tell us about the app? >> steak time available on android and iphone. it automates if grilling process. we have all kind of tips there. >> that is incredible. >> alisyn: after the show' show with more. ♪ ♪ with support for the president's healthcare law sliding, the president starts flaming. >> may be shifting more cost through higher premiums. or higher deductibles. or higher co-pays. so folks could be feeling increased cost not for the fordable care act but it's passed on to workers. >> brenda: they are slamming back at the president saying the president's law is driving up prices. at a time when the economy desperately needs jobs to come back, is this any time for the president to be picking this
7:01 am
fight? i'm brenda buttner. we have our panel -- welcome to everybody. john layfield, the president putting the blame on employers. what say you? >> i say this is typical of politicians. this has gone on since andrew jackson and fdr. they find the business owner to blame. easiest thing in the world. you pass a law that is unfavorable. then you come in, they realize hey ,this is going to be free. it's not free. it will cost all of you. business owners saying if we have to pay extra $5,000 per employee, if we have 30 employees, $150,000 is all we make per restaurant that we have. they cannot afford it. what does the president do? he turns and blames the small business own they're creates 50% of the job. insane but typical politics. >> brenda: >> gary: bgary b., is itthe buse
7:02 am
healthcare law? >> the latter. i scratch my head on this. okay. the reason you are feeling the pinch is because the bad employers, the only ones we have out there creating jobs are passing the cost. where does he think the cost would go? they'd vanish? there is no extra cost to obamacare. the cbo said the affordable care act will cost the country 800,000 jobs. that was the original estimat estimate. we expect to cost jobs. loss of the job kick in as tem ployiers have the first goalpost if you will this coming january. this will hurt the economy. >> brenda: meredith, shouldn't they lift up the job creators? the recover is tepid. instead of beating them up?
7:03 am
>> this is unfortunate. the costs going up are the ones passed on to the employees as far as the obama articulated. you think he would have a concession for the small businesses. tax credit to mitigate the rising cost of obamacare. but effectively, costs are just rising. businesses are expected to eat it. until we have forced rule here. that is not going to -- it doesn't fly with businesses. >> brenda: toby, you are a small business owner. what do you say? >> if i follow everything the president told us. i didn't build the business. healthcare cost going up is my fault? if you want to inspire human beings to take the risk, put your money, your brain, your time, your home on the line, that is the way to inspire people.
7:04 am
this is more than shaking my head. he doesn't get this. if you pass this law, what else do i do? i absorb the cost? c'mon! >> brenda: jonas, do business owners deserve any blame in this? they are giving a tax deduction. if you give them more insurance -- >> you have to make money to pay taxes. this is better healthcare than most people have. it costs more on some issue -- >> i take wish that. >> more people have insurance than who had it before. the ample quality is higher. some see trimdown of the quality but most see italyal thing, kicking off the preexisting as more coverage. so people pay more, the employers pay more. taxpayers will pay more. that is how it will be shared. everyone is going to pay this
7:05 am
additional cost. have we seen the examples? >> that is the point of the discussion. we saw job figures out this week. they were okay. not great. like the ones for the last few months. retailers and restaurants were hiring the most. the government hired the least. that flies in what we talk about here. the government workers already get healthcare. they are on the union. the retailers have low coverage. why are they hiring more? the face of the regulation? >> brenda: john, take him on. >> they make plenty of money. >> of course they do. that is why they pay for free pizza for everybody. you have a business that is broken. a business that is full of fraud. where the owners are stealing from the clients. do you fix it or fix 30 more
7:06 am
people going to business and think my god, it will fix the business. that's what we did to healthcare. we have major healthcare problems. we did not reform it. we added 30 to 50 million more people to a brokebe system. all it can do is exacerbate this. that is what is happening and what costs business money. >> this will hurt the economy and hurt the job market you think? >> i think the economy is strong. this is hard to imagine it will impale the economy. but it's stagnate part of the economy. it makes it hard for everybody trying to do the best they can. make the margin. margins are squeezed in the first place. businesses have to make money. right? they don't get any hand-outs. the more your take the less they work with. >> free pizza for everybody. free pizza and beer. [ laughter ] >> that is how you get elec
7:07 am
elected. >> that was john's platform as a student body president. in college no doubt. >> the other thing, i want to go back. whattone was saying. about eating that. say thattone was magnanimous and he ate the costs. in obama's mind he thinks they vanished. tone has to eat the cost and he has less retained earnings the next year he can either then not grow grow the business, not expand or not hire. the costs don't go away away. they effect the economy in a negative way. i know my premiums will go up next year 50%. >> you are probably not one of the people getting better healthcare. there are people with no healthcare. >> we have 30 million people
7:08 am
uncovered. exact opposite of what they said would happen with obamacare. >> i'm not defending, just telling you how it work. that is the way we had it before it happened. >> if we had a system employers didn't pay for insurance at all and then they added this plan, yeah, it would destroy the job market. but we have had it for decades. int's marginal at this point, which is why to my opponent you see restaurant people hiring employees, even though they are going to be the one take on the brunt of this, to add the uninsured pem to the roles. >> brenda: public trust in white house is coming down. neil breaks it down at the bottom of the hour. but up here, first, not just the reporter e-mail. now we learn got officials are going through web mail and

they have released another man held. back to bulls and bears. i'm jamie colby. >> brenda: forget the justice department monitor reporter e-mail. they are tapping directly in the servers of the top internet company. to gain access to e-mail account overseas. this is as we hear the top white house officials. using sack ret e-mail account to conduct government business. >> we should have a segment entitled they don't get it. if you conduct business with a secret e-mail account you would be fired. why? there is no audit trail. say i work for the defense
7:14 am
department and i had a secret e-mail account where i was selling secrets to north koreans. guess what, i couldn't be caught. i go to the local starbucks and sign on. there is no audit trail. that is the problem with this. you can't find out who the wrong-doers are and when they are doing wrong things. this is unacceptable. >> brenda: the white house press secretary michael carneajay carneysaying having th profile officials makes imminent sense if they are inundated in one account with the public e-mail or spam or the like. they continue to use the other account for normal work. to beby? >> look. in a tub lick company, whether you are inundated with spam or other things you have to keep two year of e-mail. for security and compliance. other risk. why is it a public company is

7:16 am
while? >> but that is different, isn't it? >> yes, that is different. >> how? >> this is the freaking government. this is illegal to do this stuff. this isn't about your private e-mail on yahoo or g-mail. this is a secret e-mail. these guys understand, fast and furious comes out and the president says the first time i saw this was in the newspaper. tax deal comes out. targeting group. they know this government is more crooked than roller derby now. of course they are hiding e-mails. who can trust the guys? they can't trust themselves? >> brenda: roller derby is as straight as -- [ laughter ] >> i would have been champion of roller deerby. >> brenda: most corporations don't allow you to access yahoo, g-mail on the corporate, on the corporate hour or the corporate server but they have to protect their

house. so everything is audited. every business does this. not only auditing but reviewed by regulators. nothing should be sacrosanct as separate. it's not funny not for national security. anything beyond that seems like special treatment. >> what is the cost of this for us the taxpayers? >> there are many costs. you have cost i pointed out. national security is one. toby pointed out the cost of compliance. if someone negotiates through the secret e-mail, a deal to say listen, defense contractor bid this price. you didn't hear it through me. you heard it there secret e-mail account. you come and you have all of that shenanigans going on we can't track. this is the problem. it could be trillions in cost.
