indiana senator dan coats delivered the republican address. he focuses on the health care law. everybody. on thursday i addressed a conference for business leaders around the world. my pitch was simple. choose america. invest in america. create jobs in america. it speaks to my top priority as president, growing our economy, creating good jobs, strengthening security and opportunity for the middle class. over the past three and a half years, our businesses have created over 7.5 million new jobs. this week, the treasury confirmed that since i took office we have cut our deficit by more than half. but we have more work to do. we need to grow and create more good jobs faster. that is my driving focus, and i will go anywhere and do anything to make it happen. washington'se driving focus as well. i know what you often hear out of washington can sadly charley brown's teacher, a jumble of unfocused noise out of touch with the things you care about. today i want to cut through that noise and talk plainly about what we should do right now to keep growing this economy and creating new job

. >>> republican senator dan coats of inside wants to know if data was manipulated. senator kotz is on the join senate economic committee, nice to see you. >> thank you, nice to see you. >> why do you want to launch an investigation into this? >> i want to find out what really happened. it was just incidentally enough the month before the election. this just adds on to a narrative that has come around and all of the things that have been exposed here in terms of manipulation. i'm not saying that happened, i'm calling for a investigation. >> folks, remember right before the presidential election, unemployment, i believe, was 8.1%. it went down in that one month to 7.1%. then there was an explosive report that a worker claimed that he fudged the numbers.we d that worker now says he never said that. does that mean you still want to go forward with an investigation? >> let's find out the truth. he said one thing one day and the next day he refused it. let's find out the truth so we know whether that happened or not. clearly it deserves looking into. >> how would you go a

dan coats continued that line and suggested americans will be, quote, stuck on board this titanic unless congress acts. senator coats also challenged the president on his repeated pledge to people who could keep their health insurance if they like it under obamacare. >> well, tell that to over 300,000 people in florida who have received cancellation notices or the nearly 1 million californians that may see their health care insurance plans disappear. tell that to the tens of thousands of hoosiers in my state that will see similar notices arriving in their mailboxes. >> reporter: the president contends even if an insurance company drops a plan, it now has to offer these clients other, more comprehensive plans that meet obamacare standards. the white house says it does not have accurate data yet for how many people have signed up for policies under obamacare since its launch. but says it will release the numbers for october in mid november. >> we expect those figures to be relatively low, but we absolutely expect those figures to grow. and we always did. it is our challenge and our respons

quote, the tip of the iceberg from senator dan coates who gave the address. molly has more on that. >> greg, the white house has said it is more than an ailing website. today the republican senior senator agreed and said obamacare's problems run, quote, far deeper. >> when middle class families are getting hit with outrageous deductibles, it is more than a website. when individuals can't keep the doctors they have trusted for years it is more than a website. >> when hard working americans are seeing their hours cut and paychecks shrink, it is more than a website. >> the department of health and human services, the obamacare website will be down through sunday morning for, quote, extended maintenance. only six people signed up for obamacare the first day the winter olympics went live. only 248 people are enrolled by end of day two. the obama administration needs 30 thine,000 people a day to enroll to meet its goals and make the system work. the white house calls the figures rough figures and they will reveal numbers in mid-november. enrollment will be a close,

. >> senator dan coates joins me now.ator, you think this is all a distraction, that the democrats are just -- they just want to change the subject. what do you mean? >> if i were a democrat knowing two weeks of going back home in front of the people, i'm not sure they are going to think that the constituents are going to be asking about judge nominations. they'll be asking a lot about obama care. >> i don't think this changes that. people will still be -- >> i don't think it does either. i think they are desperate for something, they call it nuclear war. they want us to send missiles back the other way. we're not going to do that. what's on the minds of the people is the rollout of this obama care and the fear people have of losing their doctor, of paying double premiums, not -- having their policies canceled. that's what's on people's minds. this is purely a distraction. now, it's an important distraction from the standpoint that it breaks 225 years of history. this is not what the founding fathers envisioned. they want

dan coates challenged the president that people can cope their health care if they like it. >> tell that to the people in florida who received cancellation notices and 1 million californians that may see health insurance plans disappear and tell that to the tens of hoosiers in my state that see similar notices a ratifying in their mail boxes. >> even if the his honor company drops a plan they have to offer comprehensive plans that meet obama care standards. nlaw makers learned that we would have to wait until the middle of the month and now they came out and they are very low numbers. what is the white house saying today? >> only six people signed up for obama the first day the website went live according to documents released to the house over sight committee and only 248 people enrolled by the day two. the obama administration needs 39,000 people a day to make it work. the white house said those are rough figures. and white house secretary said enrollment will likely be a slow build. >> it is no question that it is made more challenging by the poorly functioning website and that is on

it is a strange, twisted piece of logic but nonetheless echoed hours ago by indiana senator dan coats. >> i discourage discrimination of any kind, individuals or institutions for their faith and values. i feel it's vital for this body to stand up for our country's long stand ing right to the freedom of religion and speech. >> the house may prevent itting from being passed but actions won't go unnoticed by lgtb community, young voters and american public. clarifies who the villain is, like a game of clue but with a single culprit, crime scene and weapon, gop in the house with the speaker's gavel. joining me host of up with steve kornacki, the infamous steve kornacki. julianna goldman, "washington post" columnist jonathan capehart and joining us from washington, d.c., john stanton. john, let me go to you first since you're in d.c. right now the senate is holding a vote or about to hold a vote on the toomey amendment which will broaden carveouts to corporations who might not feel okay with lgtb employees and just not want to abide by this nonstrip nation act. what do you see for the futu

today, the republican senior senator from indiana, dan coates, agrees, and said obama care's problems, quote, run far deeper. >> when middle class families are getting hit with massive premium increases and outrageous deductibles, it's more than just a website. when individuals can't keep the doctors they have trusted for years, it's more than just a website. when hard working americans are seeing their hours cut and paychecks shrink, it's more than just a website. >> cbs news reported this week that only six people signed up for obama care the first day the website went live and only 248 people signed up by the end of day two. the obama administration needs 39,000 people to enroll a day to meet its goals and make the system work. the white house calls those, quote, rough figures, and says it will reveal enrollment numbers for october in mid-november. white house press secretary jake carney says it will be a slow build. >> it's no question it's been made more challenging by the poorly functioning website and that's on us and that's why we're dedicating the resources and the brainpower

the president joined us to end the blockade of second appointments, senators mitch mcconnell and dan coatesoth responded by attacking the affordable care act. here they go. >> they are desperate for something. they call it nuclear war, they want us to send missiles back the other way. it's on the minds on the people, the rollout of obama care. >> here's the problem with this latest distraction. it doesn't distract people from obama care, it reminds them of obama care. it reminds them of all the broken promises. it reminds them of the power grab. it reminds them of the way democrats set up one set of rules for themselves and another for everybody else. >> well, you know, i don't know how he's thinking there. he's no fool, but he's a propagandist. because clearly the democrats were able to pass obama care. they were able to pass it even with the filibuster threat. so this has nothing to do with the president's health care plan. it just seems like why -- well, i don't know. it is plugging the fact they hate obama care. so no matter what anybody says, it was that old joke about rudy giuliani, n

dan coats was not one of them. and now it returns to the republican-controlled house.ning us is gregory angelo. appreciate you joining us today. i guess the first question i would ask you is, when we look at public opinion on an issue like gay marriage, for instance, one thing that jumps out at me is the country is moving, sort of past majority support now. most polls put support in the mid-50s, maybe the high 50s. but the breakdown is stark, democrats, like 80% or so, when you look at independents, it is well over 50%. republicans, it is down at like 20%. it is the same thing we poll other questions about gay rights. republicans, it is just dramatically lower, not just with the democrats, but with independents. what is it that makes the republican party in general so hostile is the word that comes to mind to legislation like enda? >> well, you know, first, a couple of things come to mind regarding the marriage issue. you say the numbers are low for republican support for civil marriage for same sex couples, the numbers are growing. the fact is also that there is consi

are doubling down today on the problems that be have plagued the obama care website with senator dan coatsof indiana delivering the weekly gop response. >> too many americans still cannot even access the online exchanges and for the few that have, their experiencing sticker shock. the president told us that obama care is more than a website. i agree. it it is more than just a website and the problems run far deeper than a few technological glitches. >> well, the white house released a progress report late friday on the website fix saying it is improving with users now waiting an average of less than a second for pages to load compared to eight seconds in the first few weeks. teams are working to improve the application process and increase system speed and efficiency. another round of fixes is planned for this weekend. in fact, i'm taking a look at a note being told from 9:00 p.m. tonight till 9:00 a.m. tomorrow morning, the website will be down and it will be fixed at that point. highway the online fixes may be coming, there's damage to the program's image. that has yet to be repaired. ho

good old 70-year-old senator dan coats worked his way up to the podium today and gave a 12-minute and 15-second statement, explaining why he was voting no, but he was the only one. not a single other republican has been willing to say anything out loud about why they were voting no on this thing. all the 2016 hopefuls in the republican party who are in the senate, all voted no on this, but none of them wanted to explain it. then there's the new abortion ban that senate republicans unveiled today with their big lindsey graham press conference. republicans, of course, spent last few years rolling back abortion rights in the states more aggressively than at any times in roe versus wade. and they have brought up anti-abortion bill after anti-abortion bill year after year. their first efforts came down to the efforts to defund planned parenthood. they have been more devoted to the anti-abortion issue than to almost anything else. and yet, at the same time, they're starting to seem a little politically shy about it. the sponsor of the new anti-abortion bill that they announced today, the se

republican opponents mostly stayed silent over three days of debate, but today indiana's dan coats warned bill could encroach on the religious beliefs of some employers. >> so there's two types of discrimination here that we're dealing with, and one of those goes to the very fundamental right granted to every american through our constitution, a cherished value of freedom of expression and religion. and i believe this bill violates that freedom. >> reporter: the bill does exempt religious institutions, but republican pat toomey of pennsylvania lost a bid to expand the number of groups that would qualify. the question now is whether enda will make it to the house floor. speaker john boehner's office issued a statement this week saying again he believes the bill is unnecessary and would subject businesses to frivolous lawsuits. >> ifill: reports of sexual assaults in the military surged nearly 50% last fiscal year. the pentagon said today the armed forces had more than 3,500 complaints, up from about 2,400 the previous year. officials said they can't tell if the spike signifies an actual in

. >> dana, yesterday we did the show from capitol hill and senator dan coats, republican from indianawhole thing, the whole filibuster reform and all that, bringing it down from 51 votes for the president's nominees, that was all just trying to change the subject. the truth of the matter is, i don't hear anybody talking about it today. >> well, in part because the senate's gone for two weeks which i think democrats may be lucky about. but -- >> they do still have mouths. >> they have mouths and they somehow know how to find the microphone, wherever they are. but to your point, you're right, they're not talking about it right now. we'll see what happens, the ramifications when you get to big legislation, if they actually bring up legislation, much less bills to fund the government but sort of their basic function. i think the point that he was making and you all are making about obama care is key, because as much as republicans are angry and calling it a power grab and washington run amok, they -- the biggest message that they have is that they're trying to change the subject from obam

as has the senior senator in our state, dan coats. after all, how can you tax people for not buying a product from a website that doesn't work? in addition, next week the house will take up the keep your health care act which will ensure plans available today in the individual market can continue to exist. no one should have to go to their inbox or mailbox in fear of finding out they're losing a plan they like or worse, a plan they need. and we're going to keep asking hard questions and having hearings so we can get to the bottom of this because the problem isn't just a website, it's the whole law. let's stop this train wreck now and give americans the basic fairness and peace of mind that they deserve. thank you for listening. >> congress will be out of session monday in observance of the veterans day holiday. both chambers return tuesday at 2:00 p.m. eastern. the house will consider a series of suspension bills with votes after 6:30. and over in the senate, time set aside for general speeches until 4:30 p.m. when senators will debat
