i'm bill hemmer, good morning, nice to see you. good morning. alisyn: good morning, bill. as you're saying, everybody got in a zinger at some point. i'm alisyn camarota in for martha maccallum. they're all republicans but the only thing they agreed on is the opposition to president obama's polities. bill other than that it was partisan politics on the front and center stage. here's rick santorum and ron paul's back and forth. >> you ask the israelis what keeps them up at night it's hamas, hezbollah, the support of syria, and the reason -- let me finish. i know the rules, you guys have been given these guys a whole lot of time and -- >> you have a question coming. the senator is wrong on his history. we've been at war in iran for a lot longer than '79. we started it in 1953, when we sent in the coup, installed the shah and the reaction, the blowback came in 1979, it's been going on and on, because we just plain don't mind our own business. that's our problem. bill: let's get to the moderator, bret baier for "special report", live in iowa, good morning to you. i mentioned yo

bill: somewhere in there as we move our way -- i'm bill hemmer. do you -- how you doing alisyn? >> alisyn: doing fine, i'm alisyn camarota, the dow plunged 525 points on wednesday. what does it look like today? >> bill: gerri willis, the jobs number, it's still a tough road out there. >> it's still a tough road. four hundred thousand is a tipping point but i got to tell you if you have 395,000 people filing for unemployment claims in a week, that's not good news, they also revised last week's numbers. we've been at this level about 17, 18 weeks. does not bode well for employment. bill: they revised last week's number? because that was greater than 400,000. it went to what, gerri? >> i don't have that number off the top of my head. bill: gotcha. often times they revise the numbers they're worse off than initially, what is -- which is a great point to make. what is expected today, another day of dramamine? >> another day of dramamine. i have to tell you things have improved from this morning when the dow was down triple digits, now it looks like the open might not be as bad as expe

i'm bill hemmer. welcome to america's newsroom. what is that? alisyn: a thin fry? a big day in the senate. the senate vote on this debt ceiling legislation is set for noon today. let's go to doug mcelway live on capitol hill. is there any doubt this will pass in the senate? >> reporter: this promises to be anti-climatic. the senate lacks the far left wings and far right wings we have seen in the house. there are some senators who plan to vote no. senator mike lee of utah was on fox news expressing his discontent with this bill. we can probably expect a no vote. also probably senator rand paul of kentucky, maybe ron johnson of wisconsin. so no votes there but certainly not enough to change the course of this thing being signed by the president later today. alisyn: the debt ceiling has been raised 40 times in the last 30 years. how does today's vote change the course of politics in d.c. >> it's difficult to overstate how much this has changed poll nick d.c. when congress comes back it will be looking at the end of a fiscal year the even of september. this super commi

gregg: i'm gregg jarrett in for bill hemmer. an apparent victory for the rebel fighters, president obama saying in a statement sunday qaddafi's time is gefer, but guess what -- time is over, but guess what, he may not agree with that. take a listen: >> everyone should go out, i am with you in tripoli, no going back, we should go to the end of the earth that we want to liberate from the occupier. don't allow the occupier to future their -- put their foot in our land. i am with you in this battle as i always promised. we will never surrender. martha: wendell goler live at the state department, we'll go to him in a moment but first to dominic di-natale. what's the latest on the ground in tripoli? >> reporter: i understand there is heavy fighting report ud outside the compound which is qaddafi's strong hold. it's uncertain whether he's inside there. the telephone calls in the past 24 hours, it is alleged he is inside the city but there are rumors he has fled to algeria. none of that is confirmed at this time. there's also heavy figh

i'm bill hemmer, good morning to you and good morning to alisyn. alisyn: we're headed up for the moment, that's good! i'm alisyn camarota in for martha maccallum. we are expecting turmoil in the markets after the downgrade of the s&p. yesterday it started slow but it finished with an epic swan dive. bill: president obama insisting america will prevail. >> i know we're going through a tough time right now. we've been going through a tough time for the last 2 1/2 years. i know a lot of people are worried about the future. but here's what i also know. there will always be economic factors that we can't control. earthquakes, spikes in oil prices, slowdowns in other parts of the world. but how we respond to those tests, that's entirely up to us. bill: up 155 at the moment. it is positively wall street. for now, neil cavuto, senior vice president and managing editor of fox news, good morning to you. here's what we're trying to figure out. was this a classic case of overselling? or did the concerns about our economy and the world's economy trump everythin

good morning, everybody, i'm bill hemmer. we'll find the silver lining. alisyn: we will. bill: how you doing? alisyn: i'm doing all right. it wasn't just here at home, markets took a beating worldwide. bill: they certainly did. opening bell just about 30 minutes away. stuart varney with a very busy day yesterday on the fox business network. first the numbers. what do we need to understand? >> reporter: okay. there was a modest sigh of relief when those numbers were released. the unemployment rate down to 9.1%, 117,000 new jobs created in the month of july. okay. a mod sigh of relief. modest sigh of relief. didn't last all that long because when you start digging in to the numbers, you can see this is by no means a dynamic recovery from the slowdown we saw earlier in the year. 117,000 new jobs does not make it if you want to put a dent in the overall unemployment situation, and you have to remember that 37,000 state government jobs were lost last month. we predicted this, it is happening. big layoffs at the state worker level. so you've got a sigh of relief, it's modest, at

i'm bill hemmer, good morning. alisyn: good morning to you, i'm al sin camarota. our debt is more than 100% of our gdp. this is the largest one-day bump in history. bill: can't make it up. stuart varney, fox business network, what does all this mean to you and me? >> reporter: let's spell it out in plain establish, the economy is $14.5 trillion, the debt is $14.5 trillion. in other words, the debt is now 100% of our economy. haven't seen that since 1947 coming out of world world war i. as you said, bill, we're in the same league now as italy. what does it mean? it means that the debt situation is worsening very, very rapidly, and it means that the debt deal just completed is meaningless as far as deficit reduction is concerned in the short term. for the markets for your money, it means that the stock market is going to go down again today big time, and the price of gold is going up again big time. bill: you were the first to report this is pretty much a wash because the down economy brings in less revenues to wash and wipes out the gains they made in this debt deal

shortly afterwards she appeared on fox news and said this to bill hemmer. >> the parties don't matter the substance that matters to me. i want to hear from all sides. i think we need all sides to make meaningful change and make the right decisions going forward. so of course i'll listen to it. it's an important part of the landscape. by at the end of the day i believe in the change i voted for and that's the change i'll support to the very end. megyn: that was then, how does she feel now. you are one woman. but you are one woman who got a whole lot of national attention for having a very candid and frank moment with the president of the united states. and you became sort of representative of what a lot of american are going through. here we are one year later. and the president is now about to unveil his jobs plan. and you think what about that plan of his? >> i don't know that i have a single thought about his individual plan. but what this year has definitely proven is i had good cause to be concerned, not just an issue with the president, but the entire congress. again, i said this
