secretary jay carney who reminded report hes that president obama inherited a big mess when he got into office. >> the president spoke and has spoken clearly about the decisions that were taken in the previous administration that took surpluses and turned them into deficits, massive deficits. and they include the two tax cuts. they include an unfund eed medicare prescription drug program, they include two wars put on credit cards. now, we have spent a lot of time in this administration cleaning up the tent, the elephant tent, if you will. and it hasn't always. >> brian: been an easy task that involved tough decisions that had to be done to prevent a great are depression from happening again in the united states.

>> so everyone out today is taking out their positions. here is what is new, the super committee, the bipartisan group of lawmakers trying to come up with a solution to the deficit crisis. their next meeting keep in mind is this thursday. the president says the plan he revealed today is simply meant as a blue prieprint to help me . here to help me out is gloria borger. i watched you earlier, you listened to the president earlier and you heard the president are say he will veto any plan that proposes to cut social security, medicare, if it doesn't include higher taxes on the wenlalthy. is that a real it threat or is it political posturing or political maneuvering? >> can i say all of the above? i think when you make a threat, i cannot p accept cutbacks and entitlements unless they're accompanied by tax increases, i think you better be prepared to do that. so i think he clearly is prepared to do that. on the other hand, it is a

political statement because what he is doing is he's saying to his base, which has been upset with him of late, as you know, that, i'm fighting for you. because this is a president who's been accused of being too passive or negotiating with himself. and so he's doing neither of those today. he's laying down a political marker and that's all it is, a mrit are cal mashlg epolitical this was a perfect world, this is what i'd like to see p happen. you'll notice there are no social security changes in there. the only changes in medicare are to providers, not beneficiaries. so he's kind of left that off the table. i bet it it goes back on. >> also today, the president talked a lot about tax reform, talking about significant tax reform achievement. but check your calendar. it's september. what are the chances of that actually happening this year? it ends in 90 days. >> well, these people have some real deadlines and it's the

super committee we're talking about. forget the president and the rest of the congress. this super committee has a deadline. they're supposed to come up with a plan by thanksgiving and then the congress vote on it by christmas. if they don't vote on it by christmas, you get all of these draconian cut that's take effect because essentially congress cannot do its job. so i think the fact that they have this hanging out there means that they might actually do something. tax reform is a very big deal, but the only way you are going to get everyone to go to the table is to say, look, if you lower the top rate on the wealthiest people in this country but you take away some of their deductions, is that a tax increase or not? so it may come down to being a matter of semantics here, reforming the tax code may end up doing exactly what president are obama wants. >> let's point out the deadline, november 23rd for this

bipartisan super-committee. it's december 23rd for congress. as you mentioned, this it ax is sort of hanging over the head of the super-committee so you do think the pressure is on, they need to accomplish something by that time. >> no doubt the pressure is on. you know, congress has, what, a 14% approval rating? it can't get much lower than that. barack obama knows that he can run against congress, the do-nothing congress, because even though his pop layer arty is in the 40s, he's a lot more popular than congress. the american public wants to get something done, and the president are knows that the polls are on his side, brooke. i mean, our own poll shows that by a two-to-one margin people believe that taxes on higher income americans and corporate america ought to be part of any deficit deal.s will have to take that into account as well. >> if they don't make that

deadline, that's when we talk about those trigger mechanisms. >> see you christmas eve. >> gloria borger, thank you so much. still ahead -- celebrities like robert red ford, leonardo decap row, daryl hannah, they're talking about this it pipeline. coming up, the actress and activist will join me live to discuss this tar sands controversy. plus, a woman is found bound, she is naked, hanging from it this balcony of a millionaire's mansion. police ruled this a suicide, but her family is calling for investigators to reopen the case. coming up next, find out what was written in black paint near her body and what her sister says the woman told her hourz before she died.

got some breaking news. want to go straight to chad myers. earthquake reported in guatemala are. >> yes. not that far from guatemala city. about a 5.8 quake so a little less than what we saw maybe across parts of the u.s., but understand that most of the buildings here are not ready to withstands an earthquake like this. it's only about 25 miles deep, 30, 35 miles away, that doesn't tend to be very far away from the city. that red dot is the earthquake. just south of mexico, this is guatema guatemala, el salvador and honduras, guatemala city. there are already a couple of dots because there's probably already been an aftershock. 5.8, 10, 15 minute s ago. trying to find out if anybody from there is tweeting. so far nothing out of that

capit capital. >> apparently a spokesperson for the president of guatemala says people have been buried in the rubble. to your point, i was in guatemala city a couple of years ago and you're right buildings are not at all up to par. >> right. they're made of brick and stone. when it shakes, it falls apart. a wood structure does much better because the wood flexes. >> strong trem arr aroe ooarors. we'll continue this conversation. chad, thank you very much. let's go it to the west coast now. the family here of a woman who was found dead at her millionaire boyfriend's mansion in california says she would never have killed herself. had her relatives expect foul play even though her death was ruled a suicide. she was found naked bound at her hands and feet. they want the case reopened. police say she killed herself when she found out her

boyfriend's son died when she was babysitting. police say zah ow scribbled this message in black paint near her body. it read, she saved him, can you save her? zahau's sister spoke with abc news today. she said she talked with rebecca hours before the death. everyone she said seemed fine. >> i would like people to remember my sister as a beautiful, loving, caring, kind person and that she would not hurt anybody. anybody. >> even herself? >> even herself. >> her sister also told abc that rebecca had no psychiatric history, never had taken antidepressants before. still ahead, they're called bung ga bung ga parties, sex, escorts and cash. prosecutors say new tape shows how italy's prime minister is

involved in all of it. up next, wait until you hear who is accused of bringing women to silvio berlusconi. and what he said about angela are merkel, quite frankly, it is too vulgar to repeat. that's next.

shocking sexual comments allegedly made by one world leader about another. what italian prime minister silvio berlusconi reportedly said about german chancellor angela merkel is too profane to repeat. but here's what we can tell you. it involves a desirability in relation to her physique. the twist, berlusconi may need merg elle's help to bail italy out of its debt. all of this coming from a man

who's been mired in sex scandal. berlusconi reportedly made his comments during a taped phone conversation with an italian businessman who authorities say spried him with young gills an prostitutes. it was alleged the prime minister was blackmailed over his sexual ask a paids. italy's debts are more than spain, portugal, ireland and greece combined. joining me live from rome, italy, to discuss the berlusconi scandal is the editor for the italian newspaper that published excerpts from the wiretaps. nice to have you here. what do you think from these wiretaps will be the most shocking to the italians? >> well, everything, every detail in those wiretaps will be shocking for the italians.

the unfortunate thing is the italians show an incredible passion and tolerance for mr. berlusconi. naturally, what we call a conflict of interest, mr. berlusconi has been able for 17 years to control at the same time public television, state control television and his private television empire. now, putting together these two things, publishing houses, he created an extreme power of intimidation against anyone that has any chance of writing or speaking publicly. and he commanded a certain degree of silence that is exactly what happened. only now it is becoming so dramatically incredible that

even the illegal power that berlusconi exercise these times cannot hold anymore. >> let me jump in and ask, though, the specific comment your prime minister made with regard to the german chancellor, knowing that italy may very well need germany's help, how do you think the italians will react to that comment? about another world leader. >> well , they will have the impression that right in the middle of a dramatic economic crisis most of my fellow citizen will have the impression that we do not have a government. we do not have a reliable person. we do not have a leader. we do not have a person that knows what he's doing. he's only involved with these jokes, with the idea of being

better, and what can -- i think that the best portrait of this man could be to remember that every country, every population has a bad cliche. the typical bad cliche of italy is to exaggerate, to be too much self-satisfied, to go around say things that never happened, to take pride of things that never were done. well, this is exactly the portrait of silvio berlusconi. unfortunately, he is the prime minister of italy in a very, very delicate moment. >> i see. once the italians were tolerant, perhaps no longer. thank you so much. still ahead, a little more 48 hours from now, a convicted cop killer is scheduled to take his final breath. today a parole board hears a case of troy davis. a decision could come very soon. plus, more of our breaking news out of guatemala, the 5.8 earthquake rocked the area in

and around guatemala city. we're told people felt the tremors, people buried under the rubble. be right back. i'm phil mickelson, pro golfer. if you have painful, swollen joints, i've been in your shoes. one day i'm on p of the world... the next i'm saying... i have this thing called psoriatic arthritis. i had some intense pain. it progressively got worse. my rheumatologist told me about enbrel. i'm surprised how quickly my symptoms have been managed. [ male announcer ] because enbrel suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events

including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, and nervous system and blood disorders have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if, while on enbrel, you experience persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. get back to the things that matter most. good job girls. ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you. ask a paid escapade

all right. let's get a little bhit more on the earthquake hitting guatemala, 5.8 magnitude. you're learning it it's near a volcano. >> right. under the kol der ra of an old volcano. there's a lake in there right now, but this may portend something else. not just the earthquake but maybe there's rumbling in the magna down below the volcano. here's the gulf of mexico, cancun, guatemala city right there. there's already been a couple of aftershocks. on the tweet deck people saying the city is still shaking but remain calm. a 5.8, and it has not gone down. that tells me that's probably a pretty stable number. sometimes the usgs will, not on purpose, say a 6.2 and then reduce it it it to a 5.9 later. this has not been reduced. here is the lake i'm talking about. there's the caldera of the old volcano. this is the volcano belt, all the way up and down the country here. 24 miles down below the surface

and then into squguatemala city. this isn't a giant earthquake for california or anywhere like that, but 5.8 earthquake with buildings of stone and mortar and cement will shake the buildings and bring them down other than a wood structure or slightly insulated building that can take the shaking. very few buildings like that in guatemala city. you know, brooke. you've been there. >> i do know. we're also hearing that there are a number of people buried underneath the rubble. people felt the tremors. i know there are precious mayan ruens not too far away within the country. we're working on getting video in the aftermath of this earthqua earthquake. chad, thank you very much. meantime, barring intervention, the state of georgia will execute a convicted cop killer in two days. take a look at the p room here in atlanta where the state's parole board today is hearing the final appeal of troy davis, found guilty of murdering a savannah police officer back in 1989. supporters of troy davis and

opponents of the death penalty have stainled vigils and publicly signed petitions, hundreds of thousands of them. if parole board members, though, deny clemency, davis will be put to death by lethal injection at 7:00 p.m. eastern time wednesday. >> a second later, the thing crashes right behind me and i get -- all i remember was i'm trying to run, i see stuff coming. then that's the last thing i remember. >> caught on video, here it is, the beginning of the horrifying moment when a plane crashes into a crowd. investigators are are wondering, did a pilot build this plane for speed without giving more thought to safety? we're going to go live to reno, nevada, where a number of people were killed and it's risen. dan simon joining me next.

at the bottom of the hour, in case you're just joining us, we are now reporting on an earthquake that has rumbled

guatemala, specifically the epicenter not far away from guatemala city. and if you have are ever been there, you know the buildings in and around the city and surrounding towns certainly not built to withstand any earthquake, let alone a 5.8 magnitude. there are reports of people buried in rubble, people most definitely felt the tremors of this earthquake. as soon as we get video, more information, we'll bring that to you live here on cnn. a tenth person has now died from injuries received after a world war ii-era plane crashed into that crowd friday at 8 reno, nevada, air race. take a look at the video. tough to look at. the world war ii-era plane cr h crashing into the crowd, killed seven at the scene including 74-year-old pilot jimmy leeward, three others died in the

hospital. nearly 70 people were also injured in that accident. ntsb officials say the downed plane had video and data recording devices on board. that could help them determine the precise cause of the crash. let's bring in dan simon live from reno. dan, what is the latest here on this investigation? >> reporter: well, we know that attention still remains on the tail of that aircraft, the p-51. crews when they canvassed the wreckage scene, they found a piece of the tail, you can see some of the pictures or videos of the plane in flight, you could see a piece break away. there's concern that may have caused the plane to go down. specifically, this is called elevator lift tab. that piece will be sent to the washington, d.c., ntsb lab for analysis. brooke, as you also mentioned, turns out that that plane also had a camera on board facing outward and authorities or investigators found memory cards

at the scene. they're not sure if they actually go with the camera, but nonetheless those cards will be analyzed for further analysis when they're sent to the lab in d.c. as well. the plane also hi guess you coud describe it as a crude form of black box. it took things like oil pressure and rpms and speed. that information was wirelessly transmitted to the flight crew when the plane was p up in the air. that could be useful information as well, brooke. >> dan, in addition to what happened there in reno, you know, there are have been a number of air show accidents recently. in fact, the very next day after the crash there in reno, there was a collision midair during an air show in martinsburg, west virginia, these are images from an ireporter at the scene. a fiery, fiery crash. a stunt pilot died in the saturday crash. no one fortunately was injured on the ground, though. but, dan, given these accidents, what, if anything, can the

federal government do to try to make these shows, make people on the ground watching them, safer? >> reporter: well, you know, it's interesting. the pilots realize there's an inherent danger here. it it's been described as sort of a nascar race in the sky. the pilots clearly know things are dangerous. you've had 19 pilots, now 20 pilots, who have died since 1964, just at these races here in reno. for spectators it's something different. when they come to these races there's an expectation, of course, that they're going to be safe. now that sense of safety has been shattered so the question is, how does the community deal with it? well, people here feel a lot of pride in these races. they've been going on for nearly a half century. it brings a lot of money to the city every year. so i think what's going to happen now is that the city of reno along with the people who hold this race and federal authorities are really going to have to sit down and have sort of an honest, frank discussion about whether or not these should go forward. if it's up to the people here in reno, there will be more races

in the future, but at this point it's just up in the air, so to speak. >> see if it's worth it. dan simon, in reno, thank you so much. robert redford, leonardo dicaprio, daryl hannah, just a couple of names that have spoken against the pipeline that may reach from canada to texas. they are against it. liberal, pro-environment, you get their position here. then you have president obama and secretary of state hillary clinton, they may be for this pipeline if it brings jobs and products to american refineries. i'll explain this controversy. daryl hannah will join me live. then we'll hear from the company that wants to build the pipeline, next. and you...rent from national. because only national lets you choose any car in the aisle...and go. you can even take a full-size or above, and still pay the mid-size price. i'm getting an upgrade.

is.

there is this big battle going on that you might not have heard very much about. it involves jobs, it involves your wallet, the environment, and expanding this pipeline to move crude oil all the way from canada to reare fir canada to reare fefineries on tf coast. this is not your standard crude oil. that's part of the problem, this oil is from canada's tar sands. it is thick, it's sticky, kind of like molasses. pipeline support hes say it will bring tens of thousands of jobs to the u.s. and hundreds of thousands of barrels of cheap oil from a friendly country. meantime, you have opponents and they're saying the pipeline would pose multiple threats to the environment, especially if it leaks into aqua furs that supply drinking water for millions of americans. also protests have been heating up as the state department is getting closer to deciding whether or not to give the okay to build this pipeline. that decision is expected by the end of this year.

i want to take a closer look at the fight from both sides here. but i want to begin with one of the pipeline's more vocal opponents. you saw her in that video a second ago, actress and activist daryl hannah. daryl, nice to have you on. you know, you feel very strongly about this. i know you were willing to be arrest eed over this not long a. give me three reasons why this pipeline should not be built. >> well, there are so many reasons, but amongst the top reasons i would say the ogalala aquafir that provides irrigation water for a third of our nation's farm and ranch larnd. this is supposed to pass right over it. there were 12 spills in 12 months put in last month. bit aman is a very corrosive, very thick form of oil that will be going through these pipelines that needs to be heated up to 150 degrees.

so it's not if it will have a spill, it's when it will have a spill. that's one reason. the second reason is that tar sands is one of the largest industrial, noest destructive environmental disaster on the planet. we don't need to be a part of it and i highly doubt it's actually going to make oil prices cheaper. and it will shackle us essentially to being a slave to fossil fuels for the next however long, i mean, for very long because it's a $13 billion project. so it's incredibly bad news. we need to move towards clean, renewable, safe jobs and safe energy. >> let me jump in just on your point -- you mentioned the bitaman. i know robert redford wrote an oped ed in the houston chronicle and he called this oil the dirtiest stuff on the planet. if you talk to transcanada, which we are about to, and you read their response to the

op-ed, they maintain it's not the most corrosive oil in the world, that they've been doing this for decades, you know, taking canadian oil stands, crewed by pipeline, you mentioned the $13 billion, i'm just giving you their perspective. they said, look, why would we spend this much money for something that wouldn't work? why when you look at the tametable, daryl, we know that the state department could say yes in about 90 days, why protest so late in the game? >> well, first of all, if you look at what happened just to the michigan river, it almost over 500,000 gallons spilled into that river, exxon who is a big owner of this project at the canadian tar sands, they made $67 billion in the first quarter of last year. so they have a vested interest in telling you that it's not dangerous and it works.

but there is -- i mean, it's basically a fact that there were 12 spills in 12 months last year when they put in keystone one. >> i'll have the representative from transcanada most definitely address that. but to the point of all of these protests really sort of ramping p up in august, september where the deadline really is december, why really speak up now? why not before? >> well, i think that, you know, largely this tar sands and the pipeline proposal has been hidden from the american public. this is the first i've ever heard of it being even covered on cnn. it's been something that, you know, is left up sot president. he doesn't need congress to make the decision. we're really hoping to put pressure on president obama to make the right decision and to fulfill his promise to the american people to actually bring change and bring a safe, self-sufficient -- i mean, just before this program there was a program showing there are

earthquakes in guatemala. there was one last night in nepal and india. we are facing a world that has increasingly tempestuous weather conditions, tempestuous planet. we need to create self-sufficiency and security in this country. and that's what clean, renewable and safe energy will do, not something that will ultimately threaten our water resources which are more valuable than oil. >> you know what? i think a lot of americans listening to you probably agree. i i'm going to throw a word out there that perks up americans' ears. jobs. i want to read something in the houston chronicle, the president of the pipeline says this, if approved, the privately funded keystone xl pipeline will immediately put 20,000 americans to work, create an atigsal 118,000 pinoff jobs, inject $20 billion into the u.s. economy and pay more than $5 billion in taxes to local counties over the

lifetime of the project, money that could be used to build roads, hospitals and schools. when you look at those numbers, daryl hannah, that's a lot of jobs. >> well, this is coming from -- >> hang on. let me ask a question. if you tell a family of four that, you know, let's just say the environment is more important than a father or a mother getting back to work, how do you explain that to them? >> okay, first of all, this is coming from transcanada. they obviously have a very large financial interest in making those claims. those claims have been refuted by numerous people who have said they're greatly exaggerated. second of all, if you put $7 billion or $13 billion into clean, renewable, safe jobs, people don't want to be working on pipelines that can blow on oil rigs that can explode and dangerous jobs that are destroying our planet. you don't have -- it's not a choice of whether or not you're

going to have jobs -- either just this job or no job. there's an option. we have options available to us. we already know how to create energy from safe renewable resources and we need to start doing it in this country. we don't need to start being slaves to more $5 a gallon fuel. >> thank you, daryl hannah. this is one side of this. james miller, a spokesman from the company who wants to build this pipeline, transcanada corporation. james, first i want to give you an opportunity in a moment to respond to the specific concerns that we just heard from daryl hannah. but fist let's address the jobs issue. she did bring that up. the numbers in the houston chronicle from your company, the company president said it will immediately put 20,000 americans to work. where did you get those numbers? and, also, can you be more precise? what kinds of jobs are we talking about here? >> brooke, we're talking about 20,000 jobs, as you highlighted,

13,000 of those being construction jobs along the pipeline route and 7,000 manufacturing jobs. so, for example, with the manufacturing jobs, the pipe has already been manufactured by american steelworkers in arkansas. that's one example. and there's many other manufacturing that's needed for this pipeline. we have to build large pumping stations, equipment that runs along the 1,600-mile route. specifically with the construction jobs, keystone phase one has been in operation as ms. hannah pointed out for over a year now and we employed over 10,000 people on that pipeline. that pipeline was not built by ghosts. that pipeline was built by hardworking men and women in the u.s. and keystone xl, if it is approved, will be built by the same hardworking americans. >> let me ask you on the pipeline, one of her concerns she brought p up -- and i jotted it down -- she mentioned 12 spills in 12 months. i know i could find there was a spill in may of 500 barrels. can you just clear up some of

those numbers and also take it a step further, just assure the people if and when this pipeline is built -- here is a graphic of what we could see -- that this won't affect their aqua fers, their water supply. >> as with many comments over the last number of months, it's the selective use of facts. 12 incidents, not one incident happened with the pipeline in the ground. ms. hannah knows that. all of these incidents happened aboveground at our pumping stations, the majority of the oil was confined to transcanada property, and in the majority of the situations the amount of oil that leaked was five to ten gallons. five gallons is three oil changes in a truck are. so let's put some perspective on this. >> to be clear, though, there was, according to one number i found, a 500-barrel spill in may in north dakota. >> that's factually true. that is true. again, that was aboveground, did not involve the pipe in the ground. the oil was confined to our

property except for an oil mist that sprayed into the outlying field. it was cleaned p up quickly. perspective on that, when they say 12 spills, the average american thinks, my god, it's the pipeline in the ground. that has not happened. that is not the truth. >> what about this, james. is there any way you can get this oil to the gulf coast without crossing these aquafers, going this particular route? >> well, here's the interesting thirng about the waaquafer. some states have 15,000 pipelines transporting oil through the walk kwafer. 15,000 miles. one example, the platte pipeline has been operating in nebraska safely since 1952, six decades almost, and it transports 53 million barrels of oil through the aquafer year. keystone will be a state-of-the-art pipeline built with better steel, more

inspections, more automatic safety shutoff valves and a higher level of security as the final environmental impact statement came forward with keystone than any other pipeline. so we're not clear what the issue is here. oil has been transported through that aquafer safely for close to six decades. >> final question to you -- what happens if and when the state department says no? who gets the oil? does it go to china? >> well, we're confident the state department will say yes, and it's based on the fundamental fact that americans have a choice. you can receive stable, secure oil from canada -- and i should add 25% of the oil in keystone will come from u.s.-producing states. so you can take stable, secure oil from are canada or you can choose to import higher priced, conflict oil from regimes that really are not friendly to the united states, such as the middle east, saudi arabia, libya, venezuela. >> but if the state department says no, if they say no, where

does the oil go? >> well, the oil is going to be produced regardless of where keystone goes through. it will either go through the west coast, there's an existing pipeline that transports 150,000 barrels of oil a day to the west coast, another point the environmentalists say is not occurring. and the chinese, they are rabid consumers of oil. one way or another, the oil will be produced, it will go to market. so, again, i think all americans would prefer to receive cheaper oil from canada than higher-priced oil from the middle east and venezuela. >> james millar and daryl han h hannah, i thank both of you for coming on. obviously we'll follow it and see what the state department ultimately decides. my thank s to you, sir. now this -- ♪ >> what is your place right now? >> right now, it's on tour and it's dealing with kind of being a home sick kind of person.

>> it is music monday which means i get to sit down another amazing artist. coming up next an up close and personal look with jason and his band. he tells me how one winter and one heart break changed his life forever. don miss this. also, more on breaking news. a 5.8 magnitude quake, reports of people trapped under the rubble. stay here. build a new app for the sales team in beijing. and convince the c.e.o. his email will find him... wherever he is. i need to see my family while they're still awake.

and started writing songs at 12 or 13 i guess. >> that young? >> but i never developed the voice i'm singing in now until recently. i don't want to separate the past from the present but yeah, it is definitely a vastly different thing with singing, kind of more in the upper register more off then than not. >> winter '06, you get dumped. did she dump you? >> it was kind of dumping on each other. i was staying at my dad's hunting shack and i basically stayed there for three months by myself and started to kind of unravel all this music that had sort of been unable it make its way out. >> so in three months you wrote all nine songs? >> probably six months all in all. considering a couple of months before and a couple of months after, as far as finishing it up but the album was done in this

four or five-month period, yes. >> ultimately you put it on the internet. next thing you know, record companies were calling you. >> yes. >> because of what you put on the internet. >> yes. >> is that wild to you? >> it wild. still, i mean, my life personally hasn't really stopped reverberating from those moments i guess. >> do you think if it wasn't for the internet you probably wouldn't be sitting here? >> probably not. i wouldn't be sitting here, i would be sitting somewhere else thinking about sitting here, maybe. >> so you have for emma and you did pretty well with that. then now you have this new album. instead of opining an what not, you are going in the back door. it is more about the sound but how do you put the words sound? ♪ ♪ >> you make your voice make the sounds.

my blog and check them out. now to jimmy costa with the livy news fresh off the cnn political ticker. jim, what do you have today. >> rick perry, gop front-runner is headed up to new york tomorrow morning. he will have a press conference with jewish leaders up there. obviously all of this is surrounding this big general assembly, u.n. general assembly meeting taking place up in new york all this week. the big issue up there is this subject of the palestinian statehood question and governor perry has been sharply critical of the obama administration taking out an op ed in the washington post accusing the president of distancing himself from israel. rick perry is trying to capitalize on queasiness about the obama administration and we will see more of that tomorrow from rick perry and, hate to make things all about the big apple, but president obama,

brooke, is also heading up to new york this afternoon. he is going to have a fund-raiser in new york city. haen is basically a fund-raising base for the president. it is not a big surprise to see the president going up there. but he is expected to stay in new york until his big speech at the general assembly on wednesday. so a lot of things u.n. this week. a lot of things new york this week. and we're keeping an eye on all of it. >> i know wolf is in new york covering that for us this week. we will check in with wolf later too. jim, thanks very much. another political update ticker for you. for now, take a look at this. for months, one man sat in a gruesome horrifying detail about his wife and two young daughters were murdered in their own home and now he is about to relive that horror all over again. i'm brooke baldwin. the news is now. >> your family was destroyed.

>> william pettit lost his entire family during a nightmare. the one being accused of the crime faces a jury. this is not class warfare. >> and -- new concerns of a plane that crashed in an air show built for speed. survivors are now speaking out. >> welcome back to hour two. i'm brooke baldwin. i want to talk about breaking news we have about this earthquake cent shaking the center of guatemala. 5.8 magnitude, hitting the center about 30 miles south of guatemala city. i have rafael romo sitting next to me and chad myers with the

geography and anna on the phone line. we can talk to her about what it felt like. she was on was on the 11th floor of a building in guatemala. >> we have three fatalities in southeastern guatemala. this is about 32 miles south of where guatemala city is and what officials are telling us is that the earthquake created a mudslide and that's what buried a family so far, only three people. but then again we understand that roads have been damaged and we don't know the extent of the damage that may have happened in the capitol. so at this point we only have preliminary reports. we have one major earthquake. there was another north of there in a city in the border between guatemala and mexico. then the 5.8 magnitude you are talking about. so we don't know which one was the aftershock but definitely two major ones and that part of the world. >> on that point, let's go chad

because i know chad, would that have mean that it would simply be the aftershock, correct? two separate earthquakes? >> they have an earthquake. that's the separate one along the border but there are three earth quakes in the same vicinity. one here that was a forshock and one that was the main shock at 5.8 and then one, the aftershock, that one there at 4.8 again. so the world is still trembling down there. if we get a 6.4, then all of these would be 4 shocks. earthquakes before the main quake. and those are the most dangerous because now the buildings are already damaged if you get a bigger quake after what we have seen, there is significantly more people injured and killed because of the buildings that are actually coming down. these brick baldings. these cinder block structures that have concrete on blocks and literally mortar in between. when the earth shakes, there is

no no insulation. the building is falling in the streets. lunch was over so maybe not as many people were on the street but it was still busy. >> anna stackman is on the phone line calling in from guatemala city. anna, tell me where you were. you are feeling these additional rumblings right now? >> caller: hi, yes. we felt these straks strongly, stronger than they usually are. >> what specifically did it feel like? how bad of a shake? because what what i understand, you are fairly used to earthquakes in that part of the -- in that part of the world. >> yes, they are very common but this one was stronger. especially the beginning. it felt very strong up and down rather than side to side. >> did things fall off the walls? was it a violent shake?

>> it was a very quick up and down shake. i'm not sure how to describe it. >> anna, do me a favor. i know a lot of our viewers haven't been to guatemala city, where the epicenter of this quake was. help us understand how unstable some of the infrastructure is in this part of the world. >> in the city, we're used to this kind of thing. but nothing major really happens. but then in the royal area, some of the construction may cause greater damage. >> are you there alone? are you there with family is is your family okay? is there a sense of panic or is it fairly calm? >> caller: everything is fine. i did get a message from my son's school and everything is fine. >> i like hearing the calm of your voice.

ana stackman, thanks for calling us. chad, do i still have chad over my shoulder? >> sure. >> here is my question to you. rafael mentioned the rain and mudslides, ana seemed fairly calm but might this be calm before something worse could jessica late? >> certainly. when you have three quakes so quickly together, 4.8, 5.8, 4.8, there could be a 6.8 on the way. certainly could be. we wait an hour or two. if nothing else happened then all of of a sudden we know the 5.8 was the main quake. the big quake, 5.8, was there a volcano. there may be something else going on underground other than just the earthquakes from that volcanic lava starts to move around. that can actually jiggle a dormant volcano or in this case, one with water in it. that could cause something differe different. a volcano becoming active because of this quaking.

>> thank you. rural areas outside guatemala city are quite rural. >> you would expect structures to be strong but this is 32 miles south of gaut maila city where you have structures not as strong and also you have a lot of mountains there. it's been raining so those mudslides, it remains to be seen what kind of damage they created. like i said, the reports we are getting is this a family was buried because a mountain came over the structure of the house where they were living. that's the major concern right now for guatemala authorities. >> awe as you point out, those numbers could change. go up, go down, we don't know. just keep us posted. thank you very much. now it is one of the most who rif horrific and brutal crimes. men raid a home, brutally beat a man, rape and kill his wife, jennifer. tie the couple's daughters, haley and makayla to their beds.

in the enmay hem, they drive mrs. pettit to the bank and force her to withdraw cash. who could forget the call the bank called to 911. >> we have lady in the bank right now who says that her husband and children are being held at their house, and the people are in a car outside the bank. she is getting $15,000 to bring out to them. but if the police are told, they will kill the children and husband. her name is jennifer pettit. p-e-t-i-t. she lives at [ bleep ] she says they are being very nice. they have their faces covered. she is petrified. >> now one defendant, staef inhays wab was convicted of 16 charges last year and sentenced to death. today the trial started for the second defendant, joshua and

helen is a columnist at the hartford current newspaper. she has been tweeting everity racing, every development from the courtroom as the trial unfolds, just as she did for the steven hays trial. helen, i've been following every one of your tweets. you start from when the jurors are brought in. from when the suspect comes in in the suit. and hays add disshovelled appearance. what did you hear, what did you hear from the defense? >> it was very similar from the case against steven hays and the trial against steven hays where each defendant is pointing the fing toert other. and today's testimony or opening statements, lawyers, basically said that joshua had no intention of anyone being killed. it was just supposed to be burglary. it was a home invasion that went bad and that was never his intention. >> what about the prosecution? because you only had one tweet with regard to an opening statement there.

did they give much of one. >> very limited opening statement today. basically just laid out a little bit of the case but it was maybe five minutes. >> five minutes. an interesting bit of color, you talk about how the jurors appeared less tormented. can you further explain what you mean by that? >> during the steven hays trial, it was incredibly emotional. mind you, i was sitting in on the jury selection during steven hays trial. and there were many potential jurors who broke down, who were crying, who wanted no part of being on this jury. this time around, people seemed a lot more composed and they seemed ready for what was coming. >> and you also tweeted that it is a very diverse jury. how do you mean by that? >> meaning age, gender, race. it is an incredibly diverse jury. much more diverse, in my opinion, than the steven hays trial. >> you say the defense attorney, one of three, i guess, took

issue with the petit foundation pins. explain what happened. >> jeremiah donovan took issue with the pins. and actually has taken issue with the pins in the past. he mentioned the pins and also called the family supporters, the petit family supporters, the p pepetit pausy, which family members talk issue with. >> was dr. petit there? >> yes. many were sitting in the same seats they sat through during the steven hays trial. you know, dr. petit, his sister, father, mother, jennifer hawk pettit's father and mother. a lot of friends and family. it was a packed seating for that side of the family. >> what about the family of the suspect. i understand they are expected to appear during the trial.

were they there today? >> they are expected to appear and during prelimb preliminary. there was a woman who sat on his side briefly, but she left and we were never able to figure out who she was. >> you tweeted that judge said they expect this case it take no more than three weeks. bottom line, since there are so many similarities, as you point out, helen, what is the biggest different this go-round to you? >> you're right. in a lot of wayes this is a very similar trial as the one for steven hays. last year. the same horrific details of a home invasion gone bad. today we heard from witnesses we heard from during the first trial. the biggest differences right now is we have a very different defendant. unlike steven hays, joshua was very engaged. he was listening, came in with his suit and tie. where steven hays came in disshovelled.

i tweeted during the trial, he off then would not even look up. the other major difference is the defense team and their style. this defense team seems to be more confrontational. when of the first thing donovan said was the pettit passe. >> i recommend for anyone wanting to follow the trial, she is notes from hel, helen, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> joining me living with the youngest player ever to win in ladies professional golf. she is 16-year-old leksy thompson. she is in the building. i'm looking to see if i see her. i see a trophy, i see her. we will talk about her history-making moment. don miss that. also, this -- >> i will veto any bill that changes benefits for those who rely on medicare but does not raise serious revenues by asking the wealthiest americans or biggest corporations to pay

their fair share. >> first president obama reveals his jobs plan which many republicans don't like. today he reveals the debt plan which probably all republicans will hate. the president says el not back down. what this plan means for you, next.

was a singer. her publicist tells us she was introduced to bob hope at a nightclub in new york. he described that meeting as, quote, love at first song. together they adopted four children. deloris hope, widow of famed entertainer bob hope, dead at 102. i can't help but think of her husband's famous line, "thanks for the memories." it is not class warfare, it's math. that is president obama's message today to how to put a dent in our nation's debt. the president laid out his plan this morning from the rose garden and essentially the heart of his message that our nation's wealthiest americans and wealthiest corporations should be paying more. he is calling for $3 trillion in saves. but 1.5 trillion of that would come from new revenue, mostly generated from higher taxes on the wealthiest americans and many top republicans say the president's plan amounts to class warfare. they say that asking the

wealthiest americans to pay more tax says quite simply unfair. chief, white house correspondent, jessica live with me now. jessica, the president was feisty today. how much of this proposal, though, can he pass? >> not likely to pass, brooke. i mean, the president laid out, as you know, $1.5 trillion worth of tax cuts, as you say. speaker boehner just last week said this proposal, whatever goes to the super committee can include absolutely no tax increases. the president said i'm sorry, absolutely no tax increases, so what you have here is a deliberate standoff. the white house cannot be surprised that this proposal will not go far with the super committee. it is a deliberate standoff and far more political than policy. >> let's pick up where you left off. if it is doa, this is entirely political maneuvering, what's the point of the move here? >> well, this is the true values of what the president is trying

to set forward to define himself as he heads into a political campaign. on the one hand these are the values that this is of the democratic party. on the other hand, republicans laid out their values. republican aides i've spoken to says this proposal is, as you say, dead on arrival. what the president is doing is effectively saab say, if they are not moving our way at all, i'm laying out for you who i am as we head into campaign 2012 and define himself as defender in essence of middle class working americans against a republican party that the democrats would like to position as defenders of the wealthy and i think those are the contours of the campaign on the democrat side you will see shaping up moving forward. >> what about that bipartisan super committee. we know they meet thursday. does this plan today that the president outline, does it at all? because you know they have this axe hanging over their head to cut and they have to deadline,

november 23. does this just add pressure for them to get it done? >> well, what they do is separate from what the president proposes. they can take this or leave this. it doesn't affect their decision. they will have pressure on themselves anyway because they will feel pressure of legacy, and expectation on them. and it will be, you know, interesting to see how much they can get done. no one's really sure. the talk in washington is that they do feel a lot of pressure it get something done. the question is, even if the super committee passes something, that's just handful of people can congress, i mean, can it get through the house. can it get through the senate. that's a much bigger known. how the president is threatening to veto something if it gets through house and senate. >> let's talk about that. >> if it doesn't have the right mix. >> go ahead. >> the president said that -- okay the president said that if this gets through the super committee and gets through the

house and senate, but it cuts entitlements without raising taxes, he will veto it. now, he has said that this has to be a balanced mix from the start. but that's a pretty stark threat there because that's heavy lift to get through super committee house and senate and veto threat, wow. you can call this real brinksmanship and a real game of brinksmanship already, brooke. >> jessica, thank you very much for helping us understand what is ahead for everyone. thank you very much, jess, i appreciate it. >> now, do you remember what you were doing when you were 16? i remember being excited about maybe getting keys to a car. but you have someone who has more than keys here. a pro golfer, 16, who says age is just a number. when you hear what she pulled off yesterday, you will agree with me. s brown ] america is facing some tough challenges right now. two of the most important are energy security and economic growth. north america actually has one of the largest oil reserves in the world.

we know troy davis's schedule, 7 p.m. wednesday night. this parole board held or could be currently still holding this hearing today. do we know when they will ultimately decide on davis's fate? >> well, conventional wisdom says sometime today or tomorrow, this is an extraordinary case. anything you have seen this board do in past history is probably out the window right now. we do know that the supporters of troy davis, members of his defense team, they wrapped up their presentation to the board. there are people there speaking about his character. members of his family, clergy, as well as his attorneys, calling on points about evidence that had not been going into the testimony in the court proceedings. this is -- these are things like testimony from people who now say that someone else was the one who pulled the trigger that night, killing that police officer in savannah back in

1989. and the attorney for davis tells me that there were a lot of questions from this board, indicating they've done a lot of homework. there's been a lot of i tension paid to the three members on this board who were not here back in 2008 when this board rejected clemency for davis. they are hoping these three new board members would be engaged, listen together new evidence bringing. that appears to be going on today. but it is so hard it read into what that might mean in terms of the ultimate decision, brooke? >> david, i have to ask about the crowd over your left shoulder. i'm not sure how large it is. are there members of troy davis's family or the police officer he is convicted of shooting and killing back several decades ago? >> well, let's talk about contrast. inside the building right now, a prosecutor's involved with this case are before the board talking about the reason why

troy davis was prosecuted and why he should continue on to his execution. they are also hearing from members of the officer's family. they are inside testifying right now before the board. outside you see supporters of troy davis. they have been going since about dawn this morning. we have been hearing nonstop prayer. personal te testimony. all words of support for troy davis. it has been nonstop since these precedings went on. so, again, a story of contrast here inside the building. people who are arguing that troy davis should be executed, now front and center. they will have the last word before the parole board. people out here continuing their public argument that troy davis should be allowed to live. >> david mattingly, thank you so much. we will check in with you in the coming days as well. next, ceo of met flix saying he

messed up and he is apologizing. felicia live at the stock exchange. what's with the mess-up? >> netflix is separating its dvd and streaming services. you still get dvds by mail and video games but they will call it quickster. the streaming service will maintain the name netflix. two separate web sites, two separate accounts and two separate charges if you want both services. netflix raised prices in july, if you remember, and a lot of customers jump ship. netflix stock has been down about 50% since then. ceo did apologize for how he handled it. he didn't apologize for raising prices however. quote, he says, i need to be extra communicative. this is the key thing i got wrong. in hindsight he said, i slid into arrogance based upon past success. they he said they had to raise prices because streaming is the future. it is what customers want but it

is the future. >> felicia taylor, thank you very much. up next, speaking of seeing movies, or perhaps watching tv, live in los angeles with a recap of big moments and big winners at last night prime time emmys. i was thrilled and i will show my bias here, "modern family", i'm a big fan. >> a lot of people were thrilled. brooke, it was star-studded night in hollywood. one of the big ef moments was emmy night from none other than charlie sheen. this guy always seems to make news. the actor had his share of controversy over the last year. he made a surprise appearance on the emmy stage to hand out the award for lead actor in a comedy, a category which, brooke, by the way, he is nominated for in the past. you may not believe this but sheen was on his best behavior. he told the crowd he wished nothing but the best for the new season of two and a half men.

maybe people in the audience, they clapped, including former co-star, jon cryer, you know, sheen's appearance was bag moment, a huge, huge moment. but not the night's only highlights. some of the big winners were amc's "mad men." took home the best drama series for the fourth year if a row. but the night belonged, to "modern family." abc com any nabbed five awards including best actor and actress as well as best comedy series for the second year in a row. you got to love ed o'neill and the gang. he is such a talent. they are all talented. >> amazing shows. i do have to take you back, since i feel like the last time you and i talked, it was a lot about charlie sheen. i know we have a picture of that image of charlie sheen, i think charlie and ashton, there they are, behind the scenes. to be on the fly on the wall of that conversation. >> i know, you know they kind of kissed and made up.

town haul at rutgers university. you may remember, that's where a gay student took his own life last year after his privacy was violate bid people he thought were friends. so please, join the pledge. share your story, take action, participate, stop bullying and speak up. now to this, this is a case that seems to deeply affect anyone who comes into any sort of contact with them. i'm talking about the brutal murders of jennifer hawk-pettit and her two daughters by two men who invaded their home in connecticut. one of the jurors plans to attend the trial of the second defendant which began today. she calls what happened to the petit family of a perfect storm of evil. i will bring back sunny who is on the case as the case of joshua is beginning. i understand the prosecution was

quick and the defense little bit did-took a little more time explaining their side of the story? >> that's right. i mean, the prosecution really didn't give an opening statement. he explained to the jury that he was going to rely upon the jurors to listen to the evidence and reach the right conclusion. but the defense did give an opening statement, brooke, and it was an intense one. te claim, they played the blame game, and they said, joshua, wheel i intend end to break in and steal from the pettits be we never intended to kill anyone. the defense theory is that steven hayes on death row for the crimes was really the ringleader, the mastermind behind this. he is the one, they claim, that bought the gasoline. set one, they say, lit the house on fire. he is the one that was intent on killing people that day. so a really, really different strategy, i think, than anyone

expected. because in the hayes trial joshua was painted as the ringleader. >> right. it was just the reverse. i know you covered the trial that steven hayes in con theks with home invasion and murders and although the two men are charged with the same crimes they are two very, very different men. are they not? >> they really are. i mean we are talking about steven hayes, he was really portrayed as someone that wasn't very smart. who didn't have a work history. just really someone on the outskirts of society. joshua on the other hand, the defense told us today, was working. was working in construction. had custody of his little daughter. a very, very different type of man. by all accounts, he grew up in cheshire, connecticut. affluent family. he was adopted by this family. and really seemed to be a part of the fabric of this community. so two very, very different men. and again, we're seeing

something that i don't think any of white house reported about the first case expected joshua, never intended to kill anyone. so says the defense. >> i know i've read that some members of his familiar little be attending the trial bp but what about dr. pettit? was he there? was he there wearing his, you know, pettit foundation pin? >> he sure was. and you remember, brooke, he was there every single day of the hayes ial. listening to the details of the terrible tragedy that fell upon his family. his entire family was there. sister, jennifer hawk-pettit. his late wife's family was there. he was seated in the same exact place he was seated during the hayes trial. he looked forward at the judge. looked at the jurors but when pictures hifs of his wife were
