Millions of americans, already have insurance and most of these americans really like it. they like their doctor, they like the plan, they may have problems with the cost. they might want that to go down. they might want to see it reduced but they really like their overall set up and what mr. werfel, the irs commissioner was basically saying is, we like our insurance plan. we like what s offered to us. we like our doctors. we don t want to go into an exchange run by the government or a particular state where all of that could change. we might lose our doctor. we might lose the particular kind of plan we have. this is what unions are complaining b. this is what people who don t like the law are worried about and it goes directly against the president said, if you like your doctor you can keep it, keep him or her. as it turns out maybe you can but you might not be able to. jaime: david drucker, thanks so much for weighing in. with we ll keep an eye on. thanks a lot. jaime: take care. r
Of movement, we, to be sure, we have alerted forces so that they can respond rapidly to any threat. rick: when we talk about forces, are we talking actual personnel, or would drones be considered forces in a case like this? would we put drones up in the air and have them be on standby in the event of these sort of unspecified threats? well, a lot of our drones have limited range, so if the drone isn t in that country, it s not going to have much use. these are actual forces, organizations like benghazi are on alert right now because of this. rick: this, apparently, went beyond the usual chatter that our intel always pick up, terrorists talking about sort of lofty plans, things they would like to carry out. this was serious enough for them to shut these embassies down on sunday, and i understand, general, some of these places are going to remain closed for longer than that. you know, based on your
Employers, unions and giant corporations. people who want to have to keep their old plan are getting passed over having to do exchanges which everyone else is scared to jump into with good reason. rick: speaking of good reason, juan, conservatives pounced on werfel s comments with good reason. can you blame them? yeah. goo for it. it s a little bit like people who want to block, defund, stop, repeal end obamacare, looking for any sliver of light that would support that position. so they get danny werfel here, acting head of the irs, the main enforcement agency, i don t like change. guess what? nobody likes change. under the current plan those workers do not have to give up their current coverage plans. what we have here is an effort by dave camp. i think he head of house ways and means, saying let s force government workers to go into the exchanges and what you re getting is opposition from werfel and other workers at irs who are saying, no, we would
Us make appropriate copies and use them in reports. we can t do that right now. so if they want to bring them in and let us make photocopies, that subpoena would go away. rick: what does your gut tell you, congressman issa? what is this about? is this about protecting hillary clinton and her future presidential prospects? is this about some kind of arms deal between the u.s. and syrian rebels? what is really going on here? what are officials trying to keep from being made public? rick, we have to follow the facts and the facts have told us that before benghazi there were plenty of calls for help that were unheeded by people at the highest levels of the state department. people that report directly to hillary clinton. during the attack they did not call on our friend and allies to bring aid. and as you know there were agency individuals with guns there, some of whom were used, some of whom weren t but none of whom who were used quickly and decisively. and lastly whether it is
Vandalism at the lincoln memorial and the smithsonian. police are trying to figure out if the attacks are connected. the woman is 58 years old. she has a chinese passport and traveling on an expired visa. she has been in jail since monday, facing up to 10 years in prison if convicted. rick: when we come back, searching for answers. congress issuing brand new subpoenas for more documents on the benghazi terror attack. republican darrell issa joins us live coming up next. what he and his committee are now asking for. jaime: the president s health care plan good enough for the american people but not for the acting chief of the irs? why he says he would rather not switch. rick: plus dirty politics. a massive fight breaking out between lawmakers. what are these folks so angry about?
Chin and both hands but she knows it could have been a lot worse. what went through my mind, was just get back to shore. that s all. and i swam. my mask was gone. i think that might have been what protected my face from getting more because i think that he, because my mask fell off, but, and it s gone. and it is an optical mask. i hope the place i got it from is very nice to me. jamie: based on her injuries the doctors believe it may have been as large, rick, as a 25-foot shark and the beach had to be shut down as you can imagine. rick: i can imagine 25 feet. my goodness. i m glad she is okay. jamie: she survived. rick: good for her. maybe she will get a new mask then. dozens of airshows across the country are folding due to across the board federal spending cuts. what is being called the world s greatest aviation celebration is full steam ahead in wisconsin despite an ongoing legal battle
Jamie: at this hour a volcano know in mexico is spewing gas, ash and lava. the volcano is just 40 miles from mexico city, and its activity impacting some 20 million people. so you can explain with the volcano it s being closely watched, obviously, as officials say that volcano s been active for at least 500,000 years. the folks there getting out of the way, there s been at least three resumptions. finish. rick: nasa received hundreds of suggestions from various projects involving asteroids including ideas on how to deal with giant space rocks that are on a collision course with the planet earth. corey powell is editor with discover magazine. good to see you, corey, thanks
Electronically have the ability to be able to check for this verification of income, now do it. jamie: what about the nominee for the irs? obviously, the irs will be tasked with enforcement and implementation to a great degree. what s your thoughts on our, the nominee that s been presented? well, i don t really know a lot about him. i will start to read, but i know he s got a big job. i hope he s ready for that job, because there s some real cleaning out to be done in the irs. people were already suspicious about the irs and how they use their information, and we have they have only confirmed it in the irs by what they have done most recently. jamie: thank you so much, congresswoman black. it s great to have you on. thank you. it was great to be with you. jamie: rick? rick: happening now coming up at the top of the hour. my friend, jon scott, has a preview. jon: 13 minutes away, in fact, rick, good morning to you. congress is set to vote for the 40th time to repeal obamacare.
Hard. they didn t tell the truth in the first place, they re falling apart all the promises they made. rick: look at poll numbers the truth team has their work cut out for them, majority want to see obamacare repealed, all together, 53% as opposed to 40% who say keep it in place. then you asked folks how they think it will affect them? 47% think it will cost them money. if they re spending so much time and money on selling this to the american people, juan, why isn t it working? you mean in terms of the public opinion, i don t think they have spent much time selling it. i think that is the big criticism on the left, rick. in fact the president, the white house, have been slow to let the american people know about all the benefits that have come from it. people are familiar with the idea that people with preexisting conditions can get health care coverage. that the cost of health care should be going down. what you re seeing there, i think is one, in terms of that 53%, about a quarter
the senate will be in order. it is just not polite. jaime: well, of course senators took their seat and listened did what they had to do. this is why we don t let the crew speak during the show. they ve to watch. rick: i like how harry reid saying it is not polite. meantime he is telling people to sit down and shut up n my house with kids that is not polite. jaime: four children telling each other. rick: five children. jaime: oh my. we ll be right back. did you see yesterday when she took a piece of paper and faced her captor? michelle knight and two other women managed to escape the home they were being held captive in for a decade. michelle knight s emotional statement. we ll talk to dr. keith ablow about what she said and her future. rick: also the jobs numbers just released within the last hour or so showing just 162,000 jobs add the in the month of july. the former head of the congressional budget office joins us still ahead. what those numbers mean for you.
