joining me with more, fox news senior political analyst brit hume. back explains some of the determination that republicans, including ted cruz and others that feel as he do have shown in recent weeks and will continue to show more, brit, now that we're seeing the law suffer such problems. >> no doubt about it, megyn. and of course this problem with the rollout we're seeing you have gone into at such length tonight is an illustration of how fragile this measure was because it did not have a single republican vote behind it when it passed in the house, after it squeaked through the senate, barely. that means the other party has -- no one in that party has any stake in this bill at all, in this measure at all. their opposition to it is not only intense in some places, but they were all against it, it is unanimous. so you don't have any political underpinning that previously enacted entitlement programs have. >> good point. you have half the country, more than half, and half the legislators at least in the house and pretty much in the senate rooting aga

you know when george osborne suggested the brits are such a great he was referring to those in the jumper class the sort that jumps off apple factories after months of hard low paid labor now that's straight to a new liberal potentate right stacy herbert yes max even george osborne is kind of a fair weather friend to america because while de gong was downgrading the u.s. debt and gold was soaring and heading east he was over there in the east as well he was heading over there with the gold well as you say he called britain second rate george osborne says second rate britain must rediscover its can do attitude chancellor dismisses suggestions that china has a sweatshop economy and wishes britain would be more like the communist country. you know he wants brits to work for lower wages that's why the bank of england so they're going to keep interest rates low in seoul employment goes higher that means that they want wages to trend lower to be on a par with china so that everyone employed but making subsistence wages used to be here subsistence farming used to be the rigueur economic model he

one brit told me many london, as america's economy goes, so does great britain's. republicans need to realize when they play games with default, their actions affect the entire world. the people i spoke to in london also call republicans extremist. they couldn't believe a small group of radical republicans could have that much power and possibly inflict that much damage on the world. i want to point out there is nothing extreme about social security. there's nothing extreme about medicare and medicaid, and there's nothing extreme about providing every american with health care. we are way behind the curve. i believe this and so do the folks across the pond. i tweeted out, man on the street conversation in the uk. why does your media want health care to fail? now, this was several days ago in london when i tweeted this out. they don't have these conversations. they've gone beyond that. their media doesn't attack universal health care the way we do. is there view of humanism different? are we that far behind the curve? do we really believe that we must have political

we have team fox coverage, chief correspondent ed henry, and stu varney, and brit hume, senior political analyst, we begin with ed. >> the president is not coming out on camera, not going to say anything, or make any news. clearly no deal tonight. the president is largely on the sidelines, meeting with house democrats today but has not met with any republicans because he has had the stance of not voting directly over the potential default and reopeninggovernment. the white house strategy is let this play out. force john boehner and other republican leaders to show their hand, and in fact, they believe here at the white house that they were closing in on a deal last night with senate leaders inching forward. but then john boehner came out with two different plans tonight, neither of which he had the vote to get through the chambers, the point tonight, senate leaders are back negotiating. harry reid and mitch mcconnell, what they're closing on is reopening the government on january 15th, getting the debt ceiling raised through february 7th, and having broader budget talks, they're promisin

fox news senior analyst brit hume joins us.ice to see you, brit. >> thank you, greta. >> her family says she is not going anywhere. any thoughts? >> i don't think she is going anywhere either. >> i don't either. >> the principle reason being for the president to fire her or accept her resignation at this point would be to acknowledge that all the things that people have been saying, including all these republicans who are fighting him on this about obama care and its roll-out are true. now, they are papbly true, and people see that. but this is kind of an acknowledgment they wouldn't want to make. the other thing is in some cultures when you have a fiasco like this, somebody steps up and says and once upon time perhaps in america somebody said it's my fault. i quit. you remember rumsfeld as defense secretary when no wmd were found in iraq. and after abu ghraib, he offered to resign. after abu ghraib initially. and president bush didn't accept it. he later offered again. but you don't see that very much anymore. it's a lost -- i

talk to us about moving forward and high brit hybrid identities that can really make some peace here.> thank you. one way to bring my thesis on hybrid identities and the question about peace an justice in this particular instance between israel and palestinian. like adam and everybody on the program is sympathetic b to the organizing. i don't think that effectiveness should be interpret changes in the context of the israel-palestinian. it should rather a protest of a variety of movements and some fact finding and various cultural activities and so part and so fh that create the effectiveness of the bds. overall it's not going to act constricconstructively when talg about peace building and change. it can shame israel and put israel in a very complicated position. but the heart of the issue from my perspective is a real need to debate, to contest and to rethink how really questions of citizenship and identity in the context of israel. my work i look at sub nationally. you mentioned palestinian israelis. >> i need you to wrap up and the hybrid eye identities and how they help. >> the hy
