good morning and welcome to this friday edition of early start nice to have you with us. >> we're bringing you the news, 5:00 a.m. in the east. so let's get started. up first, renewing the war with just about four months until election day, republicans with a rallying point. they are promise to go do what the supreme court did not do, toss in the trash the health care reform law. sarah palin with a bit of sar kachl even thanked the supreme court in a facebook post. here it is. thank you, scotus. this obama care ruling fires up the troops as america's eyes are opened. thank god. joe johns will join us so that we can chat about this a little bit. joe, are you there? we'll get him a little later and talk about what this this means politically moving forward. and in the meantime, let's do this, shall we, because what a day it was. if you had your tv news set on, it was a whiplash because another war has been renewed with just four months until election day. republicans are really squaring off and saying they're going to take obama care to the matt, but is thing, kind of trump that had argument. because the first sitting cabinet member ever to be cited for con empty it of congress, well, he heard it and he heard it loud and clear. the house voted to hold the attorney general in contempt for failing to turn over documents related to that fast and furious oig gun running operation that really failed, the sting that resulted in the death of a u.s. border agent. more than 100 democrat positive get about it, we're not even going to vote on this, we'll boycott it and walk out in protest all together. the white house and eric holder dismissing all of this as just politically motivated. >> today's vote may make for good political theater in the minds of some, but it is at base both a crass effort and grave disservice to the american people. they expect and they deserve far more. >> president obama asserted executive privilege, you you probably heard that, for the first time in his administration and he said the documents that were subpoenaed by house republicans can't be. but watch this, because things could still change in a challenge. >> so let's go back to that historic decision yesterday from the supreme court. joe johns is joining us live in washington, d.c. and we watched as mitt romney went to the podium under that sign that says repeal and replace obama care and he said it will be his first order of business if he becomes president of the united states. but there is a renewed pledge to start this process before. you can tell us about that? >> yeah, it's just another day like the other day. it's all about election year politics right now. and from now until election day, we'll hear the republican battle cry of repeal bobama care again and again and again. the simple analysis is that the decision should help rally the republican base. mitt romney has been honing that message for a long time, he's only expected to pick it up. the speaker of the house made it pretty clear that he and his troops will move quickly to hold a vote on appealing the law on july 11th, though it's equally clear it will be nothing more than a symbolic vote in the house of representatives because of course democrats control the senate and senate democratic leader harry reid has said he's not going there. let's listen now to speaker boehner's comments. >> i think the real outcome of today's decision is to strengthen our resolve to make sureis l is in fact repe repealed. we'll work every single day between now and election day and the american people then will get an opportunity to make their decision on election day. because elections have consequences. >> so you're waking up this morning, you're hearing it's for the most part a historic day for the president of the united states, still the truth is president obama that high school a lot of work on to do to sell the health care plan. polls show a lot of people in this country do not like the individual mandate and still don't even after all we've heard about it. and now, though, they do say they like some of the other components of the laws, the individual mandate that's a problem for the president and he still has to sell that. back to you. >> it seems that he's really focusing on the humanity of this bill, right? pre-existing conditions, free checkups for women, the extension of parental coverage to kids up to the age of 26. do you think those are the issues that he will focus on as selling points as we move towards the election? >> yeah, absolutely. and like i said, the components of the law are things that a lot of americans like when you just take them and say, well, do you like this, do you like the pre-existing piece, do you like that. but when you say do you like president obama's health care law and do you like the individual mandate, many times they say no and more americans say no than yes. so this selling job obviously very important for the president of the united states. at the same time when democrats are also saying we need to focus on jobs and the economy. so taking it all to november and we'll hear a lot more about this. >> yesterday as they were sampling public opinions and folks saying at the end of the day, they're really worried about how do we pay for something like this. so it will be interesting going forward. thank you so much for joining us. it's 6 past 5:00 and mitt romney is now vowing to take this fight over health care all the way to november saying that we can repeal this health care law by voting out president obama. >> what the court did not do on its last day in session, i will do on my first day if elected president of the united states. and that is i will act to repeal obama care. >> many democratic critics are already coming back and saying obama care was modeled after romney care when he was governor of massachusetts. >> in the meantime, hospital company stocks jumped likely because they won't have to provide as much free care and they'll probably see a whole bunch more patients. and health insurance companies, the ones that administer medicaid and medicaid, are up 9% by the end of the day. just ahead on starting point, soledad o'brien will talk to president obama's deputy campaign manager and also virginia's governor, his state is one 26 states that sued the goechl government over health care. jason altmire voted in favor of both con attempt contempt charges and he'll join soledad o'brien the 7:00. and new this morning for you, european leaders are agreeing to a special bailout fund to help struggling banks in spain and greece and italy. under the terms of the deal, eurozone countries can seek money from the fund to rescue local banks without incurring more debt on their balance sheets. stock markets in france and germany have rallied almost 2.5%. what it means to us in a couple minutes. and secretary of state hillary clinton in russia for talks with the country's foreign minister, trying to find common ground in syria. clinton will attend an emergency meeting tomorrow on the crisis in syria led by u.n. envoy and meantime tensions continue to escalate. the turkish government sending troops and tanks to the border, vowing to respond to any hostile action by the assad regime. last week syria shut down a turkish fighter jet. a soldier is dead and two others are wounded at a shoot at ft. bragg. a spokesman says the shooter turned the gurp on himself but didn't do the trick. he was wounded and taken into custody. >> this is obviously a tragedy for our clubity and we don't yet know the reasons for the shooting. but we're working with the unit and the affected families to help them through this extremely difficult period. >> the victims have not been identified. the military is how in the process of telling the families. george zimmerman expected in front of a judge today seeking a brand new bond after the first bail got yanked away from him. zimmerman has admitted to misrepresenting his finances at that first bond hearing. but his attorneys argue that he is not a flight risk and that he poses no danger to the community. zimmerman is currently in a jail cell awaiting charges of second degree murder in the shooting death of trayvon martin. >> and it is history at the nba draft. for the first time ever, the hornets selected kentucky big man and unibrow spokesperson anthony davis, the 19-year-old chicago native was born just one month into bill clinton's first term as president. then charlotte followed by taking fellow wild cat michael kid gilchrist. but the most touching and unexpected moment came in round two. chance of usa for florida state center bernard james. that was an incredible moment. but listen to this, he was selected 33rd overall. he is 27-year-old, ancient by draft standards. but that's because he already served three tours of duty in the united states air force in iraq and afghanistan. nice to watch him, too. >> now ten past 5:00. and the wildfires in colorado just keep getting worse. we have another report of a death there. and hundreds of homes have been destroyed irks even more than the 200 you'd already heard about. the president is heading there today to get a firsthand look at what is now officially a disaster area. we'll take you there live. you get a 50% annual bonus. and everyone likes 50% more cash -- well, except her. no! but, i'm about to change that. ♪ every little baby wants 50% more cash... ♪ phhht! fine, you try.

officially now will this has been declared a disaster area like people leak you who are on the ground will didn't already know, any relief in sight some i feel like a broken record asking it, but it's a critical question. >> reporter: well, yesterday we got lucky with the weather, but the damage done as you mentioned. and now official counts are coming out as far as how many homes destroyed. 346. so that makes this the most destructive wildfire in colorado history. and the folks whose homes were destroyed, many of them were informed last night. and some of them will be allowed to go back in their homes today, but many won't still for several days because there are still 20,000 plus homes that are threatened by this fire. 15% containment, but there you see some of the flames the past couple days. it is still volatile inside the fire lines. it is still bone dry. there is no hardcore rain expected over the next several days. so that will be a problem. there are victims all over the place. many are staying in the low tells around, in shelters. in our hotel, the chef that runs the kitchen of the hotel, he's one of the folk, he and his wife, that are displaced with their homes being threatened. and he's frustrated along with everybody else with not knowing. here's what he told me yesterday with that frustration. >> the not knowing is probably the biggest frustration right now because it could all be there or it could all be in ashes. just don't know. >> reporter: he has seen pictures, videos of his neighbors' homes going up in flames. you can imagine how concerned he was. last night he was told that he and his wife that his block was saved. and that's the kind of dichotomy going on for the next few days. let's talk about the weather over the next few days. no real rain in sight. here's the five day forecast for the waldo canyon and colorado springs area. temperatures in the 90s. and any thunderstorms will only get the winds more erratic. we want calm winds and temperatures preferably below 900, but we'll take them below 100 which is where they were. that heat has shifted off to the east. all-time record high yesterday in st. louis, 108. little rock, 107. nashville, 105. notable number in chicago, you reached 100 degrees. the first time you've done that since 2005. so this is some of the worst heat we've seen in over half a decade. here's what we're looking at as far as heat advisories and point out one thing, there is a sliver of thunderstorms moving through the new york metropolitan area, but that is not going to cool you off. that will only bring in some drier air which will cook your temperatures into the 90s. two dozen plus states under heat warning today. do what you can to stay cool. >> we're in a pretty sound proof studio here at columbus circle in new york city, and we can hear the thunder rumbling around us. not something you often hear. so i see what you're saying. we'll come back and check in with you on this just to see

because you'll be fined, actually taxed according to the supreme court, you you can be taxed by the government if you don't. start in 2014, if you are uninsured, this is the tax on your family. $285. by 2015, it's $975. and look by 2016, will is when they want health care reform to be fully implemented, $2,000 a family or about 2.5% of your income. there are subsidies, though, to help you pay for your insurance to make it affordable. that's the whole point of this thing and that's why -- >> is that like a sliding scale? because a lot of folks were asking that yesterday when wolf blitzer was on, there was a group of gentlemen, they were like how am i going to pay. >> you'll pay because you'll xwaet sget a subsidy for it. the kaiser family foundation has a calculator that helps you figure out what your family will get. i'll tweet that and our home page. so that you can take a look at that. but there are calculators out there to help you figure it out. but the bottom line here is that you'll get subsidies to afford insurance if you don't already have it and you'll get fined if you don't do it. now, what if you have insurance through your employer? we all have insurance through our employer. nothing changes it for us. our premiums are still going up, i'm paying more every year. i think i'm paying 12% or 15% more this year than i paid last year. that's 3r0eb8 going to continue. one of the concerns is that us a get later into 2016, 2017, 20u 18, employers might stop dropping coverage and pushing on you to the state exchanges. so that could be something to watch. and i think the cbo expects a couple of million a year starting in maybe 2 million to 4 million people start manage 2019 will start losing coverage through their employer. >> a whole new area to look into. >> everything is changing. >> and state exchanges, we'll want to know, what's out there for us if we do get dumped. >> we already know. three levels. bronze, silver and gold. you get to pick how much coverage do you want, do you just want catastrophic, do you want a gold standard plan so that you have a big family that you have to cover. a lot of this has already been laid out. >> is there a place that we can read about this to understand better? what about -- >> there's been complaints the white house hasn't done a good job of lay heing this all there. i'll tweet tweet some links. there are some good analysis. it's been around for two years. we know about the changes. now it's the law of the land. the states are already doing it. >> all right. christine, thank you very much. 29 past 5:00. are you ready for this?

>> that's the look on the door. >> mine are too young. they're babies. good morning, it's 34 past the hour. nice to have you with us. let's start you off this way. the supreme court ruling upholding president obama's health care law and that has just invigorated the fight on both sides. republicans now vowing to take this fight all the way to november. >> this is now a time for the american people to make a choice. you can choose whether you want to have a larger and larger government, more intrusive in your life, separating you and your doctor, whether you're comfortable with more deficits, higher debt, or whether you want to return to a time when the american people will have their own choice in health care. >> that's one way to look at it and there's definitely another way to look at it. and athena jones has been looking at both sides on certainly how this will play into the election rhetoric. whether you're spiking the football over the big win or whether you're angry like mitt romney, this has to do a whole lot for the fund raises effort on both sides. >> absolutely. this is going to be a big issue in this election. as you heard from mitt romney, and not just mitt romney, as you you heard from the republican national committee and their sames after the ruling, from people like representative michele bachmann who said republicans have exhausted their legal solutions, now we have to look to a political solution, the only way to repeal this health care law is to make sure the president is not reelected. this is all of course an effort to rev up their base, to energize supporters on the republican side who don't like this law. and if the fund-raising numbers that the romney campaign released last night are any indication, they're having some success with that. as of 9:00 p.m., they said they had raised $3.2 million after this supreme court decision came down. so that's quite a chunk of change. they did this through e-mail, they did this through twitter. they set up a hash tag to tout their efforts. and that $3.2 million haul is quite a big one for one day. >> and what about the democrats and president obama specifically. i haven't seen football spiking so to speak, but what have they done and how are they going to capitalize on what could be considered a really big win for them? >> it's interesting you say that, not spiking the football. after the ruling, there was another e-mail from the campaign, but it really just asked for supporters to sign up for their supporter database. we haven't seen any hard numbers from the campaign on what they raised, but we know it will be a big issue. listen to the president yesterday after the ruling. >> i didn't do this because it was good politics. i did it because i believed it was good for the country. i did it because i believed it was good it for the american people. >> and so you can bet this will affect fund-raising efforts. the congress at campaign committee has started using it as a fund-raising tool. but the real issue here, they say they didn't do it because it was good politics, but this is now going to be their opportunity and they're really going to need to sell this health care law all over again in some ways since it's shaping up to be such a big campaign issue for help and so key perhaps to his re-election. >> at first i thought there was a thunderstorm in new york city, but now i see it's just the whirring of the spin machines getting going for the next couple of months. athena jones, thanks very much. 37 past the hour. the waldo canyon fire burning for nearly a week in colorado springs exploding overnight destroying close to 350 homes making it the most destructive wildfire in that state's history. police announcing late last night the body of one person was found in a bushed home. a second person there is still missing. rob marciano is in colorado springs. this is a long and intensely burning fire. there are a lot of firefighters on the scene. on you are they holding up?

>> because eric holder is the first sitting united states attorney general to be cited for contempt of congress. >> new this morning, european leaders agree to a special bailout fund to help struggling banks. under the terms of the deal, eurozone -- stock markets in europe rallied on the news of this big decision. for more on stocks, christine romans joins us. >> george zimmerman expected back in front of a judge seeking a new bond hearing after the first bail of $150,000 got yanked. zimmerman admitted he misrepresented his finances at that first bond hearing. but his lawyers are arguing that he is not a flight risk and he's not posingny danger to the community and therefore he should get a second shot at this. zimmerman is currently sitting in a jail cell and awaiting a trial on the charges of second degree murder in the shooting death of trayvon martin. the crisis in syria topping the agenda for secretary of state hillary clinton as she meets in russia with the foreign minister. russia opposed the idea of regime change in syria. tensions are he is ka raescalae following the downing of a turkish jet last week. a u.s. soldier is dead and two others wounded from fort bragg in north carolina, a shooting there. a spokesman saying the shooter ended upturning the gun on himself after all of those -- after the killing and wounding. he didn't die after doing that. instead was taken into custody. >> this is obviously a tragedy for our community and we don't know the reasons for the shooting but we are working with the unit and affected families to help them through this extremely difficult period. >> victims in the story have not yet been identified because the military is in the process of notifying the families. renewing the war. boy is this a war, just about four months to go until election day and republicans certainly have a rallying point this morning. it's our top story. we've been on this all morning, the republicans saying, you know what, we're going to do what the supreme court did not do yesterday. we're going to ickes ney. sarah palin decided to thank the supreme court and it says this, thank you scotus, this fires up the troops as america's eyes are opened. thank god. she finishes off her post. our joe johns is live on capitol hill with the rest of this story. all right -- you're in washington, let me tell you. joe, it's kind of a little bit backwards, a lot of people saying a win or loss will have to be stomached evenly. in this sense it looks like the republicans are taking a loss and making it a win by putting the fire in other republicans' bellies. >> we thought it might play out like that if it is the scenario the supreme court came up with. we're going to hear the republican battle cry of repeal obama care again and again. the simple analysis is the decision the supreme court should help rally the republican base though the battle lines aren't changed at all after the supreme court ruling chingt the speaker of the house made it clear he and his troops are going to move quickly to hold a vote to repeal the law on july 11th, equally clear, it will be nothing more than a symbolic votes in the house because harry reid said he's not going there. listen to what boehner said just yesterday. >> i think the real outcome of today's decision is to strengthen our resolve to make sure that this law is in fact repeeled. we're going to work every single day between now and election day and the american people then will get an opportunity to make their decision on election day because elections have consequences. >> any substantive attack on the health care law will have to wait until after the election. there may be attempts to nip around the edges of the affordable care act, we could so attempts to change con tra d sechtive coverage exemptions. the supreme court certainly teed that up with its ruling just yesterday, tea partyiers have a whole new -- on how much they are spending, you see mitt romney's mantra to repeal obama care. >> it would see now it's about the marketing. but at the same time, i have a question for you, and i'm not sure anybody can answer it early on. they've got anger and outrage, but if the republicans do push this as you said what's considered a symbolic vote because they won't get past the senate, is there a chance it could back fire and they might start to annoy people? people may have had enough of this and congress has a 77% disapproval rating. >> that's always possible. if you look at the polling, it's been pretty consistent and for a while. that polling has suggested that people don't like the individual mandate, maybe that's partly because republicans have done a good job at attacking the health care plan. they do like individual pieces but the individual mandate has been a problem. that suggests that the president and his administration and democrats as they move forward will have to do a selling job of their own. it's marketing on the democratic side right now. >> boy is it ever? >> joe johns, thanks very much. appreciate it. >> history at the nba draft. for first time ever, teammates went one and two, new orleans horne hornets, checking anthony davis, the chicago native was born o month into bill clinton's term as president. charlotte followed by taking taking michael kidd gilchrist. and the most unexpected and touching moment came in round two. >> moving for him as well. chants of usa for bernard james, echs just selected 33rd overall, 27 years old, which is ancient by draft terms, he served three tours of duty in iraq and afghanistan. can't wait to watch him play. >> he's my favorite already, just from that. just from that. thank you, sir, for your service, you deserve every penny you get in this new job. we want to get you back out to colorado. we've been following this huge story, the wildfires in colorado, nearly 40,000 people evacuated. now the president has decided he's got to go there and it is a disaster area officially. we'll have a live report next. e. and the chefs at lean cuisine are loving tangy lemon, peppery poblano, sweet butternut. we're roasting, and grilling to create must-have meals with no preservatives. lean cuisine. be culinary chic. get two times the points on dining in restaurants with chase sapphire preferred. if you made a list of countries from around the world... ...with the best math scores. ...the united states would be on that list. in 25th place. let's raise academic standards across the nation. let's get back to the head of the class. let's solve this. i'm making my money do more. ♪ i'm consolidating my assets. i'm not paying hidden fees or high commissions. i'm making the most of my money. and seven-dollar trades are just the start. i'm with scottrade. i'm with scottrade. i'm with scottrade. and i'm loving every minute of it.

>> reporter: the firefighters are doing the best can, but they are up against several things. the report breaking snowfall we had two seasons ago which built up the vegetation, then this past winter we had barely any snow, 80% less than what we normally get and hot spring. plenty of fuel, dried out fuel and no water. and this is what we've seen. this is shaping out to be to rival 2002 as far as fire season and waldo canyon fire, 346 homes. this is the most destructive fire in colorado history and the residents are taking it on the chin. it's within the city limits of colorado springs. people are spread out in friends and family homes and all of the hotels are booked. we ran into a number of victims and survivors. the chef who runs the kitchen at our hotel actually was displaced from his home and he told us yesterday what it was like just getting out. >> the whole mountainside looking up from my house was on fire and a lot of homes, families in my neighborhood and people that are my neighbors, their houses were engulfed in flames. >> reporter: they are staying in the hotel. they weren't sure if their home was burned. his wife admittedly has been a mess but they found out that their street was saved but the block over completely destroyed. some of the residents will be allowed to go back but many won't because the fire is too close to the lines. let's talk weather next five days, still going to be hot. there will be a threat for thunderstorms. we didn't get any yesterday so we were able to get up to 15% could be taken. and hopefully get more today. it's going to stay hot. the core, the record searing heat has moved east, st. louis, 108, chicago hit 100 the first time since 2005. this is the hottest rain we've seen in a decade and a lot of heat advisories out. we do have one front cruising across the northeast. severe storms in atlantic city but moving rapidly, new york city seeing thunderstorms as well. this isn't going to cool you off. there are 26 states under heat advisories or heat warnings with the humidity it will be dangerously warm, 105 to 115 is what it could feel like. and this is the area, ashleigh, that was over colorado this past weekend that only excel rated the flames of the fires both here and boulder and pinoints t the west. it's shaping out to be a bad year for colorado. and this waldo canyon fire on colorado spring as the most destructive colorado wildfire in history. >> unbelievable, 108 in st. louis, that is could cause the fire risk to shift as it moves eastward. we'll keep an eye on it. >> reporter: yes. >> you can stay with us all moorng long. we're love every half hour from colorado on these horrific fires. if you're looking to help, head to cnn.com/impact. you help these folks. there you'll find all of organizations and ways you can help all of those in need. that is cnn.com/impact. >> it's 16 minutes now past 6:00 on the east coast. let's get you up to date with other top stories making news this morning. attorney general eric holder calls it a political stunt and dismisses the house vote citing him for contempt of congress, it concerns holder's failure to turn over documents tied to the botched fast and furious sting that led to the death of a u.s. border agent. delaware wants to turn your ipad into a slot machine. the state has become the first in the country to legalize online gambling. ka seen nos can offer games on website and hope to make games available on tablets and smart dsz phones next year. he's likely to spend the rest of his life behind bars, but jerry sandusky could end up collecting his full pension from penn state nearly $59,000 a year. the state's pension laws cover 22 separate crimes but felony child molestation is not on the list. he was convicted of 45 counts of sex abuse. >> it is now 17 minutes past 6:00. we're getting an early read, look at the national news. a high profile priest is being accused of sexually assaulting a woman during an exor six and now she's filing a suit against the diocese in virginia. the accuser sought his help in 2008 when she says she thought she was possessed by the devil. instead, she was sexually molested during her sessions. the judge throws the book at the new mexico mom for not returning a library book. she checked out the twilight book and new moon dvd two years ago. she was arrested earlier this month for failing to appear in court to face her fines. she spent the night in jail before posting over $600 bond. the overdue materials only worth $36. when i moved to new york city, i found a couple of booksz my kids forgot to return. >> look under those beds. >> i have to send those back. >> jail?

>> i cannot. >> for an expanded look at our top stories, head to cnn.co cnn.com/early start. christine romans, the smartest woman in the room about to tell you everything you need to know. meineke's personal pricing on brakes. i tell mike what i can spend. i do my best to make that work. we're driving safely. and sue saved money on brakes. now that's personal pricing. here's how it shakes down, stocks closing lower yesterday but it could have been worse. they did claw back from bad losses during the day but the futures are rallying this morning. this ahead of today's open because european leaders have finally come together, amen. they've agreed to a rescue deal to fund the debt problems and the crisis there. >> christine romans joins us to talk more on health care decision yesterday. >> a lot of you are asking me, how this affects you, i can't overstate how sprawling these charges are. you have states now putting together state health insurance exchanges so people who are uninsured will have to starting next year will have to buy health insurance, you can go to this calculator, this kiser family foundation to help you buy insurance. the point is you want people uninsured to afford insurance and get into the system. if you don't buy the insurance, you will be fined. starting in 2014, a family of four, the fine would be $284 and capped at 1% of your income. the next year it goes up to $975, starting to catch your attention, perhaps, by 2016, that fine will be 2,000s or 2.5% of your income. that's what they are using as the stick to get people into health insurance. the carrot is subsidies to help you pay for it. a family that makes $60,000, they would get $10,000 in subsidies, you can find out for yourself. if you already have insurance, you keep your insurance, there is a chance later on in later years big companies could decide, it's cheaper for us to take the fine and push people on the state exchanges and then you might have to go out and become a consumer of health care that way. a lot of big changes coming. more people will be qualified more medicaid, although the supreme court said some states -- that's for low income people, some states will be able to opt out of that if they want. >> it's very complicated and confusing what happens in the future. for now we do know the folks are changing who already have insurance. >> the one thing, expect stocks to rally today, european leaders agreed to a special rescue fund to help struggling banks in spain, italy and other countries, swimming in debt overseas, all of the futures are up big this morning. i expect we're going to see a rally to close out the week. >> good. thank you. >> 26 minutes past of the hour. health care moving from the high court to the voting booth. how republicans and democrats are planning to spin the ruling. mornings are a special time for the two of you... and now you can make them even more special... with new fancy feast mornings. mornings are delicious protein rich entrées... with garden veggies and egg. each one perfectly designed... to start her day with a little love. new fancy feast mornings gourmet cat food. the best ingredient is love. nno matter what you do. when you're living with moderate to severe crohn's disease, there are times it feels like your life... revolves around your symptoms. if you're tired of going around in circles, it may be time to ask your gastroenterologist about humira. because with humira, remission is possible. humira has been proven to work for adults who have tried other medications... but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer, have happened. blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure have occurred. before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. if you're tired of going around in circles, get headed in a new direction. ask your gastroenterologist about humira today. remission is possible. the supreme court rules, the health care law stands. why are republicans saying, thank you? >> monster wildfire, close to 400 homes destroyed by a wildfire on the edge of colorado springs and moving into colorado springs. and the president is on his way there. >> the other woman, an affair that brought down a former presidential candidate. you've heard a lot about her, rielle hunter, she doesn't have many nice things to say about cancer victim, elizabeth edwards. >> it is nice to have you with us. >> it is 30 minutes past the hour. the supreme court resuming upholding president obama's health care law giving the fight new life. republicans are vowing to take this fight all the way to november. >> this is now a time for the american people to make a choice. you can choose whether you want to have a larger and larger government, more and more intrusive in your life, separating you and your doctor, whether you're comfortable with more deficits and higher death we pass under the generations or return to a time when the american people will have their own choice in health care. >> here's more on the election battle shaping up live outside the white house. this is turning into quite a money maker, isn't it? >> reporter: absolutely. as you said, this is heating up to be a big campaign issue. perhaps not surprisingly. we heard it in the statement from the republican national committee after the supreme court's ruling yesterday and from republicans in both houses on down talking about this idea that elections have consequences and if they really want to repeal this health care law, which is their still insisting they want to do and mitt romney is running on, then president obama can't be re-elected. if any of this is an effort to try to rev up support among the people in their party who are against this health care law and want to see it repealed and if the numbers that the mitt romney campaign has reported last night, they are having success with this. as of 9:00 p.m., they brought in $3.2 million after the supreme court's ruling. that's quite a haul. they did this through e-mail, had a twitter -- they were tweeting about this using hash tag full repeal to tout their efforts here. over $3 million is a pretty big haul for one night. those may not be the final numbers. >> what about the obama campaign? how are they doing? >> reporter: we haven't gotten solid figures from the obama side of things in terms of fund raising yesterday. the campaign manager said out an e-mail a couple of hours before the supreme court decision came down. yesterday morning saying that no matter what the supreme court says, you're going to need to donate to this campaign to help support the president, to support his re-election. after that ruling, the president sent out an e-mail asking for supporters to add their name to a data base. while people like the democratic congressional campaign money are raising money off of this, it's unclear what happened with the fund raising figures for the obama camp itself. the president did talk about this issue as a political issue. let's listen to that real quick. >> i didn't do this because it was good politics. i did it because i believed it was good for the country. i did it because i believed it was good for the american people. >> reporter: zoraida, that's the case that the president and his surrogates and first lady and others will be making as they head up to election day, they have to sell this health care law all over again because it's shaping up to be a central issue of this campaign that could be important to whether he's re-elected or not. >> it seems they are focusing on human issues, pre-existing conditions that will be covered and kids up to age 26 on their kids insurance. 34 minutes past 6:00 on the east coast. you figured health care reform deemed constitutional by the supreme court, game over, right? not so fast. republicans say they are not done fighting for this law, fighting against it. republican led house said it is going to vote on repealing the president's health care law this july 11th. while the democratics are touting the ruling and saying it's time to move on, americans don't want to rehash the health care debate there's this. >> the highest court in the land has spoken. we'll continue to implement this law and work together to improve on it where we can. but what we won't do, what the country can't afford to do is refight the political battles of two years ago or go back to the way things were. >> so representative phil ging gri is the spokesperson for the doctors caucus in congress and is a doctor himself. you heard the president just saying they are not willing to rehash this debate again. do americans, do you think americans have the stomach to go forward in congress and fight in battle all over again, knowing full well it's not going anywhere past the house? >> the americans definitely have the stomach to fight battle again. i think what they understand now, since they have not so far been able to repeal obama care, the number one issue now as we two forward over the next four months, repeal obama. because once we do that, then indeed if we have a majority in the senate, we maintain that majority in the house of representatives and we have the 45th president of the united states, mitt romney, then we can indeed repeal this bill and do it by reconciliation since it's a tax issue now as justice roberts has redefined the law, then it will be easier in fact, when we have the majority, we won't need to have 60 votes in the senate. we can do it with 51. >> reconciliation does get people fired up and angry, because people look at that as the ultimate in politicking and going against what the majority of people elected want to feel like they should be doing. i'm going to add to that sir, add to that the statistics that show americans can't stand congress right now. the stats have you at a 79% disapproval rating and only 17% approval rating. there you go talking about all of the loopholes you can enact to try to repeal obama care. do you think americans will have had enough by then? >> let me tell you this. i think americans are very proud of majority leader, eric kantor's position to put the house of representatives on a date certain, july 11th to forcefully say we want this law repealed. we know that's what the american people want. all of the pundits in the world can say it's dead on arrival in the senate. well, miracles can happen. i don't think they will under the leadership of harry reid, bumt the american people understand that we are their voice in this congress. we will continue to be -- >> okay, i'm going to take issue with what you just said though. >> the law may not be unconstitutional but it is un-american. >> i'm going to take issue with what you said when you said americans want it repealed. i have statistics that show that the majority of americans actually oppose obama care. 43% favor, 51% oppose. but if you go into that 51%, it's not because they support what you're saying. it's because they are 13% of them who said we want it to go further, we want a more liberal version of this. when you say the majority of americans oppose obama care, it's a little misleading. >> you know, we can argue those statistics -- >> no you can't. >> that's what you're trying to do. let me tell you what. you look at the results on november the 7th, the obama administration today may be celebrating high fiving -- >> i haven't seen that. let's be fair, sir. >> i guarantee you, we will make lemonade out of these lemons and you'll see that and the american people will prove it on november the 6th. >> here's why i ask you that might be a herculean effort. they don't seem to care that much about health care. it's black and white. the stats say 52% of americans are fed up with the economy and jobs. look third down on the list here after deficit and government spending and only 6% of americans are going to be that riled up about health care. that doesn't speak well to what you're saying is going to happen. >> you make a good point about the statistics on the economy, that is the number one issue. 40 straight months of unemployment above 8%, 13 million americans out of work. so yes, you're right, jobs and economy are the number one issue, but the health care issue so much interrelated with that. employers are not hiring people because if they go above 50, then of course, they -- the employer is penalized and fined if they don't provide not only a health insurance policy but the one dictated by the federal government. >> can you help me understand something? i was thrilled to have you on not only because you're a doctor and you would know more than i would know about the -- of this law and also ahead of the doctors caucus. you have this opinion of obama care and yet the american medical association and american cancer society, american heart association, have an absolutely opposite view, saying it is great. how is it that you smart doctors can't all agree on whether obama care is good for americans or bad for americans? >> there are about 750,000 physicians in the country, the american medical association maybe represents a fourth of those. i'm not denegreating the system, but we don't agree 100% of the time. majority of physicians across the country and 21 members of the house gop doctors caucus that i'm proud to co-chair that group. i think we're spot on in regard to opposition of this law. what it will do to physician workforce, they'll be no doctors left in 10 or 15 years to treat our medicare patients, most frail. >> it would be change we would have those four groups and even further who agree with it and think it's stay great idea if they were going to be out of work. >> here again, i think these organizations sometimes speak from the top down and not from the bottom up, unfortunately. look what aarp did and the deal they cut with the white house?
