marc thiessen, the danger enacting policy with a pen and a phone, the next president has a pen and ahone and if you don't have bipartisan consent and the support of your rivals on capitol hill, they're going to undo it all just as soon as you're booted out of office. >> that's exactly right. and look, you know, i was in the bush administration during the transition to president obama and he did the exact same thing. i think president obama when he came into office, one of the first thing he did was repeal bush's order banning federal funding for embryonic stem cell research, overturned his interrogation policy by executive order. president obama did this as well when he first came into office. but the difference is that president obama has been almost unprecedented in the executive actions he took. when he lost control of congress he said he was going to impose the agenda with his pen and his phone. he couldn't pass the dream act, he imposed it by executive order are. same thing when it came to gun control, health care, transgender bathrooms. so when you rule by executive fiat, you c

joining me now, fox news contributor marc thiessen and president obama's former chief economist, austanoolsbee. put this in perspective for us. >> the democrats have called off their elections until they can figure out what the hell is going on. the state of the democratic party is bad. a few weeks ago the democrats were preparing to measure the drapes in the white house. now it's the republicans that are measuring the drapes. they have a lot to fight about. as congressman ryan has correctly pointed out, they've had the smallest congressional minority since 1929. crump has been elected president of the united states. they've lost 60 seats in congress since 2010 and that's at the national level. at the state level the democrat party has lost 242 state seats, lost control of 30 state legislative chambers and a dozen governorships. when barack obama took office republicans had control of about eight state legislatures where they had the governor and the state legislature. today it's half the country. at the state level they've been completely wiped out. >> pretty compelling argument there,

. >> joining me you, marc thiessen, also matt bennett of third way. great to see you both.the same people. we were trying to make the point. and there's been hypocrisy on that point in praising dr. carson in the day but condemning the cast of hamilton today. your take on it marc thiessen. >> there's a long tradition of speaking truth to power at the national prayer breakfast and it didn't start with dr. ben carson. mother teresa came to the national prayer breakfast and gave a powerful message against abortion. and she invoked god because that's what you do. >> she was inappropriate as mother teresa often was. >> saint teresa of kolkata was not inappropriate. the crowd applauded and said there are no unwanted children. if you don't want your children, give them to me. what you do at the national prayer breakfast, it's a place where leaders are call to present their views and opinions on moral questions facing the day. hamilton is a musical on broadway >> it's political. >> they're paid to sing and dance and entertain us for $850 a ticket. now if they want to take their show
