tv Hannity FOX News September 6, 2013 9:00pm-10:01pm PDT
9:00 pm
as well and you can to go my website for the latest cultural and political recaps. thanks for watching. i'm in for bill o'reilly. please rememtops right here because we're always looking out for you. welcome to a s of "hannity." for the entire hour, i'll be joined in my studio audience by a bipartisan group of college students and recent grads from all over the country. exactly half of them are republicans. the other seven bravely identified themselves believe it or not as liberal democrats. over the next 60 minutes we'll tackle the hot button issues facing the country from the economy, health care, foreign policy and much more. no subject off limits. so let me welcome our audience. the world will be yours pretty soon. let's start with president obama. how many think the president is
9:01 pm
done, he is in his fifth year, a good job. hands up. one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. how many think he's done a poor job? seven. right along ideological lines. how many think health care is a good thing for the country, obamacare as it is presently -- same seven. against -- let me play a clip. i think this really touches on where you guys are. this is obama talking about the debt and deficit. let's roll the tape. >> we're starting to get health care costs under control. we'll still have to make some modifications when it comes to long term entitlement programs so that they're there for young people here when they are ready for retirement. but we don't have an urgent deficit crisis. the only crisis we have is one that's manufactured in washington and it is ideological. >> we don't have an urgent deficit crisis.
9:02 pm
how many agree with that? 16.7 trillion in debt, $90 trillion in unfunded liabilities, and guess who is going to pay it all off. liz, let's talk to you. >> i'm really disappointed in the president, especially on the issue of obamacare. he said that it would decrease costs and actually, uva this year, my school this past week they came out and said that actually next year they'll have to cut $7.3 million from the uva health insurance plan because of the increased costs that come with implementing obamacare. so i'm pretty outraged that this thing that the president and congress promised would be beneficial to americans and help to decrease health care costs, are actually increasing it. and the burden of this huge debt will be on our generation. >> a democrat, notre dame. how did you ever get to notre dame? >> i worked really hard in high school. and they accepted me. >> that proves my principle as a
9:03 pm
conservative. hard work, individual responsibility, don't rely on others. >> i rely on a lot of people. my parents, my school. it takes a village to raise a child. can i respond to what she said? the thing is, the right now we're seeing the lowest health care costs increases in a very long time. but you have fonds a lot of the -- >> what do you mean the lowest? no. california is going up 164%. we have ohio, his state is going up 80% health care costs. florida is going up 40%. there are only four states that will see a decrease. the president said everybody would see a $2,500 decline. >> the thing about that is everyone, so throws the biggest states you're talking about that are having a decrease but health care costs are still rising. hopefully with the pilot projects through medicare and a lot of the demonstration to change the delivery of thirk promote quality over quantity, we're going to see much lower health care costs. >> but the president promised you that you would pay $2,500
9:04 pm
less per family. that is not true. does that bother you? >> i think with that health care costs will increase but they're going much slower because of obamacare. it is not going to go down precipitously. >> yes. you wanted to weigh in. >> the affordable care act as i call it, i do believe that it is helping us. right? i know as a young person, i am still benefiting from being on my parents' insurance. and i feel like we concentrate on what it is not doing. it is really good to focus on cost effectiveness as has been mentioned about what is lowering and what is going up and increasing but that i think another idea is that it hasn't been fully implemented yet. we're jumping the gun when talking about stuff. >> let's go over here. >> back to that clip, we were talking about the deficit crisis and the debt crisis. if i'm not mistaken cbo reported that obamacare would add $1.5 trillion to the debt in the next ten years. so that's as of right now, over
9:05 pm
53,000 per citizen to pay off that debt. that's not even taxpayers, plus $27,000 in debt that we have from school. >> this president said about the debt. when he was running for office. we have a 10 trillion debt. that's irresponsible. that's reckless. he has given $7 million more to the crisis. >> you're a democrat from harvard. he goes up $7 trillion. whose fault is that? >> republicans are pointing at obamacare as the driver of this debt. obamacare reduces our debt. you can look at the cbo. it speaks obamacare -- >> what, do you remember how much the president said obamacare would cost when he sold it to the country? >> 900 billion. >> right number. who that? dwlung the latest estimate is? $2.8 trillion. name me one governmental program that doesn't cost more than what they project it as. can you? >> go ahead.
9:06 pm
university of california berkeley. i won't ask where you are on this. >> i think this debate is quite in its place. this is a republican plan coming from a republican think tank that is supported by a majority of republicans as long as the term obama is not actually tied to it. >> this bill passed, remember scott brown was elected? wasn't he supposed to be the 41st vote? they passed it just before christmas in the dark of night. they used reconciliation process. not one republican voted for it. how do you call it a republican plan? >> if you look at the latest poll from reuters, they show 78% of republicans support banning insurance company from denying your coverage based on preexisting conditions. 80% of republicans support the insurance exchanges that president obama is setting up and 86% of republicans -- >> do you think republicans want -- >> 86% of republicans support making sure insurance company -- >> you don't like republicans, do you? >> make smurg insurance company can't deny you coverage.
9:07 pm
>> do you think republicans want grandma to die? remember the ad with paul ryan purk granny over the cliff? president obama said republicans, their plan is for dirty air and dirty water. do you think we want grandma to die and want dirty water? >> what i do know is that this plan is already making sure that more americans have health insurance. there are more people that have health insurance now because of president obama's plan. >> but you're going to pay for it. >> 16.7 trillion in debt. $7 trillion is obama. you're going to pay the rest of your life paying for that. >> it bothers you. why? in the back. >> it shows how irresponsible the government is heading and i think we need to take measures to stop that. to stop that. why is this debt being placed on our burden and our children's and our children's children's burden? >> i will tell you, you will work your entire lives paying this back. >> i want to hear from republicans in this room. if they think that the way in which congress has been acting, refusing to act, making every opportunity to change this
9:08 pm
country and block every time when you have obamacare, republicans are saying that not all republicans. >> i'm a registered conservative. >> the house is threatening to shut down the government so that obamacare -- the affordable care action. >> defun obamacare and fund the rest of the government. >> and shut down the government. >> whoa! >> that would be -- if they pass and fund the rest of the government but obamacare, that means the military, our debt, our obligation, social security, medicare, all paid for exempt obamacare. the democrats would shut it down. >> we were talking about the federal sunset the deficit. but it is a fact that under obama, the deficit had decreased as a percentage of gdp more than any other time in the last 60 years. >> not true. >> yes, it is. from 2009 to 2012, it has gone from more than 10% to decreased until -- >> what are they teaching you? >> that's the largest decrease in 60 years. >> in terms of a deficit, it is
9:09 pm
because obama raised debt his first year. it was 10.7 gdp in 2009. this year 7.7%. he could say he reduced his own deficit if that's where we want to go. but in terms of a congress, i want to get back to that. right after fourth of july, obama administration whose treasury department unilaterally delayed employer mandate, and then congress went in and wanted to actually legally authorize the president to do and it the president called it unnecessary. >> what other option is there? i've heard a lot of people talk about the free market. but the free market has no safety net. it has absolutely no form, excuse me, i'm talking. please let me finish. >> if i'm in charge of my own money, i feel like i'm responsible. i know what i want to do with my money than someone else that doesn't know what i'm doing in my every day life. >> do you know of any government in the world that does that? >> we'll come back. we have to um... where's mrs. davis? she took an early spring break
9:10 pm
thanks to her double miles from the capital one venture card. now what was mrs. davis teaching? spelling. that's not a subject, right? i mean, spell check. that's a program. algebra. okay. persons a and b are flying to the bahamas. how fast will they get there? don't you need distance, rate and... no, all it takes is double miles.

9:14 pm
liabilities. it is unsustainable. you've all studied math. you all went to good colleges. you have to balance this. help me out between paying all that money back and getting the government you say you want that you believe in. >> i want to say one thing about how our country has been run in the last five years. so first of all, we were hit by the great recession. so when you are hit by a great reselling, the worst thing to do is have an austerity plan. >> according to whom in. >> 101 economics. you have to invest in the economy. the surplus -- >> what about the stimulus? did that create jobs? >> it created 3.5 million jobs. noncongressional budget analysis. without the stimulus, it wouldn't have been a recession. it would have been a depression. >> we have the lowest participation rate. of all the jobs, 70% of them are part-time jobs that paid minimum wages. >> the democrats are in favor of
9:15 pm
that. >> many employers to get out of requirements of the law are taking people who are full time and making them part time. >> exactly. >> that is unfortunate. i would like to weigh in. thank you for bringing that up, princeton. it is unfortunate when you see private institutions trying to get around these regulations that are clearly designed to help the working class. i think that president obama has proposed an extremely reasonable plan of debt reduction that involves cuts to spending but what president obama and the democratic party are not willing to do is balance the budget on the backs of the poor and the working class. >> can i ask you a question? you say this and i'm listening with fascination. he is the only president to ever give us a trillion-dollar debt in one year -- a deficit in one year. >> george w. bush. >> no, his last year was $458 billion. and not only did he do it once, he did it four time. he is almost, by the time he leaves office, he will have doubled the debt this country
9:16 pm
has. he was complaining about $10 trillion. now it is $17 trillion. how do you say he is making deficit reduction? >> i think one thing we have to keep in mind when president obama tack office in 2008 after eight years of kind of shaky economic policies under george w. bush, we saw an economy in -- >> five years later you're going to blame bush? he's had five years to fix this. five years! >> we were losing jobs at a rate of 750,000 a month. >> look, berkeley. this was the worst economic crisis since the great depression. of course it will take longer than five years. we've come a really long way. we started at a peak of 10.1% unemployment. we're down to 7.4 -- >> let me give you some other numbers. economic number. we have doubled the number of americans on food staches. we have more people on welfare than we've ever had since the great depression. we have the lowest labor participation rate that we've ever had. and you're telling never economy
9:17 pm
is better. we have one in five children in american children in poverty. >> first of all, why are republicans then saying that we should be cutting $20 billion in food stamps? why are they saying we should be cutting -- >> here's a republican right here. >> okay. do you want to answer that? >> i have to say two things. you say of course it will take more than five and a half years. obama said if he didn't have it done in four years, he wouldn't run for a second term. unfortunately he didn't cash in on that. second of all, i want to shout out to ohio here. governor john kasich turned an $8 billion deficit into a 1.87 billion surplus. unemployment since he took office went from 9 to 7.2% which is below the national average. and people are still trying to give credit to obama for that. >> i was going to point out that under governor jerry brown, 26 billion deficit in california turned into a budget surplus.
9:18 pm
no one expected that. except californians were able to pass a tax increase on themselves to fund education. >> so a 40% top rate nationally for income tax. california is tulane%. california is 13.5%. so that raises an important question that we'll ask in the next segment. how much is attach to pay in taxes? taxes? we'l ready to run your lines? okay, who helps you focus on your recovery? yo, yo, yo. aflac. wow.

but when you're dealing with a government that costs trillion to fund, one penny out of every dollar amounts to huge sums of money that to go benefit poor people. >> but it meenls you don't have to pay this money back throughout your entire working life. >> the issue with your plan you is don't take inplaying the into account. >> sure it does. >> you say one penny. but that's not taking inflation into account. that's usually what paul ryan does and things like that. >> you're missing the whole point. if you're not willing to cut a penny out of every dollar. >> i don't think it should have to be that way. i don't think it should be that students are forced to drop out of college because they can't pay for it. >> one penny? out of every dollar? >> i'm saying we need to put more money into students loans and obamacare. it makes economic sense. if you fund student loans more than we're doing now. if you had lowered the student loan rate rather than raising it as republican wanted to do, these people would be higher

social issues, how many of you favor boring on demand? i said abortion on demand. relax. >> i favor a woman' right to make medical decisions about her own body and i believe that that particular decision should be left between a doctor -- >> and the federal government should have no right to tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her body. >> i think the government should protect that right as it was laid out in roe versus wade. >> but the government can step in, eight months into pregnancy and prevent that? >> after a certain point it is not safe -- >> what point? >> for that procedure to be done. >> i'm not a doctor yet so i don't know but talk to me in a couple years. >> at some point would you say that baby, if a baby is viable? does that baby deserve protection? life, liberty, pursuit of happiness? >> i think what we need to talk about here is why this is such a difficult issue. it is the balance between what some see -- >> i said if the baby is viable, it can live alone outside the

womb. >> you call it a baby and i call it a fetus. you call it a baby with constitutional rights. >> at eight months we know the child inside a woman's body is viable. it can live outside the womb. at that time if a woman chooses to go into an abortion clinic, are you okay with that? >> that's a completely unrealistic scenario. no one is getting an boring at eight months. >> it happens. no, it happens. >> none of us have the right to judge. >> we can walk back. is three months the cut-off point? one month? >> what is scary is seeing that a lot of people in congress and the government are saying that boring completely should become illegal. when you say that kind of thing, you are restricting somebody's possible of having their own body -- >> no restrictions. ninl months into a pregnancy, a woman could have an abortion. >> that's different. when i hear -- >> so a government over snowe when i hear members of congress, women had a take birth control, i've heard that from --

9:55 pm
i definitely do not think people understand what it means to be privileged country based on your race. i mean privileged beyond just white privilege. privilege across the board. >> yeah. go ahead. >> i think that as an immigrant to the united states, i believe in hard work that you put in and it will reflect your character. when i'm walking down the street, it's a different relationship i have with different people. at the end of the day, i'm working hard and getting ahead. based on my work and not relying on others. >> can i say something about stop and frisk. i grew up in the city. new york city. i have a lot of friends who are african-american and they are stopped by cops. one of my friends stopped over 200 times in four years. this is the kind of thing you cannot ignore as a new yorker. the fundamential issue that in this country about race. thank god that the stop and frisk was considered
