rahm emanuel is doubling down on it.what we have discovered, first of all, it does not curve violence. and so, as you begin to look carefully at his policies, you begin to see the leanings that he has that are overwhelmingly the interests of black and brown people. i will take it one step further, that when you push things like mandatory minimum, it has such tremendous impact on communities, particularly as teachers, as we sit in front of classrooms day in and day out and children are dealing with the issues of poverty, not having enough food, being homeless, having parents in the penal system. after the black caucus in illinois plot is, the mayor issues a press release the next day saying that he cannot wait to congratulate the sponsor of the boat, which by the way the sponsor of the bill does not represent the community in which he says he wants to help. the mayor went as far to say he cannot wait to congratulate the sponsor when the bill passes. in other words, the mayor is saying that i cannot wait until we lock up m

mayor emanuel, she cried again, please stay here, mayor. the abruptness of the exit be, the cake sitting untouched, the lack of closing niceties and the crowd milling around awkwardly gave the impression that the event had been cut much of shorter than planned. activists stepped up on the stage and lifted the banner behind the cake. morley centered herself this front of them and turned to face the remaining crowd, earnestly entreating, people are dying. they aren't going to have nowhere to go. emanuel's critics and admirers have both described him as a quintessential creature of washington and wall street, a brilliant strategist and fundraiser who knows just the right way to leverage his personality. he became a prominent fundraiser for powerful politicians in his 20s. he made some $18 million in investment banking in just two years. he played central roles in two white houses and orchestrated a dramatic takeover of the house of representatives during his six years in congress. he clearly knows how politicking works. but being hay your is d

put zeke emanuel on retirement? >> yeah, i'm going to probably have to deflect that question -- >> oh, i know. >> but let me address the comment that was made about -- here i think it really is an important point to keep in mind. we're talking about a health care plan in terms of obama care, affordable care act, whatever you want to call it, that's going to provide health care coverage for tens of millions of americans that did not have it previously. you're talking about people who had pre-existing conditions that were not able to get health care coverage before let's not pretend like this notion of deductibles and co-pays and out-of-pocket expenses is somehow a new phenomenon. that had been the norm of our health care practice. >> i want to tell you this, it's not the notion of deductibles or the notion of premiums. it's not the notion of doctors and hospitals. it's the fact, it's the reality. it's the volume. it's the level. that's what's missing. and you know why it's missing? because whatever government does wi

rahm emanuel is not caring about our schools and our safety. he only cares about his kids. about what he needs and do not care about nobody else but himself. should be investigating the schools and not closing them and supporting the schools, not closing them. [ applause ] this is racism right here. this is racism. we are black and we are proud. we are white and we are proud. no matter what the color is, no matter if you're asian, chinese, it doesn't matter. you should not be closing these schools without walking into them and seeing what is happening in these schools. >> well, ashean johnson got the attention of rahm emanuel. his school avoided closure at the last minute but 50 other schools weren't so lucky. >> what motivated you to do that that day? >> we just came off of a three-day march before the schools closings were happening, before the vote was in. and i felt like i needed to come straight to rahm emanuel and tell him that he should not be closing these schools without looking into them himself and seeing how good they are. and how would -- why would you close al

emanuel thinks that we all are choice. he can just come into our schools and move all our kids. and say oh, we can build. let's take this school out. we don't care about these kids. but there's kids in there. they need safety. rahm emanuel is not counting on had your schools. he's not caring about our safety. he only cares about his kids. he only cares about what he needs. he does not care about nobody else but himself. you should be taking care of these schools! this is racism right here. this is racism. we are black and we are proud! we are white and we are proud! nobo asian, chinese, it doesn't matter. you should not be closing these schools without seeing what is happening in these schools! >> well, asean johnson got the attention of may your rahm emanuel. you see, his school avoided closure at the very last minute. but 50 other schools weren't so lucky. ase asean, tell us, what motivated you to do that that day? >> we just came off a three-day march before the schools closings were happening. before the vote was in. a

ezekiel emanuel making it really simple. to keep your doctor, pay for it and that is what the president really meant to say, apparently. >> i think we learned a few weeks back that one president obama said he like your policy, and he was not telling the truth and what doctor ezekiel emanuel made clear is that if you're going to go into the program, you' going to get the services that meet the standards for the affordable care act and it is the people that are going into the system for the first time that haven't been assured in a long time. lou: as you put it, you're going to have this, it's like the basic message and i think you are exactly right. this is such a coercive tone and a piece of law that i can't believe there is a greater focus on it in the national media. >> in fairness, i think the national media has followed this story ever since the government reopened on october the 16th, night and day. and thi includes anyone, including the elected democrats are in negotiations with president obama and his team all along.

and now it seems like zeke emanuel is altering that. he's saying, well, actually, under the pared down, scaled back obama care plans available to a lot of people, they might not be able to keep their doctor. if they want to, they might have to shell out a lot more money to do so. that is a far cry from what the white house said and what the president said over and over again to an american public that took that promise based on its plain english meaning and understood, internalized what that would mean for them. the white house is saying not so fast. >> we've heard about these 5.5 million people who've had insurance plans canceled. now when you're talking about losing the doctors that you like, we're talking about millions. millions of people who might experience that. and quite frankly, would not be able to afford to shell out the kind of dough that we might be talking about here. not to mention -- >> that's right. >> -- there was actually a -- maybe another lie in that statement, in that little clip of that interview as well. because

correspondent mike emanuel is live on capitol hill. what is the latest on an effort to strike his budget deal this week? >> welcome in the house and senate budget chair has been talking and hoping to cut a deal with senate democratic budget chair patty murray and house republican budget chairs patty murphy and paul ryan have been talking about this and they are trying to find a modest deal in the bottom line is we won't expect it to be a huge deal. and here is a leading senate democrat on what they take with where things stand. >> negotiations are making progress, moving in the right direction and they haven't closed the deal. but i hope that as part of it, the negotiators will take to heart what the president had to say in their working families across america that are struggling and they need a helping hand. reporter: that is a push of democrats in recent days trying to get unemployment extension involved in this and they are due to run out for 1.3 million americans on december 28. in recognizing there will be a lot of democratic vot

this is doctor ezekiel emanuel on what is happening next? >> no one has launch aid big p.r. campaign to get people signed up because of the problems with the federal website. we are about to launch a big p.r. campaign and that i think will persuade a lot of people. >> is it working? >> well in aversion what he said was true. the administration didn't want to have more people signing up with the bad website for the first two months because of the back-end problems so what he is saying in a sense is true. but the idea he is implying that people will become aware of obama care and rush to sign up because the benefits are so obvious is preposterous. it is very clear to virtually to anyone awake for the past two months, it is a disaster and it is getting worse and none of the challenges have come to pass. >> and if it is three sick people for every one to sustain the program and prices are set for 2014, are the prices affordable? if they don't getern they need -- if they don't get everyone they need, the prices for 2014 could be higher. >> we don't know how long democrats have be

emanuel not to the contrary saying, california has signed up.0% or less in california -- where we can see the numbers. >> so it is consistent. >> young people as doug said they aren't stupid. >> and the politics that's going on that we're not yet talking about is democratic panic about 2014. they are scared of that. and they've told the white house, get this thing straightened out, or we're going to lose the senate and lose more seats in the house. and the republicans will ven eadvice rate this thing when they have control of congress. >> we've got a lot of people chiming in on twitter. and here is what we're finding out. someone says, harris, fox news insiders, what would it take? i would need reassurance that my personal information could not fall into the hands of internet hackers. >> remember, it was obama's loss with millennial's young voters started with the nsa scandal. you're being asked to go on a website and you have no security and everyone in the world is hacking. no wonder, they would be out of their minds to do this. pay the fine.

it is based in part on emanuel.es the opportunity to expand the reach of what william morris endeavor is. there is a little bit of crossover between these two worlds already. the price tag has been a little rich for some. his firm has financial backing from an influential name and private equity, silver lake. >> all right, jon erlichman in los angeles. thank you. some riders were made very angry this weekend. we have an uber investor next. ♪ >> welcome back to "bloomberg west." uber is catching some heat from riders. some on the east coast paid more than 3-4 times the normal rate when a storm battered east coast. riders pay more when the weather is bad. this pricing helps get more cars on the road when demand outstrips supply, helping to guarantee the uber reliability. r

lou: as you put it, you will have this and y like it, was emanuel's basic message.actly right. this is such an elitist tone. i mean absolutely coercive piece of law, that i can't believe there isn't greater focus on it broadly in the national media. >> well, i think the national media in fairness, remember the national media has followed this story er since the government reopened on october 16th, night and day, there have been many more problemsith not just the rollout but the actual structuring of this law than anyone including the elected democrats who were in negotiations with president obama and his team all along even knew. i think as we look to the fix of the website and to the future of what does enrollment look like this winter and in the spring when the insurance industry is reassessing prices for 2015, what does it look like next summer and business waiver expire and take people from their companies into the exchanges and people think unaffected by the law, there is lo of potential problems to come for the law that have noing to do with the website. the a

ezekiel emanuel recently appeared on fox news sunday. >> he never said you'll have unlimited -- >> he asked a question f. you like the doctor, keep your doctor. did he not say that, sir? >> he didn't say you can have unlimited choice. >> simple yes or no question. if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. >> yes. but look. if you want to pay more for an insurance company that covers your doctor, you can do that. >> what do you say about that? >> well, first off, billy, i have apl apologize for my hair tonight. it looks like somebody set up a fracking operation as i look in the monitor. as for ezekiel emmanuel. i know his brother. he headed the agency where i was for a while. i like ari. he's funny. he's smart. he gets it. he plays rough in show business which i like but i'll tell you this. if he developed the script called the obama carolout and a writer named ezekiel emanuel showed up with the script, ari would whack him. he won't say it because it's his brother. let's take it over to zeke for a second. he's a salesman managing to make willie lohman look like -- and you coul

emanuel is right. there has to be more pr and a push to get young folks engaged in the process and education is going to be the key way to solving the low enrollment and lack of enthusiasm around the law. >> not enough pr, that is what we're hearing this morning. i'll let you respond to that. also, as part of the polling, this comes from united technologies congressional connection poll. about -- actually, more than half of these young people, 18 to 29 who were surveyed said, they actually think the law is going to get repealed. whether that's reality or not, it's the perception. if they think that after three-plus years of what most of us would argue there's been pr, how in the world do you convince them at this point to sign up? >> absolutely, shannon. i think what this really shows is millenials are a whole lot smarter than president obama thinks they are. they have looked at the choices and, as this poll shows, they are not really interested. he catapulted to his presidency by taking this group of

ezekiel emanuel. welcome back to fox news sunday. since the relaunch a week ago of the website, enrollment numbers are up sharply. that's theood news, but the administration says that the website is still sending erroneous messages to insurers about one in ten people who think they have signed up. isn't a 10% error rate still a serious problem? >> as i understand it, they're working very hard on those so-called 834 forms and second of all, they're working with the insurers to clean up that information and they did push that a little further down, which they have time to do because they don't need to get the information to them for another few week and they're both working really hard to solve that problem. in addition, they identified one bug that seals to be causing a large portion. >> but it's still a problem. >> in october, you said they couldn't solve the b problem of signing up. they have gone a lopg way. >> i never said that. you're making that up. >> and now, they decidedly put this second and they're kr addressing it. >> okay

i recently interviewed mayor rahm emanuel about that. >> one, overall homicides are down 20% overall.rime is down 23% and shooting are down 24%. that's great trends. on the other hand, you know, i call every parent, god forbid something happens to their child in some capacity and throws the hardest call to make. and i don't want to be any more, as i said. we can't be a tale of two cities as it comes to crime. we have to be one city with one future where every neighborhood is as safe as the other. >> one way mayor rahm emanuel says is to keep afterschool programs up and running. >>> following the death of nelson mandela, senator cruz has a tweet and some of his followers went berserk. >>> then is carrie underwood too tabloid to star in the sound of music? there are seniors who have left hundreds of dollars of savings on the table by not choosing the right medicare d plan. no one could have left this much money here. whoo-hoo-hoo! yet many seniors who compare medicare d plans realize they can save hundreds of dollars. cvs/pharmacy wants to help you save on medicare expenses. talk to you

"varney & company" is about to begin. >> another week for negative news from obamacare. first off, sticker shock. many people with modest incomes are facing deductibles. and they will not be able to afford the cost that insurance does not cover. the average deductible for the lowest price plan, $5,081. up 42% for plans purchased in 2013. next, california, a doctor boycotts, 7 of 10 say they won't participate in the obamacare exchanges. a ticking time bomb. 1.6 million people enrolled in obamacare so far. the bad news 1.46 million are signed up for medicaid, that's free care using taxpayer dollars. if the trend continues you'll see extreme financial difficulties for both state and federal governments. then from zeke emanuel, says yes, you can keep your doctor if you're willing to pay more. here he i

told obama when rahm was in charge of the he probably still is in charge some degree but when rahm emanuel told obama listen people don't really care about the courts they're not really focused on the courts and then all of a sudden we saw we saw citizens united we saw the voting issues that surfaced and we realized that every one of those issues originated at the appellate court level where some very conservative appellate court judge made this an issue that ultimately went to the supreme court that's how it works karl rove was brilliant when he said the thing we must do is stack the courts and they've been very successful it's going to take a long time to turn that around just a minute left i'm curious your thoughts on the budget bill that just passed the house well i mean the thing that strikes me the most is if you take a look at not one tax loophole was even addressed in this budget is she sixty three billion dollars sequester relief is is what it was supposed to occur twenty three million dollars in deficit reduction twenty three billion dollars in deficit reduction and this is all b

the gil emanuel who's one of the founders of this whole program the brother of rahm emanuel from the white house chief of staff now mayor of chicago. recently said that no one has launched a big p.r. campaign to get them signed up there or that they've been too much concerned with fixing the website that they haven't concentrated on selling this you agree with that i definitely agree with that here's why i do agree with that larry if you think about ten years ago when they implemented medicaid part d. or medicare part d. rather even though democrats and agree with it and there was this big donut hole all everybody came together and they found they had their constituents they help their neighbors their friends their relatives get in rolled in medicaid part d. and there was some there was some flaws in imitation but eventually worked and senior citizens get to see the benefits of the same goes for the affordable care act what we've seen from the right is a complete total demonization of the law the reason we want to repeal the law so much is because we've heard members of congress go o

emanuel said you can have the doctor if you pay for it. if you can pay the services but if you don't make a million dollars. >> or pay for hit completely. one thing to remember about obamacare, difference is bronze plan and platinum plan is co-payment structure. you don't get better network of physicians and drug formulary. you can not buy up to better benefit just basically pay down the co-pays. if the doctor is not in a network, a lot of times you will have to pay out-of-pocket completely. jenna: this is interesting side-effect. see seek kielman all was to be on with you. kumbayah moment. maybe some day scott weill have that. you get stuck on a train in the snow. we welcome him back on the program anytime. good to see you. scott? >> thank you very much. jenna: jon? jon: suck zero temperatures slowing down efforts to find a couple and four children missing since sunday. the latest on search by air and land in the snowy west. plus what we know about the family. >>> also, bye-bye super bugs? is it possible a medical breakthrough that could

[laughter] and so in terms of who we support or who i would support in any election, one of the things i'm actually quite cautious about. the need to find candidate. what i think this room should continue to do is actually elevate the issues. because as been laid out. there's no superman. there's no hero. the heroes are actually those in the room right here. but on the frontline every single day. and if a candidate emerges out of the movement, then let's push that individual or individuals forward. if we look at what happened in new york, bill deblast owe was running in fourth place. no one knew who bill deblase owe was. until the issue of stop and frisk. he put his black son on television. we'll see how bill governs though. and so whether i think it's important that not just here in chicago but across this country, that we find candidates who are marr

joining us now is zeke emanuel. thanks very much for being here, it's nice to have you here. >> nice to be back. >> so at these somewhat ridiculous field hearings, congressman issa this week decided to target navigators, what is a navigator and why are they needed? what role do they play in the law? >> well, navigators are people who help other people who are looking for insurance go through what they care about, what kind of insurance they want, help them with the website or if they're doing it on paper, help them on paper. we should remember navigators have a long history. we called them other things, agricultural extension workers to help farmers adapt to certain new seeds, we had these kind of extension workers to help people sign up for medicare in the past. we have used this kind of technique for in different approaches and different kinds of outreach by the government. and i think one particular function they serve is in complicated families. you know, it's one thing to go on and shop for two parents and two

joining me now are congressman emanuel cleaver, democrat of missouri, and richard wolffe executive editor of msnbc.com. thank you both for being here. >> thanks, reverend. >> good to be here, reverend. >> congressman, have we now turned a corner on health care? >> i think we have. we're headed in the right direction. we have problems at first. you know, republicans saw a glitch or a calamity in every glitch. you know, i've got a 1-year-old granddaughter, and even on thanksgiving day she had a number of little glitches. but we're not ready to throw her away because of a glitch here and there. most things in the beginning stages are going to be difficult to pull off. one of the things that's really sad, and i hope the american public is seeing this. when republicans are asked what is your replacement, what are you going to propose? we'll see is not a plan. it's not a bill. you can't file we'll see. you need a bill. it has to have content to it. and that's not going to happen. it's one of these deals where they just criticize and criticize and criticize. and that's it. and that is the plan.

he very much more is in the mold of rahm emanuel. he knows everything that's going on. jack lew was not that guy. i know what you're looking for. >> you don't know what i'm looking for. you only get to vote for one person in the white house. we only have one person that responds to us, answers to us. that's the guy we elect as president in this case. he answers to health care. he needs somebody that's a direct line to answer to him, not down to sebelius and the ceo and the cms, no, no. he was elected. he should have been on top of this right from the beginning. and that's the issue i keep getting at. you're chief executive, mr. president, not just chief of staff or chief of state. >>> next, giving credit where credit is due. >>> this is "hardball," the place for politics. my mantra? family first. but with less energy, moodiness, and a low sex drive, i saw my doctor. a blood test showed it was low testosterone, not age. we talked about axiron. the only underarm low t treatment that can restore t levels to normal in about 2 weeks in most men. axiron is not for use in wome

joining me now are congressman emanuel cleaver, democrat of missouri, and msnbc.com executive editor richard wolffe. thank you both for being here. >> thanks, reverend. >> good to be here, reverend. >> congressman, that group called darrell issa's hearing a wichi witch hunt. what do you make of the hearings? >> you heard about all the hearings that have been held that really produced nothing. in spite of all of the charges, nobody's been indicted or been held in contempt of congress for perjury. and so here's the problem. you can go around the country. you can frighten people. most people are trying to live their lives particularly during this holiday season. and so they're not going to go out and read two or three sources to gather information. they're going to listen to the things being said by a member of congress that is frightening. they have no idea that while we had a bumpy start, the affordable care act now is moving and moving rather smoothly. and maybe that's what the theory is. >> i think that is what the problem is here, richard. is that his target is health care. he's ju

>> mike emanuel live for us. thanks so much. >>> americans who already have health insurance say president obama's health care overhaul is making their coverage worse. check out this new a.p. poll. it finds nearly 4 out of 5 blame obamacare for their rising premiums and deductibles. keep in mind, these are the same people the administration said would not be affected by the affordable care act. joining me now, guy benson, political editor for townhall.com and fox news contributor. this is amazing, guy, when you look at this poll. we're talking about people who just assumed, yeah, that health care thing is not for me. i have great coverage through my employer. now they are blaming obama for a rise in their premiums and their deductibles and what the heck is yet to come. right? >> that's exactly right. if you look at this poll, there are top line numbers that affect all americans. not any subset. within that group, within the broader measure, the president's disapproval on health care is at 60%. obamacare's overall

, one of the three emanuel brothers, the one that is the professor at the university of pennsylvania, who is a physician in the academic setting, one of the interviewers asked him, it was a true statement, if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor? and he said, well, the president never said you could go to all of these other people and specialists. wait a second, let's get back to if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. he bake lip said, if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor if you're willing to pay more. that's thought what the president said. the president used the punctuation point, used that period at the end of his sentence. if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor, period. now we have ezekiel a manual saying, well, the president didn't really say it. folks have asked me in this body just about the bond between a doctor and a patient, and i think that the president knew very well about that bond when he made the promise, if you like what you have, you can keep it. so i have put pen to paper and had an editorial in yesterday's investors' bu
