. >> obama care has been the law for four years. why don't they just talk about something else? >> yesterday, the republican controlled house voted to fund the government if democrats agreed to delay the health care law another year, as well as instituting other provisions republicans have not been able to pass, allowing employers to deny contraception coverage to employees. it goes against their beliefs, for example. the democrat controlled senate says no way, no how. they passed a clean government funding bill and say that's it. >> harry reid has conceded on nothing. he has said he refuses even to talk, he refuses to compromise, he refuses to budge. >> now the government lies in wait for the potential impact of this impasse, also known as a partial government shutdown. >> how dare you? how dare you? how dare you presume a failure? the fact is, the fact is this country is based on people saying they won't do things, and at the end of the day, coming together for compromise. >> of course it is, congressman issa, but to be fair, this

and we have these challenges of obama care. we need to make major progress on all three. >> it's not a take it or leave it from your end about killing obama care? >> listen, i believe it's the right policy. we have two opportunities there to do it. and i think frankly that the president when the american people make it clear in the next several weeks, he will step forward and at least delay this law. listen, this president's known for drawing lines he doesn't keep. i think there's a potentially -- >> do you ever gamble, sir? privately? >> i really don't -- no, i really don't like gambling. >> go to the track or anything? because i'm available if you want to call me afterwards. i'm ready. the president's not going to give up on obama care. congressman fattah, if you want give bookie advice here. what do you think the odds are the president of the united states will give up on the one sure thing that will get him in the history books, obama care, 40,000-some people waiting in the emergency room right now, your thoughts? >> there'

obama care is dead, dead. pass a clean bill to fund the government or shut it down. >> reporter: kind of a preview of the fight to come over the biggest of issues came a vote in the house today to cut the spending on the food stamp program spending that's risen drastically since the start of the recession to cut you want 5%, $40 billion often years and it was a strict party line vote. not a single democrat, larry, voted for that and harry reid says it will die in the senate anyway. back to you. >> lots of acrimony. now let's get right to our special guest tonight, tea party congressman tim huelskamp. you moved the leadership in your direction on the defunding of obama care. okay. question is, what did you really win? in other words, you know the bill is dead in the water in the senate. and as president obama said once again today if it ever got through he will veto it. in other words, why do it if you know it's not going to ever pass anything? >> well, larry, the senate hasn't produced anything to keep the gov

they are saying all of obama big government programs except for obama care. you have the scale here. obama care here all of the other stuff that he wants here. why is it that when it comes to compromise only republicans give. >> hang on. let me go to sasha. >> i have a question for you. republicans pass a continuing resolution that funds or debt, our obligations o-funds military ocean security, medicare runs the whole government except for obama care. how do you explain the accusation republicans are shutting down the government? >> obama care is the law of the land. that is the reality. >> that is -- it is the law of the land. it was passed by sue houses it was upheld by the supreme court. there was an election that withheld in which the republicans couldn't repeal if the americans turned that down. >> congress has a duty to thwart the president's health reform. it is not what the congress passed in 2010. >> explain. let her explain. >> this is obama care now. gone is em employer mandates. gone is the cap on out of pocket expenses. gone are over half of the

of obama care. it is very important. the american people want that. we saw the polling just today that 57% of the american people would like to see this law either repealed or delayed. they see that it's having a negative impact on their lives. so we're going to continue to push the senate to have this debate because premiums, i just heard dan say that premiums were coming down. the president promised that premiums were going to come down $2500. they're going up $7500. and people, we're told if you had a health insurance plan that you liked or doctor that you liked, you would be able to keep it. it's not true. i was home earlier this week. people are panicked as they see how this law is being implemented. so we are going to continue to push the senate to have this debate. >> one last thing, congresswoman. here's senator john mccain, here's what he said about tying obama care funding to the budget. >> i campaigned all over america for two months everywhere i could, and in every single campaign rally,

don't renew obama care. i argue what they ought to do in the house is pass bill by bill, pentagon state continuing resolutions for each department. >> and they're not going to listen to you anymore than listening to their own leaders of the house. i'm grateful for that. >> is that buchanan? >> i think it is that way. >> they are just suggesting the idea tha is really far off on the fringe, even fringier than what ted cruz is doing. i mean ted cruz, he called it a filibuster, it really wasn't. it was against the bill that he eventually voted for after taunting the house into passing this bill that would defund obama care and then announced it was going nowhere in the senate, which is true. and then they got mad at him and then he decided he would have to stand on the senate floor and prove his manhood or whatever it was. >> okay. now, more cruz on obama care. >> when you have a law, and it is killing jobs. when you have a law that is hammering small businesses. when you have a law that is forcing people into

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

obama care. even if it means shutting the government down in seven days. for over three hours, he's been rambling on about his hatred for obama care. here's how it started. >> i intend to speak in opposition to obama care. i intend to speak in support of defunding obama care until i am no longer able to stand. >> he's telling americans the president and even leading republicans, i don't care what you think. in his desperate crusade. he's sounding like a guy losing control. he actually compared the effort to defund obama care to this. >> to the civil war. time of enormous pain, anguish, blood shed in the united states. there were a lot of voices then who said the union cannot be saved. can't be done. accept defeat. >> what? did he just compare his political hostage taking to fighting slavery in america? senator, it's been a rough couple of weeks, but wow. and the bizarre comparisons continued. >> you know, with john f. kennedy told this country we're going to send a man to the moon. a lot of peopl

♪ >>> five days before enrollment begins for obama care, president obama took a stand against republicans threatening a government shutdown. the president went to maryland and began by explaining why he won't consider defunding obama care. >> in fact, for the past few years since i signed the affordable care act, a lot of you have been enjuventoying new benefits you didn't have before even if you didn't know they were coming from obama care. because the affordable care act, more than 100 million americans have gotten free preventative care. because of the affordable care act, 3 million young adults under age 26 have gained coverage by staying on their parents' plan. [ applause ] because of the affordable care act, millions of seniors on medicare have saved hundreds of dollars on their prescription medicine. 8.5 million families actually got an average of $100 back from their insurance companies. insurance scum pacompanies can longer put lifetime limits on the care your family need or discriminate on pre-existing conditions. starting january 1 they won't be able to charge women more for th

"your money" starts right now. >>> obama care. it is the biggest change to your relationship with the government in your lifetime. guess what? that government could be shutdown say midnight monday. i'm christine romans. this is "your money." there is confusion with the law, but congress is adding to it. fact, a government shutdown will not stop obama care. it is funded through taxes and fees and mandatory spending. fact, the pseudo filibuster by ted cruz, was never going to stop obama care. fact, obama care doesn't start on october 1st. this law has been on the books for more than three years. if you had a mammogram that did not cost you a dime out of pocket, that is obama care. if you have a kid on your insurance and graduated college, that is obama care. fact. with an undertaking this large, there will be surprises both positive and negative. we don't know if the affordable care act will destroy jobs or create them. we don't know if it will cost you more or less. we know the u.s. government will shutdown on monday if into deal i

>> obama would be -- this is another problem with obama. you just can't have this. you can't have a guy that is going to be president of the united states and will see food stamps come out and all of the corruption. let me just put it this way. one thing i will say. they are cutting food for kids and for active duty personnel in the military and that's all you need to know about republicans. it smells like republican and looks like republican and it is republican. they have never seen a program. >> can you just point something out. in the last five years, the food stamp program is doubled. forget the number in 10 years. five years it is double. what the republicans are proposing is $40 billion over 10 years. that's $4 billion a year. we spend $100 billion -- it is a 4% cut back from the high number. five years ago it was way down here. it cuts a little off the top so people can't by porn and liquor. >> that's what they do, the old people go out and buy porn and liquor. >> on a serious note there is a lot of fraud in the food stamp program. so, greg, don't you think

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

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

president obama is president. what else is there to say than that? we're nitpicking over words here. >> you were playing a game, once again, of trying to somehow make him not quite the president. he got into the office, you're admitting that. but he doesn't it legitimatelyh did he? just say he did. >> he's president. he's president. >> what more is there to say? >> can you repeat after me. he was edlegitimately elected president. >> president obama was elected president. >> the people elected him. >> he's a natural born citizen. >> i didn't make that judgment when he was brought in. >> everybody watching knows what you're doing. you're dodge balling. let me ask you about the united states government. what's your view about the continued resolution, funding the government beyond october 1st. do you want that to happen or not? >> absolutely. we voted to fund everything but obama care. of course we want to keep funding the government. >> the law of the land. >> and we're -- congress, gets who gets to change the law o

obama care separately. that is what the poll was about. that is what is being miscited. because it implicates democrats. >> we'll be right back, dana and leslie, we'll continue to monitor and dip in right now as a matter of fact, we'll take a look at what is going on at the senate floor with ted cruz. take a look. >> if we're standing and fighting and walking the walk, our believes should be self-evident. d.c. responds, the d.c. establishment responds, anyone who tries to tell the truth -- look, i promise you. my observations right now that there are some republicans who would like a symbolic vote and then would like to lose so they don't have a risk of it actually being defunded, i promise you those comments are not getting me invited to any cocktail parties in washington any time soon. >> all right, we'll s"!]contin. mr. cruz goes to washington. don't forget, we want to hear from you, the companion site, fox news, hannity.com, you follow the live show. you get to pick about obama care. the heritage found

, that is the defunding of obama care. and that sets up another fight in the house of representatives. not this weekend, but the following weekend, as boehner himself said. all of this has to play out within the next 11 days before the government shuts down. no more money for most of the federal government by october 1st. the start of the new fiscal year. that's where we stand in the legislation. but things are very complicated by the infighting now within the republican party. let's bring in our chief legal analyst, gloria borger. more from the house speaker john boehner throwing down the gauntlet to his senate counterparts. listen to this. >> guess what? we're having a fight here. we're going to win the fight here. it's time for them to pick up the mantel and get the job done. >> listen to this, from a few of the top democrats reacting to the republican back and forth. >> they're being guided by a few members over there who are of a certain political faith that i can't even describe who believe that chaos is the best thi

this president obama is pretty clever. do you see what he's doing get to congress to approve the attack? he told them syrian president assad supports obamacare. >> remember when he was talking about if they find out they used chemical weapons in syria, that would be crossing a red line and if they did that, they would have to go get them? now the preis saying he never used the word red line. he is saying the world used the term red line. it has taken him five years but finally he has learned how to [ bleep ]. >> if memory serves, 100,000 syrians have already died during the conflict with bashar al assad with no military intervention from the west. why now? clip august 2012. >> we have been very clear to the assad regime but also to other players on the ground that a red line for us is, we start saying a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized. >> the red line. you can't use chemical to kill your own people. you have to do it organically. america and the world wants to make sure they only use locally

obama. now, mr. putin. quote, a new opportunity to avoid military action has emerged in the past few days. the united states, russia, and all members of the international community must take advantage of the syrian government's willingness to place its chemical arsenal under international control for subsequent destruction. judging by the statements of president obama, the united states sees this as an alternative to military action, unquote. >>> question. does president putin read president obama right? are the three leaders, including bashar al assad willing to diffuse the crisis over the use of nerve gas in syria? obama, putin and al assad? >> there's a lot of self interest going on here. the president said they crossed a red line. he needs to deliver on his, his warning. putin doesn't want loose chemical weapons in that area of the world, because they could find their way into parts of russia. he has a vested interest in a stable syria with assad surviving. the only way assad survives is he gives up che

opposition to obama care. john mccain and all the other people in the republican party in the house and in the senate, fought tooth and and nail in 2009. i don't know where ted cruz was or what he was doing. he arrived at the party late. if you are going to cast aspersions on the people who fought every stretch the way. every twist and turn of this obama care along the way, you ought to be a little bit humble about it and at least recognize their honesty and sincerity in a way that he did not. >> bret: while the tactics may be be a cul-de-sac the emotion and the spirit in the conservative side was clearly ig nighted by what wasn't a filibuster. mara, conservatives were fired up. >> there is no doubt about it he would say although we have had plenty of divisions inside the republican party. maybe this is going to be a civil war. battlefield this table. yeah, the tea party, every movement group is with ted cruz. this was an open, bitter split with the main string establishment wing of the republican party. i wan

harry reid said to president obama, we don't want the obama care. i had an exchange with dick durbin, who argued we should stick the american people in coach. i think his own analogy shows what is wrong with this system, at a minimum, members of congress shouldn't be treated better than the american people, and should he be willing to compromise he would agree what the house has done to delay all of this saying it is not ready for prime time. it is not working, and we'll treat the american people at least as well as the others. >> you are talking about democrats, it is hard for them to get a word in edge wise, because there are members of your party who are so critical of what you have done and how you have done it. you have colleagues who accused you of putting on a show. congressman peter king said you're a fraud, lying to the base. george will, who has been a conservative columnist for "the washington post," who has been great, supportive of you in the past. but he wrote this past week, and i want you to respond. those people who deceive others f

obama will be embarrassed throughout the world. the bad guys overseas will see him as weak and his opponents within the u.s.a. will step up their attacks on him. and so ironically, a vicious attack in syria now has extreme global implications. russia, iran, al qaeda, and every other subversive group gain power. america, britain, france, nato and those who are supposed to be the keepers of civilization lose power. this happened once before, in the 1930s, and now it's happening again. syria is much more than poison gas and bashar assad. it is about the struggle for decency and justice in this world. and that's the memo. tonight, we will devote the entire program to syria. first up brit hume. later on williams, goldberg and rove. the factor will be right back. >> bill: if the impact segment tonight, looks very bleak for president congress. just 26 members of the house are committed to military action. 24 in the senate. that's a disaster. at this point i think the president is going to lose if the vote in congress is even held. now har

they see each other -- barak obama -- barack obama and vladimir putin's body language when they see each other is clear. relations between the two world powers have not been so tense since the cold war. since putin's returned to the kremlin in 2011, there has been a series of tit-for-tat slights. the kremlin incensed the white house when it refused to extradite former intelligence officer edward snowden, who spent weeks in the transit zone of moscow's international airport. washington want him to stand trial for espionage. instead, putin gave him a passport and granted him asylum for a year. obama retaliated by canceling a planned meeting with putin. >> the president of the united states has signaled his interest in russia is declining. if you are russia, that is not a good thing. it is clearly not a good thing for the united states either. putin is definitely offended by this decision. i think it is unlikely to send a signal to his bureaucracy that they should work better, that they should play nice with the americans. >> and this toughness has also been apparent in efforts of the

i supported repealing obama care and defunding and delaying obama care. the president did that in major ways already and supported common sense fixes, as well. i supported moving from a 30-hour to a 40-hour full-time equivalent so people don't lose their job or lose hours on the job. i'm willing to do whatever we can to protect people from the failings in this law. >> congresswoman lee, i want to switch gears and a question to you. one of the other crowning achievements we saw this week with the gop was the vote about snap. taking away snap provisions for children. the argument that we have heard time and again is waste, fraud and abuse. and yet, we're talking about $40 million which is going to have a massive impact on very -- on families. yet, if we're looking for places where there are waste, fraud and abuse, how about iraq and afghanistan? or how about canceled weapons programs? what is the obsession with focusing on taking away these programs that we know are effective and actually helping people get out of poverty rather than saying, hey, let's look

why is president obama doing this? the white house has to step out and explain exactly what this is going to do for the middle class? and i would challenge democrats across america don't be going home to your districts talking about how you're supporting the middle class and the middle class is the survival to our economic engine in this country if you furnish and you vote for something like this. you need to explain democrats -- you know the republicans are going to be for the corporatists but if the democrats are the progressive movement need to be on the same page on this one. if you vote for this, you will be gutting the middle class. and if i'm wrong on this, then you need to step out as a lawmaker, number one, question the lack of transparency on this and number two, explain to us the american people the wage earners, explain to the american producer out on the land with ranchers and farmers how this is just going to be the catch-all for them. it won't be. that's why they're not talking about it. and it was very

very close to obama on syria and iran. >> very close to obama on syria and iran, but at the very tail end of the speech he has pulled out what seems to be a major surprise here. he said the united nations must be able to act, and in order for it to do so he calls for some sort of an agreement that is quite vague so that there is a collective renunciation of the right to veto, such as in cases like syria. this came at the very end. i have never heard anything like this before, and actually we get more details and clarifications as the hours go by. that is what he said. i do not know, he did not go into how this would work out, but it is a major change, certainly, from french policy, in the sense that france has always guarded its ego power very carefully -- veto power in the security council very carefully. we will have to see later on what exactly this means. otherwise, very close to obama on. -- on syria, saying the text must include the famous chapter seven that allows military action to be taken so that the security council must be able to deal with the issue of chemical weapons in

is this obama's fault or is this part of the nsa legacy that obama has to deal with? >> i think it's a lot of the nsa legacy that obama has to deal with. i mean, he tried very, very hard to smooth things over with her. he sent state diplomats over to try to convince her to come, spoke with her on the phone for 20 minutes. they both called it a mutual decision. it's kind of like when people break up and they say it was mutual but you know somebody dumbed the other one. >> nsa did the same thing to mexico? maybe brazil is jealous. it's an honor to be wire tapped by the nsa. >> she said it's one thing to spy on other state governments, but to spy on the oil company, that's for economic advantage. but the two are very closely linked. >> in addition, we've had russia defy the president a couple times, first over edward snowden and then over syria. joining me now is keith boykin and still with us is ann coulter. is this about the nsa or about obama? >> i think michelle is right, it's about the nsa, which started this program under george w. bush. >> with the vote of congres

obama came to him on bended knee. he said we will give up our missile defenses in europe if you work with us on iran. week, russians announced they would provide sophisticated mobile air defenses to the ran and the second nuclear reactor. he got the cooperation on iran. he got nothing on syria, nothing on northern europe. it is a debacle. with looks at this guy contempt. >> i have news for you. newton has contempt for all of hasall the time -- putin contempt for all of us, all the time. if there were a republican president, he would be doing the same thing. the op-ed shows me that his own status is in jeopardy. back on capitol hill, the debt limit ceiling debate looms. >> we have 20 days between now fewseptember 30, just a weeks. >> senator ted cruz. on the house side, john boehner and eric cantor having trouble keeping their troops in line. where is this going? is hard to tell, because for the be over a cliff gop. i admire the passion and sincerity of those who do not want to pass a budget unless you get rid of obama

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

boehner said, obama care is over. now he's out there with the tea party line on obama care. he's getting drug along. there's a difference. we don't have anybody to negotiate with. >> hold on, i know at 6:30 you have a lot going on, i want to make viewer stick around for that. good thought from you, newt gingrich and jones, 6:30, "crossfire". >>> jeanne moos gives us her take on the looming shutdown next. also at the top of the hour, a "the situation room" special report shutdown countdown. the republican senator ted cruz, he'll join us live. i want peacocks. peacocks? walking the grounds. in tuscany.

president obama's strategy is simple. he wants to get as many americans as possible addicted to subsidies, addicted to the sugar because he knows in modern times, no major entitlement has been implemented and unwound. >> gets as many people signed up to the exchanges as possible. it makes it all that much more difficult to take it away from them. >> that's exactly right. >> president obama also talked about opposition to the law in red states and told the crowd about the new version of keep your government hands off my medicare. >> there are a couple of states. arkansas, a good example, kentucky, another good example, idaho, interesting example. these are states where, i just got beaten, i mean, you know, i do not have a big constituency in these states. well, i take that back. you know what, 40% still a lot of people. i am losing by 20% in these states. but the governors were still able to say we are going to set up our own state exchanges. their own market places. and -- each state is just -- using -- their own name for

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 joan uin 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. walking the grounds. in tuscany.

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

now, the senate says no, obama says no, obama care starts tomorrow. it's already funded. they can't do anything about that. the question i think, it is about obama care, but it's really about keeping the government open or closed. the other thing i think when he talks about, he sent a message out about the debt ceiling. we're still 17 days away from the debt ceiling. >> his last line was, he said we should never keep -- put the full faith and credit of the united states at risk. jedi ya, your thoughts on president obama's speech? >> the line that i love is when he talks about the shutdown and he says it's a real economic impact on real people. yes, guess what, so is obama care. that's what this whole fight is about. the never economic impact on small businesses shifting workers from full-time to part-time status because of obama care. when the right has something to say, it's presented as a ideological battle. when the left has something to say, it's always presented as a tangible practical battle. that's simply not true. we're talking about policy. we're talking about ba

don't shut the government down over obama care. the debt ceiling is where you want to have the fight. they do this over and over and over again. in order to live through tomorrow and get through the crisis this a create a big one down the road. i can't say how much more serious it is. you have boehner, macarthur, trying to got through the current moment. creating a dangerous crisis in, three, four, weeks. that is a worrying development. >> thank you beth for joining me tonight. >> thank you. >> coming up. rand paul rewrites rand paul. and proves why america need steven colbert. and when it comes to talking about guns in political campaigns, progressives can probably learn something from people who love guns. 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 you

obama care? your thoughts. >> there's not a person in the country except for people who are drinking this tea party tea who believes that the president is going to walk away from obama care. it's not going to happen. 5.5 million people in my state with pre-existing conditions are going to get insurance and get it not at an increased rate come october 1. they're not going to have any lifetime limits anymore or annual limits. i mean, this is a very important program. and only thing i can say is that republicans have been on the wrong side of history. there's been team that wants more education, more health care, more jobs. and there's another team that wants to beat up on the president. we saw this with clinton. we see it with obama. anything the president's for, they're against. >> i think that's true with mr. messer. but let me ask you this. if you look back at the history and we all know the history, social security passed under roosevelt. it was opposed by the republican party. and since then t

the issue is obama care. and defunding obama care and i think if they miss the debt ceiling deadline that that is politically and financially really a bad thing. i don't know if it's a cat -- catastrophe but it's very bad. >> and government spending has grown to a huge level, and there are hundreds of programs throughout the government that should be reduced in their funding and probably eliminated. they're left over from the great society, even from the great depression. and there's no process right now in washington to clean house. so that -- i understand the urgency and the frustration that the fiscal conservatives are putting forward. and the burden really needs to be on omb and on the president to come up with a reduction. the whole issue here is how to restrain this massive government beast that keeps soaking up all the taxpayer dollars and then some. the debt keeps growing and growing. >> as you know recently, spending rates have come down. revenue rates have come up. a much lower deficit. >> they're s
