. >> congressman chris van hollen, always good to have you on the program. >> thank you. >> so, reid, the republicans serious? do they think that they can repeal this or is it more about firing up the base and a political calculation that, frankly, talking about this is more helpful than harmful by taking romney off message about the economy? >> well, again, as ann brought up, this is sort of the reaction the day after. but in the long run, reconciliation process that you brought%o up is a serious possibilit possibility, a serious way to go about repealing the health care law. i mean, this is why the battle for the senate is so important as democrats have 53 seats but they are also defending 23 in this cycle, including a lot of very competitive racesç in ope seats and states like north dakota and nebraska. they don't have much of a margin to work with here if they end up -- if republicans end up with the majority of 2013. well, they are going to have a good shot at doing something via are reconciliation. >> ann, this will be an election that can be fought on margins and little thing

i want to bring in congressman chris van hollen, democrat from maryland.see you congressman. good morning. >> good morning. >> so, what about those critics who say that this is not about executive privilege based on principle t is about getting the republicans off the message of the economy? >> well, i think that's nonsense. nobody likes to be held in contempt, but what you have here is one of the most extreme houses we have ever seen. as you know, never in history has the house of representatives decided to bring a contempt citation against an attorney general of the united states, not even newt gingrich, who led one of the most partisan houses, did that with respect to janet reno. so, what you have got here is just a runaway extremist right-wing house and nothing more to it than that. >> a lot of people have reminded the white house, the republicans, that back in 2007, when barack obama was a senator, he criticized president bush for invoking executive privilege. let me play that four u. >> there has been a tendency on the part of this administration to

i've heard james clyburn and chris van hollen all reference a one-year delay. so, unfortunately, the right answer is rebecca's and i completely agree. it's not how the town works, and that's not how we would back into sequestration. frankly we're in now year four of d.o.d.'s endless state of debilitating strategic review and the strategy is changing. i don't like it and it hasn't been a consensus strategy, but it's been changing so quickly that the budgets can't keep up, overlaid with the budget-driven decisions by congress and the white house, so that would be the thing that should happen, and unless you're having a sweep of congress in the white house, it wouldn't. i agree that that would be the right thing to do. >> tom? >> robert kennedy once commented that americans are not well informed, but they are highly entertained. and i think one reason we're here right now is to try to help the process of getting americans well informed, and what they need to be informed about is that through some mechanism or another this whole process has got to be at the very mi

maryland's democratic congressman chris van hollen joins us this morning. thanks for talking with us. >> great to be with you. >> thank you very much. a lot of conversation this week has been on what the supreme court ruled on, which was immigration. when i was talking to carlos gutierrez, his consistent message was forget about mitt romney, let's talk about what obama has done or hasn't done maybe is a better way of doing it. doesn't he have a point, immigration reform, there was an opportunity, was not done. when you look at the record number of people being deported, that's something the president has done. isn't this on immigration kind of a mixed bag for the president snd. >> i don't think so, soledad. the president did say he was going to make sure he enforced the law with respect to people here illegally. he did that. but he also said he was going to push very hard to make sure that the dreamers, young people who were brought here of no fault of their own, have an opportunity of a good life here in the united states and can contribute to our country

you have members like representative chris van hollen, a democrat and obviously cathy mcmorris rogersgest challenge is going to be the money. in this time, fred, you well know, it's tight fiscal times. will they be able to get the bill passed? there's a federal impact on the federal coffers if you set up the accounts tax-free. fingers crossed. the disability committee would really like to see something like this passed. we'll see what happens. >> you mentioned she's a political rising star. to what degree is -- you know, a white house-type of job you know, something that people are seeing? >> reporter: possibly the vice president. lisa raleigh, her name calmy ca came up as a possible running mate for romney. there are only a couple of women whose name, featuring prominently. one because she a working mom. named by the romney campaign to be the house liaison for the campaign. so she is definitely on their radar. we'll see. she's not in the top five picks, but she is certainly on a list of about a dozen names that frequently come up. >> thank you, lisa silvestre. >>> are you planning on

for more on that let me bring in chris van hollen, democrat congressman from maryland. good morning, congressman. >> good morning. great to be with you. >> on thursday, the individual mandate will not survive, it seems to be f supreme court overturns health care, what do you do? what do democrats do? >> chris, of course, we don't know what the supreme court is going to do i think there is a decent chance it does survive. after all, the irony here is that obama care was based on the same principles as romney care around understood that in order to prevent people from being discriminated against for things like pre-existing conditions, you needed everybody in the pool. look, chris, this was our proposal. we put this out there. the reality is major pieces of this are very popular with the american public. there's been a lot of disinformation with respect to other pieces that are going to combo, in combo, into play later on. >> let me play devil'sed a vo cat, you and other democrats argued, you want to protect average working american, make sure the maximum number of people

we had on just a few moments as you may know chris van hollen from the other side, democrat of marylandhe says this is whatever the supreme court says, not really a tax. the extent of individuals to buy health care coverage, what is really at work here is forcing those individuals to take personal responsibility for their health care, join in to the system so that they are not, quote, freeloading the system. how do you respond to that? >> under penalty of law with the irs enforcing it. this law was a bad idea when it was passed. the american people oppose it. we will as house republicans push forward as diligently as we can to repeal the entire piece of legislation. not just because of the tax but removes $500 billion from medicaid. puts in place a 15-member board to determine what kind of care is paid for for seniors and violates the principles we hold dear with health care. accessibility. affordnability affordability. quality and choices. the american people went repeal and then moving forward to solve the challenges we face without putting washington this charge. >> you mentioned pat

want to go to democratic congressman chris van hollen from maryland.o talk about this sir, a lot of political capital spent on trying to make sure this happened for the american people. certainly from your own stake in things what is the message for you coming out of this and do you think this is a validation of sorts for the obama administration and your democratic congressional colleagues? >> i think it is a validation of the administration, not because they did such a great thing, which they did but because of the impact on the american people. a big fight, disappoint bug not surprising that house republicans are talking about another vote to repeal health care which means repealing all the protections that are already in place for people, kids who can't be denied because of pre-existing conditions but also to repeal the provisions that will take place, lower health care costs and expand accessç all americans. dispinting but not surprising given everything in the republican house is political these days. >> what is your reaction, the mood for your

life expected act, and it has been introduced the the the house and the senate, and you have chris van hollening up behind the bill, and representative kathy mcmorris rodgers and the one hiccup may be the cost because it is raising eyebrows and takes away money, federal dollars out of the coffers, but whether it is the autistic or the down syndrome community, there is a lot of support for this, and that is one of the number one issues there, michael. >> well, we mentioned she is a rising star in the gop, but what are realistically the chances of her becoming mitt romney's vice president? >> well, she is not in the top five, and you don't hear her in the top five, but there are a dozen or more people's names who are mentioned, and she one of them. when it comes to women, there are only a couple of women who are mentioned on that list. she being one of them. so if mitt romney decides to go to pick a female candidate as the v.p. running mate, but she stands a good chance, and even still, she is somebody who is rise ing rising in the ranks of the republican party, and recently named as the romney

ruling but you see them turning their back on a fellow democrat and on the president's man, chris, congressman van hollen. it seems you have got democrats running away from the president and the attorney general. >> well, yuan, -- juan, what i think you have and i'm not judging any particular member's decision but what i have think you have got in a lot of these close races we were just talking about close races in the earlier conversation we had. you have got members from very close races, where the nra, for better or for worse, can carry a lot of sway. i think the fact that the nra weighed in on this thing shows a crass political motive to get eric holder. they, in fact, sent a letter to darrell issa and others saying that they had a big beef with eric holder. not about this particular but in general. they have turned this into a -- this is about them out to get eric holder and of course ultimately the president. >> let's move on to the other big news coming tomorrow. tomorrow is is a mega news day because the supreme court ruling on healthcare is due. now, if the supreme court rules its unconstitution

this is a piece of legislation by representative chris van hollen, very die madamic leader, a gentleman from maryland, and it requires -- has where you have a situation where some billionaire takes their personal money, dumps it in the superpac and the superpac spends the money and we don't know who is spending the money. under the disclose act we find out the identity of some of those people. by the way, some of the money we are creeping into american elections very well could be money from foreign sources. senator mccain very correctly pointed out that there's one wealthy individual who has been putting a lot of money into election campaigns and is a billionaire and owns a casino in china and is getting -- he's using his wealth to influence american elections. so that's foreign money if that's the way it is. the thing is we do not want people outside the united states trying to shape the elections in our country. and so this is the thing we are moving forward. overturn citizens united. amend and disclose. amend the constitution and disclose secret donors. and i close on this, mr. spea
