he joe trippi joins us. nice to see you, joe. >> good to be with you you. >> why is leader pelosi speaking out? robert gibbs, why don't they sort of be silent? >> because it's bad. i was one of the people first couple days you think it's a glitch. i mean, that makes sense. a lot of volume. the explanation made sense but it doesn't make sense anymore. it's a lot more than a glitch particularly when you see the president have to go out and make a statement today. it's a big problem aren't and how they weren't prepared for it particularly democrats. particularly with all the opposition from the republicans the whole time you knew if you messed up at all they were going to come and never give your opponent a loaded gun because they will turn around on you. >> it might be sort of a worey wart because the thing i worry about everyone is focused on the rollout and i'm looking farther down the road which is the subsidies and income verification i think to myself if they can't figure out how to enroll people in the pr

joe trippi joins us, it seems important, seems like everyone is by the time the election rolls aroundotten this one? >> no. i don't think so. because when things like this happen, particularly if there is a shut down looks like there is no way this is going to be avoided. so far, this never what happens out there being a big reaction. i think republicans are going to have a tough time, fair or not saying they weren't responsible for it. think right now, this is a losing hand for them. >> i can understand having a different ideology. i really k people, you know, people have different ideas how to accomplish things what i can't understand is that they have given themselves this, subdiddy -- subsidy. >> yes. >> anyone when votes. >> greta: anyone for votes for that? i see ads running against him or her every day. >> is that what the votes are about tonight. the ads. it's about this guy voted to not take the subsidy out. this guy, this one is... >> greta: it's the line his own pockets. so it's worse. >> i'm trying to say all of these will be cast in the worst light they can be cast in. th

excited to have kirsten powers of the daily beast website, karl rove and democratic strategist joe trippi. i'm just kidding. >> never miss a chance. >> really. >> it was not just you personally. >> no, it was all three of us. >> all three of us, yes. >> george, as we pointed out with secretary lew, this claim that presidents have never negotiated with congress over raising the debt limit is nonsense. it's happened over and over again, as we said, 27 times since 1979. do you think that the president can stick to this refusal to negotiate, or does that at some point become politically unsustainable? >> here's the position he would be sticking to. default would be catastrophic. worldwide depression, political chaos, locusts, plagues, et cetera. but attached to the debt ceiling increase, construction of the keystone pipeline, it's better to have locusts, plagues, crisis and war. and an untenable position. but what makes the debt ceiling this recurring crisis so wholesome is it forces us to move in front the gap between revenues and outlays, and everything you need to know about what's wrong w
