screen. >> sean: i'm glad it's successful. gives me hope for society. thank you, and your husband, too. and let not your heart be troubled, greta is next to go on the record. we'll see you back here tomorrow night. >> greta: tonight, is president obama betraying his biggest supporters? dr. ben carson is here to talk about that. but first, is the white house keeping a secret? >> we still have no budget from the president in violation of the law. >> on the fiscal budget, do you guys have a date set? (laughter) >> at least two more times before the end of the week. >> it would have been nice to see his budget on february 4th when it was due. >> and i don't have a fixed date to mark on your calendar. >> it would be nice to see it on march the 4th when it will only be a month late. >> eventually we'll probably have to. >> the president being late on his budget is kind of like

issuing your final four picks about april. >> i didn't say we had set a date i said i wasn't going to tell you. >> what's the-- >> we're going to have a plan in process, we're working through it. the week of april 8th. (laughter) >> first tonight, president obama said the sequester would be devastating. weeks later, most americans disagree. according to a new rasmussen poll, 51% of americans say they have felt he no impact and 30% say the impact has been minor, but they go even further. an incredible 45% of americans say the cuts should have even been deeper. karl rove joins us, nice to see you. are you surprised to see the numbers. pretty amazing. the other thing that's interesting about them. you're comparing apples to oranges, but polls would tend to indicate that the the concern about the sequester has been dropping since the white house square campaign earlier this month. >> greta: so how does this hurt the president? i mean, if he said it was

going to be all of these horrible things and maybe the horrible things have come, but at least right now, most americans aren't feeling them. >> it hurt him in two ways, looks like crying wolf and it doesn't happen and the second thing, the administration and democrats on the hill apparently are going out of their way to try to make certain that it does. for example, the example where the f.a.a. is closing 159 towers at smaller air fields, virtually every one. them is just general aviation and not the passenger service. and jerry moran, the republican senator from kansas came up with an idea to find the 50 million dollars to keep most of those open and proposed an amendment to the democratic budget resolution and harry reid wouldn't allow to be considered. so, i suspect we're likely to see in weeks ahead examples of where the administration was going out of its way to try and make things hurt in order to be able to say what we said about the sequester.

>> and having a word to the white house, is it a fair criticism about the kids all over town and spring brack, and all of these grade school kids and junior high and they want to go into white house and they can't because the tours are closed. anything the president could do or solely within the discretion of the secret service? >> this is shameful. look, the overtime costs for the secret service amounts to the white house said it was $74,000 a week, which we said was less than 3.9 million dollars for an entire year of this. and we have a government that has a 3.6 trillion dollar budget. that is 360,000 millions of dollars and you can't tell me in the budget of the department of homeland security which the secret service is part of. you can't find 3.9 million in savings, take it out of the conference budget and virtually every agency that the federal government has unspent balances, this is sort of a slush fund and they like to hold on to moneys and appropriated and they like to

hold on to them. and sweep the balances and i'm confident that you'll find many, many, many times the 3.9 billion dollars that are needed to open up the white house for public tours, shameful. >> greta: is it shameful on bath of the secret service or the president has the authority to say do something about it? >> look, they have the authority to move money around and in the accounts of the department of homeland security. this is janet napolitano, it's not the director of the secret service, it's the secretary of homeland security who could take care of this. if it was a problem, i'm very confident whatever kind of flexibility they need today pull this from within the department of homeland security would be immediately granted by the congress had the president asked for it. it's mean-spirited and petty. it's not what we expect from our president. and we want him to elevate the country not the petty ones. >> greta: the obama administration admitting

americans could see their premiums rise. hhs secretary kathleen may be a higher cost associated with getting insurance. is that what we heard in the beginning or is the obama administration singing a different tune? >> they're going to have to admit the reality. remember, the president said that if obamacare was the affordable care act was passed, the premiums would go down $2500 for the average family of four by the end of 2010. that's what the president said would happen. >> greta: did that happen. >> no, affordable care act aj premium 14,000-- 13,770, 200 some add dollars more. and then 15,073. a pretty big jump and the following year, 2012, 15,400-- >> 700. >> 745. so we've seen increase and now

approaching $5,000 between the difference of what the president said it would be and where it actually is at this point. >> greta: why is that happening? >> well, the law encouraged the-- the law includes a lot of mandates and a lot of requirements for insurance providers and these policies have to have a bunch of stuff in there that heretofore were not included in many policies. for example, there's a limit on lifetime expenditures by the policy. it also has a thing called community rating which says, you can't charge older, less healthy people the real rate that you ought to be charging them, and you ought to charge younger people, healthier people a higher rate in order to subsidize older people. well, this means that rates are coming up pretty dramatically for younger healthier workers. >> greta: is this because they didn't realize it or they were trying to hide something? i mean, why? now that we're seeing this, you know, with the administration just not being candid with us or they didn't get it? >> i don't think they were

being candid, frankly, because i talked to a lot of health economists during 2009 and 2010 as the bill was discussed, few of them thought the premium going down was anything close to reality and i think the administration came out with a series of focus group tested reasons. now, your premiums are going to go down $2500 a year by the end of 2010. if you like your insurance, you're going to be able to keep it. all of these things that we now know are not going to get in the middle of the relationship between you and your doctor. you don't think the affordable care act is getting between you and your doctor, talk to your doctor and see what they say. >> greta: what i found disturbing, the idea the premiums were coming down because everyone was contributing, putting money in the pot and what we've seen over time hhs has given waivers to large organizations and maybe doesn't affect the price dramatically, but a lot of people aren't paying in the pot and a lot of things people are opposed to taxes on

medical devices. the minute you start getting rid of things, people that have to pay and premiums are going to rise for people. >> you're right. let me talk to two different issues. the waivers, these are temporary waivers and a lot of those went to unions, politically in league with the the president. but you'll see a lot of unions, like the culinary union has now examined what it's going to do to their union-provided he benefits and are furious what it will do to the union coverage. >> greta: where were they in the beginning? >> remember, people didn't get a chance to read the bill. nancy pelosi famously said we've got to pass the bill so we can find out what's in it. now we're finding out what's in it. >> greta: if more people squawked at the time. i realize not every bill is read by everyone, but when you have a 2300, 2800-page bill that's going to dramatically change things, or have an idea what's in it. >> and a lot of this is regulation, and a lot of this is brought about by a result

of rules written by people we don't know. >> greta: we never voted for. >> and rules incidentally are coming very, very late. there's a letter sent by the chairman of the house small business committee today to secretary sebelius saying look, you were supposed to have the small business exchange to allow small businesses to have a marketplace to purchase insurance supposed to be up and operating by now. you don't appear to be anywhere close to having this exchange up and operating by the time it should be. >> greta: can this be fixed all of these sort of problems or just implode on us? >> my personal view is i think this thing is going to turn out to be far more expensive than we thought and funneled by red ink and going to turn out to be very damaging to people getting health insurance from their company. think about this, if the average cost today after policy for a family of four is $15,000 which about 11,500 comes from the employer, and the cost keeps going up, why should the company continue to provide coverage when it can

dump that coverage, pay the employee some more money and pay a $2,000 fine for having dumped the coverage and put them into the exchanges? the exchange is going to cost, according to the original cbo estimate roughly 500 billion over the first ten years. 24 million people were supposed to find themselves in exchanges. 21 million who never had coverage before and 3 million who would get coverage from the exchange because their employer dumped them. that's 2010, as of two months ago, cbo says we don't think 3 million, it's 8 million. department of human services center for medicare says it's going to be 17 million people who get their coverage dropped. health economists are believing that it could be much higher. anywhere from 30-some odd million to 70-some odd million and national center for policy analysis says 110 million. what does that mean? that means if the cost of 24 million people is 500 million dollars in the first ten years, when remember, there's no coverage for any of those

people for four years, you spend two years ramping is up and spend over 85% of the money on them in the last four years of the decade what happens if the number is not 24 millions, but 50 million, 70 million. that's what's going to happen. it's going to collapse. >> greta: do you concede we need to do something about the medical. >> absolutely. >> greta: you don't want to leave it as-is. >> no, no, i think there are alternatives and there are alternatives and we've got good alternatives available to us, but this is not going be to be -- this is not going to be sustainable. >> greta: let me ask you, karl, now about the new ad put out by governor sarah palin's pac, political action committee. >> now is the time to furlough the consulting and tune out the pollsters and the focus groups and-- let me invalidate you. >> she plays by her own rules. >> time for we the people to break up the cronyism, finding

the candidates, pta's, service clubs, tea party rallies and city hall. the next election is 20 months away, the last thing we need is washington d.c. vetting our candidates. >> i would not be in the u.s. senate today if it were not for governor sarah palin. >> greta: so governor sarah palin tea party force with political punch in 2014? >> yeah, and my hope is that she deploys that influence effectively. it's one thing to endorse ted cruz, my senator from texas in a republican primary in a safe state. it's another thing to go in and start campaigning actively for people in general elections and i hope she brings her influence to bear in campaigning in these states. susanna martinez, for example, endorsed by sarah palin in the primary in new mexico for governor in 2010, in the general election, look, i was down there in hobbs, new

mexico doing a fundraiser and to las cruces to do a fundraiser, sarah palin if she wants to be effective in 2014, raise her focus from simply endorsing people in primaries and be involved in safe republican states and start putting her considerable political influence to bear to help people raise money and enthusiasm in general elections. >> greta: on the other day you were on another network and talked about the gay marriage issue in 2014 and could you see a republican candidate to be in favor of gay marriage. >> i was asked if in the republican presidential sweepstakes i could see a republican candidate endorsed, yeah, vice-president cheney supports gay marriage and john huntman supported civil unions now signed the petition in favor of gay marriage, yeah, i think by 2016 there could likely be a republican presidential candidate who says vote for me, i support gay marriage. >> greta: now what i think would be the best thing strategically for the republican party, 2016 if the

supreme court in these two cases has very broad decisions and basically ends the discussion. so that the republican party isn't debating the issue in 2016. >> i think there's a lot of ways of doing that and i also think that if the court makes a broad decision and overreaches we could have the same situation we've had with abortion. people say, look, i don't like the court dictating the outcome i'd rather leave it to the people and their elected representatives. >> greta: social issues a problem and make it more difficult for the republicans party to win. >> i'm a social conservative a and-- george w. bush was a social conservative and elected twiin different time. eight years ago or 12. >> you've got to be not judgmental. the problem with todd akin and-- said it so out of touch with people's--

(inaudible), and-- which was off the chart. >> and then richard murdoch saying if a woman was raped and became pregnant was god's will. >> off the charts. >> that does make a social issue for republicans, but you mishandled this. >> karl, nice to see you. >> thanks for having me. >> now we show you the pac touting small government and the tea party. what do you think? will the tea party be a force to reckon with in 2014 and will governor sarah palin? go to greta wire and see the whole ad and tell us what you think. and straight ahead, brace yourself your wallet could take a big hit and you will never guess where it's coming from this time. senator jeff sessions here to tell you next and president obama's biggest supporters are complaining about him. what's the complaint? pediatric neurosurgeon dr. ben carson will tell you. he's here next, plus, a big--

is in trouble. senator sessions joins us. nice to see you, sir. >> hey, greta. >> greta: senator, in looking at the obamacare, and it's very complicated and not particularly clear, i wasn't able to determine whether or not it said that people here in the united states illegally could receive obamacare. in fact, i thought it said almost the opposite. you're here illegally, you're not eligible. what's your understanding? >> if you're here illegally and you're not eligible for it, but if you would see the interim status and become legalized through some sort of amnesty program, you would be eligible for it and that's why senator rubio and the other republicans that have been meeting on this supported my amendment because they've been saying publicly that the interim status, the legalization would not allow you to obtain some of those programs. now, that's important. people who have been turned down, are having to wait to come here, they don't get

these programs so he we shouldnt be rewarding them, came illegally here, if they get some sort of legal status under this legislation. >> greta: and tell me if i'm corrects, you were trying to sort of head off at the pass a provision you would anticipate would be in an immigration reform bill that senator leahy, president obama said tonight he wants it taken up in april and then of course you have the gang of eight bipartisan group working on it. and head off the pass and that you gain legal status-- okay. >> and-- >> go ahead, sir. >> well, if they're given legal status, i do think they would probably be eligible for the obamacare and medicaid programs unless this legislation is passed and that's why it's been said, i know senator rubio said financially it's not doable piece of legislation if this isn't controlled in this

manner. >> greta: explain to me, if your legislation passed and we had gotten i mmigration here and somebody in this country, horrible accident, horrible head injury, ends up at the emergency room and isn't covered by obamacare, that person will receive medical care, is that correct? >> absolutely. just as if they're still here illegally and haven't been given legal status. anybody that comes to the emergency room gets that care, yes. >> greta: the reason i ask that, the hospital and the doctors will pay for that, who give him the medical care. so, i mean, it's almost as though, i mean, that charge will then be passed on to others through higher insurance rates, or more expensive medical bills so that in the end, we end up paying for it anyway, because we have big hearts and we don't want people to suffer. i mean, what difference if we pay through to obamacare or pay through that mechanism?

>> well, many people will take out insurance and already have, and if they're given a legal status take out insurance like everyone else, it just won't be provided by the government for them. and again, i don't think this country can afford to reward, in addition to giving a status immediately, to people who are here illegally, all the benefits this country offers to its citizens who have been paying taxes for generations or years, for example. it's just a kind of thing that we've got to think through. i thought the committee, this group has been meeting since they believed this was a policy and i was disappointed to see that the democratic members voted no. >> greta: all right. let me jump ahead to the issue of immigration. do you believe president obama saying tonight in an interview he thinks there will be an immigration bill on the floor that the gang of eight is

working on? do you believe there will be a bill on the floor in april, that it will be voted on and likely will pass? >> i don't. but i don't doubt that it will be brought up in april. at least that's what chairman leahy had said. he's going to bring it up immediately, apparently. nobody's seen it. we don't know what's in it except the group that's been meeting. he's going to bring it through committee and in the shortest possible time. senator reid said last week he'd like to see it next week, apparently because he wants to pass it in the three-week period that we have. this is too quick. there are a host of incredibly complex issue, this being one of them. what economic benefits will people get who came here illegally? what impact will it have on the wages and jobs of american citizens? what about the entry-exit visa system supposed to be completed 17, 20 years ago, still hasn't been completed? there are so many big--

what about the future flow? what kind of people do we need to focus on? shouldn't we be looking for people as the basic law is now, that will not be a charge on the state? that will not be demanding to be taken care of, but look for immigrants who can be independent, those who are going to be most successful in america, and need the least support. that's what good policy is so we need to look at this bill. i think it's got real troubles. they promised a biometric identifying card. they said it's too expensive. said you wouldn't get immediate benefits and they're backing away from that and now rammed through in a matter of weeks and we need, honestly. >> greta: senator. >> really intense hearings on how to make this any kind of legal system work properly. >> greta: and i hope that we have a debate about it. i hope everyone reads it

before he or she votes on it and we don't learn about it what's in it after it's been passed, that we make smart legislation that's good for the country. senator, thank you, sir. >> thank you. the american people are right about this, they want a lawful, decent good system and the politicians haven't given it to them. >> greta: thank you, sir. coming up, african-americans came out to the polls in record numbers, but did the president mislead his biggest supporters? dr. ben carson is here and also there's big news about that little blue pill taken by millions of american men.

>> president obama underfire not the from his opponents, but from his biggest supporters. the congressional black caucus blasting the president for a lack of the diversity in his cabinet, but is that fair? dr. ben carson the director of pediatric neurosurgery at johns hopkins and author of request america the beautiful", and the president getting a hard time for the number in his cabinet. >> people do things based on their mierts and it doesn't mean that he is not interested in diversity, it just means that that's not one of his greatest priorities right now.

>> greta: does it say something about the priorities of the congressional black caucus? >> well, yes, obviously, it does. probably it would be a good idea for them to engage him in some conversations and talk about what their goals are and what his goals are and see if they can mesh. just like just about everything up on capitol hill. a little bit of open, honest conversation could go a long way. >> greta: doctor, for years i did poverty work in middle of the large city here in washington d.c. and my clients almost 99% of them, were african-american and so, you know, this issue of inner city poverty is one that i've been very interested in for decades. i'm curious, do you have any thoughts how to sort of break that cycle of the horrible poverty and unemployment in the inner cities? because whatever we're doing right now is not working? >> yes, i have thought about it frequently and what we have to do, first of all, is make

sure that we give people opportunities. you can't -- you can lead a horse to water, obviously, can't make them drink it, but we need to make sure that the water is there for them to drink. and one of the things that we don't need to do is enable people. you know, in the '60s, the great war on poverty, there were so many programs that were enacted that i think crippled people and decreased their desire to escape from certain situations, and that's not productive. so, we need to make sure that they want to escape and then provide them with a mechanism to do so. reward them when they do so, more and more people will begin to see that there is a way out that a lot of it has to do with also the fact that people are willing to give them opportunities. and one of the things that you just are talking about here in terms of the president and

whether his cabinet looks diverse or not, one has to actually set goals and say we want to make sure that we have a society and a work force that's reflective of the society. >> greta: you know, regrettably, you can probably send a camera out to the community and find someone who says, you know, i want all my f free stuff and that goes on tv and say that's what the people in the inner city want. that's not my experience, they want their children to grow up and have a better life than they have. how do you do the nuts and bolts? how do we transform a community that's had so many entitlements and perhaps that may have crippled them in your words, how do we sort of engage it into the other direction and give them the opportunity? >> well, first of all, you have to make people aware, people in the business

community, people who do the hiring that they're actually doing themselves a favor when they create opportunities for people to escape from poverty, because those are people that don't have to pay for it in the penal system or the welfare system and they become tax paying productive members of society by the product that you make. so the more such people that we produce, the better off we're going to be. so they have to be the ones who really buy into this so there's some education there. but at the same time, we need to bring personal responsibility back into the equation. there is no question that there is a segment of our society that likes to keep people in the subserviant position by giving them everything and that has nothing to do with whether they're african-american or any other race, that's human nature. so you want people to have a desire to move forward. you don't want people to be complacent in a situation where they are and enable them

to be that way. >> greta: dr. carson, thank you. i think you're my first neurosurgeon on the air and the first presidential medal of freedom winner, you got from president bush. thank you. >> thank you. >> greta: coming up, is north korea threatening to go to war? ambassador john bolton is here and in two minutes, one high school home to a real life "fight club." the video on facebook, that's just two minutes away. this is so sick! i can't believe your mom let you take her car out. this is awesome! whoooo! you're crazy. go faster! go faster! go faster! go faster! no! stop...stop... go(mom) i rais my son to bester! careful... hi, sweetie. hi, mom.

we're in a terrible situation with them. >> we're in a different situation than in the past provocations because in december they put a payload into earth orbit, that's significant and they have conducted their third nuclear test. they may not be able to put an icbm on a warhead in the west coast of the united states, but may very well could at japan or-- >> and our soldiers at the dmz. >> the korean peninsula. it's unlikely that anything could happen, but you can't dismiss it. the risk of a miscalculation from the north or south that leads to escalation, and why we're making a mistake when we follow the strategic patience strategy, let the north korean as top off and don't take them seriously. you're in a position at some point we've got to demonstrate we're serious. >> greta: is the only solution

china? >> i think the only solution is ending the korean regime by unifying the peninsula. china can apply, but they're afraid cutting off energy or food or humanitarian resistance and the system will collapse and-- >> get the refugees. >> and why we should have done to china and should have done it ten years ago, to explain there has to be a peaceful unification. i think the younger generation understands that, but the older generation that's resistent. >> greta: what's going to happen? >> i think that the possibility of some military incident like the sinking two and a half years ago of the south korean corps, and one shelling of one of the islands, provocation across the dmz is real and it's a question of containing it and not allowing it to escalate

without control. but i don't think we ought to be in a position where we have to deal with this irrational hitler in the bunker mentality regime in north korea. >> what are we going to do if we don't get china to do something. >> he better late than never. i would have started this conversation a long time ago, why it's ultimately in the interest of stability in northeast asia which they say they want, which i think i take them at their word. the way you accomplish that is to end this nuclear weapons program in north korea so that japan, south korea and taiwan and others don't say our only hope especially with the declining american nuclear capability is to get their own. >> ambassador, thank you. >> thank you. >> the supreme court spending a second day on gay marriage and yesterday the states case and this one the federal case, challenging the doma as it's called. and receiving spousal benefits from the federal government and tonight, in an interview with univision, president obama speaking about gay marriage. >> i don't know what the court will do. i never predict what the court

will do. same-sex couples should be treated fairly and have the same rights to benefits and to being able to transfer property, all the rights and recognition that i think heterosexual couples do. >> and shannon bream was inside the supreme court. she joins us, what happened? >> as you said, this today is about a federal policy. a federal law that essentially says when it comes to federal benefits and tax policy for married couples, we're only going to apply it for a marriage between a man and woman, even if same-sex couples are legally married in their states. as ruth ginsburg said, about marriage, a discussion about the ordinance of the law and why lawmakers spoke overwhelmingly when they passed it. we put together the audience and first justice elena kagan and then the chief justice john roberts. >> i'm going to report from

the house is that congress decided to reflect and honor a collective moral judgment and to express moral disapproval of homosexuality. is that what happened in 1996? >> so, the same question i asked before, 84 senators based their vote on moral disapproval of gay people? >> the former solicitor general who is doma to the supreme court, said the lawmakers went to the clinton justice administration three times to ask whether the law would be constitutional. they were told it was, they voted for it. >> greta: so they're questioning, one of the things he we lawyers always it try to do, is to guess. want to take a stab at which way they would be leaning or too risky? >> it's always risky, but there are questions whether the federal government should be making any blanket pronouncement about marriage or better left to the state. >> and i mean, that's-- >> if they go to that question

and not reaching the issue of gay marriage. >> and both have equal protection clause. is it unconstitutional, discriminatory against gay citizens in same-sex marriages or partnerships if they can't have marriage as heterosexual couples understand. if they get to the-- >> if he they get to the equal protection, how do you get -- how does someone opposed to it get around equal? equal is equal. >> and even justice sotomayor, we-- >> she seem somebody to be based on someone in favor of same-sex marriage. but even she said if we find that marriage is a fundamental right where do we draw up the line and and we may have talked about this last night. she brought up incest and polygamy. >> greta: if you look the at the way that the law treats people and equal protection is different.

i guess it depends which way they approach it. >> and whether or not the case properly before them. the administration was on one side of the case and flipped, and obama administration said they wouldn't defend tthey're enforcing. and they called the former solicitor general to do the job for them. >> greta: and most people guess, guess, that we will get a decision on both cases in june before the term ends? >> there's a tiny possibility they would do that, discussion of that yesterday and we could find that out within days if they say it's not properly here. but i would guesstimate june. >> and send it back and it's all for naught. >> already argued. >> shannon, nice to see you. millions of men are celebrating and so are women. this is cable so the rules are looser when we tell you this next. ♪ oh, let's get it on ♪
