. >> well, our first guest says senator harry reid is wrong. obamacare is a horror for real and to her patients and her employees it is a horror. obstetrician joins us. good evening, doctor. >> good evening. >> when you hear cincinnati majority leader harry reid said these horror stories are wrong and untrue. what do you say to him? >> i would just certainly hope that he said that in haste and that perhaps the information that was given to him came from a source that wasn't correct. this is not the case that we are seeing in our practices and with stories patients are telling us. >> all right. well, let's go specific. let me go first to your patients. you have patients who have insurance. and they go to you. but now you have been knocked off one of the insurance networks. is that correct? >> well, i have been not dismissed but have nothing offered participation status in some of the subsections of one of the insurance companies. and that was insurance that would be covering individuals taking out insurance through the affordable care act or thr

i haven't always been all that kind to harry reid but i have to tell you something harry reid twenty years ago stood up against nafta and he said you know what this is bad for the country and it's harry reid again who has his hand up saying if i'm not only skeptical about this deal there is a deal that has no oversight it has no transparency at all but he went as far as tom is saying to his fellow democrats look you would be well advised not to push this now coming from harry reid who runs that senate who raises money for all those people in the senate that is a very clear message it's almost a message that is so clear that the democrats thinking about supporting this fast track has got to say you know what this may not end well for me because he may not be there to raise money for me so there's a lot of meaning to harry reid coming out so strong it almost it almost gets the point to. we can almost say this might be dead except that you have a small faction like the john kerry says harry reid's going to change his mind about this if we give him enough time it's very interesting dynam

that is because of senator harry reid. >> harry reid says the people out there telling horror stories about their insurance, they are liars. it was before the election in 2012 where harry reid came out of nowhere and said he had on good authority mitt romney does not pay taxes and has not paid them in ten years and he said in addition to that mitt romney has probably committed other felonies. as it turns out mitt romney paid millions of dollars in taxes and harry reid pretended he had not smeared him. yet he had done just that. there are a number of right-minded americans who are wondering mr. reid, what are you talking about? and you do sincerely owe an apology to these people you smeared unjustly. >> 11 minutes after the top of the hour. >> you might not recognize his face yet but our next guest says he could be the next bin laden. >> millions of dollars in campaign donations coming from planned parenthood, so who is it specifically going to go to and why? we're going to explain that as "fox & friends" rolls on live from new york city, where it's 9 degrees right now, folks. ♪ ♪ go l

harry reid called obamacare victims liars. people who senator reid insulted, they are not. >> our insurance company pay to have this testing done. stuart: scott hughes is with us. >> when have you ever seen harry reid ever actually apologize. we solve barack obama at one point apologize him and he backtracked. we are talking 4.2 million people that lost their health insurance thanks to obamacare. that is the truth. stuart: i will say vicious language. using the word liar. does senator reid and the democrats pay the political price for that? >> they should. stuart: will they? >> if we stop playing nice, then they should pay the price. this is an inflammatory language. he was mainly aiming his attacks. they were throwing all of this money in. he says, you know what, there are some debatable issues. stuart: only 26% think obamacare is working well. >> 57%. 60% of independents disapproved. stuart: i have to move on. you stay there please. it is unofficial. i believe an acronym. quick to charles. charles: the people that were drawn

none of them were taken up by harry reid. when you hear a do-nothing congress, it is a do-nothing senate. biggest john boehner fan in the world, but he has done a lot of good stuff. they have done a lot of good stuff in the house. it goes to die in the senate. again, it is ruling by fiat. to say that congress is do-nothing, it ignores that harry reid is obama's right-hand man in congress to artificially create this a legend need to violate the constitution and do all of these things unilaterally. know there iswe the recess appointments, again another example of unilateral. i don't want to get into many numbers. there are some interesting warns. for everyone law, there are 56 regulations. that is what agencies and boards and commissions and departments are creating. generating regulations. for everyone law there is 56 regulations. this is my favorite. for every one person who goes to court for breaking the law, 10 people go to court for breaking regulation. imagine trying to conduct the home,ss or remodel your or fix your hous

you know pulling a half a nuclear option if harry reid becomes extremely aggressive on this and i hope he will it could be a message to obama it could be look if you were making these if you were going forward with these democratic appointments because you believe that you had to split the baby stop because right now seventy two percent of the judiciary is heavily packed with what are called neo conservative judges i mean there's no other way to describe them they're ideologues they are politicians in black robes many times that don't have great experience really the judiciary we've seen a really dramatic increase in the power sure was what's that all that well you have you have the scalia mentality and right now is the new idea of the supreme court judge it absolutely effects judges below them when you have scalia out front trying to tell us he's a rock star this new judicial rock star who has an opinion about everything that act really flies in the face of what we used to how we used to regard the supreme court scalia has done huge harm massive harm to the image of the supreme

doug luzader has more on that and the fallout. >> sn gnat majority leader harry reid is going after conservativesr funding efforts to oppose it. in it are the koch brothers. reid says all of the horror stories are untrue. he later had to backtrack a bit. >> i can't say that everyone in the koch brothers ad are a lie. as we look out against this terrible dishonesty of these two brothers who are about as unamerican as any one i can image. >> some conservatives point out the left attacks the koch brothers for spending millions on political ads another puts spending at 15 nights on political donors. republicans quickly responded to reed. >> families have been adversely impacted by obamacare because of canceled coverages and higher premiums and higher deductibles. >> many may be from the mid term elections. many think obamacare are outraged over obamacare could fuel pig wins in november. >> it is time for look who is talking. this morning republican senate minority leader mitch mcconnell bashing harry reid for those outrageous comments. >> these people all across america who are losing policies, premi

harry reid saying he felt in his heart of hearts this in their heart, republicans didn't really want to extend this long term unemployment act. any no vote on extending unemployment is a no vote, because they don't want to extend unemployment benefits. a among has gone by already, and it is only a three month extension. may know there are people out there really hurting. the senator from rhode island who has been responsible trying to draft this measure through, said that although it looks as if there's a lot of partisanship, actually behind the scenes there's been a lot of work, and in this couple of hours of delay, between the original scheduling of the vote, and now, there's been a lot of work going on behind the scenes take a look. >> this was not a my way or the highway. this was trying to find a bipartisan path way. and we are still searching. >> so, dell, let me tell you the time line. the vote is going on now, so whether the votes are there for harry reid and jack reid, this is a procedure vote. they are trying to a vinculo churr. then there will be two more votes. one to clo

you have to love harry reid, i love this quote. i would hope that administratively, the president will do what he can to take a look at deportations. but he is being burdened by the law as it exists. and we need to change it. that darn law is such a burden. >> well, it is a burden, and i think the president so far at least has recognized the law and done what harry reid wants him to do. itry mains to be seen if the president will do what harry reid says, and if he does, whether that will stand, the question that was raised by shannon's report, and we talked about before. if congress tries to halt this they will not do it legislatively, it will never get out of the senate. the president never signed a law -- he feels free to ignore the law, it hardly matters, the question is whether some litigation could be mounted outside of congress by an injured party of some kind that would get the courts attention and end up on the president's cease and desist, where he's outside the executive authority he's been granted by congress. >> by the

what do you say to harry reid?rican people harry reid is making the mistake of a lifetime by not putting sanctions back in place before they crumble. that if the pressure is off the iranians militarily -- if they think we will never hit them militarily and after syria, how can they think otherwise, and if the sanctions crumble, what's to stop the iranians from just defying getting a deal of a lifetime? the western european nations have a different view of what the end game should be versus the israelis and most members of the congress. so i am trying to elevate the issue. i've got 59 co-sponsors for a new iranian sanctions bill that only takes place after the negotiations are over and if they fail. and harry reid is following barack obama's dictate. barack obama's running the united states senate. if i could get the bill on the floor for a vote, bill, it would get over 70 votes at a time when we need to reset the relationship between the world and iran. bill: on this bill quickly now, it would help 22 million veter

not just senator harry reid.sebelius secretary we had her tape on when she said that 7 million number. she said she never said that that's ridiculous. what's our source for it? she said it six months ago. it's like they don't even know we have video cameras. >> two bold approaches here. one is sebelius just say forward. just charge forward. the other one try harry reid approach. >> make stuff up? >> honey i said i was going to take out the garbage. i did. i don't understand how it got back in the garbage can. i don't understand. >> it's so bizarre. panel, thank you as always. thank you. >> now to a sweeping and controversial plan to overhaul the nation's tax laws it would wipe out many tax breaks yes loopholes to help pay for lower overall tax rates and that could be politically risky. dave camp proposed the plan. he joins us. good evening, sir. >> hey, greta, great to be here. >> give me the headline on your proposal for the tax overhaul. >> well, the real headline is the pro-growth plan that will actually grow

and harry reid did this because harry reid knows that in his city nothing goes anyway he at me he's a really little if he gets out there he's still soft spoken and talks about the american people then he pulls this a.p. democracy crap ok when you have so grasping the rule of law the rules of the senate the rules to sit in and now they're going to change them and now things are already changed you know now the senate flips back like there's predicted been twenty forty then the democrats need to also know we have to get back to constitutional no doubt that he didn't win the data may not know what democrats are not he could still have a kill list when the middle democracy is this playing victim stuff is that i let you know it's time i was not about the big bad or i'm only doing i'm only speaking the truth and call you know. the two things i put on the table where you know there were a can the can the can the president actually start appointing people who don't have to don't require a republican stamp of approval which means we get better judges and number two isn't this you mean like d

what do you make of what harry reid was saying about people with bad experiences with obama care? if you take harry reid's own words there is no problem with obama care or website or sign ups and delivery of services and people are satisfied with the coined of law that was passed. three big lies perpetrated by democrats, you will keep your doctor and policy, false. when americans tell their truthful story about their experiences with obama care, what does the septemberor do who claim they are political attacks he goes to the well of the senate and attack the americans. it is a disgrace! >> what mcconnell said, chris, his behavior is a stop iing. do you believe the people who have come on our channel, and related the stories of hard ships, are they liars? >> i will not call anybody a li. i will admit people out there had difficulty with the roll out whether it was the website or lost their plan, i understand that. i understand that has happen. what i think our message should be in fixing this. in fact the republicans are going to make a out of everything. the reality of what majori

and harry reid called president bush a liar over and over again.sked democrats why they would stop campaigning with harry reid or whether they had to apologize. it's somehow acceptable on the left. and frankly, again i'll be clear, all of it is -- i think that there is no need to get into personal name calling when we have significant policy differences that can be debated, and i think frankly on our side i'd rather get into that. but there is this standard where when they say it on their side, no one seems to ask the same question. why aren't people asking, why are you campaigning with harry reid? just yesterday on the senate floor he said that everybody who has a problem with obamacare, erin, earn who has a problem with obamacare is a liar. so if you have a problem you're a liar. >> unfortunately we're out of time. i hear your point about that. but i also think that you guys have to directly answer the question instead of saying they do it, too. or he called someone names, too. any way, next, jeanne moos and i experience mutt bombing. using natur

my guess is harry reid will make that clear to the president.t tracking of trade. harry reid said i don't think this is the time we should do it. there are a number of differences. the thing that i wonder about, andrea, this is a president who by and large has succeeded heavily on his own. taken a lot of criticism from tracks, particularly in the house, some in the senate, he is always doing what is good for barack obama and his brand as opposed to what's good for the democratic party. he said he is committed to helping the party. are there policy things he can do to help mary landrieu, mark pryor in alaska. certainly critical of the president. >> and don't forget i know you don't forget but we should remember it was harry reid who first said to barack obama you could run for president. >> absolutely. >> harry reid was a father figure to him. this is not an adversarial relationship or didn't start that way. >> harry reid knows right now they need democrats hold the senate by six seats, there are four to five that you could easily see going to re

but harry reid won't even consider them and bring them to a vote; is that right? so, you know, it's not just the president but harry reid, are majority leader in the senate. i have got about 20 seconds. >> one of the republicans said in cambridge if he has this phone he keeps talking about the first call he should make is to harry reid. republicans in the house have passed a lot of measures that have gone nowhere in the senate. >> i don't think they ever talk. >> nope. >> byron york, great to see you. terrific column, thank you very much. >> thank you, greg. >> that's it for us. i'm greg jarrett, a healthy you and carol ault is coming up next. hope you have a great week, everybody.

that's harry reid's office. i called a lot of people. harry reid's office was the best. my first job out of college, and i always wondered about this was the war on poverty. and i worked out on long island very high unemployment. and my job was was youth corps job corps to send people to training programs to require skills that jobs were available for meat cutters, so on and so forth. i only lasted one year and it turned me into a conservative from a bleeding heart liberal. i certainly recruited at least 100 people to go to different training programs. at the end of the the year i discovered only two people had completed the training programs. one wound up in prison anyway. of the other 98 they kept going and coming back. what i discovered was the incentive. i, in my young heart, thought, okay, they want to get skilled and be in the middle class. which i came from total poverty. they really didn't want that. they wanted the plane ride. once they were there a couple of weeks and it was really boring and they had to learn a skill, they would quit and come back. i had to se

martha: why do you think harry reid went out and said that? >> i don't know.s completely out of touch. has he talked to anybody? where's he getting his information? i just, i don't know. i don't know where that's coming from. martha: yeah. you know, i feel like i don't know anybody who doesn't know somebody who's either been pushed off of their plan or who doesn't have their doctor anymore or who isn't paying a higher premium. i mean, i think the stories on the other side are the ones that are so much harder to find. you know, what is your sense of sort of the feeling where you live about -- because, you know, one of the reasons that many people think harry reid is saying this is because democrats are very concerned about what might happen to them in the next election cycle. >> well, they should be concerned. they should be concerned, and i think they should be worried. i would hope that more of the stories of the truth will be told so that people will be more informed. i kind of have a feeling that because many people are covered by their employers that they'

you heard harry reid drop her name.ng perhaps he can coax her into the lieutenant governor's race. if she wins that race, then it makes it less likely for brian sandoval who is the governor of nevada to get into a race in 2016 and challenge harry reid. a lot of eyes on lucy flores -- >> harry reid playing chess. >> harry is always behind the scene. >> what a surprise. >> going back to immigration, you know, there's now this conventional wisdom that maybe it's better for republicans to punt this issue in 2014. why bring up the intraparty fight, but talking to some republicans who are engaged on this issue, want to see immigration reform pass, especially for their candidates in 2016, they say why is it going to be any easier in 2015? 2015 comes and you have a lot of people running for president sitting in the senate. they could barely get something through the senate the first time around. you think when they're up for 2016 they're going to want to pass something called comprehensive immigration reform? i don't think so.

harry reid said all of these stories are untrue.ajority leader to go home to nevada, his home state, have a town hall meeting, hear from the people of his state and say is he willing to call them liars to their face? stuart: that is extremely sharp edged language. you start saying that kind of thing, that is tough stuff. why did he do that? >> i don't know if he is in denial, taking direction as it up at of the president to say these sorts of things. if this health care law was so good, why has it president unilaterally change 24 different times at least in order to try to push the pain back beyond the 2014 elections. people are seeing how devastating this has been in terms of jobs, in terms of their take-home pay. and their health specifically. unions complaining about it, cancer patients complaining because they can't keep their doctors. everyone knows someone hurt by the health care law. stuart: what is make political sense to use the same harsh language and throw it back in his face? would that be good politics, do you think? >>

>> we are asking harry reid to withdraw his nomination.on general is a position where you can promote things like healthy lifestyle, no smoking. not being obese, trying to eat healthy. that kind of thing. but being someone who's going to come in and politicize it and make it, he was the head of doctors for obama who every other word that comes out of his mouth, is something condemning gun owners, the nra. i think to politicize the surgeon general position is a big mistake. >> if they don't? >> we'll do what we can to filibuster it, you realize harry reid destroyed the filibuster, there is no filibuster, when he took over and broke the rules last year, to change the rules, he got rid of the filibuster on nominations, so we can object, we can vote against him, we can tell the public that we don't think it's a good idea to politicize the position of surgeon general. ultimately he will have the power to roll over us, because the senate operates under the iron fisted rule of one man, harry reid, what he says is what goes. there's been four vote

in the last hour, harry reid's remarks have been swift and fierce. first, listen for yourself to the senator. >> there are plenty of horror stories being told, all of them are untrue. but in those tales, they turned out to be just that. tales. stories made up from lies, distorted by republicans to grab headlines or make political advertisements. >> senator reid seemed to attempt to backtrack a short time later but senate republicans were not having it. the gop releasing 100 cases describing americans pulled from a variety of news reports in recent weeks all of those who say have suffered very real and negative consequences thanks to obamacare. among the example, a 31-year-old kentucky dentist who went public after his new plan nearly doubled his premium and his out of pocket minimum. and a woman who was refused an answer on whether or not her son was covered under her new hamp just found out she is not covered by the only obamacare in her state. and the new york woman, diagnosed with breast cancer, whose potentially life-threatening surgery has been

harry reid voted it there was no zero so you can get to a final vote for it ok so. the other the other point to be made in this goes back to this latest iteration that came into it before the senate was that it's on page four and it was let's finish this first or how is it possible that one point eight million people having a couple hundred dollars a week. and spending that into the economy fails to stimulate the economy or alternatively one point eight million people having absolutely nothing that they're not spending in the economy one prior that they were spending money in the economy doesn't hurt the economy this is like common sense one hundred one how can you refute common sense one of the little i think the. i think that i mean i got on the north carolina when they cut it off on employment you're no longer counted as unemployed because it looks like the numbers went down but no the numbers didn't go down the numbers to go down because partially he said suddenly. people found jobs because people left the left that work for that's my point person and this is no

so enter harry reid, in the senate. and jack reed in rhode island. and they are trying to extend iting, and pay it retroactively for those who mixed out. and they are going to allow employers to smooth pensions, which means pay a bit less into the pension pot. which means that the government can tax it, and that's how it's going to be paid for. republicans have said many times, on principle, to pay debt low. and harry reid coming to the floor of the senate this morning at 9:30 and postponing it from 11:00 to 2:00, and really, he thinks that the republicans should lump in on this. three voted in favor last time. but it failed. and the indication is he doesn't have them yet. and that's why he postponed the vote until 2:00. he said that the republicans don't want to vote for an extension of this act. >> extending unemployment benefits, a no vote because they don't want to extend unemployment benefits. >> so we'll see, del, the vote rescheduled for 2:00 and see if they reschedule it again. >> they didn't want to passion e unemployment benefits back in de

-- did you hear what harry reid said? it is sad to hear the party step over the line and embrace the idea that somehow he is good when people were class. we come from an entirely different focus. this bill comes from an opposite direction. we think work is a good thing. do a short exercise. think about the first job you ever had. the very first job you had. maybe was a paper route. maybe it was babysitting the neighbor's kid. maybe it was working at a mcdonald's or a burger king. maybe it was as a waiter or a waitress. for me, i was in the middle of ohio and it was baling hay. i was mowing lawns. i was speaking about this over the weekend. the lessons i learned -- you think about the things you learn from that first business. how to manage money and resources. we had an interesting operation. my dad was old school and he said he would provide a truck and built the trailer. he will give us a lawn mowers and we had one question hour. -- push mueller. you guys pay for the gas. you can have a date on the weekend, and that wil

harry reid can say the stories are made up, but what this tells us for the americans who don't go insperity, for americans who are not talking to the local tv station the experience with this law is causing them to sour on it. and we've not reached the magic point that the obama democrats said was out there, which was one day people will get to know the law, it is better, we'll soften. this is particularly troubling for the democrats because now we're into phase four, five, six, whatever you want to call it for the implementation of this law. it is not getting better, it is getting worse. >> political ads are often very confusing. purposely confusing. now we have ads out there from democrats saying i'm fighting to make serious changes to this bill. if you didn't know you would think it was a republican candidate running that ad. >> well, obviously the attempt here is to own the fact that the law has to be repaired. but did you hear what hillary clinton had -- had to say this week? >> i did, there is distance being placed. >> she put the blinker on, pulling out into the passing lane.

. >> on the senate side, harry reid praised boehner's decision. >> i commend speaker boehner for doing the right thing. >> but he threw this barb at house conservatives. >> i put nothing past a tea party driven congress. >> the call for a clean vote stand in stark contrast to what they breached in the george w. bush administration. >> this 110th congress will commit itself to a higher standard. pay as you go, no new deficit spending. >> with the treasury's borrowing authority running out on february 27th, the clock is ticking on the debt ceiling. the house is in recess for two weeks starting thursday. just as the snowstorm may paralyze washington, at least those parts of the city not already paralyzed by politics. bret. >> more on this with the panel. thank you. >>> one day after announcing another delay in his signature health care plan, president obama is characterizing it as just good customer service. republicans, however, charge that politics is afoot. chief white house correspondent ed henry has the story. >> standing with socialist french president francois hollande today, presi

i've mentioned progressive democrats you know peter fazio and others who are opposed to this is harry reid is opposed to michele bachmann's opposed to this there's a coalition forming between the tea party and progressives ate what does this say about shaft about the t.t.p. and b. could we could you know those people who are interested in rebuilding the american middle class be using that coalition for other things beyond the t.p. i think the far right looks at it differently i don't think the far right cares about american jobs but they are issue of sovereignty that we're giving up sovereignty and these trade agreements basically sacrifice the sovereignty of united states by giving you know some kind of a trade court that can basically come in and say oh you know we have dirty smokestacks in vietnam you have clean smokestacks here that's that's that's unfair to us. you can't make us have those you should get rid of yours right that's what this one world court is that they have and they want to set that up so to some extent the far right does have an appeal about the infringes on american

people and they don't see anything wrong with that to me that's what america yeah i agree senator harry reid has come out in opposition this along with another a number of other legislators peter de fazio and others and it's apparently also facing some tough opposition overseas do you think it's maybe dead now it's never did it because there are this is the great multinational corporations of the world it's never did they're going to keep working on this if they don't get it this year they'll be back next year they'll be back that because there are trillions of dollars in profits year they have a whole national plan a world plan this is like the trilateral commission this is real and they have this idea of putting this thing together and making trillions of dollars and we might stop it this year but you know what they'll be back in fifteen could be fighting this a bit and you know what they say would be the administration to change maybe we'll control the senate who knows what's going to happen this time and that's how they're going to do it they're not going away so we must be ever vigilant

and harry reid has not allowed that. and even though he has taken an approach that would in most cases be attractive to republicans, it's not going to go forward. so this is part of a real arm twisting that has been playing out for a period of time with rules changes in the senate, and it's not the end of the road. they can bring it back again, but it is a real setback today. it also would face a very tough road in the house. so this is a political argument democrats can also make that if this does fail, as we expect and sources tell us, they can make that claim that democrats are trying to restore these benefits to people who need them most and they can argue that republicans are not going along. craig? >> kelly o'donnell on the hill for us this afternoon. kelly o'donnell, thanks as always. i want to bring in barbara lee of california. member of the house appropriations and budget committees. also a member of the congressional black caucus, which in the past hour held its first national day of prayer to end poverty and

unfortunately, democratic leader harry reid ended all that in the senate. i believe free trade would really help grow the economy. and second i don't know in specifics what obama wants. but sensible immigration reform, like bringing brainiac visas to two or three times the size, letting foreign students remain here, would also be pro-growth. "the wall street journal" editorial page chided republicans for not pushing this. i want to chide everybody. your guy reid doesn't want to do this, nobody wants to do this this is the stuff of which better growth comes from. >> i agree with you, larry. i think the president would agree with you. and those are two things that can contribute to economic growth. you said something a moment ago that i want to actually agree with as well. if there's a disincentive to work, that's tragic. i think that's tragic but only if it's true. so far, i don't think the people who you're talking about, the folks who would be included and covered under the aca have any disincentive to work because they need to work to make ends meet. >> t

we spoke to harry reid's office to get to the bottom of this. he told us his staff member, adam, told us "at senate republicans' request, the clerk did not call the names during the vote to make it easier for republican leaders to convince their members to switch their votes." okay. so let's picture this scene for a second. republicans do not want to vote for this increase, but mitch mcconnell now needs five votes to avoid a default. it becomes clear as soon as the vote starts he does not have those votes, so now he needs to twist some arms and convince some of his colleagues to change their votes. republicans sympathetic to mcconnell know it will be much easier to get those colleagues to switch their votes if the vote changes are not announced. and so they asked the senate clerk, hey, on this one, just go ahead and don't read the roll call. and so for the next 45 minutes, mcconnell, mccain and other members of leadership go on the floor and lobby for votes. mitch mcconnell, himself, votes for an increase. his number two, texas senator john corn
