christopher hahn, where does that leave them now? >> again, we're talking about the facts of the case, they want documents that were attorney-client privilege about advice and how to handle different requests from congress. they are not going to get that. they are looking for a cover up, something that they could say, what did the attorney general know and when did he know it? i think darrell issa and the rest of the republicans in congress should start figuring out ways to get people to work in this country and stop going on witch hunts against the president of the united states. shannon: a lot of americans are very interested in what happened on fast and furious. >> people love a scandal. shannon: any chance that this backfires on the republicans, that they are viewed as pushing too hard. >> certainly they have the vast majority of the news media going with the obama camp and they'll tow the chris hahn line on this. we have at least one border patrol agent killed by weapons provided to the drug cartel by the attorney general. do th

joining me now to discuss it, christopher hahn who's a former aide to new york senator chuck schumernd chris plant who's the radio host of the chris plant show. chris plant, does that become a political issue, or do people forget about that? >> oh, it's going to be one of the centerpieces of the political debate between now and election day. the president was against the individual mandate before he was for it and insisted that it wasn't a tax before it was a tax. again, they sold it, and you saw on the interview with the clinton administration official there, they sold it as not being a tax, and they argued it before the supreme court as being nothing but a tax. this is his signature achievement, and it's one of if not the largest tax increase in american history, and it's a tax increase on the middle class, thank you very much. >> okay. >> yeah, and it will affect people that can least afford it. i know that democrats are going to want to celebrate this, and use these tired old phrases like energizing the base, but this is, i think, contributing to what's going to be a wave electio

joining me christopher hahn and chris plante.as an interesting column in "the weekly standard." he did six fundraisers for himself in surrounding states. he was 30 miles away. even though the democratic candidate was practically begging him to come help. >> the president tweeted in his favor about 12 hours before the polls opened. that was about it. obviously the president wanted nothing to do with this. they kept arm's length if not 10-foot pole distance. i think it reason is it puts the spotlight on the failed liberal program. i mean, wisconsin is a microcosm of what barack obama is doing to the united states. the structurally corrupt relationship between the public sector unions and the democrat party. to draw attention to the failure of wisconsin would serve to draw attention to the failure of the broader democrat project which barack obama is trying to inflict on the rest of us as he flies around at these $40,000 a head gathering. megyn: you can understand the white house reasoning. even though the republican was ahead by a

. >> christopher hahn is a former aide to new york democrat senator chuck zoomer and a fox news contributorplant is video host of the chris plant show. chris hahn let me start with you on this. did the obama administration need to do this? they won three out of four arguments in arizona, did they then need to pull the ability of the local law enforcement in arizona to enforce the federal law, the federal law that is in place on the books? >> you know, rush has got this all wrong. they are still going to send help when there are criminals involved in immigration stops. megyn: not if they are not convicted fell ons. not if they are not convicted fell ons or recent -- wait, let's just make that clear, there are three categories of arrestees that the feds will send ice down to go arrest, if you get pulled over in your car and arizona law enforcement calls ice and says, hey i got somebody he may be an illegal immigrant. felons, people who have already been deported or people who recently crossed the border illegally. everyone else they are ignoring. >> right, they are not coming to the aid of a

megyn: joining me now, chris plante, host of the chris plante show, and fox news contributor christopher hahn to democratic senator chuck schumer. guys, welcome. already the rnc hitting him with a ad. mitt romney with a rapid response on that as well. even the "huffington post" describes it as a gaffe. chris hahn, as democrat is that a gaffe. >> fine is not excellent. megyn: no, it is not. >> private sector is gearing up. it added 4.5 million jobs under this profit. profits have never been higher. executive compensation has never been higher. megyn: 23 million americans are unemployed. >> that's right. the difference between president obama's recovery and recovery the let as say ronald reagan, the public shedded almost half a million jobs under president obama where in reagan's time it added a million jobs during the same time period in his press densy. right now what is dragging the economy down is our austerity at state and local level forcing governments to lay people off in record numbers adding to unemployment roles and weakening the economy. megyn: that is exactly the point the presiden
