that's it for this week's show. thanks to my panel and all of you for watching. hope to see you right here next week. welcome to "america's news headquarters." new developments on the shooting rain page at los angeles international airport that left one tsa agent dead. the accused gunman now charged with the murder of a federal officer. police say he shot the agent at poinblank range before opening fire on the crowd. and then, returning to shoot the agent yet again. at least five other people injured in friday's shooting. 23-year-old paul ciancia could face the death penalty if convicted. investigators saying he had enough firepower to turn the entire place into a killing zone.

we're live at l.a.x. dominic? >> gregg, while paul ciancia is lying unconscious, heavily sedated and under armed guard at the ronald reagan ucla medical center in los angeles, the feds are unable to talk to him. for the time being they're looking into this background, but also looking very closely at the video that was picked up by surveillance cameras as he proceeded through terminal three here at l.a.x. and apparently that video showed his actions along the way, including the second two attempts he had firing on that tsa guard and apparently shooting two other tsa guards. we know this happened around 9:30, terminal 3. we also believe we've got the photo there of the 0.223 million&t 15 semiautomatic that he pulled out from a duffel bag we understand and then started to open fire. of course, you know, he had that

note inside that duffel bag, that's what the federal -- that's what the feds were telling us yesterday. and what they can't talk to him for now, as i was saying they are looking into this background. this is what they're saying about that. >> we are still examining that. that is an extensive process, and that will take time. we do know, based on the complaints, that he -- and based on the evidence we've reviewed to date, that he targeted specifically tsa officers. his intent was very, very clear in his note. >> yes, absolutely. and in that note apparently he called the tsa treacherous, and that he was very much out to get them. well, the police very much out in force here at l.a.x. today. the question is, could this have actually been averted? the airport police chief was saying yesterday that there had been a change in shift because of the amount of officers very recently here but he doesn't think that was an obstacle or deteriorated the security

situation here. the people saying that, in fact, they're not sure whether even if there had been a greater police presence it would have prevented this tragedy. >> dominic in los angeles, thanks. senator lindsey graham is now telling fox news that he wants a british security contractor who he says saw the deadly attack on our consulate in benghazi to testify here in the united states. >> what's next is to call this man, the british contractor before the congress, so he can be questioned under oath about what he really did and what he really said. if, in fact, he did tell chris stevens and the entire system that the security arrangement in benghazi is going to fail, that the contract guard force is interior, that the militia is unreliable, that you need to beef up security or you're going to get people killed, then the people in charge, secretary clinton, and others, need to answer for that. >> four americans, including ambassador chris stevens, killed

in the september 11th attack on our consulate there last year. secretary of state john kerry arriving in saudi arabia this afternoon. the second stop in his nine-day tour of the middle east and north africa. earlier today, secretary kerry was in egypt. his first trip to that country since the ousting of president mohamed morsi following a violent uprising back in july. during a meeting with egypt's foreign minister, kerry reaffirmed america's commitment to the region, and urged egypt to carve out a path toward peace and democracy. the united states is facing a massive $8 trillion infrastructure investment bill covering our transportation, energy, and water costs over the course of the next two decades. and according to a new report, we're courting chinese investors to pick up the tab. but with so many of our nation's cities struggling under debt is this a smart financial news? all right, so the chinese could bail us out.

is it good for them? is it good for us? >> well, we're in big trouble. i mean our roads are crumbling. bridges are falling, our infrastructure hasn't really been effectively repaired in a major way sinces 1950s. and we don't have the money to do this. states can barely balance their budgets. many are going bankrupt. 30 of the 50 largest local governments have more of a pension burden than they do in revenues. so they don't have the money to do it. the federal government certainly doesn't. >> right. >> the chinese do. >> well, a lot of people are very concerned about the chinese increasing their ownership of our debt. i had our brain room look it up. i was surprised to actually learn that the chinese own a mere % of our debt. which means that, you know, roughly 92% is owned, mostly by the united states and the government itself, investors, and other countries, but china is not as big as i thought.

>> yeah but it's interesting. because it has grown 10% since 2012. and that's as the fed has been on this huge bond buying binge. so it is growing. and pretty exponentially. so, you know, that has a lot of people worried. >> how is it that our infrastructure got so rundown, without maintenance? without the kind of investments over the years that traditionally we have done for decades and decades? >> well cities have been in trouble for awhile and we've had the recession which is a huge issue. >> i thought we spent a trillion dollars in stimulus money, president obama's much-heralded -- well he heralded it, stimulus bill. infrastructure spending was supposed to be most of it. >> very good point. i don't have much to say about that. i mean these were supposed to be shovel-ready projects. >> and they weren't. >> well, they weren't. i mean some work did get done. it didn't do much to help unemployment and it didn't do much for our infrastructure.

but we're talking about a trillion dollars. we're talking about huge amount of money that is needed. it's not just transportation, it's energy, it's water. so, there are huge investment opportunities. >> waste water, drinking water, energy transportation. but it's tricky here. because, you know, the chinese are going to have to navigate a whole bunch of regulatory rules, political obstacles, as well as. >> yeah. i mean, legal regulatory political mainly i mean people don't want the chinese, because they're -- so many of their companies are owned by the state. >> right. >> and they have a very big glass of transparency. you don't really know what's going on in these companies. who might be buying up very important parts of our country, when china wanted to buy -- a chinese company wanted to buy one of our oil companies, huge, huge uprising about that. so this may not be easy. and the other thing is, the chinese are astute investors. and they may not want to buy

into some of these cities, and the infrastructure. so that's an issue, as well. >> detroit is for sale. >> exactly. >> china, in case you're interested. brenda buttner, thanks very much. you can get more of brenda on bulls and bears every saturday morning at 10:00 a.m. eastern right here on the fox news channel. the ailing obama care website is back online. it was down overnight for maintenance. but is it just a band-aid hiding a much bigger problem? >> here's the problem. they're trying to change a tire on a car going 70 miles an hour down the expressway. that's not the way cyber security works. begins with back pain, when... hey pam, you should take advil. why? you can take four advil for all day relief. so i should give up my two aleve for more pills with advil? you're joking right? for my back pain, i want my aleve. ugh! actually progresso's soup has pretty bold flavor.

after a one-year absence

because of superstorm sandy and under very heavy security kenyan runner geoffrey mutai wins the new york city marathon once again. a record number of runners, close to 51,000 starting today's race. the 26.2 mile course lined with bomb sniffing dogs, 1500 surveillance cameras, radiation detectors, you name it. the unprecedented layer of security all the result of the deadly bombing at the boston marathon back in april that killed three people and wounded hundreds more. getting new reaction now to the technical glitches, if you can really call it that, plaguing the obama care website. healthcare.gov taken down once again for maintenance overnight. and as it went back online this morning both lawmakers on both sides of the aisle took to the sunday talk shows today saying that the site should be taken offline until all of the bugs are worked out. listen to this. >> i felt, and i said this directly to the president's chief of staff, that it ought to

take down the website until it was right. they believe that they need to keep it running, and that they can sort out the difficulties. >> they need to take the site down, stabilize it, meaning they can't continue to add code, every week, and then they need to stress test the system. unfortunately, bob, none of that has happened. and they admit it's going to take six months. >> the columnist for national review, co-author of who's counting. all right. you said to me during commercial break can you imagine the private briefings that feinstein and rogers got that led them to these statements today? >> well, the public knowledge we have is that in late september just before the website was going to go up the inspector general and other security people at hhs wrote a memo saying there's a high risk that this will not be secure for people's private data, and if we don't do something it could be a major scandal.

>> and that was ignored. >> the website had to go up. what really worries me about what senator feinstein said is the president's chief of staff, presented with this awful problem of cyber security, people's personal data available to hackers, the navigators who are a separate issue, and the response is, we have to keep the website going. i think that's a political imperative, not an imperative to help the american people. what would help the american people is to get this done right. we would obviously embarrass the obama administration so much to take the site down they refuse to discuss it. but, the longer it stays up, the harder it is to fix it. it's hard to fix something if it's going 70 miles an hour. >> so to avoid embarrassment politically they decided we'll just put americans at risk, which invites my question, how at risk are americans by going on to this website? >> the former administrator of social security, he only resigned last february, worked for barack obama until then, said there are predators out

there, both hackers and navigators, these people who are supposedly designed to help people access the system, who could literally steal people's data and sell it so that they could create mischief. the problem with the navigators, there are no federal background checks for criminal behavior. >> so they could have hired known thieves and criminals and they have no idea. nobody would have any idea. >> when we did the census in 2010 we did criminal background checks on the people who went door-to-door counting people. we're not doing background checks on the people with the most private information of the american people. >> the other thing i learned from washington sebelius' testimony, and others, they never bothered to put encryption codes in the very beginning, which is where you must structurally put that in order to protect the identity of americans logging on. and i talked to a couple of experts who say you can't back load that stuff. it has to be done in the beginning. >> exactly. >> look. somebody in north carolina the

heritage foundation talked to this fellow, last thursday, he finally got into the website to fill out his application. what bounced back at him were two letters that hhs had sent to people in south carolina talking about the eligibility, including personal information. so he just logged on and he got information that was private from other people. and he said, if this can happen to me, what's being done with my data? >> yeah. and i heard somebody in the administration say, well, we're unaware of anybody who's been hacked or had their identity stolen. >> well, this is just the beginning. it takes awhile to find out that you've been hacked. >> this fellow from north carolina has been trying to contact hhs for four days. >> right. >> can't get through, no response. of course they don't know who's been hacked. you can't reach them. they're probably in a back room fiddling with the website. >> right. you wouldn't go on this website, would you? >> "consumer reports," the nation's leading consumer magazine, says stay away.

if they say it, it's good enough for me. >> you mentioned something in here last week when we were talking about this, that among the navigators, and these are the people who have been hired, no background checks they could be criminals for all we know, among the navigators are folks connected to acorn? >> the founder of acorn, which has now gone bankrupt, has gone back and started a new group in new orleans and this new community organizing group has navigators working in 17 states helping people with their health insurance. now mr. raft is free to do that. but he didn't do a good job hiring people when he was running acorn. >> the talk shows were consumed today by the president's broken promise, which is now implicitly admitted by the president himself that, yes, you cannot keep your health care plan if you like it. first it was tens of thousands out in california. now it's 100,000 in various states and you add it all up and we're talking about millions and millions of people.

this is only the individual marketplace. this doesn't even begin to count the employers who are going to begin to drop plans. >> right. because they're unaffordable. or they can't work out the arrangements. i had dinners last week in arizona with two people. both of them have gotten letters from their employers saying we're going to have to change your policy and dramatically scale it back or we may even have to drop you. >> thank you very much. >> a pleasure. >> we're going to be right back. don't go away. ♪ ♪ [ female announcer ] with five perfectly sweetened whole grains... you can't help but see the good.

now for a look beyond the news, author and journalist liz trot trotta's sunday commentary. >> frankly, aren't we all weary of ideological academics and columnists writing off the united states? it's particularly irksome and

challenging american exceptionalism, a concept now attributed to conservatives and not the honorable people of all opinions who have lived it since 1776. for many it's overly demanding to remember who we are when the president of the united states is the devil by failures mostly of his own making. the government shutdown, the health care plan. the spying scandal. and especially middle east foreign minister. in just a few weeks' time, left to the democratic, republican or mostly bipartisan legacy, we've managed to offense most of our principle allies and friends. germany, france, italy, mexico, brazil, saudi arabia, israel, egypt, syria, just to start with. many supporters of mr. obama have concluded the president simply doesn't understand his country, and may not even like it. reaching for the handy

comparisons to the fall of rome. but taking the long view, mr. obama may be seen as just another valley in the history of a country born in searing trial and crises. for the record, mr. obama began his first term clearly out of the mainstream. denying how exceptional we are. saying that this concept is the same way the british or the greeks feel about their own countries. a harvard law graduate his grasp with history is at best wanting. can we forget, and has the president ever thought about 1607 and the starving settlers of jamestown who ushered in america? or 1814, when the british burned down the white house? or 1862 when confederates armies in maryland marched within striking distance of president cli lincoln and the capitol itself.

1941 and the fleet burning of pearl harbor and japanese devouring asia. americans shuttered at the thought of defeat but only for a little while as a great nation in the end recovered its nerve. this and much more is history book material if they're teaching it anymore. and the lesson is that america has thrived against long odds. its history is that of a greatness endlessly remaking itself time and again. if the atomic bomb ended one war, then putting a man on the moon ended the 1960s frenzy about the limits of american power. silicon valley and superior technologies were not far behind. opening up more horizons in the nation's history. the term american exceptionalism originated in 1830 with a frenchman dispatched to america whose observations of the young

nation endure. the homicidal joseph stolen is said to have called america exceptional because he couldn't get enough citizens to rally to his cause. several american presidents especially ronald reagan amplified the theme and pointed to our nation as a model. the city upon a hill. john winthrup as early as 1630 spoke aboard the ship telling his fellow puretans we must e a hill, the eyes of all people are upon us. detractors lump american exceptionalism with distorted patriotism and cheerleading. it makes them feel objective and wise but at every turn history confronts them. the great iron chancellor uni

unifier of germany found a kindred spirit in america credited with saying what we learn from history is that no one learns from history but, he added, god has a special providence for fools, drunkards and the united states. that's worth remembering. >> that's it for us. a healthy you with carol alt is coming up next. have great week. bye-bye. ♪ hmm. ♪ mm-hmm.
