brian? >> molly henneberg at the capitol, tens of thousands, three or four blocks worth of people, have merged to take their story to capitol hill. now there is a footnote to the tax party coverage, we've learned the federal deficit surged into record territory in august. right now, a little over 1.3 trillion dollars. treasury department officials see a bright side in all of this, believe it or not and they say the numbers for august were slightly better than expected, still, adds to the flood of red ink, brought on by the lousy economy and the taxpayer dollars used to stabilize this banking system. treasury secretary tim geithner says once the recession is over, the administration will work to bring the deficit under control. president obama is vowing to get the right health care bill signed. soon. he's on the way to minnesota, at this hour, with -- and will host a rally on health insurance reform. addressing the nation earlier today, in the weekly address,

president obama pledged no one in the u.s. should have to worry about having health care coverage. >> president barack obama: united states of america, no one should have to worry they'll go without health insurance. not for one year, not for one month, not for one day. and once i find my health reform plan -- sign my health reform plan into law they won't. >> president obama told "60 minutes" he has no interest in passing a bill that fails and went on to say that once a bill is passed, he will own it. that interview airs tomorrow night, on cbs. vice president joe biden is joining thousands of mourners at a firefighters memorial at dodgers stadium today, the ceremony will honor two veteran firefighters who died last month, while battling the largest wildfires in los angeles county history. the men died searching for an escape route for a group of inmate firefighters trapped by the blaze. there is more fallout surrounding the story we have been telling you about, concerning a corn and the census

bureau, officials told acorn it cannot dependent on the frup to help in the 2010 census, comes as controversial video given to fox surfaced, that seemed to show acorn workers offering advice how to circumvent the law and caroline shivley joins with details. >> reporter: the census bureau has had enough from them, and they severed their ties with the controversial community organization and here's part of the letter from census director, robert grove, quoted, it is clear acorn's affiliation with the 2010 census promotion caused sufficient concern in the general public, and has become a dis track from our mission and may even become a discouragement to public cooperation, negatively impacting 2010 census efforts and republicans worried they would tamper with the census count, especially after the video came to light of a man and woman posing as a pimp and prostitute at the baltimore office and on the tape you hear an employee tell the alleged

hooker to lie to the irs and say her job was a performance artist and a woman with acorn gave him guidance how to claim under age girls from el salvador as dependents when they were work as prostitutes and the starve is heard on the tape saying, with your girls, tell them be careful and train them to keep their mouth shut an acorn fired the two employees on the tape and some are calling for the inspector general of hud to investigate. >> these people have a pattern and practice of defrauding the taxpayers, and understand, this is the acorn low income housing office. they are helping these people get housing that we taxpayers pay for. to run a brothel. that is what they were getting. >> reporter: up until now the bureau defended acorn even after voter registration effort in 2008 when some employees submitted false voter forms with names like mickey mouse and tony rome me. brian, back to you. >> thank you and here at fox we want to hear from you.

you might want to go to foxnews.com to weigh in. should the justice department investigate acorn? so far, over 140,000 of you, 140,000 of you, have weighed in. with an overwhelming 99% of you voting acorn should be investigated and if they investigate people who work at the cia... why not investigate acorn i suppose. two words created a firestorm and lots of attention for a south carolina republican. congressman joe wilson apologized to president obama, shortly after he yelled out "you lie" during the president's speech wednesday, next week, democratic leaders will move to reprimand wilson if he does not apologize. on the floor of the house. wilson's response, in a fund-raising video he said he will not in muzzled. and wilson raised more than 700,000 dollar since the outburst and meanwhile, his democratic opponent is getting an even bigger fund-raising boost, in the 48 hours following wilson's outburst, rob miller's

campaign claimed he received more than a million dollars in contributions and by the way, here's a programming note, joe wilson will sit down with chris wallace tomorrow for an exclusive interview, tune in for fox news sunday tomorrow morning, check your local listings for the time and channel, fox news sunday. by the way, in order to give you some sense of how the crowd is up there, at the -- across the way at the capitol, here's a shot from atop our satellite truck. that gives you a look at the movement of the crowds and how far back they go and the estimates are hard to get in washington, these days, but we believe easily, safely say, tens of thousands of people are on the mall near the capitol, today. a 33-year-old suspect is in custody following the murders of two people in michigan, police say harlan james drake carried grudges against several people in town, and went on a shooting spree killing a 63-year-old anti-abortion activist, who was staging a protest across the

street from a high school and police say he then drove over to a gravel pit and shot and killed its owner, apparently, though, for different reasons. 1 she's supposed to get married tomorrow but a yale university graduate student is still missing, annie lee disappeared tuesday from her lab, a case of a run away bride or is it a case of a runaway bride or something worse? david lee miller has been following the story and has the latest. hello, david. >> reporter: hi, brian. you know, no matter what the cause here, it appears 24-year-old student annie lee bennett disappeared without leaving behind a clue and 100 law enforcement personnel from local, state and federal agencies have been searching around the clock for her and investigators examined frame by frame security camera video located in and around the building, where she was last seen and while they did find video showing lee entering a yale medical student lab on tuesday, investigators have not

been able to find any recording of her leaving that same building. and in order to rule out any chance that she might be somewhere in the tom plex investigators have ordered a blueprint and used bloodhounds in their search and what authorities have found in lee's office, is her purse, cell phone, credit card and money. authorities have questioned a yale professor, who at the last minute cancelled class, about the same timely went missing. but they said nothing more about what just might be nothing more than a coincidence. and in the wake of her disappearance, lee's planned wedding tomorrow on new york's long island has been cancelled. authorities say her fiancee, a columbia university student has been cooperating with investigators, and has not -- is not considered a suspect, and lee recently wrote on her facebook page she was lucky to be in love with, quote her best friend and ironically she wrote an article fire local magazine, on crime, and safety at yale university. even interviewing the school's police chief, who is now among

those searching so desperately to find her. in that article, she wret and i quote, new haven is a city and all cities have their perils but with a little street smarts one can avoid becoming another statistic and yale posted a reward for information leading to lee's whereabouts, call the fbi tip line with information, 1-877-503-1950. authorities have said they have found nothing so far to suspect foul play. brian? >> all right, david lee miller, thank you very much. more trouble for the banking industry today. bank regulators have closed two more banks, one in chicago and another in minnesota bringing the total number of failed banks to year to 91 and the banking sector is not anticipating relief, more will be closing because of bad loans from commercial real estate and there is this: banks across the country are quietly renegotiating the terms of their borrowers' credit

agreements and in some cases cutting the losses and freeing consumers from the burden of debt. is it a wise idea for the average credit card holder, matt mccall from penn financial is here to break the down. matt is it true they are actually walking away from some of the debt, saying, let's cut or losses and move on? >> yeah, they are, a couple of reasons, one you would rather get something rather than nothing and if they get a little out the borrowers it is great and if you continue to let them borrow and borrow, it is money the credit card companies will never get and it adds to the liability and they have to walk away and take the loss and move on to people who will pay their debt. >> is it something the average person who finds themselves in credit card trouble should try and seek out? what they're down sides to this for people with credit card trouble? >> you have to be very careful. i mean, if you actually talk to your credit card company, and get them to lower your monthly payments, or lower your monthly interest rates, or even knock

down some of your debt, that is okay. however, if you go into a loan modification program, either through your credit card company, or through an outside independent service, oftentimes that is when it is reflect on your credit report and the next 7 yards you try to get a loan or credit card, you cannot get one and if you plan on buying a house in 7 years you may not be able to buy a home and you have to be careful and take it on a case by case basis and in my mind, if you can knock down interest rates, that is exactly what you like to do, brian and consider, if you have 10,000 ends credit card debt and if you are paying 20%, and that is 165 aids month and knock it down to 5%, it is just over $40 a month and you can knock away the principal and not just pay interest and it is important not to get into the loan modification program where it affects your credit report. >> all right, thank you very much, good advice, people pay attention, there may be help out there but there is a downside, it goes on your credit report. thank you very much, matt. the crew of the discovery is

getting a welcome home in houston after they will be reunited with their families and nasa colleagues after a two week mission to the international space station and discovery touched down in california last night. this is a "fox news alert." information just now coming into us a cornell student has died, from the h1n1 virus, 20-year-old warren shore died yesterday we are now told from complications relating to the virus. as you know, this has been something health officials have been very concerned about, and very worried about. monitoring what happens on campuses, where there are so many young people and h1n1 at least this round of it seems to be a virus that goes after young people, with sort of a vengeance, and we'll continue to follow that story, and have more information, as it backups available. up next, we're going back to the anti-tax tea party, as the march to the capitol continues. senator jim demint will join us. stay with us, everyone, you are

>> looking live at the mall right now, where tens of thousands of tea party protesters have gathered, they are upset with the way they say their government is operating these days and don't feel like the government is listening to them and are upset about taxes, and upset about health care reform and the whole nine yards, and, by the tens of thousands there on the mall today, in among them is one of the more contestant members of the senate, jim demint of south carolina joins us now to talk about what he sees in all of this and the crowd behind you, senator, how would you describe it and what motivates them in your mind, to be there? >> well, i think first of all, there are probably hundreds of thousands behind me and not tens of thousands. and these are moms and dads with their children and grandmas and grandpas and average americans who have come here, to tell their government that they want

their country back. these people are informed, and they are outraged about the spending, the debt, the government takeovers, the taxes, and it's not just the last six months, it is the last ten years, and i tell you, i've never been more proud to be an american. >> let me ask you this, are they concerned about the health care debate? is that one of the things that is motivating a lot of people to be there. >> i think the health care debate has brought everything to a head. because, now, the government wants to take over even more of our economy, even more of our lives, and, i think that is the straw that broke the camel's back. that is what got people here. but, they are angry about a lot more than just health care. >> do you think a lot of people in washington right now, don't quite get what this is all about. >> well, i am more comfortable with these people than i am at the -- ones in front of me and congress. i hope members of congress will listen. i hope the president will

listen. these people are tired of being lectured to. they want to be listened to. hopefully, congress and the president will get the message today. >> let me ask you a question about health care. if it gets to the floor of the senate, do you intend to filibuster? >> we have a long away from that, i would like to see the legislation, and get a chance to read the bill. the president talked about his plan, but there is no plan we know of. he needs to send us the specifics. >> all right, senator jim demint one of the more conservative members of the united states senate, a person down on the mall today with the tea party protesters, thank you, senator, good to see you. in other news, since the release of the lockerbie bomber the british government has denied that there was any quid pro quo with libya but another disturbing connection now emerging between the two nations. that story, when we come back.

>> the bottom of the hour, and here's the stories we're following on america's news headquarters. the census bureau giving acorn the boot update the community organizing group, slated to gather low level data for the 2010 census and the director says he has no confidence in the group and they are accused of submitting false registration

forms with names like mickey mouse and pressured groves to investigate accusations of voter registration fraud and yale university announced a $10,000 reward for information leading to the location of a mission student, annie lee and she disappeared earlier this week and was supposed to be married this weekend and her roommate reported her missing on tuesday and authorities have questioned the yale professor and possible connections with lee's disappearance. more embarrassing revelations for the british government regarding the ties to libya. a british newspaper "the daily telegraph" is reporting that britain's most elite soldiers have been giving counterterrorism training to libyan infantry for the past six months and earlier this week the sunday times reported the british government considered an oil deal in the release of the lockerbie bomber and justice secretary jack straw, notes, an overwhelming interest of the united kingdom, and as we told you moments ago, fox news has learned that a cornell student has died from the h1n1 virus,

21-year-old -- 20-year-old warren score died from complications relating to the virus, happened yesterday, and he was a student in the college of agriculture and life sciences, not clear if he had underlying medical conditions and university officials are urging all members of the community to be on alert, about the risks related to underlying health conditions and severe flu-like symptoms. back down to the tea party, republican representative mike pence is among the thousands of conservatives voicing their frustration with out of control government spending and a host of other things and congressman, says he thinks the way to make health care more affordable is through a competitive, open and transparent health care system. and he spoke at the rally earlier and joins me now, congressman, good to have you, let me ask you the question i asked of jim demint a moment ago, as you look at the thousands of people that stand behind you, what is it that you draw from that gathering? what is the message that america should take away from what they

see there? >> well, i think washington, d.c. needs to take the message that enough is enough. the american people know we can't borrow and spend and bail our way back to a growing economy. we can't grow a government takeover at every failing -- of every failing industry and as we face this challenges, the 21st century, for energy independence, for health care reform, we don't want a government takeover or higher taxes, as the answer there, either. this is really an inspiring experience for me and my family. as we walk out of the capital moments ago to see what awe'res for our ice to be hundreds of thousands of americans gathered here, from all over the country, and i think the message is, enough is enough, and let's gate back to fiscal responsibility, personal responsibility, and limited government. >> many of the people that stand behind you are concerned about the issue of health care, and the obama effort to try to reform health care in the

country. you are a person who has great concerns about that as well. >> you bet. look, we have got to accomplish health care reform, it lowers the cost of health insurance and the cost of health care in the long term, but the answer, i think, it is evident in the tens of thousands gathered here is that the american people know that freedom is the answer, competition is the answer, not a government-run insurance plan. that will set us on a pathway toward a government takeover of health care and all that comes with that in the form of ration racking and bureaucracy and higher taxes. but, make no mistake about it, brian, i think what turned out, is an unexpected crowd, here at the march on washington. is more than just frustration with the government takeover of health care. i think is frankly is frustration with the last several years, where republican administrations and democrat administrations have been borrowing and spending and

bailing this country into a mountain range of debt. and these people have about had it. >> what do you think is going to ultimately happen as a result of these protests? is washington getting the message? are they paying attention? are they just sort of discounting this in some quarters as a small group of very motivated people who have a bug with the government right now. >> look, washington always gets the message eventually, brian. whether they get that before the next election, or after it, we'll see. but, you know, we hold elections here every couple of years, and, you know, the tens of thousands of americans that filled town hall meetings across the country, thousands that came to town hall meetings in my district and how the hundreds of thousands that are gathered here, are making their importance and their voices felt. and i expect washington will get the message. when they get the message, is really going to be up to them. >> and i want to make a point. do you sense that what we are

seeing now and the crowds that are gathered behind you and this movement that seems to be emerging all over the country, will show up in the midterm elections? with more republicans being elected, is that what you are suggesting? >> well, let me say, you know, i don't want to look at elections. i want to look at us doing what is right for the country. and the -- to be truthful about it, as you know, brian, i was fighting against run away federal spending when the republicans were in control. earlier this year, when they passed the so-called stimulus bill, nearly a trillion dollars in borrowed moneys i had hundreds of people at town hall meetings in february. i mean, look there is enough blame to go around here and the american people want washington, d.c. to start to live within our means and start to practice the limited government principles of the constitution. i think washington has a chance to straighten its act out but if they don't by the 2010 elections i think there will be a lot of consequences, come election day. >> all right, congressman mike

pence, always good to have you on the program. thanks for joining us. >> thank you, brian. >> you have seen the protests there on the mall, you have seen the footage from feisty town hall debates being held around the country, and similar outspoken behaviors making its way into mainstream america and to washington. as evidenced by congressman joe wilson's outburst earlier this week during the president's speech. so, is town hall rhetoric the new norm? joining us to discuss this, republican strategist, angela mcgowan and democratic strategist sarah buck, good have you here. thanks for joining us hear on america's news headquarter. let me see if i can start with you, ms. buck, what we are seeing across the way at the capitol, what do you read into all of that. >> there are so many people that want to read much more into it, to look at the popularity of the obama administration, and whether or not this is going to impact his overall favorability but i think that there is a narrow group of people, that are... that never voted for

obama and never intended to vote for him and won't in the future that are voicing their concerns an angela and i both know after working on capitol hill many years protesting is a part of the norm and it is, you know, every day... >> you think this is something different, may i ask. >> no, i don't think this is something different, it always depends on what party is in power and when you have the bush administration in power and you had code pink and here protesting the iraq war and protesting the war are in afghanistan and now, you have the tea party protesters, and they are, you know... >> let me tell you, i have held -- held several town hall meetings in mississippi on health care, because, our congressman has not posted any strategies, except for a digital divide issue in mississippi where people -- having said that, it is making a difference, it is not like some of the regular protests we see, the coalitions coming to capitol hill and you do have some people

that did vote for obama that are actually out there, protesting, i voted for you, for change, but i'm not seeing change. and i actually spoke at the tea party, a few minutes ago and thousands of people were out there, brian and this is not a black issue, a white issue, it's not democrat, not republican, and bush passed the first stimulus package and people are tired of being tacked and people are tired of losing their jobs. >> for those people that supported obama and what we are hearing more now than ever, is that we voted for the change and want to see the health care legislation get enacted and want to see the economy turns around and want to see people working those that want to work, want to see them employed. so, i mean, yeah, there is some frustration but it's the different type of frustration from those who supported obama versus those who are now... >> get the last word in here. >> you don't have members of congress that are out there holding these town hall meetings, you have a lot of

people that have a misunderstanding of what is going on, and yes, they want change, but, obama's democrat party needs to get out there and talk about the change, and they want -- they want to make, there so is much out there people don't snud we have to leave it there, good debate, good discussion, good to have you both here. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> i want to remind, tune in tomorrow to fox news sunday. for an exclusive chris wallace interview, he'll sit down with representative joe wilson the man we have been talk about so much this week, fired up about health care, and stood and called the president, he said "you lie" to the president during his speech and he's being told to apologize to congress for his outburst during the president's address this week, and it should be a very interesting interview, chris wallace, "fox news sunday" as always, check your local listings for the time, and channel. you will not believe this: brutal after-school fights are not the -- to settle a squabble, an attempt to gain a moment of youtube fame and happening all over the country and i'm back from tennessee, 31 area teens

chemicals and materiel for making ieds were found during the raid and burned and blown up, before we left, under the cover of the uh-1 gunship and what is important about these targeted operations, aimed at cutting the link between the taliban and the opium trade, is that the force multiplier, in the counterinsurgency campaign, i was just, i would say i expect to see many, many more of them, in the days ahead. >> oliver north, reporting from kabul, quite amazing story and great pictures, thank you very much, oliver north on the job for us. a group of tennessee teens accused of participating in an organized fighting ring taping the after school fights and posting them on youtube and 31 students are finding there is nowhere to hide from the law. i never thought it could happen to me...

i had felt fine. but turns out... my cholesterol and other risk factors... increased my chance of a heart attack. i should've done something. now, i trust my heart to lipitor. when diet and exercise are not enough, adding lipitor may help. unlike some other cholesterol lowering medications, lipitor is fda approved to reduce the risk... of heart attack, stroke, and certain kinds of heart surgeries... in patients with several common risk factors... or heart disease. lipitor has been extensively studied... with over 16 years of research. lipitor is not for everyone, including people with liver problems... and women who are nursing, pregnant, or may become pregnant. you need simple blood tests to check for liver problems. tell your doctor if you are taking other medications, or if you have any muscle pain or weakness. this may be a sign of a rare but serious side effect. i was caught off-guard. but maybe you can learn from my story. have a heart to heart with your doctor... about your risk. and about lipitor. are more than words here. it's personal. i have diabetes. rodney's kid too.

>> the men and women depend developing our freedom in uniform, return to civilian life can be difficult and why veterans across america is launching a new program to pair up returning vets with business executives to help them reenter the workforce, lieutenant general ricardo sanchez and mike mike heart, from the champion mentor program joins us to talk about that and may i start with you, general, what is the goal here and how is it going so far? >> well, brian, the objective for veterans across america is to put the human touch back into the employment equation for returning veterans, and, also, to put the mentorship component they are so familiar with, that will allow them to be able to maneuver all of the challenges they face when they try to in gait themselves back in to the

economic environment, within this country. >> captain i would imagine that it is sort of difficult to come back, after you have been over there, and sort of reacclimate yourself to the business environment. >> it is very difficult. that is where the veterans across america and the champion mentors program steps in and really fills that gap between coming back from iraq or afghanistan, and then reentering the business world. >> and so what kind of advice do you gentleman give these returning vets? >> well, actually, what is happening, prepare, is that we are pairing up successful entrepreneurs, successful businessmen, some of the manage corporations in america, have committed to helping the veterans and they they're ones that will help them maneuver the challenges and this will be good for the veteran, to give him economic hope and will be good for the business itself, if they manage to find them a job, and, clearly, it will be great tor

america, during the economically challenging time. >> all right, gentlemen, listen, thank you so much for joining us, we are of course here at fox news, a big supporter of the kind of work that you do. and we appreciate you joining us here in our program today. all right, i group of tennessee teens accused of organizing a fight ring, taping their after school fights and posting them on youtube, now, 31 students are finding there is nowhere to hide. from the law. meet me after school fights are nothing new, and there is a trend emerging across the country. middle school and high school kids are fighting. and the brutal beat downs often captured on cell phone cameras and posted on the internet and you are watching a fight to the finish, and it will not end until one of the fighters is seriously injured or knocked unconscious and in the case, both of those things happened. this is the park in collierville, tennessee where

the fight took place and a nice, up scale bedroom community outside of memphis and some parents here were surprised to learn their teens were involved in an underground fight club like the one in the movie. >> first rule of fight club is you do not talk about fight club. >> reporter: but that he fights were something participant bragged about. >> videotaping them and posting them on youtube and apparently, there was some level of competition to see how many hits or who could get the most hits on the youtube site. >> and one collierville student says there may be more to it. >> everybody was talking about it, getting money and everything like that. >> reporter: there was money involved. >> yes, sir. >> reporter: and also, bragging rights when it was on youtube. >> yes, sir. >> reporter: one 15 yearly is suspended and faces aggravated assault charges because police say he broke his opponent's jaw in a fight. and his grandmother, the teen's legal guardian says her grandson didn't start the fight but did finish it. >> my grandson... yes, sir.

>> he was defending himself. >> defending himself. >> he didn't start the fight. >> to my knowledge, no, sir. >> he was not active in the fight club. >> no, sir, he was not. >> because there was a police investigation, the collierville fights are removed from youtube and with a few taps of the keyboard you can find hundreds of violent after-school beat downs posted from communities across the country and what is driving teens to do this? >> i think we have created a culture in which we have essentially encouraged these kinds of behaviors, because people will do anything to get attention, because attention is the metric by which they value themselves. >> here's something else to consider. we are told this 28 teens from collierville have been summoned to juvenile court and three teens were 18 years old and they have been charged as adults in the particular case, and you think it couldn't happen at a

high school near you? if you are a parent i challenge you to go on to youtube and see what you find. part of our nowhere to hide series, good to be in memphis this week. that's all for me, i want to remind you, glenn beck is standing by in new york with live coverage of today's tea party on the mall and let's go back down there and look at the pictures, we have, as we run up to the 1:00 coverage with glenn beck, in about 55 seconds from now. and tens of thousands, maybe hundred thousand or more protesters gathered on the national mall. near the capitol, carrying signs and people worried about high taxes, deficit spending, health care reform, taking their message to capitol hill and want to see changes and feel people in washington are not listening to them, a very active movement, as you listen to the conservative legislators this were there today, they believe,

perhaps there will be a change in washington in the coming years, "fox news sunday" tomorrow morning, glenn beck is up next, i'm brian wilson in washington, have yourself a washington, have yourself a great week. captioning by, closed captioning services, inc. >> welcome to a special saturday edition of the glenn beck programming. this is the 9/12 project where people across the country are gathering right now, for what they believe in. most of yall, standing up for or country and the next two hours we'll try and answer the question, who are these people gathering around the country, and, are they anti-obama, anti-democrat, or are they anti-big government? the third one is what is coming next? i'll hit that for you, next hour, if you believe the country is great, we just have to remember, who we were on 9/12 and unite on values and principles, come on!

stand up. and follow me. well, hello, america i have to tell you, i'm not in a very good mood today i would much rather be -- show the pictures of washington, i would much rather be in washington, d.c., today. where thousands and thousands of people, the official estimate is 60,000 people, i used to live in washington, d.c., and can you bring the whole green -- screen shot of the top screen behind me, please? yeah. that is from the steps of the capitol. i lived in washington and it looks more than 60,000 but we'll go with the official numbers, i'm not in a good mood. i would rather be there. quite honestly, and standing in the crowd with people. and the other thing is i spend it about an hour in traffic, this is how out of control our government is. here in new york, they had a labor day parade. today.

a week after labor day. nobody stood and watched it. it was labor unions, just walking down the street, closed the traffic here in new york, it was i felt festive and now, we go to washington, d.c. and the people are calling this an anti-tax tea party. maybe it is. personally i think this is a collection of people who have never probably marched before, never pro tested for or against anything before and this is a collection of americans who want both parties to stop with the corruption and stop with the spending and start listening to the people. griff jenkins is there in washington, d.c. hey, griff? >> i started in sacramento and came all the way to washington, d.c.! and we have a message -- you folks have a message for glenn beck? [cheers and applause]. >> what is your name, sir, why did you come! >> glenn, it is unbelievable, thousands and thousands of

people, look at this crowd, right there, you guys got something to say to glenn beck? [cheers and applause]. >> glenn, it is one mile from the capitol back to the monument and that sea of people, goes all the way, one mile of people. [cheers and applause]. >> and what i would call, after witnesses them, all across the country, the america that washington forgot. today, they are in washington, to send them a message, do you want washington to listen? [cheers and applause]. >> i believe they have a few questions for you, too, a lot of salutes. >> thank you very much, chris. >> what is the general feel of -- i heard a lot of people saying, astroturf, et cetera, et cetera, who are these people?

>> glenn, they are old, young, black, white, male, female, farmers, miners, doctors, moms, nurses, and they are for the most parted coming out for the first time in their lives to have their voices heard. and this is as best i can describe it, a -- an absolute grassroots movement, and this is an up rising, we are at the beginning of a political movement and it is huge. >> griff, may i -- wow. let me ask you this. is this -- i see anti-obama signs behind you. is this an anti-obama or an anti-democrat or is this an anti-big government? >> well, it is anti-government, but -- what is your name, sir. is this an anti-obama or is this anti-government? what is this. >> this is anti-spending, we are

spending like crazy and we have to stop. >> anti-spending, hold on, second, ma'am, is it anti-obama, anti-government, anti-joe wilson. >> we are actually saying pro government and pro in the right way where the people rule. >> is that right. >> that's right. >> what about you, sir. >> why are you out here, is it about president obama or something bigger. >> about freedom and freedom for me and for my son. about doing the right thing, and the government is not doing the right thing. >> is that your marine corps hat. >> yes, sir into thank you for your service. there you go, glenn, and get a feel for what is going on and i'm sorry. i'm working around the thing, and the sentiment i heard, is the same that in every stop we were on, like 33-plus stops, it is at best, i can tell, they are a part of america, rising up, to reclaim itself as they say from the government run amock and overreaching federal government. >> griff, thank you very much. if you are joining us anywhere

in the country, we are going to be stopping in several different saeshtings not just happening here in washington, d.c. i'm in new york, but also happening in other cities all across the country. and we will stop in some of those cities, also, if you are just sitting at home, call a friend, tell them about this. if you are a member of the 9/12 project. call your friends. get on twitter. get on facebook and tell them, in just about 54 mind, iutes i' lay out something else that dawned on me after reading thomas jefferson this week. i think i have -- i think i have a solution for republicans and democrats and independents where we go from here. but, before we go to the future, let's look in the past. how did we get here? let's look back. >> 19 men lay awake all night.

on september 10th, americans were playing politics and had chose tone bury their heads in the sand and ignore the coming threat. >> i remember how picture-perfect the day was. there wasn't a cloud in the sky and america seemed invincible. and yet, in the blink of an eye... >> that plane appeared to hit a little bit down the building, around the 50th or 60th floor and struck flush... >> and the skies filled with black clouds, and our hearts were full of terror and fear. >> absolute disaster. >> we realized for the first time how fragile we really were. then... something happened. >> u.s.a.! u.s.a.! u.s.a.! >> we came together. we promised ourselves, that we would never forget.

>> u.s.a.! >> on september 12th and for a short time after that, we promised ourselves we'd focus on the things that were important, our families. our friends, the eternal principles that allowed america to become the world's beacon of freedom. >> i can hear you. the rest of the world hears you. and the people... [cheers and applause]. >> and the people who -- will hear all of us soon! >> once again, america has a choice. we can choose to be the americans of september 10th with our heads buried in the sand, we can be the americans of september 11th, unprepared and paralyzed by fear, despair or anger, or we can choose to renew the promise that we all made to ourselves, will you commit yourself to really live america's time tested values and principles? will you with fierce

determination, and malice toward none, be a watchman at the gate to alert those still asleep to rise up, to be america's next greatest generation? you know, many in washington left and right want to convince you they are the solution. i happen to believe that them being the solution is the problem. the system has been perverted and has to be restored. those who screwed up, must be allowed to fail. those who broke the law, must go to jail. and those who have played by the rules, need to be left alone to rebuild our nation. the answer, has never come from washington. we weren't told how to behave that day after 9/11. we just knew. it was right. it was the opposite of what we feel today. >> i'm back stage now, at fox

getting ready to show you that you are not alone. this is your country, you are still in control but it seems today like nobody gets it. let me tell you something. you are going to meet people from all across the country now from people all across the political spectrum, come on, follow me. no matter where you are, from our studio audience, here in midtown manhattan, the sidewalks outside. to the people all over the country. a few blocks away in times square. we're there are people of -- holding regular, regular viewing parties, and started with people in -- by regular people like you, joyce in melbourne, florida, whose party grew so large that she moved it from her restaurant, to the parking lot outside. and to the gatherings in noahs in south jordan utah and golden valley arizona and brewer maine and the garage bar in columbus, ohio and virtually every small town and big city in between in

the great nation people are gathering in ranches in texas and familiar faces have gathered to watch the show, a few weeks ago, i asked you to send in your picture, if you believed in the principle, well, i have to tell you this response is overwhelming, that you shut your servers down at fox news, shut the serves down, five times. the results of the e-mail is this: a mosaic and includes only 10% of all of the pictures we have received. the mosaic proves that while a single photo is just a face, just a photo, thousands of them grouped together in the right way, can create something much more powerful. >> you have to realize that you are not alone. you have to realize that there are more of us, more of us that believe in the wonders of america and believe in the individual. because we know who we are. we are men and women of the united states of america. no matter where we have come from before, no matter what the color of our skin is, no matter

if we are rich or if we are poor, we are americans. >> i'd like to ask you to join me, again, on saturday, 9/12. saturday, september 1/2. i'll share with you what i have been working on, to put the principles and the values to work in my own life. and you show me what you have done, we'll meet back here in six months.

going next, if you will join me and i want to show you also, what you have been working on, this is just a fracture, there are people meeting all across the country. this is just in washington, d.c. on the lawn, right there. the front of the capital, the mall, that spans between the capitol building and the washington monument and you can see in the background all the way to the steps where martin luther king once said he had a dream. we'll be right back. quality and reliability...

are more than words here. it's personal. i have diabetes. rodney's kid too. so we're so proud to manufacture... the accu-chek® aviva meters and test strips... here in the u.s.a. plus, we've proven you'll waste 50% fewer strips... when you use our meter, which means greater savings... for people with diabetes, like me.

>> people it's an brown, the 9/12 tea parties are on, and

other headlines, the president arrived in in minneapolis a short while ago for a rally on health care reform and in an interview to air tonight on "60 minutes" he says he'll take full responsibility for any problems with the health care overhaul, if it becomes law. and, family members of the yale university grad student who vanished days before she was to marry have cancelled her wedding tomorrow. yale is now offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to annie lee's whereabouts and new fallout from those stunning undercover videos taken at acorn offices and caroline shivley is live with the latest on that, any response yet from the white house? on the dropping of acorn from the census. >> reporter: no, so far in alerter last night the bureau director said account became a dis track from the bureau's mission and no longer had confidence in the group and the hidden camera video did it and shows a man and woman, posing as a pimp and prostitute at the baltimore office and on the tapes you can hear an acorn employee tell the alleged hooker

to lie to the irs and say she worked as a performance artist and a woman with acorn gave guidance on how to claim under age prostitutes frommel salvadore as dependents and acorn says it fired the two employees on the tapes and some are now calling for a federal investigation. patti ann, back to you. >> thank you i'm patti ann browne and now back to the special two hour edition of glenn beck. >> no reaction yet, but, air force one has touched down, right? let's go to washington, d.c. and we're joined now, with our 9/12 volunteers, administrator, yvonne donnelly, hi. >> reporter: hi, glenn beck! >> how are you. >> reporter: gosh, a great day for america, i am -- i am one of the -- best things i heifer did in my life. >> you are somebody if i'm not mistaken, yvonne, have been a lifelong liberal in fact, you were a lefty for a while, until

9/11, if i'm not mistaken and your husband -- >> that's right, glenn. >> and what happened, you said to your husband, what? on 9/11. >> well, on 9/11 i said, how could this happen? and he jumped off the couch, and he said, because of you, and i'll leave out a couple of words and your liberal friends! and i said you're right. and i have been wrong and i woke up. >> okay. and so this is for you, this is about principles, this is not about republican or democrat, what are you hearing and seeing that you can share with anybody who is not there? >> well, what i'm hearing and sharing is just that people were just owe motivated, motivated to come out here today, glenn, i am meeting people that came all by themselves. and i have talked to them and i'm, what were you thinking and they said they just had to be

here. it's not about wanting, it is about having to be here and having to stand up for your country, and your freedom and the principles and the values, that we stand by as americans. >> yvonne, have you heard -- i know you have been there a couple of days and talking to people as they started to gather earlier. have you noticed at all, that there are people trying to use this for politics? to make this about republicans? is that embraced? is that happening? or is that rejected? >> no, i believe if i'm hearing you correctly, glenn that that is rejected. this is not about politics at all and that what is i'm hearing from everybody i talk to and when i say i talk to people i cannot begin to tell you, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people. >> how did they find out about it, yvonne. >> it was really kind of amazing, because they did find about it from the 9/12 project i'm proud to say, and they just

heard it on your show, they heard it on freedom works, and i don't know -- some people i really don't know how they found out but a lot of people i talked to, that i'm proud to say, they found out, on 9/12.com, gosh! this is crazy! >> who is speaking now, yvonne, what is happening now? >> i don't know! i have no idea! i can hardly hear myself think, which is -- on some days is a good thing, but... listen to -- can you hear this? >> yes, we can. i see, i see a lot of -- i see a lot of signs, i saw one a minute ago, and i don't think anybody on television ever has seen a sign, somebody holds up a religious scripture and reads it. i wanted to read it thch sign said, ephesians, 6:12, and i looked it up before i went on the air and i think this says it best on what people are doing. for we wrestle not against flesh

and blood, but against principality. against powers, against the rules of the darkness of the world, against spiritual wickedness, in high places. i think that is... >> absolutely. >> i think that describes, at least what a lot of people i know are feeling now, yvonne, thank you very much. let me -- >> thank you -- >> can i pass along to you, that everybody here says thank you to you? >> you thank them back. it is kind of a -- >> i have been. >> an amazing team effort, here, of regular citizens, just spreading the word. i just threw it out and said we should get to know our neighbors and stand together and look what happened. >> look at what you did. a pleasure to be here. >> let's go back to patti ann browne, watching a couple of things for me, watching the twitter? watching the blog sites, what else are you -- 9/12 project, lots of different sites and you are getting lots of thank yous, and praise and lots of prayers

and whatnot and also criticism and some -- i'll start with the more negative things, and on facebook i remember all of the flags and patriotic crap that hit the market within 24 hours of the attacks and i remember being terribly offended and disturbed by that and felt no more patriotic on the 12th and the 10th and i still don't. >> wow. holy cow, i actually think, that is hard to address. i will say this: i felt patriotic on 9/11 and 9/12. however, i remember having a big argument when i released the book, "real america" with my publish, simon and schuster and they came out, maybe, 2003, maybe, and i said i don't want the... it was my first book and they had -- i don't want the flags on it, because i felt the flag was being used politically, and so i think i can kind of understand and i'll be honest, can we show it in the background, in the

background, what -- an honest moment of television. this thing, here, yeah, there. i hate that thing i think hate that and have asked from day one, can we not have that behind me because i don't like it. it is red, white and blue and stars and stripes and i don't want to have a viewer look and say, i'm trying to wrap myself in the flag. because the flag is supposed to mean more than just one opinion. so i understand that, but it is not the flag. it's this principles behind the flag. the people that made us able to hoist that flag and follow the banner of should have been liberty and freedom for all. >> patriotic crap, gotta love that, we were attacked as a direct result of our empire from the 912 project site, if we truly believed in freedom we'd understand the resentment that ac this installing our military in other countries to protect our corporate interests.

>> by the way, a democratic strategist is with us and i'll go to you in a second and i wanted to recognize you. and you know, that one is, i am becoming more and more libertarian every day. i guess the scales are falling off of my eyes, as i'm doing more and more research into history and learning real history, and back in the turn of the century, 1900, with teddy roosevelt, a republican we started this we're going to tell the rest of the world and spread democracy and really became down in latin america, we really became brutish and got worse with the next progressives that came into office and teddy roosevelt and the next was a democratic progressive, woodrow wilson and we empire-built and the democrats felt we needed to empire-build with one giant global government, originally what was it called, league of nations, league of nations and then became the united nations and one world government and the republicans took it as, we're going to lead the world and we'll be the leader of it. i don't think we should be

either of those. i think we need to million dollar our own business and protect our own people, and when somebody hits us, hit us hard and then, come home. pat. >> it is so interesting you say this, the founding fathers, when the country was built the first generation, what they -- look what they wrote about, they were not on a crusade to save the world with our military and people and they said we'll be the shining example, we will stand inspire people all around the world. that is what they put on the -- put on their symbol of the country to do, and what the beacon of freedom was to be, an idea. >> i joined my faith honestly because i watched people in it, nobody pushed me into it, nobody force meade into it. i watched them over years and years and years as i was struggling with things and would say they have struggled, the same kind of struggles and can deal with it and i wanted it to be like that, what our

found,wanted for the country, not a forced, you are going to be this, but, just watch. watch what we can do. all right, ba in a second, a plan of action by the way, next hour. what you can do, next. because it is coming, gang! it's come and good things are coming. back in a second.

>> you know, i... a lot of

people are going to painted me or the movement or whatever and i don't care any more, any way you wanted, it's important that americans come together and understand one thing. i don't care who you vote for. i really don't. you vote for republicans, vote for a democrat, i think quite frankly, you vote for either of them right now, and you still haven't gotten it. and, they are both taking us into a land of gigantic government where they control everything through corruption and everything else. but it doesn't matter who you look for and what you labeled yourself, the question is, who are americans? and what a mean by that, is, what do we stand for? do we rule or does the government rule, does the media make the decisions, do they reflect -- does the media reflect us? or does the media expect us to

reflect them? that's where they -- really the basic question, that is in our culture right now. who are we? we're at a crossroads. we're going to change. and, sitting around and denying it or, worse, aring about stuff that really doesn't matter, in the grand scheme of things, is going to be a decision. those in power, both right and left, congressman mike pence and south carolina senator jim demint are both in washington, hello, gentlemen, how are you? >> hey, glenn, glad to be here. >> glad to be here. >> you guys are probably two of the politicians from either party, that one be tarred an feathered standing in the crowd. you guys have been standing up against corruption and big government in your party as well as the opposing party.

can you tell me what it feels like to be a politician in washington today? >> well, glenn i'm a lot more comfortable in this crowd than i am in the one in the capitol in front of me today. and i really think that represents a broad cross-section of the american people, and they are speaking about the core values of freedom and the constitution, and this is a great day for what mike and i worked for, for many years. i feel -- >> i feel the same way and i have to tell you, jim and i were in tough battles with leaders of our own party back in 2003, when the bush administration and republican leaders were expanding entitlements in medicare, and jim demint and i were along the handful of conservatives that fought against that, and i gotta tell you, we were just talking, sometimes you wonder if folks back home knew how tough it was out here among our own and when i look at the crowd of hundreds of thousands it feels to me like

the cavalry arrived. >> good, i think they have and now the question is, are the good guys going to be able to be separated from the bad guys inside? you know, i think one thing the media misses about sarah palin, all the time, is that one of the things i think people like about sarah palin is that she didn't go after the democrats first, she went after the republicans first. in her own state she clean out her own party and that is what people are looking for and i'll outline something next hour that i think will help reinforce the calvary for people in washington, d.c. that would like toee cavalry. and what will it take for people like you to -- and i know senator you and i talked yesterday, you felt a little like your fingers are in this dike because are busy trying to stop the flood from coming in. what will it take for you to be able to say, you know what? i gotta clean out the hornet's nest in my own party and make

sure that my own party is -- and the democrats, what will it take to find a few good democrats to say, i'm going to clean out the rat's nest in my party? >> glenn, i wasn't waiting for this day, i know mike has for years. there are a lot of people in my party who think we are the problem. i think what we are finding out today, along with hundreds of thousands of people behind me, that we have got america behind us, and if the republican party will carry the banner for the people who are here today, i think the majority of americans will come with us and i just hope the rest of the republicans here in congress will be smart enough to see that. and let me say, glenn, i really do believe that in 2006 and 2008, republicans, didn't just lose our right to govern, we lost our way, i mean, we lost those elections because we walked away from the principles that had drawn hundreds of thousands of people in the

nation's capitol, to the tea parties all across the country and town hall meetings and the good news for me, at least, i'll speak with the -- in the house of representatives, you look at the unanimous stand against the so-called stimulus bill. look at the stand against the president's run away budget, almost unanimous stand against cap-and-trade and i believe the unanimous stand against the government takeover of health care, republicans are getting it -- >> i -- >> and identifying deals expressed here. >> may i say to both of you and i'd love to hear your explanation. look, everyone on both sides of the aisle have gotten extraordinary amount of heat, from my program, in fact i don't have politician on my program, any more, because quite honestly, and you guys are two of the good one, i don't know who to believe anymore. and, this came from -- what it came from was the republican party, for me, at least, it came from, i didn't see a pivot

point. i'm a recovering al hoic and i can -- alcoholic and i can tell you, the moment i said enough, i have to change my life or i will die and i have not seen that from the republican party. i don't think america has seen a moment where the -- where you knew they got it and so what the american people feel is, when they see you guys stand against the president on stimulus or against health care they don't believe that is a principle, they believe that is because that is what you have to do now. >> well, glenn, i think you are right. i don't think we have come to the point as a party, at least in our leadership on the senate side we are willing to admit that we have a problem, and as you know that is when the recovery begins. i think our party on the house side is starting to get their act together. we're beginning to see the light on the senate side. but i still can't tell you who you can trust but i can tell you who you can't trust. and i know the democrats -- democrat party now is solid,

moving us in the wrong direction and have to get this republican side together so americans will have a place to come to. i really agree with -- >> i really agree with that. >> may i say i had a phone call yesterday, somebody walked into my office and said, glenn -- and i will not tell you who it was, so-and-so wants to talk to you and this is a -- if i'm not mistaken we looked at each other and thought this is going to be trouble because he's somebody well-known and, i believe he's a democrat. a well-known democrat and i thought it will not go well and picked it up and powerful, influential mover and shake are in america, and he picked up known -- i picked up the phone with him and he said, glenn, it's time to take a stand and he said, i think the people in the democratic party, there are a lot of them that are not with this hard left's progressive wing but are afraid to take a stand, and they'll be crushed by

the machine. do you believe either one of you, that that is true? >> i really do, glenn. i will tell you, hundreds of people that filled the town hall meetings in my district, there are about as many democrats as there were republicans there and i venture, if fox news plunge in other crowd and did a survey, you would find republicans, independents and democrats -- >> what i mean -- >> an american movement that want us to practice what we preach in our constitution and traditions of fiscal responsibility, and personal responsibility. >> okay. i'd like to continue the conversation, and i don't know if we can have you back at any time today but i'd like to continue the conversation because i think you misunderstood what i was asking, are, are there good democrats inside and are there good republicans inside that are afraid of the machine more afraid of the machine than they are of the people? >> glenn, i think you are right. and, when we can make politicians more afraid of their voters, and the people behind

me, than they are special interests, we can start to turn this place around. there are plenty of good democrats, but they are paralyzed right now. >> thank you very much, gentlemen, i appreciate it. >> thank you, glenn. >> the top of the hour i am going to show you how to take that machine down, i'll show you how to do it. we're all going to have to work together, republicans, democrats, and independents. now, to patti ann browne with a check of youres. >> news from now, russian media reporting the north is preparing for a third nuclear test, under orders from president kim jong-il. and no preliminary winner yet in afghanistan's presidential vote and officials released new results today, showing president hamid karzai with 54%, and challenger abdullah abdullah with 28%, and, new reports on the health of lockerbie bomber abdel basset mohamed al-megrahi. reuters is reporting doctors and his brother say his health has greatly deteriorated in the last day. and abdel basset mohamed al-megrahi was released from prison in scotland last month and allowed to return home to

starting to add up in these people's mind and wait a ii, i'm so nice, why are you attack me, this is one of the reasons why people are coming to the tea parties, wanting to show an expression of their decency and it's not a crazed group of people. there is a band behind me and people are hugging each other and wearing shirts with american flags and the only evil i can see are these lhasa apsos, wearing american flag t-shirt, don't dress dogs. >> people that don't dress -- don't dress dogs, don't let peta know, this is a good point, you have been in instrumental in helping -- the new web site, biggovernment.com, you helped with getting video for me for the van jones thing and you were on that, right along with us. and, now, the acorn, leading the way on that. is the media complicit?

suppression of modern society is this sense that you are alone, that you are by yourself, and nobody knows how you feel and most people think the same thing and we are talking about this question about partisanship, and this is not democrats and republicans, the new paradigm is a political class of entrenched interests versus a mainstream country, regardless of the partisanship and yesterday, gallup came out with a poll, new poll, and it -- on the eve of this which is amazing showing that the confidence in the congress, and in politicians who run for office is this lowest in history. but, yet the highest trust is in the people themselves, they believe and the answer -- >> in the hands of government, that started with the bush administration. no. no. started, started -- >> ions ago. >> teddy roosevelt for the republicans, it started with big government people, that were progressive back then and, both parties are saying, trust us

more, give us more, and people are saying, no, no, no, we trust us. >> the problem is, that what we have forgotten is that your alegionians to the country and your children -- allegiance to the country and your children's future, it's not to a political party and when you spoke about corruption this week it is -- i have been saying for years it is a poison that literally is a -- eviscerating the insides of america and taking away the idea of who we are and what we are about and what we can do. >>ee -- there is a sense today and i know, there are a lot of people, we're on the path to becoming a country like mexico. where the people are good but the government has been skrupt for so long because of special interests, and they -- >> and the power -- the exercise to oppress people from being able to get into the system. people have no idea. the machinery, the leviathan there to crush anybody who wants
