standstill. even president obama's motorcade got stuck. in the end a runer from ethiopia won the men's race and an army captain from colorado won the women's race, congratulations. >> on capitol hill, health and human services secretary kathleen sebelius preparing to take face some very tough questioning about the healthcare rollout there are growing number of lawmakers from the both sides of the aisle either calling for her resignation or want her held accountable for what went wrong. >> if she cannot re-organize to get a team in consistently to meet his agenda, then she shouldn't be there, and right now, when she says she at any time know, why didn't she know that the president's signature legislation was in fact in trouble? >> no dowd there should shoo be accountable, anybody who got paid by the taxpayer, whether it's the private contractors, whether it's the health agency personnel, or a member of congress who are responsible for
12:42 pm
the oversight of this plan, everyone should be accountable. >> let's turn to a senior political columnist for the "washington car cpaer." send bowlus has had three and a half years to set up the web site. she spent up to $600 million of taxpayer money. that's what a congressman told me yesterday. and the whole thing doesn't work. is this wednesday's hearing shaping up to be a political bludgeoning when sebelius testifies? >> yeah, and these hearings mostly are about congressmen trying to score points and hope that they end up getting their sound bite on tv. and rarely do we learn sort of meaningful things, especially from the second one of these. i have trouble believing that this really was an easy job that sebelius thought, and it could have been, and i talked to a lot of people who work on these issues. the whole assignment, what congress and obama told kathleen sebelius to do, was something
12:43 pm
that was effectively impossible to do in this time frame. so we don't know if she handled it badly or it was too big. >> she was absolutely savaged on saturday night live last night, and today senator john rosso, who is also a doctor, said she the laughing stock of america. given all of that, wouldn't republicans be better off if she is not fired, as long as she is around she is arguably the symbol of incompetence hanging around the neck of president obama? >> and even more so just from a political angle, it seems that if republicans have a goal of either winning in 2014 or of undoing a lot of or all of obamacare, then if obama is able to say, the problem was this one secretary and we got rid of her and the problem is solved, that makes it harder for hem to make the case that the problem is the law. the problem is this administration. so, just firing sebelius, if that's what republicans are going for, that could end up
12:44 pm
backfiring politically for them. >> look at this fox news poll. half of the voters believe somebody should be fired over this. a lot of then probably think sebelius. that would week ago. the numbers will likely grow day by day, and it looks like sebelius is already already been fired, fired from overseeing this thing. jeffrey zients, the fixer, has been brought in. my betes she notice allow today get within miles of this. >> i think the administration will remove her from public view, and zients gives off an air of confidence, intelligence. i have a colleague at the washington examiner who was on a conference call with him and said comparing the two, sebelius and zients, it was night day. when zients is talking you think, this is a guy who might actually be able to solve this difficult problem. he has the same attitude as --
12:45 pm
valerie jarrett is another person that gives off the air, and sebelius doesn't carry herself that way. >> the web site debacle may be only the tip of the iceberg here. half of the 14 million americans who have individual policies with insurance carriers are getting cancellation notices because of obamacare. lit'll lay says because of obamacare. then you have millions seeing the huge premium increases, 100%, even "the new york times" this last week, front page story, the president's promise of lower prices has failed in many places. is this just the beginning and if the anger continues to escalate, where does this go? >> yes, the web site is one small part of what could be the major problem of obamacare. the biggest problem is when it comes very clear that obama was not telling the truth when he said, if you like your plan, you can keep it. a lot of people had plans they liked that are getting cancelled or the price is getting much bigger. then there's the problem that insurance is often very
12:46 pm
expensive and obama has made it sound like under his affordable care act it would not be expensive. so when he hasn't delivered on the promise of affordability and you being able to keep your plan, that is when you might get serious anger, much more than the idea that the web site doesn't work. >> democratic senators, they sent a letter to the white house demanding delays in obamacare. and in retrospect, does it now look regretable, if not foolish, for the president and democrats to have rejected an offer to delay to end the government shutdown? >> it will be very difficult to explain why is it okay to delay when jean shaheen says it but not when john boehner says it. the obvious answer is just partisanship, and the shutdown fight was the president trying to score political points and not give the republicans any points. and then when we see the president is playing politics over this, while he is accusing republicans of playing politics,
12:47 pm
this will blow back and lower a lot of people's opinion of president obama. the alternative is the web site gets up and running and more people find cheap insurance than are driven out of their current insurance. so if obamacare works, he needs it to work and it's out of his hands. >> she sure dis. tim carney, washington examiner. good to see you. a bombshell new ruling in the trial of an accused doctor in utah. accused of killing his wife. why the couple's 12-year-old daughter may become the star witness for the prosecution. our legal panel weighs in.
12:50 pm
12:51 pm
first, a judge ruled that the couple's 12-year-old daughter can at her father's trial, likely against him. this comes as the doctor's former mistress and family nanny took the witness stand for the first time called by prosecutors. take a listen. >> i think that was in january of 2006. >> how often were the two of you having sexual relations. >> we would see each other a couple times a month. there were months when we didn't see each other. it was a casual thing. it was when ever we had time and it could be arranged. i think we probably had sex half the time. sometimes it was just lunch. >> just lunch. not sex. the defense attorney and former prosecutor joins us and david wohl is an attorney. her name is gypsy jillian willis, the doctor's lover. is that the motive in the
12:52 pm
case? >> this has provided motive. the scott peterson's case is a prime example. there is evidence that bolstered the affair serving as a motive for murder. in this case, it doesn't exist. they find the body of this man's wife submerged in a bathtub with her clothes on. if you are going to stage a murder, that doesn't sound like a way they will make it look like a natural accident or suicide. it doesn't seem to exist in this case. it is an uphill battle for the d.a. >> gypsy willis tried to downplay on the witness stand, it is just casual sex. sometimes we had lunch. but the record suggests otherwise, say prosecutors. the time frame for this next bit of testimony we will show to our viewers right now is just one month before the doctor's wife died. take a listen. >> so in march you are texting and calling more and you moved to lehigh and providing
12:53 pm
housing and gives you a credit card and helping with schooling. >> yeah, he is helping. >> she spoke on the phone with the defendant twice in the hours before michelle mcneil was allegedly murdered and they texted each other 30 times. that's pretty incriminating of the doctor, isn't it? >> it is, but, you know, i have to agree that i think the prosecution has been uphill battle here. here is the reason why. jurors have shown time and again that they bt do -- they don't believe if they are an adulterer that they are a murderer. you don't want to present evidence that raises more questions than answers. does the guy wake up and say i have a wife and a mistress and i need to further complicate my life with a murder trial? what is the reason to escalate this and inject all of this? they have a difficult time trying to prove that. >> what about jurors that begin to hate the defendant for other reasons?
12:54 pm
the testimony is that these two, the lover and the defendant are texting each other during the funeral, at the luncheon after the funeral and one of the daughters says he is cracking jokes and laughing about being single again. that's his own daughter who sees him do this and testifies against him. that's not a grieving husband, is it? >> well, he is a cad, certainly, but it doesn't make him a murderer. the same thing happened in the peterson case, but it didn't work. the root of the problem for the prosecutor rtz autopsy. the autopsy said she died of hyper tension and heart-related problems and multiple toxicity related to drugs in her system, but they do not say it is a homicide. they said it was a natural death. that's a killer, so to speak, for the prosecution. >> the lover moves in with him immediately after the wife dies and plays nanny to the kids, but she is really not
12:55 pm
taking care of the kids. she is taking care of him, if you know what i mean. the 12-year-old daughter is going to be now giving limited testimony. she was only 6 years old when she found her mother's body in the bathtub and her memories have been tainted and unduly influenced. is that a smart move to put her on the stand? >> i actually don't think it is a smart move. i look at her if i am the defense as the gift that keeps giving. the judge ruled her memory is tainted as a result of discussions she had with her sister. the recollection she has of seeing her mother's body was six years ago. the interview that she did with the justice center was four years ago. if i am the defense i say there is no such thing as partially tainted. you are fully tainted. does anybody want a bill gulp of partially tainted anything? why do the sympathy ploy of bringing a baby to come in? really the achilles heel is not just the fact that it doesn't say inñr the medical report he killed the wife, but the fact it shifted from
12:56 pm
natural causes to undetermined, there is too much uncertainty that equals what? reasonable doubt. not a good move. >> 10 seconds, do you agree with that? >> i agree with that and a 12-year-old coming in this thing can only testify. she is limited to testifying as to what she saw when she discovered her mom in the bathtub. that is no help to the d.a. i see this as a not guilty verdict. >> all right, we will wait and see. two of the best, thanks for being with us. >> thank you. >> and that's it for now. i'm greg jarrett. thanks for being with us. "a healthy you" with carol alt is coming up next. have a great sunday and a great week coming up. rol
1:00 pm
