i want to continue our syndication with house majority leader eric cantor. you mentioned the affordable care act. let's merge that with the debt ceiling. there are some who said there should be an effort to tie to the increase in the debt ceiling a removal of the reinsurance corridors in the obama that's a fee placed on insurance companies to help them through at thif the risk pool is inadeqy arranged for them. they shield themselves from the economic effect. is that something house republicans will do or will you have a clean debt ceiling increase to move this off the table. >> let's thank you about the affordable care act in juxtaposition with the debt ceilingment first of all the affordable care act most of the public have now seen what we've talked about. this law is a disaster. in my opinion obamacare is on borrowed time. policies are being canceled, price are going up. access to hospitals and doctors are being limited. >> not for everybody. >> for many folks, especially those in the individual market. and as we begin to see the further growth in terms

eric cantor took the president to task over iran in the speech. how real is the danger that syria, that iran, that it helps fuel negative opinions that people have about the president's leadership? >> well, first let me point out that eric cantor voted for all the wars that we're currently in. i find it slightly hypocritical that he would ding the president for something he voted to put the president into. secondli, it does matter because it is now obama's foreign policy legacy. he is the president, he has been now for five years, going on six. and so he has to own where we are and where our troops are. syria is a debackally. iran is implode -- debacle. iran is imploding. so i think there's so much tumult in the middle east that there's just no way for him to get his hand around it, and as long as we don't have major, major, you know, all-out wars per se, and i mean the entire region going to war amongst themselves and with themselves, then the best he can hope for are no major, major tragedies that we saw back when george bush was president. >> w

the quote you read earlier was eric cantor speaking to republicans at their retreat in cambridge, maryland according to a source who was in the room this is belated emphasis. president obama for speech and democrats in the senate and the house they have pushed middle class, middle class, middle class that's where the greatest number of economic anxieties are and the votes are too. on the other hand, if you listen to republicans, they talked about entrepreneurs, business owners, people who start their own businesses and what you are seeing with what cantor said and he has been talking about this for close a-to-a year now but a lot of other republicans haven't. what you are see something is they are finally saying you know, we know most people actually didn't start a business. they don't even want to start a business. they work for somebody else. >> it was like the old theory everybody should own a home. no, not everybody should own a home. i'm looking forward to not owning a home. what precisely is cantor's approach now. what he is proposing to help the middle class? >> well, you are going

according to eric cantor it is to look for ways not to replace obamacare, because even republicans know that i will not happen, but to fix the current law? my question to you is -- what advice can you give lawmakers, democrats and republicans, that would be valuable in today's political context to change or fix the affordable care act? what needs to be done? give states the flexibility to adapt to their own needs and give them the opportunity to do innovative things that can help to actually improve the health rather than just have this federal isernment mandate that it too expensive, not workable. obviously it is more than hhs can handle. they have proven that with their disastrous rollout of the system. they could not even give us the information about the people that we wanted to enroll in the health and wellness plan. so, after their system failed, we gave people an opportunity to sign-up on our system and it has worked much more effectively. conversation with governor terry branstad, now in -- fifth term, seeking rina reelection in november. democratic line, good morning. good morn

. >>> joining me now is the house majority leader eric cantor. leader canter you have seen the photos out of syria. last fall you said you were going to vote to allow the president to use force in syria. obviously, it never came to that. is now the time? >> well, erin, clearly there is a humanitarian catastrophe in syria. there is also a residue of america drawing a red line and failing to live up to its word. i'm very concerned about our alliance on vladimir putin and the u.n. to try to dismantle the chemical weapons in syria. it has been six months, perhaps, since the agreement has materialized and yet assad is still there, the chemical weapons are still there. and there are a lot of people being killed. and frankly, america's reputation as a leader has been severely tarnished. so i believe that we need an america that leads which means an america that will bring together our allies and work to defend the moderates over the extremists in syria. now, this is not without risk and it is not going to be pretty or easy. but i hate to think of the fu

you have republicans like eric cantor saying the president said this is going to be a year of action but now delaying the law even more. >> so much news going on today. the president was meeting with the french president but what's this new tough talk from president obama on iran? >> both leaders pressed on the fact that there are a lot of people around the world skeptical of this interim agreement that iran will sort of dismantle its nuclear program. the president decided to put in tough new language basically saying if iran breaks this interim agreement we're going to come down on them he said like a ton of bricks. the problem is the skepticism on capitol hill not just from republicans but some democrats like bob menendez who want to ready new sanctions because they're not sure the administration is ready to come down on iran like a ton of bricks. >> so much going on. ed henry, great to see you as always. if you live in the deep south, you know what, i hate to tell you you're about to get slammed with more extreme winter weather. millions from north carolina to louisiana now in the

let me play for suzy, some of what eric cantor said his perspective, whatever you think of the tacticfiscal problem they want to emphasize. take a listen. >> we should be able to work together, yet again, to try and do something to move the needle towards fiscal reform to move the needle towards reduction in spending while we continue to incur more debt. >> and, suzy, that point there, that larger fiscal planning point, doesn't have to automatically be pursued through this kind of hostage-taking. >> well, the point is the government -- you know, that we have runaway spending that we need to exert more fiscal responsibility as eric cantor says as you often hear from republicans then why would you propose something that actually increases the deficit? you know, reversing this cut to military pension, to their cost of living adjustments would actually increase the deficit by $6 billion over ten years. in other words, it's actually more government spending. so that's kind of the opposite of the message that you usually hear from republicans. >> well, let me elaborate on your point. it's n

here's house majority leader eric cantor. >> the white house continues to really thumb its nose up, ifill, at the congress. the president in the state of the union address did it flat out. he said, when congress doesn't work with me, i'll just go do it myself. and again, that's part of the problem in this town. >> you heard what the congressman said there. does he have a point? is there more the president could do to reach out to republicans? >> you know what, i don't think he has a point because i think the president has bent over backwards for five years attempting to work with republicans. even taking their ideas and putting them forward and then suddenly they changed their mind. but in the state of the union, that was only one part of it. the president laid out several initiatives that he wants to work with congress on. but then he said if congress can't get its act together, these are the areas where he's going to act alone and i think that that is the right position to take. >> can republicans really complain about the president's use of executive orders? because i want you to ju

you've been a leader on this, so we know where you stand, but what about your counterpart, eric cantor? i want to read something he said, "my experience with john liu wis in selma this year was a profound experience. i'm hopeful congress will put politics aside as we did on that trip and ensure the sacred voting in this country remains protective." can you update us, because a lot of people think if cantor makes good on that pledge, he can get this bill to the floor. >> well, i want to thank jim sensenbrenner and john conyers for working so closely and so diligently on this issue. this is an issue that's fundamental to our way of life, and it is something that we ought to take seriously. the supreme court, when it rendered its decision, a decision i disagreed with and i have to live with, they said to us, okay, congress, go at it. you can update this formula and you're free to do so. so congress, through sensenbrenner and conyers and others, have responded to this and we have come up with a product which i think is very, very good. now, i saw "the wall street" editorial yesterday which

eric cantor who is also growing, in my opinion, as a politician, has talked quite openly in the last few weeks about not wanting the republicans to be the party of no. he was there public as to be for at least some kind of reform. yet when i like of the issues -- i will quickly run down some of the issues are before congress this year. most of them, i see and dim likelihood of any significant action. tax reform, you're going to see a lot about this next 48 hours. the ways and means committee chairman will unveil a very ambitious bill. a lot of interesting features include yellow surtax on the wealthy which might go against republican orthodoxy. he talks about maybe even subject in unique -- muni bond income to a surtax. that is a very controversial subject. he would do away with a lot of sacred tax breaks. this is something that has made most republicans very uneasy. they do not want have attention drawn to anything that controversial. i would say the chances of tax reform this year are at best 10%, and i am being generous to even say that. next year with paul ryan as head of the way

don't tell eric cantor that. you always smile at that one. joy, i'm going to give you the rare opportunity to explicate something. generally the president likes cbo reports. yesterday for whatever reason republicans loved it and twisted it and turned it. they come up with an idea this health care plan is killing jobs when what does the plan say? >> this is another cbo report that generally the white house probably likes because it projected the unemployment rate to go down to 5.8% by 2017 and projected robust economic growth year over year and anticipated the deficit will go down, all good things. on page 39 of the report it had that one paragraph where it said you will see a reduction in the hours worked potentially of workers that is the equivalent of some 2 million workers and never said in the report and i did spend the day reading through the report and also reading the washington post fact checker, it never said job being lost. if you are talking about job loss you would be saying the demand for labor would go down and businesses would

. >>> well, there is no fallout today from house majority leader eric cantor's call to arms over what he calls president obama's imperial presidency. i have a copy of a memo that he sent to house republicans, and in it, cantor writes, president obama has provided a new clarity as to what constitutes an imperial presidency, declaring that he has a pen and a phone, he has acted to effectively rewrite the laws of the united states. cantor also i writing about his plan to replace obamacare with a new health care program. let's bring in angela and chris. it's great to have both of you here. welcome. >> thank you. >> in this memo, angela, which i read a couple of times to make sure that i got it all right, he says well the gop present bold conservative solutions to what the gop and republicans will not accept as the new normal, which is that one in six working age men are unemployed. that there are i guess policies and actions that they want to take that will bring growth. what are they? >> well, jamie, they he are conservative policies where americans can keep hormone in their pocket, wher

this friday, house majority leader eric cantor will meet with leaders to work on putting together whatbe billed as the house republican alternative to obama care. here's my prediction. he could come out of that meeting with two dozen alternatives, but the republican party will actually get behind exactly none of them. not in any real way. that would mean grappling with the reality of reforming health care, and not just throwing stones from the sidelines, that is why i have been saying and i will say again, the republican alternative to obama care is a unicorn. it's beautiful, it's mythical and it does not exist. joining me now, the president of the center for american progress. what do you think, are we going to see a real republican alternative to obama care? >> actually, the republican alternatives that have circulated in the past, so when senator mccain campaigned on, the ones created by think tanks notice last year or so, they have coverage lapses much 11 million, 15 million, 20 million people. so i think it's going to be challenging for them to run their ads around the country, th

eric cantor responded about the report saying, "it underscores there remain as real crisis for the chronically unemployed in this country. it's too hard for many to find good jobs, wages are stagnant and it's harder to get ahead. americans deserve good jobs and should not settle for the new normal of extended unemployment and limited job prospects." wall street was unscathed from the unemployment report friday. investors sent stocks higher for the week after three straight weeks of losses. >> it has been a volatile market. take care, elizabeth. see you soon. >> we may finally get clues whether iran is building a bomb. can we trust tehran is giving them total access? >>> severe winter storms becoming a life and death situation as the red cross says blood donors are urgently needed.
