[ laughter ] your line is, yes, obamacare is a rear guard assault on the american values that we hold dear. son i and my muslim overlords will control the entire -- that's your line. say it. [cheers and applause] of course -- fox -- fox has been all over obama's misdirection juju from the getgo. >> the president found time to make a speech highlighting his stances on drone strikes, an obvious attempt to distraction the american people from what is really important the benghazi coverup. >> he used the speech to distract us from the

you're in kentucky and arkansas, obama and obamacare are not that popular. grimes is really trying to turn this into a campaign about mitch mcconnell and about the republicans and they being the force of gridlock and blocking things in washington. you're going to see a lot of these candidates focusing very negative on their republican, trying to turn the election into a referendum on the gop, as well as a referendum on obama and obamacare. >> i think you're seeing an echo of that, kate. perry's talking, of course, about kentucky and what mcconnell is doing. rand paul, of course, another outsized name from kentucky. take a listen to what he said. it speaks to perry's argument here that some republicans are concerned about the attacks on the party and the idea that you can't win on attacking the aca alone, and they are talking about inclusion. take a listen. >> when we present our message, if we want a bigger crowd and win politically, our message has to be a happy message, one of optimism, one of inclusiveness, one of growth, one of a message that actually br

and obamacare, do voters want to send a democrat to washington? >> emily, i want your thoughts on that. that's partly a political argument, separate from policy, that inequality or ladders of opportunity is just a tougher thing to sell. >> look, but i think this is real people's lives. they do want to send a message to washington and overwhelmingly we see the message people want to send are to the congressional republicans. the republicans took a huge hit with the american people when they held the government hostage with the government shutdown over the debt ceiling. this is coming back up and the republicans are indicating they want to do it all over again. when polled, 54% of people say they would hold the congressional republicans responsible for not raising the debt ceiling and only 13% said they would point to both sides. so they want to send a message. it's the congressional republicans they are going to send it to. >> i do think when it comes to that plot line, a lot of americans have said they don't want to see a sequel to that. >> look a

the cbo, congressional budget office, released its numbers on obama obamacare, on the budget, on the u.s. economy. john harwood is joining me. good evening, john. >> let me run through the cbo. the budget will be less than projected. that's around 3% of gdp and will remain 3% of gdp through the end of obama's presidency, better than the 10%. the bad news is more important and the bad news is economic growth is projected by the cbo to be less over the next ten years, perhaps a growth rate of 2.6% over the next ten years. that's .3% lower than it projected a year ago. now, the confusing news is it has to do with obamacare. the estimates of the effects on the labor market were that there will be the equivalent of two million fewer workers as a result of obamacare. but if you unpack that, you can see that the reason they say is almost entirely because workers with benefits under obamacare will choose to work less. now, in some ways that's a good thing. people have more choices. on the other hand, in macroeconomic terms, fewer workers means fewer growth. highlighted in the cbo study and a

and even people who have enrolled in the healthcare law, they still complain about obama, obamacare and think it might go away soon and people talk about the prices going up. so, right now it's an issue where mcconnell is still talking about it. mcconnell talks about he wants to repeal the lieu. if you ask grimes about it, she's often looking to change the subject. mcconnell is talking about obamacare and repeal a lot still here. >> and the conservative challenger in mitch mcconnell, it seems as if they really -- the mcconnell people drew some blood with finding this comment that bevin made about supporting the t.a.r.p., supporting the infamous bailout of 2008 when he was an investor. >> reporter: that's taken the bevin campaign -- i was there, talking to their staff here. they thought they were gaining momentum. that definitely set them back some. bevin is basically polling in the 20s right now. the primary is not till may. there's room for him to gain. the problem right now is he is undefined. most republicans in kentucky don't know much about him. mcconnell is doing a better job

of course, republicans are going to fall back by saying obama, obama, obama, obamacare, obamacare, obamacare in states like kentucky and that might end up getting them the majority in the senate come 2014. >> you have governor jindal doubling down, tripling down, we lost count now on "morning joe," his opposition to raising the minimum wage. what is the polling showing here at least early on regarding where people stand? >> the polling shows it's very popular, and even half of republicans support it, but whether it's half of republicans in congress is a whole another matter, but that could be something we see down the line, if we have some type of compromise with democrats, get it off the table where you don't have the alison grimes the world is talking about, that would be a strategic move like we saw newt gingrich make in 1996 when he and bill clinton signed the minimum wage raise increase in the law. >> thank you very much. quick first read, but we greatly appreciate it. >>> the green is starting to roll in from colorado's marijuana businesses and the tax revenue is so good that one count

it is in the republicans' interest to make it a national referendum on obama and obamacare, and a lot of issues they have with obama. by the way, i agree with tucker, that is what usually drives the mid-term election. people who have a grievance that vote. the voters who tend to turn out in presidential cycles is the only election they vote in. they don't have much interest in these mid-term electionsme. and they tend to fall off. those tend to be democrats. this is going to be a difficult environment for democrats. look, we had two cycles. i remember last cycle, african-americans and hispanics, and young people were not as excited about obama the second time around. they were not going to turn out. they did. >> that was before the bad stuff when obamacare started to kick in, though, i mean, tucker, they kept away the bad stuff until after the presidential election and now we're living with it. >> they're going to try to do in 14, rather than 12, scare the heck out of the democratic base. you're going to watch a concerted effort from the white house to turn the conversation from obama

but the mad facts, are obama. >> joe, we've seen people struggle to find their message on obamacare. the ones who voted for it seem to be on board trying to get away from the voter, explain the voter. here is one, jean, from new hampshire, talking about if you can keep your doctor, your plan, well, here is her new take on it. >> at least for people who are willing to pay more that they have that option of going to their doctor and hospital, no matter what their insurer does. >> i mean, that can't be the new line, can it? >> no, look, i think what most democrats are going to do is say look, they're going to work to improve it. and try to localize the rates. they don't want this race to be national. it is in the republicans' interest to make it a national referendum on obama and obamacare, and a lot of issues they have with obama. by the way, that usually works. i agree with tucker. that is usually what dreamliners the midterm election. it is usually people who have a grievance that vote. people who are happy -- the voters that tend to turn out in presidential cycles is the only electi

originally the obama administration decides success with obamacare like this. >> i think success looks like at least 7 million people signing up by the end of march. >> now the president is touting a different number that is a few million shoirt. which one is it? >> joe biden has good news for all working women thanks to the affordable care act/obamacare. >> if you leave you lose your health insurance. now you will be able to make an independent choice. >> make an independent choice to lose your job. >> it wasn't a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow instead one couple got lucky in their own backyard. the discovery you will find in the back of your yard.

president obama made good on that pledge when he recently re-wrote the obamacare law designed to affect the key mandate. critics argue he did it to help the democrats avoid paying a bigger political price in the 2014 mid-terms. but motive doesn't really matter. a deadline was clearly written in the law. it was written, the employer mandate shall kick in. and the president ordered the country to ignore it on his own without congressional approval or any legislative review. now, this is not the first time. in fact our research team says this is the 28th major change to obamacare that was simply ordered by the white house. and it is not just health care. the president recently declared a hike in the minimum wage for some federal workers. he unilaterally re-wrote the immigration law, very contentious issue, repeated through in recent years. and the white house is facing increasing challenge for appointments to the national labor relations board. he claimed congress was not necessarily in recess. now, the claim is growing increasingly loud. listen to this. >> we have an increasingly lawless

spoke for 30 minutes mentioned neither barack obama or obamacare. bill clinton can make a difference maybe on the margins, he can come in and fire up blue dog democrats, but he is not going to be able to change reality. and the reality is republicans -- republican ad makers, republican strategists are doing everything they can to tie democratic candidates in any possible way to obamacare. many of them voted for it it bill clinton can say whatever he wants. that's not going to change the reality of obamacare. >> "yes" or "no," hillary run? >> slight yes. >> she is running unless something happens to her health. >> unequivocal yes. >> that's it for the panel. stay tuned for international sports trash talk. coach of the dutch speed skating team offered this rationale. >> do you do you think that that was one of the reasons why the americans didn't do well, the suit? >> the suit was one of the reasons but not because it was bad. just because they believed it was bad. for skating you have to believe in yourself like americans always do. americans always

the text of obamacare specifically prohibits what obama is doing. so when you make jokes about obama having to leave office in 2016, why? >> i mean, they are actually floating these things out here, joe. >> look, and then in the next breath they want to impeach him. so they don't think he is going to leave. and then they want to impeach him. let me tell you. to compare what obama is doing to the nazis is an insult to those who survived that era. it is an absolute insult. and they are the ones who ought to -- first of all, you cannot compare what nazi germany did to people of that era to what is going on today. so if it wasn't so stupid and crazy it is an absolute insult to those who survived nazi germany. >> no doubt about it. >> there is no doubt about it. you mentioned impeachment. they are dealing with the word of impeachment. there are 15 members of congress that have floated outidea -- out the idea of impeachment. the leader of the republican party, rush limbaugh doesn't think the president can be impeached. listen to his reasoning. >> you can'

president obama made good on that pledge when he recently re-wrote the obamacare law in order to delay a key mandate affecting millions of workers. he says it was done to smooth the transition of the law's implementation. critics argue he did it to help the democrats avoid paying a bigger political price in the 2014 mid-terms. but motive doesn't really matter. a deadline was clearly written in the law. it was written "it shall happen, the employer mandate shall kick in." and the president ordered the country to ignore it on his own without congressional approval or any legislative review. now, this is not the first time. in fact our research team says this is the 28th major change to obamacare that was simply ordered by the white house. and it is not just health care. the president recently declared a hike in the minimum wage for some federal workers. he unilaterally re-wrote the immigration law, very contentious issue, repeated in recent years. and the white house is facing increasing challenge for appointments to the national labor relations board without the required congressional r

the democrats are trying to take the focus away from barack obama kaz. obamacare. it's interesting to point out he ran ads last year against the keystone pipeline, and the ads were so dishonest the "washington "washington post" fact checkers said these were below the lowest campaign ads. so honesty is not one of the beg campaigns. >> see you soon. >>> from the focus on|)f÷ democs in 2014 to too much focus on one democrat in 2016. ed henry is at the white house story. ed? story. >> this all kicked off with david axlerod telling the "new york times" today he is worried, kind of finding a wakeup call, if you will, to fellow democrats that he is deeply concerned they're focused too much on the 2016 presidential race, not enough on these mid-term elections where not just the house but the senate is up for grads. washington, the republicans are likely to hold control of the house and the senate could flip from democrats to republicans.k+ that would have massive implications. david axlerod never mentioned hillary clinton but we spoke to other democratic strategists today

when obama launched obamacare in 2009, he explained the moral imperative was because there were 30 million uninsured americans. so here we're going to go through a complete revolution of one sixth of the u.s. economy, the dislocation of doctors, hospitals, patients, and plans everywhere. including insurers in order to achieve a result in a decade where we have essentially the same number of uninsured. so what was this all about? and i think on these numbers, what we have heard here is exactly right. we know that up to now, the administration has been fudging its numbers, inflating them, and giving them in the best light. they tell us, these people are enrolled. that is not so. enrolled means paid up. all we know, and they have to admit it in the fine print, it means selected a plan, ie, you have a plan in your shopping cart, but you haven't checked out yet. and second, we don't know what the spread is. if it remains only a quarter of the young and the healthy, that's ruinous. that means the health insurers are going to lose a fortune on the exchanges and that means the government is going

report on obamacare will cost 2 million jobs. they'll say these guys are job killing liberals and that will kill it. >> and they'll be right. john, the cbo attempts to go down the middle here. 500,000 jobs lost. the other thing it points out is only about 19% of the people that would be helped by this are actually in poor households. it has a huge downside. it's poorly targeted. if juan to do something create i have to get a by par san consensus, help low income workers. don't destroy jobs at the same time. >> by keeping the had minimum wage low we're subsidizing the big employers, mcdonalds and walmarts. they encourage their people to call and find out how they can get government assistance is. >> the fist running on the economic ladder, you are pulling that away from people in an economy where wave jobs crisis already. >> every small marginal group, their profit margins are tiny. this will dump them right out of business. >> we have raised the minimum wage for years periodically. it's less now than it would be if it had kept up

it's in the republican's interest to make it a national referendum on obama and obamacare and a lot of issues they have with obama. by the way, that usually works. i agree with you can iter. that's usually what drives a midterm election, people who have a grievance who vote. people who are happy or aren't -- the voters that tend to turn out in presidentials is the only election they vote in, they don't have much interest in these midterm elections and they tend to fall off. those tend to be democrats. so this is going to be a difficult environment for democrats. but like i said, look, we've had two cycles. i remember last cycle, african-americans and hispanics weren't as excited and young people weren't as excited about obama. the second time around they weren't going to turn out. they did. the democratic party -- >> that was before the bad stuff on obamacare started to kick in. tucker, they intentionally kept the bad stuff until after the presidential election and now we're lifving with it. >> they did but they are going to try to do in 2014 what they did in '12 which is scare the dem

when i used to ask people if they know what obamacare was, they would say, sure. obama cares. now they know it's going to cost them some money, and obama doesn't care so much. it's hurting the exact people employers -- i'm not -- i want to make it clear i'm not, but employers are shrinking people down. obviously, the budget office has just said 2.5 million people over the next 10 years are going to leave full-time employment and go to part-time because they can now get the entitlement of health care, and that retards the economy, it retards gdp, retards the growth of it. i'm concerned about america. not republican, not democrat, about all the people that he claims, and he claims he's a great orator, he's just not a performer. >> you say you have 4,000 employees in applebee's. how does that affect them? as an employer, let's talk about you first. do you have to now swear you're not making any business decisions based on the need to give them obamacare or the health care? >> you know, judge, that's a good question. the problem is that it's still unfolding. nobody really knows wh

call it obamacare, the health care has high markings. a lot of people in kentucky and arkansas have health care that didn't have it before. >> you have your ads up now. we will have our ads up later. >> i can't way to see them. >> it will be aamazing. in every home in america there will be a dinner guest. and that dinner guest is probably a mother surviving cancer and because of obamacare she is not going to be dead. how are you guys going to -- >> not an individual market that did not have her health insurance disrupted by the president's false promises. >> you guys are going to be trying to play those kinds of games. when you are looking in the face of somebody who is alive and says had it not been for obamacare i wouldn't be here today. >> he is not happy. he knows this stuff really well. this is a pretty bad bill with nice provisions in it. it is hurting a lot of people in it. the latest news, the 2.5 million job lead with the irs making sure you don't fire down after you, is this the latest piece of bad news. this is a negligent pie

president obama moved to again unilaterally delay parts of obamacare, ignoring the law. and unfortunately, the impact is that we have increased uncertainty. >> well, this is the 27th delay for obamacare. we covered it yesterday, and the president talked about it today in that news conference with frien french president francois hollande. this is the delay for employers of 50 to 99 employees. the small business administration estimates this could affect refly 7.9 million. the president insisted it only affects a small sliver of companies. what about all this and what was said today? let's bring in steve hayes, kirsten powers, usa today columnist and syndicating columnist charles krauthammer, author of the best selling book "things that matter." back with the panel. steve, thoughts on this, what the president said. >> the reality is that it's not the numbers of people affected. it's the fact that this is the 27th delay, and the president would sort of with a shrug of his shoulders pretends that this is just an administrative tweaking of the law when it's in fact a changing

obamacare and they haven't been through this before. they might think of a select a plan that's the last thing you need to do. it's not all police the consumer's fault. when healthcare.gov stumbled out of the gate they left the backend in development. so a lot of the information that was going from healthcare.gov to the insurers to notify them who was signing up never got there or got bad information so there has been a delay in insurers billing these consumers. it's not always the consumer's fault. sometimes they're still waiting in the bill. >> host: how do you know the insurer has gotten through all the steps the need to be covered? >> guest: you will get an insurance car in the mail. they are encouraging people to call their insurer to to make sure that but if you have paid your premium you likely have health care but it's good to call your insurer to doublecheck. >> host: arts guest is jonathan easley health care reporter for the hill. if you'd like to join the conversation conversation republicans 2025853881 and for democrats 2025

>> well, apparently the republicans are tired of bashing obama on obamacare, and now they're looking to syria to do it. there are no viable options for the united states in syria. it's not a situation that the u.s. has screwed up particularly. it's a situation where the u.s. has no good options whatsoever. the u.s. began to pursue the open option that it felt was feasible, albeit a chance of it actually being implemented. that was negotiations between the two sides. >> let's go off of what senator mccain is suggesting. he's suggesting arming the free syrian army to a greater degree than what is going on and establishing a free zone, i don't know what that is, and then sort of better arming and equipping the so-called vetted opposition. he sees these as viable options. what about you? >> they're not viable options. the opposition is getting tons of weapons now if not from the united states, then through saudi arabia and through qatar. that's not their problem. the problem is that they're hapless, they're divided on strategy and divided on what they want to do. we're encouraging them t

the obama administration trying to put a positive spin on the obamacare disaster. ining us now is john fund. good to have you both here. >> to be very clear i think they only have one strategy. if i was running, i was focused on other things. there are 42 americans that don't have coverage that can finally afford it. 42 million americans. lou: lou: johnfun, the idea of this that we are looking at they are accused of shutting down the government wanting to. do the republicans over the democrats in the house a debt? >> well, clearly if the democrats have gone back to congress after the first surfaced and said we will work with you and fix them, i think the republicans would've had their thunderstorm from them. there would be an uproar. lou: the president has said to the american people that he is going to go around and i can't find an instance ihistory where a president has said that they would defy the form of government for his own purpose. >> the only wanted it was richard nixon. 55% said we could put up that fox poll. and i take you point about this engagement on

and on obamacare. prepresident obama pushed back against suggestions he should have fired health and human services secretary kathleen sebelius because she botched web site roll out. >> my main priority right now is making sure it delivers for the american people. >> i am a taxpayer, i am paying kathleen seb can be's salary sebelius salary, and she screwed up, and you are not holding her, counaccountable. >> president got in quite a few football arks ark luges, bill o'reilly will be airing part 2 of his interview tonight on the factor. >> a new report shows thousands of people who want to correct errors that occurred when they tried to sign up, they still can't do it internal government reporting shows 22,000 people have filed appeals to try to get the errors corrected but their calls their letters their e-mails their pleadings to our federal government have gone unanswered. the complaints range from being denied coverage to being overcharged or steered into the wrong program. at the us house gey carne

lou: president obama guilty of gross exaggeration on obamacare, perhaps i should say, again. democratic governors last nig, the president said that quote, well over 10 million americans are benefiting from obama care coverage. fact-checkers however, blasting the administration for weeks now for including those who wouldd3 have signed up for medicaid, regardless of obamacare and those who had to sign up because thospls were canled. t, mr. obama repeated number again last night, not without consequence. obamacare also by the way, tarnishing health and hewlett-packard services secretary kattleen sebelius in her home state. her favorability rating in her home state of kansas down to 38%. well a i told you here last night, the fcc planng to lach a controversial study as it put it of newsrooms across the country to study perceived station bias as they put it among other things. the stu as of today has been put on hld following a flood of freedom of the press complaints from lawmakers, media groups and he an fcc commissioner. we'll talk with him, the man who helped put an end to tha
