reasonable interpretation might arguably permit brynn to receive benefits. i want to ask you, tad, about the equal protection argument. you know, we go to courts for fairness and equity. how would it be fair that brynn living let s say in california would get benefits but brynn living in iowa doesn t. that s not fair, is it? well, you want to make an equal protections argument, there s also a states rights argument. the bottom line is we have 50 states, every one of them does so many different things different, depending upon where you live 6789 live. we have access to medical marijuana in california, we surely don t have it in texas. that s the way of the world. gregg: but it s not tied to a federal program, which is what social security is, it s largely a federal program, in some ways administered by state. you re right on that and they need to fix that but until they do, we re still stuck with it. tad nelson, dwayne cates, thank you for being with us. jenna: that is an inte
the town manager, fred, thank you very much, we ll be thinking of you. gregg: you can hear the fatigue and sadness in his voice. he has gone through so much and everybody there has. jenna: you almost feel a little guilty right. here you are in new york city. everybody was talking about what would happen to manhattan and the storm kind of came through and several days later and a lot of folks are really dealing with the aftereffects of it. gregg: they absolutely are. it could get worse. tropical storm cat at this yaw is churning in the atlantic katia. sorry to bear bad news but it could become a hurricane today. janice dean. we think probably the 5:00 p.m. advisory, gregg and we got 11 okay, and winds are still 65 mile-per-hour sustained. there is katia. we think the storm will come close to the u.s. we re still days out. i want to stress that. we don t have any idea where
all off in a bow, make it look big, make it look important, it ends up being like water on a rock and people say yeah, i think the president said stuff about the economy, he needs an exclamation point on this. jenna: we ll see if he achieves bigness, a week from today, september 7th, 8:00 p.m., i know you ll be waiting and watching. yes ma am! jenna: chris, thank you very much, chris stierwalt. gregg: she was born two years after her father lost his battle with cancer, with the help of in vitro fertilization, but a federal court in iowa ruling because the little girl was born after her father s death, she is not entitled to his social security benefits, and the case could now be headed to the u.s. supreme court. let s bring in our legal panel, dwayne cates, criminal defense attorney, chad nelson, former prosecutor. chad, let me start with you, and i read it the iowa law, it never envisioned in
that this was going to be the first debate where new frontrunner rick perry was in the mix. so this is stepping on the line. now, it s not a huge deal, it s not the end of the world, and msnbc is just going to have to shift their calendar they and politico. jenna: do you think that s going to happen? that was what part of the back and forth was, and the truth is, i don t really know, chris, i m going to have to talk to people and find out exactly if they knew or not. so i m going to keep completely neutral on that, but will that be the end result, will msnbc have to move the debate? is that just what has to happen? yeah, and the danger for the president, it s risky play but there is this danger for the president in it, and this is if republicans if politico and msnbc opt to slide their debate until 9:00, until after the president is done speaking, they re basically teeing up the whole republican field to take malice out after what the presidency, it would be like an hour or two-h
what has the commission said so far. reporter: things, jenna. the event is ongoing in washington but 9/11 commissioners say nine of 40 of recommendations have not been fulfilled a decade after the attacks. among them there is still no consistent policy for detention and prosecution of alleged terrorists. that s important with growing number of cases we re seeing more americans taking roles within al qaeda and its affiliates. our nation s political leadership have delayed resolving the admittedly very difficult problem of reconciling the rule of law with the indefinite detention of alleged terrorists. some of whom would no doubt attempt to do the nation and individuals in the nation grievous harm. reporter: for some context the obama administration placed new mexico born cleric al voila can i first american on the terrorist capture list and suspects who pled guilty to the federal court in new york city where they
