it scares suburban voters. it scares swing voters. and one thing republicans want more than anything this election is a candidate who can beat barack obama in the fall. also texas is a big state, you know, they're allowed to have big oil and big business and big colorful language. but if perry develops a pattern of this, it again is something that's going to hurt him in the fall. and that will hurt him in the primary. >> donna, do you think the white house cease perry as the most potent republican candidate right now?

alex castellanos. alex, if you get on the global warming, a good issue with the republican base, but look at this gallup poll. do you believe increasing earth's temperature is due to human activities? 352% say yes. natural changes 43%. so a majority of americans say humans are contributing to global warming. governor perry clearly questions and disputes that. if you look at breakdown bipartisanship it gets fascinating. global warming seriousness. is it exaggerated? 22% of democrats say. so 43% of end participants and 67% of republicans. so what governor perry is saying has clear appeal to republicans. but is he risking his potential support among independents and even conservative democrats by saying that? >> in all these issues you have to say what he believes. that's what he believes. it's even worse if you're inauthentic. but that's the concern about rick perry, one is that he appeal to the base but in a general election he could become george mcgovern. or even barry goldwater. candidates with intense support but unable to reach across the middle. and you ack sent that when you shoot from the lip as some texans are known to do. does he have mad cowboy disease? >> and eric, he talked today -- he joked, he mocked the president going to el paso and saying the border is as safe as it has been in recent memory. obviously he's a border state governor. obviously he has a unique perspective being from texas. but if you just look at the numbers, el paso, texas on the border is one of the cities in america with the lowest rates of violent crime. others are on the border, too, san diego and phoenix. el paso had 12 murders in 2009. if you go just across the border, the town across the border had 2,000. there is a town across the border. border patrol agents today, 20,000700 -- 20,700. the number of those people coming across the border is also down. so can the governor's credibility be questioned when he says things that numbers don't seem to support? >> oh, i think it depends on which numbers you look at on that, john. yes, the violence in el paso is down. look in the rural parts of texas, arizona and new mexico, that's where the violence is increased. likewise you have the drug cartels fighting their bloody war south of the border. right on the border you've got this operation fast and furious nonsense with atf down there. on the global warming issue, i see the gallup poll but there are other polls out there as well that show that a lot of the public doesn't know. this global warming is not going to be an issue in 2012. it's going to be jobs. yes, rick perry, i think alexis right, he's got to be careful what he says. he can get painted into a box. he can get in trouble. i think it's early. i think the big issue's going to be jobs when it comes to next year. but he doesn't want to get painted into a corner. >> and david, it is early. it's his first week on the trail. a lot of candidates say things they regret or take back or mod fight. barack obama yesterday took a pass on criticizing governor perry i bet in part because he said a lot of things he regretted especially as a young candidate early in 2007 and into 2008. but particularly drawing scorn from a lot of republicans and democrats is the idea that ben bernanke would be treasonous or treacherous behavior e if he ke putting money into the economy. rick santorum said this. >> he might say lots of things about misguided the policies. but you don't up the ante to those types of rhetoric. it's out of place. hopefully governor perry will step back and realize we're not in texas anymore. >> what is he learning, david, this first week on the trail with governor perry? >> he's playing in the big leagues. he's won three big elections down in texas. he said things people questioned but he sort of brushed them off an went on. now he's playing in the big leagues and he'll get a lot more scrutiny. i'm still laughing over the mad cowboy disease from alex. but i tell you this, the border statement today i didn't think much of. global warming, he didn't come out and call it a hoax at least. but i thought what he said about bernanke was a real gaffe. almost treasonous. we treat him ugly in texas. that kind of swagger is going to scare the hell out of a lot of voters. he's done well in the early polls. but i'm hearing in new york, i had people come up on the street and say i'm scared about rick perry and the kind of comments he makes. he'll play much better obviously in the south than a place like new york anyway. but there are some people out there now who are listening and say, oh, wow, i didn't realize he meant that. >> and to david's point, john, i think he's exactly right. it's different. it's big league pitching in the presidential campaign. it turns out, for example, there were two governors who signed a letter asking ben bernanke of all people to get moving with that $700 billion t.a.r.p. program. one of those governors was rick p

alex barnes from politico. alex, you have "the huffington post" and others reporting on this that congresswoman bachmann or at least 16 separate occasions tried to receive federal funding, including the stimulus, that as i pointed out that she has fought against and disagrees with greatly. what can you tell us about what's going on here? >> well, tamron, this is one of these stories that it's almost predictable that you have your small government conservative candidate, relative political newcomer getting hit with this kind of research file. michele bachmann obviously has voted no on virtually every expansion of government under the obama administration, "the huffington post" saying she asked for government funds, remains to be seen whether this is the kind of thing republican primary voters will be concerned about. she was a tax collector for the irs and that didn't really seem to put a dent in her popularity, just the strength of her message. >> this could be different. three separate federal agencies saying that 16 separate times she petitions for federal government for direct financial help or aid. i mean, that doesn't seem, alex she can sweep away, may be one of the tougher questions that she needs to answer here. >> well, i think you're absol e absolutely right. it's a question that she will have to answer. one thing can you say about michele bachmann she's been very, very capable so far in this campaign as deflecting the kind of stories that would be much more damaging to a more conventional candidate. the stories about her sort of chronic intense migraines, apparently that made her miss votes in the house of representatives. that didn't slow her down at all, so if this is a story that slows that momentum, it will be the first one. >> as i mentioned obviously her sights and those of the other candidates in iowa. in wisconsin, democrats were not able to get the seats they needed there. what message overall do you believe was sent? >> well, republicans are certainly very, very happy today that if democrats, if labor unions had been able to take control of that wisconsin state senate, it would have been seen a

alex -- >> hang on. >> ali and alex, hang on -- >> -- pay the bill. >> do you agree that it was an invention by connecting the debt ceiling to the deficit. >> no. let him answer, ali. >> no, no. this was manufactured. >> this is something we can agree on. this is money. >> yep. >> the federal money can't first spend any of this it doesn't take from someone else. we are $14 trillion in the hole. the democrats say the way to grow the economy is to keep doing that. keep stimulating the economy by taking this money, sending it to washington -- let me we are going send it to washington and send it back to us. >> we are on the same side, jobs, everybody has to have a job. not everybody has to have a house and 401 k, but everybody has to have a job. i would love for you to create how this creates a job in america. conservatives have been saying the reason companies don't hire is uncertainty about taxes, uncertainty about health care. now i'm hearing it was uncertainty about the debt ceiling. companies will use any excuse -- >> no, no, no. >> i want to bring donna in. >> guys, thank you. thank you. don, we are not going to find any consensus on how we got here. alexsagree over who spent this money. where we need to find consensus over the next 24 hours is on this framework. democrats must feel comfortable, especially with the republicans in the house would like to see democratic votes on the table. they must feel comfortable that this framework will protect they, what they laid out. democrats wanted to avoid default but wanted a balanced, bipartisan approach. republicans have ignored that and they put forward their ideas. >> okay. >> if this deal continues think ms. pelosi will have a tough job but may have to come up with democratic votes to get it over the finish line. we'll see what happens. >> before you jump in, alex, i want to bring in wolf. >> very quickly, donna, will the congressional black caucus and the progressive caucus -- and together they are well over a hundred members, a hundred democrats in the house of representatives. will they be with the president of the united states and vote in favor of the deal? >> you know, the black cau

alex wagner and jonathan capehart. alex, are these voter id law ace false solution to a problem that really doesn't exist? >> they are absolutely a false solution, rev. there are 20 million americans that do not have driver licenses in the u.s. of that 20 million a disproportionate share are minority, poor, elderly. this hits them in a way that disenfranchises a whole section. the thing never mentioned in this, indian is one of the states with more stringent voter id laws. as part of their case for voter id law, tle cited 250 cases of voter fraud. further examination of those 250 cases shows not one of them would have been prevented bay photo id provision. so the notion that this is -- >> this graph, you talk about how it is an impet meant on people, you have 11% of americans don't have voter id. 18% of elderly, 25% of african-americans, 15% of the poor. this is the brennan center for justice, jonathan, that documented the percentages of people that don't have voter id. these people would be taken out of the voter roles. and not have the ability to exercise a basic freedom that was fought for in this country. >> right. the franchise as president clinton called it in the clip that you showed, you know, the wall street journal in that editorial, they talk about massive voter fraud. but there are no numbers to back it up. now, if you know, one person tries to get over on the voting system on election day, that's one thing. but if there is massive voter fraud in all 6 these states, clearly you would expect there would be you know, numbers upon numbers of cases being filed. and in the cases that they do talk about it, they don't talk about the resolution of any of those cases. >> let me give you some numbers. jonathan, clearly i don't usually try to disagre you, but i have a number for you. look at kansas. we have a number in kansas of the amount of voter fraud that's been brought forward. 221 reports of fraud, 10 million votes cast. >> that gets -- rev, that gets to the point i'm trying to make pz. >> that's 0.00002%. >> that's the point i'm trying it make. you are showing 221 reports of fraud. but what that number doesn't tell me is how many of those reports of fraud were proven to be true. >> 0.0002. that's how many. >> right. so go ahead, alex>> i was saying, when we talk about voter fraud, the likelihood that someone is going to the poll and try to impersonate someone else is almost negligible. we are talking about voter fraud, it tends to be absentee ballot manipulation and multiple voting. people trying to register who aren't -- >> there is strategy, as i said in my opening of the segment, voter suppression. look at what fox news does the day after an election. they get on and they start screaming this, if you keep screaming something enough, people start believing that it is a big problem. look at this montage of fox news and what they did after an election and start screaming voter fraud, voter fraud. and new demands for recounting, the morning after allegations of voter fraud became the litany that they use. >> new demands for recount of allegations of voter fraud. >> expect the fraud. expect intimidation. >> new concerns today about voter fraud just aahead of the mid terms. >> i mean, there is -- this is where it com

alex. hi, alex. >> caller: hey, good morning, how are you doing, man? . >> host: good. >> caller: i believe the media hasn't been fair with the president. i mean, when you buy a new house and the house is a wreck, of course, it's going to take time to build a house and put a house in order. i believe the president is doing whatever he can. as a latino the only subject that actually kills me that i don't see the president doing anything about the immigration reform but everything else i believe the media hasn't been honest and fair with the president. thank you for let me talking on your show. >> host: cathy is in michigan. hi, cathy. >> caller: oh, good morning, steve. thanks, c-span and everybody that works there. i have several points. i live in a small community. we have a town probably 20 miles from here. it's called boine city. they're going to be building a factory that produces surgical instruments. they're based, i think, out of sue saint marie, michigan but there's also some very negatives. i had my wages slashed, a summer job i had. i worked i

alex castellanos and david gergen. alex, i want to start with you in the room. if you get on global warming it's a huge issue and big issue with the republican base. but look at the gallup poll, do you think the increase in earth temperature is due to human activities, 52% say, yes, natural changes 43%. a majority of americans say humans is contributing to global warming. governor perry clearly questions and disputes that. if you look at it broken down by partisanship it gets fascinating. it isn't exaggerated, 22% of democrats say so, 43% of independents and 67% of republicans so what governor perry is saying has clear appeal to republicans but is he risking his potential support among independents and even conservative democrats by saying that. >> on all the issues you have to say what you believe. it's what he believes. it's only worse if you're inauthentic, but, yes, that's the concern about rick perry. one of them is that he appeals to the base but that in a general election he could become george mcgovern or even barry goldwater, candidates with intense support but unable to reach across the middle. and you accent that when you shoot from the lip as some texans are known to do, you know, does he have mad cowboy disease. >> and, he talked today, he joked, he mocked the president going to el paso and saying the border is as safe as it's been in recent memory. obviously he's a border state governor. obviously he has a unique perspective being from texas, but if uf just look at the numbers, if you look at the numbers, el paso, texas, on the border is one of the cities in america with the lowest rate of violent crime. others are on the border, too, san diego and phoenix. el paso had 12 murders in 2009. if you go across the border, the town across the border had 2,000. more than double the size of border patrol agents than in 2004. 1,200 national guardsmen across the border and if you look at the study and more attribute it to the economy than the obama administration but the number coming across the border is also down. can the governor's credibility be questioned when he says things that the numbers don't seem to support? >> i think it depends on which numbers you look at, yes, the violence in el paso is down, but in rural new mexico and texas, the violence is up. they are not coming across in el paso. and you had the drug cartels fighting the bloody border right on the border and on the border you have the fast and the furious nonsense with the atn. on the global warming issue, i see the gallup poll, but there are other polls that show a lot of the public doesn't know. this global warming is not going to be an issue in 2012. it will be jobs. yes, rick perry, i think alex is right, he has to be careful what he says. he can get painted into a box. he can get in trouble. i think it's early. i think the big issue is jobs when it comes to -- when it comes to next year, but he doesn't want to get painted into a corner. >> david, it is early. it's his first week on the trail and a lot of candidates say things they take back or modify, and president obama criticized governor perry probably because he said a lot of things as a young candidate 2007 and into 2008, but particularly drawing scorn from a lot of republicans and democrats is the idea that ben bernanke would be treasonous or treacherous behavior if he kept putting money into the economy. last night i had one of the lesser-known republican candidates rick san for rey san the program and he took a shot. >> you don't up the ante on the rhetoric and it's out of place and hopefully governor perry will step back and realize we're not in texas anymore. >> what is he learning, david, this first week on the tr

alex for everybody down here is wall street going to be open tomorrow? that decision has not quite been made alex. the person who probably will make that is mary shapiro, head of the fcc in washington. there are conference calls going on with the big brokerage firms. interact being with the s.e.c. whether or not they should pop it's more comply indicated than just saying can we detonate few guys at the new york stock exchange and can we open the system. you got to get everybody who is in the business working. goldman sachs is in evacuation zone right now. will they open is the big question. >> okay. bob pisani giving us a comprehensive wrap. thank you from ground zero. well joining me right now, we have new jersey governor chris christie who has weathered through this storm. governor, a very good morning. let's talk about how good it is in new jersey. where do sthangsd? -- where do things stand? >> the storm is almost passing out of new jersey. the northern half of our state is covered now still by the storm. but we're about half a million people who have lost power and that number is growing a little bit. about 15,000 people in 45 different shelters. 250 roads are subject to closure. but, we're able to move a million people off the jersey shore in 24 hours without incident and i think that that helped us present significant loss of life along the shore line. so, so far we're cautiously optimistic about the way things are at the shore. we're going in to make an assessment. what we're concerned about is inland flooding and that flooding could be record flooding in new jersey because of all the rain and the fact that we've had one of the wettest augusts on record in new jersey before hurricane irene. >> i know it's hard with this storm drain systems and they are being put to full capacity use. what part of new jersey do you worry about most? is it along the coast or along the rivers which make yours such a beautiful state? >> alex, on the flooding side i think now we're much more concerned about the inland flooding than the coastal flooding. i think that we've moved past -- we may have some additional at high tide later today some additional issues with coastal flooding. but the initial reports i'm getting is that things on the coast are better than we hoped they would be or thought they would be. so that's good. the inland flooding, our rivers are swelling over their banks now and we're already experiencing flooding in the somerset county area and up north in the passaic river as well. the delaware river while it will reach major flood stage will be something that we should be able to manage. some need for some evacuation on the delaware river. apartment least our projections say while at a major flood stage hopefully with some limited evacuations we can manage. >> what about folks who have extensive damage, property damage and the like to their homes. what do they do now? they got to get -- can they appeal to

alex vega thought he heard salvation. >> alex vega ( translated ): i'd say the probe went by no more than two meters from our shelter. >> simon: you heard the probe go down two meters from where you were. >> vega ( translated ): yes, it went by real close. >> simon: do you remember what you felt when you realized that the probe was not going to come where you were? >> vega ( translated ): yes, i lost hope. i was desperate. >> simon: and so were the families who pitched tents outside the mine. they called it camp hope. and some never lost it, even though, for 16 days, there was no sign of life. what the families didn't know, and what has not been reported until now, is just how close their men came to doing themselves in. >> zamora ( translated ): i said to a friend, "well, if we're going to continue suffering, it would be better for all of us to go to the shelter, start an engine and, with the carbon monoxide, just let ourselves go." >> simon: were you the only one who suggested that, or were there other miners who felt the same way? >> zamora ( translated ): i think all of us. >> simon: all of you were thinking about committing suicide? >> zamora ( translated ): at that moment, it wasn't really committing suicide. it was to not continue suffering. we were going to die anyway. >> simon: we wanted to get some idea of what it must have been like down there. so we asked writer jonathan franklin, who obtained a backstage pass to the rescue operation, to take us down a nearby mine. it had been run by the same company. >> jonathan franklin: there's been quite a few mini cave-ins around here. >> simon: we had to scramble over rocks and rubble in pitch- black tunnels to get where we wanted to go-- to the part of the mine which most resembled the diabolical world where the men were entombed half a mile underground. now, we all knew that the miners spent 69 days underground. we knew it. but being down here is knowing it-- knowing it, really. i mean, the idea of 69 days here is terrifying. >> franklin: we're only one quarter of the depth that they were. one quarter. you'd have to go down another 500 meters. where they were, it was wet and humid. >> simon: even under these conditions, the men maintained remarkable discipline. they voted on everything. they stuck to a daily schedule-- a general meeting, followed by a prayer service. then, what they called dinner. franklin, who gained unprecedented access to the miners, has written a book called "33 men." he says the men always divided their food evenly, even when they were down to one teaspoon of tuna every 48 hours. but by day 16, he says, the miners were all starving, and realized they'd have to eat the first man who died. >> franklin: they told me that they had a pot and a saw ready. >> simon: do you think that the potential candidates knew who they were? >> franklin: one of the candidates told me that the guys had been joking, "hey, if you die in your sleep, you know, you're... you're going to be breakfast, lunch and dinner." so he... those last few nights, he said, he couldn't sleep. he was too afraid that if he died, that his companions would end up eating him. >> simon: mario sepulveda, who emerged as the leader of the group early on, says he thought it was only a matter of time. how long do you think it would have been before you had to do it? >> mario sepulveda ( translated ): i would say five or ten days. i don't know. but i was going to get out of there, no matter what. food or no food, i was going to get out of there. how? i had to think about which miner was going to collapse first, and then i started thinking about how i was going to eat him. i promise you, i wasn't embarrassed, i wasn't scared. >> simon: but they were saved by the drill. on day 17, it came punching through the ceiling. all thoughts of cannibalism and suicide disappeared into the dust. when the drill finally broke through, do you remember what you were feeling? >> zamora ( translated ): i was so weak, i couldn't even stand, and then all of a sudden, i found myself jumping for joy. it was like celebrating new year's eve or having a newborn child. >> simon: rescuers on the surface heard pounding on the drill. when they pulled it up, they saw paint on it, red paint. then, they found a note attached to the bit. it said, "we are fine in the refuge. the 33." they sent down a camera, and the world peered into the dark eyes of a stunned survivor. then, there they were-- 33 haunted men trying to appear cheerful, to wave, to smile for their families. they just couldn't pull it off. some had lost 50 pounds. mario sepulveda played the host in what became a reality show-- "survivor: underground." he took the viewers around what had become their home-- the casino, the clinic, the post office. and that's where conflicts with the rescuers began. psychologists were censoring and tampering with the letters the miners wrote and received. they wanted to keep the messages light and cheerful. the 33 were outraged. but tension turned into joy on day 69, the day of liberation. the fittest men went up first. mario sepulveda was the second to reach the top. he seemed happy to be there. victor zamora, the roof repairman, made a movie of it all-- the rescuer's landing, getting suited up for the ride. then, liftoff and 20 minutes in a magic capsule. the docking and a love scene. hollywood couldn't have done better. ( cheers and applause ) the 33 were treated to a victory tour. highlights? meetings with america's top celebrities; galas, where they just kept on receiving awards; an appearance on the david letterman show. miner edison peÑa didn't have the slightest idea who letterman was, but he was having a wonderful time. back in copiapoÓ, though, peÑa was hospitalized for anxiety and depression. and he was not alone. mario sepulveda, that most exuberant of men, is on heavy medication. the oldest miner, mario gomez, finds it impossible to sleep. and alexa? he can't explain why he's doing it, but he's building a wall around his house. >> vega ( translated ): whenever i hear a noise, i get scared and look all around me. my heart beats faster. i can't go into small spaces. i'm taking five or six pills a day now. if i don't take them, i can't sleep, and i wouldn't even be able to sit with you. >> simon: all but one of the 33 men, doctors say, have suffered severe psychological problems since the accident. and the miners complain they're not getting the quality medical care and benefits they need and were promised. 19 of them have already lost their disability payments. sebastian piÑera is chile's president. a couple of the miners told me that they feel like they're soldiers, they're heroes during the war. and when the war is over, they're forgotten. >> president sebastian piñera: well, that's part of life. that's part of human nature. they were heroes. they will always be heroes, >> simon: you know, if any of these miners get really ill,

alex burns, who wrote that article. alex, explain to all of us, are these lawyers -- they're so afraid of perry's tort reform that they'll start campaigning against him before he's even the actual gop nominee? >> well, some of them will, thomas. there's one houston trial lawyer named steve mosston. he and his wife donated 9 -- almost $9 million to democrats in texas last cycle. they're getting ready form a series of pac. s including a super pac to take on perry at the presidential level. even the folks not getting involved root now, wealthy trial lawyers across the country in places like california, new york, but also the deep south, say that they are prepared to really open their checkbooks to take on this guy. >> perry has really shaken up the gop field with his announcement, throwing his hat in the ring this past week. jon huntsman pinging, though, a fight with him. first this war of words over global warming between the two. and then this on sunday. take a listen. >> i'm not sure that the average voter out there is going to hear that treasonous remark and say that sounds like a presidential candidate. that sounds like someone who is serious on the issues. >> all right. so is he drawing more attention to himself by picking this fight with perry, and is it the right time to do that? >> you know, he certainly is drawing more attention to himself. i think what jon huntsman has clearly accomplished in the last couple of days is he has sort of earned himself a place back in the 2012 conversation after really being written off. but i think the big question here is, you know, does defending the federal reserve, attacking sort of creationism attacking creationism and skepticism and evolution, staking out a position in favor of taking on global warming, are there actually republican voters who want a candidate like that? i'm not sure that there are. >> we'll continue to watch as it unfolds before us. we have a long way to go. alex, thanks. >>> nbc is teaming up with politico to host the next republican debate on september 7th. brian williams will moderate the debate from the regan library. hey, the 9sds 25 grams of protein. what do we have? all four of us, together? 24. he's low fat, too, and has 5 grams of sugars. i'll believe it when i--- [ both ] oooooh... what's shakin'?

i want to talk first though with alex and donna about sarah palin. so, alex a crowd wherever she goes. and even bigger crowds than the people who have declared. what's going on? >> sarah palin is almost like a chairman emeritus of the tea party. she is tremendously powerful. there are other ways to be involved in american politics than to be a candidate. i think sarah palin loves her country. i respect her a fwraet degreat . i think she knows she can't beat barack obama. she has too much baggage and she is doing her job, inspires, mobilizes, gets the base out. >> is she looking for attention or does she really as you say care that much about the tea party and that message? >> i think she cares that much about her country. i think she's genuinely concerned that we're going over the edge of a cliff and that's why i think she resonates with so many voters. i think that's why she still draws such large crowds. i think it's authentic. >> donald, let me ask you about obviously, you know, you are going to the democrats are going to go after republicans as being out

alex gonzalez in the jail infirma infirmary. >> i got hit with a tray. >> after reviewing footage, jail staff learned how brutal the fight was. >> what we see here is mr. alex gonzalez has just received his food tray and he's ready to sit down and have dinner. and what we also see is this is detainee darrel couch. one of the interesting things with mr. couch, the routine has been to grab a cup of juice along with the food tray. he doesn't grab any juice because his intention is not to sit down to a meal. touches to the tray, rammed it right into his face, right in the socket. and was immediately punching him with everything he could get, several times slams to the ground. one time had him in a reverse head lock and drove his head into the floor. >> as soon as he sees the entry of the team, he's moving to break up that fight. there they do, and they remove the combatants, separate them fairly quickly. >> gonzalez who is awaiting trial on an armed assault charge to which he's pled not guilty was immediately taken to the infirmary for treatment to his right eye and head. >> did you get any good swings? >> i don't know. tried. i was hurt. he got me good with the tray. >> while the attack on gonzalez was severe, it was prompted by a seemingly minor matter. >> that fight actually occurred because alex gonzalez owed darrel couch money for chess losses. apparently they were paying chess, alex lost, owed money for the losses, refused to pay, started a fight. >> the jail's medical staff is determined that gonzalez' injuries are serious enough he should receive additional treatment at a nearby hospital. he will be handcuffed and escorted by sheriff deputies to the emergency room. >> this is what happens. i didn't do it, so you've got to expect it to happen. >> gonzalez recovered from his injuries, and his attacker was given 17 days in segregation for starting the fight. finding themselves on the wrong end of such a brutal attack is usually the biggest fear of inmates who have just arrived in jail for the first time. >> there are some inmates who come here that they've never been locked up before and they come here, and it is a scary place. and it's those individuals that you tend to be more concerned about because they're sort of lost and they are so young. >> such is the case for 19-ye

alex crawford with sky news, alex traveling with the rebels as they moved into tripoli. >> the head of the convoy hag been going on, they don't want to take anything too for granted so they have to edge it along. most of the time -- >> [inaudible] >> and they seem to be waiting, very much a feeling so far in tripoli that things have gone very, very well for the rebels, and well, they feel like they've liberated the city. they are pouring out of their homes, suddenly, it was like well, we are welcomed. we weren't sure. remember, they kept watching state television, that's what they got into their homes, day after day, state television, telling us how it was going to be a blood bath here. >> [inaudible comments] >> they seem to be rallying the troops again. it's the scene -- we're very, very close to the center, and geographically, it doesn't seem to make much difference where they are in tripoli. we've driven through the entire half of the capitol and instead of qaddafi forces and checkpoints, it's been hundreds of civilians coming out, celebrating. jon: that's the incredibly courageous alex crawford from sky news, or sister network. now our chief correspondent james rosen joins us live, from the pentagon with the latest. we didn't hear so much about libya for so long. bring us up to speed. nato has seemed to ahave achieved or helped the rebels achieve a stunning victory here. >> that's right, nato airplanes have flown 20,000 missions over the past five months and that includes the 46 that they flew yesterday, close to 40 percent of nato's air missions, about 7500 runs, have been strike sortes, although not necessarily the dropping of bombs. yesterday's strikes included 18 indirect hits in tripoli proper, including the destruction or disabilityment of three cold and control facilities, one military sight, nine surface to air launcher, two radar installations, a tank and other targets. pentagon sources have confirmed to fox news that increased although i'd -- allied cooperation with the rebels, surveillance and reconnaissance proved key to the advance on the capitol yester

alex wallace for the answer. good morning. >> good morning, alex. we're going to watch showers and storms although the severe threat isn't as high. we have storms flaring up, particularly in the eastern half of the country. getting closer to the northeast. a scattering of showers around the bottom area as you head southbound along interstate 95. things are quiet now. just off to the west, more showers head in that general direction. we'll be in and out of it throughout the day. same for us here throughout the ohio valley. storms around nashville. big storms toward the charleston area. heavy rainfall as well. also tracking closer to the great lakes. milwaukee socked in with heavy rain all the way down to chicago at this hour. south of all of this, we have to contend with the heat. heat advisories from the plains states back to the southeast as well. areas shaded in darker brown, that's where we have excessive heat warnings at this time. very hot conditions. heat index values. feeling like 110 into the one-teens. brutal stuff. we'll keep the numbers high. in the north things aren't bad. certainly tolerable with temperatures in the southern plains and the upper midwest. we keep it toasty in texas. >> it cannot end soon enough. still ahead, one man's hang up at work. stick around. see why his walk on the wild side left him hanging on for dear life. >>> also ahead, losing on the links and at the bank. tiger woods suffered another blow to his ego. >>> and high end shoppers are back to buying for luxury. why the sudden urge to splurge? you're watching msnbc sunday. ♪ money, money, money ♪ ♪ we just wanna make the world dance ♪ ♪ forget about the price tag [ female announcer ] the counter. in most homes, it gets all the action. bring it -- with bounty. in this lab demo, one sheet of bounty leaves this surface as clean as 2 sheets of the bargain brand. why use more when you can use less? bounty. the one-sheet clean picker-upper. i was told to begin my aspirin regimen. i just didn't listen until i almost lost my life. my doctor's again ordered me to take aspirin. and i do.

>> when you look at the way president obama operates, he's a reasonable man. he assumes that everybody else is reasonable and that you can reason your way through these kinds of crises. the problem is that the position that eric cantor took was that they were willing to risk the default of the nation's credit. the president was not willing to risk that default. in the account that you mentioned it says when democrats met with the president, i believe in may of this year, he basically said to them, i can't look you in the eye and say that i'm not going to blink because i'm not willing to risk the credit of the country. this is a unique situation. i don't know quite how we go forward. it reminds me -- it's called the crazy man theory. when nixon was in the white house and negotiating with the north vietnamese. he told his national security adviser let them think i'm crazy, that i might go nuclear. i think we know this president is not going to go nuclear. in a way that's a disadvantage in his dealing with the folks on capitol hill. >> short of using the crazy man philosophy here do you see something the president could have done to handle this more effectively? >> i think there were a couple of moments along the way or maybe at least one when the gang of six came out in the senate. he should have really just gotten out front and said, i fully embrace this. he should have brought the six of them to the white house, three republicans. and really showcased their support. so that was at a point when he was negotiating still with speaker boehner. maybe by putting the spotlight on those six and the possibility of achievement he may have been able to shame the house republicans into backing off a little bit. i think you could probably find one or two other moments along the way. if he had demonstrated more visible and powerful upfront leadership instead of appearing to be -- maybe that would have failed too. i don't think we know. >> hindsight is 20/20. >> exactly. >> this is a unique situation. >> yeah. >> let's listen to michelle bach man speaking in iowa yesterday. >> we are seeing all the liberals in washington, d.c. blaming the tea party movement for what happened with the credit rating agency. how ignorant do you think we are? it was the tea party movement that stands for we are taxed enough already, don't spend more money that be you bring in. >> on the daily beast this week you wrote nancy pelosi wants to make sure people know the tea party hijacked the debate. talk about polarized sides. who do you think will win the argument over the role the tea party played in the debt ceiling debate? >> if you look at the polls over the next week, tea party approval is at 18%. the country is rather agast at their tactics. it looks like they were in the minority of the minority bullying the president and turning a housekeeping detail into a crisis. i think standard and poor's lowering the credit rating was a political judgment. i think they pointed fingers at the dysfunction of capitol hill. the dysfunction of capitol hill happened primarily because you had a group of people who didn't want to negotiate and were willing to take the country over the cliff. i think the tea party loses politically. they have outsized leverage within the republican party and in washington. it's really a disconnect, i think. if you held the 2010 elections over again today, i don't think the tea party would come out the big winner. >> interesting. >> but we can't rerun elections unfortunately. >> what about how imper ty pep it for the president to make progress on jobs and how can he go about doing that? >> well, he has a number of proposals on capitol hill that have been languishing. you know, the infrastructure bank, trade deals, extend the payroll tax holiday. they are all worthy ideas. they are being blocked on capitol hill. he has to make it clear who's doing the blocking. but there are a lot of smart people in the white house. they have to come up with some sort of a big idea that can capture the people's imagination that will really convince americans that he's fighting for them, that he's got some idea of what to do. i think right now people are looking at this president. they like him. they don't really blame him for what's going on, but they are not sure he has a path forward. i think this is a critical point. not only for the country but also if he wants to be re-elected. >> eleanor, thank you. >> we should mention this week's issue of newsweek features michele bachmann. in the wake of the credit downgrade what can we expect tomorrow when wall street returns to business? >>> and up next, he's losing like never before from the golf course and from his wallet. another sponsor tells tiger woods, it's over. all i could do was worry ! specialists, lots of doctors, lots of advice... and my hands were full. i couldn't sort through it all. with unitedhealthcare, it's different. we have access to great specialists, and our pediatrician gets all the information. everyone works as a team. and i only need to talk to one person about her care. we're more than 78,000 people looking out for 70 million americans. that's health in numbers. unitedhealthcare. let's design a vacation on a bumake it work.edia. see what anandra did?

>> he's lost his aaa rating. the outlook is negative for the year. he's not putting well. he's hitting the ball okay. he's rusty. he's had time off. this is a course where he won seven times. you have to say negative for the rest of the way. >> is it the mental attitude? he used to have a focus that was undie lieutena d undiluted. has he lost that? have the distractions been overwhelming? william the golf, most of the time you stand around doing nothing. it's a lot about keeping focus. that's been a struggle for him. you see it especially in the short game and on the putting. >> we talked about tag heuer leaving him. how much do you think it affects his standing in the golf community. has he really fallen from grace? >> the endorsements he lost, he lost the ones where he was to be a perfect person, a paragon of virtue. the ones that are left are ones where his brand is winning. that's the ones he'll struggle to hang onto. what does nike do? what does the video game do? the winning brand is the one that's in trouble now. >> he's a guy who got so much success at such a young age. he's still young in the golf world. do you think he can come back? >> i think he will. he's 35 years old. >> right. >> he's struggling with injuries. the knee thing is serious. he's had four operations. one of the problems now is he wants to practice the new swing but he can't because if he practices he hurts the knee. then he sits around, thinks about the money he's lost. he's in a bad place. if the knee heals he has talent. it would be surprising to me if he doesn't win. he won't be tiger woods like ten years ago. >> fans love him still? >> they are split. half still love him and half like you saw when rory mcilroy won. they were embracing him. but half of it was against tiger. like he embrace it is fans. >> okay. from golf magazine, mike walker. thanks for chatting. >> thanks, alexo china. a guy makes a sport out of walking tightropes. mike, don't leave. you have to watch this. 300 feet in the air yesterday bravely trying to ta verse a 49-foot steel wire. he falls because of the winds. he's 300 feet in the air. of course the tether probably saved him from going splat but how brave was he really?

alex wallace has the details for us. hi, alex. >> how's it going, thomas? and you know what the big story is? well, our tropical cyclone sitting here in the northeastern caribbean, tropical storm irene, which could have an impact on the u.s. later on next week. look, here it is working its way through the northeastern caribbean. sustained winds right now 50 miles per hour and moving to the west right around 21 miles per hour. a closer view on it. there is puerto rico, and you can see some of the very outer bands of the system starting to move on in, and we're seeing a few showers starting to move on in to puerto rico at this time. although the heaviest of the rain continues to remain just off toward the east, but eventually, some of the heavier rain and gustier winds will be getting into puerto rico. as we move through time, what's going to happen with irene? well, here's some of the forecasts and computer models here. all these different lines indicating different computer models, the way they think irene's going to be heading. and notice here, they're pretty tightly packed together all the way until they work their way up toward the east coast of florida. so, pretty good confidence here when you see these computer models coming together like that, that they are in alignment. so, confidence that we will be watching this thing making its way closer to the u.s., again, by the end of the week. so, the official projected path of irene. early monday, it could be getting pretty close to hurricane strength, continuing to work its way through cuba. and then by the end of the week, we're talking friday now, could be looking at a category 1 hurricane getting into florida. but still plenty of time to watch this system here as we work our way through the next several days. now's the time to just start thinking about what you will do if irene threatens. thomas? >> all righty, alex. thank you so much. >>> so, the white house is shifting its illegal immigration policy, and this hot-button issue is causing quite a big stir. we'll tell you what's behind the move. >>> and an ordinary looking garage getting the nod for being part of, get this, presidential history. of the jeep grand cherokee has a best-in-class driving range of over 500 miles per tank. so you can catch morning tee time in monterey and the afternoon meeting in los angeles, all without running out of gas. just make sure you don't run out of gas. ♪ let's design a vacation on a bumake it work.edia. see what anandra did? booking her flight and hotel at the same time a serious money-saving maneuver. book it! major wow factor! where you book matters. expedia. that i put on my children's plate. that's why we use all-white meat, breading that is whole grain with omega-3 and no preservatives. it is my goal to make the highest quality, best-tasting nugget on the market. i want consumers to go, "dang, that's a g
