shannon? >> how confident are the "cook's essentialsal" democrats about the ability to get this done? >> reporter: congressional democrats do not sound over confident. they recognize this is a heavy lift between the top two senators in the next couple of hours. but a leading new york democrat sounded cautiously optimistic. >> there is certainly no breakthroughs yet between senator mcconnell and senator reid. but there is a real possibility of a deal. i have been a legislator for 37 years. and i have watched how these things work. they almost always happen at the last minute. >> reporter: we are getting down to the left minute. the threshold for extending the bush tax cuts. president obama campaigned campn capping it at $250,000, raising taxes on those who earn more than $250k, but some of the discussion and it is buzz around capitol hill has been about perhaps going to the $400,000 mark. the question is, will you get enough republicans to buy in if that is the deal? shannon? >> thanks to mike

i'm shannon bream. america's news headquarters live from the nation's capital starts right now. >> shannon: we want to get to the budget standoff. peter doocy joins us live. there is time to strike a deal but not a lot. >> reporter: that's right. the speaker of the house john boehner made a point today to say there is not much time between election day and the end of the year. he thinks the white house has already wasted weeks because he does not think the proposal to avoid a fiscal cliff is serious one. negotiations here are nowhere. another republican, senator lindsey graham thinks he thinks things are heading down hill. >> i think we are going over the cliff. it's clear to me they made a political calculation. the offer doesn't deal with the entitlement reform to save the medicare and medicaid and social security from imminent bankruptcy. it raises $1.6 trillion on job creators to destroy the economy. no spending controls. >> reporter: treasuresy secretary tim geithner advocated for clinton era tax r

shannon? >> shannon: steve, thank you very much.eed a national commission on mass violence. not to -- in place of anything else the congress or state governments might want to do but to make sure that the heart break and anger that we feel now is not dissipated over time or lost in legislative gridlock. >> >> shannon: that was senator lieberman on "fox news sunday" saying it is time for washington to form a national commission to study mass violence in our country. earlier today i sat down with anchor chris wallace to get his preview of this week's show. chris, it's a tough story all the way around. you had senator lieberman of course home state on "fox news sunday" to talk with you today. >> chris: right, senator for 24 years. efforts town me about this town of newtown. of course he knows the whole state so well. he said this the quitest most innocent town in the world. it's the last place. it isn't the last place. because it can happen everywhere and anywhere four country. people we have a number of two senators and a congressman

jay's team, shannon's team. by having both of those units in place i think there is going to be a really powerful team. because you can't just open up the data. you have to do things like this, where you get the community together or you have people actually talking about it because the demand side, as we were talking about it, will be there because there is going to be someone there. there have to be people working with it who are getting out there. i think this is what this city is going to be really powerful. in terms of other cities doing as well, chicago is doing some really interesting stuff. scary cool stuff. they're taking 3 in 1 data, pothole request and crime report and matching it up with social media. they're getting this really deep and rich picture of what is going on in the city. and you can do that with data when you think about it creatively. philadelphia as i mentioned, they are really active in open data. and new york, again with 3 in 1 is doing smart analytics. i think that's what you'll see

shannon, we should say that brent was arrested in 2009 for a dwi in illinois. again, he is expected to be released from jail, posting bond, later today. we will keep you updated here from dallas. >> casey stegele, live there in texas. thank you. a daring rescue in afghanistan. a u.s.-led military coalition has rescued an american doctor, kidnapped by the taliban and reportedly in imminent danger. dr. joseph was captured by taliban insurgents on wednesday, near kabul, along with an afghan doctor and driver. a statement was released, praising the rescue. the nonprofit that the doctor works for says he was uninjured and dr. joseph will be returning to his home in comradeo springs in a few days. >> jamie: jept a -- egypt's opposition leaders are calling for protests. morsi's refusing to meet his opponent's key demand, that he rescind a draft constitution, that will go to a referendum next saturday. there are reports that north korea may postpone a controversial rocket launch, scheduled for as early as tomorrow. it is not clear if diplomatic intervention or technica

i rose and walked on stage as senator alan and shannon. >>caller: allen and shannon.n did i hear rightright did you got three of these? >>caller: yes i purchased them from my family and what is the pillow they are talking >>host: ttes si these set a to pillowcases and there's a topper on both sides is machine washed hundred% cotton and water resistant. to date >>caller: come in different sizes or are they all standard? i believe >>guest: a common standard error- king. >>caller: i like to order these. >>host: rose have fun with these i will get shorter my producer pads baking get you back to the ordering line. >>caller: thank you shannon yourself funny. >>host: thank you rose and their christmas to you to money. mary >>caller: christmas. >>guest: i love these as they do not lose all lofty few like the it and that's why they're the best selling. >>host: going screw mend 60 seconds there are many people calling as much quantities that are remaining. if you want those grab decaying and mrs. allen's lthem to. this is e;;e llen's show.grab yours why you have them we are del

this is not cool, shannon. filming out the front door and the hail was coming out this way just pounding the siding and the gutters and just ripping everything off. look at the siding. look at the siding over there. shannon. >> it is extremely loud. when something that large comes from the sky. it sound like you're getting pummeled. so, that was the scariest portion of it all. anything that it hits, it hits with force. things are breaking very easily. >> just anarchy out the front door. everything was just getting shattered, bashed in, windows were flying, siding was flying off the wall. >> looks like a freaking war zone. i've never seen anything like this. >> mak and shannon are awe struck by the brute force of the precipitation and they wait out the storm in shannon's apartment. but for others in oklahoma city, even home is a danger zone. high school senior bonnie tibbs has just raced home to beat the impending downpour when she grabs her camera and begins to film. >> we've had tons of hail storms, but nothin

our customer, i can completely agree with what shannon said in terms of our business objective, so to speak, is to empower entrepreneurs and innovators, to create jobs. that's a metric of success, not revenue generated per data set or some other per ifervance metric. the other piece of that looking back to the example of weather and gps, my monetization, is that together they contribute $100 billion to the american economy last year. last year alone from just those two data liberations. so, that is the way in which we are approaching from a strategy perspective, the ultimate impact to our customers. >> one super quick. one thing the city of san francisco or big cities or federal, right, the other smaller cities, smaller cities have smaller budgets. having a structure to support all this open data takes a lot of money. so, when these small cities are thinking about this, they should think about a way of somehow equalizing because they are putting into having these open data team, right? so, what does make sense? this is kind of an open question to get your point of view. >> do you want

>>guest: this is how i get shannon' attention.ost: we have to have that as a sound effect here at hsn. ! >>host: if you want to be the coolest grandparent in the world, i have big old man hands and i am a farm girl.i cannot tax the my cell phone half the time i just put yes or no. if you only got it to tax and how much of youthspan neon texting? -- text and how much are you spending for texting? >>guest: i cannot remember ifit is free or 99¢.you use your fingers or we include a. it is easy to type with a stylus. you can be a lot more precise. >>host: wow are we busy and use express ordering if you can. if you shop here before, it actually allows you to but ahead in line.literally typing your telephone number and it will ask your zip code and is no hard questions like how old are you or how much do you weigh? % not want to answer. [laughter] also the flex pay committee to do all that and you can pay for6 c13 -- we will pay for the shipping and handling even if you are going to send it to someone else. it is free to get it to their

this has some of the best people, shannon and jay are doing t. they've been doing it awhile so they know what they're doing. it's great. last year i was building this adopted tree app and i found it on the data portal. it had like some weird geo data like it was in some form i couldn't use. i just dropped jay a note and like within 24 hours i got the data fixed and it was perfect. so, it's those kind of relationships that matter and having the right people in place. so, i think the chief data officer, these guys will end up joining a rock star team. >> not a question, but just a comment to say thanks to the city's innovation office. we're a small company from ireland called building i. we take permit data from cities and show it to anyone who wants to see it. we started off in ireland, discovered the san francisco data and came over here and now we've got an office up and running here with san francisco data. so, it's great to be able to do that. just one note of caution of how do you prevent kind of third-party data integrators from owning that

i am a huge fan of shannon brownlee. i hope everyone reads the book "unaccountable: what hospitals won't tell you." now we have a new and exciting individual, marty makary. his book was spotted by me a couple of months ago. i'm going to use it at my class and schools at vanderbilt university this winter. who wouldn't want marty makary as their doctor? to be fair and calm and intelligent and balanced, also to understand the system. it is extraordinarily important. our physicians need to be able to do that. unfortunately, talking to you from a policy perspective, that is not nearly as exciting. i don't do kiss and tell. we have to work to save social security, medicare, medicaid, and the entitlement programs. magical thinking doesn't save the programs. local speeches don't change the programs. chickening out doesn't save those programs. unfortunately, in a political environment, normally we follow the path of least resistance. that means that the medicare program will be out of money in 2024, which is not that much further

shannon, what is the story? >>shannon: they decided to take up to different gay marriage cases. you mention the one from california, you may remember proposition eight. the voters passed a measure that allows only the recognition of one man, one woman as a "marriage." a federal court overturned that. that want on appeal to the supreme court and they decided they will weigh in on that fight. in addition there were eight cases on the diagnosis -- the docket on the defense of marriage act and a portion only recognizes marriage as between a man and a woman and has been challenged dozens of times. they agreed to take up a case dealing with defense of marriage act. two different cases but both going to the same issues. they are different on technical and legal points but the bottom line is the same and the court has told us it will hear two gay marriage cases and we expect the earliest to get on the calendar is march of 2013 so that means we will have a decision like we did with the president's health care law in late june next year. >>shepard: has the supreme court or members given a

shannon is finished being printed.y much done, and a lot of boys come to think of it. --i >>host: if you have a girlfriend getting married, this would be suchreat gift. they will lose their minds. >>host: >>guest: stop the clock. we went no picture at all. less than two minutes. from picture, framed, you could still wine fingerprints. could still wine and it would still remain perfect. >>host: these are forever photos. just to be shameless because it is kind of my job we are in the warm-up act. last airing of the today's special.one hour of electronics right now was not originally scheduled. the nutribullet sold out and actually got mine. weexpect the same thing to happen with the kindle-fire. and we want to hear from you. last show coming up next.if you want this remember works hand- in-hand with your lg telephone i know a lot of you are still calling on. the flexpay expires on this at midnight, expires on this at midnight. she read my mind. which is a scary and dark place to be. here is the quantity left, only 1300.

>> shepard: shannon bream in washington tonight. americans surveyed a majority of them say there are more effective ways of preventing mass shootings than restricting gun sales. that's according to a new poll from gallup. the organization asked more than a thousand adults whether they believe certain tactics would help prevent mass shootings at schools. 87 percent said increasing police presence at schools would be very or somewhat effective. 84 percent said they felt the same thing about spending more on mental health screening and treatment. and 78% of those surveyed said decreasing gun violence in tv and in movies and on video games would help. 63 percent said banning the sale of assault and semiautomatic guns would also work. president obama said the massacre in newtown should give perspective in fiscal cliff. economists say that combination could cause another recession and a huge mess. the president claims he has already met republican leaders at least half way as he putsz it now he is calling on them to take the deal that he

officer shannon uses his baton but it has little effect on the suspect. >> he ran right through it. > for the officers to use pepper spray. >> i sprayed him, actually emptied my whole canister. >> officer burnett, reeling from pepper spray, runs from the room. >> pepper spray burns. it causes your tear ducts, your nasal cavity to open. probably nine times out of ten it's going to incapacitate someone long enough for you to apprehend them. >> but not so with this suspect. >> it almost seemed like the pepper spray aggravated him. >> bergen loses his shirt in the fray and then reaches for a chair and hurls it at officer shannon. >> the moment of the fight, didn't even feel getting hit with the chair. >> the brawl moves off-camera, in front of an adjacent row of lockers. >> when you see the lockers moving, that's me hitting him a second time. this time in the chest. it doesn't stop him. >> another officer joins the fight, and the four officers are able to subdue bergen. >> down on the the ground. down on the ground! >> we got him to the ground. as we're handcuffing him, he's yelling, kill

shannon travis, thanks very much. >> seven minutes past the hour. we're learning more about petty officer first class nicolasd. checque. he's described as hard-working and enthusiastic. he joined the navy in 2002 after graduating from high school and entered the s.e.a.l.s program the very next year. he received the bronze star and other awards during his ten-year career. >> a hero. >> yes, he indeed. >>> british banking giant hsbc agreed to pay $1.92 billion to settle a money laundering investigation here in the u.s. hsbc is accused of transferring billions of dollars for nations like iran doing business with firms linked to terrorism and enabling mexican drug cartels to move money illegally through u.s. subsidiaries. the settlement represents the largest pen the ever paid by a bank. >>> now pot is officially legal in colorado. people 21 and older may have up to 1 ounce of weed, smoke it, not in public and grow a small amount at home as well. the governor has created a task force to help implement the law. here's the problem. it's complicated. the f

i want to bring in shannon watts. as many people watched on friday, not only we saw the first reaction in the press briefing that wane lappeire and pressed and wayne is blaming everything but guns and opposed to any new gun regulation and wants to talk about the other possibilities of video games to hollywood to the media to actually arming schools. is this a point of a pr crisis for the nra, especially logically not to have guns in the discussion at all? >> well, unfortunately, i think they know exactly what they're doing. and at the end of the day what they're doing is trying to make a profit and arm everyone in the country and, you know, 80 million moms are not going to let 4 million members of the nra drive the discussion on this. you talk about waking a sleeping giant. i believe the nra has woken a very busy giant and that's the 80 million moms in this country and doing what we do best. we organize and protect. we won't stop until there's common sense gun poll laws at the federal and state level. >> there's an eq

and shannon gallagher. >>> commissioners, i'm arthur feinstein. i'm chair of the san francisco bay chapter of the sierra club and i'm following up with my friend sue vaughan carrying on her message to you, which is for you to disapprove this or reject this proposal as it now stands. you had quite a few letters from lawyers expressing concerns over this and most of them, if not all, have told you basically that there are parts of this that simply violate state statute. you've had your own lawyer say no, and the supervisor said no, it's not the case. but concerning how many lawyers have found those kind of conflicts, we ask that you step back and start another process of deliberation to make sure that this does not itself end up in court, which is what you're trying to achieve to begin with, a simplified process that doesn't have that. i do want to bring up the issue of why we have c-e-q-a in the first place, to try and remind everybody what the context is, because this is being framed as c-e-q-a is just a burden we have to get throughv so we can do

shannon bream is here. we have a new series, cost of spending. shannon will kick it off for us. when we talk about food stamps who really is paying the bill? >> the first obvious answer would be the american taxpayer. obviously this money funnels through the federal government but the fact is it goes beyond that. this is program you have to pay it out. federal government has no options. when taxpayer money is not there to cover it they have to borrow from foreign places like china to cover this program. here is what senator jeff sessions told me. >> it's a guaranteed thing. it's an entitlement program. that means if you meet the income qualifications, the government must give you the money. whether the government has any money to give you or not. if they don't they have to borrow it. that's what we're doing. >> reporter: by the way the food stamp program is exempt from sequestration. even if we go over the fiscal cliff those benefits will still be paid out even if lawmakers don't reach a deal. senator sessions did try to pass something in the senate that would have put food stam
