7:03 pm
tired of being told basically sit down and shut up. we know better. i don't think people understand that in our system, we have had a revolving door of administrators. every time they come in, they come in with some new idea that we're supposed to implement and no support, no research. >> reporter: there has been over the past few week, they are still negotiating and they say the deadline is midnight tonight. >> i said benefits, pay, whatever quality of life benefits, so spell out exactly what these big issues are. what's this all about? it's not just about money. >> reporter: yeah, no. and one of the specific things that the teachers want is for their older, the veteran teachers to be protected in case of a school closing or if schools are consolidated. that's something very important.
7:04 pm
one thing the district wants is is a merit pay scenario to take place in the fourth year of the contract. those are the three main things, those two and salary. so, whether they'll be able to figure it out in the next few hours, who knows. >> we spoke to a parent earlier. what are you hear frg chicago parents while you're there? how are they going to face a few days of no school? >> reporter: well, here first of all, the what am i going to do with the kids? some people say they're going to have to take off from work. some are figuring out child care scenarios. we talked to one woman here in the englewood district, she says she's concerned about safety. not only for her kids, but the 400,000 kids that are going to be out of tschool and in the streets of chicago potentially and of course, they are dangerous streets. >> if the kids are not in school, they're out getting to some kind of trouble.

7:09 pm
he broke the watergate story, now, bob woodward has his sights set on president obama and his relationship with congress. it's all in a new book called "the price of politics." >> hi, don, well, i have the book right here. it has a lot of interesting details. especially around the gauc negotiations between the president and white house staff and the congressional leadership over the debt ceiling. one part here i want to point to is on the night of july 29th, this is the day house republicans -- john boehner's version of the deal that would have raised the debt ceiling in two steps. this is something the president was very much opposed to.
7:10 pm
because it would have meant a second debt ceiling fight this year amidst this already heated election season. so he asked his treasury secretary if he could veto this and secretary geithner said you can't, it would cause basically a catastrophe, the u.s. not being able to pay its obligations. what's interesting here is that woodward writes david plouffe said if he pays, meaning president obama, it will have long lasting political reprecussions that we may never get out of. if we draw a line in the sand on something this important and cross it, we may never be able to come back. now, essentially, ultimately, the president did not have to worry about whether to veto this bill. house republicans ended up -- the debt ceiling increase coming in two parts and make it one so
7:11 pm
they could avoid having this fight against this year. but it's an interesting glimpse into some of the behind the scenes action and considerations going on. on more point i should mention is for people outside of the beltway, outside the washington bubble who may not be as interested in all of the retelling of the story, what they would be most interested in is the conclusions that bob woodward draws after interviewing more than 100 people coming up with more than hundreds of hours of recordings, thousands of pages of transcripts and he really takes both speaker boehner and president obama to task for essentially kicking the can down the road when it comes to dealing with these big issues of how to reign in the deficit. but he's particularly tough on president obama, he says presidents work their will or should work their will and that obama has not. he has not done so, so some interesting look at that whole discussion and it will be interesting to inform the debate as we go forward. >> thanks, athena.
7:12 pm
appreciate it. last week, debbie wasserman schultz accused a writer of misquoting her comments. she's not just a congresswoman. she is the chairwoman of the democratic party. she came on cnn to set the record straight last night. here's what she told me about phillip klein, who reported her remarks in the washington examiner. >> if you look at what the examiner, which is a conservative blog site, so, it's not surprising that they would deliv deliberately misquote me. they did deliberately misquote me. first, they took only the first line wof what i said and then ct it off. so you haven't played the the rest of what i said and what they did was reported that i said that republican policies were dangerous for israel and that's what ambassador orrin commented on. what i always say and what i said in that event and it's very
7:13 pm
important that we understand that israel should not be a political football. what the republicans are doing -- they are suggesting that there is daylight between the parties on israel. >> okay, do you regret anything that you have said if -- would you say anything differently? >> no, i would not. i regret that the examiner has taken what i said out of context. if they had printed the entire quote and if they had actually told ambassador orrin what i said, i think his response would have been different. >> so, last hour, we let phillip klein have his say and we asked him if he did misquote her. >> on your show, she made two agreenlgs accusations. the the first was that deliberately misquoted her. i not om quoted the part about
7:14 pm
what she said about the israeli ambassador, i actually included entire paragraph long quote in which she elaborated on that point. that she was making. the you know, not only that, i subsequently posted the audio which you just played. the reason you have that is i played it and not only quote d the part about the ambassador, i left 30 seconds of audio on either side that that everyone could see what was leading toup that comment and what they said after it, so it's clear i wasn't out of context. >> and philip, i was going to make that point, that we actually got the link to the audio from your paper. from the "washington examiner", so that's how we got it. i have been and many people have been accused of being misquoted or taken out of context because people will run a sip et, but you said you ran the entire thing and left parts on both
7:15 pm
sides so people could get an idea. what she's talking about here is context is inference and what's your not getting tyou're not ge whag the inference is in there. there's -- what is this, what is she talking about? >> the thing she's trying to draw distinction, she claims in the segment you just played, she claimeded what she was, that i wrote and that i reported that -- those were dangerous and what she really meant that when republicans criticize president obama's record on israel, it turns israel into a political football and that's what undermines israeli security. but the problem with that is i never use the word policies in my initial report. i never said policies. not singular, plural, not in any way, shape or form. if i could just say, the reason
7:16 pm
the word policy has got introduced to this at all is that michael orrin, the israeli ambassador, used the word policies when he was responding to my report. i never used the word. she evidently thinks it's easier to attack a conservative journalist and smear me on tv. >> so, here's a question for you. the whole reason we're doing this. do you think these accusations and responses and possible misquotes, does it detract from the main octobbjective of the d right now, and that is getting the president re-elected? and also holding our officials accountable. i asked the congresswoman if she was a distraction. her answer is next.

7:19 pm
florida congresswoman acknowledged that she has plenty of critics, but says she's proud of her -- even in her own party who say he's been making headlines for their own reasons. let's talk about you. i see the reports. >> okay. >> wasserman schultz walks a tight rope.
7:20 pm
democrats are upset with her. that she's become a distraction, especially with the misquotes and making news in the wrong way. what do you say to that? are you worried about your job? does that concern you? do you think you've been more of a distraction to the obama re-election process than a help? >> not only do i not think that, i know president obama doesn't think that. i know that the senior advisers are surrounded president obama don't think that. when they've been asked on the record have said they have confidence in me and the references that you're talking about have all been these anonymous, you know, off the record, deep background commentary that you know, i mean, it's sort of typical for the political process and the right wing conservative blog es spear has done a great job of trying to fan the flames for. i'm trying to do the best job i
7:21 pm
can representing my constituents here in florida and focusing on making sure that i can help president obama get re-elected, win my home state of florida and help democrats get elected up and down the beltway and i'm proud of my service both in congress as well as with the democratic national committee and i believe that president obama as well as his senior advisers are as well. >> thank you for coming on. you come on, answer the the question, some say hey, she's in the answers quite honestly, but you take it. and you do it with a smile. thank you. appreciate you. we also covered the democrat's platform and why they had to revisit and revote on references to god and gentlemen rus jerusalem. they say they were booted from a flight because their son has down syndrome and they're talking with cnn about their experien experience. you can stay connected, do it on your cell phone or from your computer at work.

trainers and doctors rushed to the motionless player as the crowd looked on in horror. forget having a laze di sunday. residents all over the the northeast cleaning up after a round of fierce storms. one tornado touched down in a beach front area near new york city. winds tore down tree limbs, knocking out power to thousands of customers. a california family is planning to sue american airlines, saying the airline stopped them from boarding the flight because of their 16-year-old son who has down syndrome. they were set to fly first class from newark to los angeles, but moments before they were supposed to board the plane, an airline employee told them because of the boy's agitated behavior and because of safety concerns, the family would not be allowed on the plane. hello, you sat down with that family. how was beaty acting today and
7:27 pm
how is the family reacting? >> well, don, this is the very first time we've met and got ton see beaty and the parents say the reason why they wanted people to see him on cnn is that yes, he is a teenager who has down syndrome, but he's a calm teenager, but you decide for yourself. here's a look. >> dogs are like wolves. they're like cousins. wolves are cousins to the dogs. what does a wolf do? >> barks. >> chases the sheep. the wolf kills the mom, the the old sheep. bites her, kills her and she's dead. >> so, the boy we saw today, not violent, very calm. responding to his parents. granted, he was in his home, but his parents say this is their son. now, last weekend, when they
7:28 pm
were at newark and they were trying to fly back to lax, they say that a pilot saw their son in the gate area. the pilot knew they were going to be flying first class and deemed their son a flight risk. well, the parents say they don't think their son is a flight risk. why were you kicked off that plane? >> that pilot decided that my son didn't belong in first class. just based on my son's appearance, not on behavior. >> it's not like we are, our point was to disturb anyone. our point was to get home. and his face shouldn't disturb anybody. >> okay, so what is american airlines saying? here's a look at a statement they released to cnn. they said, quote, asking the family to take a different flight was a decision made with careful consideration and was based on the young man's
7:29 pm
behavior. our service team worked with the family in an attempt to make him as comfortable as possible. unfortunately, the crew determined he was still agitated and at that point, they had to take a different flight. we have refunded the family's upgrade ticket. >> just makes me want to cry looking at that video. sweet face. and you know, but so, they took a different flight. how did they eventually get from newark to southern california? did they go on american airlines again or take another airline? what happened? >> here's where the story continues and where their outrage continues. the family moved to a different airline. units air license. okay, so we're deeming an inflight risk, but we can united? they think we'll try to fly first class out of united, equal, equal. nope, they got put in coach. had to fly at the back of the plane. now, united airlines is saying the reason why they did that and
7:30 pm
almost segregated the family is because they did it for the family's privacy and to give them additional space. >> have they decided their next step? >> well, at this point, the family is talking to an attorney. they haven't filed any con plaint letter. haven't filed anything legal. what they are hoping is by bringing this out in the public, but talking about this, and making people aware of what happens with people with disabiliti disabilities, the challenges they face, regardless of whether or not we understand what happened, they say there are many challenges, many burdens that families and the individuals have to deal with. they just hope by talking about it, people will become more aware. >> that's what was running through my head. can't imagine what these families have to deal with already. keep following that story, will you, please? >> you bet. >> thank you very much. moms an dads in the city of chicago being told to make some kind of plans for their kids tomorrow. there probably will be no school
7:31 pm
and not talking about just a few students. try 400,000. home from school. possibly for days. appears that teachers in chicago will go through with their promise to strike starting tomorrow and that's not definite yet. there's been no official word from the negotiating room. howard, there he is. i want to talk to you, sir. you taught the chicago school system for nearly 30 years. your kids went through this system. what is going on there? you say this strike is overdue. what's going on? >> well, yes, i talked to many years in the chicago public schools. i had kids who went through chicago public school, i've never seen it this bad. the chicago board of education has brought us to the brink of a crisis. they are the cause for why things are as they are. my group, parents for teachers, we're a community organization. we will be out there on the pick up lines if it comes to a strike
7:32 pm
and it does look like it will. we support the chicago teacher's union because the union is fighting for the kind of schools that kids of chicago deserve. parents and teachers agree that small class size, a rich curriculum, fully resourced schools, these are the things that the kids need and chicago board of education policies are not focusing. >> specifically, you talked about class size. where should theeeach eshs -- a attention on resolving this? what's broken? >> can you say that one more time? >> i said, what is broken in the cps with the school system? where should the attention be focused to fix what you believe you say is broken? >> well, on the kind of
7:33 pm
schooling that mr. emanuel's kids receive at the private school, they go to. in chicago public schools, class size is 30 in some cases, 40. many schools don't have libraries. the type of curriculum is basely teaching to the test and that is not a rich kind of curriculum, the kind his kids receive. that's all that teachers and parents are asking for. and that should be the focus. instead, chicago board of education has been quote unquote experimenting, charter schools turn around. we say make every neighborhood school a quality school. it is the schools in the low income african-american communities that have been closed. stop disinvesting in those communities and kids and start investing in every kid and in every school. >> well, howard, we wish you and everybody in chicago the very best. thank you so much.
7:34 pm
>> thank you and i just like to say parents can call mr. brizare to put on pressure. 773-553-1500. he is the ceo of the public schools. he's probably going to get a lot of calls. but thank you any way. we have to move on now. so, he dropped everything and ran to help others in the world trade center on 9/11, but the certified emt is not get tig the the same honors as other first responders. because he's getting hit with blackouts. shame on you. now he's stuck in a miniature nightmare. oh, thank you. but, with the capital one venture card... you can fly any airline, any flight, any time. double miles you can actually use. what's in your wallet? alec jr? it was a gift.

on tuesday, this country will mark the 11th anniversary
7:38 pm
of 9/11. lots of people will go to the national september 11th memorial in lower manhattan, but one thing they won't see on a list honoring first responders is the name of one muslim american. his family says his faith is the reason why. here's susan candiotti. >> reporter: when 9/11 terrorists attacks the world trade center, firefighters and police were quick to respond. so was mohamed, a 23-year-old certified emt who had worked as a police cadet. he skipped his job at a university research lab and rushed to the site. >> he was a prime example of what it is to be a human being. and he went there to save humanity. >> reporter: and sacrificed his own life in the process. his family posted his photo on a wall of the missing. the following march, his remains
7:39 pm
were found in 34 parts. >> they gave us his jeans and his belt, which my husband identified they were his clothes. >> reporter: a police funeral followed with full honors from fellow cadets, the mayor and police commissioner. >> the fact it was acknowledged in a very highly honorable fashion was gratifying. i was very satisfied at that moment and that was given in honor to me on the first anniversary, honoring him as a cadet. >> reporter: a badge that reads cadet. but with all the accolades, all the honors, for them, the most important one is missing. when the 9/11 memorial was unveiled, the family wanted to
7:40 pm
see his name here among first responders. who like him, lost their lives trying to save others. instead, his name is positioned over here in a section among those considered loosely connected to the world trade center. his mother is convinced his muslim religion has set him apart. >> they're discriminating because of his faith and that is not right. >> reporter: she points to this flir that circulated days after 9/11, sent to ambulance dispatchers. it has his police cadet photo and read, has i.d. wanted. the nypd disavows any knowledge of it and says he is a hero, yet his mother believes that anti muslim backlash lingers. police deny discrimination, saying he was no longer an ak dif cadet. therefore, he did not meet the
7:41 pm
memorial's criteria of first responders. >> this is about my son. he's not here. to speak for himself. i have to speak for him. and i will to the day i die. >> reporter: she doesn't understand why no one will help. >> i want to see it in my lifetime. it's a very, so intense pain that just undescribable. >> reporter: too painful to revisit the memorial where her son's name remains a part from others who tried to save lives. susan candiotti, cnn, new york. so, phone rings and you don't recognize a caller i.d., so you don't answer. big mistake. >> this is barack obama. just calling to say -- >> leaving a message wasn't enough for the commander in

7:45 pm
me what unbelievable work you're doing as a neighborhood team leader and i'm making a few calls to say thank you and tell you how not only do i appreciate your service, but really appreciate all the help you're giving. >> wow. >> you don't believe me, do you? he's -- being quiet right now. i'm not sure. no, it's true. it's me. any way, so, i just want you to just know that what you're doing every day, that's making all the difference in the campaign, all right? so keep it up. okay, and everybody, you know, everybody -- up in washington, michelle and all the girls and everybody, they say thank you, too. there you go. all right. so keep at it, barney.
