crowley, let's talk some turkey.ke murphy has a post-op in time saying the white house has come to the shaky conclusion that the president's best tactic is continue the campaign theatrics and force the gop congress to bend to his will. he writes the president must abandon the silly campaign 3.0 stuff and face reality and since magic doors one lock the door to the votes "some beneficiaries pay more and change cpi," which is budgetary code for slyly lowering budget increases over time. what do you think of this strategy? do you think republicans will come to the table and say let's put entitlement reform on the table in some sense? >> i think big entitlement reform the republicans are talking about is not going to happen. i think chain cpi is within the realm of reality. i think what democrats are not going to do is cut entitlements if republicans are not willing to move givagain on revenue. democrats feel even though they got some revenue in the fiscal cliff deal, it hasn't been a balanced process. i don't think they'

state of the union host candy can crowley is in washington this morning. what's at stake here?en to. you have some folks on the republican side saying, this is not going to be the disaster everyone says it's going to be. on the other hand, we have had nothing but a stream of scenarios coming out of the administration, including the faa saying flights are going to be delayed because we have furlough some -- some of the control operators in the tower. you've had people say, we're going to are to close down some meat processing plants because there won't be, you know, inspectors have to be furloughed. we can't send a carrier to the persian gulf, et cetera, et cetera. so, there are consequences. there will be consequences. it won't happen right away, which says to me that in that window between march 1st and when things really start affecting the public, there will be room to kind of try to figure something out. but i don't think they're going to figure anything out between now and march 1st. i can pretty much tell you that. >> yeah, because it's this friday. is president obama agr
