charlie: all right. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> charlie: sting is here.singer, song writer and music legend in a career that has spanned over 40 years he's never stopped evolving. once part of the rock band the police he's also achieved great success as a solo performer. a member of the rock and roll hall of fame. he's won 17 grammies. he sayshis simply makes him tired to talk b i'm glad to welcome sting back to this table. how are you. >> i'm very well. >> charlie: what do you know about your sging ass a song writer. >> what do i know about my singing. i think the idea is to create a unique signature, like a fingerprint with your voice so when you sing on the radio whether people like your voice or not or like what you do, they recognize who you are and that's really what the x factor is. you don't sound like other people you sound exactly like yourself. if you do that, you have to have some kind of information message to you, to your history to the way you think, to your education, to your philosophy. that doesn't happen immediately. >> charlie: what el

welcome. >> hi charlie. >> charlie: so what do you think, we'll talk about the specifics of the races, but what do you think the whitehouse and the political operatives there are saying today? >> this is another set back for democrats without question. ey haven't had much good news really throughout the summer. this is not necessarily a referendum on president obama but he was a central figure in the discussion of both of these campaigns. and democrats on capitol hill are increasingly worried that this president is going to be a weigh on their races next year. he's going to hurt them in terms of enthusiasm among democrats. each of the campaigns had individual things going on in terms of local issues and dynamics, but overall it basically boiled down to the democrats wererying to make the argument that republican policies are scary and they should elect the democrat. but the republican argument won the day saying that president obama's policies have failed. so democrats are set back by this. it's me of an internal frustration that they just cannot seem to advance tir argument here that

whol country concerned. >> charlie: about the inflation. >> yes. >> charlie: and how do you believe youcan attack inflation? >> i think we alreadysee some in the future at the moment. the figures inaugust lower than the previous months and also because we have the agriculture harvest this year and also we have international commodity market the prices are going down. that's compared with previous. >> charlie: do you fear a commercial, residential, real estate bubble? >> yes, to some extent. real estate market is different from city to city. see, in the coastline cities the prices growing very fast but in the inland there's slow down a little bit but recently even in the inland area the housing pricing growing very fast. we worry about that so they control the lending through that sector especially to the developer but for ordinary people when they buy their first in housing our bank providing the lending most more than 19% is first time by the housing. >> charlie: it is said by many out side china that it's crucial for china to have the economic growth it does because it ishe bestay to

>> charlie: welcome to our program. we begin the new season with a conversation with leon panetta, the secretary of defense for the united states, about america and its role in e world. >> we will go after al-qaeda so that they never have the opportunity to attack this country again. >> charlie: when you say that do you mean by misles or more. >> i'm notoing to get into particularof the operations but it's pretty clear that we have very successful operations going after al-qaeda and after their leadership in the fat. i have to tell you the pakistanis have given us some cooperation in that evident. they've given us the opportunity to be able to conduct these operations, they've given us the opportunity and work with us to go after targets to go. they just as a matter of fact within the last this hours caught an individual who is someone that we've been after for a long time. >> charlie: leon panetta for the hour, next. >> every story needs a hero we can root for that comes out on top. this isn't just a hollywood story li

welcome. >> thank you, charlie. >> charlie: where are we? what formula are you looking for from all parties? >> the formula we're looking for is one that gives a framewo for the negotiation so that people think it's credible. so for example you start from the idea that the palestinian state will be based on the borders in 1967 but they will be mutually agreed slots which means you have variations on that borders that will be different from 67 but it's all part of the negotiation which starts from the 67 lines. then you deal with border and security first, right so you don't just deal with security, you also deal with borders. you get these two very difficult issue out of the way and you have jerusalems and refugee and a time frame with a sense of urgency and direct them in way to come up with proposals that are comprehensive for peace. so the idea, very simply, i'm not saying we'veot this idea yet in place but the idea is to put that framework reference in the negotiation so the people know it's credle and they're not just sitting around the

for everybody. >> charlie: israelis also look to theollowing. they say that -- made a lot of concessions with are president clinton and yasser arafat and that arafat was not prepared to accept a deal that was offered today. they also look at the may and he said they offered many things that the palestinians wantedst it was not accepted. >> look when they made those offers. barak in 2000 and he lost the election two month after the camp david accords were held and 2008 when helost his position as the prime minister of israel. how can a palestinian leadership agree to anything where a government has fallen. now if netanyahu today were to make the same offers or to stat his dpoarksz with the palestinians where the negotiations were ended, i think you could have a substanti and positive agreement between the palestinians. >> charlie: so unless netanyahu make those kinds of offers and put those kinds of proposals on the tele, then you might have negotiations and not have the statehood at the united nations. >> that's what -- has said. he said we've b

i' be very honest with you, charlie. the palestinian authority was born in a contract with israel order to transfer palestinians from occupation to independence. this prime minister of israel came and he took away from us our legal jurisdiction, economic jurisdiction, secuty jurisdiction and he booked himself as a authority wherehe continues to create fts on t ground (inaudible) policies. so at the end of the day we are with a two-state solution.

montana hey there charlie a let's talk first about the role of congress in the economic crisis i guess it's a two part question what is the role of congress and what should it be. well as far as my opinion goes the role of congress or in the economic collapse that we are now in. are completely culpable i think that they were serving on behalf of against risk that brought us the financial crisis they made sure that there was no bickering among the red and blue team when it came to handing out trillions and trillions of dollars in bailout money and lending money to these banks at zero percent interest for three and a half years now but now that the rubber is meeting the road we have to pay for it we are going to go continue to govern by crisis one crisis after another and as you mention three in the last year and if we don't act now it's going to be the end of the world and we see the results of this right we see s. and p. downgrading us we see the creation of a super congress and we see the handwriting on the road if you just look over at europe and so you could actually going. is comin

this was true in 2008, charlie. the first... i moderated it, it was betwn obama and mccain the perception of those two candidates... obama still wasn't that well known nationally. and mccain was known but they each had... they had kind of their... >> rose: mccain had run before. >> but the expectations for mccain was that he was kind of fidget gee, nervous, got angry and that kind of thing. and the thing about obama w he was cool but nobody really knew that, they hadn't seen him. so what happened in that first debate because i was there as the moderator trying to get them talk to each other, that was new rule, they were allowed to speak to each other and ask each other questions. mccain wouldn't do it. mccain wouldn't even look at obama. >> looked at the audience? >> looked at me or the audience. and obama kept doing what i asd, would look right at mccain, called him john and mccain would look right at me and say "well, senator obama," this and that. and the polls showed that this annoyed people. it gave an impression of this ma

charles payne, adam, charlie, and kristen. charlie, what say you? >> it's pretty disheartening because the unemployment news, as you know, is not getting any better. private sector jobs are nonexistent, i think is the right -- growth is the right way to put it. and you know, businesses take cues from washington. they prepare for the future. remember, the market is forward looking. so are businesses. they say what it's going to be like a year from now. they prepare. what they say by not hiring is it's going to get worse. >> whether you're for or against it, just adds another uncertainty to these guys, doesn't it? >> i mean, the certainty is, and it's pretty clear, that there are two things that matter most to the president. and that's the green environmentalists and unions. no matter what happens, whether you call it economic policy, redistribution of wealth into union pockets, whether it's forcing businesses -- 93% of private sector employees don't belong to unions. you're taking away their rights. you're actually forcing them, 93% of americans to d

you're about to hear from a young man named charlie green. of our summer interns at "nightly news" and as interns go, he was just like all the others. smart, well mannered with a good work ethic. but we later learned he was different in a big way. he was a 9/11 kid. his father, don, had been killed when united airlines flight 93 crashed in shanksville, pennsylvania. so we asked charlie if he wouldn't mind talking about how that staggering loss had changed the way he looks at life. >> my father, don green, was on united flight 93. flying was totally his thing. that's what he did for a living. he was multiaviation industry. his father was a pilot. he learned to fly at 14 before he had his driver's license. it was his passion. he was the one who could have landed that plane. i know in the bottom of my heart if he could have been in that cockpit he would have been and would have landed that plane safely. we've always said the sum of each individual passenger's legacy is nowhere near as great as the influence they had on this country as they board
