dr. gruber i think could be regard the as the architect of romneycare but he was a consultant, one of manyn the issues around how to frame the subsidies. he was not an author of the bill itself. he didn't influence the members of congress who actually wrote the legislation. and i think that, you know, he is making some headlines which is unfortunate. >> sebelius's remarks come as gruber is once again making headlines over comments he made in 2012 when he described what it would take to kill off obamacare. he said if republicans went on to win the white house that year, that they could simply ignore the law's implementation. listen. >> you don't need active repeal. you just need ignoring the law and let it wither on the vine. that may be enough. that is the real threat. that is the major threat i think, the law faces. >> another gruber tape. joe, before we get into whether or not we believe kathleen sebelius if she knew him, what do you they have gruber's remarks and how he said they relied on the stupidity of the american voter to get this law passed. >> i think the choice of his words pro
