somalia raid. it may have been because innocent children could have been caught in the cross fire. we'll give you a live report, ahead from the pentagon. a new documentary and book releasing today. the president weighed in, now the nfl is set to meet with the native american tribe about it. from the world of technology, he's one of the richest men in america. there is renewed speculation abreuing about bill gates future. we've heard reports that some big investors are trying to oust him from microsoft. now there's talk that some are trying to bring him back full time. the question question this morning, what is with this video of him going viral? the shaggadelic answer, coming up. >> wow. >> first up this morning, take a look at the violent weather that tore through the region,

stretching from new england to washington. if you are in the northeast tldz a good chance you felt the strong wind or got caught in the rain that flooded roads and caused travel delays. indra petersons has all the madness. >> this was actually the same storm system that dumped record snowfall in the dakotas, eventually spawned tornadoes in iowa and made its way through the northeast having about 100 reports of wind damage. a powerful storm hit the east coast monday with high winds and torrential rain. in jacksonville, florida, knee deep water forced residents to use other means of transportation, some helping stranded drivers. >> got out of the jeep and started pushing. luckily someone else came up and started helping me. >> there's water in my car, everything is just done. i got caught right there. >> reporter: the storm swift but strong left destruction in its path.

>> all i saw was a cloud of green leaves and then the tree came down. >> reporter: virginia driver william ledford escaped from his damaged car unscathed. further up the coast in new jersey, a man survived a close call in his home. >> the ceiling came in from the tree. it missed him by 6, 7 inches. >> reporter: the winds so powerful that they knocked out service for thousands of residents up and down the east coast. >> the rain came down extremely hard, wow, look at that. almost immediately everything was just blowing. >> reporter: in the aftermath of the 120r78 downed trees littered the streets. check out this gigantic tree that crashed on to this home. >> this tree has been around since i've been 6 years old. i can't believe the size of the hole that's in there. >> reporter: here's the good news. that system has made its way offshore. we'll have a full forecast coming up for you in just a bit. kate? >> indra, thanks so much.

we have now reached day eight of the government shutdown. a new cnn poll says at least half of the americans say the government shutdown is causing major problems for the country. house speaker insists he does not have the votes to pass a clean spending bill. the president seems to be daring him to prove it. the u.s. economy is hinged on whether congress will raise the debt ceiling. brianna keilar is live at the white house. >> reporter: until now, all of these bills that the house and senate have been passing back and forth have been aimed at funding the government. but that changes today. now the aim is going to be making sure that there isn't a disastrous default as we come uncomfortableably close to the debt ceiling. ramping up the pressure on house republicans, senate democrats will introduce a bill today that would increase the debt ceiling

for more than a year. the goal, push this hot potato issue beyond the 2014 midterm elections. the bill has no strings attached, no agreement to change obama care, no budgetary bartering. >> i cannot do that under the threat if republicans don't get 100% of their way, they'll either shut down the government or default on america's debt. >> reporter: the president still says he won't bargain with the country's ability to pay its bills. >> the president's refusal to negotiate is hurting our economy and putting our country at risk. >> reporter: house speaker john boehner insists a debt ceiling increase without some concessions from the white house will never get passed his republicans. he says the same about a government funding bill, though democrats question that. >> one sure fire way to find out whether the bill would pass is to have a vote on it. >> reporter: only one thing is for certain. americans are not impressed,

especially with republicans. in a new cnn/orc international poll, 63% of those surveyed blame the gop for the shutdown. 57% point finger at democrats and 53% hold president obama accountable. eight days into the partial government shutdown, nine days from breaching the debt ceiling, here are some ways this could all play out. perhaps a long-term proposal like what the senate is taking up. if that doesn't fly, there could be a short-term measure to buy time or both sides could keep talking past each other until the u.s. defaults. and there's bipartisan agreement that would be an economic disaster. we are already set up for a cliff-hanger. the senate, again, introducing their debt ceiling bill today. that would mean a first vote, a procedural vote saturday. we may not see a final vote. it could come as late as wednesday. one day before we are predicted to hit the debt ceiling.

chris? >> brianna, you may have progress snuck into that piece there at the end. if they're all saying the default would be a disaster, there is a little bit of progress. thank you for the reporting this morning. we'll take any hope we can get. let's assume that of any political stripe down there, they're starting to see that going into credit default would be economic disaster. but why? what exactly would happen? how would it impact you? let's bring in christine romans. she'll break it down for us. what does it mean? >> it means the treasury department is about to run out of manien to pay all of its bills? why? because it can't borrow more money. the united states government is financed. it wouldn't be able to borrow more money. unless congress raises the debt limit there wouldn't be enough. it would have to rely on $30 billion in cash that's in the treasury's coffer right now. there's also daily revenue but

that fluctuates. there's very tough decisions. i want to show you what the biggest bills we have are coming due. november 1st, social security is due, veterans benefits, military pay and medicare all coming in at the same time. you want to pay those, right? these seem like priorities for the government. and then what happens? you don't have any more money. you have to pay what, irs refunds. those will be ious, government workers, maybe ious. this is what you cannot do. you cannot give ious for your interest payments. those absolutely must be paid. that's what's crucial here. even china overnight warning the u.s. it expects to get paid. stock markets would most likely plunge. the value of the dollar would crash. experts say just like when you don't pay your credit card bill and it takes a ding on your credit card score, interest rates would rise. borrowing rates would rise.

our debts and deficits would explode. it's simple. the united states has always paid its bills on time. we don't have a budget, haven't since 2009. the spending and taxing and priorities of a government are put in a budget, not the debt ceiling. that's the credit limit. it's the budget you need. that's where you put your priorities, guys. >> fight about the politics of this but you lay out clearly why there's general consensus among smart economists that say this could be catastrophic if we don't raise the debt ceiling and why maybe we don't know what's going to happen afterward but why test it? >> don't want to test it. >> no, you don't. >> we're watching that big story of course. there are headlines we're watching this morning. let's get straight to michaela for that. >> good to see you. thank you for joining us. the death toll from last week's boat sinking off the italian coast now has more than doubled

to to 231. you'll recall 111 bodies were recovered in the immediate aftermath of that disaster. survivors say the trouble started when the engine stopped less than a mile from the island of lampedusa, a common destination for african refugees. 155 survived. praise from secretary of state john kerry for syrian president bashar al assad, kerry giving the syrian leader a verbal pat on the back for the quick pace of chemical weapons destruction in syria. his comments were men to the encourage the regime's continued cooperation with the weapons inspectors and do not reflect a softening of the position that the assad regime must go. another arrest in connection with the assault on an suv driver. he is now the fourth person to face charges. several offduty undercover officers with the new york police department could also be facing trouble. they were part of the biker club

bed. >> probably because he was in the bed. >> apparently there was an attack in that very same area. that was about a year ago. let's get back to indra. you have the violent weather you're talking about in the northeast overnight. how's the forecast for the rest of the country. >> we continue to see that make its way offshore. strong system as its made its way across the squall line, had about 100 reports of storm damage coming from wind, downed trees and overturned vehicles. that's what we're watching. the big change will be the temperatures now that cold air is in place. this is yesterday's highs. don't get too excited. new york yesterday 76 degrees. now that we're moving that cold air into the vicinity, temperatures drop down. keep in mind, this is where they should be. we've been above average for so long, it will feel like a big chill. more and more cold air does start to move into place.

that's the northeast. down to the southeast, we still have the frontal system hang offshore. just off of it, a low has developed and making its way slowly day by day up the coastline. it's bringing the moisture off the coastline and when we start talking about rain here, again, day by day, we start it off in the carolinas, eventually make its way to the atlantic by the middle of the week. we talk about that into the northeast. tapering off as it does make its way up. pacific northwest, it's that time of year, day after day, another storm making its way in through the pacific northwest. temperatures there dropping about 20 degrees below normal. pretty nice day today, considering what we saw yesterday. >> thank you. >> it is all relative. coming up on "new day," we take a break, they storm somalia, searching for the leader of the al shabaab terror grupp. then an elite navy s.e.a.l.s team pull back. now we know why. we'll tell you.

correspondent barbara starr who's been digging in on that story. >> reporter: it's taken a few days but the after-action reports are coming in and there are new details. in southern somalia, it quickly became the most dangerous mission for s.e.a.l. team 6 since they killed osama bin laden, according to one senior u.s. military official. the mission, to secretly enter a hospital town, capture and bring back alive a man known as a top operative in al shabaab. the somali-based al qaeda affiliate, the man the u.s. believes is planning more attacks. after the s.e.a.l.s make their way to their target, a heavily defended seaside villa, they are spotted. a massive firefight breaks out as more and more militants gather. the s.e.a.l.s cannot capture the target, they abort the mission. a top pentagon official insists the s.e.a.l.s were not run off by al shabaab fighters.

>> military personnel on this objective during the raid literally went to the door step of this al shabaab terrorist and discovered that there were civilians in the surrounding area. >> reporter: a military source says the s.e.a.l.s also report they saw children at the compound, another factor in ending the raid. and he says there are other u.s. forces nearby to respond if the fight had grown worse. we are also getting a clearer picture of the mission in libya. in tripoli, army delta force commandos in vehicles surround a senior al qaeda operative while he is still in his car. his son shows us the vehicle. shattered glass from smashed in windows, the only evidence of a very different capture mission that was successful and over in moments. cnn has also learned that the command dough teams practiced

and rehearsed both missions in the weeks and days before they occurred, even as they were still gathering intelligence and surveying their targets. chris? >> barbara, thank you for the update. appreciate it. we also want to tell you this morning, another new story. getting to the bottom of a salmonella outbreak. authorities think a chicken processor in california is the source of the problem that made 300 people sick in 18 states. let's bring in elizabeth cohen, following the story for us. good morning. what do we know. >> reporter: we know 278 people in 18 states, mostly in california, have become sick from salmonella, associated with foster farms chicken. we have the lot numbers of the chicken that may be associated with this outbreak. this is usually the part i tell you, throw the chicken away or bring it back to the farm. they say products are safe to assume. if handled properly and fully cooked. i will leave it up to you

viewers if you want to fully cook that chicken and eat it or throw it away. >> we all know what common sense tells us. let me ask you this, what else common sense tells us, elizabeth. what's going on with this situation? is this status quo, do you believe there's a government impasse here because of what's going on with the shutdown? >> these outbreaks happen if there's a shutdown or not. the question is can the cdc or did they fully respond in the way they would have if there weren't a shutdown. they furloughed most of the employees. tom frieden, the director of the cdc put out a tweet that's scary. he says they protected you yesterday, can't tomorrow. microbes and other threats didn't shut down. we are less safe. when the director of the cdc are ceying we're less safe, you have to take him at his word, that perhaps things could have gone more smoothly in this case.

>> we do know they're responding the best they can right now. the word is get out. that's basically what they do in these situations. >> correct. >> elizabeth cohen, thank you very much. stay on it for us. appreciate it. you know the discussion with salmonella. can they help us? do you think it's hype? tweet us, let us know, #newday. coming up next on "new day," more and more americans furious with congress and the president over the government shutdown. when will negotiations begin and if they don't, which party will take the biggest hit? your political gut check is ahead. plus, the washington redskins, the name doesn't sound piecey. the president weighed in. the team is meeting with the native american group. we'll give you the scoop about what may come next. ♪

a new cnn/orc poll show 63% of people blame the republicans while 57% blame democrats. more saber rattling from north korea. wrong ka pyongyang putting its military on high alert. the u.s. moved a group of ships into a south korean port. the atf preventing the publication of a new book about the failed fast and furious operation. the program allowed 2,000 guns to cross into mexico, then lost track of hundreds of them. at least one of those guns was linked to the death of this man, border agent brian terry. now officials say federal agent and whistle-blower john dodson's account of the program is bad for morale. he'll join us later this morning at 8:20 eastern. a court hearing today to decide what exactly to do with a 9-year-old runaway who slipped past security and boarded a flight from minneapolis to las vegas.

delta airlines saying it is still reviewing surveillance video to determine exactly how that boy traveling alone got on to the plane unnoticed without a ticket. officials say in the days before, the young stowaway also stole a car and snuck into a water park without paying. a store clerk on long island stared down the barrel of a would-be robber's gun then pulled out -- oh, my goodness, his own weapon, a machete. newly released surveillance video shows the clerk chasing the gunman out of the store, through the parking lot. police say they have been getting tips but so far have not made any arrests. >> that guy is not fooling around. >> that is -- i don't know. >> he has a gun. >> maybe not a smart strategy. >> i'm going to rob you, what is your name? my name is machete. haven't you seen the movie? >> apparently he has. >> he runs all right. >> because he ran. >> he has wheels. >> that was one of the most low

percentage plays. nobody in the safety community will tell you to do anything like that ever. he's a lucky man. >> he is a lucky man. >> machete. >> exactly. one more time. our producers in the back are cracking up. >> i just snorted. >> we have lost it. okay. let's move on to our political gut check if i can hold it together. is the white house giving an inch? the obama administration suggesting they could be open to a very short-term increase in the nation's debt ceiling. this as public opinion towards the shutdown becomes more hostile. a new cnn/orc poll showing more than half of americans think the government shutdown is causing major problems for the country. cnn's chief national correspondent john king is back and here to break it all down. you have the poll saying it would cause major problems for the country and this poll that is also probably not surprisingly telling us there is blame to go around for this shutdown. who are folks angry at?

everyone. republicans, democrats and president obama. republicans with more of the blame but democrats are pretty close right behind them. they all need a way out of this at this point. any idea? . >> no. the answer to that is no. forgive me for interrupting in the sense that you is a senator here who has a compromise plan, a house member who says maybe it will play out like that. what you don't have is the basic trust and the people that matter most, the people that can make it to the finish line sitting down together. the president saying he won't negotiate on the government shutdown or for the debt ceiling increase as part of that bill. the trust deficit at the moment is still in the way of any progress. we're on day eight. that debt ceiling deadline within ten days from now. the government would run out of money within a week or two of that. forgive me, you should have bill murray come in and do this for the next couple days because it seems like groundhog day. >> you're seeing some kind of

action, senate democrats, they're setting in motion today a vote on a clean debt ceiling increase. republicans over the weekend and they will continue to pass bills in the house. are those just bargaining positions or are they trying to do something in the absence of any real negotiating? >> in the old days, one became b -- chamber passed its version, the other chamber passed its version and you came up with a compromise. the senate says no way, we're not taking the bait. the white house says we're not taking the bait because they think they would fund almost all of the government, just not obama care. the republicans would say we win, the government is back open and we're not funding the president's health program. you'd need 54 democrats plus 6 republicans to get through the procedural hurdles. let's assume you got 60 votes out of the senate. would the republican speak, john

boehner, bring it to the floor when his members, the 25 to 35 tea party ultraconservative members say no way, we won't do that. there's a meeting of house republicans this morning. we'll see if there's effect of the time of this tick, tick, tick back home. at the moment there's no breakthrough in sight. >> the deadline or if the market would react violently or often the thing that gets congress having a clearer head and having cooler heads prevail, also on the side of the president, the president said i am not negotiate. has he backed himself into a corner at this point? or after saying there's no negotiating can he then find some way to negotiate and save face? >> he'll have to find some way to have a conversation. the way to save face and not have a conversation, number one, their threshold argument is negotiation is the price of admission when you have divided government. there's no way to get anything big done when you have a democratic president, a democratic senate and republican

house without negotiation. they have history on their side. the president did negotiate in 2011 over the debt ceiling. the president saying i'm not going to negotiate with a gun to my head, his words, over raising the debt ceiling or re-opening the government. if you can do those things we can have the other conversations. the problem is you're asking republicans who don't trust the president and some don't trust their own leadership to vote to raise the debt ceiling or re-open the government with a promise they'll talk about government reform or obama care in the next set of negotiations. the missing trust is the ingredient missing saying, let's try to get back to normal. >> you hit it right there. the promise used to be enough that we will deal with this afterward. the trust is not there to even allow that to happen. it is amazing. the mistrust within the house republicans is as important as the mistrust between republicans and the democrats right now. it is dysfunction that's

swirling. >> excellent point. thanks, john. talk to you soon. thank you. we'll take a quick break on "new day." within we come back, the name elizabeth smart. you'll remember that face, hearing about the kidnapping by a deranged capital. now she's finally telling us what happened, 9 months of torture at 14 years of age. she joins us on "new day" about her new book. native american groups, politicians, even the president turning up the heat on the nfl's washington redskins. will the owner agree to change the team's name? affic, congestion, for the smog. but there are a lot of people that do ride the bus. and now that the buses are running on natural gas, they don't throw out as much pollution into the air. so i feel good. i feel like i'm doing my part to help out the environment.

out into the atlantic at another possible development. you see one here that's closer to the coastline, about 20% chance. it's actually what we're looking at is way off the coast of africa. there's africa if you need a reference point. it has about a 40% chance of development over the next five days. a 50% chance. we'll monitor that to see what happens. typically this time of year we are past peak season. we see them originate in the caribbean and curve out to sea. since it is not following that path we'll have to see whether or not it does affect the u.s. mainland. the other big story we saw yesterday, look at that line of storms that cruised through the area. over 100 reports of wind damage yesterday from downed power lines, uprooted trees and overturned vehicles. finally, the good news is that is currently offshore at least into the northeast. we'll be left with cold air behind it, thanks for the cold front moving through. notice the temperatures. they're dropping way down. actually close to average where we should be this time of year

but we were a good 10, 15 degrees above average recently. it will feel like a good chill. we drop down to below average. 62 on thursday. same thing philly, 64 with your average about 69. that will be the big difference there in the southeast. we're looking at the same system just off the shoreline, that low will develop. each day kind of gradually creep up the coast. what does that mean, carolinas we'll be pulling in the moisture from that low. look for 2 to 4 inches of rain over the next several days. as that low continues to make its way up the coastline, a lot of people asking what are your plans here? into the mid-atlantic and northeast, look for the first half of your weekend to be consumed by rain. the second half looks nice. >> overnight you could feel the temperature dropping. >> and a little more today, each day. >> thanks so much, indra. >> second half, known as a day. take what you can get. we want to talk to you about the washington redskins name, merely politically incorrect or

disrespect. it's about loving the redskins. >> reporter: davis cited a poll showing 4 out of 5 americans don't think the redskins name should be changed own the only poll which asked native americans specifically about it, taken almost a decade ago. that showed 9 out of 10 native americans were not bothered by the name. what do you make of the polling that says that many native americans aren't offended and many others don't want the name changed. >> it's a dictionary-defined racial epithet. you should be using that to sell a sports team to the nation or the rest of the world. >> reporter: roger goodell stepped lightly into the conversation. >> if we're offending one person we need to be listening. >> reporter: dan snyder, one of 32 owners goodell works for said recently he'll never change the name but the oneida indian nation says both sides will meet together about the redskins name next month. brian todd, cnn, washington. >> thanks for that. let's go around the world

surrounding mr. gates. these are two people who are intwined with the company and have been for a very long time. they've been around for a very long time. bill gates most recently left the day-to-day operations to focus on giving his money away. it's so interesting. reuters reporting that with some of the big shareholders, they want bill gates out of the equation. >> why? >> because they think he will be too involved -- he will not give free reign to a ceo. under steve ballmer mostly the stock moved sideways. this is the most widely held stock in the country. they say steve ballmer missed big moves in technology and it's time for him to go and a whole new era begin. >> the decision is are we going to put somebody in who wants to buy other people's stuff or make

our own stuff again. what's going on with the video? >> it's so funny. take a look. this is a different light than you've seen bill gates. bill gates as austin powers. >> it is not new. to have it go viral when all of this is swirling gives new light to, you know, insight of how things function. >> the interest in the company and the transformation and big changes that are happening. >> when did he do it? >> they do these every year. it's viral now because everyone is talking about what's going to happen to bill gates and steve ballmer over at microsoft. >> mix your mistake. >> dr. evil. the right way. >> $1 billion. >> says our money correspondent. seems appropriate, doesn't it? time for must-see moment today. how would you react if someone made you spill your coffee all over your expensive laptop?

she takes it to a new level. watch this. >> just get away from me. >> would you believe -- >> oh, my gosh. >> tell me they're actors. >> the back story is that guy wasn't hurt at all, of course, all part of a prank. >> important to know. >> all part of a plan to promote ding, ding, ding. you might just be taken aback and buy into this. watch this, too, what she does for the table. wait for it. >> that would spook me out. >> are the people watching actors? >> there's a few of them placed in there to make it believable. >> to make what believable, that she used telekinetic powers to

move the table? >> i don't believe that actually happened, let alone what is make believe. >> if it happened in a coffee shop before you had your first cup of java, you might be like, whoa, what just happened? >> i'm in another trailer. where's kimmel? >> you're smarter than i am. i would have been screaming like a little girl running out. >> i need a truck here right away. >> bring the truck. >> baldwin's on scene. >> i've got a beeper. >> wow. >> that was a good one. i'm glad you liked it. on that note, coming up next on "new day," perhaps, just perhaps, a glimmer of hope in washington. we'll take whatever we can get. the senate trying to tacking the approaching debt limit. s.e.a.l. team 6, why did they have to abort their mission that we heard about? we'll tell you what went down when they had an al qaeda operative in their sights. pentagon story ahead.

night against the falcons, jets down by two. smith completes four straight passes to get new york into field goal range. and then your game winner, jets win 30-28. they're 3-2 on the season. the falcons dropped to a disappointing 1-4. the braves were looking to salvage the night for sports fans in atlanta last night. here he tries to lay down a bunt. he failed twice. he's swinging. two-run home run gives the dodgers the lead, they win 4-3 to eliminate the braves and move on to the nlcs. rays needing a win to stay alive. bottom line, lobaton sends this one into center field. tampa wins, they try to even the series tonight in game four. tigers and a's get going at

5:00. chris, back too your jets. geno smith played five games now? three of them he's led a game-winning drive to win the game. so even though he's a rookie, he's looking pretty good. what do you think? >> yes. >> there's nothing to say. >> i'm not surprised. >> there's nothing to say. >> these are the jets. andy scholes, you and all you experts, you can't count out the heart. i told you. the jets. >> i did not have the faith you have, chris. >> you now do. >> super bowl prohibitive. it is time for the top news. all i saw was a cloud of green leaves and then the tree came down. weather chaos. the entire east coast slammed by a vicious storm system overnight.

thousands without power, homes flooded, travel snarled all over. we have the latest. under pressure, democrats turning up the heat on the gop with a new strategy to try to end the debt ceiling fight and now this, a salmonella outbreak amid the shutdown. are government agencies able to hand it'll? hard hit. a new book and documentary tearing into the nfl. alleging the league knew of the dangers of concussions but ignored it. they are fighting back this morning. your "new day" starts right now. >> announcer: what you need to know -- >> my strong suspicion is there are enough votes there. the reason speaker boehner hasn't called a vote is because he doesn't apparently want to see the government shutdown end at the moment. >> announcer: what you just have to see -- ♪

>> announcer: this is "new day" with chris cuomo, kate bolduan and michaela pereira. good morning. welcome back to "new day." tuesday, october 8th, 7:00 in the east. brand new this morning, libya is upping the rhetoric, summoning the u.s. ambassador over that terror raid they're calling the capture of abu anas al libi, a kidnapping. this as we learn that heavily armed marines have been moved to a new base, ready to respond to any backlash over the raid. all the details coming up in a live report. then we have her story captivated the entire country, elizabeth smart was kidnapped from her bedroom when she was 14 years old, forced to endore unimaginable treatment for nine months. she is telling her entire story in great detail, not holding back about what she went through. elizabeth will join us with the incredible details from her new book, "moore stor

book, "my story." that's just ahead. as astrophycist. heavy rains knock out power for thousands, triggering massive travel delays from new england to florida. in the midwest, dangerous tornadoes barreling through the northern plains. let's bring in indra petersons, tracking all of it. what do we know, indra? >> that was a same system that brought record-breaking snowfall into the dakotas, eventually moved its way into the midwest, spawning tornadoes and then last night it made its way into the northeast, bringing hundreds of reports of damage right along with it. a powerful storm hit the east coast monday with high winds and torrential rain. in jacksonville, florida, knee deep water forced residents to

use other means of transportation, some helping stranded drivers. >> got out of the jeep and started pushing. luckily someone else came up and started helping me. >> reporter: the driver flooded with emotion. >> there's water in my car, everything is just done. i got caught right there. >> reporter: the storm swift but strong left destruction in its path. >> all i saw was a cloud of green leaves and then the tree came down. >> reporter: virginia driver william ledford escaped from his damaged car unscathed. further up the coast in new jersey, a man survived a close call inside his home. >> the ceiling caved in from the tree. it missed him by 6, 7 inches. >> reporter: the winds so powerful that they knocked out service for thousands of residents up and down the east coast. >> the rain came extremely hard, straight down, went, wow, look at that. almost immediately everything was just blowing. >> reporter: in the aftermath of the storm downed trees littered the streets. check out this gigantic tree

that crashed onto this home. >> it's crazy. the tree's been around since i was like 6 years old. i can't believe the size of the hole that's in there. >> we'll give you the full forecast as to what's expected next, coming up in a few minutes. >> indra, thanks so much for that. the other big story we're watching out of washington, the government partially shut down, now in its eighth day. both president obama and house speaker john boehner are talking about ending it but they're not talking to each other. this while more than half of all americans in a cnn/orc poll say the gridlock is causing a crisis and major problems for the country. and the stakes are higher for another debate. will congress act to raise the nation's debt ceiling before the october 17th deadline? brianna keilar is live at the white house with more. good morning, brianna. >> reporter: kate, good morning. until now, all of these bills

that the house and senate have been shuttling back and forth have had to do with funding the government. that will change today with a bill the senate is taking up. they're turning towards trying to avoid a disastrous default. we're inching uncomfortably close to the debt ceiling. ramping up the pressure on house republicans, senate democrats will introduce a bill today that would increase the debt ceiling for more than a year. the goal, push this hot potato issue beyond the 2014 midterm elections. the bill has no strings attached, no agreement to change obama care, no budgetary bartering. >> i cannot do that under the threat if republicans don't get 100% of their way, they'll either shut down the government or they are going to default on america's debt. >> reporter: the president still says he won't bargain with the country's ability to pay its bills. >> the president's refusal to negotiate is hurting our economy and putting our country at risk.

>> reporter: house speaker john boehner insists a debt ceiling increase without some concessions from the white house will never get passed his republicans. he says the same about a government funding bill, though democrats question that. >> one sure fire way to find out whether the bill would pass is to have a vote on it. >> reporter: only one thing is for certain. americans are not impressed, especially with republicans. in a new cnn/orc international poll, 63% of those surveyed blame the gop for the shutdown. 57% point the finger at democrats and 53% hold president obama accountable. eight days into the partial government shutdown, nine days from breaching the debt ceiling, here are some ways this could all play out. perhaps a long-term proposal like what the senate is taking up. if that doesn't fly, there could be a short-term measure to buy time or both sides could keep

talking past each other until the u.s. defaults. and there's bipartisan agreement that would be an economic disaster. we are already set up for a cliff-hanger. while we may see the first procedural vote on the senate debt ceiling bill on saturday, we may not see a final vote until wednesday. one day before we're scheduled to hit the debt ceiling. chris and kate? >> brianna, thank you very much. joining us more is the co-host of cnn's "crossfire," former speaker of the house, newt gingrich. do you think if there were a vote it would pass right now? >> probably not. >> you don't think it would? >> no. in fact four of the republicans that the media had been counting on said we're not going to split with boehner. >> this is democrat hype? >> sure. the democrats while they don't want to talk about how many senators would vote for the veterans administration clean national park, a lot of the

bills harry reid is blocking. >> do you believe the democrats are more anxious to re-open the government than the republicans? >> oh, sure. of course they are. look, the democrats would love to have the republicans surrender. they'd love to spend the money they want to. they would love to change nothing because they're in charge. that's perfectly understandable. it's not how our system works. >> what does it mean when you reflect the intentions on to the polls where people believe this is a crisis, a real problem? they're blaming both to be fair. a little bit more for republicans but that does mean you're not on the side of the people. >> republican people get elected every two years to the house, six years to the senate. this is not october of 2014. there's a long time to go. i also believe that if you look at the polls, this initiative truly bothered obama. there was a piece for cnn.com this morning that said compared to my experience in '95-'96,

he's taking a much deeperen hit than bill clinton did. he keeps saying, i will not negotiate. every time you look up while doing "cross fire" saying i will not negotiate, he's driving a message home. they think a president's job is to get in a room and get things done, not to make speeches and attack somebody. >> do you think the american people think the president is being too extreme? >> i think they think everybody is. that's a huge loss for obama. six weeks ago they would have been on his side. >> politics aside, at the end of the day, i don't care about that part as much. what seems to be of concern is the absolute effect on people we have as it moves into the debt ceiling. you've been through shutdowns. you never -- you threatened but never blew a deadline on a debt ceiling what is your counsel to your party. >> my counsel to the whole country is we will not default. >> are you sure? >> absolutely.

>> what if they blow the deadline? >> it's irresponsible of jack lewis, secretary of the treasury to success he can't manage this. the treasury has lots of assets. they can go for months by juggling things. we're not going to default. that's not going to happen. >> even if you blow the deadline, you're not worried? >> no. from 1953 on under general, now president eisenhower, we have fought over the debt ceiling. for 60 years we've done this. eisenhower wanted a debt ceiling increase, a bipartisan group of senators said no. it took him a year to get it. we gradually got better at doing it. some of the biggest changes in spending have come under the debt ceiling. i don't understand why people give credit to this idea that this is new or different or rationale for harry reid or barack obama to say i'm not going to negotiate. >> the economy is flimsy, the markets are sensitive. we saw in 2011 with a relatively inconsequential credit move, you

have the market tank 2,000 points. took some time to sustain. times are different now. if you mess with it, you can't control it in d.c. >> which is why the president ought to be getting off his high horse, sitting in a room, acting like he's part of the constitution. he's not above it. >> should you reinforce the idea that you don't want to mess with this, you guys in d.c. >> should they add amendments to it? absolutely. so they find a way to get to an agreement and act like adults, absolutely. >> but don't mess with the debt ceiling. don't you believe -- >> in the worst case they could pass a two-week extension. what i object to deeply, both as an american citizen, as a conservative and former speaker of the house is, this notion that we somehow owe the president bowing to him and doing things on his terms with no negotiations. i think this is a terrible idea. >> i just want to see if you agree with a guest's theory.

we had him on the show the other day. there have been fights, ideological differences. but at the end of the day they knew they had to work for government and respected government. that that has changed, this new faction doesn't respect the existence of government. they were there to fix even if it means break. do you agree with that assessment? >> no. when i was speaker of the house, we had at least 40 members who were deeply, deeply hurt that we agreed to re-open the government when senator dole decided we fought long enough. at least 40 members. i think that part is not unusual. what's unusual is when clinton was president, we talked virtually every day. we met almost every day. this president, he calls john boehner and says, his opening line, i will not negotiate. how do you -- what's the point of the phone call? i think obama and inability to be leader and talk with the

congressional leadership and his absolute ignorance of the constitution is, i think, breathtaking in an incumbent president. >> if you had to fill in the but for -- but for the president, you think this wouldn't have happened? >> this is great irony. if the president negotiated, boehner would be under more pressure, because boehner would be trying to figure out a deal. it's easier for boehner to say, look, the president won't call me. i'm doing the best i can. it doesn't hurt boehner in his conference to have harry reid attack him and barack obama attack him. it strengthens boehner. >> newt gingrich, thank you for the perspective has always. just in to cnn, the 2013 nobel prize for physics awarded just moments ago to two scientists to are their work confirming the existence of higgs boson, the so-called god particles. they predicted the existence of the fundamental particle that explains the existence of mass. the government shutdown has not

stopped social security checks but hitting the debt limit could. the obama administration says benefits for millions of americans could be put on hold if the borrowing limit isn't increased. the social security administration is working with the treasury department which helps determine how to handle payments if the debt ceiling is not raised. a fourth motorcyclist has been arrested in connection with the beating of an suv driver in new york city. 29-year-old craig wright is charged with gang assault and unlawful imprisonment. two off-duty undercover cops riding with the bikers are now being questioned. one reportedly didn't come forward for days for fear that his cover would be blown. problems in the place where the nsa planned to store information it has been collecting. a series of electrical meltdowns kept them from using computers at a storage center in utah. the power surges have destroyed

hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment. prince william showing out impressive footwork. check it out. he joined members of the queen's household team in a training session on a specially prepared pitch. that match marking the 150th anniversary of the uk football association which prince william is the president. football, of course, because i don't want the jets fan to get upset or soccer as we call it here. >> there you go. thanks, michaela. we told you about the strong storms on the east coast overnight. let's get back to indra. >> you can see this line of storms as it made its way across yesterday. look at these. every single one of the dots you see showing up is a report of damage as the storm made its way across. definitely a powerful system. good thing it is offshore in the northeast. the big thing you'll see is the huge temperature drop now that the cold front has made its way

through. i wanted to give you the reference point. this is not the forecast, this is what it felt like yesterday ahead of the front. philadelphia with 80 degrees yesterday. now that the cold front pushes through, the temperatures drop down into upper 60s and low 70s. this is actually the average temperature we should be seeing this time of year. we continue to filter in the cool air over the next several days. we see the temperatures drop from above average to below average. low 60s in the mix, frost advisories in the morning, a chill out there. otherwise in the southeast, you'll notice we have seen a low start to form. with that, moisture pulls in off of the gulf. look for 2 to 4 inches of rain in the carolinas. eventually it makes its way up into the northeast. thanks, indra. >> we'll take a quick break here. coming up, what made navy s.e.a.l.s pull back on a mission to capture an al qaeda operative. it may surprise you. and a salmonella outbreak is

affecting people in more than a dozen states. are officials able to handle this now that the government is partially shut down? great. this is the last thing i need.) seriously? let's take this puppy over to midas and get you some of the good 'ol midas touch. hey you know what? i'll drive! i really didn't think this through. brakes, tires, oil, everything. (whistling) if yand you're talking toevere rheuyour rheumatologistike me, about trying or adding a biologic. this is humira, adalimumab. this is humira working to help relieve my pain. this is humira helping me through the twists and turns. this is humira helping to protect my joints

from further damage. doctors have been prescribing humira for over ten years. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. for many adults, humira is proven to help relieve pain and stop further joint damage. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer, have happened. blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure have occurred. before starting humira , your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. ask your doctor if humira can work for you. this is humira at work.

welcome back. new developments after at capture of a terror suspect in libya. 200 u.s. marines are on the move to a naval base in italy, putting them closer to libya. noting just last year, the deadly attack on the diplomatic post in benghazi left four americans dead. we are learning more about another mission in somalia

targeting the suspected terrorist leader. cnn's barbara starr is at the pentagon with more. a lot of moving parts this morning, barbara. >> reporter: absolutely, kate. good morning. that information just in to cnn. the marines are on the move as a precaution to be closer to libya if trouble breaks out. but some after-action reports are coming in that show us new details about both of those commando raids. the mission to secretly enter a hostile town, capture and bring back alive a man known as acream -- ikrima. a man the u.s. believes is planning more attacks. but after the s.e.a.l.s make their way to their target, a heavily defended seaside villa, they are spotted.

a massive firefight breaks out as more and more militants gather. the s.e.a.l.s cannot capture the target, they abort the mission. a top pentagon official insists the s.e.a.l.s were not run off by al shabaab fighters. >> military personnel on this objective during the raid literally went to the door step of this al shabaab terrorist and discovered that there were civilians in the surrounding area. >> reporter: a military source says the s.e.a.l.s also report they saw children at the compound, another factor in ending the raid. and he says there are other u.s. forces nearby to respond if the fight had grown worse. we are also getting a clearer picture of the mission in libya. in tripoli, army delta force commandos in vehicles surround abu anas al libi, a senior al qaeda operative while he is still in his car. his son shows us the vehicle. shattered glass from smashed in windows, the only evidence of a

very different capture mission that was successful and over in moments. cnn has also learned that the delta force and s.e.a.l. team 6 did practice and rehearse missions, of course, in the days and weeks before they went into those two countries. as they were even gathering intelligence and surveying their targets but clearly the s.e.a.l.s did not anticipate the level of opposition in encountering civilians and children. michaela? >> barbara, starr, thank you. foster farms saying that it's working with federal health officials after being identified as the likely source of a salmonella outbreak. hundreds of people in some 18 states have gotten sick so far. all of this happening while food safety workers stay home because of the partial government shutdown. senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen is following the outbreak for us. tell us, elizabeth, what you know about the outbreak. what is being done, where is it

and who's being affected? >> it's mostly in california but 278 people have been ill in 18 states. now, michaela, this is usually the part i say to you, if you have this chicken with these lot numbers which we'll show you in a second, you should throw it away or take it back to the store. in fact that's not what foster farms is saying. they say no recall is in effect, products are safe to consume if properly handled and fully cooked. so foster farms says go ahead and eat it. if you cook it thoroughly and handle it properly. i'll leave it up to our viewers to decide. >> you can imagine folks will make a certain choice. they don't want to take a risk. we just saw a tweet from the cdc director, tom frieden saying he's about 68%, almost 9,000 of his people in the department furloughed. who's left to manage this kind of outbreak? how do they handle this now given the furlough?

>> it's always handled sort of between usda and cdc. cdc are the folks who take a lack at the type of salmonella, is it coming from one product, could it be coming from another? they do that in conjunction with state health departments. the big question is have they been hampered in this investigation because of the furloughs? it's impossible to say. dr. frieden from the cdc does say we are less safe. that's pretty strong. he seems to be saying perhaps things have been slowed down. but we just don't know. could they have identified this product earlier if there hadn't been a furlough? we just don't know. >> he's saying he's losing sleep about the concern. >> right. >> elizabeth cohen, thanks so much. we'll be watching it. folks will have to take the best precaution these can. >> that's right. >> chris, kate? coming up on "new day," did the nfl ignore mounting evidence about concussions? a new documentary suggests the league knew about the dangers for years and did nothing about

it. she endured what she calls nine months of hell. elizabeth smart opening up about the kidnapping, the torture she endured and her life now, dedicated to inspiring and helping others. she is going to be joining us, ahead.

welcome back to "new day," tuesday, october 8th. let's give you a look at your top headlines beginning with a big cleanup under way this morning following a line of severe storms that pounded the northeast and mid-atlantic states. heavy rain, high winds, toppling trees, bringing down power lines, leaving thousands in the

dark for a time. forecasters say it's remnants of tropical storm karen. day eight of the partial government shutdown, nine days until we reach the debt ceiling. senate democrats introduced a long-term $1 trillion debt increase. a new cnn/orc poll show 63% of people blame republicans for the log jam while 57% blame democrats and 53% blame the president. violence and blood shed spiraling out of control in egypt, at least nine egyptian soldiers and police officers reportedly killed in two separate attacks by rebel forces monday. six soldiers gunned down by rebel forces as they sat in a car near a checkpoint at the suez canal. a car bomb exploded near a state security building. an appeals court brewing in favor of an ohio hospital that's trying to force a 10-year-old

amish girl with leukemia to resume treatment. her parents favor using homio pathic remedies instead. the court granting a registered nurse limited guardianship over the girl with the power to make medical decisions for her. and finally, these shoppers having trouble deciding what to grab from the alcoholic beverage aisle. they'll have to settle for mixed drunks. why? because this happened. this happened. >> wait for it. wait for it. >> oh, no! >> apparently the guy stocking shelves stands up to check out his handy work and the whole aisle buckles. >> those bottles fell in exactly the right way to not hurt those two women.

>> they went down. >> they fanned out. >> it was fine. >> good luck. science on his side. speaking of science, the nfl admitted no wrongdoing when it agreed to a nearly $800 million settlement over concussion. you'll remember that back in august. the issue is anybody but settled. a new documentary claimed the league ignored and denied mounting evidence for years, while a growing number of players suffered life-changing injuries. "early start" co-anchor john berman joins us. >> there's a new book being released, accompanied by a new documentary on tonight. they spent nearly two years researching what the nfl new about the risk of permanent brain damage for players and more importantly, what, if anything, can be done about it.

offensive lineman mike webster was a football god, leading the pittsburgh steelers to win four super bowls in the 1970s. >> once you hit full speed and you're moving backwards, you're gone. >> reporter: but once he retired after a career of hitting players at full force again and again, effectively lost his mind. >> he really began to have all sorts of problems, focusing, concentrating, he had anger issues. and then ultimately he dies in 2002. he had really been waging a war believing that football caused his brain damage. and several doctors agreed with him. >> reporter: webster became the first known victim of chronic traumatic encephalopathy or cte, a brain disease that scientists believe is caused by repeated blows to the head and multiple concussions. common in football. >> each time that happens it's around 20g or more. that's the equivalent of driving a car at 35 miles per hour into a brick wall.

1,000 to 1,500 times per year. >> reporter: investigative journalists and brothers, set out to discover what the nfl knew about the risks of permanent brain damage to its players. they say their startling realization was that as scientists issued warnings, the nfl denied there was a problem. >> the league's approach was effectively to deny it or attack those very scientists saying that. >> reporter: just last week, nfl commissioner roger goodell sent an e-mail to 10 million sub vibers on the mafl's mailing list emphasizing the league's safety initiative. saying, we will continue to find ways to protect players so they can enjoy longer careers on the field and healthier lives off the field. and this august, the nfl reached a deal in a class-auction lawsuit to pay $765 million to retired nfl players and their families for concussion-related compensation. >> the issue is not just an nfl issue.

it's a kid's issue. it trickles down to high school and pop warner and the 3 million kids playing and making those decisions based on emerging science and concerns about whether playing football can lead to long-term brain damage. >> reporter: the brothers say the nfl refused to give them an interview or a statement during the course of their reporting. the nfl did give a statement to cnn saying in part, the nfl has made a profound commitment to the health and safety of its players, that can be seen in every aspect of the game and the results have been both meaningful and measurable. the book, "league of denial" hits bookshelves today. the documentary airlines on front line tonight, 9:00 p.m. eastern on tbs. this will continue the debate which has been white hot in youth, high school, pro for the last 2 1/2 years. >> the debate continues. are they reaching conclusions? >> well, the important thing is to figure out what to do going forward. >> right. >> is there anything you can do

to make this, if not perfectly safe, at least safer for these very large men playing pro football and for these kids who aren't so big playing the younger levels. >> safer. perfectly safe. >> big difference between the two. >> thanks so much, john. coming up next on "new day," elizabeth smart's harrowing personal story. her terrifying account of the nine months she was held in captivity and the miracles she found along the way. she's going to join us live. have you seen the new hit movie "gravity"? you'll want to see our discussion. astronauts, no so kind in their reviews. why? what is the science? we'll tell you. i could quit smoking, andk but chantix helped me do it. i told my doctor i think i'm... i'm ready.

welcome back to "new day." getting ready to leave?

hold on a second. let's check in with indra petersons. what are they going to see out there? >> a big difference from yesterday. a lot of people like looking at this map. they show the damage report that exited out of the region. that's the key. it is now off the coast. that's the good piece of news. what do we have in place now? the huge dome of high pressure bringing in cold air from canada. you'll feel this huge difference over the next several days. remember, we were above normal. temperatures are 15, 20 degrees above. we were seeing 70s and 80s out there. we'll now be dropping down to average temperatures today in the upper 60s. eventually we'll start dropping down to below average. low 60s by the middle of the week. that's what we're expecting here in the northeast. take a look at the lows overnight. frost advisories, 30s overnight tonight in upstate new york and through vermont. you'll feel the chill. down in the southeast, the tail end of the storm spawned up a low. it will hug the coastline over the next several days. the reason is matters? if it's hugging the coastline, it will bring in the moisture.

we'll be talking about rain and a good amount. eventually making its way up into the mid-atlantic. we talk about rain even in the northeast by the end of the weekend. kate? >> indra, thank you so much. taken from her bed at knife point, elizabeth smart was 14 years old when she was taken from her salt lake city home, forced to endure nine months of starvation, emotional and physical abuse at the hands of her kidnappers. the world watched as elizabeth was eventually rescued and returned to her family. now more than a decade later, elizabeth is revealing more details than ever in her new book "my story." great to see you. thanks for coming in this morning. >> thank you for having me. >> of course. it's been ten years, more than ten years since you were kidnapped. why now? why come out to tell your story? >> i thought a lot about it but one of the main reasons why i wanted to write this book is because i have had the incredible opportunity to go around and speak around the country to different groups.

every time i've spoken to a different group, there's always been at least one person to come forward and say, i was raped or i was kidnapped or i've never been able to talk about this before but this happened to me when i was a child. and that just breaks my heart. it makes me sick. then to go on and think about the one in four girls and one in six boys are sexually abused before they're 18. that's staggering. so when i was considering writing a book, this played a real big fact near it because i wanted to be able to reach out to these survivors and reach out to these victims and help them know it is terrible. it's not fair. it's terrible what happens, but that you can come back. >> you're not alone. >> yes, you're not alone. you can move forward, reclaim your life and become the person you want to be. >> many sit here and the world, the country watched and waited for your return and has followed

your story. many would think, man, i would want to run as far away from this as possible. you stopped to record it and relive it. was it painful to do? >> i have seen the very worst of humanity. but with that being said, i've been back and been able to meet different people, i have seen the very best of humanity as well. and i know where i am in my life today and i am so happy with my life today, i know my ending. and so with that being said, the writing process wasn't as hard as it otherwise would be because i do have a happy ending. i do know what has taken place in my life since i was kidnapped. >> that's an amazing amount of perspective. you go into great detail in this book. were there some details that were too painful to include that should stay only with elizabeth? >> when i wrote my book i wanted

it to be as real as it could possibly be. i wanted it to be as if the reader was right there with me because i'm not doing anyone any favors by sugar coating anything. had i omitted 90% of the details, other survivors, other victims might feel cheated. they might be like, well, nothing really happened, did it? and i'm still alone. so when i decided to write this book, i wanted it to be 100%. everything that is put in the book i have thought so much about and i have worked so hard on it. i mean, it is as accurate as i could make it. >> and in the interviews i've heard you speak about this. one way you describe your time in captivity really stuck with me. you said your days were filled really with three things during those nine months, boredom, hunger and with rape. you write in great detail about

the sexual abuse that you endured. why did you want to go into detail about that? many would think, that part, maybe i don't want to include or i don't want to go into detail about. >> i thought a lot about it. i really did. but i did go through it. and i did survive it. and that one in four and one in six, they also go through it. and they need to know they could survive it and that they're not any less of a person, that they're not any less of a human being, that their value hasn't been decreased and that they can still be whoever they want to be. that's why i included that. >> you are so strong and you're doing this because you want to help people. you want to inspire people. but when you look back at just some of the details of your book, everyone will remember that you write about, you wake up in the middle of the night in 2002, there's a man standing over you with a knife to your throat. even today, do you still feel

that terror? do you still feel that fear that you experienced as a young girl? >> no. i don't. >> good. >> i don't. that happened and it was the scariest moment of my life. i remember waking up and feeling like this couldn't happen, how could this strange man break into the safest place in the world, to me, but it did happen. it was terrible. it was absolutely horrendous. but coming back, the morning after i was rescued, my mom gave me the best piece of advice. i tried to follow her advice. i'm not perfect at it. >> nobody is. >> who is. >> especially when it's their mom telling them. what this man has done to you are terrible. there aren't words strong enough to describe how wicked and evil he is. he has stolen nine months of your life from you that you will never get back but the best thing you could do is to be happy, to move forward and live

your life the way you want to. because by feeling sorry for yourself and using this as a crutch throughout the rest of your life, you're only giving him more time and he doesn't deserve another second. >> one thing to be able to get that advice but to be able to internalize it and live by that advice shows a strength in character. i think people are watching, you are so comfortable and you are so strong. i know people will want to know, how did you get here? especially how did you get to a place of being able to trust again? because very few people live through that kind of trauma. >> well, i had had so much taken from me. i remember while i was kidnapped it was thanksgiving and we were out in san diego. we were walking along and i saw an elder couple walking along the boardwalk. they were holding hands and they look contented with their life with each other. i remember as they walked by me,

i just felt like, i will never have that. that has been stolen from me. i will never have that happiness in my life. and so when i came back, when i was rescued, i felt like i had been given a second chance at life. i felt like everything that had been stolen from me was being given back. i have the opportunity to date, to get a license, to go to school, to find someone i really love and grow old with them. >> you're married now. >> yes. >> i think everyone would love hearing that. what is next for elizabeth smart? >> i love so much of what i'm doing right now. i love speaking. i love working with incredible, incredible people, trying to make a difference. that's what i've been doing the last couple years that's what i plan on continuing doing. >> it has been quite a journey. not one that you have chosen but one that you've handled with a remarkable amount of grace and courage. your book is called "my story."

elizabeth, great to have you with us. >> thank you for having me. >> chris, over to you. "gravity" getting praised by audiences and critics but not by astronauts and physicists. why? turns out it's science. wow...look at you. i've always tried to give it my best shot. these days i'm living with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. at first, i took warfarin, but i wondered, "could i up my game?" my doctor told me about eliquis. and three important reasons to take eliquis instead. one, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three... unlike warfarin, there's no routine blood testing. [ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke.

eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i've got three important reasons to up my game with eliquis. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you.

i love how good our producers are at picking music for the show. disaster in space leaving two astronauts drifting in the

infinite abyss. it has more than just the critics talking. an actual nasa astronaut. real pleasure to have you here, two shuttle missions, space sch a thrill to have you here. >> my pleasure. thanks for having me. >> first of all, i know you love the movie. two of all space movies you've seen. >> what was number one? >> "space balls." >> i wasn't going in that direction, but "right stuff." >> fair enough. fair enough. >> feeling old. >> scientific community not necessarily loving the film. i want to show you a tweet from renowned physicist. good guy. he's concerned we feel more about science fiction more than we enjoy actual people in real

space. what do you make of this tweet? does he have a point? >> i think he does. if you really want to learn science, you may need to go to school than watch a movie. the movie can inspire you. you won't get college credit, but he has an interesting point. there are exciting things going on in space. we do have people on the space station. during my own space walk, my wife was going to my kid's little league game while i was walking in space. if you just show exactly what we do, you don't get too many people coming to the movies. >> they upped the drama. >> that's what this movie is being held out for, that it's closer than normal. >> the thing that amazed me, chris, you look at a movie a different way when you know something about the topic. >> sure. >> exactly.

>> i wasn't paying attention to what sandra bullock was doing, but looking behind her head at my tools. i saw a cutter tool that i used on my flight. i told my wife, that's where it is. i was wondering what happened to my cutter tool. it had number eight on it. i called it yogi berra. so they did the exact -- i think what the director did was watched our hubble i-max movie. that's a real space documentary kind of movie and i think they studied that and they wanted to make it as accurate as possible from that standpoint. >> the question on everyone's mind -- >> yeah? >> what happens in this movie, could this happen in real life? >> i'm glad you brought that up. the other thing it shows on a serious point is that space a dangerous business. >> yeah, it is. >> that is a bad day on steroids. >> bad day. >> really bad day. we practice things like -- maybe

not that big. >> you practice for disasters? >> we practice for disasters. >> sure. >> one of the first meetings we had as space walker was we've lost people in space. very dangerous thing we're going to do is space walk, make sure we take care of each other, double-check everything, make sure everyone is buttoned up and everybody comes home. micrometeor impact or debris getting you is something we practice in the water, practice rescuing each other. you have to demonstrate that before you can go. we think about it all the time in our training but try not to dwell on it. >> because the fact is that you have wives and little league practice you need to get home for. >> that's right. >> this will hopefully inspire a whole new generation, astronauts. >> i hope it will. >> what a pleasure to have you here. >> nice to meet you. >> of course, no natural advanta advantage. >> chris couldn't even pronounce

my name. >> mass -- mass -- >> mike, thanks for being with us. astronaut on set, how could you go wrong? when we come back on "new day," no closer to ending the gridlock in washington. we'll speak about it with bobby jindal, possible republican candidate for president in 2016. what is he going to say about the situation? does he have a solution? maybe we need to keep massimino. >> it ain't rocket science. >> that's a good one! and you brush it away, you know, then it's gone. i would recommend that they brush with pronamel. they don't need to cut out those foods but you can make some smart choices.

lawmakers in washington probably could get a copy and read it. author of yankee doodle dandy joins us live. vicious storm leaving thousands of people without power. dangerous storms ripped down power lines and trees. the winds and rain are said to be leftover from tropical storm karen. let's get more on this wild weather. >> this is unbelievable. this is the same storm system that brought the record-breaking blizzard in south dakota. then, remember, it went into the midwest, spawned tornadoes in north dakota and crews in the northeast and midatlantic, bringing hundreds of reports of damage right along with it. powerful storm hit the east coast monday with high winds and torrential rain. in jacksonville, florida, knee-deep waters forced residents to use other means of transportation. some helping stranded drivers. >> got out of the jeep and

started pushing. and luckily someone else came up and started helping me. >> the driver flooded with emotion. >> there's water in my car. everything is just done. got caught right there. >> the storms, swift but strong, left destruction in its path. >> all i saw was a cloud of green leaves and then that was -- the tree came down. >> virginia driver left from his damaged car unscathed. further up the coast in new jersey, a man survived a close call inside his home. >> the ceiling caved in from the tree. and it missed him by six, seven inches. >> reporter: the winds so powerful that they knocked out service for thousands of residents up and down the east coast. >> the rain came extremely hard, straight down. went, wow, look at that. next thing, almost immediately, everything was just blowing. >> reporter: in the aftermath of the storm, downed trees littered the streets. just check out this gigantic tree that crashed on to this

home. >> it's crazy. the tree has been around since i was like 6 years old. and, i mean, i can't believe the size of the hole that's in there. >> it's very easy to see all the reports of damage that made their way across as that squall line exited. good news is that it has exited. we'll give you the latest coming up. >> thank you so much. we want to talk about the government shutdown now, talking about storms that haven't lifted. now on day eight. people aren't happy about it. new poll shows two-thirds of the country thinks the shutdown will cause major problems for us or even worse than major problems. meanwhile, the president is still pushing for a vet on a clean bill to restore the government. and house speaker john boehner is still refusing, saying the president won't compromise. with another crisis on the horizon, this one lawmakers can't fix by themselves. the nation's debt limit. brianna keilar is live at the white house. it's a tall task, but you can just give us the latest. >> reporter: i'll tackle it, chris. until now, the house and senate

have been tossing back and forth these bills that are aimed very much at funding the government. that changes today. the senate moving on, trying to avoid a disastrous default as we inch uncomfortably close to the debt ceiling. ramping up the pressure on house republicans, senate democrats will introduce a bill today that would increase the debt ceiling for more than a year. the goal? push this hot potato issue beyond the 2014 mid-term elections. the bill has no strings attached. no agreement to change obama care, no budgetary bartering. >> i cannot do that under the threat that if republicans don't get 100% of their way they're either going to shut down the government or they're going to default on america's debt. >> reporter: the president still says he won't bargain with the country's ability to pay its bills. >> the president's refusal to negotiate is hurting our economy and putting our country at risk.

>> reporter: house speaker john boehner insists a debt ceiling increase without some concessions from the white house will never get past his republicans. he says the same about a government funding bill. though democrats question that. >> one sure-fire way to find out whether the bill would pass is to have a vote on it. >> reporter: only one thing is for certain. americans are not impressed, especially with republicans. in a new cnn/orc international poll, 63% of those surveyed blame the gop for the shutdown. 57% point the finger at democrats and 53% hold president obama accountable. eight days into the partial government shutdown, nine days from breaching the debt ceiling, here are some ways this could play out, a long-term proposal, like what the senate is taking up. if that doesn't fly, there could be a short-term measure to buy time. or both sides could keep talking past each other until the u.s.

defaults. and there's bipartisan agreement that would be an economic disaster. and we are already setting up for a cliff hanger. we expect the first vote in the senate to be on saturday. kate, the final vote could come as late as wednesday. thursday is the day we're expected to hit the debt ceiling. you've covered washington. i know you're not really surprised that if we do manage to avoid a default, we may be hitting our heads on the debt ceiling before this is all resolved. >> oh, yes. we can only hope that a deadline, if nothing else, will negotiate some kind of deadline. you know that better than anybody, brianna. >> that's right. >> bobby jindal of louisiana. that's the thing that trips me up? also chairman of the governor's association. thank you so much for being here. >> it's early in the morning. people understand. >> exactly. but i should know better, right? i was thinking about this this morning. governors have to be reasonable. you have to keep your state

functioning. you have to work within your budget. you are very responsible for voters. from the outside looking in, how do you think your republican colleagues in congress are handling this fight? >> two things. i'm certainly not interested in trying to micromanage or second guess their tactics. >> of course not. >> you make a very important point. governors every day, we live under the rules where we do have to balance our budget. we can't print more money or borrow money. republican governors, we want to reclaim our brand from washington, d.c. we think voters are just frustrated with the dysfunction. for too many years we've outsourced what it means to be a republican. we defined that in washington, d.c. only place in this country you're seeing conservative principles being applied are in our state capitals, charter schools, fighting to reform public pensions so they're affordable, renegotiate with public unions to balance taxpayer rights, growing our private sector economy, that's what we need to be focused on. part of the frustration with d.c., we're not seeing

leadership out of the white house. but you also need structural changes. it's not just who is in congress. they're going to continue to kick the can down the road. everybody is worried about the debt ceiling. the real issue is the debt. we were in the same place two years ago and nothing has changed. >> republicans in congress are not necessarily helping the effort to rebrand. all of washington is dysfunctional. it's not just a matter of who is in leadership but look at the poms we have out today. it shows that still -- it continues to look this way, republicans in congress will face the blame since the government has shut down and if this crisis continues. that has to concern you. >> look, nobody wants a shutdown. certainly nobody wants to get to a position where the government isn't paying its bills. the president needs to show leadership. last time we had these intense negotiations, you had a democratic president, republican congress, you got the welfare reform legislation. president clinton vetoed that

twice but found common ground with congress. republican-governor led states where he said there's a better way to deliver these benefits, that's the kind of common ground, kind of leadership we need today. we're not seeing that. let's say they kick the can down the road again and figure out a way to get down the debt ceiling, the relate is that problems aren't going away. then senator obama said $9 trillion of debt was immoral, too high. now it's nearly $17 trillion. we're spending more than we take in. the administration doesn't have one planned budget short term, near term, long term. >> that's the problem, washington only functions going kroisz to crisis to crisis. house speaker john baneer did not want this fight. he has wanted to deal with the big drivers, long-term drivers of our debt. he wanted to avoid a government shutdown. how they got to where they are right now is the group of conservatives in the house, they pushed this position. and that's where they are right

now. do you think house republicans overplayed their hand? a lot of this is about policy, but it is also about strategy when it comes to politics. >> we have enough republicans criticizing republicans. >> you've done that, too, in the past. you know that. >> we need structural damages. i don't mean to insult my kids but it's almost like kids and homework. you have a week to do a report. it all seems to happen the night before. congress in d.c. -- >> do you think it will get done? >> i thenk it will get done but we need structural changes. i don't think they'll confront the tough decisions about balancing the budget until they absolutely have to. they need the pressure and structural reforms. make them have a balanced budget amendment in the constitution, require a supermajority to write its taxes, before they can grow the government faster than the economy, term limits, make them a part-time congress. all those we have in the constitution in louisiana. they will work in d.c. it doesn't matter the personalities, who is in

leadership. >> the big problem is if nothing else there's a huge trust deficit. john king and i feel like that's what we talk about every day in our gut check. the two sides do not trust each other to get past the sxwriesz deal with the long-term problems. >> you're exactly right. >> we're in the middle of a crisis, no question about that. do you think that in the absence of actual negotiating at this point when you're up against these deadlines that the house should pass or, how about this? the house should allow a vote on a clean funding bill? >> let's say you did that. this is exactly what happened two years ago. we were told two years ago that there will be time to address the entitlement programs and spending and the debt and nothing changed. here is my concern. >> so no? >> my concern is everybody is focused on the crisis of what's happening today. this is bad. >> you have to deal with it. >> we've got to deal with the bigger issues. >> agreed. >> if we don't, the real issue is we're spending more money -- our debt is bigger than our economy. at some point we can't just keep

printing money and keep borrowing from china and others. at some point we can't keep spending. at some point we have to grow the private sector economy. >> at some point you're going to hit this deadline and that some point is next week. what do you think will happen if we pass that deadline? do you agree with economists that it will be catastrophic? >> i'm not advocating that we not pay our bills or our debt. the president needs to show leadership. he needs to stop saying it's my way or the highway. he needs to say to congress, let's find common ground. we all got elected by the american public. the president is not running for re-election. he needs to stop thinking like a partisan leader and start thinking like the american president that he is and start saying what's good for the american economy? the public is saying it's like we've watched this movie before. >> we have. >> that's right. they'll be right back here again in we only get a short-term solution. >> the republican colleagues in

operation fast and furious, calling it bad for morale. federation behind that book says he wants to set the record straight. we will talk with mr. john dobson exclusively. miguel marquez has the back story for you. >> this morning, new controversy surrounding the government program fast and furious after

the government tells bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms that he cannot publish his already written book, an insider's look into the botched program. >> the guns that we saw these individuals by would begin turning up at crime scenes in the united states and in mexico and yet we still did nothing. >> the book is written by john doddson who turned whistleblower over the 2009 program, allowing 2,000 guns to cross into mexico. but authorities lost track of hundreds of weapons. some winding up in the hands of drug cartels. >> rather than meet the wolf head on, we sharpened his teeth, all the while sat idly by watching, tracking and noting. >> reporter: most explosively, two of those lost guns turned up at the scene of border patrol agent brian terry's murder in 2010, still unclear whether either of those guns delivered the lethal shot.

reaching national proportion with republicans holding attorney general eric holder in contempt over the white house's refusal to turn over documents. >> we've produced 7600. >> look, i don't want to hear about the 7600. >> superiors at atf told doddson by letter that his book could have a negative impact on his field in phoenix and detrimental effect on atf with other governmental agencies. atf decision denies doddson his constitutional right to free spee speech, the aclu says. >> american civil liberties union attorney lee rolan. mr. doddson, you say here that we didn't meet the wolf head on. what do you want people to know

about the operation, what it was supposed to be and how it went wrong? what's your message? >> well, i guess what i want people to know is a lot more detail and a lot more clear understanding of the operation. it wasn't so much that weapons were lost, that they escaped us. we zigged when we should have zagged and they got away from us. it was the design of the operation, the methodology and the strategy that was employed that was in error from the beginning. that's a lot of what i don't think people understand. >> and why do you think your bosses don't want this book to come out? >> well, i can tell you, there's a lot in the book that hasn't been publicly reported on yet. also more in-depth -- what i try to do is make it to where people can understand it more rather than just sound bites and, you know, books on radar. the narrative makes it more comprehendible or more understandable to get through.

but i think the main reason, like they said in their denial letter to me, which they think it's harmful for morale and potentially detrimental to atf's relationships with other federal agencies. >> do you think there's anything to that? >> no, i don't. i don't think the book or anything in it could cause either one of those. i think what happened, what we were doing, what the agency was doing, phoenix field division, operation itself, i think that is what is harmful for morale. i think that is what is a detriment to not only our relationships with other federal agencies but our relationships with the american people and their trust in us. to blame all that or to put that blame on the book or the manuscript, to me, is absurd when it's the actions, it's the program, it was what we did to cause that damage. in the right context, the book and everything else could be used to help rebuild that. atf refuses to do so. they would still just rather

move on and put all this behind them and try to pretend like it would never happen and hope that you and all your viewers out there will forget about it or have done so already. >> is your problem with what the operation was conceived as or how it was executed? >> well, that's a tough question. if you're using the definition of conceived as, the goal, the strategy, was to take down a cartel. i agree with that goal. the problem was the implementation on how it was done or the strategy employed to do that. it didn't make sense. somehow, how do you explain the logic of, well, in order to combat firearms trafficking, we're going to facilitate, allow and perhaps even traffic firearms ourselves. how does that solve the problem? >> was there a lot of pushback from agents out in the field? did you feel you were being compromised doing your job? is that how people felt? >> yes, sir, we didn't feel like

we were doing our jobs at all. the reason i came to phoenix in 2009 was to combat firearms trafficking. it was the southwest border initiative and it was billed as or sold to us as a chance to come out here and finally take the fight to the enemy rather than being so reactive in law enforcement, a chance to be proactive. and when we got here, we weren't doing the basic fundamentals of law enforcement. we weren't, you know, making those interviews or making those stops and seizures and arrests or anything like that. it was a far different goal. it's something i wasn't used to and had never seen before. >> obviously your decision means you think you can put the book out and still stay as an agent. any thought to waiting and just doing it after you retire? >> well, some thought to that, yes. one of the motivations behind doing the book is not only to bring a lot of this to the attention of the american public, but the terry family and there are countless families who

are victims of crimes perpetrated by some of these firearms. there are still so many answers that they don't have and that they need and feel that they're deserved. anything i can do to keep attention on that, on the terry foundation and the family, to help them in their quest to get answers, i'll willing to do. and also it's important to me that everything i have been through and everything that's happened throughout the course of this, if there's anything that my story can do to help someone else in my position, other federal employee or agent or police officer that finds himself in a position where something has gone terribly askew, anything that my story can do to help them to be able to come forward and blow the whistle or report that kind of wrong wrongdoing, then it's worth telling. >> i know you have your lawyer with you. you're expecting a first amendment battle here. you have a tough choice going forward. we hope to follow up on this story with the book coming out. thank you very much, mr. dodson

that i'm sorry. >> reporter: ohio attorney general mike dewine promised a thorough investigation. >> this community needs assurance that no stone has been left unturned in our search for the truth. >> reporter: on monday, the first arrest and indictment from the ongoing investigation. 53-year-old william rhineman, steubenville schools director of technology faces four counts, including perjury and obstruction, being held without bail and could not be reached for comment. details of his indictment were not immediately available. social media brought the case national attention, including vulgar tweets. song of the night is definitely rape me by nirvana said one. and this shocking video, mocking the victim. >> if that was my daughter, i don't care. i would just let her be dead. >> reporter: since the trial, investigators have conducted searches at the high school,

school district office and technology company. victim's attorney told cnn this considers the importance of those responsible for reporting after a crime has been committed against a child. >> the school superintendent says he is aware of the situation but did not want to comment when we asked him late monday. he said they will be putting out a press release today. kate, when this verdict came in, the attorney general said 16 people refused to talk to us in our initial investigation, thus the grand jury. so there could be more indictments the grand jury will reconvene at the end of october. >> one good thing is that the investigation did not end and they continue to look into that. >> absolutely. >> poppy, thank you so much. send it over to chris. we'll take a quick break here. when we come back on "new day," captain phillips, more fiction than fact? some of the crew members, that's exactly what they say. we'll tell you about the controversy brewing around this movie when we come back.

welcome back to "new day." the new tom hanks movie is getting rave reviews, but also taking heat. it tells the story of the maersk alabama, taken hostage by pirates. the captain was taken hostage, later being hailed as a hero. some crew members are speaking out saying the movie gets it all wrong. drew griffin is at the center of that. >> while that movie heads to theaters this week, several members of the captain's crew are getting ready to head to court, a case alleging that it was the captain himself who, far from the hero, may have actually led his crew directly into trouble. allegations we first confronted captain phillips with when he was on a book tour in 2010. as their captain was being lauded as a hero, the crew of

maersk alabama watched and bit their tongues no more. >> we vowed we were going to take it to our grave. we weren't going to say anything. then we hear this pr stuff coming out about him giving himself up. he's still hostage. and the whole crew is like, what? everybody is in shock. >> back in 2010, the alabama's chief engineer, mike perry, told us he and most of the crew couldn't believe the story being painted about their captain, captain richard phillips, that he had given himself up in exchange for the safety of his crew. left out of the entire story, says perry, is the captain's recklessness that steered the maersk alabama into pirate-infested waters. according to crew members, captain phillips on a voidage set a course to save money. that route would shorten the trip and, according to third engineer john cronin, put the

crew directly in harm's way. >> he was advised to change course by competent deck officers and he overruled them. stay on course. make our easy a. stay on the same course. >> reporter: in a 2010 interview, captain richard phillips told us he was not used to criticism. when cnn confronted him with these e-mails and his crews' concerns, he said it was the first time his judgment had been questioned. >> the complaint is that there were specific e-mails sent to your ship, stressing the need to go further out to sea. >> yeah. something like that, we'll deal with that in the unit they wish, and that's court. that's what this is based on. >> is it true? >> that there were warnings -- i don't know what authorities he's talking about. he doesn't say. >> i have the e-mails. >> yeah. >> you've seen the e-mails. >> i haven't since i've been on the ship. >> but you were warned to go

further out to sea? >> warned to stay clear of an area. >> the captain is now a witness in a contentious lawsuit between some of the crew and the shipping company. in a deposition just last year, captain phillips admitted he did, indeed, receive the e-mail warnings. he also admits he kept the warnings to himself. asked by a plaintiff's attorney why he didn't move further offshore, phillips testifies i don't believe 600 miles would make you safe. i didn't believe 1200 miles would make you safe. phillips told us much of the criticism is driven by human nature and by lawsuits filed by members of his crew. he also says the story itself was fueled by a press that wanted a hero, a captain who saved his crew, a good story and now a movie. >> four pirates on board. four pirates. >> the media got everything wrong. i don't know how i could control this when i'm in a lifeboat and the media is saying i gave

myself up for it. in the book, if you read it -- have you read that book? >> i read it. >> you know i didn't give myself up. i was already a hostage by then. >> to his credit, chris and kate, when we interviewed the captain, he said he never called himself nor considered himself a hero. the real heroes, he said, were the navy s.e.a.l.s who rescued him and his crew. that case goes to trial in december. >> no controversy about the s.e.a.l.s. drew, thank you very much for the reporting. appreciate it. >> how about a little good stuff? >> please. >> tuesday edition. when it comes to helping people, all it takes is a little magic. stewart edge was surprised to learn just how little pizza delivery drivers make. well below minimum wage. did you know that? especially once you figure in they have to use their own car and all the expense that goes along with it. if they don't get decent tips, tough situation say the least. stewart came up with a new tip, turning five singles into five

20s. needless to say, it's magical. >> you made it work. so, here you go. 20, 40, $100. >> that's awesome. >> yeah. it is pretty awesome. no, no. i'm sure you can use it. >> definitely. >> wait. are you serious? >> yeah. >> it's not going to change back to ones on me when i'm driving home? >> maybe it will change to hundreds. that would be cool. >> i feel like i owe you something now definitely. >> no. you gave me the pizza. >> he did get his pizza. make sure of that. all of those tips come out of stewart's own pocket. october is national pizza month. so, remember your delivery drivers and tip them if you feel so suited. >> he eats a lot of pizza. >> put on 45 pounds in the process but it was for a good cause. have you to remember, there are a lot of people working today who aren't making a lot of money. that's one of the things we talk about all the time. recognizing people out there working hard, not getting a lot

for it. good on stewart. >> xwreets guy in d.c. >> did you tip him? >> hey! >> i knew your source was questionable. >> here comes the bus. and now you're being thrown under it. man. spoke with newt gingrich earlier, but who better to get the word than his wife, callista gingrich will be talking about her new book. i was made to work.

our nation. we look at sol of our founders like george washington, thomas jefferson, benjamin franklin, we realize the challenges they endured, their periods of frustration and defeat and yet they managed to establish a nation where all men and women are created equal and our young people today need to be introduced to these patriotic heroes and the remarkable revolution they led and learn about how we did become a free nation. >> many great writers take experiences from their own lives to inform their writing. who is ellis, the character, based off of? >> well, ellis, the elephant -- >> i don't see too much resemblance to newt. >> political pachyderm that he is. >> there you go. i needed a unique character to capture the attention of small children. i considered many animals, and in the end i couldn't resist this wonderful little elephant, ellis. i've been blessed to work with a

wonderful il administrator, susan, who has really brought ellis to life. >> you have one of the keys i've lrned to helping the kids absorb anything t rhymes. >> absolutely. >> the book rhymes. and that cannot be underestimated in terms of getting kids to focus on something. they get the rhythm. >> that's right. >> that's good. >> that's the challenge. you have a very limited amount of text. you want to convey a particular story, convey a specific value and do it in two verses in rhyme. >> because you have a very limited attention span. >> that's right. >> you're working with. >> so, callista, i'm working at ellis here in the book. some will ask, an elephant? what about donkey parents? can donkey parents read the ellis the elephant stories to children? is it for everybody? >> absolutely. this book is about patriotism and our nation's humble beginnings. it's not meant to be a conservative book or republican book but a pro-american book.

i hope many families will see it as a celebration of patriotism and our nation. >> when did you begin writing the book? >> this is the third in the series. i've been doing this for about two years. >> i was thinking about the fact that you went and did your kiddie congress really. kids have more of a sense of things. you were showing us that example, reminding us of that example. you feel that kids are open and excited and enthralled by our history. >> absolutely. they're eager to learn. i was reminded of this as i went to many libraries and schools during the campaign and after, you know. they're hungry for information. >> yeah, they are. >> and we owe it to our kids to give them the tools that they need to appreciate the greatness of america at an early age. >> off topic, but still important, what do you think of "crossfire"? >> i love it. i really think it's going to be an educational and entertaining show. >> do you spar with newt over politics at home? do you help him prepare for

this? >> we don't spar over politics, but other things. >> laundry, taking out the garbage, like any other couple? >> exactly. >> the show is great but newt should be alone? come on. families are always that way. >> no. newt is glad to be part of the "crossfire" team and we're excited about this opportunity. >> we're glad to have him, and you with this book. >> callista's husband, newt, of course, is a colleague of ours, co-host of "crossfire." can you give the plug of the next appearance when he is on? >> i believe he's on this evening. >> she's like, i'm the last to know, because our schedules are completely off, like any good marriage. >> thank you callista. thank you for bringing the book. >> thank you for having me. two years ago, brian vickers suffered a medical emergency off the track. now he is using his experience to help others. here is cnn's joe carter with his story. >> reporter: at the start of the
