proprietary. his highest proprietary is reverse income and poverty. chris star well. joining us live. chris, the numbers are not encouraging. >> no, there is not a great deal to be encouraged about the american economy. we had green shoots but the news from the american economy is like the middle east or afghanistan. sometimes it is better than it was or better than the alternative. but the presence of actual good news about the american economy is few and far in between and what the president is saying, in order to combat the uncertainty and anxiety that people are feeling and especially hard hit were white americans and especially in rural areas and places like aplatchia and in order to combat this, we need to launch a big round of government

spending. we need tax increases on top earners to spend a lot of money and build out infrastructure to help these feel more economically secure. >> 46.2 million people living below the poverty. 15 percent of the entire population. we know in the last five years the amount of taxpayer spenning on food stamps doubled in five years, where do we go from here? >> the administration is working hard to build out entitlement programs and welfare programs and the first new one coming on line where you sign up for free or subsidized health insurance. middle-class entitlement for health insurance goes on line october 1st. that is the first addition. we saw a story out of pennsylvania over the weekend,

you can see the a a rp, and political ally of the president out trying to rekraut seniors to get on food stamps. there is a big push on the left and by the president's supporters to get people enrolled in government programs to reduce the degree of economic uncertainty. they say they can expand the safety net and have people feel more comfortable. >> there is bad news in the speck rum. they show in recent years all kinds of trouble up for whites. that actually, the gap in the races with tough economic nows has closed up. and more whites are experiencing tough economic times as well. and they are less optimistic getting out of the situation or the economy is going to improve, they don't so it. >> it is a searring debate and where does the party's future

lie? there is a belief for this disaffected voters and white voters and those who are in states liko ohio and michigan and pennsylvania, there is a place to go for the republican party and more populs and connecting people who are distrustful of washington and big business and roaching out to those folks and say they will be the party that represents and helps those voters and every year in the economic climate create more of those voters and so maybe there is something to that? >> it is noted that 36 percent of the noncollege whites turned out to vote for president obama last november. and the worst performance among the group since ronald reagan's landslide victory? >> they were not enthussed about romney. and that is for the republicans, there is a new liberitarian

populs. if they connect with the voers. there is something. they took a pay sting in the obama era and it is historically bad for these folks. and if the republican party needs to be viable they need their support. >> will they have a strategy? there is internal disagreement on that and other things as well. will rogers said that about democrats and many republicans can take those words to heart. they belong to no organized party. they are republicans. >> and chris, 11 time time 30 eastern on the internet. we'll see you there. >> a new push to defund the legislation. senator ted cruz called a petition don't fund it. it is the last time to stop the health care law. it is calling on congress to

allow a government set down if they don't block all funding for obama care. not all republicans are on board with that strategy. senator ted cruz will join us live and why he thinks it is the best and only course of action. >> this is a fox extreme weather alert. a weekend of powerful storms makes for devastating and deadly conditions. first in arizona, serious flooding flipped a bus on to its side before carrying it 300 yards 33 people were on board. no one was injured. in north carolina, a 10-year-old girl and her father drowned in a rain swollen creek. we'll have more hello, gin. >> we are dealing with extreme weather all up and down the east coast and southwest.

we can see incredible amounts of rape in a short period of time in big cities like philadelphia and north and west of the charlotte area on saturday. step inches of rain in a matter of hours. looking at philadelphia, again, the bulk of the rain coming in throw hours, they received over eight inches and that not only sets a daily record, but they have the wettest july on record and parts of new jersey receiving seven inches of rain and four inches in mount laurel, new jersey. it is unfortunately an ongoing situation. there will be a front that brings the potential for showers and thunderstorms and heavy downpours. but flooding rainfall possibilities in the central u.s. and including places like missouri and kansas. they could see 4 or 5 or 6 inches of rainfall in a short period of time. they need the rain but not so much in a short period of time that could cause massive

flooding. and also talking about the tropics. this is an area of disturbed weather in the pacific that could be a next storm. and tropical storm flossy will be going to hawaii and will be a minimal tropical storm. the terrain is so mountainous, we'll deal with 4- 8 inches of rainfall. this storm will continue to press toward the west and fall apart in the next several hours. but to have a tropical storm making landfall in hawaii, it doesn't happen very often. it is historic. and we have tropical storm warnings in act for the big island and a possibility of flooding because of all of the mountainous terrain. and we'll keep an eye on the remmants of dorian in the atlantic. that could regenerate and so

we have seen no signs of protest in all in chicago. they are happening in new york city. they are being organized by fast-food forward whose twitter slogan is no one can survive on 7.25. and the big push to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. they are calling for a wage increase. most fast-food restaurant rely on slim margins and can't afford to double employee's pay. they have a full- page ad, in usa today seaing the labor unions should stop and think about the acts their demand would be on the employees they claim to represent. $15 minimum wage would force

them to replace with automated self- service alternatives. burger king and others point out. they are entry-level jobs and burger king offered scholarships. but the protestors say $11,000 a years not enough money to cut it, shannon. >> we'll see how it impacts the lunch- time crowd out there today. >> president obama hitting on the idea of phony scandals in his weekly radio address. it is a recuring theme for the week. are they phony and could the new strategy back fire. the motor city is pushing a way to get around this with the help of obama care. >> despite a highway profile sex

2003. >> officials in detroit are considering a controversial new plan to save their tea from ruin. by using the president's health care law. the motor city owes 5.7 billion in retired health care costs and they are considering pushing the people on the president's plan. the administration vowed that the u.s. taxpayer will not pay for the detroit bail out, it means the u.s. taxpayer will pay for more than just retired. michelle, we are told no federal money is going to detroit to help with the bail out, this is a back dorway to make it happen? >> it might not be a back dor. it is a front door bail out and turned obama care in the mother of all bail out vehicles. it is not a surprise to kidnap

who saw the obama architects were constructing a way to basically facilitate the call shifting stampede. and what detroit is doing is not anyhow. a couple of months ago, ram emmanuel and the city of chicago announced they would dump their retire es on to the obama care system. it is a huge injustice not only to hard working taxpayers who are responsible but people who live in cities and states and localities that have not racked up massive and huge funded liabilities n. chicago there is a lawsuit pending now. that is not the solution they are looking for. they took public jobs and stayed in them because of the benefits that paid off long-term. in the short term. and the benefits are a lifetime

for many folks. and we understand that 61 major cities in the u.s., 126 billion in retired and health care commitment and all but 26 percent of it is unfunded. if it works, i can imagine other cities where we say let's put the folks on the exchanges and that is not free. >> that's right. it is going to add up to trillions more in costs for all of us who are paying for the obama care bill. >> it is a massive sea of red ink. and there is a couple of things if they were not so awful would be amusing. and hanging over all of this is a phony promise from president obama you like the health care you can keep it. and all of the public union workers and government workers who are balking at the prospect of forced into the very plan that their union bosses foisted

on the rest of us. nprofessor timothy jost, followed the law in the implementation as it rolls out. it is mandatory spending. detroit and other cities put the retired on the exchange it is mandatory spending. and not like the feds didn't know. retired could have to pay more ending up on the exchange than if they stay under the plan they thought they would get. they agreed to other concession and deals because they thought of those benefits and a third group of people who don't qualify to medicare and exchanges. is it possible that they could love the retirees with 0o hent care policy. >> all points and yes, there will be a lot of these orphan workers or retired who have no

where else to go. it is a huge legal headache and ticket for years to come. and then we are operating under the fantastical assumption that health care exchanges will be up and working. hss announced it before thevaca be ready by 2014 and we all anyhow many of us from the get go. this whole thing is a huge charade and blowing up in their face and the only recourse is to plead with hollywood celebrities to sell to delusional young people. michelle, thank you. >> you bet, shannon. >> and a co law maker launching an effort to stop obama care before he said it is going to be too late. senator ted cruz how he hopes to

the mosque from the state. we need to be able to say that it hasn't worked. and i think that it is a very hard argument to push forward. it doesn't always go over well. and i think the united states is not mixed messages to the arab world and you are talking about our foreign aid and f- 16s for example that you brought up. the time to pull back u.s. aid would have been when we had an islamist government in pour in egypt. now we have a government trying to push the islamist back, i am of the jean kir patrick camp, the reality on the ground is to say, we had more peace when the islamist are not in control. >> we are senning a great deal of aid. and bipartisan support from the house and senate to make it

transparent so people know where the aid is going. if we completely withdraw our aid from the military or the humanitarian assistance and those kinds of things, we'll lose our ability to influence our conversation and what happens in egypt. we have israel and other things that we have to think about. >> i think that both scenarios that you laid out are exactly true. there is a middle ground. i don't understand why we don't start over with our foreign aid to a 0 perspective. why do we allow countries to a sum they will get the money? there is a difference when talking about national security issues and there is a middle ground. we should be able to put

conditions on the aid and say it is not endless and if you don't move forward our goals of democracy and not only elections, but greater freedom and democracy, our aid is conditional. >> the death toll is rising there. and many in the muslim brotherhood will fight to the death and will not go away peacefully. how does this resolve? >> it is a very scary situation and we should condemn any type of killings or violence and we should put pressure on the military to make sure they understood that there are long- term implications for the short- term security decisions are doing. >> thank you, richard, thank you for your time. >> any time. >> a professional athlete walks away from a paycheck of a million dollars. what in the world caused the walk off in the canadian open.

constitutional lawyer and litigator. and it is really sad to see this administration, this president, this justice department so consistently disregarding the constitution, disregarding the law. and you look at obama care, obama care, this administration is decided to engage in in selective enforcement. select some but not others. the law is not written. a few weeks ago president obama announcing would he unilaterally suspend the law for large companies. companies with more than 50 employees. he would move the employer mandate until after the next election. shannon that has two important concessions in that. number one, if obama care was working, if it were a good thing, president obama would want it to kick in before the next election, not afterwards. the fact that he is scared about the american people realizing what a disaster obama care is and he wants it shift it to after the election i think is

very revealing. but number two it raises the obvious question, if president obama is willing to give a waiver, to giant corporations, what about the rest of us? what about hardworking american families? that's why i think congress ought to stand together and defund obama care in its entirety. not just big corporations getting a break but every hardworking american family. >> article 2 requires the president to make sure to uphold and faithfully execute laws of this country. are you saying he is not following the constitution? >> that's exactly what i'm saying. the president has a responsibility to take care to fatefully execute the laws of this land and president obama sadly over and over again disregarded the law. whether it was on immigration when he decided to order his administration to disregard the law of the land. to disregard the immigration laws passed by congress. or on obama care when he finds parts of the law that are politically inconvenient rather than trying to change them.

he simply says, we're not going to follow them. we decide or i decide in the case of the president, who the law applies to and who it doesn't. and that's not the way our constitution works. that's not the way a system of government that limits government power to protect the citizenry is supposed to work. >> how is it limited? how is he limited then? what check is there on the executive branch if he continues to make these decisions to his administration as well? you see eric holder who despite the ruling we got from the supreme court a few weeks ago on the voting rights act, making his announcement that he can go after states including texas, regardless of that sproem court decision. what is to limit et executive branch? >> you're right. this is the most partisan justice department we've ever seen on voter id. attorney general essentially said he would defy the supreme court and ignore the law. the question you ask is critical. the most important check that congress has in an overreaching

executive is the power of the purse. and that's why the next 63 days matter so much. in 63 days the continuing resolution expires. i have publicly pledged along with senator mike lee, senator rubio, a number of others, that i will under no circumstances support a continuing resolution that funds even one penny of obama care. if we can get 41 republicans in the senate to and it together, or 218 republicans in the house to stand together, we can successfully defund obama care on september 30th. and what it's going to take for that to happen is for the american people to rise up and demand it. that's why we launched a national petition. don'tfundit.com. the only way this will happen is if hundreds of thousands or millions of americans tell their elected officials, tell republicans, stand for principle. use the power of the purse.

>> the funding of obama care is one thing, the other is the funding of the u.s. government. you mentioned 63 days left. there has to be some type of consensus to come to a continuing resolution which is basically funding mechanism to keep the government going. there are a handful of you and it is growing who have pledged that you won't vote for any continuing resolution that has anything to do with one persony towards obama care. are those calling this terror politics? and that's a republican, peter king, over in the house, who said that. they are cautioning against taking this attack. what are you to do in compiling the numbers you mention ped. there are a number of republican vocally and publicly saying they're not going to go along with this. >> i think the american people are getting more and more sophisticat sophisticated. they learned there are a lot of republican politicians who like it say they are opposed to obama care. they like to cast empty symbolic

votes. i think think the house voted 41 times to repeal obama care. every time it was a meaningless vote because it had no teeth in it. i think people say they want more than a fig leaf. they want to oppose bam care to imfact oppose obama care. if this thing goes into effect, the add menstruation's plan is on january 1 to start the subsidy, start exchanges and their idea is to get americans hooked to the sugar. hooked to subsidy. there is in major entitlement that's gone on force that's never been unwound. this is the last chance to defund it. wheels are coming off. democrat max baucus called it a train wreck. but here is the simple truth of the water. if we are going to win this fight to defund obama care, it is not going to be one, this is not a fight i can win. an fight mike lee can win. marco rubio can you win. no politician in washington will win this fight. the only way we will win this

fight is if the american people, grass roots rises up in incredible numbers. good to don'tfundit.com. sign a national petition. pick up the phone and call officials. say, talk is cheap. use the constitutional power of the purse. if we stand together we can win this fight. if we surrender as republicans are so good at, it is guaranteed we will not win this foit. >> you give a rougz speech at western conservative summit a few days ago. there were several standing ovations. after all is said and done and it 12013, you won with 45% of the vote. are you running for president? >> you know, shannon, my focus is entirely on the senate. i will tell you that, that very kind outcome in the straw poll, i think was reflective of what grass roots conservatives are feeling across the country. which is frustration with washington politicses.

what i talked about in denver was the node for grass roots conservatives to rise up and take back our country. not to count on any politician, include meg. but to count on mobilizing the american people. i think we have a totally different paradigm. where when the grass roots get engaged. when we demand of our elected officials to do the right thing. when we make it more risky to dot wrong thing rather than do the right thing, that's how we win fights, whether it is on guns or drones, and that's how we will win this fight on defunding obama care. i know it is easy to focus on the politics but i'm working hard to focus on substance of defending liberty, returning to free market principles, and restoring our constitutional protections. and the only way that happens is if grass roots conservatives gets engaged. go to don'tfundit.com. call representatives. and demand that every one of us be held accountable. me as well. all of us.

to stand for principle and help turn the economy around so people can get back to work and achieve the american dream. >> thank you senator ted cruz for your time. we're back with more after this. >> thank you, shannon. hi. i'm henry winkler.

♪ ♪ president obama wrapping up a private lunch with former secretary of state hillary clinton at the white house just a few minutes go. no details about the meeting were provided but their meeting comes as nbc announces it is developing a mini series, tracking her career as first lady to secretary of state. critics say it glosses over some of the most controversial part of her life. national review magazine's coauthor of who's counting, good to see you. >> thank you. >> what do you make of this? we are hearing it is not only a mini series but maybe a movie as well is it. >> well first of all, there is a movie and mini series. the movie is called "rodham" and

it is about hillary clinton's time before she married bill clinton when she was a young lawyer on the nixon impeachment hearing. that will come out some time in 2016. i hope it shows her tenure was rocky and she ultimately was fired from the committee. >> i don't imagine that's the stuff that nbc will focus on. >> that's not the nbc one. >> the mini series is separate from "rodham." this series which stars diane lang, academy award nominee. she is a fine actress. great choice. that series will begin in 1998 when the monica lewinski scandal broke and i presume after her secretary of state tenure ended. but the first years of her loif will be ignored. that includes a lot of stuff. both good and bad. >> you think about the things that the clintons had to deal with. whitewater investment and questions about those. we're not getting any of the back story. >> well there was travel gate in

but i'm skeptical because the screen writer is apparently a big hillary fan. and known as a big feminist in hollywood. all of the actors and actresses that have been talked about it are liberals in hollywood. you know, maybe there are unicorns and pigs can fly. it is possible that it is going to be even-handed but somehow i doubt it. >> all right. this is that bewitching period, as we look at the next round of presidential elections. is timing fortuitous? is it going to be good for her or bad for her, based on what you know is coming. >> i can't imagine anybody would dislike having a fur-hour mini series which will paint her in probably a very sympathetic light. remember she got a lot of sympathies from americans foregoing through the monica lewinski scandal. she got a lot of sympathy for having the plot to run for senate seat in a state she never lived in and win. she got a lot of simympathy for americans for touching the glass

ceiling even though she didn't break it. she had respect for her time as secretary of state except benghazi. >> what do you think the lunch was about today at the white house? >> i think it was both about the present, because they had things to talk about. various scandals regarding ambassadors and benghazi at secretary of state level she left behind her. then of course the 2016 presidential race. and of course how she can help the obama administration for example sell obama care, maybe. remember, hillary clinton's healthcare plan crashed and burned. obama got his through. maybe she has suggestions on how to win public approval for something not very popular. >> we will stand by it see if we do get a fair and balanced take. john, thank you very much. >> thank you. middle east peace talks today getting a new start for the first time in three years. president obama calling on both sides to negotiate in good

scandal. in irs, the darrell issa committee going after the white house saying it was somehow involved but suppresses transcripts that show that no white house -- every person that came forward and testified in front of issa's committee showed there was no white house involvement whatsoever. so that is in fact a phony scandal. so what the plez is trying to do is make a case for the economy here. all polls show that americans care most deeply about economic growth in the country. their family's own economic security. so the president is saying, let's not sweep all of the good news under the rug, because there is good news. the economy is growing. job crow ators created over 7 million jobs in the last 40 months. >> shannon -- >> all right, hold on. i will let mark finish. >> thank you, lars. >> he has thrown you there a lot of red meat from forged document, which i never heard about, and i know there is

testimony at the white house. like carter saying the irs is connected to two political from the white house. we heard what the ip said and it's not good. lars? >> i may have to bow to mark hannah's greater knowledge. because would he know about phonies and scandals because i worked from the john edwards campaign. but these are real scandals. >> you mean john kerry. >> sorry, john edwards and john kerry, both johns. the president gives one blanket statement and they are all phony. is the irs scandal phony? >> yes it is. >> no. >> every accusation that darrell issa has -- >> mark, let me finish. >> go ahead, lars, go ahead. >> mark, the chief counsel to irs met with the president in the white house two days before drafting a memo that told the

attacked by the irs. >> mark, let's take a break. i think you would admit there is legitimate concern what happened with benghazi. that's four americans died. >> and when there was news -- >> that's legit. here is the problem. when the white house repeatedly says phony scandals and doesn't i num rate what they are talking about it does bring up things that to millions of americans do matter. spying on james rosen. all kind of other thing come up when you say phony scandal. is the white house inviting i attention to things it might not want to talk about. >> right. when benghazi happened. there was even an appearance of sort of inappropriate behavior or an appearance of incompetence tense, we in the media had a real opportunity and we are absolutely right to investigate that, talk about that, when the irs happened. the president said when there was any malfeaesance be we was

outraged. now as these investigations proceed and new investigations come to light showing there was no inappropriate behavior in the irs scandal -- >> how can you say no inappropriate behavior when there is an admission from within the irs they were targeting people -- >> shannon, be careful, or progressive -- >> none of the progressive -- none of those groups, i welcome them, open invitation, come tell us. we haven't heard from you. we keep hearing from progressive groups but they don't show up in public. >> no, they don't. >> some may have been on an initial screening list. but according to inspector general, according to him, none of them were given what the tea party got -- >> the only group -- lars let me answer the question that shannon asked me. >> all right. >> the only group barred from tax text status was progressive group or three progressive groups actually.

>> -- did the damage, mark and you do know it. >> let's let lars in here. >> let me say this. there were two accusations that that darryl ice why's committee made. we have the obligation to tell our viewers that the congression congressional oversight committee -- >> when he said he didn't get all of the information and said yes, there were in the initial screening list and they never got what the conservative groups got. i got to get lars in for a remark. >> they were supposed to get an answer in 180 days. some were delayed up to 27 months an they described in detail to congress what the delays do in an election year to the ability of political groups to engage in politics. >> you mean social welfare

teams of israeli and palestinian negotiators arriving in the first significant peace talks in years. for the middle east. it's been three years. that announcement met with skepticism and protests but leaders on both sides say te remain hopeful. former u.s. ambassador to the u.n., good to see you today, sir. >> hi, shannon be how are you?

>> i'm good. how is this time going to be different? >> i don't think it will be different. i think that both the government of israel and the palestinians are here largely because of the pressure of the obama administration. and while these talks may drag out, not here in washington, but back in the region for some time, because of the continuance of that pressure, there's no sign that parties are any closer on substance and in fact, if anything, the authority on the palestinian side is even less legitimate and less able to deliver on any promises it can make that was three years ago. so in substantive terms, i don't think these talks are likely to go anywhere. >> all right, we are starting with the word there will be a release of palestinian prisoners, a number of them. we are told it will be in phases. it'll be staggered. had israelis will release them but there are counts it will incloud people who threw fire

bombs, at one time at a bus carrying children. elderly women, security agents, all all kinds of things. and benjamin netanyahu has a later to his people saying this is an incredibly difficult decision for him to do and he knows it wouldn't be politically popular. why was it necessary at this phase to do that or make that promise? >> well, i would speculate that prime minister netanyahu thinks the talks will collapse and his judgment is that there's less of a political cost for him to bear the political opposition he faces in israel because of this prisoner release, for example, than it is to oppose the obama administration's clear priority to get these talks started. you say, how he does judge that. and i think it's because he is looking at netanyahu is looking at a bigger picture and that bigger picture is the iranian nuclear weapons program. and the very hard decision that israel will have to make, i this i, much sooner rather than

later, whether it's going to take preemtive military action. so i think netanyahu wants to say to obama, if that time comes, i did everything you asked me to do. even at my own political risk on the palestinian front. now i want you and the united states to stand with me in dealing with iran's nouclear weapons program. >> other than physically geographically hosting political talks, what role should the u.s. play in their discussion? >> i think clearly to get the parties to this point, the administration supplied a lot of political pressure laid out a lot of inducements, and i think they will continue to do so. in large part because i think obama and kerry share the erroneous view that if you could only solve or at least make progress on the arab/palestinian front, a lot of things would be

possible in the mideast. i think that's about 180 degrees opposite the truth. the civil war in syria, for example, would exist whether the palestinians and israelis made a deal tomorrow. deal tomorrow. terrorism, radical islam, the problems of egypt and other countries. so i think it's a mistake to think that progress between israel and the palestinians will solve much of anything else, and i think it's a mistake to devote time and attention to it because an administration only has 24 hours in a day, and if they're spending it on something that is essentially insoluble, they're not dealing with other problems. >> can you manage our expectations, what should we expect or not expect from this week? >> nothing. i tell you the administration will say great progress has been made. how can you tell? because the sides will have agreed to meet again. >> ambassador, thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> one american war hero honoring another. senator john mccain today remembering one of the most

fractured arms, broken knee. left arm was out of the socket. he had not been fed, and basically he was starving to death. >> by the way, day and mccain didn't always get along. they had some kind of dustups when bud day came out in favor of the swift boaters who attacked john kerry and mccain said he was great man and also fought for the benefits for service members, so that -- won them extra insurance benefits. truly a wonderful war hero who died this weekend at the age of 88 years old. >> differently represents -- definitely represents the very best of america. thank you. >> we'll be right back. hey kevin...still eating chalk for heartburn? yeah... try new alka seltzer fruit chews. they work fast on heartburn and taste awesome.
