Carney late yesterday on that. When it comes to protecting americans serving in our embassies and facilities around the world, it is very important to take the necessary precautions when there is this kind of credible threat information. Bill greg palkot leads our coverage. Hes working the story out of london today. What is the latest out of pakistan, greg. Reporter thats right, bill. We were talking just a short while ago with officials at the u. S. Embassy in islamabad, pakistan. They had confirm ad drawdown of what they called nonemergency personnel from the u. S. Consulate in lahore. That is about 180 miles southeast of islamabad. That personnel is in fact being brought up to islamabad in that capital area. They also confirmed to us that it was all due to a specific threat against that installation. We have been to lahore of the it is a lovely city and also the home base of very ugly islamist ideologies. Countrywide were seeing a lot of violence in recent days. In southwestern pakistan city of quetta there was another attack. A gunman going after a Government Official outside of a mosque killing at least six, after a suicide bomber yesterday killed 30. Quetta, which is near the afghanistan border, is the home base for taliban activity. I think most of our viewers know that pakistan is also home base to al qaeda central and its current captain, ayman alzawahiri. That said, much of the violence were seeing inside of pakistan is against the locals but again that threat to americans right now, bill. Bill all right, now, greg, there is 19, 20, 21 embassies cleared out earlier in the week. Is this related in any way to that threat or is this different . Reporter again the state Department Today is saying there is no direct connection with the closures of u. S. Diplomatic facilities that weve seen throughout the muslim world. The timing though is somewhat similar. Today is the muslim holy feast day of eid. That marks the end of their ramadan month of fasting. It was thought these religious days could be a trigger for some kind ever terror activity against u. S. Diplomatic facilities throughout that section of the world and it could have been in pakistan as well. Most of these diplomatic facilities which had been shuttered throughout the entire week will be opening up section couple days. We talked to u. S. Officials. They say the consulate in lahore, pakistan, will be closed for the foreseeable future. They also tell us that that broader warning to americans to, in their words, defer nonessential travel to pakistan, also will be staying in place. Again they say, because of the presence of terror groups inside pakistan, which could pose a threat to americans. Bill this is a big deal. I tell you, you go back 12, 13 years, to 2001 before you have seen this much activity at these diplomatic posts. Greg, thank you. Greg palkot on that out of london leading our coverage on that story. Got another fox news alert now. Later today expect these topics to come up at a president ial News Conference, 3 00 eastern time, you will see it live here on the fox news channel. President obama faces reporters before he heads out for a summer vacation, 10 days on marthas vineyard. This is his first solo News Conference since the 30th of april. He held 16 briefings this year. Half of those were held jointly with a foreign leader. 22 solo News Conferences at the white house since 2009. This will be his 23rd. Some of the topics he could face today, canceled meeting with vladmir putin. Possibility of a government shut down in the fall. Nsa, obamacare, irs, benghazi, all the quote phony scandals the white house talked about for the last two weeks. We want to know what would you ask the president . Tweet me your questions billhemmer. Well read a couple on the air for the next two hours. Fire away. Lines are open right now. Another emotional day expected in the fort hood shooting courtmartial today after major nidal hasan was given permission to continue representing himself despite his standby attorneys claim that he is trying to secure his own death sentence the Army Psychiatrist admitted he opened fire at the texas army base in 2009, killing 13 people and wounding 30 others. Casey stiegel is live at fort hood, texas. Casey, hasan still not crossexamining his witnesss . Reporter , no, patti ann, he is isnt. I was in the courtroom. I had a chance to study him. He looked down at the table most of the time. When the judge addresses him he is very respectful, yes, maam, no, maam. But as these witnesses are giving gutwrenching testimony, he mostly stairs at the table and doesnt make any kind of eye contact with them. Major hasan had a relatively bizarre interruption of court yesterday. It came during some of the most horrific testimony we heard thus far. The sergeant who supervised the medical facility where the shooting happened was on the stand. She was in middle of describing a scene of nonstop gunshots and chaos, when hasan randomly interrupted and objected asked please be reminded she was under oath. Clearly she was under oath. She had already sworn in. So everyone kind of moved on. When it comes to the crossexamination of these witnesses not really happening by hasan. In fact 27 witnesses have so far taken the stand in the first week of this courtmartial. Hasan has only asked questions of two of them. Patti ann. All right. Casey, a bit of an argument yesterday in court . Reporter yeah there was. This was all over hasans standby counsel requesting the judge, requesting that they sort of play a lesser role in this case the judge came in yesterday morning and said that was all denied. Saying that they simply just disagreed perhaps with hasans trial strategy but then colonel chris poppy, one of the standby lawyers stood up at the table said continuing to assist the accused gunman is violation of our professional code of conduct and it is quote, morally repugnant help hasan achieve the Death Penalty. The judge, colonel tara osborne seemed annoyed. She took a short recess and came back and said this courtmartial was moving forward and denied all of the requests and they were ordered to continue working. Hasan is arriving right now as we speak. The helicopter landing here at fort hood. This all gets underway in less than an hour. Were of course going to be here on top of it and keep you posted throughout the day, patti ann. Casey stiegel live in texas, thank you. Bill we want you to take a look now at faces and names of the 13 People Killed on that day in november of 2009. 12 soldiers, one civilian. Some of the victims gunned down as they tried to charge the shooter. One 21yearold army private was pregnant, returning home after serving overseas in iraq when she was shot and killed. Hasan was shot and paralyzed from the waist down by a Police Sergeant this is the worst mass shooting at a military post in american history. It has been a long and difficult road to the start of this courtmartial. Nidal hasan was charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder after the shooting rampage in november 2009. The following month attempted murder charges were tacked on. In april 2010 hasan was transported to a prison in texas. He was finally arraigned in the summer of 2011. It was decided that the courtmartial would remain at fort hood. On june 4th of this year, the judge ruled that hasan can represent himself. She has stood by that decision. Once again, yesterday, despite warnings from hasans standby attorneys that he is using the court to try to martyr himself. Through all this nidal hasan has continued to receive his military paycheck. Since the shooting he has been paid nearly 300,000. Bill because we have a winner. The first person Powerball Jackpot has come forward and gone public. One lucky minnesota man, here he is. Check him out. A electrician i hear. Becoming one of three winners splitting 448 milliondollar jackpot. 45yearold project engineer, paul white is his name.

Bill sound like a great guy. Really has right attitude through all of this. White taking lump sum of 58 million after taxes. Meanwhile overnight the owners of a second winning Powerball Jackpot were revealed. Turns out 16 workers at a county garage in toms river, new jersey. Havent seen them just yet and gone public to show their face just yet. That is who we believe the second winner is.

Congratulationses to paul in minnesota and well what the folks in new jersey say. Sure. Bill whether irs or benghazi, lawmakers back home on their break and getting an earful from the people who sent them to washington in the first place. Innocent people, if you will, are getting slammed by partisan politics. Bill there are brand new poll numbers what people are thinking about obamacare and a whole lot more. Weve got those coming up for you. Flash floods forcing people on to their roofs in the southeast. Well show you dramatic pictures of extreme weather. Bill nationwide manhunt yet again for the man suspected of abducting this teenage girl.

It looks like it might have ended just moments ago in waldorf, maryland, near d. C. Charles county Sheriffs Department were in process of delivering a warrant, search and seizure warrant to a suspect. Shots were fired. We know one citizen has been shot. Were working on getting more details right now but apparently bill sure will. Meantime new fox polling numbers show deep frustration and anxiety over obamacare. 63 , nearly two out of three voters Want Congress to keep working to change that law. And at the following town hall out of maryland is any indication, americans are frustrated over range of issues. Watch and listen now. Now we have all these embassies closed and they still dont know what the heck happened there. You have not seen the end of benghazi. Definitely not seen the end of irs investigation. No question youre not seeing end of that. Innocent people, if you will, are getting slammed by partisan politics. Let me answer your question. Living in the house, cant pay the bills but you when did this government going to come clean with the American People and tell us what this secret law says, how secretly interpreted, how it is secretly being implemented and affects every person in this room. Bill they touch about everything there. Want to talk with joe trippi, former howard dean cam pan manage ir, Mary Catherine ham, hotair. Com and fox news contributors. Welcome to you. Were dieing out here because you guys are being nice guys, Mary Catherine. Were losing the country. I want to see more defiance. Innocent people getting slammed by partisan politics. Go. I dont think we ever should be surprised with congress with 12 approval gets people upset when they come home. Send them up to the hill and pay them quite a bit of money in taxpayer dollars a work four days a week and come home in august and get an earful. That is how this works. Saw a range of issues. I thought surprising but edifying anger about the nsa program coming from some folks. They say look, everything seems to be out of control. We dont seem to get a lost answers. This is our chance to ask you. You need to answer. As you noted earlier in the show, the president himself doesnt take questions very often. This is a good chance for for them. Bill get back to that in a moment. Joe, what do you make of the anger in voices of people in that room . Part of the, it is conundrum for a lot of members of congress right now. When you look at the polling, bill, people are saying, yeah, 63 want to change the law, fix the law, improve the law, but most people do not want to demolish the law. The problem is, obamacare. The problem is in the Republican Base they ban, they want it demolished. And youre seeing that anger really put people, gop members of congress, i think in a very difficult spot where i think theyre going to end up siding with their baseballs thats what they need to get reelected. Bill look at poll numbers. We asked whetherr not obama increases or decreases following things. This is astounding. Your taxes will go up, 71 believe that. Federal deficit, increase, 65 believe that. Health insurance costs, 62 think they will go higher. Quality of care and quality of health care, 43 say it will decrease. And 41 say the quality of health care will decrease. Thats like a straight flush in poker, Mary Catherine. But bill wait. Think joes right to put a note of caution for the gop as far as tactics go but it is really hard to find any good news for obamacare in these polls. Were talking about, not just people who are agnostic or about the bill, were talking about people who are genuinely frighten and will make things worse for them. Here the thing, president will go up and he will be asked about it, he will say, everything will work out exactly as we promised. Reason people are still upset, passed something they didnt like from the beginning. Has not fulfilled promises since then. It has been three years. Things gone terribly wrong many ways. People feel that in their own lives. That is why theyre reacting. It is a real thing. Bill react to that, joe, it is a real thing. No, it is a real thing. The key here is if all those facts, if what people believe, if these polls are accurate, republicans have made clear, Everybody Knows that they dont, that the Republican Party in washington doesnt like obamacare. Has tried to repeal it 40 times now. So, if these things are all true, if they come to pass, then in november it is going to be a very bad democratic year and there is, for the Democratic Party and there is nothing the Republican Party need to do about it. So they should step back if they really believe this. This is my advice for republicans would be to do that. But the problem is, the Republican Base wants it killed now. Bill i have got a minute left. There is a major event this afternoon when the president takes questions about all this stuff one would assume. To Mary Catherine first, then to joe trippi. What is the essential question you want him to answer today . Mk, go. Well i would like a little bit on obamacare while were on the subject because the implementation as you see in the polls, people are reacting badly. Theyre scary about what is coming. Things are not going well for them. I wouldnt mind a question about the cia and benghazi and how many people we had on the ground and exactly what was going on there. Bill thats two. Joe, go, quickly. I like the president. Thats what he does. Mary catherine, it would be interesting to see does he put the stake in the ground and continue to say obamacare will be implemented on time and it will, by november, of 2014 people will be loving it. If he does that, that should tell people something. Bill thank you, joe. Thank you, Mary Catherine. 3 00 eastern time. See you live. Heres patti ann. Thank you. Patti ann still to come, outrage on a congressman on Congress Getting a pass on a law congress passed. What one lawmaker wants to do to make sure washington has to live under the laws as everyone else. Bill you would think it would be simple. New concerns about the fort hood courtmartial, whether or not the judge is allowing the victims to be brutalized all over again. You heard him yell, allahu akbar . Uhhuh. Bill are you sure of that . 100 . Bill suddenly it is 1956. A new study showing dolphins can imitate human actions and even how we solve our problems. Scientists in florida say they blindfolded a bottle nosed dolphin. Strucked the dolphin to mimic movements of a trainer in the water with him. The results .
