from the cnn center in atlanta, georgia, this is your cnn sunday morning for october 9. 6:00 a.m. in atlanta. i'm t.j. holmes. as always, we want to say a special good morning to our service men and women watching us right now, the american forces network. thank you for being here, and thank you for what you do. let's talk about the president first and the jobs bill. this is going to be an important week. in just a couple of days, the president's jobs bill will get an important test. the senate is expected to vote on his $447 billion package. the congressional budget office says the plan's tax on millionaires would raise an estimated $453 billion. still, republican leaders, they don't like that tax. the president this weekend, we heard from him. he's pushing ahead anyway. >> some see this as class warfare. i see it as a simple choice. we can either keep taxes exactly as they are for millionaires and approximatelynair -- and billionaires, or we can ask them to pay at least the same rate as
3:02 am
a plumber or bus driver. in the process we can put teachers and construction worker and veterans back on the job. we can either fight to protect their tax cuts, or we can cut taxes for virtually every work and small business in america. but we can't afford to do both. it's that simple. [ inaudible ] >> the majority leader in the house says the full bill is actually not going to get a vote in that chamber, sow it's setting up pretty much a showdown this week. senate expected to take action. the house says it will not. we'll see where the jobs bill goes. the unemployment rate still at 9.1%. we got the numbers last week. the national retail federation says retailers expected to hire up to 500,000 workers for the end of the year holidays. among those looking for worker -- and listen up here -- macy's expected to add 78,000 jobs.

3:04 am
anwaral-awlaci. a secret memo made the case for killing him. he allegedly helped the underwear bombing attempt to set off a bomb on a detroit plane in 2009. the memo concluded thattal-awlacki could be legally targeted if it was not feasible to capture him. after his death, the white house took heat for killing an american citizen. republican presidential candidate ron paul says the killing sets a bad precedent. >> if the american people accept this blindly and casually, we now have an accepted practice of the president assassinating people he thinks are bad guys. i think it's sad. >> according to the report, the memo was prepared specifically for al-awlacki and not for americans suspected of terrorist activities. i want to turn to the occupy wall street rallies, protests

prescriptions or medications. he also talks about the fact that he gave michael jackson propofol every single day during the two months he was treating him until the last few days. he said he was trying to help the pop star wean himself off of this powerful, powerful drug. >> i cared about him. i didn't want him to fail. i -- i was compassionate. but what i was doing to recognize that michael jackson may have had a dependency to substance, i was trying to wean him off. >> following the conclusion of that interview tape being played to the jury, we expect that the prosecution will start to wrap up their case. we expect they'll be done sometime early next week. there's no court on monday. that mean the defense will get their chance at some point next week. ted rowlands, cnn, los angeles. at ten minutes past the hour. good morning to our reynolds wolf. how are you, kind sir?

3:15 am
along the i-10 corridor. back toward junction, a break for now. check this out. another line is beginning to develop. what we have is plenty of moisture that continue to feed up out of the gulf of mexico. and as that boundary's trying to move across, we'll see rain through the rest of the day, possibly a bit into tomorrow. what that's going to mean plain and simple, the potential for flooding. some places in the texas hill country need two to five inch of rainfall. so far, bastrom county, austin, a place dealing with wildfires. now we're talking about bare earth with four to seven inches of rainfall. you've got really hard soil there. refer to it as calichi. the texas hill country, everything's going to run off. we could see widespread flooding through central and south texas. lone star state, an something time, especially the next ten hours or so. around the rest of the nation on the back half of the system, we talk good rain in texas. snow into the rockies. some places, maybe a foot of

3:20 am
what would you say about the day when people go into the voting booth and their options are to vote for the democrat, a black man, and the republican, a black man? what would you think of that? >> incredible. i don't -- i didn't think we lived -- in 1965 when we succeeded in getting the voting rights act passed, martin and others of us would talk about we would never live to see an african-american president. we thought there would be one, but none of us would live to see it. unfortunately martin didn't, but thank god he did let me live long enough to see it. and not only see it but participate. i didn't think we would. so but i -- i take the same position as a black democratic candidate and a black republican candidate. i don't think i'll live to see that. and i don't think you will either. >> -- you're here, you're 90 years old this week.

not only the blue angels but driving across the main bridge, he looks up and sees the stealth fighter just flying along. cool stuff. >> it is. >> and great weather for them yesterday, too. >> okay. >> yeah. i can tell you not only for the blue angels but anyone flying on the west coast, no delays expected. it will be different in the center of the u.s. still looking at strong storms, trying to fly intoberg -- interest bergstrom, heavy rainfall an issue. we talk good how texas has been mired down with the heavy droughts. of course, a ridiculous fire season there. today the problems could be compounded due to a frontal bodiry that extends well over -- boundary that extends well over 1,000 miles from the u.s. canadian border down. you see the low pressure, the blue thing is the frontal boundary. you have a contrast of air types. once -- for once there's cold air coming from the north, right behind it -- on the front of it,
3:41 am
moist air feeds in from the gulf of mexico. these are contrasts. when they have the contrasting air masses, what happens -- this front causes that moist air to rise up and condenses. you have the thunderheads, with that the heavy rainfall. along i-35, expect heavy rainfall especially in austin southward into san antonio. for much of the southeast, going to be warm to almost springlike. a lot of the crispness that was in the fall air is now going to feel more summery to you. a lot of moisture feeding into florida, south gentleman, the carolinas. breezy, too, especially in south georgia. high pressure delightful for you. a light touch of snow. light for some, if you happen to be in colorado, eight to 12 inches of snowfall. in the southeast, eight inch of snow, you'll go nuts. everything is relative, of course. in parts of the pacific northwest, expect scattered showers, great basin, picture perfect. speaking of rain, we were talking about texas. look at the rainfall yesterday in florida. vero beach, 8.32. cocoa beach, 7.08.

ten minutes off the top of the hour. a top-secret ipad to tell you about. only a few people in the military can use it. our barbara starr goes in depth as the military goes mobile. >> reporter: t.j., not only does the commander in chief use an ipad, but his top military adviser, the chairman of the joint chiefs, says his ipad is indespensible. i'm noticing the red sticker. secret. >> sure. >> this ipad contains some of this nation's most critical day-to-day military secrets. >> well, i don't want to overdramatize it. but it does have information on
3:52 am
it that certainly you wouldn't want anyonele to have access to. -- anyone else to have access to. we're not wireless yet. we're not to the point where we can have secret information sitting in a cloud for the chairman. but they will load it, send it to the house, and it will have the daily brief. the intel brief, a walk around the world. it will answer my, what we call commander's critical information requirements. >> reporter: general martin dempsey says his ipad is not only crucial for him, but it's the kind of technology the entire military depends on. >> what i'm interested in, by the way, is we have -- one of the lessons we've learned over the last ten years with war is the extent to come we've pushed capability -- extent to which we've pushed capability to the edge. the junior leader at the edge of all of this with the information he needs to understand what's going on. >> reporter: the military does have to be careful. due to worries about viruses and worms, most devices must be used in a stand-alone mode.
3:53 am
they cannot be directly connected to military computer network. >> this is probably the tactical outpost of the future. because the power, the generating power and the data management power of these devices in the future, and i'm looking out to about 2020 or such, wherever the commander is, if he and his people have it, it's a critical operation center. every piece of information will be available here. >> reporter: even pilots flying over afghanistan and libya used commercial maps loaded to their ipads when flying combat missions. apple, of course, isn't the only company with this kind of technology. but in one sign of the high regard the military has for the company, last year a number of senior army officers went to apple headquarters in california to see how steve jobs and apple made it all happen. t.j.? >> thanks to our barbara starr

stage. the only tests we have now to catch it early is psa tests. >> okay. >> without the psa -- until we come up with a better test, i think it is important to continue with testing and to catch it at an early stage while it's still curable. >> the recommendation from the task force has been met with a lot of criticism now. the public will be allowed to weigh in before a final recommendation is issued. we'll look at some of the stories making headlines across the country. we start in baltimore county in maryland. a walmart store had to be evacuated after two women got into a fight. authorities say they were going at it, but not just with their fists, they started pulling bleach and ammonia off the shelves and tossing it at each other. one of the women had to be taken to jail. the other had to be taken to the eye doctor. two others had to be hospitalized, as well. yes, a hazmat team was brought in to clean up the mess. no word on exactly what they got

4:01 am
budget office says the plan's tax on millionaires is going to raise an estimated $453 billion, republicans still don't like the plan and don't like that tax. the president is moving ahead. we heard from him this weekend. take a listen. >> some see this as class warfa warfare. i see it as a simple choice. we can either keep taxes exactly as they are for millionaires and billionaires, or we can ask them to pay at least the same rate as a plumber or a bus driver. and in the process, we can put teachers and construction workers and veterans back on the job. we can either fight to protect their tax cuts, or we can cut taxes for virtually every worker and small business in america. but we can't afford to do both. it's that simple. >> as you know, the -- there have been numerous calls by the president and some of his assistant that we move forward on what he calls his job package and what we call stimulus two.
4:02 am
the president today either will say or has already said at least put the jobs bill up for a vote so that the entire country knows exactly where every member of congress stands. i hope the majority will respond to the request of the president that we give everybody a chance to go on record on the second stimulus bill. >> the majority leader in the house meanwhile saying that the full bill will not get a vote in that chamber. on the subject of jobs now, we've got the report on the nation's economy, 9.1% we stayed ought for september as far as the unemployment rate goes. about 100,000 jobs were added. the national retail federation says stores expected to hire 500,000 workers for the holidays. among those looking for workers, macy's, expect to add 78,000 jobs. kohl's plans to add 40,000 jobs. toys 'r' us plans to add 4,000 workers, and best buy looking

4:04 am
the memo concluded that al-awlaki could be legally targeted if it was not feasible to capture him. after his death, the white house took heat for killing an american citizen. republican presidential candidate ron paul says the killing sets a bad precedent. >> if the american people accept this blindly and casually, we now have an accepted practice of the president assassinating people who he thinks are bad guys. i think it's sad. >> according to "the new york times" report, the memo was prepared specifically for al-awlaki and does not set a precedent for killing americans suspected of terrorist activity. let's turn to the occupy wall street protests that have been going on for about four weeks now. they look like they continue to grow. we have seen demonstrations across the country. those are the states, people expressing frustration with the lack of jobs, perceived corporate greed, anger over government leadership. protests going on in a dozen
4:05 am
states and a number of cities at least so far. among the demonstrations we saw this weekend, in the nation's capital, as well. >> end the war, tax the rich! >> these are demonstrators or other demonstrations in sacramento yesterday. hearing a familiar theme at these protests. here it is. >> this is what democracy looks like! >> show me what democracy looks like. >> this is, this is what democracy looks like! we'll turn specifically to an occupy atlanta demonstration. kind of an interesting back and forth playing out there. we had a few hundred people show up at the atlanta rally. one of them, civil rights icon and georgia congressman john lewis. he showed up to show his support. wanted to address the crowd. but the protesters, many of them, didn't appreciate that. didn't want it hear him. and so they wanted to put it to
4:06 am
a vote. want you to listen to what happened. you'll hear the people near the speaker repeating what the speaker here is saying. so those who are farther away can actually hear what's going on. that explains the dynamic. now listen to how this played out. >> we have fought for the freedom -- >> he has fought for the freedom. >> and the dignity and the respect. >> and the dignity and respect. >> of countless lives. >> of countless lives. >> however. >> however. >> the point of this general assembly -- >> the point this general assembly -- >> is to kick-start -- >> is to kick-start -- >> a democratic process -- >> a democratic process -- >> in which no singular human being -- >> in which no singular human being -- >> is inherently more valuable -- >> is inherently more valuable -- >> than any other human being. >> than any other human being. >> thank you. [ cheers ] >> this went on for several minutes. a lot of back and forth. speakers saying that they wanted to hear from the congressman. but many other ended up voting
4:07 am
saying they did not. there were people there who expressed some anger and disappointment that they were able to get the attention of an influential congressman like congressman lewis. then when he showed up, he wasn't allowed to have a conversation with them. meanwhile, congresswoman lewis was standing by -- congressman lewis was standing by as all this played out. he eventually was able to speak but not to the crowd. he ended up talking to the local media right after. >> another time, another period when i was very young and head of the student nonviolent committee meetings, we participated in a similar process. we would discuss, we would debate, until we reached consensus. this is not something strange, out of the ordinary for people. >> are you disappointed that you did not get a chance -- >> no. not at all. not at all. >> what do you feel it says about the organizational process? >> well, it will work out. they're growing, mature, it will work out. it will come of age.
4:08 am
>> congressman lewis will join us next hour. want to stay with us for that. hear his take on how things are going with the occupy movements and also what happened at the atlanta rally. also, this isn't the first time we have seen something like this happen. charlie rangel, congressman from new york, he showed up at one of the occupy rallies in new york, and a lot of those protesters clearly didn't appreciate having him there. >> budget for your own -- go home. get out of here! boo! boo! boo! [ booing ] >> boo! >> afterwards, representative rangle said he wasn't sure if he was the target of that heckling but says if he was, he understands. we turn now to the manslaughter trial of michael jackson's personal physician. when jurors get back to the courtroom on tuesday this week, they'll hear the rest of a taped interview police did with dr. conrad murray who talked about
4:09 am
the final hours of jackson's life. our ted rowlands is covering the case for us in los angeles. >> reporter: coming up next week in the conrad murray trial, we'll pick up right where we left off last week. that is with the playing of that audiotape of dr. conrad murray talking to investigators. this was an interview he gave investigators just two days after michael jackson died. the jury has heard about an hour and 40 minutes of the tape already. it's a two-hour tape. there's not too much left to go. what they've heard so far has been riveting. murray talks it what happened in the moments before jackson died, what he give jackson in term of prescriptions or medications. he also talks about the fact that he gave michael jackson propofol every single day during the two months he was treating him until the last few days. he said he was trying to help the pop star wean himself off of this powerful, powerful drug. >> i cared about him. i didn't want him to fail.
4:10 am
i had no intentions of hurting him. and i was compassionate. but what it was doing to recognizing michael jackson may have had a dependency to substance, i was trying to wean him off. >> reporter: following the conclusion of that interview tape being played to the jury, we expect that the prosecution will start to wrap up their case. we expect they'll be done sometime early next week. there's no court on monday. so that means the defense will get their chance at some point next week. ted rowlands, cnn, los angeles. ten minutes past the hour now. and take a look, what has come to denver. some areas actually getting a snowstorm. reynolds is here with me now. reynolds, are these the same areas that a week ago had temperature in the 80s? >> yeah, right you are. and what we're seeing is a big transformation, what happens when you jump from one season to another. we're moving into fall. that's what fall looks like in parts of the central rockies.
