well, this proposal, no washington exemption from obamacare proposal, is thoroughly bipartisan in america. it has enormous bipartisan support in america. the only place it's not popular, quite frankly, on a bipartisan basis is in washington, d.c. and again, what i heard over and over and over again in 18 town hall meetings in washington is the quicker you all apply all laws to yourself as much as they apply to america, the quicker you'll start figuring this stuff out and doing the right thing in washington, and i agree with that. and so, mr. president, i am simply asking for a timely vote on my proposal which has to be before october 1 for reasons i have explained which are beyond my control, and i have no desire to hold up these other amendments or this bill. so, mr. president, in that spirit, i would ask unanimous consent that the pending amendment be set aside and that the following amendments be made pending -- bennet number 1847, enzi number 1863, udall number 1845, sessions number 1879, inhofe number 1851, klobuchar number 1856, and vitter number 1866, and that on tuesday, september

and the most fundamental problem -- bigger than obamacare -- is the problem that washington has stopped listening to the american people. you know, it is quite striking, mr. president, that in discussions about obamacare among elected officials, you hear more complaints about "i don't like all the phone calls i'm getting from my constituents" than you do about obamacare. it is apparently an imposition on some members of this body for thei#-#-f-o-r-t-h-i-r-s-t-i-c-h- w-e- #-#-f-o-r-t-h-i-r-s-t-i-c-h-w-e- n-t-s-t-o-p-i-c-#-#-d-a-i-s-h- v- #-#-f-o-r-t-h-i-r-s-t-i-c-h-w-e- e-f-s-o-m-s-t-i-c-h-m-o-r- b-r-a- #-#-f-o-r-t-h-i-r-s-t-i-c-h-w-e- i-n-c-e-l-z-s-n-i-e-# today just today i've heard multiple senators complaining too many phone calls from my constituents. what a remarkable complaint. what a remarkable complaint. you know, mr. president, you and i both worked in the private sector. the private sector, if your boss picks up the phone and calls, i suspect neither you or i sat on our computer playing solitaire when our boss picked up the phone and called. neither one of us said boss, i'm to

obamacare statute. so this special rule for washington is illegal. flat-out illegal and contrary to the statute, in my opinion. but it goes into effect october 1, and that's why my colleagues and i who support the no washington exemption language had to take action, had to fight for a vote now. we need this debate and vote now before october 1. that's what it's all about, mr. president. as i said, my distinguished colleague from iowa, who authored this language, couldn't have been more clear. quote -- "the more that congress experiences the laws it passes, the better." close quote. also, employment lawyers who have looked at the statute agree with me that there is no big subsidy that we should be able to take with us to the exchange. for instance, david ermer, the lawyer who has represented insurers for 30 years said -- quote -- "i don't think members of congress and their staff can get fund for coverage in the exchanges under the existing law." that was in "the new york times." many other employment lawyers have said the same because it's crystal cl

trying to keep a campaign promise, one that he doesn't think enough people in washington do, that is to defund or get rid of obamacarehe's not really making a lot of friends doing that. >> if you get outside of washington, d.c., there is a frustration with washington that is palpable. the answer is obamacare is killing job, taking away my health insurance, drive up my premium, causing small businesses to shrink and go out of business. if we listen to the american people, that should be our priorities. >> reporter: so certainly, ted cruz thinks he is on a crew said. he is changing the way he's arguing this to fellow republicans and saying if you don't support this filibuster, you are effectively supporting the continuation of obamacare. i've got to tell you, it's not even working with the top republican in the senate, that's mitch mcconnell. he says he is not going to be with ted cruz. >> thank you very much. this is going to be great drama. and a great get by dana, talking to ted cruz. if it doesn't get raised, it will be what one expert told me is cataclysmic. that will take a toll on what happen does america. the u

washington. it's about the fact that obamacare isn't working and the american people are hurting. ticians in washington to listen to constituents and the american people, that's how we'll change things in washington. >> we try to talk about how it i will cost people. instead of a $2500 savings it's a $7500 increase on average for a family of four and how unsustainable. the cbo said it will bankrupt us. you said on the floor the other night even big labor is on board. have you ever spoken to them? i i'm curious. >> we have reached out to them but haven't been able to connect the dots. the prediction i made is before the end of this -- his second term, president obama will grant an exemptions for big labor. he already granted one for labor. labor has been told to wait a while. it's not a good time politically. you know, i don't think this should be about the politically powerful getting exemptions, special treatment. congress having, as dick durbin put it, first class health care and the american people in coach or the baggage compartment. we shouldn't have exemptions. if they are go

obamacare. just a couple weeks ago washington said it was impossible. the third step is this week, unifying senate republicans, getting all 46 republicans to stand together and the next step is getting red state democrats to come together to listen to the american people and stop the train wreck that is obamacare. >> the president said he will not negotiate on the debt and he made a statement that the debt, if we increase the debt limit it won't necessarily increase the debt. maybe my calculator is off. i would assume it would. >> well, look, the president's approach is refusing to talk about problems. if we get senate republicans to stand together this week, that will change that dynamic. let me say, i can't imagine any republican who campaigned against obamacare voting on friday along with harry reid and d to fund obamacare.t to empower it's the friday vote that matters. this week, phone calls to the senators will make the difference. >> senator, i applaud your efforts. i'm with you. to me, that is tipping point for the country. every republican ran o

and this draft rule was basically designed to take any of the sting of obamacare away for washington insiders, specifically members of congress and their staff. during the obamacare debate, we debated a on the floor and it ws actually adopted. the amendment said, every member of congress -- all congressional staff have to go to the exchange have, to leave their very generous health coverage, have to go to the fallback position in terms of health care coverage that millions of americans are dealing with and have to go to right now and over the next several months and have to live under those same rules and under those same circumstances as those tens of millions of americans. i supported that. i think it's important that the ruling elite, if you will, need to live under the same laws they create, across the board. and specifically, under obamacare, i think it's very, very important that everybody in congress and in washington -- and i think this should be expanded to the administration -- live under the same system in terms of the exchange that many of those folks created. now, that

washington. across the board, certainly including obamacare. mr. president, we had a debate about that several years ago during the obamacare debate and actually that concept at least won out and we were able to add a grassley amendment to the bill which was passed into final law. i was a strong supporter of that language. was somewhat amazed that we got it included, but we did in the democratic process, and it is now part of the law, part of the statute. and that law says clearly, unequivocally, every member of congress, every official congressional staff has to go to the exchange for their health care, the same fallback plan as is there for the american people under obamacare. i advocated for that strongly since the very beginning of the obamacare debate. whatever the fallback plan for america is, that should be the plan for washington. that should be the plan. no other choices, no special privileges or exemptions or subsidies for washington. and so that was part of the statute that passed into law. but i guess, mr. president, it was a classic ca

i have to ask you, the conversation going on in washington right now is defunding obamacare.o you think, can it happen? and other republicans have tried now for the times to stop. they're trying now. will that work? >> actually, i do not think that it will with all due respect to my republican friends on the hill. it has been a good talking point for them and it is true that there are a lot of problems with obamacare and people unhappy with it. the obamacare program is also tied up in entitlement. there is lot to do with health care in this country that is entitlement driven, not discretionary. it is not discretionary spending. even if we did take -- even if we did defund obamacare we would still have to be funding some kind of health care program which would be mosy to the entitlement program. gerri: we are already finding many, medicare, medicaid, chips, you name it. the federal government is spending, what, three out of five health care dollars in this country. it is astonishing. i want to ask you about another government program that is getting a lot of attention today. b

obamacare. the most recent poll says the public does not want this law in any form at all. "washington post" fighting 52% of americans oppose obamacare. in the latest fox poll, 60% of americans say they oppose obamacare and the law they say does not work. president obama promised if you like your health care and your doctor, you would be able to keep them both. even the liberal "new york times" taking issue with the claim the times reporting many insurers are limiting the choice of doctors and hospitals available to consumers under their plans because of the cost of complying with obamacare. the president promised further obamacare would bring down costs to typical american family, smudges $2500 per year. administration continues to articulate the false claim obamacare is also reducing health care costs. new form studies released today confirm the average family of four will see an increase in annual health care cost of more than $700,000 over the next eight years. an increase of about $800 per year not to mention a 41% of small businesses and 12% of all companies who have cut employee

washington, and that is to apply the same rules to washington as are applied to the rest of america, across the board, certainly, including in obamacare. of course, madam president, what i'm talking about is ending the special washington exemption from obamacare. that exemption is moving forward 6 under what i consider clearly not illegal rule issued by the obama administration. and it's illegal because it's contrary to the statute, contrary to the clear language, contrary to the lear wang wage of an obamacare provision that says every member of congress, all congressional staff, need to be treated like the millions of other americans who are going to the so-called exchanges for their health care, 8 manipulate yon against their will, losing their previous employer-provid employer-provided -- 8 million against their will, losing their employer-provided subsidies. let me recount the history because it's important. several years ago during the obamacare debate, there was a proposal made by many, including myself and one of the leaders was senator chuck grassley was iowa, and that proposal was adopted iowa, amazingly, to my surprise -- pl

obamacare. >> and these little darlings that we send to washington d.c. and the administration official after a year to the laws that they write for everybody watching and listening also a 2.0 something we should know the outcome on the bitter amendment and the republican response sent to the senate here within the hour in we will leave you up-to-date. >> i think it is a clear-cut message to the american people from here on out there will be members that say i need the exemption or the subsidy what is good to pass is not good enough for me the president tries to put off for one year but it is not good for the body so that is a lesson they will learn over the next few months. >> ted cruz in the other republicans who have seized the moral high ground? in the right place morally in other rice said of history it will be interesting to see how this unwinds. always good to talk with you david. we will be right back. lou: the president and senate democrats refused to negotiate or compromise to keep the government running. the congressman is our guest next. ll uh
