infrastructures investment, education reform, so there are places where we can cooperate and, still will be a bunch of things we will fight about, though. bill: and you will probably fight about taxes, too, but the president has given ground already on the corporate tax, saying he s in favor of bringing it down. is that where the two meet? well, on the corporate taxes he said bringing the rate down, but, expand the base. close what he calls loopholes and as a principle, we will not argue with that. it is how you do it that matters. bill: so the way you debris it, it doesn t matter whether the right pocket or left pocket, taxes are coming out of somewhere. absolutely. bill: how do you change that. well, if we wants to work on a corporate tax reform, the chamber supported that in the per share to make the system simpler and easier and clearer, you know, i think we can get there but again is all about the details and where the money comes from, ultimately. bill: you know the allegat
for you today, a new report on al qaeda, breaking details you will see here first and our continuing investigation into the muslim brotherhood in the u.s. and today we look at where the money is, and where it is now going. and, also, a surprising study on anxiety one that says just embrace it. for what it is. and, we have a warning to beachgoers about a danger in the water locals say they ve never, ever seen before, not jaws, something else. see you at the top of the hour. martha: we have been showing you that suspicious package situation that has been unfolding in l.a. and now can tell you there is and all-clear on that package, and had to wake up the folks in the neighborhood and found a car, abandoned, stolen car and worried about a package and apparently now cleared it, and, it is not a problem for the neighborhood and we wanted top back end that for you and tell you how that worked out. bill: the founder of facebook, unfriending a so-called creep
stone age. no police , she says, no water, no electricity and wake up and hear gun shots, houses on fire. we re scared. violence by drug cartels, in this big cities like juarez gets media attention, no one knows or records how many are killed in small towns where the state and the police and people have already given up, where a nation s flag flies in surrender. that situation in guadalupe is not unusual for mexican towns along the border. just last week the police chief in laredo was gunned downed, assassinated along with two bodyguards and the job of police chief along the mexican border is becoming fast a job no one wants to take. martha, back to you, i can see why. steve harrigan, great report, thank you very much. on the border. bill: he created the most popular on-line community, the
ready for spending cuts. i just don t think washington has quite gotten the message fully. but we have to do something about it. if we do what the president proposes, which is freeze a small segment of the budget at 2010 levels, we ll add nearly $4 trillion to the debt in the next five years. it s unsustainable. and we have to do something serious about it. bill: why do you think washington doesn t get it? what gives you that impression? well, because, you know, the republican alternative to president obama s freeze is to freeze that small segment at 2008 levels, but the republican s proposal will add $3 trillion of debt over the next five years. it s not enough. you have to be more bold. we need more bold leadership here, because if we don t, my fear is that we re going to face a debt crisis in the next few years. bill: we may face a debt crisis over the next 3 1/2 weeks. in your piece in the wall street journal from yesterday, you don t even get into social security or
