alternative? we talk to the head of the rnc, reince priebus about that and more. >> another plane falls from the sky. the latest on both investigations. all that and a grandfather's fight bring his grandchildren held a continent away, back home to the u.s.. i'm shannon bream america's news headquarters live from the nation's capital starts right now. >> shannon: president obama plans to roll out a new tax plan tomorrow. but, it is bound to meet stiff opposition from republicans in congress. the president is targeting those earn more than a million dollars a year, because of one of the richest men in the world, warren buffet. peter doocy is live with more. >> reporter: the president wants millionaires and the middle class to pay uncle sam the same percentage of their

earnings. republicans are saying today that is not the right way to raise revenues. >> what it does, it adds further instability to our system, more uncertainty and punishes job creation and those people who create jobs. class warfare may make for good politics. but it makes for rotten economics. >> reporter: the president speaks tomorrow, he won't give specifics about the exact new rate he wants or how much it could bring. a look back shows he thinks 5.4% is fair that's the millionaire's surtax he pro -- he proposeed in '09. that didn't fly now he's trotting out his buddy warren buffet. something the president has been doing for quite a while now. >> right now, warren buffet pays a lower tax rate than his second. an -- than his secretary a outrage he has asked us to fix. we need a tax code where

everyone gets a fair shake. >> reporter: buffet did write a "new york times" on that some called stop coddling the super rich. now a super peace for the president's sales pitch. a pitch democrats think will have no problem winning over the american public. >> i wonder if john boehner knows what it sounds like when he continues to say the position of the republican party in america is you can't impose one more penny in taxes on the wealthiest people? i wonder if he understands how that sounds in ohio to working families who are struggling? >> reporr: this new minimum tax for millionaires will affect 450,000 people which is 0.3% of the 144 million file terse from 2010. >> shannon: thanks peter. campaigner in chief that's how the head of the rnc is characterizing the president.

do any of the gop candidates have a viable alternative? reince priebus joins us to break it down. chairman great to see you. >> thank you for having me. >> plenty of criticism for the president's job plans. we saw speaker boehner float some ideas. does the gop have room to criticize? >> this is sort of an interesting theme. sometimes people have asked me about that the reality is, the republicans that have been offering all the plans. the republicans you saw paul ryan that was on earlier, it was his program that really tackled the debt and deficit crisis head on. the 10 year unbelievable monstrosity that is facing our country in entitlements and debt. it was the republicans, all republicans in congress, except for that voted. it was the republicans that voted for cut, cap and balance. and what do we see from the democrats? speeches, pageantry. lectures from the president. they didn't pass a budget.

the democrats in 860 days. it is the republicans that making all the offers. in trade agreements, regulatory reform, lowering the business taxes so that job creators can bring more people under the payroll. i reject the premise of the question. but i understand why you ask. >> shannon: the speaker has talked about the fact there could be areas for compromise. he sounds like there are some places where both sigh come together. -- both sides can come together. heed is for a meeting with the president he didn't get that meeting. -- the speaker said tax increases were not okay. hoping the super committee working on finding economic plans doesn't go that route. we are hearing the president is going to roll out something people will consider big tax increase tomorrow. are the two sides, too combative to come to any compromise? >> interesting question. it is true that the speaker and leader cantor said if

there are areas that we can agree on, let's agree. less payroll tax issue the president rolled out, sure. if we can reduce or extent the deduction, that would work. then axelrod came on television and said the democrats aren't willing to compromise. it is a take it or leave it proposal. either you are for me or against me. that's what the president said. this sympathetic of -- this schtick of them wanting compromise that is not what they are after offering. they are offering a take it or leave i proposal. number two, as far as raising taxes, the only reason we've been having this debate is we are spending too much money. our problem is not that we don't have enough coming in, we are spending too much. taxing job creators is only going to make it more difficult to provide good paying jobs for the american people that hurting in this country that want get back to

work. >> shannon: there's a big debate this week, thursday night fox and google and florida republican party holding a debate. a lot has been made about the fact that sometimes the candidates in these debates feel like they are being pitted against each other. you need to see the differences among them so voters can make an informed decision. how dangerous do you think it is to have a very heated primary? do you think it makes the eventual nominee stronger? >> i think it makes the nominee stronger. i'm a big believer in -- before i became chairman, we had primaries up and down the ticket that produced scott walker, ron johnson who beat feingold. it want a walk in the park. these were serious primaries. i think it makes them stronger. i think it is part of the primary process in the end we are going support our nominee to make sure we save this country and make barack obama a one-term president.

we are going to make it happen. in question comes up a lot. hillary clinton, barack obama, they went at it all the way through the end of june. how did that work out? worked out well. >> shannon: fundraising, you had a very impressive august something that you don't usually see on a nonelection year. >> we are doing well. we've started out at the rnc, we know the story. but it started with us just trying to rebuild trust and credibility among our donors. get the party being functional and operation al. we've done that. we've built up a donor base that has confidence in the rnc. more importantly o donors and grassroots are starting to see we have to replace this president. we can beat this president. these love with the sound of his own voice but not with following through on his promises and the american people are ready to make a change. >> shannon: thank you. see you in orlando. >> we want to let you know the democratic congresswoman lynn

at work already on the ground at the airfield back here behind me pouring through this massive debris field that has been left. you can also get a better feel for what they are dealing with. take a look at these pictures. cameras were allowed into the accident site last night. folks were escorted in. you can see the damage. it looks really as if a bomb went off. there's a crater in the tarmac about three feet deep and eight feet wide. they estimate this plane was traveling about 400 miles-an-hour, as it plummeted to the earth. twisted metal and plane parts scattered over more than an acre. the ntsb says this particular plane had been modified to make it fly faster and make it more aero dynamic. on youtube the 74-year-old pilot said that his crew cut five feet off of each wing and shortened the back edge of the tail from 60 some odd ins to

30 some odd inches. now the feds looking into -- into whether this compromised the plane's safety. >> as part of this process the ntsb has been aided by a technical inspector with firsthand knowledge of these modified aircraft. he has facilitated access to some exemplar aircraft which has helped our investigators further understand the systems in these modified aircraft. >> reporter: this is an image that gives you chills. the pilot jimmy lee ward had this picture taken with the doomed plane, 24 hours before his ill-fated flight. his family was here from florida, watching the race and witnessed this whole accident. officials say more than 60 people were injured and treated at area hospitals in the wake of had disaster. 36 have been released. nine remain in critical condition. >> shannon: casey thank you.

we have breaking news. shooting in lakeland, florida has left one dead and two injured. authorities are telling us a man shot and killed one person at a home and gunned down two others at a church about a block away from that home. officials say it is not clear if a suspect has been taken into custody. no word on the extent of the surviving victims' injuries. we'll keep you updated on that story. the palestinians are pushing for full membership in the united nations at this year's meetings in new york. israeli netanyahu does not believe that is going to happen. steve centanni is live with more. >> reporter: last minute talks are underway aimed at preventing a showdown at the united nations with the u.s. finding itself in the uncomfortable possession of vetoing a palestinian effort to seek world recognition. a top palestinian official is hoping the u.s. will not follow through on its veto

threat. >> we wish that the united states will reconsider. we wish the united states will actually cast a vote in favor of palestinian seeking freedom this is a natural position of the united states this is what we've seen in the region by the united states. support for all the peoples in the region who were seeking freedom and independence. >> reporter: israeli prime minister netanyahu says the palestinian effort is futile. he says once the palestinians go through the motions and fail. they will fan a peace partner in israel. -- they will find a peace partner in israel. >> despite the current attempt to bypass negotiations again by appealing to the u.n., peace will only be achieved by deck negotiations. the palestinians' attempt to become a member of the u.n. will fail. >> reporter: talks are underway in new york between senior u.s. and european officials, hoping to find a way of appeasing israel and the palestinians. while steering the two sides back to the negotiating table. >> i think what we will be

looking for, over the next few days, is a way of putting together something that allows their claims and legit miss aspirations for statehood to be recognized. ile renewing the only thing an is going to produce a state, a negotiation directly teen the two sides. >> reporter: the palestinians are expected to seek u.n. membership at a general assembly meeting this friday. >> shannon: one signature may stand teen the two american hikers being held in iran and their freedom. the iranian lawyer says he could not get a second key signature he needs because the judge is on vacation until tuesday. they were innocence sentenced last fun to eight years in prison each. they've been detained in iran since july of 2009. >> iran's nuclear secrets.

border security requires around the clock answer along our southern border. some are warning 24 hours patrols are doing permanent damage to the environment there. is it possible to balance both concerns? here for a fair and balanced debate republican congressman rob bishop. welcome to you both. randy, let me start with you. what kind of damage do you say is being done because of border patrols and security? >> well, the efforts of the border security agencies to do their jobs on the border works better when they work with land managers on the ground to

do that job. they benefit from site specific knowledge. those land managers know the terrain better than anybody. in some cases that relationship doesn't work as well as it should. nay national wildlife refuge along arizona's border we see -- 8,000 milds -- miles of roads blazed through a wilderness area. it is a situation where in recent years the majority of those roads have been caused by the border patrol. they are driving 15, 20 miles north of the border. not on the border stopping people from coming into the united states and protecting that resource. they are driving around 15, 20 miles from the border. >> congressman s there a way to meet both of -- is there a way to meet both objectives? while also protecting the environment? >> there obviously. the argument that a few hundred border patrol agents are causing more damage than the hundreds of thousands of

illegals coming across the border, many of home are the drug cartels, human traffickers, they are starting the diversion area fires, leaving s of crash, -- cutting down endangered flora and fauna to use as road brocks. until we control the board we are not going to be to -- they need to be able to do their job. private property, the border patrol is not prohibited from doing their patrolling jobs. only on public property owned by the federal government. because of that -- >> i would disagree with that >> it is the law. because of that this is the avenue of choice by the bad guys trying to come in. and they are destroying the environment. the border patrol has to secure the borders first. >> shannon: randy? >> the american people don't trust the department of homeland security to operate outside of american law. q(resentative bishop's

approach, he wants to waive environmental protections. the people who live along the border deserve the same clean air and water that the rest of us benefit from as a result of those laws. >> shannon: how do you spoken to his allegation that people who are coming across the border aren't respecting the environment either? >> there's a lot of foot traffic. also 20,000 border patrol agents driving vehicles all over fragile desert landscapes. a lot of other border patrol activities do a lot of damage. homeland security constructed a wall on the border not only does it not work, but it has done a tremendous amount of damage to public and private property.ekñ millions in damage has been done through flooding and erosion. the reason is clear. because they constructed that wall outside of the purview of over sigh of legal over sigh. representative -- representative bishop still wants to extend that waiver of authority to 100 miles inland all over the united states.

throughout the united states borders and coasts. this approach makes no sense. >> shannon: congressman is that an accurate portrayal? are these agencies operating outside the law as randy says? >> problem in billing the fence, which has had its impact for good, it was stopped by all sorts of lit that took place until we waived 36 -- litigation that took place until we waived 36 -- it is doing a wonderful job on private property areas only where they are prohibited from doing their job that is patrolling east-west many -- they have told us that more money, more manpower would be nice but access is prohibiting them from doing their job. you are getting a quarter million people every year coming -- >> shannon: we have to leave it there. thank you both for participating. we know it is not going to be

solved today. congressman and randy we appreciate you joining us. >> thank you for having us. nan nan you may remember a heated debate -- >> shannon: you may remember a heated debate we hosted earlier this year. no more coed housing. >> not only the current president, garvey, the past president, david o'connell, they've done an excellent job in saying, who are we? ÷ order to become what we say we want to be? >> if you look closely at president garvey's(uú statement he doesn't claim any catholic values. he's doing it for secular reasons. by the way, even if he were doing it for religious reasons the courts have said, human rights trumps religion. >> shannon: you heard from jonathan morris and second was the professor who filed this initial sex discrimination

complaint. now we have an update. there was a hearing this week on the professor's claim. although the parties are under orders to keep the specifics of what happened confidential i talked to the protestor. he's plan to -- he's planning to take things further likely to file claims against the ash die 'tis of washington, d.c. in federal -- the archdiocese of washington, d.c. in federal court. >> former president clinton says there is a way president obama can use -- >> a heartbreaking separation, two american girls being held by their father, a continent away. we will talk to their grandfather about the family's struggle to get them back. ♪

withering fire from gadhafi forces from strategically my positions. we strand from a rebel source that 15 of them were -- we understand from a rebel source that 15 were killed and 60 wounded. reported tensions between rival groups of rebels. some accuse local fighters of being traitors and supplying information to gadhafi loyalists. in sirte, gadhafi's hometown, also a struggle. we spoke to rebels overnight. they said they got near to gadhafi's palace there. but they are facing stiff opposition also there. >> shannon: david piper, thank you very much. days after president obama announced his new 447 billion dollar american jobs act a group of democratic law maybers, the congressional progressive caucus announced a jobs plan of their own. joining me from san francisco democratic congresswoman lynn

woolsey thank you for your time. >> thank you for having me. >> shannon: what is it about the president's plan that the right fit for you. is it a come pan piece or instead of what the president is proposing --? >> actually the cpc traveled the nation over the month of august and early september and talked to thousands of constituents. the president's plan is good. we just would make it bigger, if we had our way. we think we should go with the president's plan, 100%, not parts of it, not pieces of it. but the entire plan and invest in making it in america. bringing jobs back to america. and making those jobs right near america. so, we would have early on have had a much bigger, bolder and i would say braver jobs

bill. we support what the president proposed at the joint session. we will encourage that we don't want anything less than that. because we know this is a crisis. we need to deal with it right now, as an emergency. we need jobs immediately. certainly, infrastructure jobs answer. plan green jobs, absolutely necessary. and -- extending unemployment, the 9 9ers running out of unemployment they need that and the chronically unemployed who have to get back into the -- into the job market. we have to do that so middle america becomes who we know the united states to be. >> shannon: you mentioned several things that are controversial on capitol hill.

even democrats joining with some republicans on the hill who say the president's plan goes too far. after what was uncovered with solyndra this week, selling green jobs is going to be an uphill battle. how does the president pull together not only his own caucus, but get bipartisan support? >> well, i would suggest that all of us, not just the white house, not just the progressive democrats, but every single elected official listen to our constituency. i represent marin and sonoma counties. we have a 10% unemployment in sonoma county. marin is much better off. but, the number one outcry is we need jobs congresswoman. and we need them now. and we need them here in the united states of america. all the politics around this can get -- will get in the way. we need to make sure we listen

to the people who are in such desperate need right now. and we do something for them. not worry about do we get elected in 14 months or not. >> shannon: there are folks on both sides of the aisle who will support that as key to making your decisions. thank you. >> thank you for having me. >> shannon: they all agree obama's jobs plan has serious flaws. not all 2012 candidates have rolled out their own plans. chris wallace's take on herman cain's 999 plan a plan that cain got help on but saying from whom. >> i'm not at liberty to mention their name. >> why not? >> cause they have their own independent businesses and i don't want to compromise their confidentiality. when they tell me it is okay, i will mention it.

percentage of their tabs and middle income people do. buffet says because pays on dividends capital gains pays a lower rate than his secretary. it runs head long into the basic republican opposition to the idea of increasing taxes on-the-job creators. i must say -- say knowing the reception it is going to get, it seems it is more a political move by the president than policy move many it is aimed more at being able to say, we are -- for taxing the wealthy, they are against it. not $250,000, real millionaires no chance i think that it is going to get passed by the super committee or congress. >> somebody else who has a plan, herman cain presidential contender that you sat down with. >> he has something called the nine, nine, nine plan. do an a with all loopholes,

the ground in israel that could create a very dangerous and volatile situation. what no one wants is a repeat of what we began back in 2000. we had thousands dead, hundreds of people wounded in riots on an almost weekly basis here. and, of course, all of the suicide bombings. 2005 came, there was relative calm and that is when the u.s. brokered peace talks began and still six years later haven't been able to really get an offer on the table that either side is willing to accept. and the current israeli government right now is loath to make any conditions and any concessions to the palestinians. where do we go from here? on wednesday there are massive rallies planned in the palestinian cities. the israelis have been preparing all summer for big clashes. how that goes down will tell us who wins the p.r. war here. the more in control things are the better it is for the palestinians. this could not come at a worse time for the israelis.

honor! >> shannon: pride and joy is spilling out in the streets of greensburg, kentucky, for the 23-year-old marine awarded the medal of honor thursday by the president for saving 36 lives during a firefight in afghanistan in 2009. he said he is proud and honored to be back home. >> a whirlwind of a week and meeting with the president and marines and americans. i tell you right now, nothing is better than meeting with people of my hometown in kentucky. >> reporter: he will now use his name for a bigger purpose, raising scholarship money for the children of marines. >> shannon: another update on the shooting in florida this

morning. authorities reporting that a suspect is in custody after a shooting in lakeland left one person dead and two others injured. reports are that he shot and killed one person allegedly at a home and then reportedly gunned down two others at a church a block away. parishoners tackled him and get him restrained until police arrived. no other members of the church were injured. again, a suspect in custody in the shooting in florida. president obama plans to roll out a whole now tax plan but it needs support from republicans in congress. the president is targeting those who earn more than a million dollars a year because of one of the richest men in the world, billionaire warren buffett. peter doocy live with what they are calling the buffett rule. >> he was basically begging congress to stop coddling the superrich and he views high tax rates for billionaires and

millionaires as charity. because of that, president obama has put buffett's name on the new minimum tax rate for millionaires. republicans are already saying that mr. obama is trying to raise revenues the wrong way. >> what it does is it adds further instability to the system, more uncertainty and it punishes job creation and those people who create jobs. class war fare, chris, may make for really good politics but makes for rotten economics. >> the chairman of the house budget committee thinks raising taxes on the rich is a bad idea but he knows that it is not a into you idea because president obama has been pushing for them for a long time including at his big address to the joint session of congress earlier this month. >> right now warren buffett pays a lower tax rate than his secretary. an outrage he has asked us to fix. we need a tax code where everyone gets a fair shake. >> so warren buffett has really

become the center piece of the sales pitch here and it is a pitch that democrats think is really going to work easily on most americans. >> i wonder if john boehner knows what it sounds like when continues to say the position of the republican party in america is that you can't impose one more penny in taxes on the wealthiest people. i wonder if he understands how that sounds in ohio to working families who are struggling. >> and this new you minimum tax rate for millionaires would affect about 450,000 people which is 0.3% of the 144 million filers from 2010. shannon? >> shannon: thank you very much, peter. a new book is proving to be yet another headache for an administration already feeling the pain. the latest challenge for a president dealing with a low job approval rating. democrats unhappy with the west wing strategy and economic misery. james carville even advised the white house that it is time to "panic." joining us democratic

strategist debra dingell and karen hammity. welcome to you both. >> great to be here. >> i want to look at the latest gallup polling numbers about the job approval of the president. we have 52% now, who say they disapprove. 39% say they approve. debbie, what does the white house do with this? >> the white house has to keep trying to fix what the problem is. create jobs and fix the economy. when does a good job and puts forth a plan that the american people understand and they see it tiffany renthey will support -- see it different they will support the president. people that say he has not done as good a job of communicating and he has to pull people together. he has to stop thinking about the republicans and democrats. we are are americans that have a problem and we got to start working together. >> shannon: a lot of people are suffering out there. on top of that, thy the issue of the new book out with allegations that the west wing is a boys club and it was a hostile environment for women.

karen, do you think that is going to resonate with female voters? what does the white house do with that? >> this is very much an inside the beltway story but it is not a food story. and if you talk to folks cloture -- close to the white house, folks aren't happy right now. you have carville out there saying people should be fired which, of course, is ridiculous. there is no one left to be fired. there has been so much turnover in this administration over the past two are years who would you fire? geithner and valerie jarrett are the only senior advisors there from the beginning. what it creates is a story about an administration that seems not to really be on its game. and as david ploufe the senior campaign advisor said, there is not a lot of margin for error right now. >> shannon: and more than a year out from the presidential election, debbie.

should the gop folks be careful about being too smug or gloating about this because we know that is a world of time in politics. >> it is a world of time in politics. on this book, i have known anita dunn forever and she has denied what is said in that book is what happened as have a number of people. i think when we talk about anger it is not just democrats. everybody is angry. people are scared out there. they don't know what their future will be or if their retirement will be there. people can't get a job. i was in the grocery store last sunday at home and three people came up to me, telling me one had been an unemployed engineer and hadn't been able to find a job for three years. one was a mother. they need help. none of us can give them the answers that they want to hear. we all have to start figuring it out. we have to get the best economic minds. stop saying this is a off the table and this is off the table and work together.

reduce the budget. what is the right tax policy. how do we fix america together? >> and when you look at capitol hill congress as a whole, both parties included their approval rating is at like 12%. americans are upset across the board. >> they are upset across the board and if you are that engineer out of work for two years and there are so many people across america. in california you have unemployment 12%. nevada 12%. double digits in many states. message of we are going to tax the wealthiest doesn't translate into this is how we create a job for you. now, that might be good politics and the economists can argue whether that is good economics. i don't think it is good economics but that is not a jobs plan and i think that the frustration is who is talking about putting us back to work and who is talking about how to come up with a proposal that allows the job creators to create more jobs and not just tax the people who are the job creators. and i think that is -- that frustration trickles down

throughout the country. >> shannon: and it is clear that the administration has to do convincing but the gop as well that is has viable alternatives. a lot of work to do in washington. debbie and karen, thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you. two air show crashes in one weekend. the ntsb working to figure out what happened to both of them. this happened yesterday in martinsburg. instantly killing pilot. no one else was injured in that crash. the other happened out west killing nine people in reno. casey stegall is there with the latest on the investigation. hello, casey. >> reporter: two air show accidents in just two days and now, of course, the safety of these events are now in question. but the faa, the federal aviation administration wants to remind people that months and months and months of planning goes into these events before the crowds even start to show up. the feds say that they closely examine the race course and

spectator area with the goal of ensureing that a crash or mid air collision does not endanger the public. clearly that was not the case here in reno because more than 60 civilians were hurt and nine remain critical. today the ntsb investigators are focusing on the doomed plane's tail. that portion has been identified and recovered. reports that a flap on the tail may have been damaged, causing the lean to crash and burst into thousands of pieces. meantime, reaction still pouring in from those who knew the pilot, 74-year-old jimmy leeward who was beloved in the world of aviation. ever. >> it going to be a loss not only to the aviation enthusiasts but he will be a loss to the community and we are going to miss him very much. >> shock. absolute shock. he never dreamed that something

like this would happen to someone that you know. >> now, here is a strange twist that we are also following. astronaut mark kelly, the husband of arizona congress woman gabrielle giffords who was shot earlier this year in a shooting rampage in tucson, mark kelly was in reno and scheduled to fly the exact same type of aircraft in this weekend's show. now, kelly was not here on friday when this accident happened. and, of course, congressman giffords was not here as well. she continues her rehabilitation in texas. strange, he was supposed to do some acrobat work for the crowds here. obviously he is a pilot and astronaut. just commanded the last shuttle mission. so that is certainly interesting, mark kelly's spokespeople giving us that information this weekend, shannon. >> shannon: odd coincidence. casey stegall live in reno,

thank you so much. texas governor rick perry only in the race for three weeks but he has moved to the top the pack in the short time. he says he is quite a job creator. his opponents no, surprise, don't necessarily agree. we will take a look, fact and fiction on his job creation record, right after the break. when you look at what we have done over the last decade, we created one million jobs in the state of texas at the same time america last 2.5 million. ♪ [ male announcer ] each of these photos was taken by someone on the first morning of their retirement. it's the first of more than 6,000 sunrises the average retiree llee. ♪ as we're living longer than ever before, prudential's challenge is to help everyone have the retirement income they'll ne to enjoy every one of their days. ♪

>> shannon: texas congressman ron paul took the top spot in saturday's california republican party straw poll. he got nearly 45% of the ballots cast while fellow texan, governor rick perry came in second with 29%. paul came in second in the iowa straw poll back in august. >> only been in the 2012 race for a few weeks but recent national polls show that rick perry is leading. he has been touting his credentials as a job creator but some of the opponents say his record isn't all he says it is. james rosen separates fact from fiction. >> when you look at what we

have done over the last decade, we created 1 million jobs in the state of texas at the sim time american lost 2..5 million. >> that is all true and just since the great recession began at the end of 2007, only north dakota, alaska and the district of columbia have grown jobs a at rate faster than texas. indeed, texas accounts for nearly one quarter of all jobs added in america over the last year. >> 95% of all of the jobs that we have created have been above minimum wage. >> that is also true as is the fact that texas average hourly wage for private sector jobs stands at $21.95 good enough to rank 22-out of the regions studied by fox news. also true when you consider all of the jobs that existed in texas in 2010 not just those created over the last decade, the lonestar state ties with mississippi for dead last in the nation in seeing one tenth of its hourly work force earning at or below the minimum wage and improvement on that scar is slow.

since the great recession began, 37 other states have seen their average hourly wages increase fast. texas has a lot of oil and gas in the ground. those are wonderful things but governor perry doesn't believe that he created those things. if he tried to say that it would be like al gore saying he created the internet. >> the energy industry accounts for only 3% of all employment in texas and only 15% of the 278,000 jobs texas gained over the last year. >> rick per arery did not put oil in the ground. rick per arery did not create our border with mexico or the culture of business friendly government limited government. he has done no harm to texas already sterling environment for business during his tenure. at the same time, 80% or 90% of the job growth in texas is due to factors that were here before governor perry and will be here after governor perry. >> perhaps because his job record is so susceptible to statistical slicing and dicing

and assessments like those of professor jones and mitt romney perry was careful to say "we have created 1 million jobs not i have created 1 million jobs. ". in washington, james rosen, fox news. a newly released study concludes a number of social media outlets are censoring relidging view points or banning them all together. >> thanks for joining us today. tell are us more about the study and some of the examples. i know that apple there have been concerns about apps that were initially approved but some folks found them offensive and they disappeared. >> we started the john milton project for religious peace. these are tremendous innovations but they pose a problem for freedom of speech.

we looked at apple in particular and their practices. on two separate occasions they blocked apps from the eye tunes application store because of the religious content of the belief systems in the two apps and have written policies that causes quite a bit of con sternation in terms of being vague and forbidding things that are offensive and that term is not defined. a view point that is reladies and gentlemennous in nature on the app store but deemed to be misleading or not accurate they will strip it off. apple has become a judge of the theological content of your religious beliefs. >> a couple of the apps from agencies for traditional marriage or folks leading people away from the homosexual lifestyle or referring them from that choice.

they said that apple must take them down and mounted a campaign against them. how does apple view as one side views it as a healthy acceptable view point and the other side sees it as something that is very negative and bigoted? >> not only apple but the 7 media platforms all had policies against what they call hate speech. here is our position on this. you know, steve jobs back in 1985 the founder of apple made an interesting statement. he said that these internet-based communications of which apple is one, are to communications in the 21st century what bell telephone and the invention of the telephone network was in the 20th century. we wouldn't allow the telephone companies to refuse service to say our church or house of worship because they didn't like the religious beliefs. apple shouldn't censor off the

ideas they don't like. we think it is more speech and not less. >> we reached out to apple and we did not hear back from them after numerous attempts. i want to focus on one positive. you say you gave an a plus to who? >> twin citieser in their written policies sea we are not going to -- twitter saided we are not going to sensor content. we are going to allow it as long as it is legal content. we think that is the policy that all of the new media giants ought to follow. we all know if you took a telephone directory and took the first ten lawyers in the yellow pages and put them in a room we would all agree what the exceptions to free speech are in citedment to violence and child pornography and so forth. everything else ought to be allowed. >> thank you very much. >> shannon: another legal

>> shannon: federal investigators still trying to figure out exactly what caused the deadly plane crash in reno, nevada. the bottom of the hour and peter has the top stories. hi, peter. >> ntsb investigators focusing the investigation on the tail of the plane after look at pictures and video of the crash. both showed something possibly coming off the plane before it hit a large group of spectators. nine people including the pilot have died as a result of that crash. pakistan says taliban fighters have shot down a u.s. drone along the afghan border and have the pieces in hand. u.s. security officials are not yet revealing the cause of the crash. former president bill clinton is praising president obama's jobs plan. clinton says obama could even

launched a strong offensive in baniwalid. getting ahead of tanks and artillery and beaten back from with you forces who held the higher strategic grounds. we understand from a rebel source there they suffered 15 dead and another 60 wounded. and it has also been reported there there is tensions between the rival groups of the rebels with some accusing local fighters of being traitors and spreading information to qaddafi loyalists. over at sert, the hometown of qaddafi there is intense street to street fighting there. we understand from rebels we have spoken to they have got as far as qaddafi's palace in the town but they are being held back by snipers. in overnight action they lost at least 20 of their number and scores more injured there. also intense fighting in other parts of the city but rebel

commanders say that they hope to launch free fronts there now to try to take that town in the next few days. now, despite this, the ongoing fighting, libya's new transitional council has launched plans to unveil a new government. they are hoping to have it in place in the next few days. it does seem strange when we have ongoing fighting but they really want to get this country back up and running and a rebel commander did say today that he hoped that the fighting would be over within the next couple of days. back to you, shannon. >> shannon: david piper with the latest live from libya. thank you so much. >> shannon: the battle over the individual mandate at the center of the president's healthcare law continues this week when a federal appeals court hears jet another challenge. joining us, the attorney arguing the case. and the chief operating officer for the center for american progress and former senior advisor in the obama administration. welcome to you both. >> nice to be here.

>> thank you, shannon. >> shannon: you lost the battle at the lower court. how do you plan to change the judge's minds in this appeal. >> in the court of appeals it is a whole different round. two conservative appointees and one more on the left of center. i think these are falling close to idealogiccal lines but not always. we had a republican judge went against the position we advocated in the sixth circuit and a democratic judge went with us in the 11th. this is the necessary stop for what will ultimately be decided by the supreme court of the united states. it looks like our case out of the district of columbia and the 11th circuit cases are the two lead cases right now. i suspect those will be the two granted review. it will be the supreme court that ultimately decides it. we will focus on the constitution issue which is the unconstitutionality of the individual mandate. this is a stop on the way to the supreme court. >> shannon: so folks understand where we are atf this point,

some upholding the mandate, others striking it down. what is the best argument for the administration on upholding the individual mandate. >> the most important argument is that it is a feat of judicial activism to overturn an act of congress. it is surpriseing that we had conservatives who have attacked judicial activism, liberal judges, new interpretations of the constitution. the same conservatives arguing to use that kind of judicial activism against the affordable care act. and so i think the main argument that proponents have is that the commerce clause allows the federal government to regulate issues and the economic marketplace, healthcare, health insurance is in the economic marketplace and is a that is why the congress should absolutely -- the courts actually should absolutely find this constitutional and be conservative arctivists concern.

>> i have done a lot of cases at the supreme court of the united states where i challenged federal and state statutes when i think they are unconstitutional. it is did congress and the administration have the authority when the bill went in into effect and became law to pass a that you s the most ex-expansionive view of the commerce law. i hope they will make a determination that they overstepped their bounds. i think that is the argument. trying to cast this as a case of judicial activism. i litigate at the supreme court of the united states. i'm regularly challenging arenac counties of the state and the senate and the house when they back laws, the federal government. that is not judicial activism. that is a different scenario when the judges are creating the law or interpreting the way that is foreign to what the congress said. the constitutionality test has nothing to do with judicial activism. it has to do with is the court looking at the law and determining whether congress had the authority to pass the law in the first place. that has nothing to do with

judicial activism. >> shannon: jay sounds like he is warmed up and ready to go for the argument. >> we are. >> this exactly is judicial activism because it is constitutional and within the commerce clause and they are creating new arguments and new interpretations to do it and for those conservatives who attacked the right toe privacy, that is what they are doing in the case and it is unfortunate there is this level of hypocrisy going on. >> shannon: it will be for the nine brilliant minds on the supreme court to settle this. thanks for joining us. we will keep an eye on the arguments this week and keep you updated. >> shannon: despite the billions washington has spent trying to stimulate the economy, unemployment is high. brenda buttner is live with who are more on what conditions president obama's plan is against against. >> not long after the president

presented its plan to create new jobs. america learned what a big job he has. how few jobs there really are even after his first shot at creating them. word from the labor department hit washington thursday that the number of people asking for unemployment benefits jumped last week to the highest level in three months. weekly applications rising by 11,000 to a seasonally adjusted 428,000. a bit of irony that the week included the labor day holiday. now, unwanted wh holidays are e norm these days for many more than the official 9.1% unemployment rate. yes, 14 million people are unmany ployed. but that is not all. those without a job have to fight for work with nearly 9 million more not counted as unemployed. part timers who want full-time work and get this, more than one in three have been out of work for a year or more. and this is not just on a national basis which is, of course, 9.1%.

key swing states are facing higher unemployment rates as well. compared with july, illinois and pennsylvania saw the biggest one month increases in their rates, up 4/10% each. the culprit there, the government. yes, cutbacks in government jobs hitting hard. nevada was another high jobless rate, 13.4%. overall, unemployment is highest in the west and lowest in the northeast. but look around you. if you are unemployed, you are competing with 4.5 people for every job. usually it is one to three. no wonder the president is trying to come up with another answer this week. more on the so-called buffett rule later this afternoon. shannon, back to you. >> shannon: everybody can't wait to hear more about that and how it is going to play out. thank you very much. >> okay, thank you. >> shannon: fire breathing dragons and lobster cars? how cool is that? this they come from interesting

>> shannon: this week there will be a showcase of a variety of science experiments and all kinds of inventions and quirky things in new york. julie banderas has more on themaker fair. it looks pretty interesting, julie. >> you could say that again. more than 500 of the craftiest inventors, artist, technology enthusiasts, tinkerers are sharing this weekend. it is put on by make magazine where do youngsters yourselfers can celebrate your right to tweak, hackl and bend any technology to your own will and these what are they have come up with. the people and projects were run a wild gentleman mutt as you can see from the life sized fire breathing dragon to it a car covered in singing lobsters to a solar powered care sell to name a few. organizers saymaker fair has something for everyone and the

best way to engage families old and young is to hands on. >> we see it as a way to stimulate creativity and cultivate the imagination and get young people interested in science and technology and engineering. to show them that, you know, what underlies something as wonderful as the fish car is a lot of really interesting technology but also humor and creativity and imagination. >> even though its main goal is to entertain, the technology used by each inventor is cutting edge. organizers hope to spark an interest in math and science in our younger generation and a passion for really learning how things work. dale dougherty the founder ofmaker fair says if it is a do it yourself project then he wants to see it. >> i'm really interested in the kinds of innovations that come up from the grass roots. people that are tinkering and making things and i saw this as just an opportunity to share what you do. it is much like an old

fashioned fair in that you might bring things to it but the old fashioned fairs were pigs and pies. this is rockets and robots. >> and by the way, this is the sixth year ofmaker fair. so far it has been held in san francisco, detroit and new york city. while the fair only runs through today in new york it is expanding to other cities pretty rapidly, shannon. >> shannon: i hope it is coming here. >> do you have some weird hobbies you are not sharing with us. >> i'm not crafty. my mom is. it skipped a generation. a car covered in lobsters that move. where do you get that. thank you. >> the gop has a huge week coming up in the sunshine state and a poll shows a new front runner is emerging there. we will tell you who, next.
