i agree with carl. i think before any consideration of a troop increase, we should make sure that we accelerate and use every possible resource to get the afghan national army up, to get the police number up, and to help them with training and equipment. i think carl levin made a very important statement today in terms of giving us the kind of policy we need to go forward. >> briefly, senator, just to be clear, if they weren't able to meet those goals, if they weren't able to get those numbers to what you would be comfortable, would that mean that we wouldn't send more troops? >> well, we have to assess that as we go. and i think sometimes the debate in the last couple of weeks has been about troop levels kind of premature in this sense. we don't have a proposal yet from the administration for more troop increase. i know there's speculation. neither do we have it from general mcchrystal. so in terms of what's before the american people, i don't think we're there yet. but i think carl levin made a great

good morning to you, carl. >> hi, alex. good to see you again. >> you, too.president had to say? >> well, number one, the president's in sort of a win-lose situation here. people had been complaining that he needed to get out more, talk more and be more of an advocate for his health care plan. now that he's announcing that he's going on all of the major cable networks and broadcast networks tomorrow, now people are arguing, is he overexposed? i mean, he can't win for losing. i think he has to get out there. and frankly, alex, as long as he doesn't interfere with the giants/cowboys game tomorrow night, he can stay on the air all day long, because he needs to be out there for health care reform because that's his greatest strength. his two greatest strengths are his intellectual grav as it and his oratorical skills. so, he's got to use them and he has not been using the oratorical skills as effectively as he needs to if he's going to get a meaningful health care bill passed. >> but you -- >> so, i applaud him for going out there. >> carl, the white house had tr

>> i don't think so, carl.hink the whole story of the september october timeframe inequities being a bit of a volatile time is not a well kept secret. a lot of protection, a lot of premium, long volatility trades put on by account managers looking to protect profits. there is sort of a thesis out there circulating if we just range trade for the next couple of weeks, third or fourth week of october, some of those long volatility, long put premium trades will have to be sold, which would only help energize equity markets to higher levels. earnings as you know, there's been a full focus on top line revenue growth of the secret there may be the other way. that is profit margin expansion. a lot of capital investment has been shelved. inventories have been paired back. the marginal worker has been laid off. profit margins in a corporation expanding. the story in stocks looks pretty good, even if it's a range trade for three weeks. >> the earnings story could be an echo of q2. >> right. we're a little concerned about

carl levin reports that the u.s. focused more on training afghan forces to defend their own country, rather than building up their own presence there. much -- but john mccain disagrees, saying that we risk repeating mistakes made in iraq if we do not add more troops to afghanistan. major, any word on which with the president is leaning on this? >> no, no word. he wants to hear from the general david petraeus and others, as well as robert gates. he wants to hear from all of them before making a decision. the decision is weeks and weeks away. on intervening event that will be very important is that next week the president wills and to -- will spend time in new york city dealing with nato allies to see if they are willing to add forces to the grounds to help train the afghan police and army. if they are not willing to, the president has a difficult decision to make about adding forces, which number 65,000 right now. shepard: there are much more than troops in the works here. >> that is right. there is a debate going on

also, carl is back with our "cnn student news." we'll talk to him and see what students have to say and send your comments. you can get all kinds of ways of reaching us, weekended@cnn.com, and we have our facebook and twitter pages. we'll be sharing a lot of your comments this morning. >>> first we need to get to some big news overnight. you may have missed one of the president's advisers have stepped down. his name is van jones. you may have heard the name a lot over the past few days, certainly last week. he stepped down for a number of controversial reasons, namely he signed the petition in 2004 that suggested the government let the 9/11 attacks happen. jones was the president's adviser on green jobs and an administration source says jones did not read that petition carefully. jones also drew some fire for controversial comment about republicans he made back in february. listen for the bleep. >> how were the republicans able to push things through when they had less than 60 senators but somehow we can't? >> well, the answer to t

>> well, we do need a consumer revival, carl.t this experience in the past six to 12 months is a downdraft in terms of consumer spending and increases savings. we've gone from savings rate of 0% as high as 6% some would think that the savings rate is headed to 10 which means consumption will probably lag a long, long time. that speaks directly to the top line bob doll has just spoken to in terms of mergers and quichlgts the top line is very difficult to increase to corporate america if you can't increase consumption. consumption 70% of the economy or was, declining, get the consumer back and depends upon employment, means unless we can get unemployment down we're going to have problems. >> bob, people are beginning to get their hopes up after cash for clunkers dynamic is playing itself out. there's some report september auto sales could actually set a new record on the low, which would be worse than february. are we just going to see the choppiness in the data the next six to 12 months. >> i'm afraid so. that's what a sluggish re

bret: carl cameron, live on capitol hill. thanks.ight years after the september 11 attacks, ground zero rises from the ashes, but there are some considerable challenges to overcome. stay tuned. just outside the spot where the plane hit the pentagon is this, the pentagon memorial. roughly two acres, an each one of these benches represents one of the 184 people who died in the attack. the benches that face away from the pentagon represent one of the 59 people aboard american airlines flight 77. the benches that face the pentagon represent one of the 125 people who died in the building. the names are on the front of each bench. for survivors of this attack who were in the building at the time, this anniversary brings up horrible memories. >> the sound, the people that you knew and worked with that was dying or had died. the smell that i can never get rid of, so a lot of things that i recall from that day is actually it's like a tattoo that air in your home can be two to five times more polluted than the air outside. smoke, germs, viruse

carl cameron works capitol hill for us. carl, the committee defeated the public option.o what's left in this bill to keep health care costs in line? that was one of the stated goals. >> right. it's the non-profit insurance cooperative that could compete against private insurance companies and folks argue would ultimately help bring down the costs. but liberals say if you really want to bring down costs, the only way to do it is public option and they argue that thress a villainous demeanor among insurance companies. this is jay rockefeller of west virginia. >> they're getting away with banditry and they revel in it. they incent their people to find reasons to cut people off. millions. >> five democrats voted against rockefeller's bill, three voted against charles schumer's of new york. democrats are trying to smoke out those votes and send a signal to the white house that they expect the president to do more of the heavy lifting and get involved. shepard: so where moderate democrats are at odds, at the very best, with liberal democrats. >> and such has been the case from

and let me finish, carl.nk you saw that big infusion in the stimulus in money spoke these clean technologies and these green jobs, into health care, education, $100 billion for education. that's the basis of why even the most pessimistic forecasters say we've either created or stabilized a million jobs in the economy. some people say it's up to a couple million or as many as 3 million jobs. i think he's trying to build for long-term success. i think if he had said all i'm going to worry about is the banking crisis and i'm not going to worry about what's doing on on main street, i think that would have probably been both a bad economic program, and i think it would have kind of slowed down as well. >> john is going to be with us for the rest of the program. we have much more to talk about. but we've got other things coming up on the agenda, too. >> just looking, a few other comments the company is making. given a lot of forecasts on total sales, the stock, though, at this point doesn't appear to be -- i think

what a ride that was. >>> top that, carl, where were you? disney. >> i was home. >> no place like home. >> that's right. >> carl delmont is here from freedmont mortgage. he comes neverry monday to answer your questions. we're talking about something that scares me a little. fha stream liendz mortgages. what is that? >> streamline just means streamlined the process. no appraisal. they used to not require credit scores, now they are, typically about 620 to 640. then they are looking to make sure you are current on the mortgage. the beauty of the streamline, say someone watching now has 5.5% interest rate. with the streamline you can lower the interest rate, just contact your lender, give them the case number, they turn around and lower your interest rate. it's a easier qualifying process. you don't have to worry about appraisal fees or anything else and closing costs are less. >> a couple of things about this that i noticed -- four of these came to the same person. a, that has to be annoying if you're getting a lot of mail from the same sort o

i do agree with carl that just putting troops out there is not going to guarantee success. general mcchrystal has been very clear about that in his report. but he does say that it is going to require more troops to train afghans. we've got some difficult pockets of the taliban in afghanistan that have got to be uprooted much like we did in ramadi and other provinces in iraq. and we can... we're going to have to do that ultimately to be successful militarily. but just sending more troops is not going to do it. but if general mcchrystal says he's got to have more troops with the new strategy in place, then i think we're going to have to send more troops to him. >> brown: let me ask senator levin, how much is hamid karzai and the election a complicating factor in the decision as to the american commitment here? how do you make the link between the political situation there and the military situation? >> well, it obviously complicates it. one of the reasons why the president wants to take some additional time is to hear not just from general mcchrystal about the impact of that

we're having incredible success with our big carl at carl's jr.nd our big hardee at hardee's, which we advertise as bigger, better, and less expensive than mcdonald's big mac. so it's meeting with a really positive reception. >> how many are you selling and how many rebates have you given out? because that's one of your big promos, if you're not satisfied you're going to give people their money back. >> well, i haven't heard of any rebates yet. so there may be one or two out there. but nothing's gotten back to me on it yet. but we're selling -- we're selling well over 100 a day in our stores, and we even hit a record one day of about 160. it's going very well. >> mr. pusder, it's joe. i heard that you opened your first carl's jr. in shanghai, china. congratulations. at the beginning of the month. what's the international plan? what's the stamp going to be on the chinese market? how long is it going to take to get you there? >> well, our plan is -- we've got about 333 international restaurants right now, which is about 10% of our outstanding units.

carl cameron is on capitol hill. this is the all-important gang of six, but he is facing opposition from not just the right, but the left as well. >> there is dissent within the group and they have managed to hold together pretty well today. republicans and democrats alike are worried about undercutting programs for seniors. democrats and republicans have issues with the idea that private insurance would be mandatory and that there might be fines for non-compliance. as for the alternative to the government run option, they are looking at co-ops. they would be nonprofit, but outside of the gang of six, particularly among liberal democrats, there is very strong opposition to those. >> this goes back to the 1930's. co-ops have a very checkered history. they are not good. >> for months the gang of six has held together, but today there were clearly frayed nerves. shepard: the gang says that they want to get this done by the end of the month. is that possible, even? >> max baucus is the chairman. charles grassley has mana

and carl from ohio state university. and borrow from borrow trading.e have an audience asking some very prominent questions. one of the questions they came up with that they asked is lapsed price. what is it going to do? i am going to go with you first, carl. and also can you tell me what land prices? so how do we stand in ohio? >> the primary driver of cash and land drivers with the agricultural return. when happened in the last couple of years it decreased. it is going to be hard for land prices to go up, for land to go up. one would think they would be under pressure. >> so you say it's going to stay about even. you didn't say it is going to go down? >> i think there will be pressure to the downside in part because of decreased cash flow on farmers. but i don't think at this point you would see any large drop but just a minor move down. >> okay. let me move new closer then to some of these suburban areas. it seems like there used to be a lot of pressure for these guys to come out and build additions of housing. has that happened in the housing? >> i

bret: carl, thanks. while healthcare dominates the president's time at home, the prospect of iran going nuclear is a top foreign policy focus. white house correspondent wendell goler reports that the crosstalk is already beginning ahead of this week's meeting at the negotiating table. >> two days of before talks with the u.s., iran's nuclear program chief says the secret uranium enrichment plant president obama revealed last week won't be on the agenda. >> we will not discuss our secrets. >> you may not, but we will. >> robert gibbs says it violated u.n. security council resolutions. >> we will demand that iaea inspectors have unfettered access to the facility, to personnel, to documents surrounding the facility. >> satellite photos taken in january showed heavy steel reinforcement at the mouths of tunnels now covered by a football field sized building on the left and excavation filled in on the right. iran says the u.n. will be allowed in to inspect the plant. officials say work was done secretly and th

shepard: carl cameron watching it all on capitol hill, thanks a lot. a group of doctors and nurses in one state are now protesting against a brand new mandate from their state that says that every healthcare worker must get vaccinated for both seasonal flu and the h1n1 fleu. our next guest is a nurse who organized the rally you see in a box there, and she said she does not want the government telling her what to put in her body. shepard: we're tracking h1n1 at fox news, and state health-care workers in new york have a couple of months to get the h1n1 vaccine and the seasonal flu vaccine, or they will be out of a job. it is an emergency regulation put into place that has prompted a protest at the state capitol. the protests happened earlier today. here is the controversy -- new york is at the moment the only state to require this vaccine to protect patients from catching the flu from their healthcare providers. protesters say they just should not be forced to get the shot, not by the government. some claim the vaccine has not been fully tested and that

bret: carl cameron live on capitol hill. thanks. for some thoughts on tonight's speech and why this issue has been such a struggle for this president, joining me now, senior political ans list brit hume. hell ale low brit. >> the u.s. dollar is low and there is talk at the u.n. of ending the dollar's role as the principal unit of trade. the unemployment rate climbs to 9.7% in the past week. the federal deficit is expected to reach $1.6 trillion this year, more than triple last year's postwar record. the situation in afghanistan is deteriorating, and the president faces a critical decision amid growing opposition to the idea of sending more american forces. iran is openly defying the u.n. and the u.s. on its nuclear program and seeking common grounds with the likes of venezuela and hugo chavez. small wonder tonight that the president will address a joint session of congress, but his subject will not be any of the matters above. instead, he will be talking about healthcare reform, an issue that has ranked well behind the economy and d
