spinet the president's foreign policy has a negative effect on his approval rating.ob i l lou dobbs. hello. a new nbc wall street journal poll shows the president's job approval of 43%. 1.above his low in october. 54 percent say they disapprove as the all-time high and for the first time half of those surveyed now view obamacare as a bad idea. but asking what should shape their view almost 60 percent

cited the health care law as a principal factor and to show the the illustration is nowhere near in rollingroug 7 million americans to the web site just under 365,000 people have signed up in the first two months just one less than one-third of the th 1.2 billion that was originally projected by the end of last month. while 365,000 have bought private insurance it would be double that. they would be eligible to join medicaid. or again unrolled on the 44 applicants through the end of last month. hhs secretary sebelius appeared before congress for only the second time sincered the debut in october and

testified energy and commerce committee called for the investigation of her very own web sites in mecca have passed our inspector general to investigate thee. development including acquisition and overall management and performance and payment of contractors speaker boehner blasted theco budget deal announced by senator murray and joiningr is now a member of the leadership of the chairmanood of that house judiciaryl committee and it is great to have you with usthe. >> do you support of the new deal? right now about $80 billion?

so sat have expressed about what needs to be done but we really need to place of blame on the president who will not do reid entitlementre reform and a senate that will not do an entitlement reform we cannot get them to wi you do it without tax increases and fate of the masked the problems with out of control spending. i would prefer to have the vote to extend the current levels for the rest of thet of year and many conservativeye groups would as well butt unfortunately we don't haveve to hundred 18 votes son is in a difficult position as he has to come up with something t it is a very small step as a way to see we start the

process with so little bit of entitlement reform to cut more than we have with usth sequestration area and this she deserves careful consideration by day house. lou: i think the ideal itself looks like short cotton and with regular order with the senate in the house that would be for moderate republicanse wouldu you agree? >> the immediate result during this time go all-out us to get the appropriationsh bill separately not only toa allow individual members tounit cut spending programs but use that jews stop searching and programs by cutting off

funding altogether. by my congressional district my constituents are concerned about the mandate of chesapeake bay mandate. $16 billion cost to virginia with no cost benefit analysis and no way to stop it. a so we can do those types of things one of many examples like that.n lou: we have a lot of ha subjects to get to if we may o quickly.y k secretary sebelius calls for the investigation of herself does that satisfy you or are you astonished at her brazenness to make such a proposal? >> i think secretary sebelius would serve us all well if she would step down and the president would appoint somebody who

understands how to unwind the mass called obamacare. says i will not hold my breath but the inspector general should continue theul investigation of what goes on there. and that is very important. the same thing with the dealings now to be promoted to a beating position of department of homeland security with this cloud over him is the example ofmpou the administration god are right now of senate willing toar throw theird power by requiring they send people to get bipartisan support before they serve as the opposition before the nuclear option used to weeks ago. lou: speaker boehner hires said 82 senator mccain and

during the kennedy mccain amnesty legislation and a lot of people are concerned and where do we stand as we witness the speaker have his way to do push for the g8t amnesty version of immigration and reformist said of the regular orderoach approach to deal with tough issue we're you have had the ship over six months. >> yes. lea they have been working withn us very closely includingin speaker brainer who was helpful one month ago to make it absolutely clear that not only will we not take up the senate g8 amnesty bill but not even in conference with that after redo our work with us step-by-step reform to do legal immigration reform then of legal status not a

lou: my next guest one of

the most influentiallu commentators of our time.nti charles krauthamer the most influential of our time in his newest book is a personal collection of writings over the last three decades. his journey from left to right as well from doctor to writer and thinker and social critic and a conservative critic columnist charles krauthamer we are pleased to recommend your blockbuster best ple seller. good to have you here. >> my pleasure. lou: i don't think most people know your entire personal story that makes the book so compelling that walter mondale, ed henryck jackson, how could you be associated with such people

with your conservative gl philosophy? >> i am glad you are asking. you people ask me how to go from mondale to fox news? i was young. the law under answer is i did not have an epiphany one morning. and that the lord spoke to me. but in my 20s i was a democrat but it was a road by many including reagan who's started out as the new deal democrat. i began my writing career and the evidence of the great society of the war onh poverty that i had believed in, the evidence of its effects began to come in and i was a physician and the evidence was unmistakable

not own the helping the people but was undermining the communities pahari so i began to reexamine the premises of the great society and overtime with the accumulation of evidence i thought to achieve the same answer that works well to provide for everyone a small government is far more accurate for the society. that is why i changed over years. lou: you have always had a certain amount of a humanitarianism, humanity with your rationality of the assessments, it is not always present in a conservative advocates.ome how do you preserve at and

what is your reaction to the environment that in washington d.c. is toxic between the left and far-right? >> one thing people tend not to do any more is create the sincerity of the good will on the otheror side.me i do understand the intent. some want to control the political class, i know what you need to be a like your plan but that kind of thing. it is not very attractive but there is the other side. where the idea of social security you don't want to have the elderly living in destitution but liberals are stocked in their reactionary

cyclere s where it is the institution rather than the idea. life expectancy was 62 when it was created it was nots intended to subsidize the last 17 years of a life so it has to be adopted. the liberals will not be willing and the conservatives should embrace the goals of a decent humane society but is not afraid to reform for what is rational. lou: it seems you collidei with the ample sum of the republican party into the establishment, and there are corporate tinkers and libertarians who seem to have no place or to

responsible regulation and we have the establishment right now like mitch mcconnell calling for the establishment to stand up to the tea party. this is are but a sign ofi trouble to come. >> that is why i wrote the book. there is a conservative philosophy that believes in the safety net. not in the entitlement society not the hyper of liberal idea and all government regulation but itt. does believe we are a generouse society and there are solutions to incorporate smaller government and less regulation for things they would not have done 150

years ago. when long before it was an electoral issue i say we ought to legalize the illegals but only in returnf if these last 11 million then america is you made and generous but people are resisting because they think we will get a sham like reagan and the door is open again. lou: i count 1986 and then a decade later one of the reasons i support theason chairman of this judiciaryju committee who has theo incremental approach that has the potential to solve a very difficult problem to save the of these. charles is great to do talk

to you i cannot compliment your blocky enough. we recommend it high in the and i am sure this book will go even higher on the best-seller list. congratulations. >> no stopping me now. lou: my new book debuts on ginger 3/7 and the audio book version aside their braided it myself. pick it up. look e-book and audio availab

former mitt romney adviser is here to discuss the latest rage or oversight. next.

lou: house energy and commerce committee releasing new e-mails showing that administration officials knew they needed to delay healthare lou: the house showing that administration officials belaying the health care exchange for small businesses as early as august. but it wasn't until six weeks later on september 26, that the administration announced that it had been delaying the online portal for small business. the energy and ommerce committee chairman fred upton said about that revelation that is the paper trail broadens, we see more evidence that the administration was fully aware and the signature health care law was not ready for prime time. and officials have testified now to congress and a new gallup

poll shows the majority of americans, 52% say that they want the law scale back or repealed compared to 50% in october. 37% want the law expanded to me now, the number of visitors here, about 3.5 million people. should we care about this? what does it tell us? >> we should care because the old plans that people had have been canceled. so they can get insurance under the new system, it is a big problem. it is a problem for the viability of the insurance companies that are now trying to sign up people for whom they won't get paid. but my problem is just visiting

a website doesn't mean that anyone is enrolled. and this includes the signature health care law and unfortunately i don't see why that wouldn't continue. lou: given those ratios, i'm wondering why they stonewalled so many fronts. but the exchanges in the officials show the administration, as i just said. schilling the small business exchange. and they knew it wasn't going to be ready, but as you suggest, they refuse to let anyone know will effectively a last minute.

>> ttey delayed this and have had a disruption in that market we have been seeing today as well. lou: for medicaid come outpacing those for obamacare. they have inverted ratio that they sought and then some. and they have $17 trillion on unfunded liabilities because of the unintended massive expansion of medicaid and roughly half of

that is to the private insurance exchanges. and at least the medicaid portion is succeeding because those people are enrolling. lou: so medicaid is not working? >> that's right, mortality, heart disease, diabetes, anything relative to that at all. think we have to pass and expand medicaid because it will stabilize all these people. studies show that that's not the case.

lou: and he is supporting the model that is the foundation of obamacare itself. that is the young paying for the older. >> i doubt the administration is going to disclose the number of young people until unless those numbers are bad. lou: since when does the president or administration get to decide that they will not tell the american people whether a program they are paying for it is working or not? >> i don't know if it can be fought through litigation. and it could take congress to force them to do it. lou: you are saying that we may be faced with a process that may be incapable with the government and that we don't have the wherewithal or the resources or

avenues to correct it and we don't know to what degree we need to. >> there has been an immense political pressure to disclose this. so they trickle out and i think what we are going to have to do is get the data from the insurers and they are sometimes through consultants, the consultants are getting information and disclosing them. and we will see from this that it's a crisis that is submitted for the 2015th lanier or higher. that will give us an indication that older and sicker people are signing up. lou: older and sicker, and frankly, we will not at this point know anything substantive about obamacare and the enrollments and insurance that follows until perhaps the new year. it's just outrageous. >> it is a problem. but you can only hide the

problem so long. i think that they are trying to do that and hoping that if they tell people that everything is good and they don't disclose a lot, that is what they are terrible about. crisis continues. and it will discourage young people from signing up what they need to subsidize insurance. and i think that that will continue to get worse. and the nondisclosure will not succeed well. lou: is the model on the verge of collapse? >> i think that it is a way forward in this way. it won't collapse, but it won't live up to its promises either. lou: thank you for being here. we appreciate it. if you like your doctor, you can keep them. but you have to pay. that's not exactly what the president promised. the "a-team" on the ever-changing political narrative of the white house. we have ed rollins and michael good when coming up liking your flat rate shipping.

you will like it. the problem is the affordable care act, if it turns out that people -- even those who didn't have a doctor or policy, but that is going to be a really big problem. we already know that there are 5 million or more people in a way they can keep their doctor. but it is the people that are going into the system for the first time and maybe haven't been insured. they are also finding that the prices are not affordable. lou: as you put it, it's part of the basic message i think you're exactly right. this is such an elitist home and absolutely coercive and i can't believe there is a greater focus on it, probably in the national media. >> i think the national media, it in all fairness, they have

followed this ever since the government reopened on october 16, night and day. lots of problems not just with the rollout of the structuring of the law and anyone including the democrats were in negotiations, and i think that as we look to the website and the future of what does and will look like this winter and spring when the insurance industry is reassessing the prices through 2015. what will look like next summer when the businesses waiver and expire and mit people and events. a lot of potential problems come from the lava have nothing to do with the website market. and the administration needs to face that. lou: michael, you wrote a column on medicaid. the unintended consequences of medicare, converting this to the

obamacare enrollees in medicare is just swamped. $17 trillion with medicaid. >> is to pick up on what she said there, medicaid will reach a crisis situation fairly soon, but it will not be alone. and this was a website problem that became a political problem. >> most doctors are small business people do have to pay for nurses and receptionist or what have you. if you say that they have to get less money, they won't be able to function. and the problem with medicare

and medicaid is that it will break the backs of good health care. lou: among the many miscalculations, is the time horizon that these problems would manifest themselves, they would never dream that they would be at a crisis within a matter of three months. that is where they are right now. we are coming back to continue the conversation with the "a-team" and to join our discussion, check us out on social media. you can follow us, go to facebook, and three of the winningest most recognized managers in baseball history. that is coming up next.

defense and to follow along with that, the japanese are not backing off at all and it is very unclear what the united states position is. >> historically we have always been the force that goes in there and we don't have the resources always been what have you to keep the peace. but my sense is that all of these countries are not going to back off and there was a lot of historical bad blood. lou: michael, the fact that i raise and raised earlier and we were besieged by a technology companies to stop the surveillance and juss back off.

and your reaction that there would be a cadre of technology companies who think that their interest somehow would be better represented? >> i think that all of these are different pieces of the same puzzle. which is that you have a weak government that is viewed as weak. and now catering at home in many respects. so nobody wants to be with it. everyone wants to kind of carve it up in their own personal way. and i think that the lack of american strength and a consensus of a government that speaks for all the people, it is a really damaging moment. when america's government as we can come the world goes off the rails and i think that's what we're seeing in china and the ukraine and going back to the arab countries and at home as well. you see this division and sense

of resentment that the government does not represent the public any more. it's a very dangerous moment at home and abroad. lou: congress does not seem to have this clear voice on what is happening and the republicans might shoulder part of the interest to the country and what is going on? >> is a very interesting turn of events and i have been covering this since 1994. and to watch what has happened to both parties is something that is new and interesting on the republican side because there is actually a tangible drift towards this, but away from the tradition of the strong defense and the internationalist posture overall.

and an emphasis on global leadership. that is disappearing. but we are moving away with the republican party, as you can see. and then over on the democratic side, they have lost so many prodefense individuals. and there was such a liberal antiwar and anti-military investment posture that we are really seeing a new coalition between him that we see with afghanistan and other issues, you see senator rand paul siding with someone like dennis kucinich. nec this debacle for this country and the entire congress

turning against him. but both parties have said no. lou: was it a debacle one example of checks and balances? >> i am characterizing it that way and there wasn't a democratic individual in this town wasn't serious. they had known that this was coming for years. >> are you saying that they were embarrassed for the president? >> at. >> foreign policy is always led by the administration. and there's a bipartisan agreement on democrats and republicans and i think that the weakness of this president on all fronts -- he is not respected abroad or domestically. >> i think the serious thing was a dry run for the iranian regime and i think it's kind of a very

dangerous situation for the whole middle east. lou: there are plenty of challenges. thank you so much. it is good to see you. we certainly appreciate it. ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] if y suffer from a dry mouth
