chris han, what do you make of all this? >> it's hard to defend and i'm not going to try to go in there and -- there was clearly a breakdown in communication, there were people in the administration who knew this was a bad bet, yet, it moved forward, so i'm wondering where that breakdown was. that said this loan program has been around since 2005, the loan was in process in 2008, they wanted to see some early results from the stimulus, so this was pushed through. but this goes to a broader question of what's going on in the political operation in the white house where they allow things like this to get through. i mean, if there's someone who knew this was a problem they should have been listened to in the meetings in the white house but they weren't and this is the second time i've been on having to deal with an issue like this and i'm wondering what's going on in that regard. that said i want to see more investment in green energy and i know the republicans are going to demagogue and say listen, this shows we shouldn't be i

alisyn: chris han, chris plante, thank you for the debate. >> the tax topic will get plenty of attention at the gop debate, hosted by fox news and google, bret baier will be moderator, ph*elg -- megyn kelly and chris wallace will be on the panel, and shannon bream online. it starts at 9:00 p.m. eastern on fox. don't miss it. >>> do you know the muffin stphapb i think frank zappa asked that. turns out he lives in d.c. and charges 16 bucks a pop for a muffin! >>> later in the show, we'll tell you about major food budget issues at the u.s. justice department. >>> and while president obama was addressing the united nations, guess what was going on in the west end? we're going to take you to the front lines of some very serious protests, next. alisyn: we have an update now on that story we told you about earlier, about these new building rules in san francisco. the city is trying to cut down on the number of bird deaths from hitting glass windows. so it is going to require new buildings to use bird-safe glass. supporters say the plan could save millions of birds per year. well, millions sound

jonah goldberg from the national review, fox news contributor, and also with us, chris han, democraticnd chris, how you doing today, good morning my friend! >> good morning. bill: i want you to react first, chris, but also react to this. we asked who you prefer among democrats, president obama or hillary clinton. almost one third of the people we asked, 27 percent, say they prefer hillary clinton. now, what's going on here on the left? >> you know, i don't belong to an org need party, i'm a democrat, and sometimes we tend to fight amongst ourselves a lot and it gives openings to the gop. i think that's why the president over the weekend at the congressional black caucus said stop complaining. i don't think he was talking to them specifically, i think he was talking to the progressive phaoplment generally, we've got to work together or we're going see president romney orioo. >> democrats are always looking to who else can do this or be better at that. that's the way we are. we don't tend to unite around a single candidate in this party. it's been our problem for a generation. it's why r

mig joining me, christopher han, former aide to chuck schumer and chris phraupbte, host of the chris phraupbte show. what the man has said is the president is done, he's had one fund-raiser every 3 1/2 days since he announced his reelection bid on april 4th. that's a lot of campaigning. his goal is to raise a billion dollars. can we stick a fork in the governing at this point? >> absolutely not. charles knows better. that's a red herring argument if i've ever heard one before. the president has got to take his message on the road because congress ain't going to do anything with it unless the people get involved. he's doing what reagan did in '# one when the congress wouldn't pass his tax plan, he's doing what truman did. this is not uncommon for a president to take his message on the road. is he going to raise money? absolutely. he's got a firestorm of corporate dollars going against him in the next election, thanks to citizens united, he needs a billion dollars to get his message out there to be on a level playing field for what is to come. megyn: charles seems to be speaking not ju
