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

inside obama care for one year. that, of course, is going to be a nonstarter just like the other ways they've tried to change either defund or what we'll see now, the active bill in the senate which is delay obama care entirely for a year, repeal the medical dwits w device tax. democrats down there in the senate insist all of this is a nonstarter. suzanne, you hear republicans talking about the fact that they -- they're not shutting down the government. it's the democrats because they won't negotiate. it is true if republicans just got a win, any win, they could give in. and they could allow this to go through, but democratic sources say this is just a temporary bill funding the government and they simply will not negotiate now because if they give in on anything now, they're going to be in a bad negotiating position down the road when we get to big things like the debt ceiling. for now, the ball is in the senate's court. john boehner made a big deal out of saying that the senate isn't even in. they didn't come to w

i hear lots of half-baked nonsense about obama care. i don't see people going through the list, the part of which you just articulated. that is, a shortage of 130,000 doctors by 2025. >> right. >> 90,000 doctors short by this decade. premiums rising as we have reported this endlessly and it's as if in the national liberal media this is a popularity contest, some sort of political maneuver contrivance. where do we go from here, congressman? >> it is the simple thing i come back to over and over again. there were three things states when obama care was passed. reduce costs. make sure every american is covered. it will increase the quality of care. no one's saying that anymore. because there is no perception to increase quality of care. there is no reduced cost. it is going up. at the end of it, cbo said 31 million americans will be uncovered and we have 31 million americans not covered in it. we have to come back to what's occurring on the ground and say this actually does not work. what a lot of people said from the beginning. made folks

look, why not delay at least parts of obama care for a year? >> because it's the signature achievement. and it's funny -- >> is that a good reason? political reason like that? >> it's a good reason. it happens to be a very good law. >> one thing that's going on here is just a failure on part of the republican caucus to actually understand anything about this thing. they haven't done the policy. in fact, all of the substantive news over obama care have been good. premiums are coming in below expectations. there will be some technical glitches with the computer systems but that's not fundamental. people who support this law are looking forward, they're almost cheering at the preliminary results. the odds are, this is going to do a lot of good for a lot of people. >> should the president delay the employer mandate? yes or no? >> yes. >> big business gets the delay. this is policy ignorance. >> the employer mandate is a trivial add-on to the law. while the individual mandate is central to it. you don't understand that. >> i guess the bottom line is

care. >> 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! >> i have this friend, you know. and he got sick. like cancer sick. but because there was -- wasn't obama care, he couldn't afford the treatments so he was like backed into a corner, know what i mean? >> and keep in mind, this man was a teacher with a family. >> he was. he was. so he did what any of us would have done. he started cooking meth. >> i think we can probably wrap this up. >> wait, hold on, you know what happened to my friend? >> i'm told that was a "breaking bad" dude. this week's host and former cast member tina fey had the honoring of welcoming six new cast moebs to the historic sketch comedy show. ♪ really want to make it ♪ let me see you shake it good. good. that's very embarrassing. you're going to feel a deep shame coming up from here and out. it's natural. bring it home, nerds! ♪ ♪ got a great show ♪ so sing aloud and >> commit! let yo

i hear lots of half baked no ed nonsense about obama care. that is a shortage of 130,000 doctors by 2025. 90,000 doctors short by the end of this decade. premiums riding as we have reported here endlessly. it's as if this is some sort of popularity contest. some sort of political maneuver on the part of republicans because they can't get beyond their own ideological blinders. where do we go from here? >> obama care said it would reduce cost and make sure everyo americans are covered and have better quality of care. at end of it cbo has said 31 million americans will be uncovered. after all this we still have americans uncovered. we have to come back to what's really occurring on the ground and say this does not work. it made a lot of folks nervous and now that they are seeing it, their not see nervous, they're fearful of it. we'll work through this one piece at a time. all these are major problems that you just can't ignore. >> always good to talk with you. appreciate. >>> it's an amateurish move. president obama asking for help from bill cli

when asked why is it that you shut down the government at this point just to block obama care? he basically fessed up and said once consumers get hooked on having health insurance and subsidies, they won't want to give it up. you can look at the transcript. >> we told you before when it comes to policy and budget disputes, the party is united and always beats the party that isn't. it's hard to look at the gop and view them as a party that is united. the most immediate push is about getting consumers to sign up. president obama claims signing up will be as easy as buying a plane tick or flat screen tv. >> i can tell you that in many states across the country, if you are a 27-year-old young woman, don't have health insurance, you get on that exchange you will be able to purchase high quality health insurance for less than the cost of your cell phone bill. >> the white house is unveiling a report which they state shows that the first detailed look at premiums for health insurance in 36 states will run insurance markets. the second lowest cost silver plan will run an average of $32

care. >> nothing to do with obama care. employers want to have full-time employs because it makes sense for them to do that. that will not change. >> number two, for you, ryan, the irs is coming for you. not true. >> well, i mean, the irs is not going to be coming after companies because they delayed that for one year. you know, let's say the irs did come for you. the penalty is something like -- wendel would know the exact number. it's something like $75. it's not a huge fee when you're at the end of the year, either writing your tax bill or you're getting your refund back. so this is not something where the irs is remotely incentivized to be sending out any s.w.a.t. teams of agents to collect this change from people. >> you know what i love about this one, they conveniently forget about the part that republicans inserted last year when we were having a conversation about women's rights that essentially women would have to prove to the irs if they'd had an abortion, they'd have to prove that it was the rape exception by pr

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

. >> this whole fight is centered on obama care. one way or the other the president still promises it's happening tomorrow. >> all of that plus the story that would have been grabbing all the headlines today if not nor the shutdown. ♪ >> the bangles indeed are right, we're on a manic monday heading towards the first government shutdown in 17 years. right now the senate is back in action or back to inaction just nine hours, less than nine hours before the shutdown. once again, they have punted the ball back to the house. wall street is bracing for impact and even a one-week shutdown will cut a tenth of a percent off the economy. they are more concerned about the october 17th debt ceiling deadline that is fast coming and president obama met with senior staff this weekend to discuss the potential shutdown, but unlike past shutdown showdowns, aides say this time there's no back room talks happening between the president and capitol hill. the president says he expects to hear from congressional leaders later today. there's still time o

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

or obama care, as it's known. they want to defund it or delay it as part of any deal. we heard this from the speaker of the house, john boehner. >> obama care's driving up the cost of health care, it's destroying millions of american jobs. it is a train wreck. it would have to go. we've done everything humanly possible to make our point and we'll continue to make our point. >> either my way or the highway approach carried the day. in this case, the highway leads over a cliff to a shutdown or a default, either of which would be devastating for the economy. republican leadership has been dragged kicking and screaming into a fight that they know is bad for their party and bad for their country. and they should know, it's a fight they will not win. >> there's another fight brewing right now, a fight within the republican party itself. republican congressman tim griffin, for example, fired this shot over the bow of the senate republican counterparts, quote, so far, senate republicans are good at getting facebook likes

supporters of obama care are also in the ad fight. their target is also the exchange and encourage enrollment to fund obama care. >> there's little understanding about the personal impacts of this legislation. we want to try to get around the political information and help people and families understand what they should choose that's best for them. >> reporter: much like the campaign, organizations that support or oppose the act have identified battlegrounds, parts of the nation they feelg ad wars can have the greatest impact. obama care supporters targets chicago land, illinois, los angeles and miami dade in florida based on the estimate of greatest number of uninsured people. americans for prosperity targets michigan, wisconsin, florida, virginia, texas, arkansas and nevada based on estimate of uninsured and potential of future political impact. grass roots operations for activists on both sides are still in place since the last election. they have never been used before to directly influence the implementation of the law. >>> the m

they said we'll fund the government if obama care is dead. now, the senate is supposed to take that bill, take out the obama care provision, send it back to the house. what happens after that is anybody's guess and that's why we are now facing yet another budget showdown. the senate will likely vote yes on a bill to keep the government operating through mid-november, averting a shutdown at moment monday. lawmakers will remove part of the bill that kills obama care, something that house republicans demand. >> will you now accept a clean c.r. to avoid a government shutdown? >> i do not see that happening. there's said to be considering a one-year delay of the health care law or repealing the tax on a medical device that helps fund it. >> there will be options avail toab to us. there will not be speculate about what we do or do not do until they pass the bill. they insist they won't negotiate while the clock tick downs to a partial government shutdown. >> we we're going to have a clean c.r. that's what we're going to have. that's what we're goin

to -- as this obama carrollout, you know, and crisscrossing the country trying to get this obama care off to a successful start because, you know, i think that there is an interesting nexus. if you think all the way back to 2008 during that epic primary battle, it was hillary care and so i think that it's beneficial to the clintons if obama care is implemented. >> quickly, what could you make of his comments regarding putin and syria? >> well, you know, i think that with regards to putin and syria, i think that we're starting to see people moving forward. but clearly the president -- the former president is supporting obama and it's going to be interesting to see how their relationship evolves over these next couple of years, especially as we head into 2014 and inch closer to 2016. >> all right, kevin cirilli with politico, thanks. >>> the mystery over who won that $400 million jackpot finally solved or is it. >>> if you love french fry, stick around. we have big news ahead. the job jugglers. the up all-nighters. and the ones who turn ideas into action. we've made our passions our lif

obama care has been the law for four years. why don't they get a life and talk about something else? >> not going to be extorted, get a life. those were what democrats. but today tea party extremists also heard it from other republicans. >> we are dividing the republican party rather than attacking democrats. it's very dysfunctional. the american people do not want the government shut down. >> have you ever seen this kind of in-fighting between one party? >> no. >> the house gop will meet tomorrow at noon to talk about what to do next. but tonight it's a field trip to the movies. believe it or not, house republicans are all going out to see the new film "prisoners." it's about a villain taking hostage. yes, hostages. what is this? a how-to manual for republicans? will they be taking notes? but this is real life, real people were hurt. republicans better stop these playing games and face reality. they'll be facing reckoning with the american people. joining me now is congresswoman jan schakowsky from illinois. and melissa harris

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

the issue of obama care is over. it was resolved in the last presidential election when the president was re-elected and said that he was going to continue with it. >> there's so much potential for bipartisan efforts to advance this legislation in the senate. but senator reid needs to bring up the proposal and adopt an attitude that is broader than our way or the highway. there's time left for us to work together. the senate needs to hustle. >> the republicans want the administration to believe that they now want only a delay. well, why don't they state that forthrightly and say they are now for the affordable health care act but they want to delay it because of certain issues and bring them forward? >> i'll show you some interesting numbers right now. september 20th, the house passed its spending bill with no funding for obama care. that vote was 230-189. pretty much a straight party vote with two democrats, one republican switching sides. early sunday morning, the house voted again. it was almost identical, 2230, 1

you can't say obama care solved it. but you can argue whether obama care contributed to it, it is hard to say when inflation is at its lowest in 15 years -- >> explain to me, sir, why i got an e-mail today, a woman said she is in her 70s, both she and her husband's supplemental insurance is going up each month. >> when you have a company with 300 million people, there are going to be winners and losers, the opponents, they single out individual people rather than looking at what is happening overall. and overall, health care inflation is at its lowest rate in 15 years. >> but if we can talk numbers in health care inflation, but if there are going to be less doctors who are going to go into providing medicare services, i mean, this is not by any means sort of the end-all answer. i mean, there are a lot of problems, a lot of people have legitimate complaints about this. if their prices are going up. they can't get their doctors. everyone agrees our health care needed something. everybody agrees, what they don't agree on i

i hear lots of half-baked nonsense about obama care. i don't see people going through the list, the part of which you just articulated. that is, a shortage of 130,000 doctors by 2025. >> right. >> 90,000 doctors short by this decade. premiums rising as we have reported this endlessly and it's as if in the national liberal media this is a popularity contest, some sort of political maneuver contrivance. where do we go from here, congressman? >> it is the simple thing i come back to over and over again. there were three things states when obama care was passed. reduce costs. make sure every american is covered. it will increase the quality of care. no one's saying that anymore. because there is no perception to increase quality of care. there is no reducedcost. it is going up. at the end of it, cbo said 31 million americans will be uncovered and we have 31 million americans not covered in it. we have to come back to what's occurring on the ground and say this actually does not work. what a lot of people said from the beginning. made folks

we all know they're not going to end up getting rid of obama care. so then they're going to double down on this fight on the debt ceiling. because what happened, as you said, look, ted cruz went around the country. he got everybody worked up. all the far right folks. now it is going over in the senate. he is not going to be able to prevail, ted cruz. so then they're going to try to take this whole fight -- >> it is only going to make that fight worse, they will lose this and double down in the next fight. >> in fact, if you look at the plan that came out of the house republican caucus today, it was plan b, plan a was let's do this on the continuing resolution. but backup plan b, okay, if we don't succeed we'll take it to the debt ceiling. as you know, it is bad enough to be playing with government shutdown, but you're playing with the economic equivalent of nuclear weapons when you're playing with the debt ceiling. >> thank you so much, joining me now, the democrat from oregon. all right, ball is in your court. the house is going to pass a continuing

what does it say about obama care? it's like the only people who support it are the people who don't have to endure it while the rest of us go through hell with it. it's just unfair. dana. unfair. >> one of the things -- >> it's unfair. >> it's unfair. turnabout is fair play. juan, one of the things that the unions basically said they want to do is they want to double dip. they want the employer contribution and they want to get the subsidies and looks like the white house, i think, they are going to be hard-pressed to try to carve out unions from this. but what do you think? >> i agree with you. >> you really think that they're not going to? >> i don't think they can do it. i think it's too big a carve out and i think it feeds in to the kind of opposition to obama care that is so rampant on the right. >> and on the rise. >> what the -- >> by the way. >> what the unions have said is they're not interested in the right wing agenda, which is repeal obama care. they just want to fix this so that they get benefits. because

but that is what mike huckabee is promising, send me money and i will take care of obama care, even though there is no conceivable effort between getting your money and obama care. you see where people's fears and desires are poorly informed and very visceral, and then you capitalize on those ideas literally, but getting folks to send you their capital, to send you some of the money because you tricked them into thinking you will take care of it. that you will get it done. but in this case, this is not just a run of the mill con man, mike huckabee is a very specific con man. he came in second to john mccain in the running for president of the united states. the guy who came in second to mitt romney in that kind of race also has that same kind of gig, just set up a website and you go. rick santorum has kept close tabs on his great big donate button, as well. here you can see it at the bottom. donate today. rick santorum's was regarding the repeal of money to people. how will it stop the u.n. treaty? no idea. but hey, send money. here is a beg donate button on the rick santorum button, to ke

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 remove 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 hea

benefits of obama care. it is intellectually dishonest and speaks to what a gimmick they are engaged in. >> it almost seems like they have the self destruct button right next to them. do you want to comment on that? >> a very painful struggle going on within the republican party. i think it's important, that as a party, we learn to live with each other. even if we have diversity of thought and don't agree on every issue. i think the slash and burn tactic, that if you're not with me, we will take you out in a primary. that is not a healthy way to grow a party. we have to learn to live with each other. >> the reality is, ana, that small group, the tea party republicans, are in fact representing the majority. they want to defund obama care to shut the government down. >> what john boehner did this week was, frankly, i think a very smart move and very practical move in the sense that he called the bluff of folks like senator ted cruz. he said, okay, you guys on the senate, okay, hot shot -- >> sorry to interrupt

look at what's happening with obama care. and the impact that that, $2.6 trillion of additional expense is going to have on federal spending. we want to solve the problem. we'd like to have the president meet with us instead of meeting with clinton. >> senator klobuchar, your thoughts? >> first of all, david, i think our economy is on the cusp of great opportunity here. the unemployment rate in my state is down to 5.1%. the real estate market is turning around and you're seeing improvements across the country. but we're not where we're supposed to be. the last thing that the american people want right now is people playing political games, putting in poison pills and threatening to shut the government down and default on our debt. that's what i think we should be doing, is moving forward on the immigration bill reducing our debt by $160 billion in ten years. if you want to talk about dead reduction, there's a good one. moving forward on the farm bill and looking at opportunities to help americans get jobs. this brinksmanship

care is the best route to defunding obama care. all it does is shut down the government and keep obama care funded, and none of us want that. >> a preliminary senate vote is expected today. the senate is expected also to send its funding bill, including money for the affordable care act, back to the house this weekend. susan? >> ko im in washington. thank you. >>> well, some in congress are skeptical of president obama's diplomatic overtures to iran. he signals he is open to talks on iran's nuclear program. jericka duncan reports. >> reporter: president obama had lunch with world leaders at the u.n. there was speculation that he might cross paths or even shake hands with iran's new moderate president hassan rowhani, but that didn't happen. the delegate skipped the lunch. earlier president obama told the u.n. general assembly his administration will assume talks with iran aimed at keeping its nuclear plans in check. leaders of the two countries have not met face to face for more than 30 years. >> the roadblocks may prove to be too g

obama care, one of the goal of obama care to stop -- to be able to decouple that so you don't leave your job because you don't want to leave your insurance. the president mentioning in his speech maybe that will open up entrepreneurship, perhaps, who knows? >> clarity there for everyone. christine romans, thanks so you the president selling it across the country very, very hard to get people to sign up and support this thing. >> yeah. >> more of what we're working on for "around the world." the debt ceiling has to be raised in three weeks or so or the u.s. is not going to be able to pay its bills. can washington come up with an agreement on time? >> heard that before. >>> all right. check this out. amazing pictures, doctors are growing a nose on a man's forehead. we'll explain how they were able to do this and why when we come back. okay, listen up! i'm re-workin' the menu. mayo? corn dogs? you are so outta here! aah!

. >> and oregon is putting out ads for the obama care exchanges, well put them up. senator murphy, who is instrumental on the draw. if you were happy about that, senator jeff murkley played a big role in that. >> thank you so much. all right, congressman a, you and i do not agree on the substance here. so we'll stipulate that and say we will not solve that in the news segment. so i just want to talk strategy here, okay? you guys are going to pass a continuing resolution that strips out funding for obama care. what happens if it is dead on arrival in the senate? what happens here? >> it depends, one of the best things that chris says and i happen to agree with him, is what it does is move to the senate which is where the battle needs to take place. we're house supporters of what rand paul and lee are trying to do on the house floor. if it was just up to the house we would have solved the obama care issue a long time ago, so the battle needs to be over. >> you're already doing the thing the house republicans are doing already. which is shift the blame to the senate, w

to obama care. >> can i just comment on guns? i don't know if that was the right place to talk about guns. because if you -- could have gotten maybe speck aboific about he meant. who is he compromising with? the left and the far left? there's no other -- there's no one else he's talking to about guns. if he would, he would talk about mental health. it's not really about rounding up guns. it's about looking at the people who have guns. i don't know. gun free zones create a fair ground of sitting ducks. >> somebody who was at a mental -- in a mental institution, should they have guns? you ask them. >> well, they can't. weem done this time and time. >> the law's in place lshgs bob. >> if you've been admitted into a mental institution -- >> he worse. >> forcibly admitted against your will, then you cannot get a gun. he was not, bob, ever. >> i'm saying anybody -- >> that's what happens, it become, a strongman argument where there's nothing really to fight against. he's not arguing against anybody. and he's not compromising with anybo

this is all about obama care. getting rid of the health care law is inside this bill that the senate is voting on today. house republicans put it in there. they said we'll fund the government if obama care is dead. now, the senate is supposed to take that bill, take out the obama care provision, send it back to the house. what happens after that is anybody's guess, and that is why we are now facing yet another budget showdown. the senate will likely vote yes on a bill to keep the government operating through mid-november, averting a shutdown at moment monday. lawmakers will remove part of the bill that kills obama care, something that house republicans demand. >> will you now accept a clean c.r. from the senate to avoid a government shutdown? >> i do not see that happening. >> instead they're going to consider a one-year delay of the health care law or repealing the tax on a medical device that helps fund it. >> there will be options available to us. there will not be speculation about what we do or do not do unti
