attacks of 9/11 could have been prevented and further more democrats didn't attack republicans on national security. one thing republicans proved today, that there is never a day that they will take off from attacking the president of the united states. joining me now is jonathan alter, msnbc political analyst. why do republicans think they are impressing, who they are impression impressing with people around the country doing stuff like this and talking like this? >> i think this is disgusting. i'm not sure there's any other word for it. it's a sacred day. more than 5,000 people lost their lives 11 years ago and to be politicizing it the way dick cheney started to do in 2008 and did it again today is just beneath contempt. he's a twisted, bitter old man who will never get a break from history. even the most right wing history will condemn dick cheney for the mistakes that he made in this period. so to try to mitt game that in some small way, he's making up stories about the president, casting aspersions on a record that's much better than his own. this administration has been tremendously

this was an attack on our nation, on our country. after i got to the courthouse, we learned that a third airplane flying over washington, d.c., very close to the building we are in, the united states capitol, went down the street less than a mile and crashed into the pentagon. and that was at 9:37 eastern time. then a fourth airplane, we remembered as flight 93, was flying toward washington, d.c., probably the capitol or the white house where some good right thinking folks took control of the plane from a high jacker an they were -- hi jacker and they were -- hijack er and they were crashed in a field. on september 11, 2001, this nation was attacked. 3,000 people were killed that day. it's interesting that the attackers decided to attack the world trade center because people from 90 nationalities were in the world trade center building. the south and the north. so it was more than an attack on america, it was an attack on the people of the world. freedom-loving people. people who believed in living life and liberty. the murder was do

cheering on president obama as he made his case for four more years in office on the final night of the democratic nationalus tonight. i'm maureen umeh. >> i'm brian bolter. the president used the primetime address to focus on fixing the economy and the hopes of swaying undecided voters in the tight race. fox 5's tom fitzgerald has more on tonight's speech. >> good evening. barack obama is known as a skilled speaker himself and he seemed to connect tonight with his democratic audience in north carolina. the question, though is did he connect with the independent and undecided voters in this country who still have to make up their minds? the president took the stage at the convention shortly after 10 p.m. highlighting the differences between himself and former governor mitt romney. he defended his decisions to push his healthcare reform law and focused in on national security records such as ending the iraq war and killing osama bin laden and the president took issues with differences he says expressed in the democratic convention in charlotte and the republican convention last week in florida. >> now our f

>> it shows the problem on a national level. there seems to be one set of laws for some states with the united states constitution all should have equal protection. it seems like texas is being treated differently where voters can cast a provisional ball it. if they don't have their identification they can cast the ballot and approve the diddy later. said this in the texas law if you don't have one you can cast the ballot then produce it later. why do they allow for new hampshire but not texas does not make sense. lou: the reason there is a difference with the justice department because of the civil-rights history with the requirement they must have the approval of the justice department but that does not apply. but the burden of the photograph is placed on the like toro system rather than the individual. >> you sound like a good lawyer. that is the reason why we appeal the decision to the u.s. supreme court. it has already approved the constitutionality of the voter i.d. law. that is why hampshire can implement. texas cannot bec

on the air. president obama accepted his party's nomination for re-election at the democratic national convention in charlotte is week lat week our managing editor kim lauten reported on religion at the republican national convention. today, the democrats and religion's sometimes controversial role at their gathering. >> in accepting the democratic nomination, president obama sounded several religious themes. >> we draw strength from our victories and we learn from our mistakes but we keep our eyes fixed on that distant horizon, knowing that providence is with us and that we are surely blessed to be citizens of the greatest nation on earth. >> he also made reference to his personal faith. >> and while i'm very proud of what we've achieved together, i'm far more mindful of my own failings, knowing exactly what lincoln meant when he said, i have been driven to my knees many times by the overwhelming conviction that i had no place else to go. >> for years, democrats have battled the public perception that their party is not friendly toward religion. and that battle was evident again this week. contr

for more on what happened and why, let's bring in the u.s. ambassador to the united nations, susan rice. >> first of all, what is the latest on who these attackers were at the embassy or at the consulate at benghazi? they're saying some people were from outside the country and some even al qaeda ties. what's the latest information? >> jake, it's important to know that there's an fbi investigation that has begun and it will take some time to be completed. that will tell us with certainly what transpired. our current assessment, is that fact what began as was a spontaneous not a premeditated response to what had transpired in cairo, there was a violent protest that was undertaken in reaction to this video that was disseminated. we believe that folks in benghazi, a small number of people came to the consulate to replicate this sort of challenge that was posed in cairo and then as that unfolded, it seems as hijacked, let's us say, by some individual clusters of extremists that came with heavier weapons, weapons as you know, in the wake of the revolution in libya are quite common

one party. it cannot happen if you write off half the nation. in 2008, 47% of the country did not vote for me, but i said to those folks on election night, i said "i may not have won your vote, but i will be your president, too." [applause] so, i don't know how many folks will vote for me this time around, but i can tell you i will be with you no matter what. i am not fighting to create democratic jobs or republican jobs. i am fighting to create american jobs. i am not fighting to increase school -- to improve schools in red states or lease base. i am fighting to improve schools in the united states. i am not fighting just on behalf of workers or businesses or rich or poor. the 1% or the 99%. i am fighting for american values. they belong to all those. and if you still believe in that, if you still have hope if you are still ready to go, i am asking you for your vote. [applause] if you get out there and work these last 45 days, if you are willing to make some phone calls for me and not on some doors for me -- knock on some doors for me, we will w

in aowntown silver spring to longtime football referee, is armchair quarterbacking what happened on national television last night. tv gives you perspective on it that the officials on the ground don't have. >> it appears to be one bad call another from the replacement officials. >> people are making sacrifices to go to the gam. -- game. toto most, the pass appears packers in a setting but the replacement referee's ruled that a touchdown. >> touchdown. >> this man has been a football referee for 53 years, head of an twociation that has referees officiating for the nfl. >> it should of been an interception. but from the fact that the guys they had to there, rule simultaneous catch. >> the simultaneous catch goes to the offense. >> there are seven rookies on time.eld at one that is a recipe for disaster. >> as soon as the game was up., social media blew many of the players shared their disgust. tweeted that he could not believe it, and was speechless after that. as we can see from that shot, today may be the perfect day to a long lunch.joy might be be last beautiful weather day we see for a wh

it has the tone being to try to put daylight between himself and a president who is strong on national security issues because he doesn't have a strong position on foreign policy. chris: so who is he listening to? is it ideologues of press attack types or who is it? >> the folks at the highest level of the romney campaign said the governor drove a lot of this. with consultations with john bolton and richard williamson and former state department officials. chris: which comes out of his book. >> the governor saw this as an opening for himself. and in part drove this message and collaborated then with his staff. it wasn't something brought to him and hey, governor, here's an idea. why don't you jump into this? he initiated it within the campaign i'm told. the obama campaign and the president remember not only romney's very different positions on libya as that was developing. you about also when they were negotiating for the release of the chinese dissident gen wajiang. while negotiations were going on romney said it was a day of shame for america when he was released from the embassy and

now, the nation's larger internet providers owns one of the broadcast networks. verizon and cable has a deal going on and we're seeing isps and content providers link up. these are exactly concerns about access that proponents of net neutrality raised. so it's more relevant today than before. but whether or not will stan up in court remains to be seen. >> also, the net neutral provisitations have been imbedded in the telecom deals. it's a condition of a merger they have these reviews and that they have to make net neutrality incorporated into their business plan. >> and the net neutrality might get stripped down. i agree that -- i'm not a lawyer but the dc circuit was the court that knocked down the fccs rules before and they were clear about it and this is the same court. the fcc got up lucky. eight courts and they got the same one. it seems up likely ill will survive in the court. and again, i think it's interesting that in both party platform, internet freedom was mentioned. it's become a hot topic, especially since the piracy posts. everyone wants to jump on

incidents as well as the afghan war into perspective anthony shaffer he works on the task force on national and homeland security with the center friends of advanced defense studies and joins me now all right and tony a lot to talk about here let's start off with this that this green on blue violence what's the problem here are we not vetting these people closely enough because of our desire to get out by two thousand and fourteen you're correct that much are about the twenty fourteen days but we are not better partly because three years ago when i first brought this up and other experts warning them the closer you get to the more you're going to see the taliban become more of a bold and. we we said you have to do the better to protect our curves they chose not to do that for a number of political reasons and i think we're now suffering the consequences are going to want to your comments a new direction make it one of the reason they didn't bring this up is because the very root of this problem goes back to president obama about the year two thousand . were living in twenty fourteen so he e

on the survival of the fittest. while in principle most governments and nations of people are humble and submissive in the faith of right and are after fostering dignity and constructive interaction. masses of people never ones wanted to expnd their territories nor do they seek to obtain legendary wealth. they have no disputes among themselves in principle and have never played a role in the creation of any disasters in the course of history. i do not believe that muslims, christians jews hindus, buddhists and others have any problems among themselves or are hostile against each other. they get along together constantly and live together in an atmosphere of peace and amnesty. they are all devoted to the cause of justice peace and love. 9 general tendency of nations has always been to get common aspirations reflecting in divine human beauties andbility nobilities. the current abysmal situation of the world -- >> well the president of iran certainly has a whole lot of blame for a whole lot of other countries other than his own specifically those zionists who he always calls the uncivilized za owe nists and the nations wit

desperate because for the first time in decades, they can't pretend like they are trusted on the issue of national security. for years they've campaigned as if they were the only ones who could be tough on america's enemies. the only party that could keep america safe. republicans have used the image of war and tragedy to make political arguments. in 2004 president bush even used a photo of ground zero in a political ad. >> i'm george w. bush and a prove this message. >> the last few years have tested america in many ways. some challenges we've seen before. and some were like no others. >> 9/11 families accused the bush campaign of exploiting the tragedy. but he refused to stop running the ads. that was 2004. but 2012 is different. bin laden is dead and the bush wars are ending. americans trust president obama on national security because mitt romney is literally not talking about the issues that matter to them. in his speech at the republican convention, romney didn't say the words al qaeda or september 11th. he also failed to mention iraq and afghanistan. more than 55,000 americans have been kil

the various interests that make up the nation were perpetually contesting against one another, but there were not your vocally opposed. some people who visit us from other lands across the sea find it difficult to credit the fact that a nation's wrong from many sources, 130 million strong, stretching 300 miles from east to west and all the great essentials of the civilization, much gasol for not only do speak one language, not only of the customs and habits of our people essentially similar in every part of the country, but we have given repeated proof on many occasions especially in recent years that we're willing to forgo advantage for such advantage should only be obtained by one part of the country at the expense of the country as a whole. because the nation a share, believes, common culture, and common interest some groups would be granted by the president temporary political. others would be legitimately deny the clinton government command of a planned to be deferred while others were deflected. most importantly the roosevelt administration was marked by its enormous efforts a poli

i think the nation became more compassionate on that day, the nation became more united on that day, the nation became more determined on that day. >> ( jet roars overhead ) >> it all happened here... the point of impact. on september 11, 2001, a direct attack on american soil signaled the birth of an entirely new world. what followed was a surge in patriotism not seen since pearl harbor, with flags on every street corner and signs posted almost everywhere that proclaimed, "god bless america." enormous benefit concerts took place on both coasts, and america was left with a new kind of 21st century hero: the first responder. for a time, our deeply divided country was one again. >> bush: after 9/11, after we resolved that we would defend ourselves, came this great wave of patriotism, where there's a great sense of pride about what we stood for. i'll never forget going to new york and seeing that-- on the one hand, compassion for their fellow citizens, and for the families that were suffering; on the other hand, this great sense of resolve and determination to stand strong in the face of

bush on national education goals. i am actually very grateful as you saw from the film that you viewed today i have to be grateful and you should too that president george h.w. bush saved the lives of millions of, millions of people in poor countries, and i had been honored to work with both presidents bush on national disasters in the aftermath of the south asian tsunami, hurricane katrina, the horrible earthquake in haiti. through my foundation, both in america and around the world i am working all the times with republicans, democrats and independents i couldn't tell you who i am working with because we work on solving problems and seizing opportunities and not fighting all the time. [ cheers and applause ] >> so here is what i want to say to you and here is what i want the people at home to think about. when times are tough and people are frustrated and angry and hurting and uncertain, the politics of constant conflict may be good. but what is good politics does not necessarily work in the real world. what works i

they are the three amigos, along with grant, especially on national-security issues. and yet, this is lieberman's batie, his biggest gold before he retires, and mccain is torpedoing it. they have had lots of discussions and lieberman reportedly exploded at mccain saying, how could you do this? how are you going to feel if a year from now there is an attack and people died and you block to this? and of course, mccain comes back at him and saying, you have no right to question my ability on -- my credibility on national- security issues. that speaks to how seriously people take this. >> gaupham nagesh, you mentioned best practices. don't most corporations already have cyber security in place? what would this legislation add to that? >> you would be very surprised at even sophisticated technology companies that do not necessarily implement best practices' right now. the government does not really implement best practices' right now. the pentagon has had to go through massive upgrade in the past five years because of vulnerability. the state of cyber security right now wa

the man has been on the national stage for many years. he is an experienced debater. he has done these kinds of debates before. this is mitt's first time on this kind of a stage. >> chris: there were 23 debates during the primarys. >> people are going to see who is mitt romney and what kind of president is he going to be and what are the choices i have. that is what matters in this particular debate and all of the debates which is i know what president obama has done and all of the empty promises and broken promises and know about the ugly stagnant economy. what is mitt romney and paul ryan offering to get us back on track? and i think that is what we will get out of wednesday and if we get that out of wednesday then the country understands the choice they have to make. >> chris: i understand that governor romney plans to make a major foreign policy speech in the next few days. do the two of you think that the president has engaged in a coverup in his and the administration's escaped explanation of what happened at the u.s. consulate in benghazi? >> i will let others d

medicaid gets 7%. 6% goes to interest on the national debt. that is actually going to explode over the next decade and by the end of the decade we will very likely be spending more on and just on the national debt than we do on defense are medicare and medicaid. and about 14% of the federal budget goes to all non-defense discretionary spending, so social security and medicare and medicaid is primarily a mandatory spending programs of talking about the discretionary part of the budget here. that gives you an idea of the order of magnitude. the big items in the federal budget, of course on one side of the equation you have got revenues and on the other side you have got the big ones that are social security, defense and medicare. those are the big one so if you want to frame this as a simple choice or a priority, it's among those things. what are you going to do with revenues? what you want do you want to do with social security and medicare both of which are programs for the elderly or defense so those are your big choices in your federal budget
