[ stu ] yeah. it's electric. i don't think so. it's got a gas tank right here. electric tank, right over here. an electric tank? really, stu? is that what you pour the electricity in? it's actually both, guys. i can plug in and go 35 miles gas free, or i can fill up and go a whole lot farther. is that my burger? oh. i just got bun. i didn't even bite any burger. it's this... the etrade pro platform. finds top performing stocks -- in three clicks. quickly scans the market for new trading ideas. got it? get it. good. introducing new etrade pro elite. got it? get it. good. what are these guys doing? [ horn honks ] could you please not honk while this guy's telling me about his chevy volt? is that that new... is that the electric car? yeah. but it takes gas too. ask him how much he spends on gas. how much does he spend on gas? how much do you spend on gas? how much do i spend on gas? if i charge regularly, i fill up like once a month. he only has to fill up about once a month. [ woman ] wow. that's amazing. here's your chance to talk back on one of the big stories of the day. everyone is talking about gabrielle giffords incredible recovery. some are saying that is not enough. carol costello is joining us from new york with today's talk back question. we've seen amazing pictures, seen her speak lately with her husband. what is this about? >> this is such a tough one, but an issue that's been hanging in the air for months. is giffords effectively serving her constituents? questions like that have popped up again because of her appearance on 20/20. >> she wants to get better. >> better. >> you want to get better. >> better. >> and so, you think to yourself, i'll go back to congress if i get better. >> yes, yes, yes. yes. >> and that's where you are right now. >> yes, yes, yes. >> earl deburge of the behaval research center says in the "christian science monitor," while voters are rooting for giffords, r i think people have an interest in this competitive and hostile congress that they have representation they can depend on. after the interview aired, she seemed to want to reassure voters by facebook. >> i want to get back to work representing arizona is my honor. my staff is there to help you. they keep me informed. on your behalf, i miss you. i miss home. >> perhaps, the real problem lies in the constitution. there simply is no provision that allows lawmakers to step aside and recover. it's either recover while on the job or resign. in may, she must declare whether she will run for another term. should congresswoman giffords run again in 2012? i'll read your comments later this hour. >> just curious. these calls about whether or not she can serve her constituents, are they coming from people considered partisan or people who support her? >> this man i quoted, he's from a nonpartisan group. it's a valid question. can she serve her constituents effectively. i just talked to her press person and he said they check in with gabrielle giffords all the time. every day. she's still the boss. she's just not well enough to physically go into congress and cast a vote. she cast that one vote back on august 1st, remember that famous picture? but hasn't cast any since then and she's not likely to unless the issue is so important that she feels she must. >> okay. thank you. more developments for audiotape wall street. around the world today, so in texas, it's another blow to the movement. a federal judge in dallas is denying the group's request for a temporary restraining order that would allow demonstrators to stay camped out in city hall property. officials are meeting today to discuss what's going to happen next and california. 60s all over again. thousands of students took part in a day long protest. at uc berkeley. that happened yesterday and it could be the last call r for occupiers in london. that is right. officials plan to serve notice to protesters there today asking them clear out of the city's financial district. in new york, where the occupy movement started two months ago, protesters are now back at zuccotti park. they can't stay in their tents. they are police in riot gear. they cleared the park yesterday after a judge's order. deborah fayerick is there for us. tell us, give us a sense of what the mood is like today. what kind of equipment do these folks have? how many people are there? >> they don't have a lot of equipment. as a matter of fact, they're not allowed to bring in tents, generators. they were not allowed to set up any sort of a food stand which they had before. there was a tent city behind me. now, you're seeing private security guards dressed in yellow. they are interacting with the demonstrators and protesters much more than they were in the past because they weren't here. you don't have the numbers of protesters that characterized this protest over the last two months. it is a very, very different feeling. we were just told a few minutes ago that now somebody was barred from bringing in a sign, another person banned from bringing in a guitar. there seems to be a crackdown. the leaders or the organizers of this, they're trying to re-group. they're trying to capture the momentum that they had even just 24 hours ago. that momentum really destroyed when police gave them 30 minneapolminutes to gather up their things and get out. looki looking around, you can tell who is in control of this park. it is not occupy wall street anymore. although they are determined, right now, very much it's the dynamic is r very, very different. >> where do they go? do you have any idea? are they re-grouping somewhere else? how are they getting their message out? how are they moving forward? >> we've been trying to find that out. they are in touch with people through their website. also, we're told a number of them went home to sleep. they were up the vast majority of yesterday. there were a number of people yesterday. so that has sort of chipped away at the numbers. but whether there's another place they're meeting at, not really. like i said, there are about 100 people here. those are the people we're seeing and really a mix of people, but some who say they will stay the course, that they're going to make sure this movement continues and that it has the energy to make change really come election. >> okay. thank you. now on to some of the stories our affiliates are covering. a teenager in norcross, georgia got stuck in the chimney before the fire department rescued him. police say he was trying to break in. some happenry reunions in norfolk, virginia. that is the the u.s.s. carr returning after five months at sea. crew went on a mission to intercept drug deals overseas. able to take down a $22 million cocaine deal. and in alexandria, minnesota, this young girl, lucky to be alive. after having a seizure while driving. she lost control of the car, plunged into a freezing lake while a police sergeant in the right place, right time, dove into the water. another trooper broke the window, pulled her out just seconds before the car sank to the bottom. >> best way to describe is like something on dukes of hazard. it's got a severe drop. a good 50 feet down into the water. >> how lucky for me, i can't even imagine. i wouldn't be here today if he wasn't there. >> amazing story. deadline for the super committee to agree on reducing the deficit. that deadline is is just one week away. going to tell you what it means for you, your money, if there is no deal. try bayer advanced aspirin. it's not the bayer aspirin you know. it's different. first, it's been re-engineered with micro-particles. second, it enters the bloodstream fast, and rushes relief to the site of your tough pain. the best part? it's proven to relieve pain twice as fast as before. bayer advanced aspirin. test how fast it works for you. love it, or get your money back. it's true. you never forget your first subaru. want to bring you some news we're getting out of greenville, north carolina. east carolina university, which is now on lock down. that is because a report came into the police department, a call about 10:15 or so, somebody witnessing a man on the campus with what appeared to be an assault rifle. there were some cameras in the area able to pull up some images of this man. he had a backpack and what looked to be an assault rifle in his right hand. the campus is on lock down as the police try to search for this armed man. now, so far, police say there are no reports of any shots fired. but right now, that campus, east carolina university, r on lock down as they search for a man who they believe is carrying what could be an assault rifle. it's a monumental job, right? reduce the federal deficit by $1.2 trillion to avoid automatic spend iing cuts. a super committee of six republicans, six democrats was chosen to take on that task. some of those members are meeting now, but time is running out. the deadline for them to come wup this plan, just one week from today. so, what's at stake? what are the possible outcomes? i want to bring in alison kosik. she's at the new york stock exchange. there are a number of things that could happen. it could go badly. perhaps not. there are some options, bawl eyes are on these 12. what does this mean for us? >> exactly. you talk about those options. the best way to tell you about them is to kind of play deal or no deal. let's say if there's a deal. the plan would then go to congress. then go to the president for his signature. now, if there's no deal, automatic spending cuts you mentioned would kick in in 2013. they could also come up with a partial deal, say they agree to $600 billion in cuts. that would go to congress for approval, then the remaining 600 billion would be made up by those automatic spending cuts. >> so, if no deal, if hey don't have a deal here, what are these cuts that are going to kick? >> details of what would be cut and by how much, that's left up to the appropriations committee in the house and senate. but here's what would happen. defense spending would essentially be cut by 16%. that's talking about the military. and then there's the non defense spending that would be slashed by 15% and that is really this kind of big kitchen sink because non defense can mean anything from education to infrastructure like highways, national parks, federal courts. even the smithsonian. medicare cuts would be capped at 2%. >> and overall, do we have any sense of how this could affect the economy? >> it would have a big effect. you think about the u.s. credit rating. it could be hit with another downgrade and if that happens, you can see consumer confidence take a big hit. who can forget standard & poor's. it did the first u.s. downgrade in august. we watched the markets tumble. the dow tumbled 600 points in one day and s&p warned woor putting you on probation. could downgrade the u.s. create rating again if the supercommittee doesn't reach a deal and we're hearing similar thoughts from moody's and fitch. so yeah, that dysfunctional tone coming over these discussions, definitely hitting a little harder now that we're a week away. >> with all the deals that we have, there are always loopholes involved. are there ways they can get around making a decision? >> you're talking about congress, so of course. of course there are big loopholes and there is one big one to tell you about. it's congress who came up with these rules in the first place, so guess what? they can change those, too. these cuts would not kick in until 2013, so that essentially leaves one year for congress to repeal them or dial them back. >> thank you. we'll be watching to see what they do in the next seven days. if the members are counting on public confidence to get the job done, they're in trouble. a new poll shows that only 21% of americans think that it is likely that this committee is going to agree on a deficit plan. a whopping 78% say it is unlikely that they're going to reach a deal. but one member of the panel tells erin burnett he sees this as an opportunity. he thinks the community should go big. >> you have to come out with a balanced approach. it makes no sense for example to tell seniors their social security benefits are going to be cut to pay for deficits when social security didn't commit. if you're going to come out with the future, surely you can ask everyone to participate. it's simply a matter of making decisions about your priorities and in this case, if you want to really get the country back on track, you want to go big. be bold, but tell the american people it will be fair, balanced. >> he says this could be a magical week if the committee gets this done. a sports illustrated writer says he got boot. he's going to talk about his article with jerry san ddusky a how his words have come back to haunt him. then you put in an 8-speed transmission that gets 31 miles per gallon. that combination of luxury and efficiency only comes from one place in the world. ♪ now lease the 2012 chrysler 300 for $339 a month for well-qualified lessees. [ male announcer ] there's just something ♪ dabout werther's caramel that makes a chocolate so smooth and creamy, you don't just taste it, you feel it. ♪ magic [ male announcer ] werther's original caramel chocolate. what comfort tastes like. a vacation on a budget with expedia. make it work. booking a flight by itself is an uh-oh. see if we can "stitch" together a better deal. that's a hint, antoine. ooh! see what anandra did? booking your flight and hotel at the same time gets you prices hotels and airlines won't let expedia show separately. book it. major wow factor! where you book matters. expedia. some of the stories we are working on, next going to speak live with former sports illustrated writer who said he got duped by jerry sandusky now accused of sexual child abuse. then teenage singing star, miley cyrus, gets fed up the comments about her weight, so she is striking back now on twitter. and atlanta's mare is out with a man that could put thousands back to work. mike mcqueary says he did go to the police to report former assistant coach jerry sandusky. he was a grad assistant at the time, hold the grand jury he walked in on sandusky raping a boy in the showers in 200 2. in an e-mail, he writes he did have discussions with police and that the official at the university in charge of police. that contradicts the grand jury report. referring to the alleged assault, he continues, i did stop it. not physically, but made sure it was stopped when i left that lo locker room. mcqueary spoke to c brk s news. >> you have any idea when you think you might be ready to talk? >> this process has to play out. i just don't in anything else to say. >> just one last thing. describe your emotions right now. >> all over the place. just kind of shaken. >> crazy? >> crazy. >> you said what? like a -- >> like a snow globe. jerry sandusky is charged with 40 counts relating to the sexual abuse of children. he denies any of the allegations made by the eight boys. he says they are not true. here's what he told bob costas on monday night. >> i have horsed around with kids. i have showered after workouts. i have hugged them and i have touched their leg. without intent of sexual contact, but so if you look at it that way, there are things that would be accurate. >> are you denying that you had any inappropriate sexual contact with any of these underage boys? >> yes, i am. >> so, jerry sandusky retired from penn state in 1999. in this
