conditioning because of no power. peter dooseey has more on the storm's after math. peter? >> uma, there is heat and heart break in virge where many of the two million people prently without power live. now, if you don't have power. that means no air conditioning and a lot of people are complaining about it but at least they are alive. this storm killed 7 people including a 90 year old woman who was asleep in her bed. nacious are upset. but the same storm came out of no where. right now virginiians are trying to save the stuff in their friges. we'll try to get out of town. and it is not too good.

>> it is two bags per person. they'll not girlfriend more than that. >> let us have three. this is the first trip for today. >> yes. >> in best virginia. it is now believed that there are more poem without power than with power. 700,000 poem in the dark and authorities are worried they will run out of fuel. here in the dc metro area. people are trying to cope without air conditioning and without water either. there are mandatory water restrictions. and the authorities say they need to preserve water to insure foir foits will condition. it is making things difficult. it hasn't been this hot since 1934. back to you.

>> unbelievable. and difficult day for those folks as they cope with high temperatures. peter thank you very much. we'll get the latest from maria molina who is standing by. we are hearing that there are nine confirmed deaths from the powerful overnoit storps. >> good to see you. we are talking about fatalities now. that is associated with a large area of high pressure. it is a large area of the count row seeing the hot temperatures and talk a lack at howe it is going to be today. 104 and they are looking boo temperatures in the triple digits when you factor in the humidity it foal it is hotter.

112 is the heat index in savannah georgia. it is dangerous and we are talking about the possibility of heat stroke. they node to remember that heat is the number one weather related killer and we will see more deaths and we have a number of excessive heat warnings. and down in southeast other than parts of georgia and south of the great lakes that is well in the triples. some of the temperatures are more than fan for this year. that area of high pressure will break down and take time for temperatures to coldown. temperatures are on the hot side and in kansas and dc ask parts of georgia and the high pressure in the southeast. wolesee for showers and thunderstorms unfortunately we

had over 800 reports of them most in the form of damaging winds and they'll talk a path once again again. and you can see that in the great lakes and as we head on later today and in the noit time hours. other big story that we had in place. dry and hot and windy. we have had them in wolewatch all of the storms throughout the day give us an update and more on the fires that maria mentioned. we'll see where our is doing battle. they are standing by with the latest.

we are going to get to alisias when we work out the technical problems. she will girlfriend an update. it is galvinizing republicans. and it is forcing. and join us for the fair and balanced debate. gentlemen welcome for all of and you thank you for being

here. it is it a historic week in dc. and i want tabreak it down. and accessibility and poem who get health coverage. it is for patients and doctors. and we believe that patients and familis and physicals need to be in charge of health care. and it is expected in the next. millions of people seeking

health care. congressman flemming. are you worried about what it will and what tom said it is one thing to have a card that said you are entitle tod health care and that being a insurance car and medicare acess is whole other issue and what we see with them. long lines of rationing and the inability to see a doctor in a timely way. we see this in other countries, even the state of the massachusetts which has again as you say a plan that is similar to this one initially and has long yer longer waiting lines and 50 percent of the primary care doctors are not accepting new patients. acess is a new problem. middle class. and that is what they with

them. but the war of words over what to call it is a federal health care overall. is it a tax as the high court ruled or a penalty. >> what matters is that the health care act is standing and what my colleagues just said is more square scare tactirs. we have 50 million americans that are uninsured. a tax is when they go boo the emergency room and you and i have to pay for it. that's a tax. what this affordable health care act will eliminate that. everyone is going to have insurance and so-call would tax is only going to affect those who don't buy insurance and can afford to and don't buy it this is not going to affect them one iota. and the current health care system is not sustainables

have incrosed and double tripled and what the affordable health care act will do. it will provide a health coverage for all menches. what happened to the mantra of responsibility. and then they get hit by a car. >> and congressman mindy. as your colleague pointed out. it doesn't matter. it is not a muscle. and americans are far, far better off as a result of this law.

it is because the law forces the insurance companies to charge an honest price. we know that 42 million seniors have received preventative healthy care services. blood pressure and diabetes. other than if you get to the illness early on. we know that there are 6.6 million children that are still on the parent's insurance. it is the insurance commissioner. and that ends the ability of insurance companies to discriminate it is going to the number of doctors. and reduce the

and it is residency for family health care providers. and there is a and it is just not right. that is it hipock chrisy. this law violates every principle. and whether it is accessibilitiy or affordabilitiy and quality is coming down and choices for patients are going away. the good news, once we repeel there are wonderful challenges. they say hundreds of billions and all with washington keeping in charge here. that is frusitation and anger after the ruling on thursday .

washington has figured out how to finance the system. the insurance cutches are in charge and what i am sorry it is true. washington is not in charge. wait a minute, guys. and it is it 500 billion. it is 50 mullion. final thought from congressman flemming. >> it is it a top down so called solution this takes the privilege and decision making from the patient and his and

her doctor and it is in washington with 50. and congressman eliot. >> it is. >> and the bottom line is this. and right now. insurance companies control the whole thing. they will decide who they will insure and if they have a preexisting condition if you are 26 you can stay on parent's insurance health care is expanded. but they are calling the shots. it is the same square. >> and they they want to repeal it >> passions run high on both sides the viewers can see and the debate will go on and we

thank you for joining us for a fair and balanced debate. >> all right now we'll hear fru. what should congress do now they have ruled on the health care law. >> and 69 percent was you say that congress should push for extentive reforms. and tweet the answers for you. and i plan to read your responses later in the hour. >> and back to the deadly wildfire. and they are standing by with a update. alisia. >> hi, uma. foir is 35 percent contained. get two times the points on dining in restaurants with chase sapphire preferred.

it is the most destructive fire. two poem died and 10 poem are still missing president obama made the battle a topic of the radio address and the visit he paid her yesterday, take a listen. >> one of the things i told the fir foits is, we can provide them all of the resources they need but only they provide courage and discipline to fight the fires. while in colorado springs. they called the foir foits genuine heros and told them that they are changing residents lives. he met with evacuees and got awe up close look at the damage and 10,000 people remained evacueed down from the 32 that were chased from

the homes. if the winds shift. they will need to leave at a moment's notice. uma. >> thank you for that update. it take a lock at unbelievable video we found on line from the severe storms that hit the washington dc area. it downed trees and power lines and loaving people without power. many of you have sent in pictures to fox news and like the tree down in maryland and this picture shows a fall tree that took downpour lines. we want to see the photos and upload them at fox news.comand/we report and we urge you to stay safe. >> the u.s. air force is realing from reports that

they'll reexamine the training process and keep in mind -- thank you very much. if you are a family making less than 250,000 a year, you will not so your tax go up. >> you will not see one dimes worth of tax increase. >> no new taxes, that was a promise that the president made in 2008. it is based on the tower of congress. the vice chair is joining us. welcome and great to have you here. great to be here. >> white house going at great lengths to tell americans that the final overhaul of the

controversial provision is in the a tax but a penalty. how much of a problem is this for a president who pledged back in 2008, he would not raise taxes on his watch. >> both president obama and mitt romney when he was governor of massachusetts saw it differently than the supreme court. the facts really are middle of american medical class have a 23 hundred dollar cut. poem get rebates from the insurance companies because they had excessive bonuses and they are coming back to middle class america. but the medical took on complicated and vexing issues. and now because of his leadership. we have millions of americans and including 17 million kids who have preexisting conditions .

they need to be covered. on day one he will kick the 17 million kids off of health care. do you really think that after all of the debate we have had that we have mitt romney walking in the white whoit and let's move on and let's get it and turn back to theco issues of the economy. >> we'll get back to the issue of whether it is a tax or not. republicans are saying with the high court calling it a tax. this confirms that the administration raised tax with the health care law and begin the fact we are in the midst of a season. it is a campaign for voters. >> the supreme court has rule so it means for instance. mitt romney didn't raise taxes in massachusetts, 20 million came from that fee in

massachusetts. and mitt romney and barak obama have issues. but the reality is. we will solve this debate and time to move on. >> you think that moves on in the presidential debate going forward? >> it is a good question. it is clearly incredibly personality. i am a mayor and i don't spend time in washington and i don't talk to people a lot . but fitalk to a family where their family is about to be kicked off of health care and now they can stay on. that helps poem. and my son can stay on health care to start their career. when i think of seniors with prescription drugs who now got rid of the do nut hole to pret vent. you bet. that is something to campaign on. i hope what we do however not

to go back to the battles of the past. but the president wants to move forward. day one, he will not take on the economy or issues day one. he will repeal a law that is ruled on by the president, congress and supreme court. same thing he did in massachusetts. do you really think that is what this country need said. another couple of years of debate. let's move on. >> we appreciate it >> thank you. we now know at least nine people are killed in deadly storms in the midatlantic there are states of emergency in three states. the very latest on the after math of the powerful storms that hit the country. stay with us. . ving him the business... the designated hitter's the best thing to happen to baseball! but it's not the same game!

i sat down with the congresswoman earlier and asked her about her take. >> i was so disappointed. i hoped that it would declare obama care unconstitutional it is horrific to think that the government can tell any american you have to go out and buy something because we tell you to buy it even if you don't want it and the government sets the price. nothing like that ever happened before. that is outrageous. i think the americans will go to polls in droves and we'll have a president mitt romney and republican senate and house. that's the only way to repeal obama care. we have no more legal options. but now we have a political option and in our system government the poem have the say. >> what is your reaction of the tax and that's why he was able to put it in that context

and say it was constitutional to view it >> he was rewriting the law. that is the deularation of judicial activism. president obama said it was not a tax. harry reed reed said it was not a tax and nancy pelosi said it was not a tax and the language of the law said it was not a tax. it was a schiz - scis prenic. but it is it a tax for purpose of saying we will uphold the law. it was not a tax. it was a glimpseyest argument and no lower court held on it and i have every reason to believe that the american people will show up in november. we have to and it is imperative and we have to bring more people to the polls. not only repeal obama care but the prag natic outcome of all

of this. millions of people are going to lose their jobs because of obama care. >> going forward as a campaign issue when people understand it is it a tax. >> a largest tax increase in history. >> what impact will it have. >> a major impact. i am a former tax law and i ran for president of the united states and mitt romney sees this as a signature issue of president obama and an issue that mitt romney made a big deal about yesterday he made it clear. that there is it a high stark contrast, barak will uphold socialized medicine and mitt romney will not. he will mitt romney will bring down the cost. >> and the fact is, is that a symbolic move knowing that they will not take it upon up.

>> we'll pass the bill to repeal. but it doesn't stop bobmcdonald. stop implement you don't need to do it. myself and jim dement are writing letter from members of the house and senate and telling the ghov govs, the law doesn't require you to implement it until 2014. don't waste money and time. we'll repeal it at the ballot box this november. she believes that it has energized the teparty and they will work to get obama out of office in november. we'll have much more on the devastating storms.

>> welcome back, everybody, more now from my congress with congresswoman michele bachmann and the contempt vote held against attorney general eric holder. >> you have to because no man is above the law. it doesn't matter if you're a janitor in a church basement or the president of the united states. all of us have to under the law, and the same is true for eric holder. and his problem he got found out. he was with a political

program, putting guns in the hands of terrorist ins mexico trying to take our second amendment rights from us. that trap got sprung and eric holder was associated with it and he's not going to give any answers to congress, he can't do that. and the president of the united states is pulling the same thing. he's asserting executive privilege. well, the president isn't above the law either. this is a very real issue. isn't political. this is legal. it looks like eric holder is in major trouble and unfortunately, president obama is trying to cover him on this. this is a serious, serious crime that appears to have taken place or a serious issue, i should say and this is something that needs to be addressed. >> and for example, produced on one day, we had two big issues to deal with, that the day after we see most newspapers playing up the health care vote, and yet, the eric holder situation, you could find it below the fold or inside the pages of the

newspaper rather than being front page news. >> and isn't that shocking bias in the media? you never think that something like that would happen, would you? clearly there is no question, the heed yeah doesn't want the story and eric holder to be told, because it's an ugly story for the obama administration, how complicit is the president and what did he know and eric holder know. darrell issa is a doing a fantastic job, this is about holding all americans to the same standard. >> i think what most people still are having a hard time understanding, if there's nothing to hide, then why was executive privilege asserted here. >> right, exactly. the problem is, there's something to hide. because now we all know, the game is up so to speak, this was a political issue where, again, thousands of dangerous guns were put in the hand of terrorists in mexico, one of those guns killed a united states border patrol agent. and that family deserves to have some answers, and eric holder is saying no.

and what's ironic in all of this, no administration has ever leaked intelligence secrets before, national security secrets like this administration. so the irony in all of this, uma, is that the president of the united states is telling all the secrets to the world that he shouldn't. but he refuses to tell the secrets about fast and furious that he should. and the president and eric holder need to tell the american people the truth. >> thank you very much for joining us today. i really appreciate it, the best to you. >> thanks. >> okay, we have word now that there are ten confirmed deaths in those mid atlantic storms. we'll continue to update those throughout the day and i'm uma, and patti ann browne standing by with the latest. have a great day. >> fox news alert, this just in, at least ten or dead after a violent storm rips across the eastern seaboard and the midwest, the victims, including two children, ages seven and two, and hello
