7:00 pm
>> >> republicans want to party since 1995. >> 800,000 government workers furloughed. >> em barbarrassing reality, government shout down. how will america survive? >> it could put them at risk. >> it is pathetic. it is not responsible. >> nancy pelosi says it is cut to the bone. >> there are cuts more cuts to . >> the cupboard is bear? >> it is filled with stuff. >> government cupboards overflowed. i will show you what should be
7:01 pm
cut because so much of what government does is unnecessary. >> did you notice the government shut downs? >> no. i didn't notice anything. >> just shut it. that's our show. >> and now john stossel. >> just shut it? that's a rude idea so people tell me. most of the government continues to operate it. >> more people even politicians might realize, we don't need all of this stuff. america is going broke we have to cut it now permanently. i am probably dell lewding myself given what i read in the media and politicians but not from senator mike lee. you said you kick started the
7:02 pm
obama karimovment which led to the shut down and you are proud of it. you don't think this partial shut down is a bad thing? >> it is unfortunate we had to get to the shut down in the first place. we should never be in a position you have to fund all of government in order to fund any of government. it shouldn't be an all or nothing proposition. historically it hasn't been. for the last four and a half years we have been operating on the basis of continuing resolutions which is an all or nothing funding operation which kept the government running. it makes no sense to do it that way especially in a time we are extending government. it is hurting americans. >> i don't want to talk about
7:03 pm
the procedure tonight. you are saying it is not a teaching moment. people might wake up and say gee 3.7 trillion do we need to spend all that? >> it is a legitimate question when we look at the fact that we have nearly a quarter out of every dollar that moves through the american economy taken up by the federal government that is kind of a problem a big problem when you have people working months out of each year just to pay the federal taxes to say nothing of the tax burdens. the when government becomes this much of a part of this many people's lives we have good reason to worry about that. it ought to be an opportunity for us to examine the type we want. >> you are being trashed i think bernie gold burg is going to echo it saying it is still strategy you can't get rid of the affordable care act that has been passed. the president says it is the law that is passed the supreme court
7:04 pm
ruled it constitutional. it is settled it is here to stay. james madison said it is most important power we are giving to congress and if they pass a law they hadn't read nancy pelosi said they will have to pass it it seems reasonable congress should be able to say we have read it now we are not going to be able to fund this thing. >> first of all, they will remember there are lots of programs authorized that don't end up getting funded. it is not uncommon for congress to pass a law and not decide to fund it later. it is also important to remember when the president and others say this is the law so we have to follow it we have to fund it. that ignores the fact that the president is refusing to fund the law and repeatedly rewritten the law without constitutional authority to do that. the as to the supreme couuphold
7:05 pm
it. >> they have the shrinking government anything that is noticeable during the shut down and hype it. >> how would a shut down affect you? even the national zoo would close. >> the statue of liberty would have a closed sign. the last time that happened is because of a hurricane. this time because of republican ideology. >> about a month ago a baby panda was born at the zoo. they will slash the zoo's operation by puts the panda at risk. >> they oppose any effort to shrink or control the growth of government. there are a few exceptions. i am happy you are helping us have the conversation with the american people. the american people overall understand one thing clearly which is obama care is putting them in a great state of uncertainty with regard to their job security. i have to ask the question how many more americans will have to lose their jobs or have the hours cut or have their wages
7:06 pm
slashed or lose access to health insurance as 20,000 home depot employees recently did. they will step in and protect them from the law. >> here is one thing that is valid criticism. it is totally wrong. >> they act like they are bold people they will cut the government. you know what? this is 2k3w09ment. most of it goes to defense medicaid and social security these big tough guys have not put any of the items on the table. you big tough guy i think he has a point. >> it is important we emphasize in obama care we have an enormous amount of mandatory spending entitlement spending that is about to kick in. this is another increase. another turn in the one way ratchet of expanding government
7:07 pm
that is about to kick in. that's what we are trying to prevent is expanding our entitlement state that already many are saying is unsustainable as it already is even before they get to obama care. the least we can do to protect the american people is to protect them from more expansion of more governments we can't afford. >> thank you senator lee. >> now i am told shutting down government is perfect for the economy not paying government workers chopped something off of gdp. government workers are the customers of every business in this country. the economists say the opposite is true. the shut down could be good for america. >> let's get perspective here. if this he laid off workers and toys and happy meals we wouldn't say mcdonald shut down.
7:08 pm
the u.s. government hasn't shut down when people get their paychecks the irs is stealing some of the wages. i got frisked to see you by the tsa. the nsa is probably still listening to our phone calls and this is hardly a shut down. >> it is a step in that direction especially if the public realizes their life didn't change that much. maybe we can make this shut down permanent. >> president owe combam ma says we need to do that helping farmers make a modest prophet. >> farmers should be able to make the profit otherwise they shouldn't be farmers. the short term people are going to have adjustments. they got out of this line people would adjust them and rely on
7:09 pm
themselves through voluntary transactions not the government to get things done. >> last time the government shut down bother parties agreed it was a terrible thing. >> never ever shut the government down. >> they applauded. >> of course the government doesn't like the government to shut down. because we realize the busy bodies and petty tie ants aren't necessary for our daily lives. the longer it goes on the mourn americans willic with a up to that fact. that is bad for republicans and democrats. >> the stock market did fine this time there hasn't been a crash. >> we have a big intrusive government this shrinks it that should be gad for the economy and the stock market. >> earlier this year the see quester cut 5 percent from
7:10 pm
discretionary spending. politicians screamed it would be terrible. >> hurting military xhaunities, hurting middle class families our children, our seniors people who can least support it. the this is what the so-called see quester means. >> if you are watching this show, can you think of one thing in your life that changed after the seek quest sec quester. the other thing you are not noticing is it's not extra debt the government will ring up out of your paychecks. >> i got excited about the lack of extra debt. thought that was a wonderful thing. i thought they were declaring bankruptcy. i was a fool, too. here is a video from the peterson foundation sawing that. >> over the next few decades. >> we are clearly heading toward a crisis.
7:11 pm
>> surely it changed the picture more excitedly. >> the seek quester barely makes any difference at all. delays bankruptcy a little. >> we need to make much bigger cuts. there is nothing left to cut. no, there's plenty left to cut. entirely eliminate the deficit would be returning to a budget in reterms about the size it wa when clinton left office. this is entirely an error of government. >> none of them seem to want to talk about entitlements. >> it is putting the fiscal house in order. >> 70 some americans suppose this shut down. >> if i could carry it. >> it is give shut down a chance. >> if americans get used to the fact that they don't negatively
7:12 pm
impact their lives hopefully they go in november direction and realize we should shut down government not just a little bit. >> i look at grief totally in the tank. only after riots and months did they do things like reduce, required every business severance pay to one full year. it is trivial. how about we stop collect can taxes or giving liability for taxes and then we will see how popular the shut down gets. >> that is not going to happen. they are going to collect taxes. >> thank you ben powell at the independent institute. i heard this partial shut down he kroo ates hardship in washington, d.c. let's not forget the political class has been doing very well.
7:13 pm

government. it has to be tough because the media loves big government. they tell us to shut down threatens our fragile economy. there is nothing partisan will trashing selfish extremists that suit down our government. some say the mejia hates republicans that is true they have a slobbering love affair with barack obama. that's the title of bogoldberg' last book. bernie, i think the media have a bigger love affair with government. >> it was nice writing. here's the thing. >> liberals in the media do love
7:29 pm
big government. >> the media in general because it is it is much harder happening every where. >> here is what easy to cover in a shut down. you do the predictable cliche mandatory stories about how the panda cam has been taken off-line. we knew we were going to do that. it is a much bigger hand the scenes story that the mainstream media i am talking mostly about television isn't covered. why is president obama being so ob stan nent, why is he being so uncompromising. i think it is because he is the one who wants the shut down. i think he is the one who is rooting for chaos. he is the one who understands
7:30 pm
according to all of the polls who will get the lion's share of the blame this is his only way his own hope of winning the house in 2014. then he could fulfill his campaign promise and these are his words, not mine, to fundamentally transform the united states of america. those are my opinions. >> i don't hear any reporting on it. that's true. i don't hear reporting on how congress exempted itself from obama care. >> that's my point. that's my point venlt we will do the easy story about yosemite and the shut down. it is a much more important story that goes to the reason we have a shut down. the shut down is only part one. the president has already indicated he is going to be uncompromising about the much more serious national debt show down that is coming.
7:31 pm
look, if i were still a hard news reporter i would go out and find serious political thinkers who are nonpartisan and say you think the president is doing this for political gain? is he willing to throw the american people and the american economy under the bus so he could win the house next year. i think those are legitimate questions. >> i don't think he would be under the bus as we will have chaos as the shut down continues. who knows the majority may be right. one thing that is different is we have alternative media. last shut down we didn't have fox or rush report, reason, bright guard, the blaze. much more, talk radio, twitter, facebook. this if terrible things don't happen and people say ho hum, where are we spending so much on government might be different this time. >> that's right. it might be different because even though i haven't seen in the hard news coverage any -- or at least not much blatant bias.

>> you can gibl about income you can look at the discussions or didn't decline in most terms nationwide. the gap there about 30 percent greater than the rest of the country shows you that it isn't just washing toen is richer than the rest of the country it is getting richer every year. they like to talk about gaps all of the time the one percent the 99 percent the achievement gap. here is a gap getting bigger all of the time. >> washington and the rest of america. >> maybe you guys are just smarter and more educated. >> we would like to think that. there are brilliant sign tigss wo -- scientists working in washington not that they are making huge salaries. they are not making bill gates salaries. it is just that all government salaries are pretty good and if you look at comparable levels in education then you find on average federal salaries and

7:48 pm
>> democrats want to spend. i am wrong if i think republicans want to cut. they say they want to cut. they never say what they are going to cut. that is the thing. >> since republican leadership since george w. bush through mitt romney they have been running and campaigning against specific spending cuts not for specific spending cuts. compassionate conservative was all about creating medicare parts d the biggest entitlement since lyndon b. johnson. he never said what he was going to cut. >> even in an off the record fundraiser he still said i can't tell you why. >> he agrees like karl rove for a long time if you mention what you are going to cut you will lose the election. they are tear fied. karl rote this january after the fiscal cliff deal he said republicans should only back
7:49 pm
cuts that way we could say it's barack obama's fault. that's where the republican leadership has been for the last few years. >> while a lot benefit from cuts none of them really care about the cut but the person who gets cut will fight you to the death. >> yes, which is a specific problem. also i think republicans have lost the feeling that the moral arguments making people free or more prosperous by getting people off their backs by spending less money in washington that was a project democrats and republicans were part of in the 1970s and republicans in the 80s. they feel they may lose the election. >> he dagave a telling answer h became speaker of the house. brian williams asked him this. >> do you consider the defense budget sake dread? do you -- >> do you consider the homeland security budget thing?

they will talk about food stamps instead. they don't like welfare when it goes to four people they like it when it goes to rich people. that is terrible politic and terrible policies. >> terrible politics because when they bash food stamps i would think they want to avoid ads like this one. any politician would want to avoid the cut. when they do opponents go after them with sleazy ads like this one. misleading ads. the person behind the wheelchair pushing granny off the cliff was meant to resemble congressman ryan. >> one is we have got all of us are being pushed off a fiscal cliff at this point. we have entitlements running over us like a steam roller. they made a miss step. they didn't make a long series
