>> well, you know, no question when sylvia burwell goes up to capitol hill this will be an opportunity for republicans to go after the affordable care act, to go after the obamacare. we can hear a full hearing of all of their grieve yans grieve time. she does not come out of the world of obamacare and health and human services. she is the president's budget director. the white house feels god about her management skills. she was part of the budget deal that was hammered out last fall. they feel pretty good about her hands-on deals when it comes with bureaucracy. there will be some flash points i would expect during her hearing but at the same time white house officials do expect this transition to happen from kathleen sebelius to sylvia burwell to happen in may. that depends on the confirmation progress. >> that means congress is going to actually have to let a

we're talking about sylvia burwell.day she was confirmed 96-0, and he said nothing about her has changed. i want to play a little bit of what jeff sessions -- his office is pointing back she had some difficulties with her before. here's a little bit of their interaction for when she was on the hill. >> so are you proposing that we ought to run so you can spend $60 billion more next year alone? >> what we are proposing -- >> yes or no, is that correct? >> we propose -- >> can't you answer that question simply yes or no? do you propose to spent $56 billion more than rye i don't know murry allows and you proposing we change it to allow you to do so yes or no? >> senator, we do propose a change in the law that would be fully paid for, that would be invest in the things that we believe for the economic health of the nation. >> you are refusing it. i will answer it. the answer is you are going to spend -- you are asking us to raise the spending limits by changing the ryan murray law so you can spend even more than you agreed

look, john mccain tweeted that sylvia burwell is an excellent choice. m not sure jeff sessions would agree with that. last month during a hearing, he was excoriating toward burwell for her tendency and the omb wants to do this, to spend $56 billion more than the president agreed to. take a listen. >> are you spending more than the law allows currently? >> senator, it makes a very big difference -- >> why can't you say yes or no to that. >> because some questions aren't yes or no -- >> you've had your explanation. are you paying more or less? >> something questions aren't yes or no questions. >> this one is a yes or no question. you're refusing to answer it. i will answer it. the answer is that you're going to spend -- you're asking us to raise the spending limits by changing the ryan murray law so you can spend even more than you agreed to spend ten weeks ago. >> i watched the whole thing. burwell was saying essentially, you, congress, should spend more money because i say so. i'm not sure she's going to get an easy ride. >> no, i think jeff sessions wil

president's nomination of budget director sylvia burwell to replace her and where obama care goes from here. with two members of the senate committee that will hold confirmation hearings. republican tim scott

experienced, as competent as my current director of the office of management and budget, sylvia matthews burwell. sylvia is from a small town, hinton, west virginia. so she brings the common sense that you see in small towns. she brings the values of caring about your neighbor and ordinary folks to some of the biggest and the most complex challenges of her time. she's a proven manager who has demonstrated her ability to field great teams, forging strong relationships and deliver excellent results at the highest levels, and she has done it both in the public and the private s sectors. as coo and later president of the global development of the gates foundation, sylvia worked on the cutting edge of the world's most pressing health challenges. as the head of the walmart foundation, and a member of the board at met life, she gained first hand experience into the how insurance markets work and how they can work better for businesses and families alike. here as my budget director at the white house, she has already delivered results. after all n the years since she arrived the deficit has plunged by m

i want to get your idea about what happens next with this confirmation for sylvia burwell. >> i know sylvia quite well. worked with her in the clinton administration, she is as reported a first-class woman with bipartisan support. to answer your question specifically, the republicans should and argue you'lly need to use the hearings to get to the bottom of what the numbers mean, what the 7-7.5 million sign-ups mean in terms of demographics and most importantly how many have paid. she needs to really offer specific solutions to fixing obamacare in terms of coverage and premiums. the republicans need to use this as the base to show that their constructive on health care, not just using it to go negative for a political reason given the elections in the fall. >> pat, what happens next? >> well i think doug summed it up. one thing, sebelius is not going to be a vice president for anybody for sure. it took forever to get rid of her. you know, this declaring victory. when george achens had been in vietnam, we should declare victory and get out, was not a bad strategy for vietnam. unfortunat

>> sylvia burwell is the current budget director. she worked for jack lew.t is interesting that when they are talking about her and what she brings to the table, it is that she is a proven manager. a management implementor. she gets things done. the timing is really important. the confirmation hearing -- they will dig up all sorts of dirt. the white house wants to get this out of the way now before you get into that. >> i cannot think of anyone who is more capable than sylvia burwell. she's a good manager, but she is more than that. she's incredibly smart. she has an easy charm. she was a rhodes scholar. when a rhodes scholar was elected to the legislature, they said, let's put him on a committee. we will come back to that. let me turn to you. tax day. it is here. one of the great inevitabilities. will there be sticker shock? >> absolutely. this is the first year where the tax returns for the top percent of americans will include increases that came with the fiscal cliff last year. dust off your memories of 2012. the top margin goes up to 39%. capital gains

new head there, but it is an issue, and i expect them to use the confirmation hearing of sylvia matthews burwell to air the grievances. she was confirmed to the office of management and budget unanimously, but maybe tougher for her to be confirmed as the head of hhs because it is incredibly politicized. >> and dafna, will the republicans try to block this or use it as a forum to keep the whole critique of obamacare going in a much more public way? >> well, they can't block it. but they will do exactly that, use it as a forum, and use anything as a forum, including any race in the midterms, but this mornbling we were talk about seeing the new campaign ad out for mark begich who is running in alaska and very pro obamacare ad. it is very impressive ad, and i think that there are going to be candidates who are going to buck that trend, and run on the obamacare, and the support of it and win. >> and we mentioned the poll though showing that 84% say that the obama carecare is an important factor in determining the midterm vote, and that not just a strong majority of the republicans, but 52% of democra

the woman that was named to replace her is sylvia burwell. sebelius have to go, and what do you make of the timing of her resignation? >> well, i think she gave a lot of good service to the president and to the country. she was there nearly six years in an extremely tough job at a very consequential time through the whole health care bill, through the roll-out with all its malfunctions. i think it probably is a good thing to have a new face going forward and sylvia matthews burr rel well is a very good choice. she has a lot of goodwill on the republican side, and she has a lot of experience and ability. she was president clinton's deputy chief of staff and secretary rubin's chief of staff, and she had an important role in the recent budget agreement. she brings a strong set of credential wrshz. >> are you both members as we said of one of two senate committees that's going to hold confirmation hearings on sylvia burwell. senator scotland, burwell was confirmed 96-0 just a year ago to be the budget chief. you voted for her, and the question i

that's why she's leaving now and sylvia burwell is replacing her. the administration sees this as the best possible way to move on and try to turn the corners. >> regardless of what you think of walmart, it is a company with a reputation for efficient management, hopefully she'll bring that to the table. obamacare has a big victory with the latest signup numbers. what do you think the next hurdle is? >> it's going to be premiums in 2015, how much insurance increases, whether we see big spikes and those might be due to obamacare or just the fact that health care spending seems to be rebounding a little bit. but i think the combination of that with midterm elections, that's going to be a very closely watched moment. >> and of course penalties for the uninsured, how do you think that will go over? >> you'll start seeing some people who see part of their tax refund taken away because they don't have health insurance. that is obviously not very popular. we don't expect a lot of people to pay the penalty. it will be in massachusetts and little less than 1

interesting to note that kathleen sebelius will stay on the job until sylvia burwell is confirmed, soine should we expect on that? >> reporter: oh, we expect a transition period where sebelius will stick around and make sure that sylvia matthews burwell gets confirmed, and we anticipate that, you know, she was confirmed, as the president said, unanimously for the office of management and budge, but this is a much different job, and you can bet republicans are going to have a lot of questions. they're going to press the administration for more details about this law. here's republican mike lee. >> this, ultimately, isn't about the person, it's about the policy. and secretary sebelius was in charge of implementing a very unpopular policy. and her departure signals the end of a very tumultuous era for the obama administration. >> reporter: but republicans like mike lee, mitch mcconnell putting out a statement suggesting that this confirmation hearing to come for matthews will be a chance to dig in on a lot of specifics such as how many of those seven million plus sign-ups have actually p

you mentioned sylvia burwell. highly respected on capitol hill both parties because she has a business background. what senior administration officials are telling us tonight is that the president now wants someone post sebelius to be all over not just the web site but signups. the full implementation of this law in a way perhaps that kathleen sebelius inside herself she hadn't been able been up to doing that job. they are praising kathleen sebelius tonight. but they are obviously expressing relief that there is going to be a change here. i think sylvia burwell, someone before being the office of management and budget was also someone who ran the wal-mart foundation, ran the bill gates foundation. this is someone who is a manager, bit of a business background. ran major projects and, let's face it, that's what this is. the full implementation that he is trying to make of the wall as republicans still try to repeal tore change it it final point i will make is while she may get through this confirmation process, syl

. >> sylvia burwell has a great representation, been at treasury, been omb during the clinton years. she's got high praise from the president, even a tweet from john mccain today, who tweeted out, sylvia burwell is an excellent choice to be the next hhs secretary. she was confirmed 96-0. could there be any reason do you think for this senate not to confirm her this late in the administration? >> i can't imagine any reason they couldn't confirm her on a speedy basis. she has a track record in the president aegs administration and experience in the private sector, working for the gates foundation and walmart and serving on the board of an insurance company. she communicates on a daily basis with those on the hill and has enjoyed bipartisan support in the past. we're confident that she's earned that going forward. >> and going forward, do you think your past all of the bumps on health care on the rollout and that from now going forward you can change the dynamic? because it's become the target of criticism even when she went on the daily show with jon stewart, she had a rough time, and

this is sylvia burwell, currently serves as the budget chief for the white house. the administration thinks she's a safe pick because she's gone through this process before. she's had decent republican support in the past. maybe it will be easy, but as judge napolitano reminds us, you have to remember the mid term elections are coming. >> this is a bad time for the president to have to go through it. he has five to seven vulnerable democrats in the senate running for re-election. we're going to be tempted not necessarily to go along for the ride. and perhaps either to remain silent or neutral or at least be as curious and inquisitive as republicans would be of what miss burwell will do with the mess she's inheriting. their eyes are not going to be on the confirmation. their eyes will be on election day in november. >> and the other thing to remember is the way the senate works now after harry reid's nuclear option. it's broken down 53-45. democrats to republicans. used to be you needed 60 votes to do a confirmation process like this. now you just need 51. the judge

and today the participate nominated sylvia matthews burwell to replace her. libby casey is in washington right now, and libby did the secretaries resignation come as a surprise or it is more that shelasted as long as she did that surprised a lot? >> well, there was not a lot of heads up, so it was a surprise. but in retrospect it does make sense because she was there for the entire arc of the affordable care act, but she waited to resign until the open enrollment period ended. she told the president in march that once the law was sort of on its way that she would be stepping down from the post. there was a fair bit of conflict, especially in the last six months or so because of the self admitted botched rollout of the law and the website problems. so many people wanting to find out if they could get cheaper or health care period were unable to do so in the early rollout. so a lot of people saw her as a sign that went wrong. but today she emphasized all of the accomplishments of being a part of creating this new health care law. >> this was the most meaningful

let's talk about sylvia burwell. she was confirmed 96-0 when she was nominated to that post. but it wasn't without some bumps. i want to play a little bit of an interchange between her and gop senator jeff sessions who is now raising concerns he thinks her nomination represents the president wants a political ally in this new post heading up hhs. and he's afraid she won't say no to the president if it's necessary. he says it's in light of context of the questioning about some budget issues. here's a little bit of that exchange. >> so you're proposing that we all -- so you can spend $56 billion more next year alone. >> what we are proposing -- >> yes or no, is that correct? >> we propose -- >> can't you answer that question simply yes or no? do you propose to spend $56 billion more than murray allows. and you're proposing we change ron murray to allow you to do so, yes or no? >> senator, we do propose a change in the law that would be fully paid for that would invest in the things that we believe are necessary for the economic health of the nation. >> you're refusing to answer

billions, president obama named sylvia secretary be -- kathleen sebelius, president obama named sylvia burwell20 minutes. >> ladies and gentlemen, the ident and vice president of the united states accompanied by kathleen sebelius and sylvia mathews burwell. >> good morning everybody. [applause] everybody have a seat, everybody have a seat. good morning. in my sixth year in office, i am so grateful to have some the great advisors. early in march, my secretary of health and human services told me she would be moving on once enrollmentpen the affordable care act came to an end. after five years of extraordinary service to our country, and 7.5 million americans who have signed up for health coverage, she has earned that right. [applause] i will miss her advice, i will miss her friendship, i will miss her wit, but i'm proud to nominate somebody to succeed her who holds these traits in abundance. sylvia mathews burwell. [applause] just a couple of things about kathleen. when i nominated kathleen more than five years ago, i've gotten to know her when she was governor of kansas, and showed extraordina

members as we said of one of two senate committees that's going to hold confirmation hearings on sylvia burwell. senator scott, when burwell was confirmed 96-0 just a year ago to being the budget chief, you voted for her. and the question i have for you, senator scott, is might you vote against her now because of your concerns with obamacare? >> there's no doubt she was a good choice for omb. that does not necessarily make her guy choice for hhs. the real question we have to dig into is how obamacare and the role of the secretary of hhs, how they have been woven together and what it looks like to the american people. what we learned over the last several months is that only thing that are increasing obamacare are the premiums. premiums are higher than they used to be. we know there was a double digit increase in premiums both in the individual market and the small group market. we also know that out of pocket expenses as well as deductibles are increasing. the only things that gone down so far under obamacare are the number of doctors in your network. the number of hospitals in your network, th

president obama will nominate sylvia matthews burwell to replace sebelius. and republicans are looking forward to using her confirmation hearings to get a few more shots at obamacare. diana? >> all right. tahman bradley with the big story in washington today. thank you. >>> there's still no word about the missing malaysia airlines

as far as a replacement it looks like it will be sylvia burwell she serves as the president's budget chief. the white house thinks they are going to have a relatively easy confirmation process in the senate because she is enjoyed by partisan support in the past. this can get complicated especially when you put in an over lay. >> we have 5-7 vulnerable democrats in the senate running for reelection. we will be tempted not necessaries illy to go along for the ride. with y we will stay neutral or the mess she is inheriting and their eyes aren't going to be on the confirmation but election day in november. >> one thing to remember they can change the rules and confirmations so you need 51 done. they can do that with just democrats. some of the democrats may be reluctant to go along with the president in an election year. we will have that at 7:00. >>> doug luzader joining us live. >> he is accused of going on a stabbing spree inside this pennsylvania high school. did he know what he was doing? huz attorney is calling for a psychiatric evaluation to determine his mental state at the time.

. >> reporter: to replace her, the president nominated sylvia burwell, a harvard graduate android's scholaandrhodes schol. she was confirmed for the job 9 of9-9-0. president obama said kathleen sebelius may be leaving, obamacar.standing along side the president, burwell welcomed her new role. >> i'm humbled honored and excited for the opportunity to build on the achievements that kathleen, the president and so many others have put in place. >> reporter: and tony, many worry this is an election year. the democrats stand a chance of losing control of the senate. they wanted a clean slate and turn the page, so they're quite happy today. the white house insists that the burwell nomination will go through the senate next month. >> mike viqueira at the white house for us. thank you. >>> investigators are trying to figure out what caused a tractor trail for slam into a bus in northern california killing ten people. it happened last night on interstate 5 100 norths o northf sacramento. it smashed into a bus full of high school students and three dozen more people were hurt. >> a city mourns today. a state

sylvia mathews burwell, if she's confirmed will face the political position. there's nothing like stepping into this. we see them saying that kathleen sebelius did the best she could. it's not about her, but a flawed law. >> we'll watch. >> thank you for being with us. a new report on the albuquerque police department. concluding that officers engaged in excessive deadly force. police say 20 people have been killed in the last five years. heidi zhou-castro is here with more on this. >> the justice department's report found there was a pattern of excessive force by part of the albuquerque police accident. it was a report that was scathing in its breadth and language. >> vindication, that's what the father of kenneth ellis iii felt op thursday, upon hearing these words in the department of justi justice. >> we found officers used deadly force against people who did not pose a threat of death. and against the people who posted threats to themselves. >> ellis was gunned down while pointing a gun at his own head. he had been an iraq war veteran. it has been this ma

and so the president chose si sylvia burwell for the hhs post, but even in her previous post she was unanimously confirmed. >> well, remember that the senate changed the rules last year to have 55 to confirm, and i believe they will use this process, because obama has said that 7.5 million people have health insurance, and it is a good story. and the republicans will have people whose insurance went up in the process, and who lost insurance, and it is less of burwell being confirmed, and the republicans highlighting anything wrong with obama care in the process. >> well, you have heard tim scott reference obamacare and the numbers and conwoman marcia blackwell also brought it up on "face the nation." >> burwell is an interesting choice, and many of us and a growing consensus, i believe, that they know that they have a math problem with obamacare, and the numbers are not going to work out so that the program is going to be actuarially sound, and they have to have somebody to kind of spin the numbers, and in is something with burwell coming from the omb, i think that they are expecting

. >> let's talk about sylvia burwell. me raised frustration at the timing of secretary sebelius stepping down and the timing of sylvia's confirmation process in terms of concerns that the affordable care act will be kind of the punching bag for the republicans rather than the agenda that democrats wanted to be talking about in the fall. are you concerned about that timing. >> i think the timing worked well for kathleen. she goes out on a high note with the huge accomplishment of the enrollment period. sylvia comes in with really wind at her back and the fact that she was confirmed the first time. obviously she's well respected on both sides of the aisle. we had senators mccain and coburn tweeting how competent she is. i think the fact of the matter is people are always going to look for an excuse to be critical. the real fact is that this is good timing for kathleen sebelius. there's no one more competent and ready for this job than sylvia. we would hope for a swift confirmation. >> are those attacks and criticism, i would

sylvia burwell solves that problem as much as anyone can. so there is alikeness about it.nd also you saw in the president today more spring in his step, more passion than we've seen i wouldn't say in a long time, but certainly not totally usual. and i think this has been a good week for him politically, it's shrewd step for the white house. >> ezra, you have a headline that says kathleen sebelius is resigning because obamacare has won. and the numbers are serious. but has the war over obamacare truly been won? i will point out the minute kathleen sebelius' resignation was announced, there were tweets from the conservative peanut gallery, eric cantor said i thank secretary sebelius for her service. she had an impossible task. the problem with the law isn't leaving. obamacare has to go, too. never ever stop trying to repeal. >> the war over obama care won't he said. but they made a really controversial decision. i think people for get this a bit. the belief was, and there are really loud calls, that soo sa beel yus should be fired because she had managed that process amend s
