darrell issa. the wealthiest man in the congress. isn't going to like the last number we just brought up. he's a mean son of a gun, and he has a questionable past. check it out for yourself. issa is the chairman of the house oversight committee, but he's really the toxic leader of manufactured crisis in washington, d.c. the guy is a joke. he has wasted an enormous amount of taxpayer time and money. investigating bogus scandals. well, let's see. there is benghazi. there is the irs scandal. there's fast and furious. you know what came of those hearings? nothing. absolutely nothing. the list of fake scandals from issa is an attempt to do what, tear down the president of the united states. get the impeachment talk going in the house. earlier today, issa held another one of his dog and pony show hearings. his questionable hearing today was on the tech problems with obama care. it was an attempt to take away your health care. ironic that the richest member of congress wants to take health care away. healthcare.gov is working better every d

is darrell issa trying to hide the truth about obama care? text a for yes, b for no to 67622, and you can always go to our blog, ed.msnbc.com and leave a comment there. we appreciate it. and thanks for tweeting the program #atedshow. for more let's bring in congressman alan grayson of florida. great to have you with us tonight. >> thank you. >> do you even know what the republican agenda is? is it common knowledge what they're all about in washington, what they're working on? is it all about obama care? is that it? >> well, ed, i think that groucho marx summarized it very well in one of his movies where he sang a song with the lyrics, "whatever it is, i'm against it." and that's where we are right now. whether it's health care, housing, education or anything else, they're against it. they have been, they are, they always will be. >> so it's almost impossible to function in this environment. so, i mean, i would say that 2014 is going to be all about obama care. i mean, i don't see how the election could be centered around anything else. your t

the house oversight committee chair darrell issa is taking no prisoners. it is one of the top officials working to fix health care .gov. he is demanding chairman issa withdraw the subpoena. nice to see you, elise. who has been subpoenaed and thi why? >> it is the chief technology officer of the united states working in the white house and he has been enlisted to fixng the struggling health carry enrollment site.of he is t one of the main peoplee working to resolve this effort. >> i thought his boss where the buck stops was secretaryeo sebelius. >> are you right on both counts. bringing all of the talentt th they have to the table for this. he has done billions of dollars of work. they really trust him. it. they think he will be great. his colleagues have praisedll him, but now darrell issa saystl he needs to tell them what is. going on.do initially he refused to say that. >> when was he tasked to fix the site. >> i believe the beginning of october. as soon as they found out all of these problems wer happening that's when they brought the team in. >> and th

what this underscores is that the white house and darrell issa do not get along. e bottom line. it's a spat and caused another spat with congressional democrats batting back at issa. withdraw the subpoena and let this guy work. now there is this big tech campaign let todd work. >> does todd work on weekends? >> i imagine they do. >> actually the shutdown for maintenance so maybe they are doing it over the weekend. maybe he has the weekend free. >> right, you would think so. we know jeff zions is working around the clock although for no pay although i don't think he needs it. >> why is it so urgent to issa if he come -- willing to come november 30th. bic chance to look at the rollout. >> he can but he wants answers now. there is politics being played here. darrell issa has actually handled it very well. leaking documents internal h.h.s. memos. meeting notes all of us in the media have been interested in because they shed light on the amount of chaos first week of october. >> let me be sar sarcastic. >> finally gave them to congeght he has had to issue another subpoe

darrell issa with some tough questions for white house chief technology officer todd park.acknowledged that the problems welcome back unacceptable but also said that the website is getting better every day. we've seen the partisan battle lines drawn here already. issa blasting the rollout, calling it a monumental mistake to go live. also from the ranking member, elijah cummings, saying republicans have done nothing but try to derail obama care from the start. we're keeping our ear to this hearing and will keep you posted. >>> seldom if ever have politicians faced a more dramatically changing social and demographic landscape. the electorate is quickly getting more diverse. more hispanics, more unmarried voters, more support for issues like gay marriage. all of it posing a particular challenge for republicans. so yesterday rnc chairman reince priebus met with african-american business and community leaders in detroit. he announced the new michigan director of african-american engagement as well as creating the michigan black advisory council. some party leaders have been enco

. >> may i remind us this information comes from a leaked report from none other than darrell issa.ing to say he's got a little history of cherry picking the information he leaks. we saw that in the irs scandal where everybody went this direction. we get the facts and realize it's a totally different story than we thought. i want to remind us, there have been plenty of glitches. we think it's terrible. i'm not sure we should use darrell issa. >> a discount factor of 25 at least. >> so 31 people signed up. glen, go ahead. >> darrell issa aside, this is not going well. >> master of understatement. >> i would just like to point out that even darrell issa occasionally manages to get -- i think this was actually a fairly revealing document. hss, my reporting and others was pathetic. >> can we have that new yorker? i don't know if he was using a gordon gekko phone as he called hss but the lack of preparedness and coordination. that said, sam, the gold standard of health care pollers, the gold standard of health care polling, kaiser asks americans what would you like to see congress do whe

darrell issa is entering the room.resident's top technology man and others appearing on the hill. a bombshell report claims the website may not be fixed by that newly created deadline of november 30, not even close to that. mike, what a day this will be? >> reporter: there will be some tough questions from republicans on this committee because todd park, the white house chief technology officer, they had to subpoena him to get him to show up. he will be here and he will answer questions but you can expect there will be tension in the room as they try to get to what's being done to fix it, what went wrong and whether best technology practices were used in terms of starting this website. there is also a chief information foreofficer for the department of health and human services because some folks were defending todd park saying others should have known better. bill: there is darrell issa. just want to drop in here and get his opening statement. to our viewers at home we'll be taking commercials during these hearings bu

but whatever you do, do not try telling that to darrell issa. just look at what happens. >> more and more individuals are successfully creating accounts, logging in, and moving on to apply for coverage and shop for plans. >> we are not able to process nearly 17,000 registrations per hour or 5 per second with no errors. >> if you can tell us 17,000 are signing upper hour why is a subpoena unanswered as to how many have signed up? is please, don't answer yet. >> don't answer that. the chairman has not called this hearing for witnesses to answer questions. don't be ridiculous. and listen here. it's not for democrats to ask questions either. >> the gentleman's time is expired. >> mr. chairman, i would just ask the same amount of time you had. >> i let you and the question after your time has expired. the gentleman is recognized. >> you're not going to run a fair hearing, you're just going to go out and do this all the way. >> the witnesses are being badgered. >> kangaroo court is quite an accusation and i hope the gentleman from tennessee when he us

they tried to blame darrell is a issa, a frequent white house critic. >> we learned from selected cherry picked leaks from a republican committee, there are notes from a contractor that make estimates about figures. if the implication from this disclosure is that the website wasn't working effectively on october 1st, i think that is a dog bites man story. >> the document ethough, came from a war room inside kathleen sebelius' department, and issa today demanded to know then why a parade of top officials from jay carney to sebelius and one of her top deputies have refused to turn over the real enrollment figures. >> marilyn told us she doesn't have numbers. i'm sorry, but if you spend $600 million on your signature legislation and you have internal numbers and you're not willing to give external numbers, what you're doing is the kind of propaganda that this administration has done since day one. >> presidents aides have pledged to start revealing numbers at the end of october. they say it will take a couple weeks to nail down the details. >> why don't you at least put out a reasonable pre

darrell issa says these new rules could hurt the little guy. >> small grassroots organizations, perhaps an organization that is simply trying to speak out against somebody, some company hurting pets or small animals could find themselves objecting to political speech while a trade association or a union is completely exempt from these rules. >> reporter: ways and means chairman dave camp says his committee should be allowed to finish its probe, and the agency should not be rushing new rules. >> it will have a huge impact on political discourse, political speech, and i think anything we look at it should be restrictive of free speech in the political process. it looks as though it's going to quiet critics of the administration. >> some democrats say it's important to address this issue after more than $300 million were spent by tax-exempt organizations in the last election. maryland democrat congressman chris van hollen says, quote, the public has a right to know who is spending millions to influence the outof our election and we must put an toned the flow of secret money. but karl rove

first of all, jason and darrell issa, doing a wonderful job on this investigation in spite of the stone walling. and what the administration has done, they've done a huge document dump where it's just thousands of pages and not arranged in a manner that can be easily looked at. and it's purposely to evade the oversight responsibility that congress has. that's why i cosponsored the bill of congressman frank wolf to have an overside select committee. yes, darrell issa has been doing a great job, but they look at it from one angle and then something pops up in another one. it's like playing whack-a-mole. we need one dedicated committee to look at benghazi, find out what the administration did, where are the witnesses? and now we have a lot of conflicting accounts about what really was going on, what we know is this. there were nearly two dozen cia affiliated assets there on the ground in benghazi. who told them not to act? who told them to act? what happened? and why -- if we have nothing to hide as americans, let's put it all out there. we owe it to the families to be honest with the amer

they were released by darrell issa, a frequent critic of the administration.id today why doesn't the administration then if they are worried about how it's being released, put out the real enrollment numbers. >> i'm sorry. if you spend 600 million on your signature legislation and you have internal numbers and you're not willing to give external numbers, what you're doing is the kind of propaganda this administration has done since day one. >> jay carney pushed back on all this saying they knew numbers would be bad at the beginning and obviously that was exacerbated by the fact the website was not working well. they think the website is getting better now and as people shop around as you were just talking about over time they are actually going to start enrolling but on the question of why they haven't released some of their own numbers, here's what he said. >> why don't you at least put out a reasonable preliminary number and show us some transparency. >> we'll have a reasonable accurate number as we promised we would on a monthly basis consistent with the da

e-mail sent on the 25th to government colleagues and the website's contractors was aobtained by darrell issa. it references a meeting the previous day that included the president's chief technology administrator. he wrote, when they were here yesterday, one of the things todd conveyed was this fear the white house has about hc.gov being unavailable. chow warned park would be back for more answers on september 30th and wrote, i think we should have a more comprehensive answer as to how we will insure high availability on the site, while e-mails show alt least one top white house aide knew of a problem, obama suggested they were a surprise. >> we wouldn't have rolled out something knowing it wasn't going to walk the way it was supposed to. >> chow also suggested officials design a more palatable way to tell the public the site wasn't working, attaching this image that says the system is down and telling colleagues, quote, i'm picturing in my mind all the major print and online publications taking screen shots of what is below and ramping up the hyperbole of hc.gov not being effective. kathleen

because we've got -- we've gotten this from darrell issa the committee on oversight and government reform has release this and for the first time now we got the numbers. now it all becomes clear why everyone has been so very guarded about the numbers, chris. >> distract, delay, deny. wait until the news gets better and then you come back and say what's going on. that's been the case in politics long before barack obama was president of the united states. but that's a specialty of this administration. we've seen it on benghazi. we've seen it on a number of scandals facing the administration. they tried it on this one. unfortunately for them the stakes are too huge, too many millions of americans are involved. too much coverage is being disrupted. too much money is being spent. you can't say we'll holler back. >> they touted how they had over 20 million people who tried to access the website and six registered on day one. i want to say we reached out to the administration for a comment on these numbers. they have stressed to our own ed henry that these are not their numbers. they are not of

we start with darrel issa, the number one hater in the house of republicans. >> i think there's one thinge need to understand here too. it's not like the president doesn't want people to keep their health insurance and trying to be a jerk to be a jerk about this. if there was a way you could under the law make this work so people could keep the thing they wanted to keep, he would do it. the problem is this whole law was designed to have as little disruption as possible. this was the minimum amount of disruption possible. if you change this piece and bill clinton is engaging in basically magical thinking, you can snap your fingers and say go ahead, keep what you got -- >> only 5% of the country would have their insurance change, it has tons of -- already. >> most of the health care industry in this company is based on employer based plans, that's the middle and upper class concern, most of these people, including whoever our friends at the country music awards, out to the republicans in wall street editorial board, never gave a crap about anyone in this nonemployer based market. they don't

so, there's a lot of aspect to this, just phony stuff, you know, the smoking gun darrell issa produced a cable showing that secretary clinton lied under oath when she said she had no knowledge of the relates for security, and it ends up that the "washington post" shows that the cable was auto-penned and she had no knowledge of it, so sure. >> steven reiner is former producer for "60 minutes" and cbs, now professor of journalism at stony brook university. you were there during the rathergate phenomenon, the national guard story that became such a huge story. were you expecting more on sunday night? >> i was expecting more in the way of clarification and more in the way of transparency. i don't see a tremendous number of parallels between the rather story several years ago and this story. this is in a way much more straightforward, in my estimation. >> right. >> and it is -- >> the rather story was really a mystery. it was like, who the heck made these documents and how did they get out there? >> but one of the things about the rather story that wasn't a mystery was who the guiding force

to that point, there was even a video i have seen darrell issa suggesting that president obama to fomenteder to get sympathy and support for an assault weapons ban here in the united states of america. that's the level of crazy that they're accusing this president and this attorney general of. >> no. i mean, it's really disturbing that, you know, sort of crazy paranoid stuff that used to be sort of held off in a crazy paranoid corner and you have always had people in america on both sides and all sides, but especially on the right wing, having these kind of conservative theories but they're now right in mainstream politics and i think eric's right in particular about guns. that, you know, the notion that we ought to -- it's odd. there's an inconsistency here because they say on the nra and others, well, let's just enforce the laws we have. >> right. >> but then when somebody tries to just enforce the laws we have, they're accused of doing terrible things and using the government jack boots and all that. >> right. >> so there's a lot of craziness out there. particular craziness around guns.

and congressman darrell issa plans on holding hearings all around the country in the weeks ahead. nice way to celebrate christmas. anyway, it also lays out talking points. like premiums are increasing. millions of americans will lose the plan they have, and it's hurting job creation. how is that going? let's watch. >> every day, we hear heart-wrenching stories from americans. we're getting stories about their plans being canceled or the cost of their new plan is skyrocketing, or they can't keep their doctor. >> they're writing me about cancellation notices of plans they wanted to keep, rising premiums so their deductibles, some of them are doubling. they're paying more for health care. >> moms and dads are worried they're going to lose their health care plan. >> the final wave of the principle failure is going to be the cost. the idea that this was going to lower costs, they say it's going to raise the cost. >> young adults are now witnessing the increase in health care costs and are wondering whether they're going to be able to afford even a basic policy. >> millions of americans

representative darrell issa chairs the committee while elijah cummings serve as the ranking member. >> the committee will come to order. the oversight committee exists to secure two fundamental principles. first, americans have a right to know the money government takes involuntarily from them is well spent. second, americans deserve an efficient, effective government that works for them. our duty on the oversight and government reform committee is to, in fact, protect these rights. our solemn responsibility is to hold government accountable to taxpayers because taxpayers have a right to know the money government takes from them is well spent. it's our job to work tirelessly with citizen watch dogs to deliver facts to american people and bring genuine reform to federal beaurocracy. three and a half years ago, closer to four, in a partisan vote, the house of representatives passed the patient protection affordable care act, commonly referred to as obama care. the act gave this administration more than three years to implement, gave them virtually unlimited money, ensured them for all p

the documents are based on meetings at an obama administration war room obtained by congressman darrell issa, a republican from southern california. >>> every year millions of people donate their blood for free. but wait until you see what christin ayers discovered happens to those free donations. it's a story you will only see right here on kpix 5. >>> reporter: watson gives blood to help her community. >> saving a life is priceless. >> reporter: but her donation doesn't stay local or priceless for long. at blood banks like this one that the red cross runs in oakland, blood gets separated into products, red blood cells, plasma and platelets. >> we get the most out of each donation that way. >> reporter: the red cross's bay area spokesman jared schultzman says it's an expensive process. >> for us to collect, test and process the blood and distribute it, we incur great fees. >> reporter: the cost has to be passed on and that's why blood is big business. >> it is one very valuable commodity. >> reporter: arthur kaplan is one of the country's leading experts on blood. >> think of it as oil. it

darrell issa says these rules could hurt the little guy. >> small grass-roots organizations that is tryingout against a company hurting pets or small annmals could find themselves subjected to political speech while a ade association or union is completely exempt? >> dave kim says his committee shou be allowed to finish the program and they should not rush the rules. >> to have a strategic impact on discourse or speech anything we look that should not be restrictive. looks like it will quiet the critics of the administration. >> some say it is important to address after $300 billion was spent after the last election. '' mack the public has a right to know who is spending millions to influence the outcome of our election we must end the secret money. but karl rove says democrats did not have a problem when it was the group's backing them. >> it is interesting only started to happen when conservatives have done with the liberals have done for decades >> there will be a huge fight not in place for th 2014 cycle but a factorn the 2016 presidential election. ashley: the new york times reporting

domestic achievement that only six people signed up on day one and was criticized by congressman darrell issa the are no doubt there from a contractor about figures. if the website wasn't working on october 1, that is a dog bites man story i said demanded to know why a parade of top officials including kthleen sebelius did not give the information. >> if you have internal numbers and you're not willing to hear extra numbers, you are doing the kind of propaganda that this administration has done since day one. reporter: they say it will take a couple of weeks to nail down the details. >> why don't you put out a reasonable preliminary number and show us some transparency. >> we have a reasonable and accurate number as we promised we would on a monthly basis, consistent with the data release that you see other programs. the focus here is understandable on how low the number might be. reporter: jay carney said the republicans want to focus on the bad news and that democrats knew that would be slow at first but would pick up over time. the pressure to be transparent as coming from long time suppor

these are live pictures on the house oversight committee hearing, that's darrell issa.xpect? >> reporter: this hearing has been going on for half an hour and they just swore in the witnesses. the reason is because both the republican chair, darrell issa,, took a lot of time basically blaming the other for the partisanship that has been part of the rollout and the investigation into this rollout. when it comes to the republican chair, he minnesotaed no words in explaining how he feels about this roleout. listen to what he says. >> on october 1st, president obama said using it would be as easy as buying an airline ticket on kayak.com or buying a television on ma'am zon. this is an insut to amazon and kayak. on the day of the launch, president obama should have known the harsh lesson we have all learned since that time, and that was they weren't ready. they weren't close to ready. this wasn't a small mistake. this wasn't a scaling mistake. this was a monumental mistake to go live and effectively explode on the launch pad. >> reporter: and what the democrat just wrapped up

>> reporter: tori, oversight committee chairman darrell issa says hackers could get ahold of private, sensitive information from people who have used healthcare.gov. we're taking a live look right now at the hearing, where the chief project manager for the website and others will answer tough questions. issa told the witnesses they were not ready and neither was the website. >> this wasn't a small or scathing mistake. this was a monumental mistake to go live and effectively explode on the launchpad. >> reporter: issa released documents this week showing where the healthcare.bov officials knew where there were high security risks and moved forward with the october 1st date anyway. they did not test the website from end to end. he said website troubles are not because of technology failings but rather because an administration was willing to cut corners and meet political deadlines. republicans are focusing on what's not working rather than what is with the president's healthcare law. i will continue to watch this hearing and have testimony from both sides after 8:30. live in washington

darrell issa is not happy about that, writes in response.ican people before their elected representatives, what went wrong. simply media outlets that white house officials deemed an appropriate use of your time away from working on the website project. as we talk about and problems persist and people are having trouble signing on to the website, having trouble getting insurance, poll numbers continue to dip for the administration. president overall right now according to pew 41% approve the president's job performance. 53% disapprove. break that down to health care, 59% disapprove of the president's handling on health care issues. approve, only 37%. so certainly taking a hit in the polls from the problem that continue to playing healthcare.gov. sometime this week according to the administration we'll get those numbers. back to you. ashley: we shall see as they say, rich edson, thank you very much. >> thanks so much. >> goose prices below $3 in some parts of the country. -@i saw 3.303 by me in new jersy the other day. oh, yeah. sandra smith i

congressman darrell issa is issuing a subpoena to president obama top technology advisor todd park. issa wants park to testify before committee next week. the white house says park is willing to testify, but must continue to focus on fixing that website. >> even though it's a small percentage of folks who may be disadvantaged it means a lot to them. it's scary to them. and i am sorry that they, you know, are finding themselveses in this situation, based on assurances they got from me. >> so far we know that one in 4 million americans have been dropped from the healthcare plans due to the new regulations set in place by obamacare. the numbers are expected to get higher. a the president apologizes this week to those who never expected to lose their coverage, thousands remain upset over the president's broken promise if you like your healthcare plan, you could keep it. laurie and curtis mulholland love their healthcare plan and are shocked to learn they will be drop and the costs costs will double from what they are paying and look ahead to $6,000 deductible for services they say they

and congressman darrell issa is going on tour. yes. it's the misinformation tour.ding pointless hearings around the country trying to highlight problems with the law. well, guess what, folks. here's the reality. just like the shutdown, they're misreading the public again. yes, there are problems. but look at these numbers. 58% of americans don't want to repeal it. they might want changes, but they want to keep the law. last i checked, that's a majority. and more people are signing up for the exchanges every day. 56% found them easy to use. again, a majority. but not in republican fantasy land. they're going all in again. they just can't help themselves. the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. joining me now is congressman jim mcdermott, democrat from washington. thanks for coming on the show tonight. congressman, the republicans are planning to attack. how will democrats respond? >> well, first of all, the american people are smarter than the republicans take them to be. they have been saying this for three

after a house oversight committee hearing we have heard from darrel issa he reflected on the rollout. >> this is one of the greatest management breakdowns one could find. we had in front of us the chief information acted technology people working for the president on this signature project and to a person they would not take any responsibility. >> now if you compare the enrollment numbers to the staggering 5 million who have lost their insurance since the rollout. in response the department of health and human services compared this to the state marketplace rollout in massachusetts. we also heard the white house comparing it to that state as well. they did lower expectations yesterday. >> no one will be satisfied with the numbers, because they will be low what we sought prior to the launch. >> looking forward senate democrats will meet with administration officials today while house lawmakers are looking to vote on a bill tomorrow allowing insurance companies the option of continuing existing plans for a year. we will see. heather, ainsley, back to you guys. >> elizabeth prann reporti

joining me now, the chairman of the committee, darrell issa, and congressman, welcome to the program. >> well, thank you, sean, and thanks for covering this issue of what is clearly a serious allegation. >> well, let's just assume that the source they cite is accurate. what does that mean? would that have an impact on the electoral results. what could be the impact? >> well, it is certainly an indication that we have a government not telling us the truth. we have had lies about benghazi, lies and lies and lies that if you like your health insurance you can keep it. it is a pattern of lies that is really concerning. it is a government of the people, for the people and by the people. you should be able to trust the government. and census data, in particular, is used all over wall street, and the government. it is absolutely critical that that information be accurate and the accuracy be impeccable. >> congressman issa? >> well, blake is exactly right. so many parts of the private sector and government depend on the accuracy of this data. and the integrity of the census bureau has to be r

it was released by a republican critic, darrell issa, but he's getting information from the administrationeresting because it may explain why kathleen sebelius and other top officials have been refusing to give us these numbers. take a listen. >> i want to give you reliable, confirmed data from every state and from the federal marketplace. we have said that we will do that on a monthly basis by the middle of the month. you will have that data, but i don't want to turn over anything that is not confirmed and reliable. >> reporter: now, the next step in all of this is that the administration has been saying for a couple of weeks now that they will give us enrollment figures at the end of the first month. obviously, now that halloween is past, november 1st, here we are. do we get the numbers today? early next week? in fairness, there's still information coming in from call centers, various web sites and, obviously, it's pretty obvious now there have been web site problems, so whether that information comes in quickly or not is a big question. maybe it's early next week. martha: one person who
