show them the money. how much the presidential candidates are bringing in and how much they need. new york ci new york sit in protests. why the rage over corporate greed is being felt around the world? and, plus, how the money from tucan sam got shelved. how much money did they pull in over the last three months? in all, over $100 million got pulled into presidential campaigns. >> alex, money cannot by and it's a very important gauge of

how the health of a candidacy is going, especially now that we are going deeper and deeper into the campaign season. the staying power here of october 15th. all of their earnings, how much they spent, how much they took in over the course of the last three months. let's get right to it. rick perry leads the republican field. mitt romney right behind him at around $14 million, or just under it. herman cain told reporters, $2.8 million. some of the other candidates, michele bachmann among them, she's going to have an announcement that is sure to shake up this race. a hint perhaps about her fundraising prowess. huntsman and santorum not showing much activity on the fundraising side and that does not speak well to the future of

their campaigns. alex? >> mike viqueira, thank you so much. >> thank you. the "class" program is being scrapped. it would have been a voluntary program with monthly premiums and would not have needed tax dollar. it was a long-time dream of the late ted kennedy but was determined to be financially unstable. the president is happy that the congress passed new trade agreements. >> it was so disappointing to see senate republicans obstruct the americans jobs act even though the majority of senators voted yes to advance this jobs

bill. the american people support the proposals in this jobs bill and want action to create jobs and restore the middle class right now. >> let's go to the gop field now. herman cain now. >> if you talk to my staff from the beginning, i made it clear, i'm not going to be programmed. i'm not going to be sounding like a politician. i'm going to say things that some people are not going to like but i'm not going to retract it. because if i said it and they report it the way i said it, i'm going top stand behind it. >> and rick perry talks about putting americans back to work. >> today, my plan is based on

this simple premise. make what americans buy. buy what americans make. and sell it to the world. ron paul released an ad on friday. >> committed to life. >> this whole notion of life not being valuable is just something that i was never able to accept. >> and a primary standoff is heating up. the primary date of november 14th is the nevada primary votes. now jon huntsman says a boycott will start as early as the tuesday debate. >> i say, if you're going to boycott nevada, then you boycott the debate. you do it straight up, fully loaded. we're boycotting the state of nevada when it comes to political events and we're going

to be here in new hampshire, showing our solidarity with the state that has been the first primary in the country. >> so for more on where the republican field stands, i'm joined by mark murray. good saturday morning to you. >> good morning, alex. >> so we have critics of herman cain's 9-9-9 plan. >> alex, it would be regressive on people that don't make that much money due to the 9% sales tax. a familiar hey of four making $ would be much more taxing than the family of four who make $300,000 a year. it would amount to a very large tax cut for the wealthy mainly because you take away things like the inheritance tax and the fact that a family of four making $300,000 pays that 9% income tax, personal income.

the other criticism of the plan is that it would actually potentially increase the size of the deficit because you would bring in less revenue and unless there are spending cuts, that would increase the size of the deficit. but cain's campaign has made so much traction, mainly because of how marketable it is. americans want a very simple tax code and cain's plan 9-9-9 makes a lot of sense to people. >> when it gets so convoluted, it goes right over their head. but with regard to perry, his wife anita took a public role. she says her husband's campaign has been brutalized by the press. and then she said this yesterday. >> his job because of the federal regular layings that washington has put on us. he resigned his job two weeks ago because he can't go out and campaign for his father because

of fcc regulations. my son lost his job because of this administration. >> is she helping or hurting the campaign? >> overall i think she's helping the campaign. she's been very, very honest, as you often see spouses do on the campaign trail. we saw bill clinton back in 2008 be more honest about where things were than the principle herself. sometimes the spouses take these campaigns a whole lot more personally. and they are also very honest. on this particular situation with her son, he's a financial adviser and according to security exchange commission rules, financial advisers can't serve on campaigns. that might not get a lot of sympathy for americans because he doesn't necessarily have to be on the campaign. he could keep his job and certainly be the son of a sitting texas governor. he's not in a situation that a lot of other people are but overall she's been a positive

for the campaign but certainly has gotten a lot of attention recently. >> can we talk about all of the movement since august relative to the poll out? look at this. cain jumping to first, romney falling dramatically, and then perry. what does this mean for the campaigns? particularly, what about mitt romney's campaign? >> it shows you how volatile this campaign is. first it was bachmann and then herman cain and now mitt romney. as far as mitt romney, there are two ways to look at it. it could have the narrative as other candidates are going up and down, he's mr. steady eddie in the race. other people say with rick perry's poll numbers plummeting, why isn't romney getting more support? so many signs are pointing to the inevitable front-runner.

there is the narrative that he hasn't made the sales with the conservatives. when you dig down deep in "the wall street journal" poll, you find that he is acceptable and might not be their first choice and their first choice is herman cain and he is at least acceptable. they are hoping that he's able to win. so two different ways to look at it much course we're not going to know until the voting begins. >> maybe. fortunately new zealand to japan and the uk, the first international day of action. protesters' web side say that they are in 951 cities around the world and across 82 countries. it's past new york and past the

big banks and into times square. mara, good morning. what are you seeing there? >> reporter: right now the group is getting ready because they are going to walk past the big banks and they will end up in times square. this is a global day of protest. organizers say that there are going to be events in hundreds of cities around the world and we have already seen some of those starts in places like australia and asia and now notably in europe. and in rome a peaceful protest turned violent when group of protesters started smashing windows and setting cars on fire. right now we're still seeing smoke rise up from the areas in rome. fortunately, they are part of the anti-us a stare tree and it

would look like they are joining with the anti-austerity protests that have been going on for a while now. in london, several hundred protesters came out for their day of protests in front of the stock exchange. so all over the world we are seeing a bit of a presence. and the reasons are simple. for one, it's a saturday. yesterday was a weekday in the early hours of the morning. they have 1,000 protesters. it could be a very large event. alex? >> we expect it may be. thank you for covering it, mara. the first casualty of the president's health care law. how much development does it give to his critics. retail rebound. what is fueling these sales and how long will the spending spree last? she started screaming and i closed my eyes and put my hands over my face to cover my eyes and when i looked and opened, she was gone.

a new article talks about "the silent majority." joe klein says, "i asked them what was on their minds. civility said jane miller. a democrat we can't seem to have a reason conversation about

anything anymore." good morning, the two of you. >> good morning. >> rumor has it, pat, that you're the one that coined that phrase for president nixon. are you the one? are you the one that built the silent majority? >> back in 1969 we used silent majority, new majority, and other titles. but i'll tell you this. the president did write the speech himself and used the phrase, i believe in the november 3rd, 1969 speech. that was between two demonstrations, one where they had 300,000 people outside the white house in october and 500,000 came out in november. >> did time magazine send you any royalties for this? >> i don't get anything for royalties i've written, unfortunately. >> okay, pat. let's go you with, karen, and give me a sense of the mood in america right now. >> well, obviously people are frustrated. the thing that is so surprising, if we go back to right after the

bank bailouts, there was talk that people are going to take to the streets. people then had to go into survival mode and now people are saying, enough is enough. they were hopeful that things might be able to change, that maybe leaders in washington could get something done and now that is just not happening. i think what is important about what joe klein did, the other part is the 99%. and these are people that are our neighbors, our friends, veterans who can't find jobs, a nursing student who can't find a job as a nurse so she's waiting tables and she has $100,000 in loans. >> what i think they are talking about is the incivility. the poison in politics.

i agree with karen to the point that the banks were bailed out, bank of america, aig, tens and hundreds of billions of dollars and so they are fat and cushy. at the same time, unemployment went up to 10% and they don't have jobs and that's common -- the concern about that is the occupy wall street as well as the tea party group. you have the frustration on one side. middle america would like the country that they had but i'm not sure that they would be able to get it back. >> karen, i want to talk about another excerpt that talks about the president's appeal in arkansas. he, obama, might have had al shot if he hadn't come out so extreme. if he didn't come out with health care and the cap and

trade. do you think that they have regrets? >> yes, doi. i personally thought -- i don't think it was a mistake to go to health care because it's one of the greatest costs that is impacting our economy. i think they could have made a stronger pace and argument about that link to the economy and made that economic argument a little earlier on. i also think, though, cap and trade as well as the health care reform legislation both became very divisive battles. but, again, part of what we have to recognize and what i hope americans recognize, if you want something different, you have to vote for it. that's the only way it's going to happen. if we continue to elect people who are going to be so adversarial, you are going to get more of this. >> but, you know, alex, the president of the united states had his own way for two years. had he a veto group essentially and the majority in the house. he set the priorities that he did and did what he did and they ran three straight deficits for

$4 trillion. he got obama care and it didn't work. and so i don't know what else he could have done. >> but, come on, pat, that's revisionist history. you and i both know that the republicans in the senate did everything that they could to block him at every single turn. when they got power back in 2010, they have made it clear that they will run this country in the ground before they consider a victory for obama. >> pat, i want to ask you, has the tea party significantly changed things in washington in is the tea party responsible for poisoning the air? >> no, i think it's a response to what they saw barack obama doing when he started moving in all of these different directions rather than focusing on the economy which was the main issue. there's no doubt that the tea party put into power the 63 republicans or an awful lot of them and the reason they are there is because the tea party is saying, stop the spending, for heaven's sake.

you are bankrupting this country. that is a source of a conflict. >> but instead, pat, those members are participating in running this country into the ground. that's what we're seeing happening. >> who? >> the tea party majority who is the tale wagging the dog. >> i think he needs a congress that is interested in getting things done than trying to figure out ways to defeat him. >> if the american people won't say holt -- they were saying holt, stop moving in the direction that obama is going and move it in a different direction. >> pat, let's be really clear about what is going on. >> love you both. have you back later.

welcome back to "weekends with alex witt." the obama administration is pulling the plug on a provision that would have included long-term insurance for the elderly and disabled. they couldn't figure out how to make it both affordable and solvent. joining me is karen finney. >> i'm sure it's not something that they wanted to do but they realized that they were working fortunately inside and the numbers were not going to work, we can not do this for now but i

still think it's important to know that it's still a good idea that we need to figure out and come back to. >> martin, this program was part of ted kennedy's vision. how much of a blow is this? >> i don't think it's a big deal. it was always the weakest part of health care. people already have this under medicaid. poor people have this coverage, get rid of all your assets, and also federal employees, both civilian and military have had this option and there was a very substantial premium that you have to pay under a private insurance program and i guess they figured out they couldn't make this work. they certified it as being

financially sound over a period. >> like you, i have signed up as well and pay a pretty penny. but from a political perspective, a lot of people are going to want access to this. how damaging is that, martin? >> i think it's a blip on the screen. if people knew how much it was, they wouldn't decide it was a big deal in the first place. i hope it will survive scrutiny by the supreme court and it's a minor part of the bill and some people will be disappointed. there's no question about that. >> well, similar to your question, martin is exactly right. at the same time, we know that the political climate in washington is such that republicans and others will try to make this a bigger deal and try to say that this is indicative of the failure of the plan overall. as martin said, this was always a part that was -- they knew there would be potential problems and it's still a very

good idea. and it's something that we need to come back to. to your point, yes, people will try to use this against the president. i hope the administration stands firm and reminds people of all of the things that are working in the health care act. do you think they dropped this intentionally on a friday because they knew that this would be a hot button issue? >> no, alex, i'm sure i don't know what you're talking about. putting the garbage out on friday? >> martin, go ahead. >> the biggest issue is what the supreme court is going to do on the question of the mandate and that's going to be resolved before the election. the supreme court is going to hear argument and decide this case no later than the end of june when the term ends and that's what everybody should be focusing on. that's when we'll know whether the health care program, the plan passed by congress and advocated by the president is going to survive or not.

>> so to each of you, jobs versus health care, where do we go from here, karen? >> well, they are intimately linked. jobs continues to be the focus. as the president's plan continues to come online, people will appreciate the plan and the more they learn about it, the more they like about it. right now we have to focus on jobs. >> martin, do you agree? do you think that fact weighs on american's mentality or do you think they are like, get me a job? >> well, job is the first choice. first priority. but they are linked because so much of health care in this country is tied to your job. it's done as an employee benefit. but the administration and the congress have got to focus exclusively on jobs. they can't get distracted. they need to do everything that they can. this is what we need to do to

create jobs. the republicans are not for it. this is the issue going into the campaign. >> ckaren finney and martin frost, thank you. the reverend al sharpton's rally for justice and jobs is getting under way. he will be talking about his support for the president's jobs bill. joining me right now is todd johnson. good morning to you, todd. how is it going so far? >> reporter: good morning, alex. things are just getting started as people are going up to the podium. to the left and mind of me are hundreds of people sitting on the grass where the rally is taking place. i had a chance to talk to a cross-section of people from all over the country, people in the health care industry, people

that are teachers, representing labor unions, civil rights organizations. people are hopeful but they are hurting. several people that i've talked to this morning. >> thank you for your report but it's kind of -- i see you doing this as well. it's loud. we will come back later and speak to you when it's quieter. thank you so much, todd johnson. ware going to hear more from reverend al sharpton in a few minutes. in our weekend recall, what may be a real life hotel california. residents of an apartment building that was once a hotel are cons convinced that there are ghosts in the halls. here is more. >> the people who live here are convinced that they are not alone. convinced that among the 20 or so apartments in the catalina street building that are unseen guests. >> and it slowly opened. >> it's described as erie.

>> i feel a little uncomfortable at times. i don't know why. and then i go around the corner and i feel fine. >> reporter: in the six years that he moved into the laguna apartment, he has seen a dog and then a man. >> a shadow comes out like this and then goes back. >> reporter: according to the historical society, this was built in 1915. taughted as unique and rustic for its time. it became the sunset in. long-time residents say that the building is far from silent. a few years back, this woman says she awoke to find a young girl in her bed. >> she touched my face and i started screaming and closed my eyes and put my hands over my face just to cover my face and then when i opened them, they were gone.

>> like this girl playing on the outdoor balancony. >> i don't sense any negative energy but i do sense energy. we have some guests here. >> and it seems those guests have no intention of leaving. >> and that was vicky vargas reporting. a new report shows that consumers are stepping up their spending, leaving to a surprise spike in retail sales. sales jumped 1.1% and it's double what economists projected. that's giving hope that another recession is unlikely. i'm joined by jim la camp, host of "money sense." >> good morning. >> good morning. the unemployment rate is at 9.1%. how is spending up? bho is driving these sales and who is buying? >> it's really interesting. we have a lot of conflicting

data. we have consumer sentiment that is really bad. we have incomes that are flat. we have unemployment that is not improved. the unemployment rate, yet consumers spend and continues to grow. that's a good sign. a lot of it is pent-up demand. if you look at the breakdown of the report, a lot of auto sales and the average car in smerk now 11 years. some of it has been of demand that is translating into new sales. beyond that, you have to wonder how long it's going to last without job growth because consumers are dipping into their savings to keep the spending up and that part of it is not a good sign. >> very worrying indeed. let's talk about herman cain's 9-9-9 plan which includes a 9% sales tax. do you think that would make consumers spend less? >> retailers certainly don't like it. if you breakdown the plan, it depends on whose side you believe. he says we're eliminating taxes along the way and showing you

the taxes already built into your price already. we're just making them trans parent to you. the retailers say we can't afford this. it's going to hurt low income and middle-income consumers and really going to hurt retirees because they don't have that income coming in. i think it's going to be neutral for consumer spending. >> auto sales were a major driving force behind that retail spike. you talked about people holding their cars longer. but for those for whose time it is to turn it in, it made the sales rise 3.6%. we were just talking about that twool two weeks ago. >> if you look at the manufacturing numbers across the country and at shipping and high-frequency data like hotel

occupancy, it says that we are not in a recession right now. in fact, we're just growing at a very slow rate. i think what we need to point out about consumer spending and one thing that is troubling, it's not keeping up with the inflation rate. inflation is running about 3.5%, consumer spending well below that. some of what you see is of more prices at the pump, higher gasoline prices, all of these things that translate into that number. the economy is growing but it's growing at a very subpar pace and we can't keep this up. we have to see better jobs growth to see these consumer spending numbers keep going like this. >> okay. jim la camp, talking money sense in dallas with us with weekends at alex witt. >> a big honor for stevie wonder in maryland. he was honored with a medallion. the ceremony was held ahead of
