thank you for joining is. have a great night and we will see you here tomorrow. ♪ lou: good evening, everybody. tragedy's tracking the nation's capital today after at least one gunman went on a shooting spree after -- at the historic u.s. navy yard in southeast washington d.c. tell people were killed. a dozen others injured. the suspected gunman was shot and killed. he has been identified as erin alexis of fort worth, texas, a former naval reservist. authorities are still or searching for another possible accomplice who may have been disguised in a military-style uniform. early authorities were looking for two other suspects, but they found one of them and ruled him out as a person of interest.

full coverage of the shooting rampage here tonight. also, we will be bringing you a live report about what federal health officials now classify as an urgent threat to the health of all americans. the centers for disease control have issued a landmark report estimating for the first time ever how many people died from drug-resistant bacteria each year. the numbers are truly startling. john roberts will have that report from the centers for disease control. and clearing skies in colorado have given officials a first look at the devastation after a week of torrential rain and what some have called the local flooding. at least seven people are known dead. more than 600 people are unaccounted for. more than 1,000 people remain stranded, needing to be rescued. the rain and flooding destroyed or damaged some 19,000 homes. the latest on what is now the largest aerial rescue operation

since hurricane katrina. in the latest from wall street where today the dow jones industrials rallied. the dow up triple digits after former treasury secretary larry summers took himself out of the running to lead the federal reserve. investors are interpreting the results of this withdrawal to be continued easing money policies and the rally ensued. we begins tonight with the tense day long drama after u.s. navy command complex in our nation's capital. shocks -- shots rang out. eyewitnesses describe a six-foot tall ball african american carrying an ar-15 semiautomatic rifle. he was later identified as air alexis, a former sailor who is to test from service and to those 11. washington d.c. mayor vincent gray acknowledged that no one

knows what could have led to the shocking tragedy or how many people are involved. >> many people have asked us whether we think that there is terrorism involved. we don't know what the motive is at this stage. obviously we will continue to seek information about what the motive is, but we don't have any reason at this stage to suspect terrorism. certainly it has not been ruled out. lou: this is the worst shooting rampage since last december's massacre. twenty children and six adults were killed. this is also the deadliest on the u.s. military installation since 13 people were killed at fort hood taxes in 2009. as mayor gray said, the motive behind today's shooting remains unknown. survivors and relatives of those killed at fort hood say today's attack at the navy yard brings back tough memories for them. many of those families still

petitioning the government to change the classification of that shooting from an act of workplace violence to a terrorist attack in order to receive more benefits and combat rent--- combat-related pay. president obama forced to address today's tragedy. the fifth anniversary of the start of the great recession. the president expressed sympathy before going ahead with the speech containing deep partisan attacks against republicans ahead of next month's budget and debt ceiling deadlines. fox news chief white house correspondent ed henry has our report. >> it was supposed to be yet another pivot. this time trying to shift away from syria. although with a mass shooting at the navy are delaying his remarks briefly, the demint -- the event became a tribute to the victims with the pit into a series of attacks on republicans >> we will do everything in our power to make sure whoever

carried out this cowardly act is ld responsible. in the meantime we send our thoughts and prayers to all at the navy yard you have been touched by this tragedy. >> after a brief mention of syria the president marked the fifth anniversary of the financial crisis by unleashing a series of attacks alleging republicans are not focused on growing the economy at this moment. >> i say at the moment because i am sttll open that a light bulb goes off here. some of these folks really so beholden to one extreme wing of their party that they're willing to take the entire economy just because they cannot get their way on this issue. >> the president managed to work in an attack on mitt romney over health care. >> an issue in last year's election, and the candidate to call for repeal lost. >> today about the town of those remarks in the middle of an active manhunt. the white house did not consider calling off the speech and said it was appropriate to keep the

pressure on republicans over the looming budget crisis. >> they insisted on a process whereby budgets were passed in the senate and house and now republicans have blocked the process of reconciliation. >> the bigger challenge is heat from his own party. house democrats who defied him over his push to get congressional approval for military action against syria to senate democrats who are intent on blocking the potential nomination of larry summers, prompting him to abruptly pulled out of consideration for the chairmanship of the federal reserve. an urgency in just over the last half-hour or so. two or three loud pops heard on the north lawn of the white house. you probably see some of those pictures. the secret service took this seriously. many officers with guns drawn. torras ceiling after they heard a loud noise which sounded like gunshots. the secret service spokesman as telling us that it was some sort of fireworks, firecrackers turn over the fence toward the

residence. bottom line is the lawn is still cleared out of an abundance of caution. the secret service investigates to make sure that there are no weapons. there is one person who is in custody. lou: there is every reason for an abundance of caution. thank you very much. clear and convincing evidence that chemical weapons were used during an attack and syria last month. the report fails to point and just to launch the attack. that report comes after a weekend agreement between u.s. and russian emissaries to and the syrian chemical weapon program. joining me now former federal prosecutor. the prosecution of the 1993 world trade center bombings and former pentagon official katie

mcfarland. let's start with the weekend agreement. your reaction? >> i think obama was bailout. it will be at a price. we have yet to seehat that is. at a minimum is going to be the syrian leader stays in power. what concerns me in the immediate sense is what president obama is down in this agreement about syria is to say we are not going to use force. the united states defers the use of force until something comes out. so in effect what we have done is outsourced the decision on whether to use force. i think this is where the big price is, what happens. the important meeting is happening. the iranians and russians are sitting down and there will talk about the air defense system. why this is important is it becomes more less and vulnerable

to an israeli attack. let's say this all syrian thing strings out for nine months to a year. by then russia will have delivered this it defense system and he wants syria. at the end of all of this. >> the deal has always been preposterous. it was never real to begin with. the russians are probably among the worst violators of the chemical weapons convention in terms of what they declared, in terms of the fact that after all of these years they have not destroyed with the said that there were going to destroy and that they are suspected of proliferating. that is to you have put in charge -- not you, lou. that is to the president has basically indulge their idea of putting in charge of whether they're client cleans up its act. i must say, i continue to think this whole thing was a pretext. obama want to jump in on the

side of the so-called rebels who are rife with muslim brotherhood he could not make a straight face case. he sees on the chemical weapons thing and this phony red line which turns out not to be a red line about something that is an inteational norm the terms of not to be such a norm. lou: not the norm, not a standard as being enforced by the international community whether the institution is nato or the united nations. time magazine 34 in editions, on the cover. let's show everyone. it is fascinating to me. we will start with what you see there. america is weak, russia is resurgent and does not care what

anyone thinks. the story on paying college athletes. it is sort of interesting to see what time magazine thinks of its readers. >> this is time magazine. and i'm paid political announcements perry made fun of the united states, made fun of two presidents of the united states and at the end it enveloped a guide to say that he was on his side. i found that that was just preposterous. somehow running an alternative version of events. >> but it was going to the new york times in particular because the only repeat what has been written in the new york times fell last what you're 30 years. that was -- but the mainstream media has gone from being a mere cheerleader for the democrats on the left actually being an abject. this is one of the most blatant

examples, but it is hardly the only one. lou: this is that time magazine cover, frankly eliminating. it's a very clear that they do not want to tell the american people what has happened. president obama and his negotiation has moved to primacy in the middle east has initiated he has right now far more standing than president obama has are likely as a lame duck his foreign policy is at best eroding if not utterly in shambles and has no chance to recover. >> if you are in the middle east right now, a dictator, potentate, who are you going to trust? he has supported the warwick and pulled the rug out. so he had a libyan dictatorship and distorted. syria. the reformer. then he had to go. the red line command now we are

negotiating. i think you are right. the critical thing in the middle east is in a matter of weeks obama has undone what for 40 years kept the peace. lou: the house oversight community has come down. it was not comprehensive. interviews were not enough. i thought it was a tame rendering of what transpired. it was a committee that was handpicked by secretary clinton who was one of the major figures involved in the controversy. and then it did not undertake to even interview some of the main witnesses including secretary clinton. lou: or any survivor of the attack. that to me is the most incomprehensible aspect of all of the omissions, and there are many in this report. >> it goes to show yet again that if congress does not push this we will not get anywhere

close to the bottom of it, and it cannot be allowed to die. for americans continue to be dead in what turns out to have been an act of war and we have no accountability for it. >> now in the second year of what has been a highly successful stonewalled by this a ministration. thank you very much for being with us. much more on the syrian chemical weapons agreement reached over the weekend to route tonight's broadcast. we will examine some of its weaknesses and failings. larry summers withdraws from consideration to lead the fed, and markets respond with a rally. why would they do that? risk-management on that, the markets, and the next chairman of the fed. ♪

month. at the end of the day the epic bubble that is already in motion topping is the bond bubble 50530-year bonds will perpetuated by bernanke. if gold is any preview, is down 203%. there is not going to be year. this will be a rotation that perversely perpetuates these higher highs. lou: we appreciate it. good to have you with this. now to the weekend box office. looking for a good scare, folks pushed another low-budget horror movie to box office sites. sounds charming. they are viewed in first place. forty-one to be exact. that's more than eight times what it costs to make pa three times with the first movie earned back in 2011. that's business. relatively -- relativity media.

resistant to were downright immune to even our most powerful antibiotics, and for the very first time they have calculated the number of illnesses and deaths. let's put it up on the screen. 2 million people and made sick by these antibiotic resistant bacteria. 23,000 of them die. the centers for disease control directed, we are facing a health crisis in this country. >> well we have seen is as we have developed new antibiotics every time a new one comes out there are some bacteria that gradually grow quickly. and now we're seeing a situation where some bacteria have resistance to virtually all antibiotics. >> for the first time they have brought together the 18 most dangerous microbes and rent them accordin to the threat that the population faces.

as the cdc director puts it, the medicine cabinet is empty. lou: startling numbers. as we discussed, incentives, trying to encourage drug companies to produce more antibiotics, more effective responses. that is all about money. that is all about markets. >> it is all is all about markets. drug companies do not make a lot of money and antibiotics. then make them on rare drugs that theyan't pass in some. and when you come out with a new antibiotic, the bugs are so quick to catch up that the antibiotic is not effective for long amount of time. here is the overall health costs. every year one alone results in a billion dollars and excess health care costs. from all 18 it's about
