john feehery is a republican strategist, alex wagner the host of "now" weekdays at noon eastern. alex, a number of news sources out tonight. one of them is the national review, a conservative organization, and the washington examiner which is a bit to the right of that with new stories saying the people on the republican right are planning to step back from a government shutdown in september but the to proceed to an escalation of this fight to the basically defaulting on the national debt. that would be their threat. in the congress moved to fund the affordable care act which is the law of the land, they would cut off if they could any vote to extend the national debt and therefore, of course, default. what do you think of this? >> bad to worse, chris. i don't know. if you thought that holding the debt ceiling hostage was a bad idea, if you thought a continuing resolution holding that hostage was a bad idea, you'll hate this one. republican elders said we cannot hold the country hostage, we can't hold the budget hostage on defunding obama care. it's never going to work. the debt

meanwhile, the world struggling, alex gordon got that one pretty good. taken care of business against john lackey. top of the six the sox make some noise ryan lavar and way exit down -- yanks it down the line. score,the-line the same jacoby ellsbury try to give us alive for the red sox and he went down swinging. the royals took two out of three and are the leaders of the two years ago, the same belt had a disqualification. today a clean start but it was a wet one. there is the fake umbrella. they run it regardless of though. the 50 meter mark both uncurled those long legs. 9.77 seconds officially. sprint cup series at watkins glen normally a haven, tony stewart a five-time winner out with a broken leg. go, sending kasey kahne into the wall. when you get turning right and left of these things are deathly going to happen. we move ahead to the last lap kyle busch can't quite get it done nearly get it done and kyle busch takes it and moves up to fifth in the standings. our news continues right after this. >> or john, what you got? >> tomorrow very similar today the rain chances go up on tuesda

this representative for john boehner says quote the president's signature foreign policy accomplishment has just collapsed. that's the reaction that is coming in. alex, it's important to point out that secretary of state john carry, defense secretary chuck hagel will be meeting with their counterparts, the russian counterparts at the state department on friday. so while this is a setback and really a diplomatic rebuke, there are still some channels of communication moving forward particularly on the issues of afghanistan and iran. >> issues where we certainly need bilateral cooperation. thanks. >> katrina, there are so many questions. i ask you given your experience and your deep knowledge on russian affairs, "the new york times" says that mr. obama's decision to forego the summit with mr. putin is a blow to mr. putin that will deprive him of a high profile moment. i heard a russian analyst this weekend saying the russians are going to consider this an act of weakness, that president obama cannot stand up to the angry voices. >> that's a very interesting point. what we have seen over this last -- well, first of all 22 years since the end of the cold

. >> john: i agree with everything you said except one detail. alex stands for aristocrats elect. have you been impressed with how the mainstream corporate media has covered the the atrocity? cenk? >> cenk: i think they've given it some degree of coverage. it is not because they care tremendously about voting rights. it is that the democratic party does. in one of the major parties cares about the issue, this is a coish for the democrats not just on the issue of justice but on the issue of they'll get less votes if legislation like the one in north carolina and texas pass. so the democrats are kind of forcing the mainstream media to cover it to some extent. it is no paula deen or jodi arias. don't get me wrong. >> john: bill? >> bill: to a limited extent. i haven't seen much about it at all. i've seen a hell of a lot more about paula deen and a lot more certainly about anthony weiner, a lot more about larry summers, frankly. that's an important issue. but not as central to what this country is all about as the voting rights act. >> john: north carolina's the latest state to enact

alex wagner is next. >>> republicans don't have a plan b, and john boehner doesn't seem to have a plan a., august 1st, and this is "now." >>> as congress prepares for its hard won month long august recess ahead of a looming fiscal fight in the fall, the two parties do not seem to be on the same page or really even reading from the same book. >> i'm willing to work with republicans on reforming our corporate tax code. >> cutting red tape makes sense. it creates jobs and puts more money into your wallet. >> we've got to have a serious, steady, long-term, american strategy to reverse the long-term erosion of middle class security. >> the doctotodoctor's office i last place anyone would want to find the irs. >> indeed. as the president focuses on middle class jobs and the long term health of the american economy, house republicans are spending last few days before break voting on a grab bag of partisan goodies, or as "the washington post" calls them, scandal bills. there is the stop irs act. there is the stop playing on citizens cash act. and there is the crown jewel of scandalville's -- the

john, thank you for joining us on this friday afternoon. >> hey, alex. >> a lot of people think maybea big deal out of nothing, this pick. but at the end of the day president obama in that same press conference the other week said the federal reserve chair is not just one of the most important policy makers, he is one of the most important policy makers in the world and that person will stay on after i'm president so this along with supreme court appointments is probably as important a decision as i make as president. i mean putting it on par with a scotus nomination. what do you think of it, john? >> absolutely that is correct. look, it is the most important appointment that we know the president is going to make in his second term. maybe he'll get a supreme court nomination. we saw that during the financial crisis when the choice of george w. bush, whose economic record was maligned by democrats for quite a long time, turned out to be a vital partner with president obama in trying to stop the financial crisis and get the recovery going. so we are not making too big a deal of it. the

john mccain, as you just heard, saying there needs to be a stronger response. he also said that the obama administration is really planning a cosmetic response. then you have other members of congress, alex, saying the president needs to call the entire body back from recess so they can vote on this. i don't anticipate this is actually going to happen. but house speaker john boehner saying the president needs to do a better job of mapping out his objectives. the strategy will be in what the end game will be. so i anticipate that this briefing will be aimed at sort of celling those concerns those concerns we have heard aired publicly. president obama making it very clear, though, at this point in time he is anticipating a limited strike. take a listen to a little bit more of what he had to say yesterday. >> we're not considering any open-ended commitment. we're not considering any boots-on-the-ground approach. we will consider options that meet the narrow concern around chemical weapons. >> now, the pentagon does have a military plan in place, alex. there are five missile destroyers in the mediterranean. some submarines there as well, as the obama administration continues to make its case
