good morning to you. it is thursday, august 11 now. this is "american morning." lot going on today. let's get right to it, folks. >> good morning, good morning. so much for comeback. haven't seen these kind of wild swings on wall street since the darkest days of the financial meltdown. the dow diving 520 points yesterday. this time fueled by fears or at least triggered by fears. that france is on a verge of a credit downgrade. every day it seems to be something new trying terg sell-off or the buying. that's because this is a global economy. your investments feel it here. wild swings. take a look at the week. monday the dow dropped 635 points. tuesday, it rebounded. picking up 430 points. yesterday the dow took it all back and then some with a drop of 520 points. drop of the s&p 500 has a percentage was greater. >> well, far from over, too. because this morning u.s. futures are weighing up and that had asian losses at a minimum. nikkei and shanghai closed down. markets in germany and france are in positive territory. >> let's get more of what we can expect. felicia taylor who has been covering all of this. i read the analysis of the biggest mutual funds. funds we all have in our 401-ks. >> if you are a holder of stocks for the long term this is the place to get in. there is no question about it. actually, you know, futures backed off a little bit. so there's nervousness in the marketplace. uncertainty. we are not going to get away from that. between haven't stepped away from the fundamentals. we have to keep looking at the economy and where we are heading and that's the problem. we haven't had any leadership in washington. >> but nobody has any money to invest. some americans do. christine was talking about it earlier. most people don't have the thousand bucks in case of an emergency saved up. most of america probably feels powerless looking at these wild market swings because there really isn't anything they can do or can they benefit from that? >> americans ha-- some american have been disciplined enough to squirrel the money away while they haven't been look. >> the stock market matters because what's happening in the stock market, confidence for business that's hire. what you can be seeing happening around -- >> exactly. i mean, this is exactly the point. i mean, if there is no confidence in the marketplace, there's no confidence in corporate america. that's a problem. corporate america is going to feed off of that. and that's what's going to help job opportunities. so that's where you need to seize confidence. that's the problem. if we don't have some kind of leadership and i'm going to go back to this point which i made a couple of points ago, frankly, you have got the french president coming back from his vacation. you've got the english prime minister coming back from his vacation. where's our president? i mean, frankly, it is enough. you need to have leadership in washington to start directing the ship. if we don't get that any time soon, where's the market going to go? they have no direction. we have heard from the federal reserve. we heard from the people that matter at this point. now we need to hear from the people that are sitting in washington directing this. >> the president met with ben bernanke, fed chief. >> but there was no message! there was nothing. >> a press release -- >> we met together. >> and talked about the economy jobs and jobs. we talked about the economy and jobs. >> you and i are talking about it. >> i will say one thing about your point of sitting on your hands as a regular investor. the professional investors, fund managers, hedge fund managers, compete against each other on a daily basis. that's very different than the goals of average people set. it just -- just because this is happening and driven by professional investors does not men that should be the same position you make. >> try that again. >> i don't have to mention my 401(k) on a daily basis. >> there is nothing the average person can do but sit back and watch. >> if you really piled up on gold and had 30% of your porl feet yo in gold, you may want to buy some of the that are deeply discounted. >> to give reassure nance the marketplace we are talking about the united states. these still are our companies that have great value. don't forget we had good corporate earnings and we are going to con to see good corporate earnings. there is value in the united states. there is no reason that people can't invest in treasuries that -- and gold is still a safe haven. >> can't afford to buy gold. >> you would be surprised. there are companies buying and storing gold for people for regular investors. >> the etfs. >> you don't have to buy gold bouillon. you can buy the etfs. >> oh, carol. >> you can school her during the break. >> we are waiting to find out who the final three democratic choices are going to be for the new congressional super committee. those picks will be made by nancy pelosi. she has until tuesday to announce her decision. i don't know if he have l take the entire time. 12-member panel began taking shape this past tuesday. senate majority leader harry reid selected patty murray of washington. baucus of montana. john kerry of massachusetts. yesterday on the gop side, house speaker john boehner chose congressman jeff henserley of texas. mitch mcconnell set up kyle of arizona. pat toomey of pennsylvania. rob portman of ohio. we will be talking to pat toomey later in the show. >> once the committee set they have to agree on $5.5 trillion of spending cuts within 90 days. john avalon is not sure they will be able to accomplish that. he believes congress is up to the usual tricks based on picks. he will explain when he joins us at 7:30 eastern. 8:00 eastern, we will be joined by one of the new super committee members, republican senator pat toomey of pennsylvania will ask where he sees room for compromise when it comes to raising revenues. >> also new, payback in afghanistan. u.s. officials say a precision air strike killed the taliban leader and insurgent who shot down a military helicopter last weekend. 30 americans and eight afghans died in that chopper crash. the pentagon now says that 17 of the victims were navy s.e.a.l.s. not 22 as previously reported. the pentagon now says that the names of all 30 u.s. service members killed will be released as soon as today. a jerry rigged bomb tied to a gas line in rural oklahoma. the fbi and bomb squad actually used a water cannon to take the device out before it exploded. the cooked-up bomb had a windup clock with a propane -- propane and black powder. it is now in an fbi lab. >> london's top police spokesman is now on extended leave as the news corp hacking scandal grows. looking into possible misconduct. his ties to former "news of the world" executives. staff of the paper accused of hacking into thousands of people's echlts mail, slug celebrities, politicians. yesterday the ceo rupert murdoch said this was isolated to "news of the world." we are a big company, globe am brand. his personal wealth has taken a big hit with that stock being slammed. >> president obama hosting his third iftar dinner last night marking the end of ramadan. 100 guests on hand including two muslim american congressmen, two muslim american nfl players, israel's ambassador to the united states. now is your chance to talk back on one of the big stories of the day. the question this morning, does hollywood making an bin laden movie warrant a congressional investigation? the question, like everything else, has become a political hot potato. the sad thing, since osama bin laden's death was so unifying. >> tonight i can report to the american people and to the world that the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden. >> i mean, remember the people celebrated? it was a secret mission that played out like a hollywood movie. don't you know it, it will be released in october of 2012. just ahead of the november elections. republican representative peter king is outrage. >> talking about information that could put american lives at risk. what the administration has done. >> he's calling for a congressional investigation to find out if hollywood is getting special access to classified information. the white house says "please." >> first of all the claims are ridiculous. when people, including you, in this room are working on articles, books, documentaries, movies that involve the president p. ask to speak to administration officials we do our best to accommodate them to make sure the facts ring correct. >> it is not like the white house is giving hollywood permission to use the bin laden death photos or video of him being buried at sea. for those keeping score, it has been three months since bin laden was killed and come 2012, it will be opening at a theater near you. >> the question this morning, does hollywood making a bin laden movie warrant a congressional investigation? facebook.com/americanmorning. i will read your comments. >> leo mccarthy-like. >> hasn't -- >> don't you think? >> pentagon has been working with movies since world war ii, you know, on continuity. >> peter king makes stuff up all the time. peter king, when had says just -- because he says something was wrong doesn't mean it is. peter king needs to get into the habit of putting the evidence out in front and then talking about it as opposed to saying did washington release secret information? just because peter king woke up in the morningis and and thinks it happened does not mean it happened. i like peter king he has been very helpful. >> usually it is -- it is the government trying to make sure that it has control over what's going on with something going on. i think even the "hunt for red october" they had to scrub interiors of the movie set to make sure nothing that looked like classified information could go out on the air. you think about all those kinds of movies the government is involved. >> if you are listening, call in. >> coming up on "american morning," order in the streets. police in britain restoring calm after four days of rioting in london and beyond. parliament about to hold a debate on the crisis in an emergency session. >> massive hunt suspect that outweighed and outmaneuvered washington cops. >> tiger woods tees off today in the pga championship. we are live in georgia with a look just ahead. 12 minutes past the hour.

>> reporter: yes. big, big test of david cameron today. it feels like a calm after the storm here in the united kingdom. the other night it was a lot calmer across the u.k. people be bewildered. david cameron will address that in parliament. they have been brought back from holiday to debate this issue today. fundamental question is -- is david cameron right to say there are pockets of british society that are sick? in a way lots of people suggesting he is writing off the pockets of society. is there a fundamental problem with british society? sit fundamentally broken? that's the big debate here. the backdrop here as well, as you know, wall street has been affected by this austerity cuts across europe. european economy in a terrible state. there have to be cutbacks. one of the areas the british government is planning to cutback on is the police service. billions of dollars worth of cuts there. can he justify that, christine, after these riots? it is a big, big question. >> max, another big question is just why? i'm sure that your friends in and colleagues are answer thing question. we here are looking at america's best friend and -- an ally picking up the pieces and picking through the wreckage. we don't know why. hearing a lot of discussion, particularly among economists that say you look at the kids who are rioting and you hear the complaint about austerity or the jobs market. but aren't they too young to really feel it? is that an excuse? can we blame the economy for this? >> reporter: multilayers is what everyone says about this. if you want the simplistic arguments they are there. extreme left. it will be extreme right. people talking about parenting and being a problem. lot of these areas. do you have absent parents, working parents full time. do you have problem was joblessness. and literacy. there is a link there because you have those problems in the areas where these riots are taking place. the extreme left, you are having a situation where they are blaming the austerity cuts over time. cutbacks for a fundamental problem in the society. the other end of the scale you have people suggesting actually the liberal policy agenda in this country is the problem. it has been too soft on crime. we should have been tougher a lot sooner. who will win that debate? there are lots in the middle groun ground. it will be interesting to see how david cameron does. >> great analysis. multilayered is great way to look at it and i think, max, thank you. it is interesting that both extremes are using this to further their own -- that sounds familiar. >> no. >> interesting analysis. >> i was watching "wakeup call" this morning and could not get my eyes off of this video. police have to deal with a lot of bull sometimes but in washington state a couple thousand pounds. this bull, like a real one, eluded police for a half hour. why is there ball in the street? charged a couple of folks that were unlucky enough to be on the road. eventually they called in the cowboys. they were actual cowboys that were able to lasso the big guy from the hood of the parole car. weird. >> i love that. >> come on. >> i actually have lassoed a cow. >> have you really? >> yes. it is fun. >> i envy those cowboys. rob marciano, i'm sure you lassoed a few bulls or two. >> reporter: good morning, guys. sorry. missed that part but i saw a bull or heard about a bull running across the screen. i can just imagine. we are live at the pga championship north of atlanta, georgia. final major of the year. and yesterday we told you and showed you just what it takes to get this golf course into shape. and -- a little bit of news this morning. yesterday was a phenomenal day yesterday with low dew points. late in the evening when they were cutting the greens on 14th and 17th specifically some of the equipment in and one of the mowers dmug the green a-- dug i green and did some damage. i spoke to the man in charge. he says the only thing he can figure out there was a jump in dew point and moistures came up a little bit late in the day. that may have to have hing? to do with it. we assured that damage has been repaired. we will check it out later today. he's always going -- heat will always be an issue. talk about the pga championship. especially when it is this far south. and all of the marquee players were in the press tank yesterday giving their interviews and -- press conferences. tiger and rory being two highlights of the day. they both spoke about the heat. >> hotter at home. this is -- this is nice. it is not so hot here. i'm looking forward to it. i had a nice tournament at tulsa when i was -- you know, over 110 that week. hopefully this will be a similar success. >> major championships are long enough weeks anyway with everything that's going on. so -- you know, add in the extra heat as well, you just have to be very careful. you know, your practice and make sure you don't overdo it leading into the tournament. then when you are on the course just making sure you are taking plenty of fluids onboard. >> reporter: there you go. to the marquee players. tiger living in florida. little bit more used to the heat. rory from northern ireland maybe not so much. low levels of humidity yesterday. an unusual day in atlanta in august. today and tomorrow and going forward i think we will get back to more in the way of humidity. here is the forecast. today, first round of play. culminating sunday, of course. 95 to 96 degrees is what we expect for a high temperature. we inincrease the chancrease th chances of showers. going forward, same deal. lesser chances tomorrow. saturday and sunday we have a front that's trying to come through. that may increase the chances for rain at that time. tiger tees off around 8:30. as you know, he's looking for -- still looking for a full-time caddie. i put in my caplication. at that press conference he did not announce that i got the job. we will keep you posted on that. >> i thought you were our full-time weather caddie. how do we get by without our weather caddie? >> reporter: these guys work weekends. i can moonlight. no problem. >> we will see new a little while when the sun comes up. coming up on this "american morning," can raw sewage save a texas town running out of drinking water?

vicksburg. this is the spring in big spring. more than 100 years ago it was a popular watering hole for settlers heading west. those days are long gone. you won't believe what people around here are having to do now to find drinking water. crews are now building a $13 million water treatment plant that will turn sewage waste water into drinking water by the end of next year. treated raw sewage

about three inches of rain in the last year. the drought is drying out the areas in the reservoirs. this is what's left of the spence reservoir. the only source of drinking water for the nearby town of robert lee. problem is that there's less than 1% of the water left. the mayor says that the water situation is so dire that his town could run out of water in six months. emergency pipeline is in the works. he thinks turning waste water into drinking water is the future. on the surface of it, that doesn't sound appealing, does it? >> not appealing. >> this is the water we are going to be picking up and -- taking it back through the new water treatment plant we are building. >> reporter: this new water treatment plant will provide 2 million gallons of water every day. john grant predicts people will really like it. you are saying this process is -- could make it better? >> it could. good a quality water. >> reporter: john grant says he will be the first in line to pour himself a glass. ed lavandara, texas. >> i'm told that in nasa, in space, they recycle waste for water. if it is good enough for astronauts, must be good enough for us. >> it happens more than people are prepared to think. i would venture most americans don't give a whole lot of thought to what comes out of their tap. >> are you kidding? i think they do. definitely. >> comes out of the tap. >> we just recently built that up. >> don't think much about where your water comes from. >> british prime minister david cameron is making a amount to parliament about the rioting. let's listen. >> i tried to speak to many of the members who constituencies have been affected. i would like to pay particular prib u-- pay tribute. what we have seen on the streets of london and other cities, across our country is is completely unacceptable. i'm sure the whole house will join me in condemning it. keeping people safe is the first duty of government. the whole country has been shocked by the most appalling scenes of people looting, violence, and vandalizing, and thievery. it is criminality pure and simple. there's absolutely no excuse for it. we have seen houses, shops the raided and torched. fire crews you a tacked as they tried to put out fires. we have seen people robbing others while they lie injured and bleeding in the streets. even nonpeople being deliberately run over and killed. mr. perfect, we will not put up with this in our country. we will not allow a culture of fear exists on our streets. and we will do whatever it takes to restore law and order and rebuild our communities. first we must be clear about the sequence of events. a week ago today the 29-year-old man was shot dead by the police. clearly there are questions that must be answered and i can assure the house that this is being investigated thoroughly and independently by the ipcc. we must get to the bottom of exactly what happened and we will. mr. speaker, initially there were peaceful demonstrations following his death. understandably and quite appropriately, the police were cautious about how they dealt with this. however, this was the news as an excuse by opportunist thugs and gangs. across london and then in other cities. it is completely wrong to say that there's any justifiable causal link. it is simply preposterous for anyoning to suggest people looting over the weekend still less three days later where in any way doing so because of the death of mark duggan. the young people stealing flat screen televisions and burning shops, that was not about politics or protests p.m. it was about theft. mr. speaker, in recent days, individual police officers have shown incredible bravery and in some cases worked around the clock without a break. they deserve our support and our thanks. what became increasingly clear earlier this week was that there was simply far too few police deployed on to our streets and the tactics they were using weren't working. police chiefs have been frank with me about why this happened. and initially the police treated the situation too much as a public order issue rather thanes lynn one of crime. the truth is that the police have been facing a new and unique challenge. with different people doing the same thing basically looting and in different places but all at the same time. mr. speaker, to respond to this situation, we are acting decisively to restore order on our streets and support the victims of this terrible violence and to look at the deeper problems that have led to such a hard-core of young people to decide to carry out such appalling criminality. let me take each in turn. first restoring order. following the meetings of cobra which i chaired tuesday and wednesday and again this morning, we have taken decisive action to help ensure more robust and more effective policing. because of decisions made by metropolitan police commissioner and other police chiefs up and down the country, there are now more police on the streets, more people being arrested and more criminals being prosecuted. the metropolitan police increased the number deployed on the streets of london from 6,000 to almost 16,000 officers. this number will remain throughout the weekend. we have also seen the large increases in deployment of officers in other affected areas. leave effective force has been cancelled and police officers have been across the country to areas of greatest need. and many businesses have also quite rightly i released special cuts of this to help and performed mag -- magnificently as well. more 00 people have been arrested. we are making technology work for us by capturing the images of the perpetrators on tv. even if they haven't yet been arrested their faces are known and they will not escape the law. as i said yesterday, no human rights concerns about publishing these photographs will get in the way of bringing these criminals to justice. anyone charged -- >> it is interesting that he said it wasn't the lack of police officers or the -- police cuts that led to the infective use of police force, you know, to arrest the rioters, rather they were using the wrong tactics. >> then -- said, though, they are bussing them in from all over the place. clearly there was some shortage of police officers. he said they are coming in from all over the place and everybody -- have a lot of video, obviously, in london, streets. anybody whos hasn't been arrested they will find them and arrest them. david cameron insisting that this is about hooligan its. >> many the most compelling people urging calm are not the leaders of the country. it is the people who are residents of the country. if we have the sound of the father of one of the kids who was killed in the hit-and-run, listen to how he pleads with his country to just fix this. >> we live in the same community. why do we have to kill one another? what's escalating the riots? why are we doing this? i lost my son. step forward if you want to lose your sons. otherwise calm down. go home. >> i mean, i think -- the voices like that are the most compelling in this whole argument. you can see politicians talk and posture. >> also interesting nobody quite knows why this is happening. everybody is like going through these soul-searching like how did this suddenly happen? that's the weirdest part to me. >> cameron said simultaneous crimes in different parts of the country. i mean, that's what's really -- >> i think it would be great to talk to economists and sociologists about this but i think many tell you it doesn't suddenly happen. it is an environment that creates -- >> one day. cities across your country. >> we will keep following it for you. >> sarah palin's one nation bus tour ready to roll. the

>> exact. >> i we need to find out from people who are buying and selling the stocks. why they are doing it and when they think lit stop. >> i have been talking to people around the world and asking that exact question. when is the buy-in point. they are not ready yet. there's just simply too much uncertainty. that remains in the marketplace. they are not confirmed as to when the united states is going to actually issue some kind of direction as to where we are going in this global crisis is that the -- i kept hearing yesterday that it was really because of the global markets that are -- stock market went wendt on a roller coaster ride yesterday. >> it is a global market. no question about it. we haven't seen this kind of a market really in near terms. when you hear rumors about france and possibly being downgraded, that, of course, is a concern. hate to say it but three, four years ago we wouldn't have cared about a -- >> france's credit rate. >> we wouldn't have known or cared. but we do today because what that means is that there's global contagion. we have already heard the united states has been downgraded. we never heard that -- totally unprecedented. completely unheard of. when you hear things like that and rumors back in the marketplace, people are concerned. they don't know what to do or where to go. that's why you see the tick-up in gold. what's interesting this morning is gold has flattened out. people are sitting literally on the sidelines and waiting to hear what is going to happen. so i'm heading down to the nine next just a few minutes. we will see what's happening. it is still an open outcry situation which is interesting. we will see what happens in the mark totes see if that's a statement in play. >> it is a good trading bid because like you said open outcry, you have real people making trades. you don't have to keep on guessing about the computers. >> exactly. right. >> all right. >> thank you, as always. the cries are growing loud they are morning from law makers to get back to washington and for the president to show a little more leadership. check out the op-ed page in "the wall street journal." these are difficult days for our president. buffeted by events. he looks weak, dazed and over his head. this in p "washington post." sound of confidence in obama's leadership breaking. events keep screaming the that the president is weak, weak, weak. >> compare that to events in the uk. david cameron cutting short a vacation in italy dealing with riots in london. french president sarkozy interrupting a vacation to call an emergency meeting in paris over the economic crisis. here in america, president obama is preparing to take a ten-day vacation next week in martha's vineyard after he goes on a midwest bus tour to campaign for his re-election. talked with david gergen about it last night on "a.c. 360." >> i think what americans are looking for now is seriousness in washington and, frankly, that's not going to come from some bus tour on a campaign trail for the president. i think a lot of -- growing number of people think he ought to get off the campaign trail and pull people together and see if he can't get some answer of -- bipartisan answer on jobs. >> kind of is unacceptable washington is not fully on this right now and that the president is out there giving speeches in the heartland as he plans to. this is a crisis. had had a meeting with ben bernanke today and all the white house did was release a statement to say he had a meeting with ben bernanke and that they talked about jobs and economy. everybody is talking about jobs and the economy. we need guidance and solution. we need confidence. >> just how confident are you that washington can solve these economic woes?

>> you know, i don't think i have ever seen john avalon that worked up. >> stop it. >> all right. look, the first thing that's important to say is that the people who are saying nothing is going to happen here. actually have a good case to make. because we are going into an election year and there's -- you know, six and six on this committee equally between democrats and republicans which would make it hard to get a tiebreaker. now also, the -- the wings are well represented on this committee. right wing, left wing. and among the names we have seen, people like senator pat toomey, the republican out of pennsylvania, this is a guy who has been very much interested keeping taxes down and keeping government under control. when he worked, you know, at a -- think tank here in the washington, d.c., area, club for growth. senator patty murray is a democrat. she has had a lot of people going after her because she works for the -- democratic senatorial campaign committee and they are all about protecting entitlements which something else that people would want to have on the table to talk about this. yes. i mean, these are people that come from their -- party's bases on the other hand, i don't know want to paint a rosy scenario but there may be potential for compromise. john kerry, rob portman, fred upton of michigan, even maybe max baucus, the senate finance committee chairman, those are people that may be able to get a deal. >> those triggers built in, joe, triggers built in, if they don't compromise, are pretty painful. i mean, people -- >> absolutely. military seniors would feel it if these guys and -- patty murray, a woman can not figure it out. >> right. and they will look like failures, too. that's all it -- something to consider. people that are very powerful in washington, d.c. and would very much like to walk away from this looking good. although it is very hard to see how they will do that. >> joe johns, thanks so much. we will talk to pat toomey later and talk to -- i mean -- could he ever agree to raise taxes? i mean, he will say -- >> no. >> no, no, no. >> interesting thing is all six of those republicans signed a no tax pledge. >> pat toomey signed -- pat toomey didn't vote for the agreement. >> but can you get tax increases in exchange for real tax reform? and a promise to do tax reform. >> that's an interesting point. >> wrestling over what the definition is of raising taxes. really -- like -- right now, the definition is anything that would raise taxes. anything. like subsidies and anything. >> good discussion. tune in for it. we will talk to pat toomey. the other big storey we are following is british parliament holding a rare emergency session this morning to deal with the country's worst rioting in decades? massive, massive show of police force helping to restore calm in the streets of london and other cities after four days of violence and looting. drew an emotional plea from a father whose son was killed in the rioting. >> would y do we have to kill one another? what's escalating the riots? why are we doing this? i lost my son. step forward if you want to lose your sons. otherwise calm down. go home. >> very powerful. british prime minister david cameron just wrapped up and addressed parliament and said police will do whatever it takes to end the lawlessness. zero tolerance policy to lawmakers moments ago. >> keeping people safe is the first duty of government. whole country has been shocked by the most appalling scenes of people looting, violence, vandalizing and thievery. criminality, pure and simple. there is absolutely no excuse for it. >> cnn's max foster live in london for us right now. max, give us a sense from your perspective about what's happening, have things calmed down dramatically? and what we think the root cause of this rioting has been. >> certainly things have calmed down and just been -- whole load of emergency court appearances while this has been going on. fast tracking all of the offenders through the court system. certainly it calmed down on the streets. as you say, they are now analyzing what went wrong in britain this week. and the prime minister making it very clear he thinks it is not about politics. he thinks it is about culture. problem was parenting and schooling and certain areas. in the heart of all of this, he talked about gang culture being the main problem. young men from dysfunctional families. he referenced los angeles and what lessons could be learned from there. interestingly he's talking about culture here. couple of interesting decisions he decided to try to make in terms of looking tough on this. and he is saying he wants the police to have greater powers in dealing with social media. people using twitter, facebook, criminal activity. clamped down on that and police, social media, which has wide repercussi repercussions. also given the police powers to ask people to remove face masks if they are convicted and suspected, reasonable suspicion, of criminality. lot of the kids have scarves over their faces. that will cause a big debate among human rights groups in relevant tiger woods face masks. as in face veils that a lot of women wear. >> it is inning that -- cameron was very, very clear, though, he feels that this is -- i don't know, hooliganism and felt it was lawlessness. he's not giving an inch on the idea that some -- not a small percentage is due to economic concerns or -- unemployment among youth. we heard from the victim's father that sort of sent out the plea to say keep your kids off the road or you could lose them. >> yes. speaking to think tanks and youth workers say a lot of it is purely economics. what david cameron is saying that starts with schooling and parenting. letting people feel as if they have prospects and a stake in the system. he has talked in the past about sick segments on society and wants to crack down on them. that's causing some people on the left to suggest that -- actually he's not addressing the fundamental problem here. he is in the middle ground but certainly trying to tackle it head on. >> max, thanks very much. we will continue to follow the story with you. max foster in london. now is your chance to talk back on one of the stories of the day. the question this morning, does hollywood making a bin laden movie warrant a congressional investigation? the question like everything else has become a political hot potato. a sad thing since bin laden's death was so unifying. >> tonight i can report to the american people and to the world that the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden. >> usa! usa! >> remember that? remember how people celebrated? it was a secret mission that played out like a hollywood movie. don't you know it, a hollywood movie about it will be released in october of 2012 just ahead of the november elections. republican representative peter king is outraged. >> we are talking about revealing classified information that could put american lives at risk. what the administration has done. >> king called for a congressional investigation to find out if hollywood is getting that special access to classified information. the white house says "please." >> first of all, the claims are ridiculous. when people, including you, in this room are working on articles, books, documentaries, movies that involve the president, ask to speak to administration officials we do our best to accommodate them to make suring the facts are correct. >> it is no like the white house is giving hollywood permission to use bin laden death photos or the video of bin laden being buried at sea. for those of you keeping score at home, it has been a little over three months since bin laden was killed. come 2012 the story of that top secret mission will be opening at a theater near you. does hollywood making a bin laden movie warrant a congressional investigation?

>> good morning. as you said this is really potentially very exciting. let me tell what you the researchers did. they took three people with leukemia and these were people who had chemotherapy and the cancer had come back. the only option was a bone marrow transplant that could kill them and not do anything for their cancer. the doctor said -- can we pick a different way to do this? they took the patient's own cells and turned them into assassins. genetically modified the cells and imagine a bunch of cells running around with little machine guns going to kill the cancer cells. it appears to have worked. they had a very big -- gave it to the patients. within a couple of weeks they saw that it was working against their cancer. and right now at least two of those three are in remission. this is, you know, really exciting finding being published. >> what is the -- we always ask you, what's the likelihood of this going forward? if it were to be proved to work, when might somebody be able to use this? >> right. this is just three patients. that's the really -- very small. and we don't know if it is going to work important more patients, between don't know if it will work for people with other kinds of cancer. and they have been -- you know, they have seen that they have gotten better and it has been about a year. it is possible that the cancer could come back because of the way it did before. there's lots of caution here. this seems to be at least in some ways proof of principle that this technique could work possibly for other people. >> fascinating if it turns out to be successful. that would be quite a breakthrough. great to see you. >> thanks. nine of the 12 members of the new congressional super-committee have been selected. a lot of people are already skeptical about the committee's chances of reaching a compromise deal on the spending cuts. let's bring in our cnn contributor ask resident independent john avalon, columnist with "newsweek" and daily beast. joining us live from washington, ron brownstein, se"national journal." welcome to you both. >> good morning. >> super-committee is coming together. we have all the republicans named now. every single one of them signed governor grover's tax pledge, no new taxes under any circumstances. so when you look at the makeup of this committee -- i'm not just singling out republicans here, because there are democrats on the extremes that what -- no cuts to entitlements. as you look at this committee, super-committee, i know nancy pelosi has yet to name her selections, he is ready to explode already. i can tell by your face. go ahead and explode. >> look, insanity, defernition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. that's why what we see from the committee selections. selection process by the party leaders because the s&p downgrade, specifically cited brinkmanship. the only way goat past that is through bipartisan compromise. two independent groups got together to pose debt reform over the past year. bull simpson connection and gang of six. gang of six members were all systematically excluded from this commission. the only members of the bull simpson commission appointed voted against it. that's an incredibly cynical move by the party leadership and sets up a committee to fail. we all need to succeed. >> do you have a -- at least a bit of a brighter outlook on this? there are some lawmakers, according to the committee, rob portman, a republican, he is known to compromise a bit. john kerry, also known to compromise. >> the omission of the gang of six is a conspicuous signal here that they did not pick anyone -- either senate leader picked anyone that's affirmtily known for challenging their party on these issues. on the other hand, the signal signal here, you have members that in various ways have shown willingness to work with the other party. fred upton, chair of the energy and commerce committee, republican, has been moderate. you can see moderate in the past. rob portman has been seen as someone that worked with republicans. max baucus. he did vote against the bulls proposal did engage in extensive negotiations on health care. john kerry worked with republicans on environmental issues. even jon kyl who is close to the leadership needs some effort with democrats on immigration in 2007. he was in the central position there. you do have people who have some history there. i would say that this is -- dynamic today is exactly as john said where you would not point to this committee and say they are being positioned towards success. political dynamics may change between now and november. you have people who have shown some flexibility and ability to change -- move with those changing values. >> wait a minute. nancy pelosi has yet to announce her picks. i don't even know what i want to ask. john, i will ask you. is there hope that her appointments will be sort of a compromise? will they be willing to compromise? >> you always hope for the best. prepare for the worst. nancy pelosi has already said she wants to appoint people that will oppose entitlement reforms because that will get in the way of her election strategy. you have a special committee that's been formed because congress couldn't come to an agreement. grand bargain on the real issues that matter. tax reform, entitlement reform. both parties are position for 2012 and want to run against those things. this is what we need to put our nation back into sound fiscal footing. is a large plan that can reduce long-term deficit and debt and this committee -- 78% of americans in the poll said they were frustrated with the way our political system the working. this process is now exhibit a for the dysfunction in washington, d.c. >> something else, of course, people are frustrated about. ron, i will ask you this. they want congress to cut come back from break and get to work and try to do something about this economic mess we are in. i mean, aren't lawmakers hearing their pleas? don't they care? >> well, i don't know. i mean, i think, look, specifically on this super committee which is a great opportunity to deal with the long-term issue because of the special rules set up around it to give proposals, expedited consideration, this will take a while. not something you can bake overnight. i don't think there is much to be served by bringing them back here in august to bang heads against each other. the real issue to me on all of these questions, both deficit and the -- whether we have some further efforts to stimulate the economy is whether outside forces ultimately change the internal calculations that as we see are what cynical and in the appointments to this committee. you are looking at abysmal poll numbers for the congress and institutions in general and the president. you have the risk that not -- other rating agencies will follow s&p and downgrade u.s. debt if this committee goes off the rails. you have the verdict of the stock markets rendering every day on the status of the american economy. all of those things inspire to put more pressure on the committee to do more than seems possible today by the time they get ready -- >> you see the stock market like -- acted like a roller coaster and freaking everybody out. >> this is the larger issue. it used to be -- we could depend on a cries toys unite our politicians to do the right thing. now we have the political crisis which created a real fiscal crisis and still can't get them on the same page to say let's put forward the members that have shown a record of being able to reason together. rescue for failure and need this to succeed. >> i will end with this. howard kurtz says now that the super-committee has been picked shouldn't the rest of congress go home for the year? what do they have to do anyway? ron, you wonder what are they going to do. it is up to is super-committee. >> you do feel given where the president is, it is hard to imagine he's not going to come back this fall with some more ambitious ideas on a spurring the economy than he put forward so far. i think the republicans probably will want to match him. it is funny. you may see the super-committee going down one track of long-term deficit reduction. yet, the administration and congress moving towards a stimulus plan that would have a short-term deficit empact impace other direction. it may be that it is quiet the rest of the way. when you look at the numbers both sides are facing at this point, that would be a strong political bet that hold your hand where you are now. given the enormous anxiety. historic anxiety we are seeing among the public. >> we have to end it there. it has been quite entertaining. passionate. i love that. thank you so much. we will be joined by one of the new committee members, republican senator pat toomey of pennsylvania. we will see if he agrees with you two. that comes your way in the 8:00 hour of "american morning." >> great, great conversation. i have to say, you know, i think these two guys are some of the smartest. think there's something to be said about congress to come back. we proved with this debt debate, carol, that they won't do anything ahead of time. they can't get things done in a timely manner. i know you and i have not been on the same side of this issue. i have come entirely over to your side on this. i think they need to get back and get work done. >> i think congress should come back as -- as a symbol if nothing else. the president, on the other hand, everybody is saying where is the president? the president can't do anything without congress. >> for the time being he has been there. whether he should be campaigning next week is another story or going on vacation after that. great conversation. thank you. still to come, drinking water growing scarce in parts of texas. there is a solution a local rev locals finding the solution hard to swallow. at exxon and mobil, we engineer smart gasoline that works at the molecular level to help your engine run more smoothly by helping remove deposits and cleaning up intake valves. so when you fill up at an exxon or mobil station, you can rest assured we help your engine run more smoothly while leaving behind cleaner emissions. it's how we make gasoline work harder for you. exxon and mobil. ♪ let me make you smile ♪ let me do a few tricks ♪ some old and then some new tricks ♪ ♪ i'm very versatile ♪ so let me entertain you ♪ and we'll have a real good time ♪ [ male announcer ] with beats audio and flash, you can experience richer music and download movies straight to the new hp touchpad with webos. thanks. >> welcome back to "american morning." jerry rigged bomb tied to a gas line, the fbi, bomb squad actually used a water cannon to take the device out before it explodes. it had a windup clock with proceed camplain and bla-- prop and black powder. >> the news corp. phone hacking scandal grows. investigators looking into possible misconduct. staff at the newspaper are accused of hacking into thousands of people's voice mails including politicians, celebrities, and terror victims. right now parts of texas are running dry. reservoirs are vanishing and drinking water is growing scarce. the situation is desperate. there may absolution. one that many texans are finding hard to stomach. here is ed lavandara. >> in this withering west texas patch, oil still flows. problem is you can't drink water. finding water is getting tougher. which brings us to the town of v big spring. it was a popular watering hole for settlers heading west. those days are long gone. you won't believe what people are having to do to find drinking water. crews are now building a $13 million water treatment plan that will turn sewage waste water into drinking water by the end of next year. treated raw sewage water, lake water and treated again three times in all. >> i will never drink it. >> reporter: the idea still doesn't taste right to a lot of people. >> that's not a good idea at all. no. if they do we are going to have to leave town. >> reporter: really?

can bring yourself to do that? i mean in that a good way. >> i understand. i think there should be two big guiding principles. i hope for all of us, certainly for me, one is that we absolutely got to do something meaningful to reduce our deficits. whatever we do has to be constructive for the economy. it has to help to create an environment for greater economic growth because we badly need the kr job creation that only comes with growth. a big tax increase does not come with growth. is it outrageous when a huge american corporation doesn't pay any income taxes? yes, it is. i think there are a lot of opportunities to compromise without having some kind of economically crushing tax increase. >> senator, this committee doesn't have much time to completely reform the tax code. >> right. >> the loopholes for corporations and the like. you're going to have to decide in short order how to come up with a trillion and a half dollars. would you agree to tax increases of some sort in that plan, in that package if you are assured later on tax reform is something this congress is going to start to handle? >> look. i think we need to deal with the tax reform that we can in this package. now, it's going to be difficult, you're right. we are under a compressed time frame. i think it's likely that what we are going to do as a committee is look at other ideas that have already been floated, ideas that have been vetted, ideas that are thoughtful and constructive and have some broad political support, rather than, you know, reinventing wheels in a short period of time, i think we are going to look to some good work that has been done and there has been some very good bipartisan work on tax reform as well as entitlement reform and spending reduction. a lot out there. we have to pull it together. >> are you referring to the bowles-simpson report something you might turn to? >> personally, i think we ought to take a look at the ideas in that because there were some constructive ideas. if you look what their main focus was on the tax side, for instance, it was mostly about getting rid of some of the really egregious deductions and loopholes and carveouts and lowering marginal rates. that is pro growth if you do that sort of thing. there are other groups out there. >> a lot of people ask about the mortgage interest reduction. should that be on the table? >> i'm not going to draw lines in the sand here and have negotiations on a tv show. with all due respect, i think this is something the committee needs to address. my point simply is that some very good and constructive and thoughtful work has been done. there are well vetted ideas. part of our responsibility, i think, is to look at these ideas and consider whether they should be part of a final package. >> senator, with all due respect, back to you, some of us think the negotiations on tv might be more successful than the ones in congress. how do we make sure the 12 of you are not a miniversion of the gridlock we saw? i don't think anybody wants to see a repeat of what we just went through. >> all right. that's a fair question. i've been very critical of the lack of productivity in the senate and the fact the senate has ro -- one of the things going for us in this committee is a process that requires an up and down vote on our product. that is unprecedented. no other committee has that opportunity. so if we can reach a majority in the committee, the house has to vote on our bill without amendment, without delay. the senate has to take up our bill and a simple majority have to vote it up and down. there is no filibuster opportunity. the leadership can't block it. we have actually a lot of pressure on us to come up with some kind of an agreement that will be constructive and congress has to vote up or down on it. frankly, if we pass it in both houses of the congress, i think the president will sign it. so i think we will feel a lot of pressure to get something done. >> the irs has released its numbers for 2009 that show just 3% of taxpayers who make more than $200,000 a year and only 0.2% make more than $1 million a year. the whole idea is if you raise taxes on the richest part our society, it would not affect 97% of people. do you think that we need to be talking about -- or are we being honest about how many people are affected by tax increases for wealthy americans? >> we should be honest about every aspect of this debate but we also should be honest about the fact of raising marginal tax rates are counterproductive to tax growth. it sdourgs investment and risk taking and job creation. it's a tax that will land heavily on small business. i think we ought to be, you know, honest will all aspects of this discussion. >> so let me ask you this. >> guiding ideas ought to be deficit reduck shawn is pro growth. >> good point but we haven't seen a tax increase in a long time. >> cutting taxes for ten years. >> we haven't seen the job creation. >> right. >> where is the the evidence not cutting taxes creates jobs? we haven't seen it. >> let's remember after cutting taxes in 2003 we had a tremendous job creation. unemployment rate dropped below 5% and recently as 2007 our federal deficit under the current tax regime was only 1.2% of gdp, a tiny fraction of where it is now. look. i think a lot can be done to improve the tax code and make it more sensible and more fair and lower marginal rates and if we do that we will have stronger growth and more revenue as a result. i think we have to focus on deficit reduction that is -- >> how much pressure do you feel from wall street the fact that so many people who have been looking for guidance from washington are getting killed in their 401(k)s and i.r.a.s this year? >> i don't feel any pressure from wall street. i feel it from main street, feel it from my constituents i meet in pennsylvania every day. they want us to make progress and get ourselves on a fiscal path. we have very weak economic data. i think we are overregulated in many respects so a lot of things need to be addressed but an important piece of this is our looming deficits and people i talk to in pennsylvania want us to address that. >> senator pat toomey, good to talk to you. he is a republican and member of the super committee and have a busy few months. >> senator, do you think that congress should come back from its recess? >> you know, i wouldn't oppose that. you know, there's a lot of things we should have been doing all along, starting with having a budget resolution, but absence of a budget resolution has all kinds of negative consequences. there are things that we should have done a long time ago in expanding, ratifying the trade gremts and expand export opportunities. i think we should have a moratorium on new regulations so small businesses can thrive. there's a lot of things we could do on the tax front. we have a big spending bill we have to take up. some of this should have been done before now. i don't know why it's taken as long as it has. and the committee, i can say, i can tell you will be doing work during the month of august certainly by phone, probably in person. so there will be a lot that is getting done. >> so just to make it clear. you i think your fellow lawmakers should cut short their recess and come on back to washington? >> if we have a pro growth to pass i would be in favor of that. unfortunately we have a majority leader in the senate didn't want to up a budget. if we can't do anything constructive, there is not much point. >> interesting. everyone has a different -- i have a constructive -- of the agenda but he would think that was -- do you know what i mean? it's all in eye of the beholder. >> senator, it was very interesting. thank you. now is your chance to talk back on another story of the day. does hollywood making a bin laden movie warranty a congressional investigation?
