bret baier has that for us. hey, bret. >> gabriel giffords statement from her office quote in the words of the congresswoman i have closely followed the debate over our debt ceiling. and have been deeply disappointed at what's going on in washington. as you look at that video. after weeks of failed debate in washington, i was pleased to see a solution to this crisis emerge. i strongly believe that crossing the aisle for the good of the american people is more important than party politics. i had to be here for this vote i could not take the chance that my absence could crash our economy. this the first vote she has crashed since she was shot and critically wounded january 8th in tucson meeting with her constituents. and obviously a moment of redemption for this otherwise irredeemable episode of american politics in tucson. this vote breakdown, shep, comes down to democrats, yes, yeas, 95. democratic nos, 95; republican yeas, 174. republican nos, 66. and, remember, that when this vote starts, members could change

bret baier is the moderator of last evening's big event. bret, all right, so we had pawlenty going after bachmann, santorum going after ron paul and newt gingrich going after you. here's the clip, stand by. [laughter] >> speaker ding rich, as president obama was deciding what to do in libya, you were asked what you would do. you said, quote, communicate to the libyan military that gadhafi was gone and the sooner they switched sides, the more likely they were to survive. you said, quote, i would not have intervened, i think there were a lot of other ways to affect gadhafi. are you now certain about the way forward in libya? >> well, let me suggest this is a good example of a gotcha question. >> no, it's not. >> yes, it is. no, go back previous to greta van susteren two weeks earlier when i said what we should do is go in covertly, use egyptian and other allies, not use american forces -- >> but, mr. speaker, you said -- >> that's right. i said that thing specifically after the president that day announced gloriously to the world as president

and bret baier had his hands full, trying to balance that microphone! >> are the jobs going to bam wack -- come back? >> you got to worry -- bill: they were, all eight of them, making a case to the commander in chief only hours ahead of perhaps the most pivotal gop event in the ballot for the white house, counting down to the weekend's iowa strow poll, it can be in some years a crystal ball on the presidential field, now candidates, gauging reaction to the performances in last night's debate. brand new hour for "america's newsroom", a lot to get to. like herding cats last night, wasn't it! 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

bret baier is standing by with a us as well, bret and, obviously, this economic news still very muchthe forefront of everyone's mind as we move ahead. we can't forget that there's an election next year. >> reporter: sure. and we have a debate next week in ames, iowa. thursday, august 11th, a republican debate on fox which will be the next big event ahead of the iowa straw poll on saturday or the andth. the 13th. so it will all factor in this, and there will be a lot of talk about domestic policy and the economy and all of this and the debate and how the presidential candidates have weighed in to this whole thing. obviously, congresswoman michele bachmann has been firm in her stance that she would not vote to raise the debt ceiling. mitt romney was against this deal, but others supported it, like jon huntsman. just some specifics about what's happening now, this compromise bill now that it has passed the house, it has passed the senate, it will be signed by the president pro tem and the speaker. it will be physically signed. and then it will physically make its way down pennsylvania a

he also was unhappy with bret baier when he asked him a question about libya.lot of viewers, as steve was saying, responded 'cause they thought that fox moderators were asking questions that kept the candidates on their toes and took them out of their talking points mode for once. one of the questions came from bret baier about governor rick perry who is not in the room and his name seemed to hover above -- what was the sense on the moderating panel? did it seem like governor rick perry's name was hovering above the entire debate? >> i think that's somewhat overstating it, clayton. but what i would say is that, look, if you're a political reporter, you know this race is going to change this weekend. one thing is going to be the ames straw poll. i don't think you can win in ames. it's not make, but it is break. if some of these candidates who have particularly focused on iowa were to finish very poorly, they might just drop out of the race. but it will also change this weekend because rick perry is going to get in and he immediately vaults and becomes one of the
