obama care! >> obama care! >> all all of obama care. >> i'm the one that's going to get rid of obama care. we're going to stop it on day one! >> remember 2012, the presidential election about how obama care just never came up? it's like it wasn't even an issue in the campaign. so nobody ever expected that that election would have settled anything about obama care. >> you had said next year that you would repeal the health care vote. that still your mission? >> well, i think the election changes that. it's pretty clear that the president was re-elected, obama care is the law of the land. >> well, now the latest republican argument for shutting down the government in order to stop obama care is that it was never addressed as an issue in the presidential campaign. this is the point where the way your friend told you that you should calm down, use deep breaths, this is the time for deep breaths. president obama today went to maryland and gave a speech about health reform, and he has given a million speeches about h

there are problems with obama care. we have had some polls saying there is great dissatisfaction at the town halls, but you haven't debated on how to change the law, what you have gone out and said let's kill the law, let's de-fund it. >> actually, with respect , david, i think it is wrong, i voted to repeal the law, but that was not my position in this fight. my position is de-fund it, which is different than repeal. and even now what the house of representatives has done is a step removed from de-funding. it is delaying it. now that is the essence of a compromise, delaying, simply on the same terms that has been done for the big corporations, that is a compromise. and at the same time, david, on the other side, what have the democrats compromised on? zero, their position is absolutely no, no matter what. >> you make this argument as if there is no broader context here. obama care has been -- has been adjudicated and it has been tested to the political system. and so let's go through that. we had an election where i he

>> replace obama care! >> get rid of obama care! repeal obama care! get rid of obama care. obama care! >> day one, president romney moves to repeal obama care. >> obama care! obama care! >> obama care! >> all all of obama care. >> i'm the one that's going to get rid of obama care. we're going to stop it on day one! >> remember 2012, the presidential election, about how obama care just never came up? it's like it wasn't even an issue in the campaign. so nobody ever expected that that election would have settled anything about obama care. >> you had said, next year, that you would repeal the health care vote. that still your mission? >> well, i think the election changes that. it's pretty clear that the president was re-elected, obama care is the law of the land. >> well, now the latest republican argument for shutting down the government in order to stop obama care is that it was never addressed as an issue in the presidential campaign. this is the point where the way your friend told you that you should calm down, use deep breaths, this is the time for deep breaths. preside

i don't want obama care. please don't make me have obama care. but if i'm going to get it, just as roberts should get it too and so should president obama. so if they make me take it, i want justice robert there's with me. i want him to come over and sign up at the same exchange, and i want president obama to come on down from the white house, and he gives up any kind of employer subsidy he has, and he signs up for obama care too. if we do it for all federal employees, i'll vote for it. >> all right. you'll buy into that. the other thing that is being rumored, as you mentioned before, the individual mandate, there is talk that the house will send the cr back to the senate and include the individual mandate. so i assumed you would rally for that? >> well, here is my prediction, larry. something is going to happen in the next couple of hours that nobody has any idea was going to happen. i think there may be some other way that the democrats are going to get this thing derailed in the senate. it's different than any of the votes we've been talk abou

it also defunds obama care. that means it's a bill to shut down the federal government. >> and so, our message to the united states senate is real simple. the american people don't want the government shutdown and they don't want obama care. the house has listened to the american people. now, it's time for the senate to listen as well. >> senate democrats to do the same thing. and i want to know where senator prior stands on protecting the middle class. the consequences of this horrific bill. how about kay hagen in north carolina? does she understand the consequences that obama care is having in her state? what about mary lan dree of louisiana? >> republican congress want to stop the country to deny the people the chance to see a doctor. how many times are we going to do this? >> it is a wolf in wolf's clothing. the underlying bill to shut down government is reason enough to object to it. and you know what that's about? that's simply about putting their friends, the insurance companies, back in charge of medical

146%. >> jon: i'm not saying obama care is perfect. it's not. it was designed by congress. nothing designed by congress is perfect. you ask them to design a puppy, you'd get something with no face, two [bleep] and a semiautomatic. that's fine. [laughter] take that down. that is really disturbing. do you have a more foundational critique? >> obama care is the biggest job killer in the country. small businesses have been hammered under obama care unlike ever before. it's shattering the country. >> jon: as of now, i'm unaware of the specific growth of impact on jobs that it's had given the sign up doesn't start until next week. clearly economic growth is an issue. just the possibility that obama care may be hurting the economy is enough to get you on your feet for 21 hours. i congratulate you on that, sir. but i can't think of another thing that came out of washington recently that is hurting economic growth right now. according to the congressional budget office, the spending cuts from the sequester are costing millions 3 million jobs a

they don't want obama care to go forward. and the question is, it's not going to pass the current legislation in the senate. will those republicans in the house of representatives be willing to see the government shut down in order to try to defund obama care. it's a matter of principle to a lot of those conservative republicans, tea party supporters and others, because they hate it so much, they think it's a disaster for the country and they want to make this powerful statement. the problem they have, and even a republican political analyst like karl rove, the so-called architect of the bush years, he wrote a piece in the "wall street journal" saying this is disaster for the republicans if they go ahead and they link obama care to a government shutdown. it would just be politically a nightmare for them in the midterm elections next time. just as it caused the republicans so many problems, the two government shutdowns in '95 and '96 during the clinton administration, it helped propel bill clinton to get re-elected in '96 desp

republicans are divided on this obama care strategy. some senators, including senator buhr and senator mccain, don't agree with senator cruz and senator paul that they're going to get what they want. democrats, on the other hand, they're at odds with each other on sequester. they don't want to pass any funding bill that continues sequester. fasten your seat belts. it's going to get pretty ugly over the next week. they're nowhere close to a deal. >> you mentioned senator ted cruz. he's doing an exclusive interview on fox news sunday. he's been vocal and adamant about defunding obama care by any means necessary. what do you make of the senator's all-or-nothing approach? >> house republicans have been upset with him. they did not want to go with this strategy. they came up with an alternative strategy, but conservatives in the house said no, we're not going to go along with it. and democrats weren't going to vote for that bill, so they had to shell that and embrace the ted cruz strategy. now, they have passed a bill through the house. they

obama care online. signup starts tuesday. a conversation with two doctors who know a thing or two about politics. senator john verasso and howard dean. and -- >> just now i spoke on the phone with the president of iran. >> it's been more than 30 years between calls. our power house political panel weighs in on whether a short chat between the u.s. and iran can lead to a new dynamic in the middle east. this is "state of the union." unless a deal is reached by tomorrow night, the government will shut down. early this morning the house passed legislation that would delay obama care for a year and repeal the medical device tax. they will reject the bill and to undercore the resistance, the white house issued a veto threat. dana bash is with us now. dana? where does this leave us? >> it leaves us at absolute genuine stalemate. there are no negotiations, no bipartisan discussions going on of any kind or even plan to try to get them back from the brink. now senate democrats are so determined to make their point that they believe hou

be a obama care rider or amendment if you will? >> i think there will be additions that i have found in the senate that senate democrats say they can support. you just heard a senator from west virginia that is a democrat saying why does the president treat business one way but individuals another way. i think there are so that question bass -- >> but if delay is in the deal, what else is on the table? >> there are a lot of items on the table. you spent more time negotiating with me than the president has spent on this. how many times have you found the teamsters, the biggest unions in america, partnering with business. what do they say about obama care? they say it is breaking the backbone of america. we're no longer having full time jobs. >> how about the possibility of a short-term claim cr, keep funding the government two or three days to avoid the shut down and keep this going. >> we will not shut the government down. we have to negotiate longer, and we will continue to negotiate. >> so a very short term cr is possible. >> the

in obama care. people are simply reading the bill now. the more they find out about it, theypeople, individuals, moms, dads, teenagers, children, seeing the effects in their hope budget and in their health care when it companies y comes to ob care. they're feeling it every day in their lives at home. it's not about someone spending money and giving it to them and telling them it's bad. >> protesting and understanding it. maybe like nancy pelosi. have to read it to find out exactly what's in it. >> everybody's playing catch-up. which illustrates the scary nature of this debate. we listened to the media for years about this bill and how great it was. now you listen to the people that are dealing with it, which are the real doctors, who are exasperated. to they, obama care is a fatal disease. it's like smoking. it saves money by cutting a decade off your life. nobody in the medical industry, like, sees this as a good thing. you can look at the numbers of doctors leaving now because they can't see thems

>> on obama care, there will be more people that the taxpayers are taking care of after obama care than before. >> here's the question. is it fair that -- >> taxpayers picking under the tab for -- >> is it fair that people. >> americans will pay more. >> is it fair that people who can afford to buy health insurance could become freeloaders and taxpayers will take care of them if they get into an emergency medical situation? is that fair. >> the fairness that is lacking in obama care is clear because president obama has changed obama care over 19 times now. he has an uneven playing field. so if you are a political favorite of the president's, you've just got an exemption. big business got a huge ex-emmion. >> are you happy there are people out there who have money who decide they don't want to buy health insurance but an that we'll take care of them no matter what? >> what you're talking about is a very small percentage of the american people. the world is every single. >> have you been to the emergency room? >> my oldest son is a physician. >> you know who shows up. these are people who

they lost the obama care fight. they lost at the ballot box, in congress, in the supreme court and at the ballot box again. if they can't move on and come up with a positive agenda, they're not going to get very far. >> quickly to viviana. >> this ad is all kinds of wrong. i think what's really sad about this for the gop is that there really are some great ideas in the gop about how to make the health care, the affordable health care act better. for example, allow competition between states. consumers to buy, for example, from california in rhode island, to make it cheaper, to make it better for consumers. you're not hearing those smart ideas. you're just getting stuck in this kinds of a distraction of an ad that is incredibly offensive not just to women but really it should be to all americans. >> james, any upside to this? >> there's no upside to these kinds of ads. we just need to remind republicans, remind the american people that essentially the affordable care act already has what viviana was talking about alr

care. >> let me start by saying i am psyched for obama care. >> there you go. i love that enthusiasm. >> because now that i've got free health care, i can get sick all the time. whoo! free medicine, y'all. >> well, that's not really how it works. >> i've stopped washing my hands and i'm licking hella subway poles. thanks, president. >> and former white house press secretary ari fleischer launched a twitter attack with president obama kind of after the president sent out this tweet about obama care. he tweeted back how come barack obama's tweet was more than 140 characters. does he play by different rules? he miscounted. it was only 136. he later apologized. if you read only one thing this morning, read this. scandal has hit 10 downing street after an explosive new book claims the resident cat is unloved. apparently larry the cat was acquired in february, 2011, after a rat was spotted scurrying around outside the door of 10 downing, but his efficacy has been called into question and it took him a few months to make the first confirmed kill. this story is hilario

is the -- obama care is the law. we will not bow to tea party anarchists who refuse to accept the supreme court ruled obama care to be constitutional. >> we are for cutting spending. rewe are for reforming entitle thes. not we what we are not for is negotiating with people with bomb strapped to their chest. >> talking points believes there should be a compromise. senator joe manchin democrat from west virginia says he would support a one-year delay for folks who do not want to be forced into the obama care arena. but the truth is, the senate and the president will never never going to do it. physical a compromise is not reached. >> break down essential services across the board a place completely out of control. there are some americans who don't care. but most of us do care. we don't want scorched earths and we don't want a government shutdown that would directly hurt many of our fellow citizens. so, it is that president obama and the republican leadership in congress must sit down and hammer out a deal. both sides

it to obama care. so what should happen? i sit on the appropriations committee. we used to do this all the time, sit down today, hammer out negotiations over what we are going to fund in the budget. what level are we funding education and health care and our troops? >> the normal budget process which hasn't happened in six years. >> you're right. that prs needs to be fixed. last night you have republican tea party extremists actually celebrating on the house floor, publicly celebrating that -- michele bachmann said she got everything she wanted. other republicans who said they're delighted over shutting the government down. what they need to do is come together. let me give you an analogy here. there's clear evidence that the tail is wagging the dog and you have republicans on the other side who are irrational and not playing with a full deck. would you, if you didn't like the redesign of your kitchen, would you burn the whole house down or would you try to make modifications to the kitchen? these peop

hearing obama care attacked is scaring some of the people who love obama care. like the family whose daughter has had three heart surgeries. they'll join us. terrifying video from inside the navy yard massacre last week. a survivor who refused to leave his co-worker behind that will join me. man: sometimes it's like we're still in college. but with a mortgage. and the furniture's a lot nicer. and suddenly, the most important person in my life is someone i haven't even met yet. who matters most to you says the most about you. at massmutual we're owned by our policyowners, and they matter most to us. as you plan your next step, we'll help you get there. you work. and you want to get an mba. but going back to school is hard... because you work. now, capella university offers a revolutionary new way to get your degree. it's called flexpath and it's the most direct path, leveraging what you've learned on the job and focusing on what you need to know so you can get a degree at your pace. and graduate at the speed of you. flexpath from capella university learn more at

except for obama care and that prohibits the funding of obama care. don't use any tricks to let harry reid turn around and fund obama care. >> senator, heaven forbid, i'm not correcting you. i want to challenge you on this. you're looking at a former associate director of the office of management and budget. >> sure. >> under ronald reagan. if i put my green shade back on, i'm sure you have heard this view before. i'm going to stay it again though. you can't use a continuing resolution which is only about discretionary spending because obama care has entitlements. so you can't use that. c.r. doesn't work for entitlements. look, i want to get rid of obama care too. i want to get rid of the entitlements inside obama care. i want to reform all the entitlements, period. but you can't do it through a continuing resolution, it doesn't work, sir. >> with respect, larry, i understand that argument. that argument came from a senate republican who asked the congressional research service the following question. if there's a government shutdown, would obama care

every senate republican voted to defund obama care and all on the same side with obama care. it has not divided us from the beginning. and we would be in favor of any other version of that, too. defund can't get democrats to vote for it. medical device tax is in there and interesting to note that 79 senators voteed to repeal the medical device tax. it would be tough for all of those democrats who earlier in the year voted to repeal the medical tax divided not to. >> and you know, this week, republicans that maybe had a different point of view about the strategy, but the strategy to defeat it, folks like you are called rhino and squish. and member of the surrender caucus and other things i can't repeat on television. so tell me, what is it that really happen and try to walk us through the procedure of the cloture vote which is a 60 vote threshold versus a simple majority that you favored and only required 51 votes to defound obama care. >> the problem with the strategy that was advocated. it been followed senate republicans would have shut down the government. polls she that 8

for obama care. if you're one of the 48 million uninsured americans, you've got some decisions to make, starting october 1st. the cost of coverage under the new health care exchanges vary depending where you lib, the level of coverage and other factors. on this map the average costs are higher in dark blue states. say you live in ohio for a family of four making $50,000 a year you pay $282 a month for the midrange plan after tax credits. a single person making $25,000 a year would pay $110 for the lowest cost plan, once again, after tax credits. president obama's touting the benefits of his health care reform law while taking on republicans who are threatening to defund it. at a speech in maryland at president said the affordable care act is here to stay. >> five days from now, five days from now, on october 1st, millions of americans who don't have health insurance because they've been priced out of the market or because they've denied access because of a preexisting condition, they will finally be

leave it about killing obama care? >> i believe that's the right policy. we have two opportunities to do it. i think frankly that the president, when the american people make it clear over the next several weeks, he will step forward and at least delay this law. listen, this president is known for drawing lines he doesn't keep. i think there's a potential he won't keep this one. >> do you ever gamble privately? >> i really don't -- i really don't like gambling. >> at the frack or anything. i'm available if you want to call me afterwards. i'm ready. the president won't give up on anything. what do you think of the odds if you want to give bookie advice to somebody here. what are the odds that the president of the united states will give up on the one sure thing that will get him in the history books, affordable health to people waiting in the emergency room right now. >> there's not a person in the country except for bheem are drinking this tea party tea who believes the president is going to walk away from obama care.

at the heart of fight, obama care. we've assembled our congressional summit with four key lawmakers from the senate and the house. my key question, what is the end game? plus, another mass shooting. this time at the navy yard here in washington. what can be done to prevent these tragedies in the future? in a meet the press exclusive, nra executive vice president wayne la pierre joins hee and i'll speak with the mother of an aurora, colorado, shooting victim. >> plus our roundtable on the budge ept battles, the split within the gop an president's policy with iran. weekly standard bill kris tol, tavis smiley, robert gibbs, call spreet journal's kim stras he will. i'm david gregory. all that ahead for meet the press, sunday, september 22nd. >>> good morning. we'll get to the government shutdown in a moment. the breaking news we're tracking in nairobi, kenya. one of the deadliest acts of terror in east africa since the u.s. embassies were attacked in 199. ron allen is on the phone where the hostages are still being held. h

obama care is at heart of the shut down standoff. our next guest is a democrat who supports obama care, but says there's room to improve the plan. go down to democratic senator richard blumenthal. he joins me from connecticut. thank you for joining us. what would you do to change and improve obama care? >> one of the aspects of obama care that i think needs attention is its affects on businesses. increasing expenses at a time when they are recovering from the greatest recession in greatest history. there may be other areas that need improvement but the ways to address those issues are separately not to hold hostage the entire nation in effect trying to decimate a program that's been passed by congress, signed by the president, upheld by supreme court. a recent election me whe it was a central issue in the presidential race. and this kind of holding hostage is really in interest to the entire nation. kben, very bad to the economy, undercutting job growth and i think really calmer heads, common sense ought to prevail here. and hopefull

obama care. fully implement the president's health care plan and a repeal of a tax on medical devices that help fund it. any house gop plan faces certain death in the senate. harry reid said any bill that would change obama care is unacceptable. we have this whole thing covered for you. we are on top of it, every angel. gloria is standing by. at the capital, chief congretion that correspondent, dana bash standing by as well. gloria, i want to go to you first. why would house republicans push changes to obama care in senate democrats insist, insist it's a nonstarter? >> reporter: well, have you ever heard of a show boat, don? i think that's what this is. precisely because they know that it isn't going to go anywhere in the senate. this gives a republican party, which hans been divided over substance using continuing resolution to defund obama care an easy vote. they can all unite around the fact they don't like the president's health care plan. they know the president's health care plan is not ver

under obama care, a similar plan is 195 bucks a month. we are paying more so other people can get health care and never going to get benefits. >> you have to talk $75 to $195, when you make it real, i think they'll respond. talk about the coolness factor, you talk about younger voters, they think obama is cool, leftism is cool. obama and mom jones, not cool, leftism, not cool. nanny state is not cool. i think there are a lot of kids if they thought about it are natural libertarians. they hate the fact the nsa is spying on texts, calls, internet usage. that's a real opening for us. how do we craft that message that freedom is cool. >> i think anti-establishmentism is cool among young people. don't want to be part of the status quo. it is providing a lot of young people their hook into libertarianism or conservative principles. a lot of young people are starting to hear the message and like it, they don't think it is cool moving into their parents' basement, went to college, try to make it on their own, and a third of people are moving back

people, you know, obama care. that's all that i know. >> reporter: according to the kaiser foundation, 43% of americans still have no idea about the new exchanges. >> i have a question. >> who created this affordable health care plan. >> this was passed by congress. >> oh, congress created it. >> the affordable care act, yes. >> and i'm just wondering as a citizen of america, how come i did not hear of this? >> reporter: while health care reform is a frequent source of contention in congress, many of the people we spoke to here in new jersey were hearing details of obama care for the very first time just this week. >> i'm definitely going to read into it. >> reporter: is obama forcing americans to get health insurance? it sounds that way? >> reporter: in rural america, a nonprofit group funded mainly by insurance companies, health care groups, and charities is working to spread the word. dispatching 130 field workers in ten states. >> we can follow up with you. >> reporter: on october 1st, 48 million uninsured ame

my bill is to repeal obama care. we passed my bill off the house floor earlier this year. >> doesn't it take -- >> charlie, for 100 years, the democrats worked to get socialized medicine in this country. and i'm telling you, it took 100 days for the american -- i know you wouldn't shut down a woman. under no circumstances would you shut down a woman. so i'll have my peace, too. it didn't take 100 days for the american people to say, oops, what happened? first of all, they knew that no one read the bill before it went through. then they were told if they liked their health care, they could keep it. that's not true. then they were told by the president that they would save $2,500 a year on their premium. instead, they're paying $3,000 more a year for their premium. >> you're talking about feeling good and exercising -- >> we're talking about having a job and having some scratch in your wallet. that's what the american people want. >> repeal means the house and the senate and the president's signature wipes out the -- >

the american people don't want the government shut down and they don't want obama care. >> obama care is dead. >> right a the the center of the debate is republican senator ted cruz who is threatening a filibuster. >> i will do anything else and possible to defeat obama care. >> he joins us live. >>> secretary of state calls on the u.s. to act. >> this fight about syria's chemical weapons is not a game. it's real, it's important. >> we'll discuss what happens next with charles. we'll talk with claire mccaskill who is leading the charge, and our power player of the week, ivanka trump. >> i represent the feminine voice of a masculine brand. >> all right now on fox news sunday. >> hello, again. the clock is ticking. the government shuts down in just eight days unless congress agrees on a bill to fund federal agencies. on friday the house passed a bill to keep the government going until mid december but they also cut off funding for obama care, and harry reid said that is dead in the senate. ted cruz is leading the drive, welcome back to "fox news sunday." >> thank you, chris, good to be

, affordable care act, obama care, whatever we want to call it. before i let you go, i want to ask you to give us an update on the military sexual assault question. i understand you have three generals who have endorsed your approach and most recently we saw a trial going forward in annapolis, a rape case, where the prosecution, which was the military prosecution, really many people believe went after the victim more than you would in a civilian court of justice. tell me how that is progressing. when can you get a vote on your proposals? >> we will again have a vote on this kmons sense re -- common sense reform, late november, as early as december. so many victims are asking to take this decision-making out of the chain of command because they don't trust the chain of command. generals have said the reason why we don't have people reporting these crimes because they don't trust us, don't trust the chain of command. we have three prominent generals, highest ranking general female in the army coming out to say this is the right thing. we have the hi

ted cruz fought obama care. the history of this matter, i think, where we are today where republicans are today. if you go back to late spring, early summer, you have conservatives in both the house and the senate pushing leadership in both bodies to embrace making obama care at least part of the debate this fall, the budget and that debate. there was resistance among some members of leadership, not everybody. it wasn't clear at all that would be part of the debate as we were approaching the october 1st sign-up dates as obama care was about to be implemented it was entirely possible that republicans were going to not be talking about obama care at all and what you had from senator cruz and senator lee and others were attempts to make it part of the debate. i think they've chosen the wrong vehicle or vehicle not likely to work now but at least it's part of the debate did a few seconds. one-year delay, is that the off-ramp? >> well, you know, they can try that. that will not fly either. i think it's to tie this to

i think obama care is a train wreck. it is a disaster and it is a nightmare, to use the words of mr. hoffa, and it's time we see more leaders in washington listening to the american people. >> sounds like the democrats here in washington are obsessed with shutting down the government. i don't know anyone who wants to shutdown the government. the only thing we want to shutdown is obama care. >> let's talk to hillary rosen and ben ferguson. a cnn political commentator. let's get down to it. republicans, we hear, are going to get the brunt of the blame for a shutdown. is the tea party putting republican control of the house at risk in 2014? >> i don't think the republicans will get the brunt of the blame here. the president of the united states of america said this week i will not negotiate with the republicans. so, how can you say the republicans are going to be the ones to get the majority of the blame if the president refuses to negotiate? the second issue here is this is not the republicans are coming out and saying tha

no one is making everyone get obama care health insurance. only about 15 million people will get obama care health insurance. no one in government was exempted from obama care because no one in government was supposed to be included in obama care because people in government already have health insurance. employer provided health insurance. obama care is about helping people get insurance who do not already have it. obama care is designed to have no effect on people who already have health insurance like chief justice john roberts. but asking rand paul to understand or add and or admit any of that is asking way too much. >> up next, republicans are now so afraid of ted cruz that they are actually sending opposition research against him to fox news. you work. and you want to get an mba. but going back to school is hard... because you work. now, capella university offers a revolutionary new way to get your degree. it's called flexpath and it's the most direct path, leveraging what you've learned on the job and focusing on what you need to know

the model for obama care. i don't want to relitigate those, obviously there are differences, but do you buy that? were people not thinking this guy's going to repeal obama care when they voted for romney? >> i don't think one election is run on a single issue. they had their view they presented to the american public and we had ours. there was an election and it worked out obama was reelected but that doesn't change the fact that the house of representatives, that majority was also reeje-elere-elected. they were sent here because people had problems with spending, taxes and regulations and job losses that are occurring because of obama care. it's their duty they believe to take the frustrations and anxieties to washington and litigate it. here's the other thing. all the talk of bullies and scalps and everything like that, these are substantive disagreements that legislators are bringing to the white house and to their colleagues in the senate, and they have a difference of opinion. in many of these cases, they

not a single solitary republican voted for obama care. it is wildly unpopular in most of our districts. the president himself is determining which portions of that law can turn on and which portions to turn off, and you could argue that you need to know they're extorting him in what he does turn on and turn off, to use his word. he may not like the fact that we're doing this strategically, but he has done the exact same thing. he just doesn't like it when it's done to him. >> it seems he has been used to some of his party following him. >> now over a year the scandal began with the death of four americans, the attacks, the terrorist attack on our consulate, the annex. what is likely to change with these interrogatories that will be delivered tomorrow and the likely predictable responses that led the review board. >> your viewers that have been following bengauze where i for over a year now probably not that much. for your viewers that are curious, hey, why am i still hearing about benghazi after a year, i thought there was an accountabili

. >> repeal obama care. >> i'm tired of it. >> president obama is again calling on congress to do something. >> the tension is certainly building. >> there should be no conversation about shutting the government down. >> what's going on here? >> there are mixed signals ham penning here. >> let's start with some tough love. >> john boehner is a speaker in name only. >> boehner has given up. >> he has a caucus he can't lead. >> finally given up. >> real world circumstances. >> it's irresponsible. awe this has become the theater of the absurd. >> the walking on shards of glass. >> i am so happy. >> they're going to get bloody on this one. >> obama care is the law. >> it is the law. >> i think we have a shot at this. >> what's going on here? >> are we headed for a government shutdown? >> we'll continue to do everything we can. >> we'll unveil a plan to repeal president's failed health care law. >> this is the step they'll take. >> the gop obsession to repeal obama care. >> the rest of the country, awaits the finale of this preposterouser exsize. ---er exsize. >> house speaker john boehner gave

do with caring about people, you know, obama care. basically, it's all i know. >> reporter: according to the kaiser family foundation, a lot of americans don't know about it. >> who created the affordable health care plan. >> it was approved by congress, the affordable care. >> i'm wondering as a citizen of america, how come i did not hear about this. >> reporter: it's a contention in congress, many people we spoke to were hearing details for the first time this week. >> i'm definitely going to read into it. >> is obama forcing americans to get insurance? it sounds that way. >> reporter: a group funded by insurance companies, health care groups is working to spread the word. dispatching field workers in ten states. >> we can follow up with you. >> reporter: 48 million uninsured americans will be able to get insurance through federal and state exchanges. they must enroll before march 31st. >> they can shop like you shop for an airline ticket or a flat screen tv and see what's the best price for you. >> this is all new to me. i never kn

defunds obama care is dead. dead. >> and right at the center of the debate, republican senator ted cruz who's threatening a fill buster. >> i will do everything necessary and anything possible to defund obama care. >> senator cruz joins us live. it's a fox news sunday exclusive. then, syria submits an inventory of its chemical weapons program as secretary of state kerry calls on the u.n. to act. >> this fight about chemical weapons is not a game. it's real. it's important. >> we'll discuss what happens next with former weapons inspector charles duelfer. plus, lawmakers are calling for aggressive background checks. we'll talk with claire mccaskill who is leading the charge. >>> and our power play of the week. iylana trump. all right now on fox news sunday. hello again from fox news in washington. well, the clock is ticking. the government shuts down in just eight days unless congress agrees on a bill to fund federal agencies. on friday, the house passed a measure to keep the government going until mid-december bu

people don't care about obama care. 40% do. the marketplace rejected obama care. more than 60 persons of the american people are on self-insured programs. it's a nonworkable program. the house has its point of view, the senate has it points of view. the president forgot about his legacy and became a leader, he would say all right, let's come up with a compromise. it's all or nothing for the senate and american people want two things. they want to defund obama care and they don't want government to shut down. >> first off, if can you go out and find me a bunch of americans who sit around their table saying let's defund obama care, that's a family i want to meet. this is a washington creation. it's not that much different than the past where republicans had their message. democrats have theirs. the problem here for the republicans is they're pursuing the exact wrong tactics. they don't thank the government every day because the road is built. when you tell troops they're not going to not get paid. government is essential to their daily lives. >> i have a different t
