We were talking it was hard to know, you look forward to what happens next, now that you re here in new york reflecting on it, where are people pointing the fingers? there will be plenty of game to go around freight assignment will hud back because people might believe it s as you nami. it was designed for all emergencies. this is not out in the middle o the pacific great tsunami, hurricane or that simon doesn t mean run towards the mountains, i think people are short enough to people try to run away from the flames come up but there wa a number because of that. here s what i was told, i talke to a lot of people. all over west maui including a lot of guys who delve into that fire to fight it. this is what i ve been told. the numbers are going to be way higher. all of these guys said that the didn t want to put numbers on it , they did see many many bodies, i want you to know that
About what they are doing here. i think the reason simon doesn t like it is because it gives the republicans leverage to force the president to deal with the debt. the president has as much chance of succeeding as you have of getting john bolton to cry on your show. megyn: i think i can do it. a challenge? i bet you can. in the last 27 years, every significant debt reduction bill that passed starting with graham rosen has been linked to a debt limit increase. this is the only tool in washington that forces both sides to do something about the debt and spendersing. so republicans aren t going to give this up because it s the only tool they have in this political situation to stop the president from going forward. and the reality is last year speaker boehner set an important resident. it s called the boehner rule. one dollar in spending increase
Parenthood to servicewomen in the united states. and it s a provider that is very popular with women, and imagine taking on any institution that serves a quarter of all the women in the united states. the republicans are paying a terrible price for the way they ve handled this issue. on the economy let s be clear, the talking points all day from the republican party is this was a bad jobs report. the unemployment rate went down. i don t really understand how the argument that we are hearing, that somehow the economy is going in the wrong direction, we just had the best quarter of job creation in six years, and all the trend lines are heading in the right direction, which is one of the reasons why the republicans are in troeubl right no trouble right now in the national polls. on the two issues here, the economy and healthcare the democrats are in the right place skwraoeu don place. megyn: i don t think i ve ever seen simon get so fiery. that is very fiery for simon. the than the unemp
Doesn t include business people or a loud business voice, i don t know that it gets through. jenna: it will be interesting to watch, again, pending congressional approval, this will be the new team that the president has. like i said, i m sure this guy is a lovely man. i think it s got to be the worst job in the world right now. i wouldn t want it! jenna: simon doesn t want that job! but someone s got to do it. gregg: lovely man, nice job. that s a record. new poll numbers showing the president is looking support with groups of voters who helped him actually win the white house back in 2008. but how does it compare to republican candidates hoping to win in 2012? more on that. hurricane irene may be gone, but for some, the problem is just beginning, a house surrounded by flood waters, explodeing this morning. can you believe it? firefighters even having trouble reaches those flames. we re going to have a live update. and hurricane irene, got the cat four storm that everybody f
Government, we re ending up with a strategy that would slow down growth and increase the deficit. we re in the early stage of this debate on both sides and hopefully the two parties can come together and find common ground. megyn: simon doesn t seem too upset about president obama saying what he said and nor are many on the left. one senior democratic official came out over the weekend saying scott walker has handed us a gift. he took a deflated, fractured party, and has given us a unified, energized, and motivated base. i think they re completely out of touch. they don t get what the american people were saying in november, but the republicans did. they will stay true to their word. the 26 republican governors get it. they have tough budget situationsnd they re rolling up their sleeves and attacking the root cause of the problems.
