obamacare, president obama's controversial health care law. lawmakers from both sides trying to make their cases. >> health care is a right! and it is not a privilege. not just for some people but for all people, we cannot and we will not go back! >> i think it's important for the electorate to know where their member of congress stands and some people have tried to be too cute on this issue and have kind of waffled back in their district and this is an opportunity to draw a bright line on whether or not you support the law as it's currently written as the supreme court has ruled it constitutional or do you favor repealing it and doing something more in line with getting individuals more in control over their dollars? >> democrats have criticized the vote as political theater. president obama planning to veto any attempt to repeal obamacare turbulence rocking an american airlines flight from aruba to miami and passengers literally thought they were going to die. >> everybody is screaming. everybody is screaming. you see the people jumping down, up and down and, you know, it was -- >> basically, with the noise and the bumps, just think that it's going down. >> thought we were going to die. it was scary. it was. >> wow. the plane just 30 minutes from landing when the turbulence hit. 30 people including two crew members are being treated for minor injuries. extreme weather. breath taking video showing the destruction from powerful storm that planned virginia. you can see it picking up a not tent outside. security camera footage from a hotel in virginia. they were celebrating their 18th birthday when the storm swept through. those are your headlines. i don't know if i'd survive one of the turbulent flights. i'm a white knuckler to begin with. no matter how many times i fly, i know cars are more dangerous. that little turbulence, exactly. i look at my kids that don't notice anything. i wish i could be more like that. >> your kids have to calm me down. >> when you think about it, though, you are in a gigantic metal object many miles in the sky, what's to be afraid of? >> thanks a lot! >> people rather would be in their cars -- >> thanks a lot! wow, that really soothed my emotions on that whole thing, doocy! >> i'm trying to explain why it's absolutely normal. i'm up here, i could be down there. >> listen to audio tape of that next time. >> up to two people in the cockpit for everybody in the plane. >> candidates are on attack over outsourcing now. what does that actually mean? which one is worse, i guess? at putting jobs outside of america. well, it depends on who you believe, i guess. >> this all started a couple of weeks ago, "the washington post" ran this thing about how mitt romney when he headed up bain capital, his firm had some jobs at the "washington post" and said outsource jobs to different companies -- different countries and then the obama administration jumped on that and they ran a bunch of ads which "the washington post" said those things are so inaccurate, we're going to give them four pinocchios. so anyway, since then, it's interesting, the president even though they have been tagged with that, that their ads were wrong, the president continues to hammer away mitt romney as a big outsourcer. yesterday, mitt romney fought back. here's both sides talking about outsourcing. >> we tried what they're selling. and it didn't work. and somehow, they think you don't remember. but you remember and we don't need more top down economics. what we need is somebody who is going to fight every single day to grow the middle class because that's how our economy grows from the middle ou >> it is interesting that when it comes to outsourcing, that this president has been outsourcing a good deal of -- of american jobs themselves by putting money into energy companies, solar and wind energy companies that end up making their products outside the united states. if there's an outsourcer-in-chief, it's the president of the united states. not the guy who is running to replace him. >> game on! >> you're seeing mitt romney now coming with this attack line back because you're starting to see -- we've seen some ads really working for president obama in ohio and other places where these -- they've been hitting him on his bain capital experience and outsourcing these jobs and it seems like it may be starting to take hold in some of those states. you see those poll numbers so mitt romney now coming back on this attack line about outsourcing because what is more relevant? solyndra is fresh in our minds. something more relevant as it's happening or still happening right now or something that happened a couple of years ago. >> couple of points, solyndra is fresh in the minds of people who actually read the newspapers and watch fox news if it's in the newspaper. do people really care about this outsourcing at all? are people -- when you ask them -- >> if you're out of work you do. >> but is it just minutia or is it just part -- a little tiny part of the whole big picture of unemployment? i wonder how many people are paying attention to that one little particular thing. >> part of it is they talk about outsourcing because they know that mitt romney created a lot of jobs in his past life. and to by talking about outsourcing, it kind of distracts you from the fact that we've got such lousy job numbers right now in this country, president can't talk about jobs because there are so few out there and he can't talk about health care because so many americans don't like it so what's he up to? here's dr. charles krauthammer with an idea. >> i think what's so impressive about this is how small a game obama is playing. here's a guy who comes in in 2008, hope and change. change the way that washington works. he passes a trillion dollar stimulus. largest spending in american history. he does a health care bill that's 1/6th american economy. he attempts cap and trade that would control the energy industry. he does dodd frank that regulates finances, a guy that wants to change america, says so and what's he proposing here as the center idea of his economic plan for the next term in --? a partial exemption of tax codes for one year just so the american people. >> one year. >> we saw some of it, too, to see if people were not flying in their jets. >> don't scare us with the flying of the jets thing again. >> don't mean a turbulence. what a fraction of a fraction of percentages that it was and that's what krauthammer is talking about here about the small ideas heading into an election year. it is small ball right now and you can have a bigger platform coming forward and put and say this is how we're going to get america back to work. >> it's all messaging. those little small ideas if they're simplistic and have buzz words involved in them, they can stick. they can stick in the voters' minds and it all comes down to once again who has the better messengers out there whether it's obama's people or romney's people. in the meantime, did you see in the sunday talk shows because debbie wasserman schultz was on "fox news sunday" directly followed by reince priebus. democratic national chair and republican national chair. >> fair and balanced. >> she made it sure at the end or middle of the interview, i forget which one to get in a particular talking point that she was told and forgot to say on the sunday talk shows which is the case. it had to do with mitt romney and where he puts his money. listen to this. >> americans ask themselves, why does an american businessman need a swiss bank account and secretive investments like that? it's a thought i would like to leave folks with. >> did she mention swiss bank account? >> yeah. >> as it turns out, some financial disclosure forms have been revealed by "the weekly standard" and what they show is that debbie wasserman schultz in at least 2010, she previously held 401k funds with investments in swiss banks, foreign drug companies and a state bank of india. >> she's trying to paint mitt romney, the d.n.c. is trying to paint mitt romney as an out of touch rich guy. with your investments overseas, not having him here in the united states, they're overseas. and so then it comes back that, yes, in fact she had -- >> you have to be really careful when you make these claims. if you're involved in a 401k through work, a lot of those funds are international funds or blind trust. you have no idea really what -- where your money is being invested so you got to be careful if you're going to make the accusation that it can't come back to hit you in the butt as well. meantime, eric holder, the attorney general of this nation was in texas yesterday. keep in mind the department of justice is trying to make sure that texas does not -- they're not allowed to continue with this voter i.d. law where people actually have to show i.d. to go vote. well, here's another hypocritical situation because to get into this event, you had to show i.d. so which one is it? let's present government issued photo i.d.'s such as a valid driver's license. >> to get into this naacp event and he went on. it was inflammatory language. he was comparing the texas voter i.d. law down there to those southern taxs that would charge southern blacks going to the polls and keep them from actually voting so likening this current voter i.d. law situation down there to southern poll taxes. >> so you don't need a photo i.d. to vote, he feels, but you do need to see eric holder at the naacp. >> well, coming up on the show -- first, we'll go to this because we teased this at the beginning of the show, the unsolved murder of a juilliard student eight years ago taking an incredible turn as investigators matched d.n.a. from the crime scene to a sample collected by an occupy wall street protest. antwon lewis live in manhattan with more. what can you tell us? >> this happened eight years ago, gretchen, good morning. it was right here at inwood hill park where sarah fox disappeared. six days later, her body was discovered nude and strangled. among the evidence that detectives found at the scene was d.n.a. on a pink c.d. player. now, eight years later, they're saying that that d.n.a. has been linked to an incident that happened in brooklyn at a subway station just in march of this year. we're talking about one of the occupy wall street incidents. you remember the occupy the m.t.a. event they called it where they opened up the doors, the emergency doors to one of the subway stations there that you've changed and to try the turnstiles back. also, it was also during that event that police say they collected some d.n.a. evidence from one of the chains that they have now made a direct link to this unsolved case from, again, eight years ago so detectives are reviewing that surveillance footage very closely and certainly looking for anyone who may have been involved with occupy wall street or involved in that particular incident. we'll, of course, keep you updated. we know you're following this as well. we'll send it back to you right now. >> thanks very much. >> straight ahead on this wednesday, one city cutting everybody's pay to minimum wage because the town is out of money. is this just a sign of the time? a firefighter who saw his paycheck slashed overnight joins us next. >> then take a look at this police raid. are they going after a killer or drug dealer? nope, a pastor for not having a bible study permit. unbelievable story. wer surge, let it blow your mind.

[ male announcer ] ask your veterinarian about k9 advantix ii. >> welcome back. we've been telling you about how cash strapped cities across the country are taking extreme measures to make ends meet. >> here's what's happening in scranton, pennsylvania, the mayor scrapped everyone's salary down to minimum wage and workers aren't taking the news well. joining us now is president of the firefighter union, ron judge. good morning to you, mr. judge. >> good morning. >> so the city is in a cash-strapped situation. they owe $3.4 million in vendor bills. so this mayor finally just decided well, one way we'll try to make up the difference is to cut everyone's pay. unfortunately, that means you're down to minimum wage. what has the effect been? >> effect has been guys don't know how they're going to pay their bills. struggling to meet financial obligations like mortgages, kids' tuition payments for college. a lot of guys trying to figure out how they're going to make the next car payment, insurance payment so they're worried, they're real worried and the biggest problem is he gave no indication as to how long this is going to last. so guys are worried. >> absolutely. and it's understandable. i understand the mayor has this great idea, he'll just raise taxes 78% over the next three years. that, you know, the city council is not going to let him do that. how do scranton, the home of joe biden we should point out originally, how did scranton get in such dire financial straits, sir? >> it's been a lot of mismanagement. we've been fighting this mayor now for 10 years. the public safety unions, we're in a protracted court battle for 10 years with no raises. we finally went to pennsylvania supreme court last year and we got an award. we won after 10 years of litigation so he's tied us up. this is nothing new with this mayor. he's been a real pain for us and it's basically boils down to mismanagement and now he's using us as kind of a pawn to push council to push his agenda. and they're providing the checks and balance like they should be and they're not letting them get away with it. a 78% tax increase for the city would be crippling and now it's just a political game with 400 people caught in the middle. >> it seems so many cities, though, the third california city just filed for bankruptcy. it seems like scranton may be going down that path. i want to read a statement from the mayor of scranton. it's unfortunate the employees have to bear the brunt of this because the city council can't budge. i can't spend money i don't have. it's interesting because the mayor is democrat and the majority of the city council is democrat but yet, they don't want to go along with these huge tax increases. correct? >> yeah, no. they're looking out for the citizens of scranton, the city council. this council for the last year and a half has finally checked this guy's borrowing and spending programs for about eight, nine years, he just had free reign, he had a rubber stamp council that would blindly pass his agenda and that's really why we're at where we're at today. so , you know, it's just -- it's real hard on our guys right now and -- but they're still coming to work every day for $7.25 an hour. they're not letting it affect them. they're running into burning buildings and pulling people out of car accidents and they're doing their job and they love their city and hopefully we get through this soon. really what we need to see is see this mayor step out of the way. >> we'll see what happens. that's all messed up. firefighter john judge, thank you for joining us today from scranton. >> all right. >> thank you. >> the supreme court said it's ok to lie about your military service. well, one candidate running for congress took that one to heart. what he did could make you sick to your stomach. >> she took a dramatic leap of faith to escape a lightning storm. would you have done the same thing? that teenager joins us. we take it on ours. this summer put your family in an exceptionally engineered mercedes-benz now for an exceptional price during the summer event. but hurry, this offer ends july 31st. and so too is the summer event. now get an incredible offer on the powerful c250 sport sedan. but hurry before this opportunity...disappears. the mercedes-benz summer event ends july 31st. >> 24 minutes after the top of the hour. if you're just getting up, a couple of quick headlines for you. a foul odor forced a flight to make an emergency landing in philly last night. five crew members got so sick, they were rushed to the hospital. all 176 passengers apparently ok. the plane had just taken off from charlotte and was heading to rome. and a woman in washington state nearly surviving this crash. a bundle of 27 foot long poles went flying straight through her windshield trapping her inside. we're told the woman rear ended a trailer loaded with the pole. the woman is in critical condition. >> that's a big fear of mine. thanks very much. here's another fear of mine, being trapped on a sky lift when a lightning storm about to break out. a new jersey teen jumps off an amusement park ride. watch this, suspended 30 feet in mid air and nothing but the ground below to break her fall. young woman survived that fall with some minor injuries. she's our guest this morning. nice to see you this morning. >> nice to see you, too. >> no major injuries? >> no major injuries. yeah. >> i'm sure your mom was happy about that. >> oh, yeah. i'm a bit sore. >> you were down at the beach and all of a sudden, you saw a storm approaching? >> yeah. >> you thought, i have enough time. i can take this sky ride. take me through this. >> we didn't see it when we were first getting ready to go on a sky ride. it was absolutely beautiful out. as we got up there, five minutes into the ride, we're like oh, no, there's lightning in the distance. fine, we'll get off the ride by the time it reaches us. little did we know how fast the storm was traveling and the ride eventually stopped as we were about to get off and we were just freaking out. >> so you thought you could get off the ride, it was going to be fine. you see these dark storm clouds as you can see in the video coming up and approaching you. what did you do? you called your mom? >> i called my mom and i was like mom, we're stuck on the ride. we're stuck on the ride. she couldn't hear me. she turned to me, me and my friend, i said we're jumping. jump with me. i turned around and jumped. >> she didn't. you go first and you fell -- you fell 35 feet. >> yeah, about. >> 35 feet. >> she stayed up there and the ride continued on or stopped until the storm pass ed? >> the ride stopped and then 15 minute after i jumped, the ride started up again and they got the ambulance there but everyone was saying oh, there should have been a backup generator. i was just glad i was ok to be honest. >> was there any lightning strikes nearby that caused you to make that final leap? >> yeah, a lot of people are saying oh, i should have realized that the storm was in the distance but you can't tell in the video, the storm is literally right above us. there were lightning strikes around us and i saw a tornado in the distance, although it vanished quickly, it's scary to see that. the wind was moving so fast. >> all these people on the boardwalk seem to be strolling along enjoying their funnel cake. did anybody jump down and help you? >> one man jumped off. he was with his family and actually an off-duty e.m.t., he jumped off and grabbed me and took me under the boardwalk for
