they involve coverage for pre-existing conditions and al ch ildrchilendren on their insuran. pjan jan crawford is in. will he repeal obama care or not? >> reporter: well, yes. that is something that he says in every campaign rally, gets huge applause. ptha tthat law remains unpopular. what he said yesterday got a lot of pick up but wasn't anything new. he's been saying this for a couple of years now. he likes those two provisions in the law. they were in his massachusetts health care law. he won walk away from this. president obama's haerl reform law, replace it with these other provisions which remain very pul& rppopular p>> >> it looks like in august the president's team raised $114 mill prom ney.romney. pwha t'swhat's the significance of t?
7:14 am
>> reporter: this is a real he the& pthe first time the president hs out raised romney since april. they like this narrative that eve seen in the last three months that romney is crushing the president in fundraising. this stopped that story line right in the tracks. of course romney still raised over $100 million, but a downer, i think psychologically. >> with us now, dick durbin, se natesenate majority whip. good morning. what do you make that romney sa wan& s tpwanots to keep them. >> this is the part of obama ca re tcarehat that republicans co ne 1.6 million people are covered und& rpunder their parents' plan. good idea. people come out of college looking for they can stay on their parents' plan. plan. the second part is one that go verngoveorrnor romney should understand from massachusetts.
7:15 am
the concept of insurance is to bring into the pool healthy people as well as sick people. so if you just bring in sick people when they are sick it doesn't work. that's why the idea of an massachusetts and part of the obama plan. >> i thought the whole point is yo companies to bring in people with pre-existing conditions unless you brought in the base because they are expensive. ppeo plepeople with pre-existing conditions are expensive. that's the whole point i thought of obama care was to get more you had to expand the base and mandate that individuals and employers pay for health insurance. >> governor romney knows it cau& e hpbeceause same reason. if you just wait to buy insurance when you're sick, then it doesn't work. he knows that. now he's trying to take the popular part, coverage of people with pre-existing conditions and not not acknowledge the basis for it which is to bring everybody in as obama care does. so so he's picking and choosing the
7:16 am
pieces he likes. >> the impression was he althheal carth ceare reform wasr in the country. now you have this debate going on. are the republicans is going to empha emphasize the economy or going e &-pto debate becomes health care? >> health care is an important issue but i think the economy is still the over riding issue. this is the one people look to. it's the arithmetic of the po you raised this with ryan. they are arguing against things that congressman ryan voted for and pick out pieces of obama care that they like. pthi sthis selective approach one frm column a and one from column b doesn't make for much of a campaign. they are on the defensive as bill clinton said, the arithmetic is not on their side. >> despite all economy -- this election economy -- this election will still be about the economy jobs and we jobs and we had a disappointing jobs report jobs report on friday, 96,000
7:17 am
new jobs well below pexp ectaexpetionctats.ions. how does president obama and democrats get elected. >> still 30 >> still 30 straight months of pr imp ove& entpimp mucrovehment much that' like. a slight down tick in the unemployment rate. we want to see it as i said a quicker pace but we put the president's approach which is sho ing& pshowing a a romney theory which doesn't even compute. the arithmetic doesn't the arithmetic doesn't we think that's what the we think that's what the vot will will come in to. take a look at this and say why would we stop improving the ec leadership. >> quickly turning to chicago. >> 25 years since it happened. devastating. when you think about the impact on families particularly on the ldre n anchilddren and i understand the mayor is trying to do. he's trying to say to the sleeves, let's sit down and get it done. >> i was going say in the end
7:18 am

8:42 am
standpoint if you see it in a roomful of people. >> like the big screen. i like the cinema experience. you can reproduce that in the home with blu-ray. >> will 3-d -- i know. i know you're wondering when i would get there. >> i was. >> it's coming. >> didn't want to look like you were shelled. >> 3-d. before you talk about "titanic" in 3-d and all the work you did with "avatar." another "avatar" coming. three years from now or four years? >> it will be about 3 1/2 years. >> you don't work fast? >> take time in between to go exploring. >> always busy. >> part 2 and part 3 for "avatar." >> 3-d you were there, turnpike guy who made it took good. >> part of a small group that started the 3-d explosion. >> is it all that you believed

8:44 am
i can say. we won't question it. we have two eyes. we see the world in 3-d all the time and our entertainment >> you didn't shoot "titanic" in 3-d. >> we>> we had to convert it whics pa p aina pain staking process. it involved 300 artists. >> a moment on the "titanic" not the movie the event. something happened on the "titanic." always a story either on the anniversary or something happening. >> there was a lot of new information that's been coming out. we did a computer study that took us two years that was studying the sinking, we built the most complex computer model of the ship. we found out the ship in the computer study always rolled over while it sank. the realty tannic didn't. so we now think that's as close the realty tannic didn't. so we now think that's as close the engineers below decks were keeping that ship trimmed so everybody could get off the lifeboats. nobody survived to tell that
8:45 am
story. >> "titanic" in blu-ray is a good thing because? >> it's a good format. preserves all the resolution you see in a movie theater. >> experience is just as enjoyable? >> still ends the same way. spoiler alert. >> what is amazing about you, you and lucas seem to be different from most. maybe spielberg as well you-0 the story telling but the ability to tell the story better pthr oughthro theugh the technology. >> yeah. improving the technology. pi'm i'm not only always looking for a greaa grteat story but i'm look for a great new way to tell the story visually. we need to put on a good job. >> did you get serena's number? she's interested in acting. >> i know. funny. i don't think she knew who i was when she woke up from her nap. >> she does now. >> rand paul a tea party
8:48 am
republican senator rand paul believes government regulations are out of control. it's the theme of his new book "government bullies, how every day americans are being harassed by the feds." you're backing governor mitt romney. his father refuses to do. senator, good morning. you macon vince your father? >> it's contentious at thanksgiving but so farther still letting me eat at the adult table. >> i started to say something. >> i think that basically, you know, my father and i have some dis& grepdisemenagrets bements but o of endorsement i'm
8:49 am
wholeheartedly supporting governor romney and it will be a big difference for the country. >> many people including some in the romney camp are saying, coming out of the democratic convention, the president seems to have a clearer road in the swing states. >> yeah. you know, i think image is worth a thousand words. one of the bad image they have to overcome is everybody booing god and that didn't look so good. god was out of the platform, back in. there was a lot of booing. that image is one you'll see again and again and hard for them to overcome that. >> you think that will decide the election? >> just funny. you don't know what people make their decision on. it's not a substantive issue. making something that's not a real issue. images of people yelling and booing over putting god back in the platform is a difficult image for them to overcome. >> up are obviously for smaller government and in this book you're tackling government regulation, too much government getting in everybody's business.
8:50 am
let me ask you, mitt romney said in an interview yesterday that he would maintain parts of obama care. what do you think of that? >> i think it's a problem when you mandate what goes into insurance. when you mandate something like if i say you have to have in vitro fertilization or sex changes, insurance becomes more expensive. any mandates make it more expensive. our problem is health insurance costs too much. i'm a physician. when people come in to my office their biggest complaint is it cost taos much. >> what would you do about the cost of health care? >> you need competition. you need to connect the patient to the product. >> many americans would be in favor of pre-existing, would they not? >> the problem is that if you add mandates you will add cost. >> can you have a pre-existing condition not disqualifying you if, in fact, another way to pay for it other than individual mandate. >> the way to have, to take care

of pre-existing conditions is what i'm proposing than will come out in the next week is multiyear policies. if you have term life insurance and have a heart attack today and survive, they don't raise your rates because you have a long term contract. i want to do that for health insurance. long term multiyear contracts you get when you're a young person and stay with you for most of your life. >> looking ahead. suppose mitt romney loses and the president is re-elected. what happens to the republican party? >> i think one of the problems we face as a republican party is we're behind the eight ball to begin with. we're not winning the west coast. we're not winning new england. maybe we need to embrace moron paul republicans. people who are less aggressive on foreign policy. they believe in defending the country but they don't believe we should be every where. >> are you with your father on foreign policy? >> we're similar. we don't believe we should be every where all of the time and have a more defensive foreign

mitt romney's position onpprove women's health...it's dangerous. vo:mitt romney and paul ryan would get rid of planned parenthood funding. and allow employers to deny coverage for cancer screenings and birth control. we can't afford to let him take away our choices... to take away basic health care. vo: both backed proposals to outlaw abortions...even in cases of rape and incest. i don't think that women's health issues have faced a crisis like this in decades.
