>> well, we really appreciate your stepping out of the meeting and we know you are busy and we greatly appreciate your time and we want to talk to you after the meeting and the vote to get more of your thought. >> thank you, absolutely. >> and even if there is a dealp a proved, there is more fighting ahead this fall as a bipartisan super committee seeks to find another $1.5 trillion in cuts by the end of the year. this is what david plouffe had to say just this morning on "today." >> we have an opportunity this fall, congress does, to revisit another debt reduction and in that stage entitlement reform and tax reform will be looked at. >> we are joined by mark murray, and we just heard congresswoman bass say there are things that she hates in the deal, but felt that there was no other option here with what is many are categorizing as extortion by the right wing and by the tea party caucus and whatever you call it, but david plouffe says we will see it again with this same

dynamic again. >> but this time, tamron, the dynamic could help democrats. we have a super committee with the results around thanksgiving time and action right before christmas and it would deal with the revenues that the democrats are hoping to be able to get that they wanted to extract in that grand bargain, and of course, the republicans would not budge on any tax revenue increases, e including eliminating the loopholes but the defense cuts and medicare and social security cutts may be a compromise to democrats to get revenues from the revenpublican and the republicans get revising the cuts. >> and so i was talking to michael smerconish who said why would this work? because there are entitlement incentives here to work it out

and at that point we would not be surprised if people are doubtful. >> well, people shouldn't be doubtful, because there has always been trying to be a grand bargain and very hard to get done. one thing that should have a little bit of optimism is that at least on the u.s. senate side, there are the contours for a deal. we have seen that gang of six, that bipartisan group of u.s. senators that pretty much agree on that broad framework on fixes to taxes and entitlements, and it is the same thing in the simpson/bowles that was approved by bipartisan senators. and of course, the sticking debate is president obama and john boehner and the house majority, and that is the real battleground, but the triggers could extract compromises on both sides. >> all right. mark, thank you very much. we appreciate it. we have breaking news involving on "newsnation" which involves the case of a missing 11-year-old girl from new hampshire.

investiga investigators look forrer celina cass have found a female body near a hydraulic dam a quarter mile from her home, and the body has not been identified yet which comes right after her father was taken to the hospital this morning. we have this video which says that he was acting strange outside of the home and face down on the pavement and falling to his knees and he has a history of schizophrenia, but not named a suspect in the case. michelle franzen joins me live by phone at stewartsville, and again, we are looking at the video, and this man is not a person of interest, but people in and around the area see this strange behavior and wonder what is going on there? >> well, that is right, tamron. we were there across the street from the home this morning when we spotted this behavior, and the behavior that you are seeing on camera. a short time later, he was on the porch, and ambulance came, and paramedics had come to check him out and we don't know for

what medical condition, but we do know that wendel noyes was taken to the hospital by ambulance and her mother joined him on the side in the ambulance, and we know what kind of week it has been for the family awaiting word. it has been a week since celina cass has disappeared, and they have been cooperating with the investigators and they have been questioned several times throughout the week, and as you mentioned, there are reports coming out now that certainly, activity in and around a dam a half mile away from her home. we are still waiting for official word from new hampshire officials, and that would be the attorney general. he is expected along with the attorney general jane young, and to have a press conference later today to give us more details on that, but certainly, the mood here has shifted. the searchers are starting to come in, and they are not out as

much, and definitely an active scene in and along that river where they are focusing all efforts at this time. and in the meantime, the family outside of the home as well as people in the small town of 800 as word starts to filter out are then of course becoming more sad by the hour. tamron. >> thank you, michelle, for the update. meteorologists are keeping an eye on a system east of martinique, and it tops the story today on "newsnation." the storm could become a tropical depression and later today, the national hurricane center said it has a chance to become a hurricane and if so it will be named emily and has a chance to hit the u.s. by the end of the the week. and hsbc says it will cut 3,000 jobs worldwide and it will sell half of the branchs in the u.s. most are to be sold in upstate new york and connecticut. they say it is part of the new

infrastructure, and talking about investment in education and talking right now about investment in innovation, and the president made it clear in his state of the union message, but the truth of the matter is that there is a sort of damage hanging around one's head and it is the debt ceiling. >> more reaction from washington, but that was vice president joe biden following the meeting with the house democrats. and the fbi believes it has a lead in the only unsolved hijacking. the man known as d.b. cooper left the plane in a parachute and it is a national obsession for some since 1971, and the focus of movies, and books and documents and asking, who is d.b. cooper? well, the fbi says that fragments off a fingerprint could answer that question. joining me now from a new york magazine jeffrey grays and also the author of a new case "sky jack, the hunt for d.b. cooper" and i have told you, i'm

obsessed with this. i like so many others, it is so fascinating and let's talk about the new lead with the fbi. i understand that you are skeptical about it? >> well, right, right. what is not surprising to me about this is that the fbi has a new suspect. this happens all of the time in this case. there has been over 1,000 suspects an persons of interest. >> people have confessed, they just made up stories. >> there are a lot of db coopers out there. but what is unique is that the fbi has passed along a fi fingerprint sample, but that is different, but from my reporting the forensic evidence that the fbi completed from the plane, itself, is not great and partial and a lot of of reason to doubt that it could actually be matched to secure, close the deal once and for all that this is the guy. >> as i point out, this is a frag fragment of a fingerprint, and do we know how or why they discovered it in the first place? >> well, we do. when this plane landed in reno november 24th, 1971, the fbiing

as dusted all of the plane and the dusted the bathroom and the walls and what they found was a lot of fingerprints and a lot of people on the plane. they looked at the inflight magazine and found at lot of partial fingerprints and believed that the hijacker might have leafed through the magazine, but so would have a lot of people. and with a partial print, one fbi agent told me a lot of thes in this one. >> can you do the audio version of the book when you do sthshgs becau -- you do this, because i am leaning in, it is fascinating. i think he died jumping from the plane. you scoff at my theory. >> well, in the book, there is evidence that he did live and he might have landed in another place than we think. >> well, great timing for your new book coming out now that our interest is piqued again in the fascinating mystery. thank you, geoffry. >> thank you. >> and another finish at the box office mr. rogers neighborhood

is all grown up and heading back to tv. speaking of tv, remember when mtv played music videos 30 years ago? let's get the scoop from pop columnist courtney hazlett, and i wanted to see the "smurfs" and i did not. >> well, i wanted to see it because it was tying with "cowboys and aliens" and people thought it was the bigger movie, but both movies will gross $36.2 million and now some late results coming in showing that the "cowboys and aliens" might finish $100,000 to $400,000 ahead, but that is a dead heat so that shows a dearth of programming for families. as good as harry potter was it was not a kid movie and intense and i cried like nancy kerrigan when i watched it and i was like "smurfs" not so much.

>> and what is going on with mister rogers? >> well, the next generation and beginninging in the fall of 2012 daniel tigers neighborhood and this is the next generation of mr. rogers' characters and daniel tiger is a young tiger in an animated series unlike the live mr. rogers series that you are seeing there, and he is going to be the tiger son of daniel's striped tiger and if you watched mr. rogers running from 1968 to 2001, you know who daniel tiger is, and at any rate maybe because i'm from pittsburgh and that is where this franchise began, i can't see myself showing the son or daughter this animated version, because it does not seem right. it is going to have to be something for a lot of fans when you see it. >> you will buy or not. >> and mtv turns 30? >> that is right. see if you recognize thele following that aired 30 years ago today. ♪
