5:02 pm
editor of "weekly standard," fox news contributor. guys, i have to tell you, i went to the white house website, to see if they were bragging about it, five-year anniversary and indeed they were. measure last five years, more affordable care my higher quality care and better health. doug, to you, true or false? >> false. if you look at litter of broken promises range from economy, to budget to health insurance especially to health care. we were promised higher quality care at lower costs. obamacare didn't bend the cost curve. indeed many people can't see the doctor they used to see. they have limited networks to go to with their insurance and the quality of care they actually receive diminished as a result of this law. >> the list goes on and and on. do you think minutes look at big picture? they will be voting in short order on new president, are they going to like it or hate isn't. >> there are two groups. the one people didn't have
5:03 pm
insurance and they have been helped by expansion of medicaid in particular. so they're better off, no question about it. but then there is everybody else which is what, 80% of the country. and they're, and they have exactly what doug was talking about. they have higher co-pays and higher premiums that they have to pay. so they're not going to like it. and it proves once again, that what they should have done in the beginning was would solve the problem that existed and that was people without health insurance who couldn't afford it. not bring the rest of all people with health insurance in the country into, into this program that they didn't want to get in the first place. remember most people were happy with their health insurance prior to obamacare. gerri: now they can't even keep what they had, that's for sure. hundreds of thousands of people actually lost coverage. i want to hear doug, to your point the promises made about this law from the president himself. listen. >> we will keep this promise. to the american people if you like your doctor, you will be
5:04 pm
able to keep your doctor. period. americans who already have health insurance, this thing is already happened and their only impact that their insurance is stronger better, more secure than it was before. if you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. this law means more choice, more competition, lower costs for millions of americans. i've insisted from the beginning that health care reform will not add one dime to our deficit. >> all right. you heard it there, promises keep your doc, keep your insurer, willower costs, bend the cost serve, i think there is one more in there. doug how well did they do? >> 0-3 on keep your health insurance, keep your doctor not add a dime to the deficit. i do think the affordable care act when it came across the president's desk was height of budget gimmickry. there wasn't one trick that congress learned over the years it left out. it never really added up.
5:05 pm
we're seeing how little it adds up today. right now as you know, gerri, this country's budget left on autopilot runs us into the ditch inside of 10 years this is one of the reasons why. gerri: that's right. price tag of obamacare over next decade, 1.2 trillion. fred? >> i think you left out one of the biggest promises of all, remember how we were all going to save $2500 in our health insurance? >> i can't find mine. >> the check must be in the mail or lost in the mail for me. >> 2500 per family. there was a point where the president, where the administration made the point, you wouldn't pay anymore than you would for your cell phone bill, doug. that didn't turn out to be true, either, did it? tell us what is happening right now to the premiums under aca, under obama care for people trying to pay? darn hard, right? >> oh, yeah. we saw a big premium spikes. double-digit increases for everybody the first year. now we're seeing big increases in the out of porkkets, co-pays,
5:06 pm
deductibles this has been very hard for people to swallow and i want to emphasize one of the points art laffer made in the clip at the outset. this is really bad economic policy. this is $500 trillion in new taxes. it is $430 billion in new regulatory costs according to the folks at my shop. this has been one of the reasons our economy has grown so poorly. because we haven't been seeing people get raises they can't afford their health insurance, much less anything else. this is the root problem of as well. gerri: economic repercussions for sure. we've definitely seen that. fred, to you, ted cruz jumping into the presidential fray today. he is a fellow who wants to strip out obamacare from the roots. is this growing to be part of his platform? will this be a talking point in the election? >> well it will be a talking point for every republican candidate in the election. think we're approaching 25 separate republican presidential
5:07 pm
candidates. that's a lot. they will all be saying pretty much what ted cruz said today. they want to kill the internal revenue service. they want to get rid of obamacare. they want to restore constitutional government. what i was looking for actually from ted cruz i didn't hear. that is what is his big idea? if you're running for president and you just have the same ideas that most conservatives have i mean there is nothing wrong with that but i think if you're growing to win you need a big idea. gerri: big idea. >> differentiate you from other candidates. i didn't hear that maybe we'll hear later from ted cruz but haven't heard it yet. gerri: doug, is a full repeal of this law even possible? >> not at the moment. certainly it would take, you know veto-proof majority in the senate. that is not probably in the cards in the foreseeable future. a lot of damage has been done simply will not be reversed. the way i like to think about this is roll the clock back to 2008-twine. republicans and democrats alike
5:08 pm
believed health care reform was important. we have to simply take what's on the books and reshape it, remold it. call it repeal and replace, call it whatever you want but we have to get to an endgame with market-driven health care reform, that actually gives people to make choices themselves, lowers costs. we have to get there one way or another whether it involves repeal or modifies what is on the books. gerri: it is such a mess now finding a way to find a solution may be tough. doug, fred, thank you for coming on today. thank you to both of you. >> thank you. gerri: some relief for your wallet. gas prices are down to $2.50 a gallon. gasbuddy.com petroleum analyst patrick dehaan is here. what is going on? down four cents over last two weeks? i say hooray. >> absolutely. not all areas are smelling the roses. here in chicago we're waking up
5:09 pm
to three to six inches of spring prices are going up. rest of the country minus great lakes, prices are are in decline. west coast prices skyrocketed two or three weeks ago based on refinery kinks. california down 10 cents a gallon. not everyone is smelling roses. chicago up 40-cent a gallon. a lot of different moves going on in different areas of the country. gerri: why aren't gas prices getting cheaper? >> you know a lot of it is certainly plentiful cheap crude oil. we saw crude oil prices last week touch a new six-year intraday low to 42. now they have rebounded. cheap plentiful crude is the name of the game. gerri: what role does the weaker dollar play in all of this. >> weaker dollar gets and lower gas prices bo. a strong dollar goes a long way keeping oil prices lower and
5:10 pm
lower for countries outside of the dollar. gerri: bring out your crystal ball, what happens to gas prices next few months and what happens to oil prices? >> absolutely oil prices will stay low. though they are showing a little bit of a sign of a mini rebound here they will stay low. cushing inventories are surging. we're seeing crude oil bottled up everywhere. gas prices come down as refineries finish maintenance. those who haven't hit the road for spring break it is certainly good news. another thing for spring break cheapest prices certainly in the south. gerri: all right. patrick, thanks for coming on the show tonight. appreciate your time. >> thank you. gerri: and still a lot more to come this hour including a look at new technology that allows parents to keep a close eye on their teen drivers. next on the fifth anniversary of obamacare one of the law's staunch opponents announces the occasion by running for president. what does the ted cruz campaign mean? tweet me @gerriwillisfbn or send

>> today, i am announcing that i'm that i am running for president of the united states. [cheers and applause] gerri: that is texas senator ted cruz becoming very first major candidate to announce a 2016 presidential bid after posting a midnight tweet to his followers. we're asking "national review"'s editor rich lowery. thanks for coming on. i was surprised by this twitter announcement. is that the new world? >> it is the new world. i think this was shrewd by ted cruz stealing march from everyone else. a month or two from now we'll be so sick of presidential announcements from all the republicans. there is a little novelty to it. he owned the weekend with mystery what he was doing and got a fair amount of coverage today too.
5:15 pm
gerri: how many more republicans can we expect to enter the fray and will be as large as last time around? >> probably larger, eight, nine, 10. a lot of impressive people. three senators maybe four right off the bat. a bunch of governors, former governors. so it will be an impressive and crowded field. cruz in particular, there is some chance he could win iowa. he wins iowa, one of last two or three standing. it is a very crowded field especially among populist religious right conservatives. gerri: he was at liberty university in lynchburg virginia home of evan fell call christians to, sure. fifth anniversary of obamacare. cruz calls for repeat -- complete repeal. listen to this. >> instead of joblessness instead of millions forced into part-time works, instead of millions who have lost their health insurance, lost their doctors, have faced skyrocketing
5:16 pm
health insurance premiums imagine in 2017, a new president, signing legislation repealing every word of obamacare. [cheers and applause] >> so a big applause line right? i bet this will be a theme sounded by a lot of republican. >> absolutely. it will be like opposition to the iraq war was in the democratic primaries was in 2008. the person who is most convincingly against this law, is going to have a leg up on others. ted cruz was in on the ground floor with this made his national reputation with a shutdown fight over obamacare funding. with his filibuster related to it. >> what is the strategy going on now for other republicans who might want to get into the fray? what is your mind-set, what are you thinking if you're a strategist planning this? >> there is an inside game and an outside game. inside game is all about money and jeb bush is just trouncing everyone else in that game.
5:17 pm
but money doesn't necessarily directly translate to the votes. then you have the outside game who can get the attention of sort of grab the mic winner so far last two months in that regard is scott walker. he has a lot of good feeling for conservatives out there. cruz going so is probably in part a reaction that it is hard for him to get oxygen in terms of attention because walker has been dominating the conversation. gerri: has been so dominant. yeah it is fascinating really. i have to ask you about cruz who is a junior senator, right? does he have the profile to make a difference here? >> there the upside and downside there. the upside if you're fresh and new on stage. something new and different. saw it with obama in 2008. you can run on hope and change, all rest of it. what makes it different this time around we had the experience of president obama. you will see governors and people who have been around a little longer, look can we afford to have another freshman senator president again, whether it is cruz or rubio or paul?
5:18 pm
after the disasterous foreign policy -- gerri: might want somebody with a little street cred or a few gray hairs. he is both canadian, born in canada, american now -- >> he is not canadian. but he can run for president. gerri: he can run for president? why? >> absolutely. under the rules he is an american-qualified to run for president. this will be persistent thing that comes up. it has been coming up in the past. both folks on the far left and far right probably aren't going to give this one up but it is not going to be a major issue. gerri: his dad was cuban, right? which is interesting as well. >> right. two of the most promising senators who are going to run cruz and rubio, are latinos. and it's a different look and a different feel for the party and that is going to be part of their selling point going forward. ted cruz when he, one of his first ads, did one in english, did another in spanish.
5:19 pm
gerri: very interesting. we'll continue to watch this rich, thank you for coming on the show tonight. >> thanks, gerry. gerri: later in the show, a warning what everyone needs to hear when it comes to their child's social security number. something to help the teen who gets behind the wheel but is electronic babysitter going too far. stay with us. ♪

the deal is exposed. now he is suing the city to keep it. fox business's jeff flock is in chicago. jeff? >> gerri, this is tough one even by standards in this state which is sometimes a little bit spotty. look at man talking about. there is actually a second person as well but i want to show you david, who is, used to be a lobbiest for the illinois federation of teachers. and, the state passed a law which said, if you worked for the union and you substituted for just one day you could get full pension. take a look how this all broke down. actually, he was formerly a state legislative aide. sew get as pension for that, a $30,000 pension for that. because he worked one day as a sub, he get as $31,485 additional pension. then, if all of his union service is figured in, he would get an additional $36,000. that is what they're trying to take away. he has taken the state to court over this, to recover that.
5:24 pm
get the full pension. here is what he is arguing. this is why this this takes on added sig caps because of state constitution. benefits of those pensions shall not be -- diminished is the word or impaired. if he was to win this, it would keep the state from restructuring in any way, its pension system right now which is $100 billion in, short of money. so, this becomes a kind of big case this is bad enough to start with. it could get even worse. >> unbelievable story. here's what i don't get. how did he get this deal? did a lot of other people get it too? >> well, they stopped it before a lot of other people could have gotten. the weird thing about, this gerri, this passed state legislature with both republican and democratic support because

it partly reformed the pension system but threw the other little curveball in there. they tried to correct it but when they went back to correct it the guy said, wait a minute. i followed the law. the law said i could do that. that's what i did. so i should get a benefit. gerri: unbelievable. i heard a lot more people tried it too. >> crazy. gerri: jeff, go to see you. >> not bad for one day's work. gerri: i can't do that. that is impressive. thank you. >> see you gerri. >> coming up tonight on an all new "strange inheritance" tonight at 9:00 p.m. eastern time, a montana cowboy inherit as ranch that is bust until he discovers ancient fossils that may bring in millions. >> a montana cowboy inherit as barren patch much prairie. >> this place isn't big enough to starve to death on. >> but beneath the parred soil he finds prehistoric treasure. >> this is one of the one of most important discoveries in this century.

5:44 pm
that they put out there distance driven. that's not really about safety now, is it? >> no. >> maximum speed traveled. but maybe parents want to know. >> i had boxes on my kid's car to know if they went out a certain area. hyundai offered that as well. this offers an audio and visual alert. it doesn't allow them to make the maximum volume of the radio whether it's the actual audio system or connected some sort of smart device. that's good. it's a distraction. it allows stability control. anti-locks. maybe they decide to drag race you'll know about that. one thing i would love to see is the report texted or emailed to the parent. i would love that. i had email alerts that would tell me they're speeding and i would say, slow down, or i'm

5:46 pm
