they are crappy, it sounds similar to the executive fix the president announced. the difference is it allows insurers to sell those plans to new customers as well so you too can get screwed if you want. 39 house democrats voted for the bill. even if it passes the democratically led senate, the president has said it's dead on arrival. jay carney didn't have much to say about the upton bill but happy to spin the numbers and we reported it here first. >> what we did not expect was that we would have the precise problem we had come october 1st. if we had expected that, we wouldn't have been promoting the launch of the website in the way we were. >> nbc's kristen welker, insurance company ceos just arrived for meeting with the president. what do we hear about that? >> just to put this into

context, the administration has met with insurance ceos twice since the october 1st rollout of healthcare.gov. this third meeting hastily arranged underscores the level of anxiety amongst insurance ceos and insurance companies in the wake of president obama's announcement began yesterday. the level of questions, the number of questions they have about how specifically they are going to implement what he announced. of course, he said, look, if you like your plan, you can keep your plan. he's basically saying he's going to stick to the promise he made in the runup to selling his health care plan. insurance companies are say how specifically are we going to make this work. we sent out more than 4 million cancellation notices. in order to get insurance by january 1st, they have to sign up by december 15th. not a lot of time. there are a lot of questions right now about the practicalities of this, how are insurance companies going to get

letters out to tell people, look, you have the option to continue your plan. the other big question, that a lot of insurance companies and washington state saying that they are not going to comply. they are not going to go along with this. so that is going to complicate things as well for the administration. one industry insider telling me he's expecting this meeting to be incredibly tense. just to set the scene of what we might hear, the meeting getting under way here at the white house as we have this conversation, of course, the other big question is the website itself -- of course the obama administration saying, if you don't like your plan, go on the website and see what else is out there. there have been so many glitches that has been touch for folks to do and tough for people to enroll as we know. the administration saying they will have the website functioning smoothly for a majority of americans by the end of the month. a lot of tech experts are skeptical about that, whether or not they'll be able to meet that deadline. i spoke to a senior administration official who said

the website continues to improve the speed of it increasing and the number of errors declining. so they are standing by that deadline but that's the other big question mark, whether or not the website will be working. again, what is expected to be a tense meeting get under way here at the white house. >> that sounds great. kristen welker at the white house. thanks very much. let's go to alex and of steve cornacki show fame. we have a rush of plans from the executive branch from the senate and house and both sides of the aisle, if you like your crappy health care plan below minimum standards, fine you can keep it for a year, maybe indefinitely. does this concept seem to be moving toward, does this help the president and help the dems? >> i mean i think it does. this is a political solution not a policy solution.

i don't think they actually expect this to go anywhere and you talked to insurance companies they are not how to implement this. the idea is to kind of lower the freakout in washington among democrats here and i think we saw that with the vote, 39 democrats who voted for the upton bill, there could have been up to 100. it buys a little time and distracts people. it's a little bit of bs-ing, trying to distract people, and hopefully you get the -- >> can you use that term, ari? >> you can. we have a ruling. >> it is true, congressman upton spoke about getting up to 100 and yesterday he expected to have at least 50 when he was doing an interview. if we want to look at the trend line, originally it was 34 house democrats who voted against the affordability care act. today only five more coming along for upton. we're not seeing a breakaway

from this law by democrats which have been roundly and repeatedly predicted this week. >> a lot of these democrats are making a political calculation and using this as an opportunity to distance themself as the president. they have an eye on 2015. >> those would only be five more. you have 34 give or take as a trend line that are on record against the entire policy and only a handful who in response to everything we've heard, some of which has been concerning, only a handful saying they are going to come out and support the republican plan here. >> that's right. we should also keep in mind there are four republicans who voted against this too. they realize what's going on here. this civil war, democrat civil war that people are making a lot about, it is not like the conservative civil war where you have deep disagreements over policy. this is about implementation and they screwed that up and democrats aren't made about that, but they are not going to

abandon obama care. >> what is most concerning politically, this issue of credibility that appears to be even waning among democrats. the obama care debacle has been bad enough it's tough for democrats to take on faith that the president can fix the problems. one time allies are no longer sure it's wise to follow him into battle. we're talking about democrats that have stood by and advocated they are now saying this is not what we asked for. we need to figure out a way to distance ourself from this disaster. we kind of got screwed here at the time when the president really needs the party unified behind him. how do you say this dynamic playing out? >> on one handy totally understand where i'm coming from. if i was a democrat in a red state or district and took a tough vote on obama care, i would be upset. on the other hand they need to stick with him, their fates are tied to his and health care law.

if the whole thing collapses, it will be bad for them and the democratic agenda. this has been a 100-year effort to get universal health care. they need to hope it gets better and fix the website. >> to that point, alex, how much of this plob would have been short shicircuited by an effect rollout and how much will go away or be overcome by positive stories once the website is fixed and people can see what other health insurance options are available to them? >> i think it will be the majority of it. a lot of stories we've seen in the press about people losing health care, once other reporters dug in, they would have gotten better deals on the exchanges. they just found a better deal right on the change, it would have nipped it in the bud. everyone knew it was going to happen for some people. there were going to be losers and way more winners than

losers. there are going to be some who are going to pay more. they were deceptive in saying if you can like your plan, you can keep it, full stop. once the website gets fixed that will solve a lot of political problems. >> the concept of having minimum health standards is to help consumers. now we have a rash of bills and proposals keep your crappy plan, is this helping consumers? >> it's not, it would probably not help consumers. there would be a tiny fraction who would pay less but for worse plans. i'm sure you can find some people out is there who had a better deal now than they did before. if you take the global perspective, there's no doubt that the most people will end up with better, cheaper insurance than they did than they had before under obama care. and the most ironic thing about this, the upton bill wouldn't actually let people keep their plans. it says insurance companies may continue to offer these plans,

doesn't say they have to offer these plans, unlike -- >> it's almost as if it's more of an obstacle exercise than legs lating health care policy. >> interesting observe, ari. >> trying to make it look like the insurers fault insaid of the administration's fault. alex, we have to remind the folks of your stunning performance last saturday on up against the clock on up with steve cornacki. >> was at fault for her loss. >> barbara buono. what does that give? gives mara 800 and that makes alex sietz-wald, champion. >> just win, baby, just win. and you did. we note in your buyography, you

as we mentioned this afternoon, the gop led house passed congressman up ton's bill to allow insurance companies continuing to offer plans that would have otherwise been canceled even to new customers. the most interesting number was 39, that is the number of democrats that bucked their party to vote for the measure. the bill will go no further than the house. the office of management and budget slammed it as attempted

sabotage to end obama care. he voted no on the o bto the bi but offered yesterday to what is known as the landrieu lite. thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you for having me on. >> i want to start with your votes today. my question to you is given the fact that the prtd came out yesterday with his administerish executive branch fix, do you still feel it's necessary to have a legislative fix? >> what the president did yesterday was decisive. allowed flexibility to state insurance commissioners to extend insurance plans for another year while consumers at home can shop in the marketplace for a better plan. and i want to say right up front, you know, i have no concern with the insurance companies. they are the ones who have been selling these predatory

discriminatory plans that have high deductibles and very little coverage. they were predatory to begin with and to expend them is really harmful to many of my constituents in nevada. >> the piece i'm confused about, if the president fixed that decisively yesterday, what is the reason for having a democratic alternative for still voting for a legislative fix as well? >> what our plan was today was to make sure that there was the disclosure in the act to ensure that if these predatory discriminatory insurance plans are being sold, that there's disclosure to the consumer that they know what they are getting or in this case what they are not getting. i have a constituent in my district, michelle, who was not getting ob-gyn coverage under one of these predatory plans.

now she's paying $200 less and has coverage for ob-gyn services in her own community. >> congressman, take us behind closed doors a little bit. you're a member of the house. congress is on its way to being the least productive in history, a 9% approval rating. getting anything done requires compromise, republicans and democrats coming together. help us understand what the environment is like. is it as bad as it appears from the outside or do you have friends that are republicans in the house? >> i do have friends that are republicans in the house. luke mess ert, we have spent time having lunch with our spouses as well as our kids going to enjoy a ball game here once in a while. but the problem is with speaker boehner and the house republican leadership. look, the speaker said jokingly this week, we shouldn't even have a session in november. we should go home and we're done

working. we have a comprehensive immigration bill and infrastructure legislation that we desperately need to grow our economy and get people back to work. this speaker in the house republican lead areship refuses to even bring those bipartisan bills to a vote. it's shameful and wrong and not democratic. >> you don't have lunch with speaker boehner i'm guessing? >> i'd love to have lunch with the speaker. and i'd love to ask him why he won't bring hr-15 to the floor of the house for a vote. we have republicans that have signed on the bill and now 190 democrats ready to fix our broken immigration system. >> as you're saying, john boehner has given us a reason why he won't bring that bill to the floor. he's been extremely clear about that. let's play the tape in his own words? >> the idea that we're going to take up a 1300-page bill that no one had ever read, which is what

the senate did, is not going to happen. frankly, i'll make clear, we have no intention of ever going into conference on the senate bill. >> come on, congressman, we have to be fair. no one in the world has ever read this bill. how can you expect it to be brought to the floor? our friends did some math, it would only take 13 hours to read the thing. that's not that long. you could read u list ease and it would take a lot longer. ultimately, this is just an excuse for the obstruction that we've been seeing since day one in the obama administration into the newt gingrich area. >> you're right. it is obstruction and it's irresponsible and reckless. not only will it take 12 hours to read, it will only take 15 minutes to pass if the speaker brings it up. hr-15 would only take 15 minutes to vote on and approval if it were brought up by the speaker.

i'm one of the original five co-sponsors and now we have over 190 sponsors including republicans who have signed on this bill who are showing courageous leadership for doing what's right for our country. i hear all the time from my chambers of commerce in nevada and gaming industry in my state that support this immigration reform that want this done, it's good for our economy and the right thing to do. and it's time for the brinksmanship and games to stop and leerdship and courage to prevail. >> you talk about leadership, congressman. we had a lot of talk with leadership service and patri patriotism with veterans day. i know you've sponsored legislation, putting the veterans back to work act tries to address acute jobs crisis for our veterans. tell us whether you've had any traction with veterans day and discusses that having gone on

around the country to get a vote on this. >> our veterans deserve our utmost respect for the sacrifice that they and their families have made on behalf of our freedoms in this great country. in my district i have a third of my constituents who are veterans. many of whom are unemployed, looking for quality housing, who need health care and education services. and the legislation that i brought forward will help address that workforce need. we have veterans with tremendous skill sets and we need to make sure we're matching them with employees that have jobs available. i am hopeful this is legislation that this congress can enact and i'd ask the house leadership to bring it up for a vote so we can approve it very soon. >> thank you so much. >> thank you very much for having me on. >> up next, the mayor made canadians wish we would go back

[ laughter ] >> what?

what? what? >> too good. >> that is classic material from both of them. if rob ford were doing -- i wouldn't believe it. if this was the script for a movie, mayor of a major canadian town a big drinker and buys crack, wouldn't believe it. you can't make that sort of movie. but as this goes on and on and it's fun. there is a sad part of this because the guy has a serious substance addiction problem, substance abuse problem. addictive personality. i don't know if he's addicted to crack. but if the guy is drinking so much he can't remember, constantly going on benders and buying crack, it is a serious problem. and i know a little bit about addiction. to see this guy suffering makes me sad. he says he's getting professional help for drinking now but his power of being mayor of this major city is allowing him to have some sort of buffer where people can't force him to get the help he really needs.

it makes me sad. >> i'm reminded of something nancy pelosi said about mayor bob filner of san diego when his problems with women and his continued repeated sexual assaults and unwanted advances of women was coming out she said basically you need to get out of the public spotlight, go into private and get help. that's what i feel like with this guy. he does write the jokes himself. jon stewart didn't tell a joke. he played the clip. i'm jealous because none of our mayors or politicians with problems have been quite so entertaining. but it is sad in that way. the other piece of this to me, what is it with these men -- and it's always men -- where they think that they can hold high public office and face all of this public scrutiny and not follow the rules and think they are not going to get caught? the nar six which seems to be

endemic to a lot of politicians who seem to think that they are not going to get caught and they can do whatever they want and hold this power -- >> it's interesting to think how we would respond if a woman acted this way in political office. >> i don't know. >> it would be interesting. he's under a lot of stress as he says. but and he also says when you attack his integrity as a man, as a father of two young kids by the way, and as a husband, you know what happens? he says he sees red. he sees red. >> drinking? >> probably goes drinking. it's amazing that he can't be forced out of office. this is aguy who con sorts with criminals and refused to cooperate with a police force he oversees. he's not going anywhere and his wife just standing by. >> to krystal's point, there are a lot of research that shows people in high positions of power or wealth, don't feel the

rules apply to them. it's an interesting point that we seem to see a lot more with men, not only in sexual misconduct, which you can have a debate over how much that should matter, we have anthony weiner and others, how could he keep getting caught and reckless behavior, as well as to his family, or this kind of conduct. both being men. it's important to note, there are ten crack commandments -- you know this. i don't think this mayor is following them -- >> i don't know where you're going with this. >> i'll tell you where i'm going. never sell no crack where you rest at. >> that is a crack commandment, he's bringing it into where he rests at and his life. >> that's why we're also outraged. >> we don't have time for all ten. another from abby, because i know this is an education for you. never let them know your next

google. what do you think about this idea? if you were working with them, would you encourage them to turn down those offers or would you have taken them? >> i would have taken it. i think that people forget that things go up and things go down. and you know, are you going to have a different lifestyle if you make an extra billion dollars? no. and i think that a lot of times it's good to have a whole bunch of ideas and sell one and unlaunch another one. that's where you keep your brain sharp. >> what are some lessons you want people to take away from this book? >> the most thing is be intense and act. people who do things win. people who don't do things, fail. and it turns out that the more you do, whether you win or lose,

our next guest, a city planner telling those who want to save the cities, take a hike. more often they are designed to accommodate cars instead of people and this is creating city scapes that are uglier but more luckily to collapse. if you live in new york or boston, your city is already moving in the right direction. but majority of people live near smaller cities. how can we all get on the same path? first, you can listen to this guy. jeff spek, a planner who focuses on smart growth and sustainable design. how downtown can save america one step at a time. thanks for joining us. >> thanks so much for having me. i'm really pleased that msnbc has a whole show dedicated just to urban cycling. >> in in honor of you. >> we put on bike helmets and we're going strong.

>> i grew up in seattle, a city where transit politics are really important anddy vicive. how did this urban walking agenda fit in in cities divided around transit and pedestrian issues? >> well, i've been surprised in my practice to find it's often even more conservative cities and republican-led cities that have been pushing towards more walking and more walkable and bikable communities. it's certainly something that is attractive to younger citizens and younger voters. so it has a bit of a progressive angle to it. but those people who want this seem to be more competitive from a business point of view, wherever they stand on political spectrum, have now been realizing and voicing strongly the opinion that the cities need to reorient themselves to welcome people who want to walk and bike and take transit and not just have to drive everywhere. >> jeff, what are some of the keys to having a really great

walkable city? >> well, my general theory of walkability boils down to actually four things you have to do simultaneously. and the problem is in most american cities, most people have cars, most people have that car sitting in the driveway between them and everything. it's so easy to drive the car. if you're going to convince people to drive instead of walk, you have to offer a -- if you're going to con vings people to walk instead of drive, you have to offer a walk that's better than a drive. it has to simultaneously be useful and safe and comfortable and interesting. it has to do with the proper balance of uses in your community. most urban downtowns do not have the right proportion or enough housing to have a proper balance. it has to do of course with making pedestrians and bicyclists safe and feel safe. being safe and feeling safe can be two entirely different things. it has to do with the comfort of making street spaces that shape the urban realm so they feel

like they are in outdoor living rooms and blank walls and parking structures don't make walkable sidewalks. doing all four at once and focusing your energy on them. >> you mentioned young people and something you've written about, they have a broader vision of what city life is, in large part because they've grown up watching "sex and the city" and "friends." the idea of the american dream, i can speak for myself and others, not about having a car or living in a big house. it's wanting to be in the city. how will mill lennials impact this pedestrian friendly city? >> most ask me how can i attract millennials and moms and dads, how can we get our kids to stay here or grand kids to stay here? 64% of college educated first decide where to live, then they
