jobs excuse me, rather i m reading you the wrong quote. this one is from him. washington republicans are opposed to supporting our policemen, firefighters in order to promote tax loopholes that promote american jobs. there are democrats not happy about coming back. they have concerns. some of them are in tough re-election battles. they are using this time to do town halls and campaign. they have to give up a few days to come back and do that job. jon: we will have more on the return to the house ahead. speaker pelosi s right hand man democratic congressman chris van hollen, who shannon was quoting there joins us with his take on all of this. jenna. jenna: we are a waiting a major news conference by the justice department on terror arrests we heard about just last hour. apparently there is a group of americans that have been arrested in two major cities across this nation, minneapolis
developing story if there ever was one and we look forward to hearing more. thank you very much. thank you very much. jon: right now, president obama is in his home town of chicago, speaking at a ford assembly plant there. it s the third of his visits to the big three automakers. the president touting the benefits of the auto bailout ford, the company that did not take taxpayer money, so unless you happen to be a ford shareholder, you cannot claim that you own part of the company, as you do with chrysler and general motors, taxpayers own big chunks of those companies. still, the president touting the benefits of the economic rescue plan. if you d like to hear what he s saying, we have it streaming for you live on foxnews.com. want to take you to pakistan, though, where rushing water is ripping apart lives. the rush is on now to get relief to people who will need it most after severe flooding. we ll take you live to the flood zone. one man s trash is another man s treasure.
