jenna, jon? jenna: harris, thank you very much. to be very clear with our viewers, we have two major items confirmed right now when it comes to this school shooting, and that's about it. we know that there's a school shooting, and we know that the good gunman is dead. as far as the fatalities and injuries, we have zero details on that confirmed. we hope to hear directly from the state and local police in, hopefully, around ten minutes, so we want to get those news items confirmed to you, but we do not want to rush anything at this time. it's such a sensitive story. a shooting at an elementary school, k-4. nearly 700 students there. we'll keep you posted as we hear more. jon: well, "happening now" to one of the big political stories coming out of washington, it didn't take long for the blame game to start. this after ambassador susan rice withdrew her name from consideration to become secretary of state. nbc's white house correspondent chuck todd was quick to blame what he called conservative media. listen. >> there were legitimate

jenna: hi, everybody, i'm jenna lee. we have new concerns about north korea heading toward a new nuclear test after defiantly launching a rocket into orbit as we've been reporting to you here. north korean state television reporting, this is the video of the launch at the command center in that country. this rocket is similar to one that could carry an automatic warhead as far as california. while it appears to be orbiting the earth normally we're getting the word the rocket may not be functioning all that well. general fir griffin from the pentagon. what else are we learning about this launch? >> reporter: there is confusion how successful the rocket launch was. u.s. officials confirmed to fox news while initial indications suggest that the launch was, worked in terms of going through the three-phases and putting the satellite into orbit, there are indications that the north koreans may not have full control over the satellite and while it remains in orbit, it is quote tumbling. it is not feared at this time by u.s. fir

jenna: i'm jenna lee. when we talk about the american captive, we have a picture of the doctor whose live was saved. he is dylan joseph, a native colorado. he was in afghanistan for humanitarian work when i was kidnapped by the taliban in a province east of kabul. national security correspondent jennifer griffin is live at pentagon with more. jen, do we have any details on the american who gave his life to save this doctor? >> reporter: they're waiting to contact the family so the military does not release the identity of the seal killed in that rescue attempt. we know he was a member of "seal team 6". not necessarily a member of the same group that carried out the usama bin laden raid. there are about 200 members of "seal team 6". this man, as you said, gave his life for his fellow american. here is a statement that was read by the spokesman for isaf today. >> it has been decided to start the operations since the assessment there was imminent danger of injury or death to the individual. >> reporter: dr. d

jenna?enna: cull it a -- call it a gut check, but democrats probably feel differently about this, mike. what's their take? [laughter] >> reporter: well, that's right. they don't like these two bills that they felt like were thrown together at the last minute. one, plan b, of course, and the other one would avoid the sequester, those automatic cuts and also cut spending. so they feel like this has all been kind of thrown together. here is a leading democrat on that front. >> it'll be a totally closed process. you send it back over to the senate, and then you leave town. you all leave town and say, you know, throw your hands up and say it's in the hands of the senate. what an irresponsible way to legislate. >> reporter: we've heard bipartisan complaints that they feel like the system is broken, but it is the system that we have, and the fiscal cliff is out there just less than two weeks away. majority leader cantor says that the house republicans are not going to just pass this and leave town,

jenna: wow! couple was taken to the hospital as a precaution but incredibly both are expected to be okay. jon: wow! right now a political battle raging on capitol hill where lawmakers have less than a month to reach a deal to avert the fiscal cliff. both sides seem to be digging in for a fight. the white house saying it will not agree to a deal without raising taxes on the wealthiest americans. the gop says they want to see changes made to medicare, medicaid and social security. here is republican senator kelly ayotte of new hampshire. >> i was disappointed by the president's proposal. i think it is essentially a rerun of his budget proposal. i mean the revenue proposals are $1.6 trillion in revenue and tax increases. it is a massive tax increase but also, also not significant and meaningsful entitlement reforms. jon: a piece today in the "wall street journal" says more is at stake than just the fiscal cliff. quote, democratic lawmakers and party strategists say the success of his second term cou

jenna: we'll see. what role has treasury secretary timothy geithner, we just heard from him there, what role has he played in awful all o all of this. >> he's been the public spokesman and delivered the president's plan to capitol hill, which they said was not serious. you had mitch mcconnell try to bring up the geithner-obama plan for a vote. check this out. >> this the president's proposal was made in good faith our friends should be eager to vote for it, so i'm surprised the majority leader just declined the chance for them to support it with their votes. so, i guess we're left to conclude that it couldn't even pass by a bare majority of votes and that they'd rather take the country off the cliff than actually workout a good-faith agreement that reflects tough choices on both sides. >> reporter: so there you had senator mcconnell trying to demonstrate that the president's plan didn't even have enough support from his own party. this morning on the floor you had the majority leader harry reid and sen

jenna: i'm jenna lee. today in washington. korea doesn't call it a rocket, they say it's a satellite that they sent into orbit. north korea says it's, well this is part of its main plan overall, it's part of pursuing what they are as a country. some suggest, though, here at home that this is part of developing a nuclear armed missile, whether it's for them or for others. the white house calling it a highly provocative act, roughly 30,000 american troops are stationed along the toda the zone. james rosen joins us now. we said a highly provocative act. any other response from the administration. >> reporter: the obama administration came into hower with only limited approaches for north korea and hasn't managed over the last four years to develop any truly creative new ones. the launch occurred just before 8:00pm eastern time last night, the analysts say the test of this long-range model was largely successful and helped the dictatorship cross an important threshold of being able to pair a nuclear war hold with a intercontinenta

jenna: bye. jon: about two hours from now we're going to be taking you live to the roosevelt room in the white house of the president obama is going to be stepping to the microphones. we expect he will officially nominate massachusetts senator john kerry to become secretary of state. we just got the word, the official announcement to come one 30 p.m. eastern time. a little less than two hours from now. john kerry to be the nominee as secretary of state replacing hillary clinton. we'll have that for you live. ♪ if loving you is wrong ♪ i don't wanna be right [ record scratch ] what?! it's not bad for you. it just tastes that way.

jenna. jenna: so, if the iranians do indeed have this unmanned aerial vehicle, what type of information can they get from it? >> reporter: it's a low-cost, low tech drone. basically it's a camera that can transmit pictures via radio waves. it is possible the iranians can get information about what the drone was trying to look at based on its location. that's about it. it's not as nearly sophisticated as the cia drone that went down in iran hr-s year. yo last year. you may remember that video, it had stealth technology and it was kau captured almost intact. the u.s. asked for that drone back and they released pictures of iranian sty inch 'tises studying it. this scan eagle is much less sophisticated. and u.s. officials say all of its unmanned aerial drones in that region are quote, fully accounted for. jenna: thank you. jon: suddenly immigration is a hot topic in the republican party. some proimmigratio proeupl proimmigration reform conservatives are launching a campaign to get them to take u

jenna? jenna: peter, thank you. we're just getting a breaking news report as well out of connecticut, specifically out of newtown. some local stations are investigating this. there is apparently a lockdown at one of the elementary schools there. no students inside. want to be very clear about that. but apparently this morning at headow meadow elementary school, police decided to close it as a precautionary measure. it was supposed to open with all the other schools, we don't know why potentially this school has closed down. again, no students inside the school, police are investigating x we're trying to get more information on that. certainly, emotions high in the area, and precautionary measures will be taken as we heard directly from the state officials yesterday. so we'll keep you posted as we hear more. jon: the mass shooting in connecticut sparking a national debate and possibly a shift in the politics of gun control. some lawmakers including outspoken gun rights advocates are willing to consider, they say, new

jenna: a good reminder. let's get back to michigan real quick because this is one of our top stories of the day. you're looking inside the capitol where union activists are taking over the state. we ask governor rick snyder what he feels about the right to work progress being made at the state capitol. rick: they are calling it the freedom to work law. the governor is excited about it because it gives workers the choice, reading from his statement, to choose whether or not they want to join a union. they won't be forced to pay union dues if they don't want to. they don't have to pay dues, they pay them voluntarily. they have the freedom to do that as well. he points to a lot of progress he says has been made in the state of michigan over the last couple years. jenna: of course that is the argument by republicans. they want to advocate this law. if you look at those on the other side though, and i'm looking at a quote from steve cook, president of the michigan education association. he says this. whether the

jenna: good morning, everybody, i'm jenna lee. an independent panel authored this report that slammed the state deet and blaming management and leadership there for quote, systemic failures and gross security lapses. however the panel recommends at this time no disciplinary action. chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge is live on capitol hill with more on this. catherine, in the last hour we have some brand new reaction to this report. what can you tell us about that? >> reporter: that's right, jenna. first of all the report concludes there was no protest prior to the attack. that al qaeda is not dead. it has metastasized. that its followers have a new home in eastern libya. and that the benghazi on 9/11 was a significant defeat for the united states. it killed 4:00 americans including our ambassador. it also shuttered our diplomatic security presence in eastern lib. >> as well as a sizable cia operation. within the last hour a senior democrat at the closed classified briefing said there were systemic failures at sen
