bob beckel of the 5 suggested they put it on hold for six months while they sort of fix these problems. according to bob, his word, is he got a call from the white house actually bludgeoned him over suggestion that they put it on hold for six months so they can fix these things. they are digging their heels in deep. >> they're digging in deeper. look, the president gave a waiver to employers by waiving the employer mandate for the 2014, it goes into effect january 1st of 2015. that's the requirement that employers provide coverage or pay a $2,000 person fine. now, that is saving corporations $15 billion in fines according to the cbo estimate. the president will not waive the individual requirement which means that there will be $12 billion taken out of the pockets of individual americans. it will happen in 2015 when they pay their taxes. i think the reason the president waived the employers was employers would start making those decisions next year to dump coverage for their employees rather than pay the fine. whereas the fine to be paid by individuals doesn't show up until after the 2

i spoke to bob beckel at the play. he came to see it with me.y famous for being a recovering alcoholic. he spreads this message everywhere. is he not shy about it. let's hear what he had to say. >> the real crisis going on is binge drinking where kids on college campuses drink only on weekends and a lot of them die. the only thing people need to remember about this disease of alcoholism, it will kill you. it's not a benign disease. it's not something that you can laugh at or just another drunk in the gutter. it kills you. >> at the play there were a lot of college students there. and they were talking about the play afterwards and the play is being funded by hazleton stomach wanted going on college tour. 45 tickets. recovering alcoholics. it's really quite an experience there. >> you talked to the audience members after seeing this play. what was their response? >> the emotion was unbelievable, clayton, they were really connecting. you got it see it we looked at them anonymously. you will not see the faces in this clip. you got to see how it's a

bob beckel and i wrote this book together. we have another column coming up thursday in "usa today." i think one of the breakdown problems in washington is that nobody knows each other anymore. we're all defined by labels, left and right, republican, democrat and nobody takes the time to build personal relationships. that is one of the destructive things i've seen in my years in journalism in this town. people don't take time to get to know each other. they get on tv they repeat the same old sound bites we have heard over and over again and nothing gets accomplished and the reason for that is the various interest groups who supply the money to both sides want it one way and one way only. compromise now is viewed as the language of the devil and if you compromise you can even be called the devil. >> the president said he wouldn't compromise on any of this legislation. >> you know the president of course when he was in the senate said that voting to raise the debt ceiling which he voted against when he was a senator is an indica

martha: all right, we're going to keep an eye on this, and we want to bring in bob beckel because wehis reaction to what's going on here, and he joins me now, former democratic campaign manager and co-host of "the five." good to have you with us. obviously, a big story this morning, that millions of people who have a plan will not be able to keep it. the president had assured them that they would. now we're looking at millions of people who will not be that situation. what do you make of that and this hearing that we're watching play out here? >> well, straight political theater. i'm glad i had a chance to stays partisan as i expected it to be. let's go back here, look, should obama have said this flatly, you can keep your insurance? no. it was politics. it was a campaign. nobody really knew. but the point is that when these guys say millions -- that's not true at all -- they said their constituents want their health care, they like their health care, that's not true. they're getting lousy health care insurance in most parts, and the reason that they're getting cut back by the insura
