cupp. in the cross fire senator jon tester, a montana democrat and senator roger wicker, a mississippi republican. spending our way to disaster tonight on cross fire. >>> welcome. i'm van jones on the left. >> i'm s.e. cupp on the right. democrats suffered a major blow to their 2014 prospects today when the single worse headline arose from the hill saying affordable care act will reduce full time employment by 2024. there is back and forth about what is in the report. let me just read it to you. the aca will reduce the total number of hours worked on net by about 1.5% to 2% from 2017 to 2024. almost entirely because workers will choose to supply less labor given new taxes and other incentives they will face and the financial benefits some will receive. so in plain english obamacare will disincentivise work. president obama is trying to distract you from the fact in a recent google hangout a fry cook asked the president about his hours being cut because of the affordable care act obama's res

cupp. congressman cole, what happened?ess than two weeks ago speaker boehner's releasing a statement of principles, talking optimistic about immigration reform. and now what? what happened? >> i think actually people overread both of those incidents. we have begun a dialogue and conversation inside the republican conference on this. i think that's good. step by step progress is still out there. whether or not democrats want to work that way is unclear. but you could get a border security bill through, hb 1 visas through, seasonal labor. i think there's still a path there. but it's political reality. there's a lot of division on the issue. >> can we acknowledge the excuse that the speaker used, it's the president and republicans can't trust him. can we acknowledge that was a pretty lame excuse? this was about opposition within the republican conference. >> look, i was at the conference where this was discussed. there is a great deal of scepticism and concern. the president changed on immigration before. he said something he

cupp and jeffrey toobin is who still with us. things he said, the history of the nation has always been to try to expand the franchise, whether it's freed slaves, women, young people, we've always found ways to make it easier to vote. we've always found ways in which we've made the voting process more inclusive. so what do you think about this? is this likely to go anywhere? what is your sense? >> well, he has -- the justice department has filed lawsuits against north carolina and texas to try to overturn their photo i.d. laws and other laws passed in the wake of the supreme courts gutting of the voting rights act. i think the speech today about a felon voting is all part of eric holder i think trying to reorient his tenure as attorney general away from things like national security and towards civil rights, which is, i think what he'd rather be concentrating on than other areas that have given him a lot of problems. >> where do you stand on this, s.e.? >> i think republicans often get into trouble and i'm not surprised that rand

cupp and ryan lizza.hearing about this latest developments, documents actually handed over? >> well, to be totally honest, there is not information leaking out about what is in the documents? but i think overall what has happened over the last week is the entire nuke clcleus of the christie campaign. the other piece of news today is that michael duham ece, who hast been subpoenaed, he's a top christie political adviser. he was supposed to be somebody important in 2016, he's hired counsel. he's hired a lawyer. because if he is subpoenaed, he wants to be able to act quickly. so this entire pivot that christie is making towards 2016 is being completely dominated and slowed down because of this investigation. another aide on friday, we talked about this this week, resigned on friday and two of his former aides are taking a fifth. >> three if you include david wildstein. all three associates, deputy chief of staff, campaign manager, wildstein taking the fifth. and now some are saying they don't want to hand ov

one person who can really relate to the body image battle is cnn cross fire host se cupp speaking outid you feel moved to write this piece? >> it is not something i talk about often or at all in public. when i saw the footage of rachael on "the biggest loser" i had the same reaction that a lot of people had. she looks really thin and i was immediately brought back to the times in my life where i have struggled with eating disorders and thought this next year ahead for her is going to be really challenging. there is a euphoria and an addiction and intoxication that comes along with losing that much weight, the attention you get and watching the numbers click down on the scale and watching clothes change sizes. it all becomes addictive. unless you are emotionally and mentally prepared to stop when you get to a dangerous point that can very easily spiral out of control. >> i want to talk about society's obsession right now with thin. i want to specifically talk about your story. you were a ballet dancer. and you write in this piece about really going to startling lengths. you talk about
