a number of other studies on this actually show this is not a problem. when fraud happens, it happens when people register to vote, when they show id, and that s why this republican firm has now been fired by the gop because they re the ones who have had all this problem falsely registering people. you re wrong about that. i m not wrong, lars. please let me finish. i m sorry the fact alisyn: finish, alan, and, obviously, there are examples of voter fraud, and we ve all seen it. i m not saying it s never happened, but the statistics show it happens during registration, and this is an attempt on the part of republicans in red states to narrow the number of people who will vote because alisyn: go ahead, lars. more bologna. the voter act says when you go down to the dmv or the post office not everybody drives. i m going to tell you something, alan, in the state i m sitting in the right now, oregon, there were thousands of votes counted in the last
seeing right now is a weak america as many have described it for the last two and a half years, america continually on an apology tour, not standing up for our values, most importantly they want an america that recognizes the threat that is out there, please connect the dots, otherwise israel will be in trouble, and america will face serious challenge and we ll do another future inquiry as to why didn t we connect the dots, and it will be how could we be so stupid. iran, muslim brother hood, ungoverned areas of course everyone should have picked out this this was a very, very dangerous scenario, but our leadership both politically and the intelligence community once again failed to connect the dots. alisyn: back to benghazi for a second. it does seem that we missed we neglected connecting the dots before our ambassador was killed. now that the administration seems to have got even on th got gotten on the same page and
if you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. period. if you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. period. no one will take it away, no matter what. alisyn: well, new questions today about that now-famous promise from the president. two major american employers have announced what some call a, quote, radical change in how they provide health benefits to their workers. sears holdings corp. and dorden restaurants which owns chains like red lobster and olive garden are now dropping company-sponsored health care coverage, and instead they re giving employers a fixed sum of money allowing them to choose their own medical coverage. so let s debate this. steve moore, senior economics writer for the wall street journal , dr [inaudible] ceo of vital springs technologies and author of get off the dime: the secret of
in iraq and afghanistan and elsewhere, but in our country, fort hood three years ago. and because we don t name that enemy, we re not equipped the way we need to ideologically and in many ways to take on that threat. so we kick the can down the road, and we classify it as overseas contingency operations or domestic workplace violence as as opposed to radical islamic terrorism which allows all our agencies to do another set of things to actually address the threat. so they re kicking the can down the road by sanitizing the actually threat and not taking it on. alisyn: autumn manning is also upset that president obama never called sergeant manning after this to express, um, any of his concerns. he did, president obama, did go to fort hood, he did meet with some of the victims families, but he didn t call sergeant manning personally. is that the responsibility of the president? well, i think that s a nice gesture, what should be done. and, again, i don t want to pivot from what happene
named the enemy, and we need to. alisyn: you know, once again we see a bit of a mixed message from the administration. senator joe lieberman was holding hearings about this a couple of years ago, and he pressed secretary janet napolitano and said this is extremist terrorism, and she said, i agree. she said at that time, i agree. so clearly, not everyone is speaking with the same voice, and what would it cost the administration to give them combat status or purple heart? it seems like a low price for a symbol that is really important to these victims. well, at a large level it would undercut the entire narrative they ve created, that they re above this whole, this whole war with radical islam, the fact that there are people out there that want to kill us. they think if they give a speech in cairo, they think if they apologize for a video that everyone will just like them. well, the reality is there are people out there who hate us, who seek to do us harm not just
