who were those people? it is my favorite time of year. the family gets together and some relatives you want to see and some you don't. everyone is in good spirits and the little ones can't wait for santa to come down the chimney. but things can be chaotic this time of year. if you procrastinated you know what i'm talking about. the last-minute shopping, but there is a lot of cool stuff to choose from out there. ♪ walking in a winter wonderland ♪ okay, now eric, let me start with you. did you like any of those ads. >> the second one.

1:03 am
the way this country is going. it is offensive to me. >> are you joking? >> i could say i'm joking. i like people not to know. a couple of thoughts here. one, why doesn't someone come up with a delivery wrapping van, that comes to your house like a food truck and wraps your presents. because i can't do it. and i don't want to buy the wrapping. just come and do it for me like a food truck that wraps gifts. and there are millions of people like you. i went shopping on saturday and 90% of the people were buying stuff for yourselves. and i'm like can't you just wait for a month so yerks like -- so jerks like us could get through our christmas shopping. >> retailers are not consistent in the wrapping and gift message part. that is where online shopping could improve. >> how about you, are you all set? how is your son, by the way. >> he is doing well and we picked out a christmas tree and i went to get lights and they
1:04 am
said we are sold out. they were like sorry ma'am. so i ran around and got some red, green and white. it is good. >> do you decorate your house? >> yeah, quite a bit. where are you going with this? >> we're talking about christmas. >> you mentioned the controversial ads. let's bring the apple commercial up here. ♪ have yourself a merry little christmas ♪ >> very cute. >> that is heart-warming i guess. >> what is the point? why are we doing this?
1:05 am
what a waste of time. people come to watch the show, not look at stupid commercials. >> can i say on the other side of that. >> you can have a little eggnog. [ overlapping speakers ] >> let me -- >> i have a 15-year-old who spends his whole time, whenever we are at dinner, he is like this. and so what that was, that was the kid who removed himself from what was going on from the family, meanwhile what he had been doing was videotaping all of the nice things that were going on. >> and he put it together. >> that is why one of the ads that i welled up when i saw it because i didn't get it. but when you see it at the end, you are like, whoa. >> you cried? >> the only thing i know for sure, is my kid is still going to be tempting and not -- texing and not paying attention to me. >> after the 18th time i've seen it, i'm tired of the teen-ager.
1:06 am
>> but you sit next to one. >> we'll skip the grinch. >> it was great for apple. >> they need help with advertising because they are doing so poorly. >> i love christmas and despite the fact that no what is happening in your life, you have to stop and slow down and think about other people and the true meaning of campus and the blessing of jesus and now greg. >> i find the whole thing nauseating. i just find the idea of watching commercials on a tv show stupid. commercials, they pay to be on programs, they pay you. you don't do it for free. especially apple, they are the richest -- company in the country. >> i had liberal professors. you like jimmy fallon, don't
1:07 am
you? >> so should i call you a cab. >> it's cold outside. >> it's not that bad. >> you can still catch the bus. >> gonna make breakfast for us. tomorrow we'll hang out all day. >> i have an early thing tomorrow. >> got a toothbrush i can borrow. >> you really can't stay. >> it's starting to storm out. >> but baby, it's warm outside. >> i do not have -- have a clue what that was about. >> she wants to stay the night and he doesn't want her to stay the night so they sing a song about it. >> that is not what i would do. i would just throw her out. >> well you have a different arrangement. >> what is that all about it? >> understand. >> well speaking of arrangements, you did the show
1:08 am
before. >> [ inaudible ]. >> i'm doing the best i can here. this is a very big deal. you want to talk about obamacare? >> if obamacare had apple advertisers in the p.r. department, they might be able to sell that. >> we'll talk about obamacare in the next slot. >> we are? >> see, i was hoping we would get through this. that is why they put me through the front end. >> can i ask you a question. when we opened the show you said there are some relatives that you want to see and don't want to see. what relatives don't you want to see? >> they are all dead. there are a few i would like to see. i enjoy most of them. >> if that is the only way i could shop, to drink. on saturday before i went out, i went to a bar and had two huge glasses of wine because that is the only way i can stomach going into large department stores and i bought quite possibly the worst gift i've ever purchased.
1:09 am
>> i actually want to know -- >> i doipt know what i'm going to do. >> this was a gift from fox news. >> dana. >> and greg, you said this is going on too long. directly ahead, the president makes a couple of surprise moves on obamacare. ed henry has the laft and he'll join -- the latest and he'll join us here. and phil robertson may not be breaking down -- or backing down. i just started, give me a break. i'm doing my best. they give me the a-block and i got the commercials and greg going nuts. but before we go, andrea tant airos and juan williams as you've never seen them before. [ as chipmunks ]
1:14 am
♪ so today was supposed to be the deadline for most americans to sign up for obamacare. but the administration has just expended that to tomorrow. that is bob's phone. on christmas eve, in anticipation of high demand, meanwhile over the weekend democratic senator joe manchin called for a delay of the manda mandate, saying disaster if there isn't enough time for the rollout. >> if it is so much more expensive than we anticipated
1:15 am
and the coverage isn't as good as we have, you have a complete meltdown. so this transitional ayear gives you a chance to adjust the market and see if the market will absorb and buy the product. and basically the cost becomes more than we can absorb. >> but acoring-according to president obama, everything is just fine. >> the basic structure of that law is working. despite all of the problems, the website problems, despite the messaging problems, despite all of that, it is working. >> we learned today that the president himself has just enrolled for a bronze plan that the white house admits he will never use any way because he gets healthcare from his employer. for more on that, let's bring in our favorite guest ed henry from washington. >> speak for yourself. >> what does bob have against me. >> no one is against you. we are all for you. >> i hate you. >> can you bring us up to speed
1:16 am
on what the white house is thinking and what are they doing and are they completely disconnected or do they think we are realistic? >> you won't be surprised to learn to say to me candidly that they are still nervous. they keep saying the website is getting better but they are worried it will break down again. they have been burned before. and they are cautiously optimistic that the benefits of the law will kick in. and so while this is this glass half empty among the president's critics, they still have the glass half full. if you can get past these bumps and these are bhig bumps, just not tiny little speed bumps, they are hoping this will turn around. we're going to find out in the next few weeks it. will play out over the next six, eight, ten months. but over the next few weeks we'll find out if the enrollments are for real or the 2 million people the president
1:17 am
touted, if some of them on january 1 or 2 go to the -- and find out the premium didn't make it to the insurance company, being enrolled is a sham and he'll have a problem on his hands when you have democrats like joe manchin saying we are having a meltdown. he has never been a fan of this president, and we should know that. but he is saying this could be headed for a meltdown and we have to pay attention to that. >> and this is robert gibbs echoing similar sentiments yesterday. >> this is big progressive government solving a big societal problem. >> i would say this is the worst year the presidency does beat out 211. >> i'll turn it over to eric who will ask you a question and maybe you can comment on that ad. >> here is the most transparent president in the world and it was going to be that way, but then again he signed up for
1:18 am
obamacare but it sternes -- it turns out he didn't because he doesn't have to. it is a joke. it is becoming a charade. the american people don't know what is going on. they delay the employer mandate and the individual money date, there are waivers, the law is a shambles. what are the rules? we don't have any idea what is going on. >> is there a question in there. >> is there any salvaging this for administration? >> there is. i think chuck dod asked a question, the other day he said we have to stop the republicans from repealing the law and you are repealing on your own piece by piece. the president pushed back on that and said look, the core of this law is still there. and there are questions whether the core is that strong. when you add up net-net, how many people have enrolled and maybe they will have insurance in january, but when you suburb tract the folks that lost their
1:19 am
plans, what is the net-net as to how many new people have gotten health insurance. so if the goal is to add millions more to the rolls, are they going to be able to show that in the next two or three months. >> bob is next. >> ed, it is really nice to see you and i was really only kidding. i think you are a great guest. and can you tell me, has the president played golf yet in hawaii. >> i think this is his second round. he is out on the golf course as we speak. live, local and late-breaking, he's out on the course. >> and has he gotten his christmas shopping done? >> i didn't ask him that question. i know his new year's resolution is he is trying to be nicer to the white house president corp. >> i was trying to see if i could change the toop -- topic, go ahead kimberly. >> if we can't fund this and the people that signed up won't have
1:20 am
the insurance coverage because if the payments haven't gone through then i'm expecting sometime before the state of the union we're going to hear the irs or someone else doesn't have the man power or the personnel to be able to enforce the individual mandate. is there discussion about that, yet another delay? >> yes. and i think there are two points i would make. this is what democrat joe manchin is getting at. he used the world meltdown and that sound bite gets picked up but behind that he is pushing should be a delay of up to a year for the penalty for the fine and the individual mandate because he is saying, look, if folks have problems with the website or once they've gotten on but the paperwork won't get to the insurance company in time, how can you have the irs penalize people if they are trying to get health care and they can't do it. that is a real question that this white house has not confronted yet, number one and that is the democrat saying that. and what republican fred upton said today, one of the house
1:21 am
representatives leading the hearing of the botched rollout part of this. he said look now they are changing by 24 hours the sign-up from today to tomorrow for people that are queued, what is the next holiday surprise? and you have to wonder, say christmas eve ort 26th or the 27th when people are not paying attention, are there more changes in the works? we don't know yet but that is something we could watch for. >> and greg, you said you have to drink to go shopping, do you have to drink to talk about the president. >> no. but i want to make a statement. obamacare, i had a friend in college that had a 1974 honda civic and there were more fixes, he had the blifrpging license plate, hydraulic lifts and spoilers and there was nothing left but this stuff which is what obamacare is.
1:22 am
so here is my suggestion, remember that harvard kid who get out of finals called in a bomb threat, should the president called in a bomb threat on obamacare. just get out of it and say it is a disaster and leave. >> you just broke the law. >> that was a metaphorical. >> greg, you often have me about 85% of the way in and then on the last 15% you go off the runway with the bomb threat. >> call in and say it is over and done. >> we could start a war. take a shot at iran. >> i think what he can do is have to try to grind this out. what they started out with was a grand vision they had, all of the levers they were pulling and this was the perfect law with minor tweaks and they had it but it is not all there and they have been tweaking and tweaking and retweaking and i think they'll have to do some more over the next 30-60 days because there will be a whole host of issues we don't know yet.
1:23 am
for example, the white house continues to say the plans that were lost were the folks who bought their own plan and the 85 % employer based is fine. i've talked to various small business people around the country who keep telling me they are getting irate phone calls from employees because their plans didn't largely change but the deductibles have gone from $400 a year to $2,000 a year. so once the folks that have employer-based care that wasn't supposedly not touched pay more out of the pocket in january and february, that could be another problem the white house is going to to deal with. >> they are not tweaking, they are twerking. >> i was going to say that. >> i'm sure the white house writers are having a blast writing the state of the union this year. >> by, bob. a new statement from the duck patriarch under fire from phil robertson. find out what he is saying next.
1:28 am
1:29 am
after an uproar from customers it issued this statement. quote, you told us we made a mistake and we listened. today we are putting all of the duck dynasty products back in the store and we apologize for offending i ining -- for offend. so that was a big apology? >> that was well done. so over the wrk, a&e got heat and they got a comment saying they will continue to run the episodes and we expected that. but cracker barrel pulled items off their shelves and within 48 hours put them back on and apologized. they apologized and said we made a mistake and answered to the free market, but there are people out there who said stick it to cracker barrel. i say don't stick it to cracker barrel. it is a good company and they admitted to making a mistake.
1:30 am
america is about second chances. >> have you ever been in a cracker barrel. >> i have. it is fantastic. >> i don't know why they missed it, but every one of those people in there would be duck dynasty people. >> had the founder never pulled the merchandise if he had been alive. but if they admitted to a mistake, bob, we all make mistakes, that is a free market adjust itself. dana, making faces. >> i'm tired of the story. >> you are? >> boo hoo. what do you want to talk about? dogs. >> i think people are underest pating -- underestimating how sensitive people were to the comment and that they were hurt by them. so then i also think that i can't judge anybody else, because i've got plenty of my own sinz i have to deal with and i'll deal with that with god. i think people are ready for christmas and to move on from this. a&e will not pull the show,
1:31 am
creighton barrel -- >> cracker barrel. >> cracker barrel will not pull the show. they don't have oatmeal there. >> they have serving dishes. >> i think that people are ready to -- >> but real quick, from a communication perspective, do you like the way cracker barrel handled it and said we made a mistake and we listened to our consumers and now here is what we'll do. >> the companies don't talk to the p.r. person before they do it. it is after the fact. remember the airline that charged veterans coming home from afghanistan for their bags, and nobody talked to the p.r. person before doing this. >> and to the purple person over there. >> i wish i made this point but my friend gavin did. i talked to him this morning and he said could you find anybody less obscure than phil robertson
1:32 am
if he doesn't have duck dynasty? he lives in a swamp. he doesn't talk to anybody, he lives his own life. it wasn't until duck dynasty came out that he became famous. so it is not like he was -- he walks down the street with a sign with his beliefs, telling everybody what he does. >> he's a private swamp person. >> yeah, he eats and kills frogs. so it doesn't bother anybody. these are his opinions, not his actions. i think that is probably the most interesting thing. >> and getting my friend bob in. >> you walked down the street carrying a sign. america, love it or leave it. all of you professors get out, you are all deported. i agree with debuta -- dana, i think we've run this baby into the ground. >> but we don't have a story left to replace it. >> yes we do. i have another one coming out that you sent out as a pitch. a p.r. executive at a media company sends a tasteless tweet

1:38 am
herself. countless articles had been scheduling her demise. the true definition of bullying is sensing an opening and taking it d. her tweet require firing? probably. i thought it was how bad blacks have it when it comes to aids. but she's a p.r. so she should know better. but if a comic would have said this, many would have chuckled. you just need an ignorance that you could be next, watching the web and waiting for justine to land as they knitted a noous. when led to their own devices, humans are creeps. >> she apologized, a written statement saying she was insensitive to the crisis and was ashamed of making this aids joke. k.g., should she have been fired?
1:39 am
>> yes. because sometimes sorry isn't good enough. i learned that from ronin. you can say sorry for something but it is just not going to cut it. how do you even think like that or say something so r reprehensible about a disease that has killed so many especially in africa where certain parts are impoverished and children dying and being born with aids. it is not something to joke about. >> but maybe, dana, i misread this joke, but i thought it was more of a white privilege analysis on white guilt. like we don't have this problem and they do. >> i thought about it on saturday when it broke and i said don't you think she meant this. but i think as a p.r. executive, implementing a strategy to apologize, that was good. but judgment is questionable. but i do think it reminded us we are all basically one tweet away from being fired. but this also is new h.r. tear

forry -- territory. what are the policies and the draws lined. >> if you do more jasper junk, you could get fired from the five. >> i don't do those any more. >> and i had the same reaction. this is white privilege. don't be funny if you are not funny. but there were other tweets that i read she is like a repeat offender. at one point she made a joke about her and a handicap person and #fml and look it up if you don't know what that means. and yes, everyone deserves a second chance but do you deserve a third and fourth. >> but she is a resid visit of comments. >> and she was on the plane and she talked about the body odor of a german so she clearly has a fixation on other cultures. >> she'll have a job with a reality show in about 20
1:41 am
minutes. >> she's got -- she is in public relations and there is no excuse. i don't believe it is white guilt. i think she has a race problem and deserved to be fired and probably deserves -- well, let her go on. you don't say something like that. aids have devastated that country and the idea that some p.r. person would say something like that is beyond comprehensive. i'm mobbing up against her. >> she wasn't a low-level staffer, she had a lot of responsibility and clients and paying her money for her public relations judgment. >> do you think because she was flying she was on -- she tweets like, can i get in trouble if i tweet while inebriated. >> she was looking for attention. she has 574 followers before this. >> and now she has no tweeters and no job. >> coming up, there is nothing
