rick? >> rick: so that's the president's plan. republicans said that's not the right idea though, right? >> republicans say the reason that the u.s. has such a debt problem now is not because americans are not paying enough in taxes. it's because washington spends too much. >> the situation has only gotten worse after the obama administration in its first two years in office, discretionary spending skyrocketed by 84%, including the failed stimulus, with spending reaching 25% of our nation's economic output. we haven't seen spending levels this high since world war ii! >> republican house speaker john boehner has stole the president repeatedly that he does not have the votes in the house to pass a debt reduction package that includes tax hikes. house republicans are insisting that any increase in the debt ceiling is matched with equal or more spending cuts. rick? >> rick: molly henneberg, thank you. >> arthel: time is running out, we are now less than one week away from the first critical de

rick?re are some new reports suggesting democrats would like president obama to break the stalemate over the debt ceiling by relying on his own constitutional powers. this coming as both parties appear to be digging in their heels. supporters point to the 14th constitution. which says in part the validity of the debt of the united states including payments for pensions. 0 democrats agree that could support the president's raising the limit without getting congressional approval ahead of time. doug schoen is a former pollster for former president bill clinton. happy 4th of july. let me start with you. can you imagine president obama doing this? what if he does? >> i can imagine him doing it. he has trampled on the constitution before with the creation of the czars. or administration edict. i can see him doing it. but one side go ahead and do it. it will let the republicans off the hook. the other part says don't do it because you are exceeding your constitutional authority. but either way th

[laughter] this is a position that's being taken by people of both parties and no party. jenna: tempers still flaring along partisan lines back at the capital. here's dan coats on the floor of the senate lashing out at majority leader harry reid a little earlier this morning. >> >> i guess we're all getting frustrated. it's 100 and some degrees heat index outside, and i can understand people getting worked up about all this sort of thing. but the future of america's at stake, and this majority leader is not allowing us to deal with it. j

so rick perry, these are the people who rick perry is trying to crawl out of bed with. right now, in time for him to run for president. not as a rick santorum candidate, sort of a religious right also ran. but as a real contender. do you think he has a chance to be a real contender? >> well, i do think he has a chance to be a real contender because he has been governor of texas for years and years, and it's a big state. it's got lots of money. the state hasn't completely crumbled, since he's been governor. that's quite a base to run from. and as a certain george w. bush proved a few years ago. so i think he immediately -- plus, you know, what do republicans think about the field they have right now? they're not thrilled. >> with the george w. bush reference you just made, i have to ask you, we talked a couple of nights on the show about douglas fife, famously denounced by lawrence wilkerson, i think he said seldom in my life have i met a dumber man. all these people who served in the bush administration blame douglas fife for everything. rick perry called douglas fife a

they are replacing pawlenty with rick perry, who is not technically running yet. although it seems he is going to run. he's taking steps to sort of clean up his act, to scrub his record a little bit, to thin out connections between him and more headline worthy people with whom he's associated. as you know, perry is hosting a extravaganza in texas next weekend. the official endorsers include a pastor who says that talk show host oprah winfrey is the harbinger of the anti-christ, another pastor who said god september hitler to hunt the jews, another who claims softness in the japanese stock market as a result of the emperor of japan having sex with demons of the all those pastors have been highlighted on the website of the stadium prayer event as event endorsers. names there, pictures there, you get information about them. late last night we noticed something about that, the menu at the top of rick perry's website no longer has a link to all of the events endorsers that it has been endorsing all this time. after growing attention, the endorser link has been removed,

forgive me, not rick perry in the flesh, but the image of rick perry, beamed into south carolina, southina pastors. i continue to believe that governor rick perry of texas is the dark horse in the republican race and that he has a great shot at the nomination. here is what to watch for in coming days. saturday, iowa gets to decide who gets a slot in the straw poll, a sort of scammy fund-raising things that helps the iowa republican party and doesn't help the candidates. rick perry, of course, is not a declared candidate for president, but there are signs his operatives are trying to get him on that straw poll ballot in iowa, even though he's not declared. if iowa republican party decides they want it, the rick perry noncampaign makes it happen and he turns up on that ballot, i tell you, consider it done, the guy is in. >>> polls closed just under an hour ago in wisconsin's first recall election this year. not a primary, the actual election. this is a republican challenger running against an incumbent democratic state senator, david hanson. senator hanson left the state of wisconsin in f

rick perry said no. the supreme court said the only way to enforce the law is for congress to take action. so the obama administration took the very rare step of the federal government wading into a state criminal case. not over the issue of whether or not the prisoner was innocent or guilty, but over whether or not texas could kill him. without ever letting him get help from his home government. john ballinger, a lawyer who served the state department in the george w. bush department, arguing in this case, it should be obvious to anyone, including officials in texas, that if americans, including texans, are arrested and detained in some other country and the united states complains they have not been given their consular notice, it will be pointed out to us that the united states does not comply with our own international obligations on this. it cuts the legs out from under the state department, he said. to make arguments on behalf of americans who are detained abroad. the white house, the justice depar

all right, rick, way to go. let me just say a couple of they cans by way -- things by way of introduction. the path he took is the path i took. my first book was a regnery book promoted by manhattan, and 21st century city which you're kind enough to at least assert you read at one point in time, and it's been great to watch the story of cities over the last 20 years. i began as mayor of indianapolis with kind of an explicit manhattan agenda, literally. cities could be great places that celebrated their diversities and assets and could come back again. this was a period of time as you remember where several of us coming into the early '90s took large cities -- not as large as this one, but we could apply some conservative principles to produce really good results. and to some extent we did that. one of the things i noticed about rick's book and his approach particularly dear to my heart which is that cities are diverse places, and if you can apply conservative principles, you can create opportunities for all of y

rick santorum. recently, rick perry. although he is not on the ballot, there is an effort to get right-in votes for him -- write-in votes for him. again, the straw poll is not the caucus. i expect it will be an open and fluid situation, and obviously, people will do better than expectations. could give them a real boost for the iowa caucuses and the subsequent primaries and caucuses in other states. >> can you give us a sense about the history of the straw poll in? do you think that in recent years, its impact on the race at large has been diminished? >> actually, i think it has grown in its influence. more people participate, and it has been a nice fund-raiser for the republican party in the state of iowa. yet, i think we need to look at it realistically. this is not a scientific survey. it is an early test of organization. it is sometimes not who wins it but who exceeds expectations. last time, a lot of people thought that then senator brownback, who is now the governor of kansas, would do well, actually, what happened

now rick worried someone else might have his information too.o he marched down to walgreens and reported the mix-up. the manager promised the corporate office would correct the mistake. >> i have been waiting over two months and haven't heard anything back yet, so that's why i contacted abc 7 on your side. >> we checked it out and found carol's information was still showing up here in rick's account. and that's two months later. we called the number listed on the account. sure enough, carol picked up. she was surprised about the mix-up. >> i don't feel horribly threatened or anything because i don't care that much personally, but just the idea. a lot of people really would care, and it's wrong. it's wrong. >> we also contacted walgreens and the company took this very seriously. it tracked down the problem and a few days later rick opened his account again. >> wow, they fixed it. >> walgreens said we are sorry this occurred and have apologized to the patient. we take online security very seriously. the customer's account has now been fixed. in ad
