10:02 am
delayed. republican leaders are growing confident that it the law will collapse under its own weight. rnc chair saying that obama care is the gift that keeps on giving for the gop. we don't need to connect the dots. when somebody is getting a cancellation notice you don't need the rnc making that it case. it is made in the living rom and kitchen table. katy is a fox news contributor. good to see you. >> good afternoon. does he have a point in there is more trouble to come with obama care, and that trouble is going to be long lasting, do you believe that there is legitimacy to the claim, katy?
10:03 am
or is he fluffing up to psyche out the democrat voting base or both? >> i would agree with the chairman that obama care speaks for itself. people know how they feel when they get a cancellation letter and trying to provide health care and looking forward to a surgery that they can't have because of obama care. the rnc doesn't have to it make that case. but obama care might collapse on its own weight, but republicans have to have something to fix all of the bureaucracy and legislation that we have sewn. it is not just democrats, but the republicans have to come forward with something. and now look at slewings to bring your cost down. >> and we know that 48 million americans searching for quality insurance coverage. and katy, have you sewn any indication from the republican
10:04 am
party that they do have slowings in their back pocket? >> we have sewn a couple of bills running a round on capitol hill. they are trying to delay the penalties that we are going to so next year for people who don't have health insurance. in terms of coming up with a system that is before, we all agree that health care was not perfect and it does have to be a free market solution and it is time to talk about tort reform and putting something forward saying that the government is getting out of the way and putting my health insurance in my open hands. >> is the government going to it continue to get in its own way? isn't that the problem where we sit now. guys and women in washington can't so many to agree on anything? >> it goes back to the idea that republicans from the beginning said obama care needs to be
10:05 am
repealed and the problem from the obama administration and democrats in the senate and now house as well, they kind of want to fix it without taking the system away and starting over. just two weeks ago, 40 or 70 percent of healthcare.gov is not built yet. people are required to have insurance or pay a fine and in addition, we have sewn economist said 100 million people could lose insurance once the employer man date goes in affect and that's when the democrats will panic. president obama said if you like your plan you can cope it. >> katy, let me get one final question for you. would you say that the controversy and confusion surrounding obama care is an indictment on democrats or big government as a whole. >> i think it is both. you know, the democrats are in
10:06 am
trouble here because they are voting for it and obama is running on it. and this is what happens when the government tries to take over a sixth of the economy and tries to build an economy. it doesn't work and it hasn't in the past and will not work in the future. >> thank you very much. happy thanksgiving. >> when you sit down for turkey and mashed potatoes, a show down is loom nothing congress about the prees of your food. law makers have not passed the new farm bill and if they don't do it before january 1st, you could pay more for next year's thanksgiving dinner. they join us in washington. steve. what could cause those food prices to soar? >> greg, if there is no farm bill an outdated agricultural law from the 1940s could kick in and that could drive milk prices
10:07 am
up to $8 a gallon. the government would be forced to buy milk on high production cost. the farmer ares would sell milk to the government and that creates's shortage for everyone else and drive prices higher and could happen for other food products because congress has yet to pass the farm bill that is one year over dow, greg. >> what are the prospects for passing a farm bill this year sometime? >> they are not looking good right now and the sticking point is food stamps, providing food to lower income families. republicans want to cut the program and the democrats want less than 5 billion in cuts. >> i am willing to negotiate and compromise and as long as hunger is not worse in america.
10:08 am
you can't get a farm bill passed without an adequate nutrition title. none republican is still hopeful, listen. >> i think it is normal to have tensions, and angst any time an author otherwised bill comes to the end. >> the differences between the house and senate, so far they have not reached a compromise. >> thank you so much, stove. >> and so the thanksgiving holiday is more of a mall- away as more retailers open the doors to all of the shoppers and hoping to get a jump. some chains renows and saying it would ruin thanksgiving for their employees. brian is here with more. >> happy thanksgiving. >> happy gray thursday that's what some people are calling

11:03 am
many of them today already are served using agents and brokers. there's a particular mechanism that we have outlined today in many cases is something that is very familiar with the small business community and something that we'll work for them. >> the problem here is that small businesses aren't required to provide health care to the workers, so encouraging them to do so, making it easier for them to do so is very important to the obama administration. >> wendell goler, thank you very much. happy thanksgiving to you. >> thank you. well, democrats certainly have a lot riding on obama care as they head into the 2014 elections, and as polls show that americans have lost confidence in the press, some members of his own party are really keeping their distance. susan -- chief executive of the washington examiner. i was just looking at a couple of polls, our own polls, fox news polls.
11:04 am
a majority think the president lied deliberately about, you know, the whole notion of keeping your health care plan and your doctor and so forth. 60% said they think the administration knew all along that millions of americans were going to lose their health care plans. there's a question of trust that has now substantially englished where, with the elections coming up now, are democrats abandoning the president? >> slowly will you start to see that happen. right now i think they're still holding out hope that the health care law will look better over time to consumers, that the website issues will be resolved, and they're hedging their bets a little bit. they're still saying, hey, let's try to fix this thing, and they're getting behind it for the most part. as time goes on we'll see what happens, if the health care law is not looking better for consumers, if the website is not fixed substantially in the coming year, you're going to see democrats start to -- more
11:05 am
democrats to start to call for delays and other changes to the law because they need to save themselves. there are a lot of really vulnerable democrats. at least ten competitive senate races next year. the republicans need only six seats to win the majority. they're going to be really trying to save their own skin as we go into the new year and as it relates to the health care law. it's all going to hinge on whether these repairs really are mated by the obama administration and whether the plans are starting to look affordable and accessible to consumers. >> right. >> you talk to a lot of lawmakers. that's your job. are they stunned at the turn of events here? >> that's what i see. members look shell shocked to me. especially in october they were getting behind the health care law. they were criticizing republicans for their attempts to delay it. remember, the big government shutdown was all about delaying the health care law. they're walking around now looking like what just happened?
11:06 am
they were expecting this health care roll-out to go a lot more smoothly, and they were expecting the promises made by the obama administration to hold true, so a lot of them are saying, hey, we're not going to walk the plank on thing thing for the president. if this doesn't get resolved, don't expect us to stand by it because, let's face it, their re-election prospects really are going to hinge on the health care law. republicans are already running campaign ads based on this and they're just going to started drilling in on it in the new year if the health care law does not look a little more palettable to americans. if the website isn't just a complete disaster. yes, i think democrats are looking pretty much shocked right now. >> arguably it's going to get worse because so far it's just been the termination of the individual marketplace policies. wait until next year when the president's exemption of employers expires and then you've got the cdo predicting 20 million employer-sponsored policies will suddenly vanish and disappear and that people
11:07 am
are on, you know, the website on their own having to pay for it on their own with no contribution from their employer. >> yeah. imagine what you're hearing right now with the complaints, you know, ten-fold, and how on earth are democrats going to be able to separate themselves from that? so many of them were vocal supporters of the health care law. it's really tough to separate yourself from voting for the health care law and getting behind it vocally even after the health care law looked as though having a rough roll-out. it's going to be really hard for these members, so that's why i think keep your eye on the senate. you may see some legislative moves there where democrats are in control, so harry reid is the majority lead, and he wants to stay that way in the new year. he may try to give his democrats cover through some legislation. again, this all hinge on the coming weeks and months and how the health care law rolls out. >> susan, good to see you. thanks so much. >> thanks. gregg, lawmakers on capitol hill celebrating thanksgiving at home, but they have a lot on
11:08 am
their plates once they come back to work, including another government shutdown looming. the debt crisis deadline, the long overdue farm bill and a whole lot more here to break it down for us, chief political correspondent carl cameron, who is live in washington. hi, carl. >> hi. like susan i was saying there, a lot of this depends on what happens with the obama care because it is the back drop to so much of what is looming. congress and the white house has neglected so much in the last four years, they think they can cram all of catch-up work into the next few months. given a whole series of now overlapping problems. obama being the number one. it's a lot easier to imagine bitter fights coming than ways to actually find compromise. so, first of all, the website is a mess, and it hasn't been fixed, and it looks like ten of millions of existing policies will be canceled as the months unfold. then there's another government shutdown looming in less than i've weeks. another shutdown unless they can figure out how to fund the government where's there's another crisis on the debt crisis deadline.

it's in nine weeks. january 7th. the government will have to raise the debt beyond $17 trillion more borrowing. the farm bill, which means billions of dollars to the agricultural economy in this country, is literally a year later. it's stalled. they're supposed to be fixing that. the president is big on immigration reform. he went out on a fundraising swing to the west coast, and he was out there raising money as well as pushing congress, particularly republicans, to get working on immigration reform the senate has already passed immigration reform. these big massive bills like, for instance, oh, maybe obama care, haven't been working out so well, so the republicans in the house say we're not going to do it all at once. we'll do it in pieces. we'll have one bill for different types of visas. dreamers, et cetera. that will take a much, much longer amount of time. so now look at the calendar, and consider all of that. the house is on vacation for thanksgiving. they will be back next week. the senate doesn't actually come back until december 9th.
11:10 am
nice long break for the holiday. both of them are slated to take a week off around christmas, and then probably another week around new year's. when you add it all up, there's only a few legislative days of work time before congress, washington, and the country will be facing yet another debt crisis and immediately after that a government shutdown crisis and then a debt crisis right afterwards. simple fact, congress has been so gridlocked for so long that the work has been piling up for years. they now think they can cram it out in the next few months. it's more than ambitious and probably impossible, meaning next year's midterm election campaigns will be all about washington. outsiders, campaigning against gridlocked washington insiders with obama care. as susan was saying, the back drop to most of it. >> that's going to be fascinating to watch. carl cameron, thank you very much. >> you bet. and while it is, of course, no day off for our troops overseas, u.s. soldiers at nato headquarters in kabul, afghanistan, did take some time out to celebrate thanksgiving, sitting down to a big turkey
