republican strategist jack burkman and democratic strategist brendan daily are with me tonight and thank you for coming in. >> happy to be here. >> let's start with you. president obama taking aim on the handling of the economy. it's about the economy in this race right now. >> reporter: sure. it's obama's biggest liability. the biggest problem the president has, and he doesn't have anything to run o. the problem is that request is not a good thing and very few, if any people v been elected on that and the whole thing is attack romney, division, class warfare, romney put people out of work and this and that and the other. obama has no theme and i think it would be difficult to take thatfo november 6th with a purely negative campaign and win. >> and how would you say obama's going to defend himself here. >> and that could have been worse. he has a job proposed almost a year ago that the republicans in congress blocked and high is going talk about that as well and investing the middle class and really, our long-term future and pointing out all romney wants to do is go to bush, deregulation and tax -- . >> you have to understand, though, what brendan is saying and he believes passionately in those things and that is great. they want to spend another half a trillion. when you talk about investing in the middle class, that is another 200 billion. the elect of 2010, as i read it, maybe i could be wrong, was that the public all over the country wanted to reign in spending. i think the message was clear that obama wants to go out and spend another trillion. i'm not getting this, as you look across the atlantic and see italy and spain and france go bankrupt with this kind of system, i am baffled. >> brendan, let me ask you this. as we said, president obama spoke with "the associated press" and called romney's ways extreme. >> he wants more tax cuts for the wealthy and that would increase the deficit. the so-called trickle down there, if you give tax cuts to the folks on the high-end -- . >> it works. >> it doesn't work? >> it didn't work under george bush. we had the worst economic ever with the economy collapsing in 2008. >> if you look at -- . >> no, jack, hold on a second n. europe, you're talk about where the economies are not doing well, they have the austerity measures to cut the budget because there is no growth there. >> they're cutting the budget the last six months. >> you know this. in 1980-'79, when tax cuts were sky high, look at where gdp has been since 1979. you can't argue that tax cuts were an enormous thing in this country. >> two points of vow. >> that is clear. >> let me ask you, this if i may. the governor said he was making a joke when he to a crowd of supporters in michigan you don't need to check his birth certificate and caused a dust up, wouldn't you say, jack? >> yeah, everyone, yes, that issue is over. trump raised it, oba in produced a birth certificate. i think romney, like obama, has to throw red meat to the base. obama did this with left-wing issues and there is nothing wrong with some preconvention fun. >> the obama campaign, as you know, tweeted born in the usa with that link to bruce springsteen's song. do you think we heard the last of it? >> i don't think so and republicans can't help themselves. someone there is going to brink it up. this is what they think and can't help themselves. like the todd akin comment about abortion and this is what they think. they believe. >> and some quick answers to both of you. looking ahead, no doubt the speeches will attempt to prosecute president obama. jack, let me ask you and we'll go to brendan. where is the president most vulnerable? >> i think on the economy, i think they will drill the economy. the economy, the economy. to quote james carvell, it's the economy, stupid. >> i think that jack is right. there is going to be other talk. they can't help themselves. look what was said this week and had all week. >> they want to tell the story of romney with you, briefly, how do they want to portray him? >> obama has been very success envelope defining romney with the negative attacks. before romney can define himself. romney needs to be defined and i think he will do this next week as mr. fix it, as a businessman who fixes businesses and can fix the united states. >> all right, jack, brendan, again, thanks for coming in tonight. good talk. >> sure, thank you very much. just ahead, a challenge to employ veterans is exceeding expectations. today, out-of-work vets pack the walter reed medical center for a job fair specifically for them. plus, progress overseas as a nato air strike takes down a key taliban leader. we have all of the details coming up on the news at 10. . last year, a coalition of 59 national companies made a public pledge, to hire at least 100,000 veterans by 2020. to date, the companies have hired more than 18,000 vets. some of those hires happen today and at a military employment fair in bethesda. john henrehan was there as l. >> reporter: if you look at the numbers published by the bureau of labor statistics, veterans have a better track record of getting and keeping employment than does the general population at large. for example, in july, the overall national unemployment rate was 8.3%. among veterans, the unemployment rate was 6.9%. of course, if you're in that, it's stressful. meet the 46-year-old gary mcfarland who retired as a master sargen after 24 years in the marines. he got a good job in two days in 2010 dib, but the company's government contract was not renewed and the past five months, he's been on a discouraging hunt for work. >> most employers don't want to look at paying you 10 or 15 an hour and i can't raisemy mortgage or pay my family on that kind of mean. >> reporter: he spent much of the day at a hiring event at the new walter rode campus in bethesda and dozens of companies, as it turns out, want to hire veterans. academy is a security company seeking retired military personnel. >> and they have the training that we need and have work in high-threat, high-risk areas and where our clients require us to do as well. >> reporter: the large banking firm j.p. morgan chase is looking for some and to take training to become personal bankers. >> when you put a mission in front of a soldier, sailor, airman, or marine, they know what the task is in front of them. >> that translates? >> it can translate and that can translate with the right work, the right credentialing, the right experience and right mentoring. that can happen. >> reporter: forty different area companies were talking to veterans, giving one-on-one interviews and ng job offers. in bethesda, john henrehan, fox 5 news. still to come, new details in yesterday's shooting outside of the empire state building. plus, remembering nol armstrong. just ahead, we'll speak with a retired astronaut about the legacy he leaves behind. that is coming up next as we continue. [ male announcer ] since 1996 welfare recipients were required to work. this bipartisan reform successfully reduced welfare rolls. on july 12th president obama quietly ended the work requirement... gutting welfare reform. one of the most respected newspapers in america called it, "nuts!" saying, "if you want to get more people to work, "you don't loosen the requirements -- you tighten them." mitt romney's plan for a stronger middle class will put work back iwelfare. [ romney ] i'm mitt romney and i approve this message. [ male announcer ] you work hard. stretch every penny. but chances are you pay a higher tax rate than him... mitt romney made twenty million dollars in two thousand ten but paid only fourteen percent in taxes... probably less than you now he has a plan that would give millionaires another tax break... and raises taxes on middle class families by up to two thousand dollars a year. mitt romney's middle class tax increase. he pays less. you pay more. . recapping our top story tonight, the first man to set foot on the moon died. neil armstrong took that step while 600 million people watched on earth. that is the largest tv audience any one event has ever head. the apollo mission was his last with nasa. he retired two years later as a teacher at the university of cincinnati. he died from complications of cardiovascular procedures. he was 82 years old. the family released a statement this evening saying in part while we mourn the loss of a very good man, we also celebrate his remarkable life and hope that it serves as an example to young people around the world to work hard to make their dreams come try, to be willing to push the limits and selflessly serve a cause greater than themselves. the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down on you, think of neil armstrong and give him a wink. joining me now to talk about neil armstrong's life and legacy is michael lopez allegria, the president of the commercial space flight federation, working to make commercial human space flight a reality and a retired nasa astronaut. good to have you here, sir. >> good evening, will. >> a part from being the first man on the moon, what did we learn from armstrong. what is the lasting legacy here? >> i think people remember him for walking on the moon and that is pretty -- and that is an act to duplicate in history. people who are, who know him closer than that are amazed, no less amazed, i would say, by how, with such dignity and grace he lived the rest of his life. he's a very quiet, reserved, honorable person and he stayed away from making proclamations about this and that, even though his opinion was about every question and chose not to get into that world. >> he was quoted as saying landing on the moon was the real highlight of the apollo 11 mission. >> and as you know, he flew once before and that mission might have ended in disaster, but for his cool head. the same thing was true on the moon landing. they were literally running out of gas when they were on the way down and i can see why as a pilot, he was jazzed up about the landing and, after all, taking one step after another is a challenge. >> you're a former space walker yourself, explain what it's like to be in space tethered outside of the space station? >> it's a unique experience, you are your own human satellite and have a suit protecting you from instant certain death. it's exciting, the view is spectacular as you can imagine. believe it or not, people are focused on the work at hand and there is a whole team of folks on the ground watching, helping, coaching and holding your breath that you turn it in the right direction, et cetera and there is a lot of pressure and, unfortunately, you don't get a chance to sit back and appreciate the significance of it all. >> is there a pressure from wind? is there a sound? >> there is no wind. you're in a vacuum and there is no resistance whatsoever. you're going about 17,000 miles an hour and five miles a second. if there were wind, it would blow you away quickly. all of the sound i hear is the sound of your own breathing and the occasional communication with the ground team where folks inside the spacecraft and that is a pretty surreal experience. hard to describe. >> the ultimate meditation, i suppose. >> the last moon walk, the apollo 17 mission in no one 72, you think there is more to learn? >> certainly and i think we william go back sooner or later. it's a question of the government's will to do and which reflects the people's will. in the '60s, we were in the middle of the space race with the soviets and there is nothing like a good war to inspire people to go do something. unfortunately, we need to do those things and inspire people to do the same kinds of grit endeavors. we'll get there and that is teaing time. >> again, thank you for coming in tonight. good insight. >> thank you. ballistics evidence shows all nine people shot outside of the empire state building yesterday were shot by police officers. they opened fire on a man in a suit who allegedly shot a former coworker to death on the sidewalk and as the officers approached, jeffrey johnson spun and pointed a .45-caliber gun at them and that is what prompted the officers to open fire. sending people scattering to escape. >> and was scared. >> how do you feel? >> and that is what happens. >> he was shot 10 times and died at the scene. of the nine people hurt, they were hit by whole bullets and the rest bullet fragments. and turning to a developing story in passion. nato and afghan officials say they killed a senior leader of the pakistani taliban. his deputy and 12 bodyguards were reportedly killed in what nato calls a precision air strike in afghanistan. the group was staying in a house there when that attack happened. he was organizing weapons for attacks on nato forces. they trying to figure out whether a separate drone strike took out another insurgent leader. sports is coming up next at 10. rg3, as we talked about earlier, got his first taste of football on his home field. dave ross is there and how the skins faired against the colds today. >> and some neighbors seeing the wet weather and the question, how long will it stick around and what about the rest of the weekend? the details are coming up. stay with us. we'll be right back after the break. . dave ross on deck now to talk about the game. >> yeah. >> and that does not officially count, but a win is a win, huh in. >> especially with the first preseason game. >> what? >> and that is dress rehearsal, right? tonight was game three and the final dress rehearsal for the starting members ever the redskins and after it was said and done, tonight was a successful night, winwill, with a win and notice injuries. we're going to sneak and that he never got anything like this ever. and with the first possession, 2 and 5 and there he goes. we know he's fast and he's been there. nice right there and colts second possession, the number one pick in the draft is going to get sacked twice in three plays. and fletcher and kerrigan combining for the big three time sack there and with that series, 3 and 3 and with that catch for the first down and in that same series, getting out and does he get in? and on that next play, punches it out and with that 49 carries, he might be your opening day back on september 9th. what about the other guy? tim hightower playing the first time, the 18-yard game and that is with some five people. five carries, 28 yards and tough to get him down and good to see timmy hightower in action and with that four-yard touchdown. the skins win, 30-17 and who played well? we all did a good job and with what he had. the receivers made plays for us and came out on top. >> and looked more comfortable and i thought we had a chance for a couple of big plays and that we dismissed and are disappointing. i like the effort of the overall official team. >> -- football team. >> and in philadelphia, the bottom of the sixth, tied at 2 and serbs it and over the left field wall. the 12th of the year and go to win four-2 and that is with that largest losing skid. lindsay murphy and i have the show. >> sounds good. don't get hurt. don't get hurt. >> right. >> and that is tough on ice. >> they look good out there. >> they d. and&speak of the spartans, just ahead, do you have what it takes to be one? thousands took on the gruesome challenge in virginia this morning. maybe not gruesome but dirty. >> and that is grueling. >> there you go. >> we'll explain as we continue. [ male announcer ] some think obamacare is thhe same as free health care. but nothing is free. obama is raiding $716 billion from medicare, changing the program forever. taxing wheelchairs and pacemakers. raising taxes on families making less than one hundred twenty thousand dollars. free healthcare comes at a very high price. the romney-ryan plan will restore medicare funding and protect and strengthen the program for the next generation. [ romney ] i'm mitt romney and i approve this message. . gutting it out in the mud for miles just to show they can and to help out wounded vets as well and this is the second annual spartan race. if you ran the full course, did you eight miles of slogging through muck, climbing uphills, slopes and ropes and pushing your body to the limits and to the strongest and most able- bodied guys had a tough time getting it done this morning. >> and that is brutal. >> i don't know if i would do it again. you cross it off your bucket list and i'm over and done. >> and a lot of women doing it out there as well and honoring and motivating wounded vets to keep pushing through obstacles. and look at that. you think shower, right?
