johnathon gruber is right. democrats have not been honest about obama care. they told us if we like our health care plan we can keep it and they told us insurance premiums would drop. middle-class families are not benefitting and chick schummer stepped forward and said it is it a bad move for democrats politically. >> what about that, richard? people in the white house were caught off guard that a leader of the democratic forward said this is a mistake in 2010, richard. >> i think chuck schummer is trying to say, we didn't do the politics of it right. we shouldn't have worked on it first. we should have worked on a jobs bill or stimulus or highway bill. that is here or there. everybody is seeing the benefits of the law. now republicans taking over the leadership have to have a replacement worker or just as well as the affordable care act. they will have to find a way for americans. >> chuck schummer said more than that. wait a second, basically, you know that democrats messed up and should have focused on middle-class and not on health care. >> on a job bill.

it says gruber is not an expert on politics or public opinion. instead he was paid to tell the administration what the economic impact of the law would be. if he had said that the administration had hired him to run his model because that model gave them the answers they wanted to hear, rather than more accurate numbers they did not want to know about, i would be extremely concerned about, but that's not what gruber said. everything i heard in people drafting the affordable care act, the obama administration was onnest and earnest. is that a valid point? >> that is a valid point. i don't think -- i think ultimately the truth will be found out, the committee will do a good job of unearthing what they need. i think the more important thing, i would love to see congress deal with how we make obamacare work for americans so that community action programs that have to pay 18% increases in their affordable care costs can afford to pay their workers and serve the poor, and not take a hit from cost of the affordable care act. >> chris, you were about to

a line in it and i'm going to borrow liberally, i think the president said that regarding jonathan gruber, that the notion that politicians really aren't up for the challenge of dealing with things like reform and this is for every developed economy in the groupings, therefore, we have a lot of policies that are flawed or half thought or never put through cost benefit analysis, many come from unelected officials like central bankers to put something on the books is better than nothing. do you agree that has -- rings true? >> no question about it, rick. whether it's the united states or europe, the politicians are not up to the challenge for a variety of reasons of which i'm not going to go into right now, so the central bankers have taken it upon themselves to try to create both fiscal and monetary policies. and that's why you have a lot of policies that just don't seem to be doing everything. many times it looks like the central bankers are pushing on a string but that's the best we have right now. and that's the only thing we have. i don't see it changing any time soon. >> i agree with

professor gruber just delivered a death blow to obamacare in what i'm calling the "za-gruber film." and i'm not the only one out there who is offended. just ask south carolina congressman and guy who put his wig on backwards . ( cheers and applause ) trey gowdy. >> i would say this to the-- to the professor. put down the cognac, and the loss writings of j.d. salinger. if you want to see how stupid our fellow citizens are, take a look at last tuesday night. >> stephen: yes, if you want to see how stupid americans are, just look at who they elected last tuesday. ( cheers and applause ) in your face. these are smart guys. what are you doing wasting time on salinger's lost stories? the only good one is "a girl i knew." if you want to make it through "hapworth 16" you're going to need something stronger than cognac. of course, i don't have to tell you, democrat democrats are, le. fox will do it for me. >> the entire process of getting this passed was all predicated on manipulating, lying to the american people because they knew they couldn't get it passed any other way. >> they new exwoo

and gruber is the brains behind not just the president's health care plan, but that of many states. >> reporter: jonathan gruber has gone from the man with the magic health care form la to passive pariah. >> a huge political advantage and basically calls for the stupidity of the american voter. >> gruber's expertise had brought him millions in consulting fees including vermont. >> the only way we could pass it is by mislabeling it. >> reporter: four years ago, the nation decided to create the nation's first single payer system. which goes beyond obama care, because everyone's health care will be paid for by taxpayers. the problem was the cost -- to help figure out how to pay for it, the government turned to an architect of obama care, jonathan gruber. and as with obama care, president obama has a transparency problem. peter sterling runs vermont leads a single payer advocacy group, and he applauds the decision not to release all the details just yet. >> it's a very complicated, complicated evident that the administration is taking, it's like turning a battleship around. >> reporter: b

gruber knows that we, the people can't make our own decisions. a little sarcasm there. the next step the fda has decided people are too dumb and will start heavy-handed potus regulating. jenny says, i don't have a problem. i think calorie counts will affect me. seeing it spelled out is stunning sometimes. for those of us relying to know what is in the food we eat. without it, we're forced not to eat out. what about fat? why not salt? why don't they tell us that too? in addition to follow me on facebook and facebook, be sure to like fox business on facebook. and here are some of your emails. on the issue of voter id, linda, i have to show my id to see a doctor, to write a check, to get on an airplane, so why not when i vote, the most precious thing we have as a us citizen. warren: yes, yes, yes, stop stuffing the ballot box. more control of voting is needed. we must have a true voice of the people. buddy, thank you very much for your informative show. from voter fraud to market analysis, to this day, i use coupon sherpa, one of the apps you recommended on your show. keep

melissa: jonathan gruber tasting some humble pie. he called us all stupid agreeing to face music in washington. he will testify before the house oversight committee coming up december 9. i wonder what they will ask him and what information they are looking for be it this latest study that surfaced that he worked on anything 90% of individuals without employer-sponsored insurance to their premiums spike by an average of 41%, so the fact they knew prices ar were going to go, obviously was represented in a different way, will they ask who knew about that? >> i am a gruber fan. i believe he told the truth about obamacare. these were taped events. this is an important cog in the machinery of obamacare who spoke the truth. >> i'm telling you he is putting himself out there. >> he volunteered to do this you will not take the fifth. i think he is desperate. making williams of dollars off government contracts, he is losing his contracts in states and he needs to pay the bills, it is that simple. >> play devils advocate, say what he said on th

>> gruber will say he made a mistake. but the interesting thing is his relationship about democrats. democrats threw him under the bus and nancy pelosi didn't know who he was even though she soited his work. and the president down played the relationship even though the gruber went to the white house. he was in the room with obama care. >> the president called him some staffer, right? >> right. yeah, yeah. and even though it was a week after the uproar happen the president down played any connection to gruber. and interesting that gruber agreed to testify. he could have been subpeonaed and he agreed to testify. i think he may be firing back at republicans but more interestingly democrats. >> when you parse his apologies, he has said that he regretted some of the things he said, but not necessarily apologizing for them. it is like he's sorry for making them public. >> yeah, all of the media seized on. it he will have to be contrite and both republican ands democrats will beat up on him on the hearing. he was involved in th

how would you want to see him gruberred? >> he needs to come out and tell exactly what he knows with regard to the working with the government and the president in particular and his team, what was fact and what was fiction. we know now that really, nothing that's been said about the health care bill is actually true. and they -- if you notice, the business mandate is coming in after the election. what does that mean? you talk about jobs and job creation. right now you have this amazing wet blanket on businesses and individuals. they're not going past 50. since when is a work hour week like 29 hours? let's get back to reality here. let's take off the wet blanket and allow the economy to move forward and start chugging along. >> when you get fired up, your massachusetts accent comes out. >> you look at romney care and gruber was the architect of romney care which was the basis for obamacare. you didn't need gruber and his study to say that premiums could go up when you have a number of sick people signing up and not enough he

jonathan gruber? >> how could i forget? >> he called americans stupid. now he's set to testify before congress amid new word he warned years ago that the law would send premiums soaring. >> and opposition to obamacare helped push our hashtag one lucky guy into the national spotlight, former senator scott brown is here, and he's outnumbered at the top of the hour. >> yes, we'll see you then. heather: thanks so much, ladies, we'll be watching. jon: one of three people shot when that gunman opened fire at florida state university was left paralyzed. 31-year-old student -- 21-year-old student was shot three times, one bullet severely damaging his spine leaving him paralyzed from the waist down. >> ronnie was studying for his finals when he was shot three times in front of the strozier library. one of the first bullets struck his spine, and it's left him paralyzed from the waist down. despite his injuries, he's alive, and we're so grateful that he's here with us, and his condition has been updated from critical to serious. jon: the only person still hospitali

gruber when he testifies, wendell? >> reporter: frankly, we expect another apology for his comment about the, quote, stupidity of the american voter. gruber has already said the comment was inappropriate. he was talking about the white house not making it clear that obamacare was based on what all insurance is based on, a system in which healthy people pay in and sick people get money. that and the fact that the mandate that people either buy insurance or pay a penalty is a tax. spokesman josh earnest says the president doesn't see it as cynically as gruber does. >> the sentiments that were for expressed by dr. gruber don't actually reflect what actually happened in the process of passing and implementing this law. >> reporter: gruber, by the way, is a huge fan of the affordable care act. in an article in the new england journal of medicine, he calls it the most significant piece of social policy legislation in 50 years, but he said it was bound to raise some people's health care costs. martha: so who else do we expect
