arithmetic. >> we're talk about what republicans and democrats agreed. we need 4 trillion in cuts have been 3 trillion. >> sean: cuts to the rate of increase, we're growing the size of government. >> and this president has put in place plans. >> sean: good grief. >> to slow that rate in actual cuts. >> sean: michael. >> actual cuts, the fact that he found time to spend 7 minutes with the republicans just was it, yesterday or today, to talk about this issue of sequester. 7 minutes. it's so important that that's what he found 7 minutes. if cost him should say cost the taxpayers $179,000 every time he takes off in air force one to go on another campaign swing. i'd say it's time to lead by example, lead by leadership not by-- >> michael, you realize, sean, you realize most americans say, hey you kno

>> the government has put -- we are $16 trillion in debt. our children and grandchildren are going to be absorbing this. they have spent billions putting it into the economy -- >> we have to go. >> it's not working. >> thank you both -- i gotta run. greta's next. thank you for being with us. see you tomorrow night.

>> these cuts are real. it is really a man-made disaster. >> there are going to be delays vukz of man powers and personnel reductionses. >> the republicans want requester to go forward. >> this is bad news, my brothers. >> the house has acted twice. why should the house have to act as third time before the senate does anything? >> they claim that they have passed two bills to solve the problem. sadly, those two bills have expired. >> we have done our job. the president hasn't offered a job. the senate democrats haven't passed a plan. it's time for them to pass a plan. >> the bipartisanship is impossible. two reason it's two sides don't agree on anything. but secondly, obama doesn't want

an agreement. >> after a long-time journalist, bob woodward claims he was threatened by a senior white house official. >> i do not doubt that the white house has threatened reporters. >> it was said very clearly, you will regret doing. >> this who said that? >> i am not going to say. >> you cannot read those emails and come away with the impression that gene was threatening anybody. as i think others have observed. >> lyou will regret this in chicago speak means you are going to have a dead horse bleeding in your bed tomorrow morning. [screaming] >> it was a half hour in which he was shouting at me.

now, viknown him for 20 years. i emailed back. i don't worry about shouts. but he was really... worked up and then he support me that email apologizing. you know, saying i am going to regret taking this stand. now, what -- we are talking about here is not a fact. he's not arguing with the facts because beforehand he said, we are not going to see eye to eye on this. it's an interpretation. obviously, he didn't like being challenged on this at all. but, you know, people have said, well, this was a threat or i was saying it was a threat... i haven't used that language. but it's not the way to operate in a white house. the problem is there are all kinds of reporters who are much less experienced, who are younger, if they are going to get roughed up in this way -- i have -- flooded with emails from

people in the press saying, this is exactly the way the white house works. they're trying to control and they don't want to be -- challenged or crossed. >> the weekly standard steve hayes joins us. steve, do you want to get into this one? >> look, if the question is: does the obama white house bully reporters? i think the answer is clearly yes. we heard this from other people who weighed in on this today, as bob woodward said, he was flooded with emails from reporter who is are sharing their tales. a lot of reporters did that publicly. fornier said he went so far as to cut off a source because a source had become so aggressive and blustery. does the email exchange between bob woodward and gene sperling rise to the level of a threat? i don't think so. you read the email tcertainly doesn't sound like a threat to me. >> i don't think bob was air anded and i don't think bob used the word threat.

regret is what he said. you can't threaten bob woodward. it's not going to scare you. but the young journalist who is come to town here and are trying to cover the white house or do anything and they start getting people being aggressive and abusive. you know, i know we get into the fights with the subjects we cover from time to time, but there is such a thing as transparentsy and lay off. woodward's laying out the facts who, started the seqefer and got the white house mad because he corrected them when they got it wrong. >> i think the white house has been very critical of bob woodward. i don't think the faces are on the white house's side. i think woodward is right and he was there, he reported fiduciary his book "the price of politics," he was in the room eye mean, he took you in the room fyou read those passages, talking to everybody there. the question -- the central substandpointive complaint that he makes is that the white house is pretending that the president wasn't behind the sequester when it was generated by the

administration. i think he's on solid ground with that. he said he never used the word threat. but that was clearly the implication that he gave with the politico reporters and with wolf blitzer. the point was to say that the white house is out of line, in doing this to me. >> look, i mean -- i guess it's subject to interpretation. but we all get threatened or roughed up sore something i. sure. >> i was traveling with the romney campaign last summer in poland, they wouldn't let us go in when he met with lex waulenca. we stopped at a festival and they were taking pictures of the american journalists and i tweeted that i felt like i was in a petting zoo and the romney campaign iced me out. -- i thought it was funny. but they didn't and they wouldn't talk to me. >> politicians always want to control the naiferrative. -- the narrative. i have had these confront eggs with the obama white house and the house and senate republicans on capitol hill before -- in

july of 2011 when there was all of this talk about the debt ceiling and the super committee and the sequester, i was very skeptical that that was going to lead to a good place. i remember having very heated conversations with staffers -- republican staffers, both house and the senate suggesting to me that i just didn't understand and i didn't know what i was talking about and i would make a fool of myself if i said the things i believed. >> i don't think -- it can be understated, this white house has pretended to be quite transparent, so when they are throwing rough elbows around -- they are trying to intimidate and push off a story. >> there is no question. i mean, the most interesting thing about this entire episode to me is that the white house feels that they need to manipulate the media. you have seen a lovefest with the white house for the better part of four and-a-half years now. the fact that they need to threaten suggests that they understand that the fight or the sequestert and spending is a big fight that is potentially damaging to the president. >> steve, always nice to see

you. >> congressman downing doesn't think the sky is falling. he is calling the sequester a manufactured crisis, not the apock lips that balm and others are predicting. >> i am not here to scare people. >> border patrol agency will see their hours reduced. >> the sequestration equals unemployment. >> fbi agency will be furloughed. >> these automatic spending cuts will be devastating to the american economy. >> federal prosecutorsville to close cases and let criminals go. >> sequester is washington speak for massive job loss. >> on the early childhood side, a cut of $400 million. >> it will be really, really painful. >> on the higher education side. >> flights to major cities like new york, chicago and san francisco and others could experience delays of up to 90 minutes during peak hours. >> congressman, you think this

is a manufactured crisis, this sequester? why? >> good evening, gret a. i am so glad that the telephone wires and the satellites are working on the eve of sequestration and i can join you tonight. i thinkue know, i was just mildly amused several weeks ago with the notion that the president could insist upon sequestration and sign it into law and complain about it. i went to being mildly annoyed when i had friends in the meat-packing business, threaten usda inspectors. but when i hear the president of the united states say the federal prosecutors are going to have to dismiss cases and let defendants go free because of something he agreed to that represents 1/15 of one year's worth of borrowing? you know, i think it was nitze that said, i am not mad that you lied to me, i am mad that i

can't trust anything that you tell me. the attorney general ought not lie to us. >> it's a felony if we lie to the taish general. if we lie to a federal official, it's a felony. if a federal official lies -- well, that's okay. the idea that the cases will be dismissed. these criminals are not going to be released. the federal government can't release them. it has to be a judge, number 1. but will there be some sort of back lag? the people who will suffer in the criminal cases are the ones in jail because they won't go to trial as fast. am i right? >> we have offered -- in fact the senate offered to give the president more flexibility -- we are talking about 1/15th of the money we borrow -- not the budget. just the mon we we have to borrow. so the president can move around and prioritize. he doesn't want to have to pick

between sick children and disabled children. no one wants to do that. but if you don't want to make hard choice, don't get involved in politics. he has known this was coming for two years. >> two years. >> it's his idea. >> it's his idea. he signed it into law! he's acting like it's the first he's heard of it. >> look, i don't want to hurt starving children, disabled children. i don't want anybody to lose a job. but the american people were asked to give up 2% in additional taxes recently. so it's hard for at least for me to understand why the federal government, those who representative the government can't find 2.4% to take out of the increased spending. we're not asking them to reduce spending. we are talking about slowing down the spending growth by 2.4%. why can't you find it in the budget? >> lwe ought to be able to. some of us in the house have found it. but as you know and the summer of 2011, they couldn't do it so that's why sequestration was put into place. it was designed to be painful.

they wanted to avoid it. but the so-called super committee was not able to come up with any systemic transformative remedy, so here we sit. we were supposed to hit sequestration on january 1. we have already avoided it once. it's going to happen tomorrow. when people wake up and they see that the mian prophecy's not true and the comet didn't sweep them and you want sequestration didn't have things falling out of the sky, they are going to conclude that maybe we can cut a little bit -- >> you know what? >> 1/15th. if it's painful, you know what? it's the politicians' fault. there is so much fat in the government that tell me you can't find 2.4% in the slow growth, not in the cutback, but the slowed growth. if everyone knew it was coming, if anyone is shock and gets a pink slip it's because there is really bad planning on the part of everybody else leading up to

it. >> i whole heartedly agree. if we cannot find -- look, we are going to try to balance the budget in 10 years. that may be a heavy lift for paul ryan. but finding $85 billion in a budget this size? you ought to be able to find that in the ashtray of your car in a budget this size. but you would think that -- that the sky was going to fall tomorrow. and we won't have air traffic controllers and we won't have tsa agents and fbi agents. what's going to happen, people are going to wake up and say, you know what? it's uncomfortable. but that's what happens when you get $16 trillion in debt. >> that's what -- >> that's a balance -- >> that's what happen when is the politicians really mess up their jobs as stewarts of our national budget. -- stewards of our national budget. >> i am not disagreeing with you. i was not there for $sixteen 16 trillion. >> i will give you a pass. i will give you a pass i. give me $2 of the trillion. >> i will give you two. >> thanks.

>> president obama is dwelling on the pain of spending cuts. but one republican senator says finding places to cut is not that hard. senator mike lee is making the suggestions and putting them onlineline. cut government waste. cut bailout, not first responders. cut funding for unnecessary programs, not school teachers. senator lee is here. >> i take it you are along the same think thissing of congressman gowdy. >> yes. we think a lot alike. we are both of the opinion that the president shouldn't be scaring the american people, especially where it's completely unnecessary. ways in which the oardzinary people won't get hurt. >> what i don't get -- we have general bob scales coming up, he says it's a catastrophe for the defense department. no one bothers to audit the defense department, the defense contracts. we don't know where the money's going. maybe it is. gubut i would like to see where the money's going.

>> that's right. that's why it's so important to have a budget. that's why it is so bad that we have gone four years without passing a budget. the last time we passed a budget in the senate, there was no such thing as the ipad. no one had heard of it, it wasn't on the market. >> i mean, i don't know if the viewers know about the profound waste. in the president's stimulus bill, we spent $20 million on signs. $20 million on signs. couldn't we figure it out -- there was construction. do we need to spend $20 million on signs? >> probably not. we probably don't need to spend $1.5 billion every year, paying for government subsidized cell phones or $200 million a year on rural air fare. these are just two examples of many that we can point to, where the government wastes money. >> i mean, we can identify them. you and i can talk about them until we are blue in the face. senator tom coburn can write a

book about it, but nobody stop its. i mean, what is it going to take for someone to stop the waste? >> it takes a budget. to pass a budget, have you to have a prolonged debate and discussion and dialogue -- >> do you really need a budget? the defense department can't say, we overpaid this defense contractor, maybe that's a waste? >> there are always ways to find waste that don't entail prioritization. but it's hard to force government to prioritizing. >> do you need a budget to figure out that you shouldn't pay for something twice? >> in theory, no. but if you force people to economize in how they go about thing,i they are going to find waste i. i think you need to start thinkingue need to empower government employees to give them a prize. if you find where it's paid twice, we will give you a percentage. have you to create things for government employees to stop wasting their money.

>> things like that have worked since the colorful war. one congress enacted the false claims act t. works well. perhaps we can expand it. >> indeed. >> thank you. >> governments are scrambling to deal with the sequester fallout in their states. when asked who is to blame, the oklahoma governor answers -- everybody. nice to see you, governor. >> good to see you, greta. >> who are the everybodys? i got my list. who's yours? >> there is a lot of people. first of all, beginning at the top with the leadership. that's the president. the president suggested the sequester, and of course, it went to congress. congress put it in there as a default that they were going to work on trying to balance the budget, lower the deficit. they didn't do it. so now we have the default. i think it's everybody -- republican, democrats, the house, the congress the president. >> i have looked at the white house issued a paper and i am

looking at your state, oklahoma, where the cuts are going to affect oklahoma. i am curious whether you agree. it says they tell lose $4.9 million for prischmear secondary education, putting 70 teacher and aide jobs at risk that. funding -- maybe you know this or don't -- is that additional money -- what is this $4.9, below the baseline? or is this slowed growth? >> i think that's going to be slowed growth. it's hard to tell. a lot of governors don't know what to expect. we hear the scare tactics that we are going to have to cut teachers and all of these scary things. at my state, when i took over 2 years ago in oklahoma, we had a $6 billion budget. we had a $500 million shortfall. i didn't go around scaring people, telling them i was going to have to kick granny out of the nursing homes. what i did was go about

prioritizing my spending, looking at ways to eliminate waste and make things more efficient. i closed the budget gap, close to 8% cut and spending in oklahoma. the result of that is that my unemployment rate dropped from 7% to 5.1% and vieconomic growth in our state. we went from $2.03 in our rainy-day savings account to over $600 million in two years. if states can do it, the federal government can do it. i don't hear the president talking about how to make government more efficient. he talks about how we have have tax increases and cut all of these programs and how we are going to scare everybody and to believing -- the nation's going to -- heck in a hand basket. >> let me ask you about your prior life in congress. just explain this -- i think this is an important point. they hear the word "cut," and they think that means less this year than last year. that's what most people think

"cut" is. but in washington language, cut means we are not going to spend as much extra that we had planned to spend, right? >> we are going to slow down the growth. -- >> now -- spending has increased so much in washington, d.c. >> how does washington, d.c. get away with calling that a cut? everyone thinks it's a cut, it just means we are not spending as much extra. >> absolutely. we are not going to spend as much as we have been. i don't think people think we don't have enough money. i think they think we have a spending problem. i think we have a spending problem. from the time i was in congress to the time i have been governor, spending's going up and up and up. we are talking about slowing down the spending growth in washington, d.c. and we can do that. governors across the nation -- republican governors are proving they can do that. >> i am not convinced that we need to cut programs because

there is so much fat in the government and the waste that even if we made one effort to locate it, to locate the fat, the repetitive payments, anything, i am not sure we have to cut any services. i am going to take the last word, thank you. >> thank you. >> to the viewers who, do you blame for the sequester? the house? the senate isn't democrats? the republicans? or president obama? go to gretawire and vote if our poll. straight ahead, the clock ticks doub to the sequester, news of another big waste of your tax dollars. this time, you are paying millions for luxury jets. who's flying high on your dime? could this land a college student in jail? find out why this has led to a federal case. and joadzy arias breaks down on the stand. >> were you crying when you were stabbing him? >> i don't remember. >> how about when you cut his

throat? were you crying then? >> i don't know. so, this board gives me rates for progressive direct and other car insurance companies? yes. but you're progressive, and they're them. yes. but they're here. yes. are you...? there? yes. no. are you them? i'm me. but those rates are for... them. so them are here. yes! you want to run through it again? no, i'm good. you got it?

slowed spending are going to take effect and no one in washington can agree how to slow that spending to avoid the sequester. one place they may have started a gao report flying on luxury jets and a lot of that jet setting was not for counterterrorism missions, but for personal travel. and i should congratulate you, brand new title of work. >> thanks. >> greta: some of this was work related travel, but some of it wasn't. so, what's the beef? >> that's right, since 9/11 whenever the fbi director or attorney general travel they travel on a fancy government jet and make sure they have the communication equipment. they don't just buy a ticket on american airlines like the rest of us. when they travel for personal reasons, this adds up 11 million dollars over five years and they pay the growing commercial rate than the

actual cost to the taxpayers. this adds up. >> greta: and fly a gulf stream and fly that to new york and costs what, $15,000 i think i read a story to fly and so ten what the attorney general would pay is like whatever costs then. >> couple hundred bucks, to make matters worse they store the airplanes at an undisclosed military location and have to fly them to national airport to pick up the passengers of the attorney general or fbi director. >> greta: why can't they at least go to andrews. >> exactly. this is one of the classic examples, no one can look at this objectively and say it makes sense. this is' a law there and people enact that law and go through with that law and ends up adding up to actually really silly government expenditures. it would be easy things to cut, but it's among those things that aren't being discussed right now. this is not the first time that senator grassley highlight this had. he does this every couple of years because it's crazy that he we still spend money on this. >> greta: all right and this is not just the obama administrator, but the predecessor, president bush 43, their attorney general and director were also doing the same thing. >> that's right, it's even

hard to fault attorney general holder for that reason because it's the policy and-- >> it's the law. >> they tell him what to do. but highlights again how silly this whole sequester he debate is. rather than taking the easy stuff, stuff you can cut and no one is going to feel it and say you know what, maybe we'll make the guy drive out to the air force base. >> greta: 20 minutes out to andrews. >> a couple minutes more rather than do easy things like that, we'll do senseless government expenditures. >> greta: and i guess that's sort of arose when 9/11 happened we never want to be out of touch with the director of the fbi or attorney general and want them on the fancy planes with great communication system and time has gone by and maybe rethink this and we're not. >> exactly right. it becomes mindless and became these essentials of personnel that needed to be in touch all the time. no one is saying the attorney general and fbi director can't go on personal trips or go home for the weekend, but again, these numbers are ridiculous. >> greta: aguess when someone flies to new york and rather than spending $15,000 on a

government jet. eighths 40 or 30 minute. maybe the acting attorney general or deputy ready there with the phone and still have satellite phones in the planes and cheaper ways to do that. >> even joe biden says he looks forward to taking the train now and got the secret service to allow him to do that because of the sequester cuts. >> greta: it's unbelievable, every place we look there's money going out and when we talk about cutting things we sort of looked around and use the common sense. >> the mindlessness of the sequestration cuts, where you have this awful meal cooked up by republicans and democrats disgusting as possible and now served for dinner. never supposed to happen. >> greta: that's their own fault and they've set that as a sword holding over and the super committee in november of a year ago was supposed to solve the problem. when it didn't solve the problem they didn't go back and try to solve the problem they let a year pass again. they through it was coming and

i have no sympathy if the american people take it out on them. >> they did it and both sides hated it he equally. >> greta: they did nothing. they may have hated it, but done nothing on a year and a half and one other thing, the senate adjourned for the day even though the sequester is tomorrow and they'll be back on monday. >> and thank you. >> thanks, greta. >> greta: how about our troops? will the sequester put our troops in danger. and it looks like the college students are having a good time. will they land in jail? will they land in jail? thanksssss look what mommy is having. mommy's having a french fry. yes she is, yes she is.

>> major general bob scales warning about the impact of the sequester on our military. he insists it will be catastrophic. he joins us, nice to he sue. >> nice to see you. >> greta: explain to me how it's going to be catastrophic to the military. 2.4% and i realize it will have an impact, but catastrophic? >> let's do the numbers. 2012 the dod take a hair cut after trillion dollars, 100 million dollars aor for ten years. if this it sequestration, the department of the defense takes 50%, dod 18% of the budget and they tyke 50% of the cuts. the problem is particularly the army, they have to take those cuts over the next eight months what that means--

>> they can't take it-- >> they can't. what that means the army loses the things they need most, people and training. because the thing in the army called erosion curve and when a soldier comes back from combat, his skills in combat erode quickly so you have to put him back in the training business so he maintains those skills. if he doesn't train and you know, 12 million cut in army training funds. 60% of the army's training budget is gone and within a year, the erosion for those units is in fact catastrophic and if we have to go to war again in a year or two, those soldiers won't be ready and by the way, we have an army or a military that's at war in afghanistan not people remember that. >> greta: okay. so, i guess the -- sort of position that against what i see as probably the pentagon a lot of defense contractors and an awful lot of waste there it and i realize that this is more urgent and we can't collect that waste from the defense contractor and double

billing, whatever it is because of the urgency problems. it's more urgency with the pentagon. >> the irony is that the contractors are sort of buffered against this because of their contracts. you can't just go in and say, cut a program and get that money back in eight months. if you're going to do it, you have to cut people. and here is the sad thing. >> greta: but the deal, it's a contract. >> a contract. exactly, but the contract with the soldiers is, if i have to cut 24,000 enlisted men and 7,000 officers in the next eight months to a year, that's an easy payback to the budget. it's not so easy for those soldiers who had two, three, four tours in iraq and afghanistan. machine a machine gunner or mortarman and now on the street. >> greta: it's a much more urgent situation, and i see it now. i understand that. i'm curious about defense contractors, i hear the horrible stories that we're paying what we agreed to, billions of dollars. why isn't something done about that?

why aren't these contracts policed to see whether we're paying twice, whether we really need this stuff. it's unbelievable the amount. >> here is what's so interesting, we have the contracts going out for new stuff. everybody needs the new stuff, yeah, for institutions like the marine corps and the army, we've got 5,000 vehicles that are broken from ten years of war sitting in depots just to be repaired. we have helicopters that have flown their blades off just to bring the military back to condition where we're operationally ready. and forget the contracted new stuff. just to bring the old stuff back to some condition of readiness 6 to 12 billion dollars. >> greta: that's even a whole other issue. and people who are not part of the-- who aren't in uniform, companies making lots of money. >> lots of money. >> greta: lots and lots of money and is there -- i mean, are any of these contracts ever audited? >> they're audited, but this pace of escalation in the contracting business is out of control, no argument from me.

>> greta: any bidding, any competitive bidding. >> some of them are. >> greta: not all. >> not all, but by the way, once you get-- the problem once you get a contract for a fighter plane or a ship, then the escalation above the baseline sometimes is two or three times as much as what you originally budgeted for. the biggest problem in the dod in the years ahead is going to be acquisition reform. fix the system for buying stuff and that's probably going to be the greatest return on our investment that we could make particularly if you're trying to save over the long-term. short-term it's people and training. >> greta: nice to see you, a sobering report. thank you. coming up from hospital care and medicare too food inspections and will the sequester impact your health care. in two minutes, what does housework have to do with your waistline. waistline. the surprising s s s s s the capital one cash rewards card

doctors and hospitals say the sequester's medicare cuts will lead to the loss of more than 200,000 jobs and that's not all. how else could the sequester affect health care? joining us, nice to see you. >> hi, greta. >> greta: tell me, what is anticipated that the sequester will do to health care in the country? >> there's a lot that's going to happen. federal government invests in a the lot of public health initiatives and those are going to get run down the toilet. what advocates are telling us, 8 or 9% cuts for food and drug administration, national institute of health. things like research are going to get cut. vaccines for kids, people are saying they're going to get cut. hiv and aids care, a huge amount of range of activities that the federal government is engaged in when it comes to health care and people are saying that you know, it's all going to be in trouble. >> greta: explain this to me. like you take like the c.d.c., centers for disease control. lose 8 or 9%, is that of increased growth? i mean, it means they're not going to have as much growth

as expected? that's not a real cut, if you're looking at your budget at home and $500 a month and cut it suddenly 400 a month. and the washington cut thought you were going to have 600 you'll have 550 and the old one was 500. >> health care advocates are saying in the sector they've seen cuts upon cuts upon cuts and upheaval because of the president's health care law and population is aging, hey stop cutting us. we don't benefit from the upheaval. we need continuity to make sure the american people are healthy. >> greta: is anybody getting rich in health care. >> i think they are, because of the aging population, it's huge industry. >> the doctors don't seem to be getting rich. speeding up the visits, who is making the money. i think that pharmaceutical companies are doing well and health

insurance plans are going to do well and hospitals are worried though, doctors are worried. they're saying that the sequester cut which includes 2% cut to medicare providers is really coming on top of cuts and cuts, years of cuts and everyone wants to get out of medicare and it's not good for patients or the american people. >> greta: the doctor shortage, losing 2% and going to cut medicare and probably not as much from medicare as a private patient in the first place and now you're going to cut 2% more, what doctor, if there's a shortage, what doctor is going to provide that medical care? >> that's what seniors are wondering and seniors are reporting back to members of congress and saying, hey, i can't find anybody to take medicare in my area of the country. >> greta: why do we have a doctor shortage? >> i don't know. another part of the sequester, they'll cut federal grant in medical education. these sequester are meant to be irrational perverse, it's not smart to cut across the board we need to focus on our priorities. >> greta: interesting to see what happens, and supposed to
