his views on foreign policy are dramatically different than mine. he wants to expand these things. he believes in the out and federal reserve and all this. that's what we should be talking about. reporter's question last night mr. cain says he does not ever plan to address theç harrassment allegations again. that doesn't mean nobody will ever ask him about it again. >> absolutely not. i have a feeling the questions will keep coming. >> we want to know what you think. has the immediate >> been fair or unfair to -- has the media been fair or unfair to herman cain. we'll read some of your responses later on in the show. ç israel's president says the international community is closer to pursuing a military solution in response to concerns about iran's nuclear program rather than a diplomatic one. comments are the latest move amping up tense.

-- up tensions. >> reporter: theç president in israel usually seen as a dove for him to say the international community needs to do whatever it takes is a raising the bar of the amount of spay better rattling out of jerusalem as israel -- fries to put iran and is nuclear back on the front page ahead of an report due out tuesday. alsoç important to note what israeli leaders are not saying. when netanyahu and the defense minister met with the u.s. defense secretary a month ago they would not tell the united states what specific military plan israel had for dealing with iran. twice before israel had struck the nuclear program of is neighbor and the u.s. is very interested in israel not taking any unilap)al action. the prime minister would not make that promise. clearly, israel is trying to raise the stakes as they

certainly want iran not to get a nuclear weapons. let's talk about iran's nuclear program for a . well buried. also well hidden. -- making an israeli strike extremely difficult. even if they were to strike thought they would only set the program back about two years. iran has promised a ing repriseal attack, that would include a regional war involving hamas, hezbollah, syria and iran. something world is concerned about. there's a thought that the world community will be iran coming this week. israel's threat may spur china and russia,ç who are usually iran's protect tore at the security council to act and -- vote against iran as to protect from an israeli strike this may be more of a pr offensive than a threat to do anything right now. but it can't be ignore wad is coming out of jerusalem. >> leland vittert, thank you.

trillion deal than a 1.2ç trillion deal. >> how so? a lot of members are feeling pressure. they've come together in a bipartisan way in the house to say we've got your back because we know you have to make tough decisions to get to something like four trillion. >> people in colorado are making tough decisions in this terrible economy. and they expect this to our work "ne and do our job. for the last year i've heard people here say that they want us to materially address the problem more like four trillion than 1.2. they want the solution to be bipartisan. they don't believe in a go it alone approach. that is achievable at the four trillion level. from the economy's point of view, it also would give theç markets some confidence that we can get beyond the political games that we've been playing the last 18 months and do something useful. there's 2.3 trillion of cash

sitting on the balance sheets of america's companies right now. it is not being invested in job creation because people have no idea what interest rate environment we are going to be in because they don't know whetherç washington will get out of is own way. a larger deal would allow us to create a shot in the arm for the economy. >> do you think tax increases need to be part of getting to that four trillion? >> i do. i think anybody that has done the math agrees. bowles simpson commission the bipartisan commission that reported now over a year ago had roughly ratio of 3-1ç cuts to revenue increases. those increases are gotten by lowering the rates corporate and individual on everybody. getting rid of a bunch of loopholes and deductions or minimizing them, simplifying the tax code that makes sense from the point of view of our economy. >> we don't know what is going

on in the discussions.ç we know at least one person on that committee agrees with you, representative clyburn, a democrat calls himself a four trillion kind of guy. sounding like preparing to go big or wants to as you suggested. sounds like you think the american people are ready for some of the sacrifice that may mean. you don't get to four trillion in cuts without somebody$sacrift of people sacrificing somewhere. >> as i said earlier, my view is people in colorado and i think i can generalize it to the american people, want to know we are in it together. they want to be asked to make a contribution. they want to know that everybody is in. and that's part of the problem thatxp[2 we've had. there are people that saying well, i would be willing to consider revenueç i don't think you are serious about entitlement reform. i would be willing to consider entitlements, but i don't think you are serious about revenue. we need to get that the boat at the same time that is going

to require an act of leadership. i think we should have an up or down vote on the senate floor on bowles-simpson and i think would it pass. >> senator bennett out of colorado thank you for your time.ç we'll see if the committee heeds your advice. >> thanks for having me. residents in oklahoma city still rattled by aftershocks 4.0 quake hit the region this morning. the biggest 5.6 quake yesterday. the epicenter of that quake was near sparks between tulsa andç oklahoma city. aftershocks were felt as far away as tennessee and wisconsin. it even rattled the studios of one local tv station as they were about to go live on the air. >> it is now calming as another quake has just hit. i still hear a few lights rattling here in our studio. we still have our --ç i don't

80,000 net jobs. the private sector hiring 140,000 -- 104,000. government employment falling by 24,000. we would need at least 1 theiry,000ç jobs each -- 130,000 jobs each month to keep up in the adult population. the number of unemployed americans has fallen a small bit but still 13.9 million. with the average length of time out of work nine months, according to the bureau of labor stats. if you are a teen, forget it. your unemployment rate is 24.1%. education does make a difference. the unemployment rates of those were less than a high school diploma is 14% of the unemployment rate for college grads 4.4%. overall, the rate is 9%. a bit better the older you get as you may have more skills.

you also may have to work instead ofç retire as you hoped to. the 55 plus unemployment rate is 7%. here's the real bottom number if you add in all those discouraged people and others who are working part-time, who would rather work fulltime the unemployment rate is not 9%, but rather 16.2% that's the so-called underemployment rate. theç economy would need to add about 13 million jobs to bring unemployment down to 6% that's nearly 370,000 each month. we are a long way from that. given that local and state government continues to face that will be on the shoulders of private employers. many of whom are stillç handing out pink slips. we are inching in the right way, but we've got a long way to go >> some progress we'll see if -- thank you.

claims like those become big business and big headaches for business. >> these types of claims unfortunately are a cost of doing business some legitimate, some not. >> the eeoc handled 12,000 complains in 2010. estimated to be a small fraction of claims that employersç handled internally rather than proceeding to formal legal adjudication. companies give a pay out with or without acknowledgement of wrongdoing. >> it saves time, headache and diverse of resources. those decisions are made everyday and don't indicate any sort of wrongdoing took place. >> while each agreement has different terms almost all have onening in common.ç >> 99.-- 99.9% would have a confidentiality agreement where the party agree not to disclose and terms and conditions what has been paid. >> in the case involving cain

restaurant association would despite the allegations new poll shows cain is still in a strong position the campaign says donations are flooding in. a poll released friday conducted after the allegations against cain went public.ç it shows him neck-and-neck poll with 24%, cain 23%. joining us to talk about that and more, former republican national committee spokesperson. and former democratic national committee press secretary. great to see you both. it sounds like at least so far, these accusations aren't the big polls. it seems it is causing some to run to his defense and maybe a silver lining. >> i think part of it is people still perceive cain as authentic. they like him. i think they find it wonderful that he is not a career

politician. these are all the reasons why he's resonated with voters to begin with. the flip side isç, with these claims that are unconfirmed, i think given clinton, edwards, all of these things we've heard over the past couple of years and in reality the way we live in society, i think some people can even relate to what has happened. the holiday parties are coming up soon. when people have a few drinks, people tend to be more friend itç is about how we manage our lives. i think a lot of people can relate to someone misinternship continuing a phrase or another. >> very fine line in the workplace. something interesting in the poll when they asked whether the allegations would have an impact on the likelihood they would support cain, 69% said it would make no difference. did that surprise you? >> i was a large number.ç for those who said that it did matter said they wouldn't support him. he can point to better

fundraising and more attention since this happened. he smartly attacked the press. the narrative has changed for him. he's uncomfortable. he doesn't want to talk about in more. much like rick perry with the debates. now cain doesn't want to do this any more. he understan s the narrative stands to change from 9-9-9 to women who told him no-no-no. i don't think he likes that. >> let's look to the broader picture. next fall, one year from election day. when you look at some of the polling. rasmussen has a poll out looking at a generic gop contender against president obama 47% aheadç of the contender versus 42% for president obama when you break it down into -- [ unintelligible ] where they specifically asked about romney vs. obama the president comes out 1% ahead. either way a tight race. what does somebody have to do

to break out of this field to take the president head on? >> i think part of it is despite caijgj problems, we still have the troops pulling out of iraq at the end of the year. despite the military advisers telling the president is probably not a good move. still at 9%. we still have a deficit problems. jobs bills that aren't going anywhere. the president's jobs bill did not go anywhere that was his own party. despite iç think are distractions from the real issues. despite the fact that politico has over 94 stories about cain, where are the stories about unemployment how we are going two get this country on track? at the end of the day that's what voters care about. who has the best plan and how is this going to affect my ability to put food on the table. that's all they care about >> how does this president turnç things around in his favor? >> the good news for president obama is that he doesn't have to run against generic republican. actually, generic republican

would win the republican nomination i believe. would be more popular than any of the contender. think the president is doing what he needs to do. he know he needs to move the economy forward. i think it is clear that republicans resist soç much because every improvement made in the economy limits their chances of taking back the white house. i think he's not going to top talking about his jobs plan and his proposals to improve the economy. republicans probably won't stop doing everything they can to block those. he will know that he's on the right side as long as he keeps pressing that point. i think you've seen movement in theç president's numbers on popularity and the economy that is definitely their game plan and they will probably do well. >> here's the problem, anything that he does today is not going to have an impact because for a -- we are a year out anything he does today is not going to have an impact. the economy we have today is the economy we are going to have in november 2012.

>> disagree? >> i definitely disagree. anç improved economy is bad news for the republicans they are rooting for a bad economy. like you see them tkprag dragging their heels on that. >> we should all root for an improved economy. former president clinton has a new book coming out. we give you a sneak peek at highlights and tell you what he has to say about the current president, right after this break.

last democratic president in the white house is giving advice to the present within. president clinton praises the president's handling of the crisis and dings him a little bit. he writes that obama should have raised the debtç ceiling while democrats control both houses of congress. the troop withdrawal is underway in iraq.

luke's wings does? >> first, thanks for having us this is nice to be on national television. we've had a lot of coverage in d.c. but never been able to hit the national stage so this is great. luke's wings founded in january of 2008 with the expressed mission of flying families in and out of military hospitals. we believe having family near you during recovery is cal to the process. and we also realize that families almost go bankrupt trying to take care of their wounded warrior. one father or mother will come out and be by the bedside and that leaves the family in a stressful situation there's less money, less income. the other siblings have issues because they don't have the 'tal figures around. by creating rotation plans we can row nate a mom and dad and then the whole -- rotate in a mom and dad and then the whole family. it makes things easier.

the warrior feels less guilt and strain. they in the darkest moments of their life. it is important to make sure they always have their family with them. i(p& attendant changing bandages day-to-day, but to make sure they unstand their fiance, wife and their kids and siblings and parents the whole family unit will be okay. we've been doing this for four years and it is a lot of fun. >> i want to check in with brad and cindy in california. you helped them time with their son eric injure.ç first we have to thank you for the service of your son and the family service. tell us what this program mass meant to you? >> -- program has meant to you? >> incredible. we were able to bring brad out at a certain time when eric and i really needed him through a meeting with jennifer who is a volunteer for luke's wings. everything just went like clockwork2work from the moment we filled out the --

application and brad was on a flight. >> brad, what does it mean when you can be there with your son as he's trying to recover? >> very emotional. fan tick. it is -- fantastic. i don't know how to put it into words, i can't imagine not being thereof. iç was just very, very family, you know what i mean? you have to be there. >> it means everything i know to you all to be reassured to be with him and him as well on his end. fletcher we want to know how people know how they can help. >> brad and cindy nice to see you. we are happy to help you. we want to fly your family together for christmas as well this holiday. we know we are going to keep flying you guys. that means a lot to us you to

be able to did that. that's a nice transition. between now and december 25th, we going be doing our noç soldier spends christmas alone campaign. if you go to our website now lukeswings.org it is specifically for this fundraisinging cause. between now and then all the money we raise -- all 31,500 or so are with their families christmas morning. we get a lotç of requests this time of year. flights are very expensive. we have no office space. we pay no salaries through the wounded warrior transportation project. we try to put as much of that money to flights as we can. anybody watching out there right now, if would you go to our website and donate a dollar or five dollars that gets usç closer. so you know f you donate $350

the average cost of a flight, we will send you a gift card which will be addressed to whoever you would like. basically purchases a wounded warrior flight on behalf of your loved one and you can give that to them this holiday as a gift. we that i is cool. >> that is a great idea.ç we thank you all for sharing your stories hopefully it will inspire oers to get involved. >> thank you. new procedure that can turn brown eyes blue? a scoop on one doctor who says he can do it in 20 seconds. would you want to? stay with us. congratulations. congratulations. congralations. today, the city of charlotte can use verizon technology to inspire binesses to conserve energy and monitor costs. making communities greener... congratulations. ... and buildings as valuable to the bottom line... whoa !

settled but it could be a brutal battle. one of the top two candidates right now, herman cain is lashing out but not at an opponent. he is blaming media for continuing coverage of sexual harassment allegations dating back to the 1970s. we begin with a fox news alert. days after israel successfully tested a missile that could reach iran, israel's president says the international community is closer to pursuing a military solution to their concerns about iran's nuclear program rather than a diplomatic one. those comments are just the latest beating of war drums in the region. leland joins flurries jerusalem with more on the heated rhetoric. >> you have a situation where the israeli president is usually seen as a dove within the international community. he is now saying that the world needs to do whatever it takes

in order to keep tehran from getting the bomb. the war drum pitch continues to get beat faster and faster here. the prime minister and defense minister hereste have had well placed leaks about a possible attack on iran. when the u.s. secretary of defense visited back in october they refused to lay out a plan or even answer specific questions about what israel would do and also said they may not give the united states any kind of warning about a preemptive strike. remember that israel has twice before struck the nuclear programs of its neighbors including hitting iraq and also sitting syria. let's talk about the nuclear program in iran and what it would take for a successful hit. it is well hidden and deep underground. israeli aircraft would have to fly a long way to get there and on top of that even if they were able to hit the iranian nuclear program experts say it would probably only disable it for a couple of years. what is going on here? clearly israel is trying to put the iranian nuclear program

back on the front page back in everybody's mind and in many ways is making this threat to try and raise a little bit of awareness. on tuesday the international atomic energy agency is going to come out with a report and if there is a smoking gun about a possible weapons program inside iran, remember, the iranians are are always saying this is a peaceful program you can bet there is going to be a call by a lot of places including the united states and europe to have more sanctions put on the iranians. typically it is the chinese and russians who vote against those sanctions. this israeli threat and these war drums as you called them shannon could be used by the united states and europe as a leverage against china and russia in order to try and get them to vote for more sanctions rather than let israel go ahead and strike which could certainly spark a regional war here. back to you. >> shannon: leland with the latest. thank you so much.

next year's presidential election is exactly one year away. still no standalone frontrunner on the gop side. first mitt romney and then rick perry and then herman cain. where do things stand today? steve centanni has a wrapup. hi, steve. >> reporter: one year away and the contenders on the gop side is still fluid and this race has proven to be unpredictable. former utah governor john huntsman attacking mitt romney on his changes over important issues. >> i think based on the fact he has been on both sides of the major issues of the day, whether that is life, whether that is guns, whether that is gays, whether it is taxes, makes it very, very difficult if not impossible for mitt romney to be able to beat barack obama next year. >> now, romney has stayed on top or in second place in most polls since the beginning. but others have surged to the front at different times

including michele bachmann, rick perry, and now herman cain. ron paul who has never been the frontrunner said today he will get a boost when people find out more about herman cain. >> i think we have seen sudden surges of candidates and then they fall off again. i think when people get to know what herman stands for, i think that helps me because they are not going to say well, he is not really for any cuts and he is for adding this national sales tax. >> reporter: meantime, president obama watches the gop race and waits to see who the republican nominee will be and he is watching the major campaign issues shaping up and that, of course, jobs and the economy. one democrat today challenged the congressional supercommittee to work out a deficit deal. >> it will be absolutely devastating to our country that not only would it look as if the congress is more disfunctional than it already is but the whole world is

watching that we will be able to come up with something that is big. >> as the gop candidates vie for the nomination the presidential debates already set for next fall beginning october 3 in denver. ready, shannon? >> shannon: we will be there. we will pack up and take our coats and scars and w scars an. >> two faced off last night in a friendly debate. cain seemed to be fighting hard against a third-party, the media. peter doocy is here to tell us more. >> reporter: the debate itself was friendly. over an hour and a half or so they talked about government spending and social security and healthcare. lots of policy came up. sexual harassment never did until afterwards which is when a reporter asked cain about this week's allegations. he said he would never suggest them again while suggesting that the media is unethical for even asking. >> mr. cain, the attorney for one of the women who filed a sexual harassment complaint against you. >> don't even go there. >> can i ask my question?

>> no. >> may i ask a good question? >> where is my chief of staff? please send him the journalistic code of ethics. >> will do. >> cain spokesman j.d. gordon e-mailed me pointing to a few parts of the the code of ethics that the campaign fields are not being upheld. among them, testing the accuracy of information from all sources and identifying sources whereever feasible. keep in mind the women accusing gordon's boss of sexual harassment all remained anonymous so far. cain's come pa si competition e thinks this is a huge distraction and here is why. >> i think the media has blown that way out of proportion. i think there are a thousand stories out of that and dilutes the real debate because his views on foreign policy for instance are dramatically different than mine. he wants to expand these things and believes in the bailout and the federal reserve.

i think that is what we should be talking about. >> reporter: people are still talking about it. a ne new poll shows he has dropping points this week. >> shannon: a 9 i will not be interested in. >> good point. >> shannon: do you think the media has been unfair or fair to herman cain and we have received tons of tweets. weighing inuys are weather hardcore on this one. we have gotten a ton of responses and always want to hear more. tweet us. we will read even more of your responses later on in the show. and they keep flooding in. >> shannon: a highly sought after gop endorsement won't be

going to any candidate any time soon. jim demint says he will not endorse any one before gop voting begins. nor now, the senator tells the washington post he wants to focus on getting conservatives elected to the senate but says he may reconsider foregoing an endorsement as the race progresses on for that top spot. well, republicans are calling them the foregotten 15. the 15 jobs bills the gop controlled house has passed and sent to the stat fo senate for approval. we will show them on the screen. reducing some regulatory burdens and legislation aimed at supporting more offshore drilling. the bills stalled on the senate floor but there is a push to jump start the debate over the bills. texas senator kay bailey hutchison chinson is one of the lawmakers joining the spark. thank you for joining us today. >> thank you, shannon. >> shannon: let's talk about the bills and why they are are not going anywhere in the senate. it is controlled by democrat

there's. do you have any leverage at all to make sure that the bills get considered? >> we are rushing. that is why we had -- we are push. that is why we had the press conference last week. if we could lower the regulatory burden and open the gulf of mexico to safe drilling we would create tens of thousands of jobs. and we are seeing no action at all from the senate. why not take the bill is up? why not have amendments? if the democrats don't like it maybe they he would fail but would some of the democrats support these bills. i think we need action instead of the retreads of more spending and that is all we are getting from the senate. >> shannon: i want to give you criticism that has come from the other side. he says they are forgettable. they leave consumers without financial protections and roll back crucial protections and

says they don't really create jobs they are just more talking points for republicans. your response? >> we are talking about regulations that would all of a sudden put a mother may i in the internet. so any company that wanted a new product or a new service innovative would have to go and see if it's considered reasonable by the fcc. the internet is working fine. we don't want our companies to be at a disadvantage globally because all of a sudden we are having a big regulatory morass in our internet. is one. number two, we know that we can drill for oil in the gulf of mexico. we can create thousands of jobs and cheaper energy. one of the problems we have in this country is a high cost of energy or a shortage of energy and we need to produce that from our own natural resources. those are two of the things that you are talking about. i just think the democrats are stalling on these because they

don't want to take tough votes but these are real job producers at a time when we know we need jobs. >> shannon: as you know, the president has said if congress continues to do nothing h his words that he will be able to campaign against a do nothing congress. it sounds like the house has been busy. senate democrats say these aren't legit bills they are going to vote on. who is to blame for the do nothingness of congress? >> i think that senator reid the majority leader not bringing the bills forward is causing us to not be able to do things. i mean why not bring them up. if he thinks they are not the worth voting on, bring them up, let them have amendments. let us have amendments. let's move forward on these things. the only thing we have passed of significance this whole year is the free trade agreements and one of the things that we did is lay down a marker to the president that we weren't going to confirm some of their key appointees until we got those

free trade agreements and it took us all this time to get those put forward so that we could have free trade and give our consumers better options for lower cost imports into our country and more export opportunities. other than that, we have done nothing and the house has. the house has passed a lot of legislation. it dies in the senate without ever an opportunity to vote on it. that is not what the senate is for. >> shannon: all right, senator, we will continue to watch and see what happens to the bills. i believe speaker boehner said this morning he believes they are up to 22 bills that will be sent over from the house if they are not already there. we will watch and see if any compromise can be reached. we thank you for your time. >> thank you, shannon. >> shannon: three bombs killed at least 8 people and injured 21 others at a central market in baghdad. it happened as shoppers were buying goods for a muslim festival. violence across the country has

dropped dramatically but deadly attacks still happen nearly every day. residents in oklahoma city still recovering from a series of earthquake. the 4.0 earthquake rattled the region this morning. the biggest was a 5-point of magnitude quake yesterday. that was near the community of sparks between tulsa and oklahoma city. aftershocks were felt as far away as tennessee and wisconsin and rattled the studios of at least one local tv station just as they were going on the air live with the news. >> our lights shaking quite a bit here. it is now calming down as another earthquake has just hit. i still hear a few lights rattling here in the studio and we will -- we still have -- if you can see the dura tran back here still shaking here in oklahoma city. >> shannon: no reports of any serious injuries there but the lincoln county management office is reporting significant damage and say highway 62 crumbled in some spots.

one person is dead this morning after a 23 vehicle pileup in weber canyon, utah. it started with a single car crash that ended up cashing fire on highway 24. add in the rough weather and slick roads and you have a deadly mess. unbelievable pictures. four others taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. veteran's day just around the corner and viewers flooding us with news of groups doing good things for our troops and our vets. we will talk about an organization that has been giving back to the troops by giving back to their families. and what ron paul told chris wallace about running as a third-party candidate. >> did k. you say flatly you will support the republican nominee in the off chance it isn't ron paul? >> probably not unless i get to talk to them and find out what they really believe in.

>> shannon: penn state football fans are reeling this morning over news that former defensive coordinator jerry sandusky charged with sexually assaulting 8 boys over a is a year time period. the alleged victims were part of a foundation he established for at risk kids.

other school officials are charged with failing to report the allegations. joe paterno has not been implicated in any wrongdoing. does that mean that you might then consider an independent run? >> it does not mean that at all. >> chris: but would you? >> i have no intentions of doing that. that doesn't make any sense to me to even think about it, let alone plan to do that. >> chris: because? >> because i don't want to do it. that's a pretty good reason, isn't it? >> chris: you answered it right there. >> shannon: i like a very frank answer. ruling out a third-party run, that is what gop presidential hopeful ron paul told fox news today. does he having staying power in the gop primary? right now pulling a third place. i sat down with chris wallace to get information on his one on one. you continued your conversations with one of the

potential gop presidential contenders ron paul. you asked him about how legitimate his candidacy is, can he win at that point. >> chris: and it is interesting because he as opposed to so many of these candidates have gone up and down in the polls, he has stayed steady at 12% to 14%. a respectable third in the polls in iowa and a respectable third in south carolina. the question, of course, is third is okay but it isn't going to get you the nomination. i said what do you do to expand your base? he said not change my views. having said that and i think there is tremendous interest and support for him when it comes to shrink the size of government, lower taxes, less spending, constitutional principles. but when it gets to foreign policy i think that is where it is a bridge too far for a lot of conservatives and today we saw it where he basically said -- i asked what would you do, iran is nearing a nuke breakout. i said what would you do? he said i would be friends with tim.

him. i don't think a lot of conservative republicans think that is the answer. >> shannon: you you asked him about whether he would support the nominee and also run as a third-party candidate. >> he gave two conflicting answers. on the question of supporting the nominee he said not necessarily. he said i would have to talk to them and i have a test of my key issues and if they don't pass that litmus test and one of first was foreign involvement he said i wouldn't support them and my supporters wouldn't want me to. id said this is laying the door for an independent candidacy. he didn't give a flat know but said i have no intention of doing it and i said why not and he said because i don't want to do it. at least for now i take him at his word. i always believed you can take ron paul at h his word. >> shannon: seemed like a moment of honesty, because i don't want to. you also had a couple of key congress members here to talk about bipartisan efforts running sort of parallel with what the fro supercommittee is

doing. >> chris: 60 democrats and 40 o p republicans in the house. we had heath shuler and rim son from idaho. they said we have to go the grand bargain. 1 trillion isn't enough, we have to do 4 trillion. talking about major entitlement reform and hundreds of billions of dollars in new revenue probably not by raising tax rates but by closing loopholes. mike simpson said i will do it and i think a lot of other republicans would do it as well. >> shannon: thanks for the sneak peek. >> you bet. >> shannon: for chris' full interview with congressman paul say right here.

trying to come up with a broader unity government. the goal is to keep greece not euro zone. papandreo expected to step down to make way for some kind of unity government which would be a sign of stability for the rest of europe ha greece has some chance of climbing out of the crisis. it won't be easy. so far the opposition new democracy party has been playing hard ball with the socialists but the party leader meeting with him and the president right now to see if an agreement can be reached either tonight or tomorrow. now, this is a lot at stake. first of all, for greece, billions of dollars in aid from the european union and international monetary fund. also, of course, for the rest of the euro zone because this would be such a blow if greece were to default on its loans and, of course, the entire global economy will also be affected. and finally, shannon, t is interesting what one of the smallest economies in europe can do to the rest of thure are zone and to the global economy.

that is not all. italy is also under severe pressure. they are being monitored by the international monetary fund to see if they are getting funds in place. the prime minister here just has a razor thin majority in parliament. he has a major vote coming up on tuesday. that will be a big test for italy. shannon? >> shannon: and he faced thousands of protesters yesterday as well. greg, thank you very much for the update there. it is what all of us here and you at home want to know. how could the debt crisis in greece and other spots impact the u.s.? senior business correspondent brenda buttner is here live to give us some answers. hi, brenda. >> hi, shannon. what if it is a greek tragedy. why should what is happening on center stage of a small economy over there play such a big role here on wall street? because we have a lot at stake not in greece whose gdp is the equivalent of a small u.s. state like, rhode island, but in europe overall. europe p is a bigger market

than china for u.s. products. more than a fifth of what we send overseas. and u.s. companies have more than a trillion invested there. trade with europe supports many u.s. jobs. large u.s. financial firms hurt when their european peers are having trouble. that is because international banks lend to one another and to corporations. now if that falls apart you will see even less credit available here at home. plus, in the short-term, hard to believe but our stocks, especially next week may follow the fate of greece and europe. why? the eu is in some ways a bit of a domino game. if greece defaults then perhaps italy falls as you just heard from greg burke. why that matters here. if european countries can't pay their bills, if the protesters in the streets who do not want the draconian aah stairity measures required, if europe cannot take care of its own in

the short-term stocks here will likely take quite a hit. that is because earnings season is just about over. there are no big economic numbers out next week and investors will be watching europe even bigger than they did last week we we saw huge volatility based on what happened on the greek stage. if the greek bailout deal holds together that may be bullish for u.s. stocks, especially banks. if not, watch out. we had wild swings on far less dramatic outcomes. that greek tragedy could really translate into some ups and downs. >> shannon: thank you for explaining it all. we appreciate it. >> okay. thank you. >> shannon: in god we trust. just days ago, congress voted to reaffirm that phrase as our official national motto. but president obama criticized lawmakers for the move saying americans have more important things to worry about. >> you had legislation

reaffirming that in god we trust is our motto? that is not putting people back to work. i trust in god but god wants to see us help ourselves by putting people back to work. >> shannon: so, was it a waste of time or as some critics say even unconstitutional? here for a fair and balanced debate, congressman dan lund greene who voted in favor of the resolution and annie gaylord joins us by phone. why did you think it was important to vote on this when there are so many other things that people would like to see congress doing? >> first of all, we have 16 bills on jobs that we sent to the senate and they haven't acted on. the suggestion by the president we are not acting on jobs is nonsense. secondly at all times in the history of this nation when we have dealt with difficult circumstances and this economy is in difficult circumstances we have acknowledged our reliance on god and we have as a country recognized the

origins of a dependence on a religious belief in this country and frankly it is under attack by a number of different groups in this country who believe that somehow it is inconsistent with the constitution when we believe it is entirely consistent with the constitution. it ought to be a strength of our country, not something viewed as weakness. >> shannon: and you are with the freedom from religion foundation, one of the groups who does have a problem with the motto. in fact, you sued to stop it from being engraved into the new capitol visitor center. a lawsuit that was later thrown out. what are your objections to this motto and making it official? >> first of all, the house majority leader eric cantor was on record saying that he would actively prevent any votes on new legislation that is not substantive and meaningful and you cannot make a case that this was substantive or meaningful. it was political grandstanding. it was a religious test for public office, a gotcha issue

and it is important for the nation to know that the original motto was chosen by a distinguished committee of jefferson franklin and adams and in god we trust was adopted in 1956 as a second motto. in order for it to be accurate it would have to say in god some of us trust because many good americans do not believe in a god and that would be a silly motto, wouldn't it? in god we trust is meanless to those of us who are god free. we h are the fastest growing sh of the adult population. 15% and even faster among young people. quarter of the population now questions the belief in god among 15 and 25-year-olds. there is a very exclusionary act and what i objected to the most was that congress the house went on record saying that in god we trust should be displayed in all public buildings including public schools. and i think this is very wrong.

this is wrong for our children to have to go to school and be faced with a god litmus test. >> shannon: congressman, what do you make of the objections? >> they are historically inaccurate. william douglas once said in an official comment that the united states is a religious people whose institutions presuppose a pree supreme bein. you talk about george, washington, in his farewell address. your talk about the words of independenceon of in die pen and john adams who told us that our constitution would be insufficient for a people who are not moral and religious. talk about abraham lincoln and franklin delanor roosevelt awoí origiññ franklin delanor roosevelt and

about rereligion. historically this is a country that has acknowledged its religion foundations. that doesn't mean everyone has to be religion but the freedoms granted this the country are recognized from the country fathers believeing that we had an intimate relationship with a god who gave us these rights and therefore these rights cannot be taken from us by other people, other men or women or government. that is a revolutionary idea that forms the basis of our government and to deny that denies history. >> well, i'm afraid that representative lundgren appear to have another read the constitution. which is a godless document. its only ra are executionary. our founders -- are exclusionary. country that did not have its

basis on a god. we have no god in our government and no god in our constitution. the power is invested in we the people, not some divinitms t and if you compare the constitution you see the difference. what he is saying is historically inaccurate. >> if you just take the position of steven douglas in the lincoln douglas debates and the response by abraham lincoln was if that is true we ought to it tear up the statutes of the united states that make reference to the declaration of independence. >> we don't live under the declaration of independence. >> you can't understand our constitution unless you have a view that it is informed by the declaration of induniendence. >> shannon: we have to leave it there. fair and balanced debate. we would love to have you back to discuss it more. we are out of time for now. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> shannon: companies are

realnteinme fthe need for onlie presence and social networking. could that mean more jobs? casey stegall in l.a. with more. >> some are calling this the job of the future incidentally with more and more companies turning to those pages like facebook and twitter because it allows them to reach the masses. makes since considering the number of people who use these sites is in the hundreds of millions. in fact, they are such an important marketing tool that companies now hiring droves of people for these social media positions. monster .com runiorting the number of postings for these jobs up about 75% this year. and a one big draw is that setting up a facebook or twitter account is free. of course, much cheaper than the millions companies have traditionally spent on advertising and p.r. cam. >> soigns. >> within a couple of years you will see every major organization really embracing social media in a much more

powerful way because it is sinh an amazing platform to get information, to allow you to be better and it is foolish not to avail yourself to that. >> now, take the car advice site edmonds .com for example. executives here see social networking as an opportunity to give users a more personalized experience. five social media experts on staff here doing everything from searching tweets for people tryinme fto buy a car to chatting online and giving out advice. >> they are responsible for managing our facebook and twitter accounts and making with our followers because i think that is where a lot of companies struggle a little bit with what to do with social media. from our perspective it is about customer service. >> and the experts tell us, by the way, that the skills required to do these types of jobs are more about people skills versus computer skills

and the headhunters say often times you do not need a special apply forc denceree to apply are these positions if you are interested in daling so. shannon, certainly important news in terms of a growing part of the economy that is hiring these days. >> shannon: folks looking for jobs. ing casey, thank you very much. up next, a charity making sure our troops have what they need on the frontlines. stay with us.
