have a great weekend. you're live in the cnn newsroom where the news unfolds on this saturday, october 8th. i'm kyra phillips in for fredricka whitfield. happening right now, day 22 of the "occupy wall street" protest and the movement is spreading. rallies have been held in a dozen cities across the country. they're demonstrating again a number of things including income disparities and corporate greed. republican presidential candidate rick perry backing away from a controversial remark by a supporter. robert is a prominent pastor in dallas. he introduced perry yesterday at the value voters summit, a conservative gathering in washington. speaking with reporters afterwards jeffers said republicans shouldn't stroet for him because he's mormon and he

called mormons a cult. romney, while not addressing yesterday's controversy, directly told the gathering, quote, poisonous language does not advance our cause, unquote. we have a live interview with pastor robert jeffers in a minute. legendary coach, commissioner and owner al davis died. over the years his oakland raiders won countless championships including three super bowls, and who can forget that saying, just win, baby. goodell says his impact and legacy will forever be part of the nfl. al davis was 82. two days after his death steve jobs was laid to rest in a private funeral. services were held yesterday at an unnamed location. the source says that the funeral was a small, family affair. he died wednesday in california from pancreatic cancer.

now, back to that controversy that's overshadowing the values voters summit in washington. prominent baptist pastor robert jeffers who backs republican rick perry told reporters at the event that mitt romney shouldn't be the gop nominee because he's mormon, which the the pastor says is a cult. jeffers stood by those comments later during an interview with our political correspondent, jim acosta. >> the southern baptist convention, which is the largest protestant denomination in the world has labeled mormonism as a cult. i think mitt romney is a good moral man. i think we should prefer a competent christian to a competent -- to a competent non-christian like mitt romney. >> well, pastor robert jeffers joins me live from washington. did rick perry know what you were going to say when you introduced him? >> no, not at all.

neither he nor his advance team had any indication of what i was going to say in the introduction. by the way, in my introduction, as you accurately noted, i did not say anything about cults or mormonism or didn't mention mitt romney by name. all this came about as a result of reporters' questions after the introduction, in which one reporter asked me why i personally wouldn't vote for a mormon, and that set this off. >> why did you decide to bring this up now and bring up the issue of mormonism and the fact you believe it was a cult? it was debated and discussed in 2008. >> i'm not the one that brought it up. a reporter asked me, and you know, my primary role is not of a politician or a pundit. i'm a pastor, and when somebody asks me a theological question about mormonism, i have a responsibility to tell the truth. this is no surprise, as you said. i'm not a jeremiah wright on the fringe making fanatical

statements. it's never considered part of christianity. i believe mitt romney is a good, moral man. if it's a choice between mitt romney and the general election and barack obama i will vote for mitt romney. >> pastor, i understand you say you responded to reporters, but you introduced rick perry. he's running for president of united states. you're a supporter of his, and we asked perry what he thought about what you said. this is what he told our reporters right after. >> reporter: have you associated yourself with the comments? >> i answered your question. no, i don't think it is. thank you all. >> here's a man that you support. he's saying right there to reporters he doesn't agree with what you said with regard to mormonism being a cult. so does this change your mind about him and how you feel about him? >> oh, not at all. listen, there are plenty of reasons. i believe conservative evangelicals ought to vote for

rick perry over mitt romney and mormonism is just one issue for evangelical christians. i think an equal issue is going to be governor romney's lack of consistency on core issues those of us that are evangelicals like the abortion issue. i think many conservatives are suspect of his flip flopping on the issue, and because of that they have grave doubts about his suitability to the the conservative candidate for president. >> romney, as you know, is a very successful businessman, since we're talking about issues now. he's a ceo of a successful company in addition to running a state. many people believe he'd be a very competent chief executive to run this nation in brutal economic times. are you suggesting that religious beliefs should trump competence to be president? >> yes. to religious people, religion matters. i'm a pastor speaking to a group of conservative evangelicals. i said in my introduction of governor perry, i tout his

economic platform and his success in texas, but what i care about most as a christian is his stance on bib lickal issues. governor perry has a strong, long track record of being consistent. for example, he signed the texas sonogram bill and defunded planned parenthood. >> understand, we know you support rick perry, but what does religion have to do with being a competent president, and i'm talking about what you said about mitt romney? >> john jay was the first chief justice of the united states supreme court, the author of federalist papers, and he said, quote, we have a duty and a privilege as christians to select and prefer christians as our leaders. i hardly think john jay was a bigoted person. the fact is those of us that are evangelicals have every right to prefer and select a competent christian over a competent non-christian. it's not the only issue. it's certainly one issue that we

evangelicals consider. >> let me throw something back at you, then. let's talk about article 6, paragraph 3 of the constitution that says there's no religious test to be president. are you going against the constitution? >> kyra, that is an outrageous statement. that refers to government can't impose a litmus test. as individual citizens we have ever right to phave that. you can show preference without being a bigot and without inviting the constitution. the most simple constitutional student knows article 6 applies to government imposes no test. it has nothing to say about individuals having their own test. >> finally, are you concerned about creating a split among the gop candidates with your statements? >> all i've done is highlight what's always been there, will continue to be an issue.

i believe we need to be able to talk about the issue of faith in a sane way. the fact is this will continue to be an issue, and this idea that religion is private and it shouldn't be an issue and has nothing to do with the election is ridiculous. our religion is the essence of who we are. it has great impact on how we govern and the other choices we make. this is going to be a continuing discussion whether politicians like it or not. >> oh, i indeed think it will. pastor, thank you for your time this afternoon. >> thank you. >> you bet. >> mitt romney did not directly address the comments during his appearance today, but he did criticize another speaker who in the past has claimed that mormons and muslims do not deserve first amendment protections because they have a different definition of who christ is. >> our values are noble as a citizen, and they strengthen the nation. we should remember that decency and civility is important, too.

this language doesn't advance our cause. it's never softening a single heart. the blessings of faith carry the responsibilities of civil and respectful debate. the tafshg before us is to focus on the conservative beliefs and the values that unite it. let no agenda narrow or vision or drive us apart. >> candidates at the value voters summit hope to win the event straw poll. results are expected in less than an hour. we'll bring them to you as soon as they're announced.

bloomberg isn't a fan of the "occupy wall street" protest. in a radio interview he says the movement is out to destroy jobs of the working people in the financial district. the protest is marking day 22. it spread to more than a dozen other cities and shows no sign of letting up. back in the epicenter the group is planning a march in new york city today voicing anger for unemployment and greed. >> that's all we're here to do is express the from us trags. we're not here to solve the problems. we're here to make people deal with the problems that are supposed to deal with them. the more people rise up the more they're forced to deal with the problem. the track "occupy wall street" and to contribute our own angle visit cnn.com/openstory. it's a new way to get involved and share your voice.

this is open enrollment season at many workplaces, the time of year when employers can make changes or employees can rather make changes to their health plans. eric joins us once again from dallas. eric, good to see you. let's talk about what makes a good health care plan? >> you have to look at the fundamentals of a good health care plan. first of all, make sure you look at benefits of your medical, your dental, your vision. you want to make sure you understand the benefits of those, what kind of co-pays you have and deductibles before you sign up. it's a very, very serious process. you want to look at cost analysis and make sure what you pay for your health care is what you want. health care is very expensive and you want to sit down with your family and make sure you afford it. >> why does it cost so much? >> that's a great question. a lot of people ask that question. there's several variables going on. modern medicine is expensive right now. we want to get into the doctor's office faster, we want better care but that costs money. it costs money to do that. also, more americans are sick

right now. what i mean by that as far as people have diabetes, more heart disease. i mean, you have a lot of things going on with that, and it costs more as well. finally our demand as far as the economy is growing, and we have about 300 million people in the united states, somewhere in there. more people -- people are living longer, and that puts more pressure on health care overall. >> you know something that we've covered a lot here at cnn, and that's medical bills with numerous mistakes. i can't tell you how many times even a lot of us here have experienced that. what is your best advice to how types of treatments that you're getting. you want to make sure that, okay, if iet a bill in the ged bill. yo adngproperly, ter, any idea who isin the

poll? >> reporter: now. you got to think this is a crowd for texas governor rick perry, former pennsylvania senator rick santorum. the social conservatives in the presidential race, that's who turned out today. there's over 3,000 activists participating today. rick perry has been on a slide lately, but this is his audience. he gave a forceful speech yesterday. he's unapologetic christian. a good showing in the straw poll today could give him momentum after a shaking few weeks there. >> talk about shaky, as we know. last night the controversy at

the the summit when the pastor who had just introduced rick perry called mormonism a cult. those remarks appear to be directed at mitt romney, who is a mormon. romney hadn't said anything as of last hour. anything since we last spoke? >> reporter: he did not directly address this. these comments from the pastor were directed at mitt romney. you know, today, mitt romney gave a speech. he did not address it, as you said, but a former education secretary bill bennett, talk show host did address it, and then romney gave him a pat on the back. take a listen to this. >> remember george washington, his mannelly advice to us to s despise all forms of bigotry.

we should approximagive it to s. let's follow him. >> speaking of hitting it out of the park, how about that bill bennett? isn't he something else? >> reporter: so, you know, there you have mitt romney. romney sort of obliquely addressed it. obviously, he doesn't want the conversation to be about his mormon faith. he wants to kyleep the focus on jobs. he want gave him a pat on the back to defend him after that suggestion from the pastor yesterday. >> you know bill bennett will say something and understand hold back thank you so much. governor perry is on the campaign trail in iowa. he didn't address the controversy. listen to what he had to say a short time ago. >> i'm reminded almost daily that the pundits don't choose presidents, iowans choose

presidents. iowa voters are not always looking for the most polished candidate. they're looking for somebody that's authentic, somebody that will look them in the eye and tell them what the challenges are and give them a picture for the future, a vision of where this country needs to go. from my perspective a very positive vision of where this country can go. checking top stories now. monday is the new deadline to reach a labor deal between nba players and owners. if there isn't one commissioner david stern will cancel the first two weeks of the season. he also said the entire season could be in jeopardy. the issue is how to split the profits between the owners and the players. someone's got to stop her from going through with this fight. >> the fight between 20th century fox and the producers of

say they still have no leads to go on as to why she is missing and where that little girl might be. all of this kind of clouded by the situation resolving around her parents who came out a few days ago and police here said they had stopped cooperating. lisa irwin's parents say they are talking to them. the kansas city police say they have opened up communications again with lisa irwin's parents but no meetings or anything else have been scheduled so far. the search continues. you mentioned that the fbi search going on. as i mentioned, all of this kinld of clouded by the fact that all of this swirling around her parents. in a morning show interview, lisa irwin's mom mentioned police told her she had failed a polygraph test. she came out and admit that had in an interview, and now she says despite all of this, we've talked to other family members, despite all of that they're standing by her and supporting her. we asked a relative in

particular last night in front of the home if they believed her. >> absolutely. there's zero, zero doubt in deborah. you know, i don't want to go into it too much, but the police are doing their job, you know. if you don't have any other suspects, than the one person there that night, the last person to see her, you know, who do you point your finger at? >> reporter: so that search continues. yesterday afternoon you mentioned that the fbi was searching a landfill. that didn't turn up anything. later in the afternoon fbi teams sxoer police officers returned to the scene. they searched with metal detectors this wooded area behind the home. there's a creek that runs through it. they spent several hours going through that. so far there's no leads in it case, almost five days little lisa irwin has been missing. >> what's the deal with the family, are they cooperating with police or not? >> reporter: basically the bottom line is that the family

is no longer staying at the home. they've got out of this neighborhood. any say that they were bombarded in endless questioning by authorities on thursday, and that's when they said they couldn't take that anymore. that's kind of when the communications broke down. that one relative we spoke to last night xhaukchalked it up t miscommunication between police officers, investigators and this family. however, police are still saying there hasn't been a whole lot of talking going on between them and these parents here in the last two days. however, the family says they're open to doing that, but it sounds like they're trying to change the atmosphere or the way those communications are handled. a lot of this still kind of playing out as the search continues for lisa irwin. >> ed lavandera, appreciate it. george clooney is back and doing double duty in the political thriller "the ides of march." one i reporters sent endorse

i a plane trip from california to hawaii turned into an emergency. the pilot of a small plane had to ditch it in the pacific ocean

on friday. the coast guard rescued the pilot, 65 years old by the way. he had radioed in saying he was in trouble. he was taken to the hospital for observation. he appears to be okay. so far authorities are not releasing his name. it's pretty amazing pictures and the fact that -- that's his rescue that was captured there. >> really running out of fuel, not a great thing, but when you call the coast guard and you say, hey, i'm not going to make it. come and get me. on that kind of plane, it's a cessna plane, you lose the engine you have control of everything else. >> your husband is a pilot. you know these things. he knows how important it is to have water survival too as a pilot. no matter what you fly, you should know how to sur vai the waters and egress from the aircraft and hang in until the coast guard comes in. >> kind of sully sullenberger the way he was so flat. when you look at that, nice and smooth. he glided it right nu. the plane did sink, but he got out safely.

that's great. let's talk about the country in terms of weather. we have two huge weather headlines today. we're watching the mid-section with a stalled out front here and heavy rain along with it. we're watching an area of disturbed weather across the state of florida. too much in a short period of time is the big story on both of these. we'll go into texas where we've seen as much as 3 to 35 in5 incf rainfall already, and flash flooding is a concern. there is a flood watch in effect. can you believe it where the drought has been so terrible. it's the driest 12-month period in midland, texas. you had 2.22 inches of rain in the last year. today we could double that, believe it or not. getting all that rain at one time, and with the ground so dry and cracked it's going to run off. we expect another round of showers and thundershowers to move in late tonight and continue into tomorrow. look at this forecast for a 48-hour period. you get into that gold area talking about two-plus inches. you get into purple and you talk

about the potential of six or more inches of rainfall. certainly putting a dent in the drought, but i don't think this is a drought buster altogether. another place with a lot rain is florida. we have a big cluster of showers and thunderstorms here. it could organize itself a little bit in the next couple of days. the hurricane center says it could become a subtropical or tropical system. it doesn't matter whether it does. it's a big rainmaker regardless. heavy showers and thunderstorms and strong winds. the rip current threat is high today. brulgtsz conditions especially along the east coast. make sure you watch out for that today. you look at the forecast for tomorrow, that continues to be the big story. no big changes there. beautiful weather across the southeast and northeast minus the florida situation. a lot of people out there looking at the leaves this weekend, kyra, as things are so nice along the east coast. >> it's so beautiful and cool and it's the perfect porch weather as we like to see in atlanta. the ipad for many people,
