Gregory:
wow D.C. had a dramatic week!
Brooks:
the moderate Republicans
had
a manhood injection
Dionne:
the era of big Tea Party is over
– we
wasted $24 billion
Bartiromo:
the economy took a hit
Mitchell:
the tea party is not done for
but
the grown-ups like Paul Ryan will
make
a very adult one-year budget deal
[
break ]
Gregory:
can you all make a deal?
Schumer:
moderate Republicans are
fighters
but not crazy
Gregory:
ok
Schumer:
we could also pass a law
taking
the debt ceiling off the table
Gregory:
but shouldn't Republicans
keep
the threat to wreck America
in
order to get what they want?
Coburn:
that's stupid
Gregory:
I'm still asking
Coburn:
I don't blame the tea party –
I
blame outside interests who took
advantage
of morons in the house
Gregory:
is the fight against Obamacare over?
Coburn:
it doesn't matter – we have
more
debts that the GDP of the country
Gregory:
so sad
Coburn:
we need leaders to bring
Americans
together and cut the
debt
after raising it for 30 years
Gregory:
isn't Obamacare a failure
and
who should be fired?
Schumer:
the good news is people
are
trying to get on – we were worried
not
enough people were going to try
Gregory:
let me get beyond
policy
and get back to politics
Schumer:
oh fuck you Fluffy
Gregory:
polls say people hate Congress
– should
we have term limits?
Coburn:
yes we don't have enough
newcomers
in the House
Gregory:
right
Coburn:
we're drunk on spending
in Washington
Gregory:
has the GOP brand been damaged?
Coburn:
Washington wastes a lot of money
Gregory:
right
Coburn:
only sick people are signing
up
for Obamacare – healthy people
aren't
and won't without stronger penalties
Gregory:
are you calling for
stronger penalties?
Coburn:
am I?
[
break ]
Gregory:
we got a last minute deal
but
don't we still have a crisis?
Lew:
yes we do but a least
we
didn't default
Gregory:
what damage was done?
Lew:
it slowed down an already
fragile
economy
Gregory:
that's not good
Lew:
no
Gregory:
Republicans are bragging that
they
kept the big sequester spending cuts
Lew:
those cuts are holding back the economy
Gregory:
whose fault is this?
Lew:
the tea party you dumbass
Gregory:
but Ron Fournier says that
Obama
must lead the tea party to reason
Lew:
we cut the deficit in half!
Gregory:
because of the sequester cuts
which
Obama doesn't deserve credit for
Lew:
why not?
Gregory:
because I say so
Lew:
we reduced the deficit but we also
need
to create jobs like passing the
farm
bill and immigration bill
Gregory:
the Obamacare website
is
slow which is a disaster
Lew:
there is a massive outpouring
of
interest which is good
Gregory:
yes but Obamacare is
evil
and also too slow
Lew:
we will fix it
Gregory:
can Obamacare survive?!?
Lew:
calm down Fluffy
Gregory:
I can't!
Lew:
the test will be in January when
people
are actually enrolled
Gregory:
what must Iran do to
get
sanctions removed?
Lew:
the sanctions are to get Iran
to
give up all attempts to build a bomb
Gregory:
so enriching less uranium
would
mean less sanctions
Lew:
no you don't listen – they have
to stop enriching
in pursuit of a
nuclear weapon no
matter the amount
Gregory:
thanks Lew
[
break ]
Gregory:
Bibi aren't talks a good thing?
Netanyahu:
maybe – if we get total
rejection
of Iran's nuclear weapons
program and
if we don't have war
I guess I can live with that
Gregory:
Obama may unfreeze Iran's
assets
if they take steps to shut
down
their weapons program
Netanyahu:
now is the time to
increase sanctions on Iran!
Gregory:
it is?
Netanyahu:
you don't accept half-way
measures – they
don't get to build
just a few nuclear weapons
Gregory:
I see
Netanyahu:
Iran supports terrorists
Gregory:
what about tougher sanctions?
Netanyahu:
Iran should dismantle its
centrifuges
and heavy water plutonium
Gregory:
what else?
Netanyahu:
Iran has oil but even assuming
they
want peaceful nuclear energy
they
don't need centrifuges or heavy water
Gregory:
do like Assad and would
like to see him in power?
Netanyahu:
no because Assad is Iran's puppet
Gregory:
oh really?
Netanyahu:
yes Iran is Syria and Syria is Iran
Gregory:
I love it
Netanyahu:
thanks Syrian people are
suffering and it's Iran's fault
Gregory:
what else?
Netanyahu:
Iran is responsible for the
tea
party, the NY Giants and the Dexter finale
Gregory:
my god it's worse than I thought
[

Gregory:
Jim DeMint says Obamacare
is a disaster!
Dionne:
he's wrong
Gregory:
but disaster! Disaster!
Dionne:
you could be replaced by a
fluffy parrot
Gregory:
disaster!
Dionne:
this is going to work
Mitchell:
you can apply by phone but
it's complicated
Gregory:
right
Mitchell:
they have 60 days to get this
to
work or all of Obamacare will completely fail
Gregory:
disaster!
Brooks:
Obama is good at campaigning
and
bad at governing
Bartiromo:
growth! Jobs!
Dionne:
we should stop outsourcing
IT to idiots
Brooks:
exchanges are a Republican
idea
so they shouldn't be too happy
about the glitches
Mitchell:
no one wants to hear from
Jim DeMint anyway
Gregory:
who are the winners and losers?
Dionne:
with all due respect to Ron Fournier
– Obama
won because he dealt with
the
tea party like the idiots they are
Mitchell:
Mitch McConnell is the winner
Gregory:
but Raul Labrador is on my
show
every week and he's right to hate Obama
Brooks:
Raul Labrador is proof there
is
no limit to how dumb someone can be
Gregory:
I object to that
Brooks:
ok David
Gregory:
is Ted Cruz the face of conservatives?
Bartiromo:
there are no losers because
people
are disgusted with Washington
so
basically Obama lost
Dionne:
no the people have turned
on the tea party
Gregory:
when is Obama finally going
to
prove he can lead the tea party?!?!
Mitchell:
that's the real test of
Obama's presidency –
both
sides are to blame
Brooks:
Obama has never proved
he can lead
the tea party – maybe
he should stop trying
Gregory:
maybe
Brooks:
Obama should go all in on immigration reform
Mitchell:
silicon valley!
Gregory:
isn't that a better idea than
cutting medicare?
Dionne:
where have you been fluffy
– he
just proposed immigration reform!
Gregory:
he did?
Dionne:
people say Obama should 'lead'
– they
really mean he should adopt
Republican positions
which is not
leading - it's capitulation
Gregory:
liberals have been demanding
Wall
Street be punished and now they
are
getting hit with massive fines
and
may criminal charges
Bartiromo:
this will hurt the economy and jobs
– Obama
keeps slamming Wall Street
Gregory:
OMG Hillary might run or President!
Mitchell:
she signaled to women that
she is running
Dionne:
well sure
Bartiromo:
Business likes Hillary because
Bill balanced budgets
Brooks:
hold on – the nation is mad
at politicians and
liberals don't want
another triangulating conservative
Dionne:
Hillary was a conservative populist
Gregory:
what's happening Todd?
Todd:
Virginians are mad about the shut down and blame Republicans
Gregory:
Ted Cruz?
Todd:
Conservatives love him
– he's a rock star
Gregory:
Obamacare is a disaster!
Todd:
they need to fire someone
– that will solve everything
Gregory:
thank you – and that's
another
episode of Meet The Press
