. >> gretchen and steve. rick perry is hoping this new economic plan that includes that flat tax proposal will give some gas to his campaign especially among conservatives who are intrigued or interested in the flat tax proposal because they say it would be more simple and more equitable across the board. as you all were just saying, perry who will likely need a good showing next year will officially unveil his economic plan today in columbia, south carolina. as you pointed out, it would allow families to opt into a 20% flat tax rate or stick with the current tax system and still preserve the popular charitable and mortgage deduction. that will give a little competition to herman cain's 999 plan that's gotten so much attention and scrutiny. that would provide a flat 9% income tax rate and adds a 9% sales tax which conservatives are skeptical of. they don't like the idea of adding a federal sales tax on top of an income tax. conservatives also voiced concern that congress would or could raise that 9% sales tax

good morning to you, gentlemen. >> hi, gretchen. >> gretchen: very good to be. president say that to the african-american community, you had a specific thought. what was it? >> first of all, with all due respect to the president, as i said on my show, he would never have said stop grumbling, stop complaining, stop crying to our jewish brothers and sisters about the crisis in the middle east. never said that to our hispanic brothers and sisters about immigration, et cetera. would never have said that to the aarp about medicaid and medicare for seniors. but that language was troubling for me. i've been on record saying that already. but beyond that, let me just suggest that poverty, i appreciate the lead in, but poverty in america is not a black problem. it is an american problem. the new poor in this country, gretchen, are the former middle class. the thing we learned on this tour is that we can't any longer as if we ever could, we can no longer color code poverty. americans of all race, colors and creeds are falling more and more into poverty, 50 million america

come back later. >> gretchen: hi, clayton. it's gretchen.is last thing ostensibly because he stepped down from apple. how much influence obviously did he have on this iphone 4? >> absolutely a lot. i think you'll see a lot of influence from steve jobs from years to come here. this will be tim cook's first appearance as ceo in front of this audience here, in this theater a few hours from now. tim cook has been running this company basically for a number of years. he's the numbers guy. he's the guy who on an airplane flight with a number of other apple employees while they're all asleep, he's up crunching spreadsheets and numbers. he knows everything in the ins and outs of this company. it's the legacy, it's the magic of steve jobs that we'll see here today, this one last thing from steve on this stage this morning. >> steve: you know, a couple months ago, i asked you, because one of my college kids needed a new phone and i said should she wait for the new iphone 5? i know we know very limited things about it, but is it worth the wait? >> abso

gretchen? romney came under fire for saying that he had no position on ohio's collective bargaining law. one day later, he changed his tune. >> i'm sorry if i created confusion in that regard. i fully support governor kasich's i think it's called question two in ohio. i fully support that. on my web site back as early as april, i laid out that i support question 2 and the governor's effort to restrict collective bargaining in ohio. >> that was in virginia. you can see the governor of virginia behind him there, even though he hasn't officially endorsed him yet, mitt romney's critics calling this another flip-flop. joining is the former co-chairman in maryland, is there another flip-flop? >> sometimes you have to buy time and look at this stuff. issues come and go. polls come and go. you never know on a day-to-day basis. >> let's look at the poll. latest fox news poll has herman cain on top now. the surprise there newt gingrich 12% over rick perry at 10%. what does rick perry need to do get ahead

presidential debate and gretchen decided to make her question for the candidates one this new very near and dear to her heart of all things there if you think about it all things that gretchen could actually asked a presidential candidate at a debate she decided to ask them about the war on christmas and how they feel about the war on christmas. i mean forget about immigration poverty unemployment snow gregson it wanted to know about political correctness and the war and christmas and now apparently in her world that's a really important issue of course we also can't forget the fact that fox and friends is really upset about the war started on easter president obama issued a statement for ramadan addressing the muslim world as obama extended a hand of the muslim community gretchen and company could not believe they can easter was overlooked i mean they were absolutely outraged i think we actually have this one so take a look and some people said that they might have an issue with the fact that he didn't issue a proclamation for easter so some people are saying is this an outreach to the

let's bring in our political panel, gretchen and sally. let me start with you, sally. recent successes. do you think the president can -- that can resonate with voters come the election in 2012? >> yes. this isn't about one particular incident, whether it's the war on terror or the economy. this is about leaders who are doing something versus leaders who are getting in the way. i think the american people know that the president inherited a bad situation with our economy that was going to get worse no matter what he did. but they have seen him take action to make the situation better, just like they have seen him take action to deal with our enemies abroad. whereas the republicans who can't beat somebody with nobody have repeated stood in the way of any positive action. >> gretchen, don't you think that it would help americans if the president took more action that really actually had more results like he apparently is having on the war in terror when it comes to the war on the economy. >> exactly. the results aren't there. the president may have inherited a bad econom

so, i think-- >> let me let gretchen crihime in. would we have the same situation in with a republican in the white house and consensus building, the way that washington is working right now. >> it's about personalities and right now the personalities aren't wanting to work together and because we are we're he in an election year and the way the economy is heading. maybe i'm a naive oklahoma girl and if people put the jobs aside and put the american people first. they could work together. what the president did, he should have consulted with congress first before doing it and pulling it out of thin air. it's not something thats' talked about in any of his plans. >> thanks so much, good to see you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> new video coming in now of violence breaking out in syria. you're hearing the blasts right know going on and security forces reportedly pounding the city and sweeping raids one day after activists say they killed 40 people in one of the bloodiest crackdowns in months. rina ninen live from the jerusalem bureau

good morning to you, peter. >> good morning, gretchen.tion very closely this morning and so is the obama administration. analysts expecting that the economy will have created about 60,000 new nonfarm payroll jobs in september. the unemployment rate holding steady at 9.1% from august and in august, as you recall, the economy created zero new jobs, big goose egg. and jobs in the economy are very much on the president's mind. it was the top issue at his press conference yesterday. take a listen. >> people really need help right now. our economy really needs a jolt right now. this is not a game. this is not the time for the usual political gridlock. the problems europe is having today could have a very real effect on our economy at a time when it's already fragile. but this jobs bill can help guard against another downturn if the situation in europe gets any worse. >> and if we get another weak number this morning, gretchen, look for the administration to use that to continue to try to push congress to approve the president's jobs plan. gretc
