bill. bill: alisyn. alisyn: ambassador rice is expected to meet with the president privately today. the president has been vocal for her and blasting republican critics for what he calls unfair and misleading attacks on rice. bill: more americans want to see senator john kerry nominated as the next secretary of state more than ambassador rice even before she took her name out of public contention. the latest fox polling showing 23% supporting senator kerry, 19% went for ambassador rice. 37% said they want to see someone else in that job. 18% saying not so sure. alisyn: interesting to see what everyone says during these two hours. there are now conflicting reports whether secretary of state hillary clinton will actually testify to a house committee on the libyan attacks. we reported to you that clinton was expected to face the house foreign affairs committee next week. now the state department is saying not so fast. in just a couple minutes we'll speak to congressman ed royce from the foreig

these bills are not a plan. they're a ploy. they are bills to nowhere. they undermine trust so essential for agreement. we've just heard it. the republicans claim that letting the tax rate go up from 35% to 39.6% on income over $1 million is not a tax hike because it would happen on its own. but then they say that if the tax cut would go up on income below $1 million by happening on its own, it would be the biggest tax increase in history. that is patently that is inconsistent. the far worse than hypocrisy is the way they deseen their tax provision. for those with incomes over one million, they provide a tax cut of at least $50,000. they raise only 1/3 of the revenue contained in the speaker's discussions with the white house and far less than proposed by the president. talk about undermining trust. it would raise taxes on 11 million middle class taxpayers. 11 million. through their failure to continue the education credit. and it hurts millions of other middle class families with their failure to keep the improvements to the child tax credit and the ear
