governor clinton and dick durbin say that high-speed rail straw'squinn and dick durbin say the high-speed rail brings economic development. public and private funds have served as an economic anchor in this community many argue leading to revitalization. next, it will be joliet's amtrak station undergoing a 42 million-dollar transformation skeptics question the cost effectiveness of high-speed rail which cost billions of dollars to build but senator durbin says naysayers will be left in the dust. for those who think that real service is yesterday and not tomorrow, get on this train. riding the high-speed rail, julian crewsuz, wgn news. >> i just want you to remember and know and understand that what we do for the next 18 days will absolutely make the difference between waking up on november the seventh the day after election day and wondering could i have done more? or, feeling the promise of four more years. >> the first lady pumping supporters north of the border today, meanwhile the president in virginia doing the same thing both battleground states that could swing the election side.

we'll definitely watch. >> this debate between graham and durbin. hope the debate between obama and romney is this good. it was very interesting and very pointed. >> jamie: it's a fiery topic. i'm sure they both have continues that will give a preview or prediction of what we can expect tomorrow night. i'll know you be covering it as well. great to see you, have a great day. >> thanks, jamie. >> jamie: i highly recommend watching this before the debates tomorrow. the illinois senator and the south carolina senator, it's an exclusive. it's airing today at 2 and 6 p.m. >> eric: sounds like the debate before the debate. a new study shows that more americans are winning the battle against high cholesterol. we hope so. coming up, the doctors are here for "sunday house call" to tell us what it takes, how we can do it, and what youe got to do. >> jamie: women and patients out there, did you know the makeup you or your child may be using may contain some dangerous chemicals. if you have concerns, go to fox news.com/sunday house call. you can join our live c

the point i raised with dick durbin last night, on whether there was a shift going on there, i want youto that. >> the position of the administration, which biden said, turning to paul ryan, why won't you at least let us preserve the middle class tax cuts for thos making under $250,000. >> is a million in new strategy now? >> there are several different illustrations. >> is not talking about the change of administration? >> i don't think so. >> i am not great at reading poker faces or the lack thereof. but maybe there is nothing sinister going on, but obviously they are not reading from the same choir book. >> again, i actually think that durbin said it right. joe biden could have simply have been using illustration as part of his debate and didn't necessarily, especially if you are into the parsing of words, there was nothing in what bien said that committed the wite house to a new approach. he was just using an example. this administration still is dedicated to class warfare taxation, it is simply a question of where those higher tax rates kick in, ow fast do we go down this path, dri

that is what lindsay graham and dick durbin are talking about. they are coming under fire for the way it handled the attack on our libyan consulate. we learn chris stevens was clearly worried about the security situation even writing a memo about the issue on the dafz killed. >> also new reports surfaced a drone was dispatched in response to the benghazi attack. republican law americas are searching for answers. lindsay graham wis one who is leading the charge. graham calling this an example of a failed strategy in the white house. >> if you left it up to this administration to inform the people they would think it was spontaneous riots by people. there was no mob there was no riot. i am totally convinced this will go down in history as one of the most major breakdowns of national security in a long time exhibit a of a national security. it han dinner fire once attacked twice. everybody left benghazi but us. we wanted to normalize. it was september 11th. th this council was attacked for over 7 hours there were no land forces available to reinforc

and durbin has the same thing gotten grief from the left. biggest problems we have are social security and medicare. >> let's go to the question that is vexing the romney campaign which is they're proposing dropping rates but they don't make a single proposal about what tax loopholes or deductions they would limit or eliminate. and it seems to me the tax code is filled with those things, even if the rates were not touched, something has to be done about some of the crazy loopholes in there. where would you suggest congress go to tighten up loopholes in deductions? >> the problem is if you close somebody's loopholes, the taxes are going to go up. i guess i'm sympathetic as to why he wouldn't identify what he wants to do. again, it's an area that i think needs to be done. so again, i've identified some republican proposals i would support. we have to narrow all of the loopholes, particularly the big ones. mortgage, interest deduction, charitable deduction, state and local taxes and health care deductions. those are the big ones. i'm to believe

the toyota motor assembly plant in the city of durbin stopped its production lines last week. workers at the company's car seat factory are demanding a wage hike. toyota supplies the seats. its officials are in talks with the local labor union but say they aren't sure when output can resume. this is not the first time it was forced to close. it was shuttered for several days earlier this month when its own workers staged a strike. labor issues in emerging economies continue to pose a challenge to japanese makers with overseas operations. >>> bank of japan officials are struggling with whether to ease credit further amid the global economic slowdown. the question will be high on their agenda at next tuesday's policy meeting. central bank officials are suspecting existing programs aren't enough to achieve their goal of 1% inflation by march 2015. the target is to tackle deflation and achieve stable growth. in a branch managers meeting on monday officials confirmed domestic economic activity is on the decline. they agree the slowdown in china and other economies are weighing down

senator dick durbin held it up in the senate. >> she drank two 4-ounce drinks and it took her life. >reporter: is it true for caffeine to be the true killer. the death certificate says caffeine toxicity. monster is way up near the top of the list. more than a starbucks latte. more than four cokes. and the energy drinks are built to chug, they even have large openings in the can. >> we've seen most of the health risks associated with the consumption of energy drinks and not necessarily coffee. and one of the reasons for that could be that coffee is consumed while it's hot and more slowly. >> reporter: but here's the thing. the adult lethal level of caffeine generally recognized by doctors is 5,000 to 10,000 milligrams and it would take 31 to 62 cans of the 16-ounce monster drank one after another to reach that point. still physicians warn all that changes with people who respect healthy adults such a as childr with underlying conditions like high blood pressure and heart trouble as anais had. as for monster it says they've sold 8 million energy drinks and is unaware of any father facil

we'll have our own debate and i think it could get pretty fierce on sunday between dick durbin and lindsey graham on foreign policy, especially libya and the continuing confusion about what happened before and after the attack and then these polls because gallup now has romney leading obama by six points while in some of the key swing states obama has a lead. so we'll sit down with the granddaddy of all the polls, gallup, and try to make sense of these numbers. >> chris wallace, fox news sunday airing 9 a.m. here sunday morning on fox 5. have a great weekend, chris. see you then. >> want to know what you think about the race for the white house. use the hashtag fox 5 d.c. you decide to tweet your thoughts. we'll use some of those tweets for our new show debuting as election day approaches called fox 5 news edge you decide 2012. we'll focus on local and national candidates and issues starting monday night at 6:30 here on fox 5. >>> coming your way next find out why the nfl slapped the skins with a $20,000 fine. >> plus the wizards gearing up for their season opener without their star. so ho

so we were very happy about what today's game especially because sparta targets the biggest durbin in russia winning this game is always very important for us as as a team and for the supporters too so hopefully we can keep doing a good job and trying to to find the first places. the defending champions the needs won their first match all four as they ran out to nil winners out across the dark constantine's around up opens halfway through the second period and the zoomed in sealed the final score just ten minutes later the st petersburg side are now fourth in the russian premier league's endings. elsewhere in cazan former champions that will be lost to amcor one nil nil it cannot all be scored the only goal of the game in just the third minute with the wind a perm side are up to ninth in the current standings. and it means i am in spanish league i was a classical tie and once again or messi versus ronaldo to be more precise two of the world's most distinguished footballers of presence seems to have had their solo ports in the clash as both argentina and portuguese produced a brace to

is profoundly against america's interests in a difficult region and then senate majority whip dick durbin echoed these sentiments saying this on fox so-called news. this idea of chairman ice but he's going to don't put names in public of libyans who are risking their lives to support america and keep us safe in an effort to get a political toehold in the selection is unconscionable it is an acceptable i said defended his release saying one of the individuals he exposed was already known to be working with the united states he had nothing to say however about the several other assets he exposed in libya who had cooperated with us and who are now in danger even wiki leaks went to great lengths to redact sensitive names when they released their trove of state department cables last year but i say in his sterile rush to burn the obama administration before the election chose to not even take those commonsense measures he chose to put at risk the lives of innocent libyans and americans and embassy because embarrassing the white house politically and now is his top priority no matter what the c

. >> the buying price $165 million and several years of political hardball senator dick durbin callsound. virginia congressman frank wolf is raising some questions rick pearson broke down the loud opposition to the sale. >> he has claimed that this was still part of an administration that wants to close guantanamo bay and move detainees to u.s. soil even though that's prohibited by law. the president was able to bypass any disapproval leaving the house appropriations committee which will chair but with presidential elections just weeks away the timing of the federal government's maximum-security prison becomes a talker. the presidential elections aside in illinois this sale seems to have bipartisan support tonight senator mark kirk send out this statement: >> that again with senator mark kirk. a full transfer of inmates could come before the end of the year. vice president joe biden a foot in mouth. and, however local cop helped the europeans win the ryder cup. [ female announcer ] he could be your soul mate. but first you've got to get him to say hello. new crest 3d white arctic fre

not the case anymore well i mean i think in illinois it is still a popular thing to do indeed dick durbin the senator from illinois who was a proponent of that idea bringing the guantanamo inmates there has turned out to be an even bigger proponent of simply placing the prison into federal government hands it's actually a pretty good deal for the federal government to buy that fully created and built prison as you said for one hundred sixty five million dollars attorney general holder said in a letter a few weeks ago that he thought it would cost four hundred million dollars to build a prison like this from scratch and plus they get the keys to it basically right away they don't have to sit there and try to devise how to build it and then go about the actual construction. so i know that recently attorney general holder wrote a letter to republican congressman frank wolf the chairman of the subcommittee on commerce justice science and related in agencies on appropriations chairman well has been very vocal in his opposition to this purchase and attorney general holder says you know they sho

senator dick durbin is with us from the spin room.trong supporter of the democratic side. thanks for being with us tonight. appreciate your time. >> good to be with you. >> one of the policy matters that was bridged tonight by vice president biden that has not been focused on by the obama/biden campaign thus far was the privatization of social security. this is something that george w. bush pursued in his second term. paul ryan had been a proponent of that at that time. he'd since dropped it from his plans by the time mitt romney was getting around to endorsing paul ryan's plans. joe biden went there tonight. should we see that as the intention of the democratic side to go there, holding the republicans accountable for paul ryan's old idea and george w. bush's old idea to privatize social security? >> i think it was one of joe biden's best moments. there's no question where paul ryan stood. even before the stock market crash, he was arguing we should go to privatizing social security. when people lost 30, 40% or more of their savings,

fox news sunday talks with senator graham and dick durbin when we return. >> and gwen is back with a look at the weather and work week preview. evyo ne! i'm talking hundreds here... and furthermore.. newcaster: breaking news. the gecko is demanding free pudding. and political parties that are actual parties! with cake! and presents! ah, that was good. too bad nobody could hear me. geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance.

five surrogates, tonight it has 22 listed as coming out after the debates including senator dick durbin showing up for the first time, some other governors including deval patrick of massachusetts, senator chuck schumer of new york is going to be here to help spin for the obama campaign. the romney campaign, about steady with surrogates, 17 up to 19 tonight. and the feeling here is that the last time around the obama folks, the obama spinners were outgunned. and needed to beef up their ranks tonight. neil? neil: would you say outgunned, peter, were they outgunned or especially after the first debate performance, they didn't want the beating up? >> reporter: yes. neil: or was it just that that was coincidental? >> reporter: first of all, they took their time getting out here because i think as we all saw what was unfolding during the debate, the obama team did have to kind of scramble, and its surrogates in denver took their time, the five official campaign people, david axlerod, jim messina, stephanie

senator dirk durbin says senator deserves credit for getting a deal done. >> he represented the state in the united states senate a man who hasn't forgotten his home state of illinois. >> documents filed in conjunction with the transfer of the prison give latitude to the facility. it is now 25 after the hour. coming up mitt romney and president obama set to face off tonight in the first presidential debate. but what does mitt romney need to do to convince americans he is the man for the job? >> there has to be a compelling reason for change. governor romney has the burden of proof. >> that was mitt prom knromney'r debate coach. coming up more on what he thinks is key for romney to win the debate. >> big weather hiding in a crtrh can? we will tell you why one school wants to monitor what your kids throw away. big brother hiding in your trash can not little brother. >> o.j. simpson was acquitted of the murders of nicole brown simpson and ronald goldman. >> good morning to you. welcome to "fox & friends first". i am heather nauert. >> i am ainsley earhardt. it is 5:307b9 east coast. the

exclusive interviews with dick durbin of the foreign relation committee and lindsay graham. your listing for when it air necessary your home town. it is call would a pivotal piece of evidence in a kill are of a child . jessica ridgeway vanished this month and on the way to school a week later police found her remains from a park. no suspects yet. but police are focusing on a small woodep cross that turned up in the course of the investigation. we have more. >>> hi, there, harriet, it is a significant step forward. evidence was so thin on the ground. the cross could be pivotal in revealing the identity of the killer whampt can they found out about it >>> this miniature keltic cross is awe break through clue in uncovering the identity of jessica's killer temperature is it one inch tall. >>> you will see the holes and it doesn't mean it was worn on a necklace but could be. >>> on the front line three lines etched vertically and these are distinct markings. >>> there is a great number of designs and patterns and we didn't find one that had a replication of these unecharacteristi

joining us issen durbin. >> are you guys happy?o see the wars gleeted successfully. i saw the campaign commercial that was showed a couple segments beforehand where the president is touting ending the war just like dick durbin did. we want to defeat the enemy. that's the litmus test. as we truly set the taliban back march enough so the afghan army can take over? have we truly created stable environment in iraq so our interests are not threatened? that's what we want to know. just the talking point of ending wars doesn't mean the enemy has been defeated. so you hear a lot of rhetoric and very few results. the record is thin. when you dig below the surface you see more and more unrest is coming out and libya is a perfect example of that. al-qaeda is not gone. they might be on the run. they are on the run to our consulates and embassies pause they smell weakness. >> rate. aim going and you this statement. when the president said i ended the war in iraq responsibly, for a guy who served in iraq and afghanistan, what do you say? >> i sa

it was lindsay graham and dick durbin. it was very interesting. two issues.sue, what did they know beforehand? that's what matters because if they had protected them more or gotten them out of benghazi, they wouldn't have gotten killed. with lindsay graham with a very strong view. he says there is no way the president couldn't have known -- not the details of the security? benghazi, but the fact it was a dangerous place and the fact that most of the western -- other western countries had pulled out of benghazi. and he said, why didn't they do more? interestingly, dick durbin is relying on the investigation and saying, let's wait and find out and not rush to judgment. skeptics would say, that will come out two weeks after the election. >> shannon: there are a number of investigations underway. as you said, a lot of people think the timeline is going to -- fly right past what we did know, but tomorrow night, there will probably be a lot of discussion of this and other issues as well. how tough do you think romney needs to be on the president or do you think tha

>> maria, we've got senator dick durbin, a former colleague of barack obama in the senate.et me ask about the president's performance tonight. he was much more aggressive than mitt romney. in some ways, he looked more like the challenger in the race than what he was trying to make up ground. do you think he struck the right tone in doing that? >> he learned a valuable lesson in denver, standing there being presidential doesn't work. there are two candidates on stage. they're going to basically try to highlight the differences. so in the second debate again tonight, the president really brought the debate to governor romney. and i think at the end of the night, count how many times governor romney said well i agree with that part of the president's policy, or something i said earlier in the campaign is no longer operative. so i think at the end of the night, the president looked strong and decisive. and governor romney did not look like he was in a comfort element there on the stage. >> now romney's aides said before all they wanted to do was no mistakes and look presidentia

dick durbin announced he will visit bain port tomorrow morning. he's the first federal official to visit. mitt romney's campaign says he's no longer responsible for bain's management decisions. however, "the new york times" reports it's possible for romney to profit from the outsourcing because he still owns $8 million worth of bain funds. the story is important because i think it paints a clear picture of who and what mitt romney's economy is all about and what he really cares about. what's happening in freeport, illinois, is about greed. it's about turning a profit at the expense of hard working americans and families who are suffering because of this decision. mitt romney has done this his entire life and now it's catching up to him. no matter how hard he tries to spin the facts, this is who he really is. what's happening to the workers in illinois is the economic model mitt romney believes in. "the ed show" will be in freeport, illinois, doing our show this friday night to bring you more details about what's happening to these workers and fami
