harping on them for. they knew september 30th and october 17th when we hit the debt ceiling or unable to pay our bills. why do they take these vacations? because, again, it s the power deal. they want to put each other into a corner, back each other into a corner, and, you know, the vacations i don t mind. but you are absolutely right. they all knew that this was coming down the pike. but, i think that the intensity of obama care caught a lot of the people by surprise in washington. such strong feeling about it. and there is a growing anti-feeling about it. i think that caught some democrats by surprise. greta: how is the new book selling? we did about 400,000 in 10 days for killing jesus. that s good. a lot of people learning about jesus. you would be surprised how many people have no idea about him as a man. they don t know what happened to him. they know he was hung on the cross why or where or who did it the book is a phenomenon right now and we are very very greater weight
without congress or anyone else, but now he knows he can t. but he is unwilling to do his job, which is to work together with both houses of congress and try to break this impasse. greta: is he working with senate majority leader harry reid? they certainly are saying the same thing but do you think they are working together on this? absolutely. as a matter of fact, you you probably saw the same reports i did where the president was thinking about having a meeting of the leadership and then harry reid told him don t do it. i have got your back. i have got it under control. of course, everything the house has tried to float, to break this impasse, including eliminating the congressional carveout from obama care, eliminating the penalty for individuals for one year like the president has done for employers, those have been rejected. and, so that s why we are at this impasse. greta: i don t get i assume and correct me if i am wrong, the senator jordan leader party of the senate but
greta: you know what i actually like about the even though they retreated, i like the fact that they retreated before there was a problem and we didn t lose any navy seals or anyone else. i actually thought that was well-executed even though it was not successful. let me ask you one final question before you leave. fire away. greta: since it is your birthday, what do you want for your birthday. if everyone would help freeman alliance. help those particularly wounded and of course those kids who have lost a parent, loved one in the line of duty they get the scholarships from freedom alliance they can go to the freedom alliance web page or i think the web page is up on your site so they can go find it out there and make a contribution if they would, that would be a great, great birthday present. greta: indeed it, would colonel north, thank you, nice to see you. thank you. greta: up next, bill o reilly is here. we are kicking off the new fox news prime time, bill o reilly
solve it? well, the compromise that we put forth is one that s been in play that you delay the individual mandate for a year to iron out the kinks so that the folks can see exactly how this law is going to effect them direct whether i premiums, deductibles, co-pays, all of that they are not ready to go online with it anyway. you can t register. it s chaotic. doctors don t know what they are in for. so if somebody wants to sign up, they should be able to because it is the law of the land. i think president obama should give everybody the option and give everybody a break. greta: are you suggesting president obama is being stubborn about this that he should do that? and if so, how do you get him to come around to your viewpoint. yes, i am suggesting he is being stubborn and i have no idea how to get him to come around to my viewpoint. maybe if you locked me and him in a room he would do it. he would just so desperate to get out of the room, but i have no idea. the republicans may b
