>>reporter: it became a big deal because peter king and others were at each other's throats, a lot oflling and the idea was, why would you block assistance to heros to all america, and the answer was if because you are taking on things that have nothing to do with defense spending and the like. this is in the fair to republicans trying to stop increased spending, especially deficit type. now it is a separate items and republicans have congress loan. >>shepard: it appears as if congress is trying to get together some things that will make science to their constituents back home. you ran into the world trade center before it fell down and you need some help insurance, and people get that. >>reporter: for peter king as a republican in new york, he would be vulnerable to people saying you were insensitive and this is taking the "we got to stop obama" thing too far. >>shepard: a lot of controversial stuff going on but they are voting on a bill allowing the government to slap fees on chinese goods because beijing keeps their currency artificially high and intelligence for programs, and the

think what would be senator o'donnell's anti-nobility platform would do to larry king, congressman peter kingtifah, lady gaga, and msnbc's contessa brewer. afterwards o'donnell agreed to take one question from reporters responding to allegations that she misused campaign funds. >> i am confident that we have been ethical. we have not -- i personally have not misused the campaign funds. we have our fec lawyer, a great attorney answering those charges if it ever go anywhere. that wasn't our question. >> the man speaking cnn's gary tuchman continued to press miss o'donnell on whether she paid her rent with campaign money and that's when she went full angle on her. >> one question you promise you'd would answer. >> i did answer. >> about the rentals last year. >> sorry tonight, not happening. >> that was with the one question i had i answered it. >> no, you didn't answer. >> leave it to a brave few to turn the spotlight on o'donnell's opponent chris coons. >> let's not talk about o'donnell, let's talk about the democratic challenger. >> he is a loon. >> he admitted it. >> you're telling me that s

this was doomed to fail. >> that was congressman anthony weiner and then peter king with their takes1 rescue workers stalled over the summer. yesterday the house finally passed the bill. and with us from washington to explain how it all went down, nbc news capitol hill correspondent luke russert. >> so, luke, what happened, buddy? we know that nancy pelosi didn't want to bring it to a straight up or down because the blue dogs were worried and the hispanic caucus was worried. it happened, why? how? >> it happened and it's a quite interesting backstory. it was something that both parties were working on over the august recess. specifically king and weiner and the new york delegation. and late last week we got word from pelosi and hoyer that they were going to bring this up for a straight up and down vote. but it took a lot of lobbying sources on the side of peter king to try to reassure nervous democrats that the bill would not have to do with illegal immigration. some would want to offer a poisoned pill amendment that would bar the funds from this larger $7.8 billion fund to go to und

peter king, anthony wiener. remember that back and forth with those guys? pelosi announcing that 266 to 160 the house 9/11 health bill has, indeed, passed. so that's good news for a lot of those workers. >>> and developing right now, let's look at live pictures from richmond, virginia. that's where president obama is about to speak at the southampton recreation association, talking tax cuts, the deficit. wrapping up this four-state tour aimed at rallying democrats. we'll let you know when that's going on. >>> and the tea party. it's a political force, even the president says it can't be ignored. our new poll suggests that movement is gaining steam. 42% of those polled said the tea party is a good thing for politics. only 18% said it's a bad thing. sal russo has been a republican consulta consultant. he's chief strategist for the tea party express. good to see you. thanks very much for joining us. >> thanks for having me. >> you have been called either the karl rove of the tea part y which is the chief tactician and chief financier. how do you see yourself?

peter king from nbc's "football night in america." >> yes. >> and broadway star patti lupone to round things out. >> what does that mean, yes! >> speaking of football, a couple of things. first of all vanderbilt, vandy, it ain't easygoing in to oxford on a saturday night with 23,000 screaming fans. >> at the new hampshire institute of politics we met someone who says gave you a shout-out. >> a lot of vanderbilt fans. secondly, seriously, wow, let's give them love, the jets. >> oh, the jets, yes. >> the jets deserve some love as well. >> they changed the way they play, started throwing the ball. sanchez looked great all of the sudden. >> it's great. stop talking and afterwards you see the press conference with rex. they're going to do a video called the super bowl shuffle. they're going to film it tomorrow. it's going to be out -- they're actually recruited the fridge. >> i love the refrigerator. >> my mom loved the refrigerator. >> i will repeat it again. i love the jets. i don't like how many they've been yacking their mouths. >> i don't want to say the new york crowd is fickle. they

. >> julie: for a fair and balanced debate we are joined by peter king, republican congress of new yorkw york. thanks, gentlemen, for talking to us. david axelrod says the republican insistence on tax cuts for the rich is holding up tax relief for everyone else, and they will have to explain that to voters on the campaign trail. i want to hear more about what he said on abc's "this week." listen: >> i think it's an untenable position to say we'll allow your taxes to go up, on january 1, unless the president agrees to give tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires. >> julie: congressman engel, we are not talking about billionaires here, when we talk of a family making over $250,000 a year. why do democrats insist on making that assessment. >> i think it should be more than $250,000, because if you live in an area like congressman king and i live, the high cost of living area like new york city that is not fair but i think the real question here is, should tax cuts for the middle class be held hostage because republicans refuse to support it, unless we also give tax cuts to millionaires a

if there's one day of the year, if there's one item on the calendar where people like me and peter king are working shoulder to shoulder and we are trying to figure out a way to do the right thing and put aside politics, this should be the day. 30 additional seconds? mr. arcuri: additional minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. weiner: this is the day we can stand up and say, you know what, if you really believe philosophically you can't do this, vote no. let's try to talk about this in a serious and adult way. if this is the last thing we do in this congress, less in a bipartisan way, go home to our constituents to say to those people in the galleries we understand and get it. they are the first casualties of the war in afghanistan. and the amount of money we are going to spend would not support the war in afghanistan more than 11 days. these people have been waiting nine years. let's not have any more people die because of the attacks of september 11. let's passion the september 11 act that was sponsored by peter king and carolyn maloney and jerrold nadler.

you've heard a lot of impassioned pleas on the floor today from a lot of democrats and even peter kingry state in the union is effected. every state had a 9/11 first responder. over 36,000 people have at least sought medical treatment for something related to the 9/11 first response. so it's a -- it's definitely a bill that's been playing on the emotional element more than we usually see in washington, d.c. >>> the city of brotherly love is showing a lot of love to michael vick. fans are clamoring for number 7 eagles swag. tailors are placing big orders for his jersey. two weeks ago, vick became the team quarterback. he has pulled off back-to-back wins. vick's jerseys are expected to crack the top 15 in sales by december. if he continues his winning ways. interesting. >>> well, three stars of a popular reality tv show just quit before filming an all-new season. >>> and mel gibson's sex -- exsits down with us. >> the reality show, we're talking about "deadliest catch." three of their stars just quit. this is very problematic because it leaves them with basically zero captains. this is w

but i in turn want to salute congressman peter king, congress woman carol lynn maloney and the entire bipartisan new york delegation for giving us this opportunity today to do what is right and fair and just. mr. speaker, in observance of 9/11 earlier this month, we stood on the steps of the capitol, democrats and republicans alike, to honor the memory that we lost that day. as we were standing there i was thinking back to my first visit to ground zero. when you went there at that time following the tragedy, you knew that when you stepped there, you were walking on sacred ground. there was an incredible silence as the workers feverishly, feverishly tried to retrieve the remains of those who were lost and just repair the damage that was done, to clear, to clear the wreckage. no pictures were allowed in recognition that we were on sacred ground. no photographs were allowed. and of course silence was generally observed. that those who were working could hear each other as they quietly went about their very, very sad assignment. they and those who rushed to the scene in real time when it

republican sponsor peter king says he's confident it will in fact pass this time. those are your headlines. >> why hurry? bob woodward was on the bill o'reilly show last night. it talks about the struggles at the white house and what to do in afghanistan and pakistan and stuff like that. one of the early reports from "the new york times" said the president of the united states told woodward that the united states could absorb another 9/11 style attack. how could he say that? last night, o'reilly asked bob woodward about that comment. >> there's a group -- this country is strong. we could deal with another terrorist attack. what is bizarre is for the president of the united states to say it would be like the head of goldman-sachs going out and saying, we can absorb another financial crisis. >> the president -- >> it was bizarre. >> he did go on in his book to say i'm doing everything i can to prevent it. as i read more of that passage, it seemed as though he was kind of bucking up america saying how impressed he was the first time around. >> remember when we discuss

this one joined by local politicians, including new york congressman peter king. >> just because you have the right to build a mosque does not make it right to build a mosque at ground zero. >> reporter: actually it's two blocks from ground zero, but for some opponents proximity hasn't been the point. bill keller says flatly the whole muslim religion is in his words a lie. >> i believe the 1,400-year history of islam is very clear, it's a religion of hate, violence and death. >> reporter: last week hall of fame golfer carolm mann wrote o her facebook page, america is a christian country, let the muslims erect their worship centers in other countries. talk show host michael berry said this to the supporters of a local islamic center. >> i'll tell you this, if you do build a mosque, i hope somebody blows it up. >> we are going to have an international burn a koran day. >> reporter: given the overheated rhetoric, some say it's no wonder that when a new york cabbie answered yes last week to a customer's question, are you a muslim, the customer, a young film student stabbed him in the nec

let's get more on this now from representative peter king of new york who has been a vocal opponent of the plan to build an islamic community center and mosque near ground zero, and the council on american islamic relations. gentlemen, good morning to you both. >> good morning. >> let's start with pastor jones, who plans to burn the koran on 9/11, on september 11th, on this saturday, that if somebody were to call from the white house or the state department or the pentagon, it is something that would not be ignored. so do you believe that someone from the white house, maybe even the president himself, should call this man and encourage him not to burn the koran? i'll start with you? >> first of all, this is insane, it's dangerous, there's absolutely no place in american debate for what this mad man is talking about. my only concern with the president calling him is he gives him status, gives him stature. we can have real issues debated here this morning. it has nothing to do with the koran, nothing to do with the new testament, nothing to do with the old testment. we have political, di

joining us now, peter newman, a terrorism expert at king's college in london. peter, always good to see you. there is word from senior intelligence officials that this was a plot that was hatched by al-qaeda's number three, mohammed kashmirie, who is a pakistani. does that sound about right? >> it could be. it all goes back to a german national that the americans arrest in july and they've been questioning over a period of time, and over the course of these interrogations, it seems like he's revealed a number of plots that he's been instructed to carry out. it would make sense, al-qaeda desperately needs another success in the eyes of their supporters, and success, the ultimate successes, are successful attacks against the west, so it would make sense for this this happen at this point in al-qaeda's history. gregg: and apparently the idea was to not only attack the hotels but to make westerners as hostage, in particular, france was targeted here, peter. is that perhaps related to france's recent ban on conservative muslim women wearing birckas? >> there are two

king solomon built the temple. as you said, when rome became christian, they built st. peters of the great churches ever built. so this is consistent in history and kind of lost in this conversation i think is there's 600,000 muslims who live in and around new york city. there have been -- there are mosques in this area, there was a muslim prayer room in the world trade centers, to her reference about the trade centers. so the point is, it just is unusual and frankly a little frightening that a political candidate in north carolina or my hometown of savannah is going to comment on where muslims in new york city can worship or not. >> so if you call a mosque a victory mosque, by that logic, could you call the vatican a victory church or st. peter's a victory church, if you're going down that road? >> if you want to use that language, i don't think it's constructive language, and when the pilgrims got to plymouth, the first thing they built was a church. why is it that several months into this we are still talking about it? part of it is sensitivity to 9/11. we just saw presiden
