. >> he said that they were up in the wheelhouse of the splendor, the boat they were on.. wagner didn't want to use the searchlight and basically, he made up a story, got the story together with everybody there and that's what they told investigators when they found her body. but they didn't take -- the captain says that the efforts they should have taken weren't taken that night and you know -- but the whole thing is, what's the motivation here? that's one of the other things that the investigators have to look at, fred. is there monetary reason they're coming forward now, almost 30 years later? there's a lot of questions that remain unanswered in this case. >> the boat captain we heard from earlier will be on cnn. dennis davern at noon eastern today. >>> they're not giving up on occupy wall street. they swarmed streets, stopped traffic, tangled with officers on the two-month anniversary of the movement. more than 200 people were arrested in new york as protesters push through barriers in manhattan and marched across the brooklyn bridge. in los angeles, marchers snarled

he met up with wagner in the wheelhouse. nnis wanted to do everything, make phone calls, turn on the search lights, his instincts told him something was terribly wrong and robert wagner asked him not to. >> i'm going to stop at that point. mr. davern, wagner said not to. not to take direct steps that could help identify where natalie wood was had she fallen off the boat. that's what you're saying. >> yes, we didn't take any steps to see if we could locate her. >> did you have any evidence, any information to say that there was foul play, that this was murder, that he was responsible for her being pushed off the boat? or, was it a matter of him simply saying we're not going to look too hard. >> i think it was a matter of we're not going to look too hard, we're not going to turn on the search light, we're not going to notice 5 anybody at the moment. >> you never told the police that at the time, did you. >> no. >> why not? >> well, because we all had -- we all had our story to tell the homicide detectives at the time, and that'

care, they thought we were overreaching as a party and pushing something that was something in the wheelhouse of our care and compassion philosophy without regard to the primary concern of moms and dads having now, which is having a roof over their head and having food on the table. that is the lesson, that voters are paying attention and they do not like this sort of mean- spirited ideology. it may excite the tea party crowds at the republican debates, but it is not what mainstream america wants from their leaders. >> questions? >> last week we saw the fees for democratic candidate is in mississippi and louisiana. you're not going to be contested races there next year, but what is the road map for democrats to rebuild their straight in parts of the deep south where they are struggling right now? >> repeating the question, what do we do about the deep south of how do we rebuild our party in ehe deep south i cannot car whether you're from the south, north, west, east, i thinks everybody wants their government to work for the taxes you know, you look at the good work that mike bebe is knowing a

what you have to do is start saying no to the projects that are not within your wheelhouse. ur specialty. we have to stay in our sweet spot. okay. and if we stay within our sweet spot, we can start hitting what's called a concentric circle. people in the same type of community, stay in the same circles. and it's usually two or three spots. and if you have a presence in those three or four spots, they will perceive you as being everywhere. and the fifth and final tip i wanted to share with you, i think there's a huge opportunity for what's called additive sales. when you do a project, install a setup, a whole new play set, i think there's an opportunity to offer maintenance. right there in that moment, when they buy it, $10,000 or $20,000 play set you could say for $100 a month we'll come out and do a check, make sure the safety standards are met, that it's clean, and give you a report on it. if anything needs to be fixed or adjusted, we'll do that, too. with your quality of work, that's rarely going to happen. >> the next order of business was improving first impressions at t

the economy and jobs issue. this is right in his wheelhouse. bate will demonstrate that. >> congresswoman candice miller from michigan. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> you can't talk about michigan without talking about the auto industry and there is something the democratic national committee wants voters from michigan to hear from mitt romney. >> you wouldn't know he was from around here. >> let detroit go bankrupt. >> this city where american rubber meets the road. a town that's been to hell and back. what's his answer for the motor city? >> let detroit go bankrupt. >> what do you say to the man who would have put the city on cement blocks, kicking us when we were down? >> let detroit go bankrupt. >> you say, hit the road, mitt. >> let detroit go bankrupt. >> well, senior adviser to the romney campaign eric fernstrom joins us. >> welcome. >> you do this all the time with the debates. let me ask you. i am a little bit confused about governor romney's position on -- you heard the congresswoman there. she said, we call it a bridge loan not

it is across the board that will -- that we will be affected as we move forward. >> mr. chairman, from our perspective wheelhousee share the same anxieties that my fellow service chiefs have over the forerunner $50 billion -- for under $50 billion addition to the bill. there is no question it will reduce our presence. admiral green talked today about the chinese a hospital ship in our hemisphere. our lack of export presence as a result of drawing back because we cannot afford the operations and maintenance to deployed forward, we cannot afford the ships. we cannot afford the personnel to be able to do that. it will be killed by somebody. the void will be filled by another nation. we do note -- we do not know the net result. down the road, it could mean a lack of access. a lack of ability to shape a nation around the world that our country believes it is important to be involved in. forward presence -- it is no question it will decrease our dwell time. as we shrink our forced to pay the bill, we only have. ways we can pay bills. one is in procurement. one is personnel. the other one as operations and maintenance.

know who they are and they know what the audience expects and they know what they're good at, where their gift is and they know how to stay inside their wheelhouse. you never want to go on stage and take too many risks, you're yo-yo ma, you don't have to take risks at this point to pull in a crowd, to make money, to be regarded around the world. why do you see it one way and others see the other way? >> ultimately it's what you believe in and what you think is important and what you think makes sense. and that's where being old, you've seen so many iterations of people being afraid. i think the greatest things that keeps us as human beings from really advancing is fear. we are paralyzed by fear. tavis: i agree on that. >> and some of that is real, some of it is imagined, and if we can conquer our own fears and our own insecurities and are willing to be in our highly competitive hierarchical society, to be vulnerable, in music, that's a good thing. vulnerability is a strength. sometimes just strength becomes a weakness. so, in fact, what we're not looking for is acceptance or success or whatever, but what we're looking for in life as well as in f

the economy. with this debate focused solely on foreign policy this is right in your wheelhouse. do you see it as a prime opportunity? you talk about good timing, especially with the poll numbers out this morning, can you show the american people you are most prepared to be commander in chief over the others on stage with you? >> i think people have to make that judgment themselves. i'm the only candidate who's been working with the u.s. army since 1979, the longest serving teacher in the senior military for one and two-star generals and admirals. i have a background in that area. but i think for the country it's good that you're hosting the debate on foreign policy and national security because as was mentioned earlier, these are much bigger issues. this isn't a governor's race. this is the presidency. when you start thinking about worldwide national security, economic security issues, the question of american sovereignty in a world where a lot of other countries would like to entangle us in their laws which are very often different from the american constitution, there are some

the news for years. not like he was grilled about a topic out of nowhere. foreign politics not herman cain's wheelhousea couple weeks ago, the controversy whether he knew or did not know that china had nuclear weapons. check out our brand new poll. cnn orc, herman cain, at 14%. a drop from a month ago. and newt gingrich above him, another gop candidate, 22% has jumped and basicsly in a tie with mitt romney for the top spot in the battle for the gop nomination. carol, seven weeks to go. seven weeks from today until the iowa caucuses and a whole new race, it seems, in the battle for the nomination. >> i mean, should anybody be surprised by this? herman cain has no political experience. right? he was a ceo of godfather's pizza. he's a very popular talk show host. it's not like he's thought about these foreign policy issues for months and months and months. so maybe some of his supporters will excuse this lapse. >> reporter: yeah. and he has been touting a long time he's not a normal politician. he's a businessman, and that helped the 9-9-9 plan helped him skyrocket in the polls, yes, when skyrocketing in

wheelhouse on foreign policy. i don't necessarily see that among any of the candidates, including the president.-- or where this is his strongest suit either. so whether you're talking about domestic policy, economic policy, or whether you're talking about foreign policy, i think we've been through a very difficult few years. >> p.j. crowley, when you're in the government in the middle of a campaign, does the criticism or suggestions in this case from the opposition help, hurt, or make no difference? >> well, i think this is obviously an issue across the political spectrum. everyone recognizes the potential danger of iran. and the difference between now and two years ago is centrifuges have continued to spin. there's clearly, you know -- iran continues its efforts to, you know, to build this enrichment capability and the distance between a civilian program which iran does have a right to, although it's outside of its responsibilities under the iaea. and a military program that distance becomes shorter. so as we go through this, this is a great concern. so i think it is perfectly appropriate acro

wheelhouse. maybe he's been studying up and will have a breakout performance. rick perry, the texas governor, was the front-runner in august but stumbled because of poor performances in debates. no doubt about that. we've seen it several times. some of the lower tier candidates, rick santorum and jon huntsman. a lot of foreign policy and national security experience. this may be a format for them to shine. who's in the bull's eye? gingrich and romney. they're the front-runners. when you're at the top, could you have more scrutiny. we could see that play out tonight. >> chris lawrence, you're an expert in foreign policy and national security. what's the one thing we should be watching for tonight? >> reporter: well, i think you know, some of the candidates obviously, you've got -- have different expectations. herman cain has to show he sort of has the chops to be commander in chief. that he has a firm understanding of foreign policy. look, even hope to the economy is far and away the number one issue for most americans heading into this next election, there's still a baseline t

the first caucus state. mitt romney is not going to today's jobs forum even though it is supposed to be in his wheelhouse asf-professed job creator and lifelong businessman. he is waging only small campaign in iowa. he will be absent even though it is his strong suit. herman cain is in d.c. for another round of media interviews. jon huntsman will give an interview in new hampshire. he is skipping iowa all together. martha: very interesting. larry sabato minutes away. thank you very much, carl cameron. >> we're only weeks away from the first big election contest going down in iowa. the candidates are zeroing in on four key states and larry sabato will talk about that. martha: they're illegal citizens in the state and they're being charged out-of-state tuition for college. they're filing a class-action lawsuit. very interesting case. plus this. >> put your hand out the window right now! put your hand out the window! turn around. turn around right now. turn around. bill: some would say don't allow the badge and gun to go to your head. a police officer arrested at gunpoint. m es me sad. oh common. and how can y
