i'm not sure what was set up. i was told they are meeting with us and we think that is great. >> gregg: we begin with julie banderas who has been following the story. >> julie: after reestablishing cooperation with the parents, a meeting with them, police continue to search for baby lisa. this time in her parents' yard. armed with metal detecters, they scoured the front and backyard of her parents' home. investigators also went into the house to look for any new clues canvassing the neighborhood, they knocked on doors talking to neighbors who might have seen or heard anything on monday night to tuesday morning. >> we have a list of every resident in the neighborhood. we don't just knock and move on on. we track it. we log who we've spoken to. i can only assume we will keep going to places that we haven't had a answer and keep trying. >> julie: there are reports police questioned and collected a dna sample from a teenage neighbor of the parents on friday but authorities are not commenting. that neighbor was apparently at the home the day lisa vanished. they knew the access code to the family's garage. her parents say she was snatched from her crib. the mother of the

week in the investigation into that botched federal gun running scheme called fast and furious. a chorus of critics want to know want to know what eric holder knew and when he knew it. steve is live in washington. what more do we know more about the new subpoenas? >> reporter: the new subpoenas from darrell issa who is the head of the committee investigating this will seek to find out what authorization came from for a program that is linked to one high profile murder. they maintain holder must have known about 2,000 wins that ended up in the wrong hands. they lost track and some of them ended up at crime scenes. some of them were linked to killing of border agents in southern arizona last year. the congressman issa says the attorney general was repeatedly briefed on the program. >> very clearly he had to no when he was killed. everybody knew something serious happened and that is months before he said he knew. if we assume for a moment he didn't know, the question is he competent? if in fact a border agent has been murdered and the program has gone off the rails, why didn't he know? >> reporter: the program is mentioned in briefing documents the attorney general received as early as july 2010. >> heather: how is the attorney general reacting to the charges? >> he broke his silence and issued a scathing response. he said he told the truth when he said he did not know about the program a few weeks earlier. in his statement he blasts issa around his ang siagsz, saying such irresponsible and ininflame storm rhetoric must be repudiated in the strongest possible of terms. those that serve in law enforcement deserve of our thanks and not disrespect by those that seek political advantage. holder says the documents mentioned no problems associated with fast and furious. >> heather: so why didn't he know if he did not know. we appreciate it. >> gregg: now to the story we've been following for several weeks the occupy wall street demonstrators. they are pushing their protests beyond wall street. several thousand of them marching north through lower manhattan before gathering in washington square park for a peaceful general assembly. they are speaking out what they call corporate greed and growing gap in income. they claim the movement has no legally leaders and they are making their decisions by consensus. they have been donated food, clothing and supplies. >> and it's getting confrontational in washington this weekend. take a look. >> middle-aged middle-class person, i think it's wrong, too. i think my government has been captured by special interests, captured by corporations. there are a lot of people like me that -- >> i am completely disgusted with our political system and economic system at the moment. i've never been so worried about our country ever. >> gregg: they were involved in a rowdy scene at smithsonian yesterday. they were joined by anti-war 2011 stop the machine demonstration. when they tried to force their way into the museum a guard used pepper spray. nobody was seriously injured. >> heather: and d.c. lawmakers take notice of the growing occupy wall street protest. eric cantor had this to say at valued voters' summit on friday night. >> i for one is increasingly concerned about the growing mob occupying wall street and the other cities across the country. believe it or not, some in this town have actually condoned the pitting of americans against americans. >> heather: today house minority leader nancy pelosi took exception to the characterization of the protests saying this. >> i didn't hear him saying when the tea party was demonstrating and he and his colleagues were putting signs into the windows encouraging them. it's the american system, it's the democratic system. >> heather: later adding that the protests represent americans value in fairness. >> gregg: a few remaining was bastions are falling to the rebels. they are going to the center of suerte. huge plume of spoke as the battle to crush khadafy's regime is taking a heavy toll. david piper has the latest. >> reporter: hi, gregg. the rebels have pushed right into the center of khadafy's hometown of serte. they have been fighting around the convention center and also a palace right in the middle. they had great success over the last 24-48 hours in what they called the final assault on the sti the certainty. they took a hospital today with revolutionary parts going in to find any khadafy's followers, checking ids. is you said there is real concerns at the moment about many thousands, despite many hundreds getting out over the last few days. many of them have been khadafy's followers in the past. they do fear reprisals at this time. transitional council has said once it falls, they will then declare libya free because they will control all the major ports and then they'll push toward elections and start rebuilding the country. but, of course, there is another khadafy strong house, two-hour drive out in the desert. they have had real problems facing that in the past. they have tried several assaults on the place but khadafy had powerful russian made weapons and it depends on serte falling first. khadafy called on the libyan people to rise up against what he described as the nato collaborators. here in tripoli there have been no incidents in a month and at this time they are preparing for the fall of sirte and the start of the celebration. >> gregg: david, thank you. >> heather: in syria, anti-government activists are paying tribute to the fallen comrades this weekend. reports claim that more than 50,000 mourners, they marched through a town and earlier today hundreds of kurds reportedly gathered in the northeastern town for the funerals of five people said to have been killed by security forces. leland vitter has the details for us. >> without a line in the desert, the syrian government increases the level of violence but the brutality it's using. international community continues to demand that the middle east country stops killing people in the streets. >> new video shows more pro-democracy protestors shot and beaten during a funeral. the latest round of violence started when government assassins killed one of the opposition leaders. 50,000 turned out for his funeral. with security forces attacked with gunfire killing five bringing the number killed to 3,000 since the uprising begin this spring. the president asad has ordered fuel infantry units to the sits as he tries to keep a lid on it. international community has condemned the violence, china and russia vetoed a resolution against syria, but this may be changing as russia demanding that asad implement reforms. sear yansz abroad have joined the fight attacking diplomatic missions around europe including breaking into the syrian embassy in berlin. >> the foreign minister says they may take revenge of the diplomats for the embassy attack on top of threats by the syrian government that they will launch attacks against israeli targets including tel aviv or the airport if nato or the united states intervaccines. >> gregg: protestors in germany targeting buildings following the death of a kurdish opposition leader. they broke into syrian consulate in hamburg. they vandalized the buildingss before leaving. friday's killing sparked international outrage and drew about 50,000 mourners into the

"washington post" was all over this. let knee quote their latest story, mary kendall said the interior department contracting officials assigned to the deal knew little about it. her obligations to ensure that us-2 actually did the work. is this another example that the government is ill suited and ill-equipped to interfere in the marketplace? >> it's another example of regulations kind of gone awry. they put in regulations that should be good and should work. then people in charge have no clue what to do, there you go. >> gregg: and taxpayers lose their money. brenda, thanks very much. >> heather: i know you are a golfer. water hazards taking on whole new meaning. for one australian golf club, half a dozen bull sharks infesting the lake in the middle of the course. they apparently washed in by a nearby river but they are popular with the people at the club. >> wow. >> first time i ever saw they were a baby but it was just like coming out up out of the problem. >> heather: that is part of the problem. the sharks are thriving feeding them an occasional treat. >> gregg: they are going to run out of food and those guys are going to look like food. fortunately i'm never in a water hazard. you got to jump in. [ laughter ] >> gregg: coming up, could it be voter confidence not the candidate that determines who will win the white house in 2012. we'll take a look in-depth about n what voters think about the respective chances. >> heather: a dramatic river rescue, a tropical storm catching kids on a fishing trip by surprise. >> two of the officers jumped in the water actually went and carried the kids back to the patrol boat.

pollster, doug shone and gentlemen thanks for being with us. you know that some people decide not to vote if they are convinced their candidate is not going to win and, indeed, the polling data shapes their opinion. if it continues this way might obama supporters, this is futile and we're going to say home? >> it's a possibility. what indicates to me that the obama administration is deeply concerned about this is way they've been showing sympathy and empathy for occupied wall street protestors. they are to a large extent the president's base. they supported him in 2008. the reason the president is sympathizing and trying to tie his concerns to theirs is to reclaim that populous mantle he had back four years ago and general enthusiasm. >> gregg: it does look discouraging to the president. you look at the breakdown among the party affiliates. 58% of democrats do think the president will win a second term. maybe they won't stay away but to the contrary, they may be motivated to vote. maybe your part of the gop will underestimate that? >> 58% is pretty low number. 83% of republicans will come out to vote, but when you're talking about enthusiasm, people dedicated to voting to president obama that number is quite low. usually it should be rather high 70s or 80s frankly. but with the economy the way it is and with the country in the mood the way it is, that is not such a surprising number. >> gregg: doug, let me stick with the polling data. it's fascinating. president's approval rating is now at a career low of 42%, his disapproval at a new high of 54%. there are the numbers but the key is independents, barely more than a third of them give him positive marks, 60% of them disapprove. that is new high. should the president heed the advice of james carville who is urging the president to fire his political and economic advisors who, quote, got us into that mess. he wrote, fire invites fire in order to survive. >> i think the president has to do two things. he needs to broaden his circle of advisors but if he is going to win the independents he has to do more than resolving door for his advisors. he needs to move to the center, embrace the policies independents want which is balanced budgets, reducing the size of government and reducing debt. what i can see he is doing the opposite. >> gregg: as bad as the president's numbers are, your party the republicans is worse. a scant 20%, 20% approve the way republicans are handling the economy. 76% disapprove, when it comes to creating jobs, voters have more trust in the president than they do in the gop. so if the election backs choice, ron, of sort of the better of two evils, won't republicans lose? >> i don't think so. with president obama being the commander in chief, he is going to be the one who takes the bliarm the way the economy is. key here is to go after independents, both sides are going to have to grab them. and president obama is going left. why? because he is fund-raising he is trying to get as much money as possible to go negative on the republican candidate and. remember. we don't have the republican candidate yet. when that person is identified you are going to see the numbers go up quite a bit supporting republicans. >> gregg: something else caught my eye. it's the self-described conservatives who outnumber the liberals by 41% to 20%. we'll get it up in a second. that is pretty astounding. is the president's big government agenda looking increasingly out of touch with the belief of most americans? >> absolutely, gregg. that is why i made the point with having position himself as a fiscal conservative rather than talking about wall street and the like. look, i'm somebody that moved bill clinton to the center with a group of colleagues and with the president's own support to win the 1996 election. there are more conservatives now than there were then. more conservatives than liberals president has to move to center to get re-elected. >> gregg: but i mean it is a right of center country based on those figures from the "washington post" poll. ron, a majority of the americans support the president's jobs bill and only 36% oppose it. hope to get that graphic up as well and then there sat plan proposed by senate democrats to raise taxes on americans with incomes over one million dollars a year. 75% of voters support that tax. only 23% oppose. aren't republicans, your party, ron, on the wrong side what is essentially a populist proposal? >> here is where it gets tricky. if republicans say that democrats want to attack job creators, those that are going to pump money into the economy that needs certain if i where things are to be, those numbers flip quite a bit. it's an easy talking about millionaires tax but it's not easy to defend taxing those that create jobs. >> gregg: well said. thank you for being with us this sunday. good to see you. >> heather: vending machines getting a makeover of sorts. many of them only often artery cholesterol clogging snacks but one california company wants to change that tossing out junk food and offering healthy options. casey stegall is live. how many of the machines have been rolled out so far? >> reporter: you took the words out right out of my mouth. first of all, everyone has a craving for chocolate. there is a california company that would like to change things. this particular company has already rolled out more than 600 of these healthy vending machines around the country. they promise more are on the way and showing up in places like schools, gymnastic centers and office buildings. the machine is high-tech with register raise rows to keep fresh fruits and vegetables cool in lieu of other snacks. >> we had an older healthy vending machines, as many options as this new one does. >> i think it's the way of what we should be doing. so i think that by offering this product, we are forcing other companies that sell junk to look at their products so its movement. >> reporter: so the prices are comparable to traditional vending machines. candy bar costs 75 cents, a bag of carrots may cost $1.25 instead but parents say it's money well spent. >> heather: is it about the health of the children? >> when you consider 17% of children are obese. that is according to cdc and some are calling it an endemic. childhood obesity rates have almost tripled since 1980 and half of high schools and middle schools continue selling sugary drinks and junk foods. many see the healthy vending machines as a nice place to start to get the numbers down and getting our young people to eat more healthy. >> heather: to choose carrots over the candy bars. i'm not sure that will happen. >> heather: you can't dip the care on the in the fatty dressing. >> and what sparked the anti-wall street protests and the anger that set off the tea party protests. new debate and power panel will be picking it up. >> and forget soccer mom, could dads and moms be the new power bloc.

>> first thing i would seal the border. seal the border. then say who is here illegally. if somebody is convicted felon, send them back. if somebody is working really hard and has a scholarship to harvard. >> but who makes those decisions? and what law enforcement agencies -- i used to prosecute felony deportations in the country and you have come here and you broke the law and are out of here. but you have people here illegally that are trying to make a living for themselves and in alabama they are leaving alabama. >> i don't think we're just going to say that. >> you have to solve the problem in the way -- you have a federal law that applies. you can't go state by state or you will get the lowest common denominator. >> when i was in the reagan administration we had the same issues. the deal was to get everybody off the streets and seal the border but we didn't get everybody off the streets and didn't seal the border so same debate. >> 9.9% unemployment rate in alabama. people need jobs. why are you giving jobs to illegal immigrants?

>> absolutely. we have some of the finest universities in the world. they come here and then they have to leave. the problem is, it's all end meshed in this illegal alien issue. we have to decouple the border security from skilled workers. we are not giving visas to these skilled workers who could stay and work at places like ample. they could be the nextç steve jobs. but they are not -- not allowed to stay. countries all over the world allow people like those to stay. they are asking them to come. we're saying, you can't stay you gotta go. >> gregg: that part i think a lot of people can identify with. let's loosen up some of the green card status for these skilled workers. there's another half of the equation. these business and university leaders are saying way, we want the government to give us more money for research and department. which many americans -- research and development. which many americans might have a problem with. president of harvard, harvard'sç endowment is 26 billion dollars. it is filthy rich. shortly, they can use -- surely they can use a billion or two to stop the exodus. >> it is interesting -- >> gregg: you went to harvard. >> i went to harvard. and i will say they use their endowment wisely. i had no money to go to any college. they are needs blind. if you can get in, they will pay for you. they paid for every penny of my education. they do that for everyone. some of the companies the first thing they cut are -- is rnd -- >> gregg:ç research and development. i don't get it on this panel, dupont, eli lilly, i looked up their profits last year. dupont, three billion in profit. eli lilly five billion in profit. they want my taxpayer money? >> no. a lot of it goes to -- yes, much of the rnd comes the federal government. i would argue that if the federal government is going to spend on anything, that it should be spent on research and development. surely these places, including harvard, should be funding their own research and development. i will grant you that. >> gregg: aren't we already spending taofpt,ç 60% of spending on basic research -- cop if the federal government, taxpayer -- comes from the federal government, pair dollars. >> these companies should be doing that. steve jobs did that. he didn't take a dime from the federal government. >> gregg: he reinvestsed his money. >> yes. the other thing he -- he dispensed almost no lobbying money compared to most companies. the word is, you can really succeed without the federal government. he sold to the federal government as a market. but he didn't take any money from it. so you are absolutely right. >> gregg: isn't itç ironic protesters on wall street decrying capitalism the other night they paid tribute to steve jobs the quintessential lesson in capitalism. >> there's a lot of irony there. >> gregg: profits are not evil, profits empower people. thanks brenda. >> heather: remember the story we talked about it yesterday. new details about the members of an amish community attacked in their own homes. their hair, beards, forcefully cut. attacks have reportedly been carried out by another amish apparently over some religious differences. our affiliate in cleveland has the story. >> reporter: saturday afternoon in middlefeel theç amish go about their -- business, shaken and well affair of other amish attacking their own through the state. reportedly over religious differences. the first attack involved six men and six women bursting into the home of a couple, they were forced to the ground the man's beard was cut on the woman's hair was cut. police say they were attacked by their own children. >> you cut your mom's hair and dad's hair and beard off they will cut anybody's hair and beard off. >> reporter: the sheriff says the mastermind is an amish bishop. >> he's the leader whatever he says goes. no one makes a move without his authorization. >> reporter: while he's not of his sons along with a third man are under arrest in connection with the attacks on the amish. news of the arrests may begin to calm some fears. >> we've had a spanish in the -- had a panic in the area. firearms sales, ammunition sale has again up, we sold out of mace, cameras. >> heather: that was fox 8 news in cleveland reporting for us. greg growing dramatic shootout in houston, texas all caught on tape. hail of bullets flying at a gas station yesterday. two store clerks in cç gun battle with flee suspects. there it is. one employee taking a bullet in the leg. one suspect, hit twice in the chest. that guy tried to get away, he was found nearby and an arrest police looking for the other two. >> when it comes to politics, what goes around might just come around. warning house-to-house freshmen as a new major election looms. why are some tea party booster kids from 2010 facing possible stiff challenges from a new team of party favorites. >> heather: their numbers are growing and their voices getting louder. are the wall street protesters getting their message across?

what do you think? >> well, remember it is one thing to hate congress as a whole it is another thing to hate your congressional representative enough to throw him out of office. let's take these 87 house republican freshmen. last year 2010, a lot of the republican congressmen who were running had been complicit in things the public was angry about. they voted for the bailout, car bailout, bank bailout, higher spending. only two of the republican incumbents in 2010 were defeated in primaries. as many two were defeated in the senate primaries. if there areç real republicans in jeopardy not so much in the house, it may be in the senate. both richard lugar, from indiana and orrin hatch, they have a lot of the tea party very mad at them. you may be seeing not the tea party freshmen in trouble but the old bull senate republicans. >> heather: not just voters being fickle or angry again and wanting to oust them, it is also redistricting. >> absolutely. redistricting is going to reconfigure the map. making it harder for some incumbents to run. it makes it difficult for challengers right now to know where they are running. many states haven't finished redistricting. i think in the end, the tea party is not going to lose a lot ofç is members that it elected in 2010. a, because most have stood firm on the clear principles they ran on. secondly, it is very difficult to defeat an incumbent. i do think if there are tea party people who vote for higher taxes and almost all have signed the no new taxes pledge that would be a breach of public faith that would give them problems. >> heather: before we talked about the tea party. now we are talking about occupy wall street. what if any influence do you think occupy wall street will have? >> clearly, the left wing has decided they need some kind of visible symbol of public outrage that tilts towards their issues. what you can see on occupy wall street is the flip side >> , it is much more disorganized. much more rowdy, you never saw tea party people arrested, shutting down a museum on the smithsonian wall you never saw tea party people occupy a park and refuse to leave. i think it will reenergy the left. on the other hand the independent voters are going to say why are liberal democrats siding with these ruffians in many respects. i think it is going to be a mixed bag for the left. these are not the kind of tea party people that used to pick up their crash and quietly go home. >> heather: it is great to see such involvement on both sides, the left or the right. >> oh this is good news. lookç, some of the occupy the left complaints are valley. we did have a bailout nation in 2008 and 2009. big banks were complicit with the people who were fueling the housing bubble. subsidies of course, are a bad thing they lead to horrible outcomes look at the solyndra scandal. both parties have been complicit in these kinds of scandals in the past. those complaints are valley. delivering more power to the government i don't think is going to strike many independents as a solution that's what we've been doing. >> heather: show your opinions by excercising your right to vote. thank you john. >> gregg:ç protesters camping out on wall street, not winning high praise from more experienced activists. indeed, they say the protesters may be making noise and getting some attention, but they also lack a coherent message. raising doubts over whether they can bring political change. indianapolis, the latest city to take part in the movement, the protesters catching the attention of passers-by, some supporting them, others not so much. >> the national air and space museum in washington back open for business today. i was closed yesterday after more than 100 demonstrators -- it was closed yesterday after more than 100 demonstrators tried to end the building protesting what they call corporate greed. pepper spray was used to keep them out. >> heather: high-tech and highly controversial. that's how some in atlanta might describe their city's latest weapon in the war against crime and urban ter rip. a new police system designed to -- better safeguard the public. why is it raising sufficient a fuss? elizabeth, what is law enforcement trying to accomplish with this? >> reporter: police are always looking for that extra set of eyes and ears. these new technologies are offsetting budget constraints. atlanta has joined the ranks of chicago, boston and new york. they are starting to use these video integration systems. they are networks, public andç private cameras feeding into one location, monitored 24 hours a day by police. by the end of the year atlanta police foundation expects to have thousands of cameras feeding in at one. >> think about the value of having all these cameras in one system being integrated by the police department. they almost immediately could identify the suspect, vehicle description. and quickly get that information out to the officers responding to the scene. >> reporter: the program costs about three million dollars to launch. it was funded by federal agencies as well as private donations. >> heather: what are the criticsç saying?
