That includes killing obama care. it will not exist. there will not be such a bill. it will never get to the president. it will never get to the presidents desk. >> listen, chris, i agree with you but i also agree with matt. this law is not ready for prime time. using the c.r., a short-term c.r. to try to come up with some language thats agreeable to delay it for a year, i think is something that could happen within the context of a negotiation. what will not happen is jamming a defunding legisl...

That hostage for -- to fiscal responsibility is simply unacceptable. the president has no intention of doing that. very frankly, all of the reasonable republicans that ive talked to know that its a nonstarter. john boehner and eric cantor know its a nonstarter. they talk about it but they try to set up a procedure where they would make their point for the 41st time that they want to see at fordable care act repealed and then go on with a cr, with a continuing resolution, which would be supportab...

>> i always love talking to you because i know you are not believing the same things. it is in your heart. i appreciate your activity. >> our whole goal is to support you in your fight and right now were looking at obama care. what are the chances we have in the house right now of getting obama care defunded? >> well, unless our leadership is willing to take more of a strong stand and not separate out the funding of obama care from the cr, then the chances are not good at all. >> uh-huh. reality...

And that is working our way through the issues and i think there is a way to get there and i will be continuing to work with our fellow members to address the concerns. >> and senate majority leader harry reid said that tea party faction of the house is holding them hostage. >> i said on the florida today anarchist are winning. anything that can be done to slow down and hurt or get rid of government in any way that is good. shutting down the government obviously is what the majority of the repub...

>> 12, i think. >> where are the rest of them? >> they are playing games and being dishonest saying things like i am a cosponsor of the ted cruz bill. they will not sign the letter mike lee has making a pledge that they will fund all of the government except for obamacare, period. no matter what. they wont do it. they will vote one time for a phony vote and the rest they will -- >> there will be deception. >> we are seeing it already. >> its going on as we speak. eric cantor announced a defund m...

Unconvincing as you could possibly imagine. >> so why has this mounting mediaism cr -- media criticism cut across the party lines? joining us now, lauren ashburn fox news contributor and david zurich for the washington son and an anchor on the new adventure "post tv." lauren, it seems to be a rare moment when liberal and commentators, left, up, right, down are united in criticism president obama. >> nobody wants this war even the public. look at the polls. 36% are approving of this? that is the ...

Except obama care. the cr should be passed. minus the funding of this. that should be taken through to the senate. from the house to the senate. >> but the idea is you would hold support of continuing resolution if the presidents health care law was funded. which would not have the votes provided for the government to run, correct? >> it is a call to pass the cr minus the funding. and then put that in the presidents court. let the president make the decision as to whether or not hes going to tak...

File on this issue. complicating matters further, what to do on the health care act and address the debt ceiling also looming once again. >> shutting down the government just because im for keeping it open, thats not an economic plan. threatening that you wont pay the bills in this country when weve already racked up those bills, thats not an economic plan. >> all right. so whats the solution. predicted short-term spending revolution that funds the government through, say, mid november. but he a...
