. >> aipac shopping mall turns shooting range. >> shots rang out. >> gunfire broke out inside the macy's store at 7:30 saturday night, shoppers scrambling for cover. >> i grabbed my children my husband said go, go, go. there was another little boy, he is like i can't find my mommy. we grabbed him too. >> as the police around the building, the gun man escaped but not for long. the authorities caught up with him overnight and arrested him. the 17-year-old appeared before the judge sunday, facing several charges, including attempted homicide. they found him by using instagram. he took a picture hours before the shooting wearing the same outfit seen on store surveillance cameras. >> it was done through video surveillance. >> detectives say the surveillance footage shows him with a group of teenagers. he approaches a 20-year-old man come exchanges words, then draws his gun. as he opens fire, a husband and wife are walking between the accused shooter and his target, they are young son steps behind. all three victims are expected to survive. the police are not commenting about a possible motive

i told the story in the book after one of the aipac leaders who was central to that campaign offered to subsidize to put me in business as a consultant and was happy with the way the campaign came out and i said that i made it obviously was a great offer to a young guy who had no other means to start a business but i asked if that meant that if it were a republican or any candidate who is good on israel but bad on the council that could work against that candidate. we could do that and i opted out of that. i am uncomfortable with that kind of an arrangement where one issue, however important that issue is to that is how someone is evaluated. in terms of the current situation, i would dispute one thing. there's no doubt that there has been friction between president obama and prime minister netanyahu and i don't think that is news. it is important to note that in terms of military assistance and military-to-military cooperation and so on this is far from a bad time. the level of cooperation is as great or greater than it's ever been and people on both sides would say that. president o

netanyahu will also address the aipac conference which starts on sunday. neither president obama nor vice president biden, nor secretary of state john kerry will attend. white house press secretary josh earnest says that's skip the with the kind of administration participation we've seen in previous aipac conferences. members of the obama administration today having a tough time defending obamacare on capitol hill. first, the ceo of healthcare.gov would not answer a question on whether illegal immigrants have received benefits under obamacare. >> can you assure this committee and more importantly the american people that no illegals have signed up for obamacare and receive a subsidy or benefit. >> what i ascribe -- >> that's a simple question. can you assure the american people that no illegals have signed up and receive benefits from obamacare? >> what i've tried to do is to describe the process we do to validate -- >> that's not the question. you did that with my line of questioning last time. i'm asking you can you assure us no one is receiving benefits

administration is sending two top diplomats to the annual gathering of the powerful pro-israel group aipac. the conference opens sunday just two days before israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is set to address congress in a bid to undermine attempts at a nuclear deal with iran. white house national security advisor susan rice, who has called netanyahu's visit destructive, will address the aipac summit, along with u.s. ambassador to the u.n. samantha power. a group of 30 aid agencies has condemned the lack of progress rebuilding gaza after the summer's israeli assault. the group says reconstruction tens of thousands of destroyed homes, schools, hospitals has been woefully slow with 100,000 palestinians still displaced. the agency is called on israel to lift its blockade, which has barred needed construction materials from entering. i asked them says it will take over 100 years to rebuild gaza if the israeli blockade remains. and those are some of the headlines, this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman with juan gonzalez. >> welcome to all ou

it was a source of a lot of fundraising for senator simon, who was viewed by aipac and the organized jewish community as a stronger supporter of israel than percy was. i told the story in that book after one of the aipac leaders who was very central to the campaign offered to subsidies me in business to put me in business as a consultant and i said that i -- obviously a great offer to a young guy who had no other means to start a business but i asked if that meant that if there were a republican who -- or any candidate who was good on israel but bad on everything else, couldn't work against that candidate. they said you can't do that. i opted out of that. so i'm uncomfortable with that kind of an arrangement where one issue, however important that issue is, just so dominant that's how someone is evaluated, but in terms of the current situation, i would dispute one thing. there's no doubt that there's been friction between president obama and prime minister netanyahu, and i don't think that's news. it is important to note that in terms of mill tar assistance and -- military assistance

of course netanyahu is in the united states attending the aipac conference this weekend. >> here's what's so interesting about this lori. what netanyahu is going to talk about is not the possibility but the probability of a second holocaust where, a nuclear weapon delivered, what, 1100 miles away from the western deserts of iran could well strike tel aviv literally killing millions of people. this isn't about israel interfering with our elections or his elections or somehow messing up kerry's wonderful game plan for foreign policy. this is about the ability of the israeli people to survive. the ability of the state to prosper. this is not just an existential threat for israel. it is israel's -- it's the fear of israel's demise, and i salute the israeli leaders for standing up to the iranians. unfortunately this administration is not going to do that, the iranians will build a bomb, and the commander in chief the next commander in chief has to deal with a nuclear iran. lori: so simply put, is this just an issue of the president's beef with netanyahu, or a bigger problem with how the admini

. >> i was at israeli function and aipac function couple weekends ago a he one of our great friends there said congressman webber, we're not sure the president has israel's back. and i said friend we're not sure he's got america's back. >> it's ugly and a distraction from the issues that really matter including taking out this brutal group. >> this is a difficult mission and it will remain difficult for some time. it's going to take time to dislodge these terrorists, especially from urban areas. but our coalition is on the offensive. isil is on the defensive and isil is going to lose. >> joining me now is congressman jackie speier democrat of california. she served on the house armed services committee and "the washington post" jonathan capehart. thanks for being here. >> thanks rev. >> the president says isis is going to lose. can we beat them under the strategy he sent you today? >> well first of all, he needs to be applauded for sending an authorization for the use of military force to the congress. there are some of us on the democratic side that while we applaud him are concerned abo

have known that netanyahu was coming to the country because he was probably going to speak at this aipac united states but they did not know anything about being invited to speak to congress or any meeting with members of the government and they were genuinely offended by that because they say the way it usually works is the government -- the u.s. government invites them and then everybody decided how they're going to meet with the leader. so this was a real shock and they felt blind-sided. >> i imagine they would be very offended by what he has to say, too because he is going to tell the world what he has been saying, the deal with iran should not be happening, and that's the bottom line in all of this. that is the issue. trying to not let them get a nuclear weapon. your quick last thoughts. >> well, i'm note1Ñó sure it makes much difference, because the fact is it's not like a surprise. people know that benjamin netanyahu thinks this is a terrible deal, it's going to jeopardize the security of israel. i suppose it may put a little more pressure on him because he is speaking to a joint

mike, i'm surprised you weren't at c aipac. >> yeah.verybody offer with a stick if i go there. i'm like a rock star. no, no, no. what a great event to watch and kind of monitor because this could be sort of the emergence of one of the republican candidates. so we're watching all these guys so closely to see what they say. >> what did you think? rick perry is trying to make a comeback from some of his faux pas during the debates. you had jeb bush who was actually speaking during our show a couple of moments ago. some people said they were going to walk ou' in protest because he's not convict turf sieve enough. >> a lot of convict turfserveatives are worried. rick perry is on his a-game. he kind of stumbled last time around. a lot of people believe maybe a back issue and he got a little fuzzy. and the scott walker thing his so-called gaffe, come on. >> let me get stephen in on this. it's not just this gaffe, in case people weren't aware of it, i'll explain. the wisconsin governor forced to explain what he meant when he said this -- >> i w
