this goes to the question of obama care. he has called for the total repeal of obama care. this tells you why. the way in which we have expanded the government through obama care has given the president the ability to begin to look at a broad base of individual rights that can be changed as a result of the powers of obama care. so i think that it is clear that we need to look at healthcare reform in a way much different than what we did with obama care where we expanded the scope of the federal government and now infringing on individual rights including religious rights. >> we have to take a break judge cryer and sally comb more after t >> get right too the panel judge katherine cryer is in favor of the president's compromise. you heard the people speaking of this can be used as a morning after pill the rest of it. your response? >> in 2000 the eeoc issued a ruling this would take effect. the largest catholic university in the country started providing this coverage in their healthcare policies. we know 28 states -- >> in the year 2000? >> december of 2000 the ruling occur

obama care is the problem and in fact with the religious and cultural over tones, obama care becomes a bigger problem. tea party hates obama care, and santorum connecting with the tea party and running through super tuesday. i see a connection that governor romney has a problem with. >> they have to get the message right, santorum has an appealing message. but the states that he won last night, steve lost those same races, right, steve? >> as john mccain's campaign manager. >> and still went on to win the nomination convincingly, right? so that is where santorum is now. >> you were a top strategist, the top dog, the big guy, you lost a bunch of races but won the nomination, romney quoted that and will it work for him too? >> it doesn't work for him. the campaign was $2 million in the red there were 35 people that worked in the campaign. we stipulated to the fact that we lacked money and organization to be able to do it, we competed in the primary states, and we waived the caucus states. now, mitt romney, he is the candidate with the organization, and the money and that is not why he

and it's often said that the obama care vote that together with the disgrace of the obama stimulus gave birth to the new majority in the house. not exactly what i call an immaculate conception, but i do think it's safe to say the united front that we put up against obama care and against the stimulus and their national energy tax were all huge factors in our success. but what truly defines this majority is how it's different in the past from majorities both democrat and republican. that was a promise that i made to all of you two years ago here at cpac that our majority would do things differently, particularly when it comes to listening to the american people, to put together our governing agenda. we look to the people, not to politicians. we receive thousands of ideas and use them to craft our pledge to america. and when i took the gavel from nancy pelosi and said we'd have open debates in the house, folks on the other side of the aisle didn't boo that time, they just laughed. they laughed and called it a stump when we read the constitution on the floor of the house from start to fini

the reason we have obama care, the reason we have obama care, is because the senator you supported over pat toomey in pennsylvania, arlen specter, the pro choice senator of pennsylvania that you supported and endorsed in a race after pat toomey he voted for obama care. if you had not supported him, said no to arlen specter we would not have obama care. don't look at me, take a look in the mirror. supporting arlen specter, supporting arlen specter over pat toomey that was a torturous route. >> just about as torturous six years later blaming me for obama care. >> it wouldn't really be a republican debate if newt gingrich didn't take his customary shot at the media. >> since birth control is the latest hot topic which candidate believes in birth control and if not, why? >> as you can see, it's a -- it's a very popular question you have. >> it's a very popular question in the audience as we can see. we're not going to spend a ton of time on this. >> may i make a point? >> sure. >> these guys are going to give you feedback here. >> i see that. >> i think they're making it clear. >> look, i w

they begged and pleaded and probably had to commit to support obama care to get a waiver from obama care. all the regular folks have to live by it, but crony capitalism is what we call it. they got the waiver. look at solyndra. people using political favors in the white house to get special deals. we have seen how that turns out. it's not good for the american taxpayer. look at both. the white house told boeing unless they use union workers, they can't build a plant in south carolina. that's how the president uses waivers. if you make products in america and happen to do good in and find markets elsewhere you can't do that unless you cut a special deal with the president. this is the height of crony capitalism and the height of what's wrong with our economy. under this amendment, you would not be able to export any of the products that are made on that list if you make them in america. if you make them in another country, the jobs would stay in the other countries, but no longer can you have made in america stamped on the products. i yield back the balance of my time. >> the gentlemen's

and as i said obama care. he cannot go toe-to-toe with president obama because he held the same views on those issues and we have rick santorum who is opposed to obama care, vowed to repeal obama care. against the wall street bailout and certainly not in favor of cap and trade. he's a very fiscal conservative. he was one of the gang of seven who fought the excessive taxpayer abuses as a member of congress. he was one the media referred to him as the tea party guy before there was a tea party. he's been a member of washington, but fought against the wasteful spending. he's worked hard when he was in congress to institute a balanced budget amendment and worked hard on cut canning spending and did away with the free lunches and meals and hair cuts for members of congress. while he was there, he was doing everything he could to be a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars and cut wasteful spending and he wants to continue to do that, this time from the white house. >> alice, i want to give you credit, where credit

and where the energy can be mustered, but i don't doubt that mitt romney will bring the repeal of obama carei don't want to diminish any expectations to that. congress needs to pass the repeal of obama cara, gen this year out of the house and send it to the senate and see if they can push a vote in the senate. last time they did that we got a 100% vote among republicans to repeal obama care. it's still out there and it's still insidiously creeping into our liberty. >> iowa congressman steve king, thanks for the rundown. we appreciate it very much. >>> next up on kudlow, if the white house and the senate won't pass a budget how in the world will we ever balance the budget? we'll pursue that in just a moment. "why did i roll over my i.r.a. to scottrade?" "for starters, it didn't cost me anything." "and i got a one-hundred dollar cash bonus for rolling over by april 16th." "i like bonuses."

"it's why more investors with

so many people are opposed o obama care. they are concerned about what private people have to do and businesses have to do is religious institutions have to do. >> guest: i think the notion of should we provide basic health care to all americans is not the issue. there are different issues on whether or not the affordable health care is the right approach. we think that providing coverage to tens was millions of americans and providing the kind of care they need and drive down the cost of the care is an important thing. this question of the impact on religious nusions is something we took seriously right from the start. that's why when the policy was announced we said it would take 13 months tition. i think we have addressed that and this concern is one that people can disagree on the margins about. but we have addressed the coreissue and no institution, that has religious principles violated has to pay for or offer the services. women have acess to the kinds of care they are entitled to. >> chris: let's turn to the budget i

is because of the bill that you drafted in massachusetts, romney care, which was the model for obama care and the government takeover of health care. >> wait a second. >> but if romney struggled to sell himself and his own vision and his worst moments of the night were when he talked about his own record -- >> if you don't balance your budget in business, you go out of business. so i've lived balancing budgets. i also serve in the olympics, balance the budget there, and served in the states and in all four years i was governor we balanced the budget. >> yes, governor, you balanced budget for four years. have you a constitutional requirement to balance the budget in four years. no great shakes. i'd like to see it federally but don't go around bragging about something you have to do. michael dukakis balanced the budget for ten years. does that make him qualified to be president of the united states? i don't think so. >> and oddly romney only talked about his new tax plan he unveiled yesterday one time and it was in response to a hit by santorum. >> governor romney even today suggested raisi

even if obama care and romney care are pretty much the same thing. >> let's go back to some questions. bob, there's one from your campus at george mason. zooun, i actually have a question of the doctor. she points out that the tea party had a disproportionate influence on the 2010 elections because there were fewer people out to strovote in a midterm election. more generally we're seeing a lot about the tea party. is that because there are more people who think this way, or is it the same number of people who have just gotten organized and what's the import of that question for their future influence? >> an excellent point. i don't think their numbers influence for future votes? >> it's an excellent point. i don't think their numbers are increasing, and we know that americans in general are teeed off at the label tea party as they become more familiar with kick ass style of campaigning that they seem to advocate. so as much as people were bucked up by media in 2010 and 2011 can have a disproportionate impact on what all of us talk about. it's probably a waning impact, but let's not ki

that is the obama care lawsuit the heart of it. it is not just about health insurance.t is about the breadth of congressional power. can they make us eat broccoli for breakfast because it is healthier than the doughnut i like to have. this is also about congressional power but focused on the first amendment and freedom of religion. there it is reason it is in the first amendment. there is nothing more important in this country than the freedom to worship as you see fit and not be forced by the government to violate your conscience. this is not about contraception or abortive patients. that is part of it. it is bigger than that. it is about government intervention in religion and the government needs to leave us alone and allow us to worship as we see fit and not force people to violate their consciences. that is what the lawsuit will be about. >> mike: i appreciate your being here today. i wish you would promise you will keep us posted on the progress of the lawsuit because we want to be following it it. it is of great interest to every american even if they disagree wi

now we know that president obama really likes music. cares about music.ter he lost not just to kennedy in the presidential election but lost to pat brown in that governor's election in california. here he is with a piece he composed himself. ♪ >> fascinating. fascinating. i have never seen that before. i had no idea he played the piano. maybe that's my failing as a student of history. bottom line for all this stuff is if you're going to put yourself out there, you better do it well. if you don't, everyone is going to be watching. >> danger point. is it a danger for this president -- republicans are running an ad that will show tomorrow night razzing him on this saying he's acting like he's celebrating and there's nothing to celebrate yet. here's the attack ad. ♪ come on, baby don't you want to go ♪ >> the republican national committee is responsible for the content of this advertising. >> they have similar celebrating rising gas prices. it works. >> it's a clever ad. hats off to the rnc. they made a clever ad. >> he still did the right thing? >> absolutel

and it wasn't just a mistake of communication. 20s to the heart of what obama care is about and what esident obama's vision of the federal government is about and i think conservatives and republicans have a real opportunity which they haven't quite taken advantage yet of really framing this as a big moment as not just making it about let's have more exemptions for more catholic institutions but explaining do you believe in limited government or believe that the government should tell us routinely how to conduct every aspect of our lives. >> chris: mara, does the revision fix it? >> i think if you are talking about the big argument about religious liberty and government mandates yes, the republicans have a chance to do something with it. from the white house point of view i think it does fix it. this he could have fixe fixed t this way months ago. the fact they let the culture wars bloom again by waiting so long was a mistake on their part. if they can keep the argument about contraception i think they are on strong grounds. they believe the majority of women, even catholic women are

if you had not supported him, if we had said no to arlen specter, we would not have obama care. don't look at me. take a look in the mirror. >> senator, please, quickly. >> okay, governor. let's get this straight. first off, number one, you funded romney care through federal tax dollars through medicaid. i know it well. it's called disproportionate share provider tax, about $400 million that you got from the federal taxpayers to underwrite romney care to make sure you didn't have to raise taxes right away. but of course you had to. you asked for the $8 billion of tax increases. yes, you balanced the budget for four years. off constitutional requirement to balance the budget for four years. no great shakes. i'd like to see it federally. but don't go around bragging about something you have to do. michael dukas kis balanced the budget for ten years. does that qualify him for president of the united states? i don't think so. what you did was use federal dollars to fund the government takeover of health care in massachusetts, used it -- and barack obama -- >> arlen specter. >> i'll

and who supported the stepchild of obama care? ho built the largest government run health care system in the united states. someone who would simply give that issue away in the fall, give the issue away of government control of your health. who would be the better person to go after the obama administration on trying to control the energy and the manufacturing sector of our economy and trying to dictate to you what lights to turn on and what cars to drive? manmade global warming and imposed the first carbon cap in the state of massachusetts? the first state to do so in the country? >> no. >> would it be someone to take on the other big issue of government control of our economy, which is the government control of the financial services sector? we see a lot of -- everybody up on stageç complaining about d dodd-frank. two of the three candidates supported the wall street bailout, the predecessor. who provides the clear contrast of believing in the conservative vision of bottom up, free people, free markets not government dependency,

he says it's virtually identical to the federal law, some people call it obama care. the truth is it is similar. santorum also said that -- >> nothing that romney care did anything like obama care to reduce costs, which is the principle problem. the uninsured went from 92% up to 94%. 2% increase in the number of insured while the cost for the state of massachusetts skyrocketed. they now have costs higher than any state in the country. >> that's true, but, the number of insured went up 2% but down in the rest of the country. so, it is successful in that regard, an important point. massachusetts does spend more money per person on health care than any other state. it was true before romney care. you can't say it's just because of the law. finally, of course, newt gingrich this week paining in ohio. he had this to say about medicare and medicaid fraud. >> the governor is a incompetent administrator of your money. $16 billion and $110 billion of your cost. in south florida today, professional criminals say it is safer and more profitable to steal from medicare and medicaid

and let me mention one more -- the reason we have obama care, the reason we have obama care is becausever pat toomey in pennsylvania, arlen specter, the pro-choice senator of pennsylvania that you supported and endorsed in a race over pat toomey, he voted for obama care. if you had not supported him, if we had said no to arlen specter, we would not have obama care so don't look at me. take a look in the mirror. >> well -- >> senator, please, quickly. >> so, okay, governor, let's get this straight. first off, number one, you funded romney care through federal tax dollars through medicaid. i know it well. it's called disproportionate share provider tax. about $400 million that you got from the federal taxpayers to underwrite romney care to make sure you didn't have to raise taxes right away. but, of course, you had to. ask your governor, the $8 billion of tax increases he had to put in place. yes, governor, you balanced the budget for four years. you have a constitutional requirement to balance the budget in four years. no great shakes. >> i'm all for -- i'd like to see it federally, but
