go in focus with steve forbes, rich karlgaard, sabrina schaefer, john tandy and bruce jackson. welcome, bruce. thank you for coming on. steve, were the protesters right? >> absolutely right in terms of choice. government gives you very little choice. we are ending up as a people paying more for less. no reason a 60-year-old man should pay for maternity benefits. so the whole thing is collapsing. both in cost in terms of joyce and in terms of the roll-out. against the whole grain of american individualism and free markets that is turning caris city to abundance. this has gone the opposite direction of the soviet union. berlin wall fell in 1989 the last i checked. >> bruce, going back to listen to the protesters before obamacare was rolled out, you realize how right some of their concerns were, don't you? >> well, certainly there are people who are, whose costs will go up but it is because they get a better plan, they get essentially health benefits they haven't had before. for most part they will get more choices. we have to remember here, they were uninsured. they had no choice

the fda's proposal and the likelihood it will be implemented, we're joined now from washington by sabrina tavernisi of "the new york times" who has written extensively about the topic. thanks so much for joining us. what are these new rules? >> the rules essentially lay out changes that the pharmaceutical industry needs to make to the labels of drugs they make for farm animals, anti buy otic drugs. essentially once the changes are made, that will mean that the farmers and ranchers and the agricultural businesses will no longer be allowed to use and buy otics in feed and water for growth promotion purposes. in other words, to make the animals grow faster and be plumper. >> we know these proposals, these rules are already coming under some criticism. why is that? >> essentially there's a great deal of skepticism in public health community, understandably, that the agricultural businesses are going to use a loophole to essentially allow them to continue using the same low doses of antibiotics over the course of the lifetime of the animal and just say, for example, they needed to use it for d

sabrina?oblem for detroit is politicians and union leaders sort of, you know, each rubbing each other's backs. the unions kept the politicians in business. the politicians then rewarded them with cushy pensions and i hope there's a lesson for many other cities throughout. >> in detroit, they kept electing politicians that said they were going to fix it now. instead, well, cnn got this one right. >> they turned city hall into a den of bribes and kickbacks making themselves rich. >> the former mayor charged taxpayers for 54 trips, limo rentals and unusual. some 50 cities have gone broke since 1980. usually it is about just giving to the workers. >> you got the politicians who get money from the unions and the unions who get money from the politicians and they sit down and engage in hard bargaining and that's why detroit is the canary in the mine for a whole lot of american cities and states who are so far in debt with their public pension plan. >> catches up with people and hopefully other citie

obviously sabrina says this money is invested, certainly some of it wisely.think nasa spent $125,000 on a 3-d printer to make pizzas. which, you know, we have ovens that make pizzas. but does he get points for that? >> oh, i suppose. but, you know, what's $125,000, honestly? what's $30 million in the scheme of the federal budget? you know, it's something, but, you know, thomas, i think a lot of these studies probably when you really look into them, they're easy to make fun of on television, the titles of them, but i would imagine something important is learned in a lot of this research, and i think the government probably should fund research into what makes a happy marriage. i don't have difficulty with that. i don't think tom coburn -- i don't think republicans, conservatives should have an issue with that. >> can't put a price tag on a happy marriage, michael. you can't put a price tag on a happy marriage. >> the government does. >> corey, let me leave it with you. much ado about nothing or is this a great way to display areas of wasteful spending that ame

sabrina schaefer, mark tagie and jo tanmey. will these help or hurt the economy? >> with this administration it will hurt the economy. the irs is now going after the conservative groups under rule making even though it was illegal before. epa is going after fracking and shutting down the coal industry. you see it in the federal reserve and other federal agencies. their attitude is we will do the law like a third worl country and let the world clean it up later. >> extra powers means extra cause for taxpayers. >> let's put this in perspective. every president has pursued an agenda. they pursued it through executive orders. going way, way back to ronald reagan and his firing of the air traffic controllers. why shouldn't obama use this to in a time when congress is in a stalemate. i think you are forgetting the positive things that come out of the executive orders. things like aid for hurricane sandy victims and review of cancer drugs. things dealing with nonuse of or pro huh business of biological agents. >> it is true that other presidents have used the executive o

joining me now is sabrina joyce stevens.rector of education -- he was on governor christie's task force, and randy wynn winegard. i will begin with you darrelle. what's your take on it? >> the one, to be equally sceptical, i think when i see this story i'm like this is not a story. the news is not new to me and i don't think it's really knew to anybody. every few years you get a new battery that tells us stuff that we know very importantly that we do very little about. the rich kids in the united states are doing okay compared to everybody else, the poor kids are doing horribly. and next year we will get the same data. to me -- >> things have not changed overtime. so saying there is a decline, you're saying is not true. >> i think the story is external mostly. the data says we're doing much of the same, but other countries are getting better faster. >> does that stand with your interpretation of it? >> yes, i think what we have seen in the course of the last ten years that the u.s. is basically in the same place in these pis

we have serena maxwell, condition contributor to the grio, and sabrina is from "the huffington post."bout race in his speeches and that's why so many ears perked up yesterday to this. here's what he had to say about this about why that is contributed and why washington considers to act on issues on economic inequality. take a listen. >> there is the myth that this is a problem restricted to a small share of predominantly minority poor. this isn't a broad-based problem. it's a black problem or a hispanic problem or a native-american problem. >> he said this is one of the better speeches he's given in trying to lay it out realistically and honestly about race in the country, but why do you feel that way that this theme was able to resonate through where it hasn't before from him. >> because i think that the problems that have long plagued african-american community are impacting everyone and so this message really hits home with people that are really making poverty wages and not able, even though they're working full time to feed their families and i think that that message resonates w

melissa: sabrina it is interesting walmart came in. they fought this battle. was going to keep them out of the district of columbia. they came. and then as soon as they opened their doors the city council passes this. did they see it coming do y think? what has, what do you -- >> yeah. melissa: you did? >> this is very contentious debate. now the councilman and democrats in d.c. embracing walmart as great savior but for months and months people of washington could have been benefiting from lower prices and more affordable healthy food options in area that doesn't have it. if the d.c. council really stood in the way of all this the minimum wage conversation now is really distraction from real regulatory reforms could boost business in the city. re reforms like expanding the d.c. opportunity solarship program so people have more educational choices. this is a mask of a much deeper problem. melissa: jonathan -- >> all walmart can do, all walmart can do is trade. they trade with their customers. they trade with their employees. it is all voluntary. everyone is sat

. >> sabrina siddiqui is joining us, a political reporter. thank you are for coming on tonight. enate majority leader harry reid said he'll extend the time for the benefits. passing? >> it will be an uphill battle. republicans show little interest in expanding benefits. spending cuts elsewhere will be required to pay for the cost of extending unemployment benefits. and then there's the conservative wing of the republican party. the tea party republicans oppose the unemployment benefits. it will be up to republican leaders in the house, and mitch mcconnell to apiece the tea party as well, or pass something with majority democratic support, which is something that john boehner has only been willing to do so many times. >> and robert johnson spoke about the impact on retailers and banks. listen to this. >> that last check comes out on december 28th. then, what enabled them to make the car or home payment if it had been the unemployment benefit. if that goes away it will create pain and financial institution. >> what influence will the financial institution and businesses have on th

sabrina: you guys deserve it. congratulations. absolutely. news at 11:00 p.m. >> the weather create a mess on a busy travel day. cancellations at the airport all because of a weather system headed our way. the 70 degree temperatures we enjoyed on the weekend are a long way away. back to normal. >> temperatures of it before -- below normal. the cold front, the storm is out of the picture. still lingering on the eastern shore. temperature starting to fall as well. 37 in gaithersburg. -- this morning we were at 64. temperatures are falling. running colder than they were at this time last night. you will have some gusty winds to do with. disturbance could and some snowflakes to part of the area followed by much colder temperatures. could it be enough to give us a white christmas? we will find out and a couple of minutes. >> lots of people traveling and we will have to do with the weather. delays out of washington airports have not been that bad but it is a different story to the west of here. we have an update. >> i cannot tell you how much colde

. >> you wrote wrote about, sab re sabrina, about women who were sexual assaulted and were too afraidse who were supposed to investigate these? right? >> that's right. 85% of sexual assault victims do not report crimes they are so fearful of retaliation from their command or from whatever reprisals could happen. >> so talk talk about the two bills being discussed out there. do you think they are going to make much of a difference? >> i think both bills are poised to make a tremendous difference. there is a big difference between the two bills. the difference is in the role that they think the commander should take in determining the fate of sexual assault cases. right now, a commander is the person who ultimately decides which sexual assault cases get prosecuted and which don't. the civilian equivalent of that would really be like if there was a sexual assault in the workplace and the d.a. wanted to press charges, wanted to prosecute, and the da would have to go to the workplace and speak to the accused boss and ask for permission to proceed. if the boss said, no, they would have to w

. >> sabrina, turly is not a witch hunter of the president. he voted for the president. >> right. i think he's thinking, i remember a time when america could brag that we were a nation of laws, not willful men and women who made up the rules. it's different when you elect a superstar he suddenly doesn't think that he's there to be the president. >> good or bad for the constitution? >> bad. turly is saying president obama was doing this in overdrive. because the government won't uphold the laws, why should taxpayers abide by them. every president from ford through clinton opposed 250 laws, the constitutional objections but they still upheld them. in president is doing worse in not unforcing the laws. >> he likes to quote the founding fathers. listen to this quote from james madison. he says it will be of little avail to the people that the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read or so incoherent that they cannot be understood or undergo insays ent changes that no man who knows what the law is today will know what they are tomorrow. >> presidents can't send troops into war, a

deja saber a todos los representantes de los estados y tambien los congresistas que estamos aqui". s/sabrinasachusetts :21-25 "queremos que ellos nos apoyan porque, nosotros somos una parte de la comunidad muy grande y nuestro voto es bastante importante" por su parte, un grupo de congresistas democratas exigio hoy nuevamente al presidente barack obama, que use su poder ejecutivo a favor de las familias inmigrantes y le enviaran una carta. s/luis gutierrez/ congresista democrata :38-45 "para las deportaciones, hay 5 millones de ninios ciudadanos de los estados unidos es inaceptable deportar a los padres de ninios ciudadanos de los estados unidos y deportar a sus padres y dejarlos huerfanos" pero algunos republicanos consideran que el deber del presidente es hacer cumplir la ley. s/liliana henao/washington 1:00-1:05 para muchos ya es mas que claro que una propuesta de reforma migratoria no sera debatida este anio, en el congreso...ah ora la pregunta es, que tantas probabilidade s tiene para el anio 2014. anio de elecciones primarias en el cual algunos republicanos enfrentan sus propias renida

. >> sabrina, let's do what they are doing? >> yeah. i agree. of the problems, of course, is the post office tried to trim personnel and cut back on the hours. but they are limited in their ability to mod earnize based on congress. unlike the private marketpce if you fail to adapt, you will go out of business. we have the company that is sort of sputtering along, e institution. we should either get government out of the way so they can do what they want to do. >> steve, quickly. aren't politics in favor of this? isn't this something both sides of the aisle can agree on? >> only way it happens is the tremendous losses and there are positive ways to do it. i will cost money but it's what happens when you get government out of the way. it's worth the price. they have pension fund and they have wherewithal to make adjustments relatively painlessly for most people. >> there is a specific example of how to save money. coming up, the informers have the last-minute stocks to pay for your last-minute shopping. >>> we are back. before you head out for las
