on barack obama. the referendum on barack obama was the presidential election and look at the turnout -- the people that came out for him. you continue to misread the results. >> i hate to agree with you because you are trying to disagree with me, so it gets really complicated here. [laughter] i agree with you that barack obama is one of the great candidates in american history and that explains why the democrats did so well in 2008 and 2012 -- we had a great candidate -- in 2010, when you neutralize the factor of the candidate, the republicans prevailed, which tells me that republican ideas are strong, and you have to have a candidate or a class of people that can explain it. >> that is the subject of the message to the american people, and they bought it. >> but in 2010, obamacare was a factor and it will be a factor in 2014, do you not agree? >> it might very well be, but i will point out that we have returned to the days of yesteryear when dr. krauthammer was laboring in the democratic vineyards,

president obama calls him a thought leader of the the republican party. and this week, house budget committee chair paul ryan will put out a plan that would balance the federal budget in ten years. on the heels of a private lunch with the president on thursday, congressman ryan joins us to discuss all of it. and congressman, welcome back. >> thanks for having me. good morning, chris. >> the plan would balance the budget in ten years not 25 years like the last one. how do you do that? make even tougher deeper spending cuts? actually not really. we always got close to balancing the budget but not quite there. we don't have to do too much because the new cdo baseline makes it easier because it reflects the fiscal cliff which is higher revenues and lower spending making it easier to balance. we expend the bca budget control act caps out another three years. and ask all federal employees to have the pension contributions like those in the private sector at the end the budget one dough. we don't have to do huge things to get the balanced budget you. the point i

get past the obama statements.t the fact that we know that in 67 hamas was formed by the muslim brotherhood. he wants us to go back to '67 borders but it's not going to happen. >> the hamas charter still calls for the destruction -- >> look at the culture and look at the fact that they keep their people down so they can use them as ploys, if you will, to the world. the final thing, go to the perspective of those who don't like us. they see weakness. >> sean: that i agree. >> actually. that is an excellent point. when i was looking into this today and president's numerous comments that sounded more like campaign rhetoric and less like something he actually believed, something that we really felt from his heart and seeing netanyahu standing up there, laying out the case for defending israel and doing a better job of it than the closest ally which is supposed to be the united states and palestinians who live in eastern jerusalem would rather, 40% would rather live in an israeli ruled nation than they would a new pales

obama can't relate to that! [laughter] and if you need more proof that the president is no friend of israel, just do the math: back in 2007, president bush supported israel with $2.3 billion in foreign military aid. this year, president obama wants to bring that down to just $3.1 billion. [laughter] i know, it looks like it's going up, but remember, in hebrew you read charts from right to left. [cheers and applause] all right? [cheers and applause] and our worst fears about obama were confirmed when he appointed as secretary of defense former senator and man who just learned his dog died-- chuck hagel. [laughter] hagel has a history of troubling statements. he once said the jewy lobby intimidate dates a lot people and i'm not an israeli senator i'm a united states senator. clearly this man doesn't understand that when it comes to israel, there are certain things you can't say. for instance, implying that there are certain things you can't say. which there aren't. you can say anything you want about israel, which

mitt romney and barack obama. when you run those two against each other it's not a real choice for the american people. >> dean, 19,000 regulations, 20 some-odd taxes and the medical device tax in the senate looks like dead in the water. this thing could fall of its own weight. >> medical device tax i love the studies. i wish i could print something like that. these guys aren't going to move one job out of the country it won't help them because they have to pay it on the item when it's sold. but on top of that the reason why they are having the taxes the same thing with medical device like medical drugs are cheap to produce and sell more of them because of obama care. this is just taking back the windfall. i know these guys hate to lose wind falls but it's not a net loss to them at all. >> robert costa do you think this 2.5% tax on medical equipment will overturn the tax in the senate when the time comes for an official bill? they've had one vote. but it wasn't binding. what happens in the second vote? >> reporter

obama-care was a gift and latinos wanted obama-care and that's why they voted for obama. that's not true. that just makes himself feel better. that's not the case at all. >> to romney's yecredit, he sai he made mistakes in the campaign. >> i don't think anyone expected him to come out and be a different person. >> so somebody who had tried to cover that campaign and had little access to romney and his inner circle, what did you make of the interview? >> i think it's newsworthy because the better part of last two years covering him. the fact what he's doing now is absolutely newsworthy, but i think, you know, he rightly said that he accepted responsibility. that the campaign accepted responsibility for what they did wrong and they didn't reach out to minorities. he didn't say how they could have done that better. but, yeah, i think that it was, it was interesting. but, also, on the second part of the interview, i didn't hear anything new. i heard, pull the string mitt romney talking points that i listened to all last year. >> let me play a second bite from the fox news int

obama ignored his own commission. last month allen simpson and erskine bowles came back again warning the nation that bankruptcy is looming and proposing new scenarios that would cut the deficit by more than 2 trillion over 10 years. seems reasonable. again, silence from president obama corrections, not silence. more calls for tax hikes. the u.s.a. already has the highest corporate tax in the world. do you think that helps our economy? do you? and this year the feds are projected to get the highest amount of income tax revenue in history. and, yet, mr. obama wants more, more money flowing to washington and no spending cuts. again, colmes and his crew continue to defend that. and, yet, there is another problem. because the right wing has demonized barack obama so much, many independent americans are tuning out. they are numb to criticism about the president. there is birth certificate and muslim stuff has actually helped barack obama. because now when there is a legitimate criticism, that he is mismanaging the u.s. eco

obama. >> i know where this is going. >> what is important to recognize is that we've already cut $2.7 trillion out of the deficit. if the sequester stays in, you have over 3-1/2 trillion of deficit reduction already. so we don't have an immediate crisis in terms of debt. for the next ten years it's in a sustainable place. >> the problem is that the way bush has done it over the last eight years, is to take out a credit card from the bank of china in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion for the first 42 presidents, number 43 add ed $4 trillion by his lonesome. so we now have over $9 trillion of debt that we are going to have to pay back. $30,000 for every man, woman, and child. that's irresponsible. that's unpatriotic. >> this week he is not going to balance the budget. we don't have a debt crisis, we're headed to $17 trillion in debt under his watch. what happened that's irresponsible and then patriotic? what happened. i want to hear your best spin. go. >>

detractors dub it had obama care. detractors dubbed it obama care.t. this isn't about the merits or shortcomings of obama care or lawmakers wasting time. instead, i would like to talk about what it brought out of us. do you remember those raucous town hall meetings where crowds let their congressman have it? many were as rabid as they were confused, toting signs like, keep your government hands off my medicare. but people showed up. some ill-informed, some angry, all passionate. earlier this week, harry reid dropped the assault weapons ban from a gun control bill that will go to the senate floor. there wasn't enough support. in the wake of what happened in newtown, connecticut, a majority said they would back an assault we pops ban. an overwhelming majority support background checks. about 90%. but so far, despite public support and president obama's passionate state of the union declarations that families of gun violence deserve votes, there's been a whole lot of talk about somewhat's politically feasible. here's a thought. maybe the majority should

let's be honest about obama care. some poor people will benefit from it however, the majority of working people who eat at five guys and the other restaurants and this is like red lobster said this. they all say hey, when we have to pay more we're going to pass it on. we are going to raise our prices for food. >> a business like this five guys operation, they have got a choice. they have got to cover their employees if they have got 50 of them and they work more than 30 hours a week. that's going to be expensive. this guy at five guys decided he would raise prices, pass along the extra cost. he could have done other actions. he could have reduced the hours of his employees so they don't have to get covered. >> hard to get employees into those restaurants anyway if you have good ones you don't want to cut them back. >> recruit people that work in these. >> some of them that's going to come back and hurt them. if you have a good employee. you want them to work overtime. so, i assume that everybody is going to be paying
