♪ ♪ ♪ >> we have had some problems with the website last month. >> yes, we have had some problems to the situation has been dire. >> i understand why folks are frustrated. >> i'm not happy about that. >> we always knew that this would be harsh. >> enough is enough. neil: work with me and think quick. what do president obama and rob ford have in common? what if i told you that only one of them is already addressing

the situation? welcome, i am neil cavuto. barack obama and rob ford could not look more different. the toronto mayor is not smooth and thin like barack obama, but they have serious crises on their hands. i hate to break it to the white house. the mayor seems to be acting more quickly, getting ahead and here is why. he says that he is now getting professional help for his drinking problem and the president just punted on his healthcare problem in the mayor realizes that he has to look like he's doing something now and the president has dropped this insurance mess for a year now. the mayor still they tossed out, but he's not going without a fight. the president can be tossed out, but he's not showing much fight because the mayor is giving it all he has got. the president is hoping the time will save the day.

in the mayor is on the brink because he is just a mess. his signature achievement is a mess. the mayor admitted it, the president has not. before you laugh off this guy, do remember to take a look at the smartest guys in the room going south. this managing editor says these guys have a lot in common and a lot of differences. but i will say that we are having more fun then it cuts to the core. in the mayor thinks he's making a better effort. >> yes, just look at the poll numbers. you have the mayor of toronto, he has actually gone up five points since the time he first admitted that he was doing

crack. neil: do you think that maybe the president wore a jersey, that might help? >> i don't know. he's got hollywood on his side all the time. but it hasn't helped him much. because obama has dipped to 39% is this disaster has been rolling out and it has not been good for him and i think that it represents for voters in the united states and toronto, i think voters really do care about how the guide governance. rob ford is, you know, he's led tax cuts and whether the propelling job growth, fastest job growth areas in the whole part of canada. in the united states obama is overseeing a disastrous health care law. a candidate from the poll numbers really care about how you govern and not necessarily about your personal life. although that does play a role. neil: i'm wondering what it says with a reserve of goodwill you could have and whether you blow

it or it goes away to what he can keep it and build upon it. the conventional argument is that this president is blowing away because the mayor, there might be more that he can drop or painful revelations that are still to come, but it seems that he's trying to get us out of it and say, yeah, i smoke crack him i did this and i come i did a lot of stupid things. and then he might just get out of it. at the present not so much. >> not so much. his personal life is an unmitigated disaster and yes. the president obama, if he's not careful, he will have an unmitigated disaster because of obamacare in this rollout has been horrendous and obama has look like nothing but a bystander and i think he didn't know how he got to the place that he was. and he realizes this can really hurt and all he did is set back

a year and it doesn't fix obamacare. and it could be his legacy is. neil: very good. thank you so much. and it may not even be legal. tim huelskamp will have more on that. it's one thing to try to put the genie back in the bottle. but it might be illegal to do so and that is what a lot of these insurance companies are going to go into. a lot of these states have been saying that hey can't do what you want to do, mr. president. what do you say? >> the president said this is the law of the land. yesterday another executive action trying to undo his signature health care law and we know that. and i think that we have made it worse. we are spending various

provisions and it's very troubling and that is why he has democrats defecting and they don't like the law and are begging him to do something. but i don't think most of what he's doing is even constitutional. >> certainly among republicans and others, letting americans keep their health insurance, he says that that is something that he wants to do and there are differences in how you're approaching it. how do you describe the difference? >> change in leslation, i don't it will eventually go anywhere. what we have 39 democrats, they are abandoning obamacare. they are sending shivers down their spines. neil: the house is letting people keep whatever plans they

have rather than one-year extension. >> there is only one way to do that and that is the full repeal and we have introduced alternative and we have introduced this health care reform act, part of the things we need to do to make sure that every american is making a choice about their health care plans rather than the president of the united states. neil: we will watch it as this saga unfolds. thank you. now, that's what i was saying about whether you could willy-nilly go back and change the law and whether that's even legal. forget about whether states can make this happen. you have insurance commissioners are saying that they can't even try to make it happen.

jim donnellan on how companies can deal with this. it's easier said than done. so once this has been enactedd many insurance companies have systems in place to move what the law says they should have and you can't undo that. >> no question about that. we have been working for the past three years after the passage of the affordable care act to adapt our state laws and processes on the regulations of insurance and accommodating the requirements. all this is interconnected with the other parts. neil: what does that mean? >> go ahead? neil: what does that mean that you can't revise it or do you jump the line and start over? >> well, i'm not a policymaker, and regulator nutso we do and

the rest is appointed by her governor. we regulate, we don't make policy. and we implement that and have been doing that at the state level for 100 years to the recent recession and very well as regulators of the insurance industry. but up to this point, the president is proposing a last-minute change in the system in the system is interconnected and to do that, raising the question of solvency issues are first accountability in order to protect consumers, which is what we we're there to do, our first responsibility is to make sure that the companies that they buy their coverage from a salvaged and to change the rules after you are embedded into the law and input into the process, guaranteed issue, higher rates for other groups, suppressed rates for other groups, it

threatens the solvency of the system by doing so. and he threatened the cost to those who are buying insurance going forward. and that last-minute change is really troubling problem for regulators in every state all across the nation. >> that's amazing. i always forget that adopted you guys. >> that is exactly right. >> yes, sir. thank you so much. you got a problem. neil: okay, in the meantime, i think that rand paul just zehnder chris christie, something he did today that is raising a lot of eyebrows and not the least of which a prominent governor in the garden

only privatize the government service. and hopefully this will be replicated all over the united states. >> the qstion is that though they get back to taxpayers or the money they are saving on a product? >> it was a project when we went in with losing $900,000 per year. and we were quickly and we privatize that only are saving the taxpayers $600,000 a year and they are still being protected and we still do the fuel testing for the state of kentucky and we are saving the taxpayers a lot of money.

neil: heading washington, with the products. they never really get back to the folks. >> two thirds have been spent were utilized in new jersey. you want to weigh in on that? >> i think there are ways you can help people and we have had a need for it help before. i've advocated that if you spend some extra money, that you think it will cut somewhere else and actually on the bill that would shake all government employees and i will give you a bonus if

you find savings or a government and i think there's a lot of good ideas that we can utilize that will save the taxpayer millions if not billions of dollars. the. neil: what you make of this that was created at the time. >> i think it was an invalid argument at the time and the reason why we should spend money prudently. even for good causes. so i'd say that money that we were spending overseas and we are not against that. but when we cut some of the money that we spend in pakistan. >> there are conservative ways to spend money.

>> you know, i think that giving my money now is not really the best attitude. there was a tragedy. and the fact that most of the money hasn't been spent argues for the money giving ut a little bit at a time and maybe that money should have been offset with spending cuts and building things overseas. >> irate because. >> and that candidate is challenging with the economy for the republicans. when are you in a pickle there? i mean, what do you think of that? who do you support? >> well, i think that everybody gets to make their own decision. and every voter well.
