we're back with dan pfeiffer, the senior adviser to the president. some republicans are reaching out and saying, you know, the president has already delayed implementation of some parts of obama care. why not delay implementation of the whole thing at least for a year to get through the current economic rises. >> we're not paying ransom for congress doing their job of paying bills. the second point, the affordable care act is passed by both houses of congress, signed by the president and upheld by the supreme court and validated in an election. if congress wants to change it, get the votes and repeal it. they don't have that. the job should be to implement the law and help americans get access. it is not something -- we did not spend all of this time refighting political battles. >> if this is the condition put forward by the republicans in order to keep the government funded and keep the debt ceiling going up, to at least delay, forget about repealing, delay full implementation of obama carrefour a year, that's a non-starter as far as the president

. >> welcome again to the newshour dan pfeiffer. let me just cite to you what republican leaders in the housing are saying this afternoon. they've modified their position somewhat. they're no longer insisting on a full delay or defunding of the health care law. they're now saying only if the president will only agree to delay the individual mandate, because they say after all, he's already delayed the business mandate. would the president consider that? >> my apology, we are not able to hear dan pfeiffer, can you hear me now? >> can you hear me now judy? there we go. >> i had a long winded question about whether the president would consider what the house republican leadership is now saying which is delay the individual mandate for ayear. >> no, the president will not consider that. the house is continuing to pass legislation they know will never become law. they know it will never pass the united states senate. it will never be signed by the president. they are trying to use the threat of shutting down the government to extract thi

you heard dan pfeiffer say he's not making any concessions whatsoever. >> why should he? you're talking about a -- about a two-month. >> 800,000 federal employees are about to lose their paychecks. >> the congress can pass that right now by passing a clean resolution. it's not a discontinuing resolution for obama care. they interjected this. the president is -- why for a two-month, think what they're asking for a two-month continuing resolution throw away your key program. we'll be in the same am situation two months from now. you can't negotiate with hostages. boehner is a hostage of the tea party. you can't negotiate with the hostage or the hostage taker. >> it is the natural process for the congress to say to the president we will not give you money unless we reach an agreement. >> there's a majority of people in congress who would pass the continuing resolution. what's happening is the tea party tail is wagging the republican party dog. >> jay carney is answering some questions at the briefing. let's listen in a little bit. >> tell us what the president just said abou

so he actually agreed with dan pfeiffer. but the rhetoric does high the substantive argument. for example, i think the gentleman's clip that you played, saying that obama care is the worst thing that could happen, and you hear this all the time, it's a job killer. if you want to argue it on the facts and get rid of all of this rhetoric, obama care proponents will win every single time on the facts. on the facts. that's not even close -- >> well -- i imagine -- >> you can go down the list of all the wrong things going on with obama care -- >> top talking point on the right is obama care is a job killer. when it passed what is the unemployment rate. >> it hasn't complemented yet. >> see, now you're backtracking. you said it's a job killer, the stock market has gone up. i don't think it's a credible argument, but i can't make the opposite argument credible. >> how about a specific? obama care has substantial increased the number of people getting paid for less than 30 hours a week? >> be, mark zandy did a study on that, went through all of the labor department data on this, could

dan pfeiffer saying oh well you know they have the they're like they're like they have an explosive vest on and this these are the these are the terms that they themselves used to describe their tactics not that one specifically like you said the taliban the insurgency i've heard republicans talk openly about this shoot the hostage thing you know and so then you know all of a sudden when when dan pfeiffer says it or when somebody else says it it's a big deal why why are you trying to hide it if your cause is that righteous because of that just then you go to say you know what is going to fact that's where we are we are the truest of true believers and we believe that somebody getting health insurance who doesn't have a now is like rational thing and we will fall on our sore yeah yeah amazing tommy christopher always appreciate your insights christine thank you tom. just. it's the good the bad and a very very a lot of faith just really ugly they're good robber right the former clinton labor secretary has just come out with a new documentary titled inequality for all focusing on the growin

white house aid dan pfeiffer -- describing the republicans refusing to give ground on the budget deadlock. >> this is about hate and it's now at your doorstep. this is about trying to make this president be viewed in the history of this country as a man who couldn't succeed. there is an element of serious racism here. >> racism. and schultz said that some republicans merely -- what does race have to do with this particular battle? ed schultz is a passionate advocate, but this time his passion got the best of him. >>> and the most overlooked story, ari fleischer picked a twitter fight with barack obama. the former white house spokesman tweeted this, how come barack obama's last tweet was more than 140 characters? does he play by different rules? scandalous. it might have been kind of funny especially since the president's message was under the 140 word limit. by the way, one of our guests earlier said that fox-- i can't without mentioning this "new york times" correction on the game, supermario brothers, remember that? the times made a reference to it and is now saying that mario luigi are

. >> dan pfeiffer for me probably the most concerning at all because he is the communications adviser. what's the strategy? >> the strategy is if you can't defend the policy, just pick crazy words to call republicans and hope it works. it actually has worked to some degree. you lock at the ratings, the approval ratings of the tea party, and they're really not that good. they're trying to get jobs created through a keystone pipeline. they're trying to shrink government. release the burden on the backs of the american people caused by their spending. trying to delay a bill that 55% americans don't like. what is so bad about that? what warrants that kind of language? >> can i respond? it's a good point but that rhetoric is coming from jou journalists which is worse. the hateful rhetoric that comes from people who are supposed to be objective. when somebody from "the new york times" or the "washington post" is saying this stuff, that's different, that's offensive, that's wrong. >> don't you think that's why though? it work during the playbook of the 2012 campaign. >> can i also point out

dan pfeiffer's comments are being met with a collective shrug of the shoulders. martha: like it's no big deal. >> i find it absolutely extraordinary. martha: you're very right about that that. and it feels like there's almost nothing that can't be said in some venues that will be confronted with a are you kidding me? and when i look back, steve, over all of these battles, it appears the gop has been -- again, when it comes to this issue of not, you know, funding the government rather, and they often push it to the next thing, in this case the debt ceiling. now they're saying, well, when that comes around, we're going to really get what we want. >> right. martha: it doesn't seem like they've not let the democrats get what they want. >> i actually hi the debt ceiling is a better fight for the republicans to use, better than the continuing resolution. the continuing resolution is a short-term thing. a government shutdown, i think virtually everybody agrees will probably go down to the benefit of democrats whereas the debt ceiling i think precisely because the stakes

the latest disgusting example from white house senior adviser dan pfeiffer. he likened republicans to suicide bombers. >> we are for spending and reforming tax and entitlements, what we are not for is negotiating with people with a bomb strapped to their chest. >> great to see you both. scottie, let me start with you, your reaction to being called a terrorist and arsonist because you're a tea party member. >> to quote my favorite politician of all time margaret thatcher who said she always enjoyed when people attacked her personally, it meant they had no political argument left and that we are winning. and they're sitting there calling us those names. that's what the whole administration has been, that's the name calling, childish games they play. the american people are starting to wake up and say quit the name calling and give us answers. >> doug, you have to admit, if republicans were caught saying this about democrats, holy hell would be breaking loose. >> i would say that, but i want to clarify something scotty said. the democrats won. 25 republicans in

and when harry reid and when dan pfeiffer at the white house says that the republicans are acting like terrorists that have bombs strapped to their bodies like some sort of suicide bomber that's not being in the spirit of compromise and the majority of the american people -- >> ben -- >> let me say this, though -- >> i know you are going to say the majority of the people don't want it, i get that, i'm talking about shutting down the government. obama care because you are attaching it to shutting down the government which does not make sense to most people including most republicans. hear me out here, so then why not do -- listen, ben, why not do what the president said. if you have issues with obama care, work with me, tell me what they are, i am more than willing to work with you, do not shut down the government. >> don, give me one example of when barack obama in his last five years plus in office has ever worked with republicans about obama care. >> i'm not here to defend president obama. >> i can do it. >> there are zero times when he's done that. the blair house is a great example

. >>> white house officials confirming that president obama's senior adviser dan pfeiffer has returned to work. the 37-year-old was hospitalized twice last week after suffering, quote, stroke-like symptoms. >>> and check this out. prosecutors charging rapper kanye west of misdemeanor battery after a scuffle with a photographer. his arraignment has been scheduled for october 10. >>> now to the latest battle over obamacare. the law set to go into effect in just a matter of weeks, but now republican house members say they've got to come up with a new strategy to keep that from happening by forcing democrats into critical votes that would essentially put them on the hook over whether or not to grant congress special treatment or delay the law altogether. angela mcglou and fox news political analyst joins us, also doug howe and former communications director for chris van holland. thank you both for coming on. here it is, another strategy on behalf of republicans to try to get democrats to come to terms with their beliefs, anyway. angela, some republicans believe this new strategy would act

at this point the white house is sitting back and watching all of this dan pfeiffer, he's been on twitter all afternoon sort of responding to some of the news headlines coming out of the hill. and he said in one tweet, with respect to this proposal, that the house republicans are going to be taking up in a vote tonight, he said, quote, every smart goper is shedding a tear. the white house is trying to stay away from this and probably the reason the president is playing golf this afternoon. didn't want to get too close to the hill this afternoon. >> stand by, jim. i want to talk to gloria borger now. in his weekly address president obama raised the signature health care legislation while lashing out at republicans seeking to defund it, you and wolf blitzer led the coverage here, there you are in washington. in the most recent poll conducted earlier this month 57% of americans oppose or most prop sales of the new health care law. is it wise for the president to be defending an increasingly unpopular law? >> first of all, the law has been passed. secondly when you ask people do you think you

white house senior adviser dan pfeiffer tweeted back they don't ask for time to address columnist that is follow every minute of the news. another sign for the president the barrage of questions are leer to stay. >> seems to me he has put himself in a real box. if diplomacy fails, he only really has one option. that is the least undesirable military option. >> even as he was paying tribute to the victims of the september 11th attacks, mr. obama seemed to touch on the dilemma facing him now. when to strike and when to hold back. >> let us have the wisdom to know while force is at times necessary, force alone cannot build the world we seek. >> john kerry is heading to geneva to meet with his russian counterpart to work on how to get rid of syria's chemical weapons. a state department spokeswoman says the goal is to test the seriousness at this point of the russian proposal and that spokesman went on to say that kerry and other officials from the state department would be going into those meetings with their eyes wide open. >> a lot is at stake obviously. thank you very much. the former p

dan pfeiffer isçó said like negotiating with republicans is like negotiating with somebody with a bomb strapped to theirÑi chest. what kind of rhetoric is this? can you just say this is what i want. can you work it out. it is unbelievable that just across the way we've got a high-ranking official negotiating with iran, syria and russia but we can't walk across capitol hill and negotiates with the house. >>elisabeth: there is a clear reason. it is redistribution of wealth, redistribution of care and redistribution of aggression where it doesn'tçó belong. i think the words he has chosen and the so far clearly indicate that. >>steve: you knowÑiç(pá?xd the president doesn't like the fact that there is at leastñr one television channel out there that is talking about what kind of changes will happen when this affordable care act goes into business. and that would beÑi the one you're watching right now. and i don't think the president likes us. >> if you talk to somebody who said, i don't know, i was watching fox news andÑi they said it's horrible, and you can say, you know what? do

pfeiffer, the white house senior adviser put it. our preparingt the country to the notion that there will be a government shutdown, and point the finger, the blame to the other side to make sure that they don't receive any of the political blowback themselves. host: we know what happened last night, this morning, house republicans with a handful of democrats deciding to basically delay the affordable care act, get rid of the medical device tax, and also keep the government in operation through mid-december. this is a statement from harry reid before the house passed its first vote "to be absolutely clear, the senate will reject both the one-year delay of the affordable care act and the repeal of the medical device tax. after weeks of feudal political games from a public and, we are still at square one. republicans must decide whether cr ors the senate clean four save republican government shutdown. senate democrats have shown they are willing to debate and vote on a wide range of issues, including efforts to improve the affordable c
