of murdering his wife in their lavish mansion. hello, i'm jamie colby, it's good to have you here. >> it's good to have you here, i'm kelly wright. welcome to a new hour inside fox news headquarters. ground guilty of is shooting higgs wife diane back in 2009. >> in we the jury, find the defendant guilty of second degree murder as charged. >> joining us live now, steve harrigan live in orlando, florida with more details. steve? >> kelly, some real emotion in the courtroom behind me just after that verdict was read. ward's two college aged daughters were openly sobbing throughout the proceedings and calling out to their father who is now convicted of second degree murder of their mother, calling out to him, we love you dad. we'll love you always. but after the verdict, the prosecutor took time out to--

(siren sounding), let the emergency vehicles go by. they reminded the events of two years ago and what happened in bob ward's master bedroom. >> out of anger, out of frustration, pulled the gun and shot his wife in the face. and that's hard to listen to the girls no matter how you feel one way or the other, and my heart goes out to him. >> and the prosecution throughout this trial relied heavily on the 911 tape, during that 911 tape, bob ward said on five different occasions i just shot my wife. after the verdict he was fingerprinted and handcuffed and sentenced in six weeks, because he was convicted of second degree murder with a weapon he'll face a minimum of 25 years to life in jail for the 63-year-old bob ward. jamie and kelly, back to you. >> steve harrigan from orlando, thank you.

>> our other big story, also from florida. some 3500 florida republicans gathering in orlando. that is where we'll soon hear from several of the g.o.p. presidential contenders and then the folks will cast their votes and they have a straw poll there and a pretty good indicator in the past of which republican wins the florida primary and goes on to win the republican nomination and watching it all, chief political correspondent, carl cameron live from the orange county convention center. hi, carl, great to see you. an exciting week in orlando with the debate and now, with the vote. we understand not all the candidates are there, but that they're campaigning around the country today. give us a rundown. >> sure, the two frontrunners in the polls and the two likely to do well in the straw poll and mitt romney and rick perry have departed. mr. perry in orlando, did talk to a room over 500 delegates. taking part in the convention,

this is the fifth, for 20 years they've been doing this and can culminates with a straw poll. they haven't always at the presidency at the rpof events and this one certainly does. rick perry's favorite. this morning, as he he was talking to some of the republicans in florida he he he he made the point that notwithstanding what many have reviewed as a weak debate performance a couple of nights ago. mr. perry says the debate style was matters, it's presidential substance, listen to this. >> what americans are looking for in this candidate, they're looking for an authentic, principled leader. >> reporter: when rick perry refers to a slick presidential candidate, it's very clear, based on what he and his aides have been saying, they are referring directly to mitt romney has already arrived in mackinac, island, michigan, mr. perry is there for a g.o.p. convention that's happening there. romney, as soon as he he arrived, went to diner and asked about perry's

immigration position, and one of the answers, the question under debate was a question to many conservatives and here is how romney responded. >> the people who are running for president have different views on a whole range of issues and immigration, social security and so forth and those differences will be weighed by people different ways and i hope support will be made and you let people know what they stand for and if they get with you, that will be terrific. >> and that's almost sort of a counter argument, that he is authentic and let people know what he stands for. and, when he references immigration and social security, it's not by coincidence and those are the two issues on which mr. perry has taken the most heat for in romney's view, wanting to send social security back to the states and on the arguments will be impossible as well as for his position for illegal immigration, which is to oppose a border to border sin cess with the u.n. and the state tuition credits granted toward the children of illegal

immigrants, jamie. >> carl, tell us what the significant of the straw poll today is. >> well, straw polls, first of all, ununofficial elections and the folks will have their identities checked and do have to be for florida and registered to participate in it, and then it's completely unofficial and there will be some 3000 or so ballots cast. the yesterday, there was a separate straw poll by the political action conference and 1500 ballots cast for a senate race and what it does, shows where the activists invested the time and effort to listen to the speeches and to come here for a couple of days and participate. and it's an indication of where the florida republican activists community stands and rick perry has been aggressively organizing for this and the republican party of florida offered up its data base as republican registered participants across the state and any candidate could purchase it for $7500, this whole activity is a fundraiser on some level and mr. perry has been using it, making robo

answering service calls to people, urging them to come and participate and vote for him. by contrast, mitt romney has not done that level of official organizing and florida republicans who do support mitt romney are going around, twisting arms and shaking hands and making cell phone calls and never ever rule out the possibility that ron paul could do well in a straw poll and rick santorum did particularly well in the debate and he could have a good showing as well. >> carl cameron with the latest from orlando and keep an eye on this, and it happens later today. thanks so much, kelly. >> an old nasa satellite falling to earth late last evening, the six ton satellite entered the earth's atmosphere over the pacific ocean, most of it burning up, upon its reentry, but several large chunks are still believed to have survived, now, and nasa is trying to determine where they fell. casey stegall live in los angeles with more details on this, casey, tell us about it, please. >> yeah, kelly, you know, we

have some uncon foirmd reports that some of this space junk, as it's being called, being discovered in alberta, canada. though officials with nasa are in fact trying to confirm that, trying to pinpoint the exact location that the satellite went down. and this of course got a lot of news over the last couple of days. and the u.s. air force telling us that it entered the earth's atmosphere before 1 a.m. eastern time, somewhere over the pacific ocean. and officials had predicted that it would break up more than 20 pieces and the biggest surviving chunk, a little more than 300 pounds. and now, scientists have not confirmed, whether this video is of the actual satellite, but a news camera capturing pictures of what looks like shooting stars over southern california last night. and the whole side of nasa equipment presume meting to earth scares you, experts say it's not that uncommon. >> well, you know, we've had,

over the last 40-some years or 50 years, whatever it is, and putting things into space, we've had a lot of debris come down, sometimes 100 objects a year or more, but we've had only one person brushed on the shoulder by a light piece of debris in all of that time. >> in fact, your chances of being hit by that space junk, according to the experts, about one and 22 trillion, kelly. by the way, this particular satellite launched 20-some odd years ago and it was sent up there to gather climate data, until it ran out of fuel in 2005. it was also built and engineered well above nasa had special programs in place to prevent an uncontrolled crash into earth, like we saw last night, kelly. >> case circumstances ice sack newton's theory fresh upon us, what comes up must come down. the theory of gravity. and in terms of the crash,

nasa tracks all 19,000 known pieces of space debris, roughly the size of a brick and larger, like the decommissioned satellites fall into the at fierce once every year, 42% is considered fragmenttation debris such as unused fuel, dead batteries or broken up satellites and here on the ground, the risk of injury as we heard from casey from orbittal degree is one in 22 trillion. you're 700,000 times more likely in fact to be struck by lightning. >> i don't know if that's comforting. >> no, it isn't. >> we're now a week away from a possible government shutdown. the fight over funding for disaster victims and that's caused a stalemate in congress. republicans want to offset that spending with budget cuts and democrats, well, they're fiercely opposed to those cuts. the neither side seems willing to budge. peter doocy is covering it live for us in washington. peter what happened and where do we go from here?

>> jamie, it's interesting. and the fact that the stop gap funding bill has not passed has the republican senator from missouri wondering what's going to come out of of the deficit cutting super committee that involves both houses of congress down the the line. what they're doing is a lot more complicated than this. what this is, a bill the control controlled house passed and the democratic control senate. on the government a few more weeks and a lot of lawmakers ended up leaving town yesterday because there were no plans over this weekend. and even though democratic majority leader harry reid from the senate begged them to stay. >> and that's why i'm calling on my colleagues, and mcconnell, speaker boehner, take the weekend, work with us, cool off, let us work together to find common ground. >> now, next friday, september 30th, is the day the government will shut down as a continuing resolution on the government is not passed and that's when the speaker of the

house john boehner said not to count on, even he though he's scratching his head and wondering why the version of the bill was even shot down at all by the senate. >> there's no threat of government shutdown, let's just get this out. this continuing resolution was designed to be a bipartisan bill. and we had every reason to believe that our counterparts across the aisle would support it. and again, the big issue here is fema funding which the senate majority leader harry reid says might run out on monday or tuesday, now, republicans are saying that they want a disaster victims to get the money that they need, but they want the new spending for fema to be paid for by big cuts elsewhere and the democrats are taking issue with where the cuts would be coming from, including an automobile industry loan program. jamie. >> all right. we're going to talk more about this now, peter, thanks. >> yeah. >> this looming goverent shutdown is raising more questions over the congress's

leadership and how they're doing. the job approval of congress, the ratings already at a disappointing, maybe even shocking 12%. and in upcoming recess, fueling new concerns over the ability to tackle issues if they're having trouble with the small ones. a former aide to chuck schumer, brad blake, a former deputy assistance to george w. bush, it's great to see both of you today. >> great to be here. >> let's start with you, brad and ask you, should congress have gone on recess over this weekend? >> absolutely, absolutely. the house passed the bill. that should have been bipartisan. again, the democrats have their philosophy of rob peter to pay paul. it's like a storm damaged roof at somebody's home. they want a new car, but they want a roof and they can only pay for one. what do you do? to fix the roof for $5,000 instead of going out and putting $5,000 on a new car. and the congress wants it both ways. and they're spending money we just don't have, and the american people are sec of it. now, this is only 1.6 billion

and over a trillion dollar budget. the fact that they can't get their act together, the democrats to put a chill on a budget. i think the american people are going to reject that. >> okay, all right. >> athey stay there won't be the cuts the republican wanted in the house. how are democrats planning to pay for it then? >> well, you know, i want to know how bush paid for it when katrina hit. >> it's always bush, come on, get off the bush thing, bush is gone. >> and back then, back then, republicans had heart. >> chris, let's talk about the here and now. >> and saying, hey, hold on, brad, you had a chance to rhetoricalize whatever you did just now. >> tell the truth. >> in the white house, you passed a bill that gave aid. he didn't worry where it would come from you worried about that during the budget process. there's a super committee that's going to fix the deficit and i know the goons

in the house of representatives think they have a cure. the cure is let's kill anything that gives jobs to working people in america, like that loan, auto industry loan. what i'm saying, brad, there are people in the country hurting and the republicans in the house of representatives are playing games. >> no, we're not. >> but, chris, let me jump in for a second. >> it's not going to get the bill passed earlier in the week. >> i think you've just called all the members of the house goons? so, if that's the case. >> i called some of the conservatives in the house goons. >> no, no, i think you said all of them. anyway, on record you said all of them. >> let me backpedal. >> you're taking it back now. if that's the case, who is going to do the job better? who is going to agree on the big and small issues, get it done, the approval rating isn't at a stunning 12%, and how concerned are you that the democrats in the house, even the senate if they don't get it done will be there.

>> i'm he very concerned. i think we need some wholesale changes in the house of representatives for sure. and there are a lot of people there, brad, if you ask him privately would admit that this should have been a routine let's pass this bill and let the super committee work it out as we planned earlier in the year we would. >> chris, i agree with you, should have been passed. >> and you have to twist the knife on working men and women in the country. that's what they have to do. >> the problem is, you guys want to spend money and you don't want to offset that spending with-- it's pay as you go and-- >> there are. >> spending money we don't have. >> i've got to leave it there. >> this hurricane hit my state and people need the aid now and republicans and howls of representatives better just do it. >> give them the money. >> chris and brad, seems to be mutual agreement the disaster victims need it, how do we pay for it, borrow like brad and saying like you ys want it do or actually make cuts like chris says on i think i've got that. great to see both of you.

this discussion will surely continue, thanks. >> wow, well, shots ringing out as the pope prepares for mass in germany. a security guard hit and a man arrested. details coming up. >> also, the recent satellite that fell to earth, it isn't the only space junk that could come crashing down. you better look up ahead. there's a lot of stuff up there. how do we clean it up. >> sure is. man, taking flight. why these guys are looking at right into the side of a massive mountain. there's 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 fresn growing businees use machine-to-machine technology from verizon wireless. susie ! the vending machine... already filled. cool be. because the business with the best technology rules.

>> well, that nasa satellite that fell from the sky is now calling our attention to the map of space junk forming high above our heads. with last night's reentry into the earth's atmosphere, just the beginning? joining us now, travis taylor, excuse me, travis, one of the stars on national geographic's rapid city red next. love that title. and exploring ways to protect the earth from collisions with objects in space. so, travis, why can't we, or why can't nasa actually

predict when the occurrences might take place. >> it's a good question, one thing, earth is really big and the atmosphere changes based on solar activity. if there's a sun spot, we've had a few in the last few months, happen and the if they heat the air in the balloon it get bigger and the drag changes on the satellite, on the orbittal debris. we don't exactly know how much drag is it on the thing, so we have to wait until they start falling and then track them. >> well, it's like a law of gravity, right? what comes up must come down. no matter how many of the the dividers we build, once we send them up, at some point, they're going to lose their power and then have to break back through our atmosphere, falling down. why can't we do something about that in terms of maybe collecting it, collecting the space junk? >> yeah, well, you know, that's a good, another good thing that we need to be looking into, you know, as a species, because there's a lot of junk you up there, there's

a lot of extra satellites, a lot of times they don't actually die, run out of funding and we don't need them anymore and we turn them off and put them into a junk orbit or a trash orbit and eventually lower them down to fall back and burn upon reentry. so, everybody's worried that's going to fall on them. that's not the big problem. the big problem is going to hit something up there, that's important to us, and like, you know, just a year or so ago we had to move the space station because this satellite that fell last night was on a collision course for it. and that's expensive to move the space station. we need to figure out a way to get up there and collect these stuff and either bringing it down or putting it up. out of the way. we need to do something to it. >> kelly: so you're saying that it's a remote chance of it hitting someone's home or falling on someone's head, for example. >> oh, yeah, 1 in 20 trillion chances, that's why a million, that's a small number. you might as well sit on the couch and continue watching

the ball game and not worry about a satellite on your head. more concerned about one of the satellites pieces breaking off and hitting an astronaut or interfering with the pictures of football you're watching today. >> kelly: you've got to tell me about your show "rocket city rednecks", i love the show, pretty exciting. >> yeah, we enjoy it. one of the things we're trying to do is do big problems, solve some problems with regular ingenuity that a lot of us should have. a lot of us rocket scientists down in the south would like to apply and the first thing we did, figured out a way to bomb proof a truck. ied's is a big problem in iraq and afghanistan and so we took a bunch of beer cans and built some armor and put it on a truck and blew the truck up and turned out the armor we invented protected that truck. >> kelly: who says drinking beer doesn't have value? >> that's exactly right. >> kelly: all right.

>> welcome back. another mideast crisis maybe on the horizon. palestinian president mahmoud abbas giving the united states two weeks to consider his bid for palestinian state hood. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying it should be rejected. here are both men speaking at the u.n. yesterday. >> either there are those who believe that we are an unnecessary people, unwanted people in the middle east, or those who believe that in fact there is a missing state that

needs to be established immediately. >> the truth is, that israel wants peace with the palestinian states, but the palestinians want a state without peace. and the truth is, you shouldn't let that happen. >> kelly: all right. there you have it from both men. aaron davis miller, with the upcoming book, and he'll weigh in on this issue. thank you for being with us, aaron. this is really a very difficult situation, that the palestinian president put basically the united nations, the united states, as well as your ad, of course, russia, into. what do you think is going to happen as a result that this request to the u.n. for recognition as being a state? >> i think the americans will go to great lengths to avoid a veto. they'll try to convince members of the security council not to act on this and

try if they can, the process to get the israelis and palestinians back to the table. none of this is likely to change matters for the better. the fact is the prospects of an israeli-palestinian agreement right now are slim to none and the president rightly should attend to domestic economic issues up to the election and wrong time, wrong place and i think you'll end up with a lot of unhappy people and a year that's going to be a year of dancing around and trying to manage an issue that we just can't solve. >> kelly: can it also lead to a year of perhaps more renewed violence there between the palestinians and israelis? something that the world is certainly hoping not to see develop? >> well, sadly, violence, confrontati confrontation terrorism has been sadly, a natural part of this process for three decades and yes, you're going to see outbreaks, but i don't think your he' going to see the kind of surge, interfata, a major

uprising, and paradoxically, hamas, and israelis have a stake in not seeing that happening. palestinian, don't want to jeopardize half a billion dollars in aid they receive courtesy of congress. the more does abbas want to court the risk of the arab spring, he knows what happens when angry, angry palestinians or angry arabs rise up against leaders who don't deliver. everybody has a stake at least trying to keep the lid on. >> everybody has a stake, but what is at stake for the palestinians as they try to gain some independence to be that kind of state? do they deserve to be that? >> well, i would argue they have a just and compelling cause, but look, the reality is, you know, ethics and morality are certainly a strong part of history. but, so is smart policy, politics, and luck. and the truth is, the palestinians and the israelis have not yet found a formula.

violence will not get them a state. the u.n. security council resolution will not get them a state. only negotiations and look, i'm not pushing them back to the the table because, if you sat netanyahu and abbas down right now, face-to-face negotiations, within minutes, you'd end up with an impasse because the issues on the table, jerusalem borders, security, refuse, gaps are too big, the suspicion is too deep and the regional uncertainty now with attacks on the israeli embassy and the turkey-israeli relationship going south, it's not the greatest time. so we're really left, i think, sadly with a situation that we're going to have to continue to manage, not solve. >> kelly: okay, you're saying managed not solved. what is the best way to manage the rocky road for some peace between the palestinians and the israelis? >> a couple of things, you're going to have to continue to support abbas' efforts to create institutions of state hood on the ground and you

definitely want to do that and the palestinians made a lot of progress both economically and politically, and building in second. you want to keep israeli palestinian security cooperation, vibrant as you possibly can. and finally, you do want to try to explore, in as low key a manner as possible, whether or not you can get any kind of an agreement. between this israeli prime minister and this palestinian president. because, without anchoring this, in the political process, you're going to end up without managing people's expectations, you're going to end up with trouble. so, i just don't have a lot of confidence in the fact that you're going to get anywhere with these two guys. >> and so we continue to see quiet diplomacy as they try to move it forward with some hopefully resolution down the road. aaron david, thank you as always for shedding light on this important topic in the middle east. >> a pleasure. >> jamie. >> jamie: thanks, kelly. everybody's facing these rocky

economic times. it's bad news, especially though, if you're nearing retirement. the general rule of thumb used to be, you need 75% of your current salary just to keep the standard of living once you retire, there's some new research right now and suggests you may need a lot more of your current paycheck just to stay afloat. we want to find out exactly what we will need. everybody dreams of he retirement some day, including patricia powell. >> that's true. >> jamie: founder and ceo of powell financial group. i don't see you retiring soon. you're helping too many people plan for theirs, what do we need to do? >> first of all, the 75% rule was never right. it's been around for years and in my experience i've never seen anybody retire for 75% of their income and be happy in retirement. so, it was always wrong. some of the other estimates are getting a little, maybe, a little bit of hyperbole in there, but we're woefully ill-prepared. the typical person is woefully

ill-prepared to face retirement. >> one of the studies said you need 135% of what you're earning now and it isn't defined what now is in your career. >> right. >> jamie: if we need more than we're earning now and so many of us are out of work. what do we have to look forward to? how can we plan for retirement? >> i think, first of all, you have to ask yourself. you know, where do you stand right now? and you start looking at your current expenses where everybody, everybody starts and my experience has been people spend the same amount of money in retirement that they spent before they retired, almost no exceptions, they spend it differently, but they almost never spend less, it's a really good place to start and then you have to look at things you want to add. you have to add boring things like med gap policy, because medicare doesn't cover everything. you have to add things like long-term care insurance, boy, something we all want to spend money on and then add the fun things, you want a vacation every year, you want to do in rehe tierme

retirement and add beyond the 75%, and some expenses that don't show up every year. you don't buy a car every year, but you're going to be driving in retirement and build that stuff in and looking at sources of retirement income and here is where we're all getting in trouble. you look at pensions, do you know that only about 20% of the people in the private work force are covered by a traditional pension, 80 percent of us have no pension whatsoever. public workers are a little bit different. social security, you can see the scrutiny that social security is under now and why is that? because there are 75, rather, 78 million of us baby boomers be and people between 1946 and 1964, who are already in medicare and will be hitting their full retirement age starting this coming january. we're going to overwhelm, the system. and first thing, your savings, guess what? your savings are woefully inadequate before this recession started and most people have not gotten

themselves together during this period of really economic stress and it's a tough thing to do, but the sooner you start, the easier it's going to be. none of us want to work forever. >> jamie: no, that's true. so it sounds like you're saying save what you can and plan even bigger, because you'll have those added expenses. >> and-- glad you brought the social security question, because tomorrow on sunday in our 11 a.m. hour we're going to talk about how to maximize your social security benefits. >> okay. >> jamie: something a lot of people are thinking and glad you're with us today. >> a lot of little tricks there, too. >> jamie: thanks so much. >> thanks for having me. >> kelly: the unroof that has the power to block out the sun's harshest rays. and gary gastelu takes mercedes slk roadster out for a spin. >> now you see it, now you don't. now you can see out, and now, you sort of can't. >> the redesigned 2012 mercedes benz slk 350 has a classic phase top by a

. . welcome back, everybody. there's a major drug shortage right now in our country and it's driving prices up. according to reports, it's costing patients their lives 15 people are already said to have died. will it get worse? joining us now dr. mark segal of our fox news medical a-team. good to see you, we've talked about this mostly with cancer drugs and generics and injectables. there's some news you want to tell us about. >> they're 209 drugs short right now. three times what it was five years ago, these are life saving drugs and the f.d.a. is starting to have meetings about this. day long meetings starting monday. shocking during surgeries it's going on. trying to pass a new law that will require drug companies to alert the f.d.a. when a shortage occurs. i think that's a great idea. let me tell you what the shortage is due to. shortage of raw materials,

we're getting 80% of our raw materials from prescription drugs overseas, shovel ready project. >> jamie: shocking. >> let's get the government subsidizing materials here instead of going there to get them. generics, not enough profit and the drug companies don't make a profit. >> jamie: so they don't make the drugs. >> they don't make the drugs, that involves chemotherapy, heart drugs, steroids, antibiotics. the fourth problem is that not only the generics involved, but sterilization is very, very expensive and the fourth problem, i think i'm the only one reporting this, by the way, a lot of the drugs go overseas to the army, to the war effort overseas and end up getting stock piled over there and not used. >> kelly: when they're needed right here. >> when they're needed here. i'm not against that, in a combat zone you don't know how many drugs, antibiotics you need, but that's skimmed right off the top. >> jamie: can patients do anything about this? >> we're doing it right now. i think that patients have to complain. i have patients on chemotherapy drugs is that have been snatched away from

them when they are literally life saving on rare tumors and i think the f.d.a. has been hearing about this. not only can the government be involved in sub subsidizing raw materials, make sure that the drugs are available when they run short. i'd like to see the f.d.a. more involved in this. >> kelly: and a doctor in nashville says it's unethical and putting lives at stake. why is this being done and what can you do about it. >> it's happening because we have too many patients and not enough drugs and it's a profit prom. drug companies are expected to be altruiic, but make money. if we pass more laws we'll see more solution. on the other hand with a health reform, and moron more customers and more and more people older and getting sicker, this is a huge problem. >> jamie: i like your ideas, shovel ready projects should get the resources we need to make the medications here and not overseas, and that will save money and make them less

expensive. if they're not producing the generics you need, dr. siegel, we appreciate it. great to have you today, jame colby with kelly wright. the journal editorial report is next, keep it mere. have a great day.
