the american people thought particularly in massachusetts when they elected scott brown as a 41st votecloture, that that would be the even of this just as weed killed hillary-care. but the democrats persisted and rammed through this bill and it remains unpopular. bill: here is what the other survey said. 54 per think the states should have the option to opt out. but this number surprises me. this number was 79% early november. about whether the issue of healthcare is important to them when it comes to voting in 2012. that number has dropped from 79% to 65%. what would explain that, do you believe? >> i'm not sure, bill. but i think you know mitt romney, one of our candidates on the republican side, has said one of the first things he will do maybe the day he's inaugurated, he will grant waivers to all 50 states allowing hem to opt out. this would be in through of an absolute outright repeal of obama-care. the supreme court will probably get this case in their upcoming session, i belief that begins in october. they will make a decision on whether or not that section that requires indivi

and megyn in the internet era scott brown has already shown you can raise money rapidly. that is not the obstacle it used to be. someone can jump in very late and become the republican nominee. before the iowa straw poll we found that 28% of iowa voters were certain of who they were going to vote for. 72% were wide open to changing their mind. the race remains wide open today. megyn: you see that with the ascension of perry topping everybody in the field according to your latest poll. thank you. new reporting on america's economic health. a sister company to credit ratings company moody's significantly lowering the near term growth for the united states and making a second recession more likely. stew varney is with me now. what does this mean. >> reporter: there is real unease about a recession that may be impending in the united states, even though another rating agency this morning gave america that same aaa credit rating. this is fitch, but this is a smaller credit rating agency. the big negative came from moody's and one of its organizations which says there is a one

the real lesson here of course is that in massachusetts in january of 2010 the tea party elected scott brownenator kerry doesn't want to hear the message that many of the voters are sending. it's a welcome message. shannon: i have to think that the folks behind the big sweep in the midterm tph-s 2010, a lot of that credited to the tea party, dozens of members of congress elected, a lot of them it would only fire them up more to hear someone like senator kerry trying to completely sideline them as if they are not legitimate at all. he called hem absurd. >> what is so fascinating about the tea party movement is the hysteria, the way people have turned against the tea party and see them as a threat. you have a lot of people for economic reasons coming out of the woodwork that weren't previously involved in politics, and all of a sudden already, people can make a blue state like massachusetts go red. that's another reason like people like senator kerry that are so much the part of the status quo in washington are so fearful when we hear the message, we mean it, washington needs to change, the sp

he did it, got it done against great odds but i remember when scott brown was elected in massachusetts. many democrats said, forget it, we will never get it done. obama was the one who basically said, we are, along with nancy pelosi. but after the midterms i went down to virginia the next day and to southwestern virginia, which is coal mining country. a 30-year congressman rick boucher, tremendously popular, defeated by some who did not live in the district. i asked, why would you throw out this popular congressman who brought home a ton of bacon to the port area? you know, obama disappointed us. we thought he was a new kind of politician and instead we saw him wheeling and dealing and trading medicaid payments and the louisiana compromise and dealing with the insurance companies and hospitals and giving everything away in order to get this health care bill. he was not supposed to be that type. in other words, obama is living in an age where two hours after the deal that lbj would cut with the weather -- whoever was then, the whole world knew and it is stomach turning. so, obama had to

but people like scott brown in massachusetts, he has said or at least he is expected to vote yes.uess the question is does the tea party like this deal? >> no, the tea party doesn't. and that is why you see someone like senator orrin hatch of utah who you mentioned, you know, like all the senators only serves a six-year term, is only up for re-election every six years. he wasn't a tea party conservative six years ago, but now he's turned into one because he's getting challenged from the right. and the club for growth is going after him in utah. they're backing the house candidate, jason chaffetz, and he is running the race of his life. so even though he decided to vote no today because it's not good enough for the tea party, he's still not going to get their support. it's not going to work for him in utah. you see, that's why you see senator jim demint of south carolina, senator rand paul of kentucky, the tea party conservative republicans in the senate saying, no, this doesn't go far enough. jon: yeah. there are four members of the house, four republican members of the house who

senators john kerry and scott brown traded in their suits and ties for biking shorts yesterday. armstrong and thousands of others in a cancer fund-raiser. they trek more than 100 miles from stur bridge to massachusetts. they were raising some $34 million. great event. >> a couple governors passed away. >> yeah. >> from new york. governor back in the '70s that helped stave off bankruptcy and a governor before becoming senator in oregon. 1965 spoke out against the vietnam war. one of the first major politicians to do that. a remarkable man and remarkable career. let's move on to sports and what everybody is talking about in america, everybody. you know what it is. the english premier league kicked off yesterday. >> i heard that. >> manchester, 2-0, comes back and wins, 3-2. you call it kick ball. >> let's do a real sport. sunday night baseball. >> he's trying to help you here. >> first place in the american league east. patriots leader, chad ochocinco. brett gardner, not known for his own power. a shot to right center field. it gives the yankees a lead. bottom of the ninth. a fly

before i turn it over to senator brown, every now and then and i'm sure scott has noticed this, we misalignedentives. we misaligned incentives in the federal government. we incentivize the wrong kind of behavior and then we get the right results. we incentivize a lot of federal agent needs to lease. the incentives are to be sent with the way we call if you want to buy a building up front, even if that makes sense long-term, winston tobias at the way that we scored that expenditure in the first year as opposed to leasing, which could be scored for 10, and 20, 30 years or more. one of the things i hope comes out of this hearing are good discussion on how we change those incentives, getting them properly align fully meet the needs of our agencies to meet the better meet the fiscal constraints of our country. i look forward to this hearing from eyewitnesses as he sure does have thoughts on how to transfer massive portfolio that generates significant savings and with that i'm happy to turn over to senator scott brown of massachusetts. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i would venture to guess we are the

the good news is that elizabeth warren will be running against scott brown here in massachusetts forhe senate. that is the good news, thanks, take care. host: here are a couple of e- mails -- fayetteville, north carolina, good morning. caller: i have to agree with the last couple comments. i think it is a bigger story that ron paul pimmit such a close second to michelle bachmann to get all the media attention seems to be on michelle bachmann. i think ron paul is the strongest candidate from the republican field. host: jim has this point -- our twitter page is twitter.com. next is john from fayetteville, north carolina. are you with us? we will try one more time. ok, we will continue with more of your phone calls. this comment is from one of our viewers -- our guest is from "the l.a. times." thank you for being with us. guest: it is great to be here. host: what kind of reception did rick perry dead when he got into the race? guest: extremely enthusiastic, he spoke before the rest a gathering which is a group of conservative writers on line who get together every year and usually meet

and with that unhappy given over to senator scott brown from massachusetts. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you to our witnesses. i would venture to guess where the only hearing in d.c. right now. and it's interesting listening to mr. chairman, and i want to thank you for this important hearing, through a lot of our efforts, your efforts, we been able to put the spotlight on some of the programs that just aren't doing it right. and it's funny, half a billion dollars, at least office space, it just blows my mind how we get in these situations. and people wonder where the money is going. it's very clear where it's going. it's going some places very poorly chosen, whether it is lease spaces, programs, whether they be military programs that are not working or obsolete, but we are just wasting money all over the place. in the middle of a financial emergency, i find that very disturbing. and that's why i was proud to put party politics aside and work with the president and congressman denham on the civilian property will i'm act, or cbrne, the bipartisan legislation that you refer
