>> good morning, i'm chris jansing and it's not over yet. democrats want to move on after the decision to uphold the law. the political gain to keep the fight going. >> this has to be ripped out by its roots. this is government taking over the insurance industry. the americans want us to move on. >> is the fight over? >> as far as we are concerned the victory is there for the american people. >> it will be an issue. a big issue in the fall election. >> in congress, the house will vote next week to repeal health care and republican governors are vowing not to implement the law. part of the message, the surest way to get rid of health care is to get rid of the president and elect mitt romney. let me bring in washington bureau chief and political analyst david corn. good morning. >> good morning, chris. >> for republicans what is the

political calculation here? aren't they preaching to the converted? >> it is about getting the route up. you have this big split between the congressional republicans and this guy named mitt romney, their likely candidate. we saw moments ago, eric fern strom on chuck's show saying this whole issue of obama care being a tax is not true. it's a penalty. >> i will interrupt you right there. let's set it up again. this has been the mantra since the health care decision was handed down on thursday by the supreme court. they have been saying this is essentially a tax. republican after republican. but listen to what eric had to say minutes ago literally. >> the govern nor believes what we put in place in massachusetts was a penalty. he disagrees with the court's ruling that the mandate was a tax, but again -- >> he agrees with the president? he agrees with the president

that it is not and you should not call it a tax, but a penalty or a fee or fine? >> that's correct. >> is this a message from the romney campaign to members of congress? get off of this. this is hurting us. we want to talk about the economy? >> i'm not sure it's an etch a sketch moment, but it's a mr. potato head moment. it sets up this divide. they want to call for the tax and go for repeal. he doesn't want to call it a tax. when it comes to the issue of repeal, most of the internal provisions of obama care rank between 60 and 80% in popularity. the republicans are going to come racing in and throw kids off their parents's plans and go back to preexisting conditions and get rid of the donut hole payment for seniors.

i think that romney, i know he is for repeal, but i don't think he wants to campaign on getting rid of all those things yet it helps congressional candidates get their base out and rile things up. >> that's the interesting point. let me bring in susan paige. what do you think is going on here to have eric a few minutes ago saying i side with the president on this and so does mitt romney? >> it shows the difficult we have because it was once the signature achievement. now he doesn't want to talk about it. the presidential race. we will have a situation where neither is going to want to talk about health care for different reasons. we find a majority of americans in the gallup poll we took say they think they want all or part of the law repealed that. makes it tough for president obama to talk about. for governor romney because the law has similarities to the

federal law, it's tough for him too. we will have a policy of avoidance on both sides. >> i'm wondering beyond the congressional races, we are seeing this is being brought up as an issue. bob kerry in nebraska and hidy is someone for whom this could make a difference. republican governors as well. bob mcdonald, nicky haley and bobby jindal saying they will keep fighting by not implementing the law. >> every governor has two critical decisions. do we set up the exchange or expand medicaid? >> is it posturing? what is the problem here as you see it, david, going forward? are we going to continue to see the members of the republican party from congress to governors and contradicting what their party's candidate has to say?

>> i think they will on the overall approach to the health care. i think a lot of governors are talking tough and some will stick with the stand against expanding medicaid. a lot will sort of falloff, particularly if barack obama wins reelection. you have governor martinez in new mexico already saying that she isn't with the republicans for repeal. i do think in terms of the senate races, bob kerry and elsewhere, you will see this issue where the republicans attack obama care as a big concept and say it's a government take over of health care which it isn't. that's a big lie. the democrats are saying listen, do you want the republicans to get rid of all these provisions that i mentioned a few moments ago. that's the fight that if the democrats fight vigorously, they can win or fight to a draw. i don't think that's necessarily a win for republican candidates. >> let me bring in whit herbert.

good morning. what's your thought? are you going to implement the president's health care law in your state? >> we will follow the law, but whether or not we will expand the medicare portion is under analysis right now. the allure of the federal money, but it costs state taxpayers too. it is all taxpayer money. i'm not sure we can afford as a nation the expanded cost of health care. i am concerned about me balancing my own budget. >> the supreme court upheld it and the federal money and michigan's governor is talking about how he is going to go with that. in part you have the exchanges that help people shop, but the enticement of federal dollars. what would really be the biggest downside you see. why would you consider seriously not doing the medicaid portion of it? >> we have an exchange and one of the disappointments and not

only is this a divicive issue and it divided the nation in an unprecedented way. states have never been invited to discuss the issue and give input. utah has been involved in health care for a number of years. we have our own exchange and introduced competitive opportunities for the consumer and have a defined contribution rather than a benefit. we let people take the money and shop through the internet through our exchange to find what's best for them. we also have in utah the lowest cost health care and the highest quality. the ratio is good. we are doing good things. i don't want to end up throwing that out for a nationalized one-size fits all program that i don't think is going to work for everybody. >> we did see that mitt romney had a similar plan in massachusetts when he was governor there. here's what senator schumer had to say about that.

>> mitt romney is in a total pickle here. he prescribed this. this was his bill. >> romney said of course he wants to repeal the entire health care law even though i'm sure you may have heard in the earlier conversation from eric who poo-pooed the talking point and said it's not a tax. let me ask you about those two things. do you think that this health care law constitutes a tax on the american people? >> i think it constitutes a tax because that's what the supreme court said. i always believed it was unconstitutional because it was sold to us as a commerce clause mandate. that was where the authority was coming from. it was the obama administration that flipped. this could be a tax. that's what the supreme court decided. the constitutionality of it is because of the tax.

senator schumer said to compare a state-driven approach to a one-size fits all approach where we are mandated to do the same thing is a different situation. i believe in federalism and the laboratories of innovation. with the demographics, let them find ways to solve the issue. we will learn from the ssks massachusetts and the failures of massachusetts. you learn from utah and each other and come up with solutions that will i think eventually give us the right approach. >> take off your hat to someone who is running this state for your political analysis. if this conversation continues into november, was it as seems to be growing conventional wisdom, does it hurt mitt romney and help some republicans in competitive races down the card? what do you think the practicality is of continuing

this conversation especially if it's a focus of the presidential conversation. >> my crystal ball is as foggy as anybody's with how the out come is, but it's the water cooler topic of the day and it's confusing. most people believe in competitive opportunity in a free market system, but we also i guess human nature said if i can get it free, i want it. if you don't raise my taxes and raise the other people, it's more acceptable to me. my concern is we have been an entitlement mentality in this country whether it's medicare, social security or medicate which is a budget buster for the state. the health care reform is part of this entitlement mentality with a debt and growing. it's well-intended, but i'm not sure we can afford it. >> thank you so much. we do appreciate you taking the time to talk to us.

to go back to his point, is mitt rom no in a pickle? >> he's in a pickle and he has an answer which is to focus on the economy and what he calls the disappointments. that is the only thing that mitt romney wants to talk about. the fact is that is the number one issue for most americans. while this is an important issue, it's one where the americans are polarized. >> we have a big day friday. there was a suggestion today in one of the articles that both campaigns have a big red circle around friday because the new unemployment numbers come out. does this stop the conversation about healing care or will it have a life of its own. >> you have the repeal vote coming up in the house and the republicans will insist on keeping this an issue. it's probably not the determinate issue and will come up in the presidential debates and come up in the advertising

campaigns, particularly those waged against president obama from the super pacs and independent groups, but i think the obama campaign are using health care too and targeting hispanic voters who rate them as the top priority and women voters with the positive aspects of obama care we discussed earlier and people approve of in great numbers. this will be part of the campaign and obama will be using it. it may not be a top line issue that we see coming from the president's own mouth again and again and again. >> david corn and susan paige, great to have both of ow the program. hard to believe that there still more than two million people without power. day four of a heat wave that hit the eastern u.s. and it could be the weekend before power is fully restored. mike slidell is braving the heat in the nation's capital and federal workers have been told

they can stay home, right? >> reporter: i think they would rather go to work. >> where it's air conditioned? >> reporter: some of the peel in this neighborhood went to work early because they haven't had air conditioning since friday night. it's unbearable. it is all the way frlt midwest to d.c. and power is out to two million customers in d.c. alone. 235,000 customers without power. that's a half million people. the big hard wood trees are still blocking the street and still having power lines. they are getting reinforcements from as far as canada to get the power back on, but they will have 90% on, but not until 11:00 friday night. this is monday morning. five more days without air conditioning and a refrigerator and temperatures every day will be at least in the mid 90s.

it may not be quite as hot, but still very uncomfortable and a lot of frustrated people here in d.c. stay with us here on msnbc this morning. jansing and company continues after the break. tell it wears on them. narrator: he's fought to pull us out of economic crisis for three years. and he still is. president obama's plan keeps taxes down for the middle class, invests in education and asks the wealthy to pay their fair share. mitt romney and his billionaire allies can spend milions to distort the president's words. but they're not interested in rebuilding the middle class. he is. i'm barack obama and i let'"that looks hard"oject from to "that didn't take long". let's break out behr ultra... ...the number one selling paint and primer in one, now with stain blocker. each coat works three times harder, priming, covering, and blocking stains. let's go where no paint has gone before, and end up some place beautiful.

that's why we got a subaru. love wherever the road takes you. wow, there it is.

this morning. pretty dramatic suggestions from both sides of the aisle about what might happen to deal with the expiring bush tax cuts. lawmakers need to come up with a deal to avoid $4 trillion in tax cuts and deep spending cuts. with partisan gridlock here at fever pitch, the congress might be better off doing nothing now and instead work out a new deal come january. the form chief economist for and

president of the american action form. jared bernstein, contributor and chief economist to vice president biden. good to see you. good morning. the case for waiting until january say new congress should be able to work out a deal in 2013 in a less partisan atmosphere. and announce that the tax cuts would be retro active to january 1st. do you think that has merit? >> i think we should stipulate that the economy is weak and going forward with the tax increase is a recipe for the recession. the real question is, is there a way to get a deal and this individual of somehow letting everything sunset and doing it retro actively was floated by the omb director and that's appropriate. this is the ultimate budget gimmick. in the end, if you pretend that

you are going to keep taxes low, you are playing a game that the american public is not going to appreciate. that's a dangerous way to go and dangerous from an economic point of view. i don't think markets will buy this gimmick and you run the risk of real distress late this year. it will be difficult to extend them all and move on. >> is it a risky move? how many voters are going to actually believe the members of congress if they say listen, i think what we are going to do is hold off. your taxes are going to go up, but trust us. it's okay. we will pass this deal later and all this will be retro active. >> when you put it that way, chris, it sounds suspicious. and you doug make a lot of solid points. the economy is wobbly enough already. we have mixed indicators this morning looking forward. here's the thing. the only thing worse than going-over the fiscal cliff

would be kicking the can down the road once again. i think that's tremendously fiscally irresponsible and the idea of extending the tax increases and the spending cuts once again, i don't think people or markets will believe them when they say we will get back to that. the important thing to realize is that it's less of a cliff than a slope. doug is right about the progression, but that's request f we go over and stay over f. we get a good deal that includes new revenues, we should. if we can't, we shouldn't kick everything down the road. >> how would the markets react to that? everyone in my age group watches their 401(k) and what would the market dos for that? >> this is a dangerous moment. if you are an equity market investor, you are looking at the

dividend tax rate and that tripling of dividend taxes will have big market implications beginning this fall, far before the fiscal cliff hit. they pointed out the slow down before january 1st. it's hard to say we will raise taxes, but we don't mean it. there will be a deal at the other side when there is no deal to be struck. that is the question, what are the chances of a deal? >> the chances of a deal are fairly low. i don't think anything any of us can say will change that. the president and the democrats to their credit are holding firm on this idea that any deal must include revenues and you have a bunch of conservatives that will pledge never to accept that. we may be looking at going-over the cliff.

the important thing is the grown ups in the room start talking about crafting a deal that is balance and includes revenues as well as spending cuts. that compromise is essential. >> we are out of time, but what are the grown ups in the room and who can make this happen? >> we saw a great formulation from the former deputy director who said yeah, extend the tax code, but have it be tied to the commitment that can include all the elements. that's the deal we need more. don't harm the economy and fix the tax code. >> thank you so much. happy fourth. looks like mexico has a new president. preliminary results show enrique pena nieto is the voter's choice to deal the with economy and drug cartel . he is a youthful 45-year-old and drawn huge crowds on campaign stops. his return returns the

revolutionary party to power after being swept out in 2000. mexico is the third largest u.s. trading partner and the handling of the drug cartel violence and u.s. immigration are hot button issues on both sides of the border. be sure to check out nbc latino on the web for the latest details, nbc latino.com. you know what i love about this country?

competitive games like running, biking and swimming, hence the name, the romney olympics. big time supporter chris christie seems to be telling it like it is as a competitive sport of his own. listen to what he said to a reporter this weekend who wanted to ask a question about something besides what he wanted to talk about. >> did i stay on topic. are you stupid? on topic. next question. good. thank you. i'm sorry for the idiot over there. take care. >> if you read only one thing this morning, check out the provocative question asked by new york magazine, completely on topic. does being rich make you mean? it's up on our facebook page at facebook/jansing co.

>> it is looking to be a long hot summer on the campaign

trail. presidential elections slow down between independence day and the conventions, but this year is very different with both sides trying to keep up the intensity and what is expected to be a close election. i am joined by the democratic strategist. good morning. you know with the race this close and the money game so competitive, we shouldn't be surprised if the president and mitt romney don't take a lot of downtime between now and the conventions. are we looking at something unprecedented? >> i think so because there is a race to get the money in and you can suze that to communicate with voters. there is a group that is energiz energized, but they made up their minds. the campaigns will double down or do smsk messaging to classes of people who will make the difference in the bralths ground states whether single mothers or

latinos. >> they are getting out a lot and the president starts a two-state bus tour through ohio and 1010 on thursday. it used to be this time of year people are not paying that much tension and two, rest your candidate before the final push in october. why the change? >> for a couple of reasons. it wasn't that long ago that we used to campaign finance at this point on federal campaign finances. when you have the convention, you have a big check. until now, it's unlimited fund-raisin fund-raising. the super pacs are raising a billion. that takes more time. now that we are in the 24-hour news cycle, there is a chance to interject yourself into the discussion during the day. what we will see is the campaigns will be testing messages. they have an opportunity to microtarget the messages to each group.

>> let's talk about the money they are raising. the dealy beast obtained details with donors and he practically begs them for money. let me read what he said. if things continue as they have so far, i will be the first sitting president in modern history to be outspent in his reelection campaign. the special interests are going to consolidate themselves and run congress and the white house. so between now and the conventions, are we talking huge dollars that could be raised in this short period of time? >> there is two different kind of fund-raising to happen. barack obama is out having to raise medium, low, and all different kinds of money. when you attack wall street and call him the wall street candidate, wall street is not going to write you a check. you have to go ask them to write you a $100 or $300 check. you have to spend all summer

long because nobody will write you the check. you have to do it donor by donor. >> another change is we used to say the money runs out. we have been talking about so many billionaires contributing to the super pacs, them giving $20 million is like us giving $20. >> they didn't know how to spend it all. you are looking at the board of about 15 states that are going to be toss ups that they will be focussed on and literally have a billion dollars on focus on the states. that's a lot of money and a lot of ads. they will try to spend it. >> let me talk about the emotional and mental toll this all takes and chuck, i will start with you. at some point and we know mitt romney will be at his family compound this weekend, but i don't think his advisers are calling him and saying no, let's not take that call.

i have a game i'm playing with my sons. when you have this intensity, the fund-raising and the traveling and you don't get the downtime you got before. is it hard on the candidate? what about their staffs. i can remember when i was out on the campaign trail, you live for this break especially in a primary and then you felt like you could make the push through september and october. >> it takes a really dedicated crew of people. i have been on lots of campaigns and i remember being with dick gephardt across iowa and the one thing i found that's the most important is their family and having a strong support around them. with their wife and children and having friendly faces around them and keep encouraging them. we may disagree on policy, but we believe in what they are doing and having that support net around them which is a close family and close friends and people there encouraging them who help them get up to give one more speech or one more call

which is what i found to be the most important. >> is this harder than it has been in the past? let's be honest, no com pain is easy. has it gotten physically and emotionally more challenging? >> they are all. the number one job they have to do is rest the candidates. that's the staff's part and the family part. the candidate can change the dynamics by going out and saying one thing wrong or one thing that doesn't make sense. >> that are brings us back to the 24-hour news cycle. all you need is someone with a cell phone and the next thing you know, it's up on the web. >> you are taped 24 hours a day and seven day a week. even fund-raisers, even though they ask them not to, they do. if either said something stupid, that is going up the next day or the next five minutes. that can change the dynamics of the race. you want to make sure your

candidate is rested and it's tough to give them a sunday or saturday night to have a date with their wife, that's important to keep them well rest and focused. >> how much is the candidate themselves. at some point they run the campaign and they need to know themselves. i need to take tonight off or sunday off or whatever it is. >> i worked on three different presidents and it's up to that candidate. i'm taking off tomorrow and don't care what any of you say and others say okay, if you think i should do this, we should do this. every candidate i find from doing this for 20 years is different in each way. some of them have better or worse relationships with their wives because they have been with them longer or shorter or a certain staffer and they trust them. the key is having a group of people that you trust and know and you have that conversation, but i would agree it's critical

to take downtime from time to time or you will burn out. >> guys, great conversation. thank you. >> thanks, chris. >> a lot of money that we are talking about is going to be spent trying to win over the voters who have been leaving both parties in droves. 2.5 million voters since 2008 left the democratic or republican parties. independence now number four out of every ten voters. richard louie has been looking into what they want. >> hey there, chris. there has not been this many independent voters in almost 3/4 of a century. they are 38% of all voters. look at the curve. last election they were 6% lower and hovering in the low 30s before that in previous elections. why they are growing in number according to the "washington post," 60% don't agree with republicans on issues like the economy and national security and don't agree with democrats on social issues, but not all

independent voters are in play. here's how they break down. out of ten voters, roughly four are independent. they estimate that two or three are independents that have political leanings. that leaves just one or two voters that are really in n play and the target of the ads and campaigning to woo them, but without a lot of surety despite that investment. in 2006, independents swung to the democrats with a margin of 18 points and by the election after and then swung in favor of republicans almost 20 points the other way. the reason is independents are made of many groups. linda killian said four types. you have the republicans that are socially moderate and fiscally conservative and the reagan democrats are more often male and socially conservative. then the facebook generation. younger than 35 and lean

libertarian. independent and the last final type for you, the starbucks moms and dads. suburban and unpredictable like the way the election is at this point. >> unpredictable to say the least. let's get you caught up on other stories making news this morning. firefighters are finally getting the upper hand on the fast moving wildfire in colorado springs. most of the people have not been allowed to go back home, but the news is not all good. nearly 350 houses burned to the ground. this is the worst fire in the state's history and now it is 55% contained. >> a run off will be determined to claim the final spot in the 100 meters in the olympics. alyson felix tide for third place and they were given the option of how to handle it. there can be a coin flip or face off.

this is michael jordan's youngest son, marcus jordan arrested after a disturbance outside a hotel. the basketball player was described as very animated, intoxicated and uncooperative. tiger woods is back on top, breaking a big time record. details ahead in down to the wire. a sign of the times, cash-strapped cities are looking at advertising to plug big budget holes. mandy drury is here with what's moving your money. they are the latest trying to put ads on fire. is that right? >> absolutely. >> having to get creative, baltimore is going to sell ads on fire trucks to stop the cash strapped city. let's have a listen. >> when i first heard about the bill, i thought it was idiotic. why do we want to look like

nascar or a bus. this shows how far we have to go to think outside of the box. >> if this is something that keeps the fire company open and people safe, this is something you want to consider. >> chicago also sold ad space on the bridges to bank of america while philadelphia rented out a transit station to at&t and brazil, indiana let kfc advertise the chicken wings on the fire hydrants. >> all right. let's talk a different kind of money. that's what we will spend for the barbecue on the fourth of july. >> apparently july fourth will be easier this year on your pocket book. the majority of americans plan to celebrate with a cook out and no surprises there, but according to a special big inside analysis, the average price of an independence picnic is down to $59.14. as for the total spend on cook

outs, $2.4 billion based on a shopping list of all the things you need for a cook out. >> mandy drury, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> heading to a hot spot? priceline is out with the top travel destinations for the holiday based on hotel bookings. number five, las vegas. four, san francisco, specifically hotels on fisherman's whatever. san diego dropping to second after topping the list. then chicago and the number one travel destination for this fourth of july is new york city. hotels on the westside are booked up for the fireworks display on the hudson river. also, get a free flight. you know that comes with a private island? really? no. it comes with a hat. see, airline credit cards promise flights for 25,000 miles, but... [ man ] there's never any seats for 25,000 miles. frustrating, isn't it? but that won't happen with the capital one venture card.

>> more stung numbers and not for the presidential campaign. big donors and super pacs and

special interest is pouring money into congestion although and gubernatorial races. a super pac supporting candidates for the house, for example, performed nearly $16 million in ad time this fall. labor unions putting in about $4 million into the congressional races. deep pocket donors like the koch brothers and donald trump putting millions into local races. david hockings writes the cq daily briefing. we have never seen anything like this. >> no, we haven't. the house majority pack that you alluded to that is committed to spending $16 million this fall on about four dozen congressional races. at memorial day, they raised only two million and now they have eight times as much money. the money is pouring in.

the amount of money raised by the republican governor's association by contrast, they raised 30 million so far this year and they are only 12 governor's races on the ballot this fall. they raised 29 for all of two year ago when there were 25 races on the ballot. the arms race is just accelerating. >> $2 billion from david koch from koch industries. what do they get out of that? >> what do they get? i guess they think they get victories or conservative policies. adeleson and newt gingrich's ben factor when that race was going on, he was about promoting israel and promoting a presidential candidate he thought was about israel. i guess what they want. they want romney to have all of

washington at his beckon call. if he has governors and state legislators that are more and more republican, that will bubble up the conservative farm team for the bigs. >> farm team is interesting. if you happen to become a rising star like nicky haley or chris scott or chris christie. you are already an insider, right? >> that's exactly right and below that, if you are backing an air and shock, the young -- he started out in his 20s as a state legislator and a rising star in the house republican firmament and thinking about going state-wide. i don't think he is beyond his early 30s yet. you want to invest in them young. >> that's what you node in the legislative races? >> this is the post redistricting president and all the maps have been redrawn and a

lot of open seats this year, they want to build the farm team that dominates state legislatures and governor's races. >> do you have a sense of how worried democrats are? they have not been able to keep up with the fund-raising for these levels. >> they haven't. they do seem to be making a surge at the house level. at the house democratic level. democrats need 25 seats to gain control. they have worry on the republican side that there is complacency on the republican side. they have a relatively big lead to sit on. if the democrats are surging in, this seiu, the union that represents janitors and hospital workers and combining with the house majority pack that is funded principally by other unions and trial lawyers and other groups associated with democrats and pouring money in and investing wisely. they think they can target small

media markets and sacramento, california, they will pour money in because there four congressional races that can go either way where the voters watch in sacramento, california. a little bit of money can go a long way. >> fascinating stuff. thank you so much for coming on. speaking of congress, today's tweet of the day is about one member. it comes from amanda terkle. loretta sanchez dances to call me maybe. this in our continue is must see tv.
