cardboard cut-outs. i'm shannon bream. >> shannon: in their 10th debate the gop candidates talked about something besides the economy. last night's focus was on foreign policy and national security with republican contenders taking on topics from iran, wars, waterboarding. carl cameron is in greenville, south carolina covering it all. mitt romney has cruised to the debates unscathed. did that continue last night? >> reporter: to some extent it did. the debates have supplanted retail hand-to-hand campaigning in many states. here palmetto state's primary two months away. last night's debate was a deal -- a real introduction. mitt romney really didn't get attacked by any of his rivals.

throughout the debate no candidate singled out another by name and took a deck shot at all for mitt romney it is a sign he has continued his grasp of the top spot and his ability to contend for wins in these early states. he didn't get dinged up in any way. though he lacks a certain amount of foreign policy experience having been only a governor of massachusetts for one term and most of the rest of his time spent in the business world. try to talk about his international experience as part of the global economy. for cain and perry, very big important night. mr. cain needed to avoid gaffes. sort of deal with the cleanup of some of his issues with allegations of sexual harassment. perry needed to live down last week's performance in which he forgot the energy department as one of the three agencies he would cut. here's a sampling. >> governor perry, you advocate the elimination of the department of energy.

if you eliminate the department of energy -- >> i'm glad you remembered it. [ laughing ] >> i've had some time to think about it sir me too. [ laughing ] >> [ applause ] >> reporter: that was perhaps the lightest moment of the evening what was otherwise a cerebral and substantive discussion of until affairs. the governor's campaign thinks while this may not be a reset it provides an opportunity for him having a debate performance, the best he's had so far, it is an opportunity to suspend some of the criticism and maybe get things going in south carolina. this tate for perry is very important. -- this state for perry is very important. as a southerner he recognizes it is almost a must-win for him. >> shannon: carl cameron, thank you. last night's debate was

one of the 16 scheduled for the candidates. could the -- [ unintelligible ] joining us rnc communications director and former white house deputy communications director under president obama. thank you both for coming in. do you think voters are getting worn out or do they need to learn more about these candidates? >> if you look at the ratings alone these are great opportunity for candidates to explain the alternative they are explaining to president obama. last night was foreign policy. you've had one on the economy and several in general. i think the american people are hungry for trying to figure out what our side will offer as a contrast to president obama. you can just tell how much energy is on our side by the number of people who tune in. >> certainly give the white house a good look at all positions that each of these contenders are taking. >> right there's always a debate about how many debates

or too many debates. we talk about that every four years. this gives an opportunity for the american people to see what the candidates are putting on the take. last night we saw concerning endorsements by republican candidates running for president. including, the idea that we should eliminate foreign aid. including aid to a country like israel that's key for their security. it does expose to the american people what candidates represent. whether they agree with it or disagree that's what the debates always present every four years. >> we have polling numbers put some gop contenders head-to-head with president obama if the election were held now. let's talk about some of these numbers. from the latest rasmussen poll that cape out friday, president obama vs. romney 43% for the president. romney 42% he looks to be the tightest match for the president. >> if you look at all our candidates most are within a margin of error.

an incumbent president should not be where he is now that spells trouble. when you look at the number within issue, jobs, economy, debt and deficit, the direction is going in the wrong way for president. overall, you've got 75% of the american people saying this country is in the wrong direction. whichever candidate makes it out university primary at the end of this calendar, i think we are -- going to have a lot of horsepower we have the issues behind us. the most important piece is this isn't like it was in 2008. this is not an open seat. the president has a record. and policies that he has to defend. i think he's on the losing end of those policies. >> it is interesting, if you look at the generic polling that came out also rasmussen earlier this week, you gut a generic gop candidate against the president, 46%, the president comes out with you 42%. when you break it down to specific names, the president seems to do better why is that if you are talking about a

specific candidate versus the gop in general? >> because every election is a choice. when the republicans narrow downzñy to whomever their nomine will be albeit a choice between the president and that nominee. right now it looks like romney is leading the pack. it changes every week. but, -- what romney is presenting on the economy versus what the president is presenting on economy. i agree with sean the economy will be the biggest issue. right now there hasn't been a lot of time to focus on the economy and real issues because there have been so many controversies talked about, whether it is cain, per riff's gaffes. i think the president is looking -- forward to have a debate about the policies and >> sometime this week maybe early next week in the next several coming days, this country is going to cross the mark of 15 trillion dollars of debt. most of it, the last four

trillion in three years under the american people are ready to have someone talk about those issues. what we are going to do to preserve the future for this country. get americans back to work and address this deficit and debt issue we have. i think we are going to have, once we settle on one candidate, a very rigorous debate and contrast the policies that have been over the past three years under president obama and a plan for the future. >> i would guess that both republicans and the white house are looking forward to that. thank you. >> it is your turn to weigh in. which gop presidential candidate do you think would have the best chance at beating president obama? we'll read some of your responses later on in the show. be sure to stay3 tuned this afternoon, bret baier takes a closer look at iowa and what it is going to take to win the first in the nation caucus state. fight for iowa starts here

3:00 eastern on the fox news channel. president obama is on a nine day tour that mixes diplomacy with a focus on jobs. in hawaii he has said the u.s. has gotten lazy about attracting foreign investment. ed henry is in honolulu with the latest. >> reporter: interesting, when you talk to u.s. officials they what a difference a couple weeks make. the president was in france for the g-20 summit, you had european leaders there struggling to deal with the debt crisis. a much different situation here in hahn lieu at the summit. you have asian economies that are growing not just china, singapore, vietnam. many of the smaller asian economies are doing well. and there are a lot of american business executives here in honolulu saying they want to invest even more money there. a much different situation obviously than we see in europe. the president trying to pounce on that by saying he's putting together a framework now for a transpacific partnership, new trade agreement with some of these smaller nations like

singapore and vietnam that i mentioned. the president also raised eyebrows when he suggested one reason why the u.s. has not been able to fire on all cylinders because of laziness. >> the president: we've been a little bit lazy, i think over the last couple of decades. we've taken for granted people want to come here and we are not out there hungry selling america and trying to attract new businesses into america. >> reporter: the republican national committee has jump on this and accused the president of blaming america for these international economic problems. when you talk to senior u.s. officials they say the president is trying to get everyone to raise their game and competitiveness not just with china, but many of these asia pacific nations that are growing so quickly. some of the executives here like schmidt of google he said he wouldn't have used the word lazy but agrees with the president the u.s. can only be more aggressive about pushing

american businesses overseas. >> shannon: thank you ed. of course tune in tonight 9:45 eastern for president obama's live news conference from the meeting in hawaii. we'll carry that live, tonight. >> the clock is tick for the super committee to come up with a plan to cut trillions from the budget. today despite their differences some members say they are optimistic the committee will come up with solutions. >> reporter: today is the 13th of november. if a deal is not made by the 23rd, sequestration kicks in 1.2 trillion worth of automatic cuts to things like the defense department. because the law that created the super committee created a trigger for cuts to be made if the six democrats and six republicans on the committee couldn't make a this morning republican senator pat toomey said if the super committee fails they might change the law so the cuts are easier to swallow. >> i'm not giving up on getting something done.

i think we still can. i'm going to do everything i can to achieve that. in the very unfortunate event we don't, i think it is likely that congress would reconsider the configuration of that sequestration and consider is this the best way to do it? that would be a lively debate that will occur and the nature of those cuts which i think the cuts have to occur, in a different fashion. >> reporter: we heard from a handful of super committee members this morning. even think they get what a big deal their job is and think they can make a deal in the next 10 days. there still appears to be fundamental differences in how much taxes should be raised and how much spending should be cut and from where. >> i'm a four trillion dollar guy. i believe we can do this. in fact, i think in order for us to be fair and balanced, if i might use that term, we ought to go to a big deal. that way, we could do enough

job creation in a resolution that would allow us to do some i call surgical fixes to entitlements. >> reporter: the republican congressman and super committee co-chair hensarling said the big thing he's focusing on now aside from the numbers, more than anything sells his duty to get a deal done. >> we will watch, wait and see. peter, thanks. now to international news. in damascus violence broke out at several embassies overseeria's suspension from the arab league. police -- over syria's suspension from the arab league. security forces shot and killed four protest showed up at a rally. the protesters denounce assad and called for of -- for the end of his regime. >> nine suspected a can militants killed in attacks

any law enforcement agent or law enforcement officer will tell you it is a brotherhood. it is an honor for them guys to come here and tell the truth what they are doing is very brave. >> the former u.s. marine and ex-police officer was killed nearly a year ago on december 14th, when his border patrol tactical unit got into a midnight gun battle along the u.s./mexico border. two rifles at the scene were traced to operation fast and furious, controversial federal gun running program that allowed hundreds of weapons into mexico. nearly 3/4 of the guns sold were lost. josephine is holding the government partly responsible for her son's death and received a letter from attorney general this week, writing to the family saying he is sorry for their loss. many believe the government owes brian and his family much more than apology. it owes them the truth. >> one small way that we could

honor his memory and honor your family is not only to never forget, but to ensure at the end of the day that there is justice. >> the proceeds of the event will go toward legal bills if the family decides to sue the government. brian's family meantime, has hired former u.s. attorney who has taken action in u.s. district court to secure family members' rights as crime victims. >> shannon: the supreme court could announce tomorrow whether or not they will take up one of the lawsuits involving president obama's health care law. will hear both sides of the debate right after the break. looking good! you lost some weight.

>> shannon: we could know as soon as tomorrow morning whether or not the supreme court will take up one of the lawsuits against president obama's health care law. 26 state attorneys general arguing the lawsuit requireing the mandate is unconstitutional. chief counsel of the constitutional accountability center disagrees the first

part of our fair and balanced debate on this issue. of course we know the justices were behind closed doors thursday considering most of these appeals. the ones that are there now, we wait to see which of the cases they will take they can announce 10 a.m. tomorrow morning. let's talk about some of the issues. first is that mandate the point of contention for almost everybody who disagrees. saw it is constitutional? >> exactly. the questions about the shared responsibility payment, the payment you are required to pay if you do not get insurance i assume you fall into the group in terms of income that is require get insurance that is at the heart of all of these lawsuits. it is clearly constitutional, as we've seen from judges across the ideological spectrum in the lower courts. we had a fantastic opinion by a judge on the d.c. circuit, a staunch everyone conservative, appointed by president ronald reagan.

he wrote a very foughtful and reasoned nuanced opinion showing the individual mandate is constitutional under congress' commerce clause power. is power to regulate interstate commerce and clearly with it being nearly 20% of our nation's economy the health care industry is interstate commerce. i think going into the courts' conference yesterday having opinions by conservatives, judges like judge silverman or judge sutton from the 6th circuit who is a george w. bush appointee, having those opinions upholding the mandate as constitutional, i think will be influential to the justices. >> shannon: there is a split that's why it is right for the supreme court. the 11th circuit finding the mandate unconstitutional. if the mandate is knocked out. if these nine justices or at least five decide that it is unconstitutional, you have a question of severability that

part of the law can be thrown out and the rest of the plan can survive. >> absolutely. first of all, i don't think we'll get to severability based on the history and supreme court precedent back to the founding and great chief justice marshal, i think they will uphold the mandate then they don't need to get to the severability question the issue is important, because it will decide whether or not the rest of the act which many americans support, including the ban on insurance companies discriminating based on preexisting conditions, allowing expanded access to medicaid for individuals who have low incomed, whether those provisions can stand or not. >> shannon: if it is taken up tomorrow, it will be heard this term and decided before the next election. that keys it up for a lot of

debate next year. thanks for coming in. >> thanks for having me. >> shannon: on the other side of the coin those opposed to this law say it will be a threat to the liberty of all americans. >> if this law is upheld, it will mean there are no limits to congressional power and no limit to what congress can force americans to purchase. >> shannon: texas attorney general abbott will have the other side of our fair and balanced did bait at the top of hour, -- debate at the top of the hour so stick around. >> the obama administration is delaying a ruling on the keystone pipeline. a fair and balanced debate on that, next.

international obligations when it comes to its nuclear program. >> reporter: benjamin netanyahu says the world must stop iran before it is too late. israeli officials suggest they don't need u.s. help to take action against israel -- against iran. >> israel is certainly capable of handling this and has the capability, the range, the technology to take care of iran and make sure that this rogue regime with its lunatic president who denies the holocaust, while preparing the next one, will not get a nuclear weapon. >> reporter: in tehran some lawmakers calling for iran to reconsider it support of the an tam mick agency. -- >> i support the idea of a military option as a last resort. now their capability is so

intended to be used as weapons. two dozen were arrested, refusing to leave. even using old furniture to a road posing a major safety concern. >> not going to talk about our tactical plan. we are still working on it. again, we going to be very deliberate and methodical as we move into the parks. we are going to communicate clearly to people our intentions. we are stafrpting that today. to give people notice that we are going to start enforcing park rules electric five 12:01 sunday. at that point they are -- going to be subject to after the authority the city has around park ordinances and violations of statutes. >> reporter: two police officers were also hurt in san francisco over the weekend. one was hurt after being shoved in a crowd. another had cuts to his hand after being slashed with a knife. up the road in oakland, cops

were trying to evict protesters there. of course there was a lot of reporting in the last week about safety concerns at that particular encampment because a man was shot and killed not far from the activity there. people who we talked to say they are still not going anywhere, despite these warnings of evictions from various city leaders. we are also hearing reports about arrests happening in salt lake city, denver and st. louis. also last night, a woman was raped near the occupy philadelphia encampment, a suspect is already in custody there. >> shannon: casey stegall, thank you. >> now a story that combines two explosive political issues, energy and the environment. the obama administration has delayed a decision completing the pipeline from canada to the gulf of mexico until after the 2012 election. environmentalists are cheering, supporters of the pipeline state delay means thousands of lost jobs.

joining us for fair and balanced debate, vice president of the american petroleum institute and bob dean, welcome to you both. bob, i want to start with you. the state department has completed a three year study on the al impact saying there would be no significant damage. now they go back to the dawg board with another study. why is that necessary? >> the state department did a -- one of the real problems was in nebraska, 250 miles of that pipeline would cut through the most important underground aquifer in that country that provides 80% of the irrigation and dippinging water upon which 45,000 -- ranchers depend. we think it is awful and it ought to be stopped. you can't make an argument that a 36 inch pipeline with the dirtiest oil in the planet belongs in that aquifer that needs to be moved. the president did the right

thing saying time outlet's see if we can fan a better way. >> do you think is about environmental concerns or a political decision? >> we need to be focused on creating jobs, reducing our alliance on overseas oil and growing the economy this had been the subject of a three year and review. it is disappointing the president has decided to put this project in a draw until after the next election. >> bob, the% is managing a cup of -- a couple of important constituencies. he had environmentals here in washington, they turned out by the thousands to protest. he has some labor unions who have spoken out saying this will create jobs we need construction workers at 14% unemployment, way above the 9% level nationally. do you think was a tough political decision for him to balance? >> i think the president listened to the voice of the people in nebraska, across the

great plains, people across the country and looked at the jobs analysis done by the state department and private economists and even comments out of the pipeline company itself. what you found out was you are talking about hundreds of jobs once the pipeline is laid and a few thousand jobs to dig the trench and sink the pipe. the real jobs cop from the 250,000 farms and latch -- come from the 250 farms and ratches -- i think the president said we can't risk a quarter of a million american farm these are people who feed the country and the world. we can't put that at risk for the sake of a few hundred jobs. it was the right thing. >> the next study won't come until 2013 is that acceptable? >> unfortunately, it is a timeline we have to work with. the fact is, already today more than 2,000 american

companies in 49 states that are working on the development. these are good permanent jobs only going to grow with the keystone pipeline project. a project that is state-of-the-art more safety features than any other pipeline of its kind and has been through a three year review and should be allowed to move forward. >> we thank you both for weighing in on this important issue. with italy still teetering on the brink investors around the world are watching us a -- watching anxiously. brenda buttner, coming up.

iran. they're water down sanctions because it's iran's largest trading partner. $40 billion in business this year alone, enough incentive to block meaningful action. obama allies are calling on more. >> china is avoiding the economic squeeze we went to put on iran that could force it not to go forward with nuclear weapons. that's a disgrace and we ought to have tougher. >> countless chinese firms are helping iran. in new york a chinese company indicted on 118 counts on providing nuclear technology and others sanctions by the u.s. >> chinese companies supply iran is critical parts like carbon fiber and they're involved in

the ballistic missiles program. >> we've had multiple sanctions against iran yet it has not resulted in any change in behavior. >> china denied any illegal dealings with iran. we asked for an interview with chinese officials in the u.s. but were told they're unavailable because they're attending the asia pacific economic cooperation meeting in hawaii. president obama will be there too. >> the correcting an act in war is kill people trying to kill you. >> the next commander in chief has to understand from day one. >> the foreign aid budget in my administration for every country will start at zero dollars. >> the clear answer is whether or not pakistan is a friend or

foe. >> we should reach out to allies within china. >> we cannot sit back and let china run all over us. >> shannon: a wide range of foreign issues on the table in south carolina, the latest g.o.p. debate. hour two of america's news headquarters live from the nation's headquarters starts now. south carolina hosted the commander in chief debate, south carolina of course a key primary state early on, the focus last night, foreign policy and defense. carl cameron joins us live. the focus on policy last night didn't bode well for herman cain going in. how did he do? >> pretty well actually. cain aides today say they're going to back away on a lot of media appearances and increase policy briefings. a staffer told me mr. cain dramatically increased conversation with former

ambassadors. yesterday mr. cain had to knowledge he wasn't sure where others had clear decisions. the discussion was whether or not pakistan was a ally. michele bachmann says he must be an ally because of nuclear weapons. others say they can't be trusted. mr. cain tried to split the difference. >> this evening, sir, pakistan, friend or foe? >> we don't know. because pakistan -- it's not clear because pakistan is where osama bin laden was found and eliminated. secondly, pakistan had a conversation with president karzai from afghanistan and president karzai said if the united states gets into a dispute with pakistan, afghanistan's going to side with pakistan. there is a lot of clarity

missing. >> mr. cain acknowledges he's got some shortcomings in international affairs because he hasn't spent a lot of time talking about it. his issues, the 9-9-9 tax plan. when the subject matter is foreign policy and international affairs, that's going to be difficult. all in all he acquitted himself without mistakes. none of the candidates had the gaffes that have become the hallmark of previous debates. >> shannon: there was controversy regarding michele bachmann, whether she was given enough time in the debate. >> she did fine too. she desperately needs breakout moments. she's a member of the house intelligence committee and used that to point out when it comes to foreign affairs and international issues she has a resumé. yesterday she made a interesting

comment when she suggested that there is an international conspiracy to go after israel with nuclear war. listen to this. >> the next commander in chief has to understand from day one the i went accuracies happening in the midwest. it seems the table is set for worldwide nuclear war against israel. if there's anything we know, president obama has been more than willing to stand with occupy wall street but hasn't been willing to stand with israel. >> reporter: that was one of the most dramatic moments of the debate yet the bachmann campaign complained as did the candidate herself that she was denied a full opportunity to participate. yesterday before the debate the bachmann campaign got ahold of an email from organizers that suggested her questions would be

limited. they contacted the organizers and got assurance she would be treated equally but she feels she did not get equal treatment and complained about t one of her aides called the moderator unfortunate language and they had to apologize for that. officials say there's never going to be equal time for all candidates. there are circumstances where they don't get as much attention but points for her for the strongest sound bite. >> carl cameron, thank for keeping tabs on all of you. thanks. >> watch our fox news special iowa, the fight for iowa with bret baier at 3:00 after "fox news sunday." president obama is turning his attention to economic

diplomacy as he meets with the asia pacific economic forum in hawaii. ed henry is there are live. >> good to see you again. when you talk to senior u.s. officials they say what a difference a couple weeks make. the president's previous summit was in france, the g20, leaders struggling to figure out the debt crisis and how to turn around their countries. both italy and greece have seen changes in leadership. a different situation in honolulu, the asian pacific countries have vibrant economies and americans c.e.o.s on the ground saying they want to spend more money and pour it into asia so the president is trying to tap into that, announcing a framework for a new trade deal with the smaller asian pacific nations he hopes will create jobs in the u.s.

the president raced eyebrows for suggesting one reason the u.s. had economic problems is laziness. >> but we've been lazy over the last couple of decades. we've taken for granted, people will want to come here and we're not hungry, selling america, trying to attract new businesses into america. >> reporter: the republican national committee jumped on that suggesting the president was blaming america for some of the global economic challenges but the administration officials says the president is trying to get everyone to step up their game not just with china but other growing economies and in fact, one of the executives from google was asked about that comment and said i wouldn't have used lazy but agreed the u.s. has to be more aggressive about

pushing american business. the clock is ticking for the super committee to cut trillions from the budget. today some say they're optimistic the committee will come up with something. peter is live with the latest. >> the super committee has ten days to make a deal. if they can't, the same law that brought the six democrats and republicans together will trigger $1.2 trillion in automatic cuts. a big chunk would be to the pentagon. though the clock is ticking. one of the co-chairs says a deal will get done and also said this. >> the duty is more important. the duty is to put forth legislation that addresses our long term structural debt. the president said the drivers of our debt be medicare, medicaid and healthcare. nothing else comes close. so to me what we have to focus on is that duty.

>> to minimize the impact of a failed super committee and automatic cuts some suggest changing the laws so the cuts don't hurt so bad. president obama doesn't want the law changed. he wants a deal. when it comes to the size of a deal, democrats and republicans seem hung up on how many taxes should be raised and spending should be cut. >> i am a full trillion dollars guy. i believe we can do this. in fact, i think in order for us to be fair and balanced, if i might use that term. >> go ahead, sir. >> we ought to go to a dig big deal. we could do enough job creation in a resolution that would allow us to do some surgical fixes to entitlement. >> and today is the 13th of november, the deadline is the 23rd of this month.

>> it could be a very busy thanksgiving in washington. >> it could be. >> thank you. president obama signed a healthcare reform law into march of 2010. a significant victory for democrats who say the law expands availability and affordability of healthcare but critics who dub it obama care call it a expansion of government power. texas attorney general greg abbott joined others in a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the law and tomorrow morning we could learn if the supreme court will take up the case. thank you for joining us live today. >> great to be with you. >> we don't know which case they'll take up. a lot of folks think it's the one you're involved of of the. we had a guest on who says it's constitutional under the commerce clause. you say not. >> well, first of all we think it will be our case that's taken by the supreme court. the reason is because we do have

the 26 states involved in this process. rarely do you see more than half of the states of this country challenging the legality of a law passed by congress. this puts it squarely on the plate of the united states supreme court to resolve an issue that affects more than half of the people of this country against it. we believe the supreme court will and should uphold the decision that came out in favor of the states in the 11th 11th circuit court of appeals that says this is not an issue about whether or not healthcare or insurance is something that can be regulated by congress but an issue of first impression about whether or not congress can force americans to purchase a product. never before has the commerce clause been stretched to force americans to purchase a product. we believe the supreme court will not expand the commerce clause to include that mandate on americans and infringe or liberties. >> how do you respond to those who point to lower court

decision were republican appointed judges who are conservative upholding the mandate as constitutional? >> i think that the reality of the split of the judges is irrelevant because in our case, we had a democrat judge vote in our favor saying that obama care was unconstitutional. the split of the judges in the lower courts is irrelevant. the only thing that mattered was having it resolved by the highest court of the land. now that we have the splits across the country we know the case will be decided by the highest court of the land. that's what we asked for. if you think back to when nancy pelosi and others poo pooed the attorney generals from states across the country, even daring to challenge this law thinking there was no way it would gain traction, we're pleased we've gotten this far and we're anxious about the opportunity of

the court ruling as quickly as possible. >> the next issue that's got to be considered, the issue of severe ability. whether the rest of the law can stand on its own. do you think the court will get to that issue and if they do, what would be your argument on that? >> we hope they address the issue and rule it's not severable and the result, legally speaking, all obama care must be stricken. i was in the courtroom during the 11th court of appeals argument where obama's lawyers said if it's stricken as unconstitutional is means an end to obama care because the funding economic any of them will be put out. we win are regard to the elimination of obama care regardless of how the court rules on the severability issue. >> the issue of recusals.

some lean left saying justice thomas needs to step down because of his wife's involvement in working to repeal the law. others want to see justice kagan stepping out because of her involvement as solicitor general. would you support either of those calls? >> well, the resues recusal laws are clear. that part is clear. the part that's less clear is the extent to which justice kagan was involved in this. i have not seen the fullness of the revelations of the facts. i know there have been questions and attempts to secure information that would reveal her level of participation. only when we see more information will with no whether or not she should be recused. >> greg abbott, thank you for your time today, sir. >> thank you, shannon.

committee is supposed to have solutions to our deficit issues. you had key members today. >> we did, rep pat toomey, democrat jim clyburn. they have ten days to settle this and i can't say signs were positive. republicans have agreed to $250 billion in revenue but also some dramatic tax rate cuts. and the democrats say that's a nonstarter. the democrats are doing things like calling for i think 800 or $900 billion savings by not spending on the wars in iraq and afghanistan. i have to say, maybe there's something going on behind the scenes but listening to them, i had no sense they were far off their original talking points. >> what i thought was interesting they expressed hope and belief something could come together. >> it was interesting because i said so clyburn, you don't have

much time. he said we have ten days, a lot of time. having covered congressional negotiations and labor talks, they only get done at the last minute. under the threat of going off the cliff, whether a strike or in this case, automatic triggers of $1.2 trillion in cuts. is there room? yeah but what truck struck me is to the degree they're having the same conversation, democrats talking about more fairness, the rich people to pay their fair share and republicans saying we need to get to spending and entitlement and not tax people in the middle of weak recovery. >> the goal is $1.2 trillion in cuts but you have those like representative clyburn who calls himself a 4 trillion-dollar kind of guy. they want to see way beyond what the bottom line is. it doesn't seem they're had he bottom line. >> no but some say going big,

the grand bargain, $4 trillion, not $1.2 trillion, where you have major spending cuts and more substantial revenue increases is an easier deal but the idea is it would be easier for republicans to sell their caucus on raising taxes with major structural reforms to social security and the republicans say it's harder to make that sale if we nibble around the edges. it's going to be a tough ten days. >> a thought provoking show and a power player that requires everyone to get off our duffs. >> to catch the interviews with the super committee members, stay tuned to "fox news channel."

>> good afternoon. >> in addition to being a lawmaker you're a marine. how worried are you about this committee not getting to the baseline figure triggering automatic cuts which would have a impact on our defense spending? >> there's no question that's one of my biggest concerns. our national defense is not something that we can play games w i'm a 9/11 first responder. i've lived through it. we have right now intelligence networks in place that are expensive but the cost of breaking them down is the cost of human life. i caution my colleagues to be very careful when dealing with our national defense. at the same time, we have to deal with the fact that our national debt is a burden that threatens the existence of the united states. how do you have leverage against china, for example, in dealing with iran when we're indebted to china. all these things are relative. you can't have a strong national

defense without a strong economy and we have to keep that in mind. >> some of your colleagues mentioned the possibility if they get to this point where the super committee doesn't reach a deal, they may consider legislation that takes the teeth out of the measures. the president said he would veto any measure that tried to do an end run around what has been agreed to. what you support a measure like that? >> i think the -- i take the president at his word and he would veto that. that's why it's incumbent upon the super committee to get the job done. there's over 100 members of congress that urged the super committee to be bold and do what the country needs. tackle our debt in a way that makes a significant difference so the world can see we're serious about our debt and don't getdown graded. the number is $4 trillion. that's really what we're looking for out of the super committee to be bold, to show true

leadership and we can put our country first and put it way beyond the partisan rhetoric. i'm going to be optimism they'll go not only to the $1.2 trillion but beyond. >> democrats said they need to bring in more revenue and that may come through changes to the tax system and tax rate and some people are not paying their fair share. they can do more. republicans say they've got to see a willingness from democrats to reform entitlements. where do you see them finding common ground? you sound optimism. >> there's more common ground than has been portrayed in the media. for example, there's 51% of americans not paying any taxes. that's the first place to start. whether 20%, 25% of that 51 that can and should be paying. it's healthy when more citizens have skin in the game. so i think that's a common sense approach. the other thing is some of the

corporate loopholes are ridiculous and effective tax rates are lower than marginal rates. we can lower marginal tax rates and increase effective tax rates on corporation while getting 51% to pay their fair share. on the same side, entitlements, it's not rocket science. when these programs were put into place, the numbers were different. people were expected to live until 68, 69, sometimes 70 but they weren't expected to live into their 80s and 90s. the formulas have to change to keep the safety nets sustainable. everyone i've spoken to understand this so it's a matter of getting the cameras out of the room, sitting down and having adult conversation without partisan rhetoric. we're getting there. i feel we're starting to make headway. >> all right. the rest of america hopes so as

well. congressman michael grim. thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> penn state university, a tough loss to nebraska after a tough sex scandal. david lee miller is live in pennsylvania with more on this story. >> reporter: let's start with the latest, pennsylvania governor saying today he believes former penn state coach mcqueary fulfilled his legal obligation but not his moral responsibility because he did not intervene. mcqueary is on administrative leave. governor corbett is on the board of trustees and served as attorney general at the time the sex abuse investigation got under way. he said he believes the number of people allegedly abused will increase.
