higher. higher. >> oh! >>-- stay where you are, stay where you are. and crews-- >> and nosedived into a packed grandstand. the veteran stunt pilot and two on the ground killed instantly, more than 50 attendees injured and now brand new video is surfacing of the pilot a day before his horrific crash. hello, everyone, i'm kelly wright, welcome to a brand new hour of america's headquarters. >> jamie: it's so tragic you have to almost absorb that video to believe it.
10:01 am
the spectators are sitting at the scene like a bomb went off. >> twisted and turned and wham. it was all ground smoke debris. it looked like he must have been pulling hard on the stick to get as far away from the stands as possible. >> the families in that crowd even. adam housley joining us live from reno where federal investigators are trying to figure out what could have gone wrong. adam, first describe the the scene today. >> reporter: yeah, jamie, it's been about 16 hours since the crash here and you mentioned federal investigators, n.t.s.b. on the sit and allowed the other pit crews to go into the plane and secure the locations and obviously, there's a lot of money sitting in the area behind me, where the pit crews are located to where that plane crashed yesterday and once located. the investigators are here, they've cordoned off an area about the size of two football fields and officially taken control of the airport and still shutdown, the entire area is in lockdown and all
10:02 am
information will come in or out from n.t.s.b. in the meantime, there are some reports coming in now at that potentially a few more people may have died at a local hospital overnight and they're starting to get more specific information from the medical centers, jamie, at least eight people in critical condition, we know at that. a number of others in serious condition and fluctuating, some reports, some reports now saying that they're potentially two more dead overnight and making it five that have died from the crash and we're working to confirm that and local immediate saying including, a spokesman from are hospital that was quoted. we'll continue to work that angle for you jamie, getting you the latest numbers and he recovery efforts. >> jamie: a lot of people want to know about is the pilot. this was a very experienced pilot. in fact, one that had worked at stunt, you know, as a stunt pilot in stunt shows, but also, he's being hailed as a
10:03 am
hero because he could have gone in a different direction and the tragedy could have been so much worse. is that what you're hearing? >> reporter: yeah, his name is jimmy leeward, 70 years old and flying in this competition for years, a pilot, a stunt pilot, not known as someone who takes risk ap watched the video and now that we move 16 hours away, the pilots had a chance to get a better look at it and give us some educated information about what happened. and as he he pulled up, he wasn't losing control at that point he he was pulling you up out of the race. that's the normal thing a pilot does. and as he pulled up, the plane kind of turned and then it arced straight into the ground. there's a picture showing the back part of the tail, elevator at the end broken off or started to come off and could be part of the investigation and there are so many different cameras here and camera phones and tons of video and pictures for investigators to look at. meantime, the pilot did speak for the media, a day before the race yesterday.
10:04 am
about being here, about being a part of the race and we have that video for you, take a listen. >> right now, i think we've calculated out, we're-- or maybe even a little faster, but, to start with, we really didn't want to show our hand until about saturday or sunday and we'd been playing poker since last monday and so, it's ready to, we are he' ready to show a couple more cards so we'll see what friday, what happens. and then saturday, we will he' probably go ahead and play our third ace. and on sunday, we'll do our fourth ace. >> and once again, that was jimmy, a d-51 pilot, and the family was going to have a memorial and the family left the state and nothing planned for the next couple of days. and obviously, they're heart broken what happened here and a lot of people involved in the race, say they knew him. a really good guy and people are talking now that he did steer that plane as far away as he could, under the circumstances, because if you
10:05 am
look at where the impact was, it was literally 30 feet or so from going directly into those boxes, and kind of hit right next to it, and still, horrific, but potentially he may have been able to steer that plane just a tad away and even saved more lives, all of that is part of the investigation and it's ongoing and again, jamie, n.t.s.b. is here, in total control of the scene and meeting with the race organizers and of course canceled for this event and the airport shut down and expect to talk at some point this afternoon with a press conference that still has not yet been set, but everything will be coming in and out of the federal investigation, jamie. >> jamie: adam housley on the ground, good to get the latest and the n.t.s.b. is trying to figure this out. thank you. the crash and horrible aftermath we've been showing you and telling, but is something that the spectators there will never forget and one of them is ang gl risoto, a photographer from fox's denver affiliate and he
10:06 am
happened to be on vacation and caught this on his camera. take a look. >> okay, get me out of here! >> and crystal and i are fine, we weren't down there that far yet, but looks like it went into the-- (inaudible) there's nothing left. and and-- >>. >> jamie: the reaction was certainly swift. if you're sitting in the stands. where do you go, what do you see, what do you do? we're going to talk to an eyewitness coming up sitting about 50 feet from where that vintage plane made its tragic plunge and he will joining us, that's coming up straight ahead. >> kelly: the sadness continues, we're learning this afternoon that eric kennedy eldest daughter of ted and joan kennedy has died. and reports say that kennedy may have suffered a heart attack and kara worked for
10:07 am
special arts, creative counterpart to the special olympics, excuse me, started by her aunt jane kennedy. she was diagnosed with lung cancer in early january of 2003. a portion of her right lung removed and was cancer-free. kara kennedy dead at age 61. and elinore mondale, the daughter of former vice-president walter mondale has also died, according to a family spokeswoman, elinore died at her home in minnesota. she had been diagnosed with brain cancer years ago, and it came back in 2009. mondale carved out her own identity as a broadcast journalist and gossip magnate. >> jamie: also shocking new details about a story people want to know about. an air force general's claim the white house pressured him to change his congressional testimony and about a company
10:08 am
as a donor for the democrats. and for sure, everybody is talking about this. tell us what's behind the controversy. >> well, jamie, a lot of congressional republicans want to the know were this broad band iernet company light squared was granted a waiver last january to construct a satellite broad based service, even though that service would potentially conflict with really important civilian and military communications. the gps, for example, that guides your car or guides the military's missiles, troop movement and more. congressional republicans say that an air force general was urged by the white house to downplay those concerns in written testimony to a congssional committee. that type of a test to bias testimony on something that goes straight to the issue of the heart of our national security is certainly of grave concern. >> a special concern to some congressional investigators. light squared largest invest
10:09 am
phil falcone donates a lot to the democratic party and as does the chairman who go ahead the light squared project. and the white house personnel chief who serves as the u.s. ambassador had a $5,000 interest in light squared. jamie. >> jamie: quick question. the information about the president donating or not donating, contributing or buying an interest in the company. that was all public record. was that out, that information or just come to light? >> that, that has been a part of the tax records and things of that sort. so i think it's come to light as a part of this broader investigation, but it's not been hidden by anybody. >> jamie: on top of that, the general, you mention the fact that his testimony may have been influenced. did he actually change his testimony under any pressure from the white house? >> he did not say that directly, in testimony this last thursday, but he hinted at it. take a listen to this.
10:10 am
>> i don't know that it's totally accurate to say that there were no concerns. i think this was a very different business plan that was put forward and i do believe we were caught a bit off guard. january and february time frame this year is when we really started to get concerned. >> reporter: and in a statement the white house said, quoting now, there was no attempt to influence testimony beyond its consistency with the administration, end quote. and light squared believed that it's the victim of political pressure of its own. denied a chance to speak at thursday's hearing and accusing the gps hearing to kill the competition, jamie. >> jamie: thank you for representing all three sides of the story, we report and our viewers can decide. thanks. >> kelly: president obama using his weekly address to get his new jobs bill passed. the president appealing for public support for his, 447 billion dollar plan. he's asking americans to contact their congressmen.
10:11 am
take a listen. >> it will create new jobs, it will cut taxes for every worker and small business in the country and it will not add to the deficit. it will be be paid for. on monday, i'll layout my plan for how we'll do that, how we'll pay for this plan and pay down our debt. following basic principles and live within our means and asking everyone to pay their fair share. right now, we've got to get congress to pass this jobs bill. >> republicans are firing back and g.o.p. address, congressman peter rosscom of illinois called for the president to reduce regulations on businesses, saying government rules are choking hiring. take a listen to him. >> washington has become a red tape factory with more than 4,000 rules in the pipeline, hundreds of which would cost our economy more than 100 million dollars each annually. the disappointing reality is that what may be a baseless regulation to most, can have a profound i am tactffact--
10:12 am
impact on local economies on families like yours, job creators should be able to focus on their work, not on washington's busy work. >> kelly: so, as the president continues his jobs push, new polls show that he's facing the worst numbers of his presidency. 72% of americans think the country is on the wrong track. that is the highest percentage since the president took office, just 23% think the country is moving in the right direction. and 53% of americans think the country is either headed for or already in another recession. let's bring in our political panel now to discuss this. and a former advisor to president george w. bush, and ryan clayton, democratic consultant and 100 proof.com. and is this country on the right track with what president obama is suggesting or the republicans are suggesting. >> well, three fourths of americans support taking
10:13 am
federal funds and putting teachers, firefighters and cops back to work, so i think the president is definitely on right track of with what he's doing now and focused on the last few months because the unemployment crisis has been growing while the republicans keep us focused on deficits and debt and social issues and presidential campaigns and all of this. what we need now are leadners america that put politics aside and put americans back to work. unfortunately, the republicans, especially in the the house, think that hurting president obama is more important than putting americans back to work. >> kelly: what do you say about that. >> i think it's a slanted opinion because look, president obama hurt himself. okay, the unemployment. 666 billion dollars on this prior to this, it's not working and economy collapsed, downgraded. 1.5 trillion dollarmore than we take in. it's not about politics, it's simple economics math equation, you can't spend more than you take in period. we need to get people back to work. the solution, reform the tax codes, lower tax rates for citizens and corporations, give a green light to
10:14 am
corporations and businesses in america, it's okay to be hiring without being afraid of what's the administration is going to do next and let's get america back to work and invite foreign countries and other companies to inves we need people back to work. as far as campaigning, who is campaigning? president obama is spending a lot of money campaigning when he should being fixing job issues and we ought to appeal obamacare and that's going to be-- >> you bring up another topic, health care. but again getting back to jobs creation, there are 14 million people listening to us talk and saying what do you do about the jobs and they want something now. can we afford to wait longer? ryan? >> no, we can't afford to wait any longer. the republican plan in the house would have cut 7 million jobs out of our economy and the plan that president obama is suggesting now, is going to put 2 million jobs back into our economy and that's going to put customers and small businesses around the country with money in their pockets ready to spend it and that's going to grow the economy. what he's talking about is
10:15 am
trickledown economics, eliminating all regulation and all taxes for the rich and that's a failed social experiment they've tried for 30 to 40 years. >> and the solution, all due respect. let me interject here, that americans are dissatisfied with both sides of the aisle. dissatisfied with the president and dissatisfied with republicans and congress in total. they just want people to do the right thing in congress and see some reform. and what has to be done in order to get the president and congress on the same path of getting some jobs created? >> get some jobs created by lowering the corporate tax rates and getting-- look, i'm in small businesses, i own small businesses, and employ a lot of people and speaking to you from a position of uniqueness, i'm not talking theory or academics, i'm in it. here is the deal. unless things change, no one is going to hire anyone and people are going to stay unemployed. a quick solution to put people back to work immediately we need to give businesses a green light.
10:16 am
not about republican, not about democrat, not about politics, it's about economics, a simple equation, get people back to work and start growing businesses in america that produce 50% of the american output and employ seven out of ten people. period. call it what you want, we need to put people back to work. >> kelly: ryan. >> what we call it, the americans jobs act. and about choice, do you want teachers or tax cuts for the wealthy few. cops and firefighters or lower taxes for corporations that already pay zero? you know, do you want to put unemployed veterans back home to work? or keep on playing politics until the next election, most americans know what we need to do. time for the republicans especially in the house to wake up or grow up or both. >> kelly: ryan clayton and keakos. a great debate. >> thank you. >> thank you for having us. >> jamie: interesting new developments for the two american hikers that remain jailed in iran. what iran is saying now that could have an impact on their potential release.
10:17 am
plus, a front seat to the tragedy in reno, one of the spectators who sat feet from where the plane crashed. saw the chaos, felt it firsthand and joins us live next. there'only one bottle left ! i've got to tell susie ! the vending machine on elm is almost empty. i'm on it, boss. new pony ? sorry ! we are open for business. let's reroute greg to fresno. growing businesses use machine-to-mhine technology from verizon wireless. susie ! the vending machine... already filled. cool bike. because the business with the best technology rules.

10:21 am
>> two american hikers jailed in iran more than two years, could be a step closer to freedom. that country's foreign minister saying the courts are willing, or coming closer in the near future to commute the prison sentences for chene bauer and josh fatel, but didn't give any indication on when the two men could be released. the latest word, excuse me, out of iran comes as an international effort intensifies to seal a 1 million dollar bail for freedom deal for the america americans. >> jamie: right now, the federal investigators are pouring over that crash scene in reno, nevada. they're just trying to sort t what could have gone so horribly wrong. there are fears growing, too, that the death toll, which is now standing at three, could climb higher. long time air show attendee, ronald sergeant, saw the horror firsthand. he was sitting with some of
10:22 am
his friends, some 50 feet from where the plane made its final nosedive and he's joining us on the phone now from reno. ron, i'm terribly sorry that you were there and had to witness this. i know you were with some of your guy friends and today, you planned to bring your family. were there kids in the stands? >> there were some kids in the stands. and i do not know if there were any down in the box area, where the plane impacted. mostly, it was an older, older crowd, so it would have been at least 18 and up. >> jamie: you've been going to the air shows such a long time. this is something you never expect to see, but it does happen. how can you describe it and how are you doing today? >> well, it's, it's like any kind of stock, where it slowly burns into you, having some friends up here my family and daughter and her friends blew up from chicago and first time going to the races and being able to talk about it, seeing
10:23 am
several planes go down over the years, and since the first time we had one swing out and come down and threaten the crowd and actually come into stands and injury spectators. >> jamie: that was so close. how was the emergency response? >> it was, it was incredibly fast. one of the things that amazed me was how calm all the spectators were as the plane clearly swung, you know, off track area, and in out over the crowd. i did not hear a lot of screaming, wailing, and the plane was pointing toward our box, watching the change of the trajectory that the pilot was fighting to get it swung out and didn't impact in the box or the grandstand area right behind us, and he got it out at least to the edge, and the plane hit, most of the debris flew out and it was
10:24 am
less horrific than it could have been if he had crashed where near our box was and probably would have been 300, and last cut part of the grandstand would have been worse. >> jamie: you believe what many have said that this pilot, because of his experience, did everything he could to prevent more people from being injured in this crash. >> it appeared just watching the plane that he was fighting to, to try to get it out over the area, and the planes have gotten into trouble and pilots have steered them out and get them away from the crowd, in doing it. but, as i said, just nonpilot observation of it the trajectory was the middle of the crowd and the nose veered up a little bit and started to swing out to the open sagebrush and fell short of that and caught the front row of boxes. >> walking some of the walking wounded now leave the scene,
10:25 am
it's so horrific. and i know, so many hearts are heavy today there and around the aviation world, really, because the shows are usually so spectacular. would you go again? >> yes, i mean, i think we will. we've talked about it a bit last night, and over the years, i've had several friends, one friend who is actually a flight instructor and two others volunteer and work there and for them, i hear from all the training and you asked a minute ago about the emergency response. it had to be within 30 seconds, the emergency response people were there, fire started to roll out, and someone was telling me shortly thereafter the nevada national guard, set up the perimeter area. they put a call in for doctors or law enforcement to assist and within a minute or so, they were starting to put people on into the ambulances and then you started hearing
10:26 am
the medics, the helicopters, and headed off to the hospitals. >> it does seem that their response and pilots actions saved lives. our hearts and prayers go to those injured who are trying to recover. we hope there is no more tragedy in the awful situation. thanks, ron, for giving your thoughts on it. ron sergeant is joining us on the phone from reno. >> thank you for the opportunity. >> jamie: kelly. >> kelly: a tea party challenge for one on the most powerful republican on capital hill. who john boehner will face in a primary next year. how close are the militants who carry out some of the biggest attacks on american troops in afghanistan, including this week's brazen attack on the u.s. embassy? for the pakistani government? the growing evidence, this time coming from a top u.s. official, pointing to a connection. at bayer, we're re-inventing aspirin for pain relief. with new extra-strength bayer advanc aspirin. it has microparticles, enters the bloodstream faster

10:31 am
. >> jamie:. welcome back. time for the top of th news. the uaw reaching its first knew tentative labor deal with general motors giving nearly 50,000 union workers more job security and better profit sharing plan and house speaker john boehner is getting a new tea party challenger in 2012. that's right, political newcomer david lewis says he plans to challenge boehner support of a federal budget provided funds to planned parenthood. international news, new fallout after militants staged one of the biggest strikes in the heart afghan's capital. saying that there is evidence linking wednesday's attack on the u.s. embassy and n.a.t.o. headquarters directly to the pakistani government. strong words for a country considered to be a key ally in the global fight. we're fighting against terror.
10:32 am
fox news analyst, captain chuck nash. >> nice to be with you. >> jamie: what is it that authorities and investigators have learned? >> well,t would appear that when some of these militants. when they went through and searched their bodies after these guys were killed off, finally, after a 20-hour siege, they found some cell phones and cell phones have a significant amount of forensic evidence to be be used to trace back. the other thing is, we don't know, but that our folks maybe were listening in advance to these plans and just did not know what the target was. but, the chatter was up, they were probably listening and monitoring those networks, so, for the ambassador and the secretary of defense, come out so soon after the incident and make the allegation that the pakistani isi was involved, they would not be making those kind of allegations if they didn't have some strong evidence to back it up. >> let's be clear, you don't
10:33 am
have to even be specific about the numbers, but we have held pakistan for many years, they've been considered an ally. we give a lot of money, u.s. money, less now than we did, but nevertheless, a substantial sum. if they're not on our side, what are we going to do about it? >> you know, it's tough because as long as that wasiristan area, the northwest part of pakistan and the western part of pakistan, that comes up against that afghan border, as long as that's being used as sanctuary, we're going to have difficulty and the afghans will have difficulty when we down scale our troops maintaining security because it's such a pourous border. we need the pakistanis to help us on this, but it's clear that the pakistani government is rather duplicitous. on one hand, they're happy to help us and work against certain groups, but on the other hand they, for some reason, will not interfere with this network which is one
10:34 am
of the worst violators of security inside afghanistan. >> jamie: so, it sounds like you're saying the government of pakistan wants it both ways, they want to be our friends and protect their own interests at our expense. >> yeah. >> jamie: what further actions should we take and do you think that the building up this, the ability to make that connection so quickly to the government's participation in this attack, is because of withdrawal and planned further withdrawals from afghanistan? >> well, you know, these things are really murky and twisty and everything. but i think the reason is, as you point out in that statement. i think what's happening is the pakistani government does not want to draw the ire of the hakani network because they're dealing with security threats and they want to use that network it to work in afghanistan against our interests and in support of the taliban. they use these terrorist groups just like they used
10:35 am
tahida in the kazmir region of india and use the surrogates to keep things unstable where they see at that in their interest. what we've got to do is come down hard on these folks, if we've got the forensic evidence, cell phone, electronic data we need to start cleaning these people out and what they're going to do to go the next step. what they're going to use their relationship with the taliban and these supposed peace talks which will be coming up, and they're going to use that to leverage themselves out of this hammer a and-- that we're going to put on them. they're going to try to put that on and say can't hammer us or you're going to upset. >> jamie: that and hammer ourselves, it sounds like a very fragile situation. i'm glad we're talking about it and raising awareness. captain chuck nash, fox news military analyst, good to have your insight on this, sir.
10:36 am
>> thanks, jamie. >> jamie: take care. >> are young americans gradually less likely to be able to establish between matters of good and evil? some researchers believe that today's youth are uneducated when it comes to morality. fox news contributor liz trotta is here with her thoughts and liz, this is a stunning example, if you will, of where things stand. it seems like mom and dad are no longer sitting down at the kitchen table to talk to their children about what's right and wrong. >> and mom and dad might not even exist on top of that. >> kelly: that's true. >> you know, you point out something interesting. this column appeared in the new york times, written by david brooks. mr. brooks often comments on politics, so, very interesting he's also very much a social cementtator. and the fact that it appears in the new york times, which is the bed rock of moral relativism is quite interesting. here is what he's wring about. writing about a study that was
10:37 am
done by christian smith, of notre dame and several of his colleagues, and they did the study about the moral life of young adults. and that would be from 18 to 23. and the results are really quite shocking. it real is a comment in a way, although brooks doesn't say so, on the children and grandchildren of people in the 1960's. and which is what all the moral barriers seem to draw. in fact, did drop. well, this is kind of the result of that. so, let me give awe example from brooks' column. he he writes, when asked about wrong or evil, they could generally agree that rape and murder are wrong, but aside from the extreme cases, moral thinking, didn't enter the picture. even when considering things like drunken driving, cheating in school or cheating on a partner, i don't really deal with right and wrong that often is how one interviewee put it.
10:38 am
so, there you have it. you have a -- you have the study showing you, by the way, it's called lost in transition, the dark side of emerging adulthood. and it's also become a book. but you had every single ism, attached to this group of young adults. relativism, consumerism, nonjudgementalism, people said i don't want to be judgmental, well, why not? it's that kind of thing, they fit the profile of a lost society. >> kelly: and it seems to go back to that thought about there are no absolutes and to that i always ask the question, are you absolutely sure? >> exactly, good answer, by the way. very thomas aquinas. i think it shows here that what really has been documented here, is that everybody in that group or most feel that it's up to the
10:39 am
individual and more important, is how you feel, not how you reason. and the m-word, i call it the m-word, nobody ever says morality now days and that's why this surprises me he so. what he doesn't mention, david brooks, in his column is religion andnstead refers to institutions as letting the kids down and families and the whole environment and of course, i would add the garbage culture that we live in. >> kelly: all right. liz, we thank you very much and we'll see you tomorrow. >> thank you. >> jamie: on another note you're looking for a muscle car with retro looks and power under the hood? dodge has just the ticket at least according to gary gastelu. he took the all new 2012 dodge charger rt for a spin. . >> reporter: it marks the end of an era, or perhaps the beginning of a new one. with the passing of their peers, the redesigned 2011 dodge charger and chrysler 300

twin stand alone as the last of america's full size rear wheel drive sedans, it's really kind of sad. cars like this used to be the heart and soul of the american roads. big engine up front. power to the rear and even though this particular one is all wheel drive i'm not going to hold that against it. that's because when you drive into a town that irene just left. it comes in handy and unlike all most wheel drive cars, this works like a rear wheel drive until there's wheel slippage, great handling, unfortunately a burnout count, the wheel slippage and you can't do that. that's disappointing, while it comes with a v-6. this was 5.7 liter 370 horsepower hemi v-8 that's begging to burn some rubber. oh, traction! >> no, this one is classy for this kind of stuff and great new interior to match. the old charger was a plastic

disaster, this is made with great material and racy look and may turn off the typical camry buyer, but up the alley for someone looking for the dodge performance image. any way you slice it, this is a hot machine. that sometimes has electrically heated and cooled cup holders. and of course, that was the hot one. in the 2012 dodge charger, gary gastelu, fox news. >> jamie: if you like it, red at least, kelly. you want to learn more about the dodge charger rt. go to fox car report.com. meanwhile, wall street may help you buy one of pretty cars, it ended on a high note and stocks finishing up. you want to know how long the good times will last? stay right where you are. w wi! when we set you up with that little hardware store we didn't intend for your face to be everywhere. but fedex office makes it so easy. not only do they ship stuff, they print flyers, brochures --
