fred martin. fred, if you'd like to come forward. fred is a long-time resident of district 7, right there in the heart of the district [speaker not understood]. to be quite honest, to be quite frank, mental health is not an issue that rises to the top of a lot of district 7 concerns. i don't hear about mental health issues often at neighborhood meetings, letters, calls. but fred always makes it his top issue. and this is a gentleman who has had a very long successful business career, who has made mental health advocacy really a great part of his life today. and he has done more than just about anybody else to educate me about issues in and around mental health. he's opened my eyes, opened my ears to a lot of issues that prior to coming to the board i had no idea about. and i'm very grateful to fred for doing that. and just within quite frankly the very parochial world of district 7, i give great credit to fred for making this issue far more prevalent in the minds of the residents of district 7, helping everybody understand maybe to g

. >>> cnn newsroom continues right now with fred. hi there, fred. >> hello again. we have a lot straight ahead. including this, i know you talked a lot about it all morning long. more on the passing of an iconic hollywood actor. on camera he was conniving, greedy, maybe even evil. but the real life larry hagman was nothing of the sort. best known as j.r. on the prime time television series "dallas." his former co-stars remember him today as fun, wild, and a memorable star in hollywood. hagman died yesterday of complications from cancer. cnn's colleen mcedwards takes a look at his life and legacy. >> reporter: larry hagman wore many hats in his career. but his best known for the stetson that he wore on "dallas." despite rolls on film and on stage, hagman will always be remembered as the villianous j.r. ewing. >> and you drove cliff to attempt suicide. >> how was i to know he was going to do a dumb thing like that? >> reporter: wn j.r. was shot by an unknown assailant, it was the most famous cliffhangers in tv history, watched by 300 million people from all over the

give me one, fred, come on!. >> i'm n cranksy at all. for a lot of people you can camp so of these deductions. one on the second home, for instance. that is one. you can start with, i have a second home. so i'm putting myself on the line here. melissa: okay. >> less of a tax deduction on the your mortgage for a second home. that is good place to start. >> juan, do you like that? >> you know, yeah, i have no problem with that as an idea but again, what fred i doing i think is avoiding the difficult conversation on the republican side, not only about identifying, got to be more than that. that is not big money. you have to really identify -- >> yeah, it is. >>ig loopholes, deductions, closings. you have to be multiple, fred. >> of course. >> that is takes toward the rates. i know you don't want to touch the rates. >> no. >> at some point you got to say, hey, if the other guy will take the beating i'm going to show i've got some skin in the game too. melissa: juan, you would like to hear about rates going up? loopholes are not enough for yo

i talked to the mayor -- >> fred, i just want to go to -- fred, i'm sorry, i want to go to sara. she's hearing blasts behind her. what are you hearing now and what do you hear about casualties? >> reporter: there have been three distinct blasts. we are seeing the smoke billowing literally just behind us a few hundred yards. we know that there are 19 people who have been killed here -- all right. there is another one of the blasts. i'm going to move out of the way just again to see, because sometimes you can see a real huge, what looks like a flame almost that lights up the night sky and then it subsides. you usually hear these in succession, it's usually not just one. you will get a series. this is maybe the third or fourth in a series of hits that we've heard and again, what happens is you can hear the jets. as fred was saying, you can hear those same jets as they come over. i'm actually looking at where there are it looks like some flames just near to -- closer to the scene but what i can tell you is that you normally hear the sound of the jets and then you hear that sort of bo

host: fred barnes?uest: i agree with that, that republicans are going to work with president obama and will he have to work with them. even ronald regan had the iran contra scandal and bill clinton did have impeachment. so they are really tough and in your administration your best people, your first team you have on your staff and in cabinet positions in your first term, many of them go away in your second term so it's one where democrats and republicans are going to have to come together especially on the fiscal issue. we know what will happen. we will have huge spending cuts in defense and it will go into effect january 1 or the bush tax cuts will expire as of january is so they will have to do one of two things, either have a stopgap measure and let the next congress and president obama work out something over the entire year of 2013, tax reform measure and so on or they are going to have to act in the lame duck session. this is not ducking the issue but knocking it over to the new congress that had

fred, let me start with you. you were the first to write about this specific, the affair today and to mention paulabroad well. what can you tell us? >> well, i can tell you that i have this from multiple, highly reliable sources. you know, she wrote this book about him, which was more of a valentine to him. people, it had been rumored that something was going on between the two of them for some time. i never believed it. people who knew him better than i did never believed it. i've always viewed him as a very straight arrow. >> i had the same impression. a man who walked the walk and talked the talk. and fran, you also know him very well. is this, this specific affair, this really the reason that he is resigning? >> yeah, i've heard nothing to suggest there's any other reason. i think it is in fact related to the allegations of the extramarital affair and look, i think when you look at the letter he wrote, he's taken personal responsibility. he's hold, i think he's holding himself accountable. there is the questi

fred pleitgen is on the phone right now. he is near that area. what's going on, fred? >> reporter: hi, carol. i can't really see that area from my vantage point. it's really unclear what's going on there. we do see there is a lot of activity going on over gaza at this point in time. there's, of course, the drones that are in the air. there was an air strike quite recently on some position in gaza. but there's also some outgoing fire from gaza into israel. in fact, the position i was at just a couple of minutes ago, we had some mortars land near there. we had to take cover. it does seem as though there is quite an intense back and forth going on at this point in time where before today, a little earlier, it seemed to be a little more quiet. but now it seems as though things are picking up. there's a lot of air raid sirens that have been going on in the israeli area around gaza. then, of course, there were rocket impacts in towns as well. it seems to be getting more intense. can't see that fire fight from my vantage point. >> from your vantage point can you see the israe

fred? >> so, paul, is that feeling that the ads have helped the mitt romney campaign kind of put themselves over the top or at least near the top? >> reporter: this state got no attention in the presidential contest until the last week or two. you know what? the obama campaign says that the romney campaign is doing this out of desperation. this is a last-minute bid to try to win pennsylvania because the obama campaign says the romney campaign is not doing well in ohio, in other states like wisconsin and iowa. romney campaign says, no, not at all. we're making this last minute pitch because we think we can broaden the map. but you know, four years ago we saw john mccain and sarah palin come here to pennsylvania the last minute. we have seen other republicans like bob dole in '96 and president obama as well make pitches here in pennsylvania. they were not successful either. fred? i guess we'll find out on november 6th, right? >> just three days away. appreciate it. we'll check back with you t

. >> hockenberry: and fred singer, the veteran scientist at these proceedings. he's a retired physicist once responsible for government weather satellites, who tells people the climate needs no help from worried humans. >> climate, to me, has become a non-issue. it's a phantom issue. there's nothing wrong with climate. it will change no matter what we do. it'll get colder, it'll get warmer. we just have to wait a little. >> hockenberry: singer says he's dedicated to explaining his theories about global warming. what keeps you going? what's your motivation? >> basically i like to see good science being done and protected. i think i'm fighting here for scientific truth. that's important to me. >> hockenberry: do you think the science is being hyped on global warming? >> oh, very definitely, yes. >> hockenberry: armed with that conviction, this team of skilled political messengers and contrarians has certainly changed the game. in just four years, the number of americans who agree global warming is man-made has dropped to about half. it's a message that is inspirin

i want to get quickly to fred flankin in israel. us about the most recent explosion? >> reporter: yeah, christine, we are still trying to get information on what exactly happened in the bus in downtown tel aviv. we know it was on a road that is in central tel aviv. there are casualties and there are at least ten people who were injured. the earliest reports that we are getting, and this is from various israeli media outlets, three people were moderately to more severely wounded and seven people were more lightly injured. and we also know, as you said, that they are being tended to. they are on the scene. however, there appears to be the fear there could be secondary explosions. that someone might have detonated or deposited some other form of explosive in the area. that's certainly something being checked out there by bomb disposal and by eod squads as well. but there are scenes there of people being treated on the sidewalks. people being tended to by ambulances that are on the scene. that is ongoing. of course, the entire area ther

you look at those numbers and it tells you what, fred? at those numbers and it's going to be a very close election. every pundit, pollster, analyst has said that. and i think with these undecided voters, up for grab voters in a close election like this and like 2004, last-minute momentum helps. the president's leadership, hurricane sandy helped a lot, and i think these numbers with the up for grab voters show that as we head into tomorrow the president has a little bit of wind at his back. >> well, but it also depends what is the make yum much of the electorate? a tremendous presentation for us yesterday about this very issue. white voters versus nonwhite voters. the basic numbers from our poll. among white voters mitt romney gets 57%. president obama 38%. that's about five points below where he was in 2008. among nonwhite voters president obama at 74%. mitt romney at 19%. but, bill, what you did, and i'm going to throw this up here, what is the percentage much of the electorate that's white? and we ranged it from 72% to 78%, and you can

. >> go, fred. there you see it. a strike in ash colon. we've got the pictures up as fred and our camera crew get out of the way. it's a sign that another strike is coming. can we listen here? >> reporter: and we have the impacts. we can stay on, we can stay on, we can stay on, colleen. >> we're with you. we're with you. >> reporter: you still there? >> yes, go ahead. >> reporter: colleen, basically what happened is the air sirens went off and we ran to sort of a shelter that we have right here. this is a residential building. we're sort of in the house. we heard one impact. the alarms seem to have died down. we're going to sort of get up and wait. stay down. we're going to stay down actually is that that was our fred pleitgen. tell us how things have changed there. there's a new normal. >> reporter: oh, you're absolutely right. the new normal is that basically people have to live with the threat of rocket attacks the entire day. what they do is stay inside most of the day. it's interesting to see. every time people go outside they have to

fred. >> all right.meantime, hillary clinton has made it very clear that she would likely leave this position at the end of her term. topping the list of those that might be nominated would be s s susan rice. she's been speaking for the first time in response to so much criticism that she has received on how she handled that attack in benghazi, libya. what more can you tell us about what she is saying and how that is resonating, jill? >> i wouldn't say, fredricka, that she really, you know, broke new ground or changed what this administration has been saying, but obama rice did say herself that with a lot of criticism coming from republicans and specifically john mccain has made some comments about her essentially saying that and that she do a maya culpa and retract what she has said or at least set it right. this controversy isn't going away, but let's listen to what ambassador rice did say. i made clear that it was preliminary, and that our investigation would give us the definitive answers. everyone,

fred, who isn't -- >> it's all about ohio? is all about ohio and i have read in the paper today, i think they have been here 83 times, you know, all of them together, 83 times, and that is a record for a presidential election. so, yeah, it really is all about ohio, they want these 18 electoral votes because as you know, it is down to the wire and this state could go any way. it is a statistical dead heat between mitt romney add and president obama. the president is ahead by three points, but that's within the margin of error fred, what about this so called souls to the polls, that's a big push in the african-american churches, that was a big push in florida, is that the case in ohio, does it app apply? >> it's a big push around the country and it was a big factor in 2008, the obama campaign really put all stops out and got a lot of people out to vote on that last sunday before election day. so i went to a church here, the st. john ame church and they were out right after the sermon, fred, they put the people on the church bus

>> fred, i got to tell you, there is a lot of confusion right now. florida's election 2012. here's the latest. we've got real confusion going on in miami-dade. at first they announced they would be open to accept absentee ballots today. then according to multiple reports, including our affiliate and the miami herald, they said that they were not going to do it because they didn't have the resources to pull it off. and then just about five minutes ago, i got a text from the miami-dade elections office, and they say that if you are in line at 5:00 p.m. in miami-dade, you can go ahead and vote, meaning you can file an absentee ballot. so confusion abounds right now. meanwhile, there is also litigation. the florida democratic party has filed a request for a temporary restraining order and an injunction against the florida secretary of state and the three county election supervisors. they want an order saying it's okay to allow absentee voting to continue because the lines in south florida were so incredibly long. we saw pictures of that yesterday. it was supposed to be the last
