emanuel who is the brother of rahm emanuel and ari emanuel, he says we underfunded it. >> he was sortgoing off the rails at that point. but this is my takeaway from that section of the interview. this is one of the cheap architects of this law. and raefther than just coming clean, this is how it went down architects of this law. and rather than just coming clean, this is how it went down architects of this law. and rather than just coming clean, this is how it went down, there w it was blaming someone else including fox. there was a recent poll that said fox news is the most trusted source when it costs to information on the health care law. in the face of that, he says it's all fox news' fault. >> and i told you why, because it's not about obama care, it's about liberalism in general. this is his signature deal. but this doctor, to be fair to him, he didn't have anything to do with the rollout of the computer or anything. he's the big picture let's give health care to everybody guy. >> that's right. and he did say that he does believe they should have appointed a ceo to oversee healt

>> a while back, the president essentially told rahm emanuel, i got too much on my plate.og tilts its head and like huh? what did he just say? in my charitable view, i think the president was probably trying to say, you're bringing me too many small ball things. i don't want to be a micro manager on every little small decision. i want you to only bring me the big stuff. however, this year has been a banner year, particularly with the irs, syria, and then the obamacare rollout. the things that he doesn't know about that are the really big deals, these are the things that maybe rahm emanuel took him too literally and don't seem to tell him anything. >> he doesn't use his cabinet secretaries. is that correct? he's using advisors, not cabinet secretaries. >> i've always thought that the cabinet was very underutilized. in the year of 2012, during the election year, you know the president met with his cabinet once before the election. and these are really great did she issue it was only because they were starting to get a lot of criticism. your cabinet is your first line of defe

at some point, somebody has to go out of their hane and somebody said to me when rahm emanuel was chief of staff, he encouraged people to leave their lanes. it might have been a less organized white house. >> it was more effective though. >> in a way disagreeing publicly with each other, but i think the important thing here is that mobe likes to give a president bad news. you don't like to give your boss bad news. i don't like to give my boss bad news. nobody wants to do that, but somebody niece to be the designated bad news person. you would assume that's the white house chief of staff. they have to have this stature, immunity, if you will, to say to the president, okay, don't blame me, but this is what we're hearing. we need to deal with this. i know the president's trying to figure out what went wrong because he is not happy. >> isn't that valerie jarrett though? request i cannily because i want to get to kathleen sebelius. >> it might be valerie jarrett. is she in the loop enough on this to have understood all of it? you know, this is technical. this is wonky. >> and -- >> you know,

rahm emanuel has been talking about it since he got into office.re's been a lot of discussion about it. not much attend. not much action. the mayor has talked about raising the retirement age, increasing the contribution that city workers make to their own pension funds, freezing cost of living adjustments for a while. the labor union, of course, are against that. they say that would be a cut in benefits. now in illinois, it's the state law that controls ultimately controls the funding and benefits formulas for the city pension funds, and in springfield there has been a stalemate over this issue since the summer. the state legislature adjourned last week without taking any action on any of this. and with elections next year for governor and state legislature, it's hard to see how any of this is going to have, find a solution. >> we need a scott walker or chris christie to go into springfield, illinois, clean the joint up. john yank, thank you very much. so, is this going to continue? is this going to happen in all these lefty cities? i say lefty ci

that rahm emanuel had been involved in looking into focus groups of whether to replace joe biden as thewith hillary clinton. and he is asked, how could you have not known about that? that is pretty darn significant, right? let me just play how he responded. >> did you really not know your campaign was researching this idea of swapping joe biden for hillary clinton? >> anymore charge of 2 million people in the federal government. that was true, by the way, even when i was running for president. so people do all kinds of stuff. some of it they clear with me. sometimes they're trying to figure something out. particularly on the political side. and i'm not somebody who delves into polling and all that data. here's the one thing i can say for certain. that if they had asked me, i would have said there is no way that i'm not running again with joe biden i genuinely believe that he has been one of the best vice presidents in our history. >> i mean, obviously defending joe biden. he is okayly employee number one, right? he's like i watch over 2 million people. i might not know about this kind o
